Reuben's memorial
The car rode into the carpark of Blk 137.I could hear 'Fairest Lord Jesus' being sung from the inside of the car. I knew that it had to be reality...Reuben's gone.It wasn't surprising as to see the amount of people at the memorial. Reuben must have been touching the hearts of many people. I'm glad to know that he has been loved by many. I walked into the void deck as Pastor Erickson led out with the singing. There were tears in the eyes of many. I couldn't help by to shed a few tears.
When Aunty Patsy talked about Reuben, I couldn't help but to feel terribly upset. The past than unfolded slowly in my mind. I can faintly remember going on a trip with Reuben and Shimona too East Java. Reuben was than 7 , Shimona,10 and I being a toddler of 2 years old. They were than my elder brother and sister. They took care of me and played with me. At 7,Reuben already had that natural instinct of being a protector of the smaller and weaker ones. I can't remember in details...though I wish I could remember more.When I entered first year primary school, I was bullied every now and than. Reuben would than comfort me and be the 'gentle giant'(as what his platoon mates would call him) he is . Whenever I had to wait for my mom and when he was still around, he would sometimes come and keep me company. He was a big brother you could really count on.
I'm now having this super bad headache...Have no idea why...There's this empty feeling in me...I wish it could be gotten rid off.
Dearest Reuben gor gor,
I hope that you're having a good rest now. I know you sleep like a rock...and when its time to wake up, I would be there ^.^ I've grown...no more the small girl with two ponytails you knew than...but, you'd still play with me right? We could play instruments together with JieJie :) you haven't finish recording the song with her yet. You've to write more when you're enough sleep ok?

Exams are over
Finally the exams are all over. Ever since the news of Reuben's and Jeremy's death were announced, I seem to have lost my mood for everything... Thanks Devi for trying all kinds of methods to cheer me up. Thanks Tuan Hao gor gor for the bubble tea and just being there. Really appreciate. Am composing a song in dedication to Reuben whom was there when I got bullied in primary school. Will miss you Reuben...
Would be at the wake tomorrow... anyone coming along?

Why...
It's not true right? Reuben's not gone...he isn't... They made a mistake...it ain't him...Someone tell me it is really not him...Why?
He used to play with me when I was still small. He was there when I got bullied. Than...we haven't talk for sometime and now he is gone? I haven't finish the last conversation with him yet!

Faça exame de meus sorrows ausentes
Finally finish with my main study technical exam. I shall NOT complain about the piano. ^.^ Still working on my written assignments... haven't complete them all yet... I do hope I can complete them soon.Real soon I mean...
It's sometimes good to look at things in an optimistic perspective. Lamenting all day long won't solve your problems. A good cry and some thoughts can take that nasty feelings away. Smile, even if the sun refuses to shine and the flowers forgot to bloom. *iris in deep thoughts*
Sometimes people don't appreciate the things that you do for them. Sometimes people take things for granted the thank you seem to have been taken out of its existence. What ever it may be. I do hope people would learn to cherish the things that they have while their life seems more perfect than they may ever think it is.
Keep Shinning!

Deepavali!
Happy New Year to all celebrating Deepavali today!
Yesterday was the last night of New Direction festival. It ended with the piece entitled "Tectonic" composed by our dear HOD of music, Mr Lindsay Vickery. I had a pretty much eventful day...haha...
It all started off with getting out of bed at 8am to wash up and to get prepared for what lies ahead. Left house around 10am in order to reach City Hall at 11am. I felt sleep deprived even though I had 8 hours of sleep. I reached the interchange at 10:50am. Tuan Hao came at around 10: 55am. Than we both waited until 12pm for all the rest to reach ^.^ LOL...Tuan Hao was playing games on his phone and singing away.
We headed to Mos burger to grab our lunch. Had a good time chilling out at the same time talking lots and lots of rubbish.
Reached school at 1:30pm. Started rehearsal at 2pm. Ended at 3:30pm. Than we stucked ourselves in G303 for the entire day only heading out at 5:30pm for dinner. I love the chicken rice we had for dinner. Was super good. Around 7 plus we went to watch Tim's concert. Gena and me ended up sticking ourselves in the Tech Theatre Arts room. LOL.
Everything ended around 10pm. I tidied up the room while the rest went down to clear up the mess at the green. Dad drove Mitsubishi Lancer last night. I was surprised. Haha... Super low la the car..
Off to work now..

fall asleep in the classroom...*Yawn* Tired as I am, I must strive to carry on each day. Perhaps things will turn out well^.^

No Lesson Day
Just got home from school. It's been raining...I'm lovin' it. It's the end of another week. Time flies. The next week would be an exciting week. It's New Direction Festival! A series of concerts that we'd be doing at school. Probably won't have time to update much.
Anyway,I had a pretty great day yesterday.
Went to school early for Aural class, followed by more history lesson with Sensei and a series of more presentation at pedagogy class. All those lessons ended at 3pm. Half the class went for lunch with Sensei. It was a quite fun taking bus 65 to Orchard, making noise and eating together. While eating, we realized that we couldn't make it back in time for Mr Tan's lesson. So, I decided to sms him to inform him that we'd be late (Aloysius kindly typed the message). His reply was quite surprising..." It's okay. Thanks for informing. I'l take my time to drive down." Cute huh.Class ended at 6:30 and I was late for rehearsal at NYP. Took a cab down which took 30mins to reach. Everything ended at 10:00pm. Had dinner at 11pm and slept at 12.
Gotta go..
