sorry been very tired lately and had no time to blog...but the following post is important for the 3.9 band members so listen up....

2 days ago went to the studio that my drummer suggested to me...its somewhere in commenwealth area...lutheran church if anyone knows where that is....so we can get there pretty easily and conveniently....had problem finding it...it was in a fruit store...i mean wad, kinda weird , and the peeps playing in the studio were like tatooed ppl, looked really scary like gangster liddat.....so i went in i saw that the space in the studios (3 of them) were pretty small...i guess if you try really hard everyone can fit but it's really quite tiny...1st drawback...2nd drawback $15 bucks an hour....but for month of march you get 1/2 hr free wif every 1 hr of jamming.....one thing gd...all instruments provided on request...so yeah everything from drums to guitar to everything.....So wad's the call guys...not much time left till end of march....ask me in sch for the contact no. and all on monday ya?

So i went to my grandma's place...my couz was there (father's side...not hwee...), he brought his bass guit...but no amp, pity...anyway..he has a band too, they practise in katong where there's $10 an hr for a 4 piece band studio so i guess its abt $15 again for like so many of us...i know the katong area east coast area has a lot of studios but it's really far and not convenient....Oh and my dad says if we're all really willing he'll slot us into the worship playing schedule for my preaching point so we can play like every month or so...cool eh?

Now wad did i do yesterday??? hmm....ah yes...i went to sch to do my art club thingy....i have to lead this lesson for art club and guess wad i'm teaching everyone...?? embriodery...yes you got me right...cross-stiching...lol, hey i didn't choose it, i had no choice, sharon woon made me do it....i wanted to do the cool ironing bead thing but sean took it...i wanted to do the stringing of bead things to make animals....but zephy took that...so i was left with cross-stiching.....kinda gay but hahah it's a little fun lah...but your neck gets all stiff and sore...ow. So i learned how to cross-stich and sharon woon gave me PURPLE thread...hmmm

Following that i was late so Lena Yeo was abit mad but nvrmind...she gave me a lift to Toa Payoh HDB hub for the Geog quiz thingy that i was sabotaged to do coz ding and ian couldn't...SYF lah... so i was there with all the sec 4 students who i didn't know well...to do what? answer 5 questions...wow i never felt so useful in my life....anyway it was quite interesting...they had an amazing race style race ard s'pore that tested them in geog...map reading and all...and current affairs as well...i give you this interesting quote from one of the VIP's speeches:

"I believe that a short speech is akin to a miniskirt...long enough to cover the vital parts but short enough to keep everyone still excited"

I'll try to remember that...it's a really gd punchline....

anyway...the prize presentation....we weren't in 4-10 place....3rd place was...um i forgot...then 1st runner up was...

Anglo.....Chinese.....School (oh yes..oh yes)..........BARKER ROAD!!

Oh wow...we were totally delighted....they got 24th place in the end...initially they thought the names were mixed up and they actually asked the judges and all whether they had made any mistakes....wah not paiseh wan leh.....yepz they looked a little like sore losers but i guess you would feel that way if you ran ard the whole of s'pore and got only a $15 border's voucher....and the winner got like a crap load...i can't recall...and the winner got to represent s'pore internationally in Hungary in August wow!!! So Lena Yeo wasn't very happy and she told me nxt yr she would look for me and others to form a team and try our luck again...so ian and ding watch out....(yes ppl with gd knowledge of current affairs are most welcome)

BB today...i found out ACS Barker peeps can't march for nuts...or at least those in my contingent...they were so slack lah..some were like brisk walking instead of marching...elbows not locked, not swing 90 degrees...some swang even less than 45 degrees....made us all look so bad...and we're sec3 some more...and the sec 2s were owning us...i so wanted to get into guard of honour so i could get together with ppl who could do good drill for alwhile....and the barker ppl are like wad 2 ranks above us...with that type of drill??? i think some of them ought to feel ashamed man....i donwan to make a distinction or be proud be i seriously think they shld buck up a little....i'm sry if i sound proud...i shld be more humble...but even Mr Sim said the drill he saw from all of us made him want to puke....oops, anyway i think sometimes even i'm not very gd at drill (that's why i wasn't picked for GOH)...but at least i try my best...and that's wad's important.

changwensuoduan sian leh..do we have to do..i did till 8 today planning to finish it up just in case...the hols are passing so fast...just last wk i was somewhere in limchukang....haha...so..i've been slacking during the hols...how bout the rest of you guys??

Right now gtg....worship practise with my dad for easter sunday and gd friday....cya guys
