an end, a beginning

2009-03-03T00:03:00.002+08:00

ok. i am doing this because i really cant sleep ><. i know i still got OB project and Stats quiz to study, but juz feel there is an urge to come here and swipe off the dust... exactly 2 month after my last post :P

so during these 2 months, i finally managed to get myself a hall, so dun have to squat anymore =) very proud to have my own study table/internet/bed now!! hahaha

last friday is my first [probably last] CO concert. I really enjoy myself very much during the concert [though i still dun appreciate the conductor's conducting style ><]. quote Jovi, our section is the most insane and lamest section [as what bass section has always been] :P, and i had a lot of fun with all my section mates ^^ and i managed to know the principal from SYCO!! so cool!!!

The whole CO experience is a very new thing to me. After playing strings and orchestra for so many years, it feels interesting to join Chinese orchestra and to know more about Chinese instruments =) i got to play almost every instrument in CO [except all the woodwinds... coz got saliva X(]. The times when we sat together and bitch about the conductor is also really fun and interesting*wink*.. I must say, 華樂裡真的都是一些好人丫!! [em... bitching and good guys do not seem to have a link....]

This sem, I got an awesome OB group mate. It was also my first time to stay in school until 2.30am to rush through the project+run through+refine, my first time to go SMU for meeting [and was accused for stealing their sch's university..lol] . the guys in my group are really gentlemen.too bad no feeling...haha.

I was really blessed to have the accountancy course coordinator to be my tutor.. to save my horrible accountancy results >< color="#33ffff">[my tutor is very proud of his office].

though, i am quitting CO next sem [maybe only playing as guest player after that]; though i might not manage to get a hall next sem, at least i have a lot of good memories this sem =) it has been a wonder year so far...

Thank you all for everything ^^ *muack*
hope this good feeling continues all the way!!

100 posts

2009-01-03T11:08:00.003+08:00

MUHAHAHAHA... this is my No.100 post =) ok. i know this is not a big number for some of you, but it is an achievement for me ^^ *灑小花~*

my last post announced that i went back to Taiwan, and this post is to announce that I AM BACK TO SINGAPORE !!! [i want to stay in Taiwan!! I still got a lot of food haven't tried yet ><]

this time my family didn't go oversea, but we went to southern part of Taiwan. It's my first time seeing the FULL RAINBOW!! [i am really proud of it so i am telling everyone about it ;P] and we went to set fire in a field with lighter ONLY [there is underground gasoline], spent 3 hours driving without knowing where are we going [coz we are lost =.=鬼打牆].... got a lot of fun and great memory during the trip =)

WHY MUST SCHOOL START SO EARLY !!!! :~>.<~: talking about school, i got a really slack but irritating timetable next term.. i got 2hour lesson on monday and thursday, which means i need to travel 4 hours for the 2 hour lesson >< think need to ask ah ma if she can let me squat again then =.=

finally, TAIWAN

2008-12-01T10:16:00.005+08:00

i am back home, finally.

the moment i have been looking for ever since 2 months ago. quite a lot of things happening in Singapore in the past few months, and i really need recharge now. although taiwan is as mezzy, noisy, and i almost gonna knock down by car twice, i still feel great to be back here =)

time for a holiday, and tons of comics!! countless variety shows!! relatives!! and most importantly, GOOD FOOD!!!

<3TAIWAN<3,here i come!!

NTU 卡拉OK行

2008-11-26T19:54:00.003+08:00

went singing with my NTU friends yesterday =)

when we were meeting at the ChinaTown Mrt station, one of our friends suddenly mentioned our class guys were coming here to sing too... and they were going to some $10 singingplace [where we were going as well].... but since we didnt see any of them there, we thought they were not going the same place as us. when we reached the venue, we poped our heads around for fun, juz to see the guys are here too. then we realized THEY ARE RIGHT NEXT TO OUR ROOM!!!

lol... what a coincidence. felt like kind of class gathering ;p

it turned up to be one of our claz guy's 21st birthday so they were there to celebrate for him. the girls joined the guy's room to sing the birthday song for him =) then the waitor came in and was shocked that everyone in our room disappeared... haha. but he still managed to find us next door lah [coz he was passing the bill to the guys too :p]

then we stayed in the guys' room to sing 男女對唱... first time singing that with guys ^^ so quite fun [but the girls were more in tune...haha]. we went back to our room only becoz we saw some stranger walking around outside our room so wanna check if our things still there. then Kim Yein wanna continue her 對的人 [coz we told her if we dun go back, her 對的人就要變成錯的人了....lol]

Overall, it was quite a fun experience. and got to see Zixin's accompnaiment dance...haha. too bad not joining sentosa with them today. hopefully next year can still be in the same class with them, and go out again together ^^

end of exam... HURRAY!!

2008-11-25T09:56:00.003+08:00

what is worse than having 2 papers on the same day?

it is to be sick yet still have to take the 2 papers.

have been sick since thursday. quite sudden. like "pia" then start to have running nose, then next day sore throat+ coughing. can't really study for my exam. and still got YO and need to work during weekend >< exam =")" color="#33ffff">[or else i think i will never step into the shop... rather expensive =.='' lol]

the food there is really nice ^^ and quite a lot of choices too [we had a hard time deciding what to eat :P ] . good place to recommend for future dinning venue ;) [limited to every monday and for ladies only.... haha]

think we are going singing today [no, it is not kbox]. kim yein said she knows a place in chinatown that is only $10 and got free flow of drinks + some biscuits... want to drop by and see =) hopefully my throat is slightly better now, or else can only be cheerleaders or eater then ;P

betrayed

2008-11-20T10:56:00.003+08:00

i thought i could be over with it. apparently i can't. that's why i am here to 發洩....

getting enough from people who took things from me for granted and then use them to gain creditts from others.

i have been treating you like my real friend, even though i have heard about how are you like from others, but i still have faith in you.

AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME

i was really angry when i received the call. can't believe you did it to me...

so, i should take back all my trust in you
as you have wasted all the faith i have in you

from today onwards,
I will not regard you as my good friend anymore.

because you don't deserve it.

the other side of the story

2008-11-07T14:42:00.004+08:00

met my ex-classmate last night. she has been training hockey in CCAB for 3 months but that was the first time i met her XP

as usual, we started chatting abt the old sch life, our life in university, exchange information about other ex-classmates blah blah blah. then she mentioned somethings to me which i wasn't aware of in my life.

sometimes, what you see doesn't mean what it is.

sometimes, when love is lack of excitement, you won't want to continue with it anymore.

the main conclusion i got from her last night. it strikes me quite hard. as i never thought about them before.

maybe like what eliz said, unless someone come straight to me and say he loves me, i would never find out. love, is juz too far away for me X(

however, there is something which she mentioned and i did agree with it:

we are all looking for accompanyment. so sometimes, even if we are together, we are not the real friends towards each other. we juz look like we are friends.

so, you are not my friend. we are just making use of each other, so we don't feel lonely.

the truth is,
人與人之間, 只是一連串利用以及被利用的關係吧...

reflection on this sem

2008-11-05T00:18:00.003+08:00

juz a blink of eyes, this sem is ending soon.

felt i had been doing projects and quizs and presentations non stop for this sem.... had never did so project in my life so far, and heard it will be even worse next sem =.= [ the common description for next sem is Three day school, four day project !!!] haiz...

currently i was quite angry with my IT teacher. i am ok with online quiz, BUT AT LEAST GIVE ME THE QUESTION PAPER BACK!!! quiz supposes to help us identify our weakness, NOT FOR YOUR ACADEMIC USE ONLY!!! somemore everyone got diff question for the quiz. and my questions are those you never taught in class... how do you expect me to ans ?! ROOOAAAARRR~~~~

my communication foundation group presentation is ok.... for me i guess. my groupmates are brace enough to attempte go without script. and forgot their speech half way ><. i m not that brave so i brought my script along... guess the teacher didn't catch my voice trembling....

business law.... em i have not been doing the tutorial for ages.. but it doesn't make a diff coz eventually i need to rewrite all my answers. the teacher is not bad , but he took TOO LONG to answer the question!! 1.5 hr for part a of a question is far too much >< and please don't walking back and fro during lesson anymore , you are making us dizzy @.@

my accountancy teacher is a tai tai. she looks juz like the type sitting at home and do nothing except shopping and drink afternoon tea... i would love her more if she stops her "go by seating arrangement bane calling" and insists tt is to help us get participation points...

lastly the financial management teacher. ALL OF US LOVE HIM!!! if he is teaching another course next year, i will be one of the first few to register under him!!!

juz one more day then end of school... exams coming next week!! Jiayou Shu Fang for the exams!!

3 more weeks before going back to Taiwan =)

CO function concert

2008-10-22T17:19:00.002+08:00

i has my first ever CO performance on monday. it was not really a WOW formal concert, but a function background music by mini co ensemble. it was something rather new to me. And it was really fun. =) though the pieces are ... em.... screwed. coz we dun have pracs on the pieces individually to make them perfect, but run through a lot of pieces to have more variety. so lots of details were neglected, and we took turns to get lost =.= guess gu zheng ensemble is the only one that didn't make mistakes ;p

during the function, many different types of drinks were served, including WINES!!! [ i know the ppl in yo will go crazy when they heard abt this.... 18 bottles of wine!!!] i tried almost every drink there, so they said i was drinking from everyone's cup =P

apparent videos were taken by our very own co member, but becoz no one cares abt it [or we purposely ignored it], so you will see we chating during page turning, senior slapping each others coz he always made mistakes, discussion of what song to play next blah blah blah. wonrg note ?? so common that we became used to it [oops]. and for ye shang hai, we juz lost each other along the way and fade off one by one slowly, in the end only left with one erhu to continue [yes i was lost too... =.=] . it was rather embarrasing experience...

when we were packing up, 2 seniors were asked to sit in the van so that could take care of the instru along the way. for a moment, it looked like some prisoner going to prison ...lol . so when the senior came back, we told him that "一年過得真快,你已經出來啦?", the senior was very corporative, he replied that"對呀,不能回頭,不能回頭!!" and 假裝繼續往前走...haha

conclusion for the event: what is the brand for the white wine??? want to get it soon ;P

so who is the hypocrite

2008-10-18T03:58:00.003+08:00

was reading a blog. she said quite a lot of bad things about others, even though in real life she always looked so happy and enjoyable with the people around her. it was really scary to me. as i never know what was she really thinking now. to me, i think i treat her fairly ok and nice, yet to her i seems to be scary and should keep a distance of, even though normally she is rather close to me.

this is freaky. to have someone around you whom you never know what is she really thinking and feeling about you.

in one of her post she broke up with one of her friend. yet from the comments, her friend dun even know they had broke up until she saw the entry herself. moreover, her friend left several comments try to get back the relationship, but was totally ignored. poor friend. she dun even know she was portrayed so badly in her best friend's mind before that.

quite extreme to me. even though i did dislike/hate some people, but i still try to keep everyone as friends. maybe not close, but surely pure hatred and no relationship... it was too harsh a punishment, to me and to the other party...

the ironic is, on her blog, her most hatred characteristic of people is fake and hypocrite....

so, when angels grow up, they do not remain as angels. indeed, they become devils.
what a sad truth.

rotting blog

2008-10-05T21:52:00.002+08:00

em... ok. it has been 3 months since i last updated. [actually ever since Italy then i gave up on updating]

this has to do a lot with change in mindset. was influenced a lot by the ppl around me. some are good, some are bad. some are happy and sad. i am not really sure that i want to share this precious experience with everyone, coz it is really personal. so it should juz leave in my mind, and let me treasure it until the day i forgot. :P

for my current university life, quoto a phrase i read "btu guess should be ok.一切平安,六畜興旺,佛祖有保佑". I survived accountancy quiz and IT quiz [which i totally forgot to study one whole chapter yet managed to get 90/100 ... 汗很大].FM quiz result is unknown. but should be ok bah....

Academic schedule for next week: Communication Oral assessment tomorrow, accountancy project due on wednesday, FM project due on sunday and IT project due next monday.

Non academic schedule for nect week: CO photo taking tmr, CO rhsl on monday, ponning CO on tuesday to send Sharon Ling at T3, bass lesson on wednesday, no more tuition until next yr, one more piano student on sunday,CO concert on next monday

em... ok. i need more than a guidebook to become a successful business woman, i need a stopper to stop the time too -.- 24 hours are definitely not enough for me !!!

high~~ NO school TOMORROW

2008-07-08T23:39:00.002+08:00

tomorrow , at the same time as now, i will be on the plane off to Italy ~~~

ok. this is not the only reason why i am so high now. or why everyone in YO is so high about tonight. the main reason is becoz we did a GREAT job for concert tonight!!! the Symphonic Suite is AWESOME!! almost 100% perfect [well, some errors are inevitable...]. The William Tell really make me want to jump with the music =) the Butterfly Lover is so sweet. Dvorak... em... everything is good except the last movement lah.... so overall it is still a great concert!!! WELL DONE everyone ^^

this is also my first time playing in esplanade... i was lost a few times but luckily that there are always ppl ard to guide me along the way =.= personally i think esplanade got better facilities but their rules and regulations are more detail and strict. such as "Cannot tkae instruments until audience has all left" and only gave us 10 minutes to take photos on the stage becoz they want to clean up.... VCH is much more friendly for the first time =P

first time our section got a changing room all to ourselves!! what a memorable moment... with toilet somemore :P and the lights around the mirror burnt a hole on dinah's shoe bag ...lol. guess she will remember this room forever too.

ok time to sleep. need to pack and get ready for the trip tomorrow!!
pity the children who are still going for school tomorrow... god bless all of you *amen*

24 hours more to go!!

great week =)

2008-07-04T23:48:00.002+08:00

YES!! managed to collect my Italy Visa today~~ guarantee can go Italy now ^.^
suppose to collect it yesterday. but went to RJ to watch Sharon Ling's Lit week production. so missed the collection time by FIVE minutes. damn it. but i dun regret going to the play. coz it is really cool and really good !! the actress' evil eyes rocks!!

was chatting with ngan yesterday on our way to the RJ play. then we started discussing abt the
NTU health checkup. we had quite a fun time discussing abt the urine test. then we startedto regret abt discussing it before lunch. lol. typical thing i will do with ngan :P It was really fun to go out with her, coz she knows almost every shop the in shopping centre and their specializes... i got to know singapore better becoz of wan ngan ching... lol

got the new YO bass section Jersey!! the 2nd jersey i have so far!! it is a big too long for me but it is too small for all the guys in our section...lol. they are too muscular [if put it in a more positive way :P... juz joking] also got the YO stickers [which is bigger than my bow case... wonder how am i going to stick it], the YO jacket [i like the quality and the size. and it is light too!! but the words behind is a bit big lah.... em... juz realize i am a very picky person =.=]. still got a Bass section shirt haven't collect yet. but we gave one to Mr lim already. he looks so happy receiving it ^^ wonder when is he going to wear for us O.o :P

5 more days to Italy... hurray!!

em... time to update

2008-06-28T20:56:00.003+08:00

ok. i should have blog Ms Yeo's great BBQ looong ago. but coz i was seiosly busy with a lot of things. and I was attacked by the new virus called "desperate for sleep" [i mean it... i have been sleeping like i have never slept before. and i took TWO hours to wake up everyday!! not including the 8 hours of sleep i already have =.=] so for the past week, i was either busy or unconscious.

so last week, we got a great BBQ at Ms Yeo's place. all of us agreed that the highlight of the event was when King got drunk [especially the walking in a straight line part... CLASSIC!! i sweared he was walking towards the left.. anyone filmed it down ??]. Personally i think the dumping people into the pool was great too, since they did took of the handphone, wallet , socks and shoes before they throwing anyone down :P [and Jed still tried to dry his handphone on the BBQ pit... kids nowadays :P] Dinah was drinking non stop during the whole BBQ.. and she still managed to stay awake!! we should give her a prize for that :P

this monday, went to esplanade with Hanyou. We got lunch together @ suntec porridge buffet. we only took for 2 rounds and we CANNOT finish the food!! lol. this never happened in my buffet history... quite a record to me too :P then hanyou has to force me to eat more... lol. we went to look for bass dip scores. but apparently Ms Yeo's bookshelf have more bass books then esplanade , so we spent most of the time searching for vocal scores for Hanyou's sister instead [she insisted the score must be in Italian, but she dunno Italian at all... i am quite curious how is she going to sing it if she dunno the language O.o]

Tuesday had dinner with Eliz. trying to persuade her to accept her challenge from God in a more positive manner :P then i wanted to test her if she can lie. So i took out a blue pen and ask her to say "this is a red pen" [a plot i learn from the movie "liar liar"].... she just stared at me and laughed non-stop. coz she said i looked like some evil witch luring kids to do bad things =.= [well, i can't deny that. i was thinking evil when i was doing that] SMU's CCA are quite interesting.... got wine tasting club!! this is going to attract dinah a lot :P though personally i like the travelling club a lot... wonder if they bring people oversea free of what :P

friday is the best. I went to Italy Embassy for my Italy Visa . OMG it is $126!! so ex!! no wonder everyone want to be Singapore citizen.... the people there are 10000 times nicer than the France Embassy people. but their requirement are very weird. muz be attn to italy embassy, cant be whom it may concern; the transaction history [which i printed from online] muz have my name on it, muz have letter from MOE to prove they subsidized for me blah blah blah. so the whole morning i just took cab and flied around Newton and Novena [coz the application time is between 9.30am to 11.30noon... so very rush.] but the people around me are very nice to me that day :P so i managed to submit everything on the day itself !![ i took 2 weeks to submit in France embassy.. coz they dun tell me everything i was lack of at once .. so everytime i went there, they just told me one thing i dun have, then i have to go again =.=]. YES~~ hopefully can the the visa approved by next week!! if i cant get it back by next week, then i cant go Italy =.= pray hard now.

Dinah is flying to Hungary for her audition today. ALL THE BEST DARLING !! we are all behind you and support you!! YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT!!

2 more week to Italy.... counting down now :)

龍貓等於死神說兩姐妹在故事裡面已死?

2008-06-18T16:51:00.004+08:00

i am not very sure how many singapore kids watch Japanese cartoon by 宮崎駿
at least Taiwanese kids love it a lot [my brother and i watched almost every cartoon by him when we were young]

i love 龍貓 a lot coz it is a very sweet cartoon. it is purely family and friendship and monsters. nothing horrible, eerie or sad throughout the whole cartoon.

however, after my brother showed me the website abt the inner stories behind the cartoon, the whole story became too heacy to me. it became such a sad story tt i dun dare to watch it one more time.

the content from the website is below. sorry it is in Chinese :P
[content refer from http://share.youthwant.com.tw/sh.php?do=D&id=21004174]

龍貓等於死神說兩姐妹在故事裡面已死?

龍貓其實是死神!! 途中妹妹的影子不見了!!等等
這個說法是在2007年2月左右開始傳開
動畫龍貓中其實有很多裏設定和裏故事
稍微整理了一下日文的資料
大概的翻譯一下
是巧合還是真實信不信就在於在個人了

大家推測的版本很多
其中有一種是其實兩姐妹已經在故事的途中死掉了
然後是父親在想像如果兩姐妹活著的話應該會這樣的故事
而父親在動畫裡面寫的小說就是這部”龍貓”的原稿

首先其實龍貓是死神，冥界的使者
和遇到龍貓的人都會死期將近或是即死
然後故事中母親入院的七國山病院的藍本
八國山病院其實是真的存在的
在網路上查一下就可以發現這個醫院是主要收容末期病患和精神病病患

故事途中妹妹小梅失蹤時候在池子裡面發現的她的拖鞋
其實那個時候妹妹就已經淹死在池子裡面了
姊姊皋月看到妹妹的拖鞋
由於不敢面對現實而說了”這不是小梅….”的謊而
在此之後的水池的拖鞋這一幕以後
兩姐妹出場都是沒影子的狀態
然後為了尋找小梅而來到當初和龍貓相遇的地方
「拜託…讓我見龍貓」
「龍貓，小梅迷路了
找了也是找不到
拜託幫我找小梅!! 現在…他一定是在哪裡哭著…
到底要怎麼辦才好?」
「原來大家都看不到…」
這一系列的台詞以後姊姊皋月自己開始了冥界的大門
而專門用來載靈魂的龍貓巴士就帶著姊姊皋月往妹妹的位置去了

最後母親在醫院的那幕
「現在，在那個樹上，我好像感覺皋月和小梅在那裡笑著」
不知只有母親彷彿看到了兩人兩人為何在附近
卻不和母親見面而卻放著帶有留言玉米?
其實是在那時候兩人都已經死亡
有一種說法是玉米的日文諧音剛好和”殺小孩”很相似

●小梅失蹤那幕以後，小梅的影子就不見了

●最後的一幕全員變年輕，其實那並不是事件之後的故事，
而是把生前的景象做成好像happy end一樣而已

●整個龍貓的故事的舞台是日本琦玉縣的所澤
在所澤這個地方昭和60年代曾經發生過一對姐妹被虐殺的狹山事件
而龍貓正是以這個狹山事件為藍本
兩個姐妹的名字
姊姊皋月(satuki) = 日文的5月
妹妹梅= May =英文的5月
(這兩個翻字典都可以翻到)
而狹山事件發生在5月1號
首先是妹妹不見，而被目擊姊姊慌張的尋找妹妹的情況
隔天妹妹在森林裡面被發現身中16刀被殺害
而姊姊大受打擊在對警察作筆錄的時候
說了一堆”貓的怪物” “見到很大的狸貓怪物”等等的意味不明的話
而母親已經病死是單親家庭等等和龍貓的故事有很多共通點

當初傳出這個說法時候
聽說好像有人打電話去吉布林詢問
而吉布林工作人員只是笑著承認了
最近因為消息一傳開
吉布林接到非常多的詢問電話“龍貓是不是死神”
“為何梅到最後沒有影子”等等
所以吉布林在部落格上面公佈沒有影子
是因為在這個地方的作畫上判斷不需要影子所以才沒畫
(謎…還有判斷覺得不需要影子所以沒畫@@〉)
http://www.ghibli.jp/15diary/003717.html

到底是不是真的
就讓各位去判斷了

first day of yo pre-tour camp

2008-06-13T14:15:00.002+08:00

to start the fresh new day, i decided to give a 2hr sectional to my dear bass section [which eventually turn out to be correcting sectional for certain ppl.] even though i arrange the sectional at 11am, dinah still came with a pair of sleepy eyes. and she FELL ASLEEP while taking her bass out of the case =.= the euro worldcup is really driving her mad :P [coz need to stay awake to catch it every night]

after lunch, we had another sectional, this time conducted by ms karen yeo [she rocks!!] she even baked pop-corns for us to eat during the sectionals... so nice. then we spent half of the sectional discussing what food should she prepare for the BBQ next week. [dinah gave a lot of weird and funny ideas. like steaks, german beers... and ms yeo really took them into consideration...lol]

the tutti after dinner was the best ever for this term.[guess sectionals given by teachers really make a difference :P] i played so hard tt my right arm is still aching now [overuse...oucch!!]. too bad the second time everyone was tired so start to lose concentration... or else it would the the best rhsl ever :)

the student com actually started the camp activities by a SNYO student committee production named "Finding Florence". it was quite a lame video. but it managed to entertain everyone. so guess the goal is fulfilled. i love the part the adriel try to find Florence and the Local role played by Mrs Wong.[i never know mrs wong is such a great actress... lol]

can't wait to join them again tonight =) should be quite fun [though heard tt the living environment is quite... not hotel/home like... but we are there to have fun!! not sleep... lol (trying to convince myself)]

DJ time

2008-06-05T00:23:00.006+08:00

yoz. this is DJ shufang in the air. today in the Sleepwood Radio Station we got a mail from someone from the yo double bass section. she claims to be the SL of the double bass section and would like to thank her section for supporting her during the difficult times. to her, this whole event made her realise that she got so many friends around her to support her decisions. it also made her feel more bonded with people in the section. she is willing to do her best to lead the section, from now until she steps down[em... personally I am not sure whether this means good or not].

anyway, our miss sl would like to dedicate this song to her dearest section, to show her deepest appreciation for all their encouragements along the way. It is "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. this song represents how important the whole bass section is to our miss SL, and she wants to say a BIG THANK YOU for all of the members in her section. Now, let's enjoy "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys.
if i aint got you - alicia keys

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me

[Chorus:]
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you

[Outro:]
If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby

1st encounter

2008-05-30T00:00:00.006+08:00

this is the 2nd time i m experiencing this. and it still feels as bad as before.
being accusing of backstabbing again.

it's ok. it is not purely my decision to do so. but if he really need someone to blame on. i can take it.
juz hope he can accept it.
it will be easier for everyone too.

sometimes, over-defending yourself only makes life miserable for everyone. coz not all are willing to listen to your excuses. no matter how reasonable they are.

hope today's tribal counseling will mark an end for everything.
hope things get settled before the concert and tour.
hope he can understand my position too.
just hope.

the first victory

2008-05-27T21:21:00.002+08:00

within half an hour, i have gained myself a castle, an army, and the right to defeat the dragon.

it feels like 杯酒釋兵權 to me.. as everything gets solve so fast.
quite funny tt i have been worried abt it for so long.

so thursday will be my first battle with the evil dragon.
everything is going to be find. i am trying to make myself believe in this.
since i have informed everyone i need and did everything i need to prepare for this moment.

hope i am getting myself a new helper and partner. not more enemies =.=

continue praying now ...

it's time

2008-05-27T01:33:00.002+08:00

ok. after a few difficult and painful mental struggles, i decide to face the evil dragon directly.

no point praying and hoping the evil dragon will be enlightment and become good all by himself.

and i can't always let the dragon attacks me and upsets my days. EVERYTHING MUST COME TO A STOP !!

so i should take my first step tomorrow: find a castle to protect myself from dragon's fireballs and an army to attack the dragon. most likely a wise to give more strategies to counter the dragon.

worse come to worse then i have to let my ppl down. but it's ok. at least i did try my best. and i think that's enough =)

thank you for people who gave me a lot of suggestions and supports =) you did provide me with excellent weapons and armors to deal with the dragon.

all armed and equipped.
mr dragon, here i come!! :P

weather: shinning to drizzle

2008-05-25T00:12:00.005+08:00

i muz be cursed by the God this year. so i suddenly become busier than i ever was, even during my school days. all the rhsls and lessons and tuitions and works are starting to kill me!! it also includes getting unwanted responsibilities and face ppl who i cant stand with =.= *sigh*

during one of the interview, i debated with my interview abt work life balance. i told him tt i dun want to make music my career no matter how much i like it, becoz i dun want to get tired of it one day, and realized i have nothing except music. he argued tt then i will be very sad in my career, coz i have spent all my interest and love in music, so i will have nothing to spare for my career. then i rebuted by telling him tt that's why i want to choose the particular course. becoz the certain characteristics it, so i can juz imagine i am making another type of music at work :P [looks crap... but from the interviewer's face, i think i did managed to make it sound convincing =)] it sounds very ironic now. coz i am already getting tired of it. as well as all the politics behind it. i felt i am not enjoy the pure music anymore. every time i play, i am carrying such a heavy responsibility to guide everyone tt i cant concentrate on juz enjoying the music and do my best... miss the days when i can juz enjoy the music from the bottom of my heart.

multi-task is never my strength. i juz cant play my part and listen to the whole section, as well as shoot evil eyes to them whenever they play wrongly/off/out of tune... especially when i cant even read the score properly at my position and thus have to memorize the score part by part, so tt i can play and look at the conductor at the same time... is there by any chance can i change desk partner?

there are less and less happy things in yo for me to update here...
i think i need a break to search back my passion and joy and love for music...

自我厭惡

2008-05-17T21:55:00.002+08:00

in the state of self hatred.
think i failed in everything.. leadership, public relationship, family relationship...

i am turning into someone whom i dun recognize.

i feel i am so far away from the section now. it seems to have a lot of things going on but i am always the last one to know about them. and i hate to be the last one to know what's going on around me.

start to understand how the king used to feel last time. but at least he got his RI friends to accompany him then. but for me, the bass section is my everything in yo. without them, i dun have anything anymore.

if got promoted means have to separate from all of you, then i wish i have never been promoted.

it is so hard to find the right attitude to face all of them now. can't be too slack coz have the responsibility as a SL. but too serious then they will think i am trying to be dao since i am the SL now... i bet i am juz not the born-leader type. *sigh*

maybe it was about time to leave... dunno how much longer can i hang on in this state.

time to find a new place where i can belong to.

another term in YO

2008-05-16T03:04:00.003+08:00

finally got the documents regarding the Italy trip. The whole section is going except Gwyn[heard is his mum dun allow].. so we are all ready to get high, have great fun!! they extend the trip from 7 days to 10 days! more time, more fun!! [hopefully.. wish it was not more time, more concert, less tour -.-] and they also increase the subsidy... without subsidy everyone has to paid $3800. with it was $1000 at first. but now it was $750~~~ where on earth can you find such a cheap price to tour Europe!!

it suddenly reminded me of one incident. i was asking dinah whether we are going to share room in Italy again, like what we did in Vienna. then the woman REJECTED me!! said she wanted to share room with tedson *faint*. but she got good point too lah.."aiya, anyway we are going to sleep in the same room in the end, so dun have to care who share room with who lah..". last time Vienna the guys also came to our room [one of them was becoz his roommate took the key and disappeared. so he got no choice but came to our room]... so we were all ready to play though out the night!!

got the new schedule for the term... they are extending the rhsl hours and adding an extra tuesday rhsl from June holiday onward >.< [i was quite jealous with ppl whose excuse is they are going oversea... i want to go too~~].. well, at least i can mentally prepared for days i m going to lose a lot of members :P

hope can create a lot of wonder memories in the coming trip... juz like all the other trips =)

NTU HiTea

2008-05-11T23:55:00.002+08:00

went for NTU HiTea today. met a new friend Melissa [coz both of us couldn't find the shuttle bus together :P] It was quite an experience for me since i have already decided to accept the acc offer from NTU, so i know what questions i want to ask :)

the Prof gave the briefing seemed to be the interviewer of mine =.=" but not really sure abt it since it was so long ago [and i never rmb interviewers' their names]. the Yr 3 senior at our table was really nice ^*^ since there are only 3 undergraduates [plus one undergraduate's father and sister], so we were able to ask a lot of questions regarding life in NTU [even more if the father can shut up and stoping sharing his opinions on graduates nowadays.... really, none of us us interested. even you son.] He even promised to recommend profs for diff modules to help in the future. he also shared with us Hall lifes, campus lifes, academic stuffs blah blah blah... THANK YOU SENIOR ^*^

the only bad thing abt the HiTea today muz be the food. i bet the plate's radius is juz around 6cm... and there are only 4 types of food there. i was expecting really good food there so i didn't have my lunch [also no time lah... at least 1.5hr travelling time from my house to NTU]... went home with an empty stomach... should have bought something to eat beforehand :(

heard quite a few friends going NTU too.. hope can meet them in sch too :P maybe can ask them to share with me... haha

lookk forward to campus life now~~

Good News

2008-04-27T23:39:00.002+08:00

YES~~ I received the offer letter from NTU on Saturday!! although can't get into double degree [duh?! even Elizabeth and YanHeng can't get in...], i am still glad that i can go into NTU accountancy ^*^ next target into get into double major!! YES!!

juz bought a new camera.. coz my darling camera's batteries had spoilt. dunno what happened. juz bought them for 1.5 years [nobody can believe that they dead so fast... but it happened.]. buying a new battery in Singapore is S$60!![it is juz $10 in Taiwan... i check the price online.. feel like BXXT is robbing...]... this camera is in a very good offer. originally $600+, now is $399. the uncleis very nice, gace me two 4G SD card, one 2G SD card, 2 cleaning set, 2 extra batteries and a dry box to keep the camera.. that's quite a lot of thing to me.. not to mention the tripod and the screen protection cover..lol. feel like dancing with it tonight :P

got 2 new tuition student [used to be none]. they are my ex-neighbour's daughters. teach them maths for 1.5 hours each for 2 days every week. it is quite ok with me since i am always not bad in maths.. enjoy spending time with kids anyway :)

hope the lick can continue so that i can either find my student pass in time or able to get a new one soon !

today's mood: DON"T COME NEAR ME, I BITES!!

2008-04-22T17:48:00.002+08:00

this was really how i feel yesterday.

things have been bad. the only good thing happened to me this month was the steamboat at tedson's place. other than that, i have lost my wallet [fifth time], with my student pass cum EZ-link card [third time], a $10 note [numerous time], a lucky charm given by my grandmother [2nd time], my brother and my library cards [1st time for my brother, 1000th time for me] and neo-prints taken with my friends [frequently, thus i dun have any neoprints with me now, again. guess i really can't put them inside my wallet]

then, my 2 batteries for my dear camera were burnt. dun ask me why. the dear camera was alive [tried with a borrowed battery], but the batteries were really DEAD. and my mum's computer also dead [smell burnt near the plug], can't on it anymore. so all my photos in SE, RJCE, YO, Shanghai and Japan trips were all gone.

going on, i have a student who has neither spoke a single word to me nor look at me during her lesson with me for 3 weeks. not to mention about the frustrations received in yo.. ok. i shan't borrow Dinah's words and scream that "GOD HATES ME", becoz practically i think He hates everyone now.

The XXXX officer dun allow me to make a new student pass until i can prove to her that i can get into a university. so i must leave the statue of student for now, until August.

damn it . can't go Kbox and buy student meal anymore.

RJCE concert

2008-04-15T23:50:00.002+08:00

juz come back from RJCE concert. it was not as good as i expected. but i do love the last piece [coz it is really grand,,,RJCE+RGSSE]. I kept feeling tt i played the Suite for String Op.1 before.. but i can't rmb the occasion. and both Ngan &Joy claimed tt they never play it before... well, guess it will remain as a mystery :P

The upper strings r not united. the lower string rushed. the octect crashed the last chord wrongly. the RGSSE was ok. but lack of enough dynamic changes... kind of plain. Samuel Tho's solo was great [i dunno he is the SL now... but doing good :)]. guess the King will hate this program. coz the pieces are generally slow and not many things to bang to basses [they seemed quite bored throughout the concert... poor kids]

anyway, was out for dinner [i have been saying it as lunch throughout the day.. finally correct it] with Ngan and Mitch. was gossiping abt the happy days in RJCE and DHSSE. suppose to have it with Joy but she was delayed by work. suppose to buy things for my juniors but nobody supports my idea. was almost late for concert due to the crawling bus [and we only made it in time coz we ran our way in RJ]. suppose to go sports galley but there is no star tonight. suppose to go supper with Ms Ku but it's too late tonight [so postpone to 2nd May, aft DHSSE concert]. lots of "suppose to... but". but overall it is still a great night :P

heard WaiLee have been going back DHS to coach the basses. guess tt's why they dun need me today >< [kind of sad... but relieve too]. should be able to expect something better during the concert [muz do so.. coz my bro is performing ^.^]

looking forward to 2nd May~~

yawn~~

2008-04-11T00:14:00.002+08:00

the sleeping beauty must have a very boring life.thus she got nothing better to do than sleeping for one whole century. the prince wakes her up by torturing her, treated he like a maid and gave her tons of work that she can never finish. thus she never sleeps for that long in the rest of her life. and they live happily ever after.

that's the conclusion i drew after slacking at home for 4 months. with inspiration from the book "the book of lost things".

after slacking for so long, the only habit that i cultivated was the power to sleep anytime, anywhere, whenever i was bored. so i can sleep at 12noon to 2pm, or 7pm to 10pm.... luckily i still got a job. and i had been really hardworking in my past 10 years, so my mum hasn't been pissed with me yet... though soon.

ok. other than sleeping, i have been doing some readings. "the book of lost things" is a really great book. anyone who still have fantasies on fairy tales should go and read it and face the reality. the chinese version of CSI novel is horrible.. i still love the show better than the novel. was once fond of 禁咒師 by an online writer 蝴蝶. however lost interested in it coz can't find the last book, and most her stories are inter-link. so muz read all to get a whole picture... so tiring. borrowed "Eat, Pray,Love" recommended by Oprah. seems interesting book on TV but i never get to read it... maybe after i finish the Spanish-translated "風之影" on my table then i will consider abt that.

at least YO started again... preparing for the Italy trip. confirmed going. but pieces are not as challenging as the Vienna trip [notes are easier, but rhythm is more tricky]. changed desk partner to Yuze... not used to it coz have been standing with Dinah ever since i joined YO... well, shall continue to trip my best and lead the section =)

YO Bassists rocks =P

am i a lesbian?

2008-04-07T00:32:00.009+08:00

this is a question asked by somebody who doubt my sexual preference. coz he can't wooing my friend, and my friend always used me to reject the guy. so one day he asked my friend that whether I am a Lesbian.

My friend was totally pissed when she heard this question. though i was quite ok with it [ mainly becoz he didn't ask it in front of me... or i dun think he is still on earth now :P]

to answer his question, i have tried very hard to think of a better way to clarify his doubts. therefore, i came out with a few answers:

1. YES of course i am a lesbian! it all becoz the fact that the world is filled up with guys like YOU!!
make me totally give up on guys and decide to love girls for the rest of my life!! GL rocks!!

2. Yes. and we dun mind you join us... as long as you are willing to go Thailand and give up that "something", so that you can be part of us ^.^

3. em... good question, actually i dunno too. maybe i shall experience with your dream girl first then i decide.

4. No. actually i am bisexual.

5. No. can't you see i am a MAN~~ well not yet, going to be a man soon... maybe around next year when i returned from Thailand...

ok... these are really crappy answers. juz for gigs :P dun take it too seriously, loser. in case you are reading this post.

心理測驗

2008-04-05T03:18:00.002+08:00

well, it's really quite me. i like to try every new thing. i like to experience things i never have a chance to do, and may not have a chance in future. this card makes it sound not bad to be me :P

what's love?

2008-04-05T02:44:00.003+08:00

dun be so shocked. i am not in any relationship yet. not attached too. so stop giving that face !!

this question actually popped out for quite a while. quite a number of my friends are having relationships now [either is present tense, present continuous tense, past tense, future tense...] and some of them really like to consult me about their relationships [ok, i admitted i am gossipy, i love to ask people about their romances, i love to read romances, but i dun have any experience in it... so dun expect perfect answer from me, it's juz suggestions...]

after listening to different romances, looking at different couples, this question eventually appeared. to me, love is the feeling that you really want to be with someone, willing to spend the rest of your life with him/her, willing to accept everything about him/her, no matter in which aspects, no matter good or bad. love is respect and care for each other...

maybe i am juz innocent. i have idealized love too much. it may also becoz i have been raised in a full of love family, where my parent really respect each other and love each other. i actually believe tt according to my expectation toward love, i will never get married... well, shall wait and see. if not, i will juz start adoption when i was 30 yr old.

guess love is not juz about control. it shan't based on pity or the sense of being needed. it has to be a two way relationship. it will be boring too if the only common thing you have is your interest... [we used to joke that if 2 ppl who really love music and get married, the way they show their love towards ach other will be : i love Beethoven and his Symphony No.8, but I love you more!!]

think a perfect relation should be one that the couple can cover for each other's weakness and to make themselves better. it doesn't matter whether others think you are matched, as long as you enjoy it... anyway, you won't know if you are suitable for the one unless you try...

dunno why am i typing this. maybe have heard too much romances by now. sounds like love expert writing research papers =.=" wish i can stay this rational even when i were in love.

quote something the Mavis Monkey Army said before: You Never Know ~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WAN NGAN CHING~~

2008-04-01T10:50:00.009+08:00

happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to Ngan Ching......
Happy Birthday to Yoooouuuuuuu~~~~

hey woman, you have been one of, if not the best,my great friend in DHS and RJ. our register numbers were near, so we were always partner in Sports. you always teased that you are the victim of my violence, but you never really abandoned my in anything. The first person that share yellow and dirty jokes with me in Singapore ^.< used only purple for this entry, becoz it's your favourite colour.

if you happen to drop by my blog, then you will see that i am right here waiting,
waiting to say: My Friend, Happy Birthday to you ^.^

Gambai!!

2008-03-31T23:20:00.004+08:00

Went kbox with my tuition friends [elizabeth and huiyu] today. It’s really cool consider:

1) How many people have good relationship with your tuition friend? [in Taiwan/Japan, they will simply eat each other up before exams]
2) How many people keep in touch with tuition friends for 6 years, even after you are not in the same tuition centre anymore?

It’s my first time in Kbox. Great experience I muz say. Juz that it’s too expense if you are not using the student plan. We all sing until I can’t shout anymore. And Huiyu’s boyfriend helped us take photos [forgot not mention, we are a bunch of photo obsess people…]. We sang male, female, modern, old, duet, bands… songs, and the only common thing is they are all Chinese :P haha

After the kbox, we went to take neoprints too :) wonderful ending for a day ^^

missing the days when we bullied the tutors together... billy maya, mr ng... [laughing at mr maya's leg tatto, talking in ng's lesson coz we finished the practices too early, asking questions not related to english during english class and listening to all maya's stories...]

too bad can't visit ng today. muz find another day to go back and bully him and maya again !!

always, friends forever =) hope we can really keep this promise and continue our relationships, even if we were 100 yrs old. <3 cheers for out friendship !!

Sharing today’s photos and neoprints :D [I tried my best, but the neoprints are not that clear =.= ]our dear huiyu [she becomes so pretty~~ even i am jealous of her :P]

the queen Elizabeth [the kbox pro among us :)]

the S.H.E from Mavis Tuition Centre !! [Shufang Huiyu Elizabeth...lol]

~~~ NeoPrintz ~~~

end of everything

2008-03-28T12:19:00.004+08:00

ok. last 3 days i have been experiencing great changes and events in my life. for those who dunno, on 25 march 2008, i went for the NTU accountancy interview, i was appointed as the new SL for the bass section in YO(and it's 2 nights just before the concert), and i was scolded by an angry parent. I was totally stressed out on that night. so some ppl may have received my cries for help and managed to console me then. Thank you for being there when i was so desperate~~ ^.^

so on 26 march, things began to sort out. I told the ex-first desk ppl abt the YO management board and the conductor's decision. TC understood perfectly, and he came back to console me not to feel so bad (how sweet :)) coz he was expecting that to happen. YZ think he got valid excuses and couldn't accept the fact, so he dragged TC to reflect to the management board. i shan't explain the politics involved here, but anyway, the management board promised to look at this matter aft the concert.

that very night, the music school also called me and told me not to take things too serious. they said as teachers will always face some irrational parents, and shall not become miserable , coz that what they want you to be. Feeling much much better after hearing from music school. As least they proved all the thing i did before hasn't been denied...

last night marked the end of YO march concert 2008. It also signifies the departure of Dinah's "dream boyfriend" , Mr Bundit. his conducting is really great!! the woodwinds came out crystal clear and i totally enjoyed playing during the concert. Being the SL doesn't seems as bad as i thought. many ppl (includes Ms Ku, Wen Jin, Mr Tay...) all said the bass section sounds good !! =) [Dinah is suggesting that becoz we got surround sound system in bass section now... so cover some unwanted noise away... lol]. so the concert turned up to be a success. and i am really proud of the bass section ^^. [including running around to get autograph from Mr Bundit, Mr Lim, Mr Tay, and the..... camera man?! ]

also met my primary school music teacher before the concert. she was the one introduced me to double bass. Haven't seen her for ages... and she doesn't seem to age at all...=.= quite surprising. but great to meet her.

mrs wong told us there is buffet and we can go and eat during haydn concerto. ben and i were complaining coz we have to play for it =.= so our lovely section mates packed 5 boxes of food for us, and we had picnic in front of VCH after the concert,under the moon. romantic right :P [actually i wish they packed the wines too... but they couldn't ><... lol, juz joking]

the king smsed us before concert to wish us good luck. that's really nice of him, considered what has happened to him recently. but he smsed at the wrong time, coz ben and YZ were fighting over the touch screen projector at funan centre with some small kids then =.= so the king had to ask them to grow up and stop being so childish ... juz like the old times :P

some photos from the concert... taken by Sandra (thanks darling ~~)

We and Mr Bundit (with his autographed concert booklet fan :P)

Dinah and me :)

Our first full section photo ^.^

The unglam me before concert :P

tired

2008-03-26T01:39:00.003+08:00

i am tired... physically and mentally tired.

yesterday was too much for me... too much changes. too much jobs. too much responsibilities. too much regrets and sorry. i feel i can't breathe under this atmosphere. i am afraid to sleep now. coz i hate the feeling that i am alone in the world. and the nightmares are coming to haunt me soon...

someone save me. please.

i am not ready for the new post and new responsibility. it feels like i step on others' heads to get it. every congratulation sounds so sarcastic. it is like a curse. remind me the heavy responsibilities. it stands there, laughing, waiting to see when i am going to fall...

why is it so hard to please everyone??

apparently i failed. therefore i suffers. maybe econ is right. there are limited resources yet human wants are unlimited. so the problem of scarcity will always occur. since there is only one me, and so many people around me. collapse of interests will always happen. and i, will continue to the cause and victim of the problems...

i am tired. really tired.

people always said i am evil. but guess i am still too nice. or else why do i feel sad for others. it's not my decision. it's not my choice. but everyone think i am the cause the problem. what do you expect me to do? i am juz a JC graduate... not even an university student! i have limited working experience. how shall i face all the carnivores in the society?

so please. set me free.

life is juz too much pressure. too much expectations. miss the days when i was still young and innocent. want to be in some place, where there is no politics. no power. no money. no sch. no parents. no enemy. no hatred. no ambitions. i just want to enjoy life. enjoy every moment. enjoy making music. enjoy teaching. is that too much to ask too?

i dunno. i really dunno.

i am too burnt out to ask for an answer.

let it be. just let it be.

exactly 2 months

2008-03-19T12:39:00.003+08:00

ok. this is exactly 2 months since I last update.

during this period of time, i have experience the great joy over my A level result, the great embarrassment of saying bad things abt others and ganna scolded. I have helped my bass teacher baby-sit her 3 children so she can have the spare energy to pack and move house. I have been to 1 bass section outing, 1 NTU talk and 2 university open-house. i have been teaching piano on every Friday and Sunday without break (except public holidays... yup). Other than that, I have been slacking.

see, i am really honest. (i know what you are thinking : ok. it's shameless.. to be exactly)

the truth is, i couldn't update my blog in Feb coz my parent were in Singapore. And they are going to kill me if they see me using computer everyday without a proper excuse. if you are thinking that aft my dad went back Taiwan aft CNY and my mum went back last week, i should have the time to update my blog, then YOU ARE SO WRONG!!! haha, coz i have been trying out my new computer (bought from my bro using S$100), with all the games and programme, completely forgot to update the blog, until now.

So sorry. but i am a real slacker from the bottom of my heart. as much as you think how evil i am :P

anyway, there had been some things going on in YO recently. yet i am not sure how am i going to express it. it felt like something which should keep within the section. so maybe i should keep my mouth shut on it . however, becoz of this, YO seems to be less attractive to me. I am not the kind of person suitable for politics. but this is getting serious now. sigh. guess people change once they taste the joy of having power and authority. it will never be the same.

another big sigh. ai.

time to go back to my sofa and get sedimental in front of my beloved TV...

P.S dear Ah Ma, muz i change my blog skin?? i spent 2 days to look for this one and edit it to suit my needs eh... i am not a blog expert like you anyway ><>

being lazy

2008-01-19T20:47:00.000+08:00

ok... i have heard from a number of my fans (oops... friends) that i haven't updated my blog for too long (exactly one month and 4 days). So i decide that i shall write something here to show everyone that i am still alive, so dun worry too much about me. the other reason is becoz i dun want to break our dear Ah Hua's record (think she hasn't updated for almost an year... those who are interested pls go to the *links* and click on Ah Hia Li Hui to visit her blog =P)

em.... so now yo has started, king has left for NS (farewell and stay alive ~~). but this doesn't mean we basses have less power in yo. in fact, they suddenly promote 3 bassists up from TO to YO, and this has made the current bass population to a new height of 10 people!!!really crowded during rhsl. yet having more player doesn't guarantee play better. a number of us feeling that the ex-king will die if he heard us now... it is really out of tune. although all of us know who are the potential suspects are, there is nothing we can do about it =.= (like kicking them back into TO and let them rot there). however, this also motivates me to practice harder so that hopefully i dun have to worry so much that it's me out of tune during rhsls...

ooh, mrs wong told me that there is no bass assessment so far .luckily... think i am not ready for it.. but that also means there will be on coming up =.=. anyway, YO is going to bring 8 bassists there, so an assessment will definitely be necessary. em.. so there is 80% chance that i can go Italy =) hope i am in the 80% :P start saving now !!

i am getting used to the life of no sch now : wake up at 10am everyday, watch CSI NY at 11am and wash the dishes during the breaks, lunch at 12pm, clean the house at 1pm, if not surf the net till 4pm, then practice bass till 5pm, dinner at 6pm,play computer game until 10pm, then watch House/CSI/CSI NY/CSI Miami (depends on which day it is), then go to back at 12 am. What a regular life. If my mum dun come back next week, i dun think i am going to miss sch anymore. XP

still looking for jobs. but it seems no job can cope with my current timetable =.=" guess i just stick to my current job and help others teachers to do make up classes to earn some extra money then... was thinking that i can take 2 jobs and earn at least $1k per month. guess it has to remain as a dream :(

well, just hope anyone will remember to call me if there are good lobangs going on =P

肉粽+火腿

2007-12-15T21:33:00.000+08:00

Since years ago, I have been bothered by my style of walking as my family always say my way of walking is wrong. So this time during my Taiwan stay, I went to see quite a number of 中醫 and 推拿師 to see if anything wrong with my legs. The conclusion is : I HAVE 長短腳!!! all the doctors said my right leg is shorter than my left leg [ most probably because I 扭到 my right leg long ago and never treated it =.=]

Ever since then, I have been going to clinics to treat my legs. Recently, the 推拿師 like to wrap my ankle up with medicine to help its recovery. it looks really like 肉粽.. =.= but today, he said my knee has been hurted before too so he wrapped my knee too.So my right leg not only have 肉粽 , but 火腿 too =X

傳說中的燒肉粽!

肉粽+火腿...夠"結實"吧!=D

IT exhibition

2007-12-11T19:24:00.000+08:00

went to Taiwan IT exhibition a few days ago. It was one of the greatest event that my brother muz attend every year [ juz want to soak in the mood... and to grap some freebies =P]

this year, we went on the last day of exhibition. it so happened to be a Sunday, so the whole exhibition hall was SUPER crowded!! while i was inside, i felt i am not walking by myself, by juz moved by the crowd. and it is impossible for you to change direction, the people juz push you along the way or make you stop there for a loooonnnngggg time until you can figure anyway to get out of there!! my brother and i were stuck in the same spot for more than 5 minutes !!

At first my brother wants to buy a new computer while i am looking for a laptop [ the cool one which you can touch the screen to command and can turn its screen 180 degress!!], However, while we were inside, there was simply no time for you to look anything as you juz get carry away by the crowd =.= so we only managed to grab a lot of free DMs home to study =.= [Anyway, after looking through the internet, we realised the things autioning on the internet are much cheaper than the IT exhibition.... so it is kind of lucky that we didn't buy anything there =P]

aft the exhibition, we went to meet up my mum at the nearby agricultural exhibition. while my mum was busy looking through the items, i went to the neighbouring book stall to read the children books [i know i am too old to read them... but i juz can't the attraction from colourful friction books ><]. the funny thing is, when the sales wanted to persuade me to buy the books, they always started bu guessing your age. the first sale guessed i am secondary 2/3 student [ i am sure i looks that young.. but still happy about that (^///^)] but the other sale guessed i am University 3/4 student [that is much closer..]. Can't believe their guess is so different =.='' wondering how old i really looks actually...

moving "house"

2007-12-07T20:28:00.000+08:00

this Tuesday my brother and i went to Southern part of Taiwan with my grandmother and 2 uncles. This trip was to move the bones of my great-grandfather from tomb to the 靈骨塔. So we spent 2 days at 麥寮, where my dad used to grow up at, to be part of the ceremony.

It was a really different experience as I never got to see my great-grandfather in my life, but yesterday, i got to see his bones... I also got to meet a lot of relatives (they are alive) that i dunno who they are ( so i juz stand aside and stone... quite boring actually)

the most extreme experience happened when i saw some people sitting outside the 靈骨塔 with some things on their mats. at first i thought they were selling things related to funeral. however, after a closer look, i suddenly realised that the things are human skeletons!!! these skeletons were wrapped with red strings and arranged in a organised manner, some even with skulls.... it was quite a really scary experience =.=

this time my grandmother, my brother and i were staying at my grand-uncle's place. the relatives are super nice people ^^ my little cousin is so cute ~~ keeps sticking with me and even wants only me to feed her ^0^ my brother said i was not playing with her, i was playing her :p(but she can only speak Hokkian.. and language is never my strength =.='' so there is certain communication problem existing ) However the other one is really noisy =.= kept screaming around and stopped me from watching my favourite cartoon and television ><.. bad boy

P.S. coz the place i went is too spiritual, i dun dare to take any photos (scared there will be ghosts appearing in them =S) so no photo this time..

Some Photos of me at Taiwan

Can you see the Rainbow??

WOW

2007-11-28T10:41:00.000+08:00

em... it has been almost 2 months since i last updated my blog.

during this 2 months,the A'level had finished (thank God!!!), and i had come back to Taiwan for 2 weeks already. yet i am still not out of the nightmare of A'level... keep dreaming i had missed one of the paper or i am going to fail it =.= My dad said that's the kind of pressure that studying too hard will cause... and it will last for years =.= He even dreamt about failing his papers NOW!!! think i will continue dream about it even when i am 40 years old -.-

Anyway, during my 2 week stay in Taiwan so far, i have been doing nothing except reading comics, play PS2, learning Hokkian through watching the Taiwan soap dramas and learning Japanese by through cartoons.. the usual holiday lifestyle =P

During the weekends, my dad had taken us to several interesting spots for meals and for tour. Just last Sunday, we went to 淡水 for a Childhood Memory Tour, as we kept eating things that we used to eat, doing things we used to do and go to places that we used to go when my brother and I were young. Eventually, we even found the restaurant that my whole family used to love so much yet had moved away 10 years ago ^.^

My dad foresees that by the time we go back to Singapore next year, we will be 3 little pigs =.=''... em... guess i better start my exercise plan to lose some weight now =.=

So probably will leave Singapore right after A'level.. dun miss me too much. have fun during the concert =)

龍應台－明白

2007-08-25T10:10:00.000+08:00

昨天在聯合早報上讀到台灣作家龍應台的一篇文章,覺得感觸很深. 我們在年輕時常常抱怨母親不了解我們的煩惱,卻忘了母親也曾年輕過,也曾受過生命的種種折磨. 這篇文章, 使我更能體諒母親.

與大家共勉之.

====== 我是分格線 ======

龍應台－明白
二十歲的時候，我們的媽媽們五十歲。我們是怎麼談她們的？

　　我和麗茹在一個浴足館按摩，並排懶坐，有一句沒一句地閑聊。一面落地大窗，外面看不進來，我們卻可以把過路的人看個清楚。這是上海，這是衡山路。每─個亞洲城市都曾經有過這麼一條路──餐廳特別時髦，酒吧特別昂貴，時裝店冷氣極強，燈光特別亮；牆上的海報一定有英文或法文寫的“米蘭”或“巴黎”。最突出的是走在街上的女郎，不管是露著白皙的腿還是纖細的腰，不管是小男生樣的短發配牛仔褲還是随風飄起的長發配透明的絲巾，一颦一笑之間都輻射著美的自覺。每一個經過這面大窗的女郎，即使是獨自一人，都帶著一種演出的神情和姿態，美美地走過。她們在愛戀自己的青春。

　　麗茹說，我記得啊，我媽管我管得煩死了，從我上小學開始，她就怕我出門被強奸，到了二十幾歲還不準我超過十二點回家，每次晚回來她都一定要等門，然後也不開口說話，就是要讓你“良心發現，自覺慚愧”。我媽簡直就是個道德警察。

　　我說，我也記得啊，我媽給我印象最深的就是她的“放肆”。那時在美國電影上看見演“母親”的講話輕聲細氣的，渾身是優雅“教養”。我想，我媽也是杭州的綢緞莊大小姐，怎麼這麼“豪氣”啊？當然，逃難，還生四個小孩，管小孩吃喝拉撒睡的日子，人怎麼細得起來？她講話聲音大，和鄰居們講到高興時，會笑得前仰後阖，會笑得彎腰一直拍打自己的腿，笑到不行。總而言之，我媽一直是個豪放女。

　　現在，我們自己五十多歲了，媽媽們成了八十多歲的“老媪”。

　　“你媽時光會錯亂嗎？”她問。

　　會啊，我說，譬如有一次帶她到鄉下看風景，她很興奮，一路上說個不停：“這條路走下去轉個彎就是我家的地”，或者說，“你看你看，那個山頭我常去收租，就是那里。”我就對她說，“媽，這里你沒來過啦。”她就開罵了：“亂講，我就住在這里，我家就在那山谷里，那里還有條河，叫新安江。”

　　我才明白，這一片台灣的美麗山林，仿佛浙江，使她忽然時光轉換回到了自己的童年。她的眼睛發光，孩子似的指著車窗外，“佃農在我家地上種了很多楊梅、桃子，我爸爸讓我去收租，佃農都對我很好，給我一大堆果子帶走，我還爬很高的樹呢。
”
　　“你今年幾歲，媽？”我輕聲問她。

她眼神茫然，想了好一會兒，然後很小聲地說，“我……我媽呢？我要找我媽。”　　麗茹的母親住在北京一家安養院里。“開始的時候，她老說有人打她，剃她頭發，聽得我糊塗──這個安養院很有品質，怎麼會有人打她？”麗茹的表情有點憂郁，“後來我才弄明白，原來她回到了文革時期。年輕的時候，她是工廠里的出納，被拖出去打，讓她洗廁所，把她剃成陰陽頭──總之，就是對人極盡的污辱。”

　　在你最衰弱的時候，卻回到了最暴力、最恐怖的世界──我看著沉默的麗茹，“那……你怎麼辦？”

　　麗茹說，“想了好久，後來想出一個辦法。我自己寫了個證明書，就寫‘某某人工作努力，態度良好，愛國愛黨，是本廠優良職工，已經被平反，恢複一切待遇。’然後還刻了一個好大的章，叫什麼什麼委員會，蓋在證明書上。告訴看護說，媽媽一說有人打她，就把這證書拿出來給她看。”

　　我不禁失笑，怎麼我們這些五十歲的女人都在做一樣的事啊。我媽每天都在數她錢包里的鈔票，每天都邊數邊說“我沒錢，我的錢到哪里去了。”我們跟她解釋說她的錢在銀行里，她就用那種懷疑的眼光盯著你看，然後還是時時刻刻緊抓著錢包，焦慮萬分。怎麼辦？我于是打了一個“銀行證明”：“茲證明某某女士在本行存有五百萬元整”，然後下面蓋個方方正正的章，紅色的，連蓋好幾個，看起來很衙門，很威風。我交代印傭：“她一提到錢，你就把這證明拿出來讓她看。”我把好幾副老花眼鏡也備妥，跟“銀行證明”一起放在她床頭抽屜。錢包，塞在她枕頭下。

　　按摩完了，麗茹和我的“媽媽手記”技術交換也差不多了。落地窗前突然又出現一個年輕的女郎，寬闊飄逸的絲綢褲裙，小背心露背露肩又露腰，一副水靈靈的妖嬌模樣；她的手指一直繞著自己的發絲，帶著給別人看的淺淺的笑，款款行走。

　　從哪里來，往哪里去，心中有一分明白，月光瀉地。

MEP recording

2007-08-25T09:54:00.000+08:00

was told to help some MEP ppl with their recording. Heard it's becoz the King is too busy to make it, so I am the closest substitute they can find. In econ terms, this is becoz the market for double bassist is small . The willingness and ability for consumers to purchase (sounds wrong..) bassist is perfectly price elastic (coz there is no price in the first place) and the supply of bassists is inelastic too. so when there's a increase in price (in terms of time), the demand for bassist will fall to zero, and consumers will turn to the closest substitute, ceteris paribus.

ok, i muz have been studying econ too much =.=

was helping Sarah on Friday. It's a very unusual experience coz i only got to see the score on the day and was asked to do a recording about it. i muz say,"I HATE RHYTHMS!!!!!!" the tempo is 100 crotchets per minute and the whole music is made up of syncopations. Though Sarah found another bassist so we can take turns to play to minimize the errors, it's still too difficult for me to sightread the piece and play it in the actual speed, with only 1 hour of practice =.=

Luckily the music sounds ok during the recording.. So scared I will play wrondly and spoilt the music. =S

Next wednesday is helping Junting. Saw her music already, quite OK for me =) was worried that the music may sounds weird coz i haven't touched the bass ever since i took the exam leave from YO....it seems i am still coping quite well =) bass hasn't forgot me, and i haven't forgot how to play bass too =D looking forward the next recording experience ^__^

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ! ! !

2007-08-07T01:10:00.000+08:00

It's my birthday today [woman's age is a secret..shh~~]

The first birthday that whole school is celebrating with me [actually they are celebrating National Day]

The fist birthday that none of my parent will be celebrating with me coz they are in Taiwan now

The first birthday that i doubt there's a cake.

Going to watch movie with Ah Hua this afternoon... Ah Lin is back with Kangaroos again and Ah ma has lesson till 4.30. Guess it'll really take forever for the 5 of us to gather together again =.=

I dun really care if my classmates going to celebrate it for me or not. I doubt it actually. My best friend is not even coming to sch =.= what else can you expect.

It's ok. I shan't care abt them. At least I have Me to celebrate my birthday with me.

So, let me be the first one [probably the only one] to wish myself happy birthday =)

Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Shu Fang
Happy Birthday to Me.....

You can decide the direction and the speed of the doll turning !!

I spent almost 30 minutes to figure it but my brother only took less than 5 minutes =.=

the instruction says when the doll is tuning sideway, tell you brain that the girl is lifting up the opposite leg of which she is actually lifting, then you will see her change direction!!

I can only do it if I only stare at her ankle despite my 30 minutes of trying... she won't listen to me if i look at her whole body.

My brother managed to make her turning from side to side instead of circles... amazing right ?!

Worth trying if you got nothing better to do =P

YO AGM

2007-07-31T10:57:00.000+08:00

last Saturday was my last YO rhsl... till the end of my A'lvl. it was also the day for YO annual general meeting as well as farewell of TKM. It's the special day that the King finally wears Jeans and the Queen finally become 武则天.... OK that's out of the point. anyway, it was a special day.

During the AGM, we had fun cheering whenever we saw Rayner's face appeared on the PowerPoint... Until Adriel told us that the Board was in front =.= The YO exco put all TKM's famous quote, eg "Goot... Goot", "Mao's wife is called Jiang Qing... yes Jiang Qing... it's not soya sauce" and the "GAPS" sponsor speech. It's quite cool to rmb all these funny moments before he left.

Before the reception, Mrs Wong wanted Dinah, Benjamin and I to remove the covers on the food before everyone leave Audi.

I asked Mrs Wong,"Since we are going to help, can we eat first?"
Ben,"Don't lah.. later got holes on the food, so ugly!"
Mrs Wong [after some moment of thinking],"You can eat the food if you don't leave a hole on them"

=.= does that means i had to eat one whole round of the food to make it look complete??
anyway we don't get the chance to eat it first as the VIPs reached juz aft we removed all the covers =S

Tedson set the goal of eating enough rounds to spell Benjamin's name [8 rounds]. He had some crazy obsession over drumsticks and ate over 20 of that O.o... though he only managed to complete "Benja without min", i was still horrified by his love over drumsticks.... even his burg made the air smell like drumstick =.=... yucks... and Ms Wang still encourage her to eat somemore... omg

that makes the end of the last YO rhsl for this term. King said he isn't going to play for the Nov concert but he will come and watch. Queen still owes me a lunch with interest 1.001 per second. Benjamin need to study for his exam since he's leaving DHP. Sandra didn't come for the last rhsl but she'll play for the Nov concert with Dinah and I....

This marks the pause of my music careere... as i have stopped Bass lesson, Piano lessons, Chamber and finally YO... time to start focus on prelims and As ... no excuse now. Jia you ~

Last YO concert photos

Last YO Concert

2007-07-20T13:04:00.000+08:00

last night was my last YO concert.... before the A level ends. after the 28 July rhsl, Ruolin will leave YO forever [coz she said that's the tradition], Rayner will leave forever [NS], and many more people will leave. But Dinah and I are going to stay. Coz we want to go Europe next yr :P

anyway, yesterday was a very memorable day. It's the first time Rayner had dinner with us before concert, after the 3 yr of working together. maybe he thought it's his last concert with us, so shall bear with us a little longer. so we finally had a Full Bass Section lunch [plus 3 viola section guys] together =)

after dinner, we decided to take a walk and went to Funan Center. If anyone of you walked by there last night, you will see 6 teenagers [King and Queen chose to stay in VCH]looking for their lost childhood there in front of McDonald. We were playing some interaction games there. Since we were facing the Mc, and we were so involved in the game playing, I heard many ppl in the Mc were laughing at us (///) quite embarrassing. but fun :P

During concert, we planned to have an interval program, named:"Elephant by D.Bass section". However, the idea was came too late.... it was suggested when the interval was over =.= so it was cancelled. after the concert, the bass section started playing "stand by me" and we asked Rayner to play the melody. However, to our disappointment, he dunno the song [according to him] so the extra program was cancelled too... so sad.

after this concert, we will only see each other one more time on 28 july rhsl [actually we are going back for reception as there's farewell for TKM, not for rhsl]. it also means a long break away from music for me. Hope I can still rmb how to play bass after 4 months of not practicing ....

5 more days to Dip exam. JiaYou

Chamber Farewell

2007-07-20T12:37:00.000+08:00

haven't blogged for a long time again... use all my time in sch to prepare for my Dip exam next week.... shall juz blog everything happened during these 2 weeks together :P

Well, 11 July 2007 was Chamber Farewell. To star the party off, the whole chamber was divided into 2 groups and play a game of Taboo. It was really interesting as ppl sometimes juz say the tabbo words without realising that they are saying it. And most of the time, the timekeep will forgot to look at the stop watch, so one minute was usually entended to 3 minute.

after that, Remus said they had designed some "interesting" questions for J2s so that they can get to know us better. we are suppose to pick the questions ourselves, without knowing what are the questions. my question is boring. it asks" how many times have you pon chamber? why?"... i had never ponned chamber before. the only time i didn't go is becoz my bass was sent to repair=P

the best question:" If you are in a nude beach with a chamber member of the opposite sex, who do you want it to be?" for confidential purpose, let's say A is the one who got that question. he chose B. then C was asked that question again. then He decided to B "coz she's there already" =.= then D enters the rm late. so she was asked that question again. and everyone told her that :"for your information, A, B, and C are already at the nude beach :)"...

They specially designed a question for Rayner, but he didn't got it. the questionis :"integrate 1/XlnX".... heard that it's becoz they asked Rayner that question before and he can't answer, so they decided to try it again =.=

some other funny questions are:
"If you are in a room with Rayner alone, what do you want to do ?" [Roulin got that question, and everyone wants her to kill Rayner]
"if you can knock someone on her head, who do you want to knock and why?"
"who is your attach? " [NL got that Question, and apparently, all J2s know who is he :P]
"who is your favourite chamber member from the opposite sex ?"
"if you can name an instrument, who will you name it after?"
.
.
.

After that, we had a cake cutting ceremony. and WeiLi managed to "wash" shanggi's face with the leftover cake [and Shanggi was stilling searching for the cake after that coz he wants to eat it...]. that marks the highlight of our J2 chamber farewell party. It also marks the end of our chamber times....

byebye. chamber. Chamber Loves You :)

the "weekly" update

2007-07-10T20:30:00.000+08:00

wow..haven't blogged for so long. think my love for blogging is dying. also becoz of no time and no access to computer.. =.= shall see how it goes to decide whether this blog will update weekly instead.

nothing interesting happened around me recently. Juz that i skipped YO last Thursday coz i need to try out the piano at some recital studio to prepare for my upcoming DipAB. it felt quite good to know that your friends were all rehearsing very hard yet you were on your way home already. Start to understand why Dinah love to pon rehearsals so much.. wonder how did she got her 80+% of attendance..

Leave sch at 10.40 today. felt sick since yesterday and kept running to the toilet. guess it's food poisoning coz my brother got the same problem too. yet my mum ate the same thing as us but she didn't have the syndromes. so my brother is suspecting that my mum try to poison us.. lol [he's joking... she's really my biological mother so shan't want to kill my brother and i =P] . it's great that i dun have to stay in sch for 3 hours juz waiting for the PE lesson =) think i fell in love with the thought of ponning =.=

the sch MEP rm is now renovating. so left one is available. due to the fact that many ppl are taking exams [i assume, since it's exam season], that piano rm is at high demand now =.= can't practice in sch anymore....>.< hope the renovation will be over asap!!!

screwed up the CT this time round. revised too early and can't be bothered to revised again. so by the time of CT i had already forgotten everything =.= but it seems most ppl did rather badly too. guess has to change my revision plan and hope to have some significant improve before prelim... it's my last chance before A level!! Jiayou!!!

Term 3 begins

2007-07-03T11:04:00.000+08:00

wow. according to Pei Yun, if you type "Singapore Bassist", you will find my website. it feels quite odd. maybe i shall find the post with the word "Singapore" inside and delete them =.= It may due to the fact that all other bassists dun like to post abt their bassists life [maybe except Emily]. Or maybe they use S'pore instead of Singapore =P... dun really want my website to be found on Google. let's check which post is that and delete it later.

According to Mr Tay, this term is only 6 weeks. and the last week is prelim =.= i totally screwed up my June Holiday revision plan. expecting 4 U for CTII =.= dun think i am ready to face A Level... ARHHH~~~

Juz got a new Timetable. we finally changed econ teacher. it's not that she is bad. she is juz lack of experience so everyone feels unsafe under her... last time i used to have 2 hours break on Tuesday and Wednesday. Now i have 3 hours break on Tuesday,and the lesson after that is PE, which happens to be the last lesson too... i can't believe i am going to stay in sch for 3 hrs with nothing juz for PE.... or else my lesson will end by 10.45am...now it ends at 2.30pm.... what a screwed up timetable =.=

Skipping YO this Thursday. Going to try out the piano for my Piano Dip. It's gonna to be on 25 July. 6 days after my last YO concert of the year. Ngan's exam will be at the exactly same venue as me. Juz that she will be taking it exactly 24 hours before me. it's really cool coincidence. but she said the pedal is so hard that she had to use her whole body weight to press it... well, at least i am heavier than her, so i shall have less problem to make it move... i guess

I think i have more time to blog during sch days compare to holidays. coz during holidays i am always at home, under my mum's watchful eyes. so i can't get anywhere close to the computer... luckily RJ is rich... open one whole computer lab for student to use. there are like 32 computers here... and the best thing is it juz shift from Lab 6 to Lab1, so not many ppl have found it yet :P can enjoy a quiet blogging time ;) haha

cute MSN display pictures

2007-06-22T12:20:00.000+08:00

found some really cute MSN display pictures today. upload some of them to share with you guys :P

feel this blog become kind of YO diary :P always blog abt it. last time in Space always blog abt 4C05. guess i can only specialize, can't be generalize.

anyway, i think everyone in bass section took drug last night. everyone was so high in a weird way. Rayner was doing pizzicato in such a dancing style that he reminds me of Wai Lee. Benjamin was laughing so hard until he drooled [yucks]. Sandra suddenly made some funny commend when TKM was telling the sad war story regarding Tchaikovsky Marche Slave. she even used my scores as Tag Board and wrote things like "dear shufang, i have craving for carrot cake with chili"== I AM SURE I CAN DO ANYTHING ABT IT. shall write it on Rayner's score instead. but i think i will get scolded again if i did that. my score has become a wish list without me knowing =.=

it's really tiring to be conducted by TKM. he always make you stop before the phrasing ends, so there's always a sense of incompleteness, make rhsl even more tiring =(

juz one more month to go.... JiaYou !!

can't be bothered

2007-06-17T03:56:00.000+08:00

though i am really free during this holiday, and i know i shall spend the time get ready for CT2 /prelims/A'lvl, i simply can't get myself to be hardworking =.=lll on my way to be a slacker.別人的朝九晩五是早上8點上班,下午5點下班.偶速早上8點睡覺,下午5點起床,也算朝九晩五啦...

最近常常胃痛.可能跟經常空腹喝咖啡和奶茶有關...希望不會胃穿孔或胃潰瘍 =.=

YO is playing Yellow River now. It's quite an exciting piece. a bit too exciting for Ben coz he can't stop singing the tune. Moreover his singing is kind of irritating [non-stop]. sometimes feel like stuffing the rosin into his mouth =.=

Queen [TC]is finally back for rhsl. he said he got some skin problem so he was hospitalized AGAIN. we thought he went to Malaysia Jungle to feed the mosquitoes again. anyway, he is such a 脆弱的男人. 腳不好[風濕] , 身體不好[常生病], 現在手也不行了... 果然夠嬌弱,不愧是我們的 Queen 呀!

Yuze今晚去和RISE去紐約下禮拜日才會回來. 有趣的是其他要區紐約的人依然有來參加YO練習,只有他這個懶人翹了.為了報復他,我們決定推薦他當YO下一屆Student Exco的候選人.照理說,我們必須給幾個理由來說服別人來讓他當候選人.只是我們一直找不到好理由. 後來國王給我們看了Cello section 的推薦表格.我們才發現大家寫的理由都是一堆狗屁 == 所謂輸人不輸陣,我們也填了以下的理由來推薦偶們的宇晢王子:

1) He is tall
2)he is handsome
3) he is too sexy for this post [repeat 5 times by Dinah]
4)He is future bass SL [potentially]
5) He is Rayner's Descendant [both from RI, going RJ, under Ms Yeo. heard their playing style is quite alike too]

原本我還想寫要開始與傳承由Bass SL 當任 YO chairperson 的新傳統 [coz Rayner is in YO exco now, and he's the chair] , 以及確保少數民族 [bassists] 的福利....

...果然都是一堆廢話好在他們先把表格交了.不然就丟臉了 (笑)

SYF opening ceremony. Mrs Wong wants to send the whole YO to perform on stage. too bad it can't come true coz that very week happens to be all JC's CT week, so every JC student will be busy mugging and taking exams then. for bassists, only 3/8 is playing. It's quite stupid coz they actually recorded the music already. they juz want people to "pretend" they are playing. so the players dun have to know the piece well. they juz need to know the bowing well. you can juz play D string and do Vibrato on G string with the wooden part of the bow. nobody will figure out anyway =.=lll

in the state of 監介ness...

2007-06-11T05:26:00.000+08:00

after whatever happened on Thursday. the whole section feels very weird now. I dun dare to talk to him anymore. dunno what to say as well =.= though he still helped me whenever i got lost during the rhsl, I juz dunno what to say to him. in the end we didn't talk at all .... em... never face this kind of situation before. no idea how to solve this problem. It feels like cold war now =.=

anyway, Mrs Wong said she's going to change my bass this coming Thursday!!! FINALLY!!! she told me abt the changing of new bass a few months ago but never did it. At first she dun want to give it to me anymore aft Yuze told her I will be leaving for A'lvl at July. But coz Mr Lim wants her to give the new bass to the person with the best attendance, i got it !! HAHAHA [that's the only benefit for not poning YO rhsls] even if i can only own the bass for one month it's good enough for me, at least i am the first one to use it [i am going to write my name on it =P... if i won't get caught]

as said, I will be leaving YO for A'lvl after the 15 July concert, so do Dinah and Rayner. Sandra will be leaving for O's too. Dinah and Rayner most probably won't come back since Dinah wants to go oversea to study music and Rayner will be going for NS. Thus Mrs Wong is very worried abt the future of the Bass section [the TO bassists can't play at all, according to her]. So she's begging Rayner to play for the August concert and ask me to play the Dec concert [he's not asked for the Dec concert coz his A'lvl ens on 25 Nov and mine ends on 15 Nov. The concert will be on 29 Nov]. Though I think i may play for it, I hope i can still rmb how to play bass by then =.= guess i won't be practicing it when the A's draws nearer... only 2 weeks to get ready for the concert too!! maybe i will demote myself to last desk by then xS

the other good news is that Mrs Wong promises me that she won't kick me out even aft I go to University [also becoz YO is very lack of players now... bassists, Violists, Woodwinds and Brasses]... and i can get my new bass back once i return to YO [Ben or Tedson may want to use it for rhsl/concerts during our exam break. Yuze is going to use Rayner's 13k bass..haha] can also enjoy the free bass lesson [though Ms Yeo increases the fee by $20/lesson... it's still cheaper that other bass tutors lah]

However, I still have not decided whether i am going to stay in YO or not. personally, i think the future is full of changes, and i would rather not to think abt it now. I dunno if i am going to stay in Singapore for Uni or going oversea. I dunno what major i am going to take in Uni, or which Uni i am aiming for. the only thing i know is, 船到橋頭自然直, i juz do my best for now and A's. the rest, i will leave the God to decide and take care of it.

Amen.

As a Section..

2007-06-09T00:05:00.000+08:00

something horrible happened yesterday.

Dinah was drawing King's pic on Ben's new score, and wrote : Rayner is watching you

Sandra saw it and thought it's funny. So she took Rayner's score and asked Dinah to draw all of us on his score, and wrote : We are watching you.

After seeing the score, Rayner took my score as revenge.

However, during the rhsl, he played some parts wrongly. i looked at him and was quite amused that he actually came in at the wrong place.

Then he was very angry with me, said I am the first girl he wanted to point middle finger to, and i distracted him with the score, that's why he came in wrongly, and i still dare to laugh....

I was really angry with him then. I almost wanted to shout back at him but can't coz rhsl is still going on. So i told him that he had no right to scold me. First, it's not my idea to draw on his score, it's not me who draw on his score, and it's not me who took his score to draw. Secondly, it's not my fault that he played wrongly. I even did my job to look at him and hint him that he play wrongly. So I really dunno why is he angry with me for.

The argument eventually paused coz the bass had another entry. I was so angry that for the rest of the rhsl, i turned my back against him and refused to look at him again.

I guess our fight scared everyone in the section. All of them juz looked at us fighting, dun dare to ask anything abt it.

It's aft my angry level had fallen and i made a funny face to Dinah, then Sandra dared to ask me why was he scolding me for. She told me to heck care abt it. coz i played no part in that incident.

aft the whole rhsl, he finally apologized to me. then he said he felt that aft 3 yrs of playing together, he dun understand why are we always ostracizing him. Everytime he came near us, we will all look at him at stop whatever gossip sessions we have. And we always make fun of him such as this score incident.

I was quite shocked he say that to me. and he looked like he is going to cry soon. to me, we are already starting to accept him as part of our group. though it is not so obvious and quite slow, but at least we are all trying. We even invited him to go out with us or play bridge with us. It's him who can't make it at the last min without informing us. It's him who always insult us. then now suddenly he wants to join us.

Personally i thought the score incident is juz mean for a joke. and i think he is over-reacting... Dinah drew on Ben's score too and she always vandalize my scores too. Sandra juz thought it's funny to let him take part in it. And he's not the only one we bully. We also give horrible names to Ben, Tedson, make fun of Dinah, Sandra Yuze and I. And he's not the only guy we ostracise. We ostracize queen too.

At the end of the talk, I asked Sandra to explain the whole incident, and the whole section surrounded we, explained our motive and shared what they thought. It's the first time we are dealing problem as a section, including the king.

well, it's time to think how can we show our friendliness towards the king and make him feel we are including him now =.=

Hwa Chong String Ensemble concert

2007-05-31T00:24:00.000+08:00

went to HC String Ensemble concert last night [ coz Baopeng's playing ;) , muz support friends !] Personally i think it's quite a good concert. The programme was rather good. I love the Osvaldo Golijov's "Last Round". It's such an exciting pieces, full of interation among players as it's performed by 2 string ensemble playing against each other. Ngan and I were wondering why RJCE never got to play such interesting pieces during concert =.=^ [conclusion: we have a boring ViceChair who choose boring pieces. Ngan want to say "heavy" pieces, but it doesn't match with the ViceChair :P]

Their sound is really clear and nice. the only negative point is that their balance is weird. the cellos and basses are so heavy that i can hardly hear the melody sometimes. the second half of the concert was rather heavy too... can't stand pieces that last more than 15 minutes within one movement...

At first i though only Ngan, Sunny, RL and Ngon were coming for the concert. but saw Rayner outside VCH. then realised Joy, Gareth, Shaggy, Shawn, Ivan and Zhaohan [who didn't turn up in the end] ]were coming too. So we took one whole row for the 11 of us ... haha

Funny observation during the concert by me : the RJCE sent exactly 2 ppl from each section to the concert.

Funny observation during the concert by Ngan : The RJCE sent eaxtly one male and one female from each section to the concert.

btw... THOSE WHO ARE SICK SHALL BE BARRED/BANNED FROM ATTENDING ANY CONCERT !!! During the whole DHSSE and HCSE concert, we kept hearing ppl coughing thoughout the concert. It's really irritating and disturbing to both performers and other audiences ... 降低我們欣賞好音樂的好心情 :( 那些人應該都抓去槍斃!! >.<

break... YO... Break

2007-05-27T12:11:00.000+08:00

this is the latest pattern of YO rehearsal, ever after the May concert. We have one practice , then one week break, SYF rhsl and recording, another one week break, a sectional yesterday, and next week we dun have to go for rhsl again. I dun really mind this pattern. But i see no point of practicing as by the next rhsl, i probably forget everything already.

yesterday's sectional is a weird one. I was the only girl in my section =.= Dinah went to Naval Base to see the Hot Naval Boys. [all of us were laughing like mad when we saw her reason for not coming ] Sandra had O'level on Monday [GOOD LUCK SANDRA !!! ] so she had a class to attend. felt quite odd one out. If they told me they are not going in advance, i will skip the rhsl and stay at home ==^ make the whole section purely male.

em... almost forgot at least there is a Queen TianChen with us. So i am not the single out =P

thought abt wearing skirt to YO to scare all of them, coz my brother said i look ok in skirt =P but suddenly rmb that it's quite difficult to play bass with it =.= so give up the idea. [Ben was accusing me for being a liar, coz i told him that idea before...lol 沒聽過唯女子和小人難養也嗎]

We wrote the Postcard for the king. But since Dinah and Sandra are absent, guess can only give him the card 2 weeks later. the guys are not man at all... ask me to be the first one to write x__x... and write stupid msgs on it [well, it's planned to be "mean" msgs, not "stupid" msgs]. anyway, it's juz a card for fun. there is no special occation or event as a reason for us to give the it out...haha. juz wanna make fun of the king.

everyone always said i bully him, though i really dun think so. but maybe i shall try to treat him nicer =.=
the key word is "TRY"
it's not my fault if it fails. =P

DHSSE concert 2007

2007-05-27T11:48:00.000+08:00

went for DHSSE concert on Friday. it's the first time i was sitting down and watching the performance [before that was always there as a performer]. feel really different :P

before the concert started, Sunny and I wanted to go circles to find our seniors and sit with them. But the gatekeeper kept us out, insisted that the circles is only reserve for teachers and VIP. We thought it's quite ridiculous coz our seniors were already inside but why can't we. after a few minutes of argument, we finally realised the password to enter is "alumni" =.= and the circles was so empty that i saw no reason for restricting us out =.=^

the concert was great!! personally i think the senior high chamber was rather out of tune at the high notes, but overall id ok. i love the cello duet concerto by Aaron and Jefferson. they made a good pair together :P My brother led the cello section accompaniment for Mendelssohn, he's not bad, but the piece was a bit too long that made it sound dry.Schindler's List encore was great !! i expected it to be Shimei's solo, but the whole SE blended in really well !!

We kept shouting encores at the end of the concert, expecting Ms Ku to play her famous Lullaby to comfort the seniors' desperation. but she didn't. it's after the concert, at the backstage, then she told us that she thought we were asking the SE to play another Encore pieces, and she wanted to tell us then that there's no more Encore, coz they forgot to practice 月亮代表我的心 xP

Coz it's the first time i went for my brother's concert, as an audience instead of performer, I specially wore a skirt for it [God knows, i had not wore any skirt for more than 10 yrs, except for concerts and school and the one for SYF opening ceremony 3 yrs ago]. My brother said i look ok in it ^___^ maybe i will wear it again for the Hwa Chong chamber concert the coming tuesday :)

story session

2007-05-25T17:12:00.000+08:00

wednesday had GP CT...=.=lll essay is OK but i think my compre is very badly done.. i haven't done well in compre for a long~~ time, both Chinese and English =.=lll.

anyway, that's not the point. after the CT, my friends and i waited for 4 hours in school for the weekly bi-cultural talk. this was one of the very rare times that the speaker is good. and every of us enjoyed the talk very much ^_^ we juz love to watch movies [though she spent half of the time trying to start the movie at some exact places she want, while all of us know it's impossible on Window Media Player =.=lll ]

after the talk, Yan Heng, Liyue, Meifen and I walked out the school together. on the way we met 小胖. and he managed to upset Liyue by saying [indirectly] that her jacket is more attractive than her [ FYI: we always call Liyue 美女, coz she is in street dance and has very good figure. moreover, her dream is to become a 名妓...lol]

after left Liyue at bus stop, the 3 of us continued our journey to the Bishan MRT station [not west]. we started gossiping abt Meifen [and the 5 guys around her... this is going to be the next most popular book in the globe]. and we came across Preston [ treasurer for YanHeng's class, My DHS schoolmate and Meifen's CCA vice chair.] by then, YH has no idea how did Meifen know Preston, so he cocked up this story:

[assumption: Meifen and Preston both live in Bedok and always take bus 93 to school]

一天,美芬搭上93公車要去上學時,突然發現了他忘了帶學生証.因此,他在投幣箱裡投了5毛錢.然而,司機對美芬說:"小妹妹, 車票是5毛半,你還少了5分"

正當美芬急得像熱鍋上的螞蟻時,Preston上車了. 他...

at that time there is 2 version.... one is mine and one is YH's.

My version:

Preston 瀟灑地在投幣箱裡投了5毛,告訴司機,"不用找了,我幫他付"
美芬用感激的眼神看著Preston,正當兩人含情脈脈,一見鍾情之際,
司機:"小弟,兩個人的車票是1塊1,你還少了1毛...."

YH 版
Preston 從口袋裡拿出了5分,那是他身上僅有的五分錢,是他午餐錢.他掙扎了一會兒,終於決定幫美芬付車票錢.美芬深受感動,決定以身相許.
兩人因五分相遇,相識,相愛, 在交談中得知兩人其實住同一棟樓,從此就你來我家,我去你家地交流, 有情人終成眷屬

當事人美芬:

hating school

2007-05-24T17:52:00.000+08:00

for some unknown reason, i start to hate school. start hating studies. I used to think sch is a fun place, where you can meet you good friends and learn together. but even since i come into this place, i feel i keep hanging around with people i unfamiliar with, with classmates that i hate, takiung the subjects that i dun want to take, doing things that i dun want to do. everything i do seems to be another mistake i make. everyone wants something from me and expect something from me, yet i can't fulfill all their wants.

i am tired.

i am really stressed abt school works. all teachers say i have the potential to achieve higher than what i am doing now, but i feel i have reached my limits already. no matter how hard i try, my GP still stays at S and my Geography remains at D. I try to save this 2 subjects, in the end, the grades of all my other subjects start dropping, yet the weaker ones are not improving either. I really dunno what to do. but getting more stress and tire day by day.

i missed the days in DHS, where i really enjoy learning and schooling. the environment is so warm and friendly, while everyone here is so cold and selfish, they never think of others, only care for their own goods. they never do their homework, but expect the teachers to spoon feed them. they never listen in class, yet want me to learn them the lecture notes to copy. they keep asking stupid questions and make noises in class, disturb ppl who are keen of learning...

guess my frequency will never match with the ppl here... =.=

school sucks. so is life.

how to change PE into Music lesson

2007-05-22T11:02:00.000+08:00

Last Thursdays we had PE again (as usual). Both Sharon Ling and I hate PE (but she said i am always very on for it.... dunno. I really hate sweating). So we were on our usual stroll around the court while the rest of the class were playing Handball.

Then we suddenly came to the idea of changing PE into Music lesson, so we start to link all the music terms with our class:

Since both of us are slacker, Sharon Ling is the Trill and I will be the Appoggiatura [both are there to make the melody looks nice but not yet accompaniment.]

Manpreet is the Melody [coz she is the scorer of the game... almost every goal is score by her]

Yanyi is the Chord I [coz she is an "on" player...]
however, she was injured during the game, so she became Chord I in G [injury]

Avonne is the Chord V [coz she is slightly less on than Yanyi]
however, after she became the Goalkeeper, she always let the opposite team score, so she was quite depressed. Thus become Diminished Chord V

Cat never come for PE [she has Permanent MC]. So we named her Dominant [will always be there =P ]

Haha... PE lesson can be quite interesting too =P

weird interview question

2007-05-16T10:06:00.000+08:00

Monday Avonne said she was going to give interview for the next bacth of Chorale exco members, and she asked me for ideas on weird questions. [there's a saying in RJ that interview is the only time you can bully your juniors.]

so we brainstormed for 5 mintues and came out with these questions:

1. Ask the girls to imitate the sound of tuba and guys to imitate piccolo

2. Ask the to choose a note from a scale and explain why you choose it

3. Use your body to show the shape of quaver or crotchet rest

4. Sing a piece in 4 languages [it's chorale interview anyway]

5. Sing a piece, and transport the piece to C minor and sing it again

6. Sing a 4 part melody [it's actually impossible.. unless you have 4 mouths]

heard that Chamber dun have the tradition to ask weird interview questions... maybe they can give it a try next year... haha

tag me if you have any other weird interview questions.... haha. let's make a list to "how to bully you juniors during interview" =P

interesting discoveries abt Canada International School

2007-05-16T09:23:00.000+08:00

went out dinner with my mum last night. It's with my aunt's colleague's daughter. she is studying in Canada International School[CIS] in Singapore. fom her, i know about some interesting facts about the differences between [CIS] and government school [RJ]

1. their whole school population is only 200 [ for RJ, just my batch itslef has 1200 students... 12 times of their school]

2. they only do 3 subjects every half an year [ we did alomost every subject everyday]

3. you need to finish English Course in CIS before you can take PE course [it's to prevent you from not understanding the teacher's instructions... i am sure]

4. their lunch costs average $6-7 per meal. [ ours is around $4.. one Japanese set meal with fruit juice somemore]

5. whenever CIS holds a school event, it will rain [hasn't failed for 5 years]

i wonder how does students from CIS going to compete with local students... if they only learn 3 subjects per half year, by the next half of the year they will have forgotten what had they learnt before =.=lll

i also confirmed that RJ is weid... we seemed to be the only shool to have ATM and 7-11 within school.... maybe we shall expect MacDonald to replace Subway soon =P

ORA

2007-05-16T09:06:00.000+08:00

went for ORA last sat.. it is not that i volunteer myself to walk/jog around RGS.. but the class drew lots and i was one of the lucky three that needed to attend the event [actually i suspected the class cheated coz all chosen ones happened to be in class during the "lucky draw"... =.=lll] i dun even know where is RGS the day before the event!!

at first planned to leave after i got the ORA shirt [the only gd thing abt going for it is you will get the free shirt]. but according to my junior, the teachers will mark attendance again even we come back to RGS [turned out to be not true.. regretted]. so i went on walking with my friends.

it's quite funny to see how different groups of ppl reacted to ORA jogging. The sec1 and 2 RGS girls started the event, and all of them ran really fast, then apparently there was a time lag when sec 3 and 4 RGS girls started, as the first half was running and 2nd half was walking. During RI guys turn, the first few had already started running while the last few was still strolling their way from assembly ground to the tracks. RJ was the best. everyone walked throughout the whole route. so consistent. i felt i was in the competition of "Who walks the slowest" =P

during the whole walk, i was teasing my friend about the guys around her. so the journey wasn't too boring [we actually found it too short for us to have more gossiping =P]. Happened that all the guys around her have some sort of relationships with me too [eg. SL, primary school classmate, secondary school mates...], so we had a lot of fun criticizing the guys... haha

luckily this is the first and the last yr i am going to go for this thing. but it is quite fun... haha. know a lot more about new gossips =P though dun really find it doing any good to my body =.=
hope won't get so unlucky to get myself involve in any of this kind of sch event anymore!!!

WildRice CIP... greatest CIP experience ever =)

2007-05-08T11:46:00.000+08:00

Went CIP with Joy 2weeks ago. it's selling program booklets for Singapore's local theater company "WildRice" it's a really fun experience. i got to know more people who are interested in drama, know abt the works of actors, get to interview one of the actress [coz she is selling programme booklets with us] and eventually , we got to watch the play!! It's one of the best CIP deal i ever did [besides flag day, playing in hospice or working in library]

Met some funny people during the CIP. some of them are really nice as they stayed back to help us keep the things even though it's not their duty date then. Some of them are seniors from RJC and they share a lot of experiences abt RJ and Uni life to us. Joy's friend even lend me her PSP to pass my time while we were waiting =P managed to broke all her records in the car racing .. hehehe. also met the old DHS ppl like Charlotte and Kenneth who i actuallt dunno well before this CIP.

the funny part abt the CIP is that i got to know a actress very well. she shared her life as an actress with us, and told us the past and present market for theater productions and actors. She even told me where can i get nice and cheap comics!! [coz both of us are comic lovers... haha]

the most unforgettable event is on the 2nd day of CIP, we were invited to have dinner with all the actors and actresses in the play!! it's so cool coz you can see the ppl tt you usually see on stage or TV only, and you got to know the other side of them =) though it's not at some great restaurant, it's juz at the backstage, with some take away foods got from outside, it's still a great experience =)

i also made friend with one of the ushers there. She said she had ushed for many plays, including the "Phantom of Opera" this year!! becoz of that, she managed to watch it 5 time [coz she was asking ppl not to take photos during the opera or delete their photos] It's really cool to be paid [as an usher ] and watch one of the greatest operas in the world 5 times !! I want to be an usher in future too [ok.. i am really lack of ambition, i shall say something like "i wanna save enough money to watch Phantom of Opera 5 times in VIP seat" instead of that.. but still... =P]

conclusion from the CIP: if you want to sell tickets or programme booklets to others, it's better to target at adults rather than teenagers coz adults are more willing and generous in buying this kind of things, as well as CDs =D

衰斃了

2007-04-30T16:23:00.000+08:00

今年四月一定是我的惡魔月[生日除外..每年的生日也是我的大衰日. .有時還要以週計算]...發生了一堆零零種種的衰事

光這個月我就3次差點上學遲到而搭計程車去學校...每次都是在最後一分鐘趕上升旗.[在RJ1年又4個月第一次發生這種事...]

NAFA考2.4公里那周剛好生病...補考時又下雨不能跑...再補考的那天我整天有課不能去...
後來和體育老師約好一起喬2.4考試時間竟然還被她放鴿子 [有夠給它XXX的]

今天又因忘了做地理老師的功課而被罵了一頓..差點被記小過..不過要在星期三之前補交上三篇功課..這是我第一次忘了做地理作業的說...超衰的

華文課每次上詩詞時都忘記帶課本..好在有帶筆記,不然又要被罰了. 還有一個禮拜我竟然把武俠小說的課和詩詞的課記反了,所以帶錯課本.而且還是踏進教室前5分鐘才發現的...夠監介

這個月諸事不順..還特別健忘,丟三忘四的..SYF那天除了弓和表演服裝外,其他的東西不是忘在學校就是沒從SL身上拿回來...靜音器,stopper,譜....=.=

好在今天是四月的最後一天了 [萬歲~~~]

期待明天[五月起]會更好

阿們

away from bass

2007-04-25T09:49:00.000+08:00

Met one of my best friend during primary sch days yesterday. Haven't seen her for almost 5 yrs. Though time fly, but i am glad that 2 of us don't change much. we can still recognize each other, talk to each other as the way we did during the primary sch days. =) heard one of our classmate had changed from a good boy to some gangster.. feel sad for him. He used to be really funny and sweet boy in our class. maybe under-perform during O'level really hurt him a lot. [but heard he remain as a flirt as before]

Cancelled my bass lesson today. didn't practice bass ever after SYF and the lat YO rhsl. Also dun feel like touch bass for at least one week. Suddenly rmb what my teacher told me during our last lesson:"i hope i dun have to teach any of you for at least 2 weeks!! I need a break!!". That's exactly how i feel now. I amgiving a break for myself, away from all the rhsls and practices and lessons.!! i shall live one week without bass :P

despite that, i realised music has taken a major part of my life. it has become so important that i can't even imagine a day without music. Yesterday aft maths makeup lecture, i heard some people playing violin and piano. suddenly, i felt a urge to go up and see who's playing. maybe i dun really like to practice, but i really enjoy music.

Something was wrong with me and i played really badly for last YO rhsl before it's exam breaks.. During Brahms Symphony NO.1 in C minor 4th movement, i misunderstood the conductor and played too fast. Then the whole section followed me... until they realised it's wrong. after the rhsl, the king on my left and dinah on my right scolded me for misleading and confused the whole section AT THE SAME TIME. all i can do is to hug my bass and cover my ears [coz their voices are really loud] and endure the whole 1 minute of non-stop scolding. it's quite embarrassing [and scary] though, but i think it'll look quite comical if they took a photo of that.. haha

juz realised our YO section always take turns to come for rhsl.. when Dinah appear, TianCheng got something on; Sandra comes, then Benjamin had exams; Yuze finally can make it after SYF, then Tedson is sick. i guess till the day i retire from yo, we will never have a full section .. =.=lll

DHSSE is having a BBQ at Ms Ku's place this Friday. My class is having a BBQ at a classmate's house this Saturday. My friend is holding a free concert this Friday too. BUT I CAN'T GO FOR ANY OF THEM coz i am going CIP with Joy!!!! quite sad, but i am really looking forward for the CIP. according to her, it's going to be like some backstage work for a play. it sounds interesting =) moreover, we can get free tickets to watch the play aft our CIP !! i used to tell my dad that i want to try all the careers in the world when i grow up. I AM ON MY WAY THERE NOW !!! lol =P

em.. i wonder

for some reason [which i have no idea why and what] , more and more people came and tell me that they found my blog. and apparently, they come here quite often. juz that they are too lazy to tag here [ i think]. Ivan was threatening me that he is going to put in his blog that "Rayner, if you are reading my blog, go to Shu Fang's blog !!"... guess i am really telling the whole world too much things that i shan't tell =.=lll

always take this blog as a place for me to 宣洩. to show my true feelings to some of my close friends. but things juz get rolling like a snowball. people i never expect to visit come. i wonder how they know my blog in the first place =.=lll guess i really type very "interesting" stuff here that everyone juz tell others to come and read :P

i muz say these people are really good coz this blog only set up in late February 2007 :P thank you for your support.... haha

anyway, for your information , this is the photo of Kevin's broken bow. he juz bought it at most 2 months ago and it broke by such a weird manner that none of us have seen it before :P

never seen a bow break by tip... interesting

SYF

2007-04-20T20:31:00.000+08:00

~~~~ CONGRATS ~~~~

RAFFLES JUNIOR COLLEGE CHAMBER ENSEMBLE GOLD WITH HONOURS

DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL STRING ENSEMBLE GOLD WITH HONOURS

YEAH~~~ I am really happy now. so many things happened before and during SYF tt i really thought we are going to get silver [especially when Shawn kept saying we will only get COP at the chair behind me =.=lll... touch wood!!]...

1. Kevin broke his bow 2 days before SYF
2. I can only get another bow on the SYF day itself, so he has not time to get use to it
3. the bus which supposed to fetch us to SCH came late
4. we don't have a tuner before we entered the tuning room
5. the basses are separated from the chamber before entering the stage, and we are super unprepared!!! thought going up stage with ONLY 3 of us !!
6. there is no helpers to help us do the seating arrangement or put the stoppers for basses!!
7. the basses freak out and entered wrongly for the first bar of Elegy [yucks!!!!]

everything went badly for today... luckily the result turned out well. It's the first time i feel so unsecure before and after playing for SYF. I almost cried right aft our performance. but Rachael and Zhangyi said we sounded ok... Ngan said maybe becoz we never tried SCH before not we are not used to the sound. Nevertheless, SCH did make us sounds better in a way that the intonation sounds better to me... not as out of tune as usual=P maybe it did help a bit.

anyway it's all over. so glad Dunman High also achieved GWH. finally can 揚眉吐氣 in front of the band people. lol

saw a lot of seniors and friends today. lots of ppl from YO, seniors like Lejia, Enqi, Toon Li, Wendy, Malisa, Alphon... Saw Dinah with her cello [haha], Liying with her hot SYF attire, Eliz and Baopeng =) also saw other friends like Rachael and Zhangyi.. SYF always give me a feeling of musical friends gathering party coz you can always find your long-time-no-see musical friends :P

P.S . apparently many ppl were scared by the photos put in "My Conscience" entry... dun mean to do it..promise won't put that kind of photo anymore =.= sorry for scaring all of you Orz

RL !!!! you owe me a Neoprint taking session now !!! let's all go and take next Saturday after Chamber election !!! haha

How can performers interact with audiences?

2007-04-19T10:59:00.000+08:00

Observation from yesterday's chamber rehearsal:

- The performer can break his bow [ouch!!] and drag a chair to sit and rest

- The SL can lend his bow to the loser, who broke his bow,and take a rest

- The performer are also free to go down the stage to slack, as well as chat with other audiences

- The performer can play chopstick with audience [wow]

- The audience can conduct [or give instructions to] the performers behind the conductor's back

- The audience can threaten the performers before they start playing

Interesting duh? I never know performers can do so many things with audiences

*********************

Extremely stressed over SYF now. feel so unprepare compare to 2 yr or 4 yr ago. It seems like we have not done anything and we are facing the competition already =.=lll

Feel really threaten by Ms Ku when she said:"You are the 21th batch of RJ students going for the 11th SYF with 9 Gold and 1 Gold with Honours in front of you"... It will be very 丟臉 if RJ 的一世英名毁在我們的手上...無顏見江東父老...

*********************

This yr's SYF is really weird... all the Gold or Gold with Honours winners are from some schools that had never been heard before... though DHSCO still get with GWH as usual, heard their are angry tt the other winner used the same bowing and phrasing as them [coz their doing some random bowing tt are not very common but the sch is doing EXACTLY the same random things as them]!!

Band's standard is extrmely high this yr. DHS band only get silver this yr [i can imagine Mrs Wong's face turning green...haha.... ok i am bad]. Sandra said she is crying when she heard TS band only got Silver coz they really practiced very hard for it...

wondering what is the standard for chambers... i really had no confident abt it this time xS

God bless us

1 more day to SYF!!!! Jiayou everyone !!!

My Conscience

2007-04-18T09:04:00.000+08:00

these are the evidences that i practice :P

juz put for fun.. i was not affected by whatever he said anymore, coz i have so many friends that support me and have faith in me ^_^ i have done my parts. and i know i have. who cares whether he think i do it or not :P

Mum is finally back from Taiwan (thank God!!).. No More Housechores For Me (sick from doing all of them while my brother juz sat there and play compurter for the whole day..) ~~ until 24 May. She is going back again then coz my cousin is getting engaged !! wish i can go back with her.. miss all my relatives in Taiwan. =.=lll

today is the first day in the week that i am taking my usual transport: BUS, to school.. had missed the bus by 1 minute last 2 days , ended up taking cabs to school. I must praise the taxi uncles for being so pro that they always managed to send me to school within 15 minutes so i am always juz on time for flag raising, despite the serious traffic jam on PIE and the fact that i was really late .. pro !!

going NUS for some chinese talk this saturday.. it's by some Taiwanese and China writers. so i am now reading someof their books to get me prepare for the talk. the problem is : how can i get to NUS performing art center???? anyone knows how to get there???

I am never alone...

2007-04-15T00:30:00.000+08:00

I had a bad day.

correction,

I AM HAVING a bad week.

what can be worse than getting C for PW juz becoz your teacher sucks as it's her first and only time teaching that subject and she had left the school?

how abt your SL told you,"if you can't come in in tune, why don't you juz play softly and juz let me cover you? " after you have been practicing 1.5 hours almost everyday,tuned note by note and all your fingerings have blisters?

life simply sucks.

although the thing between Rayner and I had been solved and it turned out to be he is hinting Kevin, not pointing at me, still feel quite pissed abt telling that kind of thing in front of me....

almost throw the bass at him and tell him that:"老娘不幹了" and walk out the room.

too bad i dun dare.

I juz went to look for Ngon Lung, Karmun and Mitch... simply broke down in front of them. felt really insulted by what he said. they were so shocked to see me crying. kept comforting me and hugged me, helped me scold the bastard. I was really touch by whatever they did. Especially when they said,"don't worry, you are never alone in the school. we will always be there with you."
feel great to have friends like them =)

*********

Ngan and i were feeling random and we decided to take Neoprints together.

apparently there is no one in the NeoPrint shop.. so we went around J8 to look for ppl with 10 $1 coins... troublesome but fun =P

here are the products:

always have a lot of fun with Ngan =)maybe it's becoz 2 of us are equally mad.

*********

told Sandra and Ben abt Rayner's Birthday Msg as well his bastard speech today. They both felt angry for me too. Sandra was complaining tt he's so ugly looking , why are there still so many girls like him (Ben & I actually think she is jealous.. juz joking).. actually i wondered too... maybe the girls are juz blind.. they shall go and check out their eyes one day.

suddenly realised, i got a lot of supportive friends around me. they have faith in me, they share my joy and sorrow with me. they bright my day. they rock !!

thank you for always been there !! love you guys always <3~~

*********

Bought a bass stopper today.

always thought bass stoppers are difficult to use coz difficult to aim at the small hole. some made of sponges, and we always ended up creating holes on the stopper and destroying it. but this stopper is made of hard plastic and it's easy to aim.. and it won't slide away too =)

very good !!

the only bad thing is, it's quite expensive.. (see above). luckily claiming from school. thinking abt stealing one home aft SYF.. anyway they dun need so many stoppers as they only have 2 bass (Rayner is getting one too)... i guess

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GOOD NEWS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mrs Wong IS BUYING A NEW BASS FOR ME !!!She was going around and asking who take the $8000 bass.. it turned out to be Dinah who ponned becoz of band.. then she came to me and ask for my bass number and it's condition.

I told her it's ok but not very good. then i ask,"Mrs Wong, you are buying me a new bass arh?"

AND SHE REPLIED YES !!!! OMG ~~~~ i never thought this will happen to me !!!! YUPPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

too bad i can only own it for one term. leaving for A'level break soon..

I am going to sign "SHU FANG IS THE FIRST ONE TO USE THIS BASS" on it

TC suggested our whole section shall write " BASS ROCKS " on my new bass and "RAYNER SUCKS" on Rayner's bass on our last day in yo.. haha

urrrrahhhh

2007-04-09T16:13:00.000+08:00

this is the period of time that i feel like chopping off my nose : i simply can't breath due the the block/running nose =.=lll everytime i think i am getting better, the next moment it starts again... so frustrating.

the only good (?) thing abt this flu is : i finally confirm that my dad and i are blood-related!!!(duh? actually i never doubt that before :P) my mum told me that the very day when i was suddenly sick, my dad fell sick too. both of us are suddenly sick on the same day, though one in Taiwan and the other one in Singapore, but it is so 巧... haha.

school is quite productive today. we actually managed to finsih go through the CT comprehension during GP and we did till Question d for Econ CT Case study during Econ. wonder what is Civics for if the teachers are just going to come into the classroom, mark attendence, and leave.-.-lll

saw the funny birthday msg that my Sharon Ling 's friend posted to Rayner. It says :"Rayner Teo, Will You Have My Babies".. it sounds funny coz i thought rayner is male and it's quite impossible for him to give birth to babies... but according to Sharon Ling, there is other meaning behind it :P shan't share it here in case the king saw it and kill me. I will bring my Camera to school tml and took a photo of it :)

Leave Me Alone

2007-04-07T12:29:00.000+08:00

I am sick. Again.

feel like i always get sick every half a month. and everytime it will last for 2 weeks. so i am sick whole year round =.=ll

I was sick SUDDENLY this time. Was ok in the morning (still went to run 2.4 with the class). But in the afternoon, suddenly have running nose, sore throat, coughing and headache. It sounds weird but it's true.... even my chinese teacher asked me was i ok >.<

Sigh...

Can't go back DHSSE today so that i won't pass the flu to them.. luckily i am not teaching anymore, or else i have to cancel the lessons and give make up again, and it's really troublesome to find the common timing among the 6 students... can't go for Bass Lesson too, Ms Yeo will kill me if i pass the flu to all her 3 kids.. it's be chaos to her.

thank God there is a 3 day weekend this week (Easter).. can stay at home and sleep more to recover... hope it'll be better by next week.. or else i have to get MC and need to do NAFA on another day... so troublesome

time to drink more water and sleep Zzzz (feel like i have drank more water in a day now than the total amount i had drank in a week last time)

double "ankle" formula

2007-04-04T20:49:00.000+08:00

OMG... i actually dun plan to blog tonight. But something happened during chamber today, and it's so funny that i think there is a need to share... haha

during chamber today, Rayner fell down from staircase while carrying the chairs. i wasn't there to witness it (or else i will video it down) coz i went back chamber room to get my stands+bow+scores, by the time i got back to LT2, i juz saw a group of ex-RI guys surround him, offering him ices, towels, help him sit on the chair blah blah blah... ( it really make him looks like king... all the RI slaves)

though he sprained his ankle, Rayner insisted on playing so he "hopped" up the stage (it simply looks funny). He wasn't not wearing shoe on his injured left leg and he showed it to us (i wanna took a photo to show everyone and mass send it to everyone who knows Rayner but he rejected). wow it looked like he got 2 ankles. to remember this event, we the RJC chamber bass section decided to name it "the double ankle (angle) formula"...lol

this suddenly remind me of a joke Ms Yeo told me during the bass lesson yesterday. we were talking abt how the quality of bassists drop as years go by then. she said there is one NYGS sec one bassist (her student), when she was holding the bass one day, she saw her schoolbag felling down from the chair. so she LET GO OF THE BASS TO SAVE HER BAG !!! I was so shock when i heard this story. how can someone sacrifice a at least $1.8K bass for some at most $300 school bag !!! the incident that Rayner sprained down from stairs while carrying the chair is kind of alike to the NYGS bassist who forgo her bass for her bag :P

the only good thing is, Rayner actually become a nicer person to go with after he sprained his ankle (weirdly but it's true). He was joking around with Kevin and I during the chamber pract. normally if i suan him abt his out-of-tone attempt to play the cello solo part for Verdi, he will ask me to shut up (in chinese... wow )and dao me. but when i did it today, he actually stop playing and didn't look piss !!! (maybe he finally realised how out-of-tune he is)

After that, i was teasing him that the only chinese words he know is shut up (閉嘴), it goes:
Rayner:"no, i know more than that, i know Yang Shu Fang (楊淑芳)too "
Me:" (dun expect such answer at first)... sad for you, you dun even know your own name."
Rayner:"i know ok, it's Zhang Yun Wei (張雲偉...i guess)"
Me:"wow, you actually know 8 chinese words. not bad."
Rayner:"(looks suspicious) are you making me saying it (his chinese name) just now?"
Me:"what shall i ? i know it wah, it's in YO concert programme"
Rayner:"......"

Yeah. One win for me :P (actually i dun expect him to chat with me like this at first. this shows how good his mood is today)

conclusion for the day: Rayner is only nice to go with when he's injured.

-THE END-

STOP ASKING ME ABT HIM !!!

2007-04-04T08:58:00.000+08:00

i really dun understand why... ppl around me always ask me abt Rayner. it seems that the whole world thinks that i am very close to Rayner and i ought to know everything abt it. IT IS NOT TRUE OK ?!?!

Yes i must admit that we have a lot of thing in common:
1) we are both bassists
2) we are both in Chamber & YO...same section somemore (duh?)
3) we have the same bass teacher (Ms Karen Yeo)
4) we are both studying in RJC and are in Arts stream
5) we take the similar subject combi (H2 geo, econ, math, Lit - Rayner take E lit but i take C lit)
6) our class are juz beside each other during assembly (duh? there is only 2 geog class in Arts stream..)

So what ? all these things do not explain why i muz be close to him wah.....

Some of my friends are teasing me that 2 of us are fated to be together, coz we have so many things is common. Personally, i dun think it shall be described as FATED, i will rather it to be described as SUAY. i am so suay to be common with him in so many things, and suay enough to have him as my SL for both my CCAs. And the suayest thing is, i have to see him almost everyday....=.=lll (thank God there's still a Sunday. I think i will rather die if i have to see him on Sunday too....)

that's it. i had enough already. can you all stop asking me abt him??? THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN 2 OF US!!! NOTHING!! i dun know everything and anything abt Rayner and you will be very disappointed if you ask me comments abt him coz
1) I only have tons of negative comment abt him, and i believe the Rayner in my eyes is a totally different person from the Rayner in your eyes.
2) i only know abt the things abt him coz ppl around me always thought i am very close to him and keep telling me things abt him. it's not becoz i am very close to me and he tell me everything !!

My bass teacher asked me abt Rayner's results after promo coz she dun want to ask him personaly.

My form teacher is now asking me that,"you are in same CCA as Rayner arh? can you tell me more abt it? i want to know more abt my student..."

And some people juz keep ask me does Rayner have girlfriend... HOW DO I KNOW??? i am not Rayner nor his girlfriend (the poor victim) right? you all shall go and ask him yourself!! not ask me!!

p.s. stop putting 2 of us together too... we kind of hate each other. he always pick on me for the things i do/play.. and i always dao him... maybe he is juz jealous that i am more popular than him in the YO bass section :P (somemore my yo friends foresee him as a wife-beater in future.... i won't be so cruel to myself :P)

Last day of my teaching life

2007-04-01T21:59:00.000+08:00

Haiz... today is my last day of teaching in TWCC. Kind of happy, Kind of sad. Happy that i can finally got one day break every week, to study and to rest. But it's sad sad to leave all my students. although they dun always practice piano as i asked them to do, and they don't always do homework that i asked them to do, but i still treasure the moments i have with them during this short one yr .

Took these photos before i leave my teaching post...

the piano that i use to teach

The theory table (it became my mugging table during the period of CTs before the students came :P)

Charmaine

Lester

Cheryl Fathin

Jia Ying (a bit pale coz she is sick today)

Mdm Eu is oversea now.. so i can't take a photo with her. She is a really nice lady who treats me like her own daughter.( she gave me hongbao on CNY and bought me lunch if i need to stay back to give extra/makeup lessons to her.... how sweer <3)

However, life is not always that smooth and you don't always get good students. Sometimes they rather go shopping, go to sleep, go to read, go to do whatever things they have, but juz refuse to pract piano before they come for lesson. Almost all my students got scolded by me for not doing their works. Sometimes they simply can't absorb whatever you said to them. Then you feel extremely depress =.=lll (i had made one of them copy D major scales almose 100 times and he still tell me that D major begins on E and ends on A, the key signature is D# and G#...)

It's a great experience to teach. As i teach them, i learns with them too. i become more aware of rhythem, notes, dynmics blah blah blah coz i need to explain to them in the simplest way that they can understand. It's very fun to mix with kids. it makes you feel younger too :P you also get to understand how difficult it is to be a teacher, and treasure all the efforts your sch teachers have spent on you :)

After this year of teaching, i realised : i am actually quite good at kids :P I dun really mind teaching them, in fact, i enjoy teaching them. (and they think i am a good teacher too :) which make me feel extremely happy as this is juz my first yr teaching yet all my student like my teacher style and think i am good!!! yeah~~~)maybe i can consider become a teacher in future =) haha

Now most of my cureent commitments have come to an end. It's time for me to concerntrate on mugging and prepare for A'level... did terriblly for my CT despite i had mug really hard for it... feel really sad =S nvm, there is still one more to go in June. Hope i will know how to answer essay questions by then!!! God bless...

Lastly...Today is Ngan Ching's birthday~~~ HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY NGAN!!!!

Mr Li Chuanyun

2007-03-31T13:33:00.000+08:00

this is the video of our soloist Mr Li Chuanyun for the YO concert [though it's not our concert video] take a look at how pro he is :P

SNYO 29-30 March Concert

2007-03-31T10:34:00.000+08:00

em.. as some of you have known already, YO had 2 concerts this week (Thursday and Friday) . It's a very fun (YET extremely tiring!!! i felt like dying after every rhsl ) experience. it's so happened that i brought my camera (YUPEE~~), so i kept go around and ask ppl to take photos with me :P

here is the random concert photo collection :P

Me and Joy before rhsl :)

Liying + Bass section - (Rayner + Yu Zhe )

with Mr Lim (our conductor)

Mrs Wong (our I/C) ... [the cases behind are our "coffins" :P]

Dinah (taken surprised by Tedson :P)

Our first full section photo [they are all trying to squat down to fit my height :P]
left to right : Benjamin, Yuzhe, Tedson, Rayner, TianChen, Me, Dinah and Sandra

Liying (ex YO Bassist)+ full Bass Section :)

Me and Rachael (oboist).. bored from waiting for the concert to start

Sandra and I

Jonathan Lee, Me and Rachael

Personaly i like the thursday concert. I think it's quite good (coz i didn't screwed up). i felt extremely high after playing it. however, the friday one is really disappointing. Mr Li Chuan Yun is a GREAT violinist!!! the violin looks alive in his hands and his fingers really look like FLYING on the fingerboard!! it's us who screwed up his playing (came in wrongly, not together with soloist, out of tune, blah blah blah...). I guess we simply cannot accompany others =.=lll

On thursday, our section went for section lunch together (exclude Benjamin who had MEP test, TC who had Lab session and Rayner who rather to go to sleep than going out with us). By the time we went back to VCH, Rayner was there already. then HE BLAMED ON US FOR NOT INVITING HIM TO GO LUNCH WITH US!!! I asked him on that very morning and he rejected!!!! now he accused us for not inviting him.... wth... >.<

Before the friday concert , Dinah suddenly broke her sandals. So Yuzhe, Sandra and I walked around the whole Raffles Place with her to get her sandals (she got Band Camp aft concert and she refused to walk around with court shoes). It's not a easy task coz Raffle Place supposed to be CBD and a high class place (accoring to what we have learn in urban geog ) and it's difficult to find the kind of aunty's sandal that Dinah requested..Though we still managed to get one in the end, i felt like i had enough exercise for the whole week ..

anyway, during the rhsl, we had quite a few funny incidence going on within our session. Below will be the laughter corner :P

***********************Here It Goes***********************

Dinah was using the Beethoven Symphony 7 4th movement to do Singapore work out during the rhsl. It's really funny coz the beats actually FIT into each other! She's doing that to me, then Rayner sudden;t turned around and saw it. He gave such a funny face that Dinah laughed until her tears were out :P

***

Tedson was doing the " hey yoz what's up" handshape to us doing the rhsl. it looks funny coz it's quite random for him to do that. We asked him to do it to Rayner. He stunned for a moment, then HE DID IT BACK TO TEDSON!!!

it's then our turn to stun. after 10 sec, Dinah started to form a cross using her fingers and shown it to Rayner. Tian Chen did the Catholic prayer actions. Sandra was wondering is it Rayner or Rayner's twin brother. i juz looked at all of them and laughed :P

***

Dinah:"Rayner , do you know why i always sit down and play bass?"

Rayner:"dunno"

Dinah:" coz i can't stand you"

Rayner:"....."

***

We were playing bridge as a section before the thursday rhsl. at the end of the game, Dinah realised her partner was actually Rayner. she practically THREW AWAY all the cards in her hands and screamed aloud :"OMG, why are you my partner! I dun want you to be my partner!"

***

After Rayner got piss off by whatever Dinah did and decided to leave us to join the other table formed by RI guys, Benjamin replaced him and continue the game. he won the bid and call for King of Heart. however, when he is calling for partner during the game, nobody appears to be his partner. then Dinah suddenly realised she took the wrong desk of cards that are short of 2 cards! which means Benjamin had no partner need to win 9 sets all by himself! [it's until the end of the game that we realised it's Tedson who tried to play on Ben and hid the fact he is Ben's partner :P]

***

Aft wed's rhsl, Dinah and I went home by MRT together. at City Hall, Dinah's eyes suddenly light up BRIGHTLY . then i realised a foreign not bad looking guy juz enter the door (really typical thing that Dinah will do). [p.s. Dinah's standard for her future boyfriend is : 1. AngMo 2. Rich 3. Handsome]

Before that Dinah was wondering shall she alight at Paya Lebar or Tanah Merah. Aft she saw tt guy, she decided she will alight at Tanah Merah so that she can spend more time looking at him. Half way, the guy suddenlt ALIGHT AT KEMBANGA!! Dinah was screaming :" NO~~~" and the whole MRT was suddenlt very quite. everyone was looking at Dinah and her desperate action. Quite embarrasing though coz i was juz beside her :P but it's really fuuny.

******************************* End*******************************

This is the 2nd last concert i am playing for YO this yr. maybe for the rest of my life. Dinah, Rayner and I are leaving for A'level break after the July concert. According to Rachael, YO is thinking abt transforming into a 18 yrs old and below orchestra (to fit into the name of Singapore National YOUTH Orchestra), so all the cureent JC2 players may not be able to come back again. Sandra's Dad had appealed to Mrs Wong to let her leave right after yesterday's concert to let her concertrate on O'level. Benjamin is thinking abt leaving with us and pretend he has O'lvl break (though he's in IP programme of DHS). It's quite sad to think abt leaving the YO Bass section coz i am really close to all of them inside =(.. but i guess i cannot run away from it. that's the way life is..

Lastly, Jon Lee is leaving for NS after this concert. ALL THE BEST JON LEE!!! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN IN NS ~~

Sick and Tired...

2007-03-26T22:45:00.000+08:00

Not feeling very well today. Having stomachache this morning before i left the house. my throat hurts like mad and i feel super sleepy. almost fell asleep during econ lesson and actually fell asleep during the lunch break. Mr Tay was asking me am i OK and why i look so tired. I guess i am juz very tired and sick of my life now. So many things to be done yet so little time. so i ruined everything in the end.

sad.

Went back DHSSE to help today. The basses actually improved a lot compare to the time i saw them 2 weeks ago. but it still not up to standard yet and they have a long way to go. Ms Ku was really worried. she scolded them very badly and trying to make them guilty. but looking at how some of them behave during chamber time, i think she will be very disappointed. coz that's how i feel then. it's painful to say that if they continue their attitude now, they won't get anything except COP.. the name of SE may juz ruin in their hand.

what Ms Ku said to SE was like some kind of enlightenment to me. Ya it's less than 1 month to SYF, yet all of us are still not prepared for it, even for RJCE. i know that more than half of the people are in SNYO, but it doesn't mean that we are all good enough to be excuse from practicing... really worried abt SYF.. especially we are leaving early for YO on Wednesday.. missing yet another half of the rehearsal XS and Bass are only going to have sectional [the first and last sectional, according to Rayner] next wk onwards... it's getting, em, "exciting" ,isn't it?

Mr Eric Lee tried to show us a urban geog video today [he's wearing a LEE belt, and we were laughing that he won't have to worry if he lost his belt].. Our claz muz be not fated to watch any video... coz something always goes wrong whenever we are going to watch a video. The player refused to work with us, first time no sound, 2nd time no picture. How nice. Mr Lee got irritated and decided to tell us our CT result for Human Geog: i got 11/12 for source base and 11/25 for essay[dunno if he is bluffing us...] The claz was shocked that i got 11/12 for source based, but i was really sad abt my essay.. i spent quite some time reading them yet i am still only close to a B, and it's only urban geog. i bet i did even worse for Physical Geog...

Life really sucks, whenever you spent so much time on something yet there is no return.

more abt yo assessment

2007-03-24T21:49:00.000+08:00

em.. Liying asked me abt yo assessment today. actually i had blog abt it already. but i will be more detail today ..

at first we thought the assessment is for Violin 2s (coz they are really bad... they way they talk is much louder than the way they talk.. they want to fake also dunno how to fake properly.. the worst thing is: they invade into bass section's area !!! UNFORGIVABLE!!) but it turned out for desk arrangement.

Here are the rulez:
1) it's on Beethoven Symphony No.7 first movement
2)all first desks dun have to be assessed (they are assumed to be good enough.. which is quite sad ,coz we actually hope they can assess queen as we think he is not up to standard to be an AP yet... but since none of us want to stand beside the king anyway, it's still better for him to stay where he is now =P)
3) Assessment will be on 3rd March .. originally (coz Mr Lim was hospitalized and thought have stroke, causing right body paralyzed.. turned out to be high blood pressure).. so it's postponed to 10th March

the assessment was much shorter than i thought. we were told to play the opening scales, then played a fast part that we like. the whole assessment didn't last more than 1 min.. some oboe player played less than 24 bars!!! it's individual assessment, according to names. the order and comments are as follow :

Yu Zhe: Screwed up his high A for the scale.. (he claimed he can do it during practice normally..) told to play slower for the horrifying third page

Dinah: Mr Lim said her sound has improved a lot.. but she think it's not very clear.. was told to play slower

Sandra: was told that she got quite some wrong notes in her playing

Tedson: i can't rmb abt him.. but he sprained his right wrist on the assessment day. and he hurt his right hand 2nd finger a few days ago... it's TWICE of my finger then.

Me: em.. i dun have negative comment. Mr Lim said my rhythm is good. my playing is good. and he was very impressed that i breathe before i start playing ^_^

Benjamin (came late due to MEP): he used my bass coz he had no time to take his out.. since he's not use to it, he kept snapping the bass.. partially coz we chased him in for audition juz aft he reached for yo (we were rushing for dinner), so he is very unprepared

The assessment had led to the new desk arrangement (upper at right, lower at left):
Rayner + Tian Chen (duh)
Me + Dinah (we switch.. but still playing own original upper/lower parts for the upcoming concert)
Yu Zhe + Sandra (Sandra is angry and hating Rayner now coz he separated Benjamin from her... )
Tedson + Benjamin (Mrs Wong told them that they might get kick to TO due to their poor performance in assessment.. they got scare and even went to ask Mr Lim for re-assessment.. but he said they are ok.. juz put them in the last desk and will continue to observe them)

the funny fact is: All Ms Yeo's students are playing upper now (except Benjamin whom i have no idea whether he is upper or lower.. he got same result as Tedson so it's up to them to decide)

and that's it for the assessment

**********************************************************************************

So far, the new desk arrangement is ok... was not really use to it last week (though only changing after concert, but King insisted) coz i can't see rayner/dinah/mr lim at the same time anymore... Dinah was not used to it coz she can't take off her shoes anymore (she's directly in front of Mr Lim now).. Sandra and Benjamin were not used to it coz they need to leave each other (how sweet <3)...Tedson and Yu Zhe are fine with anything.

oh there was a small incident happened this thurday: coz i got CLL CT on friday, so i was thinking abt exchange place with Sandra and sneak into 3rd desk so that i can mug.. it so happened that i was late and sandra was already replacing me!! I was like "YES!! 天助我也!!" before the king asked me to change back with sandra ~>.<~... he said it's not his fault for me to be 2nd and muz stand at where i belong.. he said it's not his fault for me to take CLL and had CT on friday.. ARHHH~~~~ dunno why they insisted that i shall stand at where i am =.=ll maybe becoz i am the only person in the whole section that king and queen can get along quite well with ..so i am acting like the green belt/ the berlin wall... lol

YAY CT's over !!!

2007-03-23T17:52:00.000+08:00

as the title suggests: YES CTS' ALL OVER ~~~ HURRAAAYYYY *dancing on the tip of my toe*

today's the last paper: Chinese Language and Literature. but didn't really study today. talking to my cousin online for the whole morning. he's in USA now for exchange programme. haven't seen each other for more than 1 year. really miss him =)

haha many people complained to me that this blog is full of chinese and they cannot read.. i dunno if your can't read is "it's in alien language though i know you are typing in chinese" or the "i hate chinese and chinese hate me" type of can't read... if you are the first type, please change your encoding to unicode. if you are the latter... too bad, i always feel i can express myself better in chinese :P

kinda of miss my friends in TJC and from Dunman High... haven't keep in touch with them so sometime... maybe i shall start organising some movie outing to go out with my friends.. when my schedule is not that pack anymore ^_^

最近覺得非常缺乏精神糧食...心靈飢渴呀... 好久沒有讀到好書了...*泣:~>.<~:*誰有看到好書快點介紹給我吧~~在我被"餓死"之前....:P

CT and SYF

2007-03-22T10:01:00.000+08:00

tomorrow is the last paper for the CT: 華文與文學. glad it's finally coming to an end, although i really enjoy going to school in the afternoon only (can sleep until 9am everyday =P). Overall the papers are not so difficult. but i didn't prepare very well, so make some careless mistakes here and there, got 1 or 2 questions dunno how to do in every paper...*sigh*

昨天華文考作文,覺得寫的很爽.想起以前老連強迫我們每週都要交剪報的日子,感謝他,使我每次再寫報章報導或作文時都下筆如有神,寫得行如流水,輕輕鬆鬆就寫了4面再加1行,絕對超過1500字 *比出V字手勢+仰天長笑三聲*...我寫的是漫畫作文,主要是針對老人的家庭地位發表意見.其中我最滿意的一句話就是:"...老人在家中的地位竟然比不過一隻畜生 (指寵物)?!這不是可悲是什麼?" 個人最滿意就是"畜生"那一詞.不過我想老師應該會對它發表一些意見吧..哈哈

THE SYF WILL BE ON 20 APRIL!!!
so there will be entended practices or maybe extra practices to be expected in the future =.= but doubt whether there will be extra bass sectional ( the king simply has overwhelming trust in Kelvin that he can play well... though i doubt that). At most combine with cello.. and it is going to be VERY BORING... arrrhhh~~

here is my schedule for next week:
monday: go back to DHS to give bass sectional~6pm
tuesday: SYO rehearsal~10pm
wednesday:SYO rehearsal~10pm
thursday:SYO concert~around 10pm
friday:SYO concert~around 10pm

how nice... can't go home before 10pm for almost the entire week.. I NEED MORE SLEEP!!!!

說,還是不說?

2007-03-20T23:28:00.000+08:00

finished econ and geog CT. if econ was a sigh of relief, geog was a heavy sigh of desperate: i was staring at the question blankly and dunno what to write for the first 15 mins.. this shows how do i feel abt this paper. the only good thing was that i completed the whole paper. the bad thing is i dunno if whatever i had written is relevant or not. according to past experience, abt 70% are irrelevant stuff. so whether i will do well for it or not is still a BIG question mark =.=

hate tml's schedule: chinese lit in the morning and maths in the afternoon. always feel double stressful whenever having 2 paper on the same day..well, juz 2 more days and this whole thing will be over. hope i can survive up to then =S

think i saw someone shoplifting today. the guy put something into his pocket and went to the counter. but i didn't see him took the thing out to pay for it. i didn't dare to go and report coz i was not really sure if it is 瓜田李下還是真的順手牽羊..最後我選擇了明則保身. 但心裡還是覺得很不舒服..好像是暗允了犯罪的發生,而自己也是共犯之一..有股衝動想去告訴店員,不過最終還是忍住了..啊~~~~ 好鬱悶

詛咒發明考試制度的那個人...他現在一定是呆在18層地獄永不得超生...詛咒你詛咒你詛咒你詛咒你.......

Stressed

2007-03-19T09:04:00.000+08:00

Today is econ CT. i shall be sitting in front of my study table and mugging hard abt it now. but i can't. i feel really burn out. i need more space and more air from my life. so i decide to surf the net and give myself some freedom, although i know i will regret ant doing this 10 minutes later, when i see the tons of things that i have not finished mugging yet.

the schedule for last week really screwed up badly. i planned to mug 2 topics from all subject everyday but failed juz becoz of the screwed up schedule. the students suddenly cannot make it for lesson so i have to come out with another make-up lesson with them, Ms Ku suddenly called me back for DHSSE and i stayed there longer than i expected., the endless SYO rehearsal.... 就像全世界的事情都等著我去做,但我卻無法全都完成,最後全搞砸了的感覺...

好累

kinda of happy that my teaching life will end on april. though it's sad to leave the students as i really enjoy having lessons with them. yet i really cannot cope with my life anymore. the schedule before april is like hell... full packed everyday and can't go home before 10pm.. i dun even want to think how will it like before SYF or before next CT. it'll be juz another nightmare.

唉

time to go back and continue studying abt Multiplier Effect... facing mental Law of Diminishing Margin now =.=

DHSSE practice

2007-03-17T10:57:00.000+08:00

met Ms Ku on wed after chamber practice.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Ms Ku: 你什麼時候可以回德明?
Me:什麼時候都可以呀.只要你需要我我就回去.
Ms Ku: 我現在就是在問你,你什麼時候可以回德明.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Becoz of this short conversation, i paused my study plan for the oncoming CT and went to DHSSE with my bro yesterday. i was planning to stay for the morning sectional only so that i can go home and continue study for the CT. but when Ms Ku asked me if i want to stay back to watch their combine rehearsal and for some reason, i stayed back until 5pm and agreed to give another sectional to the basses 2 weeks later... Orz felt as if i had attended the DHSSE rehearsal with them..

During the sectional, i helped Linghong and Tee Shir (i guess that's how her name spells..) with their SYF pieces. It's a really difficult job coz their basic techniques are not there yet.. not only intonation, i had to teacher them what's the different between forte and accent, how to do cresendo, how to switch between pizz and acro in the shortest time blah blah blah.... Linghong said attending my sectional feel like been in the hell.. but i was very worried abt their standard..only managed to go through one piece with them. hope they can absorb all the things i thought them today.. dun have the energy to teach them the whole piece again =.=

Maybe it's liying and my fault.. we spoilt linghong when we were the SL so she dun know how to behave like one yet.. need to teach her how to lead the section and help bass section in SE to get together now..what a tiring job *sigh*

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE SNYO ASSESSMENT RESULT IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have been promoted from 2nd desk lower to 2nd desk upper now~~
i got the A-, the highest score among all bassists taking assessment with me !! YEAH~~~~ *jumping around and screaming*

interesting fact: all Ms Yeo's students are playing upper in SNYO now=P

can't wait to share this news to my friends =) YEAH~~~~

SNYO assessment

2007-03-12T23:45:00.000+08:00

Last thur was the assessment that every bassist (except the first desk) in yo is freaking out abt. although we were told tt it's juz regarding desk arrangement, everyone was still scared (of course, i dun want to get kick from 2nd to last desk... too embarrasing =.=)

well, the assesement was actually very short. abt 1 min plus. Mr Lim asked us to play the scales in the opening of beethoven sym 7 first movement. then we can play one part from the faster tempo within the movement. it's not really as hard as we thought. he said i did very well and i got good rhythm!!! yeah~~ i am happy as long as i can stay 2nd (and i never thought abt going first.. so do the others. nobody wants to stand beside the king. yucks)

It's quite funny that the very moment everyone stepped out of music studio, they started grinning non-stop, made me think that everyone did excellently well for assessment (i was really scared coz i was the last one to enter and everyone seemed doing well...). but during dinner, they started complaining how they screwed up, such as Yu Zhe missed his high note, Sandra played a few wrong notes, Dinah complained her sound is not clear enough, Benjamin was told to play slower....how ironic.i end up to be the only person not getting any negatice comment (ok. i am 暗爽 abt it. i admit)

Benjamin and Tedson were terrified after the assessment coz Mrs Wong told them they might got kick to TO coz they did badly for assessment. they even went to look for Mr Lim to ask for re-assessment. Luckily Mr Lim told them they were doing ok and would not get kick to TO. will be very sad if they leave YO since we have been section mates for so long (and they always bring fun and food to us =P)

overall, i am quite satisfy with the assessment result (though Mr Lim didn't really give any desk arrangement for bassists.. all other strings have 大風吹 on the very day after their assessment)..

6 more days to CT!!! shall start mugging now >.< 加油加油加油!!!

never name your children this way if your surname is wan...

Wan Ngan Ching... maybe you wanna take note of this

Chinese Names - Annie Wan (Anyone)

Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan? （anyone）
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.

Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!
Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this?

Caller: I'm Sam Wan（ someone）. And I need to talk to Annie Wan! It's urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what's this urgent matter about?

Caller: Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noel Wan（ no one）was involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!

Caller: You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator: I'm Saw Lee. （sorry）

CLL Tea Session

2007-02-27T17:48:00.000+08:00

On Monday, a group of RJC Bicultural JC2 scholars were asked to organize a tea session to increase the interaction and bonding between CLL teachers and students (以更通俗的话来表示，就是由老师想要我们请她吃饭却不想付钱就对了). that's what we have for the tea session:

The FOOD we have... (most of them contributed by teacher..haha but we made the sandwiches!!!)

happened to meet Xun Yong,my pri sch classmate aka secondary sch mate aka JC sch mate on my way to 办货, so... PHOTO TIME =)

the great organisers for the tea session =)

Some of the people who attended the tea session ^_^ with 2 teachers at the back

自拍 with Eliz on the bus

Oveall, the tea session was a great success.. everyone was so high that refused to end it , even the teachers were asked to perform for us and THEY DID!!! though it's really tiring after the whole thing (i lost my voice totally T.T), but it's nice to see everyone enjoy themselve. GOOD JOB everybody!

the only bad thing for the day was the woman who forced us to organise this thing WAS ABSENT =.=lll too bad for her then. she can't see how much we enjoy ourselves =P

Special thanks to Eliz's mum.. her curry chicken is YUMMY~~ (though i failed to get much chicken out of it coz i was really bad in digging for food =.=)

hope the JC1s can organise this kind of event again next yr and invite us back to join it !!!

Busy Friday..

2007-02-24T20:40:00.000+08:00

Yesterday i went for a talk at SPH. it's abt some journals, who have been staying in Taiwan or China for quite some time, sharing their observations and comments abt China . the Old Woman who sent us there wanted us to wrote a report abt it and assess us from it, to show how loyal we are towards CLL. =.=lll

(Left to right: Eliz, Tab,Liyue,Meifen,Yang Yang and Ching)

Tab and Liyue

Mei fen and I

Eliz, me , yang

Well, the first session of the talk was really interesting. but the other 2 sessions the speakers managed to make the interesting opics became boring. Even the teachers themselves fell asleep =.=lll The biggest acheivement of the talk is: THE FOOD IS VERY NICE!!!!!! Eliz and i even went to get the namecard for the catering service so tt we can order nice food if needed.. haha

Yummy!!!

During the break, we met 聯合早報副刊報米花的副編輯. She told us a lot abt the life of reporter and how can we apply for it. She made it sound so fun tt Ching and i decided to go for it after A'level. $50 per day seemed really attractive to me =P

the talk was from 9am to 5pm. after tt, i met Hanyou at RJC and we went to Emily's Bday Party together. It was great to see Emily and Tianyao around as i haven't seen them for more than 1 yrs. YO doesn't feel the same ever since Emily, Tianyao and Wailee left.(though the part we suffer under the king's cruelty is still applicable up to now) T.T.

according to Emz, there are 14 bassists in her party (and is joked to be the biggest bassist gathering in Singapore ever=P). it can be a record and history created by Emz..haha.. we shall call it the the Emily Effect XP

tianyao, hanyou and i left arnd 9.50 to catch the shuttle bus, and only knew we missed it by 5 min when we reached the bus stop =.=lll the next bus, which is also the latest bus was at 10.30pm... luckily we met kath there. and she happened to know some ppl who were leaving like us, and gave a ride for us to Tanah Merah MRT station =) thanks Kath~~~

on the way, happened to know one of the passengers is Ms Wang, the staff of YO ..有眼不視泰山..she's also the bass SL for TPO (WOW~). she told me tt she is persuading mrs wong to buy a new bass for yo coz some of the basses are more than 20 yrs old !!! (ever since ms yeo's generation ..) hope she succeed.. coz my bass got weird sound coming out from it =.=lll prey hard that i can get the bass change !!!

Mr Lim is still in hopital coz his nerve got problem and is affecting the right side of his body.. kind of worry. wonder whether the assessment will still be on next sat (hope it's cancelled >.>)but mr chan's conducting made Bee 7 sound great!!! hope it'll still be him (not mr tan) again on thurs ..

Dad's in Singapore now!!

2007-02-21T10:16:00.000+08:00

Whenever my dad comes to Singapore, i feel i am going on a tour of "Exploring Singapore".. My dad likes to go on places he never go before and eat things that he never tried before. 身为杨家大女儿的我, 也只能舍命陪君子了. ..[my dad suddenly very fond of using this phrase, whenever he dun want to make decisions and force me to decide on things ...]

--On chinese new year eve, we went on strolling at Pasir Ris Park and reached home at 12am. 健身兼守岁.

--大年初一, we had lunch at Changi Airport, then we went to Tampines Ikea and Court for tour. We spent the whole afternoon playing the Xbox games, and realised i cannot be driver in future coz i have the potential to crush all the cars on the road, according to the game we played =.=lll

--Yesterday, we went to Little India to buy white pepper seeds for my aunt in Taiwan. It's interesting to find out that the whole Little India only sells while pepper POWDERS ina large packet... all the white pepper seeds are in 100g size. So my parents and i went from shop to shop to ask for 500grams of packet white pepper seeds [my dad said that the whole Little India muz be spreading the rumor of " 3 mysterious Chinese keep going to shops and ak for white pepper seeds. muz watch out of them !!!"]

Later, we went to Sentosa to see how crowded can Singapore be... after going sentosa, i felt it is possible for Singapore to reach the population 6million people... it's more like a Sentosa Human Exhibition than Flower Fest...

Anyway. the school starts today and life is back to normal.. DHS still celebrating CNY today.. so jealous of my brother >.< 10 more days to YO assessment !!! aim to practice at least an hour per day.. 加油~~

Take 5 day

2007-02-18T09:43:00.000+08:00

last friday was Raffles Take 5. It's an event tt they celebrated Total Defence Day, Chinese New Year and Valentine's day together at CCAB.

The RJC managed to break some record by making everyone squatted down in the formation of "RJC" and ate oranges together (personally i felt it's really dumb). but it is still a record anyway... so congrats RJC =)

spent the morning with diff ppl to do diff things..
-played chinese chess with sharon ling (and lose to her badly) before she left at 9am (the event started at 8am..)
-watch talentime with ngan's class
-accompany joy for her facial painting
-get ballons and interview chinese teachers with wang jue
-look for elizabeth for the stupid CLL event discuss
-play hide and seek with chinese teachers (they hide, eliz and i look for them to ask they abt the budgets for the CLL event)

and i managed to walk through the whole CCAB while doing all these things!!! 太崇拜我自己了. I dun even know i am hardworking enough to accomplish this task...

Anyway, i pon the whole event at 11.30am to go for Double Bass lesson and managed to bride Ms Yeo's daughter with the free ballons and sweets i got from the previous event. 小孩子就是好拐=P

on my way home, i met someone whom i thought i'll never meet on the MRT : the king !!! (Ms yeo and i used to suspect tt he may not even know how to take bus and mrt since his dad is fetching him everywhere... ). it's really shocking for us too see each other. luckily his stop reached very fast. or else it's quite weird for us to look at each other and dunno what to say =.= 超尷尬

Lastly, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE !!!

新年新鮮事

2007-02-16T18:40:00.000+08:00

according to Tedson, tonight will be the eve of the eve of the chinese new year. to start the new year fresh, i have decided to become a blogger (der den ~~). [also becoz i haven't updated my space for so long that it became kind of deserted already =.= can't be bothered to change it anymore...]

yup that's it
