the pianoforte.



yayy. the prelims are finally coming to an end.
though its not like ive been taking it very seriously, or as seriously as i should have. still, it feels real shiok. :)

im feeling a little hopeful for physics, a and e math, geog and hmt. but that's about it. still, id be pretty happy if i can improve phys geog and hmt. maybe i wouldnt feel like such a lost cause after all. ^^

hmm, elaine made a comment yesterday saying about how she missed playing piano when she didnt have piano lessons, especially during this really stressful prelims period. that's true, ive started playing more during the prelims, even though i havent quit lessons yet. thumping out pirates of the caribbean as loud as you want is definitely a stress reliever, almost like some sort of anger management thingy. but i feel kinda bad, cos i think my poor piano is definitely feeling a little battered. the pedals dont work as well now. :(


i feel reall privileged my wise parents decided to ignore my whining about not enjoying piano lessons some 9 years ago, and actually forced me to take them. who knows? maybe without this outlet, i would have snapped already.

i feel like im only really getting to know some of my classmates now, when we have less than half a year more together. my timing is soooo brilliant. still, better late than never, yes? i'll be taking with me all those great memories....ESPECIALLY of the ce project, im gonna cry laughing over that one mann.

im gonna miss all the pple sitting with/near me these past 2 years: hweeyin,jaan,merri,neerajha,rahima
jialing,paulina,ana,kirthana,neerajha(again!),jengyi

im gonna miss all the pple who sit around me in register order:
paulina,ariel,sihui,rufina,zheyang,jaan,cheryl,janelle,janet

im gonna do my best to remember every detail, tiny things that may seem trivial, but that ive kept in my memory for so long its nearly ridiculous..


4A is super-dooper. im grateful to my classmates for their cameo in my life, cos no matter how brief, they have made an impact. ^^




wow, i feel like gwyneth paltrow or something boring everyone to tears at the oscars with this really unnecessary sob-speech. unfortunately, i dont have a gold trophy to kiss, nor do i have 10 000 bucks to splurge on a dress of glitzy glamour.

did you ever have incidents happening in your life, whereby you looked at it and asked, "eh? how did it become like that?" and then when you recall why it was like that, you ask, "why did i let it become like that?" ? ok, i may be confusing some people. i guess it all comes down to reaping what you sow. a big flaw of mine is being overly-sensitive and petty, which is why when someone sort of snubbed me today, im glad i was able to look at it in a more rational way, and erase away all those ineffective thoughts that will get me nowhere, unlike when i was much younger and pretty much the spineless jerk.

and it sort of clicked, because after thinking it through, it was like, hey, didnt i used to do this too? and, if not laugh it over, at least not feeling self-piteous about it, so -- yeah~

one up for the up-and-coming emotionally mature joycie! ^^ hahax

you know a lot of pple connect pianos with the sea, like playing by the seaside. sure, it makes a very visually appealing picture, possibly romantic. but i bet actually its worse playing by the sea. firstly you have to contend with loud roaring waves and worrying if any sea gulls shit on your pristine piano keys. and secondly, there will be sea spray and sand blowing all over you while you play. so yeah, i dont think it would be too comfortable. :D


am i spoiling it for anyone? aww, that's too badd. ^^
