I love Vietnam. I really do.

And thank you everyone for all you've done for us! [:

Longer post coming up soon once I finish my diary/blogjournal.

Whee. The past two days haven't been all that great. Saturday, not much to talk about. Went for meeting in church at night, agreed with my dad once a month no tkd for One Voice. In the end my mom went bonkers, and yea. At least I've got good counsel from other sources. And yea, maybe this is God's plan for me, this chance to evangelise to my family.

Today was... really nice. Ber doing my prayer request really touched me, and I really felt how the people around me responded, Rachel especially. Thank you. (: I know it'll be alright, so yea. All the way, David. You can do this. Nick and Daniel talked to me too, prayed for me, so I'd like to thank them too. And Bertrand, for yeap giving me advice. I really really feel that going to PMC has been the best thing that's happened to me in my life so far.

Maybe the next two weeks away will give me some really needed rest and relaxation, away from all the troubles in Singapore. TOFU planning hasn't been that great, family stuff too, and of course there's always the boredom. But with this escaping from the headaches comes avoiding the enjoyable stuff too. Taekwondo classes, One Voice practices, caroling practices, TOFU team meetings, outings with anybody. So I guess I break even. But it gives the opportunity to clear my head, at the least.

Talking about TOFU, I think Kyle did a great job today. Harsh, but only rightly so. Thanks for waking the team up, yea. We needed it, although some of us need it more than others. >< And there really isn't any need to apologize, I understand where you're coming from.

Yeap, so tomorrow leaving for Vietnam at 1345. Okay, last well-wishes. Rachel, have fun with your family trip. Kelyn, have fun in Chiang-Mai with the kids. Everyone else without exams, have fun during the holidays. Everyone still having exams, JIAYOU OKAY. :D

And yes. I'm rambling. Ttyl! Hopefully I'll be able to get a computer in Vietnam. ;D

Whee. First day of holidays. I have nothing to do! xD

Okay actually I have things to do, but later. First, past two days.

Monday, second last day of school. Movie marathon, watched 10 Promises I Made to My Dog. It was quite sad and touching. Like quite a few of us were crying/sobbing when Socks died. Haiz. I just can't deal with the idea of mortality. After that, classroom clean-up. Did nothing! Oh, somebody stole Wendi's money. Ouch, man. Ouch. But that was that for that day. Three thats!

Tuesday, last day of school. CLASS PARTY! (And Ping Yen's birthday) The cake was uber chocolate luh, I couldn't even eat more than two slices. Dark chocolate to the max. But otherwise, damn fun. Then off to auditorium for YH Assembly, quite okay luh hahah. The walkie-talkies are super fun! Lol, don't mind me. Then down to the field, sang batch song, watched plenty of balloons being released. We didn't even know the batch song lyrics! Hahahahhahahha. To the hall, headmaster's farewell assembly, sang a few lines from "You Raise Me (Us) Up", after that boliaoed. I can't fathom why anybody would take a fire extinguisher and use it in a project room, heh. Okay, that's that for that day.

And. What's on today? Nothing, cept for church stuff in the evening. Camp publicity! LOL. And slacking in church; I got El to go! Wahahahhahhahah. So random, okay. So, caroling in the night, before home sweet home. I don't know, can someone explain to me, why do my parents think it unsuitable for me to be out until 10+? They don't mind me going to school until midnight, and school's farther away from home than church! It's not like I'm going to church to party or whatever random stuff. How much can happen to me in the half hour that I'm going home? I hope God sends someone who can explain to my parents that I'll be okay, I'll be fine. Because I sure can't, but I want them to know that I can take care of myself, at least for two times a week.

But until then, it's boringness at home. You know, I foresee myself playing random lame games throughout the holidays. Heh.

Ciao!

Hmm. Yesterday was a whirlwind of emotions haha, if I can't find anything else to describe it. After school, went for rehearsals like 4 hours straight, then had a short break. Popped by Bishan stadium to pick something up then chiong back to school for final briefing. So nervous la!

I wonder why she's so freaked when I ask her to help me. >< Never mind, didn't need it after all. Lucky I decided to let my hair grow, emo-ness ftl. Lol. THE CROWD WAS FRICKING HUGE. Okay. So before you sing/act/whatever, you have to get into character right? Lol! Game face on, then.

So yea, when I went up I was freaking nervous. Just included that in my song feeling luh haha. Ms. Kuo is just too critical. Ask me why the tone of the song so emo, I tell her it's supposed to be sung that way, she say she don't care. Wthell ._> And personally I feel that because the judges aren't professional, they're swayed by the audience and the fan base of each contestant. Which is bad, seeing as my fan base is so hopeless. Haiz. In the end, consolation prize (what was it, a handshake?) >< Mr. Law's comments were just plain... weird. Heh.

Congrats to Greg and Aaron, heh. I'm jealous about your fans. Especially Greg. Lol! But still, congrats. We all deserved to be up there (contrary to some people's beliefs), but oh well, it was the song choice and the audience that mattered in the end. Have fun with your MP3 and PSP.

I don't know, I personally really don't know how I fared. I think I did okay, but some people said I was great, others said I failed, or I sucked. I don't get it. I mean, I know some people who really say what they feel, and they said I did good, but the others, especially those that don't really like me (pfft) just said I sucked. It's expected I guess, but I don't know. I personally think I lost out because of fan base and the judges ><

Okay comments comments. Mr. Raymond Png, good voice, good looks, good feeling. Thanks sir. Mr. Law, EYES TO KILL??? Whuuuut man, I didn't have eyes to kill. Angry, sad maybe. Not to kill. Big diff. And what was that about your mother's favourite singer! >_> Ms. Kuo, I shall reiterate myself, Saosin said that this song was about their disappointment about how people are becoming depressed because of stuff, and that their encouraging them to live through it. Go listen to the real stuff, seriously, because the song is a sad one. You can't possible change a song to make it sound happy, that would be just wrong.

Ahbi, can we try to get more professional judges the next time round? >< No offense to the judges yesterday, but some of the comments were just unnecessary, really.

I don't get one more thing, you know. Why do so many people think I faked the song? Just because you've never heard me sing before doesn't mean I can't sing, and just because I sound different means I can only sing in one tone and then my other voices are faked. Wthell. >_>

Anyway, overall a good performance, a good show, albeit a bit disappointing on my part. FAN BASE RAWR. But I don't know if I had fun, I don't think I did. I think I have more fun jamming with a band and all that. Heh. Maybe I'll try again next year, we'll see how it goes.

Cheer up, David, it isn't the end of the world. You just lost a measly singing competition! No biggie heh.

I wonder why God didn't answer my prayers. I'll never understand Him. I prayed for support, I got booed, I prayed for calmness, I was freaking out. Haiz. But I shouldn't doubt Him, it's all in His plan.

Okay. Bowling with the guys from church later. Ciao!
