okay. here's like an update on the first week of school as a final year student.
it's like.. whoaaa..
i've been so overwhelmed by the events and classes and projects and all.
and a concert. SAF Central Band: James Barnes.
WOOHOO. Fantasy Variations was excellent! and Phoenix was nice too. Especially the Daydream movement. i loved it.. i somehow felt dreamy too. i didnt realise it was the movement while they were playing. but it was excellent. Afterall, it's James Barnes conducting his own music. so i guess there's all the originality in whatever the players played.
for ONE, i was
COMPLETELY blown off by ZhongQing's playing. it was like WHOAAAAAAAA. and i cant describe it with a better word! well. of course i meant WHOAAAA on a positive note, without doubt. Aik Kee's solo was like WHOAAAAAA too. haha.
okay.. before i blabber on about the concert, i just have to tell the world that acting and directing is like a whole lot of fun!! and i really really enjoyed the course on thursday so much. i feel so bad for not attendin media law tutorial. but i was in school!! just that i had to rest cos i was feeling giddy after the long bus ride and my head seemed jammed. lol. okay. acting and directing was like so different from what i expected. i knew that i was really conscious of myself. i expected that i would be too conscious.. but surprisingly.. i managed to feel the part. i didnt laugh or smile, at least! haha. okay i look forward to acting and directing.. really!!
next, print journ is exciting. I'm with tribune. and i guess i'd really much rather work with Tribune. for one, i notice that my newswriting grade was a lot better than my feature writing. i dont have a flare for writing flowery language and using loads of adjectives. i like my language simple and understandable. i think many people know that. i have to admit though, my vocabulary list isnt long. or maybe not up to standard. that's what i feel. haha. but it's okay. everyday i learn new things! esp with the band pple, where i learn more hokkien and mandarin and weird languages. =D "unglam" as it sounds to some people, i actually enjoy it!
writing for tribune is going to take up a bulk of my time this week. and i dont think i'd be able to get excused from class on 10th. tho there is an excuse letter. dont ask me why. i'm quite excited to write for tribune.. cos i'm covering the cca - clubs and societies beat. i've been trying to find out what sorta scoops i can get. i hope i have one already.. hahaha.. so Print journ class on friday was fun..
after class i went to the clubhouse, after which i proceeded to holland V to meet merrill and Ferene. i like ferene. she's sweeeet. =D
the journey on the bus was crappy. the journey on merrill's car was crappy. during the concert.. the crappy person beside me was crappy. when going home, the crappy person beside me was crappy again. lol. but it's always so much fun.. every time i'm with that crappy person, he makes me feel all crappy and we'd just try to beat each other at being crappy. like how crappy is that?? we laugh at the crappiest jokes, and when we dont even need to talk to know what each other is laughing at, that's the ultimate funny. i mean it really happened quite a number of times, till it got merrill REALLY puzzled. he was prolly thinking we were being kids la.. but it was so funny la what we were laughing at. hahahaha.. eh crappy person if u happen to read this entry.. i think you should know what i'm talking abt. haha the "slang" hahahahahahahaha
ahhh crap. i'm laughing to myself again... it's all your fault!!
hmmm. the past two days were funny. me, peee, shin, trombonists.
LAUGHING WAR. it was really rather
SCARY the way we laughed. peee had to keep walking out. we all had tummyaches. and ya. darryl HOR didnt know that we were laughing at him. (= smart dude.
Stepping Stone. was. fun. fun. fun.
a lot of pple there.. that's where i met pple i admire. like.. Yang. cool dude. much older than me kinda thing. interesting to meet figures like these. i hope to see more of him in church.. and his brother and sister-in-law. cooool pple. well i only mentioned yang cos i only spoke to him. he was the only candid one who made the effort to introduce himself. that's good. and no i'm not shy.. not after i warm up, that is. and if we can clique. i dont see a need to be shy. i think Yang knows how "unshy" i am by now. haha. mom's friends should know too. i think it was a pleasure meeting all these adults.. i can get a lot of advice from these contacts man. on what i can do after i graduate as well.
okay. i'm sleepy.. i'll continue. when i have the time. from tmr onwards. it's gonna be hectic. and i had to lose my ezlink card at such a time.. i'm damn pissed off.

isnt it weird how when you actually think you're starting get to know some pple, and u realise how really really superficial and fake they are?
i really hate it to be treating people with genuine care and find out how plastic their "care" towards you is. indeed sickening.
good with ur stuff, highly looked upon? good for you. i really was genuinely happy for you. u prolly thought i was jealous inside. whatever. i dont feel jealous because i now thank God i have less to do and struggle with. while u have to do stuff i'm really sure you can cope with. no doubt. but i dont see a need for you to behave in this manner. it's more disgusting than showing off and just telling pple how glad u are that u got it. really.
-i just had to add it in. cos i finally found the two perfect words so decribe this behaviour-
and they are:
FAKE MODESTY.

aiya. to play harry potter or not to play?
if we dont play, it'd be wasting all our effort training up for the horn choir.
then again. it's tough. the high notes even i cant handle within these few weeks unless i train vigorously. but do u think i can? no. time wont allow that. school's restarting. I'm in the third and final year of my poly education and possibly the final year of my whole life's official full-time education.
-what a bother-
anyway, i'll be taking 2 IS modules, one enrichment (jap), media law, advert (cos i retook medisoc in first year) and 3 electives: acting n directing, adv radio, print journ.
i'd have to deal with scary pple. but all should be worth while i guess.
how, tell me how, with so many modules to take, can i do loads of practice for PnC??
thank God tho, the band sounds a lot better. but today's prac was a complete mess.

i went out today.. and i think i reallllly enjoyed myself this time. but it's a really weird feeling i guess. i went with daddy first to immigration centre. he wanted to make passport. i was gonna meet a friend at bugis. quite near right. so i followed daddy first. when i reached there i realised that i should just make my ic.. so i did. so my friend, who was initially late had to come to immigration centre to wait for me instead. lol quite funny. super know how to suan pple.
i paid only 60 bucks for my ic. cos i explained to the lady that i think it got stolen cos i checked for my wallet, i really did. but it wasnt there.. so should be stolen ba. so the lady gave me a 40 buck waver. she was so kind.. i still remember her name. but i guess it's better not to disclose it. for all you know. haha.
right my friend and i headed to bugis straight after. we were laughing at every small thing and every little thing that each other did. it was QUITE stupid. i didnt know my friend liked coffee. made me order coffee ice cream while i ordered ferrero. ferrero was GOOD.
-ADVERTISEMENT- today there was no band.. nearly wanted to cry. like how boring la! i miss the horn, i wanna play horn so badly, i wanna play those high notes well so badly, i've even gone jogging to train up my stamina. i know i'm mad. but well, it's my last year here at ngee ann, and my last PnC with the band as a main comm member (not like it makes a diff) and yea. this concert is a pretty tough one esp for harry potter. -END OF ADVERT-
okay. back to my outing. it was fun, i really enjoyed myself. we actually set out to look for friendship bands. well, my friend seems to want them badly. i might as well learn how to make then can make yea? hmmm. we walked around bugis street for abt half an hour, in bugis for abt an hour, got bored. took a train down to dover to take bus to normanton park for fel's bbq. no, actually it was visayon's birthday but heck it. i didnt know that, since i was invited, just went la. afterall, i didnt know those pple.
at dover, we met yunshuang. haha not that i didnt wanna see her but i didnt expect to see her and i was really kinda shocked. hearing that she was going for sectionals, how i wish i had sectionals too. so this sat i'm going down to sch earlier so that i can practise. before the next time marcus comes i Must mUst muSt musT MUST improve. lol.
yup.. okay. after spoke to yunshuang awhile we went to try to go to normanton. we ended up going to clementi interchange. nvm. went opp to take bus. missed the stop.. ended up at queensway. gave up. took a cab from opp. to normanton. really kinda boring there. couldnt eat much also. felt hungry. so we went back to clementi.. what did we do there? went to coffee shop to drink teh peng. my fav drink la.. okay then we went home.. wanted to go visit my friend's house area, it seems serene the last time i was there on the outside. but well, it was late. so we had an arguement abt sending each other home and i tot my friend was serious and i thought my friend was serious so in the end my friend kinda got a lil mad at me cos my friend thought i was being inconsiderate. but i'm not so stupid ya i wont make someone who lives like in the west send me home all the way in sengkang unless i know u have a car. i'm not mean.. and i understand. but i hope u understand me better and not think of me as an unreasonable freak..
okay.. while we were at bugis my nice friend bought for both of us these grass monsters.. my friend took a dinosaur and mine is a pig. really cute, the grass that grows out is so nice~ i love this kinda grass.. pretty green~we'll see whose grass comes out first la.. heh. finally, i didnt expect to go out with my friend today. totally didnt. and i think i really had a pleasant time today.. i feel different somehow.. i wont go on and on abt my friend anymore, i guess i dont want people to misunderstand it as some totally short little fancy or something.. nothing is concrete yet esp on my friend's side.. that's what i feel.. so.. i hope nothing spoils our friendship.. esp not rumours, cos i know my friend doesnt wanna talk to me in front of pple for fear that pple may gossip.. shows some form of un-interest already right? haha.. too bad then.

i realise those two were crappy posts.
boring.
well. band camp was.. rather boring at first but turned out to be really quite fun after all. in terms of making music, that is. i really am quite determined to play my parts well. i'm determined to get my high notes. have to work with peee. lol. Harry Potter is a killer. REALLY. with all its high As and Gs. can DIE.
And this years freshies are fun~ except that cy and i kinda got taken advantage ofduring the games. ugh.... we were held at our waists VERY tightly. and i was so disgusted after that. gees.
anyways, i love horn section.. i just love horn man. HORN ROCKS okay!! well our horn tutor Marcus a.k.a Zhong Qing (if that's how they spell it) is SUPER cool. He's from SAF Central Band. Heard that he's like the star player for horn there. and he IS one hellova player man. his notes are magnificent! and i really mean it, cos he reaches high notes like nobody's business, and reached low notes like it's darned easy! i really loved his tone when he played the solo for Sanchez and when he played Phantom. -omg can faint- SUPER SWEEET TONE!!!!
haha. i learnt a lot from our tutor. I'm sure the whole section benefitted from the session with him. i cant wait for him to come back and teach us more. meanwhile. we better practice our butts off to improve by the next time he comes. =D
games were pretty goofy yesterday.. haha. quite fun after all la. . . watching the guys run out of balance was damn damn funny.... hahahahahahahahahaha especially peter.. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha
