Today we had choir again for 4 hours, extra 40 minutes for the soloists. It was really quite tiring to have to keep standing, and I felt surprised at my own weakness. I actually asked LC if the altos could sit down. Labels: choir
In my slight defense, we weren't doing anything because he was tuning the guys and the sops had gone out to do their part. Perhaps we should have gone out and done something productive as well, but I don't really know what we would have done anyway. Hmm.
Also, I stood more than other people, because during the so-called break time, I had to show the powerpoint slides for Hainan and Yver, and talk about the whole song as well, while the rest sat down.
I actually didn't mean to talk at all, just to let them look at the nice pictures for some visual imagery. I ended up talking a lot more, and the more I talked, the dryer my mouth and throat became. Pity that airconditioning makes the air dry.
After that my sister took me to the Australian Universities Medicine and Health Sciences showing at Orchard Hotel. My father told us to look at New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, Sydney and Melbourne.
Only after we reached there did we understand that it was meant more for the people who received their 'A' Level results yesterday. Surprisingly, we saw Andrew, Silvia and Ernest there. And I was the only person wearing school uniform there. Heh.
After taking multiple prospectuses from the different universities, and inquiring a little about the courses offered, we went to eat at Genki Sushi. I think it's more expensive than Sakae Sushi.
I really don't want to go overseas to study medicine. Besides the fact that it takes longer, partially because results come out too late for their February intake, and their course is also one year longer. meaning that I'd have to enter in 2010, study until 2016, and do an internship for another year, it's much more expensive than NUS.
Furthermore, I'm the least independent person in Singapore, I'm sure. I can't cook, clean, do laundry, etc. I even feel extremely accomplished when I go to the doctor by myself.
I think I'm still very much a child. Strange sentiments for someone who's turning 18 in May, but it's probably true. Let's have a look at today.
I (and Sheena) shrieked at CJ for swearing today. My sister said something to the effect of me needing her to bring me everywhere and do stuff for me, like talking to the university representatives about the medicine course. When watching Heroes with my younger sister, I was confused about the company's motives, and I asked whether they were "good or bad."
Optimistically, I could be considered idealistic. Humm-dee-dum. You know when people suddenly get all serious about stuff like, they'll have this serious/concerned look on their face and ask in a low voice something like "What happened to so-and-so", or "I think something's wrong with so-and-so" or whatever.
I dislike this kind of seriousness, when people act as if the event in question were of national importance. I'm not saying certain things are to be joked about or taken lightly, but do people have to be so... solemn about it?
And honestly, sometimes I think the situation isn't really much to be worried about. For goodness sake, why should you care if whoever broke up with whoever in a big fight? Why are you discussing whether anyone has financial problems?
I think it's nice that they're showing concern for their friends, but sometimes I think people make mountains out of molehills. Even if it's a serious matter, then after discussing it it's not as if they do anything about whatever it is.
Curiosity is well and good, but maybe we should leave the somberness to things that are really important.
