aahhh..i love the song i'm auditioning with! so in love with it.
~beautiful one, i love you
beautiful one, i adore
beautiful one, my soul must sing..~
hand pain from all that guitar pract.
something exciting - OUR DANCE GOT IN!!! we're to perform in chapel sometime..no idea when. but just got the news that we're in! can't believe it. thought they hated our dance the way they were glaring at us. freaking out now. no way i'm gonna dance some ethnic dance in front of the whole sch!!!never thought we'd actually get in!
so airband's taking over my life right now. practice, practice, practice every single night till midnight. lack of sleep. but its fun. but so hard to mouth the words and dance at the same time!auditions are tmr..hope we get in!put in so much work alrdy!but it was gd..got to bond with lotsa pple from my dorm.although its mostly freshmen who are in airband.
getting into the routine of classes. not dreading them so that's good. we're actually reading this bk, 'living your calling' in my communications class. how cool is that? having that kinda bk for a textbook! but chem still sucks. especially chem lab. cuz me and my partner are complete idiots. we always end up doing everything wrong and getting inaccurate results so we're always the last to leave the lab. and no wonder. i'm a communications major and she's an eng writing major. no science for us!
i need chocolate!

first day of autumn~
today's supposedly the first day of autumn. and its nice and sunny! but kinda windy and cold too. the weather here is weird. one minute it can be sunny, the next the wind is blowing and its freezing. still not really used to it. and alex (from my floor) and i finally decided on a song to play for the TCA auditions! its called 'beautiful one' and we're doing the jeremy camp version. its a great song!!really excited.gonna prac really hard.but not really worried about getting in or not, cuz i realized i'm super busy, and this will make my schedule crazier.haha.so i'll just audition and leave it up to the Lord.=)
anw, just got back 1 hr plus ago from our brother n sister floor retreat..was really fun=) got to know new pple plus bonded with the girls on my floor, so it was cool. supposed to have a bonfire but it was pouring. so we played cards and like 6 rounds of mafia.haha.such a funny game! then we had worship in the sanctuary, led by the guys, and surprisingly they sang song i knew!happy.cuz usually the hymns they sing i dunno.
super tired by then. hardly gettin much sleep this whole wk. watched 'glory road' in the movie room and fell asleep. then woke up arnd 3am and got really energized.and watched 'breakfast club'.its an awesome movie!!loved it.

=)
I, am going crazy!!!!super duper busy everyday.no time to breathe.seriously.am totally overcommitted. cuz everything just sounds so fun!!i wanna be involved in every event!! haha.
had auditions for chapel ministry of the arts on mon.me and some international girls formed a dance team n did this ethnic indian-y dance to a gospel version of 'awesome god'.haha.dun laugh.and dun try to imagine me dancing.least of all indian dance.not funny.but we practiced SO hard, and they made me stand in front!stress.not like i'm gd or anything.and the pastor in charge gave us this glare, like why are u dancing, dun u know dancing's prohibited in the Life together covenant that Taylor has?(which is a really stupid rule)so..dun think we'll get in since he hates dancing.ugh.my toes really itch to jump whenever we sing fast songs in chapel.but i can't.cuz dancing's against the rule!
anw i got package in the mail today!~!~from suanggita n jocceeee!happiness.love gettin stuff in the mail.thanks SO much for the wonderful bdae prez!love u both!wasn't really lookin forward to my bdae actually..first time not celebrating it in s'pore.kinda weird.but will be goin on a retreat with our brother n sister floor on my bdae, so..would be fun =) and another retreat next wk with MuKappa. and next wk i have like 4 tests, one paper due, and auditions for airband and Taylor Christian Artists (TCA). craziness. haven't started on anything! anw TCA is this organization where they put indiv musicians in bands n they play for sch events n stuff..so..hope i get in!anyone with song ideas, tell me!
so everything's fun.except classes.chem is boring the heck out of me.most of the stuff is sec4 revision which i have absolutely no interest in whatsoever.ugh.but the teacher's nice though.he lets me sleep in class.but the result of that is there was a quiz on fri which i didn't know abt, and i totally failed it.haha.oh well.here they expect u to read the syllabus.come on! who reads the syllabus??its just a piece of paper we toss aside n find again at the end of the yr during spring cleaning.
foundations of christian thought is pretty cool.get to learn abt different worldviews vs christianity (of cuz christianity wins).
public speaking used to be terrifying.but its pretty fun now.the pple are really funny!!and i did the object speech last wk, and used the song Jesus, lover of my soul to represent my past, present and future.and i actually SANG in front of the whole class of 20+ pple with my guit.craziness.it didn't occur to me that i was actually gonna do it until the very last min.so i panicked for a second n then went in front to deliver my speech.haha.nervous!!but when i watched the tape of myself yesterday w my professor, i looked calm!she said i was confident and calm up there, and i was like, whaaat???i thought i was shaking like a leaf!but evidently no one else thought so.so i got a 9/10!coolness.the only thing i could improve on was to speak louder.heh.like i don't know that already.its kinda hard to be understood sometimes.need to adopt their accent for certain words to be understood.but hey, i'm still a s'porean at heart.=)

finally
It's 12am and here I am, creating my new blog after much persuasion by everyone. Falling asleep soon, but kinda excited about this. No idea what to write though. Except that this week's been crazy, and it's gonna get crazier. Got so much to do and so little time! Feel like I've got no space to breathe. Swamped with hw and activities. I think I'm overcommitted. No more chapel band for me! At least not this semester. Have to wake up at the break of dawn at 9am tmr for chapel! promise to post all my pics really soon! Going to bed now to rid myself of these cravings for chilli. don't you just love all this black? =)
