Weekend update

A relief that i handed in the first draft already. BUT a bit worried also lah.. cos i didn't think i do well for it. =x Not enough information for the milestone part. Haix!! But nvm.. still got second draft and final submission! Jia you ba. Next draft in slightly more than 1 month. tsk tsk.

Anyway.. what's more impt is i have a presentation coming THURS! And i haven't prepared ANYTHING yet. I think what is wrong with singaporean students is that we are so used to having a fixed template to do everything.. guidelines to tell you what to do and where to focus on... when we get this kinda free-to-do-anything assignment.. it's a true headache. Ok. i have to do this for my arts policy lesson. supposed to link the performance/art/presentation/whatever-you-do to arts and culture, economics, politics or technology in singapore's context. And must combine 2 or more! Omg. Tell me what to do!!

On a lighter note.... IBL was rather relaxing! This week supervisor is back... so more on task and at least i asked what else is there for me to do. :) YEAH! I love this. but sometimes i really dun dare to ask sia. But maybe it will get better. And they are really really nice ppl. At least they didn't disregard me just becos i'm an intern. And they keep joking with ppl ard. how cool. At least the office is not like dead kinda. And I get to join them for the new year lunch privately planned. within the office lah.. everyone enjoyed. And in the end they didn't want the students to pay so much. so i have a very nice and free lunch. :))) And also gave me like 2 school shirts... thou outdated but still cool! Hee. And that's like end of week 3. Glad to hear that they want me to design another 2 posters!! :)

Today (fri) was quite all right... just did some work (thesis draft) and tv. and slept most of the time. So tired that i let my phone snooze for like god-knows-how-long. But i think REALLY long. haha! Every 5min for at least one and half hours before i turn it off and continue sleeping. how great! And then meet some syco peeps for dinner at TM and went to jiawei's house for mj. Yeah!! I won some money! hee. Almost the sole winner. 1 table play money.. the other table play for fun. haha. Happy cos i seldom win when i really gamble. hee. Left like slightly before 11.30pm. came home and send the draft. task done! :)

Tmr Or rather... Later! my cousin (Wanzhen jiejie) will be holding her wedding banquet! :) Immediate cousin that is... Finally another cousin got married. They actually lived in England lah. come back for this wedding lunch only... She's a gynae and i think her husband also doctor lah. must be freaking rich. Finally my 4th uncle has his 2 daughters married.. the first family who has children married. they are like the 2nd and 3rd eldest in the lim side... (my da-jie's the eldest, and not married yet). Oh. Wanzhen-jie is the elder of the 2. Really pretty and smart. Both of them are smart. (if only i know why the rest of them family are like so far behind them). Oh wells. Have to go sleep le anyway.. nights! :))

CNY 2009 part 2

I haven't update for a week again. hee. BUSY!!!! i mean seriously...

At work plus school for the 3 days following the CNY PH. Where got time? Then still have to go for new year visiting the weekends. chiong-ed to my san-yi's house on fri after school lor. then sat go to uncle's house and to horng's house at night. Wii-ed and murderer-ed. We stayed till like 2am. haha. Cabbed home with dj, via and sushi... at least i get my fair share of sleep before going out the next day...

Uncle Yeo's place on sun. i were there for like about 10h!!! omg. Lunch-ed, Wii-ed a bit. but not many kids around. so nv play much. then mahjong-ed with mum and friends. haha. Play small small... but quite fun. Lost money. -.- Mostly dad's money. lol. But i help him win during blackjack wor. Blackjack for his last round as banker. good returns. hee. By the time we finished 2nd 东南西北, it's like 8+ liao. =x Everyone already had their dinner. haha! so eat eat.. talk talk a while. We came back in uncle yeo's new Lexus. omg. cool car.

Ytd was a good day. Get to nap in the afternoon. (that's after i finish the 25 random things in fb) HEE! Went to nus cfa in the morning to talk to mr lum. nice person to talk to.. :) Helpful too. And went to swim in the evening... good workout. cny eat too much le. lol!

CNY 2009 part 1

After 2 full days... i dun really have much energy left... and tmr is work day!!! haix. A bit anticipate... a bit dun feel like going... hahaha! But i'm not that type of person who excuse myself from work cos of reasons like this lah. :)

Anyways... CNY was rather nice... i think i was especially tired this year cos of all the hectic 'exercises' on first day... Wii is really the best entertainment ard... and fits ppl of all ages... i guarantee... haha. It was Wii at my place the whole time the relatives were here. lol.

Morning batch of ppl from mother side are more sporty and enthu and noisy... almost everyone joined in the fun and make a lot of noise... more crazy i would say.. they were joking that we should all stay here to continue the fun instead of going around. but we still moved on lah... just that everyone's a bit tired. haha!

Then night was father side... it's just the 'children' playing... as in ppl of my generation... the uncles and aunts only looked and laughed and commented. haha. At least it's better than what as they deemed as the most horrible activity.. i.e. karaoke. Actually it's not the activity that is horrible.. it's just the ppl who wants to and likes to sing but can't sing well.. So might as well give our ears some rest for this year.. This includes the morning shift as well... =x But after quite a no. of ppl left... 2 uncles decided to give Wii tennis a try.. not bad attempt i would say.. Really bridges the gap of all ages. cool. :)

The best thing is.. after they left.. i was gian-ed of Wii... and i continued playing on my own... and i played till 2am. plus online a while... i actually slept around 3am. But i woke up at 10+ this morning leh.. still VERY tired. in fact i already feel like sleeping at 9pm. I can really tahan.. Will sleep after this post man.

Today is more of usual routine.. so nothing much really... just that i am plain tired after a whole day out... Yea.. luckily i posted abt my first week of IBL already. if not there wun be anymore post on that. cos i dun think i have the time to do it anyway. haha. More IBL, more school, and more visiting!!

For now. it's sleep time! And Happy New (牛) Year everyone. Good luck in ur studies or work for the rest of the year!! :) Nitex.

CNY. here i come. :)

A rather taxing week for me... Lotsa things to do and to attend also.. And i forsee even busier weeks!!! or even... months! haix

SYCO orientation was as usual... HAHA! But at least we have some stuff to joke about. lol. =x And unfortunately... i was part of the joke too... thou not too much. -.- How can?!?! So 没礼貌.. tsktsk...

And tues was also first day of IBL in school's division of student services. The ppl there are really nice! Friendly and easy-going. :) But since it was a half-day.. i didn't do much also... Anyway... pantry drinks not bad... hahaha! =P And ppl in the other depts are nice too! Shared the same office cos DSS only has 3 full-times... and i'm the only intern in that office. :)

Wed was work again... not bad an experience... sat at the counter to use the mac desktop cos mine wasn't ready yet... so attend to all those enquiries too... And seriously... sometimes will really meet some very interesting students... Learnt a lot really..

After work went to meet joyce, hweeming and sis at tamp. hweeming went all the way to tamp to buy DS lite!! lol!! such an addict. hehe. Met joyce at bugis and we went down tgt. dinnered and shopped a while... and sis finally got a pair of shoes.. in that a-lot-of-ppl C&K. super flooded with ppl but service still quite good leh...

Thurs work again... they have cny celebration... and catered food for the staff wor... surprised that they will ask me to go too... cos i was only there for like not even 3 days. haha! but anyways i felt quite awkward -.-''' So i tried to stick to ppl in my dept/office. =P Meet thesis supervisor and had lesson at night... VERY shag.

And yet... fri was a day out. meet up with von again cos she said she got stuff to pass me.. it turns out to be my doraemon comics!!! omg... i totally forgotten about them already. she borrowed it when we were still in jc. i wondered if she still got any with her. lol. anyway.. accompanied her to french medicure, and shop for clothes too. and mission completed! Like finally. lol.

And had to go to school again! A bit sian but the course is quite good actually... get to discuss and hear other ppl's opinion. But there's really very few ppl who attended. what's with the rest of the ppl? i dunno. afterall it's a free course.. and we should be glad to be able to attend it.. so yea. i decided to attend the last session next week. (although at first i was still comtemplating whether to go or not..)

Actually now i also very tired... going to sleep soon... helped to clear some stuff today... i think i just gotta be decisive and throw away more things during normal days... hahaha! room and study room much neater... still have to give my dad the credit for it ba... Finally it's going to be cny. A few days to enjoy... but also a few days to worry. After that it will be 3 full days! I think i'm going crazy already. assignments, presentations, thesis, ibl. And next month. it's all these plus work and syco. I'm crazy to get myself so many things to do... i think mum will think i'm crazy too... but maybe i'll try it out first... might be more effective for my assignments since i only have so little time left. We'll see. :)

Anyways... Happy CNY everyone!! :))) Get more ang pows and eat more goodies. HEE! (anyway... the bak kwa which i queued for the other day is really quite good! Nice. :) Luckily. haha) So happy i got everything ready. haha! First time dun need to worry and dun need to get anything else on the eve. except for ice cream. Haha! Nitex!

Crazy for Bak Gua

The weekend was rather well-spent.. while today... is a total crap. haha.
If you think this is the craziest thing i've done... Today i broke the record...

I waited stood under the hot sun for 5 freaking hours to get this.... RAHH!!!

Too bad i didn't have wireless there.. if not i would have blogged on the spot.. to complain. lol! It's at Kembagan... just opp. the Shell petrol station. Apparently a lot of ppl goes there. And i'm one of them.. under my sis' order.

As if the wait isn't bad enough... there's a uncle behind ranting and ranting over the same thing... It's already annoying enough to be standing under the hot sun the whole time... somemore he repeat the SAME thing! i mean... at least like say different issues still fine. I nearly rolled my eyes. Like everyone's the same... he's not the only one who is waiting so long. but poor him lah... cos he went to buy on his boss' behalf... And he's only a pack for himself since he's there already... So will be more pek chek lah... But still. chill..~ Oh... Anyway.. I was there from 2pm till 7pm. The problem is... The queue wasn't exactly VERY long.. But some ppl bought super alot.. like free ones... and the ppl inside did their job quite slowly too.. so who to blame? So in order not to feel wasted... i bought slightly more than the original plan... since still got money left. Maybe that's what the other ppl think also.. But like what... $570 on bak gua?? I believe that's not the most... just the most i heard when i finally set my foot in the shop. that took me like 4.5h. -.-''' And i haven't tried it yet... wait till i do so... i will tell u if it's worth the queuing.. Anyway... there's still a lot of ppl queuing behind when i left..

Ahh... talking abt uncle ranting... Ytd i was waiting for bus to go orchard from opp. nafa... and there's this uncle who came and started telling everyone (loudly) to vote for the opposition for the next election.. he goes like ‘你一定要投反对党,千万不可以投人民行动党’.. (i'm just quoting what he said) Reason being he's in workers' party or something like that... and he applied to marry a china girl but he was rejected due to the above reason. and say that he has to run for election in order to get the application granted. and blah blah blah... he continues to repeat the same thing over and over again!! I was quite irritated actually. Cos it's YOUR business if you want to be in the opposition party. But what rights do you have to ORDER ppl to vote for whichever party? Then the other uncle who walked past was rather funny.. he said '分钱比较重要'... Which i thought could be quite true too... esp. in this recession time... :) Then i suddenly realise that i'm eligible to vote already! HAHA!

Anyway ytd was spent at uncle's house for lunch... and Hereen's nydc for dinner... plus rochor tau huay after that... Took quite a no. of pictures ba... cos some ppl are bored during dinner... and just keep snapping away.... with a few of my unglam photos -.- But i'm not scared of them!!! Haha! bleahs! Update more when i get the photos... :)

IBL starts tmr! Good luck to myself! :) Bye.

Updating my details, some jia-pa-lang stuff

I realised i haven't updated my details for 2 years!!! haha. It still says i'm in Level 1 and i'm 19. lol!!! And i tried to update my wishlist too... but i can't think of anything else!!! Maybe i'm too fortunate... i seem to have everything i need... just that there are things that i want. Hais. But will man ever be satisfied with what they have? NO! But really... I thought for so long... but couldn't get anyone out at the moment. It's like more of the things i want to do.. not have. Ok lah... i'm 知足 kinda person so i'm already very happy with what i have now... goes to explain the very short and some-very-outdated items still not cleared yet plus a few put-for-fun items. hee.

Glad that i've taken a step out to start my thesis stuff again... and i now have a more decent draft of the survey qns. I hope i still have time for it... And happy to know that i will be starting my IBL next week! Though it wasn't my ideal IBL place... but i'm happy with the arrangement and the schedule i'm given. But it also means i dun have any income for the coming month(s). Whether i will put myself back into the slots or not really depend on my ability to cope with all the things happening.

Plus i have to go SYCO prac. LOL! i think i die liao. And guess what. I think i'm destined to go syco lor... haha!!! Let me say the whole story again... Initially I can't join cos got Research Methods and IBL class on wed night... Then first day of class.. we were told there shouldn't be any RM slots cos we are supposed to meet our thesis supervisor on our own. And IBL class is like cancelled due to the feedback from my whole class. So.. My wed became free and i can go for sect prac = I can join sy!! Then dunno why this year the orientation decided to be on tues... and I have lesson on tues too. But guess what! My lecturer told us today that he got something on next week so class will be postponed = I can go for sy orientation too! HAHAHA!! What a joy. seeing the friends again!!! :)))

Yup. So actually that's all at the moment. I'm hungry due to only eating 1 curry'o from old chang kee and a cup of bubble tea for dinner. and 2 really small slices of kuah lapis and 1 small pineapple tart when i got back. I should sleep.

TMR PIA READINGS!!!!! :)

Sunday, January 11, 2009

:)

Back to update again!! :)

Shan't say anything about school... But anyways... i really hope i can survive this sem... It's really going to be a tough one... And i have to get at least a 2nd upper!!! MUST! If not will be super sian-ed.. But in order to achieve that.. i have to start working hard too!! I've made a step to arrange meet up with my supervisor.. and so it means i really got to work it out. if not meet also no use... and i think i shouldn't drag this further. :) A good start to think this way... but i've got to action! And that will be tmr. HEE.

Anyway... the rest of the things. hopefully can be smooth too... and hope will be able to meet more friends too! hahaha. :)))

That's all.. i'm tired. haven't been sleeping early for the past few days... and no afternoon nap today! =x Somemore er-jie gone to batam for the weekend... so no one left to talk at this hour... might as well just go sleep and see if i can wake up to exercise early in the morning! lol! nitex

Blog read

If u all haven't read his blog yet... i think u missed out a lot... Click HERE to get there... It's actually one of my fav DJ's blog.. ok. ex-DJ (unfortunately).. I really liked his voice.. Nice and clear and accurate. Oops. forget to mention the name. He's 杨君伟. If u are my faithful reader... you should have read my entry about his book... haha. He's really a person with depth and has seen a lot of things. I'm always captivated by the things he wrote... And the way he gives reviews on movies is quite interesting too.. i think he writes for U-weekly if i'm not wrong. Yea... Go explore. :)

Official entry of 2009

Ok.. someone complain i nv update! But seriously leh... too many things to update... too little time and motivation to do so. Hee.

It's already like 5 days into the new year and frankly speaking... All these years I nv really feel anything special abt going into a new year. And this year is very much the same. But i do hope that things will be better this year. For myself, for my family, for my friends, for ppl ard me, for the world. There are still beautiful things around and we should not be dejected by little things (although some could be big).

Yes. I admit that i'm really afraid of what i will be facing when the year starts. I'm not prepared for it at all. I meant my school stuff. But well. 丑媳妇终究是要见家婆的... so i should really 收拾好心情 and face all these challenges. And now i very much believe that when i've gone through all these shit... I would have grown a lot. And at the end of the day.. I still have to depend on myself... I have to be diligent and fight for what i want. I hope everything will work out well.

On a lighter note... I've been through a bit of fun this year already although today is only the 5th day of the year. The weekend was fantastic. Spent the weekends enjoying myself totally. :) Sat was kbox and dinner with the jc clique... it's one of the most 另类 friends i have.. haha! And one of the very few ppl whom do not have anything to do with CO! I really have very few non-CO friends left. haha. and we talked about the funniest things happening to each other. haha.

And sunday was with MCO huqin ppl after my lunch with family. Though it was kinda raining on my way there.. it didn't really come across to me that 'i dun want to go anymore'. Becos i know that those who are there waiting are my friends. I think most ppl did not expect that i would go at first. right? And it's really an afternoon of fun and laughter at ECP. And i think everyone didn't really wanted to leave but kinda no choice too. (they lived too far) haha. Finally i can say that to the mco ppl. lol. More of such outings are appreciated. HEE.

Lunch was good. Dim sum with family at Imperial Treasure at Airport. Food is really nice. But a bit more ex than east ocean. but i think the bill didn't end up very high ba... haha. thanks da-jie for the treat.. she got bonus mah... =P And after ECP met sylvia to shop a while at parkway before meeting yushi for prata... we seriously ordered quite big portion of food ytd. lol! Anyway managed to buy 2 pair of shoes... so yeah... shoe shopping done! :) Now left with clothes.

Anyway.. school starts tmr. No mood =.=

Last day of 2008 and First day of 2009

Finally woke up after sleeping for almost the whole day.. lol. Came back from joel's place abt 11am... (i'm glad i came back in a piece) attempted to sleep but was still feeling quite bad... and family ppl keep coming to disturb me.. no appetite for lunch... but they forced me to wake up and eat.. only ate a little although the food looks nice... went back to sleep on my own bed so that they will not be walking in and out... YEA.. finally. i dedicated the whole afternoon to sleep. only woke up at dinner time. :) Felt better after that!

So the qns is... what time will i sleep tonight? HAHA! Actually i think i'm still quite tired... i think also becos of the monthly affair... it's very late this month so it's not a very nice feeling. argh. Nv used to have this kinda problem.. I think it's the effect of both... wth.

Anyway.. some photos from ytd...
Before countdown... bridge-ing..
We were too lazy to get cups from the kitchen... inside the bowls and saucers was Sprite. lol!
Before the game... everyone was awake and happy!
Anyway... i wasn't really looking forward to the start of this year... partly cos of my school stuff... I was too occupied by other things in dec and i didn't do anything for my school stuff... Now i'm feeling super guilty and helpless so i wished 2009 hasn't come so fast. I think i screwed it all up. I just hope the better will come. my results... my intern and my thesis..
i dun think i want to play it anymore...

X'mas 08

Actually i was totally lazy to blog... partly cos i piled up too many things to blog abt... makes me dunno where to start... then partly i'm lazy as usual... and partly becos of this...


HAHA! Busy trying to level up with the very little time i have at home recently... too bad i can't play it on my phone... hahaha.

Ok.. I'll update a little... SYCO chalet shouldn't be much said anymore... cos everybody already knows Joel's throw face story.. and there's no other news worthy story anymore.. hahaha! Joel aren't u honoured to hear this? You are the limelight! lol.

Christmas Eve was a short (quite) gathering for the jc close friends. William was very nice to invite us over for lunch... And cool.. he got the machine for karaoke at home! My house should get one too... if not all the sound system we already have is going to be a waste soon.. haha. Lunch was cooked by william i think.. Nice and healthy. Yeah! Mahjong-ed a while.. luckily we weren't really gambling.. cos i lost all the rounds... until the last game. -.-

Christmas was even more fun-filled. Twilight-ed with sis at tamp after lunch... My very very blur sister... actually booked tickets for the wrong day... and we didn't realise until a few days later. -.- So when we reached there.. the first thing i noticed was the timing was wrong... it was 1.30pm instead of the 1.40pm she said.. then we went to the collection counter and the lady said there's no record under her ic no. and credit card... so we on the buy the tickets and went in to watch as normal lor... in the end she was checking her email and still claimed that she bought the tickets... And know what.. she booked the tickets for 24th dec! double dotx. HAHA! if it's later still ok right.. at least can go watch.. but past already leh! Means we spent like 30bucks to watch the show. -.- Not worthed. haha!

Then went to daijing's chalet... We were actually quite late... and jan was the first one to reach... haha! that funny girl didn't even rmb our classmate's name -.- And still ask us to guess her name... i was like.. i know her name (doreen) leh.. why need to guess? LOL. Slacked in the room enjoying the aircon while waiting for the rest to come and mean time complete the cards for the 2 girls. Yeah.. cool wor.. but in the end both were a bit crumbled by dj's cousin while they were playing in the room later on. But our fault too.. should have kept it away earlier.

Mini celebration for weiling... with cake and present. Happy she like the pressie wor... she knows what we gonna get for her liao lah... it's what she wants... but dunno what design mah... :) Sing bday song and yada yada before dinner... Food was nice.. her relatives good at bbq-ing wor! hahaha! Cake from royals (for ling) was nice too... we finished the 1kg cake shortly after dinner. lol. chocolate lovers are all around.. lol!

Then up to the room for pressie exchange.. oops... I haven't upload the pictures yet... Ok.. this will come in a later post. =x

Sing bday song and yada yada for daijing after that... cool. she got 2 cakes. one was fresh fruit cake.. and the other was durian cake with santa face as the design... nice design but i just can't make myself eat the cake.. hahaha! Anyways... took quite a no. of pictures with the rest ba... hahaha... with the other sacians who went too... cool. :)

Feel that it's kinda different this year cos of the 21st bday... for at least the past 3 years.. christmas was.. at my humble home... really humble cos my table can't even accommodate all of us... can but very tight lah.. haha! But i'm really glad they nv 嫌弃 my house even thou it looks the same every year and our photos always have the same background. afterall there aren't much space in my house for everyone to stand tgt and take a picture. lol! And this year is more relax!! Cos we dun need to worry for food... for space or for anything else. :) and i dun need to clean up before and after the celebration. HAHA! =P

Anyway.. didn't stay over nor stay late... cos next day was another long day... and thus it should be in another post... So that's all for the moment! =P

ps: at least i blogged! hahaha :)

SYCO Fun!

Had a wonderful weekend. Er.. Minus off some of the practice time.. Haha!

But anyways.. Chalet was fun. :) becos of the gossips for the first night and the games and laughter on the 2nd. But 2nd day was quite a lazing-around day.. Cos other than eating and sleeping.. Nothing much was done. Haha. Some went wild wild wet while i went lunch with zhiwen, dean, yanru, jiawei and xiangle. Went back chalet after that.. Finally the 3 sleep kings and queen woke up.. So it's finally time to sleep again!! Lol. It was really until night time then all gathered again go the chalet for some games.. First was poker. Which i'm not too rich to join in. Lol!! Then the drinking game which ended with a lot of funny stuff till today. Thanks to joel!! Haha.

And of cos.. some SCO concert tix.. some interesting concert themes are coming back! Haha.

Anyway.. work was shag for the past 2 days... TOTALLY! Ytd i left work at 9.30pm and today at 9pm. Sian-ed. And really tiring... esp. ytd cos i didn't even have the chance to go out and get my lunch/dinner even when we have 3 ppl working... until end of work.. sighx. hopefully wun happen again.

And today.. only 2 person most of the time. Even more sian-ed.. but maybe it's a good thing too. =x Auntie on mc... my in-charge msg-ed me this morning and ask me go in earlier... i was a bit mean to ignore it at first... in the end i only went in 30min earlier... but then again.. the most i could was an hour... cos she 9.30 then msg me! auntie best... always got stunt... but well.. she should take care of her health too lah..

Then met yushi for movie... watched BOLT.. quite a last min decision.. cos we ganna pangseh-ed by 2 ppl who went to watch on their own already... so we just go watch lor... And i missed a little of the front part.. cos i was held up by the customer until 9pm! HELLO!! We close at 8pm can! They super buay zi dong one lor.. when she called at 7.20pm i already said we close at 8 and she still got the cheek to say she will come down with her husband now leh! Reached at 8pm... then choose for SOOOOO long... and nv have a conclusion... Er.. and i really can't wait already.. i had to leave... and they were still there. I wondered what was the result... and poor supervisor had to stay to serve them... tsk. Pls lor.. we are NOT obliged to wait for you to come ok.. TSK! So in the end i only left the shop like 8.55pm when the movie timing is 8.50pm! And i have to go all the way from Shaw to Cine. Cool! I half-walk-half-run there in like 10min or so... Cool too! Thanks to them.

But anyway.. whatever it is huh... i today suddenly feel very sad being in the service industry... i think cos i thought abt ytd i couldn't have my break.. and today even when i was having lunch at 3pm.. i wasn't able to have a quiet lunch... And after all these.. we still get very unhappy customers... I tried VERY hard not to roll my eyes when i pick up the phone... Afterall we are talking abt professionalism here... So I guess i could only say that there's no such thing as 'fair' in the world. isn't it? And i truly felt very unhappy. but ok.. I'm fine.

Sorry for the rantings.. i can't help it..

Proud of my friends!

Went to watch a few competitions this year... to support some friends and some just go lor... But in the end i missed all the finals which are supposed to be more exciting and nicer too... The only finals i went was erhu youth.. and i didn't stay inside throughout the whole thing... Reason was i fell sick somehow... and i can't control my coughs... So i'd rather stay away and not distract the participants... Somemore it feels super terrible to try to control them too...


This year.. can say all the Open Cat are very competitive... So many good players and so little chances... i think after all erhu is still the most competitive instru? Increasing of players every NAC. Like super terrible... and when i watched the preliminary round for the youth one... i was really feeling unwell... and 10 江南春色 already almost killed me.. haha!

Anyways... Congrats to my friends who have gotten themselves prizes and money.. haha! I'm proud of you all!! To those who didn't... I'm sure there will be a tit bit of disappointment cos after all i believed everyone put in a lot of effort for this competition... give yourself a pat on your back and say u've already done your best... You all are good players.. dun doubt yourself! :) 还有很长的路要走呢!And I'm proud of u all too... Cos i never had the courage to join competition ever since my first try 'n' years ago.. haha!

Weekend with Family

Thanks for the reminder.. i really haven't updated for like a week.. and there's really a lot to share!!! =x
Attended Haizhen 姑姑's wedding on 6th dec. at CONRAD Hotel.. She's my dad's cousin.. also a Lim.


Food is really good... The very nice shark fin... normally i dun really like eating shark's fin... but this one is really good. Erm.. the rest of the dishes.. got no time to take picture of them lah.. busy eating mah.. hahaha! =x


The cousins... some are not around anyways... and the most left lady is our aunt (姑姑).. and the little boy on Dax's lap is one of the aunt's son... Eh.. hard to explain. hahaha!! But whatever it is... we had a rather good time... :)
The next day was another round of family gathering... Now the mother side... it was 姑婆 and 姑丈's celebration for their 70th birthday.
The adults.. ok.. mostly are adults...
Food wasn't the most comforting thing there... but with the cousins around... the lunch was enjoyable no matter how. haha! And i seriously think we were the noisiest table around... cheering and clapping whenever we have spare time and hands.. Ok.. my idea to keep the atmosphere up during the karaoke session... cannot 冷场 mah... so must clap during the rest melody lor.. HEE.
And my fav cousin.. haha!! Jiaqi.. proud or not? =P
Sums up my family weekend! :)

Weekends whole day out!

Been a rather busy but enjoyable weekend... And ironically, i thought work was much more enjoyable. haha!

It was the usual prac on sat... this week with charmaine instead... we really like taking turns huh... Prac wasn't really bad... but not the best too... I felt that we are not as prepared as we were for the concert 2 years ago... and i can't really figure out what's the problem.. it could be that they started planning much later this time... and i rmb we really had many long saturdays for the last concert... whereas this time practice time is really precious to the whole orchestra. But... i will do my best de lah... somemore this time got 2 gaohu less! like dotx...

Then took laoshi's car down to SCH. Finally i'm not late for the concert... but anyway.. the concert wasn't really up to what i expected.. or rather.. we expected... didn't really understand the wayang song... For 红楼梦... i was only attracted to the first and last song they played... -.- but i really like zhao laoshi's playing... Like no matter under what condition he can always produce the finest sound from his erhu... at least that's what i hear till now... But butterfly lover wasn't as great as i thought it would be... sians... first part already keep speeding... then fast part also speed... Plus i was already super tired... i didn't really have the energy to listen to everything.. haha! Anyway i didn't really like her violin sound... it's VERY soft even thou i'm sitting like super in front.. the sound is only bright when she plays the high notes... at first position... all very soft and kinda muffled. She played encore also! And it's like super obvious the soloist and the orchestra wasn't tgt. DOTX. But still went for the autograph after that.. but could see that most people can't be bothered. -.-

Sunday was work lor... stayed a bit later to finish up some work... then went over to vivo to find yushi... thinking that she can go off at 10pm.. then we can go eat.. in the end.. waited for them to finish packing up everything! And by the time we reached 85 market... it was almost 1am!!! And i was hungry like dunno what already. haha. But the process was quite fun.
