Da Nian Chu Er

Tonight i'm staying over at my grandma's place coz grandpa went overseas. Becoz here don't have internet connections, so i'm blogging on 'notepad'.

CNY this year is rather different, perhaps becoz i'm older now. For once, my expectations are wrong when it comes to food. On one side, i expected too much.. and on the other, it simply surpassed the benchmark. Haha.. but it doesn't mean that the food isn't great, just that it differs slightly from the previous year. Another thing that changed, the 'market rate' of the red packets.. haha.. it seems that there is a upward trend.. haha.. so i feedback to my parents.. hopefully they get the meaning..

Just yesterday, channel u showed the movie, "a moment to remember".. wah.. although i saw it before with the then witizens (LOL!), i still find the movie very touching.. especially the ending. But watching at home means can shed tears without being paiseh.. muahah..but too bad i watched it before, so not much emotional fluctuations.. But still, it was a very nice movie other than 'the notebook'. Actually i find the "a moment to remember" rather slow paced leh.. haha.. wondered why. It differs from that time when i saw it. Wondered has it got anything to do with age again.

Though already 2nd day of CNY le, but i'm still packing my room.. haha.. it never ends. Dug out a lot of dust, and a large chunk of memories too. I used to think that i'll be stuck with a memory forever, but i was wrong. The moment a new memory enters, the other one will fade.. though it's uncertain which occurs 1st. Yet seeing things that reminds makes me wondered what have i done.. suddenly, it just turned grey. But having done with, it doesn't stays long too. Will it just keeps adding? Hahaha.. surely one day i'll throw away when it have fade off.. yah.. and when the tie with my feelings are undone, and it resumes its status of just an ordinary object. I'm sure that day will come. Changes, can be nice too.

Oops.. haha.. forgot it was supposed to be CNY entry.. haha.. but i only blog once a week leh.. too many things to enter to my journal.. then i got enough things to laugh at myself when i got older mah.. (yah.. visitors can laugh at my childish entry too..=_=)

Nong time never smile until sleep le.. hahaa.. and to think that simple things can make the difference. But then again, status quo perhaps.

Oh.. and since everyone (i mean my peers) is graduating in the coming june (although i always joked that they'll repeat.. haha.. ), it'll more or less create some pressure on me to find a job after i complete my 2.5th year. Haha.. with only 2 modules to go, it would be a complete waste of time to rot at home. I've already nuaed for a year without proper job le, and i'm feeling the stress of the continuous outflow of cash. Argh.. plus, sis is going to the US during may.. and i might want to 'take care' of the vios.. haha.. but of coz, no free lunch. Either i'm able to, or it would be on loan le.. so, i need to plan my finances le. But usually, the salary one gets is highly correlated to the task that one is expected to perform. (risk/skills/stress/time/responsibilty and so on..) Maybe there are those that feel otherwise? I don't know.. but i feel this way.

And then due to the bullish market, everyone is saying how good it is to earn.. hahahahaha.. especially the economist. And when bad things happen, they'll have a totally different explainations.. very li hai.. the 2 head snake. Wait till the bear come out.. then hor hor hor.. tempted to jump in lor.. haha.. but becoz i'm too lazy, i didn't apply any trading account (yet), and so, just talk only, no action.

Bull or bear also nevermind la.. haha.. yesterday at my uncle's place, my cousin showed me her hamster.. whaha.. so cute lor (i mean the hamster).. it was a russian dwarf, and so tiny it was. So gentle it was. I've kept hamsters before.. of which breed i don't know.. haha.. i just went in a pet shop randomly and chose a hamsters randomly.. but my hamster was a aggressive female de, and it killed the male hamster lor.. aiyoh.. so much for trying to find a companion.. i think i just brought a murderer..... But i might go get one after the CNY.. whahaa.. i believe i can take care of others (i mean small pets and small pets only) at this age le.. and of coz, hopefully it brings me away from my comp.. haha..

Ok.. i've been blogging for very long le.. and it's 10.45pm now.. hmm.. what to do liao lei? Hahaha... still early leh.. i usually sleep around 3am de.. haha.. maybe i go and see my laptop can play simi offline games.. lol..

And yah.. gong xi fa cai to all~!

SNCO Debut Concert

Finally done with the concert le.. haha.. can't say its good.. coz really, effort was seen only at the end. But then again, was quite satisfied given the fact that i got to juggle between saturday classes and band. And certain required parts were played.. so i really did. The rest was just beyond me from the beginning.. so wasn't too disappointed with what was not done.

Actually, i think the whole band is just nervous. Hahaha.. for the trained ears, it was perhaps a very horrific experience ba.. even as i was playing, i already can't find a particular pitch to follow.

It was rather messy, i also don't know why.. there is no focal point. But then, it was not difficult to keep time, though the lights were rather glaring.

Anyway, its over le.. time to focus more on studies. But before i left, i heard that there will be another concert in july or so.. whahaa.. clash with exams leh.. and given yesterday's performance, i think i need to prove otherwise.

After these few weeks of practice, got to know a few more friends, and of coz, band starts to be a bit interesting. Just that perhaps the direction is wrong. I guess i need to polish up too.


Taken at the holding area.. lol.. trombonist and me.

Another week to CNY and i've painted my room door while sis did the main door. LOL.. now my room's wall is blue, door also blue..one more week and i have so many things to do.. still haven't done my cny shopping yet.. and then i'm only left with thursday and friday to get things done.

Yay.. i'm looking forward to CNY! Especially the good food at grandma's house.. whaha.. and mj sessions too.. wahh.. bak kua, pineapple tarts... lol.. just one more week.

eRev CMI

And in the end, eRev was another horrific experience for me. Didn't managed to get most of the class and due to clashes of some modules, i could only choose between one or another. What's more.. 3/4 of my UOL classes are on the weekends - alone.

Yet being solo wasn't what i dread.. its having people asking you, "you alone ar?". Like that like very ke lian like that lor.. no, i'm ok so long as nobody notices me. LOL.. sometimes i just like to disappear.. especially now is the warm up period for the exams. Time to go hibernate or something like that. Need to forgo a lot and i think the best is to be paranoid.

LOL.. yet i wasn't. Too 'free' i was, i managed to get the carom board up to a carom table.. whahahahahahaa.. with a $20 leg set from ikea. LOL.. i think i must patent this idea le lor.. whahaha.. all that was left was the drawers and the table top. And suddenly i realised it triples as a study/dinner table as well! Waahaa.. the only thing i worried is the structural integrity of the board.. i don't know.. the wood seem very cheapo like that.



The partial finished table.

And yet again, i can see many giving that kind of 'wth' look... LOL.. DIY for fun, for leisure, for what ever. So long as i keep within budget (minimise cost), maximise utility, i can't see why it won't worth the time and effort. Of coz, dad again, disapprove of me doing this kind of thing. I think whatever i do he also don't approve de. I want to set up account for trading stock he also don't approve, i want to go help out at the chocolate factory he also don't want, i drive he also must comment.. now i know what 'wah lao eh' means. It means everything also my father. LOL.. not that i don't like him or what.. afterall, he had provided me till i was old enough.. i can't thank him enough, yet, i supposed, i don't need buckets after buckets of cold water. Hahaa.. and that was perhaps the strongest driver for my bo liao handycraft.

I think when i graduate, i can go work for bao shua bao hai job le.. Coz these few days at home, i've been doing revamping. Took off paint from my kitchen celling and repainted them, created 2 lamp shades for the living room side lamps, and planing for repainting the doors. What to do? No money to move into new unit, no money to rennovate, then everything got to DIY lor.. whaha.. sian leh. Some of the pioneer batch of installations still refuses to spoil.. for example, the very ugly celling lamp in my room..

Coz of the coming spring and of coz to welcome the pig year, i've been packing my room over and over again.. and sadly, it seems more like a pig sty.

Nowadays tend to sleep late.. i don't know, but my heart races now and then.. argh.. i don't know.. i don't know.. i don't want to know. I don't want to know why it matter so much, but it really did. I hoped i still remember the lesson learnt. But things happened so differently, contary to what i wanted it to be. Haiz.. may i be well for the coming exams ba.. i can't afford to fail again.

I guess the stress had been building up so quickly, like that of the bullish stock market. I had so much to do, though i always 'pretend' to nua.. Other than housekeeping, making some bo liao table, i still got to catch up with my school work and of coz, the coming band concert.

I can't say how much the band concert had stressed me. And i still got parts i need to practice until perfect.. and then, they shoot the concert manager arrow to me.. sigh.. i also don't know what to do lor.. haha.. count chairs and stands? EXCUSE ME.. but i'm not supposed to know who the fish is coming to perform lor. And not that i didn't asked.. but i get all kinds of unsatisfactory replies. As IF i want to do like that.. sigh.

Luckily this coming week is concert day, tickets are availble through me.. hahaha.. free de lor. Lets hoped all be over soon, i don't want to be simi stupid concert manager, neither do i want to stay after that. Just let me fulfill my promise.

We shall see.
