As coisas que pequenas eu v

Removal of what's not important.

2009-03-10T13:38:00.002+08:00

It's been some time since I last typed my email into the sign in space in blogger.com. Time pass so quickly that we sometimes fail to notice things around us, say people who care for us. Sometimes the "I" obscures the vision so much we loose sight of the things that we can be glad for.

A lot has happened throughout the past few years... so much to learn from, remember and to forget. Say, bad memories still floats around quite often. I fear, but I must resign myself from the past. Thus, the thought of removing this blog and to starting afresh basically is the idea!

I can't help but to disconnect myself from a certain group of company. This, which brings me nothing but intense cautiousess in everything I do. This, which has brought nothing but harm to me. Yet, I am determine to forgive and forget... yet forgetting is really hard. So, the best way is to totally disconnect myself off.

I'm sure I'd be able to do it. I pray. I'm sure that everything will come to an end.

SO long!

挂念。盼着。想着。

2009-02-15T23:55:00.003+08:00

當太陽不在升上的是後；當河水不在流;當春夏秋冬不在變劃; 當花草樹木全都掉踩。我還是不能和你分手。你的笑容是我今生最大的收後。如今的我，早以被你密足。和你在一起讓我敢愛，敢盼，敢念。

突讓想起了記句：

天蒼蒼地茫茫你是我永恆的陽光
好想好想和你在一起。
和你一起數天上的星星
收記春天的細雨

謝謝你給我的愛
謝謝你讓我的每一天匆滿了歡樂。。。

Insecurity?

2009-02-11T22:03:00.002+08:00

Uncertainty does get pretty annoying. No, perhaps, intimidating. A lack of trust I would presume? A lack of knowledge might be the choice sentence. Than again, it might be a sought of fear. I wonder why people keep things that are so of the past. It seems like there is sentimental values to it, but that sentimental value factor is that thing that is intimidating.

Sometimes it really makes me think of 'replacement' as the word to describe the entire situation... or perhaps, 'used'. Why, do I not feel 100% safe? Somehow, it is scaring me a little. I might just need to know what I should do. What complications. I really detest the feeling. I am not so keen to do work at present moment. I will just make stupid blunders to it. I think I'd do it in the morning when I am in the right frame of mind. I will be. It's just the passing cloud idea.

Main Study. Mozart. Brahms. Mozart. Brahms

2009-02-05T23:28:00.002+08:00

No. I ain't thinking of it. It's main study lesson in less in a matter of hours. On the bright side, it's yay! 'cause I get to tidy up some mess I think I created in the music. On the darker side, I am TOO tired to be burning CDs for my main study tutor at THIS hour. I think I' d just wake up earlier to do it.
Mozart's concerto has been pretty fun. I never thought I would end up doing some Mozart for school exam, but there is always that little 'I must do it'.

I need the sleep now. I shan't procrastinate of work and sleeping early is kinda good.

That sound. That. That. That.

2009-02-04T16:38:00.003+08:00

Ouch. That sound. That sound that screeches. That sound that haunts the ears, almost like feedback from the speakers. Messiaen. Atonal. Out of pitch. That VIOLIN. No I ain't criticizing. It just intimidates that ear of mine. That sound that blast away without the need of high decibel level. Then, I thank my dear for correcting some grammatical issue that I have, also for adding sentences that are of high thoughts and superiority to my 19 years of wisdom.

And so, that was concert practice 4th Feb. One that I thought could have been much better. That I thought would have scare the wits from two perfect pitch sitting together. We say in unsion, "OUCH" .

That sound. Must diminish! It must be completely driven away. GO!

on a lighter note, We're amazed and surprised. Full of awe to the owner of the sound, for his capability to endure the killing sound. And to his generosity of sharing such 'rare' voice to us.

Forgetting to mention about not blogging.

2009-01-30T20:38:00.004+08:00

Again, procrastination must have set into my entire nervous system. Da blog has been sitting untouch for eons (It's the LAZY traits you see...). On the other hand, it must be just me forgetting to blog. I must have entirely forgotten the existence of this blog. Rather, I think I really did. Haha.

Seriously, I must have been frying my brain cells pretty much this week. It feels so shut off... literally, it feels like my brain's been lagging or something.

Enuff said of my nonsense....

Departure. The Best Solution? Starting afresh the better alternative

2009-01-12T19:27:00.003+08:00

So I reckon, leaving the scene might have the best solution to peace, quiet and serenity. Somehow, it feels really good to be starting afresh :) Somehow, everything has fall into place. I just hope for the best in the future.

Gibbering those thoughts...

2008-12-31T23:00:00.005+08:00

Another year has quickly passed right before my eyes. It seems like a thousand and one thing happened all in a twinkle of an eye. Somehow, it feels like I've just woken up from a terrible nightmare and have been liberated! Somehow, it just feel good. Somehow, i am looking forward for a new year, a new set of resolutions and a new beginning.

It's the 3rd day in singapore since I returned from The Land of Wonders, Cambodia. It is a nation with no lack of tales to speak of. With their many tales to tell, it didn't lack of their learning points. Cambodia has taught me to be more giving and patient. She has also taught be to be more appreciative of life and contentment. 12 days in cambodia really changed my perspective of life. An

I refuse to remember anything of the past which has upset me, made me cringe or perhaps, scared the life out of me. Thus, whatever bad that has happen in the past few years shall be lie garbage thrown into the incinerator. Smiling would be less tiring and perhaps a real joy to be doing so.

I'm glad to be staring off a new year in a totally new way. One which i haven't tried before... that would be a serious spring cleaning. I had been cleaning for 5 hours which did not include washing clothes,ironing folding them, and helping out in the kitchen ( Oliver kindly offered to do steamboat for us. The soup was superb!). Sop got some really nice chocolates for me. Thanks a lot! DAD got us cake from 'awefully chocolate' . That's a lot of sweets but oh wells, it's a sweet way of kicking start a new year!

It's 30mins early from sending well wishes, still, I wish everyone a wonderful new year and I pray that all of you out there will be blessed with a healthy body, good spiritual growth and a happy spirit!

Transitioning

2008-12-08T00:02:00.002+08:00

It's 00:00. It feels like the end of one day and a beginning of a new day. Somehow it feels like being in the middle of a situation so hard to solve.

Mom will be flying in 5 hours and i am really sleepy, but yet, i don't feel like sleeping. Just talking nonsense here.

Waiting

2008-12-04T22:45:00.002+08:00

So i waited...and my mind got too cluttered. Since sitting in front of the lappy wouldn't help, i got out to run a Meridian J... wasn't a good idea. Stomach cramped for no apparent reason. Luckily, the school is really close to home, so i did manage to get back.

Somehow, i got into a blog skin changing mood. Since mom didn't really like the stitch idea, I thought the revamp will be good somehow.

Just drifting...

o amor vai sempre erradamente

2008-12-03T23:17:00.003+08:00

porque é a pessoa mim goste sempre não fazem assim. Porque é que alguma outra pessoa tem que gostar de me preferivelmente.

Saiu com ele hoje. De algum modo, sente ainda como nós temos mil milhas separados. Eu desejo que abriria acima e.Eu sinto realmente não poder assim "dumb" golpear um contrapeso na conversação. Eu amo-o realmente?Eu quero realmente a. Ainda, eu não sei. Eu manter-me-ia em trabalhar. Deve começar em Birmingham. Comece um Esqueça-se dele!!

Should it be that life has taken a turmoil on me or is it me that has too much negative perspective of it. I see people close to me leaving....slowly...one by one... I shouldn't be lamenting. Enough of 'Dido & Aeneas' Perhaps, reading greek mythology is a really bad idea for people like me. Wait, or should i say, it's just me.

I guess, it's time to start busing myself like crazy and do the best for whatever that comes my way.

Changes

2008-11-29T22:47:00.001+08:00

Ohyae...changed the blogskin. Cute huh? Mom didn't agree... Boo...

2008-10-25T23:01:00.002+08:00

Another Sabbath passed right before my eyes.

u estou querendo saber sempre porque eu termino acima de amar you.so que se você for gay? assim o que se você nunca me amar mim querem saber se esperar for de valor...você amar-me-á um dia?

The exams are around the corner or should i say, it is here. It's smack right into my face. Seems so endless...

Mom and Isaac are at Malaysia while i so made life difficult for myself, chose to stay at home and compose. Not too bad though. Seems like I'm ending up in a conversation with Shaun. Haha.

No chamber choir this wednesday. Means, no weekly comedy for me to watch. Been called back to play with the orchestra.

LOL...

Sabbath

2008-10-03T23:24:00.002+08:00

It's been an awfully tiring day. The day started off at 9am with a 2 hours long workshop/masterclass, followed by another hour or so rehearsing with the orchestra, a short break for lunch, more rehearsal with the string section, technical rehearsal, performance, rushed to church for another rehearsal which lasted until 10pm.

I'm so glad it's over for the day. Taking over Ben's turn for pianist duty. That would mean starting the day earlier than days which I'm off duty and get to sleep longer. There's the children's day program to settle and Wei Hong's B'day to attend. Oh ya, Happy B'day Wei Hong!! I suppose your B'day party would be a good break for me!

There's still Sunday to worry about... seems like I've so little time to complete practicing all that I ever need. I wonder when will I be able to finish playing the sonata, the Ballade and the many other things....

Funny, it's pretty fun keeping myself busy somehow or rather. I would quite appreciate a break soon again after the term. Can't wait for the chocolate spree with my cousin after the term!!

Oh and shirley, Strudel!! Tuesday, tuesday, tuesday... see if anyone would like to tag along.
Ivan, if you ever see this post, your Korean is good! Kaleidoscopic was GOOD too. Cheers

Back to work, no! To SLEEP!!

Nite!

2008-10-02T22:49:00.003+08:00

This is a great place to try to type as much as I can and tire myself out when I can't SLEEP.There isn't a limit right? Even if there was one, i don't think I'd get there. haha.

Cool! It's almost the end of the week. Recently, I have been amused by a Korean series entitled "We Got Married". Basically, the producers of the show bring 4 pairs of celebrity couples on camera and their job is to be themselves. Having to be themselves and having the knowledge that they are on national TV, the couples end up facing an irony crisis. Thanks Shirley for the intro!

School has been great so far. Although work seems to be endlessly piling, they would eventually start clearing out. Than a new set comes in, it gets cleared out, another set comes in, it gets cleared out.... ya. Cycle will repeat. (needless to say, but oh well, it can't be help).

It seems like I'm sending a lot of people of this year. Ferran to spain, Amanda to London and Willie to the States. Hoohoo..seems lots of great people are leaving me. Thankfully, technology these days are so amazing, I can't imagine having to live the life with a pigeon delivering messages. Still, it is just not the same.

Back to work!

2008-09-15T09:56:00.002+08:00

and so,life has to continue as it has always been. It's chilly here at United Square's Starbucks.My hands are starting to become less responsive. Probably because I'm sitting under the air-con. Well, it's the only place that has a powerpoint! It's starting to drizzle outside. Can see little ripples on the water landscape created.

So they ask as always, how was your week? They get the usual answer from me. I'm great, I'm fine - I'm always good. There's no point telling any more. It seems to me that that question is just used because there ain't anything better to ask. They don't really care to know. So what if my week has been bad? It really had been awfully bad.

I think I'd still go back to do work. Internet there is much better...

Sentimento virado

2008-09-14T12:01:00.002+08:00

The world is made up of ironies. Without sin there would not have been ironies. Without sin, there won't be the world. People constantly remind us to be ourselves, but how much do they really mean it? Are they even sincere about it? When one decides to do so, it seems to always end up in a struggle to keep up with it without having to 'suite' into the environment.

Posting - The Art of Staying Awake & my other rubbish

2008-09-05T23:56:00.003+08:00

porque eu tenho que amar povos que eu não devo ser. Porque a obrigação ele parece sempre assim dura. Porque a obrigação mim sente sempre inferior.porque a obrigação mim faz as coisas mim odeie. Porque a obrigação mim finge ser quem eu sou. Porque os am mim não aceitado a maneira mim são.

It works. Posting does keep me awake. Though it takes up unnecessary time which will result in having to sleep later. Posting is good. It gives me the opportunity to rant away as much as I want without having to worry whether i bore someone out or not. Takes my mind off work for that moment. Very much like the after effect of chocolate munching. Probably not to the extend where euphoria sets in, but somewhere there i suppose.

I am still not done with the powerpoint. It is driving me completely insane. I am so NOT going to do it next year. Drats, i'm driving myself to the state of sheer boredom by doing this. Constructively speaking (if there ever was such a term), i should be sleeping. Recuperating the mind and body is awesome for maintaining a healthy body.

until than

Convo '08 & some other complains as always

2008-09-03T21:11:00.003+08:00

Conov '08 was fun. Seriously fun. I'm not graduating yet. Just there to help the seniors pin up their robes. I have completely no idea how many robes i have pinned in 30 minutes. The MOE robe is the MOST, absolutely most troublesome robe to do. Was quite a hassle keeping everything in place. The open uni ones are pretty much easier though its colour is a little more serious than the MOE ones.

At least we get to bid our seniors goodbye for the last time. Yes, they will technically still be on this earth, but we won't get to see them so frequently like before. Who knows what lies ahead of us. Didn't get to see dom and candy. Don't know why they decide to give convo a miss. Well, we miss you guys!

Don't put things up that you know will disgrace the society you want to represent. ^.^ I'm seeing lots of egoistic people posting sub standard stuff. Hmm... it's not even like you've a good intention of helping. It's just an ego satisfaction. Seriously, what's the point? You don't make critics happy, professionals will shake their heads in disapproval, students don't learn anything (perhaps, except to remember that they don't need to disgrace themselves.), friends spending time to watch...

Well, it's all about learning i guess.

Yet another day

2008-08-25T23:18:00.002+08:00

It's 11 pm and I'm feeling horrendously sleeping. Our Theatre is finally open for use (only for music students). The stage door in on B2 and to get to the stage one has to walk in a maze just to find your way there.

I'll be rehearsing with SMU string ensemble tomorrow. I wonder how it will turn out to be. Heh.

On the main study issue, my dear polish teacher seemingly is always in a rush to finish as many thing as he possibly can in 1 hour. He gave me one etude to study in 1 week and play for him in class. During class, we finished playing the etude, plus correcting the mistakes in 15 minutes. Than he went on with the concerto and rushed through 4 pages. Including those terrible hemiola passages where your RH can be playing 10 notes in one count and your LH will have to play 8 notes in one count. So that's a ratio of 10:8. That was 35 mins of work. He had to leave early because the office wanted to see him. LOL. Aloy told me he was as rush during his class too. He finished his etude in 10mins! Haha... Wonder what's with the rush rush thing.

Than, I suppose i should be getting some rest before i get into a massive waking up problem tomorrow morning.

ぽおやすみ〜

The One Lesson Day

2008-08-12T21:12:00.003+08:00

We had one class today. Yes, that's right. 1 class only.From 9.30-11.00. Interesting lecture on Impressionism. I did think that eating too much paracemol can cause stomach discomfort.It idid give me a terrible time at class. So, 'clever' me decided to drink up during lesson time... Anyway, I hope my brain did retain some bit of Lindsay's lesson. I was feeling quite terrible and wished that lesson could end that instant i stepped into class. I think he went through some fine artist and writers also.

Here's the pretty picture "Impression. Sunrise" by Claude Oscar Monet used for the opening of his ppt presentation.

It's the Debussy and Ravel day (I guess you musicians out there would have already guessed).

Now, I'm still wondering what I should for classical history. I got Stravinsky to research on and i'm doing Stravinsky too for Classical tutorial too... For Classical tutorial, I've to do 'The Rite of The Spring' and for classical history, I've to choose 1 work that show cases that era and the composer personality, techniques...etc... and I still think that the 'The Rite of the Spring' does most justice for it. I don't wish to repeat. Am considering whether or not I should do 'Oedipus Rex' . Oh well, I'm going to read more than...

Founder's Day

2008-08-11T09:58:00.003+08:00

YAY! I get one day of holiday. Though, i still have to attend piano lesson with Dr Bae at WEST COAST ROAD (I'm only emphasizing that because it's SOOO far away from where i live.). Drats. On the high note, i'm meeting up with Sam, will pass him the goodie bag from school. Well, at i get to meet up with a friend i hardly see around.

Well, i got Mr Arkadiusz Bialak for main study teacher. That means i better start practicing before i get it from him. Now, we all at Lasalle know very well how strict he can be. Good for me, i don't think i dare to laze.

Now...why is she choosing UK too and of all places, King's College! Oh my gosh, I DON'T want to meet her there or see her around at least for the next 2 or more years i decide to study overseas. Ha. She's always following whatever i do eh. Is it sheer coincidence or intentional? Whatever it is. I pray so hard i don't come into contact with her. Study O level music, she also do. Learn 2nd instrument, she also must die die do. My style of playing also let her copy here and there ( well, hear her play, it sounds like the non-improved version of mine). Now, i'm planing on going to UK or Holland and she's thinking of it too?! GO study in Aussie! AND to think, I gave her notes for some subjects and all and she thinks like i'm competing with her. So silly lor, why would i want to compete? Think i so free, got nothing to do ar. Well, at least i'm busy and i mean it really busy. This 10 mins i'm taking to type this nonsense is really unfathomable.

ERR... Okay. I've just went ranting like crazy. I guess it must be just me. Well, this is what happens, when your super close friend betrays you and without a single thought for your feelings, stab you with the most uneven sword ever, pulls it out slowly and laughs at the state you're in. Than, when you start showing the 'not so suang' face, than that friend writes you a super duper LOONg letter stating how she didn't think of it or ever mean it. Now, what should i believe? The actions or the words? God says to forgive. Yae, sure. I certainly do. Though, i still think she's still on it. Ha. Whatever, i think she's just too competitive. i seem like i'm the one, the 'bad guy' cause i complain so much. Yae, i complain that much when someone goes overboard. I don't do that like on anybody yet.

Some people ought to stop putting on a mask. These evil, scheming people really should start thinking if it was ever worth doing things like that to a friend. I could dare say that I've never spoke anything bad about her behind her back, nor have i done anything that would harm her. All i ever did was to care for her. Was that bad? Was it just me acting stupid or what did i really do to deserve things like that. Well, people think i'm the bad one cause she's sooo quiet. It seems like she'd have never said anything nor do anything that would harm me. Heh. Have they never heard, 'the silent dog bites the hardest?' On another note, the empty vessel doesn't always make the most noise.

ARGH, i wish somebody there will understand. That's why i can't take it anymore and have to find a breathing space for myself. The world is sooo corrupted. I believe that there are good people who exist. I don't betray people, i believe there are people who are like me.

Than going for piano class now isn't such a bad idea after all.

Ciaoz

4th Aug, School Begins.

2008-08-04T21:26:00.002+08:00

Another semester at Lasalle. I suddenly wish that time could fly. The anticipation of getting out of school is almost suffocating me.

Things at school did get better for some, or least for many. For myself, it probably didn't. I got sorted into a group of five by a 'magical sorting hat' that apparently sorted me into a group with a senior that is native chinese. Realise, this is Singapore, vernacular language- English. I pray that our translation for technical terms will be palatable, rather understandable. I'm trying to have faith in the group. I sincerely am. The task assign, OH so very avant-garde! Quite troublesome too. It also proves that the school thinks that we're too free and have lots of time to spend on project works. Beneficial or not you ask, I wish i was the electronic 'ask iris' service.

Adding to the pile full of work we already have there's a whole other lot of scores to play. Another 170 pages worth of music was given- to be deciphered over the few weeks we have. Than the orchestra scores for viola is in treble clef THROUGHOUT!. I mean all the way for over 40 pages. Now, i pray SOOO hard i won't forget that I'm NOT in alto clef.

Lots of work...yes... That's fine. It won't hurt. Not a bit. So long i work out my schedule right, i should be fine. The timetable... perhaps not... On one day, there is not a single break in between our classes. From 9am - 7pm. Now, i wonder which superhero goes without a lunch break. They don't fight crime all day...do they? Food, is NOT allowed in classes... Besides the stomach issue, i wonder if my poor brain will still be able to absorb after 3 hours. Will that be wasting time if we are not absorbing because we don't sleep enough or will it be because we have too much information to absorb and no lunch break.

Than, I was treated with a 'pleasant' surprise. My main study tutor had been in class with us from 2pm-4pm conducting a workshop with us. Only after her lesson did I discover that i was to have a change of main study tutor. Reason being, my teacher cannot find time to teach 5 of us. That was really a late discovery.

Know i wonder if i can survive in this situation....

It feels horrible.

The pain...

2008-07-14T22:51:00.002+08:00

Had my wisdom tooth extracted on Friday. It's been 3 days since than, and the pain is still excruciating. To add on to my suffering, i also have two other mouth ulcers. I look really weird with a swollen right cheek. The Dentist gave me 5 packets of medicine in which 2 are antibiotics, 2 are pain killers and the other is for swelling. Those medicine has almost knocked me out entirely for the past few days. I practically slept 15 hours or more in a day.

I've to be at school this wednesday and I don't know if i can recover by than...Pray so!

Than she goes yapping again...

2008-06-12T23:51:00.002+08:00

Ya... I shouldn't be here blogging away. It's almost midnight, I feel sleepy, and I should be in bed. The irony is, I am sitting on the chair with eyes wide open. Must be the late nights over the past few weeks.

The past two weeks was quite an adventure. We ( the pathfinders & adventurers), camped out at Pulau Ubin for 3 nights and 4 days. The sandflies and the mosquitoes sure had a great feast during those days. Our camped out meant tents, not the chalets.
Was quite a tiring camp.

Pulau Ubin sent me back with sunburn and bites. Still had quite some energy to go roller blading after a few days of rest. East Coast park sent me home with abrasions on my right knee, and a twisted foot which swelled quite soon after. The day after my roller blading "expedition", I was than on my way to JB , sofitel resort. A 3 days, 2 night church retreat in a very comfortable environment. Apart from getting around the area, and having to play the keyboard with an injury, I thought the retreat was quite good. The speaker, Ambassador of the Philippines for New Zealand, was an inspiration! Camp ended at noon on sunday. Rushed all the way back for rehearsal with Braddell heights.

With all that hectic weeks since school term ended 'till now, sleeping is quite an issue now.

Off i go!

Clumsy Iris on Roller blades ...

2008-06-05T20:50:00.002+08:00

Went with my desk mate(BHSO) to East Coast Park today. Used Isaac's blades since mine weren't in good condition. His were apparently in quite a bad shape too. It's been donkey years since I really went blading this much. Had a fall cause I was spacing out when my desk mate suddenly called out for me - So clumsy.

Anyway, i felt super tired after blading for roughly 2 hours. Don't know why also. Perhaps is the lack of exercise after a long term MC. Quite surprise that I still could push myself to this much.

Will be going to M'sia for church camp. Friday 'till Sunday. I hope they provide a good keyboard there...

Off to pack...

Celebrating the 1st day of the holiday

2008-04-24T21:59:00.002+08:00

Been practically doing nothing today. Played games, which is rare and watch shows for the entire day. So fun...it's like 10pm now...and I'm already sleepy.. Should be sleeping now!

Nights!

3 hours before exam

2008-04-23T09:06:00.004+08:00

Do you sometimes feel that you're a little out of place?
Or, you just don't understand the conversation that hovers around you?
Perhaps, a slight confusion to what's going on?

No fear! Everyone would feel that some where, some time in their lives.

You can always find something else to entertain yourself.

Bix beiderbecke and Count Basie...What is the DIFFERENCE??!

*Lost in the land of the Classics*

Studying... I mean, I should be

2008-04-22T22:04:00.008+08:00

And so, I conclude another semester in Lasalle College of the Arts as a music major. Some pictures of what on in school over the sem. A long holiday of 3 months awaits me soon after my last paper which is tomorrow...Like...boo...

Dom, level 3 senior doing his presentation on his dissertation for his BA.

Oops...didn't mean for it to be sideways...anyway, this is Shaun, our one and only bassist in the entire school.

Ansley on the piano and Sherenga on vocals. Great jazz pianist and singer!

T'ang Quartet came to visit...

A special team formed to play "In C" during one of our lunchtime concert. Mr Vickery, our HOD on the soprano sax. It's quite blur though...

Marcus, Dominic and I... waiting for our meeting with the Dean to begin...Picture taken by our lovely Evelyn Jie...Classreps do get bored too.

Aloy n me playing piano. No...we are not playing a duet.

Some people think we're cousins >.< That's shirley. Black and white theme...

This is my precious Nobi-Chan! Our class cutie pie...taken before my main study exam

This is my fwend from Hong Kong who stays in Pasir Ris. Yup...rare ones.

Practice and still practicing ....argh

2008-03-30T10:54:00.002+08:00

Ya...I've got like 6 songs in total to practice....sighz...Out of 6 pieces, 1 piece is 1 min 10 sec the rest are more than 10mins each, ..Quite tiring to sit and just practice like as though the world revolves around nothing but the piano and me. So, now i'm trying to digest the entire Tristan and Isolde by Wagner, Boris Godounov, Night on a Bare Mountain by Moussorgski, At least i'm hearing more instruments!! So happy for that! I'm lovin' it...and so, it shall be another day of non stop homework marathon. BOO..!! So,i shall fight my way out again! Wee! It's getting more and more exciting. kick butt time! Watch out for Iris..LOL

Ranting...

2008-03-26T20:23:00.004+08:00

I'm not complaining of loads of homework, being tired or anything about school. I think school is always great since there's a lot to learn in a simple way ( when comparing with the hard knocks of life).

I'm ranting again cause there are people whom I really thought were my friends just showed how 'great' as friends they were. Well, I definitely would say that I really am thankful for people like KH and Evelyn jie. They are really people you can count on and trust. I just feel quite sad to know that all this time that I really put my 100% in loving them as friends turned out to be a disaster.
Well, even though I've gone through that very same phase over and over again (even with the people I grew up with), I'd still continue to put that 100% of love to the people around me. Still be the silly me again. Though, I just won't be able to help them in every way..
Some people really go overboard lor... haiz... putting on the very cheerful side of me can be pretty tiring at times. Sometimes, i really need to take a break and just cry.

Some lecturer wanted to throw my friend and me out of school because during some practice reason being, we stopped for a short while cause my friend lost 2 pages of the music. He said, "if it's not because of our school standard, he'd have done so." HaH! He wants to throw me out ar? Check my qualification before doing so dear lecturer. I dare to say, if he dared to do that, he can prepare to lose plenty of students. Best part, I've never offended that lecturer before. I'm always helping. I'm sure any school mate of mine can testify for me. In fact, we DID NOT talk back nor did we break any rules...I haven't missed any lessons to this day,find me a reason that I can be thrown out of school. For what? I memorize my parts, didn't make any major error...Kick out of school?! right... even if he did. I'll make sure he pays- I'm serious. Iris can be nice, but people that go overboard sure will get if from me. this class rep position has made me more like a maid rather than a rep. Like Devi said "Class Wrap (Chicken Wrap)".I feel stuck and being devoured someday is inevitable. LOL.

i shouldn't be ranting about my school la...cause, I'd get a bad image also... but now knowing what it is really like, as a student, I'd say that there are the black and white sheep. There are great lecturers like Ms Lim and Justin who are understanding and at least they appreciate for the things that you do. Even if it's just marking attendance...

Hmm...I doubt i'd get any sleep tonight...boohoo..

off to work.
(going to beat some marks!)

Sunday (Mr Sun's busy)

2008-03-23T17:37:00.004+08:00

KH, here's a post in english ^.^ Haven't been blogging much...so here's an update...

Cindy called me today!! Wahaha... we spoke on the phone for like 40 plus minutes. Coolness right! Ya...I'm missing her a lot. Though we use to get into arguments quite frequently in primary school , we never stopped loving each other like real sisters.
Had a short conversation about Rubeun. Sighz...I wish it never happened. Sometimes, memories of him will just appear in my mind (esp, when somebody does something that resembles his move)...how I hate that feeling. I thought I would be able to forget the pain, but I'm unable to.

Writing another song for Reuben entitled "Reuben" this is my own memories on him... Everything that I could possibly remember ...
Argh, quite low these days. Work seems like weight I'm forced to carry. Perhaps that the only way I would prevent myself from thinking too much.

On the high note, it's been the 3rd month since I moved back to my dad's church. It's great back at Maranatha. Everybody is always smiling ( I thought i was already the smilie one in school to think I've met my match), laughing, and the atmosphere is much lighter there. I feel so much better after returning to Maranatha. It's a great place to recuperate. So, i've got new job in church too. LOL. Children choir pianist, worship leader ( starting out as a trainee first) and yes, that's like something really new for me, I'm also one of the many youth class teacher and I'd help alternate weeks at the Pathfinders too. Mom was asked to help with the social team. LOL!

I'm also embarking on my Fellowship exam...it's so demanding. Every piece that I play is really really long and difficult. Yes, I'm complaining.

So, I've chosen all my pieces... the last piece is subjected to approval by the board though.

1) Beethoven Sonata - Waldestein ( Complete)
2) Schumman' Fantasie Op 17 (Complete)
3) Dr Jonas Baes - 'A Prior' (subject to approval by the board since it is a recent composition)

I haven't timed my pieces yet. Not sure if they can cover 50-60 mins worth of music. I really hope so, otherwise, i'd have to play more... T.T I'm now studying those pieces with Ms Minhee Bae, a Korean pianist who has just moved to singapore from the states. She's teaching SOTA too. She's a really nice teacher.

Ok... I should get back to work now.

Adieu.

virada...

2008-03-10T18:59:00.002+08:00

Nenhum onde alugar. Nenhum onde gritar. Onde está o amor? Onde posso eu encontrar o calor? sim. É portuguese. Se você for furado bastantes a traduzir. Eu não mencionei que é parte de mim? Quem se importa de qualquer maneira..

Segundo ano na faculdade da música. Agora, eu v somente que tipo se povos que eu estou misturando com. Eu necessito realmente um ombro gritar sobre. Necessidade alguém que me compreende.
¿por qué? por que? (Aprovação nao espanhola.)...

Todos backstabs. Ninguém é realmente um amigo.Como devo eu viver outros dois mais anos com este pessoa? Eu tratei deste tipo dos povos na igreja por os últimos 4 anos. Agora... está repetindo.

Agora...como eu me mantenho sorrir?
Agora...como eu me mantenho amar?
Agora...como eu me mantenho compartilhar?
Agora...como eu me mantenho de ser virado?

Onde estou eu que vou encontrar um confiável do que mim pode confiar com?

Day at home.

2008-01-03T17:53:00.000+08:00

Didn't do very much today. Sat around, watched TV, did some housework...I don't think I did anything else.

During my day spent at home, I have thought of a few resolutions for the year. Yeah, it is a little late. Anyway, I've still got it done.

1) Eat less sweet food. (Refine sugar ain't the thing for me)
2) Practice more on the viola. (Been slacking off it for 10 days)
3) Get good grade for the fellowship exam.
4) Do well in school.
5) Get good results for theory exam.
6) Eat healthily. (Be hardworking to pack lunch and buy only fruits)
7) Wake up early to walk Hoshi, do devotion and get a good shower.

Argh...the piano tuning has been going on for an hour.Earlier on, the piano tuner was worried that one string would snap ( The low G sounded like an Eb. He tried tightening it only to realise that the knob was tight enough to snap the string with the slightest force put on it.) At present moment, the string is fine and the G sounds like a G now. Wahaha...

Back !

2008-01-02T18:22:00.000+08:00

Finally back from an 8 days trip overseas. It was very much decided that we'd visit 3 places in Malaysia. Namely, malacca, genting and Kedah...
...in the end we drove all the way to Alor Star and to first state of Thailand, Sadao (Sawadika!).

The first day was driving the 300++km all the way to genting. We started at 10:00 and reached there at 7pm. Spent most of the time on the road. Dropped by Malacca for lunch. Had Delifrance. It was HORRIBLE. I had WATERY cream pasta, Eliana had big chunks of potato in her pie, Isaac's baked rice was half cold and half hot,and they gave us soda water instead of water. Service was really bad too. Dinner was much better. Ate at our favorite restaurant, Yikee. Watched irobot 'till 12...hee

We spent the 2nd day slacking. Didn't do anything much except to watch movies we bought of the Video shop in Malacca. We watched a war film. "Memphis Belle", a recount of one of the aviation team during WWII. Nice show. Cooked our own lunch. It was really delicious. The vegetables were really fresh of the garden. In the evening,Dad, Isaac and Eliana had a game of badminton. Cooked dinner and watched another war film, "Longest Day". It basically is about the D-day landing where the allies invaded France. Some parts were super comical even though it was a war film.

On the 3rd day we set of for Kedah at around 10am. The journey was LONG. We went past Ipoh, Penang, Langkawi and some other interesting places. On passing Ipoh, the scenery around changed. It was magnificent! Beautiful caves with limestones. The opening was huge. So we could catch glimpse of it. There lots of hills and the stretch of mountains were absolutely breathtaking. The moment we entered the state of Kedah, we were treated to an immensely beautiful landscape. It was basically filled with vast padi fields. It is so vast that it stretches all the way to the horizon in all direction, be it North,South, East or West. No wonder Kedah also known as the "Rice bowl of Malaysia". We reached the main city ( A very sleepy city indeed) at 5 plus. Checked in at Holiday Villa. A very descent 4 star hotel. The hotel is connected to one of the shopping complex. So we took sometime to shop. Nothing much. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant. They were out of many dishes. So I had Chicken rice. The meat was tough and dry. Not appetizing at all. Eliana and Isaac had fried rice which was super duper spicy. Even Isaac had a hard time to finish it all up. Mom had chicken curry. Worse dish ever. It was sour. Dad had beef hor fun which was pretty much watery. After dinner, we rested awhile. Isaac and Eliana went back with Dad. They played on their PSP while dad watched another war film which was screening on the TV. Was about the Peruvian war. Dad couldn't miss it. Mom and me went to the SPA. She had the Royal Malay Message while I had a scrub and flower bath-sheer indulgence.

4th day was more travelling. We drove all the way to Bukit Kayu Hitam, the border between Thailand the Malaysia. Couldn't drive in cause they required our car log book which we didn't know about. So, we walked into Thailand. It's dusty...argh.
Ate at a restaurant. Was really cheap! We ordered a whole sea bass, steamed with plum sauce, 4 fried fish, 1 pot of egg tofu, 1 green vegetable, 3 coconut juice and 1 sprite and it all total up to S$40! The food was really nice too. The thing about the rice was that it was, it was really soft and fluffy- yummz. They have a really nice flavour for the mouth wash, Listerine. It's vanilla mint flavour. I'm trying hard not to drink it down. Haha...

We left Thailand at 4pm and headed all the way back to genting. Was like 400+km...(Singaporeans don't drive that much in a day...) ... had cup corns for dinner...wasn't very hungry. We finally reached genting at 11:30pm....long journey. After my bath, I hit the sack immediately.

The 5th day was slack day again. Did nothing, nothing...and still nothing.

Sabbath was hiking day. It was super warm at 12pm...went to the waterfall in the evening. Didn't take a dip. Caught a cold in the midst of the trip.

Sunday was KL day. Went Times Square. Shopped, shopped and shopped. Bought scores from Borders. Cheaper there.

We left on monday. Reached singapore at 6:30 due to the massive jam at JB.

Will post pictures soon!

Tataaz!

17th Dec. -Break-

2007-12-17T18:10:00.000+08:00

I feel so drained out after a long week of CBS (Character Building School). It has finally come to an end.

This year, out of the 25 children we had. 20 were non-adventist. It was fun yet challenging to be dealing with a wide range of personalities. The camp starts at 7:30am and ends at 12:30. The day than continues with meetings, prep work and the occasional slacking. The day normally ends at 12am that means, each day, we only have 5-6 hours of sleep. The camp ended with a graduation program on saturday which showcased the children's performances and artworks.

Today has been a 'sleep sleep' day for me. Slept 'till 11:30 am. Still feeling relatively sluggish for a rise and shine morning. It did rain as usual in the afternoon which made me feel sleepier... It's already past mid-night now. Off to get some good 'ol rest before the sun rises.

Good night!

7th Dec.

2007-12-07T00:43:00.000+08:00

Whao..it's been super long since i last blogged. Been super busy with school exams and all. Now CBS is in 4 days and i haven't finish with the 'musical'. Eeks...gotta work extra long hours to be sure i can complete it all. How tiring. After the CBS and all, than i can start working on Reuben's music and my dedication to him.

Gotta start finishing the work now..

Reuben's memorial

2007-11-28T18:46:00.000+08:00

The car rode into the carpark of Blk 137.I could hear 'Fairest Lord Jesus' being sung from the inside of the car. I knew that it had to be reality...Reuben's gone.It wasn't surprising as to see the amount of people at the memorial. Reuben must have been touching the hearts of many people. I'm glad to know that he has been loved by many. I walked into the void deck as Pastor Erickson led out with the singing. There were tears in the eyes of many. I couldn't help by to shed a few tears.

When Aunty Patsy talked about Reuben, I couldn't help but to feel terribly upset. The past than unfolded slowly in my mind. I can faintly remember going on a trip with Reuben and Shimona too East Java. Reuben was than 7 , Shimona,10 and I being a toddler of 2 years old. They were than my elder brother and sister. They took care of me and played with me. At 7,Reuben already had that natural instinct of being a protector of the smaller and weaker ones. I can't remember in details...though I wish I could remember more.When I entered first year primary school, I was bullied every now and than. Reuben would than comfort me and be the 'gentle giant'(as what his platoon mates would call him) he is . Whenever I had to wait for my mom and when he was still around, he would sometimes come and keep me company. He was a big brother you could really count on.

I'm now having this super bad headache...Have no idea why...There's this empty feeling in me...I wish it could be gotten rid off.

Dearest Reuben gor gor,
I hope that you're having a good rest now. I know you sleep like a rock...and when its time to wake up, I would be there ^.^ I've grown...no more the small girl with two ponytails you knew than...but, you'd still play with me right? We could play instruments together with JieJie :) you haven't finish recording the song with her yet. You've to write more when you're enough sleep ok?

Exams are over

2007-11-26T17:26:00.001+08:00

Finally the exams are all over. Ever since the news of Reuben's and Jeremy's death were announced, I seem to have lost my mood for everything... Thanks Devi for trying all kinds of methods to cheer me up. Thanks Tuan Hao gor gor for the bubble tea and just being there. Really appreciate. Am composing a song in dedication to Reuben whom was there when I got bullied in primary school. Will miss you Reuben...

Would be at the wake tomorrow... anyone coming along?

Why...

2007-11-25T18:37:00.001+08:00

It's not true right? Reuben's not gone...he isn't... They made a mistake...it ain't him...Someone tell me it is really not him...Why?
He used to play with me when I was still small. He was there when I got bullied. Than...we haven't talk for sometime and now he is gone? I haven't finish the last conversation with him yet!

Faça exame de meus sorrows ausentes

2007-11-20T21:11:00.000+08:00

Finally finish with my main study technical exam. I shall NOT complain about the piano. ^.^ Still working on my written assignments... haven't complete them all yet... I do hope I can complete them soon.Real soon I mean...

It's sometimes good to look at things in an optimistic perspective. Lamenting all day long won't solve your problems. A good cry and some thoughts can take that nasty feelings away. Smile, even if the sun refuses to shine and the flowers forgot to bloom. *iris in deep thoughts*

Sometimes people don't appreciate the things that you do for them. Sometimes people take things for granted the thank you seem to have been taken out of its existence. What ever it may be. I do hope people would learn to cherish the things that they have while their life seems more perfect than they may ever think it is.

Keep Shinning!

Deepavali!

2007-11-08T11:40:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year to all celebrating Deepavali today!

Yesterday was the last night of New Direction festival. It ended with the piece entitled "Tectonic" composed by our dear HOD of music, Mr Lindsay Vickery. I had a pretty much eventful day...haha...

It all started off with getting out of bed at 8am to wash up and to get prepared for what lies ahead. Left house around 10am in order to reach City Hall at 11am. I felt sleep deprived even though I had 8 hours of sleep. I reached the interchange at 10:50am. Tuan Hao came at around 10: 55am. Than we both waited until 12pm for all the rest to reach ^.^ LOL...Tuan Hao was playing games on his phone and singing away.

We headed to Mos burger to grab our lunch. Had a good time chilling out at the same time talking lots and lots of rubbish.

Reached school at 1:30pm. Started rehearsal at 2pm. Ended at 3:30pm. Than we stucked ourselves in G303 for the entire day only heading out at 5:30pm for dinner. I love the chicken rice we had for dinner. Was super good. Around 7 plus we went to watch Tim's concert. Gena and me ended up sticking ourselves in the Tech Theatre Arts room. LOL.
Everything ended around 10pm. I tidied up the room while the rest went down to clear up the mess at the green. Dad drove Mitsubishi Lancer last night. I was surprised. Haha... Super low la the car..

Off to work now..

Stuck in school

2007-11-07T15:59:00.000+08:00

Although it's suppose to be a half day, I'm still in school rehearsing for tonight's concert at 8:30pm. I about to
fall asleep in the classroom...*Yawn* Tired as I am, I must strive to carry on each day. Perhaps things will turn out well^.^

No Lesson Day

2007-11-02T09:18:00.000+08:00

Just got home from school. It's been raining...I'm lovin' it. It's the end of another week. Time flies. The next week would be an exciting week. It's New Direction Festival! A series of concerts that we'd be doing at school. Probably won't have time to update much.

Anyway,I had a pretty great day yesterday.

Went to school early for Aural class, followed by more history lesson with Sensei and a series of more presentation at pedagogy class. All those lessons ended at 3pm. Half the class went for lunch with Sensei. It was a quite fun taking bus 65 to Orchard, making noise and eating together. While eating, we realized that we couldn't make it back in time for Mr Tan's lesson. So, I decided to sms him to inform him that we'd be late (Aloysius kindly typed the message). His reply was quite surprising..." It's okay. Thanks for informing. I'l take my time to drive down." Cute huh.Class ended at 6:30 and I was late for rehearsal at NYP. Took a cab down which took 30mins to reach. Everything ended at 10:00pm. Had dinner at 11pm and slept at 12.

Gotta go..
adious

わかた！

2007-10-24T22:59:00.000+08:00

sendo sad

2007-10-23T22:10:00.000+08:00

amá-lo não é fácil. Competiting com seus amigo e você bons que são um gay. Porque faz isto têm que acontecer... porque... eu devo aprender se esquecer AGORA d!

Facing the computer screen, staring into this one-eye monster, I wonder how a day could pass that fast.. It had been another day sitting in the classroom, playing piano, listening to lectures...and almost everything else an average student would be doing.Feeling a little low recently. It's probably the outcome of being alone so frequently - musicians. I seriously wonder how long I can keep up with smiling everyday, being cheery and never in a foul mood at school.

Let the Rain pour

2007-10-22T23:24:00.000+08:00

Another has passed. The monsoon season has arrive....it is a little late.
Sometimes I wonder to myself if I am living in a completely different world from others. The way things are around me doesn't reflect the way I lived for so many years. It scares me to know that the world is not the bright and cheery home. Yet, trying my utmost best never to frown at each upsetting incidents, I still feel the inner most desire to believe that the world is what I think it is.

I know I've been lamenting over the weeks on this blog. It's probably the other place I would complain...perhaps the only.

School is fine and so is church, It's just human nature - neither environment would I complain about. It's past 11, pretty past my bedtime. Tired as I am, I decided to blog out of sheer mental incapability to contain the train of thoughts I've been thinking.

Until than...

Making errors in life

2007-10-19T17:28:00.000+08:00

I'm so sorry I had to scare some of my friends today. I didn't mean it...I just couldn't control it any more. Smiling each day takes a lot of effort when things aren't just right. I couldn't do it today.

Had an eventful day rehearsing in the morning with the orchestra. We performed on the green patches at 12pm. It was breezy and all...so you could see scores flying around.

it would have had been better to see you smile...In my dreamy world.....Yes...i'm living too much in my dreams and fantasy. Bring me back to reality......

The day I became a logistic personnel

2007-10-17T22:04:00.000+08:00

i ain't complaining. It's time I took a break and a short breather. It had been a long day wrestling with cold and hard chairs. Carrying them around school proves to be harder that what it really seems. Tomorrow would soon come. It is again pack with lessons, marking attendance, rehearsing and talking nonsense.

It's been a seemingly endless day at school. While sitting in for the level 3 dissertation presentation, some random thoughts sprouted in my mind...
My stand on what a musician is is not the legitimate and concise meaning Oxford team of Lexicographers would write in the dictionaries. Musicians are people with an overwhelming love for music, chooses a higher learning institution which offers music be it conservatory, academy, university , cares for the safety of the instruments when they are being shift around...I am not done. I will carry on my 'dissertation' on what a musician is. Perhaps to a greater detail - what Lasalle's music students are.
I probably would have more nonsense to sprout in the coming days.

Talking about nonsense, my senior has came out with the ultimate solution why the 3 classical class representatives were selected. Taking the first letter to our first names out, D- ominic , I -ris, E -velyn. That would equate to D-I -E.

I think it's time I stop my fingers from typing too much unnecessary rubbish and go back to homework.

5th Oct

2007-10-05T09:47:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gena and Shane!

Yep, it's 5th of October. It's another beautiful morning...yet I feel so worn out. So tired. Got a huge pack of Hershley's Kisses on my desk. A belated present from two classmates at school...I'm suddenly brought back with memories of my PSLE days where I had M&Ms, and sweets on my desk at school. So nostalgic.

I need to take more pictures. Yep. More pictures. I'd be out tonight, conducting a small ensemble at church. I should have gain sufficient energy to power up and give it my best shot for the practice session.

School has been going crazier than I though it would. Level 1 studies proofs to be much more demanding than the Foundation level. Although, we were expected to study many subjects that weren't very much related to our main focus, it still was pretty much relax. I miss the days banging my way on the Gamelan instruments. Esp the Bonangs. I miss my academic writing group buddies... ah..Now, it seems like the faculty people who once used to be together are now in their own world...Music, Dance and Theatre...

Okay Okay..I shan't lament any further...

TIme to get a grip of myself

Adious...

I'm suppose to be doing some work...but I'm so tired to be thinking much. So, i did a quiz. You can check it out..

This is what i got...

your distinct personality, The Dreamer-Minstrel might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You can always see the "Silver Lining" to every dark and dreary cloud. Look at the bright side is your motto and understanding why everything happens for the best is your goal. You are the positive optimist of the world who provides the hope for all humankind. There is nothing so terrible that you can not find some good within it. On the positive side, you are spontaneous, charismatic, idealistic and empathic. On the negative side, you may be a sentimental dreamer who is emotionally impractical. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

2007-10-02T18:19:00.000+08:00

Still tired... Just woke up from a 2 hours long nap.

There's so much to do even it is the holiday. I think I've been procrastinating a little too much. Got to start doing work again before I lose touch with it.

Off to shower...

1st Oct - Happy Children's Day!

2007-10-01T16:09:00.000+08:00

A very happy children's day to all young at heart.

Got a new make over for my blog. My brother did it for me. pretty eh? I think it's nice. He selected it all for me. Love it. Thanks bro!

Hmm..I still can't really talk. Got to face the fact that I'd be such a trouble for a few days. I hope it goes soon. I want to talk again. Need a good break. It's tiring trying to keep with with school work and a sick me.

Do hope everything will go will for each and everyone out there..

Sabbath

2007-09-29T18:32:00.000+08:00

It's half and hour before the sun sets completely. Another Sabbath would soon come to an end. Meaning, my new week will begin shortly... and the fast pace, hectic schedule, late night practice...would all come back. When would this vicious cycle end? It's musique! NOT computer studies. It's passion.. not competition. Passion..ya right...

Lately, i did a composition for Philip Tan's composition class. Now he wants me to revamp my piece and do a musical out of it. I didn't want to do a musical. Asked for permission to do a dance music instead. He said yes! Boyz, am i glad. Means, i can start choreographing again. Trev said he would help me with it. Thanks Trev! I can't wait to finish the dance and see how it goes.

Now i'm gonna start mulling over the fact that I've got a serious sore throat and I am unable to talk.It's like,i practically don't have my voice. Pardon my complains...but... Boo...! So sorry to those who have called me and have been ignored. You see, i didn't want to hang up ( since it would be very rude to do so) and I can't talk...sigh...

Off i go

27th - 어리석은 일

2007-09-27T20:34:00.000+08:00

I promised a friend to blog today and so shall Il...

... it's a rainy rainy day today. The school has serve nature well collecting some rain in the campus.

My day (at least) started with Aural class at 10:30 in the morning. At 10:25, there were less than 10 people in the room and people are still slowly streaming in.Nightmare lesson with solfege.

Conversation below:

Jansen: (Looks at me) Class rep? ( Flags his hand indicating for me to come over)
Me : Yup?
Jansen : Ms Mona says there won't be any lesson today.
Me: WHy?
Jansen: Cause Permagnus crashed into the glass panel and apparently the injury has gotten quite bad. So Ms Mona is taking him to the hospital.
Me : !! Serious.

So the entire class was stunned. Library for all level 1s!!

Gena had this expression --> -.-"

So...my nice jiejie, gorgor and me went to Kin Hang's school to finish some recording. When Gena and Charlie sees each other....

.... you'd probaly want to get some ear plugs.

1 silly convo...

me: I heard, if two person frequently squabble,they might end up marrying each other.
jiejie: (Pats Charlie's shoulder) I shall be nice to you from now. I don't want to marry you
gor: I also don't want to marry you.

The entire trip squabble was almost just 'focused' on one thing.Trying to prove that they aren't ah beng/ ah lian and to prove that the other is.

*yawn* i'm so so tired now. Shall go get some rest before starting the hectic schedule again.

Cheerios and Cookies to all those taking O level, A levels and those doing their essays!

2007-09-11T18:41:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since I last typed an entry.I've been having too much to do recently. Sometimes, I wish that time would just freeze and let me have the rest i seriously need. I wonder if its reasonable for me to complain of the work load and things that happen around me. There must be people around me that have have a heavier pile of work to complete, numerous deadlines, countless of problems...yet, there are that few that are still able to be optimistic and carry on their daily routine. Although they say that its all in the mind-'its easier to say than to do'.

The pace in the city is really fast. Every minute counts and it's not to be lost. Recently someone told me,"15 minutes makes a lot of different. I can have an extra 15 minutes of sleep". How true.That's realism in a cosmopolitan city.

Off to be the student I am now...

11th June 2007 - Back from camp

2007-06-10T21:10:00.000+08:00

MAINLAND SINGAPORE!!
Oh gosh, how i miss the island with plenty of water to drink.
I had Tiffany and Eliana as roomates for the three nights and two days camp. I enjoyed the stay with them.Hope they didn't mind me being such a nag in the room- clean freak. Get it? LOL. Each room has small electrical kettle to boil water with. Mann..our room one is totally freaky. It's 'internal organs' are rusty and all. Thinking it was pretty much 'normal' i got myself a cup to drink, and the water turned out sour! EWw...it was the instant love hate situation betwen me and that electrical kettle.

7th June (thursday)-
Rushed down from NAFA at 5pm. Participated in the Singapore Piano Pedagogy Symposium. So, wasn't able to meet up with the club at 11:45am.Met up with William, Dad, aunty Annie and Jerome. We had Nasi Lemak before heading off. The boatman said we have to wait for 12 people to board before they will take us there. Sighz, we waited and waited...but no sign of any others who wants to go over.We ended up having to pay for the extras including an extra charge for taking us to MCC directly. Total cost for 5 people was $40.LOL. Reached there around 7-8pm. Met a cute dog. Dad named him Waggy. Alden came to meet us and took as to meet the rest.While William and me weren't at camp yet, thanks to godma, things with the Adventurers turned out fine ^^. She taught them first aid helper. Woots! Thanks godma!! We did stars honour at night. Star gazing at Pulau Ubin is much better. The sky is much clearer since there is not much uneccessary lights.

8th June (friday)-
Woke up at 6:50am . Washed up and got the girls ready. Set off for a long day at camp.For the Adventurers, we did art, troubodour and build and fly all in a day ^^ Pretty cool eh. Seriously a tiring day. We had this 'super' amazing race.Game masters: my two brothers, Chuen Rong and Jerome. Whooa...It was really 2.4km lor.Quite fun though. The best part, after the entire super long walk/run, (yes we had dinner first) we walk that 2.4km long route back to the resort! 4.8km hike in a day.
Slept round 12:30.This is what we did in our room while waiting for our hair to dry.

LOL...really nothing better to do.

9th June(Saturday)-

Sabbath! We did divine worhsip outdoors! pretty cool. feels so different. We had a great time at worship. Program was followed by a long 3 plus hours of tree honour session. Pretty fun though. Next in line to our program was campfire. Yes our group led by Rachel named ourselves Jajablings. Some Starwas fanatics lol.We did some advertistment about lightsticks using starwars as the main theme. Hoohoo..imgaine starswars characters using lightsticks instead of lightsabre to fight.Haha.
The campfire was great ^^ It was a pretty fire. Thanks William and my brothers for suffering the intense heat just to get it done. Lots of thanks to William who never gave up on that 1% . His sheer determination beats the impossible. Walked all the way back to campsite. Thanks Hydon for coming back with the bike ^^

10th June (Sunday)-
Finale...
*clap loudly* suggestng an encore. haha. It was a great camp leaving us with fond memories. Called the pack pack time, we got ready and left the campsite. Arrived at punggol ferry point at around 12pm. Got home. Got pizza delieverd for lunch..went to see a chinese doctor for some injuries that i wasn't half botherd about during camp. Started blogging at night..was too tired to finish...Bingo! I'm done ...

Until than..

24th May - Thursday

2007-05-24T11:19:00.000+08:00

Took this picture early this year at KL. The structure of the Mosque is really well designed. It's age old ya.
Above is the restaurant the the Bird park we at ate. Yes, it's pretty cruel to be eating chicken in front of the birds. There's an unenclose area for dinners who prefer to dine with the birds.

Back to practice...

17th May 2007 - Thursday

2007-05-17T15:52:00.000+08:00

Taught Eyoven yesterday. He gave me a pink smiley face sticker. Haha. So, i stuck it to my laptop charger. He made great improvement from the previous week. Eyoven's mum bought us ham from the market place, Raffles. Today's Belle's turn. Her exam is coming soon. So, have to polish those scales and pieces up. I think she'd do fine. I hoping for a distinction from her.

The school's library has told Yun Ping that we can start helping at the library from June. Yes, it's the moving to the new campus packing. It's gonna be real fun ^.^

Can't wait for monday. I wanna go down to the Esplanade library to get more CDs ^.^ Am thinking of any new place to visit on my way to the library. Suggestion? ( I know i should be practising. I need a breather too)

Ya...back to practice now.

*poof*

14th May 2007- Sluggish Day

2007-05-14T20:23:00.000+08:00

Woke up feeling relatively sluggish today. I have no ideal why too. Don't bother asking. Went to esplanade library this morning, thought I should pay Aunt Shirely a visit, so i dropped by her shop at Raffles City with a bottle of Sesamene Crepe from Bread Talk.Chatted awhile with her before making my way to the library. Rushed to Orchard, Meridian shopping Centre to register for the pedagogy seminar than went back to school. Saw aniki! Yae!! haha. William brought me to the control room. Whoa...new discovery for the day... doing sound and lighting ain't easy at all. It requires lots and lots of work...Thank you so much William ^.^ Now i got the the partita^.^ It really really helps.

Watched The Phatom of the Opera on saturday. The props were totally amazing! The vocalist weren't as impressive though. Going to watch paper concerto with my dear god brother Kin Hang ^.^ Thanks for booking boy!

*yawn*..i'm off to bed ...
nite

10th May 2007 - After a long day

2007-05-10T21:14:00.001+08:00

Practiced one song for the entire day. Beethoven's Sonata "the tempest"..Finished the 1st movtment and still not done.
Tomorrow is the Italian concerto day. Will take the whole of tomorrow to practice that.

Went to teach at 6pm. Had a lot of fun teaching this 6 years old child who is playing grade 1 piano. She's really a bright child. Very intellgent. I tested her on broken chords and did it randomly. I left one out and ask her which one i missed. Without hesitation, she said " F major". She's really dilligent too. Last week, I made her practice with a coin on her hand so as to train her fingers to achieve individual strenght without depanding on her forearm for strength. She couldn't do it last week and surprised me today with the ability to play through the scales without letting the coin drop- she practiced hard. She's such a sweet girl too. ^.^

Simon said the Play Video symphony tickets have been sold out :( Surprisingly, William is due for NS the day before. So, we all can't watch it one way or another. Sorry bro Kin Hang..may not be able to go for that one...

Off i go for now

10th May 2007 - Complain

2007-05-10T10:54:00.001+08:00

Ah... been practicing piano as though i've nothing else to do. The Beethoven Sonata is 21 pages long... JS Bach Italian Concerto is 18 pages long. Thank God Debussy prelude is only 4 page...That's not the end. There's one more song coming my way.*yawn* Like how much more do i need to play?

I had Candy Jie and Raymond at my house from 8 plus until 2:30am in the morning today. LoL. Practiced hard for Candy Jie's exam this morning at 9am. All 3 of us went super hyper at around 1am for no apparent reason.I wonder if it was stress or the ginseng tea. Went home straight after exam...slept from 11am until 1:30pm. It still wasn't enough. Did some cooking, had lunch and went back to sleep again. Slept 'till 6pm. Washed up, got ready to teach. New student today ^.^ So cute laa! 5 years old girl doing her grade 1 piano. Very bright girl. Had fun teaching her.

Should be practicing now...but I'm too tired.LOL...I think I will just slack off a little. Hee...
Tomorrow's theme is white and black though Aniki prefers if we could just wear white. I'm sooo happy.I'll wear all white tomorrow. I am sick and tired of black. I've been wearing black almost for two whole weeks. Why can't pianist and all other classical musicians wear something else other than black... -.-"

Type again sometime soon I hope...

14th April- Downside of life.

2007-04-14T22:06:00.001+08:00

So much to cry over the past few days. So much to complain and so much hate. Yet, life goes on...Thanks Willie, yes, all will come to pass. It will. God, you promise right? I believe ... Please than get rid of the hurt now...?

Life has its ups and downs..

Had a good time with Hydon, Tedmund, Sophraine, Stacia and 'aunite' ( Uncle Lim Eng) who took us on a car ride to some church member's house to pass her some clothes for the people in Sri Lanka, went to IMH, LOL..Seletar Air Base and Jalan Kayu to find prata..

Looking at the planes soaring in the sky makes me feel a bit better.Seletar is so quiet, so calming...Wish i could stay longer in that serenity.

Back to work...

9th April - what do i say?

2007-04-09T22:21:00.000+08:00

I'm tired...haven't finish Mr Frank homework-chromatic alteration...how sad can that get.
Have fusion practice, main study and theory lesson all in one row from 9am onwards...Sighz.. I'm going to be dead beat by the end of tomorrow.

08th April- 'gamer' wannabe

2007-04-08T13:27:00.000+08:00

Play Lilo and Stitch 625 Sandwish Snacker

Try this game out ^.^ It's cute.

24th March- yawn

2007-03-24T22:04:00.000+08:00

Wanted to go sleep. In the end i couldn't. So decided to email the Arts management group and visit my blog. Realize that I haven't write for almost two weeks. It had to be two hectic weeks- seriously. Had improper meals, bad sleeping hours, practically my physical welfare was at stake. Haha. Suffering from some back pain again. Must be proffesion hazard plus the old injury. Wish it didn't have to come back.

Today, i went out with the early teens to bukit timah. Had a quiz, lesson and lunch there. Quite a good change of environment for a saturday. Came back to church for Adventurers. Only 4 kids came today! Sad...We did courtesy today. It's quite amazing how these kids found manners fascinating.

Me: If i were to borrow Tedmund's Bible, what should I say?
Kid 1: *fractically waves her hand* I know!! Please may i borrow your Bible?
Me: Right, the proper way of phrasing it is May i borrow your Bible please?
Kid 1: *turns to another kid* may I borrow your Bible please?
Kid 2: *smiles wildly* Sure!!

So cute...

Hmmm...getting tired now.....
off to bed!

14th March- stay home day

2007-03-14T16:35:00.000+08:00

Realize that there's so much to do and time seems to be too short. That's why, life is so short, live life to its fulless.

There's no fusion orchestra today. One week break i heard. Resume next week. Strings is close for the semester too. Lasalle is finally relocating to its new premises. We'd be there in the next semester. I hope that would be real soon. I'd miss the old campus though.

Nothing much today.

Logging off.

2007-03-11T22:46:00.001+08:00

March 10th - In silent contemplation...

2007-03-10T22:46:00.000+08:00

Piano teacher ask me to sign up for the upcoming young musician competition. Not sure if I should do it. Will face lots of better pianist. Will ask God.

Had an interesting day with the kids at adventurer's Club. Today we did courtesy and the adventurer's pledge and law. Few lessons I thought we could learn from these kids.

Me: " What is to be kind?"
Kid: " It means when somebody hits you or make you angry you must not get angry."

Lesson 1- To forgive is to be kind. Kindness can bring smile across many people faces.

Me:" What is to be obedient?"
kid:" When the teacher, or mother or father or, any people ask you the to do something, you must do the thing. You cannot say, I don't want to do or I'm tired or, ask somebody else."

Lesson 2- Ya. It doesn't mean that we only obey our parents but also the higher authority like how the kid got the teacher into the picture. However, not everything they say may be right-human error.

Me: " What is to be attentive?"
Kid : " It is to listen to the teacher when he/she talks. Otherwise, you'd get an F. You cannot get an A if you don't listen. If you had an A and you start not to listen to your teacher, your A will become a C and than a D and than an F!!"

Lesson 3- Some times we fail to listen to God still voice. "My people die of lack of knowledge" The Bible is one of our source to the knowledge. God still voice is another.

Comment:kids are learning the importance of good academic results. Some are even taking it really hard. I hope they don't neglect their given talent for the academic.

We can all learn from kids. Listen to them.

In silent contemplation...

Internet was down for the past few days. We switched from Starhub to Singtel's MIO. So, Starhub cut of the broadband one week before the singtel one came.Mom says that the modem is big and ugly. -.-" Errr....but the internet speed is good and its wireless is superb. The modem is in thd study and when going into either Isaac's or my room, you still get at least 98% or 99% of the signal. YAY!

Having study break now. So, i've got more time to work on my academic. Yesterday went to visit Ivan's house ^.^ Watched the Phantom of the Opera.It's nice...very nice. the boys stuck themselves to the computers. HAHA ...don't know what they're playing though. Had to leave early to buy lunch for mom and Isaac. So, didn't stay for lunch. At 5pm had piano lessons, played all my pieces and suffered with that super soft keys piano. Talked to my teacher for like 15mins on what songs to play for LLRSM or LLCM. Most likely LLRSM . She said one of the choice should be JS BACH Partita and the other should be from Scarlatti. Oh man... don't like them. Too bad. Have to play since she insist. :(

Got to go for now.

15.02.07 - All things bright and beautiful...

2007-02-15T10:41:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was valentines. Thanks to those people who had made it such a memorable day for me.
Won't elaborate on it. Afterwards, some people will complain that I'm 'haolianing' (they're probably more jealous than they think I am.)Currently got two huge balloons 'flying' around the room. They gave me an incredible morning greeting today. They bump into my face -.-" Thanks Isaac Sr.

Sighz, got to practice with another fusion group today. Was ask to play for them.The world music team. I hope i can figure out the chords for that particular Indian song. It's got so much melodic decoration...

Accompanying Guo Yang for exam, don't even know when i'd be free enough to practice with him.Sighz. Raymond from PRCS ask me to accompany his student for her grade 3 ABRSM violin practical. I wonder what her standard is ^.^ Be delighted to find out. Haha.

Will be a long day today... Choir ends at 7:30. Hope Adrian doesn't decide to end 1 hour earlier.Haha. Otherwise,I'll have to take the public transport again =( The crowd ....haiz.

13.02.07 - Going Looney...

2007-02-13T21:51:00.000+08:00

Haven't got to blog much recently. Didn't have much time to even turn the computer on. It has been quite a day.

10 Reasons for me to go looney...

1)Went for main study and had a 'very good' lecture on why my expression now is dead. Ah... Time to dig the garage for my long lost expression.
2) Didn't finish theory homework and had to do it doing class time. I finish it at the end ^.^ (Although i think the mess i made on the paper is gonna kill the poor lecturer.)
3) I told Frank(theory lecturer)that he was mean. He was sad about it. -.-" I gave him a share of chocolates and he named me teacher's pet. -.-" ERrrrr....
4) Shane 'beat' up Devi today
5)Arts management was chaotic today(it's esp. bad today)
6)Keyboard skill classroom was changed from M117 to PA306...meaning that we had to climb the stairs again. :(
7)Lesson ended half and hour early. Had to take the public transport.
8) I've got new year cookie from Isaac's aunty! YAE!!!
9)Forgot to bring hand phone. Thanks Devi for lending me your phone :)
10) Concert today was totally amazzzing! We had this young talent from china to play the GuZheng for us. The last piece was a fusion between the east and the west. Mona played the piano. The timing was very tidy.

Last Saturday, I was at Maranatha. Uncle Jimmy was saying something that impress me on typing it out. It's not word to word, but it goes something like this " We can't just sit back and criticise people when we aren't even doing anything". I think many should really think about this. People are out there trying their very best to spread the gospel and behind us is not a pillar of support, but a bow loaded with criticism.

I believe if we trust the Lord to give us strength,work together and support each other, there is nothing impossible for us to achieve.

Saturday night...

2007-02-03T22:49:00.000+08:00

Yup,it's a saturday night.I love saturday nights. It's always the most calming day ever. No noise,peace and serenity. There's so much to do on the rest of the days.

I'm getting to paint my room tomorrow ^.^ WEeee...Finally a fresh coat of paint.

My learning point:Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you will get. In Ecclesiates, it is said that two is always better than one. I totally agree with that.Sometimes, you never know what kind of friend you'd get. Even the best friend you even treat with extra care and love can one day betray you. We can only learn to keep loving the people around us. At least we know that we've tried and none was in vain. Even if the outcome is bad, it pays to be kind. Be thankful when you find the friends that would truly stay by your side in times of trouble- be utmost grateful. Life is short. It has been always short. Treasure the people around you. Don't hurt them.

Computer's time is always in a mess. -.-"

Asean Cup 2007- Finals (Singapore vs Thailand)

2007-01-31T22:21:00.000+08:00

Quick update of school life...
Had a great time at orch practice today. Played one wierd twentieth century music and chopin's concerto no.1. Playing violin II with hairie. Strings section playing really difficult songs. One of which is Queen of Sheba.I'm doomed with the Violin I part. It's so super fast. Performance is said to be next week. I wonder how am i going to get that right in time. Finish the new Debussy piece for exam.It's the prelude from book II no. 5.That piece is quite nice.Struggling with the Liszt piece,the one from paganni.Sighz...I wish i had bigger hands.

It's pretty wierd for me to be watching soccer. Apparently, i made up my mind that i should watch it. Today's match was really fierce. The Thais didn't show any mercy so did our home team. Bet many of you also watched it.
I thought the protest at the 2nd half was quite infuriating. I mean, the whole epic of how the thai guy dragged Alam Shah down was captured on national tv and the thais revolted for the yellow card given and a penalty shot. True, that penalty shot may determine the winner of the Asean Cup but can't the Thais have faith in their goal keeper.I thought it was a little too much for the Thais to actually do this. Incredible isn't it? They're going to make headlines over the Asean nations. Probaly, the entire Asia! lol. I didn't think it was a pretty nice thing to do.

Kinda wierd though...they'd be playing another match in Thailand on Sunday. Three cheers for Singapore! GO SINGAPORE! (the rare times i'm that patriotic.) I'd watch that match ^.^

Hmmm..time to go now.Need my sleep (I don't consider it as beauty sleep..i mean, i never. lol)

High on haagan Daaz ice cream.

Been busy lately in school.Haven't got time to do anything much over the past few weeks. Big apology to those whom i haven't reply to their emails, testimonials and smses. ^.^

Quick update...

School's great. Lots of interesting new modules.(Esp the History of Performing Arts). On the negative side, there's so much of facts to remember.In fact.some are pretty dry. I've got 'kicked out' of the project work with the piano seniors and got chucked into the strings player.Sighzzz...Ain't that bad anyway. The strings senior are really nice people too. ^.^ We've got fusion group settled already. Devi,Isaac,Kelvin,Shane and myself. Pretty much the group I hang out with. Sadly, we can't fit the rest in. So, we've to split ourseleves into two group. We did a song at choir which I don't think anyone would expect a group of university level kids to do- Old Macdonald(on the high side, It's Old macdonald had a jazzy farm). It's a twisted version. The jazz version.lol. Orchestra's starting this week...means I've to practice the violin again. Sighz... and string ensemble clashes with Arts,culture and society class tomorrow. So, we probaly have to start fixing that clash again.

Church is going on fine. Pathfinders and Adventurers started yesterday. We did a totally different way of running the club meeting. It was fun in a way. Although, it was pretty chaotic at the start. I bet it'd improve. We've got new members from the community. Which I think is really great. There's still lots of fine tuning to do.

Things are not always the way we want it to be. Even if it doesn't , we can make the best of it. If we strive on, trusting our Lord at all times, those obstacles that we have to overcome will be like passing clouds. Let the rain pours if it has to. The sun will rise somedays.

School started and this semester is one seriously short one. Don't think I'd ever have enough time to blog or even to email. Songs are getting difficult. Have to raise my technique and stamina level. Don't intend to die after playing half of Beethoven's Sonata in F. 1st movt - Allegro. 2nd movt-Moderato. 3rd movement- presto! Whoa...it's either I do something about it, or I'd not survive this piece. Sunday's aren't the most enjoyable. ^.^ Off to Ikea.
