___________________________________________________________________________

I've listened to this song, There's No One Else Like You the morning it was released before going to school and I already like it since then.

I like it even more cuz of the lyrics.

It's practically saying..... Hmm. xD

Alright, I wanna buy Super Junior's 4th album repackage version.

Buuuut, I wanna save money. >.<

Gotta miss it, I guess? TnT

I'm gonna get this song, convert it to acc or whatever it is and make it my iphone's ringtone.

If not, it'd be my alarm alert. Or, it'd be both. xD

Cuz I skipped school. LOL, naah, cuz it was the Penang bands indoor competition.

Skip all the preparation..

We left school around 3 something and when we reach Dewan Sri Pinang, there were quite a number of teams already.

After all the briefing and made sure everything was settle, we waited, and waited. Haha.

Competition started around 5 something, I guess.

1st team was St. Xavier. When it was BM High's turn, we were already outside of the hall.

Encouraging each other, high-ed five etc, we were basically just calm and laughing off on loadsa stuffs.

Union and Jit Sin A were next.

Went in to a room to warm up and we cheered so loud.

It was hilarious cuz we couldnt be too noisy so whenever we cheered, we shushed ourselves. LOL

We didnt get nervous, well, not until the second we started to stand by the opened door, waiting for the Jit Sin members to get down from stage.

But the moment we walked in and started going up the stage, we changed.

We were ready, to... fight. No, kidding, ready to do our very best. =)

When I first saw the timpani I went o.O

Why the hell were there so many Fs on a timpano, Cs and Gs on the other timpani?

It was labeled, labeled and labeled for numerous time. -.-

For the first time ever, I was so grateful that I used to have hearing training. =D

Back then, I hated it so much. LOL

And the platform kinda freaked us. -.-

It went a lil shaky and there was this loud shaking noise whenever Jia Yi and I each hit the bass and timpani.

But we forgot about it very soon. =)

Those lil' conversation we had on stage were pretty funny and interesting. ; )

And I was like able to look at Nan Rou, Jing Ning and Pui Cheng only, couldnt communicate with them. =S

But then this came handy, I was able to tell what they were thinking from their facial expression and body language.

Thanks to all the closeness we have and how well we know each other. ;D

So yeah, after making sure all the percussionists are ready, gave Laurine a firm nod.

The emcee started to announce, took a deep breath, and we're ready! =)

Mei Thung helped and video recorded our performance. Will post it up soon. =)

First song was Warabe Uta Fantasy.

And that bloody timpani, the pedals were so hard to step, dang hard to change note.

Plus, I was wearing heels, we all were, but I had to use the front part of my foot to step real hard on the pedals. -.-

Ours are way easier to step. =) 

Almost, I say almost, freak out when the pedal wouldnt move, I thought I couldnt change the note in time for my solo. LOL. But I got it all in hand anyway.

Next was The Eighties. We all love this song. ;D
Seriously, we enjoyed it so much. ;D

And it felt like it ended so fast, 12 minutes was used up already.

The platforms were really high for lowerbrass and they practically had to jump down wih the heels. Poor them.
Helped out and I ended up going out with 4 or 5 files with me. Haha.

When we stepped out of the hall, first thing, felt relief! Let out a deep breath.
Secondly, shouted in a very low voice, it's over! OMG OMG!
Slightly screamed and since I was first of the percussionists to come out and only Joella was in front of me, I hugged her, un-noticing-ly. xD
We were all just so happy. Next, went to Laurine. ;D

So yeah, we had a lil' food, chatted about everything on stage and went inside again.
It was Bagan's turn and since we were so high and energetic, we eventually danced and moved along to the song and some the brass and woodwinds players even sang when they sang. -.-
They followed the la laala lala la laala lala la la lala lala la.. 
and it took quite some time to make them stop LOL

There was break and we took quite a number of photos.




So up next was a few more schools and the last one was Jit Sin again, the juniors team.
Then it's time to announce the result. We were so freaking nervous.
And that prize giving ceremony was pretty.. annoying?
Cuz there were like hundreds of recorder and mini recorder competition and all we wanna hear is the final one.

When it started up with St Xavier we went o.o
When they announced they won perak we went OMG.
Next was BM High, we heard gangsa and we were like OMG OMG, it's coming.
There were a few more schools before us and we sat up straight, opened up our ears.

When the emcee said SMJK Perempuan China, took a real deep breath, crossed my fingers, looked straight at the emcee, it felt so long waiting for her to say the result.
And when she said sijil emas, we cheered, clapped and screamed like crazy!! xD
Clapped for the other schools too but we basically just lived in our own world when the emcee wasnt announcing any result. xp

While waiting for the emcee to announce whose the champion, everyone was like so quiet, stared at her.
Though it came up was Jit Sin but we were very happy for getting gold certificate.
Too bad no one took our picture down when we cheered like crazy girls. xD

So we went back very quickly cuz it was close to 10pm and all the parents were waiting already.
We were so happy, excited but exhausted and most of them slept in happiness in the bus after food. =)
Back to auditorium but couldnt open the door and so headmistress came.

Believing is seeing.

This is the day, 17 years ago, when I made my mum to rush to the hospital in the midnight.

Because I was too eager to know about this world.

Because I wanted to see things faster, so I decided to come out with a hole in my heart as a 1.9kg baby.

Who knows, my first few months in this world wasnt anything good.

I had injections, hundreds of pipes poke into my throat, nose and anywhere else.

My body was full of weird stuffs, constantly taking medicine. But I survived. ^^

Once I heard a teacher saying we should thank mum on our birthday, 

because she was the one who suffered, but bringing us to the world, bringing joy to the family.

So, thank you mum. =)

This was mum's birthday, a week before mine. =)

The day before my birthday this year was a disaster. Real disaster.

But on my birthday, it was a day I'd remember forever. 

Probably because I was still living with the effects I had from the day before (LOL!) but it was full of awesome memories too. =D

My friends wished me throughout the night.

After I fell asleep at 10pm, I've been constantly waking up since 12am til 6.20 when the alarm rang.

Thank you dear friends for wishing me, though you guys could wish me when you all see me in school. ;D

Alison and Samantha gave me an orangey bag and pop tarts! ^^

During last few classes, Mei Thung came to class and stuffed something into my bag.

It was blue, and I went what is it?

It has a big head, I went OMG!

It has eight legs, I laughed.

It's an octopus from dear percussionists. =D

This is kinda cute. Haha.

Pikachu to the rescue! Piikaa~! 

LOL

Different people has different point of views,

and from these clouds picture,

what do you see?

Let me tell you,

I see four faces: two scary threatening ones, two frightened ones.

I see shadows by the side who are unable to help the frightened ones,
even with powerful weapons. >.<

Tell me yours. =)

My finger still hurts, the wound just closed up like two days ago but it looked like it's gonna rot.

But it gets itchy today which literally means it's getting better. ;D

Poor him, has to do bilingual video. ; )

Though he's stuck with words, peeping around, and seemed didnt know how to do the starting. Haha.

This guy is freaking flexible and he made us went o.o

He twisted himself all around!

This group looks like Men In White.

xD

Heard the other dance groups members said this group is awesome, a must watch when they came out but.. oh well.

Skip.

One of the guy from this group pulled his shirt up and I was like meeh, there's no muscular abs. -_-

But yeah, they're good, for this age, but the girls were less confident?

We saw them kept peeping at the others. 

This, they were really hilarious. You can even tell it from the pic.

White faces, red lipsticks, funny gestures. ;D

We cheered, clapped and laughed. And my sis couldnt forget this team.

She mentioned them again and again in the car, see, they succeeded to leave impression to the audiences.

This two performed with a story line. =)

The girl came out with a transparent umbrella, ahh, reminds me of the time in Tokyo. -.-

They had a part where they turned and kissed.

I'm not sure if they even really kiss from my view.

But everyone went wooo~ LOL

We actually thought this group had the chance to get champion. But they got 3rd (I think?) instead. -.-

I dont exactly remember what all the groups performed but there were mat salleh and lil' kiddos.

A few teams had the hands moves thingy, something quite similar to what the Super Junior has in their Sorry Sorry dance choreography, but naah, ain't the sorry sorry part.

Of course there were a lot of breakdancing and they had showcase in between.


After announcing the 2nd but not the champion, Sam said if the _____ (Colourful) wins, she's gonna faint.
And when they announced them as champion, we were like OMG! WHAT?! :x
No offence but we thought some other groups would have higher chance.
Oh well, we're not the judges. =)

Here's Insanity, Alison's group.
They're not too bad though, probably the music wasnt flowing well.

Except I've gotta catch up on my studies. 

Results for exams we had couple of weeks back werent very satisfying.

Schedules for the coming two weeks are like dang full and exhausting.
