Ta-tahs and turtles

Tomorrow (or later since it's 12am now) is my last band concert with HHSB as I'm leaving next year. It will be 1218 which is a play on '1218 Overture' (oh yay Tchaikovsky!) We are going to perform 2 songs, 'Jericho' and 'Mononoke Hime' and I get to wear black high heels whee~~
Due to my continued absences from band practices...I am sad to say that this is the one concert which I felt the most unprepared...normally I would've practiced the songs so much that they are practically imprinted permanently onto my retinas, but this time I found myself looking at the music score too much rather then paying attention to the conductor >< Oh well little practice is better than no practice at all I guess and I'm still looking forward to tomorrow X) Many happy memories and Kitto Katsu to everyone performing...that's Japanese for 'to certainly win' HAHA bet you didn't know that and THAT is why Kit Kat is so famous in Japan. (A little side note there~)

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

Anyhoo~

One day my mum hands me this packet of bread and says:'Time to feed the fishes, girl.' Let me explain this statement. There is a fish pond opposite my home. Actually it's just a pond but before we've even moved here people living in the neighbourhood have been dumping their unwanted fishes inside there. Not to mention unwanted mutant meat-eating turtles and unwanted koi. Yes, unwanted koi fish. Go figure.
The local habit was to feed them bread and since the fish were on perma-hungry mode you could always see them practically jump out of the water for a small morsel of bread. Sometimes if you were lucky, you could see a huge turtle snap up a small koi fish in its jaws and chomp it in half.
No joke, that.
My mum, being no.1 bread baker, always feeds her bread to those aquatic wonders. And being no.1 bread baker's daughter, I have the task of watching fishes scramble for bread and getting eaten by mutant turtles in the process. The fish, not yours truly.
So as I stood there idly throwing scraps of bread to the fishes, I threw a whole piece of bread on the bank. I'm not mocking the fish, those were for the small (non-mutant) turtles who could climb onto land. I waited but no eager turtle clambered up to eat up the bread and laff at all the other hungry fish. Instead, they were busy fighting with said other fishes for the bread inside the water.
Suddenly, one smart (and lucky) turtle spotted the bread somehow (maybe smelt it with its super turtle-senses) and started making it's way up the bank, hurrying like only a turtle could. It already had, as I noticed, a fairly large piece of bread in its jaws but it was measly compared to that huge chunk of wholegrain goodness lying just out of reach.
So that left the turtle in a dilemma. Enjoy the morsel that is already in its hungry mouth, or shamble forward to gobble up the bigger slice of bread. I stood there silently urging the turtle to just go forward a bit and grab that lovely bread, godammit.
Sadly, just as it was slowly deliberating, another turtle made its way up the bank and slowly moved toward the food.
In life, we often pause to hesitate whether we should put down what we have and reach for another, better thing. Sure it's better than what we are having now but most of us are scared of losing everything in the process. As we are stewing over this, someone else comes into the picture and grabs that golden opportunity.
In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, what would YOU rather be? A contented turtle with only a bit of bread in its mouth, or a even-more-contented turtle higher up the riverbank enjoying its bread mania, just because it put in the extra effort?
Food for thought! :D


P/S: I am really thinking too much into two turtles fighting over a piece of bread. That's what too much time on your hands does to you :) Toodles!

Story Of My Life So Far

Whew~

Archaeologists have dug away the sand to find! A mummified treasure! By the name of! My blog ...

Yes I admit it's been ages since I've last posted something here related to whining/whining about exams. And since the exams are gloriously over!! (I know that things can't end 'gloriously' but bear with me here...) Since exams are deliciously over...it's time to throw away everything that you have learnt and mush your brains up nicely during the holidays.

So... my life so far.

As of next year, I won't be continuing my studies in HH anymore...Instead I'll be studying in a new school far far away from my comfort zone of 3 years. Well, I'm not going to lie, it sucks. Not the new school, it's the changing that sucks. After finally settling in and meeting fantastic friends, not to mention starting to understand minds of lalamuis...resident biatches etc etc...and also preparing for senior year where you can (almost) lord over all the juniors...

I have to uproot my ancient. (Little Warcraft thingie)

In other words I am a person who hates change. I mean, changing your entire wardrobe is fine by me but changing schools...argh. Goodbye friends, goodbye band, goodbye school. Sure there's fb and all but what about the joy of seeing/annoying your friends in one big class?

What about forgetting all your differences and playing music with people who have the same interest? (New school does not, repeat NOT have band *SNIFF*)
What about entering random sport competitions or activities that you know you're gonna fail but still enter for the fun of it?

When my mum announced this nugget of news I went into rant mode for a long time. But the inevitable still happens...and I guess I just have to accept it.
So my last trip with J3M was the graduation trip 21~23rd November...We played, we laughed, we cried, we had cool experiences. And I have to admit, the trip and the coming separation has brought me closer to a certain friend :) Isn't it frustrating, that just when you find a special friend, someone who you can talk to and to have fun with, and you have to leave? But still, sometimes it's not how long you know somebody, it's how you treasure the times that you spend together. I'm just glad that I could find you in time.

But it still hurts to leave you :(
Sobs to the max~!

After the trip I retreated into a general state of emo-ness, that is listening to the same emo song over and over and over again, hiding away in msn, only talking to teddy and fish XD, and self pity all around… But one can’t mope forever, and or course the wise words of teddy: ‘Stop being emo and stop hiding’ o_0
Yes, changes happen. And whether we like it or not, we have to accept it. Some may be for better, some may be for worse. No matter how much we run or hide, we still have to face it some way or another.

So Yep, ladies and gentlemen, friends and foes, THAT was a very summarized Story Of My Life So Far. I hope everyone enjoyed sifting through my ramblings. Take care and see you at the next post =)

Look at the beautifully white exam paperz! They are so pure and blank....waiting for you to vomit blood all over them....

2:00 AM- Went to bed. Tossed and turned. Got up. Moved alarm clock. Checked handphone. Went back to sleep. Woke up. Moved alarm clock again. Kept hearing ticking noises. Moved alarm clock as far away as possible. Moved it back in fear of not being able to hear it later. Checked phone. Went back to sleep. Woke up. Tried to go through some exam things. Realized that I had forgotten 85% of stuff memorized. Despaired. Checked phone. Moved alarm clock. Went back to sleep.

EXAM STRESS.

Not for the unprepared.

ELATION!! mostly :D

IT EES THE END OF TRIALZZ!

Trials, or trails as I keep misspelling it...You'd think that after 3 days of hardcore, gruelling exams, I would be able to spell that word properly...

Not a chance. Trails :S

Anyways...the exams went as expected...except for History and Science, where:

a) you could hear an audible 'walao-eh!' when everyone flipped open their papers.
b) everyone flopped on their desk and fell asleep 10 minutes into the exams.
c) you could hear your classmates saying:'hey I color all C you color all D arh...'

But LALALA! Trials are finally over and I can finally enjoy the holidays ;)
*that also explains the looong blogging hiatus. Many Thanks to the remaining readers that I have...lots of luv <3

But! (there is always a 'but' :X )
Trials are just the start of a long and arduous journey called san lian kao...which means triple exams for the peoples who do not understand Chinese, or are dyslexic and therefore can't read hanyu pinyin, or just aren't bothered to make the connection between hanyupinyin and the beautiful language that is Chinese and......

I'll finish that thought later. Or not.

Anyhoo, triple exams are the 3 major exams that J3 students have to face. And so,
STUDYING IS REQUIRED.
MUCH OF IT.
THERE WILL BE SO MUCH NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE-ING THAT AN ABSENCE OF BREATHING ORGANS MAY BE NOTED.

ETC ETC.

But then again, it's all part&parcel of growing up I guess.

So long and see you all at the other side.


=) cheers+sayonara

Finding Solace in SMS-es and vittles~

Gosh...Recently mees been getting some 'get off your butt and update your blog please so I can read it' commands from a certain person and methinks that me should.

aishk~ Sometimes you just have a mountain-load of things to say, but somehow or rather you just can't find the words to express them.

But I'm going to try anyways. :)

A few sunrises and sunsets ago, the annual band committee-members-changing-meeting or something like that was held. The point of the meeting was obviously to change committee members.

W-E-L-L...what I really felt like was like an outsider. Even those alumni probably felt more at home than I did. Why? I can't really say the reason. Or reasons. I guess it's because my days in the band are seriously numbered. Or the stress of exams. Or normal teenage stuff. Or maybe all of the above. Or maybe I'm schizophrenic and I'm actually a dictator plotting to take over the world.

I'm sorry, if I can't blend in with you guys. I tried, but I guess I'm tasting failure.
To my junior students. I'm sorry if I'm not that great as you guys expected. Practice harder and you can terrorize your own juniors someday.
To everyone else. I'm sorry if i think that you don't understand me, and it's fair to say that I don't understand you all either.

Which reminds me of what a senior said to me.
'It's just a phrase,'
and following that,
'it gets worst when you hit senior.'
......prediction? Thanks Oh Optimistic One.

Er...yep. I guess that's what I'm feeling at the moment. A weak attempt to put it into words...But sometimes less is more. :)



heh heh...really emo-fied blog update..hope those rainy days pass soon...

and I can see my sunny skies again.

That's all folks, happy reading :D

tHE LitTle tHinGs~ or My OLD blog title~

YESTERDAY

was the combined concert featuring the lovely HHSB, SMKSK (SB) and ShengZhen High School Orchestral Band.It was held in Putrajaya Seri Cempaka Music Hall and it resembled a spaceship hanging from the ceiling.

forgive me if I got anything wrong because I'm typing from memory.

So....yup yesterday was THE concert, the supposedly 决定我们有没有去年底交流-one. Got pulled out of class at the lovely time of 3:20pm...finally left HH at the beautiful time of 4pm...reached there at the fanatical time of 5:30pm...being the only band late, it really left a good impression, but as the saying goes 'better late then not being there at all'.

Back to the real topic at hand,

According to many people, IE our seniors and ex-bandmates...the performance sucked. The actual word used was [disappointing]. It was in a way I suppose. I for one thought I did my best, but it seems like it wasn't good enough. What can I say, more practice is needed then.-->practice is my 'words' then ;)

Anyway...what I learned yesterday is sometimes the little things are actually better and more worth appreciating. Sometimes they are the elements that make it more fun and memorable.

I'm talking about~ (major Tik Tok vibe o_0)

-eating chocolate in the dark
-laughing with friends on the bus
-snapping stupid photos of people (and sometimes ourselves)
-rushing through our dinner but still having time to poke fun at each other
-helping each other out
-being pitch perfect on the first try :3
-giving free 辅导 to people who [can't think open]...psychology anyone?
-being the only ones awake on the late night bus ride
-getting blinded by the camera flash on the late night bus ride = =
-commenting on other bands' performance during the concert
-arriving in school at 12:30am, being the earliest students in history
...and so much more

Sure the concert may have sucked, but the little things were AWESOME :)

On a not so happy note, really lost my respect for a certain band senior yesterday night, due to the severe childishness and immature-ness (yes I am repeating myself) displayed on arrival. Sure, we are all tired and stuff, but SOME of us still need to show a minuscule slice of 形象.
(coming from me, this is GOLD = =)
Well.........can't stop people from making a fool of themselves I suppose.

and of course, after all the drama, it's back to school on 4~5 hours of sleep and 9 hours of amped up-ness.
Needless to say, the morning was crap...lol
but thank goodness bprac was canceled I suppose.
Which reminds me,
J3M girls got 3rd place in bkb
~muax

Signing off in appreciation of the little things...:)

Upcoming Events....

Basketball practice!


YX,XS,WC,WY,JE,YQ,JY,KS,LX,KM,ZH and I went to Southern Park to play the lovely sport of BKB. We had fun practicing. Hope we can face Saturday's competition X)
Am debating whether I should skip band tomorrow to cheer on the boys of J3M....=\ None of them showed up today except KS....so I guess they're pretty confident....lol



And on Friday....(not only is it the birthday of Ms. Joyce)...it's also the school's.....birthday....
Just kidding, most people will call it the school's anniversary...lol...and that means more performances from the band! (cheer....= =)

And to spice things up!

J3M!

is entering!

the!

student+teacher choir competition! (Cheer~~)

haha.....a grand total of less than 20 boys and girls + one class teacher are gonna SING~

Wish J3M choir all the best ! XOXO~

and hopefully after all that....back to studying like normal students... X)

Not as bad as I thought

Today was NABAIT. [refer to title for those clueless ones]

Choral Speaking-meh.  Did better than practices so I guess it's cool =)

Rehersal-even more meh.  Thank goodness I went for CS first.  Sorry band, but it's true.

My delightful class teacher took the class meeting today as a wonderfully fine opportunity to inform us about our grades!! [huge gasp]

I mean, we are all so excited to hear about them!!  Tell us teacher please please do!  And on Saturday we'll just drag our parents along and act suprised!  And if our grades suck we'll just whine whine whine about it!  

.....wait for a moment while I wipe up all the sarcasm.

OK as mentioned above, what I hate the most is the teacher gong-bu-ing (announcing) the averages and positions of the students.....actually I do understand that you have to know it sooner or later...yada yada yada...and I'm cool with that.....it's just that certain individuals treat it as a form of entertainment and play games with said individuals' apprentices and overall treat the entire bleeping thing as a great big joke!! 

These are the individuals who are supposed to guide us to our future?

I'll leave the answer to you guys. =)

Um....I supposed what really made me 'not-in-the-best-of-moods' today was because of:

Meeting 'piss-worthy' people

                  and

Meeting people who behave like they are piss worthy

--A Better Tomorrow. = =

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

Just when you thought everything was going to go back to normal.....

The week starts off with a bang.  You know the feeling sometimes when you wake up and suddenly you feel like doing something really different?  Like wearing a new watch, lacing up your shoelaces in a weird way, or even cutting your hair with gardening shears so you'll have a funky new hairstyle.....Anyways that feeling came to me today and I spent 5 minutes of valuable hair-tying time trying to fix a broken watch....LOL...and other series of fortunate events which ended with me eating Snyder's of Hanover for breakfast....0_0

Well it looked like a normal, wacky day in the life of a wacky person...but as I learned last year:

LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING

Today was fraught with a shower of STRESSFULL activity clashes : J3 Choral Speaking Preliminary  VS  S3 coming-of-age ceremony rehersal.

and SYMPTOMS of a popular disease called 'lack of sleep' == : tired tired tired tired tired

and general moodiness....lol

in the middle of piano class I felt this sharp sudden pain in my right arm....o_0....suspect it's from all the books....lol....hand muscles became 'tofu' after the weekend  =)

*As seen clearly above, today....sucked.  On the bright side I can say it was fraught(lol keep using that word) with many activities...

That much being said, I hereby resolve to (TRY) and sleep earlier.....hahahaha....=D

You Can Run, But You Can Never Hide...

Today is

THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!           ~~(AFTER SEMESTER HOLIDAYS!!!)

Finally managed to get some sleep at the beautiful time of 3:00 AM.  Yeap, I'm excited about school reopening, bite me =D

Today I woke up and saw,

all the flowers dead,

But the grass was still alive.

21/06/2010        615 AM

in my school uniform and barely awake

How's that for haikus? hahaha.... new pastime of mine  =D

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

Anyways, many important exams are coming up soon so whether I like it or not, I need to study!

Recently an Amanda Palmer song has been going around in my head.  It's called

Runs In The Family
Amanda Palmer

My friend has problems with winter and autumn they give him prescriptions they shine bright lights on him
They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it.
My friend has blight, he gets shakes in the night and they say that there's no way that they could have caught it in
Time takes his toll on him it is traditional, it is inherited predispositional
All day I've been wondering what is inside of me who can I blame for it?

I say it runs in the family this famine that carries me to such great lengths, to open my legs up to anyone who'll have me
It runs in the family I come by it honestly do what you want 'cause who knows it might fill me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Fill me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up

My friend's depressed she's a wreck she's a mess they've done all sorts of tests and they guess it has something to do with her grandmother's grandfather's grandmother civil war soldiers who badly infected her
My friend has maladies, rickets, and allergies that she dates back to the 17th century
Somehow she manages - in her misery - strips in the city and shares all her best tricks with
Me? Well I'm well. Well I mean I'm in hell. Well, I still have my health
(At least that's what they tell me)
If wellness is this what in hells name is sickness?
But business is business and business runs in the family

We tend to bruise easily bad in the blood I'm telling you 'cause I just want you to know me - know me and my family we're wonderful folks, but don't get too close to me 'cause you might knock me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Knock me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up

Mary have mercy now look what I've done but don't blame me because I can't tell where I come from and
Running is something that we've always done well and mostly I can't even tell what I'm running from
I run from their pity, from responsibility, run from the country, and run from the city
I can run from the law, I can run from myself, I can run for my life, I can run into debt
I can run from it all, I can run 'til I'm gone, I can run for the office, and run from the cause
I can run using every last ounce of energy
I cannot, I cannot, I cannot

Run from my family they're hiding inside of me
Corpses on ice
Come in if you like but just don't tell
My family they'd never forgive me, they'd say that I'm crazy but they would say anything if it would
Shut me up
Shut me up
Shut me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Shut me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up
Me up

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

The thing about Amanda Palmer's songs is that you need to think behind the lyrics, there's another meaning....

The purple part is my favourite part of the song, to me, it's not just talking about running away from your family, more like saying that you always try to run, but in the end, you can never escape.

We all have something we want to run away from.....

An Interesting Birthday Present

On 10/06/2010 at approximately 5:30pm, I received a really unusual birthday present from my wacky [tf]...=)

It looks like a bolster....but according to him, you must be really careful as it is reaaaally fragile....o_O

A Closer Look......

CJ---> thats me haha....it even comes with instructions...'hug it carefully it has something sharp'.....@@

After taking about 5 minutes to open it.....the 'wrapping cloth' was held together by many stapler bullets....like I said....wacky tf.....=)

OMG Elephants!

and a lot of cotton......!

Look at the amount of cotton! And stapler bullets....LOL

All lined up

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

Apparently these elephants came from Thailand....he got them on his last trip there....

Thank you very very much for getting me such a cute present in very unusual packaging,

I really like it!

=)

TC @ 2 days

Band camp is pretty much finished (for me), here's what happened so far......

1st day: Solo and duet were not eliminated (shock and horror) but it wasn't really good either.
Came back at 1130pm.  Thanks to ZT and JH for keeping me company =)

2nd day: Concert day.  

Erm...Well today's the day where I had to perform my solo at the  ensemble concert.  Due to technical difficulties, the piano accompaniment CD couldn't be played, resulting me to seek the help of DORCAS! the master pianist....lol....she sight-read the entired piece and we only praticed about 5 times in total....this is called hugging the leg of  Buddha I suppose.....XD

When show-time came, I was surprisingly calm.....compared to the auditions.....at least my legs weren't shaking ><....but the 'butterflies in the stomach' thing....that's kinda true....   

Thankfully I managed to get all the high G s....But I wasn't really pleased with it, (actually I don't think anyone in the audience was....sorry guys....) 

Bottom line is: I need more practice!

I resolve ( don't see me using that word much, haha) to practice harder in the future, and more importantly, to START practicing earlier...XD

Like what  教练 said...it's not just the notes, it's also your  表演神态 (performance air? lol) and that takes years of experience to accumulate.....and of course, the most important thing is that you do your best! =)

What does not destroy me, makes me stronger--Friedrich Nietzsche

Another variation is : Whatever that does not kill me, only makes me stronger.  Yep, that's sort of my motto these days, although it sounds kinda morbid, but  it tells us that we should learn from our mistakes.....at least that's what I choose to believe ^^ but hey, we choose our own mottos, right?

 

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

When you are nervous, strange things happen.  During the concert, when I was waiting for my turn, the flutes seemed to take a reaaally long time.  What was strange was I suddenly felt very tired and starting yawning non-stop.  Well, anything's better than throwing up or fainting....haha...

Footnote: My outfit was a success! haha....HM said I was her idol lol...
FN: Many thanks to the lovely DORCAS! for helping me out with the piano accompaniment
     : And also to everyone who encouraged me...couldn't have done it without you guys....muax~
     : High heels are great and all, but they really play no part in running or climbing up stairs...= =
       Legs hurt like crazy!! @@

Signing off now~
     

Jazz

Duke Ellington was a great composer, arranger, pianist and other great things.  He composed many jazz pieces which is the foundation of jazz today.

Today we went to see a jazz tribute to Duke Ellington at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas.

Which means--> Dressing up

Dressing up means I have to wear a dress, which is something I haven't done in years, stockings and high heels.

Here's a few things I found out:

1) Some (most) dresses restrict movement of the legs, resulting one to be unable to stride, run, kick, jump over drains, and get into cars.  This resulted in 2 awkward moments which I had to sit on the edge of the car seat and literally lie into the car.  Smooth. 

2) Always make sure your stockings cover up your FEET if you are wearing high heels.  Not like mine which only covered 1/2 of my foot and leaving my heel bared.  When high heels came on it looked like.....well like my stockings had a huge hole at my heel.  Which is a big no-no.  And it's good to find this out when you are still in the house, with changeable stockings, instead of in the car 2 km from home, which means you are pretty much screwed.

3)NEVER let it show on your face that your heels are KILLING you.  I'm pleased to say that I have learnt this particular rule from sis & mum and I didn't commit said crime.  Due to point 2) I had bare feet in my high heels instead of stockinged feet ( I rolled up the ends of the stockings to prevent a major fashion fax paus >< )and the entire night was just the walk of hell...But as the saying goes, women suffer to be beautiful! =)

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

Anyways...

The jazz quartet consisted of a pianist, trombonist,drummer and bassist.  There were a few gust performers : 2 alto saxophones, a female vocalist, and a tuba.

Overall it was a great performance...if you enjoy jazz =)

The show started at 6:30pm and ended at 8pm.  The song titles I remembered were: Sophisticated Lady, Cocktail, In a Sentimental Mood,  Boy Meets Tuba, and Squeeze Me, But Please Don't Tease Me, (yes, that IS a song title! XD)

The songs were nice and the musicians were brilliant, I really enjoyed myself at the show =)

Hope there will be more jazz performances soon! =D

 

All dressed up: see my unstockinged feet? lol

 

Another random shot  =)

 

managed to get one shot of the interior before they told me to put the camera away...rules were made to be broken....haha...

 

Love is in the air~

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

Getting ready for torture camp...haha

Getting up at 5am and coming home at 11pm....happy days are here again.... 

Phyun

YES! I have changed my mouthpiece to the custom one--smaller mouthpiece with a gold ring around it. This mouthpiece is supposedly meant for high notes. And it works! 3 times out of 4 actually >< but it's better than nothing at all =)

During the afternoon, I skipped practice to meet up with RH,WQ,KS and TS for our physics experiment thingy. Had to wait for 1 hour cuz KS woke up at 1 pm...meeting time was 1 pm....'nuff said. = =

We had a total of 4 experiments to do...

1) Newton's 1st law: pulling a tablecloth and leaving the things on it intact 
* What we found out: things can't be too tall or too light or everythings going to end up on the floor...my poor Stephen King....='(

2) Bouyancy: adding salt to water will make an egg float up 
* What we found out: the person who is supposed to boil the eggs should never oversleep and boil 5 eggs in the matter of a few minutes = = 

3) Putting a burning match at the bottom of a glass jar with an egg stuck in the bottle mouth: Egg will fall inside bottle 
* What we found out: person who woke up late has to force his sister to finish a jar of mayonnaise 1st = = 

4) Sound travel: a string through 2 cups 
* What we found out: this is surprisingly fun! ^^ 
KS: halo halo? TS arh? 
TS: halo halo? KS arh? 
KS: = = 不要重复我讲的话。 
*a while later* 
KS: halo halo? TS arh? 
TS: halo halo? KS arh? 


lolz 


Well, the experiments were pretty much 1/2 failures...and KS and I ended up finishing all the eggs because none of them were actually cooked = = 

But hey, you can't have successes without failures, right? =) 

After that, we were high-ing around playing with my bubble sword when....

Damn KS shot a rubber band into my eye!!

All I remembered was trying to pop a bubble with a stupid grin on my face, then...

BOOM! explosive pain! then....

WQ: 哇，你的眼睛每次都中的噢.... (refering to a tragic incident in J1 = =) then...

My condition then: really wanting to burst out in tears, but holding it in for the sake of my dignity ><

But tears of pain, that's a different story.

Anyway, someone asks the question that I hate most == 

'痛啊?'

Gee, I don't know. It's only my sclera reddening and causing me extreme pain everytime I blink my eye, gee, if that's not pain, I don't know what is. = = Gosh, of course it doesn't hurt! just like getting a pair of scissors stabbed into your leg doesnt hurt at all! 

Sarcasm aside....Nothing really serious happened, I guess, except for a patch of red at my eye.....Thanks alot, KS, I owe you one.= =

So that's pretty much how physics day went... we ended pretty early so KS and I chatted and made really digusting stuff with the leftover eggs....lol

^^

The uncanny thing was, he was wearing the shirt with the same pattern as mine, only upside down...=) ^^

Phyun with Physics!

I am seriously annoyed

with the 'we' 

there is no more 'we' = =

it's more like 'you' and 'the rest of us'

move on with your life for god's sake

stop living in the past

and stop acting like you are a great help.

I appreciate your enthusiasm

but it is not needed here.

That weird feeling about you...

Haha...the title pretty much sums up my day... (>_')

After piano this morning it was back to school again to practice my solo...I only started at saturday, presentation is needed this coming friday, so I'm pretty much screwed.

Anyways, mum decided to take me to buy some clothes at this boutique

ZOMG the people there were aggresive to the max!  They were practically throwing clothes at you...and they were quite rude too...= = 

And so I arrived at school pretty late...haha....but anything goes when you are SHOPPING  =)

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

GOD!  I know I shouldn't keep saying that but GOD!

Really panicking about the solo now...especially because I keep failing to reach high G...not  a problem except it appears only about FOUR TIMES!!!  x_X

Hope for the best, expect the worst

=)

Another year older...but NOT wiser XD

So....as you can see from the title (unless you missed it or something, then I suggest you scroll up)..... Today is the birthday of moi~

Earliest wish goes to the wonderful Zuo Haan at 00:02    =)

Many thanks to everyone for their thougthful wishes!

and also to M&D&J for the presents and cake XD (and alcohol too, I may add...muahahaha)

Well I'm older now....eh.....not really sure what comes next...hahaha

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

On another note, (SO...   XD) (does anyone get this? = =)

Today was the second day of 8独中.....for people who don't understand, it's a bunch of schools gathered around for some sports...and being in the band....

We had to walk around the track and look smart =)

and when the walk-around-the-track [how's that for compound nouns X) ] was finished, we had to move the the patch of padang at the centre...In our band uniforms and hats and the wonderfully BLAZING sun, it was freaking hot as usual, and people were fainting left right and centre....I was cursing John Philip Sousa (I'm joking, I love JP Sousa...) AND then I lifted my instrument up.

NOTE TO SELF: NEVER NEVER NEVER (EVER) put your hand back into a French Horn immediately after it's been exposed to BLAZING sunlight!

THE RESULT: me shrieking in shocked pain-ness and shaking my hand and looking like an idiot  = =

the other 'siasoi' thing was: my hat was the most screwed up in the band today due to my hair...so being weird I took off the strap and put the hat back on.  As I tilted my head up a little, FWOOSH! The hat moved down, pulling my neck, making my bend my knees and tilt over. ==

IF I had fallen down then it would've been more embarrassing but thank the gods I didn't....phew!  But I was still noticed by this guy in our school who works in the library [Thanx guy! =)] 

He came over and asked me :' 你要晕了啊？ '

and I was like :' 不是...我的帽子掉了...'

and he was like 'booom!'----> 炸到, not that he exploded or something  = =

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

Getting ready for a really hectic week~ Cheers!

=)

this is just...random...untitled

Why am I always the one who has to keep her cool no matter what?

Am I not allowed to suddenly lash out and go absoulutely ZOMG on everyone?

I'm just supposed to bite my toungue and let everyone step on me?

I don't think so.

Bring it on, Muthafuckas.

OK as mentioned above, I am feeling really !beh song! right now...

No it's not just because of NIE and irresponsible credit-takers preventing me from studying physics.

No it's not just because of certain hypocrites whining on about their lives and treading on other people's problems.

No it's every other bleeping thing!!

Gods   It's like I'm feeling what? one week? one month  's  worth of anger building up inside me.  Just that sometimes...seeing people walking around and thinking they are the ice in ice-cream makes me just want to beat them up.   Ok I can't really do that but....

I remember the words of the seniors : ^^the friends that last with you the longest are the friends you make in band^^

.....

Yeah sure.

Ran out of steam now.....

What a wonderful world....

哭笑不得

I wanted to blog about this for a very very long time, but being the busy (or rather lazy) person that I am.....

WEll anyways

I am currently stuck in a state of can't laugh can't cry...or 哭笑不得 for all those people out there who understand chinese.

Happy with our friendship

But sad because we're just friends

It's better to be friends and stay together, than to be lovers who risk the possibility of breaking apart.

But sometimes I just can't stop wishing...

-can't laugh can't cry-

So Recently....

So it's exam time now...and like all other students I'm studying  =)

Hope to get better grades this time, compared to my frucky (its freaking+sucky don't get me wrong) grades at the middle of the semester.

I'm really into studying and all, yeah I'm not joking studying is fun! (nerd haha)

BUT MY BRAIN HAS OTHER PLANS

kakaka

for example: obssessing over a certain *ahem ahem* someone in.......somewhere  

haha!  One of the fantastic good sides is I get to see him daily; The bad side is: I get to see him daily = =

kekekekeke 

[incapable of typing anything really useful except onomatopoeic words....kekeke]

*When the moonlight fades and twilight approaches, that's when I'll see you again*

nice eh? Thought of this during BM exam....haha....got to finish those 40 minutes somehow~  =)

It's not really that romantic actually...school starts at about 7:30am and I leave around 6:30......but hey thats twilight for me =D ....and that's when I get to see him again....

XD

My Friend

I may not stop you from falling, but I can try to stop you from going over.

I may not stop you from losing hope, but I can try to give you reasons to be happy.

当初是什么使到我们成为朋友？

是真正想要有这份友情，还是为了别的原因？

当我心情最低落的时候，你觉得我的问题不重要。我有这样对你吗？

你说过很多伤到我的心的话，你有察觉过吗？

我所面对着的困难，你懂吗？

当你有难的时候，我会尽量去帮你。你会这样对我吗？

当我有福的时候，我会第一个与你分享。你有这样对过我吗？

当你向我诉苦的时候，虽然我帮你解决不了，但我会尽量去听，明白。当我向你诉苦的时候，你有这样做吗？

你，了解我吗？

也许你已经付出了你的最多，是我要求太多了。

或许我在欺骗我自己，其实你是个很自私的人。

My friend, will you be there for me when I am down?

Will you help me up when I fall?

Do you even understand me at all?

I treat you as my best friend, do you do the same?

不管以后怎么样，

不晓得你会不会看到这份留言，你知不知道这个部落格的存在，

如果我们不再是朋友了，

我会记得

我们曾经，现在 所拥有的美好回忆

友情。

Be The One

You say it's not what you do,
It's what you're thinking of
Well I think its just an excuse,
It's what you put across

'Cos I don't wanna be the one,
Only overjoyed
I don't wanna be the one,
Making all the noise
Yeah, I don't wanna be the one

So make sure you're thinking it through,
You've let me down again
Offer me something I know you really meant

'Cos I don't wanna be the one,
Only overjoyed
I don't wanna be the one,
Making all the noise
Yeah, I don't wanna be the one, hey

What you gonna offer now?

I don't wanna be the one,
Only overjoyed
I don't wanna be the one,
Making all the noise
Yeah, I don't wanna be the one, hey

What you gonna offer now?

What you gonna offer now?

This was not my idea,
Don't you keep me waiting

What you gonna offer now?

**Be The One--The Ting Tings

最近咧。。。常常会去听这首歌。。。

为什么呢？

哈哈  当然是因为某某某某人的某某事情啦~

歌词的意思应该很清楚吧。。。哈哈   =)

Schools are not just for studying in anymore......

最近，初三礼发生了很多事。以前的我，会为此感到很烦恼很烦恼，不过现在只是麻木。

不是我不想理大家，我真的很担心，只是我很。。。。显。

答案只是那一个字：显

正在腐败的人，你们继续腐败下去吧。

生气的人，别再为无聊的事情气坏自己，很不值得。

搞事的人，毕业之前别搞那么多事情吧。你们是来学校读书的。

Class of J3M, we are called a 'class' for a reason.  

We're not called :' a random bunch of strangers thrown together in the same [hot] room for no apparent reason'  ok?

大家加油啦~

Part 2

Part 2: 

There are some people you meet at a certain time in your life

Who are best left forgotten = =

YEP I'm talking about a certain 'lets treat me like dirt cuz I'm so innocent [haha] and trusting to people'...-person

我曾经为你流泪，为我们失去的友谊伤心。

现在我发现了，

没有你，我觉得更加幸福。

没有你，我获得自由。

没有你，我活得更开心。

I'm not missing you

1st post in a very very long time....and it's emo....sort of....and this is the longest title I had ever written by the way just read the post already

Well I've taken a long hiatus from blogging

And I've come back

To post more emo stuff!

Aren't my scarce blog-readers jumping for joy.

So I've officially started J3 (old news actually look at the date o_O), the so-called exam year where I have to sit 3 huge-larger-than-Big-Macs-exams that will decide my future so on and so forth bla bla bla

Bottom Line: Work Hard!  

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

im baack

Well it's been a long time since the last blog post, I'm posting this so visitors won't get an emo message smack in the eyes when they visit  keke :D

My life since 2010 started has been pretty much normal.....finally got things back on track with a certain 'someone' ( '_^) ...and....FISH!  3 guppies and a fat, fat goldfish!

Ciao~

Remember

Can you meet me half way

Right at the borderline

That's where I'm gonna wait, for you

I'll be lookin' out, night n'day

Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay

Do you know where the borderline is?

~雨后的晴天~

2009年让我学到了很多东西...有些人，是不能花太多心思的，最后伤得最重的可能是自己。

雨后的晴天

我等了很久

乌云密布

暗淡

冷落

的心情

乌云中的一丝阳光

隐隐约约的

可是我笑了

因为我知道有它(他)(她)的存在

Why do all the weird things happen when I'm in the shower

Today I decided to brush my teeth throughly.

Not that I don't practice this normally, I do, it's just that I thought of trying out the 'brushing for 3 mins' thing that my dentist always nags about.

so....brush brush brush 

behind the teeth, the gums, whatever

before I knew it, the sink was covered in blood

that's what you get for listening to the dentist
