Strings

It's 2:29 AM right now, and I'm not asleep. Not studying. Not doing anything but blog. And "Going to blog" was a phrase I told myself like 5 hours ago? What have I been doing? No one knows seriously. But anyway, hi! It's been a long time since I blogged and.. Yeah, whew, glad that MST is ALMOST over, yes I have one paper left on Monday. One last paper! :D

Hmm MST was... Alright I guess. Not gonna say I screw this and that (even though yes some of the paper were really tough) and neither am I gonna say I'm so gonna do well for this and that. Lets just hope for the best, I've given my best shot, so... Why bother thinking whether I'll screw this and score that? Just hope for the best! Heh

Friday was alright, I went for a movie outing with some of my DBS mates. We watched transformers! And it was awesome! But pretty draggy, not sure why but just draggy. And it lasted like 2h 45 minutes? A tad too long isn't it? I didn't know the movie was gonna be this long so I didn't go for the PTN :O So sorry to my DBS research! We didn't want to keep you all waiting :O

Anyway today or yesterday, or.. wait, three days ago AKA on Thursday, while studying with Nivedha, Chee Ming came and asked if I am able to play clarinet for a concert next Saturday. It's a music school concerts with strings (Y) and he asked me to play together with him, together with some other band peeps and SPSE people. And so I said yes! It's an awesome and great opportunity man :D

So today we had our first rehearsal at NP. It was our first time playing, and seeing the songs we gotta perform. Some the SPSB members are Cecillia, Zhen Yang, Sham and me, and Chee ming of course. And I think it's really great that we were able to play the song with only like a few hours of practice! And the musicians are sooooo cute haha, little children playing strings! How awesome is that, future musicians I suppose :)

This is my first time playing along together with a string ensemble. Even though our parts are really minor, like only for a few parts etc, it's really a great experience. And I mean, I don't really care of the length of my part, cause to me the experience is what I treasure the most. Being on that stage together with fellow musicians (young or old) and strings! It's like a dream come true.

Oh well if it were to be an orchestra, then one item of my life's to-do list is gone.

But nevermind! Good enough hehe. And I so can't wait for the actual concert next Saturday! :D

Anyway after that we all head home, and yup that's all for the day. During the rehearsal, the string ensemble was playing Explosive by Bond. I really love that song, and salute to the vioinists who are playing the melody part just now! I was really blown away :D And thanks to them I really fall in love with that song again, and... I tried it on the piano! Haha

My hand was so "sour" after playing, duh it's fast and rhythmically hard. My hand is pain now too hah. I shall show you the video recording of my playing one day :)

Alright 2:49, I gotta go and sleep! Planning to study tomorrow morning so yep! Lab Bio here I come! Shall tame you within a day haha. Bon nuit!

I guess music, is where my heart truly lies in?

MST!

Sunrise I watched today :)

Hello! Blogging while waiting for my food to be cooked hoho. And I think it's better for me to blog now or else I'll take a long time to blog later heh.

Anyway it's MST this week! Gooosshhhh I'm so... Okay kinda ready. Just left with the studying to do etc. Really hope I can pull this MST damn well. I want to maintain my GPA :/ The past two days weren't that productive but I managed to finish what I wanted to finish. And also been memorising Biochem today, I've memorised glycolysis! :D

Last night was terrible... I had insomnia. Like literally. I slept at 830 AM TODAY. It was really horrible, I didn't know what happened. I went to bed at 3, that's normal for me, but I was wide awake till 5. So I watched TV till about 6. Then I tried sleeping again and it failed. Finally, I've decided not to sleep till 7 and see what happened. Result? I watched the sunrise -.-

I slept at 830 in the end, and I woke up at 11, and slept till 1,30. Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with me, really hope this won't happen to me again :/

Anyway yup just a short update before MST! My food should be done now.

Wishing all SP students who are having MST this week all the best! Lets bring MST down and pawn them like a tiger prowling... That's super cheesy. Okay, see ya then! Won't be posting so much during MST :)

Good luck to me for MST! :D

Back again :/

And I'm missing the beach :/

Hello peeps! Sigh, I'm back in Singapore again now. time flies really quick uh! And I'm already missing home :O But c'est la vie and life gotta move one no?

Anyway the flight was alright I guess... Pretty sleepy during my flight so spent some time sleeping actually heh. The journey to the airport was alright as well, with occasional jams here and there. Before going to the airport, I went to my aunt's house first and to a mall with her to eat hehe. After eating lunch and buying some stuff, then my sister and I went to the airport.

Pretty surprised that there are lots of people in the plane and in the airport. I mean this is a Thursday so... Not many people would go back today, they would go back on Sunday or Saturday. I guess they are the bunch of tourists eh, or yeap. And some people are even going to Frankfurt! Oh gosh jealous much heh.

You know something funny happened when we landed in Singapore. The air stewardess actually made a mistake by saying "Welcome to Frankfurt ladies and gentleman". Oh man, I really wish that happened you know :P we all just laughed it and yeah. But seriously, I think it's awesome to be actually able to go to Frankfurt! Hahaha

But hello exams :O

Alright just a short post to update. Feeling pretty sleepy. I guess I'll unpack tomorrow, too lazy to do it today :P Okay see you then!

Time flies.

Going back, again :/

Time is a mystery ain't it

Hello, sigh, can't believe that my holiday has come to an end and that I'll be going back to Singapore again tomorrow. And the most irritating thing is... I have exams next week! Arggh, but oh well as I once said, I think there's nothing wrong with trying out the new system of exams after holidays, cause personally I don't know it will turn out.

But definitely, I'm going to study like mad for the remaining three days of the holiday (AKA Friday - Sunday) cause yeah, seriously no time. And I guess, since I'll be alone in Singapore from now on (with my sister here already now, and finished her studies), the exams will be a TERRIFIC way to distract me. So that I won't feel so sad, which I always do whenever I return back to Singapore.

Hmm I don't know why but this time I feel sad leaving... Not saying that I don't feel sad whenever I leave before this one. Just that I guess okay maybe one, there's exam (which I'm not sure why I should feel sad about exams heh, it's just exams) and two, I don't have school RIGHT away from my day of return. Or there isn't something exciting that's gonna happen (except Inner Mongolia OCIP which is 3 months away and -that-).

Like for example... In 2008 I wasn't that sad cause I'm excited for sec 4. In 2009 I wasn't sad cause there's O'level results, and DPA. In 2010 I was excited for MD34. But now.. I'm not sure why I feel sorta sad. I guess it's the exams and I don't know, stress? Or the fact that I'm going to be alone? I'm not really sure.

But oh well really hoping that I'll get distracted by all my studies and exams. When life is normal and I'm get used to it, I should feel alright and normal again. As I once said it's all in the getting used to the situation back. Then I would feel alright. But anyway lets not feel sad, think positive! Always look on the bright side and think positively.

So how's my holiday this time round? Awesome I guess. Thankfully I'm someone who can sleep late, so... I'm thankful that I could carry out the pattern of have fun in the afternoon and study at night. The thing I don't like would just be my procrastination. But I felt great for my week 1, it was so productive. Week two was okay, week three was gone with the wind heh.

Well but generally I feel pretty much accomplished with my work. I told myself before I went back here that I won't be studying and I would really find it difficult to finish my work etc. But hmm yes I have not touched my Biochem and Funana datasheets, cause I think MST and report is more important no? But urgh, just found out the deadline for report was pushed by one week. Rawrr but hey I'm 80% done :D

Holidays and studies were never a good match I feel. But holidays and assignment... I can still accept. Especially when my holiday is spent here, cause here, I really don't feel like doing anything :P My cosy room, going out with my sis in the afternoon, eating out, going with my dad/sis and many more. But I feel proud that I've accomplished quite a few stuff! :)

Right, I guess that's all for today! Shall blog again once I reach Singapore again. Sigh, time flies really fast huh I used to dread how slow time flew in week one of holidays. Now I'm going back to Singapore once again. Nevermind I guess! Just shows how closer I get to Inner Mongolia OCIP and -that-. Alright ciao!

I'm not letting go. I won't :)

To the beach!

Hello guys! I just got back from a trip to the beach! I went yesterday's morning till today's afternoon. The beach was so freaking awesome :D We went to a new resort (not the usual one we used to go) and I really love it there. The beach is nicer, wider, bluer but... The wave is also bigger, so didn't get to swim as free as I could.

But nevertheless is good!

The resort is pretty secluded, and we got out own private beach or something like that (even though people can walk into the beach). But uhh a bit disappointed with the features of the resort. Like we have no TV or fridge in our rooms. And the bar closes at 9 PM. Noooo, which means no activity at night. So it can be pretty boring. We didn't know we don't have this and that so yeah. But it's alright, at least the beach is (Y).

I'll let picture talk! Easier to explain :)

The beach has this small huts where we can relax. They're goood

Sunset, day 1 :)

Awesome fish and chips for dinner!

Morning walk :)

I love this pic :D

But the waves can be huge :O

Went to Cipanas (Hot spring water, good for skin)

Went to Karang Hawu as well :D

Last but not least, the fish market to get... Seafood heh.

Alright that's all for today's post! Shall fill in with the details some other time okay :) In the mean while enjoy the photos! Ciao :D

Music, and sunset, the beach, and the wind. I've forgotten what life is in that moment.

Eclipse :O

Hello! Wow it's been such a long time since I blogged. It's been like... 4 days since I told myself "Okay I shall blog today". Get the joke? But anyway I'm not sure why I kept on not-blogging. Been busy with studies I guess? Or I just... Forget about it. But anyway here I am, so I shall blog! Many things happened, so I shall just blog some of the interesting ones heh.

I'm sure you guys have heard... There was an eclipse last night! And I'm soooo glad that I captured it with my own camera and documented it! Even though there were only 5 shots of the moon that I took with my camera. I'll post them here!

Tadaaah

Awesome eh, the watermark is cause I took it off my tumblr so yep. But I searched the net and say this is the longest eclipse in... 10 years? Is it? And it's a total lunar eclipse so it's pretty awesome. Kind of scary to see the whole sky turn dark suddenly while the moon was shining bright and nice. That's the awesome part of nature :)

Today was alright I guess. Did nothing much but went for a haircut though! Not sure why but my hair seems to grow at a... Lightning speed rate. Or is it just the aunty who didn't cut it short enough last time. But anyway, it'll be my last haircut before... -That- and I'm just so excited about it already! Hohoho

In the evening went with my mum to get some bread and... I guess that's all for the day!

But before that, I love to go up to the top of my room and lie down there to just listen to music. Beneath the sky, with the wind blowing softly. It's just so blissful. I guess I'm a true blue cancerian - Cancers love to have solitary moments to themselves. Just like me. I enjoy these solitary joy, I call it, to just have everything to myself. It's just so... Good.

I wish we can have like a patio on top of my room heh. Retractable chair that can extend so that I can put my leg there. And then maybe a small table beside it so that I can bring drinks there. Life is good if that can happen. Don't need those huge umbrella, I like the sun, it's good enough. Well when all of my favourite things come together - sun, blue sky, music and wind. It's just so blissful, no?

Talking about blue sky, I always lie down listening to the Mongolian song I posted before this post. I was thinking to myself... If I were to enjoy lying down here with music, watching the blue sky, I can't imagine lying down on the grass to enjoy the blue sky too in Mongolia! I mean that would even be better, and... Ah, just can't wait really.

Alright I guess that's all for today. ETC is waiting for me to be done. I really don't know how to study for that, just so many things to remember! Shall do a research on how to study for that hehe. See ya :)

Solitary joy, solitary pleasure

Emptiness

Right, the title is what I've been feeling within me for the past few days. Empty. I'm not sure why... I guess I'm stressed, but how! I mean I'm not stressing myself over studies etc, I'm kind of relaxed, but I don't know why, deep within me something is there, something is just not right. It's like poking my heart with a needle. And empty. Arggh I don't know how to explain that here.

But anyway that aside.

I'll be singing solo in my cousin's wedding tomorrow! Oh gosh, I'm so excited and nervous and gagagugu about that. I didn't practice much either... But I've been playing that song over and over again so it's in my head now. Shall practice again tonight, even though tomorrow is the real event. Need tons of luck seriously.

But anyway thankfully, the audience will be like mostly the family so it's not so "stranger" and public kind of performance right. But it's solo! That's the worst thing. I've sang with my friends, with people, but NOT ALONE heh.

Today was alright I guess, beside that empty feeling :/ In the afternoon went to search for my pants, yes I know it's damn rush but I don't have pants (oh dear). And for ties as well. Spent the afternoon at home, watching TV and lazing around. Gosh I love lazy Saturday afternoons. I really do. I love the fact that I don't do anything kind of thing.

In the evening I went to my grandma's house for a pre-wedding-dinner kind of thing. So the family of my cousin's wife came and we had dinner together etc. It's pretty crowded heh. But I got the chance to meet with my primary 4 teacher once again! We were talking about how time has changed between last time and now, both the children side and the parental and teaching.

But seriously, I gotta salute my grandma hoho. She prepared the food for today's dinner by herself and my aunts, within the past 3 days! At the age of 76, I think that's really... Wow. I mean the food was so delicious! And it was quite a lot too. And she prepared that! Wow really salute to her man. She's one strong grandma :D

The days have been pretty hot and sunny with little cloud. And it was finally raining today after... One week? I guess. It hasn't rained for like 5 days or so. Good to see some rain I guess, the weather will be cold and nice :)

Alright I guess that's all for today. I wanna finish up on epistasis tonight. If not, I won't finish it at all for the week. Oh dead. Okay see you!

Just be gone, empty feelings.
