{Peektures !}

Yups, click the above for the stalkers outing pictures. (: Don't want to elaborate on my being uber pissed yesterday. I'm fine now and thank God it didn't erupt into a full blown argument.

27th June

Didn't have our east coast funday after all. ): But we did all meet (minus sally plus desmond) at the food court at novena square2 was treated to krispy kremes ! HEAVEN :D And all because, KIKI'S BACKKKKKKK ! :D Hurhur, thanks so much dear ! I loved the one with custard and even the original glazed one rocks. We went to sit around the istana park to talk and be retarded. (: It's nice just chilling in cool locations.. I can't believe graces is leaving in 2 weeks ):

28th June

Stalkers outing ! 6 out of 7 of us made it (: Hurhur. I was the first ! Rare indeed, haha. We lunched at the HK cafe at cine which was not bad. I love baked rice. Cheesy goodness (: Then we shopped around a bit but it tired us out. ): Bah, didn't find anything nice though I might go back to mango if shopping in KL isn't great. I had a fried mars bar (: Mmms, fooooood.

Then ber, sk, cherr and I head down to suntec's kbox. KBOX IS EVIL I TELL YOU !!! It's overly addictive. It was ladies night (we only had to pay for drinks, snacks, service charge, royalties and gst =$16) though it still cost more than k-lunch, hmph. Anyhoo, we sang lots of english songs this time and got really really really high on stuff like elevation and vertigo (and ashlee simpson's 'boyfriend'). Haha, we were literally jumping and dancing on the couch. I suppose it might've also been the vodka lime and tequila sunrise we had, lols. Oh and sk and I were determined to be able to catch snacks in our mouths and so the area around us was littered with nuts and the like. =X Lols.

Omgahhhd, this tshirt from threadless totally kicks ass. I WANNNNNT ! (to quen and mich, if you guys want to order tees, TELL ME !) Arrested Development is hilarious but I've run out of Scrubs to watch. So I'm starting on Friends. I can't watch the australia vs singapore match at the national stadium with ahloy tomorrow. ): I hope he's not too emo.. Have to go to my brother's concert. Cleaned out my closet just now, it took almost 3 hours rawrr.

Have been having VERY DISTURBING dreams. The most disturbing one was about dating a guy I eventually had to break up with. And the guy was totally not my type and very sticky (and I actually know that person) so it was a nightmare actually. The mildest dream had the bigman in it though I can't remember what he did. Then suddenly imoan was auditioning me and I was totally singing the wrong thing. Then for some weird reason I was visiting terrence and he lived in a one bedroom apartment. His ragdoll was a black cat (much like yt's) and his shihtzu, a west highland white. Which was odd. Because we were late for some choir related outing, he suggested taking a shortcut which involved going down some chute (not unlike the kind for rubbish with the metal hatch and all). MY DREAMS ARE FREAKY RIGHT. Rah. Something is obviously not right with my subconscious. Lols.

Anyhoo, am still missing play. ): I want to meet up with 3305 (the mcp (lols) guys included), sooks and the juniors before uni starts. It's weird calling them the juniors because somehow to me it feels as if they don't qualify as friends, as equals. Although I not all of them I am close to.
Couldn't get tickets to the syf closing ceremony, humbug.

I hope the piano exam's in september and that I meet my july goals. =/

Frick, of all the days to be fucking stupid, weak willed and irresistant. Damn I hate kbox.

Am in a very omgwtf angry mood now.

Times like these I am tempted to do a whole multitude of things that ACTUALLY MERITS being angry. Like going clubbing, getting drunk, running away from home, wasting money like no one's damn business, being freaking ass rebellious.

Fucking stupid. One of the things I usually think I'm not is what I was today. Dammit.

I shall take myself shopping tomorrow. I think. Hurhur. I want a mario t-shirt. Tribute to Play!. Hahaha.

The bad news is that graces can't go to kl because her dad hurt himself. I really hope he's fine. ): But now we can't spend time with her. Sadness. ): I really hope qua can go !

Am exhausted but I did so enjoy hanging out with sharon and yizhen (to use facebook, friendster and youtube on db's laptop. I didn't have much time so people who got comments should count themselves fortunate !). Having a (failed) lianzy/joa's belated outing was with jiayi and joa was fun too. We're such frivolous people ! Hurhur.

I see myself spending a lot on back to school shopping before the gst hike. Lols. What a lame excuse. I just bought 4 books I could've borrowed. Rah, I hate being an impulse buyer.

Oh and I saw keying on the train. I had an interesting chat with her. Why does everyone think I should've done lit ? Haha. I just am too lazy and easily distracted to plow through fiction that doesn't grip me. And I don't deny that I have trouble reading classics and period works. Also, I think I'm just lazy to dissect lit texts. When reading, I don't really like to dig very much deeper for meaning.

The weather now is fab. I love being indoors when it's really pouring cats and dogs and you can feel the wisps of a breeze.

Haha. Am tired. But interesting day I had.

1. WE'RE GOING TO KL BABY ! 1st to 4th July ! The depressing part ? The absence of qua, sally, jema and kiki. ): Oh and the fact that they are all going to run off to ride inverters and such whilst poor xunny has to put up with me, the rollercoaster-phobe.

2. Cut my hair ! It's not bad though I don't really like love it yet.

3. Amadeus prac ! (I totally felt mopey whilst on 14 from tanah merah. I miss play! and aloy, xiaokai, gwei and eugene ): ) Songs were all pretty tough. I am not good at sight singing. BOOOO. ): I can't move about in tones, thirds and octaves anymore. I'm too accustomed to semitones, yikes. Auguries of Innocence was more like Auguries of Torture. Friend was really sad but it sounds nice. Do not stand is okay I suppose..

4. Someone had this ridiculous idea that we should learn hiphop from some amadeus member after prac. So we learn to do 8 counts of weird dancing from this guy. All I can say is ohmygahhhd, stop doing body waves !!!! LOLS. I so cannot do them ! And anyway, the most hilarious part is gtc himself. His actions were hilarious and he was just as interested in laughing at us as learning the moves. Haha, he's a mad dude..

5. Something random. Instead of saying the transformers' tagline, 'robots in disguise', I said 'machines in disguise'. Lols, I'm cracking up at myself. Machines disguised as MACHINES. A microwave IS a microwave, haha.

6. I've finished watching scrubs 6 on tvlinks. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!! Depressing.

7. Quote of the day: Finding emo. -GTC.

Talking to zkai only serves to remind me how stupid I've become. It seems that I've forgotten everything econs related. I think it's no different for history and geography yikes. ):

I came across this re-reading my entries:

'I forgot to mention also that on saturday, ttoh was very very DRUNK. He was wearing a shirt that said 'drunk' and was acting like some pedo-homo-frog-cat thing. I don't know. Haha, nessa and I just kept laughing at him. But yeah, I like practices with him. They're light hearted but we learn things as well..'

HAHA.

And oh man, I was really quite emo last year, lols. It's great that I'm much closer to pten now. I really hope it lasts.

The combination of analyst and therapist: Analrapist

LOLSSS. Since I'm almost done with season 6 of scrubs, I've progressed to other sitcoms. The above is from Arrested Development (it's really hilarious). I've also tried My Name is Earl and I only managed to watch one episode of The Office (the US version.. I love steve carell !). Couldn't open anything from one tree hill and whose line is it anyway. ):

Am finished with Icy Sparks and will try to complete Toni Morrison's Paradise. I also watched Howl's Moving Castle. It's pretty nice though a mite complicated. Although nothing beats Spirited Away still. I finally went to mango to check out their sale. Saw a nice yellow skirt ($29) but settled for barbie pink shorts ($23) instead. I have a thing for shorts. Now I just want to visit thrift places ! Haha.

The good news for quen, marx and graces is that xunny can go to kl ! Which means that I'll go and mich will go and grace can go and marx and quen are elated. Hahaha. I just hope it'll be a swell trip. We're going to get our coach tickets tomorrow. I have no idea how we're going to book our accomodation though. Amadeus prac tomorrow ! Should be interesting. Although siglap's just going to remind me about play. -mopes. I know, it's been a week and I'm still not over it. Sigh.

Okay, I'll be proud of dj soon because he's going to don a khaki beret in guards recce. Or whatever. Hahah yes yes I'm a typical girl because typical girls only gush about ocs boys. School starts in less than 48 hours for my dears and I'm re-reading my june 06 posts. Lols, at least they don't have the world cup to distract them. And most of the j2s aren't going to pattaya. Anyhoo, I can't believe that we're almost SIX WHOLE MONTHS into 2007. Before you know it, it'll be christmas. Man.. Scary..

I'm done with The Jane Austen Book Club as well as Borges and the Eternal Orang Utans. Haha. But I didn't meet the stalkers for badminton today ): Bad cramps. Such a stupid reason to stay indoors.

Apparently even the bigman is suffering from PLAY! withdrawal, lols. ARGH WHY MUST I BE YOUTUBE DEPRIVED ! -SULKS MAJORLY. I keep thinking about Lost Odyssey, I don't know why though haha.

QUA & CHERR please please change your layout so I can read your blog !

It turns out qua can't go to KL. ): ): ): Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. ): I really hope xunny can go.. I really don't want to be the 5th wheel (and besides, I don't like theme parks) but if I don't go, Mich might not go. If mich doesn't go, grace cannot go. If grace cannot go, waising will be sad. And quen will be super depressed. So I suppose er, alot is riding on xunny now ? Lols. Sigh. I don't like being put in this spot but I don't want a situation where I regret forking out 300 bucks. I'm not saying that it's something that will happen for sure but I don't really want to take the risk. (especially since savings account currently contains an amount close to that which I had before I even earned any money at all =/) Sigh.

I feel like buying a lot of things and then I feel like I don't want anything at all. It's a curious feeling. I suppose it comes from having to spend my own money. I'm currently reading Icy Sparks (I've been wanting to for a long time) by Gwyn Hyman Rubio. Am also waiting for my tvlinks to load. Ho hum.

I suppose I would rather be alone than to feel out of place amongst a crowd. That's just me. I don't like to feel obligated. I've learnt that one can survive without constant attention from others but of course it is not a situation that I can sanely remain in for long.

Public transport pet peeves. #1. Public displays of affection. Distasteful. Exhibitionistic. #2. People rushing aboard before others get the chance to alight. Plain discourtesy. Selfish. #3. Blasting music (and it's not Ok Go or anything) and subjecting poor commuters to Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend and the like. Selfish. I've noticed that it's stereotypical behaviour. Anyhoo, they really should get a life. Sometimes I wish I could just blast Water Night into their faces.

I've read some reviews of Play on blogs. Lols, one person said that the orchestra and chorus left much to be desired. I'm very prickly and I suppose un-receptive when it comes to criticism but I've learnt (also) not to pay too much heed to those who are not authorities on the subject. It's all well and good coming from the conductor but if you're part of the minority naysayers then -shrugs. I'm not too bothered. I've read somewhere too that we looked like typical lians and bengs. HAHAHA. Judging from the physical appearances of what I can remember of the chorus, I'd say there's some (say.. about 30% maybe ? haha) truth in it. But even though I baulked slightly at the comment, I was mostly amused haha.

I watched Stranger than Fiction. Funny how everyone seems to be mumbling on vcd. I've grown too dependent on english subtitles for the hearing impaired. I like Will Ferrell. Especially when he was in The Anchorman, haha. I got two ghibli movies but subtitles are in chinese. I hope I can decipher them ! Hurhur.

My posts lack substance. Then again, I've never intended them to be a very high intellectual standard. I'm just trying to refrain from being OVERLY fluffy. Methinks. In the meantime, I have fat arms and am still mopey. ):

I think that when I smile I seem to have an overbite. Hmmms. Pten outing today missed sally (malaysia) and xunny (law fac camp). We had dinner at the funan foodcourt (omg, change of venue ! haha) discussed plans for kiki's return as well as the kl trip. PLEASE LET XUNNY AND QUA COME !!!! Haha. There were some kids playing with the interactive display thing. Mich and I were so tempted ! But the other two tried to distract us away. ): We decided to sit by the river near the esplanade park where we had a wonderful partial view of the shenton way skyline. The nice part is how were discussing deep topics like gp and aspirations and our family background and stuff. Mmmms.. (:

Oh, and I was feeling all mopey because the esplanade was in plain view and watching it twinkle reminded me of play. Rah. Overdue photos ! Should've taken more though. ):


Glamour shot ! Zkai's a total closet camwhore haha but he's not a fantastic photographer. =X

The screen near the stage entrance. I totally should've gotten pickboys to record. =X

Beautiful sixth floor rehearsal studio. I loved it when we were the only ones there in the quiet.

I love the dressing rooms. (: Eugene was totally biatched up and diva-ing when I took this. Gw and zk had to bear the brunt of it haha.

See what I mean ? I love tall ceilings and unobstructed views.

My attempted artistic shot of ahloy would've been nicer if he were smiling. Darn.

In the only lift that goes to the 6th floor. TH3 if I'm not mistaken. And the nonexistent secret elevator (it was just the big 4th floor elavator) and how we were tricked by hakluen ! Lols...

The ajcharter with chongping and xuhao. (omgahhd, just reminds me of how I'm always going to pangseh gw when we mistakenly say something to lxh haha) And OMGAHHHHDDD THE PERSON IN THE BACKGROUND LOOKS FAMILIAR ! -turns around. Haha, nudges gw.

With the poor emo organist ! Eugene's eyes are closed (nyahh ! tsk =X) and you can see aloy in the reflection)

With the perpetually enthused takenobu ! HAHA DAYTONAAAA ! 'I'll be singing 'Let's Go Away' but please don't go away !'

With the ahs kids and the one notorious for flirting and abusing people verbally. =X


With Maestro Arnie Roth :D He's undoubtedly the best looking in this picture despite beads of sweat literally rolling off his forehead. Eugene's eyes are closed again. So are nad's. Tsk. That photographer, lols.

***

I regret buying the digital metronome. Graces has a traditional one. So do jiemin, xiaokang and pong. RAWWWR. I should've thought about asking them sooner and waiting for their replies. Yikes. Sigh. Piano tomorrow. Am still displeased because haven't had the time to work on C. Badmintonning too at bedok, mmms.

Am still mopey about play (I try to conduct 7-8 to myself and I still hear castlevania, warcraft and the beeeeg drums in my head) and am currently smitten with anyone who is talented in an instrument apart from the piano. (I mean seriously, everyone can play the piano. Lots of people can play it fabulously too. No big deal. And I can't even achieve mediocrity. Sigh.)

Al is very nice to talk to. Even though I talk to him once in a blue blue moon. Lols, my eye candies are all fading in sweetness.

I'm still very mopey now that play is over, lols. I got even more so when I saw a shop in tiong bahru plaza selling Blue Dragon (featuring compositions by the fabulous Nobuo Uematsu). And gw !!! Your camera quality in the crucial arnie roth shot is quite bad ! ): And there are people with closed eyes. -turns around to look. I knew we couldn't trust that guy to be the photographer. HAHAHA.

Didn't go for the choir farewell in the end. I suppose because no other j3 went so it'd be kinda weird if I crashed seeing as how I'm not as close to the j1s as the j4s were close to the j2s (mostly because of wcg). So I spent today walking around tiongbahru with my mother and sleeping and watching weird hongkong shows like To Get Unstuck In Time and some korean one about baseball. Oh, I've finished The Invisible Circus. It's quite good.. Makes you think about existence and co-dependence. Am reading The Jane Austen Book Club now. It's quite a recent book so it was a really rare find in the amk library. I couldn't help but borrow it despite Toni Morrison and an Oprah's Book Club recommendation already lying untouched. I also couldn't stop myself from borrowing David Sedaris' Holidays on Ice. (:

See what I mean about life returning to normal ? -mopes.

It turns out I'm not going for the fass camp. Am feeling rather anti-social (read: poor & LAZY). Kiki's coming back which will be fun but graces is leaving. And school starts in approximately 1.5 months OMGAHHHHHDDDDD I haven't played enough !!!! ): Rahh. And I'm VERY annoyed with self because I haven't practised. A & B are improving but C and my scales ? Nowhere. Sigh.

Mopes mopes.

(it's not often that I indulge myself. haha. but I couldn't help it ! I couldn't wear my sister's teeeny Mario shirt in honour of play! so I just took a picture, haha)


Extremely lengthy and rather descriptive post ahead.

It all started with innocent msn conversations with Gwei and Zkaii. They were telling me about PLAY! A Video Game Symphony and how they were going to join the Vocal Consort to be part of the chorus. I found the concept totally cool (it reminded me of our concert second half.. the FF pieces except better cos I got the chance to sing with an orchestra and not just a string quartet like the buxtehude performance) and they said they needed altos. Zk initially asked xianhui but she declined. So I immediately contacted Sherlyn to ask her SL whether I could join. I tell you, when she told me that there was space I was overjoyed. Little did I know how fantastic the experience would be. By an interesting coincidence, Ahloy also joined the chorus. Cicillia and zhenkai too but he dropped out and Eugene replaced him. I thought I had to audition for it (I mean, it is a big thing.. the Asian Premiere and all) but despite what I perceived as an angry glare from the bigman, I didn't have to. So yep, we made up the aj charter of the chorus.

I think it's just me but I always enjoyed the Siglap South CC pracs. (as with buxtehude last time) From the sectionals to the combined pracs, I looked forward to them all. I suppose it was also because I had a lot of time on my hands though the parents weren't too pleased. But yeah.. There were also the lunches (and virtual tennis =_=) and dinners and ICE CREAMS that made things fun. I got to know some very nice vc people (huiyin, michelle, tabitha, ruhui.. first row altos!) though not very well. ): Nad and Szemun were also involved as part of nuschoir and it was nice to see them.. Towards the end Terrence joined also so it was quite interesting..

The past week was PLAY! week with rehearsals almost every day and finally the performances. The vch run was scary but we were reassured when we met Arnie Roth on weds at the Esplanade. It was a real thrill being able to rehearse with the Singapore Festival Orchestra proper. I got to watch some of the videos here and there too, hurhur. Oh, we had our daily warmup sessions in the beautiful 6th floor rehearsal studio. (:

But yeah, I was glad I was pulled to the first row. Even though I didn't get to get excited over bets with ahloy and zk or watch the videos like eugene, I was smack behind the trumpets and I developed quite an affinity for them. (at first I felt I was going deaf but I got used to it haha) There were three trumpeters- japanese guy (#1) with BEEEEG hair (until he cut it for the concert) who was very encouraging, tubby fellow (#2) and rather quiet tall goatee guy (#3). It was nice because I didn't have to count those hundreds of bars for some pieces. I would just peep at their scores. And I've grown to love the trumpet solos. (: It's also really nice that after they each do solos or difficult parts they credit each other by patting their knees. The poor jap man was so disappointed with himself.. So sad. ): A woman trombonist sits on his left and beside her is another trombonist whose profile reminds me of zhanyong, haha. Apparently they were trying to spread some joke before the concert started on the first night haha, it's quite funny how adults can behave just like us. (then again, chongping is an old man too =X) I also think the percussion people are really cool. The poor timpanist who got chided alot, the sullen one with big ears =X, the jock-ish main percussionist, the only woman (who looked quite young) and the fantastically enthusiastic drummer (and bongo guy for some pieces) who reminds me of uncle gpt. LOLS. I suppose it was because all these people were the only ones I could properly see when I was not singing that I felt a certain affinity for them. Haha.

It's not only singing with the SFO that made the experience special. It definitely wasn't the videos for me. I suppose only the audience (and some of the first violins who were peeping) could properly enjoy it. For me, one of the two elements that defined this experience was Arnie Roth. I mean, I've never been conducted by a jovial, encouraging old man (almost sixty) with a ponytail who had to simultaneously guide the orchestra. Man was it interesting. There were quite a few times when he forgot to cue us to stand or to come in. I suppose the orchestra was already worrying him (sweating profusely, poor man..) so when we stood immediately and all that he gave us this grateful smile or mouthed that we were good :D And I tell you, despite so many many many grave mistakes, he was very sweet and encouraging. To be able to work under such a wonderful, talented man.. It was really a once in a lifetime opportunity. (:

Another element that still lingers: the MUSIC. I tell you, the compositions we did are FABULOUS. I mean, I've never heard of most of it but wow.. To hear it put together with the choir, the organ and the orchestra, in its full reverberating glory in the concert hall is nothing short of breathtaking. Just listening to the music was thrilling and singing the fast passages gave me this exhilirating rush. Castlevania is super dance-able (haha). I love the flute-oboe (clarinet ?? not sure..) duet and the strings and the super fast organ part. And I love our F 'ha's (: Really exciting to sing those and change chords. AHHHH. And I love the strings in One Winged Angel. The drumset and mambo (according to pickboys) part in Metal Gear Solid totally kicks ass. Shenmue, Kingdom Hearts and Chronocross (purely orchestral pieces) were wonderful as well. I like the second page of Oblivion and have grown to like the violin solo that sounds pretty cheena haha. Our [(quaver rest HA!) X 7 -TO !] x 6 in Dancing Mad is always an interesting challenge.. Ahhhh, I just wish I could have our recordings though nothing is going to help us relive it all over again perfectly. Because of the fab music, I feel very inspired to play the games and take up another instrument, haha. Although both remain to be seen.

It's not like we didn't screw up. I'm very proud to say that the huge mix of us from as young as 14 to as er aged as 40plus (I THINK. HAHA.) from so many different places (nuschoir, vc, aj, tpjc, ahs) and from different walks of life (conductors turned choristers.. chongping, xuhao, hakluen..) did ourselves proud. We actually improved through the performances and the last one was really us singing until our lungs gave out. Haha. Our friday one was a disaster. Complete with out of sync 'ha-to's, not coming in for the 4th page of oblivion and embarrassing ourselves by standing when really mr roth was cueing the musicians. But we managed to redeem ourselves on saturday. (: It was good because we made a conscious effort to not make the same mistakes..

There were definitely many lighthearted moments. The ever so wonderfully enthusiastic Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (I think that's his name ? lols), composer of Shenmue and Daytona music. His vibrant shouts of DAYTONAAAA LET'S GO AWAYY hahah and his throwing of the Sonic toy (we were betting on which section of the audience he threw towards). Then there's the times when we were camwhoring (the few of us having the rehearsal studio to ourselves was fab :D) and being totally amused by the at times very biatchy diva, eugene (who kept pinching the water and even wanted to charge his laptop because they didn't provide dinner. he kept asking if there was going to be a reception -_-). There were also many attempts at creating a chord whilst waiting backstage and the zk mantra, 'turn around before you want to bitch about someone'. =X Lols. Oh and camwhoring with the poor emo organist, haha.

I don't think I've ever heard so many shouts for an encore. And this is the first time I've witnessed standing ovations :D It doesn't matter if the reviews suck (which by the way, they don't. HAHA. I've read many blogs and alot of people really enjoyed it.), I really really enjoyed myself and I'm really glad that I had the chance to accompany the orchestra under maestro Arnie Roth to sing fantabulous music. It's funny how so many people were reluctant to join or were thinking of quitting halfway when I on the other hand was dying to commit the moment I heard about it. But it all worked out great for all of us in the end.

It's a real pity I didn't get to take photos with the orchestra people. Especially the drummer, the principal violinist and violist (buxtehude tourguide) and most of all, the first trumpeter right smack in front of me. I still remember how on the last night when we were walking off the stage, he turned around, showed us two thumbs up, grinned broadly and said BRAVO. (: So I suppose that's why I'm a little defensive of the fella even though the rest complained that his solos squawked a few times. Like what gw said, I didn't realise how tired I was until it was all over. Rehearsing and meeting every day for five days as well as every sunday for a month. But for me, it was all more than worth it.

You know, all I wish now is that we could all put up a few more performances. This is the first time I'm performing more than one night only. (with the exception of carolling) It's funny but I'm not tired of it. I don't want it to end. It really makes me think about how full time musicians and performers feel. I don't know if I'll be able to hold out but right now under the given circumstances, I'm more than willing to do so. 3 sold out concerts. Give us 5 ! Mann.. (THANK GOD I'm not taking exams this year and they chose to come heh) As much as I'd like to believe otherwise, PLAY! is something that's probably never going to happen again.. (if they come back next year maybe I'll retract my statement haha)

My parents aren't too happy because they have to ferry me to siglapsouth every week and I'm not 'getting anything out of this'. I assume they mean money wise. But what they just cannot understand is that the satisfaction, the experience, the thrill and the pleasure coming out of this is priceless. I've participated in two purely voluntary choral events and I have no regrets taking part. I suppose that's why I'm singing again for another concert and jumping at opportunities to perform. It's a challenge and I just know that it's something I want to be doing for a long time. It's also sad in a way that all good things (and bad things too I suppose) must come to an end. It's both a boon and a bane for performers. Each project won't last forever. I'm still trying very hard to hold on to the essence of PLAY!, trying my darndest to replay the moments in my head. The feeling on stage, arnie roth's apologetic smile, the mazes of the esplanade, the trumpet solo, the echos of our chords in the rehearsal studio.. It's sad. ): As with every other choral event/experience, I know the feeling's going to go away, lives will return to normal and soon it will be a dusty and vague (and thin) chapter in my life. Suffering from Play! withdrawal ayes.. ):

But for now I'm going to let it linger. I'm trying to savour every last moment and relish every single detail. (hence the rather descriptive post) It doesn't help that I can't access youtube for the music and we can't get the recordings. I suppose the strains constantly on repeat in my mind will have to do.

PLAY! A Video Game Symphony.

:D :D :D

-BEAMS.

I'm missing it already :(

Quick update amidst the rehearsal exhaustion.

1. Managed to be updated on the pten outing I missed just this wednesday. HAHAH. UNMA. Pronounced ooh-nn ma. Not uhh-nn ma. But nyahhh, qua and mich, you both shall not run away ! We give you options no ? Hurhur.

2. HILARIOUS incident involving gwei (actually me included but I didn't say anything =X) saying bye to supposedly terrence but eventually (cos aforementioned was on his cell) a very confused and apprehensively waving lohxuhao ! HAHAHA.

3. Uncle chongping has a very nice sports car. It's just kinda difficult to fit 4 of us and a giant (read: eugene) into a 2 door car.

4. Pepper lunched and Shrek 3-ed with jlow, trina, sk and cherr ! Hurhur. Didn't spend a lot of time with them though. ): But we're badmintonning next week ! Heh.

5. I SAW AL AGAIN !!!! He was busking outside taka with some other string ensemble people. He was playing his cello with shades on ! And he looked really cool. Hurhur. I was shyyyyy. So after that, I just told myself it was going to be a good day hurhur.

6. I FOUND EYE CANDY ! Okay actually I already spotted him at vch on tuesday but I've yet to take a proper look. So he's still potential eye candy ? Lols. But only until saturday. SAD. And no gwei, it's not the 30plus drummer (you know you might be wrong cos you said the fake cool harpist HAHA was the oldest person in consort). He plays the violin. (:

7. A related point, I LOVE THE DRUMSET (not the drummer) ~! AHHH, PERCUSSION ! And THE STRINGS !!! Omgahhhhh. I feel like taking up another instrument once I'm done with the piano =X (not that I'll ever be done because I suck at it and I'll be repeating grade 8 foreverrrrrrrrrr)

8. I know I've said this before but I'll say it again. My three favourite PLAY! songs: Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid and Halo :D

9. Dancing Mad was very screwed up. =/

***

I hope everything goes swimmingly well tomorrow. (: I've finished Scrubs 5 (MAJOR BOOHOO HOO HOO) and all the magnum ice creams. ): ): ): I need to get a thin belt hmmms. Why is it that no one else but gw and I think that the performance (at the esplanade no less) merits a huuuge camwhoring session ? Meep. HAHAH. We totally have a plan to grab anyone of importance related to the festival and include them in a picture. Hurhur.

Was exhausted after the read through with the orchestra yesterday. Don't know why though. It ended at 8ish and I had a nice walk past the supreme court and was treated to the shenton way skyline at night. (: I like unobstructed views.

PAHHH. The family is going to malaysia without me because of the concert. But oh wells, I can go across the causeway anytime ! Except it'll totally be burning my pockets.

Anyhoo, a huge THANK YOU to QUEN the crazy owl for getting Scrubs season 5 for me ! Perfecto !!! Apart from the retarded subtitles. Hurhur. And and, yayy thanks for the sakae treat AHLOY. (: Just when I was craving for sushi too. Enjoy your date ! Haha.. I really am grateful for those two being at the receiving end of my whinging about seven. Lols.

I just love singing with the orchestra. Though I'm quite appalled by our entries, our ha-ha in FFVI: Dancing Mad and how most of the time we can't be heard. =X Lols. But yeah ! It really rocks just listening to them PLAY! (haha pun intended). I especially love the strings and the percussion. And, I so totally love Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid ! AHHHH ! :D Runs around happily. It's especially exhilirating to sing the ha!s for the former and the music's just great for the latter. I saw two of the guys who accompanied us at the amadeus buxtehude performance. Tour guide floral shirt guy (viola) and guy with small eyes who looks like he's from China but probably not (violin) lols. Anyway, I'm looking forward to rehearsal tonight with arnie roth. (:

Disturbia. To say the least. Haha. Still trying to shake it off.

Had a horrid nightmare involving my old house being burgled, me calling the police, two guns and me ending up (for some horrible God knows what reason) shooting my dog. RAHHH. Goodness, I'm always having such nightmares. ):

ALMOST. Wry. It was a close shave. You know it's interesting but something compelled me not to do it. Divine intervention maybe, haha.

TODAY WAS A SPONGEBOB-ISH DAY !!!! Spongebobish equals to flustered and feeling totally omgahhhhddddd. Hahaha. Mich and I were going nuts flapping our hands about. HA HA HAHA. -laughs in a cantonese-y way.

Key points of today. Passed xiany some geog notes, accompanied db at yck cc whilst she waited for cherr and andrea, played air hockey with qs, mich and sally (my team won twice yay; quen is very violent, I'm talking flying pucks), played bridge, daidee, dummy bridge and stress, headed to heeran and felt SPONGEBOBISH haha, met grace and ws at bugis where we watched the guys play foosball (and lost MISERABLY thanks to the ever so violent and pro because he has nothing else to do qs).

POTSDAM-ED !

Haha. Interesting. I love pten. I miss jema and kiki. ): I hope qua is feeling better and xunny isn't rotting as she's being confined. It's interesting that we're all growing up. Our last year as a teen (except for sally haha). Maturity. But at the moment, in tiny doses. We should always have deep conversations.

***

You know, it dawned upon me just now. That the whole reason was to get back for the hurt caused. Yeah, sounds like DENIAL. Then the mopey emo phase gave way to the angry I want to hurt things phase. Haha. Well I think I'm getting over that phase. Because I just want to delete everything and not be angry anymore. Doesn't mean that everything will go back to normal. Things don't change. It's just that I'll be more at peace with myself I suppose.

Because I'm better than that.

It's not about pride. It's about maturity.

It's about being able to handle things out of one's control. And facing what was never there in the first place. Surviving, coming out stronger. I suppose cynicism is just a horrid side effect. But things happen for a reason. I don't think I've ever asked God why it had to turn out this way. I don't think I'm absolved of the blame but let's face it, I'm not the one who didn't try to fix things. It's just going to be left like that.

***

Enough. (:

Hahah, I AM A SEXY CACTUS. I am also definitely underrated and smarter than I look. Everyone who begs to differ is just jealous and/or ugly. Right small one ? And seventeen is drunk. He's quite hot okay. But he belongs to the bigman already, haha.

Sally reminded me of something when I was looking at her handphone charm.

Black. Sin.
White. The purity of Jesus. That which we are not.
Red. Blood of Christ.
Blue. The washing of our sins.
Green. Our newness.
Gold. Perfection. (I don't really know how to describe this)

I want a kabuki top ! Meep. This is bad. My pocket is bleeding dry. Rahh.

HAHAHA. Damn, I am good. But don't hurt yourself in the process please.

I got the amadeus scores today. Am worried. Lols, modern pieces are not the easiest because you can't just fit a note in a chord. And I don't know how to play triplets. AHHHH. Omgahhhh. I think it should be quite cool when we meet the orchestra for play!.

Meh. I can't seem to get through Aldous Huxley. Boo. It's confusing, I don't get it. We should really settle the KL thing soon. Meow, I feel like having dimsum. Dim sum is awe-sum.

Exhausted. Xiaolongbaos and guodie. Maroon 5's It Won't Be Soon Before Long, thanks to my father. Black pants for play!. Yayy. (: New library books too. It's just that I won't get to watch Capote. Too tired, meh. And and, parents are quite agreeable with KL ! WOOOOTS !!! Haha, they were even suggesting hotels to stay in. Hoho. We'll see how it goes ayes.

Cherr said that I'm acting rich. Haha, I think so too. Am very poor ! Meh. I feel quite happy now. (despite dwindling finances) Because of a few little things here and there. It's interesting how the little things can affect one's mood. The butterfly effect. (:

BLESSED 19TH BIRTHDAY MICHELLE !

You are ALIIIIIIIIIVEE !!! :D Stay retarded and random and giggly and wonderful always my dear friend for almost a decade ! (that's a candle in a tub of ice cream by the way)


Mich's picnic chest ! With her comic and the fooooood (including raisins, bananas, CHICKEN, burnt caramel ice cream.. no buns though). We had it at fort canning, complete with rain, ferns and A FAILED SURPRISE THINGY ! RAHHHHHHH. Haha. We are so bad at this.

I tell you, the whole day was quite a rollercoaster ride. With qua being late (poor quen) and me being later (poor qua and quen). Then the whole dilemma about what to buy and total shortage of moolah. Then our wonderful (sorry qua !) lunch at ikea. (: Mmm, meatballs. Then our GIANT VIRGIN trip. Lols. Then hunting around centrepoint for island creamery and lugging the stuff around. Then much satisfaction until we saw the rain. RAWWWR. Then multiple changes in the plan and getting annoyed and tired and headachy. Then going with the gut feeling to go to the park. Then the rain again. Hahaha. The Holy Gate and the Holy Cow. Oh and not forgetting the Pagoda of Happiness/Light/Goodness/Whathaveyou. The whole thing turned out wonderful though ! :D Thank God. Except for our failed surprise, lols.

So we just played cards and tried to force each other to bring home the desolate rejected chicken. (which ended up with me thanks to my SEVENty one points in golf hmphs) It was a real pity sally couldn't be there, poor girl. ): I hope she's not overly stressed out ! Then we just random-ed around and finally headed over to the arcade for one game of daytona (eh ! I think I am not bad ! was 1st, 5th, 1st then 4th, so sad haha).

Anyways, I wanted to say something but I can't remember what hmmms. Piano tomorrow. SAD FACE. ): Zzzt. But PLAY! week is coming. (: And and, I'm happy. HAHAHA. Nonsensical but who cares hurhur, today turned out to be pretty good. Praise God !

Oh, just remembered. Hrk put this on his blog.

and to my jc class girls who never fail to last minute abandon our outings or turn up late....

FARNIEEEE ! WAHAHAHAH ! Sorry hrk.. Thanks for always coming and being so punctual :D

Some colourgenics test. True, mostly. I think. Haha.

You work hard, seeking success. You are self-sufficient and in spite of all the trials and tribulations that have beset you in the past you carry on regardless.. You are one to be admired because you pursue your objectives single-mindedly and with initiative. You know that you can 'do it' and what is more, you will - without necessarily being dependent upon the goodwill of others.

You are looking for something different. Your imagination has been working overtime and you are seeking adventure - and you'd like to share that adventure, the new experience, with someone like yourself: Imaginative, Enthusiastic and Sensitive.

You are very demanding - and insisting on total involvement but you do not reciprocate with the same depth of feeling. However, it could well be that maybe an unprecedented surprise is awaiting you in the near future. For just as one whilst paddling in the sea, could flounder into a whirlpool, so you may be drawn into a loving situation that has high emotional demands - and you could well respond with a depth of emotion that you never even dreamed that you possessed.

Presently, you are experiencing stress because of restriction on your independence. You need and seek respect from other people and it is essential that they appreciate you for yourself and not for what they would like you to be. You have your own beliefs and convictions and you would like to be respected for them. You are anxious to avail yourself of every opportunity that may come your way but nevertheless, come what may, you have the need to control your own destiny without imposed limitations or restrictions.

You are trying to build up your own position and you resist all external influences. You insist that you are your own person and you will not tolerate any outside interference. Decisive and proud, you are true managerial material.

TODAY WAS A GREAT DAY BEAMS :D

Just a snippet of my close to hundred shots of beloved Cedar. (: I can't believe they're going to tear down parts of the building. ): It's barely 11 years old ! And beautiful and clean and conducive for studying..

But it was great great great going back. Even though absent was the essence of the school (ie. the cedarians), the whole place was thick with memories. And I love it even when it's quiet.

***

YAYY FOR DB AND HER GREAT IDEAS ! (: Even though we didn't badminton today (cherr's having exams), we reminisced, took a gazillion photos, wrote notes and laughed like crazy at some hilarious pose among other things..

We went shopping around ps after a late (I can't believe we stayed at cedar from almost 12 to 3ish) pasta mania lunch. I'm so glad I didn't buy the $18 top from potpourri. I found two great tops at future state for 18 bucks ! Wheee ! And it wasn't sized extra small or anything ! Hurhur. And one of the blouses actually did catch my eye way before the gss. Hoho. Mmms, totally makes up for snakeskin flesh imp bag costing seventy bucks. Yay, shall find a reason to wear it soon.

We headed to amk hub to get db's tote. I should've gotten a fruity yoghurt. Hmm. Oh, and we realised we could use the display phone at one of the telco shops to actually call people ! Cos it rang and could receive messages, haha. Anyhoo, just as I predicted, we met #17 and #16. HAHAHAHHAHA. Darn, we should've played there longer. Oh wells. (:

Meeting pten tomorrow whoop dee doo ~! And the two singhs have come down to enjoy the sale haha. AND ONE OF THEM HAS MY DVDs !!!! Hurrah ! Hurhur. Trala, I shall enjoy the moment and not expect anything. Reduces glum-ness, lols. Just watched The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys. It's good !! But quite sad at one point. Mmms, this is the life mans. How fortunate. Just my luck heh. If only everyday was like today. At this point, life is quite good. (:

I watched 7 episodes of scrubs, I had cereal for breakfast, tea and supper, and quenn got me season 5 ! WAHAHAHHAH LIFE ROCKS ! What a cure for glumness. Thanks ah siao ! :D And uncle gpt extracted a funny video (which I've yet to watch) and sent it to me on msn just because I can't watch youtube ! So sweet ! (nessa you got a pretty good deal ! hurhur =X) Why is it all the nice guys are either younger or malaysian ? Lols.

I don't disdain you. In fact, it's quite the opposite. I dain you !

HAHAHA. Scrubs. :D But now I'm annoyed because mozilla screwed up and closed just as my 4 windows had just about buffered 70% each. -fumes silently. There's nothing better than american sitcoms and honey stars on a warm wednesday afternoon.

I want Maroon 5's latest album, It Won't Be Soon Before Long. Does anyone else think Adam Levine is pretty darn hot ? (: Hurhur.


He's coding, get me a box of kittens stat !
-happy music, dying man's heartbeat returns to normal.

HAHAHAHA. Scrubs makes me happy. I've got the temporary cure for glumness. Although mozilla closing every once in a while is a pain in the backside. Scowls.

I couldn't meet them today. ): Sigh. But at least I'm feeling better.

Just watched The Usual Suspects. I totally didn't get most of it. The many names made it confusing. But I really like the twist at the end. Hurhur. Kevin Spacey rocks. He's so enigmatic and he has this interesting voice. I like ! Haha. Everyone should watch LA Confidential. I think I should re-watch American Beauty now that I'm a video ezy member haha.

Rahhh. Am very annoyed. You say it's my life. OH THE IRONY. Then why is it that you cannot stop reminding me that I am unemployed ? Yeah if you haven't noticed, it's my choice to be unemployed. It's not as if I totally haven't worked. Gahhh. Why why why is it that I can't enjoy myself ? I mean, this is probably one of the VERY FEW CHANCES left in my entire life that I get to slack totally obligation/responsibility free. WHY NOT GRANT ME THAT. I mean, once I'm out of uni, I'll have to start working. The beginning of the end of my life. Having to work for the rest of my life. Maybe it's just because I'm in an enviable position. Bahh. Whatever. Highly probably now that KL ain't happening.

And bloody, he wants to shift my online curfew up to 1130. Joy. Not that I can do much online anyway. But yayy, a good friend gave me a link that has proven itself entertaining, thanks bro. (:

CLARA :D

You know, I had a nightmare. That she tried to kill herself by jumping off the 4th floor at my old house and I had to call for an ambulance. CAN YOU SAY SCARY TIMES A MILLION !??!?! ): So sad and freaky. It's interesting how darlingsenior also blogged about her pet. I don't know mann.. I don't want to feel the pain of loss. The older and more worldly one gets, the deeper the hurt. Impressions last longer. It sounds selfish but I don't want to see people I love go before I do.

I still miss my grandfather a lot. Doing the Os and As, I had him in mind. And God of course. Both never failed to show me love and support. (not that my parents didn't but well maybe I should just say that those two, they spoil(t) me)

I don't know. I just watched the 10pm channel u show. Something important was brought up. About how death is something we can never evade. Memento mori. Remember you are mortal. Remember you will die. I suppose what I really fear is having to grieve because of regrets. Why do people mourn ? They do so not just because of the potential or bright future snuffed out but also because of the actions never accomplished, the words left unsaid, the forever lost forgiveness never to be meted out. We mourn because we regret. Because there is so damn much we can do for another mortal. What more a friend, a family member.

It is ironic that we need to be constantly reminded of how to live our lives. And by living our lives I don't just mean having dreams, owing it to ourselves to live life our way. I mean in terms of our treatment of those around us. Those we love and those who love us more than we know it. How often do we stop to examine our actions and attitudes towards the others who watch us grow and grow up with us ? Funny how it takes the loss of innocence time and again to remind us that we are only human. That one day the fate of death will claim us.

I find it awfully contradicting how I can derive paranoia from so many little things and yet I do not make more effort to appreciate what I have. I admit that. I am at a petrol station, I'm afraid I'll blow up. I'm walking down a flight of stairs, I'm afraid I'll fall and break my neck. I'm waiting for my sister to come back from malaysia, I'm afraid I'll receive news that the coach she took swerved off a slope. Point is, I'm not making the most of everything that's getting to me. I'm not fighting my fears back. Maybe it's because it's so me that I've become complacent.

I'm sounding very morbid now. Hmms.

Oh yes, and another thing. I find that I am better at speaking than doing. It disturbs me that I am not creating something more concrete, more substantial as a form of reassurance. You can't call them measures that will help me get over the fears per se (I think it's just this innate paranoia, shrugs) but you can call them steps to lessen my regrets.

I don't think one can ever not be without regrets. It's something like prevention and cure. There is no cure. But measures to lessen the pain will help I guess.

***

I don't really know why I said all that. Sudden pang I felt. God must be trying to tell me something.

I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell.

Literally. I think it's food poisoning. Could be stomach flu. Who knows ? I feel weak and sluggish, mehh. I just thought of something. Is it better to be surprised and caught off guard or to be able to anticipate ? With regards to death. A sudden death versus a terminal disease. I suppose the latter gives one more time to regret and reflect and time to try to make amends. Then again, it also amounts to an outrageous dose of worrying and anticipation. ): Sigh.

Thanks mucho to the radish, adel and tmx for seeing me to the cab. It's amazing how I withstood the urge to puke throughout the journey lols. And thanks also to ahloyy for prescribing a visit to a chinese herbal place. Hurhur. (:

It was pretty fun that tmx and jq came over today and we watched john tucker must die haha. Other than that, I have piano tomorrow. Weeps. ): We'll see how things go ayes. I suppose this doesn't even come close to the time I had to abandon the 4i people at cine because I felt so weak I thought I was going to die. Lols. Didn't have the strength to walk or talk. Oh, and the time I thought I was about to go death in bangkok because the air pressure on my ears was squeezing my brains out. Ah wells. I'm leaving everything up to God.

Remember how I promised more eyecandy ? Hurhurhur.

Nigel Barker ! Like kiki says, the reason I watch next top model. =X Hahaha. He looks more sri lankan here..


Ryan McPartlin. He acted in Living with Fran (no wonder I found him familiar) and guest starred in Pepper Dennis which I just watched. Hoho.

***

I'm (as my good friend put it) glum. HAHA. The stupid browser isn't letting me view the choir photos page. Am annoyed. As if the lack of social networking sites isn't already killing me. GLARES.

I'm done with the book of short stories by truman capote. I liked it ! (: I'm on to one of milan kundera's now and I just borrowed something by huxley. It's not brave new world though. I also blew 25 bucks at video ezy. The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, Capote, The Usual Suspects, Match Point and John Tucker Must Die. Apparently jq and tmx are coming over tomorrow so we'll see what we can do, lols.

AM VERY BROKE ! ):

I bought myself shoes ! They're jellies like michelle's ! But I'm wondering now if I should've gotten a larger size hmms. My earring's found, thanks qua. (: But another stud (from thailand too) broke. GAH.

It's funny how I yearn (I think) to be more intellectual in thought but all I talk about is hopelessly random, mundane stuff that I will look back on and wonder how is it I was such a bimbo.

I'm the 8th gnome, glum-py. Haha. Dammit, I really should sort my notes. (I know, I've been telling myself that since january)

(And to those interested, I need to know asap (tuesday latest) whether you're joining amadeus for their concert. They need to order original scores and it'll set us back 30 bucks each. Prac remains at siglap, 3 to 6 every sunday)

Meh, I feel so unaccomplished. Not that I'd feel accomplish if I were able to tell everyone that I did admin or some office job for 3 months. At least I'd have money though. RAHHHHH. Robbing a bank or senior citizen seems to be in order. =X Lols. New computer screen is bright and wide and giving me aches in the head and neck. Eyes hurt too. Pbbfft.

I don't think I can sing for cultural night. =/ Because a decision was made about amadeus first (even though it's going to set me back 30 big ones, meh) and it's either-or because of upcoming piano exam which I must pass so help me God.

I am hungry. How un-unusual. Am in pms-y mood too. Wallows. Lols. I think it's time to go play at pasir ris park. Ooh, I want to watch fantastic 4 (even though I didn't catch the first one) and ocean's 13 ! Meow, who's with me ! Heh. Am dreaming about the things I can do with the money I will never have (at least not until a decade from now).


To end this entry, the cast of fantastic four. The bald guy is extremely fortunate. He shares the stage with FOUR REALLY HOT PEOPLE HELLO. Hahaha.

I miss my pitchpipe ! Well, it wasn't really mine. Jiemin passed it to me, I passed it to christina and I suppose she passed it to er either jasmine/zongyi/charmaine. Yeah. I miss it. ): Haha.

I got my brown and orange western lawn ! (:

I lost one side of the earrings I got from thailand. ): Sigh. I hope it's at my grandma's place. It's green beach day tomorrow ! Hurhur. I realise that I'm out of the boardshorts phase. My phone is getting more retarded. And the camera function is quite lousy considering the ONE WHOLE EXTRA PIXEL of a difference compared to my father's which is clear with a fast shutter. Grainy photos and lag time, hmph.

I think Bob Barker of The Price Is Right is really cool. How he's always reminding people to neuter their pets at the end of every show and his love for animals. 'COME ON DOWN !' Hurhur. He had his last show in the middle of may. Not that I watch but I've seen a few episodes years back and I can see why the crowds love him..

The next week sounds booked. Pten stuff, mini (as always) 33 gathering, badminton, going out with db.. And I want to pass them my notes or I'll just feel guilty. =X And the following week is PLAY! week. I think I should confirm the attire and invest in black pants.

You don't get morose, you get even.

I had dinner at east coast.. It wasn't too good. I think chomp chomp is better despite the really nice ambience. It's nice to be by the sea at night. The breeze, the salty air, the full moon, the twinkling planes, the stars, the ships in the distance...

It's still stuck as a potential thing that we may never do. SORRY JEMA & KIKI ! Don't be sad... ):

I can't reject ntu. They say my application number is invalid. Lols, they must have pre-empted my move. And dammit, I think my form A won't reach them in time. GAHHHHH. Wth.

30th may

My first ever kbox experience. HAHAHAH. It was utter madness I tell you. But it was really a good deal from what I've heard (about kbox averaging around 14 bucks without food). $10.50 for k-lunch and lotsa english songs to choose from ! Hurhur. I had a lot of fun laughing at eugene the diva and also at the stupid mtvs for the english songs which had no link whatsoever. Lols ! So we should really go again heh..

They had rehearsal for tp's concert after that. Wanted to leave for shopping at daiso when I found the vch concert hall doors locked but I met shuensin (spelling?) on the way out and showed her the way to the backstage entrance where we were joined by evon and jeremy. Haha. So I ended up staying to watch their rehearsal and sectionals. Which were quite amusing. I love my juniors, heh (to answer josephine's question of why I keep going back lols).

Pten outing was at a non-fast food joint for once !!! But it was at ps still, lols. We ate at the food court which was a welcome change. (: And we had bravissimo ! Woots ! Ice cream is fat (in our case, 4%, except for xunny's which was 0.5% cos she chose a fruity flavour) and happiness. (:

31st May

POCAWE !!! Haha, so I was the only one who came with black eyeliner, lols. And we waited about one hour for the conductor because he isn't adjusted from his indian timing or whatever ! Tsk ! But we were totally amused by his retarded songs and obsession with you know who. Unfortunately, we missed a good 15 minutes of the show because I got the time wrong. =/ Sorry ! It was mighty confusing with alliances switching all the time and betrayals and whatnot. And I thought that the manymany sparrows were.. getting abit lame to say the least. =X Lols. But I enjoyed it still overall. (: It's high time I start borrowing vcds and dvds..

1st June

Lazed around at home. Ate and napped. Played sims2 pets abit. Practised the piano a wee bit. Watched The Spanish Prisoner. Which was actually really cool overall except I couldn't get it because they were mumbling (lotsa dialogue) most of the time and the tv in my parents' room gives me this nauseating effect. Because there isn't much to do online with video streaming and social networking sites, I am just wiki-ing stuff. I'm now reading about King Henry VIII. (the spanish prisoner to david mamet to the winslow boy to jeremy northam to the tudors to king henry VIII, haha I love how I can just link to stuff) It's quite interesting but there are too many names and unfamiliar terms. =/ I just wish there was someone who could explain it to me. It's 15th/16th century history ! Hurhur. I've finished reading Truman Capote's novella, Breakfast At Tiffany's. I think it's quite lovely but with a tinge of sadness at the same time. A bit of lunacy and quirkiness too.

***

My sister's away at a geography field trip in taman negara. I wish I was there in the caves and what not. Should be interesting. Haha, makes me think about our 'geography trip' to malacca. (more like shopping holiday) Going to have a nice hokkien restaurant lunch with my grandmother tomorrow yayy. I wish I weren't so broke. Everyone please return me my money if not just give some of it to me, lols. I'm actually looking forward to PLAY! practice. Have I already mentioned this ? I think I am weird.

divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived
-a summary of king henry the 8th's wives (somewhat.. marriages were annulled rather than amounted to divorce).

I think I'm crazy, fussing over a temporary distraction. And it's not even living up to its purpose. Hmph.

Some people have all the luck. HAHA. Thanks anyway ahloy. (: I really really should do something about my mendelssohn and cpe bach. Zzzt. Speaking of The Tudors, Jonathan Rhys Meyer is hot. And he has a horse named Belle !! Ahahah ! ((:


Okay he looks rather demonic here though. Lols. But his eyes are a really pretty, icy blue ! And he has this totally gorgeous irish accent (in bend it like beckham haha). Okay, more eye candy another day hurhur..
