Finally.

Sun, 11/29/2009 - 11:13PM by clarissasoon 0 Comments - 6 Views

Gosh, I haven't update in ages. More than 2 months to be exact. Therefore, I'm flooding random photos.







So that sums up my holiday so far. However, it's mainly occupied by narnia. I'm even leaving the house in like 10 mins to meet Kimberly at Jurong East MRT to go to PSC for narnia rehearsals. Not to say that I did not enjoy myself this holiday, but I didn't have as much fun as I had expected. Partly because of the lack of time for me to go out with friends. EVERYDAY evening is devoted to narnia. Yes, Monday to Sunday. EVERY NIGHT, since the start of November. I know, how awesome right.

And the only time I have to go out with friends is when I go out for lunch/dinner with them either before/after rehearsals. Which is kind of sad because I don't like going out for a while and having to rush for rehearsals after that. I would rather spend the whole day on one activity. But at the same time, it's rehearsals, which ARE neccessary.

Anyway, I'll update soon (hopefully). But for now, I'm rushing to leave the house :)

Math Marathon

Sun, 09/27/2009 - 5:57AM by clarissasoon 0 Comments - 12 Views

My math marathon today was fruitful! Okay, I was lying. It wasn't really a marathon, just that I managed to complete all my math homework and I did a few extra revision questions. I'm so proud of myself, because usually I would leave math to the last, because, well, it's math. But yeah, I worked on my math today and I'm really happy that I managed to finish my math homework. I bet Ms Lim would be shocked/impressed. Okay, I guess I'm kidding, don't think she would really feel anything because we ARE supposed to finish those 3 revisions.

Anyway, I'm currently trying to memorise my OWALW song lyrics. For ALL the songs in OWALW. I regretted it a lot, for not started to memorising bit by bit from the start and leave myself to rush and finish memorising all the songs at the last minute. I don't even know the tune to some of the songs, and that's why I'm on YouTube now. Hey, I'm not surfing the net, I'm actually doing my homework.

Anyway, I'm really scared for my science paper because I think that there's really a lot for me to study for science. And I will study till 12 midnight every single night for the whole of next week, leading up to the exam. I don't exactly think that it's considered burning the midnight oil/waiting to the last minute and panicking because I guess that's what most people are going to do.

Furthermore, teachers only finished teaching the exam syllabus for each subjects like this week, leaving us only 1 week to study. But still, no complains because the whole school are also going to mug. Oh and btw, I guess what Ms Liz told us the last lesson made a lot of sense. So now, I've got a few inspiration to make myself study harder - Dr Yap, Ms Liz, etc. Ms Liz told us not to follow her footsteps, but to study smartly. Be intelligent in the sense that we should think carefully on what to studying more and what to study less. If a teacher did not really cover much in a topic, it means that the topic is less important and we should not spent so much time studying it. Ms Liz told us not to do what she did - MUG.

And she was telling us how the IB exam is not easy, really not easy at all. She hasn't stopped studying since day one and she didn't even have time for herself and her family during the weekends. Weekends are intensive studying for her. Not sure if she graduated from the IB too, but the point is that she told us that the IB exam is difficult, much more difficult than normal O Levels or A Levels. That's why we really need to get our facts right and start studying since day one.

Anyway, I'm going to end here. Anyway, I won't be updating often next week (intensive studying for me). But you can stalk me on Twitter.

I can't stand it anymore, because there's a limit to everyone's patience.

Thu, 09/24/2009 - 3:32AM by clarissasoon 2 Comments - 20 Views

I'm really pissed off because I can't stand it anymore. Honestly, I don't know why am I going through all these SHIT. And then I thought to myself, that every other thing is not caused by me, it's all caused by THAT PERSON WHO WEARS A BLACK JACKET EVERYDAY.

It was yesterday, Pearl and I got really pissed and we've decided to ignore him (many teachers advised us to do that) once and for all. And then, Krish noticed me getting all pissed off during ARC and I was really frustrated at that time. It totally didn't help that I was PMS-ing.

So Krish asked me what happened. And I told him everything, yes everything that I'm so pissed about, regarding THAT PERSON WHO WEARS A BLACK JACKET EVERYDAY. And trust me, Krish can vouch for it, I was practically close to tears when I was telling him about it. And it has got nothing to do with me in the first place. Honestly, NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. And I don't see anything wrong with me ignoring him when I'm the victim. Come on, even Pearl is pissed off.

So from now onwards, YES, from now onwards, I'm decided that ONCE AND FOR ALL, unless it's for theatre, I'm not going to talk to him as much as possible, so as to save all my frustration. And I hope that I'm not going to be unlucky next year and be in the same class as him because PLEASE, I CAN'T STAND HIM ANY LONGER. AND THERE'S A LIMIT TO EVERYONE'S PATIENCE. HIS REALLY PUSHING THE LIMIT!

Anyway, why am I even talking about him. Anyway, let's talk about happy things. Krish sent me a link yesterday. It is a link to this piano rendition of Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and Coldplay's "Viva La Vida", both his favourite song. And coincidentally, my 2 favourite songs are sung by those 2 artists as well - "White Horse" by Taylor Swift and "Lovers in Japan" by Viva La Vida.

Anyway, it's really nice, and I've saved the song in my Ipod. Here is the link:

Guys, please do pity girls sometimes.

Wed, 09/23/2009 - 5:56AM by clarissasoon 2 Comments - 20 Views

Guys, you really need to pity girls sometimes.

I don't know why, really, but the moment I stepped into the bathroom and started bathing, tears just kept rolling down my cheeks non-stop. And it wasn't because of a specific reason.

Okay, so school ended at 6pm today and I got up dad's car immediately after school. But for some reason, there was a big traffic jam along the way, from Kallang (somewhere near my school) all the way to PIE, and then to my house. I was really tired and I slept throughout the whole journey. When I woke up my eyes, we finally got home and suddenly, it was night - 7.30pm. The sky was really dark and it was totally contrasting to the colour of the sky when I first got up the car - bright and sunny.

And for some reason, I didn't say a single word in the lift. When I got home, I put down my bag and got my clothes, and immediately went into the bathroom to take a shower. And then, for some reason, I started crying/tearing. It was quite little at first but it got worse and I started crying. I don't know why but I just got frustrated over nothing.

And this was when I suspected it was PMS, I never knew that it could come in this form. I've always thought that PMS is sparked off by something small. But yeah, I was wrong. And then I remembered Mrs Sara teaching us about Menstruation in school and how she said something like, "Girls do you sometimes feel that you are frustated over little things and feel like killing the whole world." Yeah, now I understand how it feels. Not that I want to kill the whole world or anything, but yeah, you get what I mean.

Anyway, that's about it. Nothing interesting's been happening in my life lately.

When we got kicked out of class.

Mon, 09/21/2009 - 6:20AM by clarissasoon 0 Comments - 5 Views

Today didn't go quite well, in the morning I guess. Anyway, I woke up slightly later than usual and didn't have time to tie my hair properly so I randomly tied a side ponytail to school. Got to school at around 7.55pm and saw Anjali, Celeste and Tara waiting outside the Black Box. And all of us were wearing the grey SOTA arts fest shirt.

So anyway, more people came and we started helping with the set. Actually, everyone was helping with the painting of boxes, except Isabelle, Ryan and I. The 3 of us were helping Mr Sam with the SCAFFOLDING and the setting up of lights and curtains, etc. Anyway, if you don't know what a scaffolding is, go Wiki it. We did quite a good job, I must say, like for the 3 of us, because we managed to get quite a lot done.

So anyway, we were supposed to be given a break but because Mr Sam realised that someone had spilled paint all over the place and worse, another person had stepped on the paint and all over the black box, Mr Sam got angry and yeah, we were released earlier than expected, much earlier. So anyway, most of us stayed back and rehearsed a little bit more of the scene and we were contemplating whether or not to return and apologise. Finally, we decided that we shouldn't because Mr Sam would have been quite stressed up, since the performance is tomorrow and we have a very short period of time to get things done. Furthermore, we were told to go home.

Anjali, Celeste, Gwen, Pearl and I decided to go to Pearl's house. It was around 11.30pm then and we had quite a lot of time. Anjali's mom came soon and she drove to a Macdonalds drive thru at East Coast Park. We ordered our food and we her mom fetched Celeste home to pick up her swimming stuff before dropping us off at Pearl's house.

Anyway, we got to her house and started eating Macs. We watched a bit of Hi-Five and we were soon singing to the songs, actually it was only Anjali and I. And one of the girls was dressed in pink from top to bottom. Anyway, we finished eating and everyone changed into their swimming costume, excluding me. I wasn't planning to swim because you know....girl problem. So anyway, I was their photographer instead.

But somehow while they were swimming, I really felt like swimming myself because it looked so fun and I haven't been swimming for a long time. But you know, I can't. Anyway, we stayed around the poolside for almost 2 hours, before the girls went to bathe/dry themselves up. I was just going around taking photos of them.

After a while, we went over to the carpark and sat down. It's a really beautiful place because that particular carpark has no car at all, I mean no cars are parked there, for some reason. So we camwhored and did a lot of jump shots. It was really nice. After some time, we walked to the club house and played pool till 5pm. Soon, we went back up to Pearl's house and it was time to go. Anjali waited for her mom to come pick her up while Celeste and I walked to Tanah Merah MRT station.

I took a train to Bugis before taking 960 home. It wasn't crowded at all, and there was no jam along the way. I got to BPP at around 6.15pm and had a quick dinner before having Swensons ice cream. I got home around 7.15pm. So yeah, that's about it. Hope Mr Sam isn't pissed with us and won't scold us tomorrow, even though I think he would. But, you know, it's partly our fault too, for not being careful and stuff.

Anyway, I'll post the photos some other time, I'm lazy.

We don't want to be remembered, because remembering is for those who will be forgotten.

Sun, 09/20/2009 - 6:06AM by clarissasoon 1 Comment - 14 Views

We don't want to be remembered, because remembering is for those who will be forgotten.

Another awesome quote from Dr Yap.

About 50 of us (approximately) were given a briefing by Dr Yap and Mrs Chew after assembly on Friday because the Prime Minister is visiting our school next Tuesday (the coming Tuesday). The approximately 50 of us are involved in the Prime Minister's visit, mainly because we're performing and showcasing our art. Out of which, these 50 mainly consisted of Year 2 and Year 3 students, with only one Year 1 boy.

Well, anyway, Dr Yap was having a casual talk with us while waiting for Mrs Chew to come (because she was talking to the Year 1s at Tabula Rasa). He was telling us about impressions and he made this statement (as above). If you think about it, it actually makes sense. And that's why I say Dr Yap is the most inspirating person I've every come across, the best vice principal one can every have.

Anyway, speaking of the Prime Minister's visit. The Year 2 theatre students and Music students who are performing OWALW for the Prime Minister will be released from class at 10.15pm on Tuesday, which gives us close to 3 hours of rehearsal time. And tomorrow is meant to be a public holiday because of Hari Raya. But the 7 people involved in the acting scene (which involves me) and a few other students with Mr Sam will be going back to school to prepare.

The 7 people will mainly be rehearsing our scene, while Mr Sam and the few other students will be setting up the lights and painting the boxes for the performance on Tuesday. But no complains, because I presume it's going to be fun. Syazana had initially invited me over to her house for Hari Raya, and we're supposed to go visiting to other people's house like Elfie, Narisha, etc. But I guess I'll have to forgo the trip because of school.

It's random again.

Thu, 09/17/2009 - 5:43AM by clarissasoon 0 Comments - 3 Views

Finally, I got my pointe shoes. After months of waiting, it's finally here! Looking forward to start pointe soon.

Oh and Krish made me stay back till 6.30pm today to take his dad's car home. But yeah, it was kind of worth it because I would rather take his dad's car than to take public transport home.

OWALW rehearsal today wasn't that bad. And we talked abit about our Production Design assessment. I've got a few ideas, so will prolly go in those direction and see what I can come up with. Surprisingly, I've decided to start researching like now, so that I've got more time to draw/source materials as samples for the design.

Oh, and one last thing. Krish and I were walking when we saw two Year 1 boys playing basketball. So we asked them if we could join in and yeah, we played. Krish and I totally owned them, like serious. HAHA, so proud of myself :)

Ending abruptly now, bye!

10 minutes of OWALW

Wed, 09/16/2009 - 5:38AM by clarissasoon 0 Comments - 5 Views

Today was awesome. The only thing that was tiring was theatre lesson, even though it was fun. The Prime Minister is visiting our school and watching a short excerpt of OWALW next Tuesday. It was supposed to be around 10 minutes. It was quite a last minute thing so we were rushing this week. Mr Sam wanted us to perform the ending of Act 1, leading into the opening song of Act 2. The song is "Oh What a Lovely War".

So in that scene right before the song, it's 7 pages long, which means it's about 7 minutes of actual performance time for that scene alone. So in that scene, the only people involved are Romit, Ryan, Shifaa, Tara, Viraj, Pearl and I. So while the rest of the Year 2 theatre students were revising and doing their down things during more than half of theatre lesson today, the Mr Sam was directing the 7 of us for that scene. Oh, Jaymie and Sarah joins in the scene at the later part.

So anyway, when the scene ends, everyone comes out from the backstage and we'll sing and dance to the song "Oh What A Lovely War", as mentioned. And yeah, that's the end of our short 10 minutes performance. Tomorrow, some students from the music faculty will be having rehearsals with us because they're providing the music for our piece.

I really can't wait for the real performance of OWALW after the exams, it's really going to be so much fun. And I guess it's going to be memorable for us because it's going to be our last performance here, at the Goodman Road campus.

Oh and we were doing jump shots in class during break today. It was so much fun, and Yingyan took this photo of me, which I thought is really nice. I practically used it for my Facebook profile picture, MSN display picture, twitter profile picture, blog profile photo, wallpaper, etc. Practically anything you can think of. Here's the photo anyway:

CLAREARL loves to jump!

Tue, 09/15/2009 - 5:02AM by clarissasoon 0 Comments - 7 Views

Today was great! Pearl and I camwhored a lot. Honestly, we haven't actually camwhored for a long time together. So yeah, we were early for IHSS today so we ended up jumping in the girls toilet. And we went to the back of the black box area after school and continued jumping.

Okay, that's about it. Sorry for this short entry, I've gtg to have my dinner. TOODLES!

My life's filled with such joy

Mon, 09/14/2009 - 6:52AM by clarissasoon 0 Comments - 4 Views

Hey guys, thank goodness, my life has been great recently! Or maybe not. Oh and that is supposedly supposed to refer to ____, oh well, never mind. I'm not a petty person, unlike others you see. Anyway, today was the first day of school for Term 4, and it went pretty well. PRETTY WELL, I must say.

OWALW rehearsals have been great! I'm certainly looking forward for more rehearsals to come. As Mr Sam had mentioned, this week's rehearsals are going to be really intense, with musicians coming in to have a look at the piece from time to time. And in the second half of the lesson, we just basically sat down and talked about the memories we had with Mr Gilchrist.

No one cried, yes, no one. And I was proud of it because this shows that we've taken the first step in trying to overcome the incident and getting over it. Not that we want to forget about it totally, but we should concentrate on the more important things in our life for the time being. In fact, we were laughing at most of the memories, even at those times when we recalled about getting scolded by Mr Gilchrist, because it was a lesson to be learnts. And we could actually picture ourselves, being stupid last year.

Chinese was okay, not as boring as I've expected it to be, partly because of the weird jokes my teacher cracks. And Lit was quite okay for me as well. Even though we continued with the presentation, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, in fact, I was paying attention throughout the lesson. Except that halfway through, I wasn't exactly listening because I was thinking of Mr Gilchrist. Yes, I think Mrs Tan noticed that too, even though she might not know what I was thinking off. But I soon got back on track so she didn't exactly point me out or something.

And math wasn't boring at all, I didn't feel like falling asleep. Maybe it's because I kept telling myself that this is the last lap for this year and I really must work hard. At least, get a pass in math for my EOY, that would do. REALLY. And because we were doing revisions and all for today's math lesson, I didn't feel tired. Instead, I think it helped me a teeny weeny bit and I did understand the concept slightly better.

PE! We got our soccer tournament groups today. I'm in the same team as Krish. And yes, I'm happy about it. Oh and one more thing, Pearl and I have been in the same team for every single tournament since last year - RUGBY, VOLLEYBALL and SOFTBALL. So this time, we're pretty certain that it seemed almost impossible for us to be in the same team anymore. And we were betting to see who would be the "lucky" one to be in the same team as Romit.

So Ms Koh was reading out all the people in each team. And Pearl's name was read immediately after Romit's, and I started laughing. HAHA, sorry Pearl, but please take it as a blessing in disguise. So anyway, I was quite happy with my team. Not that it has exceptionally good players, or exceptionally bad players, just that I've learnt that tournaments is not about winning. It's about working together. Yes, I'm serious, I've really learnt that from all the previous tournaments we've had.

And Krish was acting like some gay ass. First, he said that our team name could be CURRY PUFFS. Okay, that was really random. And Anisha and Yung Chi were like, G-FORCE. And I was like, "HELL NO!". And Krish started begging us for our team name to be TAYLOR SWIFT FAN CLUB. Fyi, he's into Taylor Swift recently.

Anyway, I'm tired, going off to bed now. Oh, one more thing. For your entertainment:

I made it really big so that you could read. Thank me pretty please :)
