Finally...
Of cos.. i've realised that this is not the best channel for public complaints... and i realised i have better ways to do it.. heex. so shouldn't talk abt it anymore...
Anyway... finally gotten to be attached to the festival... although we are doing very mild jobs as compared to the other classmates... we are grateful to have something to do... and at least not leaving us in a great state of panic... and i think we bound to learn something from these little jobs... be it good or bad... and could be useful to future when we do festivals ourselves. it's really better than nothing. and the ppl are so far being very nice. :)
Well... i have to thank the classmates who were concerned abt this matter as much as i am... knowing our situation.. asking ard for us and speaking up for us in some way or another... i really appreciate it.. and i choose to believe that they are real. thanks very much. becos it's so discreet, if we didn't ask ard to clarify some of our doubts.. they actually didn't know what has the festival and our own lect has got us into.. and i seriously doubt my lect's words from then on. i was just plain disappointed by how it was handled. at the very least, the other lect fought for our rights for the last attachment.. and i think we were all grateful for that.
The difference between the 2 attachments is that the 1st one was done very openly, everyone knows what everyone else is doing, and although the organisers were somehow quite unorganised at some times.. they gave EVERYONE very clear schedules at the very first day of the event. and the organisers came to do a mass briefing thus clearing doubts here and there in everyone's presence, and anyone who was left out could voice out at the very moment. but for this current one, as they informed ppl in different batches, every grp got their briefing separately (probably due to the difference in job scope), everyone started on different days, everyone have different in-charge and stuff like that... and very clearly... it wasn't as 'fair' as what our lect had told us. If we had gone for that lesson this morning, i guess our lect might have no where to stand.. and they wouldn't be able to end the class 1h earlier. I think there's just too many 'political' issues in this whole matter that in the end, nothing can resolve it, cos biasness is a very personal thing.
Oopx.. did i complain? haha... i was merely comparing... thus pls be careful of ur own future attachments. haha. I think even though it's very tiring to do the job that was allocated today... i feel fulfilled getting to do something... if not i just feel so outcasted when everyone else is talking abt the festival since it's the on-going thing... ANYWAY... the festival events are WAY too expensive.. i think u can guess what's the fest. we are attached to...

Get to know urself better...
Got the link from someone's blog earlier... but didn't post.. so anyway... here it is.. and click HERE to do it urself
Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

SLACK.
I practically did nothing for the whole weekend. haix. why? cos i had nothing to do for the festival while the others are busy at esplanade or some other places. dotx. Some say that it's a good thing cos i can slack at home. true... but it's really painful to see all ur friends involved and you know nothing abt it at all. but thanks cw for updating me a bit this morning.
Maybe it's really a blessing in disguise... thou i'm very unhappy abt it... i had no worries slacking at home for the whole day. Actually still have school work to do... but am really lazy... but i think later no matter what still will produce something for him tmr lah. it's really a sucky assignment but well... still have to do it.
Dunno since when... watching tv is like my hobby.. i nv used to like watching tv all day maybe 2 years ago... i rather i go online and hog the comp for the whole night... but i'm watching tv on a very routine basis.. i could wake up at 9am and start watching tv till erm... the whole morning and aftn and i have a timetable to watch what at what time. hee! Anyway... watching star search now lah... i like S5! chen bang jun. he's good.. nice smile, nice build, good-looking.. and i think he will win!!! hahaha.
I'm really sian lah... (and bu shuang also). hmm... thus i'm not going to care and i'm going to work next week! bleahx! we'll see yea.. i really want to know our lecturer's reaction. And i took back all my words earlier abt looking forward to sun fest attachment... no matter what we are going to be assigned on this very last min basis and how good/bad it is. i dun give a damn cos that's the attitude they gave us too. how ridiculous it is when they tell u that they really dunno where to slot u when supposedly we were told that everyone has been already given a job. i dun believe it. Even when we are not paid.. that is not the way to treat us... i urge the school to choose the IBL company more carefully in future. ok.. not like they will see this... but seriously i feel very very mistreated through this incident... not only me but also other 4friends.
Argh... i really dun want to make this place full of the complaints in my life... but why must this have to happen to me? i dun blame my other classmates even it's an unfair thing... cos they probably didn't know as well... but think of it.. given my classical music background.. if i'm not qualified for the job... i dunno who is. not trying to show off my grade8 cert here.. the fact is probably none of them know as well.. and since most of the classmates came are more into visual arts/fine arts. probably very few of them are musicians or even part-time musicians. just feeling very unjust that's all.
I promise not to complain abt this matter again... probably complain abt other things. haha. Did i mention my accounts test last fri? cw commented to her bf that i'm aiming for 100marks.. Well.. I am! And hopefully i can get at least a 90.. cos it's only the basics and if i can't do well.... what abt the rest? so.. let's wait.
i think i should have a label call 'complaints' as well.. hahaha.

TIRED.
Haix.. dun feel like complaining anymore even though the situation haven't improve yet. I can't believe that even till the day of the start of the whole festival... we still dunno what we are supposed to do.. And seriously, the words and the way my lecturer puts it in the last email just shows how we are the 'left overs'.. and it seems hard to get a position for us. I'd rather not do it. ARGH. Whatever. But i can just say that they disrupted my life. every extra school activity is doing that.
Anyway... just finished studying for the accounts test tmr.. after the 15min nap just now... dun seem to be too tired now... but will go and sleep after this lah... hopefully test LATER will not be too bad lah.... since maths is usually my forte... i should thrive to do well in this. BUT. just becos of the test tmr.. i will have $50+ less to spend next month. haix. but well.. for the sake of my results. Can somebody tell me why are we obliged to do everything just for results? (including the attachments)
Other than these... I think i enjoyed myself in the evening thou there was absolutely no one talking to me throughout the time in the cinema... i hoped i was more sociable... =x But the films were really cool and some really reflects a lot on our lives. So anyway congrats to a fellow nyjcian who was one of the 3 in the champion grp. *prouds :) [Will talk abt the event more when got time]
Work was not bad too... got a visitor in the afternoon... 'dearest' mike. lol! These bunch of ppl are just out to bully me... even thou he's one year younger. i can't believe it. But managed to exchange some stupid and some normal conversations. And while we talked abt some ppl who had left the company.. kinda remind me of last time... but what passed has passed... things are all different now... and i'm so called in a safer zone. and ppl i know are just leaving one by one (not the part-times). if money is not impt, perhaps none of these will happen. haha. wistful thinking again. Even i think that money is impt. haha.
Ok... Nitex. OMG. Consecutively 3 days sleeping at 3+am. and waking up at ard 8am for the previous 2 days... and i think i will wake up ard that time again in the morning to just do a quick scan through again. to refresh memory. haix. students nowadays.

ARGH.
The quote of the day: "Everybody makes a difference".
Personally, I want to make a bigger difference than the one i'm arranged to make.
Of cos.. i have heard of this phrase long long time ago... but when u heard it in the wrong context... it didn't really feel good. Seriously, anyone in the same plight would have thought so too.. of cos... it is my own deduction... but i must have some grounds in saying so...
Firstly... no matter what kind of job we are in for... isn't it only basic courtesy to even let us know before hand... for goodness sake it's only 2 days before the start of the festival and these few of us do not even know what positions we are in. At least let us know what to expect. no emails, no phonecalls, no schedules, no nothing! I dun think it's nice to keep us in such suspense (esp. if it's bad one) for so long while seeing everyone else having themselves involved nicely to the event. At least for the previous one we were told much before hand even though the jobs are not much liked. And there was ample time to plan anything else ahead. Unlike this.. so last min! Oops.. i'm sorry but it's only last min for a few ppl..
There must be a reason behind everything.. of cos when she says the quote of the day as first mentioned... she could have meant no harm or there could be an underlying msg in it... i do not know... i'll give a both sides explanation... Of cos the consoling part is that everyone.. no matter how easy or how lowly the job is... everyone is equally important. and all of us will learn something out of it.. Yes. I agree. then it could mean that it's really true that there are just some jobs that obviously too little to be attached to.. Thanks for giving examples... but i think they didn't help at all. It just reflects how she thinks that the position is very minute too. Isn't it?
Fairness? Is there even such a thing at all... there's contradiction everywhere! Yes, i agree that those who really sent in a research ppl on whichever artist deserve who they got... thou i didn't managed to do a full research... I did express my area of interest too! The fact that she pointed out that some of them were put into certain areas cos she already knew their interest already show that there isn't anything she call it 'fairness'. Then why am i not given a chance at all? Tell me abt choosing randomly... my foot!
It's not that i dun want to believe that my most prob job is not impt... but think... if u ask anyone else to give up their current position for this... they would most prob think u are mad... but i'm sure everyone in the same section as me would rather give our job up for something else.
But whatever it is... no matter how much i think and how upset i am abt it... it is already a matter of fact which i can't change. I wasn't hopeful for any good news actually. If something is going to make me happy, tell me that i'm excused for the whole thing. i'd be more happy.
Nv been so looking forward to something and in the end gotten so disappointed abt it... and i actually hid my emotions in front of everyone. thanks but dun tag or talk to me regarding anything in this entry... nothing helps at the moment.

SAMMI CHENG rocks.
Omg... have been feeling so tired these few days.. or ever since the attachment.. i sleep at the latest 1+am feeling super duper tired... and spent the weekend afternoon sleeping too. dotx. But i guess it's back to proper business now..
I think a few of us were all confused why haven't we gotten our positions for the next attachment yet... i wasn't much suspicious cos i thought most of us haven't... eventually it was not until of cos a friend told me something on the negative side... and i was influenced by his thinking... at first i was thinking that he's just being over sensitive.. but after all... i would still think.. why is it so? there's only a few of us left... no news and whatever. So i couldn't help but start thinking why did it become this way... as most of us anticipate this attachment much more than the previous one.... what has happened had more or less lowered my moral anyhow. thus... i'm less excited towards the attachment and whatever unless something good comes my way.
On a lighter note.. I was really delighted to have attended SAMMI CHENG's concert last night! Yeah yeah... went with my cousin who claimed to like her.. haha. anyway it was real cool.. we were high right from the start of the concert... until she started telling her story for the period she wasn't ard and singing a few slow songs... but how amazing it was to see the whole place so quiet while she narrated her story... eh.. cos only understood part of it... my canto still not good lah... can only understand the main idea but details... i dunno!! but i was better than jiaqi lah. dotx. she couldn't understand a thing. haha! so i translated whatever i could understand... lol.
Then then... why she nv sing more of her chinese classic numbers!??! and what happened to all the familiar tv series songs?! WHY??? i was waiting for them lah. So in the end other than the songs she sang with Yanzi - the guest artist for the concert... she only sang ONE other chinese song... which was 出界... haix. So on our way out... the 2 of us were like singing some of her chinese songs on our own... lol.
I think the highest point of the concert was when she started the medley of her fast dance numbers including 小心女人，canto version of 眉飞色舞，独一无二，非男非女... and so on... er.. some of the songs i'm unfamiliar with cos it wasn't much chance to listen to her canto songs.... well.. singapore's restriction that is... what could we do?! HUH?!
NONETHELESS... i enjoyed the concert. so much so that i think i'm starting to listening to her songs again... there was a period i kept on listening to her albums... there was a time i stopped. and now i'm going to do so again. Hohoho! SHE ROCKS!!!! :)))
Thus... hereby i would really like to thank YES933fm for giving me this precious chance to see Sammi live on stage... i just have to lend my voice for a while on air and some time to travel to mediacorp to get the tix. THANK YOU! ANd pls... tell me that u all are giving out Amei's concert tix too! =P
PS: i'mtoo lazy to upload any photos. eh.. when i have time and mood. now.. bear with those words. or simply connect urself to cruzteng's blog for some pictures... haha.

Unfocused...
Haix... I'm starting to feel tired of everything... having headache at work today... it was rather boring to be at shaw cos there's really nothing much to so... but the good thing is... i have a lot of freedom there... can do my own stuff there... thou in the end i din really do my reflective journal after knowing that it's due only on 30th... but i could do a lot of something else to curb the boredness there... plus.. had a few games of yahoo pool. haha!
Anyway... deadlines are really coming and i really dunno if i can fulfil them lah... and i'm really scared cos there are just so many things undone... and so many other stuff to do too! And now my friend is asking me to go shanghai with her over a weekend!!! omg. I want to go lah... but what abt my school? and i'm supposed to go to the Class Halloween party rmb? Oh... i haven't said anything abt it yet... so what am i supposed to do? HAIX.
I think i'm too unorganised in my thoughts lately... actually i have so many things in my mind but i just dunno how to pen them down properly... The coming week will be yet another hectic one... I hope good news is really coming to me soon...

Copied directly from the last para of 3rd oct post. :)
I think this bit is going to be quite off... but i was just thinking.. (actually
i thought for a long time already)... if u are given a choice of magical power [edit]aka super powers[/edit] to possess... what would you choose? Eg. fly, go through the walls, teleport, greatest strength.. err.. whatever u can think of lah. JUST ONE. What would you MOST like to possess? I have an ans for my own... but i'll reveal it the next time cos i think it's going to be quite a lengthy one. haha.. :)

400th post: end of attachment 1
Wow... this is my 400th post... i think these 100 posts were achieved in a rather short time. as compared to the past. haha. and it marks the end of my first 6-day attachment too! :)))
Ok... I think we should all look at this attachment from a different perspective. Instead of thinking of how bad the organisers were, how bad their attitude were, how lousy were their organisational skills, how low were our pay, how we have to do all sorts of stuff, how some ppl were just so irresposible (both organisers and crew)... whatever and whatever... ok.. we should think of these.. but not in the way of just complaining and complaining... instead... think this way. If we dun like what they are doing.. we make sure that we dun make any of those mistakes when it's our turn in future.
Yes... the event might be a success... but i dun think the credits just go to the fair organisers... and reason for the fair to expand every year is not becos the galleries like working with the organisers as well... i believe if there's other choices (other comtemp art fairs)... they would have left this one... but there's no other choices! there's only one and the biggest comtemp art fair in asia. Ya.. so much for the name... and after all... there were galleries that feedback to us abt their unhappiness towards the organisers. and of cos we see the attitudes ourselves. I can't believe the fact some ppl just suckup to foreign galleries and treat local ones like shit. i hope i interpreted the person's words and tone wrongly. but i doubt so. cos the very first reaction that my friend had when we heard that person saying that was the same.
Sorry for all these unclear stuff here... can't reveal all the names... in case there's tracking down. (the power of google). Anyway... it's just like another womad that started some bitching moments abt some ppl out there. and yea.. i bitch too! erm. was unhappy with particular ppl ever since dunno when lah. but the attachment just made things worst. it's super obvious cos once everyone's behind.. the bitching starts.
Anyway... u can say i'm stupid or silly... but i didn't feel anything offensive towards myself throughout the whole 6 days. The fact that my friends pointed out that i was treated rudely made me surprised! cos i didn't felt so. even after they mentioned. i guess i just didn't take all those remarks seriously. and i seriously think that i'm that kind of person who would try to get out of trouble by smiling the matter off.. or just keep quiet.
Anyhows.. i would like to thank the organisation for deciding to increase our pay by $10 per day. thou it's still not a lot... it's enough to cover my expenses for that few days plus the 2bags i bought at samsonite fair. haha! and i think there's still a bit of leftovers. :) Thankfully. erm. wondering if i should return the money to dad. since he paid for the bags first.
HAix... really tired. shall continue tmr. bye.

Complains... =X
I'm pretty amazed that after the 4th day... u see lesser and lesser ppl appearing at the place... and u still see me sitting in front of the comp typing this after the long 10h... The only thing i could say was... the employer/organiser just made everything worst. They were super unhelpful... just give u ans like 'i dunno', 'dun ask me', 'just tell them (blah blah blah)...', 'go and ask (another person)', and 'this is none of our business'. DOTX. and a lot more lah...
The first 2 days were really terrible... and there were many things that screwed up... and they still think that it's not their problem... and thus on the 2nd day aka gala opening night... we had to do a lot of lousy job like washing cups for the lounges... why do we have to do that i also dunno... but from that day onwards, apparently everyday there's a grp of ppl that start washing dishes at a certain time in the evening... and i still do not understand why.
Then many many ppl just go missing without letting ppl know where they went and stuff... take long long long breaks now and then... ok... i do take some time off with caiwen and rest. but at least we done something! i seriously dunno what the other ppl have been doing.
It's how weird even after the tasks were already allocated properly.. the organiser can just pull ppl out to do something else at any time of the day. somehow i think that they should just give us a better scope of the timings cos every now and then there ought to be some manpower problem here and there... then they start finding ppl to cover up and mess up the whole schedule...
But these 2 days weren't that bad... i tried many roles thru the day... be busy the whole day.... but that's probably the reason why the time seems to pass by very fast for today. and at the end of the day... there were some returns that the few of us shared together. :)
Anyway i'm really tired and my eyes are closing already. i'll try to update again.. ANYWAY. 2 more days! YEAH!!! :))) Can't wait for monday to come and party our heads off even if there's none organised for us. lol!

5 more days to go!
Ya.. i think i blog quite regularly also.. haha! Well... i've got nothing else to do at the moment what. haha.
I think today was a bad start for me cos i was late.. dotx. for less than 5min lah. but in their policy late for 1min also late. so ya.. tmr i will TRY to get there as early as possible. lol! =P Anyways... it's not really that bad lah.. just that really tiring... and we dun really have anything to do for the day since not all of us are of good help to the gallery owners/exhibitors. But hopefully the following days wouldn't be too bad. Cos after all we have to write reflective learning journal for the attachment.
Sorry huh... but can i complain again?! why are we paid SOOOO LITTLE? there's another grp of ppl whom they were paid much more than us lah. dotx. it's like... even if we are obliged to work for them... it doesn't mean that they should exploit us right? Afterall this kind of things are not secrets... everyone knows once we get there! so why are we treated in a so unfair manner? Just becos they claimed that they are doing us a favour by giving us a job attachment? And so it's ok for us to be exploited? I hope we will have better luck the next time... or rather... over the next few days first. thanks.
On a lighter note... the first day have passed! 5more days! lol. anyway towards the end of the day caiwen and i got to run more errands for the heads... i think cos we were seen walking ard and doing nothing too much. haha. so we went out twice to get stuff for them... the 2nd was really tiring cos we do not have much time left and we had to go all the way to carrefour... and then... she haven't return me the extra i paid. ok... she said that we should work within budget.. we did call her.. but she didn't pick up... so we called the even more senior person and he didn't say anything! ok.. not like she's not going to return me lah... haha. And finally! the first time we heard him praise someone... and that's us! haha... for something minor lah.
Ok.. that's all for day 1... i'm really tired afterall... now i got tight leg muscles... need more relaxation... and sleep. NITEx! :)))
side note: YEAH! playing erhu for genting!! lol. :)

Happiness triumph over unhappiness?
Is it like what the title suggest? Well.. read on and decide for me. haha.
WOO! Went to Kbox ytd with Via, er-jie and her bf... heex. long time nv sing? erm... last time was with the royal family lah. abt a month ago. lol. Anyways.. enjoyed. sang some high songs. And i really like LeeHom's new album.. (though not very new already. haha) But the songs are cool... esp. 改变自己.. singing that in k is really wow! :) So yea.. relaxation be4 the hard work comes. Well.. in less than 11hrs' time. HAIX. no further explanation needed. Anyway. i'll TRY to enjoy it with my classmates yea...
OH! I did something ytd afternoon which i think i was so brave.. and lucky too.. lol! I won 2 tickets to Sammi Cheng's concert on 13 Oct. lol! HOw nice. I actually called into YES 933fm to get the tickets lah. hahaha... I was er... super excited when the line got thru. And i didn't expect myself doing this lah... Anyhows... Yeah! i get to watch the concert! :))) so happy. Think i need to gan chang again... cos i already bought tickets to LASALLE's dance item for dan:s festival... to do my assignment... at first i was still thinking whether to buy the 13th one or the 14th one. cos that time i was already thinking what if i'm going for the sammi's concert? (although i really dun have the extra cash to buy the tix) but i thought if i watch the earlier one... i have more time to do it mah. so i bought the 13th one lah... BUT luckily the dance performance is at 6pm and last for only an hour. so ya.. i'll still be able to make it to SIS anyhow. :)
So much so for the excitement. i'll be looking forward to that day... but first.. i guess i'll be looking forward to the end of the attachment. somehow. i think most of the class dreads the attachment. we all rather we have this week's rest and go back to school for normal lessons next week. but do we even have a choice? well. the ans is clearly 'no'. so might as well just accept the fate.
I think this bit is going to be quite off... but i was just thinking.. (actually i thought for a long time already)... if u are given a choice of magical power to possess... what would you choose?

Add-ons to stitch collection :)
Apparently... i slacked away the WHOLE sunday. really slack. first i woke up ard 11.30am. And no one was ard by then... so i started with watching tv.... and more tv watching... and watched more tv lol. i spent the day nowhere else but on beds. mine and my parents'. lol. Cos nobody was at home with me till 6pm when er-jie finally called and say she's on the way home in a cab. ya. FINALLY. My gifts! heex.
Thanks to my er-jie for expanding my Stitch collection! :))) A Stitch doll keychain from Disneyland in Halloween costume.. A stitch organiser... No need to buy organiser next year liao... lol. and a stitch keychain in a capsule! And a shirt from hard rock cafe. YEAH. I love my sis although she didn't give the burberry bag to me. lol. but well. i'm contented! Heex.
Ya. so there goes my sunday... spent rotting ard and stuff... only TRYING to do some research.. and my search page is hang now.. so i have to faster finish typing so that i can research the explorer... dotx.

Quite random stuff...
Yeah! Er-jie coming back from Japan tmr! And she said she bought things for me! hohoho. :)
Didn't really do anything today except to sleep and watch tv and eat and online. i mean seriously nothing else. Ok... i ought to do some research later.. 2 researches to be exact.
Oh. did i mention that from mon onwards supposedly is our one week break from school... and most unfortunately the whole class have to be attached to an event for 6 days from wed to mon. and the other 2 days... class B (my class) has to return to school for some make-up class for a mod which the other class is not taking yet. dotx! So there goes the WHOLE one week. haix! What a break... worst than normal school days.. and a freaking $20 allowance for working 10h a day. how abt that. i hope i haven't complain abt this anymore. even so. i want to still complain again! argh. so unhappy lah. and i think that we weren't treated with any kind of respect as well.. as i think i mentioned before. underpaid and overwork.. whatever!
Think i've been buying a lot of albums... and thinking of buying somemore. lol. Latest 2 to the collection was A-mei's Star and Taiwan Variety Show Happy Sunday's 校园歌喉战 compilation of 10 of the contestants... inside got a few fav competitors for the competition. :) Then there was Club do Balanco's album i got from WOMAD.. before that was LeeHom's 改变自己 and POC: At World's End OST. Then even before that was JJ's 西界 lah... Omg. my colleague asked me why did i spend so much money buying albums... then i was thinking lah... (i didn't ans him). And i guess it was one of JJ's song 盗 (编号89757 album) that influenced my thinking. perhaps be4 that i was still immersed in getting my hands on anything that saves me money. but after that i think properly be4 i buy any albums and make sure i'm buying the genuine one. A good deed after all.. (other than dl-ing 1 or 2 from some websites. lol) =x
Oh.. would like to comment on A-mei's album packaging... wah.. really nice lah.. the moment the box slide out from the outer cover... beautiful.. :) The lyrics booklet too.. although there were other ppl that used the plastic cover concept for the lyrics book too.. but not as well done! I like the design and all... Thanks for putting so much effort in making us buyers happy. haha!
Thanks to wenwei.. i started playing online pool again.. dotx. gonna try if other yahoo games work easily cos there were some unpleasant changes which made me stop playing yahoo games. in fact the site didn't even allow me to load the games properly.. not to say play. then i wonder when will i start playing audition again. lol...
Eh... i think nothing liao... hw and everything piling up. All the best to me. haha. and my classmates.

赶场 Saturday. lol.
OK lah. i update ok! zhiwen says update after i get home... so... 'after i get home'! =X Haha. ok. lame. BUT i'm tired liao! =P
Eh... i think today very fun! haha... work was slack as usual... brought my lappy there so that can use to do some research... and i did ok! i wasn't just playing facebook hor.. (although most of the time i was) lol! then then... i think uncle ronnie and ww are trying to make me grow fat again! Argh. keep buying food lah. but both days i didn't finish the noodles. first was spicy. second was i had breakfast ard 9.30am and ask me to eat noodles at 11.30am?! dotx. then third was still spicy. dotx. for the times/days i were there... there isn't a single time i had to deal with spicy lunch. but well... i have to cos after all i didn't pay for any of them. not a single time when uncle is ard. so i felt so bad to complain lah. as long as i can take it then ok lah. Overall... working at shaw centre is still much better thou sales not that good... but i dun mind working there lah. :)
Then went over to raffles place for the urban clap thing we were supposed to attend with the class... then erm... by the time i reach there... they were all ready to leave! omg. i just wasted my time and energy and whatever lah. dotx. but managed to chit chat and laugh with some of my classmates be4 i left for another meeting up and concert.
SCO pre-tour concert. half fun half sian. is it becos this isn't a priced concert so it means that they can treat it like a rehearsal? But i think Mr Lee was quite good for his solo. :) And we kept shifting place.. or rather... me! dotx. so in the end i was sitting with some sy ppl and my da-jie and dad. And they played Tian Wang!!!!! OMG!! I so miss that song lah... i think xunqi and others who were in syco'05 would agree with me. FAV song of all. we were all reciting the poem.. but zhiwen lah.. that year haven't join yet... dunno anything. dotx! so i was reciting along beside her. lol. Dun feel like commenting other songs liao. And and... i was soo smart! i guessed that their encore would be hua hao yue yuan (花好月圆)... and it's true! It was the last of their 3 encore pieces. THREE! zai huh. I rmb the bei jing yi ye (北京一夜) at Botanic garden last year. so cool lah. we were laughing so much that the ppl in front turned and looked at us. see lah! ur fault. haha.
After concert walked to Esplanade from SCH.. then walked to marina mac in the end.. sat down for a while and the guys decided to go catch the last train. so they chiong all the way... while the girls decided to take bus. lol. So... bus-ed with zhiwen.. actually wanted to take all the way.. but then so tired. and lazy to walk from bedok int back. so i dropped and took a cab back. haha! =x. OH zhiwen. i think i know when and why we took bus tgt the last time. It was after last year's Beautiful Sunday!! Yea.. i have good memory! (minus that time i can't rmb where i saw u at suntec) hahahaha. =P
Wah... i really look forward to the chalet lah... i think we will all just talk and talk and talk non stop and laugh and laugh and laugh non stop also. lol. Anyway. before Genting trip and after exams pls! Zixin and jessly and sylvia also going to genting. so avoid those dates!! HEEx.
Sorry zhiwen but i've got to say this.. the ending joke of the day was... I asked zhiwen how old does my father looks like... and her ans was.................. 'he looks like a father.' DOTX! if u even consider that an ans to the qns. dotxxx... crap lah.
Eh... i think today very fun! haha... work was slack as usual... brought my lappy there so that can use to do some research... and i did ok! i wasn't just playing facebook hor.. (although most of the time i was) lol! then then... i think uncle ronnie and ww are trying to make me grow fat again! Argh. keep buying food lah. but both days i didn't finish the noodles. first was spicy. second was i had breakfast ard 9.30am and ask me to eat noodles at 11.30am?! dotx. then third was still spicy. dotx. for the times/days i were there... there isn't a single time i had to deal with spicy lunch. but well... i have to cos after all i didn't pay for any of them. not a single time when uncle is ard. so i felt so bad to complain lah. as long as i can take it then ok lah. Overall... working at shaw centre is still much better thou sales not that good... but i dun mind working there lah. :)
Then went over to raffles place for the urban clap thing we were supposed to attend with the class... then erm... by the time i reach there... they were all ready to leave! omg. i just wasted my time and energy and whatever lah. dotx. but managed to chit chat and laugh with some of my classmates be4 i left for another meeting up and concert.
SCO pre-tour concert. half fun half sian. is it becos this isn't a priced concert so it means that they can treat it like a rehearsal? But i think Mr Lee was quite good for his solo. :) And we kept shifting place.. or rather... me! dotx. so in the end i was sitting with some sy ppl and my da-jie and dad. And they played Tian Wang!!!!! OMG!! I so miss that song lah... i think xunqi and others who were in syco'05 would agree with me. FAV song of all. we were all reciting the poem.. but zhiwen lah.. that year haven't join yet... dunno anything. dotx! so i was reciting along beside her. lol. Dun feel like commenting other songs liao. And and... i was soo smart! i guessed that their encore would be hua hao yue yuan (花好月圆)... and it's true! It was the last of their 3 encore pieces. THREE! zai huh. I rmb the bei jing yi ye (北京一夜) at Botanic garden last year. so cool lah. we were laughing so much that the ppl in front turned and looked at us. see lah! ur fault. haha.
After concert walked to Esplanade from SCH.. then walked to marina mac in the end.. sat down for a while and the guys decided to go catch the last train. so they chiong all the way... while the girls decided to take bus. lol. So... bus-ed with zhiwen.. actually wanted to take all the way.. but then so tired. and lazy to walk from bedok int back. so i dropped and took a cab back. haha! =x. OH zhiwen. i think i know when and why we took bus tgt the last time. It was after last year's Beautiful Sunday!! Yea.. i have good memory! (minus that time i can't rmb where i saw u at suntec) hahahaha. =P
Wah... i really look forward to the chalet lah... i think we will all just talk and talk and talk non stop and laugh and laugh and laugh non stop also. lol. Anyway. before Genting trip and after exams pls! Zixin and jessly and sylvia also going to genting. so avoid those dates!! HEEx.

Essay rush starting.
Haven't been blogging properly... and these few days been working on my history of music essay... And i just finished everything. er.. deadline is today lah.. so die die also have to complete. and luckily i did~! Haix. i think it's going to be the same situation for the rest of the components as well... cos i haven't watched any dance performance yet! OMG. If i can only watch the Lasalle performance for dan:s fest. i would only have less than 3days to complete the assignment. omg. how am i going to die man. UNLESS... i forgo the SCO pre-tour concert this fri and go to the nus one. But i certainly do not want to~! ARGH. HOW? at this point of time.. i have no idea at all. cos i'm really very tired already.
Plus this sem have quite a no. of modules have written assignment... so.. all the best! haix.
Anyway... er-jie is in Japan for vacation now... dotx. coming back on sunday i think. And mum is going to jakarta with my aunt-in-law, uncle and grandaunt.. for a week too. ok.. it means more freedom. Of cos. I HAVE to enjoy before the 3rd comes which marks the start of torture. underpaying and overworking. unfair isn't it. and so much for their rules. whatever. nothing was more annoyed that the event has to be during the same period as my part time close door sales. dotx. i was super angry when i knew abt it. like why should i be doing something that i feel is not going to be beneficial to me and not doing something i would enjoy more? Eventually i'm really think that our course is too mixed up of everything. and we are forced to take every module even if it doesn't appeal to me. cos i'm nv interested in visual arts and still not insterested. but so far the modules that we took... most of them were abt VA. i'm pissed.
And tired. time to sleep. no worries for tonight first.
Anyway. it was mid-autumn festival ytd lah. and i was typing away for the essay. nonetheless... set aside some time for mooncakes! haha. too bad er-jie wasn't ard. mooncakes are nice! haha! Happy Belated Mid-Autumn Festival! :)))

KARAOKE
OMG... i actually 'aroused' my mum's longing to sing ktv. lol!! cos today my colleague asked me what songs do i NOT know how to sing... then i was like... thinking how to put it... then i said.. songs that i dun like then i dunno lor. lol! actually not true.. should be songs i've nv heard be4 then i dunno. even when i didn't like them.. i know how to sing! well.. at least the chorus part. Ok.. so when i just told my mum abt it... she was like... she dun believe that i know a lot of songs... so she started taking out her song books of the oldies and test me! DOTX. Like REAL oldies. from 40s to 80s. HAHAHA. in the end she was surprised that i really knew a lot. lalala!
Then my mother said... let's sing karaoke one day... at home lah... (no wait.. she first said go konghwa karaoke to sing. dotx. i refused.) anyway we have a full system at home... haha! i mean we used to sing at home rather often in the past... but everyone got busy with our own life... so we haven't sing tgt for a long time... and usually only my mother, er-jie and i sing the most. da-jie dun usually sing with us... at least not in my memory.. probably cos she aren't as musically inclined as us... and shy. my dad just always sit at the side and sing without the mike unless we push it to him..
Ok... so when's the next kbox session? Lately got a lot of new songs... so must go chiong those songs.. haha!! JJ, LeeHom, A-mei... blah blah blah.. =P BUT at least after next wed... the coming one. Cos... i have an essay due on that day and so far... i'm 0 out of 900-1000 words. Wow. how nice. i dunno how to start and what to write. damn. so much for the first assignment due. haix.

NO Reservations
Argh.. very lazy to blog these few days. no one cares also what. Anyway.. haven't got the chance to blog abt this movie. hee.
Actually went to catch it last week.. one day after class... not bad... Catherine Zeta-Jones is good! It seems real that she's (Kate) trying very hard to make a good parent for Zoe (her niece who just lost her mother). And Aaron Eckhart (ok. i can't rmb his name in the movie) is very cool in the movie.. Listening and singing opera almost every minute. It's really quite touching how he tried to make things happen.. And things really happened! Well... Happy ending of cos.
Other than just romance and comedy.. the show provides some family warmth and fine food as well~! How bad can it be then? Lately there's really a lot of movies involving food yea. And i think this is worth the ticket money. Eh. the others. haven't watch yet. haha!
Am really tired... And I have to say again that i'm currently very addicted to Facebook. Dotx. Maybe i will grow sick of it soon. Err.. or at least i should keep it away for a few days cos... i have a 1000words assignment due next week! And other than watching the performance just today, i have nothing else! Wah. die. er. Nitex first. =x

HK Music Camp - Part 1
Was browsing thru my photos to find some with me playing erhu... apparently there wasn't many of those nicely taken... and then i saw the hk music camp photos... and i think i should be in the mood to start blogging abt it. haha! (after like more than a month) =P
Introduction
We (changle, desmond, michelle and i) were in hk from 28/7 to 6/8... out of the 10 days... the camp was only 7 days (29/7 to 4/8) and 5/8 was the concert. we arrived one day earlier than the rest.. and left only one day after the concert.
The Plane Rides...
We were lucky to take SQ flight, the courtesy of SCO. heex. We met at the airport early on 28/7 morning... happily board the plane to take us to hk... there were some problems initially regarding our instruments but eventually it was solved cos the flight wasn't full... and we were even luckier to be on a new plane! the seats, the tv, the table and everything is just so different from usual... Anyway. the main point was.. i watched Confession of Pain on my way there. :) I watch that cos i couldn't find that show in vcd shop for rental... dotx. And on my way back.. watched Paris de Je'taime... but i was so tired i fell asleep. =x due to the late night be4 lah... haha. And only managed to watch one third of Protege.. eh.. should have watched that first... er.. whatever. The food was not bad esp. on our way back. i like the fish and mashed potatoes. heex. And the ice cream! hahaha!
The place we stayed
We stayed at the Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village throughout the 10 days we were there. So unlike the previous batches whereby they get to stay in hotel be4 and after the commencement and end of the camp lah. dotx. Ok.. so basically this place is built on a hill.. so we got to really exercise for the whole 10 days... every place we want to go bound to include some climbing... stairs or slopes.. u choose. then.. imagine. our luggage are ard 20kg and we got to drag/push (whichever way each of us used) up the slopes to get to where we stay. worse still... right after the camp ended whereby everyone else check out and return home except for us... we had to bring our stuff down and put at some place be4 we were given a new room to move to.. which implies we move everything up to the same place again. dotx. super tiring.
That building up there was where we stayed. err... for the girls.. for the guys... can't even see the building in sight.. they were further up.. and really. poor them. for that 7 days.
The route to go back after meals... long slope...
The alternative to go back after meals.. the stairs. quite a long way too..
In the end we found some short cut.. but then didn't take photo of it.
The whole place is actually booked by the camp so there's usually no one else other than the campers... which consisted of Youth Chinese Orchestra, Youth Choir and Junior Strings. total up to abt 300 ppl? Madness right.
The meals..
Very simple meals we have everyday... had our meals with a few strings guys... they are some nice ppl... told us a lot of things.. and taught the 3 of them some easy cantonese since i already knew some of them. Ya... they were all guys... so basically michelle and i were the only girls at the table...
A typical meal we had for the camp. with white rice and soup. they try to provide us with different food everyday lah... the steam egg only appeared the first 2 days we were there... but i like leh. tsk.
But as the days go by.. realised that the food aren't enough for 8guys and 2 girls... dotx. i think too many guys ard already. mic and i didn't even get to eat much after all. cos we were slower.. haha! I think it's always the breakfast that is nicer... with bread lah. corn sauced chicken/pork was one of the favourites too.. :)
Ironically... the best meal we got was outside the campsite... really sumptuous!
Really the best... thou i didn't really had a lot.. i dunno why. they guys had their fill finally i guess.. haha!! Thanks to the manager who brought us there... and thanks hk for treating us. haha! =x
That's all first... i'm tired!!!!
