One of my fav DJs left...

Hmm.. Talking about fri... i tuned in to 93.3fm the whole morning... from the time i woke up till class starts at abt 10... knowing that it's lingzhi's last day at 93.3fm.. Ah.. quite sad leh... been listening to her progs... from XianGeJiYi to YinYueRiJi to her morning shows... quite touched by the other DJs' effort in doing recordings for the farewell.. cos i heard they only knew it like on thurs.. She's like one of my fav DJs lah... memories flow back to the days i sit thru my nights studying with her voice on radio... and i rmb her reading out my letter for XGJY..! and i even called in once during her night shows too..! And.. she was the host for both JJ events i attended... ever in my lifetime to outdoor activities.. haha. Wish her all the best.. and i hope she will return to 93.3fm again in future.. (although she doesn't know me lah.. haha)

The rest of the day was quite relaxed.. went town with 8 others for lunch... and walked ard for a while too... Ohoh.. i went into this 'The better toys shop' or something in ngee ann city.. and there's this very cute little thing.. err... forgot what it's called already... anyway it produces a melody when it's whined... basically there's small metal plates that rep a note each.. and on the wheel are bulging dots that will hit the plates and produce the note... so after a series of dots.. it will form a melody.. it's really very cute lah.. next time i will go and buy... i actually stood there and play with that while liyana and jamie were filling in their application form lah.. and that was like quite long.. haha.

Hmm.. i'm tired already.. talk abt other things next time.. Nitex..

Presentations down...:)

Phew... I cleared 2 presentations in a day... well... one of the last few to clear them anyway... let's do some reflection...

Realised i was more prepared for michele's presentation... and of cos less for mary's... some of the stuff i even only made it clear a few min be4 the presentation. =x Ok.. lesson learnt... =P Anyway... i think i spoke a little too fast for michele's one... and i only used erm... 4mins? despite many ppl couldn't finish theirs in the full 6min. but the good thing was... i didn't refer to the que cards i prepared.. at all.. Actually there's quite a few things i didn't mention... cos everyone is pressing for time... but i've got the main points delivered.. hopefully can get a good grade for it... As well as for mary's... i think my grp did a good job! thou we were kinda nervous... but we did it thru.. And mary told me personally that it's good job too. Erm.. whether it's true or not.. doesn't matter. =) I like it when presentations are short and sweet... But really it's becos i'm nervous that's why i spoke so fast~! i'm surprised too.. lol.

Anyway... looks like i can't fulfil the wish of finishing hazel's essay tmr... haha... cos i only had my first paragraph done ytd while watching Perhaps Love's DVD with sis... just can't resist the nice show.. heex. and so after the 2 hours... it wasn't very productive.. =P Anyway... try to work on it tmr after lessons... if not really dun have enough time to finish all plus study for exam... Wow... haven't had exams for almost a year i realise... Anyway.. STUDY!!!

That's all... first time so satisfied with my performance... Haha..

Public hol..

Hmm... hols... since like fri.. Haha... haven't been doing much these few days... but at least the slides for the 2 presentations are sort of up already... both on thurs!! hopefully i wun show my nervousness on that day...

Anyway... I'm going to Phantom of the Opera next march!!! Yeah..! =))) With my 2 sis and er-jie's bf... heex... but that's still like quite long... we are watching the 2nd day aftn show... And thanks da-jie for paying for it! Heex... :)

Anyway... got to start the other written assignments real soon... maybe today.... hope to finish hazel's by fri.. i mean... HOPE. haha... Ok lah... i will try to finish.. i think these few nights i'm going to work overtime again... haha.

But it's boring to be at home for a public holiday!!! haix... Nothing to do lor.. sianx. Ok... time for lunch.. bye.

2nd Assignment down. :)

Wow... I've finally finished and printed out my assignments.. BUT!! Omg.. i haven't found anything for marketing yet... how... and look at the time now.. it's 2.17am!! Ytd i slept at 3am lah.. Really haven been getting enough sleep lately... and running ard for this and that... But phew... one assignment down! =))

Oh.. happy happy my com is back.. still in good condition... not my monitor thou... all my words are like blurred and the images too... it can get to the situation whereby i can't even see what i'm typing and i can't make out what word was on the screen... after clarification with the repair man... he says that it's my monitor's prob... cos my graphic is new.. and even if it's spoilt.. it will not affect the visibility of the monitor.. Fine! And we came to notice that this monitor is almost 3 years old... and we still thought it's only here for a few months.. at least not even a year... Until we looked at the reciept... Wah!! 08/01/04.. lol. no more guarantee... =x So.. time for new one.. aiya.. wait money leh... if i've knew this earlier... we could have changed a new com instead... dotx...

Anyway.. it's good to welcome back all my documents... pictures... and mp3s!! =)) Aiya.. if they were all from CDs i dun mind lah.. but then.. some are just so difficult to find and whatmore they are so strict now... what if i get caught?? haha. so... i shall compile them into CDs.. =))

Ok... i'm really tired.. Nitex...

my music. my life (2)

Suddenly i just feel like going back to learn erhu... as in really going back.. to the same teacher... i dunno why.. always wanted to change... but then... dunno leh.. haha... i even thought of which day and what time i can go for lesson lor... lol... but then... i'm like so poor now... can't even feed myself... and i want to feed my erhu.. haha... and i know... i will have to pay all the fees myself lah... argh...

Like i said the other time about music... click here if u have forgotten... it's in the last paragraph... today i have another one... i took this phrase out of the SSO newsletter or something like that. 'Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners. She makes people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.'- Martin Luther. This is cool isn't it... Anyway i think it's saying playing music on a musical instrument... taking the time to learn and improve.. Of cos if u have known me long enough... i'm a lover for music... and i really believe it's magic... I know of this person that was kinda ah beng... and even when he first joined co and learnt erhu... he was still playful and full of nonsense.. however, after a few years when he really like the instru and learn it wholeheartedly.. i could see the change in him... becoming a gentler person really.. But of cos it doesn't apply to everyone out there.. haha... But seriously... most of the ppl i know thru music (CO).. were usually decent... nice and helpful ppl... esp. for guys... see the difference btwn them and others.. being milder and gentler ppl.. haha.. and doesn't go ard shouting in vulgarities... But of cos there's a disclaimer here: 'This does not apply to every individual'. haha.

All these just remind me of my days in sch co... haha... rmb myself as a rather serious and fierce person... esp in the pri and sec sch years... haha... Although i'm rather patient in teaching juniors and all... but i just can't stand ill-discipline like being very noisy in combines... and obviously i'll just scold... if u ask my juniors... they probably say they were scared of me during co... but outside i could be very fun.. haha... however, when i entered nyjc... it's not that i dun care anymore.. it's just that i feel that we are all young adults already.. and we could think ourselves... and we dun need to have too rigid a system... but that does not include being quiet during combines lah... so i would still ask them to keep quiet.. haha eventually even when i go to nusco now... sometimes i will naturally shh the ppl.. haha... and i'm not even the member there. lol. cos that day some ppl were saying my sis is very fierce when she scold ppl... and she commented i was worst.. haha..

But thru music.. i've really learnt to become more patient with ppl... esp when i have to teach my juniors from the start... even if i have to repeat things over and over again... and even as a student myself.. when i can't get a part right... i'll just have to practise it over and over again too.. so i guess i've built up a patience system in me... thru playing erhu and violin. haha...

Wah... thank you. i've finished my speech.. lol...

I like History of Visual Arts...

Look at the title... man.. i dun think i can ever achieve that.. haha... it's kinda impossible.. but well... i have assignment and written exam for it... i'll have to try yea...

Finally i'm down to work again... but then.. this time the progress is slower than the previous... what to do... doing a subject not to my liking... ytd night i actually wanted so much to do it... at least 20% of it.. but i was so tired i slept even be4 12... wow... and now.. i'm still not quite organised on my thoughts...

Anyway adjacent to this History of Visual Arts (HoVA) assignment... there's also 2 presentation i have to work on... and had to do research for them... and have grp meeting for one of them... i hope there's more of me... and someone.. pls give me more hours in a day! I'm serious!! At this rate i'm going... i dunno if i can get all things done on time... i must start to like HoVA!!! lol.

Ok.. i've complaint enough... let me go back to my work... sighx...

1 down...

Phew... finally finished and handed in my dance assignment today... And man... i slept at 4am ytd!! ok.. this morning 4am. haha. but ok lah.. i woke up 10+... Okok... be4 i go on to something amazing happening this morning... i actually stayed up so late to arrange and type out my interview qns for michele's proj.. and get it sent thru email to the person... cos i just didn't want to drag it any longer.. And was trying to install my printer into this lappy... so ya... that resulted my late night/early morning.. haha.

Then the amazing thing was... this morning.. at 8.16am... Terence (the person i'm interviewing) called me! omg.. after only 4h of sleep... how awake can i be right.. i dunno what i did lah.. so i flipped open my phone... stared at it for a long time.. dunno what's the no. for... i dunno how long it took me to realise it's a phonecall and put it to my ears... and then realise it was him... i thought i was dreaming maybe... haha.. he asked me to go down for the interview later in the morning.. but man.. look at the state i'm in.. i think i can nv make it there... so i had to reject him for today... and guess what... when i just checked my mails.. he replied to my email with the ans to all the qns except for one.. (he didn't understand that qns).. so what does it mean now? sighx.. so i should have gone?? maybe he's just too busy to entertain me personally.. dotx..

Anyway it felt a bit relaxed to have 1 assignment done... but not when i know there's more to go... haha.. Yupx.. so will start on the next right away.. cos deadline is next fri.. and 2000 words! Byes!!

Rush rush...

Aiya.. another day closer to all the deadlines.. haha... and i'm only halfway thru John's dance assignment... bless me. lol. but i've been trying very hard to type whatever i can lah... and something bad... it's really difficult to phrase my thinkings into real words lah.. like everything i typed was like rather weird...

Haix.. dunno how will i do for this module... but thankfully i attended all the lessons without fail... hopefully can gain some marks for being such a good student... hahaha!

And yet... another problem has to come... now i also dunno how.. i emailed both mr ken chang and mr terence ho... both gave me positive replies.. and now i have to choose 1... and worst of all i have to reject one of them... how to?? dotx... i shouldn't act on impulse... was just too impatient... but in the end both replied within the night!! so amazed... and shocked.. how now??
Need to make a decision fast... if not will not have ample time to do everything properly... wah.. let the best decision come to me!!!

Anyway... didn't really have time to blog abt what i did last weekend as mentioned as 'enjoyable' in last entry... briefly mention here... fri after class went down to city hall to wait for the rest of the family to have dinner at New York New York... luckily we were there rather early.. in fact i was there super early.. like be4 6pm... and they came ard 6.15... by that time actually the place was rather packed already... and luckily we still had seats... but as time goes by.. the queue outside became longer and longer.. when we left ard 8... the queue was still VERY Long.. so be there early on weekends if u want! anyway i enjoyed the dinner... quite nice actually... =)

Then to Ktv (Kbox) with er-jie and 8 other nusco ppl... joyce, peiying, nianzhong, jiahui, huiling, hweeming, jianwei, and changsheng who came much later.. enjoyed thou didn't sing a lot... they chose a lot of super old songs lah... and we had a great time laughing... esp the last part when they decided to try jap songs... changsheng was reciting the song lyrics out for nianzhong to sing lor... haha.. and at the end of the day... even thou the waiter came in at 11pm that time's up and asked if we want to extent another hour by simply ordering a drink.. we didn't want lah... thinking we'll be leaving soon.. but then! we left the place at 1am without extenting lor.. so what's the point of extenting at the expense of a drink huh?? so weird..

And sat as usual was prac at nus... i went becos i wun be going this week... so ya. haha... anyway i think they stopping soon also... so nothing much... anyways... we decided to stay in and ask for delivery cos it was simply too hazy outside... and we celebrated joyce's bday too..! it's actual day... and to think no one rmb until she mentioned... if i've knew.. i would rmb... but anyway got a cake for her!! =)))

Ya.. that's all ba... better go back to my assignment... if not cannot finish le... nitex!

Sianx

Haix.. the plan for dinner just spoilt my mood for everything!!! so sad lah... argh!!! Although there were many many mood spoilers these few days... generally they were quite enjoyable... esp fri and sat...

Assignments lining up!!

I decided that i should blog now cos by the time next week comes i should have no time to bother abt all these anymore... looking at my schedule.. i just have so much to do.. and i'm rather behind time.. really many assignments and presentations...

2. History of Visual Arts assignment (20/10) [1000 words]
3. Principles of Arts Management presentation (26/10) [individual 5-6min]

6. History of Theatre assignment (6/11) [1000 words]
7. Principles of Arts Management written report (7/11) [2000 words]

Wah... and the written exams were not counted in yet... so who says i'm very free and my course is easy?! haha.. compared to what i had to do in term 1... that's really a lot more... and sad to say.. i have not actually started writing yet... thou i have some of the materials and notes ready... for 1,2 & 5.. and the rest... not at all! die.

Anyway.. have to start on them already.. esp dance.. and had to be really careful with my language so as not to be marked for plagarism again... dotx... And it's really difficult to start writing an essay lah... have to think very long be4 i can come out with the intro.. ah!! whatever it is.. i have to start!! bleahx!

Anyway i have to send email to Dear Mr Ken Chang and Mr Terence Ho of SCO to ask them if they could help me to do the interview thingy... haix... hopefully either of them will agree!

2 Concerts & 2 parties...

Hmm... dunno why i just can't tag on my own board... weird!!! Anyways... i can't say who is it HERE of cos!! haha...

Oh... i certainly enjoyed my weekend!! =))) Ranging from concerts to parties... Min Hui Fen's concert was really good... Nothing is better than seeing a master playing live... and later the next day... having a masterclass with the master!! Yayness i tell u... and i recorded some of the playings.. =)) and we were still talking abt the concert on sat with laoshi... abt the 2 masters... anyway min hui fen look quite old thou she's only 61... And the qns that again arise... why the master can cross her legs when playing erhu?? not a very good example to learners.. haha... cos everyone will tell u.. cannot 'qiao jiao' when playing erhu... and what if the student ask... 'why min hui fen can?'

The other concert was ytd's dance appreciation featuring the nutcracker suite... thou it was really a cutshort version.. the dancers were very good... and it brought back a lot of memories when i was still learning... haha... the steps.. they're just so familiar.. it ended rather early.. like one hour plus only without interval... ok.. enjoyed it... thou i was a little tired.. heex.

And the parties... first was huiyan's 21st birthday... it was at downtown east... so i went down after the masterclass on sat... and wah wah wah... the buffet table actually caught fire... ok.. not the table.. but the cloth on the table.. cos when the blue cloth that is fireproof i think caught fire... water was just poured over and no more fire... but then later u see smoke started coming out of the table.. it was the white non-fireproof cloth that caught the fire... and everyone was savaging the situation.. luckily there wasn't much food left... and finally... the fire was extinguished... and soon it was cake cutting.... the cake is nice! haha... =x

The best thing that night was probably going to the arcade altogether... i think everyone had a nice time there... playing to the fullest... like we were playing bishi-bashi... wow... one of my fav back in p6-sec1 days... haha... used to play with my classmates... like teresa.. haha.. and then was the bball throwing... wah.. really difficult.. but fun... paired up with nianzhong once and with er-jie once... nice time throwing... but arm ache.. haha..

Party 2: Mooncake festival downstairs... with my mum's friends from stadium... i think i just have a pair of havoc parents that enable us to enjoy all these... haha.. and this year... er-jie and i sort of broke our tradition and we actually sang one song each to the crowd... we haven't done that since the celebration shifted to where it is now at least 5 years ago... we did that when we were much younger lah.. heex... looking forward to the actual day of mooncake festival... erm.. i dunno why... haha.

Anyway... that's like all i wanted to say... i think i still have somemore.. but i forgot what le lah...! argh. ya.. so that is it... bleahx.
