sent her home liao.. sat at her house downstairs.. chatted damn long.. really.. damn long.. 1st time.. face-to-face.. then pour out everything lor. then she was supposed to go back up at 9pm to watch some china show but didnt. in the end, we went up at abt 10+ then i saw the baby hamsters. oh ya.. the mother hamster gave birth. makes pam a grandma and me a grandpa. lol.
then left at abt 11+ la.. supposed to prac but didnt.. couldnt bear to leave those babies. they are damn bloody cute. one stupidly jumped to the floor and couldnt get up. thats all i remem..
Saturday
woke up at abt 10+? went to maple. no mood to study la.. lost momentum cause of wed. then liddat la. went over to leonard's house to lesson. ya.. think i played so much better than the past. that's cause i've been practising wad.. except i didnt learn my scales well.. that's saddening. yeah.. then went over to the esplanade to borrow my "Legend" score by Philip Catelinet for my Grade 5. stupid la.. have to sign up for membership again.. 21bucks leh. nt say i damn rich la. then went back down to look for my mama. the hollywood shop is damn cool. nxt time wanna buy something for pam there. then joined my mama at the cafe. its like super nice. really. seriously. one of the waitresses look like malorie from temasek now SAJC. vivian should know her.. haha i mean must know her. afterall they from the same section la. then ordered cookies and cream shake or something. its damn nice. literally gt cookies and cream. and ordered some salmon pie. its nice. really. but damn ex. but i promised to bring pam there. yeah.. refuese to tell her where though.
Sunday
mm.. didnt go for pw. cause no pw. slacked at home almost whole day. wanna do my gp. but wtf. i lost my bloody GP BULLETIN. WTF. damn shithead la me. how on earth i lose it. i cant even remem. the last time i saw it was the monday in the last week last term. sian half. was damn nervous. cause tt bitch is gonna screw me upside down. seriously. she's a big bitch. she hates me. wads new. heng she dont care. but she'll know sooner or later.
Monday
quite some schling. cant wake up la.. nt used to it. i wish i nvr had to study. bet every student in the world would say that. which is practically impossible la. unless we are in a 3-world country. S'pore is actually a 3rd world country. but isnt cause of the low GDP caused by small population. that's why S'pore governement is smart. stoned through ALL tutorials cause i nvr did any1 except Mr.Ng's area and vol. quite difficult. after sch then sent pam home and went home prac for abt 3hrs.. long tones and my pieces.. and flexibility exercise..

"At the recent SNYO assessment held on 20th Aug 05, you have been awarded with a Grade D/Poor. This is considered a weak grade. You are adviced to be better prepared for your next coming assessment or you may have to leave the SNYO."
yeah, warning letter. i expected it. nt an E though. heng lor. after promos i shall prac.. i will. hope i'll be better and just fix my damn bloody sound, embrochure and articulation. after this i definitely have no problem. guarantee 100%. then i ponned YO lor.. she let me wad. so happy. went home read through the scale book then too lazy to prac liao. dont wanna further tire my lips. yeah yeah.. then went to slp early. didnt call Pam. sorry.
