Sigh. It'll be Kelsey's last day in school tomorrow. Our grade gave her a farewell today. Martina was really nice and created a wonderful video with photos accumulated since Grade 8 when Kelsey came. Awesome memories, but watching the video really made me feel how it felt to be losing friends just in the blink of the eye. Like how I felt when I left Singapore; lost more friends then, but well, good things have to end somehow.
So I came to school early today and told my homeroom teacher that I need to go to the Aula (auditorium) before our grade assembly session to settle my microphone and the grand piano which I would use during my farewell speech for Kelsey. Silly teacher forgot that I'd be in the tech room and thought I had magically disappeared from the class, and he sent people to search for me high and low in school! :S He found me himself in the end - I was just sitting calmly in the tech room - and yup he realised I had informed him earlier. -.-
Well, that was the silly part of it all. I was pretty glad with my performance, having not touched the piano for 1.5 years and waking up with a stupid sore throat this morning. Sure, there were mistakes in the song I played and times where I went a bit airy/flat at the higher notes due to my weird throat. I was starting to play, and in my mind, I was telling myself, don't cry don't cry because if not I can't sing. Good I didn't cry, but so many people did - I was rather surprised! Kelsey didn't cry though... Haha, she's a strong girl. :) And a great friend.
Oh, my parents got me and my sister a piano last weekend so I had 3 nights to practise the song hard. Physics quiz was on Wednesday, and I won't care if I did badly on that quiz as I was practising harder at the piano than at thermodynamics questions. :P
Know what, I didn't really feel nervous about giving a speech or singing or playing the piano in front of my grade and teachers. I was just afraid I'd break down and cry. I sang that song at home before I left Singapore; I guess it applies again now.
All the best, Kelsey. I'll miss you. ><

Wow... okay... Long time no post. WELL BECAUSE IF MY LOVELY lITTLE SIS WANTS TO READ ABOUT MY LIFE, I SHALL! :D (And I do not care if the whole world tells me to post or not because my wonderful little sister takes the place in my heart. How sweet.)
Okay ignore the 1st paragrah. I was crapping! Anyway, today's gathering with Annette, Marian, Sarah and Evangeline was really good. But time passed so quickly! :( It only seemed a minute ago that we met and had lunch together. So anyway, we ate at macs (KAP), then went to Annette's house for some lovely Haegen Daaz ice-cream plus piano and photos... Ooh, my fingers are terribly weak after about 3 months of zero piano practice! :S But at least my scales are not too horrible yet... Oh and then we went to the exericise corner to play a it of basketball since Quianna (Annette's sister) wanted to. I am officially lousy at basketball with lousy ball sense. 10 tries, got in once. *shakes head in despair* Well everything ended so quickly... It was time to say goodbye before we knew it! I met Jiamin at the Sterling bus-stop as she wanted to pass me a farewell gift. Haha, I got 5 daisy stalks from Annette, Marian and Sarah (combined present) and a Korean gift from Evangeline with a notebook that I can only open on 26 June in the aeroplane... Oooh... mysterious indeed. I haven't opened... :D I'm a good girl.
Waited with Evangeline until her bus came. Then went home. It was so weird. I was carrying these large 5 daisy stalks and people stared. It seemed like I just visited my boyfriend or something? HAHAHA! At least, they didn't give me red roses...! Yay, my pretty daisies are sitting in a nice vase near my table so I can admire them before they wilt. When I've settled, I'll press them so that they can be preserved. :)
On 19 June it was the 3O class party aka farewell party for me. So sad, not everyone could make it. About 15 or so came? Anyway we had a great time at Eldora's house playing Guitar Hero! :D I love it so much! Haha, and I'm best at singing. :D The drums didn't sync with me. Guitar was so-so. Oh my and I ate so much at the party! :P EEEK. Wtv. Sigh.
Okay back to packing.
