great, now i feel like an idiot. FSO only starts on friday (not thursday), and i conveniently went around moaning about how i'ld be missing two days of choir, since being the blur person i was, i very smartly went according to my not-at-all reliable memory instead of checking the FSO proposal. it's just, fantabulous.

(FSO is foreign scholars' orientation, for the uninitiated. okay brilliant, now on top of being an idiot, i'm making myself sound like...a bossy, know-it-all. wow.)

anyway, it's almost scary in the sense that we haven't even been instated as full PITs (or gone through training camp, at any rate), yet we're already getting a foreshadow of what's to be expected as one, what with being placed in committees for various school events. as much as i must say it is indeed an experience to be cherished, i can't imagine how life would be like next year.

ohmygosh, wait! read this:
'PITs: most of you (except those in SLI) will be deployed in either/both Orientation and Reporting Day committees as comm members. '

ahh i scream in delight! xD that's something to look forward to, in any case. i want to be a class i/c for orientation, haha! but on second thoughts, does 'PITs' in that e-mail refer to the current batch of sec2s, or next year's? ohwell, i shall be (not falsely, i hope) optimistic and take it to refer to us.

(actually, it's still quite weird thinking of ourselves as, umm, PITs. especially when we still don't have a batch name.)

i sound egotistical, and possibly, deranged(!!). oh well, i guess i'm just like that at times.

i haven't gone down to getting emotional about one-eleven's imminent separation (ohwait, i already mentioned that in my last post, silly me). i don't think i've gotten to grips with that yet, and come to think of it, i don't think i ever want to do so. but it is inevitable, sadly. (haha, two sentences before i said i'm not being emotional, and two sentences later i start sounding as if i'm going to reminisce and go all teary.)

as to rgschoir, i shall desperately will myself to concentrate (on remembering everything that wujie&marytan have said, on drilling into my brain that deo in exultate deo is pronounced as 'dey-awh'(?) and nothing else, on pitching, on being sensitive to the dynamics and on how the list is going to continue) and to stay committed. it's tiring, i must admit, but at the same time, i must say we're getting a lot more done and it's gratifying, despite 3 days x 10 hours of singing being something that doesn't exactly seem much joy at first glance.

oh, and i must learn to not lose my mind so easily during technicals. i'm aware it's all for my own good, msloo's patient and awfully good at helping me nail down my ahem pitching plus other stuff, and our lovely seniors won't laugh at us (after all, it's the mistakes that everyone laughs at, not you as a person, to quote the lady who came in for public speaking, i forgot her name), but i still can't get over the fear, dread, i-don't-know-what-to-call-it. there's still so much i need to learn.

thirteen days, eleven practices to prague&vienna. (and sadly, why is it that so many people don't know where prague is?!)

(random note: sometimes i'm glad that i have a short-term memory, at other times i don't.)

i sound egotistical, and possibly, deranged? you can say that again.

or zongmin, in english, chinese or - okay, not really otherwise.

lives, writes, sings, plays the piano, and attempts to sound intellectual at times (conclusion: fails rather miserably).

loves music (almost strictly classical, hurhur & inclusive of faziolis!), literature (& also the sciences - no they are not in conflict), making hopelessly lame puns, laughter, white/milk chocolate, cheesecake, the world & the people in it. list not exhaustive, by the way.

wants the world to be filled with peace, joy and love, and also wants (perhaps a little more selfishly) to be happy, plus lead a life of purpose. that would be more than enough. (:

oh, and she likes embarking on her own 'free hugs!' campaigns after exams and the like; not really sure why. D: (at any rate, you can tell that she's random enough.)

very plain, she knows; but this is probably herself in its entirety - nothing more than a compilation of perhaps-boring-to-you little things (and the occasional Important Event), but also nothing less than all the brilliant memories which constitutes her life, and perhaps yours.

also interpreted as an inability to express with other things but words (nothing more, nothing less!), although even words sometimes won't do enough. but she does like orange.

v2.0 (230208): maybe solid grey isn't that fantastic after all. but wordy is good, all the same. she's weird, she knows.

ver. i-pretend-that-it-is-3.0-when-i-know-it-is-not (070608): i am boring, take that. (:

v4.0 (200908): got bored, so cut down on the quasi-fanciful stuff even more. perfectly plain now, though somehow the background still doesn't work on safari / google chrome. ):
