HAHA this is hilarious. "I'm an investment banker, so if you ever need someone to take care of your... assets..." I wonder if my sister ever used that line on anyone >) Bonus points for Wicked theme that plays in front :D 

The more I think of it, the more my little junior reminds me of myself. 'cept she's going through at Sec 2 what I went through at Sec 3. And beyond. I shall miss her, and my other little juniors. The ones I speak to, that is. But - its over. And I'll never touch an Angklung again. Its hard to believe. I keep thinking the school will come up with some ridiculous reason (cough artsfest cough) for me to play again. 

I spent the entirety of the day being unable to breathe. And the entirety of last night. No, its not as poetic as it sounds. I really couldn't breathe. Moving on. 

Having trouble finding a Lit Pt group. =_= What's new. So yeah obviously Kim and i should have spent the time right after getting the Lit Pt finding a group rather than fangirling what we could do. But STILL. We were sitting in a group of five and the PT is max 3/4 people! I didn't want to um, not include anyone. Have a feeling that such problems are going to continue well into my time at HCI. FML. I've made a decision, btw! Going to HCI. :) And I won't regret it. (I hope.) Though I find it vaguely amusing that when I needed to make a decision, I put in Defying Gravity to keep me from backing out in fear. THE POWER OF MUSIC~ And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free! 

I keep thinking how much I will miss everyone, though. :( But as I told my little junior, 若是英雄，怎么能不懂寂寞？

 A conversation today in Bio RA Class: 

Jinghan: Esther, why do you study so hard? I only study the night before my exams!
Denise: Yeah, me too! 
Esther: Well, I have to study more because I have a bad memory, so it takes a long time for me to remember all the details? 
Jinghan: Oh. Well yeah, that would be quite a barrier. I memorise things really fast, so its fine for me 8D 
Denise: Yeah me too I have a photographic memory so I can just picture my notes in my head! 
Esther: ... 

I swear, that was almost as annoying as the time when Anni burst into class like ten minutes before our Physics RA test and was like "hey guys what is being tested I didn't study at all!!!" and then still aced the test. =_= 

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life?

And I am sixteen right now! I still don't feel very different, but I feel very loved. :) thanks so much guise! to everyone who wished me happy birthday be it in person or on facebook and everyone who got me something and people who didn't just for being there. i love you all a lot :D I wish I could thank all of you individually but Philo AA calls D: I love you all v. much thank you for making my sixteenth birthday more than just another dreary day at school :D Thank you for the cake and the letters/cards and the cookies and the drawings and the hugs and the incessant singing and the pencils and the models and the toasts to my health (lol). And of course thanks my most awesome family for taking me out for dinner and for the cake and the scrapbook and the book and everything, i <3 you all so much :) 

Oh 411 we should so use this for a nice, slow, meditative class video :') I remember playing this song during the SPH Competition back in Sec 2, ahhh. :) 

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

...And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend

I cannot die without having watched this musical!! 

Esther: I got a 3.6 for Bio ): 
Mother: Huh? Why so lousy?!

Esther: Today in Lit, Denise suddenly let out an anguished cry! When I asked her what was wrong, she said, "Bidam dies today!" 
Mother: What? Bidam dies? 
Esther: Yeah! He dies a really tragic death which is sad because I LIKE BIDAMMMMM ): 
Mother: I like Bidam tooooooo! 
Esther: I like him better than Yu-shin! Bidam is awesome and fun to analyse <3 
Mother: Yes, and he's so sweeeet <3 

-

So I did pretty well for Physics RP (which has shut my mom up on the subject - at least until I get my RA results back), okay for Lit and pretty sadly for Bio ): ): ): I am sad. D: And there's still a million and one things to do, I am SO behind on secretarial work Mrs. Abbas is going to kill me. Bio RA PT and Philo AA and SS AA and SS PT and AGHHHH. D: 

In other news, happy birthday Ariel~~~ 

 Dinner in the Lim Household: My dad, my mom and my brother crowded around the coffee table watching a Korean Drama, and me with my computer watching youtube videos of old Disney songs whilst doing Physics. We are such a pathetic, modern family of the technological era. 

Cadenza on Friday was fun and awesome :D Though the journey there not so much so, I shall not discuss it here but it was tiring, eczema-inducing, and, on hindsight, rather exhilarating. Oh the things you do in your youth. The taxi driver had such a pained/amused look. Well done band peeps! *hugs yah'll* See you didn't have to freak out after all :D 

Finally listened to Viva la Vida, and it is stuck inside my head. :/ I also have the urge to rewatch the Lord of the Rings, sigh. Those DVDs are just sitting there... 

Also, stupid Physics RA test coming up. FML. 

I don't want to go on a holiday this June. Thanks family for screwing up my plans. 

"The real world is the best teacher there is." 
"And also the cruelest." 
"We must leave fate to its work. Goodnight." 
"Farewell." 
"We part on an interesting note." 

 BIDAM

:')

:'( 

(those two smileys kinda sum up everything I feel about him.) 

Also, CONGRATS OM PEOPLE :D 

1. Happy Chinese New Year/Valentine's Day, everyone! :D

2. Watching Glee (thanks hecatedarkmagic !!), just finished episode two. :D I feel kinda guilty for describing it to my parents as "a show about choir," though...

3. I don't want school to start again ): But am looking forward to Percy Jackson on tuesday with Aofei, though :D

Being wrong about everything, not being able to stop, not knowing, loving more than I am loved (which is so frightening, though slightly selfish), not leaving anything behind.

Today was a nice day. :D Seeing Charlotte again was awesome, as always, and I liked hanging out with the band clique again. :) Doctor's appointment went well, Bio Prac wasn't quite thaaat fail (given the usual standard of Denise and my pracs, haha ^^) and scrambling around a math puzzle with Shawna was funny, though kinda sad because we totally sucked.

Thanks for your notes, 411~
