This is the first time I've been out of the house for more than 12 hours straight. I know more or less how band practices are like...especially since I've had them in AMK before. I was already out of the house at about 8 plus, had to report to school for this O Level briefing, only to find out it was a waste of my time since I wasn't eligible for the PAE exercise as I'm already under another scheme- DSA. So I had no PIN number what-so-ever printed on the sheet of paper...but hey! I'm still blithe. Because this is the first time I'm awarded a Silver for my CIAA award. Cool huh...I've been seeing "browns" for the past 2 years...so, yup, it's rather an improvement.
And it's confirmed! I've scored A1 for my CCA. This is despite the fact that I'm not a leader or anything...for me, an A1 is an A1. Whether it's a borderline score or way beyond that. So I've earned 2 bonus points...hopefully I score below 20.
After that, I headed straight to AJ for band practice. From 11pm-1pm, I had "sectionals" with a J2 senior, Sue Lynn. I said "sectionals" because we spent most of the time talking and chatting rather than really blowing our instruments. I think she's rather fun...and lame =D, ha ha!
Then it was lunch and we went to AMK Central's MOS Burger. Resumed practice at about 3 plus...and it was all the way to 7 plus. I was half dead by the time I reached home...just in time to catch 5 minutes of the ending of Goong. Luckily I taped the whole show. But I think if I carry on like this, I'm not sure if my body can really endure the gruelling schedule. Considering I still have to make my presence in church choir practices, Sunday Service committments as well as piano lessons a week.
However, I think such a hectic schedule can also be looked upon as a blessing in disguise. If I work myself until I'm half dead, then I wouldn't find the time and energy to contemplate on other things...to think about things that inflict pain on my heart, thoughts that bring tears to my eyes the moment I reflect on them.
I'm looking forward to year end...December will come...and a new year will begin. I would want to start this year afresh...but yet, I'm afraid of leaving my friends...people that I know, that shared so much together with me. Feli, Elaine, Rach, Sal, Le Ying, my flute section juniors, my 2/5 and 4/5 classmates. I just loathe knowing new people, to start with the same stupid questions like "Where are you from?", "Hi, I'm Candice!", all these introductions. On the controversy, I know that if the old don't go, the new don't come.
So I've come out with a resolution: WHY CAN'T I KEEP THE OLD AND EMBRACE THE NEW? I WANNA HAVE MY CAKE AND EAT IT! AND I WILL!!
