Brass Explosion 2011

Holy moly! I went to Brass Explosion Gala Concert just now and...

IT WAS MIND BLOWING! (literally)

I really really enjoyed the concert. It's my first brass band concert and it was just WOW! Seriously. All the soloists, Mr David Childs, Mr Morrison and the others were just heart melting! Especially Mr James Morrison who is just a fantastic/wonderful/brilliant brass player! He can play everything I guess. wonderful!

But it was a pretty long concert meow, like almost 3 hours haha.

But seriously worth the ticket!

Alright just a real quick update cause I'm feeling excited about the concert haha, so I have to blog it :P Alright see you then! Time to do some research :O

New respect for Brass Music! :D

Back to square one

Right, today my sis had returned back to Indo for good! Which means I'll be alone here :O Plus with the fact that my cousin is going back to Indonesia too, as he'll be continuing his studies there instead, that means I'm really alone! :O But oh well, that's why I said it's back to square one, when I first came here, where I have to live away from my parents.

So I guess I have to get a good used-to situation then I should be feeling okay. And thankfully there's a test tomorrow, so my mind is taken off somewhere else. So I guess I should feel okay! Hehe.

Anyway today was really an unproductive day. But I guess that's the way I wanted it to be. In the afternoon I just felt like doing nothing. Literally doing nothing. Cause I wasn't in the mood of doing anything. I wanted to run in the evening but it was dark and cloudy outside, with thunder roaring from the distance. Thinking it was going to rain... I fell asleep heh.

I didn't realise that I slept for like 2 hours from 5 till 7. I woke up at 6 halfway. I rushed to cook! Cause my plan is to finish cooking etc and start studying at 10. I have burnt the whole afternoon so I have no choice but to make a full good use of the night. But I cooked an awesome (Self-praise) chicken carrot and mushroom soup! It's so delcious :D

Here's the picture! :)

Oh well now that I'm alone, I realise I have to do more things. In a sense... I have to plan my cooking/food requirement for the week. Now that my sister is no longer here, I won't eat out that often (eating out alone sucks :P). So I guess more cooking and more da-baoing! So I cooked lots of soup today and saved some for tomorrow. Yum.

It's one week left to holiday. Which I'm not really looking forward or feel so excited about. Since the dreaded exams is AFTER the holiday. I'm not sure why SP made it this way. But since this happened for me, lets just see, who knows it's a better system (hopefully, which I feel it isn't). So I guess yup, hopefully I can study well during the holidays!

And I'll be going back this Friday, and decided not to go back for the entire holiday. Going back to Singapore 3 days earlier! Cause I really have to study for the exams. And hmm I got this feeling that I won't be studying much during the holidays either. It's a holiday for goodness' sake haha, I find it really hard to study. Doing work is fine, studying is a bit hmm.

Alright I guess that's all for today! Gotta bathe then study. Despite the fact that I'm alone now, I'm not going to give up. I'm back to square one, but I'm sure I'll be making my way to get the check-mate. Yep. See you!

Time to be even more independent :)

Do what I say I wanna do

Right, it's Friday night and I'm finally able to take some time off at night to do what I want to do, right after studying! Ouyeah, I did PK2 just now, and I did it before 12 and so... I can blog about the day! Heh. But yeah, my rule is that I won't blog if it crosses 12 (as in start to blog after 12, other than that it's okay) unless it's like... Something I really wanna write.

Okay nevermind if you don't get what I mean.

Anyway today was alright I guess. Feel so accomplished today, I'm such a good boy this Friday! Haha. Even though my class started at 12, I went to school at 10 to finish all my tutorials etc. But I felt so meow after seeing the email from Mdm Mah that says the deadline for the Biochem e-tutorials is 17th June. Oh my, and I rushed everything.

Hey, look on the bright side, I'm done! :D

Candy joined in at about 11 I think. We studied till class was about to start and we headed for class then. Oh my, I really find it difficult to hold my concentration together during Ms Chan's class. Cause I just find the lesson so difficult to understand! At first I felt okay and focussed in her lesson. Then my attention starts to drift. Any recommendation to keep my focus on?

Had the scifinder training in library after that. It was alright and fun! thankfully the trainer is someone cheery and nice. Was expecting this librarian with a monotonous voice and boring way of teaching (stereotypes... Oops). But she's nice hehe, and I find Scifinder really interesting! :)

Wanted to donate blood with Vithya, Candy and Kai, but the queue was so long so Vith and I decided not to donate blood. Ate lunch with Vithya (she ate cookie though). Thanks for accompanying me to eat my lunch! :D And then I went to T11C for further studying while Vithya left for home. At T11C there were Larry and Nic, and Niv joined later.

Had such a fun time at T11C, trying to hack Niv's account, and Niv trying to hack my twitter (which she succeeds by the way :P). But... Ultimately... I GUESSED her password correctly! Holy crap! Hahaha. But too bad she changed it already now :P And of course I did some biorisk and Pharmacology there. But just wasn't in the mood to study, oh meow.

Went to cut my hair in the evening... And bought ingredients for cooking and yep, that's all for the day :)

Anyway I've decided to start this "series" of writing once more. Not holiday writing but.... My favourite things! Haha.

My favourite things #1 - Sunset skies

You know don't you just love it when you are walking, on your way home or something like that, in the evening. And then you looked up onto the sky and see this nice picturesque view of the sky, pink, purple, blue, yellow, orange, or golden in colour. Yup, I think seeing beautiful sunsets is one of the most blissful thing that can happen in life seriously.

I enjoy sunset skies, or basically, skies. I think they represent freedom, they represent joy and peace. They represent lots of things. For instance I believe that skyscapes are like life. They are in constant change. Sometimes they are beautiful, sometimes they are just pure plain and grosteque. But that's the beauty of life isn't it? It's never perfect :)

Alright I guess that's all for the day! These new series will not be long long, just something short and simple, telling a short description of what I love hehe. Alright ciao!

Contain the excitement!

Productive

Wee, another productive Wednesday was today! Did lots of things again today, stayed back with Zaki to study as well hehe. And I managed to do what I planned to do again so yesh I'm very happy hehe. Nothing beats the joy of satisfaction when you manage to do the things you planned to do. And you stick to them and you did them and yep.

Morning was alright I guess, pharmacology as usual. Yay we're done with what we need for MST. Good news or bad news but oh well. At least we finish em! Pharmacodynamics is a bit of a ?? to me though, gotta read more. But pharmacology is pretty interesting. Biochem was alright again, had the class quiz again and this time round we got 2nd by half mark heh.

Nevertheless I think Mdm Mah's idea of having this quiz is a fun thing, we get to learn together, have fun and study! :)

After school stayed back with Syazwani to do our Biorisk work. We did everything, and turned out.. We only have to pick 3 activities -.- but anyway we ended up picking one from each of us (Me, Syaz and Reb). Zaki came after that while Syaz gotta leave for CCA. Studied with Zaki till about 7.40 and then we both head home. I met my sister in Clementi for dinner though.

Something "inspirational" happened just now.

While we were walking towards the MRT station, we passed by that plaza area thingy where there were lots of graduants outside the SPCC taking pictures, taking jump shots, giving hugs, with a big smile on their face. SP is having their graduation ceremonies from Monday to Thursday I think. And there were lots of happy faces here and there.

Zaki and I decided to stop to see the commotion.

Me: Two years later, we'll be there hahaha.

Zaki: Yeah man, all the best "gives that punch hi-five"

Me: Okay set, 2 years later we take photos there, and jump shots. I'll be the photographer.

Zaki: Haha okay

Me: And who knows? When we are there two years later, there will be two year 2s talking the exact same thing right here.

Hahaha, it's a pretty awkward statement but somehow... True and enlightening I suppose :)

Oh well seeing the graduants made me happy for them. Their 3 years of poly life have come to an end and of course it's time for them to celebrate. It will be our turn 2 years later, and some of my friends (and I) can't wait to graduate (as seen from their FB status and tweets). Same for me, I can't wait but... They will be the inspiration for me to work hard! :)

Alright I feel happy for accomplishing many things in the afternoon but well, I didn't do so at night. Ended up doing nothing, and I'm freaking sleepy right now (it's 12:51 now, look how long I left my blogger on the page but not blogged). But I guess... I shall sacrifice tonight, and use tomorrow to pay back my unused time today.

Sweet, that's all for today I guess! And yayness, it's gonna rain soon! Please rain tonight, I want a cold morning tomorrow :P

2 more years. Lets make them a wonderful one.

Sailing FOC 2011 :)

View from topper room @ Poly marina

Hey! So I'm just back from the sailing camp~ It's pretty awesome! finally get to sail again after about one year plus... Even though the wind on the first day wasn't that nice, the wind today was awesomely great. There were some fast winds just now and it was really fast to swim on that wind, cause my boat just went vroom haha.

It was a 2D1N camp, reported at clementi at 9 AM, and we went to poly marina then. My group went for sailing first, then the day 1 games. And after that there were the night games which were really fun as well, especially that not I sir game hahaha. And then lights off! I think this is the first time in my life that I got 8 hours of sleep in a camp -.-

2nd day was more of sailing. But this time roung my group went for the games first, then sailing. Today'was wind was damn nice! I really love it hoho. Was sailing with Wai Tat. So sorry for my really bad sailing skill heh. Sailing in a Pico is so... Unknowingly hard. There were so many times where I didn't feel I was pointing/bearing too much. Hence my direction was all over the place.

We then washed up, recovered and debriefed. I stay a while more to help them wash the power boats, and to clear the topper room. Which after that I went to eat dinner with Zaki at the west coast market. Damn, I ordered $3 of carrot cake, only to realise it's for 2 people :O But I finished it, that's how hungry I am :P

Well I guess I'm joining the sailing club. But no worries I'm not leaving band. Since sailing is on Sunday, hence it won't clash right hehe. Sailing is something really nice. Today the weather was so nice (and hot) and sailing under the wide blue sky was just something I really love. Undescribeable with words... And the wind is (Y) as well.

Honestly speaking I prefer being the crew heh. Well of course I have to learn how to hem one day, and tag etc, but being the crew is quite fun too, handling the jib sheet. I was sailing on a laser 16 yesterday and I enjoy being the crew. And I was sailing a pico today and it was nice too, being the crew. Even though yes being a hem was nicer and more challenging.

My favourite part of today is when there was this huge ship wanting to cut across our area of sailing. Wai Tat quickly changed place with me and we were tagging here and there to move away from the boat. The water was choppy, the wind was strong. There was this sense of excitement and adrenaline which is... Nice! Hahaha.

And another one was when I was sailing and there was this fast wind-moment. I was sailing and the wind was strong, my boat almost flipped to the other side. I didn't hike out, but I bent my body back to balance the boat. And I was travelling at quite a high speed, it's so nice haha. Adrenaline ftw.

But well, with scraped knees, a broken spec, and a very tanned skin, I really enjoyed the camp! I get to sail again and yep. Kind of regretted not joining sailing last year though, which I could have done... But oh well! Too bad I guess.

Alright that's all for today! Lots of work coming up my way (crappp). Lets finish everything and try to sleep as early as possible tonight. Ciao!

The wind, the sea, the blue sky = bliss

INNER MONGOLIA HERE WE COME :D

How I felt today - over the clouds :)

Woohoo! Today was such an awesome day, thanks to Kai Xuan who tagged me in an FB post where she told me that Candy, Kai, Jonathan and I are going to Inner Mongolia! At first I didn't believe like how the heck did she know. Then she told me email. And I saw the email from Ms Tan and the heading was "Congratulations........" and I was like Yaaaaayyyy hahaha.

Oh gosh, my fear is finally cleared and phew - I can finally heave a sigh of relief... I feel really happy that we are going for the OCIP! Cause as I once mentioned it will be such awesome fun if we can go to Mongolia together and do the CIP together... Cause great friends + OCIP = Awesome fun! And oh, Kay Heng is selected too! So more people I know will be going :D

Was so excited about this from afternoon. Now that it's at night I feel more "stable" already. Boy, you don't know how excited I was in the afternoon and evening. I might not show it on my face but deep inside, I'm smiling like a total retard.

Anyway today was alright I guess. Practical in the morning was surprisingly short, and damn it I hate myself for being so clumsy during practical. I spilled a vial of Tatrazine accidentally and said the F word in front of TSO Kelvin. And he was like "relax" hahaha. Sorry, didn't meat to say that but seriously, I was so clumsy in the practical. Why.... I don't know.

Since the practical ended early, we lepak-ed in FC5 from 10 -12. GM bio was... Ouh. So... Nevermind, think positive! I can do this! I will revise and revise and revise again. Whew. So muc things to do yet soooo little time. Why why :(

After school ate lunch with Min Li and Lizzie, then Zaki joined in. Went to library to search for the iGenetics book and OMG, can't believe it's all being borrowed. I guess I'm too late. Joined Bobby, Nic, Larry for studying at T11C, which after that Niv, Syazwan and Vivian came. I didn't really study (screw myself). But I got the TCA cycle better now :D

Sigh, I really hate myself today. I told myself I wanna do my work at night and now I get 0% of my work done. How wonderful is that. Plus I'll be having sailing camp tomorrow and Sunday. No choice, I gotta do my work on Sunday I suppose :/ Why Adhi why... I should have gotten more self-control... Oh well it's done now! I have to keep my promise.

Alright, I haven't packed for the sailing camp which I'm really looking forward to :D It's been such a long time since I went sailing and can't wait to try it again hehe. Be back on Sunday! Hope I'll have a great fun for the camp! See you

Nothing makes me (and you) happier, knowing that one of your life-long wishes is going to come true :)

Productivity

Wee I'm in school right now, still, with Kai Xuan and Zaki. Did lots of things in the afternoon so I feel really accomplished haha. List of things which I did includes:

-Lab Bio tutorial

-Biochem notes

-Biorisk RA (my part)

-Re-typing my group's Biochem CBL

-Pharmacology tutorial

How can I not be happy! Hehe. I love the feeling I get when I accomplish to do lots of things, which I target down before doing. At least I manage to do them, ouyeah. But not gonna stop till here, shall continue with more things tonight.

There's a reason to why I did all of the above things in school instead of at home. All of the above things require my lappy to be done. Laptop = Facebook = Twitter = Tumblr = Youtube and more. So might as well do it in school and not do it at home. I realise at home, I'm more productive when it comes to non-computer based stuff (like studying). In school, more of my lappy stuff.

Today was alright I guess. Pharmacology is alright, almost late for class but thankfully Miss Joanne was late too hehe. Biochem was great fun. It was our first time doing Case Based Learning and I really enjoyed it. It's really like discussing with my group, and it gets really nice and conducive. I know now that I didn't make the wrong choice of going to research.

Oh well I'm just hoping next sem's CBL will be as fun as today's, always! :)

After school went to study. Accompanied Candy and Kai while they collect the idemnity form for their sailing camp. Then to lunch at Moberly for Kai and then FC3 study area. Kai and Candy went for their Mongolian OCIP interview today! I really hope all of us (and Saeyeoh) can make it for the trip. OCIP with friends will be like one of the most awesomest thing that can happen.

And then I did all of the above stuff, which I'm really happy hehe.

Oh well I wish I have the discipline like I'm having today, everyday, everytime. It's pretty nice and satisfying when you know that you've finished all of the list of things you want to do. It's like reaching a goal right hehe. And discipline as I once said is something hard to get and maintain, yet so easy to lose in a second. With different factors of course.

But oh well what can I do. I'm trying my best to organise my time more (mentioned in the previous post) and so I hope these little things I'm doing will take me closer and closer in achieving that discipline I wish to get and maintain.

Alright I guess that's all for today. Can't believe I stayed back till 8 now. To study. It's a very satisfying thing to know that you have done a lot of things though. But I enjoyed the company Kai and Zaki have shared. Making study not something lonely and sad. I enjoy studying with friends, alone at home, many in school I guess. Okay ciao for the day!

It dawned upon me... Of if the day arrive.

Woosh

Long road ahead
Take it one step at a time

Right, I'm blogging while waiting for my pepes ayam to finish steaming in the rice cooker. What's pepes ayam? Chicken + herbs + coconut milk --> Steamed tadah. My sis brought it for me last Saturday so gotta finish em before it turned bad. Plus I'm alone at home now with my sis out with her friends.

Anyway today is Vesak day so Happy Vesak day! May all living things on earth be blessed and happy :) Share the love always people!

Today was a holiday so nothing much to do, except that my sister is flying back to Jakarta today. So we went for a dim sum lunch just now, plus buying things to bring back for her. After that I sent her off to the airport and my sis and her bf went with me to Plaza Singapura. And yay! I finally bought it heehee.

No, it's nothing related to camera heh.

Anyway I promise myself I have to get started on my studies tonight, and tomorrow. Whew, weekend was burnt by band camp, and the next weekend, sailing camp. Oh my, and exams are coming, works are piling, and so much more. I have to get things done! But I tell myself I can do this, I can manage my time well and take things at a time each.

I guess personally speaking, I'm someone who can't handle stress especially when lots of things are "running" towards me. Well I have to go and handle them one by one, but at times I just go kaboom and urgh I hate that feeling. But I won't do to an extent where I'll go and like breakdown and cry heh. Just that I'll be physically, mentally and emotionally tired.

The only thing I can do is to plan my things more (which is what I'm doing actually). I've kept this small agenda, apart from my black one, to jot down whatever things I need to do, or I will have in a particular day. This includes outing, dinners, camps, activities and whatsoever. So I can keep track of what I'm doing, and not just go boom boom.

I really believe in the 7 effective habits taught in the FLP camp. #2 begin with the end in mind, and #3 put first things first. When we can plan things carefully, and prioritise things more, I guess things will be done smoothly yeah?

Alright I guess my chicken is ready now. Time for dinner, bathe, then study! Ouyeah. I'll pull this through. I'll remind myself always :)

I wonder.

Hello HTC :D

Taken with my new HTC! T11A :)

Hello there :D Right right right! I got myself a new phone! It's a HTC desire HD :D :D :D Oh finally, letting go of my Nokia N82, after three long years. Both sad and happy to let go of it. Sad for I have shared many memorable moments with it, like my Swden trip, my secondary school days, and many more. Happy... Cause it's a better phone heh. And loooove the camera. And data plan! :P

So meaning I can Facebook more now, in class (oops), in bus, walking home, in the toilet (are you kidding me, yes) and more. And follow my tweet @adhiantos! Don't ask the cheesy name, it stands for adhianto suherli but I shortened the second name. And I want Adhi92 but taken, Adhianto92, taken. Rawr, Adhiantos it is then!

Anyway today was alright I guess. School was normal. I've learnt something: Eat at 11AM every Monday after the Gem bio lesson and not at 12. Then I won't feel sleepy for the rest of the afternoon! And if possible, try to walk about here and there after that. The rest of the day proceeds alright I guess. Hmm, thinking of getting the Gembio book though...

After school went to Macdonald cause there's this Mcflurre 2-for-1 promotion there and it's awesome. So Candy, Syazwani, Rebekah and I went there. 2 each, and 2 free. Yums. Rebekah thought it's the worst ice cream she had though. I think it's a biiiiiit weird too. Heh. And we went home after that, Candy left for phlebotomy.

Had dinner at this place called Spize at River Valley there with my sis and my dad's colleague. She's in Singapore now too! And we had a fulfilling dinner I suppose. Whew. But nice and delicious. Even though I feel my briyani wasn't that awesome but oh well, it's good enough to satisfy me! :D

Right that's all for the update I suppose. It's Vesak day tomorrow so it's holiday! And my sis is going back tomorrow too. So will be going to the airport with her as well. Okay ciao!

I came up with a new quote today:

Criticising people without giving them the reasons why is like coming up with a formula without elaborations. Not only you will make the problem worst, you won't find solutions to the problem at all.

PS: I've just received two very important and sweet things, which is very very important for my memory. Thanks to a nice Youtube user :)

SPSB FOC 2011 :D

Hello! I just got back from SPSB's FOC :D Well I'm supposed to still be in the camp now but I left earlier today cause my sis is coming to Singapore! :D So yep, gotta leave halfway :/ Nevertheless I had an awesome 2 days with my group - slide cream! I really love our cheer haha, thanks to Zachary for the "total ownage" movement at the end heh.

Anyway I left for band camp last night. The first day was nothing much except for cheers, the "podium" moment and grouping etc. I spent the night... Eating heh. Went to 7-11 with some of the band peeps to get stuff. And we almost got locked! :O And then I played cards with Alvin, Carmen, Randall, Kevan and a year one, oh dear I forgot his name. But they (Carmen, Randall, Kevan) were teaching us to play bridge :D

So I slept for a total of only 3 hours -.-

The morning was spent by 5BX, the fun style I guess hehe. But oh gosh, we went to W10 and somehow, some of the band peeps and me are having like itchy legs and hands. I think the place is too dusty or something like that. After that proceeded for breakfast, and then went back to W10 for more games. I like blow wind blow. I "cheated" for staying put, cause I couldn't hear what they said heh.

Next was lunch and followed by captain's ball. Haha sorry but some matches were really fun to watch! :P I didn't play any cause I guess I'll give my spot to the year ones. Plus I'm not good and captain's ball :P And while the rest prepare for the night games (AKA changing to their unwanted shirt), I took my bag and left :O

But I guess the band camp was a fun one! And plus I get to mingle around with some year ones, so it's a great opportunity not to feel so "lonely" with the year ones during band :P Plus I get to interact with the year 2s as well, who I'm not so close with previously. Get to know more people, the merrier :D

And yeah I guess that's all for today! See ya then. Preparing for a long weekend :O

Untold stories of the heart.

Hope

Whew! My Mongolian CIP interview is over... Finally, I can heave a sigh of relief.... Not yet. Till the result comes out I suppose. But oh well I pulled it off I guess. I just gave my best shot, speak what I have to speak, right from the bottom of my heart. And now I'm feeling both relieved and anxious. Releieved for the interview is over, anxious for the result.

Yes I want this like really really want this. But oh well I'm not the interviewer so how would I know how well I did. And well... Let's just hope for the best! Hmm? :)

Today sort of reminds me of my DPA interview. Like how much I feel relieved after the interview and then anxious after that. Cause of the result. And well thankfully I got selected, so does Candy (she got interviewed together with me too). Haha so well yeah, I'll just hope for the best I guess. It's not good to worry too much, or be too confident either :)

Today was an ordinary Wednesday I suppose. Somehow I feel that time flies really quickly today. Like as if a day just went pass so quickly. And I love the fact that we, Biomed research students, have our own "room" at T11A haha. So it was good spending the waiting-for-my-interview time doing some work.

After going for my interview, we (Candy, Kai and Johnathan) stayed back a while in spectrum. Kai left for her diving and then the rest of us went off as well. I went to Clementi first to print some photos. And I was in the middle of this heated argument of a customer and the shop owner. I was feeling a bit err and hmm and I feel like calming the both parties down. But I don't want cause... I don't wanna be carried inside the argument.

But oh well I hate seeing arguments between customers and shop owners. I'm sure there's OTHER DIFFERENT and GOOD way of solving things rather than using anger right? But sorry, this time round, I believe the customer is on the right side. I really love his "rebuttals" against the shop owner heh.

And... I received a call from the shop and the aunty was like

"Hello this is the photo shop, anyone print photos today?"

Me : "Yeah, it's me, is it ready for collection?"

"Yeah, ask him (I told her it's me -.-) to take the photos"

"Yes I'll take it tomorrow"

"Yeah just ask him to take, it's ready for collection!!"

"Yes I know I'm collecting tomorrow...!"

-Hangs up phone-

Seriously...?

Oh well, I'll just be patient I suppose... No point getting angry with her. I just really hope she can change her attitude... And her mindset! I know it's pretty hard working in a harsh environment where orders can pile up like crazy. But that doesn't give the reason that one should show tantrum to others. Especially at work. I guess stress/anger-management is really important huh.

Alright I guess that's all for today! Shall continue studying for tonight... And studying early tomorrow morning I guess. Sigh, I think I've procrastinated enough seriously. Time to get my ass up and do work~ See you :)

Hope for the future, shout it don't whisper - Beautiful Seed, Corrinne May

Hot like a G6

Okay the hot weather has probably killed lots of brain cells of mine... Thus the title. But anyway, yeah, these few days have been HOT. Like I mean seriously freaking hot like a G6. But thankfully it rained this morning :D I was so happy to see dark clouds in the sky this morning. And when it rained as I reached school today, I simply rejoiced mwahaha.

Anyway it's a pretty long day today. With two practicals, 2 hour Biochem lecture, one hour OCRM. And of all that, one hour break. And after the last lecture, went straight to band! Whew, only had like a packet of soy milk before band. But now I've indulged in... Macdonald :P Oh well, it's okay to treat yourself once in a while no?

Band was alright today. But the weather is so urgh. HOT. So yeah hot weather + sectional not such a perfect combination eh. But I feel happy for I think that I've done quite a lot today, especially with that killer piece called CELEBRATION. Haha. It's by Phillip Sparke, and I once saw this video in Youtube of Seika Girls in Japan playing The music of the sphere by him.

And one guy commented: It's Phillip Sparke, what can you expect or something like that hahaha.

It's a killer piece, but... Lets do it!

Anyway I guess that's all for today... Oh!!

I'll be having my Mongolian OCIP interview tomorrow! Oh gosh oh gosh, wish I can pull it off well and be selected for the trip :D I've been waiting for tomorrow to come cause I wanna end the interview ASAP. As I told you I've been feeling pretty excited about the trip, even though I have not been interviewed yet so... Tomorrow is the day I guess! :D

Really hope I can pull this through and be selected for the trip :D

Alright that's all for today! See you people :)

Hot hot weather. Hope to feel some chilly weather soon...

Sunny Sunday

Reflection of the sunset on my window. Like wings across the horizon.

Today (and yesterday) was a... Really really HOT day. Gosshh. I remembered I went into the toilet yesterday, just to pee, and it's like some roasting oven inside! And today the similar happened. But oh well thankfully it's sunny and dry. If it's sunny and humid. We can all be "boiled" inside the weather already seriously -.-

But anyway yesterday was a great day I guess. It's a sunny Saturday and I met Debra and Shawn in SP. They are having an assignment about interviewing a foreigner (AKA me) so yep. It's really fun I guess (except for the part where we'll have to walk around to find a quiet space and everything is closed due to polling day).

And Shawn's questions were so... Wow hahaha. From lady gaga to photography to school work! Haha. But nevertheless I had fun :) Glad to work with you both.

Today is my sister's birthday so happy birthday sis! And we also gave her a surprise last night. I gave her an iPod touch. Yes it maybe a pretty expensive gift but the reason why I bought her that is because she bought me my iPod touch 2 years ago. And since she'll be returning to Indo this month, I wanna get her that as well. So yep.

And since the sky was awesome today, I've decided to go for a run too! I wanted to try running a new route. So today I ran in a new route which is from my condo to Holland V and back again. Ran about... 4 KM, roughly. And I took 29 minutes! Is that slow? Okay I don't know but... For me time doesn't matter. I run for the sake of enjoying running. Not for "oh I run faster than you" kind of thing. Or "oh I can run this distance in this time".

Just run! :)

And for dinner I cooked....

Tadah! It's pan-fried chipolata sausages with tomatoes and garlic. Oh yum. This is what's my term of comfort food I guess. Not only it's good to eat, gives you warmth, but easy to cook as well! Just dump the whole thing in... Just kidding. I pan-fried the sausages first, then take em out, then tomatoes and garlic, then put them back in :)

So I guess that's all for this hot and sunny weekend. I wanna do my work hehe. Plus do some other stuff. Felt really happy for I studied on the weekend, which I usually don't heh. But oh well, I have to keep this up! Alright see ya :D

Hot Sunday, but the blue sky is still, and will always be loved.

Blank

T11B :)

Blank, empty, headache, restless, light-headed. These are the few words I can use to describe how I'm feeling today. Not sure why, but I've not been feeling well today. It just feels as if... I don't know. Empty, blank and restless. Plus I was having headaches too... That's the reason why I didn't go for band today...

Anyway today was great, had our first "official" Funana lesson with Dr Lee. Really cool lecturer, funny and friendly :D Next was OCRM as usual. Well I can't deny it but well Thursday is really a Chemistry day! Heh. It's pretty Chemistr-ey but well alright I guess. I'm very happy that we share OCRM class with the DBS 2....1? 22? 23? Oh dear I forgot. But well, my DBS 1A02 people! It feels as if we're not separated, even though yes we are.

So had lunch together under T11A, and well... It just feels as if it was those days we used to have last year. Especially on Tuesdays where we'll have lunch there after Microbio, then go for Ms Khoo's class. Sigh, and now we're all in year 2. But I'm still glad with the fact that we're still together so it doesn't feel that we're separated eh.

Even after the 2nd lesson of OCRM, we still hang out together under T11A, waiting for our respective practical classes. But urgh, that's when I start to feel unwell. Headaches kicking in, and that "empty" feeling, I'm not sure why. But well I still went for practical, and we (Syazwani and I) were the last group to finish. But no worries! Speed isn't important, at least we finished it before 6 huh.

I've decided not to come for band, cause I don't know whether my condition will worsen or not. I rest a while just now after reaching home. Feel much better now :) Hopefully I won't be feeling unwell again tomorrow... Cause yeah. It just sucks, the feeling, you know.

Anyway I wanna talk about something.

For no reason... I was feeling so excited about the Mongolian OCIP trip in September. And I haven't even went for the interview (which I really really really hope I can get in man!). But well I don't know. I guess I'm the kind of person who really can't contain excitement properly heh. Especially to events/things which I am REALLY looking forward into, or I just LOVE.

Example? Hair for Hope 2010. I saw the email and I just felt excited for no reason. And till the day of my shave arrives, then I feel "relieved" in a sense heh. Next, my HK trip. It's the reason why I felt so "stressed" on the few last days of the exams just because I can't wait for it to arrive. Last but not least, my Sweden trip. After getting my Schengen visa, that's when I feel so whewww and just wished my SA1 (back then) could end ASAP.

Same goes for some upcoming events this year. I'm not sure why but yeah. I just feel so excited and can't wait for these events to finally happen. Is it because of pure excitement or joy? Or is there something behind it. Well for me, there's something behind them hehe. But yeah, I just can't wait! Hahaha.

Oh and one more thing, I really hope that my friends can get through the interviews as well. I think OCIP with friends = great, awesome, unforgettable, amazing fun! So yup, I really hope that all of us can get through the interview and go for the OCIP together! :D

Alright I guess that's all for today. See you!

Cause nothing beats the joy, of doing something good.

Music is for everyone

Right! Let me just make this a quick bloggy since I wanna do my work. Oh gosh I hate myself for procrastinating damn it. Okay okay. Anyway... Today was a great day cause it's an.... Odd-week! Tuesday! Gotta get to wake up late! (Sing according to "Friday" -.-) but yeah it's odd-week Tuesday so my class starts at 3~ Awesome or what.

Biochem was... Hmm okay. As usual need more reading but manageable. I'm really intrigued by those like glycolysis pathway. Can't believe those 10 steps are occurring inside me right now, and in your body 2 seconds ago, and yeah. Awesome human body :P

Today was the first time the freshies-band-its come for the practice! OMG man I can't believe there's like 15 clarinettists! How are we going to fit them AND the main band together inside our room. And there's like 12 trumpeters and more. Holy! The band room is just going to explode seriously. But I think it'll be awesome playing in a huge band, non?

But anyway, An Chun was telling the year ones why there's no audition in SP band. Cause Mr Leonard Tan, SPSB's previous conductor believes that music is for everyone. And I can't help it but to nod to that statement. Yes, music is definitely for everyone.

You might feel that everyone is not made for music. But actually music is for everyone. There's no denying to that :)

Alright that's all for today! See ya all soon :D

Yesh! Signed up for it already :D :D

Editorial and Red-dy outing! :D

Food we bought :D

Right! I had so much fun today at Sentosa with my lovely editorial team and Red-dy! It was really a fun day, great way to celebrate this extra day of holiday! :D

Anyway we met at Vivo at 1030, but lots of people we late :P Then headed to Giant to shop for tidbits! And drinks and so on, and we da bao-ed food from banquet as well to eat at Sentosa. Thankfully Fauzi could make it today! So it's really nice to "complete" the editorial team, even though some people were not able to make it.

We headed for Siloso beach. And damn it was drizzling lightly. But anyway we started the game with Frisbee monkey! It's really funny how I tricked so many people, pretending to be a player while I was a monkey :P After that we played volleyball, another fun game! We were just saying continue continue! Even though the ball was out :P

And we also added variations like we have to say a food when we hit the ball. Fron Nasi Ayan to spaghetti, to bimbimbap to prata and lots of things. It was just really funny to see the reactions of people (especially Jolene :P) when the ball was coming towards them! And today wasn't a good ball day for me, my face got hit for so many times! Haha, and Jolene almost hit my little brother :P Thankfully the ball she kicked hit my stomach heh.

Next we played ta...boleng? Taboleng haha. It's Kai Xuan's game. It's a game of run-and-chase and it's so awesome! My group was playing against a group where Miss Joanne was the captain. And since I was the captain, it was so funny to see her reaction! We were distracting her by asking pharmacology questions hehe. She's such a great lecturer, taking her time to join a day with us! :D Thanks Miss Joanne for coming!

After taboleng we decided to just sit down and lepak. Played truth or truth heh. The questions were really really absurd and funny. And then we played frisbee monkey again, this time round more people. And teehee, I tricked many more people! Woohoo. It's so awesome tricking them. And we were "bullying" Rahman by asking the monkeys to catch his balls/frisbee haha.

While some of us left, the rest headed for Vivo and we had dinner there. Sadly time wasn't much left so we just stayed for a while and we went home. But nevertheless, I had great fun today! :D Thank you so much to my editorial team and Red-dy for making this public holiday an awesome one :D And great, now I feel lazy to go to school, but say yes to school-starting-at-3 tomorrow!

Alright I gotta bathe, then do my work. Left with some tutorial which I have to do, and hopefully able to finish by tonight so that I can study in tomorrow's afternoon. And I'm feeling rather tired now so hoping to get a great sleep tonight! See ya :D

The sun, the sand and the sea. Never fail to give me fun

Happy SIX HUNDREDTH POST :D

First of all, to my dear blog, life-symphony.blogger....

HAPPY 600th POST! :D

Thank you so much for bearing with me, as usual! I'm glad to have a blog like you where I can just let my emotions flow into this simple page. And words will just start running like water. Emotions just flow like the river. And joy just fill my heart up. Thank you so much for being something when someone isn't around :D

Anyway since it's the 600th post, lets mark it with something special!

I just gave my table a "make over". Well not a make over like those in TV but I just placed a cool photo frame that holds 9 photos (taken by me). So it sort of give colour and "life" to my already-messy table. And actually, these 9 pictures tell me something. They act as a reminder for me to do something, always, everyday :) Here's the picture!

The 2nd picture on the 1st row - the piano.

This picture reminds me of my never-ending passion, love, and dream for music. Even though this photo was taken in black and white, the piano, is one black and white instrument that produces colourful music only the ear could see. Music is always there when I feel sad, I feel happy, I feel lonely. That's why, it's my life :)

The 1st picture on the 2nd row - some feathery plant.

The plant, with its soft feather-like feature, was swaying gently in the wind. This photo is a reminder for me, that whenever I have a bad day, I'll just let the wind carry away all the worries of yesterday. Get on with it, be positive, solve the problem, and move on! :)

The 2nd picture on the 2nd row - my dog.

I took this photo of my dog, in sort of a random moment. Little did I know I took a nice photo of him with that innocent and cute look. This photo is a reminder for me to always smile. To be happy, and live a positive life. This dog of mine is the fattest and biggest one. But actually, he's one timid dog, and cute one as well. And "many things" happened to him (which is hard to explain). But I love how he never fails to make me smile, with his "Awww" face.

The 3rd picture on the 2nd row - my other dog pondering over a green field.

This photo is a reminder for me, to always live curious. Never stop wandering about this wonderful life. To never stop searching for the answer to the questions of life. Life is such a wonderful journey filled with mystery, so one should never stop questioning about this! And with the fact that I'm a Biomed Research student, being curious is sort of a must thing to do :)

The 2nd picture on the 3rd row - reflection of a puddle of water.

Reflection. Just like a mirror, this puddle of water reflects me when I stand on top of it. It's a reminder for me, to always look into a mirror before I criticise others. And as Michael Jackson's famous "Man in the mirror" says: I'm starting with the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself to make that change :D

The 3rd picture of 1st row, 1st and 3rd picture of 3rd row - photos of sunsets.

As you all know, I love sunsets. And these three pictures show my love for sunsets. Sunsets are beautiful scenes that end the day, and tell us that another one is coming. It's a wonderful scene that ends a day, and reminds me to always keep smiling for tomorrow :)

As for 1st picture 1st row, it's just a random photo :P

So yeah, these are how these 9 photos act as a reminder for me, to do all of the above things everyday. This is why I love photography. Not only taking photos freezes a moment of time which one will never retrieve back, the photos created can also tell stories, or even teach us lessons about life. It can brings memories, or serve as a reminder for us :)

And those little cute diamonds at the bottom are the "gems" some people gave me during the FLP camp. They also serve me as a reminder of my strengths, my weakness, and how I grow from them. They also remind me of how each individual is a unique gem in this world.

Alright what a long post! Gonna head to bed early cause I'm meeting my lovely editorial and RED-dy team tomorrow! See you :D

Ahhh... Life, what a wonderful symphony it is.
