Happy 27th Birthday,Clay!

Yo.
Bored.
Nothing to do.
It's 5.14pm now.
Thinking.
I had choir this morning.Early this morning.Didn't run as usual.It's been raining,ground was too wet.We might slip,fall,and die.Anyway I'm here staring at the screen.Mind's blank,don't know what to type.Typing what I'm thinking.Darn.I have someone to forgive,but don't know how.He's pretty stubborn though.Bleat.
I went to the library @ Esplanade yesterday with my sister.Our...aim was to not spend any money.See,we were allowed to borrow alot,so I did.The library had stuff mostly of multi-media,and music books.Musically-inclined people go there.I mean,who knows?It might seem so fun to them,they go there everyday.
Borrowed some old films (one videotape and some DVDs),my sister borrowed the whole first season of "XENA:The Warrior Princess" -.- Oh well.It's a teenager thing.Like me.
Today's Clay Aiken's birthday,as displayed on my MSN nickname.Every (one of his)birthday(s),I draw a picture at least one day before.On his 25th birthday,I traced out a picture of him quite carefully on tracing paper.It is kept in a safe place,where it belongs...
On his 26th birthday,I did the same:I traced out another one of his pictures,put it together with the other tracing.On his 27th birthday(which,I'm proud to say,is today)...No,no.Actually I did the drawing last night.I wanted to do something different.Tracing is like copying.It's...cheating?
I drew in my sketchbook instead.A simple,yet...stylish(?) drawing.I drew a face,only from the nosebridge down.The mouth had a microphone infront of it.If you have read my Friendster profile,you'd know that I've typed "He takes a deep breath and opens his mouth,getting ready to sing,to spread joy to the world".I totally adore my work,man.At least I'm original for once!
Oh yeah,I've been his fan for two years (and some months) now.I used to be crazy.People thought I was crazy.Maybe I was.I would play the same old song over and over,memorised all the lyrics,download all the videos.I still have my collection of "American Idol (II)" video tapes!Well okay not all of them.What I really do have are of the finale.1st part and 2nd part.Poor Clay.He knew that he was going to lose because he already saw the card that Seacrest was holding before they announced the results.He lost by less than 1% of the votes!
It's all over now.He's gotta move on,right?
All his fans will go off him one day,I'm quite sure,but what I'm sure of is that he will be respected for his heart. -Xiu =)

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day!

Ah!It will be.Maybe not tomorrow but someday =X
Went to a concert last night,let me recap.
MGS concert,called Cantabile.Held at ACS B's concert hall.
Sorta joint with the SYC though.
Miss Tham conducted the MGS for some,then for a really long song,Mr Tay conducted.He only conducted one song though.Some song about nature,I think.
His conductor's suit thingy seemed like it was too big for him lol.I guess he still looked okay.
After that,SYC sang afew songs with them,and by themselves.I saw my sis,but she didn't see me.Goodness.I was in the 3rd row,right in the middle!At least I knew Miss Tham saw me.
2nd part of the concert:SYC went upstairs to sit.MGS had a change of clothes.Drums and piano came in.Blah blah blah.I can't remember.I was so tired cos I was up at 9am yesterday,out by 10am,whole day till about 10.30pm so I was really worn out.Yea there was the flower-giving thingy too.Ms Tham and Mr Tay both got some gifts and a bunch of flowers each.Then it was The End.I called my sis and met up with her,saw Ady on the way out LOL.He looked a lil' different.Was too tired to notice much.Met with my sis and we went to Waffletown to have some food [double scoop ice-cream waffle(choc and strawberry),large ice milo,6 chicken wings] then we went home after that by MRT.Soooo very tired.At least I was happy.Don't know why,but I was happy.My day went like this: Morning:woke at 9am.Got ready for choir practice @ Stamford Arts Centre (thats in Bugis).Left house at 10am,took the MRT to Bugis,met up with some choir people and walked to SAC.Waited some time with the others before Mr Tay came along with the keys.We had to bring along our concert wear yesterday to show Ms Tham.So we were discussing that,while waiting for the door to be unlocked.Finally it was,and we got warming up and all that,didn't do much warming up before we started singing but it was fine.We got warmed up (literally) anyway.Few adults from the SLO adult's chorus came to join in "Tomorrow shall be my dancing day".Sounded great,actually.We finally got it.Well,sorta.I got hooked on it,sang it for the WHOLE day,making people irritated.It's a lovely song.Anyway after choir I went to have lunch by myself at Long John Silver's in Bugis.It started to rain but I was safe in there.So I took my time eating my lunch.This lady at the table opposite mine kept smiling at me.Freaky,I tell you.After lunch I went up to Kinokuiya to read.Got new books there but no money to buy lol.After reading went to Orchard to meet Gervin,walked around Popular,then went to meet Nisha.Shared Famous Amos cookies,went into Fox (Men) cos I wanted to see the model's picture.LOL!He's quite cute.
Went to have dinner with Gerv and Nisha.Got tired.Made our way to Newton MRT station.Met up with some people.Sam and I walked to Waffletown,she said she was hungry and wanted to buy something.We ended up walking out again and went into 7-eleven instead.She bought an ice-cream,asked for directions to ACS B while I called Gerv using her phone telling them that they should just go on their own cos we're opposite the school already.We walked.
Went to some place overlooking the swimming pool.Lotsa kids swimming.Couldn't see who was who so gave up and walked towards the concert hall and waited there till the doors opened and walked to the front and sat down,waiting for the concert to begin. -Xiu =)

I'll make a wish for you

Yoyoyo.
I'm writing this after a looong day.Day started out with my sister waking me and asking if I touched her phone.She was grumpy cos the alarm was on snooze and she overslept.She was late by 2 hours,I think.Mom told me.Anyway after that I went back to sleep,only woke up around maybe...12?Yeah.Mom was so excited about spending the day in Suntec City.She didn't end up buying anything.We went anyway.First for lunch all the way in Bukit Timah.It was a decent meal with chicken rice,fried kai lan with garlic,chicken,fish curry,and some soup that always comes with chicken rice.Forced dad to eat more.After that we drove my brother back to his camp.I was looking at the motto "Together as one". -.-
We drove off to Bishan where mom and I were dropped off.We went looking around Junction 8,then taking the MRT to City Hall.Went to Raffles City,there was this Batman show on.Ick.You know that kind.The mom tells the kid "There!Thats Batman!"And the kid cheers loudly,"BATMAN!BATMAN!"
It was totally lame.I was there,I know.Just passing by though.Looked around,then went out into the open and walked to Marina Square.We took a look there.I need clothes for my performance.I don't want to look like some old person on stage!Ohmy goodness.No thanks,mom.Man,you should've seen her picking out the clothes.I almost died!Thank goodness she didn't buy anything.We saw this nice skirt,perfect for my performance,but she said no.Sigh.Why can't she understand that we both have different tastes.You should see her selections.Really.She walks into those shops.I remembered seeing those old people looking at her-style clothes,speaking Hokkien and having totally out-of-shape figures.I mean it!Come shopping with me one day and I'll show you which shop it is!Anyway I treated us to dessert at Han's.I had some chocolate cake and a soup-of-the-day and she had a chicken pie with a coffee.I hate coffee.
I thought of taking away some Long John Silver's to eat on the way to Suntec City but didn't anyway.We walked to Suntec,stopping by at Levi's.When we finally got to Suntec City,we passed by the tour booth,you know,that one with all the Duck Tour and Hippo Tour things.Goodness,I can't believe that I'm actually going for one of those on Dec 3rd.We walked,and we walked,and we walked.I saw the newly-opened Ben & Jerry's!I so love Ben & Jerry's ice-cream.I wanted to buy some,but having already bought some sushi and Baby Dutch Edam cheese (individually packed!),I decided not to.We went over to some Delight eating place,with the stand-around tables to eat our food.Mom bought an ice lemon tea.She said it tasted funny.After eating my sushi,I saw an interesting selection...Of food on sticks.It's Japanese food,see,and there were these cute little scallops (dead,of course,and boiled) and wanted to try some,so I bought a stick.They added some sauce to it which I thought tasted too...salty.I liked the scallops though.They looked like shellfish on a stick,which they are.Tasted just like the kind you find in restaurants.After that,went home,had a bath,and here I am now.I haven't had my dinner yet,don't know if I am.Maybe I'll have something later.I shall go have my cheese!Bye now! Luv,Xiu =)

Anyway I'm gonna really miss all my teachers...Well only some -.-" Because total-some=the rest.The rest will still be teaching me next year,worst luck,because I totally dislike that subject.Lol.Mmm I'm getting my Omega-3s now.I sure hope that I'll be able to survive Sec 3.Sigh.Argh!Kathleen and Gervin get to do CHEMISTRY and BIO!Well I get to do bio too but not chem.No fair.But not much point anyway.Only Express people get to take it -.-"
Oh man.Bye teachers,I'll miss ya'll soooo much.Shall end here.Tata! -Xiulin =)

So much to say goes unspoken.

Hey,its me again.
Another day.
Went to sell food in school this morning (fund raising)...After that,went to the Singapore Polo Club to see horses lol.Touched horses,smelt horses,watched them have baths,and so on.We saw lotsa cats there too,wonder why?
Anyway so I'm back home now,having my lunch.Mmm,jiaozi.
I'm bored.I shall game later.Not going for food selling tomorrow,so what will I do?Maybe I should go to a gym?No one to go with?Sigh.I need to get a life.
Maybe I should go out on my own?It's not so bad,you know.Kinda peaceful.Nobody to keep telling me "I need to buy my Zara skirt!" -.- Thats just lame,right.I guess tomorrow for me will be gaming all day.Aw man got a form for the Choir Olympics thing,I need to pay a deposit of 50 dollars first.The total sum of it all is...close to 2000 dollars!I'm gonna be soooo broke,I tell you.But you know,its gonna be just like the Hawaii trip,just that this one's in China.Xiamen,was it?Gonna meet people from all over the world,just that this time,they all sing,unlike the Hawaii trip people,whom some played in an orchestra or something.Hahaha.Excitedddd.Oh well.I just finished my lunch,so I guess I shall end here.See yuh! -Xiu =)

W.W.C.D.?

What Would Clay Do?
Dunno.Sing?
S'me again.Boring afternoon,sis is at choir.Today was very very tiring,although its only 4.21pm.This morning,I woke up early..blah blah blah,went for choir practice with some SLO thing.Don't know,but it was kinda fun.Learnt two new songs.Christmas carols,just not the usual ones.The girls were mostly from my choir.Few other girls are from ? I have no idea where.They just came,and we sang.So yeah.After that,sis came to pick me up.She felt like such a star,I tell you.My friends totally worship her?We went off at last,walked to Raffles Hotel so that she could try her new choir gown thing.Wilson was already there.Aw man,the new choir gown looks like..looks like.Well she looked like some indian warrior when she put it on alright.You just have to see for yourself.Go watch them in concert!After they (finally) finished trying on the gowns,we went for lunch.Well see,on the way to Raffles Hotel,we were greeted by the stong smell of fried chicken wings,so after that we felt like having some.We walked downstairs...Past some branded shops and high class cafes...Crossed the street and came to a chicken rice stall -.-" Now,there wasn't much time to spare,so we just ate there.There were fried chicken wings!LOL!Oh well,its bad for me but I ate it anyway.We ordered a set for three people,which was alot really.Thank goodness he can eat alot... =P He saw his (old) teacher there..they chatted..and chatted..and chatted.Finally,she went off anyway and he continued eating.LOL!
So after that Kok Leong came along.He almost walked past us -.-" Talked.Talked.Talked some more.And then..BOOM!Okok not boom.We were talking about people singing for 3 hours every night and pianists playing for 10 hours everyday..and then getting backaches.Bahahahha.Whatever man!Ah,so after that both of them went back to Raffles Hotel for fitting,my sis walked me halfway to Raffles City.Sis went back to Waterloo Street,I went back home.Poor Miss Tham -.- She has to go from one choir to another.It's tiring enough just attending the practices.Imagine conducting them!Ah!But it is good money.LOL.
Shh,I didn't say that =X PRETEND!I'm going to game now.See yuh people!-Xiu.
