Had to go for band practice today from 9am till 6pm. Man, this is pure madness.
I just don't know how I overcame this torture... It must be the power of love, lol.
Well, I managed to learn alomost the whole of B flat scale, excluding some sharps and flats.
There was a period of time where ALL my seniors had to go for lessons, and I was alone there.
It took me only sometime to catch up with the rest without my senors. And I'm proud to say that I finally did it! Whoopee!
In the afternoon, we had sectionals, with all my seniors back. During this time, we tried all the difficult parts in the pieces. Well, it was scary to have 3 seniors staring at you the same time. Plus, one of my seniors, who was the only other one blowing the B flat tenor sax, had difficulties blowing some of the parts. I daresay I did well for a Sec1 member. Hey, it's my first time associating with music so closely. Anyway, before we went home, we had to run a few rounds around the school. I even borrowed my saxophone home. PRACTISE! PRACTISE! PRACTISE!
I just read a book which I had bought it a long time ago... It's " The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter. "
Inside, there's a lot info on the books from Philosopher's Stone till Goblet of Fire.
Here are two riddles I found from this book and the Goblet of Fire. Take your time to guess. It's really simple. Just don't rack your brains too much.

What animal goes on four feet in
the morning,
Two at noon,
And three in the evening?

First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of the middle and the end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?

Anyway, take your own time to figure it out, though I took only about a minute which. It's very simple! I'm too tired to type anymore, so this post ends here. Good holiday ahead!


絆 Kizuna by Kamenashi Kazuya (KAT-TUN)

Saki no koto dore hodo ni kan gaete itemo
hontou no koto nante dare ni mo mienai
kuuhaku? kokoro ni nanika ga tsumatte
ayamachi bakari kuri kaeshiteta

ippo zutsu de iisa kono te wo hanasazuni
tomo ni ayunda hibi ga iki tsuzuketeru kara
boroboro ni narumade hikisakarete itemo
ano toki no ano basho kienai kono kizuna

nagare yuku toki no naka ushina wanu youni
su re chigai butsu katta hontou no kimochi
kokoro ni shimiteku aitsu no omoi ni
deaeta koto ga motometa kiseki

tachi domaru koto sae dekinai kurushisa no
naka ni mieta hikari tsunagatte iru kara
usotsui tatte iisa namida nagashite iikara
ano toki no ano basho kienai kono kizuna

ippo zutsu de iisa kono te wo hanasazuni
tomo ni ayunda hibi ga iki tsuzuketeru kara
boroboro ni narumade hikisakarete itemo
ano toki no ano basho kienai kono kizuna

Here are the answers:
1. Man / Human. [Whatever]
Man creeps on hands and knees in childood [or rather, as an infant], walks upright in adulthood, and in old age uses a cane. Hence, it is Man.
2. A spider.
A person in disguise and tells naught but lies: A spy or an imposter.
A sound often heard in search of a hard-to-find word.: "Er."
Join them up together and you get "spiDer." Note that 'D' is pronounced as 'the' in 'middle'.
Get it now? Simple, isn't it? Anyways, I may post more riddles if I could find some. Good night!

Finally went to visit my granddad yesterday... Well, he's been calling us, as in the kids, different names... Guess he's got real bad memory now...
Thought I was someone else... Lol...
Talked about school with my cousin, Teresa... She had problems with her homework and I had to help...
Maybe she's coming over on next Tues, I guess. Heard that my other cousin, who's in Sec4 now, got 1st in class for scoring as low as 30/100 for his paper! OMG, I could easily beat that, I guess. After all, I won all the cousins on my maternal side in PSLE. As for the paternal side, I think I lost to only one, who was gifted... Which meant that you can't blame me for it, I'm NOT gifted. Failed the second round of the gifted test in 2003, though I thought English was a breeze. Guess it was Maths which pulled me down.
Anyways, bought a NEW GAME! WOOTS! It's the Sims2 expansion pack, NightLife. Been wanting it for ages... Hope to get Pets and UniversityLife too. Can someone get that for my birthday? Please? I haven't got a single present this year, nor the past years... But Le-yi bought me something as a comfort... Thanks, I love you Le-yi!
Went to watch the latest movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End yesterday too, at Bugis Junction. Well, I didn't expect to anyways, as I had planned to watch it with Ashley on Friday, but this messed up my plans... So sorry, Ash, I can't go now...
It was amazing! Loved the effects of their fights... Of course, and the famous line by Chow YunFat/SaoFeng, "Welcome to Singapore." Haha, good advertising for the Tourism Board. Gonna see the first 2 movies, since I missed it all. Like Ash and the rest, who went to watched Deathnote2 before watching the first one. I was the only among all who had actually watched the first one first... Hence, everything that happened was predictable. Raito, doushite shindandayo?! Eru [L] wa akuma ka? Kimi no me no naka de, Eru wa tenshi nanoka? [nanoda...]
That last line in the brackets was usually said by Ryuichi, a trademark of his. He's a character in Gravitation, voice by Yamaguchi Kappei, who voiced Inuyasha, Shinpachi [Peacemaker] and Usopp [One Piece] and many others... He's so cute!!!!!!!
Had to go back to school to get my report book today... What a chore, can't they return us early? Anyway, I think my results is satisfactory, but what I really want was to get 1st, which seemed dim to me. That was one of the reasons I went to Fuhua. However, I got 2nd in class...
Here's an extract of the report:
Total: 538.0/700 Class Position: 2/41
Percentage: 76.9 Conduct: Very Good
Comments: Dulcia is a confident and highly motivated pupil who is hardworking. She is meticulous and produces work of high quality. She has an enquiring mind and contributes actively during class discussions. She puts in effort and strives to excel. She has performed well. Keep up the good work!.......
There... Weird, isn't it? Definitely not by Ms Yau's hand, she won't write with such good English and besides, she HATES me. [I guess, she doesn't seem to like me, unlike the rest of the teachers...] Well, I was pleased that I got 2nd, but do hope to get 1st by the end of the year...
Alas, the future is but dim... Good luck for everyone and congrats to those who did well also.
Wonder what she got? That person which I hated so much that my blood would boil whenever ChingYee and XiuYi mentioned her nowadays... So what if she changed? First impressions counts a lot, and the one she gave me ain't a good one. Well, you might know who she is now...
Well, there maybe a mini celebration later on, by my most enthusiastic dad who got to know my results. Guess it's just some food... Lol...
I so gonna go play my new game, byes~! WOOTS!

Had to reach school by 7.2oam today. Crap.
However, we get to wear our home attire! I wore I.P.Zone's jeans n shirt, they are my favourites... Haha...
Anyway, we didn't have much of a party today. Not everyone, including me, had the initiative to get stuff. Hence, Mr Ong had to fork out $20 or so for the whole class. Love this teacher though.
We ALMOST watch the korean show, 100 days with Mr. Arrogant, a real funny show. Haiz...
Well, I borrowed another book today, apart from yesterday's Black Lotus. It's called, The Literary Book of Answers... By Carol Bolt. It was so much fun!
First, think of an closed-ended question, meaning, a yes-no question. Then visualise it or say it out while placing a hand on the cover of the book. Stroke the edge of the pages from back to fro. When you think the time is right, open the book, any page will do. Your answer is there.
Well, we had a ball of a time playing with the book yesterday. AikSeng, Nicole, PeiXuan, XiuYi, ChingYee, HuiChoo, many others and even Mr Lim, who showed it to 4E2/3(I think) to see. I didn't borrowed the book then, for I thought someone else had borrowed it, which she didn't.
Hence, I borrowed it. FUN!..................
Had assembly today, dunno for what purpose. We just saw a clip on water safety, had a prize ceremony for previous year's achivements and a long stupid talk by a few teachers. Then, it's home sweet home!
Still writing the 3rd fanfic, currently concentrating on that only. Had an inspiration while watching the clip. For the fourth fanfic, or maybe I will add it into either the 2nd or 3rd fanfic, both on Gravitation... Ganbarimasu!

Okay, got to know our results and combined score for the mid-year exams...
Eng: 63.7 [B3]
HCL: 80 [A1]
Maths: 81.2 [A1]
Sci: 73.8 [A2]
Hist: 72 [A2]
HomEcon: 84 [A1]
Art: 79.2 [A1]
There... I think I did quite well though, but I have the 'potential' to improve to 3 more A1s...
Anyway, try harder! Watched 3 shows today: Prince of Eygpt, Totoro and Drumline[?]...
We played together with the main band today, and it was scary.
Well, I managed to keep up with the warm-up... and some parts after...
But when it comes to scores, I was sooo dead...
I couldn't read it at well, needing time to think about it. Plus, I mixed up the fingerings too.
Didn't know how to do sharps and flats... haiz! And here I thought it was ok as I blow the recorder quite well... Well, fingerings are similar...
Was really tired after practice. My right thumb was 'black' again... The other hand was red and sore... But I really enjoyed doing this. Wonder if I can practice as well at home though. We can't bring the instruments home for they have 'stock-taking'. Well, it's done by the CO tcher i/c.
Guess it's Ms Yau then... lol...
Really tired today... So I won't be blogging anymore. Goodnight.

[A double post today! Reporting on both Mon and Tue.]
Mon:
Yay! After a long break, we finally went for band... And I'm hyper!
Well, today, we had a ultra tired day after pe...
I did 30 sit-ups and gave up after that, got a 'B' by the way... Just 1 more till 'A'!
Then, we had our sit-and-reach part... I only got 42cm!
Last year, I did 28 sit-ups and got 47cm, but there's a slight improvement for sit-ups,
but definitely not for sit-and-reach... Wonder what had happened?
Anyway, I was extremely tired after that, and had aching muscles too...
When I went for band, I knew I was into trouble.
My stomache muscle ached alot, even my right arm's too...
I had a few hours of coaching by our beloved senior, and we went home.
My right thumb was partially 'black', and my left thumb and index finger were red and sore...
I could play an old lady with those trembling hands! Hey, my instrument is wayyyy heavy than those Sec1 guys in my section. Besides, I'm the only Sec1 girl there... Haiz...

Tues:
Well, Ms Yau came back to school today. Lots of little 'red dots' were seen on her face...
Looks like she is really down with chicken pox... Anyway, got to know our results for the combined one already. I don't remember the score, nor did I copy them down, only grades.
Eng: B3
HCL: A1
Maths: A1
Sci: A2
His: A2
HomEcon: A1
Art: A1
There's a slight improvement for Eng and History... Was totally thrilled to see that I got A1 for HomEcon and Art!... HOOTS!
I'm depressed about HCL, Sci and Eng, plus His. Didn't get A1 for these subjects. Dropped from A1 till A2 for Sci, how bad could that be? Especially HCL, didn't get highest all because of my compos! Argh! I'm supposed to be good in it... For Eng too...
My muscles ached alot today, possibly worse than yesterday, since I woke up...
I wasn't even hyper today, sleepy, in fact. Maybe because I slept at 12am last night, haha...

PS: Due to my obsession with Ultraman Tiga again, I may not update anything at all... Haha...
I know it's childish, but I really love it. Been watching it since 5... A real deep passion for it, as you could say... Nevertheless, two new fanfics are along the way, just wait for the storks!

Finally went shopping after a long period of examinations...
Only yesterday though.
We went to Liang Court for the Audio House offer... only to find out that it is only available if you guessed the first digit of the 1st prize of 4D on Wed... I think.
Nevertheless, bought a new TV, dunno whether plasma or LCD...
I ate my first curry rice set! It's official now!
The set's called hitoguchi hire katsu curry rice... Long eh? Love it...
Just changed my blogskin today, finally found where to edit after a long time...
Whoopee!

About my results...
Well, I did fairly well this time, shown slight improvement...
But some were a disappointment.
It's not official yet, but the heck to it...
Eng: 72.5/100 [A2]
Maths: Pt 1-40/50, Pt 2-46/50. 86/1oo [A1]
Sci: 68/100 [B3]
HCL: 135/180 [A1]
History: 52/75 [B3]
IT'S NOT OFFICIAL... Gonna take report book first though.
Anyway, it's late now, for I have school & band tomorrow... Yay.

PS: Writing 2 new fanfics now. Both on Gravitation. One has lemon in it, and about something else while the other is just about a misunderstanding between them, leading to a regret. It's my 2nd n 3rd attempt at it and first on Gravitation. Do look forward to it. Just a note though, it might be against your beliefs. Check Wikipedia for info on this anime FIRST.

It's Labor Day! Erm, yay, a free holiday?
Man, days passed boringly nowadays...
And guess what, it's exams, exams, exams...
Wanted to watch Spiderman 3 today, but tickets were sold out, so...

Heard lots of gossip about my class these few days...
Especially about Eugene...
My friends told me lots of negative comments about him... Made me wonder if he's wearing a mask in front of us or just him, the other side he doesn't portray...
i wonder if it's true...
