WHEN I GROW UP, I'M GONNA MARRY A SINGER.
When I'm tired, he can sing me songs full of energy; when I'm happy, he can sing me songs of the blooming spring; when I'm sad, he can sing me songs full of sweet love; when I'm angry, he can sing me songs like Apologise. Oh! And on our wedding day, he can sing me the wedding march! Sighhh, one can get lost in this world of dreams...
Was listening to Jason Mraz while doing work since I got home to destress while doing stressful work. He chuckles when he sings live! I like his laughter hahaha. Oh and I paid attention to his lyrics! Makes me feel all happy.
Sighhhhhh.
Okay, enough rambling. Back to work (math prep test tmr -.-) and to my world with JASON MRAZ and WEDDINGS WITH SINGERS.

Actually, I was very glad about becoming sixteen at first! Until Jieying informed me that being old means no more having fun in school >< But most importantly, we are now old. But it is a nice feeling to be a senior and know that you are now all grown up and can give guidance to the juniors. Oh there is one thing I must do! I must exclaim "So cuteee!!" to the small sec ones that I see because that was how we were all treated when we were sec ones. The fond memories of being young...
Anyway, school reopens tomorrow! I can't wait to see all my friends and hug them! But school reopening also means...MORE HOMEWORK! More stress! More lovey-dovey bonding with friends.
I just can't wait =D

This year has really been a year full of fun and laughter, but also tears and sadness, and not to mention lots of STRESS. But it has been a great year and below is a list of the top 10 things that have happened this year to me in random order:
1. Becoming a member of beloved 314 and having so much fun and tears together
2. Officially becoming a member of council and able to do things for the school
3. Going to Japan for band exchange and having a once in a lifetime experience
4. Going to Korea for holiday and shopping so much there!
5. Having a Limelight concert in Esplanade, which gave me the feeling of such accomplishment while the audience cheered
6. Teaching the autistic kids in AWWA that has taught me how much the love and care you can give counts
7. Becoming the band major that has given me more meaning in my life in NYGH
8. Attending Model ASEAN Summit that gave me such an amazing experience
9. Attending SLC, though only for a day, it gave me a new meaning of "fun"
10. Making new friends; Strengthening bonds with new friends, members of 314, members of council, and members of beloved NYCB
But the best thing that happened was to have friends and family by my side.
2008 has not been an easy one to live through, especially with big changes such as becoming a sec 3 with one more subject on hand and having council work as an additional workload. Sometimes, it was extremely tough and there were times that i wanted to hide in a corner and throw all my burdens away. Unfortunate things happened such as finding out about the condition of my knees, frequently falling sick or that the stress is finally really getting to me at times. However, I am glad that there are great friends around me that have helped me pull through the tough times. My 314 classmates, like eewei <3, jieying <3, xuean <3, michelle <3, are always there to help me out and give me a confidence booster! LOVE YOU! My nycb batchmates, who are always there behind me, ready to catch me and support me. GROUP HUG! Of course, there are always the old friends who never forget to say hi and ask "how are you doing"! THANK YOU!
okay, I'm getting all emotional on a blog entry hahaha. SOOO, 2008 has been great with all the wonderful things God has blessed me with, all the sad things that God wanted me to learn from, and all the amazing friends God has given me.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! God Bless <3

I went there for a week, from 2nd Dec to 9th Dec. It was a great 8 days! However, it can't really be considered a holiday as I kept dreaming of band xD Because of this trip, I actually missed my own band concert on the 4th. But I'm proud to say I'm proud of my band! When I was back in Singapore, I heard many people telling me that my band was fantastic. Imagine the overjoyed me :D
It was a shopping spree in Korea! I bought 3 bags and many other little stuff that kept the shopping queen in me happy. It was quite cold there though; I actually survived -18 degree celsius! When the wind blew by, you could actually feel your face numbing instantly. I went to two theme parks and it was a big bang! Sitting on the roller coasters, my teeth felt like dropping off from the numbness as the cold wind wheezed past me at exhilarating speeds. Oh, and I went for many rides that went 360 degrees!
In the second theme park, I caught BIG BANG live! To those who don't know, Big Bang is a popular boy band group in Korea. It was so cool! All the korean girls were screaming away, and some boyfriends carried their girlfriends on their shoulders for them to be able to see the stage. As I was too short (at the height of 164cm compared to the super tall Korean boys), I had to continuously jump up and down to be able to see what's happening on stage. When Big Bang left backstage, I had the chance of going very close up to them! How lucky am I xD
Next week, I'm going to be super busy. Mon-Wed: Council Camp, Wed-Fri: Band Camp. Haha, I think I have to split myself into two on Wed. However I'm a little worried about my health now. Just a month ago, I had the worst flu I've ever had that lasted two weeks. Then, yesterday for lunch, I had a really spicy black pepper beef rice and ever since, I've been having a very bad tummy upset. I've had quite a few rounds of diarrhea today too. I'm afraid it will escalate into something worse...
Cheryl Tong: It sucks to be Kayyun.

While talking to a friend the other day, she casually mentioned a thing such as the "Computer Obsession Disorder" or in short, the COD. Based on scientific research, someone with the COD would have the urge to turn on the computer everyday and leave it on even if the person has no need to use it at the moment. If the person doesnt turn on the computer, he/she would feel anxiety, shortness of breath and loss of appetite. It is suggested by world-reknowned scientists and health consultants that should one suspect one is suffering from COD, one should immediately seek help. She shocked me so much that I contemplated briefly on visiting a phycologist. Only my lack of money to get a good one stops me from doing so.
Those who know me know I love fairytales, what with all the happy endings and meeting Prince Charming on a white horse *sigh* (still hoping for that) Anyway, I had a sudden urge to watch ENCHANTED, so I sat down and watched with my little sister (Thank you to GOU JUN who gave me the movie and she is really fartcinating). The movie is enchanting haha, though a little impossible that doves can deliver flowers and chipmunks can talk. Then I realised that when Giselle and Robert were dancing together at the ball, there was a really cute singer singing! He was singing "So Close". The song is so romantic and Jon Mclaughlin's husky voice sort of pulls you into a web of dreams and promises and tugs on your heart strings. Okay whatever, main point: The song is sweet and I absolutely love it (:
Oh by the way, my msn nick really doesnt mean anything. Jieying made me put a (don't) in front and there's a really long story behind it xD

Firstly, I didn't really eat more and sleep more; in fact, I ate less and slept less. I fell really sick on the first day of my holidays and my fever climbed up to 39 degrees! The worst thing was, my parents left for Hong Kong just that morning. There I was tossing and turning at 1 am, thinking the fever was going to fry my brain and I would never be able to count how many fingers I had again. Turned out that the common flu I caught became a bacteria infection that I only recovered from a few days ago.
(Before you start panicking and thinking that you had contact with me in the past two weeks, please let me tell you that a bacteria infection cannot be spread =DD )
A list of what has happened that I will take my time to slowly elaborate another day:
1. Because I fell sick, I missed two days of the wonderful NCO camp! I miss NCO! Especially all the friends I made there! They're all great people!
2. I went out with my little sister of seven for two days in a row! One to watch "The very hungry caterpillar", one to watch "the beverly hills chihuahua". OH one day was disastrous and the other was simply marvelous xD
3. I've started my journalism course! My teacher's an englishman who says "bloody hell"! Which is so cool because no other people I know say it with such an accent xDD
Okay, that's all! haha, I shall elaborate another day.

That's how I'm planning on surviving my next... (please wait a moment, in the process of counting)...ten days.
I'm already thinking of how to spend my days after my exams are over. and my list is more than ready xD
kayyun is currently rolling around on the swivel chair and i am wondering where the rest of the class is.
today is marshmallow day! and we were roasting marshmallows outside the class with candles that were the size of my finger.
kayyun you have been a really nice and sweet person! the only bad thing i heard you say about anyone or anything is "eh so stupid!"
kayyuns digs her nose and she rubs her eye shit. and she her eye shit after that.
NOLA, those are some things that kayyun wont ever do.
kayyun does things like bursting out singing "baa baa black sheep", and going hee hee hee hee heee in that super
I LIKE OUR NEW SEATING ARRANGEMENT! can have class fights with the other end of class, and throw pieces of paper at each other/
kayyun i love you for always going "jieying wo ai ni very much", and for her advice and fun and singing!
ALWAYS STAY HAPPY OKAY! DONT LET OTHER PEOPLE AFFECT YOU :D:D
SMILE :D
jeanann is laughing at what i am typing. JEANANN IS SMELLY BUT I DARE NOT TELL HER. SHHHHHHH DONT TELL HER OKAY :D
I LOVE YOU KAYYUN

I am envious.
Like seriously envious.
Before you start oh-my-goshing about Kayyun being envious of something, I'm actually envious of Dileen. Have you noticed how her msn conversations have changed to exciting words in CAPS LOCK and how almost every sentence ends with a smile? Have you noticed that she actually tells you goodnight before 12 midnight? Have you noticed how she becomes so happy and carefree without much effort at all? Seriously, holidays do a world of good to some people (don't get me wrong Dileen, I'm really glad for you!) a happy dileen makes a happy day ^^; But sadly, not me. Just look at the time. My parents gave up trying to get me to sleep and went to sleep first :O about more than two hours ago.
NCO pre-camp training ended today. It was great, made lots of new friends xD I realise it's so easy to smile at someone, and instantly, you've made a new friend. U know frowning uses more muscles than smiling right? I conducted the 130 member-strong band made up of band majors for the last part of Disco Lives. As Mr Tan says "Isn't it cool?" (Mr Tan is our music director for the camp). Mr Tan is a great conductor, with lots of emotions and techniques. Yupp, I have learnt a lot these past few days and I'm more ready to take the band now after eoys are over (: Anyway, conducting the band was cool! Imagine the big sound blowing in your face and the music wraps you in a bubble and surrounds you with it. And YMCA is a such a fun piece to conduct. I can't wait for the camp at the end of the year. Furthermore, my drum major Tabby is going with me =D
Gosh. look at the time.
I'm envious.
Seriously.
Like, seriously seriously.

been sleeping on the couch lately, cos a relative came over to stay (: i have got to say, the couch is quite comfortable to sleep on (though sometimes in the night, i become a scaredy cat and start thinking about the sounds that I'm hearing and it becomes impossible to sleep for a while...)
my holiday is so not a holiday, but it's the same for everyone else, so i shall not complain xD been going for NCO camp since tuesday and it's been quite an enriching time, just time with me and my oboe (and other oboeists and tutor) even had sectionals in school yesterday xD
today, i was on my way home when i say a whole bunch of people wearing band tee heading back to school to practice. to let you know, band has already been suspended, so these people are going back on their own free will. i was so surprised and happy that so many bandees were coming back, morever, most of them were sec twos. i hereby declare: i am proud of my juniors and batchmates!
wanted to go back to school with the bandees too, but i had physio in the afternoon so my mum wanted me back home first. physio was okay, though painful at times. my physiotherapist keeps telling me not to go into the pain zone with my exercises yet. i wonder, will i be able to really run and jump around like other 15 year olds soon? i see my classmates play around like that, and i really want to join in soon. but physio is going to continue for a much longer time... boo.
p.s. did u notice? there are no caps locks at all =D

Today, I'm really happy happy because...(drumroll) today's my special day! and it is made all the special by the special people around me. In the morning, only Michelle (my lovely tablemate) wished me happy birthday, and I thought everyone forgot ): haha, but i think it was bcause of morning blues; everyone had this stone look on their faces throughout the first two periods ^^ Then when the reccess bell rang, everyone came to hug me and sing me the birthday song. I love 314 (:
Skip skip to band practice. oh before that, xue an and tabby were giving out 314 princess tea party's invitation cards xD Anyway, the drama class was occupying our band room, so the band was waiting outside for our turn to go in. And then, the band started singing me a birthday song! i'm sure i blushed again. haha, and cheryl and gang gave me NESSIE. I love it so thank you very much! and cheryl was being really sweet by trying to protect Nessie from the horrible quin xD (quin was abusing Nessie)
yes, it is named after the lochness monster, but it's lots cuter ok!
The band got Ms Chong a new chair as a teacher's day present. It's really cushy with a heart-shpaed cushion along with it. I hope she likes it!
After band, Mei Qi was like, "Kay Yun, I have something very serious to discuss with you." And I was so worried that she was facing problems. I was really concerned k! She brought me out of the band room to discuss with me, and it turned out that there was a cake waiting for me! Innocent mei qi was lying to me :O and worst still, i believed. haha, i forgive you mei qi! xD
But I was really really touched by the fluboes section, because they got me a CHOCOLATE MOOSE cake and a baby blanket as a present. And the birthday card was really sweet. I love them all so THANK YOU! xD
me blowing cake
me looking stupidly at camera
my beloved fluboes section
btw, I cut the cake on the third floor, but I ate on the first floor k! haha, and I think my section was rolling their eyes at me xD
Then I went into the band room, the trumpets trio (Yu Zhen, Li Ting, Amanda) played me the birthday song on the trumpet with Valerie helping. haha, they finally got the notes right. Then, Ching Ying was trying out the bass clarinet and she played a birthday song on it too. It's really cool cos it's her first time (?) playing the bass clarinet.
So all in all, it was a great day! and it was a balm to my frustrated soul cos the day before was the worst pre-birthday day i ever had. but that's another really long story.
thank you everyone! xD

Still...I woke up at 7.30, nudged my parents up, took a nice long shower and g ot ready to leave at 8.10 xD So in the end, I reached there at 8.30. Luckily the event had not started yet. Haha. The morning workshop was quite good. I had to assume the identity of "Toh Li Bin" though, as I went in her place. The lecturer taught us some writing excercises that we could do regularly to hone our writing skills. One of them was to tap on our memories and write something from our memories starting with "I remember..." I wrote about the time I was proposed to at the age of six =D haha...the sweet innocence of children xP
Anyway, the afternoon was not as educational, but I had some fun exploring the school, especially taking pictures and having fun with Hazel, Clara and Michelle (:
Hazel, Michelle and I went out to Orchad after that. We spent a long time deciding what to eat for dinner but settled on Mos instead. I love the burgers there; but Michelle and Hazel laughed at me becuase it was only my second time there T.T
We watch The Go Masters after that at Cathay. WARNING: DO NOT BELIEVE THE MOVIE REVIEWS. iT SAYS ON THE POSTER "IMPRESSIVE...A MESMERISING STORY'". INSTEAD IT ACTUALLY IS '"SERIOUSLY...A TRULY BORING STORY'' . We got cheated of ten bucks >.<
20 min into the movie
Michelle: It's quite boring leh...
Kay Yun: (confidently) The mesmerising part should be later!
10 min later
Kay Yun: Quite boring leh....
Michelle: Told you.
Half and hour later, I gave up and refused to look at the screen. Another half-and-hour later, Michelle and I found our short-lived amusement at how absurb the movie was. After the movie ended, the audience kinda stoned. A little chuckle and a few soft murmurs. Then we all started getting up. A few of us were a little shocked. So to all out there: DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE. yupps.
The later part of the night was fun. We went looking around the shops and I tried on some pretty dresses. hee. Michelle and Hazel have good tastes Thank you (: Ahhh...how I miss letting go of my burdens and just having fun. It is starting to sound like a foreign word. Well...it will be some time later before I get to say the word again so I have to treasure the time out. haha.
On the way home, it seemed like all my energy was seeped out of me. I had to drag one foot after the other. And the worst thing was, just when my mum was calling me, my phone went dead. I kind of panicked because I knew my mum would panick if she could not reach me when I was out at near 11 pm at night. I approached the neartest auntie I saw at the bus-stop and nicely asked if she could lend me her phone and gave her my reason. She took one look at me and turned her head away. IGNORED me T.T So I asked again, nicely, and she said coldly. "NO." My heart shattered. Not to mention my belief that all aunties are nice.
I went to take a seat on the opposite side of the bus stop and sulked. haha, okay, not really sulked, but worried my head off. Just then, an ahma and an auntie came to sit beside me. At least my belief that all ahmas are nice was still intact. And if that ahma was nice, then her daughter would be nice too right? So I asked the auntie if she could lend me her phone, and she looked at me so suspiciously, like I was asking her to do something wrong! What was with aunties and helping girls in need? Or do I really look like I am going to grab their phones and run away? It is sad to see that the world is so mistrusting now ): Anyway, the ahma heard, and she quickly sat up straight. "手机是吗?啊,你的没电了?快点,借她你的手机!快点!“ And the auntie had no choice but to lend me her phone. But when I returned her the phone after I called my mum, she offered me a little smile, like she was apologetic that she was suspicious of me. No matter what, she lent me her phone, so I thanked her gratefully.
My bus came, and to my BIG surprise, the ahma waved goodbye to me AND the auntie. They were NOT mother and daughter, but actually only met on the bus and started talking to each other! And she actually ORDERED the auntie to lend me her phone. haha! Ahmas are nice (: On the bus, the auntie actually called me to sit on an empty seat in front of her which I did not see. And she told me to get home safely when I got down the bus.
So...aunties and ahmas are still nice (:
Haha, I wrote so long le, I don't think anyone will want to read xD

Li Bin is the bane of my existence.
During LA lesson today, she had me fooled. We were in the computer lab, ordered to do our essays. Then Li Bin came to me and pulled me ‘gently’ out of my seat with that expression on her face (pouting). Thinking she needed to tell me something, I got off obligingly. I was being nice.
And the next thing I knew, she was lunging for my seat. Of course, I refuse to let a girl who is one head shorter than me snatch my seat away, so I lunged for my seat too. And of course, again, I won. But my elbow sort of came into contact with her teeth. It is not my fault, right ^.^
So anyway, she was cupping her mouth with a tortured expression on her face (sorry li bin!). And from this, I learned my lesson. Never fight with a kid when you are twice her age.
Second thing, she has to accuse me wrongly when it is really her fault.
Li Bin and I were just next to Clara when the little accident happened.
Clara: Ohmygosh.
Li Bin: (pouts and points to her lower lip)
Kay Yun: Stop that Li Bin! There is no ulcer and there isn't any more ulcers!
Clara: Oh ya! U hit her with a broom and gave her an ulcer the other time!
Li Bin: (pouts even worse) Yeah, remember that you made my lower lip turn BLUE?
Kay Yun: (seriously hurt) what?? Clara, did SHE tell you I hit HER with a BROOM?
Clara: Didn't you? That's what she told me!
Kay Yun stares at Li Bin and Li Bin chuckles nervously.
This is how the REAL story goes:
Once upon a time this year, there came a Mr Cockroach into 314 classroom. Apparently, it was not the beautiful girls there that attracted him but the beautiful smells in there. Mr Cockroach was nearing the classroom tables and Kay Yun stood up to approach him. She was thinking of a way to get it out of the classroom ALIVE when Li Bin came runnning towards her, armed with a broom. "Kay Yun, I'll save you!" She yells heroically. She looked like a knight in shining armour with sparkles all around her, running to save the lady from the evil Mr Cockroach. Sir Li Bin was about to smash the broom down on Mr Cockroach when Kay Yun stopped her and insisted that he be let out ALIVE. Then, Li Bin lifted the broom graciously to sweep Mr Cockroach out when suddenly, she froze. She turned around slowly. "Kay Yun, I think I hit my lip. I thought the broom was shorter than me..."
"...I think I hit my lip. I thought the broom was shorter than me" Those were her words! But then, she started blaming me. Her logic was that if I had let her kill the cockroach in the first place, she wouldn't have been hurt.
So now you understand why Li Bin is the bane of my existence?
But now that I think about it, she isn't so bad ALL the time. Like when she suddenly comes running to me and say "Kay Yun, I love you" (let's forget the number of times she declared cold war on me)
And of course, this:
It's after my limelight concert at the esplanade. That's Li Bin
on the floor and me standing there btw.
How can I stay angry at the person who did such a sweet thing? xD
So though Li Bin is and forever will be the bane of my existence, I still love her (:
Li Bin, be touched.

I'm exhausted.
And I mean really really exhausted...but in a nice way (:
Why? Because today afternoon was my first session with AWWA (Asian Women's Welfare Association). I volunteered to help out at AWWA Special School as a class assistant, meaning I get to help out the teachers in lessons with autistic children. To be truthful, I was a little worried at first. This was my first time going into close proximity with autistic children and I was not sure how they would take to me. But, despite my worries, today was great ^^
My class is adorable. There are 6 boys and 1 girl, around ages nine to ten. At first, I was a little shy (haha, me, shy?) becuase the children were ignoring me xD They were happily playing with their toys and one of them was fascinated by the ways he could knock off two small cardboard boxes from different heights. First, I had to watch one of the boys clean up after his snack. They are really taught well. After finishing their snacks, they keep their own lunchboxes, wash their hands and wipe their tables. It was a little hard because it was difficult to get their attention and I had to call their names many times.
Okay, back to being shy. I was watching the children play their toys and making sure nothing bad happen. Suddenly, this girl jumped into the class. She looked at me and then boucned towards me shouting "HELLO!" My heart melted at her friendliness. And then, this boy tugged at my hand and pulled me to the class radio. He held fast onto my wrist to make sure I wouldn't run while he switched on the music. It started playing a familiar folk tune. And the boy started dancing! He was skipping to the beat and one hand was held onto mine. He is very smart; he even told me the name of the Japanese composer! He asked me to dance along with him, haha, it was so sweet of him. Over the course of the lesson, I found out that he is actually of Japan and Hong Kong origins. He could speak Japanese and aboslutely loves music from the way I saw him just stare at the radio and appreciate the music! I am amazed xP
After a while, another boy walked into the class. This is one amazing boy. He is very organised, while his teacher calls him a workaholic. Haha. When the teacher asked the class to pack up, he immediately went to neatly stack the building blocks one by one into a box. I have to admit, even I am not that organised. If it was up to me, I would have just DUMPED everything into the box. I am ashamed :O
I realise one must have an immense amount of energy to spend time with the class every day. When the students were doing their work, I had to watch over them and make sure they did not start daydreaming or fidgeting with other stuff. The little workaholic was good. He finised every one of his work seriously and meticulously. After he was done, he would come to be with a red pen and mutter "mark". He got everything right =D I learnt that every time they did something right, I sould hi-five them! The sweet japanese boy and the smallest boy of the class had some difficulty though. The sweet japanese boy often stopped to stare at his work and I had to remind him to get back to his work. The cute small little boy would start daydreaming after every stroke of his pencil and I had to sit beside him to remind him every other second to get back to his work. haha.
While I was managaing these four children, the teacher was teaching three other students. I got to hand it to the teacher. Before I came, she would handle everything herself. Seeing how much I had to help out today, I cannot imagine how she had been coping. I hereby conclude these teachers are simply amazing. These teachers should be applauded for devoting so much time to these children. The children are not easy to handle. Only the sweet japanese boy could say a few short sentences while the rest would utter one or two words or simply not talk at all. Like most young boys, they are very prone to fighting one another and I had to constantly stop these fightings from getting too violent or not happening at all. One boy even tried to hug the small boy; might seem like no problem but the thing was he was hugging only the little boy's neck with too much strength, almost choking him. Nevertheless, these children have their moments when can just be so sweet and heart-melting.
That about sums it up why I'm tired, but I have missed out quite some details still. I'll be going back every week now for two hours each time. Though it is tiriing, It is fulfilling. I can't wait for next week! I already miss the children (:

Haha at first, all the nominees were going mad. We started playing "peace by the river" to cool our hearts down, then I was trying to be cool by putting on my jacket in a suave way (and succeeded), sang our band songs...people must think we are crazy. well, that's us right? Anyway, one by one they all left, and I realised I was the last nominee. Tabby was nice enough to volunteer to accompany me. There, the two of us sat on the floor and listened to band songs on Amanda's (lee) phone. We listened to Persis which was played by our seniors when we were in sec one. I was touched. The music swelled and reached out to my heart, the oboe solo (played by grand senior chia min) made my heart ache with emotion. The song was played by both alumni band and main band. Together, they sounded great. After all, that is what band is about right? To play as one, to reach out to your audience as one, and to strive for the very best as one. Listening to Persis then Pirates of the Carribean made my heart peaceful. That's the magic of our playing. So I went into the interview with a calm heart.
And my worse fear came true. haha. Before going to the band room, I was telling Tabby that I predict that I will blush. And I did! xD cos someone was muttering "councillor" under her breath and Cheryl Tong got excited. haha now it seems like a wierd reason to blush. The scenario after that was hilarious!
Val: Tian Hui! See my sleeve has so many strings!
Yun Jia: Tian Hui! My shirt so dull! It doesn't fit my personality!
Cheryl: Tian Hui! My skirt too short! My daddy will scold! (her skirt was actually below her knees)
Ros: TIAN HUI!! My skirt too LONG! I want it to be shorter! (her skirt was already halfway up her tighs and she wanted it even higher xD )
Band: HAHAHAHAHA
Me: HAHAHAHAHA
Then I got elected as band major...Tabby was crying when she got elected as drum major. She and Tian Hui made me want to cry as well, especially during the passing down of Sls. Tian Hui looked so sad ): I'm quite sad that I do not have a direct senior this year, meaning a senior in my section. Mel graduated last year and I remember last year's passing down was very emotional cos Mel and I were so attached to each other. Furthermore, there were only the two of us then. I still miss her and seeing Tian Hui and Tabby together made me sad T.T anyway, seeing ros, sun ran, peisan and annabelle graduating made me feel a great sense of loss as well. They have been there in band as long as I can remember and the possibility of not seeing them there again was shocking though I knew that day will come. Ros has been one of the greatest section leader I have ever known. Under her guidance, the flutes have covered great distances. The rest of the sec fours flutes have always been there to support as well. Thank you seniors! I'll miss all the sec fours :S And the previous committee did a great job the past year. Thank you!
Now, the batch and I are the seniors. It seems as if just yesterday that I walked into the band room as a new sec one. Time flies past so fast...I have confidence in my batch because our greatest strength is our bond together. We care a lot for one another and are willing to support one another. Another great strength is that we have PASSION for band. I believe with that, we can lead the band as the senior batch of nycb '09. It is also my responsibility now as the band major to bring the band together and work towards greater heights. It is a huge responsibility and is not easy. I will try my best and lead the band in the best way possible. I don't want to be too fierce or too soft though, this is the hard part xD But I'll still be me and kayyun will still be kayyun. Okay, not making sense =D and the committee this year rocks (:
Oh no, didn't realise I have written so much already. Gotta sleep. Nites (:

as the title says: finally, a blog.
haha, I think I'm quite random. I was looking at scones blog (batch blog of nycb) and a sudden inspiration to start one myself hit me! :0 At that moment, there was so much that I wanted to talk about here, but now, haha, my mind is blank xD
the loveS of my life. SHHHH...don't tell my mummy. I'm not supposed to fall in love at fifteen >.<
At the top is LION; special thing about him is that he goes BAAAAA instead of RAWR.
In the middle is SNOOPY; he's as soft as he looks.
At the bottom is TOTORO; the smallest and cutest of them all.
I shall think about what to say before blogging again. Haha, this is fun >.<
