NYJC 30th anni!
Been doing the jacky chan flyers thing for the last 2 days (thurs and fri)... Erm... i would just say that i might not do it for long.. haha! Reason is very simple... actually not one but a few lah.. just that the main one is.. i realise i cannot stand for too long... the ache problem is coming back... then the secondary reason is that it's really rather boring cos i'm doing solely on my own... so sianx lor. haha! Anyway i'm just using my freetime with a little more worth.. so ya.. we'll see..
Went back to nyjc today for its 30th anniversary... can see that it's really a big big event... just look at the amount of money the school spent.. and well... i didn't even spent a cent there and still get good experience and stuff... A 153-page commemoration booklet...A CD-rom with good quality cover... and good food... free games (which i didn't play at all)... and performance and whatever. stayed till ard 8 and left with deshun... cos dunno where jon lau gone to... and ken was still talking to a tutor although he kept saying that he's going off.. haha.. then saw jiewan on the way out.. and we chatted be4 parting to home...
Met a lot of 'long-lost' friends... Jiewan one of them... haven't seen her for quite a long time le... was the last time the rss gathering last year?! OMG! more than a year!! Let's have one in June? my birthday coming! haha~! Oh... my classmates i saw.. only 3... shizhen, fangyu and weiwu... after the performance.. weiwu was already nowhere to be found... spoke to shizhen for a while.. she was with her SC friends... and met fangyu when she just reached and when she's leaving... :) Er.. why so few huh? haha! Then still got... Xiangming and Ruijie lor.. they so funny.. esp. ruijie lah.. with the mickey mouse pullover.. what is he thinking? lol. then... a few other acquaintances lor... haha.. spoken to a few teachers as well... erm... that's all ba... sounds boring right.. cos i dun have many friends who went.. Oh.. and andrew as well... providing some sound system for the dedication booth... haha! And i heard he opening 2nd company! like 'WAH'... yes.. he's really capable... even thou he just enlisted not long ago.. haha!
Realised that quite a no. of tutors are not teaching in NY anymore.... including PPP.. erm... some will understand who i'm talking abt lah... haha... then.. ms avril tay, ms yue, mr tong, my neighbour, and a few more lah... can't rmb le... hmm.. a waste or a celebration? hard to say.. haha! but for someone.. i guess the ans is clear.. right?
Whatever it is... Quite a good day at ny lah... so still.. Happy 30th Anniversary/Birthday to Nanyang JC! :)
Ok.. i think that's all... one more day at novena tmr... found a new way to go there.. by bus i mean... must make full use lah! lol.. Nitex! :)

Practice. Practise. Thanks!
First thing... let me thank caiwen for helping me ask for the job... i'm really grateful and thus will be working for cali fitness to distribute flyers be4 i find a decent part-time job.. :) But then.. so sad no one replied to my email yet leh! Why!!! Aiya.. will i end up having no job this hol again? cos the cali fitness one... to be truthful is really very little.. i think i'm spoilt by samsonite. haha! But then again.. since i'm doing it.. i wun complain also lah... at least i have some income to support myself... SO meanwhile... try finding me on the streets of orchard, dhoby ghaut, novena or raffles. lol.
Then.. Thanks to caiwen.. again.. for bringing me to amk hub.. where i bought 2 pieces of clothing.. but nice lah! She bought more than me. haha!!! Erm... good time shopping! (thou the place isn't very big)
Today.... felt quite accomplished although it could be better... if not for me feeling tired in the afternoon.. i could have practised for a longer period... but i only practised a while and i went for a nap... =P Anyway... i was alone for SY sectionals today... cos the 3 of them... all nv come lah.. at least i was notified be4 hand.. haha... So actually thanks to them who didn't make it to sectionals... i had the chance to let laoshi hear and correct my jiang nan... :))) We actually went thru all the 4 combine songs within one and half hour... and then rest a while and he taught me jiang nan! :))) Happy! got time have to practise! But then aiya.. nv record down the session.. if not i will benefit more.. cos i always tend to forget what he said.. =x too bad.. lai bu ji record.. when i finally thought of it.. it was nearing the end liao.. pengx. Hopefully next week he can listen to me again for one more time.. Thanks gaohu mates. Heex. And of cos thanks laoshi!!

Anyway!! I'm looking for a holiday job.. maybe i do need an office job instead of retail and running ard... last time was cos Samsonite is flexible cos i get to choose... and i always work morning shift.. but now... Samsonite got too many ppl!!! Haix. thanks to my mum... for introducing my cousin to work there.. in turn my cousin's cousins also went to work.. and there are really a lot of part-timers... so i have no chance at all lah... sianx.

sad lah.
Erm.. what can i say.. i dunno why am i so bothered about the words.. but i'm just bothered lah... the moment i came back and saw those words on the msn nick.. immediately i knew they were reply to my tag... and something not nice. at least to me even if it didn't mean what i thuoght. and so i went to confirm at the blog and true enough it's for me. and i just felt something sharp poking into my heart... pain. real pain. i seriously thought that we are friends instead of just classmates. but maybe... some times i can be wrong. haix... looks like i'm not as strong as i thought and as others thought... At least i have the courage and courtesy to put my name there lah... i mean someone just put 'Someone' lah... so well.. thanks for making feel worse.
I am sad.. for these words.. "me>wanying: yes dats the extent fyi. if u don like it, u can always make a new one and maintain it urself." added to the msn nick was... "i'm sure u do a great job" Really.. saying that.. i've slapped myself with my words was the only phrase i could think of...

Saturday of COs.
Erm.. i could only say... nyco needs to put in a lot more effort... i mean seriously... it seems like everyone is still not into the situation yet... maybe they just didn't take it as heavy as we did... although i didn't cry when we got the results doesn't mean i'm not sad. it's just that... when we performed... i already knew that we have no chance.. but.. this time... they were like already beaten even be4 going. hmm... THEY NEED MORE PRACTICES. Haha! Jon lau and siuhon went too... then just be4 i left.. they were making fun of me lah! Bish! u 2... gei wo ji zhu!
Anyway.. the help-out.. ok ba.. but legs were damn tired.. cos no chair lor.. And really busy lor.. cos only me and sylvia for strings... so 2 of us had 4 instrus to take care... and practically there's not enough hands and mouth and ears and eyes to do it... Anyway... erhu seems to be the most difficult to teach on the spot as compared to other instrus... cos holding the bow is already a big prob. but whatever it is... it's over. and thanks to laoshi who drove us back to bedok SAFELY. haha. i think via, jojo and minhui will understand why i said that. haha.
Hmm.. i guess i need to start practising my erhu already... for the audition? haha... will i even be allowed to go anot... Hopefully yes. Heex. :) Haven't decide on the song yet.. so have to try out a few to find the 'feel' first. haha. erm... perhaps tmr.. or mon lor.. If not also no time liao. who ask me nv practise regularly?! =x
OK.. that's all! STill got my dreamweaver to do.. ERM. TMR! Heex. =P

300th Post - Casual Classical
Ok... so along with this special entry... i would like to compliment the SCO concert today! It's really like a new thing to us... at least to me. The first time i see SCO in this manner... Title of the concert is Casual Classical... Hosted by Mr. Dick Lee! I really have no regrets going to this particular concert... it's so much fun and interaction... and able to hear/see him sing LIVE! And of cos.. not forgeting Maestro Tsung Yeh singing and piano-ing too! Wow wow wow... so much a spectacular sight.. :))) Dick Lee performed his classic Fried Rice Paradise which i think is really entertaining... Not forgetting his encore piece.. 'Zui', originally sang by Leslie Cheung.. HAPPY! Just that... why he didn't appear at the autograph?! If not i will sure queue to get it! Perhaps cos he's a public figure... Anyway... He's just so cool for the night lah! But he can be quite mean with his words too yea.. haha... just that i guess no one takes it too hard. :)
Overall.. an enjoyable evening at the SCH! Love it~! There's still one more show tmr (15Apr,Sun) afternoon at 5pm! So catch it if you do not want to miss the talents!! And of cos.. stand a chance to win the 4 N-Series (N70/73) Nokia phones.. dunno which.. but quite exciting. although we didn't win lah. haha!
Haha... sounds like an escape from reality.... and now i'm back.. and start worrying abt my assignments... esp. the essays... anyway.. sleep is more impt for now. =P NItex!
School work again...
But today isn't that accomplished.. cos faced a lot of problems while trying to do the technical rider thing... feeling quite frustrated cos nobody has the ans to the qns... Sianx. So after a few hours... only a few lines came out and i'm already doubting if they are even correct. Err... Shall put all my soul into it tmr~!
Plus bad thing i forgot to send out the survey this noon be4 i went out cos mother was playing after lunch... SO i wasted the time lah... hopefully by night tmr i'm able to choke up the numbers... So friends if u received my email.. pls pls pls help me fill in and send back to me by 10pm on sun! Thank you very very much!

School work..
Anyway... i admire myself for the fact that i still can set aside time for my leisure... i.e. to watch tv/do some CO stuff... like going to watch a concert tmr evening!? But i sure do not want to miss it.. cos it's Dick Lee... if u see the front page of my blog.. it's quite understandable right... i've always admire his works... :)
Anyway... after the long long day in school today... felt so tired but still... i just have to complete my M&M slides today... which i will do after i finish blogging... If not i guess i'll nv do it proper... Just that... i'm so unfamiliar abt this whole subject sometimes i really dunno where to start... i hope daphne is doing all right on her part.. cos we are sort of on the same boat... Jiayou ba classmates... after this we'll have night safari and the chalet to enjoy! :)
Erm... last thing... i actually do hope that i can go to the hk camp this year since laoshi already put my name... i was a bit relunctant at first cos i've always doubt my skills for some reason.. but... i should becos it's really a good chance.. and so... i'm starting to wish that i can really be selected.. :) Wish me good luck. heex. So i should start to polish up my skills also lah... =x

9 more days...
Hopefully things can be done according to plans... that is if we do follow and everyone cooperates... for grp work lah.. and for myself... i'm able to start driving myself towards all the finishing of the works... well.. at least i started on something.! haha.
Good Luck to myself for the next 9 days! Like 2 projects and 2 individual assignments and 1 Website to design... in 9 days!? And Karen is right... i still can go on with all the SY stuff... i'm not bad huh... but i guess that's a form of relaxation from serious work too... at least i started research and everything since i got back from prac today...! :) But if next week gets too hectic... then forget abt sy practices ba... that's why i hope that i will really finish my work so that i can still turn up for prac.. Ok! Jiayou!!
Hopefully i can wake up in the morning for a run be4 continuing with my research cos my brain already stop functioning at this time and after looking at so many webpages.. my eyes are like super tired... HAIX! Tmr will be a better day... Believe in that! :)
Anyways~!!! TOday is Dear Sylvia's birthday! So Happy Birthday Girl!!! :))) I hope that this year will be a better one for u! My 2cents worth advice: Dun let the unhappy happenings make u forget abt the happy happenings! :) I hope that this year u will not grumble as much to me! HAha! All the Best!
NItex.

U all made my day!
Anyway.. today is supposed to be a happy day! :))) Met up with the dearests!!! (although not all of them turned up)... and although not all experience was good... we've tried to make everything better... And hopefully everyone is happy like me! Heex. Even if u all are not.. Thanks for making my day! :))) Still think that this grp of ppl are the best i've ever met! Yeah.. see how much i love u all... No matter where and when... i still enjoy and treasure our times tgt! heex. Lastly.. Thank you weiling for buying back such lovely gifts from ur taiwan trip.. i really like them a lot.. be sure i will get something nice back from hk in may too.. :))
Another thing that made me happy today perhaps... i finally practised gaohu at home after so long... cos monday is combine with Maestro Yeh.. cannot play play.. and there's only so few ppl in that constrain space... so really have to buck up.. esp. after sectionals on wed... played so so badly.. and i think laoshi wasn't exactly pleased with our performance... luckily he didn't nag at us when he sent us back to bedok.. so must pia at least a bit lah.. tmr still can lian! :)
That's all ba.. hopefully i can wake up early tmr morning to do some exercise... haven't been doing much lately.. and have been giving myself too much excuses.. heex.
Anyway.. today is Kenneth's 21st birthday and ytd was Edwin's 20th! So Happt Birthday to both of them!!! Hoping for the best for the both of them! :)))
SYF 2007 - Day 2 & 3
Anyways.. just a summary of this year's results... there wasn't any COP given... maybe they were more lenient... maybe they really feel that the schools were not that bad... or maybe they weren't encouraged to give COP... so those that i think were very lousy were all awarded bronze... so out of 57 schools that took part... there were 13 Bronzes... which i think as compared to past years.. it's much less lah.. so a good thing i guess... 23 Silvers... quite a large no.. And SAC is one of them... err... not much comment... it's just true that they weren't as good as other schools... although i didn't think that all the schools that got gold were up to the standard either... And then 16 Golds... and lastly 5 Gold with Honours... Gold schools are ACS(Barker), AHS, BDS, Zhonghua, NgeeAnn, Mayflower, RGS, CCHS Yishun, Temasek, Marsiling, CCHSM, VS, St. Nicholas, Woodgrove, RI and HCI. (in order of appearance during the comp).. and Gold with Honours goes to DHS, Cat High, NYGH, RV and Pasir Ris... Some were really surprises as i feel that they didn't really performed well.. from my perspective lah.. so i dunno.. my ears aren't as good as the judges'... haha.
Of all i watched/listened... i think mr low's schools really did well... esp. when the last time i heard them i was shaking my head... rgs was good also... cchs yishun's chang cheng was rather impressive.. cchsm's qin bing was good too... and st. nics was good! Esp. their choice piece... the suonas were super zai lah... for a girls' school to say.. and i was impressed by BDS' performance that day as well... :) And this year the good thing is.. there's a lot of interesting songs that i've never heard be4... thou there were some super boring ones and some not up-to-sec-sch-level songs... But mostly were seldom heard... =)
Hopefully JC's will be even nicer! haha!!! Looking forward to it on 10may. :)))

SYF - Day 1
Anyway... i left for project meeting... to print the stuff for press kit... and i turned out to be the earliest? haha. so anyway michelle, sandra and i made our way to sunshine plaza from dhoby ghaut while andy went there straight from i-dunno-where... and caiwen didn't turn up at all.. so i think we used a whole hour to be done with that.. then i left liao... while they proceeded to do the studio work...
Err.. back to SYF... well well well.. i could only say that today's results are a bit surprising... i dunno the judges are trying to encourage the students and the conductors or what... personally i felt that some schools dun really deserve what they got.. esp. a few bronzes... Anyway.. aftn session was quite boring cos most of the not-so-good COs of the day was from this section... but morning was interesting... 5 schools consecutively got Gold/Gold with Honour... including ACS(Barker), AHS, DHS(GwH), BDS, and Zhonghua... then the others are NASS, Cat High(GwH) and Mayflower. Frankly speaking... actually the standard did improve quite a lot... like mayflower.. they improved from a COP in 2001 to a Gold now... and ACS and Cat High also.. So sometimes i think a change in conductor really helps... so when is SAC going to change conductor?? Haix... sac is probably the only school that still stay where it was.. well.. i hope i'm wrong... but that's the impression they gave me even thou i haven't really heard them yet..
Anyway... being at SCH watching syf sent a lot of memories of syf back to me... be it in SCH or not... it reminds me of what happened in syf2003... i guess the most unforgetable syf in my life... it is the year that so so many things happened... i rmb everything.. good or bad.. rmb myself as someone so foolish... cried cos i was so worried for someone else who got silver.. cried cos we got gold... haha.. how foolish.. esp. when zhongming brought it up that the sacians were shouting and crying like crazy when the person announced we got gold... lol. of cos i rmb that lah.. the whole hall have to wait for us to stop.. lol. But other than that.. i rmb every other SYF i went to lah..! maybe except for the primary school one.. haha! :))
Enough for the glamorous stuff.. haha! if anyone is interested.. can refer back to my old blog.. under archives.. somewhere july 2003.. the title comes with SYF blah blah.. heex!
Ok.. that's all.. tmr is another tough day.. 20 schools to go tmr! Good or bad.. Good luck! :))

The Phantom of Opera - Part 2
Must say that it's a even better experience overall... cos the fact that i'm sitting quite at the front... almost the middle of Row L... the view was very good... we could see everything that is happening on the stage... and could see every single expression of the actors... and the chandelier did fell faster... like really drop and swing onto the stage... or maybe it's the difference is perspective... cos i'm sitting under it now... if i were a few more rows in front... i could have touched the chandelier when it's down.. Haha!!! Then.. it really helps me understand more of what they said.. command of lang not good is like that one lah.. must listen a few more times then can... so if anyone still wants to offer me tix to phantom.. feel free to do so.. :)) And finally.... Raoul is REALLY VERY HANDSOME!!! Heex.. See it for urself.. =P
The fav sound effect... the Phantom's voice changing from one speaker to another during the reading of the note... and the locking of the theatre doors during the staging of the musical written by the phantom...
The fav set effect... can't be anything other than the phantom's home... the candles just looked so so real...
And the fav song... tell me abt it.. i think almost EVERY... haha! if really want me to choose.. a few lah.. 'Think of Me', 'Angel of Music', 'All I Ask of You', and all the 'Notes' part... they're funny.. :)
So thanks to my da-jie who paid for the tix... my mum who paid for the programme booklet... and da-jie (again) who paid for the CD. Heex. I'm blessed! :)

NATAS . NYCO camp
Went to The Phantom of the Opera for the 2nd time on sat.. will talk abt it in another entry after this....
Then after that went to NATAS fair... Erm... didn't know that we will make the decision and book on the spot also... so the whole thing was quite rush... so actually i felt quite bad also... for qin and via.. paiseh have to make u all decide in such a short time.. or rather.. didn't even have time to think further... so anyway... the trip is set liao... 12-15May to HK. :) Erm.. Looking forward to it lor. :))
Anyway.. we booked the trip with josephine... if u rmb.. she travelled with us to Korea.. we suddenly thought of her.. and so gave her a call and went to the booth she's at... and well... booked it there.. and thanks to her for bargaining for us... in the end get the same price as another agency... haha!
Then i went back to NY... cos mingkwang told me that nyco was having cocamp... So ya.. i took 133 all the way there from suntec... and coincidentally i was beside Casper on the bus.. WITHOUT knowing it.. Haha! Basically he buried his head in his hands and bag lah.. Actually i had thoughts that i know that person.. but i didn't expect him to really be casper lah... so in the end when he finally woke up when we were abt to reach.. he called my name! and tada.. he's Casper.. going back to ny too! haha!! So we made our way to the co room.. and sad to say.. most of them i dunno de lor! HAha!!! moreover they were having some freetime from camp.. so everyone's doing their own stuff.. so we (the seniors) entertained ourselves.. haha! Play until 11+ and finally deshun, kenneth and i decided to head home... while jon lau, casper and suihon stayed... and jon tan went off even earlier... but little did we know that all the gates were already locked lah... and the idiot security is SO unwilling to help us open the gate lah.. say what 'it's raining'... DOTX. it's all sheltered to the side gate lah.. what a lie.. it's not like we do not know the school right... Finally we got out and i even managed to catch bus 45.. i think it's the last bus.. so heng lah... :)
Well.. hope that i will have more time to go back and listen to their prac... erm.. or i'll just go to SCH to see their rehearsal... depends.. but actually i dun really have time to visit them in sch also lah.. got lessons on weds de mah.. Ok.. enough for all these... Till the next entry.. Miss me! Haha. :))

The Phantom of Opera - Part 1
My classmates and i gathered at Esplanade at/be4 7.20pm (the planned time) on 22 March... after a long waiting time... we were finally let in to Circle 1... and i got a seat at BB 22 (what coincidence with my fav no.) haha!
I think it's going to be the thing that ppl will be talking abt now and then from today... lol.. Anyway... The show is well... fantastic if the chandelia could drop at a faster speed... And now that i've watched it once LIVE!... i would prepare myself for an even more enjoyable 2nd time... Cos ultimately there's too many details for the audience to follow.. and sometimes i lost my focus... perhaps to something of less importance.. But what i like most abt the whole musical is the sound effects that cleverly used all possible speakers in the theatre... it felt like the musical is happening all ard in the theatre instead of just the stage... and this includes the orchestra pit...
The only thing abt the whole musical is... there isn't any subtitle shown... since my command of english is already not very good... and the actors do speak in their very own accent which is sometimes not very interpretable for me... some of the times i do not exactly catch what their dialogue was... =P Thus, i think a 2nd time helps... Heex.
Err.... Anyway.. if u have a faint heart... you might want to consider withdrawing from watching the musical... there are scenes and happenings that are surprising and shocking! Not referring to the chandelia drop... haha.
AND... i truely truely admire ALL the actors... they are truely all-rounded... Sing, Act and Dance... All of them! :)
Well well.. we'll see after tmr's show if my feelings change... cos it's only true that every experience is very based on the actual thing that you attended.. and it varies cos it's a LIVE! performance... so it's only nature... even if the actors sing and act everyday...!

SY + Sick!
Anyway... have been going to sy for the past 2 days... combine on mon and sectionals on tues... i must say that combine was bad... cos basically i didn't practise... and didn't even look at the score be4 going... so like everything was so unfamiliar... so it was rather disastrous although Gu laoshi didn't really catch us... i mean.. i feel guilty lah.. Nonetheless... i didn't get to practise be4 i go for the sectionals on the following day either... and i told the others as we proceeded into the practise... that it seems like i've nv seen the scores be4.. and i really dunno what was happening at the combines.. i can't rmb a thing from it!! Oh... blame it on the bad memory. Haha! Anyway sectionals were really useful... recaps and made me realised many notes are those notes... lol..
So anyway... i was rather happy for the 2 days as to the ppl i met... firstly was jiaqi one monday... went to er-jiu's house.. but everyone left quite early.. and by the time she came... all left already... and i was the only one there with er-jiu and da-yi-ma... So after she had lunch there.. we went off for a walk... and she told me abt her trip to taipei while i said some abt port dickson... after she left for home... i just thought of going to eason... and finally bought a new erhu bag.. i'm not changing my current one... it's an extra one lah... in case i need to bring 2 out. :)
Then tues met up with Von after her class... we went Kbox since she jio-ed... and i quite long nv go already also... so we had klunch lor... but actually no diff right? the food as usual is not exceptionally nice... in fact... sometimes it sucks.. but i think now got some improvement lah... just that dunno is it the cause of the happenings that night... So after we left kbox.. i suggested the neoprint at cine... so up we went and i dunno how long we spent there lah... but then... not really very happy with the outcome.. and there goes 10bucks... =x Be4 leaving for SCH... dabao-ed Omu rice for Via and myself... BUT i didn't finish lah!! err... waste money i think.. cos i got so bloated when i only ate half the portion... and got so uncomfortable halfway thru sectionals... and so so so uncomfortable after i got home... practically everything came out from my mouth... i mean the dinner... dotx.. and my legs got so wobby... i slept at 11.30pm.. Haha!
Sad cos it affected my mood all the way till today lah... esp. when my family was dining at seafood restaurant tonight... We had buttered crabs, pork ribs, prawn with salad, oil-dipped fish, their home-made tofu and fried mian-xian... and i didn't really eat a lot.. as i would usually take a bigger share.. i only ate a little of not even everything.. i didn't even have a bite of the pork ribs... dotx... Even so.. i was filled right up to my throat.. but i stopped myself from forcing them to come out even thou the feeling was bad... Terrible ah!!
Dun type le.. Nitex.

Port Dickson Part 1
The thing is.. sometimes i only thought of blogging at this kind of hour... and most of the time when i thought of it.. i was already very tired and sleepy... so... i will always procrastinate... resulting in long overdue entries... I mean.. i'm very conscious abt it.. but still... it happens everytime...
Well... i'll just say that some things went well... and some didn't... erm... i dunno how to put it lah...
The trip to Port Dickson was generally enjoyable and relaxing... in total 9 of us went... including my mum, da-jie and sylvia... of which i shared a room with the last 2 mentioned... we stayed in a resort apartment with 3 bedrooms, a living room, a dinner area, a small kitchen area and a balcony... somehow things didn't go right from the first day till the next morning.. first we realised that the air-con isn't working in the room that 3 of us took... so we had to survive on fans without opening the window due to the possibility of mosquitoes and birds flying in.. and the wind from outside was warm... So we only entered the room when we were abt to sleep and survived thru the night with 3 of us sharing the king-sized bed... i'm quite ok with it lah... i mean no complains lah... since i dun usually sleep with air-con too.. but still.. that's not the kind of service that should be given.!
Apparently... my mum, grandaunt and aunt whom shared a room declared that the room was too cold and they couldn't stand it... thus request a change in the room for the 2nd night.. well.. of cos we were happy lah.. so that night we each have a single-sized matteress to sleep on... hmm... a peaceful night.. no need to sleep with movements made by others.. hah! (practically i was the victim first night cos i slept in the middle.) And we entered the room early to enjoy the air-con, playing cards and listen to my ipod thru the speakers i brought along.. Peaceful night without anyone pestering us to play daidee :)))
Oh.. btw.. 2nd bad... the main door lock was spoilt and i was the one who realised it... being someone who usually checks the door... i tried to open the door after it was closed after the last person... and it opened!!! so we tried a dozen times trying to lock it and not open after we close it... (it's supposed to open only with the use of door card).. so after all.. we left it to the maintainance to do it for us... on one hand worrying abt our belongings.. so brought everything valuable along with me... finally solved when we went back in the aftn..
Still... 'Efficiency' most probably dun exist in their dictionary (do they even have one?) cos EVERYONE in the resort did things in the 'fastest' way... Haha!!
Anyway.. i'm really tired... blog more when i upload the pictures.. :))

In class... M'sia tmr.. :)
Oh.. i was just reminded that i'm going to watch Phantom of the Opera next sat!! Wow.. that's like so fast... And i checked... i bought the tickets some time last mid oct. haha! So the tickets... somehow turned a little yellow already lor... haha! But it's really so popular that they have to extend the show twice... so it's extended again to mid-may!
Anyway.. more imptly and nearer... i'm going to Port Dickson (Malaysia) with my relatives tmr! :))) So it means i'm missing class tmr lor... Actually it took me quite long to decide whether to go or not... then in the end... Obviously lah... Then via also going... so well... just take the weekend off lor... Hopefully my team mates wun mind... And hopefully new team mates will be ok... Haha. i have to really cross my fingers abt that issue lah... But well... Enjoy lah!

NUSCO: March Odyssey
Thus this marks the 3rd year i guest play with nusco... and YET... my chinese was printed wrongly in the programme booklet.. Dotx... And to say the truth... why must they complicate the word when the chinese character is a very common word... and they put in a less common word instead.. Haha! Quite weird lah.. AND... there wasn't the guest player indication there also... I must say that i enjoyed playing with them very much... thou the journey is far and i dun belong there... And so far i've knew quite a no. of ppl there... So maybe that's why EVERYONE thought i'm an undergraduate of nus lor... So funny.. i am an undergraduate lah.. BUT not of NUS what... and they seemed so surprised/shocked to hear that. Haha! Someone even joked that even if i get nominated to be in exco by the members... they will also give it to me.. Like real lah..! Haha!
The concert itself.. no major mistakes or what lah... but then... sometimes the beat goes off... i dunno how... but at least managed to drag back... And myself... Ya lah... as i've mentioned.. i didn't play perfectly lah... esp. those semiquavers... But melody part.. no problem! haha! i guess the last min prac while i prac with erjie during the break btwn the end of full dress and start of concert really helped... helped her and helped me also.. HAha! get her to be more familiar with the songs and get me to be more polished so that i can 'hun' less... Heex. And so i did... i told the others some of the notes i just realised that they are those notes this last 2 practices.. haha! =P
Anyway... the day ended with me going for dinner with quite a big grp of ppl at clementi ke-ai-ji w/o er-jie... or i should say she went to eat with her batch nusco ppl w/o me... cos in the first place i dun really know them very well... and none of them were of my age or along that line... and they went off first.. i waited for at least one and a half hour be4 we get ourselves out of UCC. And Thanks to Changsheng who sent me home! Wow. so happy to be sent home in the quite new car! Haha! But somehow we accidentally missed the exit to bedok north rd from PIE. haha. So had to make a detour from the next exit.. =x But this should be the first and last time ba... unless he's mad enough to send me back again when he's already moving to the west! how sad. haha!
Ok.. so that rounds up me with nusco for this concert.. wun be going for the reception since i will be going out of town this weekend... was relunctant to go at first... but getting away isn't a bad idea too.. and it's only buffet and some thank-u speech... and since i wasn't even given appreciation... there's not much reason to be there lah... so ya.. that's all ba..
Byebye.

Dreamgirls and some other.
Today i suddenly had the thought of re-applying for uni... as in nus... but then again i thought... the lasalle AM ppl are the ones that i want to spend the next 2+ years with... it is really necessary to go another step? Well.. i really dunno... but since i just mentioned ytd that it's not easy for me to blend and i'm just starting to get myself into the class.. why am i going away? Erm... anyway.. i dun think i can make it this year if i can't make it last year also lah. Haha! Ok.. this is crap.
Anyway.. dunno what's wrong.. is it that i'm giving the wrong idea? Actually i'm trying to give the wrong impression of me now... err.. i realised i really didn't like sticky ppl... as in not literally lah... This person is just.. Argh.. dunno how to say... I dun understand how could someone ever act like that.. And i think he should act like his age lah!!! Disclaimer: not anyone from AM or former COs. Get a life man. Really can't stand it sometimes.. how could anyone at the age of my sis act like a Boy! I've always said.. i prefer MAN.. not BOY! But in this case.. with regards to a friend... i still think it's too much... so i would say.. apprentice. Sorry for being so blunt.. but if i have the courage to tell him.. i will.. and in fact i've hinted so many times that the way he's chatting with me is getting on my nerves.. i dun like it at all and in fact most of the time i didn't reply to things i dun feel like replying.. = senseless and useless stuff said. What happened to all the MEN?! Dotx. Ok.. finished venting my anger... Pardon me for this totally unorganised paragraph. haha!
Listening to the Dreamgirls OST now.. talking abt this movie.. it's something that makes ppl think a lot.. abt the music industry now.. although the movie is probably in the context of the 60s... And much of a discrimination issue between the blacks and the whites is inside... the content was rather interesting.. with regards to making the music... being original... with the original intention or to fit into the commercial world.. And i would say part of the story is quite touching.. or so i think lah.. esp. the part where Effie (by Jennifer Hudson) was not given the lead singer role and was even taken out of the grp later... i knew what was happening to her.. i.e. she's pregnant.. but she didn't even said the reason behind all it when she was expelled and replaced by another girl.. probably becos of her stubborn character... and after that when she started to change for the better... touching also.. or at least to me lah.. erm.. another part would be when the rest of the original team started to feel betrayed by the manager and realised that they were so wrong... and of cos reconciled with Effie... The songs are rather nice.. and catchy.. And of cos.. Beyonce is hot lah... And Eddie Murphy is still a joker... Although he died tragically nearing to the end of the show... I think it's quite worthed the money lor... BUT if u are not a musical person.. save the money and watch something else... :)))
Ok.. sleep time.. another long day... tmr.. And Sunday too! Anyone who is still interested in watching the NUSCO concert.. rmb to msg me~ :)) It's on Sunday- 11 Mar. 5pm @ UCC. It's also the openhouse of NUS... so u can kill 2 birds with one stone... going to NUS for 2 purposes.. so that it will be a more worthwhiled trip!! SO... msg me NOW!! :)) Cya!

Feeling lousy...
The sem is really passing so fast.. it's already the 9th week out of the 15-week sem... Haix... And i dun think i'm going to achieve what i'm hoping for... i.e. good results at the end of the year... i think partly becos of all the grp works we have... it's not that grp work is not good... but so much so that sometimes it drains ppl off the idea of having grp meetings... cos everyone will be like.. 'haix.. yet another grp proj to do'... so even after finishing one presentation ytd... i still have.. public relations, business proposal, method and materials.. so 3 more to go... I rather write on my own!! Cos can do at my own pace... But it's experience lah... i mean.. to work with ppl to complete something... but for some i tot it's quite good idea.. just that everyone keep procrastinating.. Oopx.. i hope this is not exactly what i said in ytd's entry... haha. Argh... stop complaining and start working!!!
Anyway... i really hope that things will be going smoothly for me... and that i can start working once hols start... and hopefully this year will not be as troublesome as last year when it comes to the syco concert period... And quite glad that i'm not playing the impt role although i'm not quite glad.. err.. dunno what i talking. ignore me.
So must be wondering where am i and what i'm doing now... at suntec starbucks... obviously blogging... and nothing else... sometimes it feels good to be alone.. but sometimes... the feeling just sucked.. and today... i think it sucked... my classmates probably think that i'm dumb today or what.. but as if i wished that i were like that... Why is it that i always take so long to fit in a new surrounding... and to speak the truth... it might be that i haven't got use to the behaviour and attitude in school.. and seriously... i really dunno my classmates well... not even one. Ahh.. whatever. It just takes me longer...
I'm bored!!! Oh.. i just rmb something... i just found out a few days ago that Nathaniel was from nyjc can... SC somemore... haha! It's not that i really dunno he's from our sch... it's just that.. it doesn't really match.. haha! Err.. i know i'm slow lah... cos PSS 2 is over like more than a month ago... haha!!! But then... at least i rmb now ok.. haha! I wonder if there's anyone slower than me.. Haha. =x
Ok... i'm really sianx liao.. shall go continue my proposal stuff... Bye.

Random post?
Been exceptionally busy?? I dunno leh.. Am i? Practically i can't rmb liao.. =x I think i sort of lost my memory lah.. Haha!!! Pardon me... cos i just got out of bed lah... Ya! u din see wrongly.. i actually slept after dinner... till 10pm. =x Hopefully i still can have a sweet full night today. Haha! Erm.. i think i can... Argh.. this is like so random. Actually nothing is going thru my head now.. so i'm like still in a daze.
Anyway... quite relieved that one presentation is done today... we were so 'lucky' to be the first grp to present.. and me the first person to speak..~ Haix... i think i scared the wits out of myself.. so much so that i felt i stumbled a lot.. which is not good lah...~ But no matter what it is.. it's already over... and i have a feeling i wun do well for this whole module... cos last sem's history of performing arts section was quite bad... But well.. the only thing i can say abt this sem is.. it's really a very very rush one... like everything is being postponed but another has to come up... so how to finish like that? And having the procrastinator's characteristics... didn't finish the ppt until the very last min like this morning lah! So well... I'm so going to do well for the other modules cos i'm thinking of getting some financial help.. bursary or scholarship or intern lah.. thus have to produce some results first right..~ Jiayou! :))
Erm... dunno what to type liao... This sun NUSCO concert... those that haven't gotten ur tix.. u still can get it... at sistic counters or nusco member lah.. or me also can lah..! Haha. One thing abt nusco concerts.. they always try different things compared to other COs.... like using different style music everytime... for this concert.. more of a communist music is being used lah.. and i think they are quite nice. haha! =P
Eh... very lazy to type liao.. update tmr if i have the time... Bye~

CNY Part 2
So.. still in the cny mood... shall blog abt some cny stuff lor.. Went to quite a few friends' place this year ba.. kim, chek, horng and huiyan... not forgeting laoshi's house also... and travelled to some very extreme places lah... haha! erm.. all in a day... like 3rd day... bedok to kallang (laoshi), then to Serangoon (kim), then to toa payoh (chek).. then to Sembawang!! (qi shu-7th uncle), then back to the east - Simei (horng).. I enjoyed the day thou it was really tiring at the end of the day... all the travelling.. esp. to and fro sembawang... journey is really looong... But good thing was... my luck for that day was quite good... first i got some won some cab fare during ban lat... and boarded a limo to sembawang.. haha.. and won some during mahjong too. heex.
After the first 3 days of cny... the next 3 were spent in school... not literally... got lessons lah.. but attendance was real bad... esp. for fri morning.. like real bad... cos i was sitting at 2nd row?! haha! i haven't been sitting in front since the starting of the sem.. But everything was all right lah.. more contact with classmates during breaks thou.. which is something to be happy abt. :)
Sat was fun too... thou the morning was kinda wasted.. cos didn't really do much at mco... only practised for a while lor... like 1+h... sianx... nusco prac was ok... Tea was rather dun... had yusheng~ And i shouted.. 'Huat ah'! Lol.. Anyway prac ended like super early... so we made our way down to san-yi's house...~ Oh... another yusheng... maybe that explains the winnings at mahjong later.. thou it wasn't a lot... but it's a sense of achievement~ :) Cos i kept winning when i zhuang (banker) and we played 4rounds in 3h!! super kua zhang lah... Haha! And only to win 5bucks in the end. lol.
Sun... another eventful day... uncle yeo's house was the best... should've stayed longer.. might have win more from ban lat.. dad provided me with 10$ based... won quite a sum when mum was banker cos we ban lat! And the rest of the winnings went to mummy when i left... and today i heard that daddy won like over 50$ by playing in-between.. how interesting! i nv knew they know to play that~ i mean i like only knew what it is last new year lah.. haha.!
So... this week i'm on a one-week mid term hols... Still got to do some project anyways... time is really rushing hard on us... for Technical theatre we are the first grp to present.. and other than the site recce... we haven't had anything else done yet... perhaps uni life is just like that... so have to pia lah... as well as for the business proposal too... i think we are way behind time also.. sighx... but i'm sure we will finish all be4 time or at least on time. :) So hopefully after so so many projects this sem.. there will not be any written exams so that we can have a longer break! :))
Oh btw... my house is open for visitors on wed (28/2)... from noon onwards... so express ur interest to come now... haha! ask me for more details ba. :)

CNY Part 1 (only)
And i've noticed some traits... Firstly.. i dunno why but i clicked better with the maternal cousins... maybe cos of the age difference? as in more cousins were nearer to my age lah.. or maybe the language... we communicate more in chinese than in english.. which i'm able to articulate and express in better... at least we enjoyed even thou we travelled mostly in public transport for the whole day on the first day...
So it also means that i feel that i dun click well with the paternal side cousins... again.. i think it's the age... cos i'm one of the younger cousin... and most of them are like my sister's age? u see... we have 16 children in this generation including me.. the oldest is my eldest sis of cos who is already half past 30... and the youngest is like p6 this year... and i'm like the 12th from the top... wah! 2 of them were same same as my 2nd sis who is 5 years older... and another 3 has the same age of 3 years older than me too..~ That's like... totally off for me... cos when i'm in any particular phrase of my life... none of them has the same as me... so that leaves no topic to talk abt... erm.. am trying hard... and improving thou.. engaging in more conversations and for a longer period of time... So that's something i've accomplish this new year.. erm... at least a bit lah.. haha!
Then i noticed this thing abt my dad and his brothers and a sister... haha... they have this very similar way of speaking.. as in the pattern lah... and their reactions to certain topics... wow... Even they dun look alike at all... they were just so like brothers and sisters... haha! and my uncles are actually a very humourous lot...
Oh.. i'm so tired.. after the long day... another day to go... not with family for the whole day this time... ya.. get a life. =x Nitex.
Emo.. haha.
Then it was the surveys... some are just so funny... they made me rmb some stuff and made me realise how much they knew me also... haha.. Like eg. when is my bday or how many siblings i have or what colour are my eyes or do i believe in god or am i an outgoing or shy person... or whatever... but these are the qns that most ppl didn't exactly know... esp. for the eyes part... i actually have brown eyes instead of black... and of cos white colour lah... And to speak the truth... i'm NOT outgoing in front of everyone... unless i'm really familiar with u... at least i dun chat with my cousins the same way i did with my close friends...~ :)

A fast week!
Again... i appreciate all the times that i spent with my good friends and classmates... Who says valentine's day can't be great without guys...?! haha... i spent it with a few of the royalties... heex... :)) Kbox and dinner... just enough to bring the spirits up... thou was tired at the end of the day and still have things to accomplish.. i dun mind at all... :)) Thanks girls.. Somemore so qiao met via and ling on the train while going home... haha! so managed to chat for a while be4 i met my parents at bedok... alighting from the very same mrt and go home with them... So much a coincidence.. why not with my prince charming?! weird huh... haha! ok.. nvm abt that...
Hmm... actually my classmates are really fantastic... in every other way.. haha... after class was released super early ytd... a few of us got ourselves to esplanade for supper... and of cos make funny conversations with all the laughter... even thou there were only 6 ppl... the laughter was like... wow! and we left at the time class was supposed to end... i.e. 10pm... hmm... hopefully we have more chances to have all these... cos usually i dun take the same side as the rest of my classmates... i dunno what am i missing man...
Ok... think i gtg... actually i'm outside now.. at some mac using wireless... haha! i have a secret mission going on so can't reveal my location lah... haha! crap. ya... so update again when i get home or whatever... :)))

My busy life. haha.
However... i enjoyed my last week... isn't is an irony..?! I mean... NY tutors visit and cakes and the scary sy prac at night on mon.. the new year grocery shopping on tues night... the ever more fun SY sectionals on wed night... erm... the not-so-fun but ok-lah design class on thurs night... and the royal family's outing on fri night.. Mco, Nusco on sat... and er-jiu's house today..~
I truly enjoy moments with my friends... on fri... part of the royal family turned up... han, kim, von, yuhui, wanlin, jiale and me... had steamboat at terrence cao's shop... And he was right there in the shop... didn't take any photo with him thou... it's quite good... cos it's air-conditioned.. haha! Ok.. the food is quite nice too.. thou a bit pricy based on the quantity... But the base soups are good...~!!! :)) Err... so the bill added up to $20 per pax... I might say it's not really worthed cos... i wasn't really full afterall... haha! But i'm a big eater sometimes... plus i didn't really had any main meals that day.. so ok lah...~! U all can give it a try..~ It's at Paradiz Centre B1.. right beside Tao's place... it's called Hey Hey Hotpot. :) And a cup of drink over at TCC after that... be4 taking a bus home..
Or even just sitting in mac for hours like on thurs... with sandra, weiye, daphne, khai and sofian who came later... it's really like just 3 hours at mac eat... surf net... talk and blah blah blah... just waiting for time to pass to get to the next lesson lor... but good for communicating with each other lah.. haha!
Sat... back to mco once again... not many ppl there... sianx... practising the 2 syf set pieces.. both the sec sch and jc one... for a music exchange prog btwn marsiling sec and woodgrove sec... and mco lah... so there we were... there early in the morning... and went nusco after that... i think that was the most boring prac i have ever went so far... esp. for the erhus... practically first half we were doing nothing at all...~ oh... except for the last 5 min be4 tea break... but at least after that got prac another song... if not really is wasted trip... anyway.. sis didn't go again cos she worked full day... so dinner with them at ke ai ji... haha.. all the laughings again... until i had to go home alone... by train. Anyway... only a few more practises to go...~
Hmm... nothing else le ba... Till then.. Ciaoz..~!

Randomly...
Anyway.... it has been a fruitful weekend... i've already mentioned what i did at SAM... so now i will say what i did at National Museum (NMS) on Sunday... I was there to volunteer for Red Dust.. it's a dance performance by taiwanese... And we get to watch the whole thing... I like the setting and the installations... when the audience walk into the hall... it already felt like we are in the performance cos they hung their drops all the way to the door... as later performers go in thru the front door also... but most of it was solo by Wu Wen Cui... 3 songs were also sang in the performance... using the lyrics but the tunes were much spiritual (buddhism) than the original (classic chinese/pop)... And there were a few on-the-spot things for her to do... take out the outer layer of clothe she was wearing while dancing/twirling... applying something onto her face and then wash off later... and there's more... But i think i didn't really understand the whole thing... what a pity...
Anyway... that sunday morning to aftn.. be4 i left for NMS.. i was at home helping to springclean the living room... what a chore... and today (tues)... i used ard 1 hour to pack last sem's stuff and put them away somewhere... so as to get away from mum's naggings... haha! But well.... finally they were done...
Oh... Mon at SY was.... i can say.. horrible!! The atmosphere was so so bad... and we were all so tensed up... esp. when Ku Laoshi kept on arrowing the strings... and made us all realised that there's no way we could escape from his powerful ears... it's already known... but it's made more obvious that day... the feeling is like one dun even dare to breathe... really scary... hopefully next week will be better..! Still... i enjoy sectionals more... haha! And there's sectionals tmr! Oh.. i haven't really looked at the Hai Shang Di Yi Ren score yet... =x
Been coming home quite late every night from last week... same for this week... except for today (tues) i didn't go out the whole day... until we went out after dinner to shop for new year food and blah blah... oh... dun worry i got all my favourites... and we are actually not done with it yet.. lol!
Meet the royal family this fri! Happy! haha! I think we really will have much to share this fri... cos we've got more news after going back to visit some tutors on mon with von and yuhui... i was late lah... so compensate with fruit juice to them... Haha... Oh.. surprisingly... Ms L Poh rmb me!! BUT unfortunately by my nickname... thanks to my classmates.. Really... Whatever~
This entry is rather unorganised hor... cos i just typed anything that came to my mind... in the first place... i can't really rmb much abt what happened... Haha... ok... i rmb i talked to melody on the phone for a long long long time after i reached home on mon after sy... it's really like less than 10 min after i stepped into the house.. cos i haven't got the chance to change out of my clothes and remove my contacts... until we hung up the phone... 2hrs past midnight... haha! i miss long talks on phone with friends... i used to do that a lot with a few friends in the past... but during the day lah... so if u all are free/have something to share/have no one to talk to/feel like talking to someone or whatever... pls... call me... i'll be so glad to talk to u..! :)))
Ok.. this is really random... hope dun get confused.. haha!

Arts Events!
First was the performance art by this artist - Tim Jeeves with his work: 'Should i be in my bodi'.. he was a cancer patient... or rather... still is a cancer patient... he had all his thought written (printed) out on boards and hung ard the gallery... then he himself stood in the middle of his works with only his boxers on... and allow the viewers to write their thoughts on his body... And he stood there for 3hours straight! Although there wasn't many many visitors... but the response given were rather position.. and most of them admire his work, his determination and his courage... well... i thought so too... cos i think the purpose of him doing this is to encourage ppl to face the problems thru art... and i think ppl will rmb this... So if u are interested (you should be)... there are 2 more slots opened... pls visit the Queen gallery of SAM at 2-5pm on 3Feb (sat) and 4 Feb (sun)... i think u wun regret...
Another one was this listening party in response to The Self Collector by Jan Rothuizen... called the 'Guilty Pleasure'... coordinated by Ang Song Ming... Jan's works are also exhibited in SAM itself... at the Waterloo Gallery... it's quite cool also... But this guilty pleasure is rather special... it's very interactive... It says... 'Bring your guiltiest sonic indulgence - a song of your choice in mp3 or CD. Tell everyone why you find it a pleasure, and why you feel guilty listening to it.' It's really like ANYTHING you like... and i listened to a no. of ppl sharing theirs today... and i find it very interesting...~! And the objective is... to face yourself and confess anything...~! There one more session on 3rd Feb (Sat) at 4pm at the Glass Porch of SAM... and the thing is... you can actually scratch words on the glass panels... like confession... so quite nice... Pls go there and take a look... and relax! :))) I enjoyed my day even though i was Very tired at the end of it... i think it's worthed...~
Anyway... i came across this other theatre production by Toy Factory... called the TiTouDao... Details can be found HERE! I think it's quite interesting... and i feel that it's going to be rather entertaining too... So if u are interested... pls tell me... we can go watch tgt! :)))
Omg... i just have so many things i want to watch... but really have not so much time and not so much money also... Sianx...~
Anyway... going to buy SCO tix really soon... so if anyone wants any tix with the special 50% discount (only for SCO regular concerts)... pls approach me fast! Ok!
Why must arts programmes be so expensive?! =x

=DND=
These few days... haven't been feeling really happy.... haven't been in good mood and good temper these few days... and haven't been too willing to speak these few days either... just haven't been... myself. Sighx... Wonder if it's pms-ing... But i nv had pms... Or is it just the things happening ard me?! or am i just tired?! Haix..
Actually i've got a qns to ask... i think it's quite common.... i'm sure everyone has met such incident be4 ba... but it tends to get a little confusing... Hmm... must ask both parties... for guys: what does it mean when u go out with a girl (not ur gf) and is willing to pay for all the expenses, activities of the day? for girls: what will u think if this happen to u... i.e. going out with a guy (not ur bf) and he paid everything for the day... Was just wondering lah... but pls... give ur respond... tag or msn or... sms me ba... Thanks.
Anyway... Watched 'Happy Birthday' on tues while out and nothing to do... with someone else lah... The show... It's quite good... but the way the story is portrayed is a bit confusing... like they show over a period of 10 years... but it's a bit hard to guess which year is it already... Although the ending is rather predictable... i still cried when the ans was revealed why the birthday wish from XiaoNan (Leo Ku) to XiaoMi (Rene Liu) was late... BUT on the whole... the story is not touching enough ba... cos i didn't cry much except for the part mentioned... heex.
It's getting a little boring with less ppl talking to me online... i dunno why the ppl i used to crap a lot with... no longer chat whenever we are both online... and with less ppl updating their blog regularly... and thus... less stuff to do online... Maybe i should get myself hooked to tv again... Anyway last sem's timetable is better for me to catch the shows... =P
Dun feel like typing also le.... wait till i'm in better mood...~ Rmb to give ur respond.. :)

I really hope that such thing will not happen ard me... AT ALL! So ppl driving.. pls take care when on the road driving... and others who are usually passengers... pls really... put on the seat belt... Take care.~
All the laughing..
First group of ppl was the NUSCO peeps aka the Friday supper club on fri.. (duhh...) Haha... No lah... i dun always join them on fridays... but was told they were going to celebrate huiling and hweeming's bday... so i went... and to my surprise... many others went too! Like 16 ppl in total! Let me list... other than the 2 mentioned... joyce, suyi, eric, yanyi, peiying, changsheng, siqiang, christine, eugene, kathy, yihui, jiahui, my sis and i. haha! some of them really like long long long nv see liao... Had dinner at Riverside Indonesian Rest... not bad lor... err... i think everything added up to abt $18 per person??? i not very sure... cos my sis paid for me. =x Anyway... ya... food quite nice also... we ordered like per pax de... so quite good lah~! :))
Then was drinking session... just sit there.. have a drink and continue all the talking.. haha! I dun think we ever stopped for the night lor... even thou i wasn't sitting with sis during dinner.. cos she came quite late lah... haha! And we were having fun playing with suyi's camera... or rather her sister's camera... it was super cool lah.. cos it's a touch screen camera!! so can edit the picture like neoprint machines... just that not so many options lah.. cool for a camera still~! Heex. Didn't return home very late lah... cos er-jie got to work today..~
Then today(sat)... omg... had fun for the night with my dear maternal side cousins... We just like talk and talk non-stop... or is it just the 5 of us? haha!

Sunday . First SYCO prac
So... i bought 2 tops.. one was paid by da-jie and the other by me... and the red earth promotion set which has 4 items in a box that is going for $24 only... i think it's really a good buy..~ Yea... But no luck for my slippers... and i'm tired already also... Spent abt $50 of my own money for the day... sianx... going broke... allowance given is seriously not enough!!! I need more money. Any jobs recommendations??
After that... the original thought of meeting the cc ppl for dinner was foiled when mum came carrying 2 bags of detergent... for the floor i think... and well.. i do know that i have the responsibility to carry home... so well... Home with them!
Oh... tell me abt my monday... everything was fine until i stepped onto the stage.. getting ready for the first syco prac of the year... the atmosphere is just so different from past years... a little more heavy... everyone quiet and blah blah... unlike the past we will just chat with our partners when it's not our turn or make many faces when we couldn't catch... however... we were told to be very attentive and serious... But well... i must say that Ku Laoshi has his own style and he's good in some way... the way he make us notice every single notation on the score... and blah blah blah... But of cos... i think whoever was in sy be4 will miss our cheerful mr quek in front... making fun of every other person even on the first day... But i believe every conductor has his own values... and we should not expect him to conduct like someone else.. so well... we have to follow his way... Take it as a chance to learn new things lor..~ :))
Hopefully SYCO will be fun this year too... more activities.. more opportunities... more interactions... But quite sad that they have to separate gaohu and zhonghu for sectionals lah... i guess i will miss yonghong's craps... and i think he will miss my bullies.. HAha! No lah.. actually i'm very nice to him..~ Haha. Only 5 ppl for sectionals is really sianx lah!! Moreover in that super small room -- the staff lounge... so pathetic lor... why huh?! Erm.. whatever! Haha!
Tired liao... Tmr is a long long day.. Nitex.~
New toy!
The story goes... sunday mummy brought her niece (aka my cousin) who came from indonesia to get a new phone line for her course of study here.... But she already has a phone that her father bought when she first came cos she still can't apply for the student plan then... So.. she took the plan while mummy say i could get a phone.. so tada...~ here i am with the new toy... quite cool de lor... :)) Mummy got a new phone herself thru her plan also lah.. but she gotten a $0 phone instead... but not bad also... like my flip phone... maybe better?
I'm going out already... have to prepare... blog again abt other things... erm.. when i come back lah.. haha! Bye~

Quite random stuff...
Went back to NY a few days back... tues ba... The day i was truly sick... still went back thou... Seen a few teachers... chatted even thou dunno some.. And seriously... i was shocked when the VP said she rmb that there's such a person (ME) in ny when she saw us in the canteen. The thing is... i was nv a student who stands out... so i'm surprised! I think even some of my former tutors can't even recognise me... haha! Anyway it was a nice hang out day with Han, Wanlin and Jiale in NY... After having our fav fishball noodle and my fav apple juice in the canteen... the 3 of us went off to meet Kim while wanlin went home.. And well... the rest of the day was spent chilling out at TCC, slacking at Kim's sch student lounge and at the Thai food store... We spent all the time talking and laughing.. gossiping abt every other thing... shows... guys/boys/men (they know what i mean)... and whatever..
Then i left them to meet Via and Ling while they were having their dessert at the Thai food store... And so.. we had dinner and proceeded to carry out our mission of the day - to buy pres... and eventually we got it settled after much consideration here and there! :)) That's why... we had the time to sit down at Gelare for a waffer! :))) Oh-so-sinful.. but i love it! haha! We slacked until it was abt to close... and make our way home... for some reason... there wasn't any urge to go home for any one of us... but reached home at 11 eventually lah...
Lessons and lessons... what could i say of them... i felt that last sem's modules were more interesting? Although history could be boring... But the subject matter itself is more interesting.. And i realised... the whole course is actually more inclined towards the visual arts side... probably most of the lecturers deal with visual arts... Which is not really my cup of tea.. Arts to them is probably most focused on art itself rather than dance, music or theatre. Maybe that's what i like abt Mary and michele's classes. Cos they are lecturers dealing with mainly theatre.. Haha. So far have yet to attend any michele's lessons.. but... this time it's not abt arts management... but business writing.. haix.
Hopefully i could really prepare myself ahead for every lesson and engage myself in some sort of discussion during the lesson itself... today is really off cos i didn't get a thing from the course kit.. for goodness sake i just got the course kit 2 mins be4 the class started. haha! and being such a slower reader... i got nothing out of the text. =x
Well... ask me abt my written assignment's results... haix... sucks... really... esp. for those history of perf. arts (music, dance, theatre) stuff... it's a pass lah... but then.. the thought of the actual marks just puts me off... i dunno whether it's becos i dun understand or it's becos the effort i put in was minimal... even my visual arts assignment was far better. Weird right. Nonetheless... they are not everything. So since it's already a fact... i should work on this sem's stuff to make sure that it can pull up the grades cos it's 50-50%... Well... Wanying. U got to pull up ur socks!!
Oh.. have to go back in time a bit... to the SPCO concert... Well.. i just got to say that i'm such a good hun-ner.. having such good hun-ing skills... and i think i surprised many ppl by being on the stage... And although i turned up for very few practices (3!!)... i was put behind the concert master... And er... i panicked when i knew... cos i've been thinking of hiding behind those ppl so that i can follow their bowing... =x So hopefully i didn't spoil their music by being such a lousy front person... =P As i've mentioned previous previously.. it's going to be my most unprepared concert... and i really panicked cos i was so so not prepared... SO... i'm so going to prepare myself for future concerts... At least i was more relaxed for mco's concert lah..~
So upcoming are... NUSCO and SYCO lah... the former's is less than 2 months away... 11March, 5pm @ UCC. Oh... there's a teaser for it... quite cute... can go and see see... just click HERE to see it.. Eh.. for that concert... More or less i'm able to catch the songs lah... Anyway... i quite like some of the songs going to be played... Support if you can... Eh.. can get 25% if order the tix be4 27Jan! So must act fast!
As for SYCO... 2June... Just get ur tix at any Sistic counter.. :)) Prac starting real soon... like the coming monday~ A combine session... so going to die at it.. haha! I need to practise on sun and mon!!
Oh!! Did i mention that my neckerman slippers broke?! HAix.. damn sad.. although i was thinking of getting a new pair... it had to give way be4 i actually does... i was on my way home from dinner with my family.. when the piece btwn my first 2 toes came off... luckily we were just across the road from our block.. and thus i was cursing while trying very hard to get home lah... eventually i did... (still with the slipper on!) haha. So really.. now i NEED a new pair instead of WANTing a new pair... sighx. And my iPod nano earpiece is going problematic with the irritating sound again.. SIANX.
Damn... i'm feeling hungry... better go sleep before i grab something to munch. HAha! Nitex.
I took almost an hour to type all these.. -.-'''

Bored blog
Aiya.. din realise that i didn't blog for quite a no. of days le... There are 2 reasons for the inconsistency lately... 1: Was busy playing AuditionSEA... My sis started it lah... and so far i'm still at level6. So slow right.. now not so much time to play cos take very long to load.. haha! 2: Was busy chiong-ing Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nü lor.. Haha. But finished watching the latest episode liao... so have to rest a while... actually it does follow the comic closely lor... but i rmb i didn't finish reading the comic... But up till this point.. i still can rmb the story lah.. Haha.
Ya.. Anyway... going off le... Tired ah..! AND! For goodness sake.. i'm sick AGAIN. Sianx. But now almost recover liao lah... sore throat and nose block... and cough today cos like always got something stuck in the throat. Eh... whatever lah... come back from sch then blog.

Agony...
But treat it as an experience ba... and now i have the same record as Jon lau... going up on stage after only 3 practices with the orchestra. How smart... but this is not a self-praise... in fact i didn't like the idea at all... cos i know i'm really not prepared for it... and why should i be doing something like that.. something that i'm not confident of? And wth guest performers have to pay for the costume... i mean... it's already bad enough not paying ur guest performers like transport fees... and expect them to pay... haix... seriously.. that's poor management and poor public relations.. Haha! Even if the ppl see this.. i still want to say... Pls lah.. ppl are doing u a favour... so u all should consider the fact that it's not very nice to ask the guest performers to pay for something right... the cost should be split amongst urself.. collect more fund or what lah... if not then dun make new one lah... wear own one... sure no prob one right?! Din even ask if the guest player is willing to pay or not... What if he/she last min put aeroplane cos of this?! So Let me say this.. this will be the last time i will do this.. NO MORE 2ND TIME LE~
Hmm.... first week of school... although the timetable is like poo.... but at least i had more time to mix ard with the class... have loads of laughter... blah blah blah.. so not that bad lah... Lol.. Just that... it just had to rain so heavily on thurs and fri... sianx... and the lazy me doesn't want to open umbrella on fri... and so happened that i decided to drop off at parkway after i board the bus... i ran across the road... and got myself super wet... like i just came out from the bathroom.. Lol. And i saw the milk ice thing!! So happy!! :))) Ok.. i'm so easily contented... And i didn't buy anything in the end lah... except for lunch... haha!
ERm... that's all lah... i'm busy watching hua yang shao nian shao nü... very difficult to watch... dl very long!! sianx.. Byebye.

New Year Resolution?!
For me... i do not make any new year resolution... becos... ya.. might be one of those that dun even follow the daily plan... and i believe in living life as it is.. making decisions at correct moments... and not to do anything just for the sake of fulfilling the goals set.. isn't that too rigid?? But seriously i dun like to make plans that are too far... cos anything could just come to me anytime mah... Everyday is also a NEW day mah... haha!
But of cos... i hope to see more good things this year... cos last year... i can say that it's really a roller-coaster year for me whereby there were just so many changes in directions.. so many ups and downs... Maybe it's not a bad thing cos i've gone thru so so much last year... but i prefer a quieter life... haha!
Anyway... still have some wishes lah... be it tangible or intangible... can be bought by money or not... I just want to be a happier person after today!! And i want to foster more closer friendships from now on too! haha! So are these counted as new year resolutions? Lol.

Last 3 days of 2006!
It's been a busy busy weekend.... whereby i'm out everyday for at least 12 hours from fri to sunday... BUT i must say that i quite enjoy myself each of the days... :)
Fri was a total shopping spree... And practically everything i bought... coincidentally were all black in colour... Lol!! A black dress & a black tube from TCP, a black 3/4 sleeve top from U2 and a black pair of covered heels from C&K... Haha~! The first half of the day was spent with Sylvia.... decided to still watch a movie in the end... Night in a Museum... Damn funny... i really had a good laugh there... Thou there were flaws here and there... like how did the table got back to its original position after the Rex sort of destroyed it~ But anyway... it's a good comedy! Catch it!!! :)) Then met Von for dinner and her shoes spree... that's when i got the shoes... afterall... i still bought a pair of shoes... heex.
Sat was MCO practice again... well.. it's the last last one... I was really putting in my effort for it... so much so that my fingers start to peel and feel pain when i press on the strings... which is really bad... Cos there's one more day to go... It may not be a 100% effort... but i could say at least 80-90%... the rest is due to my tiredness... haha! Anyway the day ended a little earlier than usual but after all the waiting and stuff... we still left ard the same time... thereafter went to 85market for dinner... and walked home with via after that...
And finally... Sun!! It's a wonderful last day of the year i must say... thou there were times of frustration, nervousness, and last min problems... but there's more happiness than any of these... That's probably the last time playing with MCO in the near future... cos after that they will be probably busy practising for their respective SYF... and i will also have other commitments to fulfil... And to speak the truth there are really fun and interesting ppl ard... and showing their heart of warmth to someone who is quite a stranger to them -- Me. haha! So i had quite a good time playing with them at backstage and stuff... and i'm rather surprised that i talked quite a lot ytd. even with ppl i do not know their names.. Haha! And of cos i'm happy that melody, charmaine, daijing and yushi came to watch the performance... thou the last person went off halfway thru... and thanks for the flower!! Am really surprised!! :)) And not forgetting all the lip-reading and face making on stage with them since they were so near. haha! ok... i know that's very unprofessional... but we are not what! =P
After the concert and all the photo-taking... went down to marina bay to meet the nusco ppl... Quite a no. of ppl were there... even William and Eugene from sy were there.. haha.. Then we walked to Sheares bridge and waited for the moment... There was a mountain of ppl there thou at the marina bay mrt station was an announcement to ask ppl to go city hall for the countdown and fireworks instead... and i saw this familiar figure whom i think name is joel who WAS from mco... i rmb commenting that his cello was quite well-played.. anyway that's not the point. haha. And so... the fireworks was awksome!!! Er-jie was at there too... just below the bridge while we were on top... And in the end... we still came home together in Royston's (my sis' friend) car with huiyan cos it was so-so-so difficult to get a cab after we've walked from sheares bridge to cityhall mrt just to realise that there's no more train service just as we approach the door to mrt... it's so near yet so far... i think half the population camped outside ytd... haha! And to my surprise it wasn't one of the highlights in today's news.. that the train service could at least extend to even a later time..?!
So i could have been home earlier than the actual time i got home this morning.. yea? Anyway... i enjoyed the day... so there's no regrets. :) And tmr!! I'm meeting my ny ppl for kbox!!! Yeah! Been long since i last went there.. haha!
PS: erm... photos soon... once i got them.. haha!
Happy New Year 2007!
Happy New Year to everyone who reads! :)))
May all of u have a big fat year 2007~
Note: will update on the concert and stuff soon... Look out for it! Heex.
