Moving On

Phew~ finally end of the month.. and one month nearer to exams! And i'm still in a holiday mood.. haha.. Haven't be feeling right these few days coz my sis moved out. Gave me a kind of weird feeling. Guess i'm still not used to it. Got affected by a few other things as well..some dated back to five years, so was moody. No matter what.. life goes on, and its time to move on again.

Nothing much happened except that i had much more to do these days. Just got another job offer but had to turn down due to band commitments.. Between passion, friends and money.. had to choose one. So in the end, band was more important.. coz i promised to stay.. but guess i'm not up to it after skipping so many practices.. and the concert is coming.. haiz.

Not My Day~

Enough is enough! sick and tired of typing.. retyped this for the third time.. Guess i shouldn't blog today.

Finally!

Almost a week since i last updated.. was getting quite slack. Actually no.. went working (or was it walking?) for the past two days. It was with Canon and we were promoting the new printers for them. Yet, it was like promoting the trolley.. the whole bunch of us (supposed to be 50) but after a few hours, most went MIA. A grand view indeed! Some thought we were crazy and everywhere we went, onlookers gave up the curious look. Our job scope is to be their walking advertisement and walk around Orchard Road for 8 hours! But it was free and easy.. haha.. so ended up slacking. (oops) Finally, it was over.. yay~!

Yet for this past week, other for the mundane stuffs, something happend.. think coz most were under SRC projects' pressure.. then.. hai hai lor.. Hope everything will be alright in time to come..

Bazaar Argh...

Woke up rather early today, so end up reaching school very early also... think my record ever since i started schooling at SIM. Again, auntie refused to sit with us.. chose to have "er ren shi jie" with her friend.. Halfway through, jiu mei was feeling unwell.. didn't cross my mind that it would be that serious... but after seeing her, it was like she was so pale lor.. but luckily she's alright.

Then came the long awaited SRC Welfare meeting.. didn't prepare for anything lor.. then suay suay kena ic for bazaar. Argh.. jiu mei was hoping that i'll get it, so that i could zap someone.. haha.. juz kidding.. anyway, didn't expect it, so was quite lost. Hmm.. think i will be busy for a while...

Another Bday Celebration~

Went to celebrate Irene's birthday today with the usual G7 from my primary school .. KTV again!! haha.. But for a change, went Singing World instead of K-box. Sang for 4 hours, but doesn't seems to be enough for the six of us.. haha.. maybe we should try the 10 hour marathon instead. But it seems to be quite nice there. All the songs are quite updated and the TV screen is especially big.. overall a nice place. Then we went to Fish n Co. for dinner. They even wanted to watch movie after that ... but didn't feel well, so left early..

Skipped Alumni band practice today due to the clash of events.. Heard that they invited the alumni players of some neighboring schools.. but didn't want to go there to spoil my school's reputation. Haiz.. think i'll have to give tomorrow's band practice a miss too.. coz not feeling well... think all because of the weather..

Warlord's Outing - Wu Ah Ge's Bday!

Wu ah ge's birthday today!! It's been some time since the last "official" Warlords outing. Was supposed to meet at Marina Bay MRT before going for steamboat dinner, but most of the Warlords were late due to classes and consultation. In the end, we only start our dinner at around 8.00 p.m.

Maybe we were too hungry, maybe we were "newbies" there.. so xiao berry, auntie Serene and me went ahead to get the food without paying 1st.. Didn't have the plates and and we were like searching for it... -.-" Ah gong zm went to get some live prawn for us, but Wenli didn't dare to eat.. coz it was ALIVE when we cooked it. Then the rest of us were like quite evil.. keep scaring her. Then we also did some "stunt". The foil at one of our table caught fire while zx was trying to change it.. Was like so happening that everyone looked at us.. haha.. don't know if anyone took pictures of it.

Then the xiao berry and auntie evil ar.. keep telling me that the contact lens will get stuck on the eyeballs if it was too close to the heat and steam.

As usual, don't know why.. people seems to like to approach auntie Serene.. haha.. well, it was actually jiu mei.. but she had bad experience before.. so she "siam" and auntie tio.. Coz a bunch of guys wanted her to help them take photo. So many of them, not even one brought a camera. And think i don't like their attitude also lor.. treat Serene as though she owes them a favor.

The finale~ Birthday song and of coz sabotage!! So zek ark lor... and wu ah ge lost one of his contacts in the piece of confectionery that used to be a cake.. But overall, it was a fun outing.. except that i had to go to school tomorrow..

School Reopens..

3 Days after school reopens, still couldn't adjust back. Had been late for all my morning classes though i set off early. Always jammed at Lornie Road.. Think because of an accident. Not only caught in a jam.. was also caught in the rain for two consecutive days in just three days of school.. so suay..

Tried to go back home to study on Monday, but end up sleeping.. again. Tried again the following day... but went to Bugis instead.. haha.. Ended up never do my IR essay. Well, i never intend to do it anyway ^^v. But have been harping on it since Sunday.. So must do it more or less.. and also, someone keeps bugging =P.. But in the end i only did half of what i'm supposed to do.. a 1500 words essay.. end up i only wrote a page and a half..

Today went off quite late for IR class, coz i knew i won't be late for afternoon lessons.. so as usual, nua a bit at home. Went off early because didn't want to attend the consultation.. if not the 3 hour lecture will become a 5 hour marathon.. haha. But was quite bad because didn't have the right attitude.. the rest went off early to attend Econs consultation... i went off early just to go home.. and sleep maybe..

Zzz

Don't know what happened.. but just couldn't sleep last night.. End up sleeping at around 3 a.m. _ _ Then had to wake up at 7.30 a.m. to get ready to go Tampines for band practice. Tried a new route by bus to get to Tampines today.. coz i won't be driving.... It will be the beginning of having to wake up early on Sunday mornings..

Can't play well today.. maybe not enough sleep.. maybe i was influenced by the "out of tune playing" the day before .. maybe maybe.. My playing was so bad that i didn't enjoy both practices this week.. Both band happened to play the same piece, but with great difference.. Think i don't wish to say anymore

School will be starting tomorrow, and think i have wasted my one week break. Didn't study much. Have to wake up early again to catch the bus.. coz year two and three will be starting school too. And have to take the same bus as NP students.. think i will be late again tomorrow ...

Welfare Outing (East Coast Park)

When it comes to weekend, i'll be very slow in updating my blog... coz weekend end is the time for slacking and outings.. plus i've two band practices to attend...

Just had the first Welfare Department outing the day before at East Coast Park.. and some memories came back. It was only a while ago that things were moving on.. Anyway, things were much different now. Seems like we were having a mini orientation there, with all the games and the OGLs. First game and i got to do forfeit.. haha .. very suay -.-" Had to carry someone through the rocky massage path.. after that, i've been limping slightly.. haha.. think my health quite bad huh... the pain reminds me of my arthritic days... and think i took things for granted. Time to reflect!

Then came a few more games. No matter our group win or lose, i still end up doing the forfeit ... ar.. really very suay.. what forfeit i shall not say... but there are pictures.. -.-" I'm ok with it, so long as everyone have fun. ^^ Finally got to the last game~ beach soccer!! and it is the last game for me as well. Coz i broke a bit of my toe nail kicking the ultra hard ball barefooted, and my toe bled. lol.. used to be this case during college days too coz i didn't cut my toe nails.. haha but played on during tt time.. was wearing shoes and therefore can't see the bleeding toe.

After the games, we had our BBQ. Intended to help to start the fire, but Jasmine was there. Wanted to cook, but there were too many people cooking the food.. and worst of all, we only had a pair of tongs. So nothing to do, except to eat. Stayed at the pit till i have eaten my fill and the Welfare/Warlords began to gather. Not that i don't want to interact with the others, but i had some things on my mind .. so don't quite feel like talking.. perhaps i was tired too.. coz the contact lens were making my eyes very uncomfortable.

Luckily Jasmine bought along some sparkler for us to play with.. haha. For a moment, i forgot how old i was. Kept on burning till we finished quite a number of boxes.. Sitting by the beach, with the breeze, the sound of guitar and the light from the sparkler.. how relaxing.. But some things were just like the sparkler.. haiz..

KTV!!

Went for a 10 hour KTV session last night.. phew.. and spent the rest of the day trying to replenish my energy.. argh.. another day wasted without studying. Was supposed to meet Straw and Berry yesterday evening to place a reservation at K-box first.. thought i was rather late.. coz as usual, nua-ing at home.. bad habit ar.. but the Berry more skillful. Went with Straw to scout out at k-box first as a result. Was supposed to meet berry yun for dinner, but didn't had enough time, so asked her to smuggle nuggets in for us ^^.. but who knows... she bought 40 pieces! hahaaha.. the first time i got scared eating nuggets.. Then as usual, the auntie doesn't want to join us for dinner.. coz it is more economical to eat at home.. so auntie~ haha.. kidding.

The 10 hour marathon started with me and straw, coz the rest were late.. as usual. (another characteristic of Warlords -.-") Didn't realise anything at first. Then begin to wonder why the usually 'hyper' straw started singing all the sad sad songs.. luckily berry yun came, and her 40 pieces of nuggets made us laugh.. if not i won't know what to do..

Couldn't keep awake.. by 3 a.m., i was already feeling sleepy. haha.. then stone stone.. and the rest also stone stone.. except for Jasmine who was extremely hyper.. held her personal "concert" while the rest of us stone.. haha. Finally, the 10 hour "ordeal" was over.. was very tired, but it was quite enjoyable.. except for the side-effects.. think i had sore throat again..

Back Track - Second Draft

This is the second draft... typed one earlier but don't know what happened... couldn't retrive it.. had been quite a while since the last entry because of personal commitments and also a lot of activities during the weekends.

Just had a buffet lunch at my dad's workplace last saturday.. it was great as i had a guest there.. although there were supposed to be more.. two of them "put my aeroplane".. haha.. so, no choice.. had to take some pictures of what we ate and show them.. lol. After lunch was a training class for paparazzi held by jiu mei~.. and my cousins got involved -.-" took quite a few photos and one of them was a picture of the butt of a worker.. hahaha.. think i couldn't publish it online.. lol.

Then had to rush to Pasir Ris to celebrate my primary school friend's birthday.. it was on the way, so jiu mei and i took a cab to the east side.. she had to book BBQ put for the coming Welfare outing, and so she got down first at East Coast Park. Kept asking me the total cab fare so as to share the cost.. but didn't want to tell her... haha.. and she kept bugging me till now.. -.-"

Finally didn't get to the wrong chalet at last.. haha.. always went to the wrong place.. ended wasting on cab fare. Was suprised by the number of people that turned up.. maybe because it was the 21st birthday of my friend.. but didn't know quite a number of them.. saw one of my college friend there but couldn't recognise her initially.. till she told me.. didn't see her quite a while, and she changed a lot. Think it will always be the case.. people will just keep moving on.. time doesn't wait.. so, no use lamenting. Stayed there till quite late before deciding not to stay over.. coz will have to attend band practice the following day.. took bus home from Pasir Ris to Bishan, and as expected, had motion sickness again.. how incovenient without own transport.. maybe will take up bike riding soon.

Reached home late coz the bus route was too long, ended up sleeping late.. and had to wake up early for band practice at Tampines. Although tired, it was more enjoyable in Soka Wind Ensemble than my alma mater's. Though both suffered from the lack of players, it just seems to be different.. perhaps of their direction? Heard that SWE will be having a concert in this coming December.. and it will be my first full concert back with them since World Music Contest 2001. Kind of excited and hopefully i'll be able to deliever.. though it's a bit tough with braces.. Had been trying out parts in the higher register so as increase my range and confidence level.. but eventually, i hope our principle player will be back there to take over the parts... it will be a learning experience to hear him play.

Had not been studying since the begining of the school holidays.. spent too much time at home doing nothing except sleeping, eating and watching tv.. Finally had the chance to go to school to study and at the same time, submit my SIM membership declearation form.. think they lost my photos ... haiz .. had to take photos again.. didn't like it.. coz it always look very awful.. haha. Went to school quite late, coz was at home nua-ing again.. then strawberry yun together with strawberry shan was waiting coz they had lesson today.. ended up spending an hour plus trying to solve a maths problem.. haha.. think my brain getting rusty.. it wasn't long before we realised that it was already six plus.. didn't do much, but it was a fruitful session afterall.

Just overheard my neighbour playing a few songs on the piano.. was suprised much he/she ( never seen before.. haha ) had improved! Just a few months ago, he/she was only a beginner.. now it sounded so different.. was thinking of learning piano together with music theory.. but was too lazy.. found a friend with qualifications to teach me.. but just not ready to start lessons.. really got inspired by my neighbour...

Blank

Too tired and too giddy to think of anything. Long time never had motion sickness and suddenly had two on the same day. Health getting weak nowadays.. had to go Zzz early.

Substituting "Car" for "Kah"

Just found out that my sis will be working from morning till late evening~ argh... then i can't use the car.. still had to go to chalet after tomorrow's lunch and then for band practice the following day. No choice, she had the veto rights.. haha.. luckily my parents each sided with one of us and created a balance of power <- (learnt in IR -.-") Or else they'll be accused of being bias again.. but really felt a bit dissapointed

Had to skip Saturday alumni band practice again.. haha.. but what a relieve! Starting to get kind of boring there. Too few people there and i'm rather unhappy with the kind of management down there.. too "political" for me.. haha.. I think we have a clash of interest here.. and i don't agree with their direction.. if they have one. Think my purpose there is to provide some form of opposition and make their live interesting.. kidding =p .. but starting to think of my existence there.. Used to stay on because i refused to let go.. now that i'm clear, it's time to go.. as soon as i've proved myself.

Thought of studying since i didn't have to go to school today, but ended up sleeping for most of the time.. Kept busy ( as in sleeping ) in order not to let my thoughts wandered too much.. but kind of missed school.. and someone too. Wondered if people at two different ends of the spectrum will ever be together....

A mere coincidence?

Didn't have any lecture today, but went to school anyway. That auntie serene la.. wanted to make her trip to SIM for an half hour meeting "worth" it, so we "shifted" our POB lessons from Friday to Thursday.. so auntie... haha.. oops.. cannot let her see.. if not she won't ask me along next time.. then i'll be alone.

While moving off to the Foodcourt, i saw her again.. wondered why it was so hard to meet when i wanted to.. but now.. ar... everything felt so different.. didn't know how to put it in words.. but we had a chat.. but that's all. Still remembered she agreed that we shouldn't rush things.. ended up i didn't.. and we sure got on with our lives in the new environment.. and it got quite difficult to make time for each other, since we had our own circle of friends.. maybe there might still be time.. had to work hard, let nature take its course and hope everything will be alright.

Meanwhile, need to work hard for my degree, starting from now.. Used to lament about the pass during my college days.. ended up not putting enough effort.. though i pulled through, but couldn't get into local university.. think i don't like that feeling of regret.. everything else can wait.
