happy bday to mE!!
thx to all hu remembered my bday... u all really make dreams come true. if i were to put it as a percentage of pple from church hu remembered my bday last yr compared to this year, i cant..... cos last year there was wad.. none i think haha.
anyways, tis aft i was realli sick.. but suddenly now i feel better again.. it seems my sickness has mood swings too. its been like this for too long.. so went to see doctor jus now. got ripped off big time lah.
ohh.. and there seems to be this aura of stupidity and disfunctionality wif my toilet... first the flushing system, then the doorknob.. now the punctured shower hose.... i have nothing to say lah lololol.
okayz then.. cya all!!!
wow. another sunday gone by. sundays nowadays have become a veri special day in the wk.
today was filled wif lots of ups and downs, happiness, anger, sadness. First of all, a big
THANK YOU!!! to chialynn for the present!! was the first present i received. so it turns out.. people at church actually REMEMBER MY BIRTHDAY!!! WOOHOO!! nt onli tt, more than 4 pple wished me happie bday!! hahahaha. thx to basil, kelvin, gareth, cheryl (lol). nvm had tis sorta thingy b4.. so cool. and ken i hope ya like the t-shirt, cos tis yr one of my goals is to buy all my close frenz a bday pressie. :P so pls prompt me and i shall start to save up my pocket money.
todays first rehearsal of the year for open hse. i think if we go on at the rate we are learning songs and practising, i think we can realli make it for teh concert. however, i see a few potential problems... hmm.. hope they dun get worse. will pray abt it. anyway, i think todays practice shows tt pple hu can talk can sing. this is the first time we are practising, and more than 70% of the pple can sing in their parts liao. nt badz.
okay then.. tts all for now... shall go and.. laze arnd somemore i guess... lolol.
okayyy... the pianos on the way. 2nd hand $850 Casio privia smth-500X model. realli hope it doesnt come wif defects. the guy says it is a display mod.. seldom used. well.. i'll find out when it comes on monday or tues. :P
hmm. still thinking abt it. shud i pursue music in uni?
these few days ive been thinking of whether to retake piano or nt.. i realli dunno. its been a long time since i touched a piano for more than 5 mins. dunno whether i will have the will to prac or nt...
my father says its nt a qn of 'shud i retake piano?' but rather whether i shud pursue music at uni, hence tts the thing i need to think abt. cant i jus whack piano for the fun of it, and continue wif guitar for fun onli too? maybe i can decide wad i wan to do at uni later.. maybe nows too early. still have 3 more years to improve to the max. hmmm.
oh welllz. anyways, the weekend is basically lined up wif nth again... cos i realli dun feel like doing hw lol. theres also the first prac for open hse this sunday. wonder how it will be like.
yeah.. tts all for nows. cyaz.
well wadya noe.. its all over. majority of this hectic wk is OVER!!!
today, will be my rest day. hahahah. cos theres
no work to be handed up the next day. (somehow we conned our a maths teacher into postponing a deadline for hw :P) wow can u believe it.. my mood fluctuates so easily. ytd i was super down cos of running nose and a mad amt of hw. today im ok, and theres no hw. wow.
kay then, cya all!!!
i know. when saturday comes, it will seem like this week was nothing. given the chance, would i live my sec 4 yr all over again? hmm.
my bday is in a few days time.. nobody from church has remembered my bday b4.. wonder if tt will change.......
dreams.
hi.. its me again.
today was another rough day.. it all started at chinese period, followed by a mass number of boring periods. even doing theory hw during free geog was more fun. anyways, today came back and napped (again) and went for music class... got back theory grade 6 results.. got 82!! which is a 2 mark scrape into a merit. honestly was hoping for at least a near miss of a distinction but nvm i passed, can move on.
jus now was toking wif my mom.. i realli dunno if i shud pursue music as a career... its realli a veri veri tough decision. right now my guitar aint progressing much.. cos got so little time. wonder if i shud do it for leisure instead... and now i also want to go and relearn piano... throughout the 10 years the piano existed in my hse i dint realise its impt until the 5 months it dint exist. well my mom says tt getting the piano aint a prob.. its a matter if i will practice again. will i? i mean.. the piano was sitting there for so long waiting to be practised on... wad abt now..... need to think this over. Lord pls guide me.
ergh. today i jus dun feel right.. i think its prob cos i too tired. i jus feel.. so sian about sch.
i was telling my fren.. sch finishes at 2:40. reach home 3:15. lunch till 3:30 and nap till 5:30. tuition from 7 - 8. then left wad.. 2h to do work and relax. well i guess tts life.
i decided my guitar life needed a bit of spice.. cos everything is getting too boring. its jus the same boring classical songs.. guitar playing needs one veri nice piece that motivates u to prac more.. so today i decided to start learning
Asturias!! i think some of u all cud have heard it b4.. jus dunno wad its called. b4 asturias there was.. Sevilla.. really magical piece... but it was so difficult that the magic could not be brought out by me haha.. so those type of pieces i jus shove aside for now.
yeah.. i guess tts all.. another mass toking cock session from me.. cant wait for wkend (or even 1 solid hour of rest). cyaz.
and the long wkend is coming to a close again.. and my homework is still all there, waiting to be done. much has happened in the past few days.. got youth overnight which was real fun. i think this was one of the few youth activities where girls outnumbered the guys lolol. even so.. was real fun.. i think the food was even better tahn the thxgiving party food haha.
also, got to talk to nehe during this short break from army.. he is wad i wud call 'armified'. sleep eat talk army lolz. well.. i guess this is prob wad wud happen to anybody.. after all.. u spend 24-7 there. so sad.. hes going back in again. nvm nxt time will get to see him during chinese new year wif more hair, provided he doesnt kena a minor 3 times haha.
oh wellz.. tts abt all.. wish everybody a gd wk at sch... how ironic.. i dun feel that way.. wish u cud..
oh btw.. happy bday to ken.. this year i made a resolution to try to buy my close frens pressies.. and.. er.. HINT HINT. hehe.
wah. i dunno where to start.
i think i probably got injured more in these 4 days than the entire 2004. this camp was realli some crazy camp, the most extreme i've been to in my life. went canoeing, rafting in mud water (in vain), climbing mountains... wahh.
anyways, besides the conjested toilets and the conjested tents, i think the thing i will remember most abt this camp is our instructor... his name is Zane.. he can relate to us veri veri well... within 4 days can tell our personalities to us.. some of which we take 16 years to try to tell ourselves, and we cant even be sure abt it. (hence he knows a lot abt psychology and is a counsellor). definitely 1 great guy.
anyways i'm SO glad i'm back.. there r words that jus make u smile like HOT WATER and BED. well.. this camp has definitely changed me a bit.. dunno for better or for worse.. we'll find out soon enuf eh? i going to share wif u all my experiences in devotion during 1st overnight. welll.. hope to see all of ya there tml. cyaz.
can u believe it..the nice guy hu sold me the inflatable pillow cheated me $10. how disappointing.
i told myself jus now tt i dont want to do chinese hw on the night b4 i dun touch the com for 4 days. so here i am. (nt tt i goign away for veri long) :P well certain things have changed.. for example my father changed the coms wireless mse and keyboard to a super sensitive wired optical mse and a old (black) keyboard wif a lousy spacebar. lolz.
anyways.. sundays are surprisingly becoming more and more strenulous. i'm practically spending the whole day at church. but its quite fun la. today i ponned 11am worship for meeting to discuss songs... managed to get more or less a complete repertoire. aft tt had auditions.. dint have to sing cos i noe my range liaoz :P hehe. aft tt went for 6pm then here i am aft dinner and incomplete chinese hw.
yea.. tts abt all i got to say b4 i leave... enjoy ur comfy beds pple.. i'll tell ya abt the trip when i get back.
went for guit lesson today in the morn. haiz.. every lesson i get more and more demoralised.. i starting to feel that sight reading is a gift.. its either u have it or u dun (i most probably dun).
aft tt was more fun.. went to plaza sing to buy an inflatable pillow for malaysia trip nxt wk (btw, i will be gone on 17 - 20... some camp in the jungles of Kluang). first tried carrefour on advice of my fren.. turns out he was referring to the suntec one.. so i look arnd. luckily theres a sports connection there.. the guy there hu served me was veri funny.. at first he looked veri calm.. getting change and all.. then all of a sudden he starts to explain the inflatable pillow concept to me.. abt how u shud hold the nozzle while u blow, and how pple have burst pillows and gone back to him to fix (it costs $4). lolol. was laffing after tt.
i dint noe my moms trolley luggage bag was so small.. i mean.. i only want to pack in:
1 sleeping bag
6 t-shirts
5 pants
1 towel
all encased in plastic bags
and one bag wif 2 shirts and 2 pants tt i dun intend to wear unless the tent gets flooded so badly tt i have no dry clothes.
at this point, the bag is already full
i still intend to squeeze in toiletries and my shoes. how man. lol.
anyway, tml is auditions for open hse.. i realli realli hope as many pple as possible pple go.. we need as many pple to sing as possible. yea. cya tml.
SCREAM.
too
much
internal
conflict
and
stress.
need
to
rest.
this 5 day wk thing is realli difficult to adjust to man. today i had sch until 2:40 as usual, then go for guitar class. i tell u... i am so SIAN of the 74 bus ride there and the 165 bus ride back. wastes 2h of my life. lol. today toked wif my guit teacher.. say tt if i want to take grade 8 or Performance cert this yr must realli work on my sight reading... cos wad tt matters is nt the cert.. but wad type of guitarist you are... i think that statement realli speaks to me. even if u have a qualification but cant perform up to it normally its useless rite? your name on the cert doesnt realli matter (unless u wanna get into uni)
jus now went to make new specs... now that my degree so high the specs cost an obscene amt. then try to mend back my current specs... its forever out of shape. 'in-shape' to me is actually veri off to the lady at the shop.. so keep on bend here bend there but cannot get the correct shape. now i staring at the com screen my vision also a bit wrong.
haiz.. so much stress.. oh btw pple... i going overseas to kluang, malaysia nxt wk on 17 - 20 (mon - thurs) for some adventure camp thingy.. pls pray for me. now my strength jus rests on some of the small things in life.. jus now i open my email and see that progress is carried out on the open hse gives me hope. yea. continue to strive for the Lord everybody!!!
today was one weird day man. after u almost work until u die for 5 days, suddenly u have 1 whole day to feel bored.
woke up at 10:40. lol. vast difference from the usual 6am. today was quite fun lah.. jus stay home and did wad i usually did during hols. tv, guitar (altho my fingers were still crammed up from past 2 days 4h of practice) and com. jus now went clementi to eat dinner and get my watch fixed. haha i dint noe it wud take so long... was also hoping to check my eyesight, buy t-shirts... and take so much money too. battery $6 okay lah can last for 1 year. strap... city chain sells for $18. i thot too ex so went to one of those smaller ulu shops. the guy there tells me $8. so i say okay. when its done he collects the money, and says its $18 dollars. lol. i onli heard the ba of the shiba quai. so i change it to a cheaper (uglier) $12 one.. so paiseh rite. but still so ex. the $14 i spent can buy a pirated pasar malam watch.
also found out today that the song
True by Ryan Cabrera cannot be played by 1 solo guitarist wif all those string mutes. i tried it on my guitar... it takes a lot of force to make the sound of the string slaps. tt means got 2 guitars playing. so disappointing. its a nice song. but unfortunately my voice is also not made for pop music.. register too low. hai.. wish i cud sing higher lol.
yea.. tts abt it.. jus finished a terrible attempt on myself in chinese. tts abt all the hw i have.. so tml is free. cya pple.
FINALLY.. the weekend.
glenn going in tml. hope nehe enjoyed his first day. i doubt glenn wud come here.. still waiting for him to come online to wish him gd luck...
is being this busy good for me? i think i need to take time and sit back and jus watch the world go by and think abt stuff in general.
today got back my results for grade 6 guitar practical. i PASSED!!!! hurray. wif an 83 too!!! 2 marks short of a distinction. how cool is that man. my predicted score was wad.. 70?
jus now took a break from the rest of the week.. played halo for 1/2h. its fun to thrash up pple over internet lol. after nt playing for abt 1 wk, play liddat super fun. the little things in life.
nehe going in tml. if u happen to see this nehe, all the best!! and trust in God always =)
haha.. nicks demanding an update liao.
everyday i notice i waking up in the morning more and more tired. and it also seems that the 1st few days of a new sch term i always veri hardworking one. see how long it lasts lol.
today i dunno wad happened man. it all started wif my file. it went missing and i thot i left it in the library or smth. turns out it was on the guy's desk hu sits behind me. next i cant find my foolscap pad. it turns out i put it into my locker by accident. but if i put my foolscap pad into my locker, where did my A maths A4 exercise bk go? haiz. still looking.
it's the 3rd day and i starting to feel sad liao. it was all after 5:30 when my fren called me and told me tt i was supposed to show up at mep class today. b4 tt my other teacher told me mep for us was going to be on friday for us, followed by guitar at 5 - 7 aft that. i was delighted lah cos mep clashes wif UYO, and all the stuff is all on 1 day. but now mep class is supposedly on weds, so.... friday mus go St john's!??! tts the last thing i want. its like some goof ball wif no post going for training to listen to ur own peers command u arnd.
trials dark on every hand
and we cannot understand
all the ways that God will lead us
to that blessed promised land.
But He'll guide us with his eye
and we follow till we die
we will understand it better by and by.
yeah...tts basically my inspiration, just try to live life day by day. tml. tml theres normal lessons, guitar prac 3 - 6, no serious hw due yet, and maybe even performance for sec 1 oreintation. its a gd day isnt it? so i shall enjoy it.
heya all!! i think u might wanna noe a bit about my 1st Day.
my long pants were kinda cramp.. i think i need to buy from different distributor. looks goofy wif my big asics shoes. today was pretty fun.. so long nvr see classmates, and reunitement wif our teachers. our class is as goofy as ever too haha. also got elected as vice-chair today. my best fren got chair post, and hes sulking over it haha. also had 1st A maths lesson, got this realli pro teacher wif a weird accent. fortunately hes nt one of those teachers hus language is so terrible tt u laff every minute.
haiz so sad.. i starting to miss the youths already!!! withdrawal symptoms already started showing on sunday. hmm.. i guess this is onli normal after going thru 2 months of great fun wif yall!! i jus dun want to let these moments disappear.
oh wellz, enuf from me for today.. gtg finish up the rest of teh unfinished hw!! bye
i purposely updated my sch blog first, cos wad i want to write today mus be veri well put together. (actually as u can see, i've practically given up on updating my sch blog, so pple come heree!!) lol.
today was a happy day, wif
gareth's baptism!!! congrats!! still remember the 1st time i met you, it was some goofy basketball game we were playing... hahahaha. since then you've grown up so much. congratS!!!
second message of the night.. to NEHE!!
hmm.. it's quite sad to see someone u've grown up so much with go away.. altho its onli to an island nt to far away tts part of sg. i oso cant remember how i met u.. but i do remember all that we've been thru.. the camps, the 2 open hses, and thxgiving parties, and mark's nonsense. the seat beside me in church during will be missing somebody, but nvm, i will still see u when u get opportunities to book out, which is during chinese new yr izzit? then i can insult ur hair lol. and maybe even test ur drill skills
today was spent going out, sneaked in 1 month too early into a pool hall and played abit, then aft tt went for 6pm, then come back home. my bag is still unpacked, hw.. no comments.
6 months b4 the nxt major reunification.. i believe that the sch term will really test the youth group to see how well it will hold together, with people going overseas to study, people going into army, and people taking exams.
*gasp* it's 10 already!! gtg cya all!!!
