i love NPStrings
It's amazing how time flies when you're having fun. 5 weeks of poly life has zoomed by and it has been awesome. I think it's mostly because of NPStrings. It's the most kickass CCA ever. Right now 2 of my seniors and I are arranging this JJ Lin song for strings ensemble. And it'll most probably be performed in a concert. How awesome is that?! Not only that, we get to be coached by professional musicians from the SSO. And we have great CCA members and seniors and teachers and everything. I look forward to CCA every time (well, except for Tuesday), and while we're waiting to start practice, when I'm not at the piano playing nonsense I will be looking around at everyone and being grateful and happy that I'm in this CCA.
You know, I'm starting to think that being too short for SYFC might not be so bad after all.

depressed...
SYFC visit was as bad as I had feared. Not only was I tormented by the sight of the rows of Piper Warriors that I would not get to fly, and the SYFC alumni walking around with their wings at the front of their uniforms, I didn't bring my camera, so I couldn't take photos for A.net. It has been more than a month since my last shot got accepted. I wonder when my next one will be.
So we had a short briefing about the club by a representative, and I could only listen glumly as the guys around me talked excitedly about joining. We also had a tour of the facility, led by our senior, and I got a chance to go inside one of their planes. When I told my senior that I couldn't join SYFC because of my height, he kept saying 'don't be sad!', which of course made me sadder.

STFU
This Saturday, we'll be going to SYFC to visit its facilities. Right now we're watching this video about it and I just can't describe the dejection I'm feeling. I don't want to go there and look my broken dream in the face, but for the sake of CCA points, I have to. I think I will be permanently depressed after the visit.

laptop is fried...
My poor laptop is dead! Yesterday I plugged in the adaptor to charge the battery and the computer shut down immediately. Then I smelt something burning and realised my laptop's insides were being cooked. Needless to say it wouldn't start up anymore. So now I have to get it serviced or hopefully get a new computer, but the problem is that Lenovo's service centre is located in friggin' Changi...!! To make things worse, I can only go on Friday, but I'll need my comp for Tuesday's Computer Programming lesson!!!
They'd better give me a new computer! And I'm thinking of trading it with my dad's smaller and lighter and better-looking laptop. Dunno if it's possible or not.
I'm really enjoying poly life! I'm starting CCA from tomorrow onwards, and I can't wait! I've successfully auditioned into the main string ensemble, despite having played cello for only 5 months! I was even asked to teach cello-playing basics to the freshies, albeit temporarily...
Also, I'm finally quitting French! Because when I went to sit the placement test, the teacher said that even the highest-level Intermediate 202 was too easy for me! I told her that my reason for taking French was to get the Diploma Plus certificate, but she said that O Level French was better. And she encouraged me to quit. And that's what I'm doing!
You know, I'm starting to dislike the weekends! Because I really love going to school! And now that I'm in CCAs I like, poly life promises to be a blast! Woohoo!!! :D
