The Rain

Rain rain go away!

Just let the sun and blue sky make my day :D

Well gosh, it's been like raining 24 hours this wet and (of course) rainy Sunday. It's pretty rare to see a 24h rain here in Singapore. And not sure why it's raining cause umm I think it should be sunny? Oh wow what a smart reasoning. But anyway yeah, it's been raining and the weather is freaking cold. I had to wear a long sleeve T-shirt just now -.-"

Anyway today was awesome (beside the rain) cause I went to Ikea with my sis and her bf! I always love going there cause it's so awesomely inspiring. And you never fail to "I wish I have that room" or yeah. I went there to get some photo frames for my room, and yes I bought them already! Lots of them :D Hope can put every one of them in good use heh.

And another good thing about Ikea is the foooooood. Ate my fvourite meatballs there, and this prawn open sandwich! I remember eating something like that back in Sweden as well (but tasted 100x better than the one here) so yeah brings back lots of memories. Man, I really wish I can change the design of my room anytime I want with the designs in Ikea :P

Dinner at Holland, we went to try the Korean food there! Tell you what, the food is awesome, and the service is awesome as well! The price is sort of awesome too :/ but well good food, so worth the price. And it's not as if I'll be eating there every week (or even month) haha. But yep, I have to compliment one of the manager there, really helpful and caring :)

Grocery shopping as usual, and uhh yeah bought things to bring back as well! I'm going back on Tue for CNY so yep! But wow, I'm bringing LOTS of things uh! Haha, oh well I need to plan the stuff again, hoepfully can pack nice nice and yeah. Hopefully won't exceed the limit either :O

Right what else... I guess that's all for today! Meeting WP, Liz and Candy for PBL tomorrow, really hope we can finish it ASAP, I don't like PBL :/ Wait nope nope, must be positive. I love PBL! It's my life... Hahahaha. Okay chao!

Dear sky, you look nicer when you're smiling brightly you know? :)

Life, oh life

Hello, I won't be blogging today but I'm going to post a video! Once more haha. This is a song be Desiree (or Des'ree, I'm not sure which). It's called Life. Believe it or not I once heard this song when I was in... Primary 2 or 3... I know it's definitely a time when I was very very young. And I remember seeing its MV on MTV, but then, who could remember clearly the video now?

So well I have this song in my iPod, but I went to search its MV again in Youtube. Thanks to Sony for blocking the video in Singapore (not sure why either, what's wrong with sharing awesome songs :/) but I found one anyway! So here it is!

This song is really really nice. All I know, when I was young, is "Life... Oh life" but well now, I know the songs lyric, and understood it! As ordinary the lyrics can be, there's this underlying strong and powerful message and symbolism in the lyrics. Listen to it, I'm sure you can see why and how it is powerful.

And one more - this song is just so happy and joyous to listen to. And now that I'm reunited with the video, it just adds to the powerfulness of the lyrics!

Oh well, life, oh life...

The wind

That play a wonderful melody

Hmm the weather is still acting weird... Like today! But anyway the evening was nice and breezy though, so me likey! And I stayed back to study after school today, from 10 to about 6! Sweet huh. IDEAS was cancelled so yep, well of course, I didn't study straight for 8 hours, that's called being nuts. Well at least I managed to study right :P

Anyway since Math ended at 10, umm I think it really sucked to actually go home after that, for it means I'm only in school for 2 hours -.-" so I've decided to stay back for a while. Met Chee Ming first to pass him his present, then went back to class and... Ate Mac haha (sorry for the anti-climax). We then decided to go to Spectrum to study instead.

You know.. Spectrum is sort of like the newest hangout space in SP now haha! I think it's so famous everyone sort of forget the existence of Colours :P But all thanks to my classes now held at T14/T11B area so yeah, it's rather convenient there. I like it there though, even though it can get (or it's rather) noisy, well so long I have my music there should be fine.

Studied with Zaki and Niv, Syazwan left after his prayers while Hari and Larry left after their GEMS. Syazwani came a while after haha. Anyway had a great time with them! We joked sometimes so our studying session was not boring at all! Left at about 5.50 plus. And yup that's all for our studying session.

You know I really like the feeling, when you end school and then you walk out of it as you are heading for home. Then the sky is beautiful, the wind is breezy, the cloud is nice. Oh man I just love that feeling! Well as I stepped out of Spectrum today, I looked up the sky and it was wonderful! I really love it. And the wind was nice as well (Y)

I was surfing the web in the evening when I came across Dr Kelly Tang's (Composer of the SYF 2009 set piece) page at Reverbnation. I was ELATED after I found out that there is a recording of Overture No 1 for Wind Band! Well even though it's not by TSMB, I'm still happy, at least I found a song that will remind me of my last SYF :)

Waves of memories rushed inside my head as I was listening to it. The recording was performed by St Andrew Secondary School band, and they're really awesome. Oh well the last SYF for me was both a sad and happy moment for me. But ultimately I've learnt A LOT during those times, and of course, one valuable lesson which I actually have kept since then :)

Right what else... Okay I think that's all for today, I wanna continue my RWP report! Gonna do some "light" stuff today. It's Friday anyway, not gonna work so hard eh hehe. See ya then!

Sometimes, I just feel I'm thinking WAY too much :)

The Weather

In this grandeur stage, I performed

Photography by Yours Truly

It's really scare to perform in front of a full house! :)

Well well something is definitely weird with the weather these days, or one of these days, cause it's been raining on and off! Like today. It was raining in the afternoon, then it stopped for a while, then it rained again, then stopped once more, and I wanted to go home at about 5.30 but it rained again, and yeah! Haha. Oh well, not sure why either.

Today was alright I guess, I did quite a lot of things! Decided to stay back in school to study and I managed to do lots of things. Finished my Math tutorial 11 and 12 (I know I'm slow) and also some of the IO Chem tutorials. Did some read up on the past few chapters as well. Actually the chapters are easy, just that it's a lot of memorising especially the reactions O.o

And I finally get my hands on the MD34 recordings! Wee, thanks a lot to Emmelyn for uploading em on Facebook. I can listen to it and keep it for eternity hoho, like well for a long time of course. And I can also let my parent listen to them, since they're unable to come for the concert :)

Hmm I was thinking about lots of things about MD yesterday.

You know, even though many people in band don't know me... Who am I, what instrument I'm playing, my look or even my name, I really feel honoured to play along with these musicians. We are one group of people, that go for the same direction - to play music together and put up a wonderful concert. Well I'm sure everyone is heading for the same direction.

Performing in Esplenade is one of my biggest dream in life. It's one of the items on my life's to-do list. And yes I did it, and yes I stroke it off from the list. And I told myself that I would make 23rd January 2011 one of the best days in my life, and yes I did.

At some point in time, I do feel that uneasiness. But I put that feeling aside, deep somewhere far from my heart. I'm not sure if it's going to continue to be like this. But I do want to let you know that well if it does continue to be like this, I'll just give it a shrug and let time flow and decide to where it will take, to which direction it will go, and to how it will go.

Sometimes life is funny. When we do something for just one intention, something may obstruct us and sort of distracts us from whatever we are doing. But oh well, c'est la vie. It's hard to tell in this perfectly imperfect world huh?

Alright I guess that's all for today. What am I talking seriously haha. Back to more studyings tonight! Wheeeeeeeeee

Hmm nice, perfectly imperfect world

It's in it

Rays of hope, for a better tomorrow

Love this scene, taken yesterday :)

Right, now that MD is over, is sort of weird to be at home at this hour, since usually I have band eh? But anyway, at least I'll have time to catch up now, so that I can study and prepare for the soon-to-come exam, meow!

Anyway the past two days was alright... Did the independent exercise on Monday, 2nd session. Well today we check the result and it sort of fail. Well not sure, I have to count the colonies first. Cause somehow there's more bacteria on the agar with garlic, where it should be no garlic. So I guess we have to increase the concentration of the juice I guess.

But as I once said, failure in experiments are the trials and tribulations of scientists. And there's no way we can ALWAYS get a positive result eh? So yep. Perhaps we can change the experiment a bit on the last session.

Glad to know that my group did well for our RWP presentation! A-team (as Lizzie mentioned) for Liz, Bobby, Syazwan and me! But Ms Khoo said I have to maintain my grades :O Meaning I have to ENUNCIATE more, during classes and etc. Haha, oh well I guess it's for my own good as well :)

Hmm alright I guess that's all for today, I'm currently suffering from post-MD syndrome with random parts of New World, Gaga, Candide, WHAV popping out in my head at different times -.-" It's always like that, this happened during SYF too haha. Alright then, see ya! Gonna study tonight, that's why I blog early today :P

It's in music, that I seek joy from, and to

Musical Delights XXXIV!

Right... It's 1:17 AM right now and I'm still blogging. And yes I'm very very very tired. I just reached home a while ago from school after SPSB concert - Musical Delights 34! It was just a blast. It's beyond words. But all I knew is that I have enjoyed myself there, and I have played with my heart and soul. Despite of the few mistake here and there, I think everyone did their best :)

Anyway assembled in school at 9,45 to move out our instruments and carry the percussion instruments. Reached Esplenade at about... 12.30 plus and we had lunch at Yoshinoya with my fellow clarinettists except for some who had some administrative issue going on. Went back to Esplenade to prepare our rehearsals.

Rehearsals went on from 2.30 to about 5. The band sounded really good there. And when I first stepped into the hall, I was just feeling two things - speechless and happy. Speechless to know that this hall will be filled at 7.30 PM and happy in a sense that I am actually going to finally perform in Esplenade - one of my biggest dreams in life.

Had dinner after that and we were preparing for our concert! It was rather chaotic cause I need to pass some tix to some people so yeah, but thankfully all went smooth and yup, finally the time to shine was there.

I won't go into details of the concert, if not this post will take like a long time to finish, plus I'm tired :P So yeah I'll just burst my feelings here.

This is what I love about music. Music alone, is just a subject. A subject that can evoke THOSANDS of emotions. A subject that can do THOUSANDS of different things. It's just not an ordinary thing. Many people could not think of these different things and feelings music can evoke. But if you seek deeper inside this thing called music, you'll know why.

I told myself that I'm going to enjoy this concert. And yes I did. Even though I did make a few mistake here and there. I told myself that I should carry on and go with the music. Bury the past, and go on. Reminds me of what happened in SYF 2009. But anyway, I have enjoyed myself there and gave my best shot. To me, that is enough.

For me music is just something one should enjoy doing and should share with others. You don't have to be perfectly, spotlessly fine when playing music. Sometimes, we focus so much on being a good player, we have lost the mission of enjoying music while playing it. Oh well. Music is just something that I can truly enjoy to myself, and of course, truly share with others.

Music is powerful. It brings people together into one group that showcase our passion of music through just one thing - playing music together, and putting it together into one. I may not be known by other people in the band. But just to let you know, it's an honour for me to be able to play with all of you. It's a great experience I will never forget in my life.

When I once said that I come to band to enjoy and play music. Well, I do mean it. But of course, not forgetting the awesome people around me who made band even more interesting, and enjoyable. Well I just hope the cards I make for my section is good enough to show my thanks to them for the past... 9 months plus experience.

Alright I guess that's all for today. Currently, I'm just really tired. I need to get some sleep, and I'm waking up early tomorrow morning to meet Candy and KX to continue our Microbio experiment. Okay... See ya

The memories of MDXXXIV shall remain in my heart, always.

Tomorrow!!!

Photo taken during IBM last year

Lets play as beautifully as IBM

Or even more beautiful!

Good luck SPSB! :D

Hello there, it's been quite a long time since I blogged... I think. But anyway you should know the reason why. I'm busy with band of course! This week is like one of the most hectic weeks of my life. But well it's gonna be worth it, cause...

Tomorrow IS THE DAY!

Yep finally the day for MD34 has arrived. Whew! I've been waiting for tomorrow to arrive and it's finally arriving heehee. It's like finally, all the days I've been working hard for will be paid off tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be a great concert for everyone. And of course, no doubt that I'll enjoy tomorrow's concert as well!

Anyway today I had band as well. It's our last practice before MD itself. But went earlier at 9 (I was late) to make the gifts for serniors. I thought I was late. But when I arrived, there were only Vanessa and Jason. So well the three of us did the gifts to our seniors and then Lionel arrived, followed by Jiajun. And then we continue from then on.

Band was awesome I guess! I don't know why, it's either me or it's real or it's the last-practice-before-concert feel. But I think I sound good today hahaha! So is the band, despite of some mistake here and there. You know like last time during SYF, I remember that the band sounded so nice during their last practice before the day itself. So I'm not sure if today the band -really- sounds good, or it's just me.

But nevertheless, I am pretty sure, we will give our bestest shot tomorrow! And if we sounded good today, I'm sure we'll sound AWESOME tomorrow heehee.

Well band ended later than it was supposed to end. It ended at 3 instead of 2. So I have to rush down to Holland cause I was meeting Hendy! He came to Singapore for a visit after he has finished his study in China so yep. Had lunch with him and my sisters.

In the evening went to see my dad's colleague as she just gave birth to a cute girl! Well the baby wasn't at their house as she needs some monitoring in the hospital, but looking at the photos... Gosh she's soooo cute haha. So heart melting!

Alright I think that's all for today. I hope that tomorrow's programme will run smoothly and beautifully, like how a piece of music sounds to my ears. Anyway yep, wishing all the best to all SPSB members for tomorrow's MDXXXIV! Lets rock the Esplenade Concert Hall tomorrow! And impress the audience.

I came up with this line - Let's play With our Heart And Voice tomorrow, and take the audiences to a New World! For We Are! one haha. I know it's lame, but good luck peeps!

On the side note...

As I once mentioned during IBM, tomorrow, I will play on that prestigious concert hall of the Esplenade tomorrow, with my heart and soul. I'm going to leave those things behind, and play like how I would play those beautiful music I have been practising really hard for the past few months. I will let my emotions flow out, and enjoy myself on that stage. I am going to make tomorrow, 23rd January 2011, one of the best days of my life :)

She's back :D

Hello, I'm currently at Spectrum now. The new hangout space at SP! Haha. Just finished studying for Mathcad, thankfully it's an open book test tomorrow, cause seriously, there's so many things we need to do to stuff the things we need to learn :O Anyway I'm done writing all those tiny little things we need to take note to solve the equations. Tomorrow should (hopefully) be a breeze.

And I just took back my Tamron lens just now! Went all the way to Tampines again and yeah, she's back! Yay haha. And it looks like a BRAND NEW lens haha. Even though it's 2nd hand. I guess the maintenance and the fixing makes it looks new. Can't wait to try it out again!

And as I was approaching the service centre, I received an SMS from Sony telling me that my camera is ready for collection as well. Oh man how can I not be happy, it's like double happiness! Now the question is whether I should bring my DSLR to MD34. Hmm...

I cabbed back to SP after that, simply too lazy to take the MRT and plus I'm chasing time as I want to practise my Mathcad. And I'll be having band later on. I think it's really weird for SP to only allow us to open Mathcad at SP only (and not at home). This means we can only practise it in school -.-" That's why I rushed to school to practise it before band.

Hopefully I can study Chemistry after band tonight. Today I totally forgot that I have to do some exercises for IOC. You know I think this is my first time that I feel how CCA can affect my study. I used to be able to manage my time well during secondary school and last year for IBM or normal band pracs. I think the time clashes perhaps?

Like having presentation this week (a major one) and another last week. Plus having Microbio independent exercise. These three combined with band make me sort of too busy to remember some of the assignments given. Oh well, nevermind. I told myself I will give it all my best for band this week, and perform well in MDXXXIV!

I can then spend my time on studies 24/7 (just a number) after Sunday heehee. So yep! Persevere on! :D

Okay I guess that's all for today. I'm leaving for band now hehe. Hopefully I can continue studying tonight, so that less precious time will be wasted :) See ya!

Keep going, keep pushing, and let 23rd January be an awesome day.

PS: No picture today :P

Run!

The track I ran

Photography by Yours Truly

In negative :P

Wee, I'm currently blogging outside my room now. It's rather awesome doing this cause the wind is breezy and it's pretty cooling out here. Perfect condition to cool my body down, after running! Yep I just had a run after a long time. Not sure why, but I just feel like running so yeah. Plus I bought a new pair of shoes as well heehee.

Anyway started running from my house there, I ran towards the back of Pandan Valley, went straight ahead and... Lost my way. I thought "the way" would lead to the "way" which I know. But turned out it was in some weird place haha. But I continued running down and found myself in Ghim Moh area. Ran some more and I found Buona Vista MRT!

So I knew I was heading for the right way cause I remember that I once ran with Victor and Jesher in that area. And I knew that the path would lead to this running track which I usually run with the two of them. So I continued running and found the track. And I ran the whole track (2 km). So a total of 4 km plus today! Sweet...

But my speed sort of deteriorates. Umm took myself about 18 minutes to run 2km. That's slow compared to last time, where I once ran like 14 minutes haha. Pardon me, I didn't exercise for a long time, and plus I had ran another 2 km earlier so yeah. But nevertheless, I'm not running for the sake of being the fastest. I run for the sake of exercising (and improving time of course).

Came up with a quote today, while running.

"Don't run for the sake of overtaking others. Run for the sake of overtaking yourself"

Cause while running I had this urge to like "I should overtake this guy/girl". But then I find it pointless to overtake them, get tired, and then they will overtake you again hahaha. So yeah why not just run to constantly overtake yourself?

Righty, it's been the 2nd week of 2011, and my resolution of exercising at least once a week is still going on. Yep, I'm telling myself to exercise at least once a week to keep myself fit. I wanna lose weight! Hehe. So yep... Lets hope this resolution will still continue till the end of 2011.

And as for today, it was just an ordinary Sunday I guess. Had lunch at Holland and went to Lim's Arts. It's a cool place there - pretty inspiring cause the things there are nice and cool. Did the usual grocery shopping and I bought myself a new pair of shoes! It's a Nike shoe and it costed $119. Ouch. I saw an Adidas shoe at the cost of $89 but the design is not to my liking.

Alright! That's all for today, it's an awesome day, cause I ran haha. What a weird reason. But I love the run today, cause the weather was awesome. So I'm loving it! See ya!

One more week to MD XXXIV!

Too much

Daylife

Photography by Yours Truly

As calming as the blowing wind.

Today was an awesome Saturday cause I'm... Slacking my way through! Mwahaha. Just kidding. I mean yeah I was slacking during the day but I think I won't do so tonight. I'm going to do some stuff haha.

Anyway I have been losing sleep right this week, due to band and stuff. So I actually slept for like 10 hours mwahaha. It's so shiok! But I was having weird dreams while sleeping. I dreamt that I went to some mountain, will malls and shopping centres there -.- well it is believed that when you dream of going to mountains, it means that you're tired haha.

So woke up today and went for lunch after that. I did nothing much in the afternoon so yeah. Oh! I've finally received my 50 dollars deposit from that shop and cancelled my lens order. Gosh, it's so irritating. But it's okay, at least I have my 50 back and it's a proof that I really ordered it and I have a deposit then.

The guy told me that he wanted to "check" with Sony on Monday if I still want it. I told him never mind. Do you think I would still want my lens after 1 month plus of waiting, which you claimed to be "two weeks" only huh. Yeah right. So anyway, I'm fine with it, problem solved. But I'm afraid you've lost some parts of my trust about you :)

Went to dinner at ION. Some fried chicken wing stall. It's so freaking awesome! So crispy, I think one of the best chicken wing I've ever eaten. But it was so filling. And smothered with guilt as well. Walked around ION and Taka, and Daiso! Haha. Shopping at Daiso is fun, since everything is $2 there, it's really easy for one to just "take it all in". Got myself some stuff too :P

Anyway as I said, I'm going to do a few things tonight, I'm preparing something for the clarinet section! You'll find out soon on next Sunday heh. Anyway, doubt they will see this so yeah. And I'm going to practise my RWP as well! Remainder to self - ENUNCIATE haha.

Alright that's all for today I guess. Time to get busy after this, gotta bathe now! And arrgghh I seriously can't wait for MD34 haha!

The camera doesn't tell who the photographer is,

The photos he/she take do :)

Part of your world

Sometimes I wish life can just give me an answer

Photography by Yours Truly

And sometimes I wish I can stop thinking too much about things :/

Hello again, it's been such a long time since I blogged huh? Anyway yeah pretty busy. There were times when I wanted to blog and I ended up not blogging cause... Either I'm tired, or yeah. Anyway, here I am blogging! I wanna take a break tonight :P

So Friday was usual I guess. Joined the class for IDEAS, since I don't have any group, I was just group-hopping and yeah, helping those who need help and checking out their ideas. I think SP should take out IDEAS from DPA, cause I sort of feel detached from my class. While everyone was having fun discussing , I was there doing nothing.

After class, I went to meet Sharon to study (had lunch first though). Since I was having band on Mon - Thurs, I didn't have the chance to study and revise. So I think Friday afternoon, its whole afternoon, is my chance to catch up and revise. I'm really happy with myself. I usually lose focus during studying period, but I finished quite lots of things!

I did Math, so I'm done with tutorial 9, and the examples for chapter 9 as well. Did some microbio notes as well, finally I'm able to understand all those different media. With the help of a book I read in the library as well :) Wei Lun came then, and not long after we left school and head home. Congrats Zhi Rong for winning the monopoly competition! And... Hehehehe

So since I did quite a lot today, I've decided to take a break tonight. That's why I'm here to blog rather freely. And talking about blog... ---I'VE CREATED A NEW TUMBLR!- But don't worry, I will still blog here. My tumblr will be more on photos, quotes and yeah. I wanna get myself a photoshop though, so that I can edit and write stuff on my photo :D

And plus I'm still getting used to tumblr hoho.

Well this week had been quite a tough and tiring week. And I know next week will be even tougher. With RWP presentation, and 5 days of band practices. But I'm okay with it, I'm going to make 23rd January one of the best days of my life! I'm going to perform well on the prestigious stage of the Esplenade concert hall, and impress the audiences!

And not to forget, I'm going to enjoy myself :)

Right... On the side note, read this. I took this off some astrology website about my zodiac - cancer

"Because of their sensitivity, they can be seen as overemotional and touchy"

I've been talking about me thinking too much about things. Sometimes I really believe in what the zodiac have to say. About Cancerians being over sensitive. I'm not a hard-core believer in astrology and stuff. But I do feel that the over-sensitivity part about cancer is true. I hate to say this but, I'm a really over-sensitive person.

I can think about one small tiny minute things, and this thing can branch out into absurd humongous things which are not the truths about that little thing. But then, as I once said, over-sensitivity can either lead you to the truth you've been searching for, or a bitter and painful realisation you never want to meet.

So I am still asking myself. Am I thinking too much?

Oh well sigh, it sucks to be me. Anyway I'm going to stop here, feeling really sleepy now so yep. See ya then! I seriously can't wait for MD34 to come! I can't wait to perform there, it'll be my first performance in Esplenade! So how can I not be happy and excited? Hehe. alright then see ya! :D

Sometimes I ask myself. Why am I not in the part of your worlds?

Like a precipitate

Right, not in the mood to blog today. But I feel really happy with myself cause I'm finally "disciplined" enough to not touch my laptop or PC to open it before I started doing my work just now. I told myself I wanna do Math before I can touch my laptop. And even better, I even did some Microbio notes. Wee, I hope I can do this more often heh :P

Anyway hmm since I have no mood to blog, I'll just post this up yeah? It's my favourite song. And it's the title I used for my previous post. It's called cerf-volant, or kite in French. To me, one of the most free-est and happiest song I've ever heard.

This song is from the movie "Les Choristes". A French movie which I've mentioned a while ago. And this is the last scene. Of course, the song is a happy and free one. Even though Clement (the man) got sacked from the school, he left for good with Pepinot at the end. And the rest of the children got liberated from that dreaded school, with each of them reaching their dreams.

How could this song not be nice? And free?

Everytime I hear this song, be it before school, or after school, I always happy. It's just a song that can really make you feel happy and nice. And free. Oh well these days my mood are changing drastically. I've lots of thoughts about lots of things. Sometimes I just want an answer.

But that answer never comes.

Cerf-volant

Where our dreams shall soar freely

Whew, it's 11:55 and I'm still blogging! I still have some stuff left to do but I'm still here haha. Oh well, so just gonna post for a while only. Today was awesome, had band as usual on Tuesday and we did sectionals first, followed by combine later. It's... 12 more days to MD34! Oh wow so I'm very very excited and scared and nervous as well!

But I'm more to the excited side, cause I'm performing at the Esplenade! It's like one of my dreams, and it's one item on my list of things to do before I die heh. So of course, how can I not be excited eh.

Anyway my phone is really screwing up. I think I charged it for too long, so the battery of my Nokia phone is sort of "fat". And it's battery life is so horrible. I charged it on Sunday, and it was flat on Monday night. Anyway I think what my sis says is true. I shouldn't get a new battery since I'm getting a new phone soon :D So I'm using my motorolla one now!

And getting my motorolla again sort of makes me smile. Cause I last used it when I was in sec 3. And it wasn't much of a use. It's really a while. So most of the pictures in my phone are pictures when I was still in sec 2! So it really brings in a rush of memories into myself. It's really... Happy and sad at the same time.

Looking at those pictures made me realise how much time has moved quickly. I even have some picture when I was in sec 1! So yeah, those were the innocent days I once used to have. I once used to dread, but now, I forever cherish.

Anyway I'll be having a presentation tomorrow! So lets hope tomorrow's presentation will be a smooth one. The topic of the presentation is pretty interesting so yep, I'm sort of looking forward to tomorrow's presentation :)

Alrighty that's all for today! Shall go work on my part of the presentation now! See ya all!

I go there to enjoy and play music. And make friends

As freedom is as beautiful as joy

The girls

And guys :D

Today was a fantastically tiring but awesomely wonderful day! Well but overall, it was a wonderful day. I love today totally, despite of the many (oops) workload I am having for next week, today was a bliss. I love it. Well nothing seriously beats the joy of going out with your friends, especially if you have not met them for a long time :)

Anyway so I met Cheryl at TSS first in the morning. So sorry for being late! I woke up late so yeah, wanted to leave my house at 7.30 but ended up waking at 7.30 so yeah. But anyway reached Tanglin, poor Cheryl for not being allowed to enter the school cause she's wearing slipper (I seriously feel it's such a ??? reason to not allow an alumni to enter).

Went up to meet the band peeps, it was really... Like re-living my memory of secondary school life. Walking through the canteen, waiting for the band to perform at the same spot in the hall (beside it). And more. Oh well. Wonderful times. Talked with Cheryl about lots of things while waiting. And then Chong Tuck, and the rest of the 4E1'09 (some) peeps came and we talked.

After the band performance, went up to band room to play the... Clarinet! Even though yes I played the flute back then but well I'm playing the clarinet now so yeah :P Helped out in the booth even though it was a while, and camwhore time! Hahaha. Plus I played the eupho with Cheryl! Haha it was so fun, pitching was hard though :P

To my dearest TSMB - I seriously feel all of you NEED to buck up. I am brutally honest here, 3 months to go for SYF and I don't think you are ready for it yet. A bronze is far from your grasp. And I tell you, this year's SYF gonna be tougher. If you want to get a bronze, you need to work harder. If you want a silver, you need more than hard work. It's possible, but it's gonna be tough.

Anyway some pictures...

2009 batch with Mrs Thia (those who went, Suyi left already :( gosh, it's been 2 years!)

Reunited with my Jacob de Haan - autographed La Storia score! :D

Ate lunch with Jolene, Kelvin, Wei Lun, Sharon and Federick at Ayer Rajah food market (Y). Fed and Kelvin went home to get changed, and we all headed to ECP with Nissa then. We went to cycle, while Ben went to skate (it was supposed to be Nissa but they swapped hehe). Went on the double bike with Jo then Sharon hehe.

After feeling "full" with cycling we went to Bugis for dinner and met Tacy there as well hehe. We ate at Victory restaurant. It's an Indian restaurant. I love the mutton briyani and murtabak as well hehe. Man, I had a mutton-licious day today! :P

And yeah that's all for the outing, we went back after that and yeah . It was a really fun and lovely day today. Thanks a lot guys! I hope you had as much joy as I had today as well :D

Hmm right I guess that's all for today. Sigh, how I wish everyday can be as wonderful as today. Alright see ya then! It's pretty sad that I'm going to send my girlfriend to hospital tomorrow T_T but nope. This, will never stop me in my photographic journey! I'll make sure she gets well, and we can make more love by shooting more pictures. :D

The moments in life, that are just too priceless to let go.

Stamina!

Lets welcome this new year

Photography by Yours Truly

Beautifully, like this sunrise :)

Right. Seriously, I didn't realise I have not blogged for the past 4 days or so... Oh dear. Well you can see how busy I am eh. So yep. Sorry for the long update. Anyway the first few days of school were alright. First day was the best - cause I saw my photos being displayed! Yep! The photos I submitted for the photography competition. But seems like I didn't win though so too bad :P

Anyway school was fine, got some of my results back and I am pretty much happy with them. Some are shocking haha. I mean awesomely-shocking. So yeah. My time is sort of tight right now with lots of deadlines catching up with us. Oh gosh, it's gonna be one hell of a hectic week next week and next next week and next next next week.

Basically, I think the first three weeks of the year :P

Anyway today was alright. I was so tempted to skip math, cause I woke up at 8. And I was thinking whether I should just skip math and go for IO Chem instead or something like that. But I pushed myself and there I went, in school. After school finished up our RWP presentation to prepare it to present to Ms Khoo. And sigh, I suck when I'm nervous!

And my weakness in talking is two things - talking to fast, and explaining vaguely. So it is pretty... Bad hah. I need to learn how to speak slowly. Or else... My RWP mark is at stake. I think it would be pretty wasted if I were to obtain a low grade (for RWP -.-") thanks to my bad habit. It's just... Yeah :/

So after the presentation headed for band. It was a tutor session so we were just practising slowly and yeah. Thank God we're gonna "negotiate" with Mr Chiang about the tempo. I know that part in WHAH is really a killer. At such tempos. But we'll see hehe.

Something funny happened on my way back to the MRT. So I was walking towards the MRT when a woman came to me and asked direction to T7. I know a shorter way (instead of through FC5 and Moberly and yeah) plus I'm afraid she'll get lost or something like that. So I brought her near FC3 and told her the direction.

As I walked back to the MRT again, another woman came and asked the same question. So I did the same as woman number 1. Then I walked back again, and... Another woman came and asked the same question! So total of three times of telling the same set of instructions heh.

Alright I guess that's all for today. I think I should start revising for my modules. Gonna touch up on my IO Chem right now, cause the new chapter is rather complicated so I need to read on it more. Alright see ya then! :)

Don't think it's funny.

Happy New Year people!

Right so first of all... Have a happy new year! Lets look forward to 2011, and let this year be an even better year than 2010. Lets sail through this year smoothly, happily, bravely and of course, with joy. Oh well I didn't blog last night (as in on 12 midnight or something like that?) cause the internet went down so too bad.

Anyway... Sigh, my 2010 ended with my lens' filter shattered into pieces, and my camera body having scratches. It fell... All thanks to my carelessness. But well what's done is done. Thankfully it's only the filter (not the lens!) and they are still working fine. Even though my lens is damaged, so I wanna try and fix it when I'm back in Singapore I guess.

New Year's eve was a fun one (except for my camera). We didn't do steamboat this time round, we made spaghetti! Including the sauce and everything. Made some fruit desert as well so yeah hehe. Was really fun, cause my cousins were all there and we were having lots of fun. I thought I was going to have a lonely and quiet new year but well nope hehe.

As for the first day of 2011 was fun as well. Guess what, I went to Jampang with my mum. So one of her buyers is having a wedding tomorrow. But since she couldn't make it, she went to visit him today to pass her congratulations and yep (he's a loyal buyer haha). And Jampang is like a 3 hours drive from my hometown, further south. It's pretty... Isolated? And "quiet"?

Yeah it's more like small towns, not even bigger than my hometown. And my hometown is already considered "small" so yeah imagine that. We also went to the beach. The beach is... WOW. The water is CLEAR and blue! It's so freaking awesome. I wanna swim there but I didn't bring any extra clothes so too bad.

But yeah, so concluded that my first day of 2011 was awesome. Lets hope the remaining 364 days will be as awesome or more awesome as the first day!

And well sigh, as everyone is happy to welcome the new year here, I sort of feel sad cause... The holiday is ending! Oh well I'm sure everyone in Singapore (who are starting school on Monday) will feel the same as well. C'est la vie I guess. I'll be going back tomorrow, sigh, that's all for this holiday I guess? Bleah I'm going back to reality :/

I guess it's like the same old "routine". Well at least last year I have the Os results to look forward to when I'm going back (I know I sound nuts but really!). And of course to start my DPA. But this time... Of course not heh, it's like I'm back for school. But nevermind, my resolution for 2011 is to keep thinking positively. That's it :)

So well 2010 had been, I feel, a great year. I've "started" lots of things. From my poly life, to starting DLSR photography (and lomography and films), from joining the band to re-start my clarinet playing, and most importantly to step into the world of Biomedical Science. It was of course all wonderful.

But there were also the bad sides of 2010. It's a bittersweet year I guess. From having -that- incident, to finding crystals on my kidney, and to realise that I'm allergic to paracetamol. To failing experiments, getting horrible grades and yeah. But so, lets keep 2010 aback, and look forward to 2011 and welcome it with our welcoming hands.

Time is a mystery that keeps flowing. And it flows not in the way we want them to flow. So the only best thing is to prepare, accept, and adapt. I've learnt that I tend to sort of let in the negative energies in easily. So in 2011, I wanna let in the positivity more. I wanna look things on the bright side more in this year, and less of the sighing and complaining.

I know this will be hard, but I guess I have to try!

Hmm alright I guess that's all for today. Sigh I really hate the I'm-going-back-tomorrow feeling. But once more, c'est la vie! Alright then see ya and have a happy new year again! May 2011 be an awesome (and awesome-r) year for you!

Hello 2011
