Hellos! I am back again, this should be the post whereby i would go missing for awhile after posting. Why? I would be going to Japan in TWO days time! WOOT, a dream came true! Too bad that it's not during the winter season when I reached there, i wanted to see snowflakes, snows and stuff. But still- I am going to Japan, I am going to Japan, I AM going to Japan...(starts to chant).
I am sure that it would be fun(duh), there would have exchange programmes; will be visiting at least 3 highschools! I just hope i would be able to understand them and that i would not offend them in ways- intentionally or not. There would be homestays too! We would be homestaying at rural places away from the cities where the teacher would just leave us to the owner of the house alone. It's somehow scary- staying at a place where you don't know anyone else there. BUt still, there is a possibility where i would get to sleep in a FUTON! YES!
One thing i destest about going there are the bath-houses. Especially public ones. One have to be totally naked before stepping in the ROOM, then into the warm water. Which helps in relaxing the nerves also, It also promotes a healthier lifestyle and that it's good for people with medical problems. Still, i hate it- especially the N part.
The people who are going to Japan were specifically told to have a present done for their care-givers in Japan. I did something- but i am sure it won't be really pleasant. Especially if the person who is going to take care of me, is a plain old geezer. (Opps, positive thoughts, young adults, young adults...).
I just hope i won't screw up this trip, and yea, not to screw it up! That's all i guess :)

Choir responsibilities and cat problems
I thought i was going to have 100% fun in choir today, but sadly, it only reached 60% of fun. Why? Firstly, the attendance. It's REAL bad. No kidding- 16/30+; i guess everyone's in their holiday mode now. Next, I was given THREE choir projects. One being planning of the camp, next is the Orientation(sec 1) and lastly SYF. Which also meant that i would have MORE responsibilities! The proporsal for the planning of the camp is to be given on friday. Waa, only short time to prepare. To be happy or not? Obviously not! -roll eyes-.
And oh, I kind of hate cats now. Not that i really like them before(neutral), but the recent incidents nearby my house regarding them, make me despise them. The cats in my neighbourhood are getting annoying due to some inconsiderate brainless people who have been feeding them food since forever came to a stop. And because of that, the cats in my neighbourhood became lazy, losing the ability to find food for themselves. Their also lost their ability to adapt, causing inconvenience to all. Especially to people who lived in the 3rd storeys like ME.
There have been alot of constant cat whining/screaming noises recently. They are marking territories in my storey and i believed other places too. From the moment the sky turns black till morning, there would have alot of cat fights right outside MY house, a room away from me. Really annoying, noisy and all. Not that I sleep at nights though, but they disrupted my peaceful READING time! GOD, i used to have complete slience, or some soft background music(classical) to read. Now, i have to deal with this, noises from the cat. GEez.
Another thing, because they "marked" their territories in my storey, they also started pooping and stuff. Making the place real stinking. I used to climb my stairs down to school. Now, i have to think twice before doing so, the stench there is too unbearable! It's worst than the huge garbage bin every block has! EEw, think about that!
Lastly, the cats, which make them real irritating is that, they come into MY house for food if they cannot find it themselves. They would come in, and meow meow- usually i find them to be cute and all, now? One meow from them, a broom would be sweeping their butts out of the house. My mum said that the cats even pee in my house- Geez, talk about manners. Now, my parents had taken precautions so cats would not be able to have access to my house. Haha good for them! Hope they rot to death! I know i am mean by saying that- but once you get into the same sitaution as me, i believed that you would say the same things. Anyway see ya now :)

Feelings for the World Youth Choral Festival.
Well, i know that it is ridiculous posting twice a day, but i wanted to do it. The excitment is killing me! I have been elected(long ago, but not knowing how significant the event is) by the teachers with threee other peers to attend this World Youth Choral Festival(WYCF)! Well the word infront, "world", depicts that it would be a major event! Choirs from all around singapore would have to elect 4 to join this event. Making the number of participants to reached more than 270! And choirs from other countries like India, China would be coming to perform in the WYCF too, we would be sharing the stage with them! WOO!.Also, renowned conductors from USA, Singapore, UK and Finland would be conducting us! Once in a lifetime chance, YES! -flys over the moon-
The entire choir formed would be split into 2 different groups- SSA and SATB. 2 of my friends had to go for SSA while 1(my jie:D) with me went for the SATB. Whereby we had to learn 5 different sets of songs for both SSA and SATB. Also, there would be a combined choir at the end, where we need to learn 5 more songs. So it would be very tiring. Sadly to say this though(i pity myself)that i had to learn 12 chime songs! Something our school choir hardly does. The titles of the songs are as follows:
1) Theme song with SNYO
For SSA : SATB
2) Ah, dolente partita : My heart is inditing
3) DerWassermamn : Ombra Mai Fu
4) Mieli : Lebenslust
5) Suite de Lorca : Der Gang Zum Liebchan
6)The Joiku : Everlasting song
Combined choir
7) Morning tide from island songs
8) The North Wind and the Sun(Aesop's Fables)
9) The Goose and the Swan (Aesop's Fables)
10) Waltzing Matilda (Jazz Folksong)
11) Lay a Garland
12) Theme song(accapella)
If you would notice, almost half of them aren't in english. Which makes it really hard to memorize them. Damn the lyricist! Just hope i could get pass without much embarassment. I mean, I AM going to sing with the elites from EVERY schools in singapore which includes the gold-in-honours choir- those with good vocals, disciplines, singing techniques, able to sightread, play musical instruments and all sorts of stuffs! Damn, i feel sooo inferior now! Better start revising my music!
And oh, i only knew that this event is really damn major when i knew about the conductors. Hell, they are sooo famous that they have their very own websites! Now, how cool can that be! Famous instructors, teaching us. GOD i love this life! :D
The 4 main conductors are, Lim Yau(singapore), Bob Chilcott(UK), Eugene Rogers(USA), Kari Turunen(Finland). Go yahoo or google their names, and i guarantee that you can see websites about them everywhere!
Lim Yau would be the one conducting for the Opening ceremony for the WYCF.
Bob Chilcott would be conducting for the Combined festival Choir.
Eugenge Rogers would be conducting for the SATB choir.
And Kari Turunen would be conducting SSA choir.
There are a few more minor ones, but i believe they weren't really much mentioning, i know i am mean by doing that, but, no one cares right? Anyway, the event as in when the Pre-festival camp starts to the end of whole event would be from 1st december to 13th december. Try to imagine this, to learn 12 songs in that limited amount of time! Is it even possible? Well, we are to go lyk from morning to night for days with pratices so yea. Homeworks are to be done with care, or i am sure i would be left out- so embarassing.
IT is honourable, for me to be in this festival- being the most active participants, or so they have said(hope they are not lying), and that we don't have to pay fees to join. For other individuals, a sum of $200 are needed, to be included in the whole process, but they are not to go on stage. It is by the choirs afteall! And since this would be a huge major event, i think that the chance of being aired on television would be quite high! NOO. lol.
Damn, still excited about the whole thing after writing this lot, hope you guys don't fall asleep, or stop reading. See ya :)

Sa2 resuts
Today,I am going to post about how i feel for my SA2 exam results! First of all, just want to apologize if you find it offensive; it's my point of view afterall. So, the moment you felt insulted, you can stop reading. I can understand...NOT :).
At one look, you would find that my results are really damn lousy and said that i would need to work EXTRA harder by alot. But, if you compared mine with the others, it isn't really sooo bad at all. It's just average, plain average- not above or below. Which i would say, really isn't a good nor bad thing at all.
The thing that i am most shocked of, was my english result. I never expect myself to fail paper 2, what's more, really badly. No wonder i had this weird negative feeling inside me the day before i received the paper. I went into this depression mood on the day itself; not able to read any fanfictions- just chatting over the internet. Call it the heng's depression if you would.
I am particularly proud of my chemistry and physics results; since i am the minorities who passed them(50% though). NOt that i really study much for it- and those questions i study were all wrong, so yea- extra proud. But still, the top scorers in the class were way high above me, while the failures were below. Making me the average guy once again.
Next that i am proud of is my E math results. I did extremely well for paper 1, but paper 2 totally pull down my marks. Making me an A2. Kinda sad, isn't it? Hahas, no worries- i am fine with it. It's still an A! I would be lying if i said that for your info.
Humanities wise, i can't really say much about it. Even though i did crap for history, i did well for social studies thus balancing the overall marks. I had to say i am really dissapointed with my history results- damn the munich pact! There's nothing i could do about it, right?
The last one would be my chinese results. God knows why i passed it. It's a miracle and guess what? I just saw a cow flying over the moon. Believe me and i would say that your extremely smart. But not as smart as me that's for sure :P
Anyway, in my previous post, i was saying that I was hoping for the results to spike me up with the fiery passion to study. But i guess it didn't really happen. Still the same old me i guess, excluding the heng's depression for one day(no one could ever resist fanfics for sooo long). But yar, overall, i can't really say i am happy with my results, neither could i say that i am sad for my results. It just came and i accept it. No need to wonder why for me, cause i know the reason myself; i did not put in any effort so no sense of statisfaction. Anyway, see ya people :)

Hi guys i am back!
Okay, i shall not hide in one darkly-lighted corner, instead i would stand out proud(:P) just beneath the spotlight and await for my punishment due to my inability aka laziness to post for a long duration of time. So, hit me, throw things at me, insult me, blah blah blah while you have the chance. (Not that it would make things any better or worst). Surprise, surpise, the first thing i did when i get back to this blog, was to re-read my previous posts. In the process, i found out that my posts are long. Not THAT long, but yea, just long- compared to the other's that is. Is that suppose to be a good news? I hope not, i don't want to get sick of alphabets.
There's nothing to write about, except for the agnony during the exams of not being able to chat/play with fiends and stuff as most of them were busy studying. Irritating yet peaceful- A weird combination i would say. For some weird reason, i am anticipating my results- not that i really study much, but still, i want to know where i stand. Perhaps if i am at the bottom of the class list,i would have some sort of fiery motivation burning inside me? I hope so, O'levels are coming in due time. Despite all the teachers blabberings about "Have to study for O'lvels NOW, or you will regret it!" and stuff, i don't really care. Why? I never regretted not studying much for exams before. So, i don't feel pressure much. Naughty me, i know.
A few days ago, one of my friends, presented me with a website where you get to read fictional creepy stories. I only read up to halfway down the page before halting my reading process as i was freaked out real badly. Guess what? For the next few days, i had this paranoid visions of things beside me, looking at me and such. I know that it is not true, they are not there, but i just can't help myself but to shiver when breezes brush against my sensitive skin. Are they there?
Oh well, i am getting rid of the "today's topic" section. took too much time away from me, but i would just pop them out when i feel lyk writing them, so yea. See ya ppl :)
