(0 ) 21:58 Happy April Fools'! I hope you guys didn't get pranked badly or anything. Haha. I know I didn't, considering that my day was spent quite normally.
Parents got the air-con serviced. FINALLY. Now I can sleep without annoying dripping noises in the background. Oddly enough, I never dreamed that it was raining. In fact, come to think about it, in my dreams it never rains. I guess one never really pays attention to the weather, but more to the things that happen. Now those are vivid.
Also went to the library to study. Jurong West Community Library, to be exact. I wanted to go to Jurong Regional actually, but it is quite far. The JWCL isn't as nice, nor is it as big. The study tables are along a wall, as opposed to the ones at JR which are placed next to floor to ceiling windows. Maybe I'll go there if I can convince someone to go with me. I was also sitting at an area near the photocopying station, so it was kind of noisy. And my GOD, the KIDS. I. Hate. Kids. Well, not really. Just ones who can't behave properly and go about screaming and crying and playing and running. And I hate their parents too. As much as I don't like to say this, if the parents were to take their children in hand, this would not happen. Really, parents these days spoil their children far too much. I was never a noisy child, and my parents never had problems with me in public (hehe, in public, mind). Most of the parents simply left their children unsupervised, or even worse, not caring if they made any noise at all. Many just shushed their children, but how would the children know that making noise is wrong if the reason is not explained to them? So they would keep quiet for a while, then continue to make noise when they forget all about their parent's half-hearted reminder. Oh yeah, JWCL was FREEZING cold. Brrr. I even brought my jacket. I'll bring my purple Mango one next time, which is thicker. Hehe.
It seems that I haven't posted for a week either. Heh. This week has been kind of slack, really, considering that I missed Wednesday due to our choir performance for an Interpol conference, and 6 periods was taken up on Friday for council elections. Oh, and we didn't have Physics on Thursday either, because Mr Tan was absent from school. A lung infection, apparently. That gave us a three hour break before PE, and Yvette, Da En and I took taht oppurtunity to visit a sports warehouse in MacPherson which, truth be told, is just a small shop selling sports goods. It wasn't especially cheap either, but that's not the point. Haha.
Went for commserve on Thursday at the same place I used to go to last year, but instead of tutoring the kids, there's a new reading programme going on because they didn't want us as tutors anymore, LOL. They said we were inconsistent because as students, we don't turn up during exam periods and such, which is when the kids need us the most, too, so since they had adult volunteers already, they decided we could help the kids in other ways. Problem is, there aren't many kids who signed up for the reading programme, and the girl I got could actually read without too much trouble. Another problem is, I don't know how well she is supposed to read at her level, which makes it hard for me to try and help her. Maybe I'll read up a bit.
Went for NJ Choir's Soundscape 2006 concert yesterday. It was fantastic! I love the casual atmosphere, and the choir is good. XD I especially adored the second half, with the a cappella group performances. It was worth every single cent of the $5 I paid for the two hour concert. EVEN the rush to 7-11 to eat a hurried dinner and the run to NJ to their main entrance, which we jokingly termed "choir PT". Haha.
Am going to school tomorrow (a Sunday!) to support Chee Yang at the Campus Superstar finals. It's going to be held at LT3. I have no idea how they're going to get a live feed in there, but I guess they'll manage it somehow. I don't expect a lot of people to turn up -- in fact I'm going just because I'm curious how it'll be like, and also because a few of my classmates are going too. After all, it IS a Sunday, and it'll end late, and we have school on Monday. Not like I have anything really important on Monday anyway. I think I have something like a Physics lecture, a Maths tutorial and a Physics tutorial, and that's about it. Yeah. And I have a 5 period break in between. How boring.
Oh blah. Nothing else to update. I think this post is sufficiently long anyway. I hope it's enough to satisfy you guys until next weekend or something, LOL. Kathy's not updating much either. *pokeprodstab*
Ooh, a random fact: this is post 200!
