Why do I even bother...
Dear Bloggie...

*Stabs a potato*
Potato anyone?

Running along...
I think life's unfair, those in favour, say I...
Ok fine, life aint so bad...
Sheesh...

I passed my Computer modules!
Wooohooosh!
So there goes my worries on failing ECS, HAH!
In your face! =X
In who's face you may ask?
I have no idea...

And the replacement cher for MAD says my project is do-able...
Just when I thought it's too nonsensical...
I mean, too chim...
So I guess, Edugame it is...
Gamecanvas is so CHIM!
Must start preparing and learning on it ASAP...

Ok...
Today's the last day of June...
Before I can kiss it's ass goodbye, for now...
And say hello to good jolly ol' July!

So tomorrow gonna meet Fila...
She's gonna teach me the shutter speed thingy...
Good timing, can meet after school..
Then slack for awhile, then go band...
Super nice...

Wednesday should have nothing on...
So if anyone wanna ask me out during my happy month, please do!
Thursday band, Friday band and Saturday band...
Sunday piano lesson...
Other then Wednesday, I'm packed...
Hee!

I finally bought the past exam papers for Grade 5 theory...
Cost me 30 bucks...
4 Years...
4 Papers per year...
I got 16 papers to complete before November, which is my Exam month...
I'll be going all out for distinction, RAWR!(fake boy!)

I realised, that no matter how busy I am...
I still think of her...
And the thing is, I'm not complaining...
Helps me sooth my mind, and calm my soul...
Hate is bad, Love is good...

And everyone has heard about those predictions...
From some guy...
About the future and stuff like that...
To be honest...
You don't need some predictions to open your eyes at how devastated the world already is...
The world is dying...
And there's actually people who cares and wants to make it a better place...
*starts listening to Heal the World by Michael Jackson*
We need to make this world a better place...
For our children, and our children's children...
Global warming is an enourmous issue nowadays...
*that's why I rarely use aircon and don't take plastic bags from 7 eleven*
Everytime I stare into the sky...
The formation of clouds make me realise how beautiful our world is...

Sadly not many people knows what they could do to help...
Even though there's been so much emphasis on it...
I shall spare the advices, cause I'm not a true green environmentalist myself...
But lets come together, and make this world a better place...

But lets say...
The world is coming to an end...
And what would I do...
What would I want...
What would I need...
Of course I'd want to go to heaven...
But that's spiritually...
But emotionally...
I wanna feel balanced again...
I wanna feel strongly happy again...
I wanna feel a strong bond with someone...
I wanna feel someone having a strong bond with me...
I wanna feel loved, truly...
I wanna love, with all my heart...
I wanna care for someone...
I wanna risk something I have for someone...
I wanna yearn for an unbreakable trust...

But I guess...
You don't have to wait till the end of time before you could wish for such things...
Cause they'll never come...
Maybe they will, maybe they will come up to your front door...
But they won't knock...
And you'll be forever oblivious to the fact that your fate has left...
Or maybe...
You opened the door...
You let her in...
But while you're sleeping, she leaves...
And you wake up covered in tears...

It's a curse not a blessing...
For history has always been there to haunt my present...
But sometimes I just get too drawn in...
And believe that history won't repeat itself...
But it did...
There's a saying, "Those who don't study history, are doomed to repeat it"...
I can't say I've studied much on my history...
Cause the past is something I'd wish I could erase...
But I guess, someday when I'm happy, it will haunt me once more...
And my dream of true happiness, just faded away in the distance...

I guess I'm not living in an ideal life where everything's perfect...
Nor I could get what I want...
No matter how hard you try, you always get disappointed...
So why do we try?
We try cause there's never a time where there's totally no hope...
Even a glimmer of hope is enough to change something bad into good...
And while others say, the higher you fly the harder you fall...
I say, the harder you fall, the more you'll appreciate getting back up and flying again...

So the moral of the story...
Don't be like me...
Take so long just to recover...
I should be ashamed of myself...
For disturbing people and feeling sorry for myself...
I realise that now...
Life's too short for all that...
Live life like everyday's gonna be your last...
Appreciate people around you...
Call/sms people who you haven't talked to for a long time...
Apologise for your mistakes even if you didn't do anything wrong...
Be open to your thoughts and feelings and share it with others...
That way life will carry more meaning...

I have no idea why I said all that...
But yar...
I need to find my inner peace again...
Lost it in June somehow...
But it won't be too difficult with friends around...=]

And and and...
I realise...
No one really talks about what I write in my blog...
Cause no one bothers reading word for word...
So even if I talk about people, they won't see it...
Then occasionally I get people asking me if I'm alright or not...
It's a subjective question...
But I'm honest, so I'll always say I'm not...
But somehow, I get the feeling they ask for the sake of asking...
I don't mind...
At least got people show that they care...
Even though it seems so superficial...

Anyways...
I think I've written alot already...
So I'll end off here...
Can't wait for tomorrow!
First of JULY!
Take carez people!
Have a nice day tml!

"Will YOU be there for me?"

Dear Bloggie...

I have a sudden urge to slaughter a watermelon...
*DIE DIE! woooooooooosh~ ah, juicy*

Ok that was random...
So, yesterday was Final Round of MST...
It was pretty screwed up compared to the other 3 papers...
So, nuff said...

Was contemplating on whether or not I should go band...
Then since I'm already in school...
And it was 5pm...
Might as well just go...
Of which I did...
Went to the music room...
Fabian was there, plus some other people...
I had the urge of buzzing...
So while watching people playing frisbee(sp?) at the field...
I just buzzed long tones...
*Buzz buzz buzz*
Then Huiyi came...
And we practiced on the pieces...

After afew minutes, more euphos came...
And they just came to sit where we were...
Soon at around 6.20pm liddat, the whole eupho section down there...
So cool...
And I thought there was gonna be combined...
But I was badly mistaken...
For there was sectionals...
And Brass Sectionals...
For the record, I don't like Chorale and Shaker Dance, gross...
Minor minor minor sounds gross!
Anyway...
Practiced John Williams song...
Christabel did a great job conducting sectionals...
*Skateboards are FUCKING noisy...*
Everytime they went woooooosh, her scores went flying, HAHAHAkz...evil...

During brass combine...
Fida got pissed like loads of times...
And her conducting isn't that bad...
The only thing about her, is that she keeps saying the wrong bar number...
I know how it feels like...
Oh, and, Triple tongue-ing ROCKS!
It's so fun!
After band, had to stayback after keeping instru...
Announcements of concert and overseas trip...
And no, I'm not gonna go for the overseas trip...
I finally get the tickets! yay for me!
*So people, come get your tix from me!!!!*

And I went home...
Reached home at around 11.30pm...
Was already freaking tired...
But still went online...
To promote my concert...
Was practically copy + paste the info to everyone I know...
As you can see, I'm going all out to sell the tickets...
Then chatted with alot of people...
And slept at 1am...
Haven't slept so late, since I dunno when...

Morning woke up at around 7.30, no, exactly at 7.30am...
Bathed and drank milo till 8am...
*Not at the same time la DUH*
Went to band...
They were still setting up instruments...
I set up my eupho and walked to the canteen with dearest junior...
*You should know yourself by now la horrrr...SUNFLOWER!*
Then when we reached the canteen...
LR got them to sit down infront of him...
I thought there wasn't gonna be games...
But somehow there was...
Started out slow with the band split into two...
*I just can't work with people who aren't motivated*
So i just went to practice my eupho parts for the concert...
I brought my file! Lucky for me...

Then most of them played Captain's Ball...
Some of them played "chuki chuki" which was taught by Super Caiyan...
I call her Super Caiyan cause she rocks! =]
Apart from those who were playing...
James and Johnathan refused to play...
And it's my first time seeing dearest junior sweat until liddat...
Next time will get her a towel or something...

Went out for breakfast during the break...
Ate macs...
Me and the McGriddles again...
I find it awfully addictive...
Don't ask me why...
It's as though the whole band was at macs...
After break, went back school...
Went to canteen...
And they were just sitting down there...
First they started playing by themselves...
Then more and more people joined in...
In the end I took the conductor stand, and placed it infront of them..
Asked them to sit facing me...
And we're off...

Conducted Blue Ridge Saga...
It was quite ok...
But could use a lil more touch up..
So I reminded them on stuff like beginning on time...
Crescendos are supposed to start soft then can go to loud...
Focused alot on the ending...
I was once told...
The beginning and ending of a song are the most important...
The beginning, clarinets can still push for more warmer tone...
Ending tubas must remember to end nicely...
Until now I'm still contemplating on whether I should go for Tapestry tml...
But I believe in them, so I might not go...
*Feels weird playing the song without percussions*

Went back to the NCC room there...
Combined there...
I conducted Silvercrest...
I feel that at most parts, people were rushing...
Plus I didn't realise I was going slow...
The only reason for going slow was that, in the later part, I have to go twice the speed...
So there's contrast...
Sorry for that, but good job at trying to follow...
Then Ms Leong conducted Blue Ridge Saga...
I played alongside James...
He really needs to work on his timing...
Very off..
And his notes are often mispitched...
Hopefully I can help him before NBC...

I really hope they sound good tommorow...
Cause if there's a better time to prove to the school that we can make music, it's tomorrow...
NASband, my heart is with you...
Please show the world your beautiful sound...=]

Gosh I'm getting hungry again...
Heard from mom that my sis is gonna move in with us again...
And and and...
I have to move back to my old room...
But but but...
I wanna get a new bed, a new table, a new wardrobe and a new mirror...
If possible then buy clock...
As for when, not too sure...
It seems like July is gonna be one heck of an interesting month...
Nice~

Speaking of July...
I'm gonna be superbly busy with band in July...
So lemmi try to recall what I have...
Next week, Tuesday got sectionals for Year 2s & 3s while the year 1s combine...
Thursday got band cause laoban coming down...
Friday got band cause Fida wanna go fine tune the songs...
Oh I'm talking about SPband for now...
Then the week when I'm having concert...
On Wednesday got rehearsal...
Which only begins after 3pm...
Just when I thought I can skip GEMs, not that I want to...
Then the week after next...
On Wednesday, there's gonna be section outing...
I'm as broke as broke can be, and there's section outing, GREAT....
So I think, the only normal week would be 3rd week of July...
Catch my breath before the concert week...
Plus I can relax on my birthday week, YAY FOR ME!
Literally speaking, I'm so gonna be exhausted....
But who cares, I'll be having fun! =X

RAWR!
*fake boy!*

Ok that's all for today's entry...
Entry number 431...
I wonder what entry it would be on THAT day...
Hmmmmmmmmm~
Lazy to think...
Will blog again soon, I think...
Take carez people!
And get your tickets quick! =]

**3 MORE DAYS TO JULY!**

"Silence, is when I don't know what to talk about."

*Into the ocean, end it all...*

Dear Bloggie...

"Fiqz, you're an idiot..."
Enthusiastically, "I KNOW I KNOW!!!! =D"

Gah...
Ok...
Round Three.
Networks and Protocols...
With such a short span of time to study, plus no mood to study...
I'd be glad if I even pass this freakin paper...
Somehow, I'm starting to hate the word Protocols...
It's like studying law(if I ever did), but it's like laws on network communications...
I shan't elaborate in detail what I mean...

So I woke up at.7.15am, when my paper's scheduled at 10.30am...
Bathed and all...
Was hoping to study...
Well, tried, went through past year papers...
Read through the Tbook...
No inspiration, went online and watch videos...
Then went out...

Listened to Across the Universe Soundtracks all the way to Dover...
Loving all the songs...
So went to school, T941's the place...
Ok so two things happend during my exam...
First, my mechanical pencil screwed up...
So I took like 15 mins to just fix the damn thing...
Cause there's this lead stuck or something...
So I used my "tools"(ruler and finger) to pull the lead out...
Sounds like some operation sia...
Ok, then after 15 mins, it's workable...
Then I finished the paper, with quite afew parts I totally dunno how to do...
And I checked and all...
Then the examiner said "20 mins left..."...
I flipped the paper through...
And there it was, question B5...
I was like "WAT?!?!?!"...
Obviously I acted cool la...
And luckily the question wasn't that difficult...
So I managed to do it in 10 mins...
With 10 mins to spare, I left the room...

Waited for Iskandar...
Then went home...
Wanted to sleep...
Tried so badly to sleep..
But can't, my mind was too darn occupied...
But I didn't want to use the laptop...
So I watched TV...
Which didn't help much, but, no choice...

So, TV-ed till around 5+...
In the end went online...
Then saw this youtube video...
Teaching people how to play "Love Song" on the piano...
Of which I've been learning since just now...
Still can't smoothly play it yet...
Oh!
Christina called me cause she read my blog...
*woo she reads my blog*
So while talking to her, I continued practicing on my piano...
*speaking of which, my ring finger has cramped like mad now*
And yes, both the songs are nice...=]

So I went to eat dinner...
Watched a lil bit of Wheel of Fortune...
Still amazed that those two host still hosting the show...
Thought they would look old or something...

After dinner, here I am, blogging...
Still not studying...
Maybe tomorrow morning I'll study with a clear head...
Thinking again, I might be distracted, so I'll study later, just to break the ice...
Ok shall stop blogging here...
Not like I have anything better to do, no wait, I need to study...
Yes...
Take carez people!

Tomorrow, Final Round!
Embedded Computer Systems module!
*I'm sooooooooooo not ready for it, hah.*

"...cause nothing mattered more to me then you"

*What's so fragile that even by saying it's name, you have broken it?*

Zupz Zupz!

Dear Bloggie...

Ok this blog entry will be short...
My brain is practically shutting down right now...
Oh yar...
Round TWO.
DigiCom...
Wasn't too bad...
I did those I can do, and skipped those I couldn't, and checked once...
Then I'm off..
Started at 5.30pm, ended at 6.30pm instead of 7pm..
I'm having a bad headache now!
But I gotta study for tomorrow's paper which is at 10.30am!
Darn...
Nvm...
If I get fever or what shit tml, I'll just take MC...
For two days...
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh~

"Love Song" by Sara Berilles is really nice...
Sadly I can't put it in my current playlist...
So you gotta go Imeem for the song...
First heard it at Dr. Fu's blog...
And I fell in love with the song...
Lalalala....
Ok I'm screwed...
I'm feeling super disfunctional + handicapped...
Why haven't the feeling go away until now...haiz...
Nevermind, SIX MORE DAYS TO JULY!
Happy happy happy month!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooosh~
*heart feels heavy,still*

Somehow things are sinking faster the quicksand...
I need a lifevest to at least keep me afloat...
Two more days of exams...
Come on Fiq, no one's gonna push you anymore...
You're on your own now...
No more hoping for others...
Face it, my fears of being an autophobic just came true...
Haiz...
SIX MORE DAYS...
*Seems like forever seh this six days*

Oh, and I got a strong feeling, I'll be going for Tapestry... YAY! =X
But I gotta do my grade 5 theory book until finish first, one more page ya!!!
Like finally, I thought it's gonna take forever or something...
So yar, just a strong feeling...

Must come my concert HOR! I already said 90% of the band hor...=]

Shit, I'm supposed to be studying now...

Hahahakz...

Dear Bloggie...

Hellos...
And so it begins...
Round One.
Mobile Application Development module...
Woke up at 7.30am...
Bathed and all...
Watched Liar Game, just one episode...
Then got ready for school...
Left home at 9.15am...
Reached school at 10.15am...
Went to component store to retrieve components...
Then headed to T933 for my exam...
*ISKANDAR WAS LATE! RAWR!*
Took the exam...
Wasn't too bad, passable...
Ended the exam wayyyyy too early...
Exam started at 10.30 and supposed to end at 12...
But I ended at 11.15am...
After exam, discussed answers with Iskandar...
Then went home...

I find it funny yet scary somehow...
Everywhere I turn...
I saw her...
And...
She's in my mind all of the time...
Maybe I'm going crazy cause I think I might be hallucinating...
But I guess, the only reason behind all of this happenings...
Is cause I miss her so much...
Again, time will tell...

So I finished watching all of the 11 episodes of Liar Game...
Seriously damn interesting...
Keeps you in suspense 99% of the time...
Love these kinds of shows...
Now I know why I like watching CSI so much...

Tomorrow's gotta be mugging day for me...
The only day of the week with no exams...
So I gotta revise through all the three papers...
Be prepared for Round Two...
DigiCom module...
I've done the past year papers..
But I'm still not confident...
Hopefully by tomorrow, will be alright...

Somehow I still can't wait for July...
June has been a month of just too much...
Too much disappointment...
July will be different, I'm sure of it...
Well, it had better be different, my only form of salvation...
JULY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH~

Gosh my entry today is super short...
Oh wells...
NASband gonna get a new band teacher, who shall it be?
Stay tuned to find out!
Ok the news would probably be out on Saturday...
But still, STAY TUNED!

Ok so that's all for my blog today...
The new school term has started!
To my poly friends having exams, ALL THE BEST and STUDY HARD!
To my secondary friends, ENJOY SCHOOL and DON'T BLAME OTHERS IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE YOUR HOLIDAY HOMEWORK! hahahahakz... =X
Gosh that was random...
Ok larz, bybyez people!

*haiz, i miss her...*

"Cognitive Dissonance"

Hey Jude.

Dear Bloggie...

Woooooooooooooooooooosh~
I studied MAD yesterday!
And I finally got 10/10 for my online MCQ quiz!
Yay for me!
Call me noob or lousy, but whatever...
Then studied the long questions...
So proud of myself for studying on my laptop...

Then the rest of the day was pretty much screwed...
So I shall talk about today...
Woke up at 7.30am 2 seconds before my alarm went off...
Bathed and all by 7.50am...
Reached school at 8am...
Still can see people strolling into school...
Mind you, 8am everyone should have set up instrument and ready to warm up...
So warm up began at 8.30am...
Cliff conducted warm up...
Not too bad la, but could do with more practice...=]
Then broke off for sectionals...

Cliff asked me to teach James...
So I did...
I can't help myself but to teach him basics...
So did basics for like 30 mins...
And we went through songs for the next 30 mins...
Then got distracted by Mabeline...(don't say you giving moral support hor, more like slacking there) =X
Then Cliff came along...
James down there super tensed...
Can't play properly with so many people around...
Most of the time he's either early or late, never on beat...
But I guess he's just not sure of the beats...
As in, he doesn't have the sense of rhythm in him...
But it's ok, if he's willing to come, I'm willing to teach...=]

Break, went to prima deli...
I bought some bread with otah and tuna thingy inside...
I even ate a plain donut...
Can tell how hungry I was...
"Breakfast is the MOST important meal of the day"
Went back to school...
Conducted combine...
My arm didn't feel cramp in the beginning, it felt good...
But near the end, I started to feel it...
And it's like, OMG la...
I'm trying to signal the band to play soft, I got no response...
I signal to crescendo, no response...
NASBand!!! Please watch the conductor!!!
Next time I dowan conduct le...
Let some random people conduct, HMPHZ! =X

Then Ms Leong came...
Then the band had to sort of "perform" for the sec 1s...
Ms Leong wants to show the sec 1s what they are gonna be expecting...
And the first time I conduct Blue Ridge Saga, I GOT LOST!
Stupid wind, blow the conductor score...
Blow until I couldn't keep track...
SUPER PAI SEH!!!
I even had to ask where we were... =X
Then Ms Leong stopped me...
And talked to the band...
Then I had to conduct the piece again...
Then she stopped me again..
Cause the band isn't playing as a band, there wasn't a common feeling...
So I conducted another time...
This time she ask me to stop halfway...
Then she talk to the band..
Then she left...
So I asked the band if they wanna finish the song or not...
But I didn't get any response...
SUPER IRRITATING...
Make me look like an idiot...

After band...
They pushed the perc instruments back to the NCC room...
Then Yihui, Melissa and me went home...
Went home to freshen up...
Then went out for Friday prayers...

After Friday prayers...
Went to CS with Faris and Assiddiq...
To see how much the Adidas watch cost...
It cost 118 bucks...
Looks super cool...
But I'm not hoping to get one...
Just see see only... =X

Then went home, and of which, here I am now...
Later going to TM for alumni meeting...
Meeting starts at 6pm...
So I'll leave house at around 5.45pm liddat...
I miss my alumni pals...
Janelle, Patrick, WeiLiang, Andrew, Afiqah, Stacy, Sean and Crystalla...
These people ROCKZ!
Even though i'm not even part of the committee, as I don't have any position...
Cause I'm doing these projects purely out of volunteerism...=]
Plus plus plus, by organising these camps, I can get to know more people, make new friends...
Camps are FUN!
Gosh I can't wait for JULY!!!!!!!!!!

The sun is up, the sky is blue..
It's beautiful, and so are you... =]

Woooooo love is in the air again...
Hahakz...

The time now is 4.25pm...
But I wanna drag this post until Mabeline finish consolidating her ws....=X
And no I'm not bad... hahahahakz...

Oh and I've decided I won't go follow the band tomorrow for rehearsal...
Need to study study study!!!
Also need to do my music theory...
Which I gotta hand up on Sunday...
So tomorrow can chiong everything!
Fiqz is strong! Fiqz is great! Woooooooooooooooooooooosh~
Fiqz is the greatest senior of Mabelineness! =X
Yes it's true it's true... hahahahahakz...
Gosh I'm nonsensing in here... which is quite rare I dare say...
And Mabelineness just owe me a punishment for defying my instructions... WAHAHAHAHA... =X

Dear prudence.... won't you come out to play...
Dear prudence.... greet the brand new day...

Damn I love you loads... hahahahahahakz....

AIGHTZ!
No more wasting time...
Mabeline, hope you like this kind of entertainment...
Better tag after u read hor... =X
K that's all, BYEZ!

"Look around dear, there's only me surrounding your sweet sweet world =]"

Dear Bloggie...

Damn I love my juniors...
If you're my junior, then please know that you're loved...=]
Woooooooooooooooosh~

Went for band in the morning...
Nothing much, quite dry...
Didn't set up my eupho, I'm not quite sure why...
Sectionals, taught the bass line on the running note...
By constantly repeating and repeating and repeating...
My hands were damn tired after clapping like mad...
I was quite crucial just now, I know I was "tekaning" James really hard...
But he needs the push...
Of which I'm giving him...

I didn't go out for break...
Asked DEAREST MABELINE to get for me waffle...
During break I just played some random songs on the Eupho...
I just love my tone...
It's so...*heart melts*
Continuing...
The Majors got punished by Mr Yeo after the break...
Mr Yeo taught the band on how to listen out when playing...
Spotting mistakes while playing...
I think he's cool...
Cause all tuba players are cool! =X

After band prac...
We all went to the M-learning lab...
To have a mini farewell party to our beloved Ms Chen...
Time does pass by faster then I expected...
It seems as though I was just getting to know her...
And on Sat she's flying off to Taiwan for 2 years...
Thank You Ms Chen, for all your contributions and hardwork putting into the band...
And hopefully, when you come back in two years time, I'll still be there, and I hope you remember me...
And finally, I hope you will achieve all the things you wanna achive in your life and have a brighter future...=]
Hope to see you again in two years time, of which I'll look a lil different... =X
So take care my dear band teacher in charge, hope to see you soon...=]

Took some pics...
And the cake was too much, we had alot of extras left...
But it tastes really really nice...
I think I'll buy myself that cake on 14th july...
But on second thought, I'll be having school...
So no way that's gonna happen...

After band, went to TMart with Sandy and Felicia...
Sandy used my laptop to do her homework...
And like, after 4 weeks of holidays, she has done her homework...
And and and and, she updated her blog, PLUS change blogskin...
I was pretty shocked at how fast she changed blogskin...
Like some miracle worker...
Copy paste here and there, super fast...
Of which, yes, I still owe you a blogskin!!! =X
Haven't forget that yet hor...
So yar...
She changed her blogskin to one Cookie Monster skin...
I'm still amazed as to how fast she changed her blogskin... =X
Went home at around 4.30pm...
Slept all the way till 7+...

So now I'm blogging...
A very nice day well spent today...
Note to self, do more work outs...=]
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....KAZ! =X

Ok I'm gonna go to bed soon...
Whole day of mugging tomorrow!
My brain's gotta be prepared...
Somehow I'm psyched up for my concert next month more then my bday...
Haha..KAZ... =X
At the same time I'm also psyched up for NBC...
July is gonna be one hell of a month manz...
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh~
Hahahakz...

I've finally gone bonkers or something...
And I've finally realised, I've got many many many many people who care for me...
Most of them are my juniors...
Love them loads...
Even though they might get on my nerves, LIKE JAMES, but but but but...
At the end of the day, they show commitment and some form of improvement...
Makes me proud...
And to make her faint again...
MABELINE was great today, never gimme trouble during sectionals...
In fact, everyone was so obedient during sectionals...=X
And I realised when I gave a short break, everyone's head went down...
I felt like talking to some wall or something... =X
But it's ok...
Ok why am I going back about band...

There's nothing you can do that can't be done,
nothing you can sing that can't be sung,
nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game...
It's easy...
There's nothing you can make that can't be made,
no one you can save that can't be saved,
nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time...
It's easy...
All you need is love...=]

*All you need is love, love, love...=]*

Dear Bloggie...

Hello hello hello...
I'm back again, I guess...
Waking up early today, cause later going to school...
For my FYP thingy...
Hoping all the components are correct...
After FYP, gonna come back home to study...
Will be studying MAD and either one of my Communication modules...
As for ECS, that one need alot alot of understanding, so will plan carefully...

So yesterday went for band...
Taught the Eupho section in the first half...
My patience wasn't particularly very good yesterday...
But James has improved quite alot...
Apart from pitching notes, he eventually gets it...
So yay for him!
The same can't be said for Terrence...
While I was helping James, he didn't bother looking through the songs and practice the parts he don't know yet...
And he hasn't been coming for alot of band practice...
The thoughts of him even still in the band is a mystery...
He's so quiet it kills me...

Anyways, second half, taught the tuba section...
It's A Small World is one really confusing piece...
Tried to teach them to bounce, but in the end they only played long...
And yes, Mabeline played the Eupho...
The only reason I allow it is that she could reach her high high Bb on her Tuba...
And her tone isn't that bad on the Eupho...
But if she decides to transfer to Eupho, that would be decided by Mr Yeo anyway...

After Band, we had meeting...
Mabeline is sue-ing my moutpiece for assaulting her leg...
But it made nice mickey mouse heads!!!
She said she'll drop charges against my mouthpiece if I laugh on Wednesday...
But come on, laughing needs to be the result of something funny...
Nothing's been so funny yet...
So, too bad...for my mouthpiece cause it's gonna get sued! =X

Ok...
So today...
It's Shermeen's Birthday!
And I didn't get her any presents... =X
Gosh I suck...
When I get enough $$$ den I will la hor... =X
So pai seh please...
Anyways, Happy Birthday Shermeen!
May you have a blessed year ahead! =]

Dear Bloggie...

Ok initially I didn't have the mood to blog...
But since I've got nothing to do now, plus I'm alone at home...
AND since I'm gonna rot at home today and tomorrow, might as well do something worthwhile...

Ok so the past week has been kinda hectic for me...
Well most of the days at least...
Like I've written on my previous entry, my schedule has been pretty tight...
Had band like 90% of the time...
If it's not NASband, it's SPband...
So yar...
I actually feel my standard improving day by day...
Which is super great!
Anyways...
During band "camp", they should call it sectionals camp...
Anyway, we had sectionals most of the time...
Walked all the way to the Moberly stage there to practice...
I dislike Doraemon the most, cause I HATE intervals of 3rds....*RAWR!*
Don't ask me why, I'm a lil crossed eyed or something...

Nessun Dorma was ok, but there wasn't any strong beats so we don't know where to come in...
It's difficult to have a pulse without a conductor especially in slow music...
Now I'll go straight to the Section Competition...
Euphos were the first to present our pieces...
So we played Nessun Dorma first, since we felt it's abit draggy...
And as I predicted, the beats were quite off in the beginning...
But it caught up near the beginning...
Next was Doraemon, to be honest, I'm having like loads of mouth ulcers now...
And with a piece with so many tonguing involved, I was practically screaming for mercy...
*Reminds me of IBM 2007 all over again, sheesh*
And I screwed up the chromatic "fall" from high F to normal F...
Super crappy... oh, valve got stuck. -.-"
Then we ended off the whole song with a beautiful chord...
Then we bowed, and that's it...

Then during the results...
Laoban pointed out those things which were kinda obvious...
But all were taken positively...
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Clarinet section for being 1st runner up...
And also Saxophone section for winning the competition...
During the Saxophone presentation, I can't help but to just be mesmerised by the Bari Sax...
Don't ask me why, I'm just amazed...
All in all, great job to everyone who participated!

To my dear Eupho section, don't be too disheartened, suck up the failure and work harder next time, for we shall be victorious one day...=]
I'm really proud to have great juniors who are very dedicated...
And to have such diversity in our section, nothing else could make me happy...
To:
Christabel, you've been a great leader throughout this whole competition, organising all the scores and stands and stuff like that, I couldn't have done those things that you did, and I'm proud that you are the Section Leader of the Euphonium Section.=]

Joel, your enthusiasm and optimism has spread to the whole section which always make each and every single one of us believe that we can do anything if we put our thoughts into it.

Serene, your charisma provides us with alot of comical relief even when it's not needed. Apart from that, you are very friendly and a very good eupho player.

Kaizhi, I still remember you were the first year one girl who joined before the others. And I see alot of potential in you. Continue to persevere throughout the next 2 years in the band and you will see how much you've improved.

Hui Yi, the first time I saw you, you were this timid quiet girl who hardly speaks anything. But now, I see a different side of you, a very outgoing girl who loves to take pictures ALOT. Make me jealous of your nice pics only know hor..=p Other than that, you show alot of promise in your playing, and you can improve if you want to. Remember, buzzing is the key. =]

Mei Ping, a very bubbly character I must say, very sociable and fun to be around with. Though, you really need to work very very very hard in your playing as you still have much to learn. Do not be discouraged by good players around you, instead, learn from them and challenge yourself to be better than them someday.

Aisyah, a very nice person to talk to, looks at me weird sometimes, but she's weird too! Just kidding =p. She's someone who can understand people's problems. And a good Aunt Agony, listens to all of my problems which makes me feel good about myself. Other than that, she has great eupho playing foundation, knows the chromatic scales. She knows how to project her sound very well. Practice hard and take all the advice I have to give and you'll be a better eupho player in the future. =]

Kok Keong, my first impression of you, very pro player, and now, my impression of you is that you are actually very friendly. Can joke around here and there, a great sectionmate to have. I hope you can help to teach those weaker ones in our section one day and we can progress as a strong eupho section in the future.

Faris, my first impression of you, I though you were chinese, then was surprised to know you're malay. Aside from that, you really need to work very hard to catch up those two years of which you didn't play your eupho. I know it's hard, but since you've made the effort to stay in the band, it would be worthwhile that you work hard to improve youself even more. A very friendly chap to talk to. =]

Aaron, my first impression of you is that you're very good in your playing. And now you've shown me that you are very knowledgable and knows how to teach others so that others could be as good as you. Continue to help the others as they need your help.

Last but not least, Zhen Yang, thank you loads and loads and loads and loads for all the effort you put into this section competition in helping us. I've got no words to describe how thankful I am. A great senior with alot of commitment with a very big heart too. Even though sometimes his directions in teaching aren't that clear, but he's constantly trying to improve himself to become better in what he is doing. THANK YOU ZHEN YANG! =]

And to all my juniors, continue to practice hard, and also play hard too! Let's look forward to IBM concert as a united section! And after IBM, lets work hard together towards MD! =]

Wow that was one long blog entry on band...
And to my lovely NASband juniors...
Don't worry, I've not forgotten you guys...
Especially Mabeline dearest...*see i aknowledge you in my blog ok! =p*
You guys got a long long long way to go...
But I'll be with you guys step by step towards success...
And those alumnis reading my blog...
Please spread around, 28th June, come back down...
The band having a game day and they need our support...
Those interested please contact me as soon as you can ok?
This is my biggest dream ever, forming this alumni band for NASband...
Please please please please please make it possible...


You know, reading through my blog entry today...
I realise, my life is pretty much is being devoured by band...
But, I don't mind, cause this is my life...
If you don't like it, BUZZ OFF. =]
Buzzing is good for tone production, but I don't like buzzing, HAH! =X

Ok, next week is the last week of hols...
So here's my schedule...
Monday, NASband + Study...
Tuesday, FYP + Study...
Wednesday, NASband + Study...
Thursday, going out with Christina. *You promised!!!!* =]*
Friday, NASband + Study...
Saturday, maybe going for NASband's rehearsal for their Tapestry concert, maybe not?

Boohoo~

Dear Bloggie...

A day spent going to school for an hour...
Daffodil went to the EE store to register so that we could order our components...
Went to see our supervisor, VERY HELPFUL, sense sarcasm please...
Then we looked for a very good friend of ours...
We then knew the components we need, well, kinda...
So I'm hoping Daffy orders the components tonight...
Praying hard the components are the right ones...
Of which, reminder to self, I brought home the PCB board...
No idea what PCB stands for, but yea, I got the board...
So action plan, when components are ready, get it soldered...
Then we'll talk on other stuff such as programming...

Ok, went back home, watched The Spectacular Spiderman on youtube...
Kinda fun, I love the comedy behind all of it...
And somehow I feel his pain of not being able to please everyone...
But his determination and drive makes me even more confident...

Went for my piano GIL lesson...
GIL means Group Interactive Learning...
I was late, as usual...
And I joined this group doing Baroque period...
Seriously, Baroque should be renamed as BORING period...
Everything is just so, flat, no expression at all, SIAN...
Then we had about 30 mins to do a mind map of Baroque period...
My group, which consist of me and three other girls...
Two of which were damn hyper...
But not productive when it comes to work...
I was practically teaching rather than discussing...
But it's ok, I had fun, yay!

Ok that's all for today!
I wanna take this opportunity to thank Ilyanti...
For always being there when I need her...
And yes, we shall go out one day, one fine day... =X
Hope you have a lasting relationship with him...
Don't worry about me, I'll probably throw in a line in the sea again or something...
Take carez then everyone!
