From Rachel's tagboard:

WTF LA XIAO AN. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. Craaaaaaaaaazy.

( Band Investiture )

I'm going to miss you. You're not an it - you're an entity by itself, band. To think that I'll hardly get to touch or feel my loved saxophone for God knows how many years, when I've been living on it for nearly 6 years. It's a sad parting, bittersweet - more bitter though. I don't know how exactly to describe how I feel, it's all the more complicated to understand. It's more than hating or loving the band, you just can't leave it. Rather, the cliche comes to mind: you can take the person out of band, but you can't take band out of the person.

Parasitic eh?

The PTM today was uh, quite useless for the most part. Which meant, the part where we went and met Lao Shi for the most redundant meeting ever. :\

But omg, my dad should like so win an Emmy for the "psycho dad" award. Have you watched "8 Simple Rules to Dating My Teenage Daughter"? God, he acted exactly like the father there. Our game-plan was for him to simple ask why the fuck I wasn't picked for enrichment and would the school help me get an A if that was possible? But nooo, he had to be the drama-papa and suddenly go on this typical Asian father mode and starting condemning my C and how I was lousy and horrible and needed help and I needed remedial and why didn't I get an A!!!

O_o Woah dad. And he refused to make eye-contact with JTan because he wanted to project this FIERCE aura - which obviously doesn't work with JTan - and she ended up giving up trying to make eyecontact with him and just focused on my mum and me. JTan though, was lovely. I was tickled by her introduction which went something along the lines of "Hello I'm Mrs Tan, ahah Tan and Tan!" and my mum went, "Ah, yes I'm Mrs Tan too". X3

So again, she came up with that whole line about how I write too exuberantly, and too vivaciously and while that enthusiasm is a boon, it is a bane because examiners tend not to like (as Mr Kurtz Leon puts it) exciting writing styles. I need to write in a more boring manner, apparently. D: Egads. But yes, my dad snorted when she said that I was too exuberant and that I took extreme stands when I write (uh... aren't you supposed to TAKE A STAND but COUNTERARGUE, which I do?!?! I mean, I used to sit on the fence, but they didn't like that either) which made me quite mortified. But overall, JTan's quite confident that I can get straight As? Hurhurhur, what a farcical joke! But anyway, she's managed to convivnce my father that I am really quite good and uh, one of the better ones and that I do not benefit from the mass general enrichment and that I should just have consulations with her. Haha, compliment or what! I'm quite... relieved that she really does think I'm something. SOMETHING. She was telling my darling father that I need some tips for exam-management because I uh, underperform and flake out.

The biggest joke though, was when she made my father LAUGH by telling him how I always joined in T06's fun instead of trying to get them to toe the line. Hahahaha T06 DO YOU READ THIS? Guess dressing up as the Indian Man wasn't such a great idea afterall! The guys in T06 are much more fun after I did that crazy stunt. Alright, I'll keep you guys in line - but fun is fun after all. All work and no play makes Baba a dull girl! Still though, haha I'm amused that she thinks that I can actually keep the discussion mature - when I don't take part in the discussion.


Met Rachel Law after PTM for an afternoon of god-sent, heavenly, foodgasmtastic pastry and cake tastings. Oh God, the pastry at Provence and the Mont Blanc at Cafe Rosso are the absolutely most gorgeous gorgeosity (pastry) I've ever eaten. I will never look at pastry and cakes the same way. God, Rachel, I love you for bringing me there. I will need a whole entry by itself to describe the cakes and pastries by themselves.

I had an awesome time with Clare in the late afternoon! I love her house, and her brother Mr Kurtz the infamous Leon Ryan (I feel like I'm doing some classified ad) was the epitome of geekiness - albeit the cool geekiness. <3s! Geek culture! All geeks of the world unite! I fell in love with her ahahah, lazy cat Spider, who stole my glass of water and like, left fur all over me. <3333s

Okay. Kateigaho time.
