meet the brothers,

Day of Excellence is finally over. It was like centuries! :P

Yesterday, I was assistant to the judges for the entire day. Sat there, chitchatted with Shab, and kept on getting up to give Judges Forms to the honorable judges. It was a really simple job, but it kept me occupied. It ended before lunch, so after lunch I did some work and then went with Zo to Melissa's. I will repeat again, her house is like a hotel okayy. Luxuryy. :)

Come to think of it, I don't understand why everyone always thinks I'm always with my sister. Like, on that Wednesday, I wasn't with my sis in 1U and Gilbert goes, "eh, where's your sis?" Geez, I don't have to be with her all the time you know. Yea, so I'll state it out loud, I had freedom without her at Melissa's cause she went to Kamdar with Jon, Wee, and Isaak John after school.

So, by the time I came back home, it was like 5.30pm and my sister wanted help with costumes. So I had to dress myself up for a trillion times in my skirt and cut cloth for her, etc. We did that till dinner, and after dinner we had to go grocery shopping with the parents. Literally, my day was really occupied.

And today was, scary. I've been having the cough lately, and I was so sure that I was going to cough during my duet with Raquel. The nervosity was killing. Raquel got a fever right before lunch, and we had to perform right after lunch. Guess what? I didn't cough, but I could hear my voice shake.

As for the chorale we practiced for like crazy, it went quite okay, I think. I think it would of been better if we each had a mic, but there wasn't enough, so it probably was hard to hear the harmony, echo, and the boys. But, I'm really glad it's over with, cause I've had enough practices for a long time. :)

I didn't take any pics, but anyways..

Today's also a very special day. Someone just turned 14. Woo! Must I repeat, I love that number. :D

A very blessed birthday, Matthew didi.

Yeahp, this my super duper wonderful younger brother of mine. ahaha. I know, he really is older than me, but I wanted a younger brother, not a older one (cause I already got a super duper great one) so therefore, we reversed it, and I'm older. hahah. After all, I'm sure you'll all say I act older than him, yea? :P

Well, let's see. When I first became his sister, he wasn't so daring. ahaha. As in, we talked, hung out, but it was so formally, it was kinda freaky? hahah. I mean, you wouldn't reconize the same Matthew now. He is such a younger brother. Just like a real one. And what more, he isn't scared to annoy me. Like he's constantly annoying me by contridicting what I say, repeating words. Guess what's the latest? He tapped me with a yardstick, and I turned the wrong way to look and he was laughing. And he gets people to poke me for him.

I could go on, but it would all come up to this. He's just the Matthew that we all love. Thanks for being the person who you are, yea? (:

Luvs! =)

oh, and yes. My big brother rocks. :D
When you graduate I don't even know how I'm going to survive. I bet I'll cry like crazy, maybe not in front of you, and I'll hug you a billion times. Who's going to be there for me when I'm pissed, and to defend me from my sis? Who's going to be there to constantly ask whether I'm okay when I'm sick or sad? Who's going to be there when I need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to hug. Jon, no one can ever replace you. Love you.

Yep, both my brothers rock. (:

EDIT 

Happy birthday Natalie Zoe! (:
I miss the cute you. You're growing up too fast. :P

D.O.E.

Can you believe it? I didn't even post anything yesterday! hehe...

Anyway, let me walk you through what happen the last two days of D.O.E.

First of all, thursday. Boredom. We sat in the chairs taking pictures and studying Galatians and Mark! hehe... posers!

Sarah, Me, and Raquel

The excitement and scared-om started when we had to compete against Klang in the Scripture team quiz! Scared to death man! I got cold! Yea, we still posed still. Except Roberts!

Me, Sarah, Jon, and Lydia

After that was a time of watching other compete as well as stressing! We ate lunch also! A very squashed lunch!

Next, the instruments! Beautiful music!

After singing and worshipping God.


I really enjoyed myself! But it was tiring! Seriously, at Cg last night I almost fell asleep! Dear me! hehe... I didn't enjoy wearing formal either. Maybe next year I shall sing a solo. Maybe only... hehe...

That's it...

D.O.E Around the Corner

Part of my email to someone in Maine:

Hmm, what's happening over here? D.O.E. is tomorrow! It stands for Day of Excellence which is something like the Academic Fair in The Master's House. Yea, I'm sent a watercolor painting in and I'm in a Scripture team quiz and a chorale. It's something like a choir. It was really funny during practice today! I couldn't stop laughing as much as I tried to stop! Bad part... have to wear formal clothes on Friday! Can you imagine me in formal clothes? Never man!

So now you know what I say to my friends! hehe...

Well, yea, this is what happen during chorale practice. We go in. Start playing skipping rope! Fun.Fun. Jump.Jump. hehe... it was so funny seeing the tall boys trying to jump with such a short rope! Funniiiee! Then, we started to practice when Pastor Stephen walks in. Then he asked us to change our positions! Our new one is super embarrassing! I am right in the front! With Sarah. The two short ones. How embarrassing! I hate it! And worst, you can hear everyone singing and so it's so hard not to laugh!!! Seriously, I was trying my very hardest to stop! Wishing for laughter control tablets.

sometimes it feels so unfair. Seriously Paul Lyn! When are we gonna disappear to U.S. and see who misses us? I can't wait! Ready for October? [no one understands but her] right? you guys don't even know what I'm talking about. I'll tell you a clue. We're talking about a 4 letter word. Wait, or maybe 7 letters. NO OFFENSE...
