{flew in at 8:49 AM

YEAR 2006 has come to a close! whatan eventFUL year it was this year.. thinking back about the many activities that has happened will really make one feel that this year was not a year that went by meaninglessly but rather, a year full of surprises and lessons learnt! haha.
lets see... my new class in 2006, 3e1. the class with the 'nerds' as some may call it juz by seeing the name. but one thing i am super proud of is that we managed to be seen as the cool class with the clever people and not really nerds! haha. maybe a few chess players :P we won sooooo many things this year in level and school challenges.. some great moments will be winning the national day performance thing (we practiced real hard for it okay and was the ONE AND ONLY upper sec class that articipated.. never see that coming from a first class ya) haha. and also, winning the most profitable stall for the SUNDAY MARKET!! we rocked in so many things... academic wise and outside classroom matters wise.i am so proud to be a 3e1-nian. haha. also, not to forget the many challenges i had to overcome having to take 9 subjects and i too, enjoyed every single lesson of my LITERATURE class, where there are only 6 of us taking lit and we are called LITETERANIANS. haha... our glorious moments cant happened without both MR shah and MRS lai who helped up at different parts of the year. also to our many subject teachers..

Peer Leader, becoming Vice-Head and head of 1 opt group came to me as a SURPRISE. i can say i was not really enthu about peer leader as i had my band to handle at one point in time.. but like i always say.... once given the job, do it well even if u do not want it as it has been given to u with faith and confidence! haha. peer leader was busy this year but fun at the same time!

Band,the place where most of the fun, sad, joy and all other emotions comes out of me and where i will have my deepest and greatest memories in!
the many performances at all the wierd places where all of us will get real hot and sweaty... the Stadium Green Performance, Bedok Family Day, Bedok Interchange... haha.. although it was real hot, we still gave our very best and we were well recieved! cheers!
one very very memorable evening of the band calendar would be Fiesta de Graduazione, our very own concert since a long time! this years' one was a sad one for me as i had to say goodbye to many great seniors of the band whom my batch are very very close too.... huijia, weining, xiaowei,clariss, carin, yining and the rest. u people made a lasting impression on the band and to us! thank you for that =D it was a great concert too which ended up with many tears flowing... but whats a new beginning if there is no ending! haha
Also, my next leap in band was the becoming of Band Major. was i prepared for it? not really i would say. all i wanted before handng down day was to remain as the librarian. the library which i did for the past 1 yr was something close to me as many ugly and nice things happened there. never have i thought of leaving that library job.. but when i was chosen as BM, all i could think of was 'oh no, my library!' but i was quite glad that it was in the hands of elizabeth as i know, she WILL do a better job than me. haha. yup, so i was quite shock.. the band is either gonna support or go against me. but a leader is there for a reason and there were many challenges i had to face and of course, there was a greater work load.. have i done enough as a BM i always think and i always answer back to myself 'NO!' and its because there is no end to how much i can do and till now, i hope that under the leadership of me and xiangyi, the band has improved. but thats just a hope... but in reality, hav we improved for what we are aiming for ? =D thats for u ppl to decide!
the next one would be my the 32nd BAND NCO camp! this is a once in a lifetime event and to me, i am really honoured and glad that i was part of it! no one and i mean NO ONE can ever forget what the band majors and drum majors from all the schools in Singapore went through in just the 5 days where we trained and enjoyed ourselves from 8am to 5pm EVERYDAY. i will never forget the waking up early and heading to CCAB every morning to have pracctive and seeing all the familiar faces which u have seen 10 hours ago. i will not forget playing ABba Gold and the other 10 pieces with the rest of the Band Majors. i will not forget doing marching formations.. i will not forget the drum majors performance, i will not forget the Band Majors perfromance and i will NEVER forget the lunch they gave us. but most importantly, i will not forget the memories i had there and the time i spent there with the people i made friends with whom i believe will be in touch tgt for a very long time. it was a tremendously great experience with the 5 days of being tanned and drenched ending with out very own Passing Out Parade. this is one thing that i wish i could do again!
the last big event of the band would be the Hong Kong trip. i think much has been said in my previous post abt the trip but one thing i would say about this trip is that it has really made me know who my BESTEST BEST friend is and how people really react to different situations sometime! but still, this trip is one trip that i will never forget and i would definitely wanna go back to HK with the band again and experience this whole roller coaster ride once more! thank u so so much YVONNE for being there with me all the time! u rocked!
tha many band camps.... they were all great!

this year would not have been how it was if it wasn't for all my friends! u guys were great and quarrels only make the relationship stronger! =D however, i would like to say how greatful i am to have friends like ELIZABETH, YVONNE and GINO! we 4 must have shocked some people to see how close we can be even though not all of us are in the same class! also, to Xiangyi, 2007 is an important year! and u have been a GREAT partner! always relieveing stress from me with ur huo po attitude! haha. thanks! and to all the other band mates, we have a great year ahead of us!

~ summing up year 2006

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!! YEAR 2007 will be a great year for EVERYONE (hopefully :P)
