Anyhoo, yesterday was my very last lesson in Anthony's tuition.
It's quite sad to know that all this has come to an end though I was only there for like 2 years plus.
I used to have Malay tuition only during Form 1 and 2, then mum got me two home tutors.
They practically didnt teach me much, they were just making sure I do exercises and revision,
and I started to dislike tuition and whenever I thought of tuition, the next word that would come in mind is crappy-boring.
So, I decided to have a change and joined Anthony's tuition right before PMR.
Like everyone else, having our first time there would be pretty nervous, some were even afraid.
But guess what? I never thought tuition would be this fun. =)
Learning and having fun, both at the same time, isn't that the best combination?
Sir has been an awesome teacher, like seriously.
Though he likes to joke around, fool a lil' here and there with the students, I don't call this unprofessional.
It's just, every teacher has his own way to communicate, to understand more about his students.
And there are times that people would spread rumors.
Y'know? It's like when people say something bad about your siblings or friends but you'd choose to not trust them and still thinks your family and friends didnt do it?
Yeah, just like that, we students chose to believe that sir isn't that kinda person like those rumors said. =)
So those people out there who are trying to spread rumors and cut down the number of students, you practically failed. x)
I've much to tell, but I couldn't find the words.
I'm just glad that tuition has been real nice for the last few years of my high school life and sir has created more laughters and awesome memories for us. ;D
We had lucky draws on Friday and bunch of crazy friends I have! ♥
Mandy, Kelly, Geok Cheng and Rou Ning were way nervous than I was and they're such tacit friends.
What a bombsheel!
They kinda screamed together when Mandy insisted the paper has my name on it, when I strongly disagree.
So yeah, it wasn't me, and Kelly nagged on Mandy for giving me false hopes, like a mother. LOL
It's alright, mates, no worries. As long as we had fun, ain't? =)
And they had singing-drama-episodes when this song was playing.
Kelly and Mandy would made it through to success if they choose being a comedian as their career. :D
They even imitate cats and meow-ed loudly a lot a lot of times. Hope no one else heard it, or they'd think we're crazy. x)
So, thank you sir for everything. All the teachings, all the laughters, all the awesome memories.
And thank you mates too, for making tuition even more fun with all the random stuffs and jokes, even all the silly embarrassing moments. ♥♥
I'd love to write an entry on the graduation ceremony and the graduation night dinner.
I would really love to, but I can't. I could but I just can't. If you get what I mean.
I'll write it up, some other day, but I guess it probably won't be posted til December and by then I might eventually just ignore it. :/
But I really do have a lot of thoughts, thoughts on everything. Seriously everything.
Here's some.. teaser? Sneak peek would be a better word.
*Seriously influenced by the kpop industry LOL*
Best two selcas of the day:
Joella! ♥
Desk mates FTW! ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Bee Gaik, Joella, me & Mandy!
Here are some shots that I likey too! ;D
Thanks to Alison, the make up artist of the day! ♥
Never knew we looked so spectacular. Haha.
After the dance, we were doing crazy stuffs in the classroom
with the cam taking shotssss on self timer mode. LOL
There are MORE.
BTW, loadsa thanks to the graduation night dinner president!
She did a really great job with her fellow committees. ♥♥♥
The technical problems weren't their fault, we don't blame them. It's the school's fault. x)
Thanks for making our graduation dinner an awesome one =)
Okay, you'd probably think we're crazy, with all the make ups and stuffs.
So, here's a pic to make it up.
This is cute! No complains, right? =p
Anyhow, yesterday night was my last tuition class in Anthony's centre in Seang Teik road.
And the classroom is renovated with new awesome black wooden tables and walls painted in yellow. red, purple and orange!
I really like it cuz it makes lessons that not dull and sleepy anymore but too bad it's my last time there. ;(
I was somehow suddenly told to take a photo with Anthony, I thought I must have looked shock in the photo.
I went to Mei Thung's BBQ party yesterday and it was fun although we were quite exhausted after the cross country run. =)
It was raining like hell the moment we started the cross country run and we were all wet like we just came out from swimming pool.
But Laurine, Meithung, Shuen Yee and I made it up to the top in less than an hour, while Man Thing who said wanna run with me had gone way far.
Some steps were pretty slippery and we almost fall down, but luckily we didnt. =)
When we almost reach the finishing line, Ms Ng eavesdropped what we were saying when we were at the junction to school.
She was like, Oh you girls are band members, you all should have better stamina compare to others and run til the end.
Due to lack of running for we form 5 girls this year, I kindly answered her, we already tried our very best to run up the hill and we're now here. And gave her a grin. LOL
Ming Yi captured us when we finally reach the finishing line and I didnt know.
Okay, image... spoiled.
I've never looked that wet and messy in public.
But who cares, we made it to the finishing line. ;D
And I doubt you'd be ever to spot me? =p
Beach time!
I didnt bring my camera, because I thought it's bulky and I eventually forgot about it.
So, all the pics (except a couple) are taken by Carmen, my lovely schoolmate/tuition mate back in primary school, which is one year younger than me. =)
We had so much in common, she has the same iphone cover as I do, the I <3 Paul Frank cover, and she changed it before coming to the party.
And I changed my mind not to wear my Lacoste collar T-shirt last minute and she wore it, the exact same one, same colour! LOL
Mei Thung's box of charcoal ended up was a box of drinking water, so while waiting for the charcoal to arrive, Man Thing and I played around in the beach.
We went to the shore, dig the sand with out feet, she buried my feet in the beach, we pushed each other (it was a game) and etc etc.
Then, we sang Mei Thung birthday song and look! Her cake has an octopus. LOL
Didnt know she's an octopus too. Third octopus in percussion, after me, and Nan Rou.
Time to start the fire but it we took an hour plus.
Samantha and I ended up borrowing starters from the group of college guys beside us.
They were nice, to give us two! ;D
One of it finally started to actually burn, after we tried for so long. =)
But I've no idea what was dear gina, Man Thing and I :O for. -.-
Yeah, I was busy BBQ-ing for the others.
But I did have fun. =)
Gaik Sean and I. =)
This silly gina kept Justin Bieber Justin Bieber and they sang so loud in the beach,
people actually starred at us. LOL
Samantha. =)
With Mei Thung, the birthday girl. =D
Well, her birthday was on Monday, actually.
Let's go crazy, though I dont look so. ><
Here comes Mei Thung! Haha.
We tried to carry her but failed. LOL
And so, I piggybacked her. =D
Time for pictures for all the band members!
It's a coincidence that all the band members are the last to leave, except for Carmen, the photographer. =)
Gina with her weird pose.
And Kai Jo with her kiam pa face, she said. Haha.
I went back after that around 8.30 and I think I slept like nobody's business. Hee.
Anyway, thank you Mei Thung for inviting us! =) You made yourself so busy. -.-
And this is another awesome memories with you guys. ;D
Yipee! I had my braces removed yesterday! After 4 years.
Am just so happy, I dont have to go to the orthodontic anymore.
No more metals, no more rubber bands to tighten the teeth, no more weird arch in the mouth... most of all, I dont have to endure the pain anymore! ;D
It felt kinda weird at first. It looks like a bunch of fake teeth. -_-
Cuz they cleaned it all for me and it was so white that it looks so fake, with the teeth being so straight.
But yeah I got used to it after a while. =)
I dont look a lot different, right? =)
Went out for movie with Mei Thung, Jia Yi, Yi Qi and Pui Cheng today since it's a public holiday here in Penang, no school! =D
Wanted to watch Toy Story but both 3D and non 3D tickets are sold out.
Both of my sis were following me to watch it and they were so disappointed when I said tickets are sold out.
But when I said let's watch Karate Kid, Ashley was so happy again.
It was a long movie, but the story wasnt too bad.
Anyhoo, love the soundtracks. ;D
The couple beside me were freaking annoying.
Seemed like you doesnt know manners and speak softly in the cinema.
And sorry to inform you that our chairs are connected, so dont shake the whole row of chairs when you laugh. -.-
Sorry if you're trying to impress your boyfriend cuz you failed, base on your conversation, you were so dumb. Oops! :x Oh and I wasnt trying to eavesdropping, you were just too loud. ; )
Aite, sorry, I take note on a lot of stuffs, like my actions in daily life.
That's why I cant bear with people who doesnt bother their actions, which will affect people around them. -.-
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 stopLOL
There was break and we took quite a number of photos.
Lighting was so terribly bad.
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.
More photos taking while waiting.
Dont blame them, they went a lil' cuckoo after surviving with all the fever and flu.
Dear girls, we did well. We did awesome.
The first time, we, this batch of PCGHS Band members stood on this strange stage together after so many years PCGHS Band had stopped participating in indoor competition,
we tried our very best, adjust accordingly and hearing came into big help.
And what did we get?
We've got awesome happy memories to share around, we made the school and seniors proud. ;D
Although we didnt get champion, we aren't regret.
Although it was pretty scary on the shaky platforms, we showed our confidence.
Although there were erratic situations, and not used to the instruments provided, we were so adaptable.
Oh, percussionists, am so freaking proud of you girls.
Trusted you girls and you girls didnt let me down. =)
It's my last year in band, didnt have chance to take part in formation competition but it's alright.
We tried something different. And it's now filled with different experiences and memories.
PERCUSSION! Oooshh!
A lot a lot of thanks to all the loves and supports from teachers, seniors and friends!!
