It's how interesting things has become.
Now, the little girl has left for another teacher, and here comes 3 adults for erhu lesson. And more surprisingly, i have a japanese, an angmoh, and a chinese! haha! But oh.. the angmoh and jap are husband and wife. Quite interesting to teach them.
At first i was thinking of teaching them well, as in to get everything right and have good basics. But after a little break from teaching them, i dropped and idea and decided that if i want to do it that way, they will lose interest very soon. So have to shorten the process and at least let them play something to make them feel better in learning the instrument.
Then now the violin kid has got some problem... not the first time his tears welled in his eyes when i ask him to play something new. I think he really didn't want to learn violin anymore... and he is a person with his own mind, cos he already told his parents but still they continue to sign him up for the class. I kept trying to put some sense and some interest into him... but then, he 无动于衷. Esp. when it comes to learning new songs. He is very resistant. And it's very hard to teach him like that. And very hard to control. I have to call his name at least 10 times, and say 'take out your book' 10 times, and 'take out your violin', and 'that's enough ok, williem' before he listens. Or he might not even listen. And that's seriously tiring. Hais... i hope he doesn't give up that soon. But i guess i have to talk to his parents.
For the rest of the students.. more or less the same.. and i'm quite happy abt my yishun students. All making good progress.. except for the P4 boy... hais.. too lazy, too quiet too. While all my other students are very noisy and very talkative (including the previous girl), this particular one is way too too too quiet. Plus he nv practise!!! I have to repeat the same thing to him every week. and now is their school holidays. Hais. I think his parents didn't have enough attention on him. I've nv seen them before anyway, it's always the maid who is bringing him. He ah... i also dunno how...

After the mad rush
All the frantic moments are gone and we are back to normal. However, somehow i prefer all the hard work to go through. rather than to stay on the desk and had not much goals to follow. So should i say i prefer a more eventful work life? hahaha.
Anyways, it was really an eventful Nov. And it's going to be an eventful Dec too! (as it always is) I'm quite happy that some things are going to happen and some things that have happened.
Suddenly i'm lost for words for how i feel the whole time. I'm actually grateful that we had a bunch of very helpful student helpers for this period. While I was sometimes lost in what i'm supposed to do, they have nv doubted me, or so i think at least. (HAHA!) And glad that they are quite enthu towards doing everything. :) Oh and seriously i think i owe julian sng one. He seriously agreed to help me at the very last min. Plus it was us who didn't have the great idea whether we need another or not. But luckily we did, and luckily he did! I'm super thankful to have a friend like that. :) And through the whole event, we realised how long and how well we knew each other, although these few years we interact lesser. hahaha! Not bad ah... Heh.
Another reason to be happy... there were some compliments here and there. (though there were reprimands too). But i was quite surprise to have those comments. lol. And it gives me the motivation to do even better the next time round. Oh.. that is if i'm still here next year. HAHA. But actually i hope i still am. And in fact i'm quite comfortable with the environment as of now? haha.. we'll see lah. :)

Mad rush at work
It's really a mad rush trying to get everything done... and i think it will be even a bigger and madder rush the following days until the exam is over. OMG. I hope i get everything done so that the exam will go on smoothly and I wouldn't create any trouble for my colleague anymore.
Just last week, i was rather angry with myself for something i ought to do, but didn't. I feel super guilty everytime we realise extra work has to be done becos of me. I blame myself for being careless and all. I wasn't thoughtful enough some of the time and forgetful most of the time. I can't believe how forgetful i can get. We only have less than 3 working days to get everything done. Argh. And here i am. still on the net. Still blogging. Well. I hope tmr will be a better day, for me to complete whatever is necessary.
This is my first time involved in this whole thing, i'm already quite uncertain and nervous abt it, yet it has to be at a new venue. Ah.. I think i really have to prepare myself mentally and physically. Been trying to wake up earlier to go work earlier, but failed. Only managed to do it 1day last week. LOL.
After this whole mad rush period, i'm going off for a little break with my dears. Happy that horng is coming back for a short holiday, haven't seen her in a thousand years, and she's only coming back for such a short while. Then again, becos of this i feel guilty again cos there are days during my leave that has exam. Though not always long day, my colleague has to handle it tgt with my boss and part timer. I hope it will be fine.
Ok. Off to sleep.

生活的点滴
今天早上在红绿灯遇到邻居，是位阿婆。绿人亮起的时候，我踏出了第一步，要用着我平常的步伐过马路。但我却发现阿婆一下子才开始走，而且走得很慢，毕竟她已经年过80了吧。我心想着放慢脚步，但脚步真的没办法放慢至可以配合她的脚步。结果还是在她的前面转身说‘再见’。
然后，我想了很多。我想，这就是新加坡人的生活。我们没有办法，可能也不愿意放慢脚步，没办法等，不想等，没办法去接受这样的差异。也许是因为家里已经没有长辈已经有十年了，没有亲近感。很无奈，我们的社会就是这样。在这个生活节奏快的城市里，我们真的很难停下来，看看身边的人，和事吧。
明天是外婆的冥诞，我们没住在一起，记忆中跟外婆的互动很模糊，也许多数是小时候，后来的互动更少，常常因为学校的事，或是补习，没有每个星期都到外婆家去。外婆在我中二的时候过世了，在这种时候我们才会后悔吧。后悔没有花多一点时间，后悔把其他的事放在家人前面。但是我怀念我们每个星期都会到外婆家的情景。小时候最期待的就是星期六，可以去外婆家，去玩，去吃外婆煮的好吃的食物。
长辈过世了也不要太悲伤，他一定是去了一个更好的地方。要欣然接受所有会发生的事。
最后，大家珍惜身边的人和现在所拥有的吧。

1 year liao!!!
That day zhulin just reminded me that i've learnt from him for about 1 year. YA! like omg. I didn't even realised.
He said I improved a lot, erm, actually, i'm not very sure abt that as well. Haha. The thing is, starting from this year, I didn't really have the time to practise. If not i might have done much better now? And so, now, after much struggle i felt, I manged to get 阳光 down the list. Erm, doesn't mean i've mastered it. Then between the last update on my lessons till now, a few pieces have come and go. Like 增二度练习曲, 五度练习曲. 秦腔 and 草原 which i'm still practising now.
Then after 阳光 was taken off the list last week, 霍拉舞曲 is added to the collection. LOL. dies. this week haven't prac yet. =X
The thing is.. I feel quite bad cos this year i haven't really got all the time to practise. Unlike when i just started. That's why i kept on thinking is it that i really have too many commitments. The thing is, if i don't continue sy, i also dun see point continuing taking lessons. cos i wun be playing anymore anyway. Then... I dunno if i should quite teaching. BUT i do enjoy the lessons. HOW AH!! Then if i continue to do all these, I really have no life!!
Then i'll continue to get complains from my friends that i always have no time and always ps them. Aiya, i'll talk abt this in another entry.
Ok. That's all... update again soon.

A start to all that follows
Passed my FTT today. Was quite nervous at first cos I wasn't really prepared and didn't really do well during the trial test. Didn't really have time to read through everything. But turned that i'm 1mark away from full marks. Phew like what a relief. And so now can start with my lessons already! hahah. Erm. Like finally? I wonder when will i have the ability to get a car. Hmm... 真的要拼一拼了!
Keep on going!
Yup, shall talk a bit abt my violin kids. Last weekend i was told that one of my students will be changing to another teacher cos her sister will be learning in the same centre and they had to change the timing of the lesson. And it doesn't comply to my teaching timings, thus have to shift to another teacher tgt with the sister.
Hmm... Actually i'm a bit relieved that she is the one to be taken out from my lesson. Maybe i really don't have the ability to teach her well. Cos she hasn't improve to my expectations so far. Maybe she's too young, maybe she doesn't want to learn, i don't know. But so far whatever I've taught her, it is quite to my disappointment that she doesn't listen to me and yet likes to do a lot of funny stuff (including asking me A LOT of irrelevant qns, keep shifting herself to a chair/a corner of the room so she can rest -.-). Her patience level is so low, she can't play a whole bow more than 5 times maybe? then she will convert it to short bows on her own when i ask to keep playing the whole bow on open string. -.- Then ask her to play the song, she will ask if she is supposed to play the whole song EVERYTIME. Then again, try to distract me by asking why this and why that. It's a good thing for children to ask why. but she's really a '问题'儿童. Omg, sometimes i totally cannot tahan, i just nv ans her. That day she ask, 'why this week we use a bigger room', 'why there is a piano in this room', 'why no theory today', 'why you wear spectacles today', 'why we never/cannot play the other songs', etc etc etc.
The thing is ah, although I get very fed-up with her learning attitude, and that she will ALWAYS repeat the same mistake, and as much as I dun really want to teach her anymore, I want to teach her well and teach her the correct way. But well, maybe it's a good thing for her that my method doesn't work on her. And i am relunctant to let go of young children because it is not that good for a kid to keep changing teachers. (ok, it's the first time for her). Evident from my other student cos I'm his 3rd teacher and i can feel that he doesn't like changing teachers. And he told me that he hope I wouldn't teach for just a short period. That was why i didn't want to give her up even though the school has told me that they can give her to another teacher while i take on erhu students. But well, i guess it's destined for her to go to someone else. I hope she can be better.
And ya, about the other student at clementi, he's the one mentioned above. Actually a very smart boy (and handsome too. haha) Indian mixed chinese i think. But at first i couldn't really handle him also. Cos the first thing he came into class, he rolled onto the floor and i had to nag him or pull him to get up. So sat's lessons are always the most draining ones. But now he actually do listen to me. And he really improved a lot! I think i have my way to bribe him through. I better buy some cola sweet to bring for him this week. haha!
Oh, i have an adult student who decided to stop lessons as well. Erm. I would say, i'm quite relieved for that too. HAHA. That's evil. She is quite irritating when she keep asking me 'correct?', 'correct?', in the midst of playing the phrase. Every 10 sec or so, she will ask once. And she can't really control and relax her hands fully so very hard to teach. The lesson is 45min and i dun teach her theory. What can u imagine? And heard there is some problem with her mentally also, so have to be very careful. I'm already very patient with anyone. Hmm... In the end it was cos of some wrist problem i think that she can't continu. Well, i've expected it anyway. Cos her hands are so stiff she cannot handle the fingers and wrist. So very hard one lah... after a few weeks, it's still a shreking sound. bth. =X
The rest of the students, more or less the same. But i'm quite glad that all my students improved in their playing. :) Whether fast or slow, they improved. That's what i care. And they gave me more respect and listen to what i say. Yup, it's very tiring as a part time job, but sometimes it gives me a sense of satisfaction when my students can learn and play something new and they feel happy about it too.
Yup, i'm not giving up. Not so fast. :)
Yup, so as of now, i have 5 violin students, 1 is going to another next month and next month i will have new erhu students. haha!

罐头剧场疯
最近跟着Y.E.S933的罐头剧场《青青校树》跟的蛮紧。也许因为第一集就有收听，而且时间是每天起床的时候，总是会要听完了，才甘心起床。也许是因为这次的故事内容跟以往的很不一样。而且有点惊悚，让我对整个故事很期待。所以整部十五集，我几乎每分每秒都听到了。疯狂！哈哈！
短短的十五集要让全部该发生的事都发生，真有点不容易。跟着剧情走，然后猜着谁会是下一个受害者，很紧张。而且没想到我一开始的时候就猜到谁是凶手了！只是没有想到凶手真的很恐怖，佩芬演的很好。
只是对结尾有点不了解，那到底是什么意思呢？还有第二集？可是可以死的大概都死了吧。=X 另一个凶手，应该是慧怡的爸爸？其实我也有点不明白，其实以慧怡一个人的力量，她应该没有办法杀死男生吧？Hmm...
就等着吧。

A great weekend with friends i nv regret knowing
I haven't enjoyed myself on a weekend for so long! Thank you GGG and my royals.. It was really a great weekend.
Though the bbq session at daryl's was a more of a usual GGG event. (hahaha). The food, the chats and the company made it really good. :)
And although i've been to USS in less than 6 months ago, it was still a great visit there with u guys. I definitely still had my share of fun. Although kim, chris and i are really sad that the roller coaster ride at sci-fi area is still not opened for playing. What a sad thing. I love to take it. Anyway. Mummy ride twice cos the queue was short!! :D Jurassic park ride too... Yea, wet. But less than i've expected. Not a great fall. But not bad lah. Went to the sprinkle zone at the Water world show. It's great fun. And yea, we got a bit wet after all. haha. But it's definitely more anticipating and more fun to be in the wet zone area. Maybe next time i'll go all out to the soak zone, haha!
And omg, spent lotsa money. But of cos, feels good to have the ability to buy what i want. On my own. I'm not a rich kid, i dun have rich parents too, but, i feel just right, doing things i like, enough for what i need. That's all. Got new cap from Candylicious, and a USS polo. Yea! And popcorns!!! HAHAHA
Update more next time.. got to go rest my whole body. hahaha!
PS: Haven't talked abt my violin kids for a long time.. I'll do it soon. Ciaoz~

三十岁的目标
有没有想过, 在三十岁以前要达到什么人生目标?
最近突然想了一些很想做的事.
1. 完成出国留学/工作的梦想.
2. 在最短的时间内考取驾照. 明年华人新年前可能有点难, 但尽量吧.
3. 存钱买车, 因为上班真的很累. 听说姐夫会买辆车给二姐架. :)
4. 希望可以找到心仪的对象, 不像一个人过一辈子. 看到太多的例子, 不想和他们一样. 我希望有自己的家庭, 也可以让父母不必为我担心. 毕竟他们也不年轻了. 而且, 我也不年轻了.
5. 去一些我一直很想去的地方.
6. 希望我可以一直坚持梦想, 做我喜欢做的事.
就这么多了. 也许只要几样, 但这些都是需要时间的. 也需要一些钱. 我不会做一些不切实际的梦. 这几个都很实际, 我已经很怕我什么都办不到. 其实以前的梦想很多, 我想当老师, 当音乐家, 当歌手, 当一个很好的乐团经理或剧团经理. 现在只可以当兼职老师, 兼职演奏员, 兴趣性的唱歌, 和做梦当乐团经理. 哈哈. 所以我要努力拼搏, 直到达到目标为止.
一向来我都没有对前有很大的概念,'钱'不是我考虑工作的第一位. 我没有很多钱, 但我也不会缺钱用. 我只想做喜欢的事. 只是有时还是会觉得心灰意冷. 希望过了今年一切都会好一点吧. 看到一些朋友很有幸的到外地工作, 读书, 会觉得他们好幸福, 然后问自己, 几时才会轮到我?
无论如何, 现在先做好自己的本分, 而且存多一点钱, 为未来打算. :)

August Part 2
I have enjoyed august as much as i have dreaded it too. Last month i said i was looking forward to the coming of Aug. But after august came... it went away too quickly. And of cos, finally the end of aug came and joeltan has to leave for his studies... In between, lotsa exciting times. And to speak the truth, I think i've never been so busy my whole life, compared to the last 2 months.
There were 2 farewells with joeltan. First one was.. not that emo... cos the gathering time was quite short. But the stay-over was quite fun. How nice if I do not need to work. haha! But well, work is important too. If not next time where got money to visit joel at toronto? Heh. So slept really late. Joel, ekjun and I were really doing very random stuff.. Like they were playing song-guessing game! Like omg. And half the songs i dunno de lah. lol.
And joel cooked supper for us. Although it's just tomyam maggie mee. But it's cooked by joel tan! :D And while eating... we were watching some random stupid youtube video and singing ndp songs. HAHA. I dunno why but it was quite random. Maybe started with us talking abt December Rain? Hmm.. can't rmb. But we were having fun.. until actually dun really feel like sleeping. haha! But next day was quite chui. haha!
The 2nd one was... actually even more fun. It's like a whole of things going on.. And we all hoped the day wouldn't end. More SY and GGG stayed... It's like totally epic. Hmm... Hard to recall, it's just talking, playing, eating and drinking all night long.. until some were totally gone. (actually i think only joel and alfred are gone) HAHA.
Yup everything ended when all were gone to sleep. I didn't prepare to sleep there, wanted to come home and sleep on my bed instead. Thanks ekky for sending us back. haha! :D
And yet there were concerts again... as i mentioned in previous post.. 1 SCO and 1 Fried Rice Paradise. :))) SCO concert was awesome. Although we were late. -.- stood outside with many others for the first song. hais. Er ok nothing much for the concert. Went for our last supper with joel then. hahaha.
Fried Rice Paradise was love. My emotions could be greater for it if not for the departure of the dearest joeltan. haha. But still, the musical was great, and their vocals were great. I still super love Sebastian Tan. HAHA. He's really good. english also good, chinese also good (he sang quite a no. of TV series theme songs and If There's Seasons for the first run). And i totally love his father's (Darius Tan) expression in words. Damn funny. 'Neh mind, neh mind', 'wah wah', 'hwa hwa'. His pronounciation of some words are hilarious. 'More-deng-nis-za-sion'. lol. Looking forward to Cinderel-LAH! both of them are acting in it. Sebastian as Prince Char Mee, and Darius Tan as one of the step-sister. haha. Can't wait! :D
Oh Taufik was not bad too.. could see they very wanted to make use of his vocals. Haha. Had a lot of chances for solo singing. Good for his first attempt on such stage. Much better than someone else on the other stage. Oops. =X
There were 2 farewells with joeltan. First one was.. not that emo... cos the gathering time was quite short. But the stay-over was quite fun. How nice if I do not need to work. haha! But well, work is important too. If not next time where got money to visit joel at toronto? Heh. So slept really late. Joel, ekjun and I were really doing very random stuff.. Like they were playing song-guessing game! Like omg. And half the songs i dunno de lah. lol.
And joel cooked supper for us. Although it's just tomyam maggie mee. But it's cooked by joel tan! :D And while eating... we were watching some random stupid youtube video and singing ndp songs. HAHA. I dunno why but it was quite random. Maybe started with us talking abt December Rain? Hmm.. can't rmb. But we were having fun.. until actually dun really feel like sleeping. haha! But next day was quite chui. haha!

Girl, Jiayou!
It breaks my heart to know a friend-different-school-junior going through something like that. I hope she will be all right and stay as strong and cheerful as she has always been. It's easy to say but no easy to do it. I hope she can pull through all these and i'm glad all her friends stood by her in this difficult times. She's not even 20 and have to go through such stuff which we would never want to go through the whole of our lives.
I wish all well for her, and after all these treatments, she will be back to the healthy and cheerful girl i used to know. Jiayou! :)

Bye Joel Tan
Actually I don't really know why am I so affected. But i'm just VERY affected. And still affected. The fact is that it's hard not to think of all the times we have gone through tgt in SY for the past 5 years.
I rmb I mentioned twice (or thrice) that I will not be joining SY the following year. Was becos of studies and work and what-not. But I didn't afterall. Cos i was lucky that my studies didn't make my practices impossible. And I knew that I really couldn't bear to leave after all. But now come to think of it, if i had left 2 years ago. I won't be so sad now cos there would be so lesser good memories with joel and the group.
[edit] It was just 1 day after the departure that i typed the previous paragraphs. I stopped because I couldn't control my emotions while typing and i was still feeling very sad. now it's 3 days after the departure [/edit]
I meant that seriously. But i'm at the same time happy that he's embarking on his learning journey. It's something i've always wanted to do. i.e. studying abroad. Just not to the extend of not coming back. And i'm really glad his back to studies, and doing something he likes i hope. :) Just that I haven't really gotten used to it.
It was all tears and hugs at the airport.. Erm. for most of the girls. and junhe. Maybe cos we are the closest. I totally cannot control although i super wanted to. So as to be him depart with better feelings. but fail lah. Then that night and following day(s) was quite emo, and not me only. All the rest as well. Tsk tsk tsk. We love him too much.
But the age of technology makes everything so much easier. Because we skype-ed with JoelTan ytd! :D I think we were ALL excited to talk to him. :)
And so many changed their fb dp to the photo we each took with joeltan. It was cool. And still is. :)
Ok. We got to get on with life and well cherish each other asswais. :D
Hope we get to go there and visit together in time to come.

Aug Long Weekend
I hope i wun be just having 1 post per month. Which is quite sad. I love to pen my thoughts down. In whichever method. Because i'm such a forgetful person. I like to have everyone done in words.
So far, it's almost half a month into August, and, I have to say that I still got my share of enjoyment. :)
First weekend was a quite crazy one.
Jojo's Bday
Started with jojo's 21st bday party. It was like wow! It was at this super nice villa of The Sentosa Resort. But i reached there quite late lah.. Missed all the food. Which was quite sad. Looking at pictures makes me drool lah. Tsk. Anyway, it was still quite an event and he has very cool cake! And they are nice! :)
The guys are having some fun thinking of different stuff to do in the water. They sure are energetic. But of them had their shirts and pants on when they were thrown/pushed/pulled/jumped into the water.. Poor mothers and maid of their got to wash them. Tsk tsk.
Sitting by the pool is a relaxation too though. I had moments of undisturbance at the pool side just listening to music and thinking. It was nice moments.
Stayed over with most of the GGG, while they were giao-ing late into the night and after that ALL of them *pah* and slept wherever they could. And unfortunately, i dun have a place to sleep AT ALL. So i went for a long bath. Shower, bathtub. Another nice relaxing moment. But at 6am. At least i got a place to sit in there. Lol. After that was some camera moments. Haha! Then finally i have some space to sleep when some ppl left. :)
SCO Gala Concert
Went home and after a while out to teach.. And then after that met them again for the jazz concert - 1st of 2 concerts for this month.
It was quite a cool concert. The jazz pieces which they played were nice! Like a total diff exp with them compared to the chris brubeck last time. Cos diff instru after all. They were really good, the bass and drumset and of cos the piano. Damn zai.
The SCO musicians were good too lah.. a few of them had improvisation with the jazz music. Not bad leh... Just that it's unlikely that they really improvise on the spot lah. hahaha! But yea. still cool. Gives a totally different image on some of the instruments. And CO. :)
December rain 雨季
Watched on 8aug night show. Totally love. The first of 2 musicals i'm watching in this month. I was totally waiting for it since the day we bought the tix. Erm. More than 3months ago? Haha! It's like fulfilling something. I'm so happy to be able to listen to kit chan sing again! :D Somehow i miss Forbidden City again. Heh. Anyway she's totally awesome!! Her voice is still as good as ever and it sends goosebumps!
The songs are ALL so nicely written too. Fav is still the theme song - 请你告诉他. Must be written by liangwenfu. As the show goes on, i was like thinking, 'wow! It's so obvious which song was written by which composer!' and ALL OF THEM are nice! 渺小的我 has really nice lyrics.. [edit: Ok. I actually guessed 1 or 2 wrongly. -.-]
“是我选择了被人遗忘，还是遗忘选择了我?”
:) And somehow reminds me of If There's Seasons again. LOL. Like if they ever gonna stage it again. I might watch again. Depending on the cast this time.
Ahh... so during the show, it was half sensitive nose and half touched, I kept have to take out tissue to clear my nose. And tears. haha! There were parts the singing are so tear-inducing it's hard to control (or at least to me).
I think this is the first time i watched a Toy Factory production.. Although i've always wanted to watch some of their older productions like TiTouDao. Hmm... next time i know who to ask to go for all these if my sis doesn't want to go. I nv knew the sy ppl are like into such too. haha!
So anyway, the stage setting, the costume, some of the scenes are totally contemporary. It's most obvious when only 1 person is singing in front of the string-curtains. And there will be a dancer in the backdrop. Dancing to the song and the actor/actress' inner feelings. I've nv watched the first run of this musical, but from what sis described, it is totally different too. I think the artistic directions changed so ya. Everything changed. Not very elaborate sets, but good enough to represent what they want to represent.
Anyway, managed to grab hold of liangwenfu before the show to get his autograph on the prog booklet. No luck in seeing yeliangjun ard though. :(
“请你请你告诉他
我永远爱他
就算大雨一直下
心中彩虹长挂
彩虹尽头有他”
Omg.. It's been stuck in my head since i first heard the song on 933. And still stuck whenever the words appear or when i'm not listening to any other music. So catchy and meaningful.
Korean Bbq
We went for korean bbq lunch buffet on national day as a form of celebration for da-jie and er-jie's bday. It was awesome! The meat is so well done. Ok actually the pork are better done than the chicken. But we are all pork-eater anyway. Haha. Although no beef, still not bad liao cos not that ex. Service was good too. So full after that lah! So much so it's was kinda nap time for the afternoon. Lol. Only woke up near to ndp time. Haha!
Managed to get some fireworks photo from home kitchen. :)
And that's like the end of the long weekend. Fantastic although not the kind anyone would dream of. Haha. And i guess there's still more to come?
Till the end of the month i still have like 1 SCO concert and 1 musical - Fried Rice Paradise. Looking forward too! Yeah. Esp. towards Sebastian Tan!!! Still my fav thus far. :D More than George Chan. Hahaha.
But till the end of the month, i have 2 close friends leaving sg for studies. 1 is going to china for 2 years (at least he is cfm coming back). And the other is going to canada forever! :( i'm damn sad.
Update the rest next time.

For July
What eventful weekends i have had in July (and busy weekdays too). So i have to wait till almost end of July to update... Cos i was really busy dao.... The weather was crazy. i was crazily busy too...
First weekend:
1. Picnic + Fly kite with COgang.
Was a super rainy sat morning... But we still went on with our plan to Marina Barrage with some food and got to sit under the shelter to eat. And even under the shelter, we got rain washed over us sometimes. But we still got to fly the kite after that! Quite lucky though the grass is all wet. hohoh. Not much sun and wind at first. So a bit hard to fly the kite but we did it anyhows.
Then just as we stopped, the sun came out. Super hot sun. The weather is crazy. So 3 girls decided to stay under the shelter while jan, sushi, dj, via and i came out to fly kite. But anyway it's been long since we last met so early in the morning for a gathering like that. Ever since we grad from sac? hahaha. It's a good outing like that with them still :) (and i got a little sun burnt after that). haha!
We ended the day ard 2+.. for me to go for my teaching lesson. And some decided to go for some movie.
2. Movie
After that long day... I went for Eclipse with the Asswais. Some crazy ppl watched 2 movies on that day - Toy Story 3 and Eclipse. I was only available for 1. So yea. I met them after my lesson. Wanted to dine at Astons but ended up at Jap food cos not enough time. Movie was all right... Not that exciting. A bit gross at the fighting part. Other than that... More or less to the story? I'm looking forward to Breaking Dawn more. More interesting storyline. :)
Then ekky send us back to the east! Although it was a really long walk to his car. tsk. haha! And yup that's all for saturday.
3. Race Against Cancer
That was the activity for sunday. 5km fun run. Glad that we only did 5km. haha! too long nv train. Stamina is like. LOW. sianed. And my shoes are not really fitting... So my feet got very painful halfway thru... And then worst. Got stitches. like wth. So Anyway after that i bth and went back home to change shoe plus take dslr before going back to meet the rest at mac.
Then i couldn't rmb what happened for the rest of the day seriously. HAHA
Yup. End of first weekend.
Second weekend:
1. F.I.R Concert
Was quite a surprise gift from SCO. I think cos of their collaboration with 光明山. that's why there's free tix. Well, our seats can't be compared to those sco staff. And i can only say. 'Better than nothing'. haha. First time the asswais are going for something like this... And then, there were a few who knows NOTHING abt F.I.R and their songs. lol. Like our dearest dr.cheow and tanmeijou. So they were more entertained by iPhones than the singers themselves. Then a few of them fell asleep at the front. Which i agree was quite dry. But not that bad lah.
Anyway towards the end we got damn high and start jumping ard and finally joeltan got some songs he knows! like 2 or 3 of them? lol. So overall it was good! Free one leh. HAHA :D
2. Nothing else except for work and violin lessons.
Got to work for the weekend = coming to office 7/7. wah i tell u it's kinda madness. I worked (come to office for 12 days straight. So for the sat and sun. It was work then teach, work then teach. Just that one day was at clementi, the other at yishun.
One of the most tiring weekend ever.
Third weekend:
1. Music Exchange
Quite fun. Quite tiring too. Lotsa friends. Lotsa laughter throughout. Spent most of the day with vontay. HAHA. Ok lah.. after that with the asswais too. Mini-asswai gathering somehow. haha! Anyhows, quite fun to be meeting some friends whom i haven't seen for a long time. both MCO and Changkat. Esp. the cc ppl. LOL. And being called some 叛徒 for a day. :( Reason is clear, but dun say here lah. The whole thing was quite funny. And i felt so stress cos he was sitting diagonally behind me during our item. Cos i didn't really talk to him, and he didn't really chatted with me too... I felt quite bad actually. Aiya. Whatever lah. =X Why am i involved in this kind of rubbish politics of ppl. rah!
Anyway i happy cos of some things though. haha! Shan't say what is it. I know can liao. lol! Maybe some will know, maybe not. But also... erm. nothing liao lah.
The exchange itself was not bad. Although i wasn't really listening after some time. LOL. Take photo photo and more photos.
2. Movie
Went to watch Nodame Cantabile - Finale with the Asswais after the exchange. Hmm.. Not bad but not as much cute animations compared to first part. More laughter for 1st part. But still quite funny. And after all it's with the asswais. Anything can be good enough. HAHA. :D
3. Work
And back to work on sunday again. And to teach cos i canceled the lesson the day before. Still, a much too tiring day for me to handle. haha.
Fourth weekend: (one of the most fun one)
1. Universal Studio Singapore
Yeap. First visit to USS. And with my family. :D Family day for da-jie coy. So we all went. The funniest thing of all was the start of the day where the 3 of us couldn't wake up in the morning. So much so for setting the time to get out of the house, i woke up at the exact time we had to leave. And i was the one who woke the 2 of them up. LOL. So we had to rush for time cos dad and mum were already at the mrt station waiting for us. How cool.
So ya.. played and eat in USS. Went to gollilocks for lunch (fyi they sell fried chicken, not porridge) and it's not bad at all. But my dad prefers KFC. haha! Took quite some photos there... and the mascots are really good. :) Managed to get most that we wanted: Madagascar (only managed to get alex cos the session ending), Shrek & Fiona, Puss in boots, Frankenstein and Kungfu Panda. Damn cute. We were quite lucky for most of it... The cat is like damn cute. And well... vain. HAHA! And we specially waited for Kungfu panda. Saw him when we just reached and halfway through but he was going back to rest already.. so we ermm... ask the other escorts where will he be appearing and abt what time. And yeah! We waited there for him to come out. So we were like one of the first few. :D
For rides... didn't really get to take a lot. Went for more shows instead. Or rather, i think we only took the Mummy ride? Which was really good. Wanted to go to the Jurassic ride, but they having technical fault. :( And the roller-coaster is closed still. So no luck. Omg, i want to go back and play when everything is up! I hope it will be soon. So yup, went to the 4D Shrek show, movie special effects showcase, the waterworld show.
Yea, I was a happy when i came out of USS cos i got a puss in boots mug and a gingy cushion for workplace!! :D
2. Veron's bday
It was kinda last min decision to go.. cos it was after USS and i was quite drained already. Anyhows, met joeltan and tayzhiwen to go tgt. Yup.. had a good time playing Angry birds on jingwen's iPad. So big and clear. haha! Most of them left quite early. I felt kinda bad so i stayed for a while more.. which in the end i left like what 1plus am? Erm. I can't rmb. haha. And luckily i managed to get a cab outside the chalet. if not i have to walk the dark path all the way out to the main street.
3. The Line Buffet
If u still do not know what is The Line, maybe u are still not to the age to enjoy yet. haha! It's buffet by Shangri La Hotel. One of the highest recommended int'l buffet in sg. I went with my 2 buddies on sunday for lunch. It's damn good i tell u, just by eating the seafood, it's enough to return the money you paid for the whole meal. Oh and sashimi. it's like... heaven! It can convince ppl who doesn't believe in sashimi to eat it and say it's nice. Didn't eat some of the variety there cos really too much. Dessert was calling us. So tempting and most of them are really nice! Ah... the meal lasted me throughout the whole day. hahaha! I wasted my packed dinner provided by sy for the concert. didn't eat at all. And no Koi too. lol!
4. SYCO concert
Rehearsal at 3.30pm and concert at 8pm on the sunday. As much as we thought it might be a disaster, it turned out quite well. But the big thing for the day was... I actually forgot to bring my scores out. -.- So smart. And that was becos i was practising the songs in the morning before i went out for the buffet haha! And i only realised that when i reached SCH. Was kinda early and wanted to prac first. it was then i opened my bag and realised my scores weren't inside. And best, my partner and i are using my scores for the concert. How great. I had to call home to ask them to bring it to me.. So during the rehearsal it was quite disastrous, esp. for the erhu song. haha!
But anyhows, I think we did quite well for the concert. And i'm proud of us! :D So much for all the scoldings we had. If only everyone could do better earlier the next time. It was really better than what we expected. And mr quek was super funny during the concert. Esp. the erhu song i think. damn relieved. hahaha.
And then.... We face friends performing for the last time in syco. Well... I must say i will really miss them in the co. esp. joeltanmeijou. As much as we dun want him to leave, i think if that's what is better for him, I wish him all well. (well, he is going afterall). Ah... Time has really passed so fast. At the point i'm typing this... there's only 20 days left for him in sg. :(
Worst, there are 5 weekends for July!!!
Fifth Weekend:
1. Make-up lessons for the kids
After all the busy weeks... i had to change quite a few violin lessons to accommodate. :( And so instead of enjoying days i do not have to teach due to the music school holidays, I had to go back to teach them. Ok. blame on myself lah. :(
2. Support Xunqi at RACO concert
It was really a cool thing to see your friend as the conductor at a concert. And can see how much effort he has put in to make this concert a success. The concert may not be fantastic, but it shows the effort of all these alumnis who are perhaps very busy ppl, best example is xunqi himself. And the passion they had for the school and CO to make them go back and make this concert a success. Not easy.
A surprise to see emily and yingying there too! We were like damn high there. haha! They are there with their sn friends i think. And saw khai phang too... quite a good friend of xunqi i think. haha! Haven't seen my pri school friends for such a long time.
When would nyco have the same kind of chance to do this? haha. i dunno. Not so soon i guess.
3. Relax
Finally I got to relax on the sunday cos it's August already!!! I heart. And now... i'm going to sleep and update on august stuff soon. Hee!
PS: I think this entry kinda fits almost half of the labels i have. hahaha!
First weekend:
1. Picnic + Fly kite with COgang.
Was a super rainy sat morning... But we still went on with our plan to Marina Barrage with some food and got to sit under the shelter to eat. And even under the shelter, we got rain washed over us sometimes. But we still got to fly the kite after that! Quite lucky though the grass is all wet. hohoh. Not much sun and wind at first. So a bit hard to fly the kite but we did it anyhows.
Then just as we stopped, the sun came out. Super hot sun. The weather is crazy. So 3 girls decided to stay under the shelter while jan, sushi, dj, via and i came out to fly kite. But anyway it's been long since we last met so early in the morning for a gathering like that. Ever since we grad from sac? hahaha. It's a good outing like that with them still :) (and i got a little sun burnt after that). haha!
We ended the day ard 2+.. for me to go for my teaching lesson. And some decided to go for some movie.
2. Movie
After that long day... I went for Eclipse with the Asswais. Some crazy ppl watched 2 movies on that day - Toy Story 3 and Eclipse. I was only available for 1. So yea. I met them after my lesson. Wanted to dine at Astons but ended up at Jap food cos not enough time. Movie was all right... Not that exciting. A bit gross at the fighting part. Other than that... More or less to the story? I'm looking forward to Breaking Dawn more. More interesting storyline. :)
Then ekky send us back to the east! Although it was a really long walk to his car. tsk. haha! And yup that's all for saturday.
3. Race Against Cancer
That was the activity for sunday. 5km fun run. Glad that we only did 5km. haha! too long nv train. Stamina is like. LOW. sianed. And my shoes are not really fitting... So my feet got very painful halfway thru... And then worst. Got stitches. like wth. So Anyway after that i bth and went back home to change shoe plus take dslr before going back to meet the rest at mac.
Then i couldn't rmb what happened for the rest of the day seriously. HAHA
Yup. End of first weekend.
Second weekend:
1. F.I.R Concert
Was quite a surprise gift from SCO. I think cos of their collaboration with 光明山. that's why there's free tix. Well, our seats can't be compared to those sco staff. And i can only say. 'Better than nothing'. haha. First time the asswais are going for something like this... And then, there were a few who knows NOTHING abt F.I.R and their songs. lol. Like our dearest dr.cheow and tanmeijou. So they were more entertained by iPhones than the singers themselves. Then a few of them fell asleep at the front. Which i agree was quite dry. But not that bad lah.
Anyway towards the end we got damn high and start jumping ard and finally joeltan got some songs he knows! like 2 or 3 of them? lol. So overall it was good! Free one leh. HAHA :D
2. Nothing else except for work and violin lessons.
Got to work for the weekend = coming to office 7/7. wah i tell u it's kinda madness. I worked (come to office for 12 days straight. So for the sat and sun. It was work then teach, work then teach. Just that one day was at clementi, the other at yishun.
One of the most tiring weekend ever.
Third weekend:
1. Music Exchange
Quite fun. Quite tiring too. Lotsa friends. Lotsa laughter throughout. Spent most of the day with vontay. HAHA. Ok lah.. after that with the asswais too. Mini-asswai gathering somehow. haha! Anyhows, quite fun to be meeting some friends whom i haven't seen for a long time. both MCO and Changkat. Esp. the cc ppl. LOL. And being called some 叛徒 for a day. :( Reason is clear, but dun say here lah. The whole thing was quite funny. And i felt so stress cos he was sitting diagonally behind me during our item. Cos i didn't really talk to him, and he didn't really chatted with me too... I felt quite bad actually. Aiya. Whatever lah. =X Why am i involved in this kind of rubbish politics of ppl. rah!
Anyway i happy cos of some things though. haha! Shan't say what is it. I know can liao. lol! Maybe some will know, maybe not. But also... erm. nothing liao lah.
The exchange itself was not bad. Although i wasn't really listening after some time. LOL. Take photo photo and more photos.
2. Movie
Went to watch Nodame Cantabile - Finale with the Asswais after the exchange. Hmm.. Not bad but not as much cute animations compared to first part. More laughter for 1st part. But still quite funny. And after all it's with the asswais. Anything can be good enough. HAHA. :D
3. Work
And back to work on sunday again. And to teach cos i canceled the lesson the day before. Still, a much too tiring day for me to handle. haha.
Fourth weekend: (one of the most fun one)
1. Universal Studio Singapore
Yeap. First visit to USS. And with my family. :D Family day for da-jie coy. So we all went. The funniest thing of all was the start of the day where the 3 of us couldn't wake up in the morning. So much so for setting the time to get out of the house, i woke up at the exact time we had to leave. And i was the one who woke the 2 of them up. LOL. So we had to rush for time cos dad and mum were already at the mrt station waiting for us. How cool.
So ya.. played and eat in USS. Went to gollilocks for lunch (fyi they sell fried chicken, not porridge) and it's not bad at all. But my dad prefers KFC. haha! Took quite some photos there... and the mascots are really good. :) Managed to get most that we wanted: Madagascar (only managed to get alex cos the session ending), Shrek & Fiona, Puss in boots, Frankenstein and Kungfu Panda. Damn cute. We were quite lucky for most of it... The cat is like damn cute. And well... vain. HAHA! And we specially waited for Kungfu panda. Saw him when we just reached and halfway through but he was going back to rest already.. so we ermm... ask the other escorts where will he be appearing and abt what time. And yeah! We waited there for him to come out. So we were like one of the first few. :D
For rides... didn't really get to take a lot. Went for more shows instead. Or rather, i think we only took the Mummy ride? Which was really good. Wanted to go to the Jurassic ride, but they having technical fault. :( And the roller-coaster is closed still. So no luck. Omg, i want to go back and play when everything is up! I hope it will be soon. So yup, went to the 4D Shrek show, movie special effects showcase, the waterworld show.
Yea, I was a happy when i came out of USS cos i got a puss in boots mug and a gingy cushion for workplace!! :D
2. Veron's bday
It was kinda last min decision to go.. cos it was after USS and i was quite drained already. Anyhows, met joeltan and tayzhiwen to go tgt. Yup.. had a good time playing Angry birds on jingwen's iPad. So big and clear. haha! Most of them left quite early. I felt kinda bad so i stayed for a while more.. which in the end i left like what 1plus am? Erm. I can't rmb. haha. And luckily i managed to get a cab outside the chalet. if not i have to walk the dark path all the way out to the main street.
3. The Line Buffet
If u still do not know what is The Line, maybe u are still not to the age to enjoy yet. haha! It's buffet by Shangri La Hotel. One of the highest recommended int'l buffet in sg. I went with my 2 buddies on sunday for lunch. It's damn good i tell u, just by eating the seafood, it's enough to return the money you paid for the whole meal. Oh and sashimi. it's like... heaven! It can convince ppl who doesn't believe in sashimi to eat it and say it's nice. Didn't eat some of the variety there cos really too much. Dessert was calling us. So tempting and most of them are really nice! Ah... the meal lasted me throughout the whole day. hahaha! I wasted my packed dinner provided by sy for the concert. didn't eat at all. And no Koi too. lol!
4. SYCO concert
Rehearsal at 3.30pm and concert at 8pm on the sunday. As much as we thought it might be a disaster, it turned out quite well. But the big thing for the day was... I actually forgot to bring my scores out. -.- So smart. And that was becos i was practising the songs in the morning before i went out for the buffet haha! And i only realised that when i reached SCH. Was kinda early and wanted to prac first. it was then i opened my bag and realised my scores weren't inside. And best, my partner and i are using my scores for the concert. How great. I had to call home to ask them to bring it to me.. So during the rehearsal it was quite disastrous, esp. for the erhu song. haha!
But anyhows, I think we did quite well for the concert. And i'm proud of us! :D So much for all the scoldings we had. If only everyone could do better earlier the next time. It was really better than what we expected. And mr quek was super funny during the concert. Esp. the erhu song i think. damn relieved. hahaha.
And then.... We face friends performing for the last time in syco. Well... I must say i will really miss them in the co. esp. joeltanmeijou. As much as we dun want him to leave, i think if that's what is better for him, I wish him all well. (well, he is going afterall). Ah... Time has really passed so fast. At the point i'm typing this... there's only 20 days left for him in sg. :(
Worst, there are 5 weekends for July!!!
Fifth Weekend:
1. Make-up lessons for the kids
After all the busy weeks... i had to change quite a few violin lessons to accommodate. :( And so instead of enjoying days i do not have to teach due to the music school holidays, I had to go back to teach them. Ok. blame on myself lah. :(
2. Support Xunqi at RACO concert
It was really a cool thing to see your friend as the conductor at a concert. And can see how much effort he has put in to make this concert a success. The concert may not be fantastic, but it shows the effort of all these alumnis who are perhaps very busy ppl, best example is xunqi himself. And the passion they had for the school and CO to make them go back and make this concert a success. Not easy.
A surprise to see emily and yingying there too! We were like damn high there. haha! They are there with their sn friends i think. And saw khai phang too... quite a good friend of xunqi i think. haha! Haven't seen my pri school friends for such a long time.
When would nyco have the same kind of chance to do this? haha. i dunno. Not so soon i guess.
3. Relax
Finally I got to relax on the sunday cos it's August already!!! I heart. And now... i'm going to sleep and update on august stuff soon. Hee!

My (only) Bday present and some thoughts
My chio holga camera. Bday present from my girls. :)
And in fact, my only present for this year's bday. But actually i'm fine with no presents. Because i felt that there's nothing i really need or want. Ok have lah... But i know it's not within anyone's budget and i'm depending on myself. :) So i had quite a hard time deciding on what i want from them until the idea of toy cameras came across my mind. And omg it's quite addictive. Janice i totally understand. hahaha.
And i've already started using it.. but cos it's different from using a dslr which i've been frequently using one lately, it's sometimes difficult to rmb the steps to take a new photo with this manual camera. haha. and i'm still getting used to the reflex lens. (always shift in wrong direction) lol.
As for my own reward for myself. I'm already determined to get myself a iPod Touch. I wanted to get it with my 2nd month pay, but then ah, it nv came true, till now. And i dunno why, it just didn't happen. I think it's due to my usual stingy-ness in getting any gadgets. I'm not used to spending a lump sum at one goal. Makes me draw back my ideas sometimes. (fyi: the ipod(s) i ever had are all foc. if not i dun think i will possess any one of them) And cos my phone is also at the danger of having the whole screen gone, and my internet is pissing me off, so much so i wanted to terminate the contract plus demand for breaching waiver, so that i can get an iphone. But also, i have yet to take the action. hais. I really should take some action. When i have all the time to sit at home and talk out with the singnet ppl.
Then last thing to say abt my bday. (HAHA). It's really nothing great and so I appreciate and thank every single person who remembered my birthday and bothered to drop me a msg on fb, sms and msn. Even if u didn't wish me and actually rmb after that, it's ok! We'll try again next year. You know it's just like a test of friendship. Some all-time friends that you haven't met for quite some time, and you don't know if they are still friends to u, wait for the birthday to come. If you wished that friend happy birthday, and he/she did the same, most probably friendship still applies. Cos be honest, if u dun really regard a person as a friend, or u think he/she doesn't regard u as a close friend, you wouldn't even bother to wish him/her. Same for me! =X haha. FB is such a convenient thing now, I used to rmb all my friend's bday by hard/my organiser (which i still do). If not for fb, i dun think i get 100 wishes from my friends. So ya. Thanks for still treating me as a friend! :D I would so much wanted to list out every one of u. but that would be too tiring. Sorry. Hee.
And i need to sleep now. I hope i have have my desired possession(s) soon! :D

Asswai Chalet - June 2010
Wah. My post is really going to be so outdated. haha!!! It's abt SYCO chalet! hahahaha. Yes. That outdated. =P
Anyway, due to some miscalculations, actually i was only at the chalet for less than 24h and missed out the funniest time of all. :( Anyhows, still enjoyed the whole time there. With ppl i like. :D And this is the super disadvantage of working life... so enjoy while u are still a student. It's much, much, much more fun. But anyway i still had my bit of fun with the ppl there lah. Any time spent with them would be filled with fun and laughter. Anyone would have agreed. :)
So ya, on the first day i was already terribly late for the chalet. haha! Went home after work to get the barangs cos i dun want to bring them to work... Then after dinner i decided to wait for jon tan and joyce... Ok in the end they were the ones waiting for me at the pasir ris mrt station. haha! Then we took our own sweet time to take bus and then walk in from downtown east which is 15min or near. Haha. so by the time we reached the chalet.. it's kinda 9/9.30pm? lol. So they asked why am I so late. And the answer is so simple: because i'm from SYCO! HAHA! So true. true blue syco person. Haha!
Many were there already lah... and some leaving soon. Like what? I just reached leh! haha. But in the end still got to play some games with those who stayed till late or didn't go home. :) Some ice-breaker, actually the kids are doing not bad already, considering they are the first years while the rest of us are already there for so long and so familiar with each other. And of the ppl there, i'm the ONLY 2nd batch who stayed on throughout. can't believe it.
Like all the chalets i've been to, nv got the chance to reserve a place for myself on the bed for the night. So ruijun joeltan and i ended up sleeping on the floor and it's like damn cold. Some others didn't get to sleep as well despite having 4 rooms!! wah! They should give us some mattress as well.
We finally got to sleep while some of them went out for their breakfast/lunch and then get food back for us. Went for cycling in the afternoon, double-biked with joeltan. First time trying. Quite fun. but that joeltan cycle so fast! Anyway it started to rain so we didn't cycle for very long. And joeltan got his jacket dirty, i seriously didn't know that i helped him got it so long ago!! hahaha.
Too bad I couldn't stay for 2nd night. Can't witness joeltan's infamous acts. And the last of his acts in Sg too. :( Joeltan i will seriously miss u like mad. Pls save enough money for us to go there and find u! I'd be very happy! Or go and find/set up a CO there and ask syco to there for exchange. I'm sure we will all be VERY glad to go! :D
I'm really gonna miss every single one in SYCO if i got to leave it. (erm.. maybe not all. HAHA) Just like i said in my fb status that day, "One thing we got to learn to do with stride is letting go. I still can't do it well yet". And that's perhaps the reason why i'm still holding on to it. So many things i couldn't let go, or rather, couldn't bear to let go. I'm still learning. I'm sure i will be able to do it. Haha enough for the emo part. Heh.
Eh. I really lazy to upload the photos here. Help urself at my fb ok? hahaha.

12062010 :)
Aiyo... June is over already... :( It's kinda my fav month for these few years. Not just becos it's my bday month. In fact, i'm not really doing anything great for my bday. Just simple meet-ups with friends most of the time. The usual 2 grps of ppl now. COgang and Royal Family. However, just so happened that for these 2 years, i get to see the sy ppl on my bday! Which is a happy happy thing! :D
Hmm.. On my bday itself, I got to teach the little kid at west coast plaza before enjoying my day. So after the lesson, went down to MBS Hotel to meet my family for the Buffet. It was a sudden suggestion by myself cos my sis and I were cracking our heads as to where to eat before the weekend came. Service was really good. Food is good. Desserts are the best. I was full till night time. No joke abt that. haha! But we were too busy wanting to try everything, no time for pictures. Thank u. haha. And it was really what I call quality time. Although I very much ended my day with them after the lunch and went on to meet the asswais before the concert.
Coincidentally, for 2 years, SCO have to have a concert right on my birthday. Last year it was quite a surprise visit to the concert - The Jazz Concert. Cos i wasn't intending to go at first. But we were offered free tickets for the friday's concert (which falls on my bday itself). So eventually I went. Then this year, since I reckon that I wun be doing much on my bday as well, I might as well go for the concert cos I know it's going to be an awesome one. :) It's the 吹拉弹打 concert. And much much to my surprise, met my 2 nyco girls. So high to see them! haha. Then went to chill with them and bear and tzw after the concert. Sorry to ps the sy ppl but i really haven't seen them for a long time! =P And mr. bearbear lau very kindly send us home! :D
The concert was good anyway. Very awesome performances by the soloists!! SCO haven't had ZR solo for such a long time I can't even rmb when was the last one. Zhang is really good. Song is nice too. :) Percussion concerto was damn cool, Shen had to play whatever percussion instru written in the piece all by himself. Like WOW! ALL u know. The 2 most memoriable pieces.
Well. Anyway I thank the sy ppl for buying me a small cake. (for me to eat only). And making me wait so long for them past our meeting time. (it's a sy thing after all. haha) And singing bday song for me in the public. And had a great time with them. Thanks my dear friends. :)) I'm a happy girl on my bday. haha!

Eat, Pray, Love
Haven't really been reading much. Until lately i utilised the remaining vouchers from my friends last year. Cos they are expiring by my bday this year. haha! And with the discount from Friends of SCO card at Kinokuniya, I'm able to purchase quite a no. of books from there! (Finally something useful from the FSCO card) lol.
So Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert is one book I've been wanting to read anyway. And it's really a good one. The writer full of humor and her way of writing. Interesting stuff she experiences and I really admire her for her guts in the traveling. I wish I have the ability and the chance to do that kind of traveling in future.
It's basically abt her visit to Italy, India and Indonesia (Bali) to seek for pleasure, god and balance. And it was her trying to heal herself from the mess she'd just gotten out of back in New York. Talked abt the ppl she met on the way, how they have affected her life from then on.
The 2nd section is quite on the spiritual journey of hers. I'm not a religious nor spiritual person, but the experience she illustrated was so extensive. So focused yet funny at times. Not boring at all.
If u wanna read the book, can find me. But probably after my sis has read it. haha.

My busy life
Sometimes I do still feel that life is really quite hard on me. Chances always slip by and only come by when I already go for something that is not as desirable. Which is quite a sad thing for me.
Just that day I met up with my jc mates, and they were talking abt the bonus and whatever they are going to get this year cos they are under the govt. The benefits, and the pay and the ladder that they are able to climb, blah blah. While kim and i were really just listening. Well, I can only say the 2 of us are really out of the discussion cos 1. she's not working now, 2. we are not working under the govt, 3. our pay are so low we can't even make a good point ourselves. And i really only can say we are really serving our jobs out of passion.
Now... I can only say... I'm really very busy, but i'm not earning big bucks at all. If u ask me, for july, I have only 3 free days now. Or rather, 2 of the days, i'm only half free. -.- So it's like, only 2 days free in total. sometimes i would ask myself, what am i doing all these for? But it's kinda difficult to let go of some of the things i'm doing. First, of cos i have to do my job and do what i'm required, plus i'm paid! haha. Then for teaching, I feel that it might not be my obligation to stay there forever to teach them, but i dun want to give up so quickly. It's very little money, can't really do much to my expense cos the travel expense i need to get to the school is already like what 40% of what i get. But i don't know, I do like to teach the little children although some are really like, I dunno if I can really handle them for long. And keep changing teacher is not good for the kid(s). I want to really let them like violin and not be like me.
Then for SYCO, it's one of my biggest dilemma. I don't get paid, I have to tire myself out by rushing down to prac after work for every prac and dun get to eat dinner, then get very worn out after the prac. But my motivations are the performances that we put up tgt, and the friends that i've been with for so many years. Although quite a no. are leaving and I'm really sad to know that, I still don't know if i'm able to let it go so easily. It's really not an easy decision. And then again, if i stop syco, i might not have the motivation to continue with erhu lesson too. And erhu lesson is something i so treasure now.
Life is hard to go by, especially when i know of a friend going to work at sco, i wished i had made a different decision once. Just that now, i have to go on with life and see what is installed for me. I hope to see the light soon anyhows. Almost the end of my 2nd month here. I hope i'm doing not bad for the others. :)

I want to really let them like violin and not be like me.
Then for SYCO, it's one of my biggest dilemma. I don't get paid, I have to tire myself out by rushing down to prac after work for every prac and dun get to eat dinner, then get very worn out after the prac. But my motivations are the performances that we put up tgt, and the friends that i've been with for so many years. Although quite a no. are leaving and I'm really sad to know that, I still don't know if i'm able to let it go so easily. It's really not an easy decision. And then again, if i stop syco, i might not have the motivation to continue with erhu lesson too. And erhu lesson is something i so treasure now.
Life is hard to go by, especially when i know of a friend going to work at sco, i wished i had made a different decision once. Just that now, i have to go on with life and see what is installed for me. I hope to see the light soon anyhows. Almost the end of my 2nd month here. I hope i'm doing not bad for the others. :)

Bday for Gemini babies :D
Oh! June is ending soon and i haven't really update finish June happenings! Haha. Too busy to really sit down and blog properly. Paiseh.
The next on activity was prawning with my beloveds!!! :D It was both quite boring and interesting. Boring when there's no catch at all. Interesting and excited when u got something on the hook. We are quite noob so the no. of prawns we got is not equivalent to the amount we pay. HAHA! We got 22 prawns with 3 rods @ $90 for 3h. Oh and that's for 8 ppl. lol! We can't even have at least 3 for each person. =P
And here goes the say: 'it's the process that matters'. haha! Ya lah, at first i was really just waiting and waiting for the prawn to bite my bait. Waited here and there, i think for 1h i had nothing? While we were complaining and consoling ourselves that maybe the pond dun have a lot of prawns that's why we didn't get anything. Then the uncle from the next pond just stood over to prove us wrong by fishing a few with every bait he puts in. Probably a minute for each prawn? Unbelievable. And we were really looking at him unbelievably. Haha! In the end he gave us a few of the bait he's using. Damn cool. It really works (better). Haha! Cos eventually some baits got eaten and we didn't get the prawn. lol. Noob. =P BUT. I fished 3 prawns! So i did my part. Heh. :) After that I was going ard taking photos. haha. Jan is sad cos she had no luck until much much later. Hee. So she took photos too. haha!
The first prawn we got.
Happy with their catches!
Pose with their catch? or other ppl's catch? lol.
Really to be cooked. Heh heh. :D
Since we dun have enough catch to have them for dinner, we just oven grill and eat them up. Quite nice though~ :D And then proceed to have our dinner at Old Airport Rd instead. haha. Western food, carrot cake, claypot rice, hokkien hei mee, chicken wing and what else? I can't rmb. haahha. And sugar cane and tau huay. Tau huay was good. like really good. :)
Then after that we tried to find a place to get a grp photo and..... the only place we found was the old airport rd market sign outside. LOL. And we look like some tourist partly cos i was using dslr? And we were discussing abt that while trying to find a trustable passerby to help us take. And indeed! That person asked where are we from once he took the picture for us. Lol. We all laughed out loud. Should have told him then, Various places in the east of sg. haha.
We look like tourist?
After that home sweet home liao. cos monday work. haha.
Anyways, a Holga for me and a bright pink Adidas jacket for qinqin! :D

Exciting June Part 2
Then comes the annual SYCO concert. This year no outing was planned before the the concert. Which was a bit boring, and i feel this year is quite neglected by everyone. Including our umbrella. cos we weren't even given dinner. And so i didn't have dinner... cos of a lot of reason. But nvm. U still know there's fun once everyone is there. like instantly. :)
First we have this toilet party where so many were stuck in the toilet putting on make up, with rachel and zixin esp. long with their eyeliners. lol. It's quite funny lah. Until it was like time to go out to meet via to pass her the tix. Saw the cc ppl as well. mel haven't reach by the time i had to go in. Dad and mum too. tsk tsk. Anyway, 2 guys put jj's aeroplane so i didn't get to see them. hais.
Okay, to the concert. I thought it was really quite good. Given the kind of stuff we were producing on our last week's rehearsals. haha! And i admit i did play a few places wrongly. =X I think i was too focused in i dunno what. And i have to say that just talking abt the SYCO songs, this year's songs are one of the nicest we have performed so far, though there were many songs we loved as well. And as usual, the combine song for SY and the teachers is really good! I love that song since last year, the first few times i listen to its recording. Too happy to believe that we will be playing this piece when i saw it was still pending for approval from MD last year. I was secretly praying that he will approve it. Haha! And he did! Overjoyed! :D
Then was crazy photo taking session during the concert break. And after that actually cos we are free till the combine song. Haha. And dunno why some ppl are nowhere to be found. lol.

Cool. I like. :)
Then after concert. Finally got to see my parents and the 2 friends. My mum actually went to the autograph session, to tell mr quek that she's my mother again. HAHA! My mother that is. -.- So anyways we didn't had time to go up for the autograph cos the chats and photo-taking downstairs is taking up too much time seriously. By the time i want to go up, they were all down already. Chey! Still took a photo with jj in the end lah. Junior leh. haha!
RAH! but i think same as last year, no recordings for us!! as in no vcd or dvd given to us anymore. BOO! Because of someone we all know who. yucks.
Then our usual routine to LPS. lol. The ny ppl came too. Had a great time lah. Them and their craps. like wth. We had so many ppl, there were so many grps. cc ppl were there with jj as well. Eat eat eat and laugh laugh laugh lah. and doing stupid stuff. Then drag drag drag to get off that place. Wanted to come home but in the end went to daryl's house with the rest. Didn't do much, just talk. Talked abt quite a lot of stuff, which are quite random sometimes. haha. But good time with the sy ppl lah.
In the end came back in the morning with junan and shenglong. Coincidentally, my er-jie just returned as well! It was like 5.30am at least? lol! And luckily i was only meeting the beloveds in the afternoon. which i was still late! lol. Okay, continue next entry. Got to sleep. i got outbreak these few days! damn irritating.

Exciting June Part 1
I realised i haven't blogged from start of the month till now! Everyday of june is like packed with all the things in my life. haha! Like seriously! How can my life be so filled with things one moment and so empty the other? lol!
First week of June is like that time we always look forward to. :) Although it's like intensive rehearsal for sy annual concert.

So this year we had:

Call in on air!! :D
Shall blog while memory is still fresh. Like WOW! I called in to jiafa's programme again! 2nd time! LOL! Somemore he was only covering for peifen this week. :D I rmb i called in once when he was the host for night programme. So i went to check and TADA! Click here to see the post. :) I rmb it was like the last 1 or 2 weeks before they change shift again.
And again! Ytd night i was just trying my luck... Lying on my bed, with specs off already. After a few 'Number Busy's and 'Network Busy', i suddenly saw 'Call 1'! I was so shocked! HOHOHO. So faster listen lah... he haven't pick up yet.. so i was praying that he would pick it up and YEAH! He did! lol. I super happy lah! hahah. He asked me to hang on a while cos it was still at the commercial period. I wanted to tell the rest.. but not enough time sia.. hahaha! And i was at a loss. i went to kitchen to on the radio first so i can speak louder. haha!
The call went on air and chatted for quite a while. Haha.. He asked if i'm still a student first. Haha! And if i always listen until so late. Actually before i started working, by the time i listen to the radio at night, it's always after the shifts. But also same as listen until very late right. haha. Then talked abt my work nature and workplace. Then he ask me '做得开心吗?' I said all right... 不错, then he say 也不能说不好对吗？等一下别人听到。Exactly. Haha!
Anyway i dedicated the song to asswai ppl, to let us all work towards concert this sat and it will go all well! :) Then he asked what instru i played. I wanted to say erhu but i playing gh in asswai leh. So i say gh lah. Then he dunno what is gh. lol. so funny lah.. I was trying to explain lor. 他和二胡长得差不多，声音比较高，但身高没有比较高。Haha! I feel like slapping myself. lol. So he asked abt asswai also... like how long we prepared and is it very tough. blah blah blah.
So it ended with him saying, '如果你也跟宛颖一样，这个星期六有表演，那祝你们演出成功。' Erm. Something like that. I think i was too happy i can't really rmb all. hahahahaha. U all try these few days lah. Let's own it.
PS: it took me 3 repeats of my name to get him say it right. But at least he said it right at the end. :)))
PSS: I was hoping that he will play the JJ song after the dedication but the song that was right after the dedication was 蔡淳佳's 等一个晴天, then after that was JJ's 会有那么一天. :)

Random feelings
Suddenly i rmb something.
We were in my aunt cum godma's car and we were talking abt my sis' wedding. Then she asked me when i getting a boyfriend. like -.- Then i said, erm... '要找就会有的meh? 找工作都找这么久了，男朋友应该没有那么快啦.' Like the best ans i can give. Seriously not like i do not want, but is really don't have. So what can i do?
But seriously i dunno is i suay or what lah... Ok i think i suay. Have been suay lately, I mean still suay. I haven't won any money from mahjong since i dunno when. I haven't had something which i really want it to happen. Whichever thing i didn't want it to happen, it just will.
Life is a game. But even if i play it right, i will get to the end first? I'm not sure about that. But suayness haven't left me yet. Or so i think.
Dreams. Ambitions. Reality
Yeap, it's been another week since. And i could say... it was quite a relaxing week. Relaxing in the sense, not so much work and enough time for play. :)
But actually, life for me isn't really exciting this way. So I'd rather i have more things to do? Well, maybe. And yet we complain about how tiring it is when we have too many things to do. Pure irony.
Anyway, i was watching 就想赖着你 today and 杨朵 said that she had always worked to survive and never was able to pursue what she really likes. She saw the lawyer's eyes flicker with excitement and light when he talks about law. It makes her want to pursue her dreams. And she will go all the way to do it. When i heard that, I was actually quite touched.
How many people can actually pursue their dreams and do something they like? Well, I can say that i didn't really realise my dream. My first ambition was a teacher. I mean i really like to teach, but I dunno where is my ability in teaching. Although i like it, i dun think i'm up to such a job. Then as the years go by, my dream is to be a DJ of my fav radio station. Becos i listen to the radio everyday since i was a kid. Probably ever since i have a memory of listening to a radio. I want to share the best music to my ears to everyone listening to the radio. I will allow no lousy music in my programme. My dream. But i dun think it will ever be a dream come true.
Anyway, it was never my dream to be a performer or musician, although i like to play the instrument and likes to perform with everybody else. It's the combine effort which i always adore and is proud of. So my next ambition is to lead a whole orchestra, to be proud of my members as i stay behind the scenes to take care of other stuff. Yet, I still didn't have the chance. I'm still waiting. The road is still long before me. I will still work for what I want. For now, i'm happy to be doing something related to my interest.
I have a friend who always complain about the job and the amount earned. I would say the complaints come from the dissatisfaction from the job. The pay is probably double of what i earn. But i nv complained abt my job. Becos i'm doing what i like and my friend is not. And if my friend is sensitive enough, things like 'i think the pay is really not very high and not enough'. I mean, look at what your friends are earning, they complained but they enjoyed it too. I guess you didn't. I look forward to the day your bond ends so you can go and do something else. (which might not pay as high as well).
I wouldn't say I want to see the light in front of my now, since I just started out. I couldn't be more ambitious than doing what I should and earning my experiences. I'm much more than happy even if i have to travel so far every day and not coming home for dinner cos of other commitments. I like what i'm doing now, including work, syco, teach and learn. Each and every thing i do, I find the satisfaction in it, and i think this is what everyone should look for. :)

asswai concert coming!
SYCO concert is coming again. There's no prac the next week, by the time we start prac again the week after, we gonna each other for the whole week! :D The totally <3 week. haha!
Still rmb last year i had this bad withdrawal syndrome cos i woke up the next morning after concert and still thought that it was the concert day. LOL! That was quite funny actually. But actually this year there was so much less activities... And less talk time too. :( Think mostly becos everyone is more busy with their life now.. well, including myself lah. So less outings, less supper (for me) = less trips home tgt, blah blah blah.
Although i know the last week before concert is going to be hectic, especially when i've already gone through the same process last year when i work temp here. But, i think it's going to be fulfilling and fun! Are we going to have our colour days this year again!? :) I'm looking forward to the concert anyhows! If u haven't grab ur ticket. Go get it NOW! hahaha.
And i'm happy about some friends going. look forward look forward! LOL! :)))

The kids...
Today my violin kid got a bad scolding. Poor her and not really very poor thing also. haha! I was very stern with her today cos I dunno why she has to keep laughing during lesson and doesn't want to listen to me. Apparently i think her mother heard everything outside the classroom. And when the lesson ended, she came in and gave her a lecture, and asked her to apologise to me, which, she finds it funny too. -.- And difficult to say it out. I think she's scared, but used the smile to hide it. 'Sorry' is really difficult to say. I wanted to say 'it's ok' when she couldn't say it out, but i decided that I shouldn't be so soft-hearted on her. Maybe it will teach her a small lesson and she will listen to me from then. I mean, hopefully. haha!
Ya, from first lesson till now, i think every week she will at least say once 'you don't know one lah'. Excuse me, if i don't know, how i teach you? -.- I'm so going to ban her from saying that.
While this one is too noisy, the other kid is too quiet. And he do work so slow! (for a primary 4 i.e.). And he doesn't want to ask even if he doesn't know. So he just stares at the page until i ask him. And he actually yawned during the lesson. -.- Hello, i've been working the whole day too ok. Hais.
Now i've got another new student anyway. Sat at west coast plaza. Yup. Still very far. And i'm taken away from my gym sessions totally. :( But anyway. Last week it was the 2nd lesson with this little girl. And she took some time to praise me from top to bottom, as in my necklace, clothes, shoes. LOL. I think cos she wants to talk and dun want to play violin. Smart kid. But a bit stressful cos her dad and elder sister can play violin too. haha. Then this one, ask her to play whole bow, dun want to listen. then tell me very hard. -.- If not hard, don't need to learn and practise alrdy right. haha. funny.
Ok. That's all for now. Look out for more of the kid's amusing acts.

Erhu . music . life
Haven't talk abt my erhu lesson for a long time now.
It's been slightly more than half a year since learning from zhulin laoshi. So far so good? Very fulfilling lessons. Practising yang guang and jiang nan and qin qiang now. Actually is quite xiong. lol! I think he has quite high expectations of me.. and of cos i have high expectations of myself lah. Just that, i'm a bit worried abt the future lessons cos i don't know if i really have the time to practise bit by bit. sighs. But i'll still try my best lah.
Learning jiang nan from him makes me realise that jiang nan is really not easy. No matter how hard i tried, couldn't get the feeling right. And i think it's kinda my own technical problem. and i'm not working hard enough ba.
Plus, now i've got to teach on 2 weekday nights and weekend aftn. Where do i find time? My weekday nights are ALL devoted to music-related stuff alr. Mon and Wed mostly SY, Tues and Fri teach violin, Thurs usually erhu lesson. !!! Oh actually is my everyday life that is devoted to music-related stuff. Including my job. Haha! Good thing to me though, it's like dream come true to have my life all revolving ard things i like. Just that maybe i do like more things than just music. haha.

My issue...
Today i suddenly thought of something which happened earlier this year.. and all along i didn't tell anyone. And i think no one else knew abt this cos i was the coordinator, and probably the person who said it. I'm not going to put any names down, i just want to rant it off.
We are arranging to meet a friend (A) for dinner/supper before she flies off. As there were quite a few of us, it was a bit difficult to arrange a time good for everyone. So there was a lot of smses to and fro. And i dunno, i might have confused some ppl along the way cos i sent different msges to A and the rest of the grp. Eventually, i managed to get most of the grp on a certain day which A said that she is fine with it alrdy.
So when i cfm the dinner meeting time with A, the reply i got was that A thought it would be supper. And goes on to say that she's having dinner at home with her family. I admit that it's my mistake to assume the time she is available to meet us. And becos A takes a very long time to reply each of my msg, and time is tight, so i didn't double check with her beforehand. Yup, my fault. So i tried to salvage it lah. I told the rest abt the situation i think. Then B told me that it's fine, but she can't stay too late cos of important school stuff next morning. And i told A abt it and ask her to come after her dinner, like as early as she can make it. My heart sank when i saw the next reply. 'my mum is cooking dinner specially for me. So i can only make it after dinner. You guys can eat first. It's ok if i don't see B. Meet her year end then.' I feel sad all of the sudden, sad for B, sad for myself, and sad for us all. She may have said the same abt me too.
Suddenly i felt like saying 'let's just forget abt the meet up', since A doesn't seem to see a need to. But i didn't say that out lah, just that i was quite emo for a while.
Ya.. my fault for the miscommunication... but she doesn't have to be so cold abt it. I felt that i have made a lot of effort for the close friends ard me and sometimes things like that just makes me feel a bit disappointed. And makes me think if all these while it's worthed me doing it.
A lot of thoughts still lingers within me, i don't know but sometimes when i think of such stuff, i will hold back for a while. But in the end, i still can't resist and try to do something i can to make things work.
If u know who and what i'm talking abt, you may want to talk to me abt it, but anything, i don't care. I don't know if u still read my blog, (and if u still rmb u said all these), you may want to think abt it. I don't know what's ur feeling when u told me those words. I really have no idea. I have no idea if we were still friends like we were.
Period.

Bubble-tea craze
Lately the BubbleTea craze is kinda back again. Same for me! KOI, Q-Essentials mostly. And it's like back to the >$2 age for a cup.
It reminds me of a bad experience with bubble tea back in the secondary school days. My friends and i were so into bbt that we go for different ones everyday after school. That was the sec 2 days... And i really mean everyday! For how long i can't rmb. But my favourite during that time was Chocolate ice-blended with Chocolate pearl. I love the chocolate pearl! HAHAH! But was damn ex for me last time lah.
But this incident i will nv forget. It was the day of Maths Paper 2 for final examination, in my opinion, one of the most important and confident paper. Just before the paper, my period came and i got cramp!!! Like damn jialat cramp. I took the normal Panadol pill, but no use lah. So still have to go for the exam right. But the pain is like making me tremble and lost focus. I can't rmb if i managed to finish the paper. But i was sweating and trembling the whole time during the paper.. Totally cmi. In the end i didn't do very well for the paper. Which was quite saddening. only 30/50 :( Luckily Paper 1 not bad and still make it to the first class. lol.
But ever since that time, i nv had bbt everyday anymore. At most like twice per week. Anyway there's one period whereby bbt faded out and there wasn't nice bbt ard. Until last year like that then we have good bbt in the market. So we are all back to the bbt craze! :D
Too bad nus doesn't have it... so i guess i'm going for healthy choices, i.e. juices! hahahaha! Good for myself. :)

NYCO Concert 2010 - 春回大地
The first NYCO Concert all these years. :) Really a happy occasion though there was a lot of unforeseen incidents.
A lot of mixed feelings for myself also. Think i'm the oldest on stage (excluding ding). And well, the only one from my batch. Looking at all my juniors, I'm rather proud of them actually. haha! I'm quite surprised that NYCO can produce this kind of sound and music. I like 大地回春. Nice song!
But i think next time we could really have a solely CO concert. Too much of gz. And i dun really like gz. haha! Too few combine items. :( Thus the alumus were really very free and have too much time in between items. Bonding with the other alumus. :)
And coincidentally we had at least one alumni from each batch. Cool. Me from 04, Julian 05, Mingkwang 06, Dominic, weijian and huifang 07, zhiwen and pauline 08. Wow. not bad. hahaha! Too bad the rest can't come. Exams period. :( But nvm, i hope we are having some alumni outing soon! I miss my people seriously!
And now that the concert is over, dun even know when is the next time i will go back to nyjc and meet the nyco ppl. *shrugs*

五月天!
17 April:
- Circle Line starts operation.
- Stadium station is packed with ppl.
- 2 Pop concerts going on at the same area. (S.H.E & Mayday)
- Watching a pop rock concert which looks like NDP sometimes. haha! (Fireworks damn cool, but too sudden most of the time)
- A very HIGH night. Thou nv jump ard and we seat very very far from the stage, still, enjoyed the show overall.
- They nv sing some of my fav songs of theirs. :( Like 而我知道, 倔強, 時光機, 牙關, 武裝, etc.
- But they sang 瘋狂世界, 天使, 知足, 你不是真正的快樂, 離開地球表面 and blah blah blah. Actually some i've nv heard before. Then i realised actually i know more of S.H.E's songs. haha!
- Luckily I brought raincoats to the event. Rain has stopped. BUT the seats are all wet (and dirty). haha. Raincoat is not used to cover the body but the seat so we could sit on it. haha. Ppl at Cat 1 are pretty saddening as the whole field is filled with mud due to the really heavy downpour earlier in the afternoon. (my shoes are one of the victims.. not at the stadium but outside ny) Sad cos the shoes are barely a month old at that time.
Will upload some photo here soon. Not much thou. too far and manual focus camera lens. lol!

Pre-concert
Tmr's gonna be NYCO's concert.
Thinking of nyco. It's the place which i had the most memories in my jc life. We went to the coffee shop which i always go with the grp almost after every sat prac. We sat there for 2-3h talking and laughing... discussing abt school stuff, co stuff, and other funny things. But i dunno... the feelings of going to that coffee shop totally changed. haha
Anyway... nyco was the most uneasy time i had in ny too. haha! Cos of some personal reason. lol!
And then, the co room is so different from what it used to be. Dun have the same old feeling sitting in there or even, stepping in there. It's SO messy now! Dunno what they doing. Rubbish all over the floor, dusty floor. Everything lying around. Instruments here and there. Scores here and there. It used to be so neat during our time. tsk tsk tsk.
But anyhows, i'm quite happy to be back. Except that quite sad that my batch ppl and my junior batch ppl can't come back cos of exams. :( They are not even watching. Oh-so-sad. Too bad lah. I miss them, really.
Still, hope the concert will be a success tmr. And that everything will go well! :)

Via's Bday Celebration
Aiya... too many backlogs already. =x
Last sunday had a great time with the Beloveds... Traveled far to the west for fun and then to the north for food. Lol! :)
First to Science Centre. Went there for the Pixar Exhibition. There's quite a few interesting stuff there. The animations so cute. They wanted to steal the drawings back sia. lol! But no lah. crazy meh. In the end, though they say photography not allowed, but guess what, we saw a lot of ppl snapping away sia. Then we were thinking why we so obedient. So... Yup. :D
Spent quite some time there looking all the different stuff. The carousel damn cute lah. the idea behind the whole thing is damn cool. And the disc is spinning SO FAST! like wow! It was great invention.
Watched other short clips which were made at the earlier period. So cute lah! but can see last time the skills really not so good. heh.
Then 3plus. We all hungry liao. So went to mac for some food first. Nuggets and more nuggets! lol
Went back to visit other exhibits. The sound section. Some of the stuff quite interesting. Tried almost all ba.. Got this station where we have to listen to the sound and determine which speaker the sound came from. Got so many speakers so close tgt lor. Difficult. But could have done better. lol
Then another one was this telephone booth. Have to talk while listening to the telephone 'talk'. So it's call listening-while-talking. It's supposed to tell a joke. But damn difficult. cos u have to talk then the phone will 'talk' also. Once you stop, the phone also stop. So in the end, I also dunno what the joke is. haha!
Then there's this showcase of iron dust dancing to music. Damn cool and cute. Magnets are placed and the whole plate filled with iron dust. As the music played. The magnets are programmed in order to attract the iron dust at different speed, amount, angle and so on to form a 'dance'. It says that it takes 40h to cheorograph just 1min of dance. Like WOW!
Then went to the virus section. Quite interesting too. Teach us how the virus looks like and how it is spread blah blah blah. Quite a small area but informative. Just that, i didn't read all of it lah. haha.
After that also almost time le wor. Like so fast! So many exhibits not visited yet. Why last time school nv bring us to science centre more often? Because i fell down during the trip in sec 1? lol!
Ok lah.. then we traveled to AMK for crab beehoon. Had KOI!!! Hohoho. Good to kill our waiting time at the crab queue. By the time we finished all the drinks, haven't even reach our turn to be seated. lol.
I like the beehoon crab. Cos the meat soaked in the soup. Got very sweet taste. :D Other dishes are nice too... Just that really have to wait very long. lol. But worth it i think. A great dinner to end the day with the girls.
Pictures up at FB already. :D Till the next outing with my Beloveds! :)))

New things to do
I've gotten a new task just on fri. I was a bit shocked to hear from them so quickly. In the first place, i was quite surprised that the female boss talked to me for so long and i already believed that i will be given the job.
Anyway, not to keep you in further suspense, I'm going to teach violin in a music school. I think it might sound cool to some ppl, sounds cool to me too! Not until u hear the rest. Though the place is far (either yishun or west coast plaza), i don't find really find it a problem actually.
And so, I'm going to start next fri, or earlier if a make-up class for a student is required. Just 2 days ago i went down to observe the lesson which i will be taking over. 2 altogether, but 1 student didn't come, so i only saw 1. But trust me, it is almost enough to make me think of how i should teach her. According to her mother, she has some illness when she was younger, but all right, that wasn't really the problem. She is a little over active, plus very talkative. haha! She argued with the teacher regarding fingering!
From what the previous teacher said, she learned violin in school, probably went through a few teachers who teaches differently. She can't recognise the physical notes although she can play. (she can only recognise ABCD). So we double up as a theory teacher as well. She has quite an opinion of her own. So, we always complain our music lessons in school to be so boring. Now they let the students play different instrument. Yet, what is the disadvantage? They didn't even teach the students properly. I saw that she didn't even hold the bow properly. Oh, we have too much to complain. haha.
Ok. That was problem 1.
Then again, the other kid is quite similar as well. Playful and can even bargain what he wants to do in the lesson. Hmm.. What's wrong with kids nowadays really. I think the hard time is to discipline them and make them learn what they do not like.
Yup. That was problem 2.
With these 2 problems, it's a challenge already. I've nv taught anyone violin before. I hope i don't freak out when the lesson really starts. Then i thought why i was given these 2 students from the previous teacher. Reason? haha! I don't want to know anymore. Anyway, I don't call this work, i call this testing myself! Good luck to me!
