A day I cannot forget.

At first, I didn't really get the meaning of 'half' or 'quater'(as in 'mixed'). But I didn't really realise I myself am a 'quater'.
Those who don't know, my mom's side of the family is mixed.


Which part of China is my grandfather from?... I dunno myself. Sadly, I didn't even know my grandfather was from China until a few days after he passed away. My mum told me abt his story & am surprised of his talent & interest in music. He plays the Flute(Dizhi), Er-hu(Like me!) & the eh... I forgot what was that called, haha... Anyways, I was also told that my grandfather was actually given a chance to go overseas to study music when he was a young kid. But because he was the only surviving grandson after his 4 other brothers died, his grandmother(my great-great grandmother) didn't allowed that. To think, my own Grandfather had a chance to be a musician, it feels weird. Since he always did lived with my aunt & Me & bro didn't really bond with him.(We rarely got to see him other than CNY)
Two years ago(when i was p6) my dad actually planned that CNY eve was gonna be celebrated @ our house. It was rare for it to be @ our house -since its messy & small & all...- I wanted that year to be special since my grandfather was joining & that is like as rare as money dropping down from the sky(LOL). I wanted to bring my Er-hu back home to perform for him. But before CNY, Grandfather has already been in bad health, he was sent in to SGH. But after a small op, he got better & was sent into a temporary care centre since no one was able to care for him. But, just that 1 day before CNY eve, his condition got worse & was immediately sent back to SGH. I didn't got to visit him that day since it was really late & there was school the next day... On CNY eve, after C.O performance, i rushed home with my er-hu on my back, ready to perform @ home. I was eating lunch with Dad & mom when Dad got a disturbing phone call from uncle. I still remember how the conversation went...
Dad: "Hello? Yeah, Stephen?(Uncle)... HAR?!?!... okay... I'll tell them"
When I heard this 'HAR?!?!' I just wished 'that' didn't happen. But it did. Dad just told mom "Father passed away" in chinese. Damn, that sucked alot!!! I just ran into my room & broke the news to Bro.
After that incident, I really don't wanna touch my Er-hu anymore. I wanted to quit Er-hu.
Its my own fault for not bonding with Grandfather earlier before his health went worse. But for some reason playing the erhu just reminds of him alot. I never got to hear him or seen him play the er-hu before but I had very very little description of how his Er-hu looked like. I saw it once when aunt was moving house -it was the first time I saw the instrument- too bad it was broken.
But who knew I would pick that instrument when I joined KCS's C.O at p2. But then again, my mum forced me to join C.O again when I was sec 1. Man, I wanted to give up @ that instrument.
But still, hehe. I'm still in love with the er-hu's melodies & some times the weird & funny sound it makes. =DD
An advice to you all- cherish the ones u have now... Till its too late.

Yesterday's Teacher-parent meet was hilarious...
Why? Cuz this time its not my parents but my 'guardian' or also known as my bro -who is already 18 by yr. Since he was an ex-beattyian & all, things got interesting.
Some of the teachers that taught him b/4 all came over & asked "Why are you here?" Then for the 1st teacher tht asked this he pointed @ me & replied, "Oh, my daughter." =P Yeah right...
The most funniest one is that Mr Singh actually still remembered bro. hahahahahahhahahaha
We outside the general office when Mr Singh spotted bro & walked over & asked "Why are you here?"
B-"huh? I'm the guardian*points @ me*"
Mr S.-"Guardian?! You?"
*bro nodds head*
Mr S.- "Look @ your hair!(FYI, bro's hair is long! & dyed red colour also...) You as gurdian, HORRIBLE ah."
Than we quickly said goodbye & laughed the whole way home... =DD
My report book is back but am not gonna post my results. I'm too LAZY to!

EXT & INT is better than zones!



This cosplay rocks! ^^


Navy open house was great!

Dad got to see some of his old friends there since he was in the Navy too until 1995. Haha.

Having cough. I'm surprised, my coughing didn't worsen after all the greeting "Good morning, welcome!*smile*", "Hi, this way pls!*smile*", "Hello! This way please!*smile*"... But external & internal traffice is kinda better than serving zones...(in my point of view...) Cuz I don't enjoy 'fishing' for ppl & esp cell group members have 2-3 rows all reserved, by the time it was 9.25am(25 mins after they were let in the hall...) my whole zone is normally ALL BOOK OUT. Than when service starts, no one fills their empty seats, therefore, we ushers, 'fish' for ppl to sit in our zones. Than cell group members most of the times will say 'They're coming!' then most of the time, 'they' still haven't come by the end of worship.... -.-

That is why ext & int is better......

I was too bored

Blogging alot recently...
Yesterday was marking day so there was no school, went out in the afternoon to National Library. Too bored; went to see the 'William Farqhar' thing on the 7th floor... I'm thinking of taking History next year so maybe can drop Geo & Lit.
After that, went to Marina Sq again to the shop my Dad's currently working part-time @. There was a few shops outside that had those 'UFO catcher' machines. -.- I WAS TOO BORED, i went to try playing it; see if I had any luck. 1 play= $1
I played two times... &.... TADA!


Today, have gotten back some papers... But ain't gonna tell you guys about it!! >o<"
& "WAHHH" there's C.O tomorrow... =(

Bye Byes...

Bye Bye!!

Bye bye mid years!!
Hello Freedom! Next week is the last week of school too. ^^
Can't get any better eh? Well, NAVY open house this coming Sat. >.<
Too bads, dad can't go with me, so decided to go by myself & borrow one of dad's cam to take some pics for my own.
& ah.... I really gotta get back to my er-hu self-practs. I haven't touched hu-hu since CCA suspended like a month ago.(& i swore that i wouldn't touch the er-hu after my Grandfather's death when I was P6... =.=) Got a 'scary' msg from Xuanlin(C.O President-to-be) & it began with the name 'SECTION LEADERS!'... Ahhh... & Er-hu Sect's junior sec 1s this year is the worse. Don't u think its funny for people to wanna quit C.O just because the teacher didn't give them a 5 min break? Or writing a complaint letter & made your senior cry when the seniors told you to write an apology letter. -.-''
Anyways, hope they'll change for the better.(seriously, for the better.)
June holidays quickly come! >o<

IDK what title should i give for this post.

sorry to some ppl whom have read the post that i deleted(thnks to 'someone') Just go get a brainwash & just imagine you've read nor knew absolutely nothing abt it.
Yesterday was really tiring...
After exams, went to get a haircut & came home.
After a while, i went to Marina Square to look for Daddy at his work place. Ah, i'm a complete idiot when it comes to shopping at a mall that i'm new to. It took me 15mins to find the shop!
Daddy's working part-time @ Minature Hobby. He's not there every day though, abt 3-4 days a week. I went there to see him work(actually, he's the one that told me to go find him. reason:IDK!) but ended up being quite bored. My dad then told me to help him arrange the tank models, Transformers action figures & so on. I also corrected some of the spelling errors of some anime that was displayed at the glass cases. Obviously the boss or whoever wrote the names had never been an otaku. -.-
The correct sp was 'Kuroshitsuji' but it became 'Rurositsuji'. While 'D-gray Man' became 'D-crap Man'(Laugh head off)
It feels funny to see my own hand writing in the display though, hehe.
