Hortpark to Vivo, Project, Sunset and Rainbow

Have a great saturday! :)

Was quite surprised that i could wake up so early and reach school early! lol. I reached at like 7.40am. Yeah! All ready for the nature walk. :)

The little packed snacks for us.


In the bus... on our way there..


The starting point... the other side also very nice wor.. next time want to explore the other side too. Started from here. and a game to play on the way. each student was given half a map. of odd cutting edge.. so they have to find the other half. and they would be partners along the way. have to get to know each other. (i was excluded cos there were odd numbers. lol. heng ah. =x)


The first section... Flora walk. quite a number of different flowers along the 2 sides. unique flowers.


Then Alexandra Arch (i think). Hee. it's just a overhead bridge actually... but a beautified one... and quite nice i feel. Towards the forest walk.


This is how the below of the super long walkway looked like. and it's about this height all the way through. Quite scary to look straight down and walk. =x


This is how part of it look like. Very tall right!?


Some of the grp on the upper deck already.


End of forest walk and towards the Henderson Waves. A very nice place!!


Look so cozy and all... like those rooftop garden. i like.


The waves. Had a small rest here while had the interactive section. i.e. ask the questions on their partners... like where they are from, what they study, what they like and blah blah blah.


End of Henderson's Wave... and now it's to Mount Fabour and Marang Trail!


Managed to see a few monkeys on the way.


The Marang trail. i asked my colleague already. raining will not spoil the road. so after rain still can walk. that's what she told me.


End point: HabourFront :)

Was super tired and warm after finishing it. slept on the way back to school. lol!


high-tea with jamie and caiwen after a short meeting at nat lib with sijia. after lunch she went off for her thai lesson. the 3 of us were trying to find a place at raffles city to sit down and discuss further. Decided to go Canele cos the Macarons look super tempting.


Nice box and menu. hahaha!


So we bought 2 each and went inside. funny lor. we forgot that we will have to pay the 10% SVC and GST also.. lol. But they were really nice!! :)

Didn't come home too late cos i was really tired. i fell during the meeting and deep asleep on the train lor. power right. But i was in a super good mood ytd night. cos of the beautiful sight i saw.


Saw this when i was coming home. Sky colour very nice. so i shot.


After that my mum said the sky very red so i went to see and got a even nicer sunset picture. It's really beautiful! I went up to the 15th floor corridor to take this... and while going up i was wishing for a rainbow and tada!!!


Got rainbow!!! Big and beautiful!! :))) it actually stretched across my block... so first one was taken upstairs on my living room side... and the second one was taken from my kitchen. Damn pretty. Supposedly there were 2.. but the other one kinda faded already. can try to spot on first picture.

Feels like a dream come true! :)
Happy to be near the nature and see the nature. :)))

Cat! :)

Removed blog song for the moment. sometimes i cannot stand the music ringing too. lol.

Was bored at work... so browsing some videos and found some interesting ones...
Relax for a while and enjoy. :)

Very cute cat! haha.


Cool gadget.


Dolphin: Amazing animals!

自作孽

早就应该知道结局会是这样。
但是消息传来的时候，还是会有刺到心的感觉。
如果当初不坚持，心里会不会好过一点？
早知道是这样，不是应该放弃吗？
也许现在也不需要那么痛苦了。
只是当初的决定已让我无法退出了。
我只能做到最好。
‘最好’到底是什么？
视线已经模糊了。
是累了吗？是哭了吗？
知道不能挽回吗？
也许人生就是如此。
我越来越不像我自己。
不知如何解释。
不知如何解决。
更不知如何面对。
但是现实是不会改变的。还是要面对。
这个我知道。
就算中间会有更动，还是会一样的。
这个我也知道。
关系不一样了。
这个我更清楚。
不清楚的是原因。
现在也不想知道了。
也许从一开始就是如此了。
只是我不够敏感罢了。
说罢。

Aiyo.. i like very free like that... At work now lor.. =x

How i wished i dun have to work and will have all the time at home. HAIS. For studies (intern) and for money (part-time)... Have to do it lah... Well.. Just bear with it for 1 more month and i'm off! Must always rmb that to motivate myself.

Sometimes i do feel that i deserve what i'm facing now... if i've started out earlier... I might be better off now. :( And i chose to join sy also... so i have to bear with it too... Plus this year they decided it's still better to have sectionals every week. thus the more busy schedule than last year. hee. but it's better too.. at least for my section. :)

And then i still have the free time (i dunno where that free time come from.. usually during work =x) to organise gathering! lol. Some relaxing time is good still. But i think i relaxed too much over the last week.. these few days have to do something to compensate. hee.

Projects... assignment... Thesis... Report! Bye. Lunching soon. :)

OMG!

Dun be alarm... that's my arm/shoulder being bitten my mosquito(es) last night while i was sleeping... I happened to not cover my blanket ytd. and dotx. this was what happened. Damn scary right... there's like about 20 of them!!! Some are more to the top so couldn't be seen.. Some are smaller... so can't be seen in the picture... and there are 3 more on my elbow.. too far to be taken together. Crazy. No wonder i felt itch and i can feel that i was scratching myself in the sleep...

I woke up knowing that i have some bites.. so i showed to my sis.. she 'wah' when she saw and said it was bad... i went to look into the mirror and 'wah' even louder... i didn't know it was THAT bad... all red and swollen... -.- wah liao.. somemore the 2 sisters complained they got 2 bites each.. after they saw mine... they nv complain liao. lol!

还是很痒!!!! Argh. go and sleep le. rmb my blanket tonight.. just in case.

Draft 2 deadline

Phew.. like finally.. but i think i like forgot something. =x But hopefully this one will be better than the last.

But then... i did my best liao... although i kinda slacked the afternoon away by going ktv with sis. lol! Am i crazy or what?! But maybe i just need a little relaxation time and some 发泄 time too... And i feel really good after that man.. just that at the same time i felt very tired too.... i dun think i dare to go back and see what i typed just now. hahaha! I like falling asleep... But then... i think over the sleepy time already... so i'm like awake now.. -.-

Anyway i nv thought i could type such a long document. up to date it's like 31 pages!!!!! That's including some annex and the cover page and contents page.. blah blah blah.. but still... that's crazy enough for me. now it's like what 7000+ words. faints. think i still have lots more to type... still got one section. :)

Ytd i was shocked that i stayed up till 4am. Actually i wasn't really tired... just that i'm afraid either of my family members will wake up and find me still typing away in the living room. so i went to sleep. actually i think i fell asleep quite fast. =x

Tmr's a day to enjoy a bit too... :) Early celebration for dad's bday. Yeah! Anyway it really feels damn good to be able to wake up late.. i can't wait for my holidays to come! lol.

Going to sleep le. nitex.

Allure 2009

Some backlogged events not updated. =x

Last Sat went to watch nusco concert with er-jie.. wasn't quite the original plan... haha. cos i wanted to go to eawards party instead... but the weekend before that.. huiyan asked if we want the 2 tickets she had left... so we went lor..

But well... the concert turned out to be better than i expected.. haha. i feel that the audience rate of a concert really depends on repertoires played.. and this concert is pretty much well received. :) i think i still prefer traditional repertoires. haha! So sometimes orchestra should not try to be funny to play some dunno what songs. =x

For nusco, i haven't been sitting downstage for a long time... like 4 years?! lol! mei xiang dao i also perform with them for so many years liao. and it really feels a bit different... and i guess it will be the same in future when i stop going to sy ba.. And actually i feel prouder on stage. haha! But whatever lah... quite lucky i didn't join them this year... really busy until i want to die liao.. still want to take saturday away meh... not like my saturdays are free too lah. hais.

Anyway... weikang was on stage... much to our surprise... haha! We were sitting quite in front... (behind Mr. Phoon and the pianist's family). haha. so we managed to catch his attention when they just came out... and we were gesturing to each other like... why i not performing and blah blah blah.

The first repertoire, which was composed by Mr. Phoon, was a commissioned piece by nus. erm... not really a bad piece.. but it's the theme kept on repeating... and they played it like twice.. the opening repertoire and the encore piece... -.- so i kinda got the tune stuck in my head for the rest of the night. haha!

Pipa solo was good too... considered the fact her hand/arm was injured some time ago... it's commentable. :) And i think huiyan is getting used to it... or even... liking the feeling of being a soloist. haha!! Somehow i think she played this better than cao yuan... good for her. Jia you ba. :)

Fei Tian was still kinda scary.. lol!!! But better than the last time we heard lah... lol. And it's like one of my fav songs... haven't heard it 'live' for a long time. yea...

Tian shan was ok too... except for a few notes which went off a bit... but other than that it was an enjoyable song to listen to... i think she sure will have chances to solo again... perhaps on a bigger scale.. then plus the good piano accompaniment... not bad leh!

Last repertoire was Yellow River. Omg. if i were the soloist i would have been really nervous.. cos EVERYONE can see my hands through the projector. First time i see something like that. they actually put a dv beside the piano to capture the soloist's hands onto the projector. it's like damn cool. but quite scary too. haha. some of the chords he might have gotten wrongly... but i think overall it's still a very good performance.

And that night we had very very good audiences!!! No one clapped before the song ends. I was so pleased... hahaha... And this shows that almost all or most are music veteran... and so they know... the concerto hasn't ended yet. I love this kinda audiences because they dun disturb the musician. if someone clapped. i think i will roll my eyes. lol.

After that... stayed a while to talk to some nusco peeps... well... no more supper cos concert ended like 10+pm. Missed the days which we have the concert in the early evening... Better! dunno why they wanna change. sians...

But if there's the time and chance... i think i want to go back there to play again. i mean... it's where i gain a lot of sight reading experience afterall.. and through the concerts which feature very traditional CO songs... i've learnt to like them too... rather than these really new ones. =x So i dun really mind. somemore the ppl there are like... also know for abt 5 years liao... why not? if not enough erhu ppl next time.. can find me. haha!

Anyway. That's all. Thesis is going on well... i hope. =x

what a start

In a bad mood... cos this morning... 3 suay things have already happened on me..

First... i woke up late. So i had to rush....
Then... i couldn't get up TWO 67s cos there are just ppl who doesn't want to move back... So in the end i got to take a train. (not to mention i'm a bit late for work)
Third... I realised i forgot to bring my office door pass. -.-

What a start to a day... i was angry cos 67 usually empties up at the mrt station. And i feel injustice to have to change my routine because of some selfish ppl who didn't want to make more space for other commuters. they probably didn't want to move in cos afterall they are alighting soon. but hey! there's other ppl who wants to take the bus badly so dun be such a bitch can. Argh.

But was lucky that i got a seat in the train anyway... not quite crowded.. and especially many alighted at bugis with me. sian-ed.

WAH!!! Damn sian to start a day like that right! :(
Hope it will not be any worse cos i'm running to a lot of places today.

Need to pick myself up.

Think i lose focus in some things this past week... but i will quickly get it back..

Felt very guilty not being able to do what i promised my supervisor... supposed to meet her today... but my stuff wasn't complete so i dun want to waste her time... so i told her i'm not ready to meet her today. HAIX. But at least it's better than going to see her with the same things from last session. *shakes head*

SYCO prac was like... ok lah... but then i think i'm like the lousiest inside liao. lol! and i'm like the only person who haven't gone for any erhu lessons for such a long time. Like what 4 of them actually applied for concerto listening?!?! that has never happened in gaohu section. lol. i think cos last time we all too lousy le... and not ambitious too. But well.. It means that i have to practise harder!!! haiya.. not where got time... after i grad ba... sure more time than the rest. haha. and by then i think i can start taking up lessons again. "It's not whether i CAN or not... it's whether i WANT or not. If i WANT, i CAN!" :)

Anyways... to my beloveds... i posted on the cogang blog and no one commented!!! sad.

Well.. back to work for a while before i knock off. sighs.

Tiring Work and Studies and What-not.

Weekend was like tiring... actually everyday is tiring.. haha!

But then again... i chose this route... so i guess i have to live with it for another 2 more months! If u still dunno how busy i am... you should.. at least for this month....

Mondays: Work, SYCO prac
Tuesdays: Intern, Class
Wednesdays: Intern, SYCO prac
Thursdays: Intern, Class
Fridays: Work
Saturdays: Project days
Sundays: Work

On top of that i still have 1 biz plan project, 1 arts policy project, 2 biz plan essays, 1 IBL logbook and report, and 1 freaking thesis. I think i'm crazy to give myself this amount of workload. I wonder if i can ever finish them. But dun worry... i will not do what the ntu student did... i'm not that brave.

Like crazy... been the last to return home every night lately. actually it's VERY sian... Saturdays are the only days which i have a little free time for other things... well.. Other than the project meetings lah... But even sat also cannot stay at home and sleep leh! haix. A sad thing to say lor.. Haven't had a good sleep for a long time. :( I want to go back to my 宅女 life!!!!! I mean like seriously. I love that kinda life man.

Anyway... Saturday was Appreciation Lunch @ FCC. In the via didn't go cos she sick. And then i was late. causing jason, shafiq, reena and singling to be late too! hahahaha! so when we reached there.. MP already speaking to the CO. lol. We didn't go in lah... waited and waited... Reena wanted to go KFC buy drink so we went down... in the end when we go up... they started eating le! -.-

Actually also did nothing much there... just eat eat... talk talk and watch some parts of the concert dvd. Saw some long-time-nv-see ppl. Zixin!! hahaha.. Ok lah.. actually it's all the mco ppl. haha.

Then after that went down to city hall for project meeting... waited a while for the rest to come.. was too early. haha. Spend super long time.. sometimes talking abt some rubbish and sometimes some thesis stuff and blah blah blah. Then went home after having dinner at Kenny Rogers with liyana and jamie. :)

Sunday was another workday at S... and met the Royal Family for dinner.. supposedly at Cathay's Astons but went to Pasta Cafe at Ngee Ann City instead... cos raining... well... we can always go there again next time. Went on the Coffee Club for cakes. Only yuhui and i ate cos for her bday mah.... Haha!

After that!! han and jiale went off le... So yuhui and i actually accompanied Von to do her hair extension... Until i want to fall asleep le... Then i thought why am i wasting time there instead of going home to do my thesis huh?! But in the end it's like.. she'd probably say it's the last time we see her for at least the next few months.... so whatever lah. But i thought she will be more considerate. haha! Fat hope. =x Anyway she flying back le lah...

Monday is as usual... no need to say much le. bye.
