This weekend was one of the most fufilling weekends i've ever had. Weekend meaning Friday to Monday haha.WE GOT A SILVER IN THE 25 AND UNDER CATEGORY FOR THE CHORAL FEST!!!
AND WE WERE 4TH IN THE CATEGORY LIKE WHAT??
(also we beat NJC hahaha. by 0.5 only though xD)
Like seriously only 35 12-18 year olds participating and yet such good results. So proud of nush choir now aaa.
Listened to Ms Mariko's recording of our performance, and omg i never knew we sounded this good. What we hear is very different from what the audience hear...
Gonna miss them so much when i graduate :C Especially Ms Lim D:
I don't wanna graduate :<
But then next year we'll be joining the choral fest again so i'll probably be going back to join in the 25 and under cat... as an oldie HAHA.
Went for Natsu Matsuri on Saturday even though i was feeling pretty tired due to lack of sleep, but it was still enjoyable. Bon odori!!
I pretty much hobo-ed on the mat the whole time though oops haha.
Performed at Sentosa on Sunday as part of the choral fest outreach program. It was quite short and informal though, not many people watching.
After that i got to watch the grand prix!! There were only 6 complimentary tickets and over-the-counter tickets were all sold out so only the oldies and seniors got to go... Eargasm the entire time hahaha.
After the grand prix was the closing ceremony where we waited for our results with my heart almost jumping out!!
Also, free ride in Ms Lim's car xD
Monday was choir exchange with a Chinese choir and Queensway Sec.
And Ms Lim bought us cake for celebrating haha. Pity Ivy wasn't there for it :/
Ms Mariko also declared no cca for Friday, though honestly i'd rather have cca lol.
I should really start on uni apps seriously now... it's already almost September...

Man, today was such a luxury for me.No lessons except chem prac. Didn't submit the chem ws on the day itself because i was rushing off somewhere and the teacher wasn't in school anyway lol.
Dropped by the library and chanced upon some really interesting books. (in the psychology section)
Particularly a book titled "Reading In The Brain; The New Science of How We Read".
Reminds me of a Japanese book i wanted to get, also about reading.
I'm gravitating towards the psychology-ish books now hahaha.
Spent a while in the library. For some reason the library's a very comfortable place for me.
It's not really a place to study for me haha.
I really miss the times where i can just spend half a day at the library enjoying aircon and books.
Now if i have time i'll be doing work. And more work. Sigh.
I wanna reaaddddddd D:
Also had delicious strawberry cheesecake ice cream :DD

Haven't blogged for more than a month huh...
I just had my MEXT interview today. It's pretty much the final hurdle.
I was surprised that there were only 3 interviewers lol. The middle guy was stern-faced the entire time hahaha.
Idk if i did well though... totally went in red-faced because i was rushing to the embassy.
I was actually really early but i thought the interview was at 10.50am instead of 10.40am... luckily i realised in time orz.
I do want to do uni in Japan but at the same time i'm kind of... worried? Like i'd have to take courses in Japanese, do exams in Japanese... ><
I still wanna know my MEXT exam scores though. Particularly for math, which was quite challenging.
Even though i'm already at the last hurdle of this really good scholarship, i really don't know if i really want to do my uni all in Japanese :S
I totally need counsellinggggg. Ahhh gdi i don't wanna think about it.
Also i wore some oxford heels for the interview today, but my toes hurt like crap ugh.
It was even that high... like 7cm? But it wasn't a platform so i guess my toes would hurt.
But i think it's because my feet are wide :C

The first week of school ended nicely :D
First choir session and i didn't die, so that's a good thing haha.
We're going for some choral festival thingy and we don't have much time to practice so Friday cca sessions are now until 7pm :S
Well at least Monday sessions aren't extended. If they were i'd wring someone's neck seriously. Monday's timetable is terrible enough with english, PE and bio.
Sat for JLPT N2 today. Wasn't too bad, i think my grammar mugging paid off so i didn't have much trouble with the grammar section.
Already have some mistakes for vocab though ><
The paper had quite a number of vocab that i didn't know... but it didn't affect my understanding much. Hopefully? haha
Listening was yabai though orz. Don't think i'll do that well for listening... hopefully a 45/60 D:
I didn't do listening practice at all afterall.
Also sensei was one of the invigilators hahaha. He was all "how come you're taking N2??" xD
I want As for all components and at least 150/180 can i make it :/
Well, results will only be out in 3 months or so.
Gonna take a break from mugging Japanese and do the more fun stuff like ANIME www.
Also. No school tmr 'cause youth day WHOOHOO.
