It's been long since i talked abt the movies, concerts, plays, musicals, whatever events i attended. (been long since i last blogged anyway) =x And the albums i bought.. too many to update. I have at least 10 things on my list not updated. haha! But the thing is i've been to quite a few and also bought quite a no. of albums. ah... money sucking businesses.. but i dun care!
1. Charlie St. Cloud
Watched the movie with my da-jie @Iluma. Zac Efron is so good looking pls. HAHA! Anyway it's really a heartwarming piece of work. And I really do like Efron even more after the show. He has really beautiful eyes. I think i already said that when i saw him in Hairspray. hahaha! Yup, definitely the type of movie i like. Heh.
2. Sun Huang's Recital
Went to watch the recital with a few others @ Esplanade Recital Studio. She's really good with her techniques. Played with a lot of emotions and expressed to the fullest. However, we all agreed that that are some songs which are so not for her style. And, encore piece was Flight of the Bumble Bee, done in less than a minute! Like crazy omg.
3. Buffet @ Melt the World Cafe (Mandarin Oriental)
Went to their buffet dinner with my royals. Many exciting stuff! But overall was all right, catch up a lot with them. Plus, it's the first time i saw von chia ever since she came back from sydney! haha! It's been a really long time. I really miss the times we used to study (play most of the time) tgt. Anyhows, had a good time gossiping abt everything (outside and within us). Nv a grp of friends of mine have this kind of talking power. seriously, sometimes it's just embarrassing with them. But well, we are in our own world. LOL. Joke: We will eat at all the places until all of them ban us from going cos we are too noisy. =x
4. Nike Human Race
The race came right on the next day after the buffet. HAHA! Thing is i didn't really train much. and so stamina was like. hais. And it was sunny that day. And what was disappointing was the finisher gift. damn sian.
In the end we went for Mac breaky after the run and some of us 'dispose' the useless nike figurine there.
Then the rest of the afternoon was spent in bed and the toilet. Something went wrong somehow, i just kept on going to the toilet. sian ttm.

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!

Night Cycling
I realised that there are too many happenings with the asswai ppl. lol.
One day after E-awards, we went to zhiwen's house for some random stuff.. Haha. But i have to admit that i do not like to see every gathering is just so that they can gamble. It's fine to have small gambles for entertainment's sake once in a while, like during big occasions but then not like every week or every other day. Moreover they are all students. But well, it's the kind of life they want and i'm fine with them gambling and me just looking or hanging ard with the other non-gamblers. haha.
So anyway, Last week we met for 5 days and 4 days for this week! Like working like that. See zhiwen see until sian liao. LOL. And yet, seeing her again later.
Night cycling with zhiwen, xunqi and desmond on fri. HAHA! Hand and butt pain. i dunno sia but both my palms are like very stiff. But today better. Ytd was like... Can't really do much.. i was sleeping most of the time anyway. LOL! It goes like this. Started off from ECP at 10pm. Cycled to fort road carpark or something like that for safety brief and then cont the trip. the briefing takes a bit long, so started off quite late too. Then, we got disconnected with the leading pack and we missed a turn at aljunied. By right we could have taken another route, but the organisers took us back to the correct route and i respected that cos they are the organisers. So that took us quite a lot of time cos we could only push our bikes on the pavement in the opposite direction of the one-way traffic. couldn't cycle cos too many obstacles on the pavement lah. Got to MS area.. Rested for a while and carried on to Jalan Kayu. Prata was all right, drink was good until some fly flew right into the cup. -.- and there's still bandung inside which i wanted! Tsk.
Then we had to cut the journey cos it would have taken up too much time. Actually we only went one more stop. Stopped somewhere at lentor ave, and some decided to cont with the original plan to cycle to orchard and then back to ECP. While the rest of us took the choice of going back to ECP straight. But eventually we didn't make it back to ECP. Somemore, we broke off again from the front grp. Hmm... need some reflection here.
Ok.. classes at CFA have all ended i think... so that's all first! :D Going to zhiwen's chalet! haha. Asswai again.

OCBC Cycle 2010 - I survived
Alarm goes off at 4am of 7 March 2010.
(Actually i turned it off and only woke up at the alarm from my sis' phone. LOL!)
Soon we are on our way in a cab to the F1-pit. Reached there slightly before 5am, waited for the rest to arrive and went to get our bike. My first instinct was, bike quality is not bad, looks new, better than those we usually rent at ECP. The whole bike is rather new with the better kind of gear control grip and rather new seat too. Just that. it's really hard.
Flag-off for 40km was at 6am. But by 5.45am, a lot of bikers have already gathered at the starting point ready for the race while we were still having our drinks and food from Starbucks counter. Oh at least we had something before going off.
Good thing the weather was really good. And probably cos it's very early in the morning. No sun yet. Feels damn good cycling. Sometimes i feel myself going too fast but every other second another person overtakes me! Haha. Stopped once to have a drink. That's all. Some motivators really did their job well and it does make a difference. :D The fast riders too give me some motivation to go faster. And that's probably why we finished the whole race much earlier than we expected of ourselves.
Yea. Quite proud of myself. haha! Maybe my category got lesser ppl. Women 19-24years old. Haha!
All of us after the race. Too tired to stand up to take photo.. but then all ready to go for out breakfast! HAHA!
My bib no. and medal. Heard last year's medal was gold. This year is silver. Like downgraded. hahaha!
Ya.. That's all. Looking forward to the next! :D

Some motivators really did their job well and it does make a difference. :D The fast riders too give me some motivation to go faster. And that's probably why we finished the whole race much earlier than we expected of ourselves.
Yea. Quite proud of myself. haha! Maybe my category got lesser ppl. Women 19-24years old. Haha!
All of us after the race. Too tired to stand up to take photo.. but then all ready to go for out breakfast! HAHA!
My bib no. and medal. Heard last year's medal was gold. This year is silver. Like downgraded. hahaha!
Ya.. That's all. Looking forward to the next! :D

First weekend of Dec
Woah... First weekend of Dec over... we are another step nearer to 2010 now. Hmm... That's really fast! I'll be spending the 2nd weekend of Dec in HK! In like 3 days... I will be flying to HK with kim and han! omg. That is so... i dunno. Anticipating. I hope the trip wouldn't seem too short for us. HAHA! (I haven't even started packing yet. i'm dead)
Last weekend was... Exciting? haha! And nerve breaking too. Ok... anything could be nerve breaking for me.. including watching the horror movie with the nyco ppl. LOL. Ok that's besides the point.
And ya.. the audition was nerve breaking too! I was all fine until i really get into the room. BUT somehow i was quite composed and I tried to calm myself down mentally while playing and without playing wrongly. Was a bit wobbly for the choice piece which was like 'how can it be' cos it should be better. Some of the notes were obviously out of the intonation... but surprisingly i played one part (which i always flopped) nicely! The note was clear and i did it during the repeat too. Haha! Or maybe i wasn't playing fast enough. But i dun care. lol. Set piece was fine! Sight reading was ok... except for the half notes... a bit tricky... and a lot of ppl got caught off guard over there too.
After the playing zhang commented a bit on my intonation. He asked me if i know which note i didn't play accurately.. Err.. I wanted to say a lot! haha! But he said that my first finger is nv accurate in intonation at first position. if i had shifted it to the correct position. it would be all fine.
Ok. Accepted. Then i vaguely heard guo commenting my yin se was quite all right while zhang continued to comment on my instrument. Teachers are really teachers... just one look and they knew it. Haha! If not for the tight time already i think they would have taken more info off me. lol. Like who i bought it from and who made it and blah blah blah.
Then today! 2 ppl are making me nervous by asking me if i got in already. Like I dunno lah! But made me wanna know... Plus my boss mentioned that guo says some of us didn't play very well during the audition. dunno from which section and who. so dun ask me. Well... i hope those whom i hope they will stay, will stay. the others... just go back to where you were. sorry.
Yea. Sunday was the standard chartered marathon. First time going on a 10km. And i left my friends behind after like 2 or 3 km. I can't rmb. Seems quite far cos i kept on looking forward to the next km covered. It took so long for us to see the 5km mark. And i thought 'omg now just 5km'? What i've gotten back? A medal, a satisfactory timing, a pair of muddy track shoes, a few incidents i clearly rmb, and some blisters. lol! But i think it was worth. I saw someone wrote on the tag behind, 'Limits are meant to be broken'. I thought, 'wow! that was cool!' He/she is right, we do not only meet our limits but should try to break it, so that we will not always stay on the spot. Interesting. There are a lot of interesting/encouraging quotes... Next time i should put 1 too. Haha! It really makes the person behind you feel better while running.
Ok... I'm feeling hungry now.. so i should go sleep now. Bye!
