Soaring for freedom

hey ppl! im back.. anyway.. the children's choir in church today went quite well i suppose.. hee.. got compliments from the congregation and well.. it was ok.. no pic yet.. sorry for the waitin.. which is if there's anyone waitin for the photo..

went to shao mu today.. qing ming festival.. ya.. pray to ancestors.. today.. it was to my grandpa's parents.. my great grandparents.. it was located around bishan area i suppose.. alot of ppl were there.. well.. as a catholic.. i've nvr been to such a place b4.. it's not a temple but the things they sell, incense paper, paper clothes and etc for the dead, makes it very chinese.. hmm.. anyway.. my dad bought 2 big boxes.. which, the contents are clothes, money and necessary items for the dead.. well, there is even a difference of which content is for the guy and gal.. very interestin rite..

b4 tt, we oso went to ntuc to get some fruits and items.. my grandaunt bought some kuay teow and vegetarian food.. there's kopi-o too.. we put and arrange the stuffs we bought on a table and waited for a nun to come over... i think she was to pray and communicate to the dead tt the gifts were for them.. with the incense, prayin and all.. i guess my greatgrandparents should be happy.. went inside the buildin to find their place inside the columbarium.. well... there's alot inside lor.. but all seems very long ago and old.. some very dirty too.. my greatgrandpa's urn was quite clean.. and located at the '6th'level while my greatgrandma's urn was quite dusty and i cant quite rmb where it was located.. we paid the person-in-charge so as to help us clean the urn.. hmm..

anyway.. once all was done.. we packed up the fruits and food and separated it between our family and my grandaunt's family.. thn.. we went off to another place whereby this time, it's our 2nd grandaunt whom we are payin respect to.. we didn get to see her urn as the place was closin for the day.. only manage to burn some incense paper for her..

i think tt this is a very unique experience for me as this is the very first time im doin it.. i think i will be gg to visit my graves and columbarium this yr.. i haven been doin so in the past yrs as im quite afraid of such things.. hmm.. well.. the experience is still very special.. this is such a unique chinese tradition which is almost like the chinese new yr whereby all chinese pay respect to their ancestors.. hmm.. ok... there's sch tml and i guess the results for common test will be out soon.. good luck to all.. and enjoy..

tml's biology common test and i've yet to complete revising even 2 chapters.. yesterday was drea's bdae and we had a very enjoyable day.. went to novena in the mornin so as to get the bands but nvr attend novena.. thn met the guys at cine.. really all guys ok.. im the odd one as usual.. crystal and abbe already had a plan to keep drea out of our view.. she's accompanied by crystal and grace the whole day at padang for softball thingy.. the rest of us.. well.. 'planned' her a surprise.. not all of us la.. the guys except for abbe all went dotaing and me and abbe went jalan jalan for drea's cake and present! well.. and we bought her a chaco sandal.. all of us shared money.. so ermm.. total of 9 ppl sharing.. hehe.. ermm.. ya.. so many ppl share.. so price abit ya.. hee. ok.. shant make it too obvious cuz drea is too smart.. and if she happens to read my blog.. tt's it.. haha..

we waited for her at funan's swenson's and damn.. the manager attitude sia.. so much for the 'good service' campaign for singapore.. swenson's somemore.. but i like the other manager.. the older one.. he's more attentive and tried to accomodate our needs.. not tt our attitude was bad to them.. come on... we've like spent $195++ in tt place.. abbe lit the candles for 3 times and the candles were damn short went drea arrived.. had a wonderful dinner after tt and we went off to eat the cake.. couldn eat it at swenson's as it was considered outside food.. :p.. when we gathered somewhere near the toilet..cut the cake and eatin on the floor.. we were chased by the security guard... i think he thought we were huvin an illegal gathering.. pls lor.. we dun look like juvenile delinquents ok.. pissed..

from there... we proceeded to padang to enjoy the night and take photos! haha.. took alot sia.. from posin to jumpin.. dorts.. the guys were damn funny lor.. so many actions and poses.. and the E4s.. dorts.. got ready to go home after tt and when we saw tt bread talk was huvin sale.. all buns at $1, we went in.. as most of them are guys.. they were still very hungry and of cuz.. bought a few buns.. went on walkin to the bus-stop searching for 190.. as i went there b4 durin the sports talk at kalang.. i recognised the bus-stop and when we missed the bus.. i gace instructions to run to the next one.. without knowin if it was the real one.. lucky we caught the bus.. if not i'd huv been clobered by the guys for runnin for wrong bus.. worst, wrong stop.. the journey home was tiring.. and stressful for me.. as i was about 2hrs late from the given time to reach home.. when i finally reached, no one was at home.. damn.. ok.. and my feet got injured due to tt stupid slipper.. haiz..

today.. there was children choir practice.. only a few of them turn up due to lack of communications for the parents.. they obviously didn rmb or depended on us to remind them over and over again.. well.. then after tt, went home.. and slept..

initially, i came online to blog so as to tell u guys tt i found the place where i can really focus and take in whatever i studied.. and i end up giving such a long blog.. ok.. ironically.. even though it stinks, i think i can focus best on studies when im in the toilet pang saing... crude as it sounds but it's true.. okok.. star idol showin.. bye!
