First Half of December

It most certainly had been a long time since I last blogged! Plain lazy on my part, I must say! Haha. As usual, I'd like to say that time seriously flies! Look where we are at right now, in the very last month of the year 2009! Actually, there's just less than 20 days remaining before this absolutely amazing year comes to a close! Well oh well! Let me begin with all the updates I have to say!

Firstly, EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER! Woohoo! Though I'm not so sure how the results will turn out to be. :x Only to be released on the 30th of December, (so damn late! SMU had theirs released already and NUS will be revealing them on the 22nd! NTU is so slow!) I really hope that my results will not be as bad as what I feel I will be getting! Hai. Overall, I must say that I think I could have done better. Had I not slacked at various moments during the exam period, but instead utilized those precious seconds to more productive work, I think I would have been able to do better. Oh wells. What's done cannot be undone. Hopefully that dreaded GPA will not be so bad, keeping all fingers crossed for now!

Of course, after exams comes a huge break from all academic activities! Right now, I'm busying myself with my CCA! RSPHI is going to have it's annual Christmas Song Sign Singing! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's just simply us volunteers, using the deaf communication tool, hand signs, to sing out Christmas songs! I'll be signing 'Where Are You Christmas' by Faith Hill, a very slow and emo song! There will be 7 other songs by 7 other groups too! Performance will be from the 18th to 20th, at various shopping centers. Below are the details:

18th: Tiong Bahru Plaza
19th: Century Square Mall
20th: Bugis Junction

All performances begin at 7pm! If you are free, I strongly recommend you to come down and take a look, especially on the 20th, as all 8 groups will be performing at the same location. For the other 2 dates, we will be divided into 2 different shopping malls; the aforementioned are the places I'll be performing, along with another 3 groups. It's most certainly alright if you do not understand hand signs, just come down and enjoy the festive Christmas spirit our performance will bring out to you! Songs from other groups include 'Melodies of Christmas' from David Archuleta, 'Christmas Eve' from Celine Dion and many many more! So remember to keep those dates free, and I am most certain you will have an awesome time singing/signing these great Christmas songs with us! :)

Hence, for the past 4 days, I was at no where else but in school for Christmas song sign camp, practicing and rehearsing real hard for the performance! It was very tiring, having to wake up real early, like 7am, and then making that 1 hour trip to school, for a 12 hour camp which last till 9pm, and then reaching home after 10pm! Furthermore, having to do mass performances in front of other groups and seniors as well is truly nerve wrecking! My heart just goes beating at the speed of an F1 formula car, while my hands and knees just could not stop trembling while I was on stage! Stage fright it is, I really hate it, for nothing good comes out of it as it simply screws up my performance! Arghz! Yet it's just not easy to control it you know! Hai. Anyone has any good tips on how to maintain your cool while on stage?! I'd greatly appreciate any good suggestions man! :S

Then of course, though tiring, the camp was extremely fun, in a way I was just self-entertaining myself all the while! Also, because my song is very slow and much easier to pick up than other songs, it means my group was more slack and so not as xiong as the others! Haha. Today is a break! There's 2 more days of practicing, and might have more if our performance is still not up to standards! But no matter how tough the training is, I'm truly enjoying myself right now, and am so looking forward to performance day! :D

Oh! Next Tuesday, 15th of December, 2009, is a very important day for me! I'm gonna have my TP! AHHH! Haha. I guess I'm more or less ready for the test, just that I will require some more practices in the circuit and then I should be good. My clutch-accelerator still isn't very good. Hopefully it will not be too bad on test day, and that I will be able to successfully smoke through my examiner! Most importantly, I hope I get a kind examiner! My instructor had already forewarned me all the good and bad examiners which I could land myself with on test day, and he said that Malay examiners are the most lenient! Haha. So hopefully I can get a Malay examiner, or else just one that will not be too strict with me! :x Wish me luck, I really want to pass just this first time and get it over and done with!!!!!! Hopefully all goes well on that day! :)

Alright! That's all I have for now! There's many more things I'd like to complete before the end of the year! Packing up my stuff and writing a review for this great year is the 2 things I'm giving most priority to for now! Exciting days coming up ahead! Till then! :D
