CO or not ?

Should I join back CO as a cca?
Sian..
I was sort of settled with Salvo drums until I realise that during their performances, they play the same piece most of the time and that made me lost interest in it because I think once I master it, I would not bother to attend cca.
And someone from CO called me to ask me if I would like to help out with a minor school performance(lower strings only, i think =D) and I was tempted.
Because I could earn SEAL points from it.
I'm realistic lah, face the fact, LOL.
But practice might start this thursday for me, when all ccas are still having their trials-.-

Yah, and after I made up my mind like hours later(wtf?!), I felt as if I regretted joining them because here's what's the sms said : Ok sure. Thanks a lot! Will inform you soon. :)
The 'thanks a lot!' made me felt as if they had no one else to call and that's why they called me.
And now I don't know if I made the right choice.

Will be giving up touch football and canoe polo and debate I guess.
Canoe polo =( Maybe I should just go for the trials and see how first.

Will be joining sports club since the timings are pretty flexible?

CCA is so irritating-.-
But I can't live without it, been actively participating in one since primary school! -.-
And I have so much more achievements when I was younger, LOL

It's almost midnight now and I haven't start on any of my homeworks yet and lessons starts at 10am tomorrow!
Dreadful D:

Ciaoz.

ROWDY 1L04!

I think its getting better and better by the day already! Haha =D
One thing I got to say is that my class is damn rowdy, no longer the quiet class.
They are just 'acting shy' on the first day only!
LOL, if any of my classmate sees this I die already, LOLOLOLOLOL.
Every since tues or wed, we have been having mass conversation every night! LOL
And they are always gossiping, saying each other gays, saying da pai feed, cheesebun!, and all the other random stuffs.
Seem a little childish, but still, that's my class. LOL

And I laughed like mad today eh! LOL, but not continuously lah, but still, not bad right! :P
Most of my classmates are quite a bunch of jokers and today has sort of been the best day of school apart from the boring CSA-.-
One of my classmate, jiankai, the dapai feed guy-.-, brought a usb fan to csa today, lol, joker I tell you!
LOLOLOLOL, and now he is trying to persuade the class to get the usb fan as well, lol.

Went to atiqah's birthday celebration and it was not that bad.
She has a wonderful and interesting family, haha.
They are all like her, equally as loud, hahahaha.
While waiting for her, the few of us who attended her bday celebration went to the beach for a walk and we chatted while sitting on the waterbreak(stone! LOL!).
There was this guy who was taking pictures there and poor him, he was part of our source of entertainment.
Jai ate worms! LOL
Hahahaha, seriously...weiyuan looks just like one of us, he don't seem like he's 18(maybe it's because he is childish, LOL,) and he's one enthu guy for tkd! Lol.
I miss tkd =(

Had fun today in conclusion!
Going out to library to study with some of the dragons tomorrow, LOL!
Bye!

GWH

First GWH for NASCO!
Great job! great job!
Indeed, the hard work that they have put in every since last year end has paid off.
It has been a long and arduous process, but it's finally over.

I was stunned after hearing the result, I felt happy, but I didn't know what to say, like totally speechless. Hahahahaha
But I'm already worrying for the next batch of juniors.
Gotta work harder to maintain!
But for now, who cares! Hahahhaha

G-O-O-D J-O-B good job good job! =D

I felt terrible when I saw catherine crying, but I controlled, and after seeing yuyun crying, i couldn't control my tears anymore.
Because I was totally reminded of the times I had in nas and co with them and huiling, stacia and so many other seniors.
Be it happy or sad, tough or relax.
I totally missed life in NAS.

Also, seeing all of them grow and change since I knew them when they were sec1 till now sec3 and sec4 respectively..once again, the hard fact that 'time waits for no man' hit me right on my face.
My juniors wanted me to cry during last year's COda farewell party, but I didn't.
Because I know that even though we are stepping down from cca, we will still get to meet and see them almost any time when we want, just like how huiyi&yihui visits cy&me in class or vice versa, or when yuyun comes to my class during breaktimes.
So I was assured that I can still see them.

But now, especially after syf is over and that school has started, there are lesser reasons and time for me to go back to visit them.
As time goes by, they have grown to become much independent too.

One thing that stays deeply etched in my mind was how I limped my way to dunman high when I was sec2 for the east zone co camp with catherine and fusheng(who came only one the 1st and last day,lol) and how we spent those 5days there.
It sure was tough for us two whose skills were like crap at that time and having to be playing along with the elites from other schools, it sure was tough.
And then it was the syf in 2007 and then when it was the time I had to lead my juniors.
Now, it's huiyi, shumei&catherine turn to step down.
What's next.

As things in class isn't really going that well for me because I can't find people who I feel comfortable with yet, that made me miss nas even more.
I realise that I'm the kind who tend to feel only after I've lost it or am losing it.

Be it how unwilling I am,
It's time to put things down and get started all over again.

Homeworks on the first day of poly life =/

First tutorial; first lesson in TP, the 'special' one which starts this week and there's homework from it already.
Am still doing it and I don't know what time will I finish my work because theres still abt 3chapters of LCom that are waiting for me to read it.
And the best thing is that there's LCom tomorrow at 10am.
A little not used to doing homeworks, but still, I must do it.
So many latin terms to learn, but I can do it =D
I'm one step closer to my dream! =D

Off to complete my work, but I will be back!

1st day of school!

After such a long long long long long break...school is finally starting again!
I hope I won't be asking for holidays to come as the term goes, lol.
As tutorials starts only on week 2, I will not have any lessons on wednesday! And that means that I can go back to nas! LOL

There's Lcomsk1 from 1pm-4pm today by Lena Chow(my careperson) and I hope it will be good.
Let's pray that she isn't a boring teacher.
And Lcomsk1 is the only tutorial that we have to attend for week 1, I don't know why is her lesson so special and I will be seeing her at least 4times a week when lessons starts prim and proper.

Then there's CSA from 4pm-5pm and I hope it will be good too because I don't like such stuffs =/
I think I suck at it. LOL

I will be meeting Atiqah at 12.30pm to find our way to class and let's hope we won't get lost, hahahaha!

Also......... HAPPY BIRTHDAY QIHAO!

Going to prepare for my lessons now.
BYE!

PS. Can't wait to start learning criminal law! =D But that is in sem 2 I think =(

week O orientation

I think FOC was way much better than this but again, it's two different thing because of the people, the attitude and the purpose and everything.
But for now, I'm not enjoying myself as much as how I did for FOC.
And maybe because it came after FOC, the expectation I had for it was probably greater since I experienced one of the best ever.
Mass dance and cheers were so much better in FOC.
I'm sorry, but I'm like comparing everything with FOC now.
I hope tomorrow will be better though, because afterall, the SLs and main comms and everyone involved has put in so much effort for this.

There isn't anyone that I know of in my class and everything is totally new.
The people in my class, I don't know, I hope it will get better when school officially starts or maybe all of them are still shy, doubt so though.
It seem that I'm like the bad kid there or the crappiest(?) person.

Is it just that I'm the one who is hard to get along with?
Oh, and Atiqah, the first friend I made in class is pretty nice I guess.

Want to know the best joke of me today?
I left my house today without bringing my wallet with me.
How smart right? And I didn't realise that I didn't had my wallet with me all the way till we completed registration and the SLs were asking us to pay for the orientation.
It was then that I realise that I didn't have my wallet with me.
Awesome isn't it?
I hope that I won't forget to bring my wallet out of the house and not realising it again when heading for school.
But again, I think that this might happen often since I will be walking to school for most of the time.
And because of that, I didn't go for reliez dinner outing today.

Came home and cello-ed vigorously for 2hours straight after I came home though I was tired because I needed to get some emotions off me.
I don't feel like going tomorrow but then they will be giving out our matric card and timetable and stuffs and my flu just got worst because of today.

And I didn't get to go for regatta because the response was overwhelming =(
My SLs were great though, Jan and Simone(the one who amused me by wanting to make a cheer for me when I first stepped into TP for FOC, yes, the holqa GL, haha)

MY HAIR =X

I did something crazy, but not that crazy to my hair.
And I don't know how long will I be stuck with it.
Don't know what was going through my mind when I did it either. LOL
Here are pictures of my hair throughout the past two years, haha, don't have any pics of me in sec1&2(lost them when my com died)
willy wonka!!!
My willy wonka hair. haha
no more willy wonka =( LOL
My 'cool' hair, I'm no longer cool =(
I was often mistaken as a guy too, haha!
3r1'07!
a picture of me in sec 2!
another sec2 pic. haha
I'm so bored!
I was in camp at this time last monday!
But now....I'm doing nothing.
I don't even know what to blog about because there's nothing for me to blog about.
I will be having cello lessons tomorrow in the morning again and I don't feel like going for it =/
It has been one week and my bow isn't ready yet =/

Shirlin's birthday is coming up on wed!
But I have totally no ideas on what should I get her =/
I feel so depressed. LOL

Post camp blues

I feel like cutting off my nose and my throat.
Lol, I have yet to recover from it since wednesday =/
Okay, my fault too lah, didn't went to see a doctor, self-medicating.
And I can't go for the final clash tomorrow because I think my cough&flu will get worst under the 12pm sun in Sentosa(most of them will be sunburnt I guess! Haha!) and also because of cello. Hais.
But it's okay, I bet there will be other outings lah, so it's alright. Haha

Going off to stone now, bye!

reliez reliez oosh oosh reliez reliez oosh

Reliez, ni diao bu diao!?

mm diao diao mm diao (x2)
mm diao diao mm diao mm

one more time!

mm diao diao mm diao (x2)
mm diao diao mm diao mm


one last time

mm diao diao mm diao (x2)
mm diao diao mm diao mm


I'm back from FOC!
It was awesome!! =D
The mass dance!, cheers!, GLs!, freshies! and everything there! =D
This camp has definitely gave me a whole great load of new experience!

I'm in the empire Reliez and sub-empire Reylon and I definitely love my empire and am very glad that I was in Reliez! =DD

I personally felt that the group was a little not that enthusiastic yet on the first day(we are all shy people, hahaha!), but the second day was better and we started getting enthu!
When we were told that we were 5th on the last day, I felt sad because it was already the last day and yet the hard work that we have put in doesn't seem to show much changes(saw one of our gl cried too because of that D= ), but still, I love my empire because we continued to have fun while playing the games instead of being dispirited and not having fun because of the position.

All of us played hard and worked hard together right till the end and not losing the spirit to do better and we managed to clinch a third!
The feeling was awesome!
Because having fun and enjoying ourselves were the main objectives, being 3rd was really a bonus to the fun we had =D

The GLs were great! and I felt sad that a few of them actually had to leave on the second night =( but well, we are all one big family who can have each other's support though not being physically there.
I think Cheryl is great, really great. Haha!
Jeslyn too =) and she has a booming voice when she shouts! haha!
Hakim was once again my GL! He was my GL the other time during my sec1 orientation, teaching us the 'shark cheer' and stuffs, and now he's my GL again!
It was a great feeling to meet someone who you have not met since so long, but it was a little saddening(is there such a word? lol) that he doesn't remembers me.
Haha, well, it's been 3years so yeah, it's not surprising, haha.
Bernice was the first gl that I spoke most to.
All the GLs were damn nice and friendly! =D

Ok, I'm going off now to do other things, bye! =D

Reflection =D

Am still obsessed over Reflections. Haha!
Was once obsessed with that song and now, I'm once again addicted to it.

Overall, I had a good day today =)
I think that Shinjuku Incident was quite ok, nice enough to entertain me with all the bloody scenes and chopped off hands, haha!
Sounds like some sicko. lol
And Daniel Wu's make-up for the character at the second half of the movie is like, omg! Lol, like some typical crazy look you find in some parts of Japan.

Went a little high with Yuyun and Benjamin today after their rehearsal, haha. I was marrying them off away to other people.
I think Kah Chin is a very good entertainer to make me really LOL. Haha, he doesn't have to do much though, because I'm the root of all cause of my laughter, haha.
Met people who I have not seen for very long and it was nice to meet them again! Haha.

Okay, it's close to 3am now, going off!
Bye!

P.S. Am still obsessed with my cello, LOL

Saturday, April 04, 2009

i've gotten a new cello!

It seems as if I have gotten a new cello. Lol
It's so much easier to play now, maybe I will be saying bye to the dead skin on my left index!
It's already there lah, no difference-.-

Went to Gramercy today to shorten my cello bridge because it's way too high and I finally decides to get it shorten.(wanted to keep it the way it was, but then it's stopping me from playing my notes properly, so no choice, it got to go.)
When the luthier passed me my cello, I tried it and omg, the strings were so much nicer to be pressed! Haha
But I think he might have shorten it a little too much that should the strings cut into the wood, I might have to change the bridge =/
But nevermind, at least it won't be giving me any troubles for now. Haha
We'll come to it when it's time to.

At the same time, I decided to rehair my bow because the luthier says that mine can still be used after rehair-ing.
Moreover, my bow, though not the best, isn't of those lousy quality, so it's like not worth to settle for another bow which is inferior to it when it can still be used.
Also, I prefer the shade of my current bow as compared to those that I was shown which costs $100+.
After being told by him that my bow was under the $200+ category, I regretted not taking better care of my bow, LOL.
It costs $60 to be rehair-ed and it's taking a week to be rehair-ed, so I got to get another bow in the meantime to practice, but it can serve as a standby when my original bow comes back =D
Got one which cost me $40, but I do like it though it's the cheapest one there because it somehow gave me a warm and comfortable feeling, just like the one I used in NAS.
So I spent $100 in return for having two bows which I like as compared to spending $180 to get a bow which I don't really like and not being able to use my original one.
Isn't that a better deal? =D

Bought two song books and a book on theory music.
Now... I don't know if I want to continue taking up cello to a higher grade.
Because looking at the book it seem still acceptable and is like a waste to stop learning and trying.
But then there will also be composing later on as the grade gets higher which I don't really fancy because I learn the cello just to play for leisure and am not interested in composing yet.
I'm in a dilemma again, and I don't know if I should invest my time in tkd again.
It seem that the phrase 'A master of none, but Jack of all trades' suit me pretty much uh?
Though I'm not really a jack of all trades because I don't know everything.

Tried out the songs when I was back in one of the books which was a small collection of disney songs and I can play reflection and colours of the wind!
It's not exactly very hard, but I don't play it very well either. Hahahaha, how dumb.

And, I think I have a mum who thinks she is cute by asking me to find a comfortable spot at hitachi tower(raffles area) and open up my cello case and to start playing and to share with her the proceeds I get. -.-
Ok, this came about when I got on bus10 happily without checking the direction it was going because I assumed it will be coming back to tampines just because bus31 was in tampines direction.
Yup, so from paya lebar, I went to raffles place instead of tampines. How smart.
I feel so dumb over how complacent I was after boarding the bus, thinking I will be going on a long bus ride home.
After finding it heading towards a wrong direction, I even wanted to continue the ride taking it as a tour around Singapore.
Thank god I didn't follow my stupid plan, if not, I would have landed up at Kent Ridge Terminal which I check on the board after alighting.
Felt so dumb when I was at paya lebar station after taking the train back from raffles.

Played the cello non-stop for 4hours today and I felt great. LOL
Reason being was because I have not played the cello continuously so long ever since cca stopped. Haha =X
Going off to do better things now, bye!

P.S. I'm tempted to play the cello again -.-

I think......

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be out on 16/17 July!

where does my real passion lies?

Had cello in the morning which made my mood a little bad because I woke up late and had to rush down to tian's place. My left hand hasn't had enough strength yet and then my notes were all off tune because of it.
Just like how you can't write properly/immediatly after you've woken up.

Didn't feel like going home after lesson because of my bad mood and I decided to bring forward the date of having a haircut because having a haircut normally changes my mood for the better.
That was what happened the other few times and amazingly, it still works this time round! =D
And now, I would shut my mouth about having a haircut for the meantime(been wanting one since end jan/early feb) since I had one today. =D
The next time you will hear me talking about having a haircut might be a few months down the road, unless I can't stand my hair again. Haha
And I have gotten a red mouse as well! But I don't know if it works well =/ Tsk.

Talked to grace the other time and suddenly, I was reminded of the passion I had for tkd the other time and realise that deep inside me, there's still the passion for it.
Those were the days where trainings were tough, countless of time and hardwork that I had put into it but yet the wonderful satisfaction I got from it.
For example, the satisfaction I got from my first medal in tkd though it was only a silver, and then the satisfaction that I got when I had my own gee with my chinese name on it.
I still remember some of the patterns(from white belt to blue belt), most of the kicks/defences and blah blah blah.
Now I'm thinking if I should join back tkd in tp though I heard that their tkd there is crap-.-
But I shall go and see what's their training like before deciding.

After today's lesson, I think I will stop learning cello after being certified a grade5 because I won't be pursuing a music career in the future, so there's a little no point in getting a diploma for it(if I can) or to take theory exam just to take grade6 or higher exams.
But I will still continue to play the cello, try out new songs and practice to improve my skills, just that I won't be certified if I had really improved.

Anyway, my mood is still good now though I'm feeling a little emotional(because of tkd and cello=/).
But still, cya! =)
