hi pple. jus got back from arts camp 2day. eh..not really got BACK today lar since i've been goin hm everynite aft e activities. tis is 1 camp tt i dun feel lyk stayin overnite AT ALL...i dun usually ahf comments on camps cos they are either fun or average. But, tis SUX...truely.

wad we did? nah..i shld say wad I GET TO DO. 1st day went there den they nv plan any ice-breakers 4 e freshies so end up freshies THEMSELVES tot of games to play..and they played for a couple of HOURS. diaoz. Den evening diff grps perform, ok lar..mai hiam..den aft i zao 4 NPS practice--> ah..tis is more lyk it. Den went hm to zzz.

2nd day, i wanted to participate in games wif MY GRP but the GLS of my grp keep tellin me "GLs no need to join" n i kept saying "i m a member" but i m in fact lyk PRIVILEGED (cos i dun need to join their games) but also lyk an EXTRA (cos i dun GET to join in). End up, i got pissed. Den there is tis event lyk campfire nite, where e P n heads of NP will come n decor haf to b done in e convention, so i volunteered to help along. End up, i went there, den e DECOR TEAM of arts camp DUNNO how to decorate...n PANICK there...end up, I came out wif lyk more than 10 designs (not v nice too), den i tink they panick le so they tink its all nice, n i told dem WAD to get n stuff n sheena2, tiff n me decor...wad e...but aft, i dun feel mad..maybe cos e decor turned out ok..and CERTAIN pple appreciate it. Aft generating e ideas..i got v enthu..n even went to props room, wreck everytink to help. in e midst, i lost some of e zest cos i saw e rest slacking..n wanted to 4get it le. Den sheena2 said to me, "Y r u lyk tt. U always tell me, if u wan to do sth, u will do ur very best. U said tt yao zuo jiu zuo dao zui hao, bu ran jiu geng ben bu zuo..." i noe tis might sound common to all of u. But when i said it, i really meant it. So when she told me tis, it jus really got to me again, so i chiong all e way till its done. i guess tis sentence of mine really influenced sheena2 n tiff in a way ba. its lyk a phrase tt we will say to spur us, in a few instances ...we jus repeat it to me or dem..n it somehow pushes us along again. i tink i m NOT a high-flyer, but i jus dun wan to let others down in some ways. Simplicity is wad i dream of in fact, but there r tinks i haf resp. to do...nah...dun digress 1st.

anyway, today was e last day, went to sch n waited for dem to break camp..i duno wad to say abt tis camp...the time-management sux...and it lacks discipline too...nvtheless, i really appreciate some pple's afforts lyk zhongze and noorin for sometinks they haf done lar. apart from tt..wanted to go trim my hair today..but was too tired..decided to go hm slack..next day baz..haha...

tml's guitar day....yippee..practices r fun...even if practice alone..lolx..start to luv all e strings instruments from NPS and violin is nicee-nice...hehe...

*actually i blogged more jus now..but my explorer hang..so tis is as much as i cud recover...now no mood blog le...maybe retype later..*

today is a v de SUAY day. shld hav gone out as usual n it will b a fine day.

slpt v late last nite abt 3+am. mum barged into my rm n woke me up 9+am. she was lyk naggin tt dad argued wif her cos new printer isn't workin n dad showed her face. (N she has to get it back on me?) she told me to call dad back to settle it. to prevent further commotions, i got up immediately and called dad. He told me to find e invoice for e printer cos he said he copied e service no. on it. altho i was slpy, i looked thru e WHOLE invoice but i dun c ANY service no. so i asked a few more times to make sure. E next tink i noe, he started yelling at me non-stop. Diao. I controlled again n just got e no. frm him (cos he remb? double diaoz) n i called e service line. Spoke to e person, went to check e printer as instructed n stuff n realized tt its faulty. So end up they had to changed a new printer for us n i had to fax e invoice over n stuff. So i did. and cos i abit bu gan yuan, i went thru e whole stack of papers n stuff tt my dad has and i found e no. he said previously on ANOTHER brochure. (so i m sillly HUH? nvm.)

was really v tired so i went back to slp. less than 1/2 hr, mum force me go eat breakkie. i forced myself up cos i dun wan to say more n went to kitchen. she was cooking stuff for her frenz n told me to do tis do tt. Den i find it weird when she ask me to place tt particular ingredient in e pot (tho i was still v blur) so i asked her lyk abt 3x whether i REALLy shld put tt ingredient in, den she jus nodded n i put it in den wan go wash up. A few min later, she realized wad i did and she started screaming n yelling at me too...den start saying mean tinks..n she can yell n link to me not staying hm...getting gd grades but not havin COMMON sense...me being plain stupid n alot of other stuffs..i dunno how she ever managed to but somehow she did..said it v crudely..i was damn blur n mad at e same time alr. I tried explainin but it was no help. Me being me, end up rebutting her a lil' cos i was quite mad tt i had to take all this s*** rite from e MORN till den. Den she finally said "fine. U win ok? U win. Now stop UR NONSENSE n end it. "

FINE. now its MY fault for EVERYTINK tt happened. Sure. i stopped. i went back to my rm, sat on my chair n jus kept quiet. wanted to cool down. As if tinks weren't bad enuff for my morn, my mum came in wif 2 baskets of clothes n told me in a harsh tone tt i shld iron it. Said i haven been at hm so 2day since i m hm i shld contribute...i could haf fairly went out as planned. But becos i noe tt i haven been spending much time at hm wif dem, i tot i shld start today and its really FUN so far i must say.

I jus cont to sit on my chair, den my sis was sick, but she sorta heard me getting all e s*** n she came in...at tt time, i jus started sobbing..haha..cos i cant believe i chose such a day to stay hm..tok abt family bonding to me now man.

Her fren came in e arvo and she started telling dem how silly i was to put tt ingredient in e pot and more...den when dad came back, he wanted me to do stuff for him and acted lyk nothin happened...den in e evening, i went to pick my guitar...played softly and my mum came in, said tinks lyk, "everytime hear u play a little bit, but nv a full song, play 1 now lar...IF U CAN LOR.." Wah...THX ARh MUM.

Really shld jus go sch..den meet sotong go simlim and stuff man...wanted to spend time at hm..i get such treatment...really SUX big time today. But guess wad, i m getting immune to it le. they haf been saying tt its realli hard to comm wif me these days le and i agree...cos most tinks i say sumhw gets distorted or wad when it passes thru their ears..explainations become defends for myself and requests from dem are clearly orders now. and they wan me hm but they screw my entire day when i m hm...noe tt they love me n care abt me n i do too. but e way of expressing it is totally WRONG. BIG CROSS. Haiz, nvm. Its ok. I will still b a dutiful kid to dem no doubt abt it.

Tml's my grandma's b'dae...will not join dem for dinner but will b goin over to her hse from morn cos parents cant make it later in e evening. Hope tml's a better day. gonna touch piano tml. oh..n sims2 is fun. gonez.

*its raining now...pitter-patter...rainings so hard..yet so calm in me."
