Whitley Rules!!

Whitley will always stay in my heart...

Yesterday was a very very very very memorable day..I'll never forget what happened yesterday..NEVER EVER..!!

First thing first, it was Ms Lin, my ex-form teacher from Whitley..er..wait...No...is Mrs Low's wedding ceremony!! The thing started at bout 2.30pm...I'm really glad that she found her happiness...her hubby will really humour her and care and LOVE her...can see it clearly that day..Haiz...I'm very envious of them...they are making all her ex-whitleyan girls (including me!) want to marry off early..so romantic!!Must quickly go find my partner..hahazz..kiddingz...

She was filled with tears when her hubby gave her and everyone a surprise...he held a guitar and started singing on stage...u know those love songs...haha...I can't remember the title...actually he sang 1 chinese song first followed by an english song..then his family force him to sing this one song...and so he did! He was so good at it btw....everything went so perfect...the surroundings became quieter until the screen showed Ms Lin crying...I felt like crying too at tha point...he was really sweet and I can tell she was also very touched..at some points she was laughing and crying at the same time...I'm sure they are going to have a great life ahead..I really do wish her and her hubby all the best...and hopefully we will be able to keep in touch!! haha.......

Anyway, then we went down all the way to j8...cause we were at Church of Singapore (Bukit Timah) so you can see the trip was quite long..but luckily we had a bus..852!! then we switched to 156...and soon enough we got to j8!! Then we took quite a long time to decide where to eat and finally we settled on Mos...

After dinner..we headed to the one place...Whitley Secondary School. They were having their annual Festspiel XVI where Whitley's concert band will play annually..but this year was a bit different. Whitley is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year..(yupz...its the same as Singapore's) And it was really significant because next year Whitley will be undergoing a huge upgrading for 3 years..so almost everything will change..so I guess its just a right timing..hahaz...For this year, they have also organised a Musical. Whitley's very own 40th anniversary special Musical!!

I kept hearing people from Whitley saying how good the musical was..so I was really looking forward to it..but first, whitley concert band performed..they were great as usual..but somehow..lotz of people were missing..this year the cohort seemed smaller..much smaller....they had a new conductor too..its like everything started quick and also ended really quickly..it took only about 45mins after the festspiel XVI ended...I was really surprised..but then I thought again..maybe they are cutting short everything for the musical..so I thought the Musical has got to be really good..

Finally the Musical started...and guess what?I was practically off my chair as I watched it..because I couldn't really see as people in front were blocking so I had to move forward a bit from my chair..haha...my back was no where near the back of my chair..throughout the whole Musical my eyes were glued to the stage and music and sound and their talks...I was amazed and shocked...! Seriously, I always thought Whitley was kind of boring and not spontaneous enough to come up with such things...I was really shocked.

The Musical highlighted everything from the history of Whitley, how we were doing at Whitley Road, to the events that happened in and out of Whitley. That includes a simple but sweet love story that happened in Whitley back then between 2 teachers and also what animals think about Whitley and its students. (*the animals (stray dogs, birds, monkeys) were always giving them strange looks.) Its a musical put up by Whitleyans...be it those studying in Whitley now or ex-whitleyans..from sec 1 all the way to 1967 graduates...Its really obvious they put in lotz and tonnes of effort in the whole Musical..it was a great success..of course they gathered help from professional stage people...can you imagine?about 2 hrs of singing and talking from all the performers and not one of them forgotten their lines and lyrics?I mean they look so professional up there...I feel really proud of them...

Now..I felt even more proud of being a Whitleyan once..the sense of joy and pride continues to overcome me. Whitleyans will always be whitleyans no matter what..I truly enjoyed my 4 years there...be it sad, angry or joyful moments..this is where i once and will always belong in...Whitley will always have a place in my heart forever til the day I die....hahaz..do I sound too serious?anyway..Whitley may not be the best school around but deep inside me, it will always be my No.1 Secondary School...I've once regreted getting in to Whitley but now I don't. The days spent there has filled up part of my teenage life and those days will never be forgotten no matter what....Whitley will be Whitley forever........................

PS: Btw..I can't believe "carrot" appeared again just now...the world really is getting smaller....haiz....

A Sense of Togetherness

A Sense of Togetherness

Yoyoz...I'm back after a week..haha..because last few days got nothing much happen..so also got nothing much to write about..BUT..yesterday, got ISAN..

Didn't feel like going at first..cause like very sianz..suddenly don't have the mood to go..like not as excited as last time..but we still went..haha...the 4 of us all feel so sianz that we start to chut ice down each other's back.haha..that was really fun...I wonder who was the first victim...(STARES at E, HH and J...humph!!)

Anyway..it got us really high...the last "victim" was E but she was too fast to catch..and she was also very aware of our motive..haha..so she kept keeping away from us..so funny.....

Then we became sianz again and went to the toilet..when we came out they were playing my favourite BSB song!! I was so so so high....and somemore they open up the rest of the rink..so we got to skate the whole rink..so it was very high! I kept going towards the rythm of the song, moving left n right....haha...I felt so calm and free...nothing is holding me back...

Music is damn improtant to me I think...I will get really high when I hear my fav songs playing in the public..I will start singing along even if I don't know the lyrics..haha..so I start mumbling..which when other people see will find me crazy..haha..but I don't care....

I started mumbling the words out while skating...and I found out that..getting quick songs really helps me..as in I will really concentrate on skating...certain slow songs also...when they are really touching I will also tone my mood down and skate according to the rythm..I think I'm not the only one who thinks like that...I'm sure a lot of other people also feel that way......

The remaining 20 mins or so was really very enjoyable...me and HH held hands and skated so fast and well..and I think I went at my highest speed so far...the breeze was blowing through...but of course still not as fast as the guys...our seniors..they practically race almost everytime..so you do feel a sudden wind blow by...hahaz.......and plus there were a lot of people standing outside of the rink..they have booked the rink for the nxt 2 hrs after 10pm...there were a lot of them and I suddenly felt the courage to skate fast..I would feel that they are amazed by people skating inside..like how i would feel if I were them...

*Looks at my gloves; the worn out and "construction worker" type gloves.....you know what?! Its time to change one!!!!!! *Hints to everyone: my FAV colour is BLUE..!!! So don't hesitate and give me one pair ok? HAHAZ...........

***Btw...I was thinking..cause I know not many people know my blog..(Cause I didn't want to tell a lot of people about it YET) I just want to find out how many people actually comes across my blog..without me telling them about it..so if you happen to chance upon my blog and starts reading it, please kindly leave a message behind...so I can keep track...heez....I'm not asking too much right? Just leave a simple message..you need not list your name down if you dun want to..(But I'd appreciate it if you did!)haha....I'm just quite curious..how far my blog will go...so...please help and thanks!!

PS: OMG!! The world can be so small that "Carrot" actually goes to np too!! Hahaz...thats very surprising.........

Something missing...

Something Missing...

It's just past midnight now...haiz..already Saturday le...so got to refer everything in here to yesterday...which is friday..

As usual ice skating was on and the 4 of us decided to go earlier to skate..I thought that I would enjoy myself like I did last friday but somehow, something was not right..up til now I still can't figure that out...I didn't have the mood to enjoy myself..it became really sianz and boring..and my feet were sore throughout the time....haiz...but there's one thing I realise that day. I could only enjoy myself when my favourite musics are on...hahaz...I didn't know how but I was able to skate really freely..even mouthing out the whole lyrics of the song...I felt calm and relax...........it's like I didn't have anything to worry about..........haha..and right after the song ended.....I was back to my usual moody and sore self.....weird huh? But I believe music really brings all the joy in me and help to relax myself..I tend to go with the rythm and skate accordingly...I was able to have a little more confidence......AH!! I love music!!!!! Haha...............

I'm tired.....Tired of being what I am now...can I have the power and guts to change myself? Sometimes things may not be what it seemed, people too may trick us in many ways through their looks. All that seems well may not be well, all that feels right may not be right either. But then again, different people, different thoughts......

PS: Do I look like I'm not approachable? Or is it something got to do with my communication abilities --- which is a down the drain zero? *pissed and tired*

We started to enjoy ourselves and everyone felt really COLD...the air con was seriously too strong..haiz...and I found a lot of "superstars"!!hahaz....our very own class superstars...the guys were also damn enthu...and some of us girls were pretty quiet...but in the end we actually sang chinese songs together!!the person there came and ask us to come out but we stayed for another 10mins..we were singing the remaining songs together..as a class...nobody was holding any microphone..we didn't need any...all of our voices combined were super loud..it was amazing..................

At first I thought of going off in the middle cause I wanted to watch DAE JANG GEUM...showing on SCV ch 55 every monday to friday 7pm...(heez...help to advertise this show...damn nice!!I love it..this is already the second time I see it..cause previously seen it on vcd....and still never fails to amaze me...!)but I stayed back til the end...I told my mum before hand that if I don't make it back in time, she shall help me record...haha...and in the end I reached home about 8pm...den after my shower I watched SUPERSTAR...and after that I was watching TV throughout the night...so now you see why I didn't have time to blog...haha...........
