Ando Ando Ando

Here is a review of what happened yesterday night.

I reached my music school (Sri Irama) at Bandar Baru Klang at 6.55pm when I was supposed to be there at 6.30pm. Obviuosly I was the last to arrived there. Everyone who is going to Andoh's concert was to wait there. I apologised to everyone and we started our journey to PJ Civic Centre. There are 3 cars by the way, amounting to about 18 students or so, age ranging from 10 to twenty something.

Half way there, we got lost. I remembered the last time I went there, we got lost also, and the time before that. It seems that we are always getting lost on the way there. Some how we found our way by asking a few pedestrian.

We reached there about 7.45pm and went hunting for places as it is a free sitting concert. The hall was already quite full with people when we arrived there. So we could not find a place where all of us to sit together. But luckily one my teacher's student reached there earlier and sort of 'booked' the whole row for us.

It started about 8.20pm with his first song, 'Into The Light'. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed as he performed only about an hour. Well, I think it was worth while watching anyway, because I really like his style when he plays the electone.

After that there was an autograph session. I took my teacher's book, by him (it;s original mind you, not photocopied), and asked him to sign on the front cover, hehe.

We all then head for a 'mamak stall' in Taman Eng Ann. I must admit that it wan my first time at a mamak stall at night. We sat and talk and talk and talk and then went back about 11 something. That ends my day.

Today,...nothing unusual happened. Went for 'exam practice session' at 2pm, played 3 of my exam songs and suck in all of it. I watched the other students played and realised that my standard of playing the electone is dropping. So, I must go practice harder I guess. But what can I do with an EL-37 at home. *sigh*


O yeah, one more thing. He changed the spelling of his name from Andoh to Ando

Both of my love birds escaped!!!

I have a pair of love birds. I bought them from a pet shop at Melawis last year, the green one is a male and the white one is a female. The green one escaped yesterday while the white one today. They must have come out through the door for the food to be placed in. Well, it is better to let both of them go then to keep one in cage. My mother said to go get another pair after the bird flu crisis is over. Err…I’m not sure whether to call it a crisis or what.

Anyway, tonight I will be going to Yoshihiro Andoh’s concert which I think is held at PJ Civic Hall. Sorry, for not updating my blog in a while because I could not find anything interesting to share with everyone.

Driving

Today I drove for the first time after so many months. Yay!! My aunt is going to Singapore for a couple of days next week. So I'm thinking about borrowing her car ^_^m But I don't think I dare to drive alone anyway. *sigh*

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light you see

Though I won't be afraid
Just as long you stand
Stand by me

Welcome...heesh

“Welcome ladies and gentlemen” *ahem* “Welcome Datuks, Datins, ladies and gentlemen”

Those were the exact words the emcee said during the opening speech of the wedding dinner I just attended. The second ‘welcome’ was said louder than the first and the crowd quiet down after the phrase ‘Datuks and Datins’ were said. What a joke.

Prom n the day after that n the day after that..

What shall I say, prom was exciting or boring or the finest moment of my life or the worst day of my 18 years of living in this world or the saddest day of all. Whatever it is, its all over. Am I glad. I do not wish to see most of my classmates, although I might miss some of them, after all we have spent a year together.

Well, the next day I asked Yuen to send me back. I do not know whether is she irritated by me or not, but I told myself that it is better for her to send me back than to look at my sour face the whole day. I end up watching some Japanese show by the title 'Adik maharaja terakhir'. Wow, quite nice. I got all my aunts and even my grandfather watching it.

Today. My mom forced me to do some cleaning. Scolded me for sleeping so long (12 hours). Then online, then watch tv and then online again. *sigh* this will go on for about a few weeks to come. So I do not expect anything out of the ordinary to happen to me.

Shopping...

Today I went to 1 Utama to shop for prom. Yuen Shin came and pick me up along with Ben and Sher-Ri. We reached there about 11 am, walked around and meet up with Weng Wai at Wong Kok restaurant (err...I think so that's the name). After that we walk and walk again. Ben left about 2 something with his brother, said he wanted to check out his bro's shirt. Weng Wai left about 4 after he bought his shirt. Poor guy, he must have felt left out, walking around with 3 girls ^_^

Anyway, after that we went to Axxess and I bought a necklace which cause me a fortune and I don't think I'm going to wear it again in future. I paid and the cashier place it in a box, which he then place it in a paper wrapping which he then put it in a paper bag. Hmm...a very nice package indeed. Yuen also bought her stuff there by the way.

After that we flew to McD. After finish eating I decided to have a look at my million dolar necklace. *drum roll* ONE OF IT'S DIAMOND IS MISSING!!! *clashing of cymbals* So we went back again to Axxezz like for the fourth time. Luckily the fella there has another set. *phew* but it was reserved by a customer. He let me have it anyway, cause I've paid for it and the other customer have not done so. Should I consider myself lucky or what, after all, I went to 3 Colors shop to get a particular shawl and end up buying a different one >.<# I don't think I'll be going anywhere tomorrow. To tired to go anywhere. 1U is Really huge.

*sigh*

I sat for my last paper today, which is specialist mathematics. I could answer most of the questions, at least more than during the usual test…haha. So, technically I’m free from SAM!!! Bye bye SAM.. I’m sure I’m going to miss you. Although this program gives me a lot of stress during the beginning of the year, but I’ve learnt to cope with it. But it all ended so soon, just when I was about to get to know everyone (well, almost everyone) a bit better; so many things to say, so little time. *sigh* I think some how we would still meet each other again since we are all in pure science stream, which means most of us are doing engineering, I guess. We could not stray far right??

I’ve been feeling very restless, or should I say agitated, this few days. My mood seems to swing faster then the swinging pendulum of a grandfather clock. Sheeesh...what am I crapping here. Is it because of prom? is it because of Andoh's concert? or because it might be the last time I ever see my 'see heng' (abang seguru)...*sigh*... whatever is it, I sure hope it would go off soon. I do not want to spoil my holiday mood and the festive season in the air and of course, my buddies ^_^! Well, enough crapping for today I guess *sigh*

Yamaha

I received a phone call earlier, and it was from...Yamaha!!! The minute the lady on the other side of the phone said that she's from Yamaha my heart skipped a beat. This means that my electone fundamental exam is near, to be exact, 10 of December. I'm so dead. I have not been practising for like since the last exam, which is around March or April this year. For the record, this is my third time taking this exam. The examiners seem to not want to let me pass this one easily (I'm taking grade 3 btw). Wish me luck!!!

Why love is blind

Well, I read an interesting story today, here it is.

A long time ago, before the world was created and humans could set foot on it, virtues and vices floated around, not quite knowing what to do. One day, all of them were gathered together, and feeling more bored than ever.

Suddenly, Ingenious came up with an idea: “Let’s play hide-and-seek!” Everyone liked the idea and immediately, Madness shouted: “I want to count, I want to count!”
Since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek Madness, all the others agreed. Madness leaned against a tree and started counting, “One, two, three…”

As Madness counted, the vices and virtues ran off to look for places in which to hide.

Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the moon, while Treason hid in a pile of garbage.

Fondness curled up between the clouds and Passion went to the centre of the Earth.

Lie said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake instead, whilst

Avarice entered a sack that he ended up breaking.

Madness continued to shout out: “…79, 80, 81...” By then, all the vices and virtues were well hidden except for Love. Fickle as Love is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide Love.

Madness counted: “…95, 96, 97...”

Just when he got to 100, Love jumped into a rose bush. Madness turn around and shouted: “I’m coming, I’m coming!”

Laziness was the first to be found, because he did not have the energy to hide. Then Madness spotted Tenderness in the horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake and Passion at the centre of the earth.

One by one, Madness found them all, except for Love. He was getting desperate. Envious of

Love, Envy whispered to Madness, “He is in the rose bush.”

Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed until a heartbreaking cry made him stop.

Love appeared from the bush with both hands covering his face. Blood oozed from his eyes and trickled down his fingers. Madness stabbed out Love’s eyes with his pitch fork.

“What have I done? What have I done?” Madness screamed . “I have blinded you! How can I repair the damaged?”

Love answered: “You cannot repair my eyes. But if you really want to do something for me, you can be my guide.”

And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.

Chindian and Inchi

I just found out that ‘Chindian’ (I think that is how it is spelled) is for Chinese father and Indian mother. ‘Inchi’ on the other hand is for Indian father and Chinese mother. I must be way behind a normal person's level of general knowledge.

Anyway, I watched Shark Tale just now, quite funny, nice animation, but other than that, it’s just another one of Dreamworks production. Maybe it is because there was too many distraction when I was watching it, could not really concentrate on what all the fishes are really saying (I was at a family gathering, all the adults were discussing about the past, present and future of China, ‘children’ were required to sit in front of the TV, and this time we ended up watching Shark Tale). But I think you guys should watch it, just for the fun of it, fish talking and dancing… you know what I mean.

Well, this song by the title 'Moon River' has been stuck in my head for the past few days, so here is the lyrics for those who know about the song.

Moon River

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style some day
Old dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you goin'
I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me

Rainy day

Well, it has been raining for the past 3 hours or so. What a gloomy weather. Suppose to study chemistry but end up watching tv the whole day. So I better get started after this, exam in four days time.

hmm...

hmm...first timer here so.... just testing out. I suddenly felt the need to blog as most of my friends has one too. So here i am, typing my very first 'blog'....
