300th Post - Casual Classical

Woohoo!!! 300th post of this blog!! I took like 2 years to get 300 posts lah.. haha!! But still... it's an achievement.. haha!

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...

Oh yea... as promised... finished M&M ppt slides on my part~! i think i spent quite a lot of time cos practically i'm not familiar with everything... dunno if i categorised correctly... so i research and research again to make sure that whatever i put in is correct. So ta-da! Grp leader say it's done! :))) Then i tried to put pictures in.. but super super ugly... so i sent to her w/o any pictures lah... =x

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..

The last 2 days seems long... i dunno why.. i think i'm still very lost in this whole thing... and well well well... i'm not doing much on my self-discipline... But thanks to caiwen... i have the chance to do my work tmr with a grp of ppl and i think i ought to do some preparation be4 i go...

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...

Haix.. as much as i would like to start on something... i have no idea where to start on... And everything i want to start on.. there ought to be some difficulties... dotx... maybe my research skills really suck... and so resulting in very little results from all the researching.. sighx... how? or should i ask my classmates to share info... sianx.. but thanks that thru my conversation with one of my classmates today... kinda get a bit of hint for tech theatre... but then i like tried to find and found nothing much... so i have to do more comparison...

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!

Sometimes i do feel that i'm very good at hiding my feelings... not that i'm very sad now lah... but of cos there are things that were never said... even to my closest ones... I typed this super long paragraph... but in the end i decided to not let it be known... cos i dun even know if it's correct to do that... haix... in the first place i shouldn't even barge into her private life... but if only she could tell me more abt what happened... But then nvm... i've already thought through everything... and i'm not going to worry and think abt it anymore... cos after all.. it's her own life that she's living... although i hope that she could spare a little more thought for this family... :)

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

Hmm... i can only say that 2nd and 3rd day are better than the first!!! And i sat thru the whole of day 2... and unfortunately missed RV's on day 3... cos they were the first grp... and i was late.. damn... Then i realised that i always miss RV's one... 6yrs ago they were in front of us so we didn't really get to hear... 4yrs ago when we reach there their turn was already over... 2 yrs ago i didn't go... and this year.. missed again... fated! haha.

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

Hmm.... my laziness didn't want me to wake up early this morning... luckily i wasn't meeting anyone... i woke up at 8.40 instead of the originally planned 7.40am to catch today's SYF... BUT.. luckily i managed to catch DHS ba... and quite like their song... er... dun ask me what title... can't rmb.. got something to do with qu yuan(again).. haha.

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! :))

What am i doing?

I'm so so so lost now... it seems like everything is getting nowhere for me... i seriously dunno what am i doing... Of cos i know i have very impt stuff to do.. but the thing is that... it's the syncronisation of my team members and i is not very good... so much so that the time that they are ard... i'm always busy.. and vice versa... and it really takes a very very long time to get things done... we drag and drag and drag... that is also not what i want to see... but sometimes ppl are just too unproductive... and i seriously feel so guilty that in the end it seems like i've done nothing at all cos everything i'm prepared to do... there's always some disruption and when the classmate doesn't come to sch.. i have to always ans for her... in the first place i wanted to do it... but she said she could manage and would send me after that so that i could cont with the rest of the stuff.. but.. where is it~?!?! it's already a week! Then whatever i did... it has to be changed by another person... then what's the point of asking me to do it... I just feel that i'm in such a difficult position... one side kept on rushing... the other kept on saying 'wait'... WTH lah! That in the end... it's like i didn't contribute anything... BUT seriously i dun even know what can i do now!!

ARGH! Just let me grumble lah... HAIX~!!! Hopefully next sem.. less grp work lah~! Enough for this sem man... EVERYTHING ENDS 20 April...

The Phantom of Opera - Part 2

Anyway... talk abt the Phantom 2nd time.. 24March2007. 2pm. Esplanade Theatre. Row L of Stall Seat 20.

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

Err... although i said i want to blog on a more regular basis... i found out that it's not easy nowadays... esp. there's so many project deadlines coming up... and well... with all the grp stuff... even the procrastinator has to work... lol...

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

Shall talk abt the night at Esplanade on thurs! It's almost exciting if not for the fact that i'll be there again on this sat..~! Nonetheless... i do enjoy it with just the few 200 of us in the whole big theatre.. enjoying the whole show to ourselves even before the show opens on fri 23march.. YES! It's The Phantom Of Opera lah...

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!

I so wanted to blog ytd... but was really feeling unwell when i got back from sy sectionals... so i slept early... and i'm gonna do the same today... but cos i'm home earlier today.. shall blog be4 i sleep...

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

I realised that i really dun blog as frequent as be4... i used to blog everyday last time.. i mean abt 3 years ago... Hmm... is it that life has become less interesting for me that's why the decrease in entries?? MAYBE... but it could be plain laziness also lah... haha...

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.. :)

Err... i'm so bored i had to blog here in class... haha! Earlier i was playing Audition in class lor... BUT that is becos i already finished the experiemental website that we are supposed to do in class... but well... Kelvin didn't check lah... so he's talking abt something else now... Haha.. And mostly i know how to do le lah... cos it's html codes lah... and what am i doing? Blogging lah... how can i not know right... haha! Not trying to say i'm smart... but it takes a very long time to know what to do also lah... a lot of trial and error leh... Anyway.. i'll just listen and see how different it is on dreamweaver lor...

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

Hmm... Just finished NUSCO concert ytd (10Mar07)... had a great time ba.. although it was really tiring... And although i didn't play perfectly thru the concert (obviously)... I was happy to hear compliments... that i was rather zai! Haha! Unbelievable.. Actually some parts i was quite nervous lah.. but hun guo qu then ok liao.. =P

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.

Since i'm waiting for my hp and ipod to charge... shall update ba... Erm.. trying to be regular blogger lah.. haha! (at least for some time) Heex.

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...

Realised i haven't been in the best of mood lately... why huh?! It just seems like i'm unconcerned abt anything that is happening around me.. i wasn't exactly happy to hear that lessons tonight will be canceled... partly becos i'll have nowhere to go... and it's one chance less for... whatever.

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?

Just realised that i haven't been blogging... heex.

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

ERm... almost a week nv blog le.. Heex. Been busy? I think so.. at least it was so during cny hols and the weekends... And of cos.. schooling lah... dun say i nv study!! Haha.

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. :)
