I love the rain, or rather the really light drizzle(:
it hasn't rained for a really really long time! i love the cool weather when it rains:D
Econsssss, eek. we aren't really sure what's tested, there seems (all of a sudden!) that there's so much to study. And next week is blocks already.. heh my hope for an extended holiday was crushed :(
So my parents and siblings are coming back tonight, whooo :) have had a few boring days at home already. hahah. not that accompanying my grandparents isn't fun, its just that I get really bored without people to annoy or people annoying me xD hmmm brought my grandparents to the jap restaurant at Cathay yest night (haha yea that's how much I don't mind having Jap food!) super super fulll. realised my grandma and I like the same kind of sushi (:
okay I'm considering changing to livejournal, its so much prettier there hahah.
kay June holidays are going to be over in a matter of a few days, heh i haven't accomplished a lot / gone out enough yet. I can't wait for holidays at the end of the year, like, true blue holidays.
20090622
music (:
Gershwin is super cooool. the clarinet solo at the beginning of rhapsody in blue (orchestral) is super super cool as well, the gliss which sadly I can never perfect. And Pictures at an exhibition by Mussorgsky, funny how I've always heard of it but never listened to the recording before. but its a good piece:D Tchaikovsky's dance of the sugar plum fairy! (: i'm starting to like Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance as well, partly cos we're playing it in snys also. hahah but there wont be combined for quite long i think... until after the chamber concert ):
I never thought I'd be so bored without anybody annoying me, ha ha.
today was/is a boring day, its so strange not having people around me. haha my siblings especialllly. Okay now I really wonder how I'll be like if I were an only child, haha I think I'd be really really bored. Or maybe I'd already have been accustomed to it since young. hahah but I think I really wouldn't enjoy it! I'm already having trouble living through two days without my siblings already.. goodness.
I think.. I should listen to an orchestra and go out for a concert, I haven't been to one in ages. Its strange how I didn't even manage to go for a single concert through the arts festival. Sistic doesn't show anything .. Appealing though :/
okay I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored.
20090621
My parents and siblings are on vacation and I'm feeling rly lonely with my grandparents haha. Its only when they go overseas that I realise I start to miss them, and it has only been one day. hahah i'm glad they're coming back on wednesday ((:
Today was a pretty productive day!(: father's day = more nice food for lunch haha. mm i felt quite bored and lonely thoughhhh cos there isn't anyone to fight with me, or irritate me.. goodness I can't believe I actually miss that! luckily they're only going away for a really short holiday, if not i'd be damn boredddd hahah.
kay I cant wait for blocks to be overrrrr I need to play:D

I hope my grandparents enjoyed the lunch.. haha. Since western food isn't really their cup of tea... haha. I'm sure my grandma enjoyed the pork ribs though ((: Shopped around a bit after that, before going to school haha. by the time I got there they were doing marching already hahaha. It was quite funny looking at quin lorraine val and ziyan trying to play jalan jalan as they were marching haha. mmm went for clarinet lesson afters, before going to Marina Square for section JTS!(: Changing appetites had pretty good, interesting food :D tried the mudpie as well! haha. I hope everyone enjoyed JTS:D we shd have a section outing sometime soon.. haha(:

back frm dinner with Ms. Teng and Kexin!(: hehh the jap restaurant was quite cool, like using ice cream sticks to order our food, hahaha. we were so fascinated by the system goodnesss. but there was a lot of food, it makes you feel like just ordering everything! Sushi was quite good :D nice dessert as well, macha ice cream with waffle! :D:D had a nice time talking as well, and remembering imc((: whoa after talking to kexin abt IMC I really really miss the times thereeeee. like when we'd be in the staff lounge, and then Kexin would call her mum and talk and talk, and by then I'd be out of the phone booth already and counting down with Ms. Teng when Kexin would come out HAHA. and all the practicing in Burdick Hall and stuff, IMC Food ...lotslotslots. whoo given a chance I'd definitely want to go back again, even if it'd be really different. the environment is just so natural and tranquil (:
okay I've been eating a lot hahaha. I went out to run yesterday night though, partly cos I felt really tired and partly cos I felt really guilty for eating so much during the holidays hahaha. but i walked more than I ran, cos of my brother, who stopped every now and then to tie his shoelaces, do some random thing etc etc. but still it was good to run (:
tmrrrrr, more eating, nycb, JTS! (: can't wait :D:D
20090617
I am very bored D: grahhhh.
I need to go out, it helps that I'm meeting Ms. Teng & Kexin for dinner tomorrow at the jap restaurant that always advertises its 99cent sushi, at Cathay. haha its so fast, about a year since IMC already!(: imc was really a whole lot of fun.. the surroundings were so surreal, it makes me feel like I'm off the world already, or maybe that's just cos I live in Singapore. I remember the super long food queues, our dorm, the dorm which ms. teng thought was a wardrobe initially HAHA, practicing with Colin Clarke!!, our walk to the Peace Garden, taking photos, the retarded jump shot, flowerpose beside the flowers, my goodnesss all the masterclasses and sectionals and individual lessons... the instructors really helped a lot! hahah i wonder who are the two lucky ones who get to go again this year! It was a really fulfilling experience. And I really enjoyed it.. especially the times we'd slack in the staff lounge as well, which was mostly out of bounds to the rest of the students... And we'd go back to the dorm late, with an explanation that we were seeing our teachers when actually we were munching on Chinese foood! (which we dearly missed), or playing Monopoly or taboo with themmm lol. I miss the time at IMC ... Really wish I could go back again!
Friday's section JTS! Father's day lunch with family as well(: Hahah I THINK I'M GROWING FAT, with minimal exercise the holidays and lots of eating outtttt ): Friday I'll be eating out, TWICE?! wts, I need to play Vball, like HAHA REALLY PLAY, not just pick balls or hear people shouting my name all the timeeee Hahaha.
And I hope I'll be able to make time to visit nycb this friday, I miss holiday pracs and lunching at Coro/ Curry wok/ KAP and going back for band after that. hehhh thinking abt it, i haven't had holiday pracs for a long while.
AND, I need a vacation too! I really really hope the flu strain goes away soon, or the vaccine is manufactured and developed really soon. I am getting really paranoid hahah.

how appropriate:
"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person."
20090612
So many things this week, I've been sleeping past 12 consecutively for many days already hahah i think i should be sleeping soon.
hmmm firstly, Band outing!(: on tuesday. went early in the morning cos we were supposed to be facils.. ended up playing Vball and talked and did random stuff, before going into hiding at Subway with zongxian to wait for people to come.. in the end the games initially planned were cancelled cos there werent enough people to play. haha but we still played some of the games within ourselves! cycled.. HAHA. attempt to teach me cycling failed.. but I really do want to learn cycling. Cycled in tandem with guanteng, which was initially pretty scary! Because I didn't know went to start cycling and all, and especially the getting up the bicycle part hahah. But it was fun and relaxing (: BBQed at night, played Vball HAHA I kept getting targetted. I aim to improve on Vball so can play with yall in future hahah. apart from the being targetted part, I have to admit it was actually quite fun! :D many thanks to the zx/gt/sunran/lorraine for organizing the band outing, even though it didn't go as planned, it was still fun!(:
Thursday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUINZA!(: hahah surprise at swensens was quite fun:D We put her photo, the one with the chicken rice pose on a photoframe and set it up on the dinner table. when she came in she was greeted by her own face HAHA. the manager/supervisor at swensens was quite humorous as well, he kept thinking it was my birthday lol. Sang birthday song for quinZZIE hahah, had nice food.. Then went to eat more at the coffee connoiseur, where gt and quin ordered some coffee drink, and me and ziyan shared tiramisu! (: initially when we looked at the menu we really wanted to get out of the place, HAHA so much for acting high class xD but we had fun anyway. Its always yall who manage to bring me such laughter, fun and joy, and its really such friendships which I can never let go of no matter what happens. (:
Friday...comm JTS! at billy bombers. 4o bucksss :( hahahah but quite fun! it was epic looking at guanteng and val tearing up the $50 note hahaha. and sarah scouring the menu for the best deals and convincing people to order one-for-one/lunch set HAHA. food was pretty good, but the milkshake was really HUGE! it was nice but too sweet.. tasted like, chocolate ice cream. haha anw, our 'briefing' lasted for a while only. aft our meal we walked around, haha I wanted to do manicure at cathay but I lost the manicure place with the student special.. I think they either closed down or something :( haha so we dispersed and went home.
today (its already sunday lol 12.16 am) clarinet lesson, rushed Subway sandwich in the car, SNYS (Where tutor was late anyway grrrr) pomp & circumstance was quite messy initially, we couldn't do the transition parts, subway oatmeal raisin cookies, bus, home, daddy bought new camera for me :D, swimming, dinner (i love smoked salmon), heartbeat concert, KAP, home, laptop, chocolates, i'm typing like that cos I think I need sleeeeep.
I NEED TO STUDY! yeah i really need to :(

Elections
Committees 08/09 and 09/10!(:
Elections are over, but it marks the beginning of our committee's term. The road ahead will definitely be challenging, but with passion as our driving force-passion for HC band, passion for the people we serve-we'll be able to make it, and make a difference to HC band in the next year to come. Thank you HC band for your support and trust in us, we'll strive to do our best. Thank you seniors for all the hard work and your effort in the past year. Now its up to us to continue serving the band.. GO ALL OF US:D
Two years back when I was entrusted with the task of DM, I was really unsure, and I vividly remember reeling in a state of shock.. But this time I really hope that I will apply the valuable lessons I have learnt throughout my term in serving the band, and to do my best for the band.

profile
Tianhui decided to edit this chunk of bio on her blog because she was hit by a sudden wave of inspiration, not that she’s a budding writer or any of that sort, but probably because she’s feeling bored and hasn’t edited this bio for quite long. She wonders whether anybody even bothers to read this chunk of us, so if you’re reading it, I feel happy for myself.
So, I don’t know what you want to know about me, but I do know what I want you to know about me. I’m Tian Hui, and I don’t have an English name but I think my Chinese name is cool and I haven’t found anybody with the exact same name as me yet. I was born on the 28th of November 1992, and I’m currently sixteen going on seventeen. I studied in Nanyang Girls’ High School during my secondary school years, and the most distinct memories that remain etched in my mind are that of Nanyang Concert Band, which I was, and am proud to have been part of(:
Currently I study in Hwa Chong Institution, and I do not take any science subjects because science is not my cup of tea (contrary to popular belief); stuff like Literature and Economics interest me more. I’m proud to be part of HC Band, and I still play the clarinet like I used to. I think JC’s really fun, well not the really academic side of it, but the friends you make and people you interact with; these are what you really take away from school.
I love food (and that’s probably an understatement) ; I die for chocolate, dark chocolate especially, and cheesecake, hint. Why I love baking is hence self explanatory. I love music, especially classical music. My favourite composers include Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Chopin. And I enjoy playing in an orchestra because the grandeur of it is overwhelming, and the music fuels you to yearn for more. I enjoy reading, poems especially, and wish I could write as well as poets like Stephen Spender and possibly inherit some wit from John Donne. I enjoy blogging because it allows you to express yourself in a way GP teachers wouldn't appreciate; I enjoy watching movies, I enjoy sticking Post-Its all over my notes, I enjoy writing, and I could type a whole list of what I enjoy but I guess I wouldn’t bore you.
I cannot stand animals, which is pretty weird, considering how everyone exclaims and drools over cute cats, dogs, rabbits, and whatever. But I just cannot tolerate the idea of cuddling a kitten in my arms, or stroking a rabbit for that matter. The only animals I am not afraid of are probably animals that do not have a chance of walloping out at you, like fish and terrapins. Not that I’d like to rear them though.
I aspire to be… well I guess I don’t know yet. But then again, ambitions always do change, right? When I was really young, I wanted to be a scientist, then I wanted to be a doctor, and now… I’m interested in NGOs and creating a better Earth for everyone to live in. (If I haven’t told you yet, yes, I do tend to sound altruistic at times.) But then again, dreams are the path to reality. I hope to save the environment, do something for Mother Earth, do something to help the underprivileged. My current ambition is to work in an NGO, but then again my ambition is always changing… I might end up as something I’d never intended to (veterinarian, maybe?)
And there goes my long self intro, there’s a lot more to know about me though. But before I bore you any longer I guess I’d end the list here. Maybe I’d extend it in future when I do actually think of something. Till then, be proud of yourself for having read through these 644 words (and counting) about me.
:D
:D
