Ok.. so I've been tagged by Ade to do this.. and I can finally do so after my exams... So... here goes.. What's weird about me? I think I'm quite normal lehz...
These are the rules: Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog!
1) I used to keep my sec sch and jc notes and stuff... Like for a couple of years after graduation. For keepsake, memories and also to remind myself I did F. Maths. hahaha... I htink I still have my MEP and maybe some Geog notes in some cupboard at home.
2) If I take afternoon naps, I will have problems going to sleep at night. I will end up being in a semi-asleep state and I will have very vivid dreams that is usually scary and unpleasant.
3) I am an avid gamer, choosing computer games over watching dramas.
4) I can get pretty obsessive if I want to. I will search for all related movie clips or news articles of people I support and spend hours reading/watching them.
5) I can be extremely childish if I want especially with I'm talking to my sister.
6) I like brainteasers... like Sudoku, crossword puzzles, logic puzzles. That's my idea of fun! :)
Gosh... ok.. so I'm weird... erms... people whom i wanna do this have already been tagged by Ade... So... I shall be nice and not tag ppl!

The things I do when I don't feel like working would be...
to surf the many various sites I have on my favourites list.
Revisiting some forums a couple of them 'just in case there are some new posts/updates'
Start posting replies to topics in forums that I usually just lurk in the background and read.
Play games found in the forum
Listen to a MV continuously. for like 5 or 6 times. (Ok.. at least the song is nice)
Procrastinating going out to get the drink that will signal the start of work for me.
And now, I'm finally going to get my drink, close all my browser windows and maybe find a way to lock up IE and Firefox. Wahahahhas... It's 2.09. Wish me luck! :)
*Oh ya.. and I forgot one more point... blogging about it!*

Just finishing up my meal of lunch/tea or rather, it's more like dinner since it's almost 7 pm... Ultimate Indulgance I think...
What did I have?
Let's see... One cheese-filled sausage with bacon wrapped round it. Sinful ya? 2 buns, a slab of butter, a sunny side up with a runny yolk the way I like it. Plus a serving of salad - lettuce and carrot.
See! I know how to balance my meals... and well.. *shepishly* it's my first big meal of the day. Had a bowl of super sweet muesli before I went for class earlier. Ok.. so maybe I should manage my eating times better... Hahahaha...
oh.. and I bought a can of lychees at an exhorbitant price (ok.. not so much in the Swiss context, but from Singapore perspective, it's indeed quite pricey). So that can be my dessert.
Life... has been busy. with what? I am also not sure. Well.. the workload has increased as the term draws towards the end. Just had my one and only presentation earlier. One more paper to write and 2 more exams to go. Not to mention, settling travel plans - booking of hostel and flight tickets due to some last minute changes. 3 more weeks and I'll say tschuss to my room in St Gallen.
Ok... on top of that, I have been spending a lot of time doing irrelevant, time-wasting stuff... like surfing the net and playing games. Sounds like my life back in Singapore no?

Just heard the 2007 NDP song... 'There's No Place I'd Rather Be'
(http://www.ndp.org.sg/multimedia/audio/index.html)
It's by Kit Chan... and the lyrics are just so reflective of what I have felt and experienced these 3 months. (Yep! it's the 3rd month I'm in Switzerland today)

Just read a post over at Char's blog.. which struck a chord and started the memories started flooding in...
I particularly like this sentence (which Sheena, a junior said) and I quote: "There's a distinct difference between striving for the best.. and trying to maintain your top position... the former being more fulfilling."
And I realise and can fully understand what that meant...
My memories of VJ was singing in the choir. Maintaining her 'legacy' and position as a top choir in Singapore. I especially like singing in mixed positions - where I would be standing with someone not from my own section - to me, it was a challenge. Because almost everyone there had strong music background, it seemed that we spent little time on learning the songs, but more of learning how to execute it. But there is the challenge of attempting tougher and challenging songs in various languages. Now, I probably can't remember much of the songs I've learnt.
And of course, I remember the stress of having to perform well cause we are VJ choir. The high expectations and striving to meet them.
It was a good experience - going to Prague, singing at the Esplanade, performing in concerts.
What started me out onto the path of choral singing? St Nicks choir.
And in contrast, SN choir was, well, not as accomplished as VJ choir. For the first couple of years I was there, I would say we were quite a dumping ground for girls who couldn't get their first choice of CCA. We were initially unadventurous - sticking to songs with accompaniment (in contrast, we hardly did any songs with accompaniment in VJ).
Yet, in SN Choir, I remember the struggles - the struggles of attendance (ie: getting people to come for practice), the despair felt after failing to teach the sections how to sing their parts, the difficulty in putting the song together.
I remember also, the 'individual testings' we had to go through under a certain Ms Toh. The fear I felt before my turn because I didn't want to incur her wrath.
Other fond memories - going up to the roof of the new extension after a particularly bad practice, the playground, sitting in the canteen enjoying ice Milo and shortbread.
The songs we sang were definitely simpler and even though SN Choir is such a long time back, I still remember the words to some of them ~ Silver Lining, Donna, Laudate... I remember learning the Hallelujah Chorus in Sec 1. IT was massive! and I like Jubilate Deo! :)
This was where I first got acquainted with Victoria Concert Hall. The steep steps up and down the stage.
And you know what? given a chance to relive my moments in the 2 choirs, I think I would choose to go back to the time when I was a SN choir gal more than a VJ choir member.
=====
Meanwhile, I reek of lethargy. Can't bring myself to do stuff. I have less than a month before I leave St Gallen. It's getting tough. I feel like hibernating at home everyday. I hope this phase passes soon.
