Mr Jonathan Velasco was fantastic. Through the 2 days of his workshop, we really learnt a lot, and he really knows how to joke! Haha.. We all had fun, though I find the choir really restless these 2 days. Miss Lim was definitely not very happy I think, though she tried to pretend that she's happy. Not much to update, I hope my leg's getting better.. And finally I changed my bedsheet lol.

BLANK-ed

Went for nail surgery reluctantly as forced by my dad, now my right foot toe's nail has been plucked off. It wasn't painful though, the acupuncture anasthetic was quite good. Now I have walking problems -.- Can't walk properly, have to use plastic bag to cover foot while bathing.. This is all damn retarded stuff, but it's for the greater good. Now I don't have ingrown toenail anymore xP

Home sweet home :)

I'm back in Malaysia! I came back on Friday night, immediately after school ends. I'm gonna miss quite a lot of things during this trip back to M'sia, such as 3 (omg omg damn 3) choir practices and Chemistry make up remedials. I think I'm gonna try to study at home, today I wasted the whole day >.< But I did two chemistry tutorials yesterday! It's like the 1st time in 5.5 years of studying in Singapore that I actually did homework at home.

Playing dota has made me realized something that I have always never known of. I realized that I am scared of losing my friends, as my skills in dota is deproving, then I don't know why I am so troubled over it. Recently I realized that it's because I am scared of playing so badly in dota that my friends all don't want to play with me anymore, and I think I can't afford that. I am scared of losing them, at least in the game playing aspect.

Oh well, I am a very happy person compared to many others. So to all the others, stay strong, and jiayou :)

Today went for percussion drums arts class, then realized that it's not the drum set thing -.- But I really had fun! The instructor was really friendly and nice :) And there's this sentence that he said that I felt was really meaningful, it goes like this, "if you try to impress, you become slave to creativity." I really felt that it's very true, especially in a realistic world like this. Thus what we have to do is just to enjoy ourselves when we make music. :)

And just watched American Idol finals, I think David Archuleta is overall better, but I'm not exactly sad that David Cook has won because they both make very different music.

'a moment like this..'

Hmm.. So I slept at 4am on Monday morning. What a health disaster -.-

Nothing much happened these few days, except I just realised that it's 1 months to block test 2 -.- and 1.5 'pages' to choir olympics, on the calendar. I don't really know whether the choir is really prepared, judging by the level we are at I think we really need some hard work. And crap I'm missing 3 practices :( I hope I can catch up after I come back to Singapore.

I still didn't do my physics tutorial, and I hate myself because I feel totally no sense of remorsefulness about it -.- But I'm reading LASER now! Haha!

'perhaps it would be much clearer sung than told.'

The moment I logged into blogger, I realised something magical. 07S69's blog was above mine. Which means.. SOMEONE UPDATED THE CLASS BLOG! OMG. Jack posted some class photos. Guess I'll try to keep it going. Haha.

Anyway, ignore yesterday's post, I had nothing better to do as I was rotting in the boarding school.

Went to SHAKE! yesterday. It gets better as the night progresses, the first few dances were really very messy. The Bboy instructor is really good! I like the Chinese Dance Alumni dance. And One Missed Call was awesome! Really like the setting and the 猛ness. Haha. Overall it's really great, now I really regret not going to last year's Dance Night. Oh ya, Pot Luck was one of the better dances also. And the chinese + modern one is also very nice. Haha why am I giving all positive comments.

I wish I could be in MAD.. Haha.

Okay! I'm off the revive the class blog!

Can someone just tell me, why am I rotting in the boarding school.

Seriously, I need to get out and breathe some fresh air.
But then I have a lot of homework to catch up.
Econs, Math, Chemistry, Physics (which I never ever do)
This is damn crap!!
I don't know whether my Vesak Day is going to be wasted like today again.
At least I'm anticipating tonight's SHAKE!

I need to socialize -.-

I do think about relationships a lot, though I don't really make the effort to make them work.
I have no trust in them anyway.
I think now is not a good time to go into relationships.
Especially when there's A-LEVELS this year.
Coupled with the fact that there's choir olympics in July.
Argh! I want to do a lot of things!
But I just don't have the driving force to do it.
Things like learn dance, singing PROPERLY, a lot of stuff..
At least there's drum lesson next Thursday
Which I'm really looking forward to :)

Direct quote from Melissa's blog:

Things that make me sad:

1. Losing faith in love
2. Witnessing people trying and failing
3. Watching efforts go to waste
4. Knowing but not being able to help
5. Trying, but getting nowhere
6. Missing
7. Detachment

Walao.. stupid hostel connection.. I want to see friend's profile also lag like crap..

Simple things can make you happy in life. For example:

< yeeching > =) whee!! says:
wow, whoo!! xianyou xianyou!! --->

I am very happy now :)

See it's really easy to make me happy :)

Yay :)

Now I finally understand the meaning of the word 'jealousy'. At least I think I felt it. Haha.

Anyway, these few days have been really tiring to me. I find myself being unable to take all the work that's coming in, it's just like what Ms Lim said, "you think you can make it but actually you can't", I think that applies here. It's like I think I can manage the stuff but in the end I find myself being overly exhausted and tired. I guess I need the weekend to really rest well..

A cappella is out in youtube!~

Man + Angels
Stand By Me + Beautiful Girls

Don't try the download link, it doesn't work for now. I think we really improved a lot since we started, Sunday's angels was really the best out of all our practices, I felt good =) And Stand By Me was nice! Cheers to jerry who really sang well despite him having no voice on Sunday.

I really need to catch up on all the homework and stuff.. Sigh. >.<

VIF '08 is finally over! Must say that I am quite relieved. I was actually quite nervous on that day, it's kind of a commitment to the choir and wanting to sing well, especially after Friday's disastrous experience. But I must say that the choir did well on Sunday =) And I think the a cappella was really nice! We didn't go THAT out of tune at least for Angels, and I think changing the song order was a clever move. Only regret is that we didn't get to sing 阿凡提, sigh.

I think overall it was quite an enjoyable experience, it's really nice to have everyone supporting you on stage and when you performed well, you will really feel the sense of satisfaction.

Thank you moxiang for the flower. And sorry moxiang because I wasted the other flower.

I seriously don't know why some person in my family loves to get angry and starts ignoring people and then use strong and uncomfortable-to-the-ears words to start talking about the person that caused him/her to get angry, DURING A SUPPOSEDLY HAPPY TRIP. And this is not the first time that it's happening; at home it's the usual case.

Baka.

Today we had a rough visit to the Vietnam War's site, where people go through tunnels so small you have to crawl (and we did!). Then I was wearing white pants, which became grey pants obviously. At night we had this dinner on the boat thingy and some girl was performing and she eats fire! Woohh.

I should probably sleep now, since I need to wake up early tomorrow. But it's a 2 hour bus ride and I wouldn't know what to do.. Especially since I don't have an MP3 player (returned to shaun), laptop (it's my brother's), or a phone capable of playing games (I didn't bring it, and it's a non-color one anyway). Ah. sucks.

Hmm.. I think I'm one of the first to reach home I guess? Can't sleep anymore, 8 hours is quite full for me.

And here goes the first concert. I find the first half quite okay, especially Magnificat, where Ms Lim said it was good. However, the second half was really not very good. I don't care whether it's because of restlessness, complacency or whatever, I know that we will do even better on Sunday and not let Ms Lim down.

A cappella was quite bad, Stand by Me was good, but Angels was horrendously out of tune -.- I think the group needs some practice on Sunday. I think it's because most of us were a bit nervous.

Are flowers that important? They don't seem so but when I saw everyone having flowers and happily talking to their friends, I felt lonely. It's as if I have no friends or whatever.

今天的合唱团训练虽然不是很好，但是我相信每个人都学到了很多东西。尽管Ms Lim把我们骂得狗血淋头，我觉得今天的练习是值得的。

Hmm acappella was okay, but hallelujah was so bad that Ms Lim kicked it out -.- In the end we substituted it by Stand By Me and _______ hahaha shall not say until after concert. But anyway we were all quite okay with the decision, really sorry to DJ who had to do beatbox again, and xuanwei who really put in a lot of effort into the score. Cheers goes to siew ying xinyi and amanda too for always there with us. We can do it!

voices in flight =) 2 days~

Hmm lots of stuff happened..

Sunday: I was doing my GP time tunnel presentation for the whole morning, not bad I learnt some stuff! It's actually quite interesting, stuff about computer/AI, rocketry, television and others. And in the afternoon went to practice investiture dinner's performance with Grace, decided to sing 一眼瞬间 and 摩天轮 (a bit high for me -.-) I think it's quite nice la we can make it.. Hmm then at night I realised I left my thumb drive in the computer room! >.< Now can't find it back.. And apparently the one who picked up my thumb drive 不是个好心人，he didn't return it to the office! =(

Monday: Math lecture test.. I think I didn't do that well, I did careless mistakes for the AP/GP question, damn! It's supposed to be a giveaway question.. But I was quite happy in the afternoon because I got 24.5/25 for chemistry class test =) Stupid phenol mistake. Anyway, choir was a bit bad, we were all too excited and just 乱乱 chiong around and Ms Lim was not really happy with us.. I really need to work hard more especially in my breathing! I can't breath properly now -.-

Oh and at night I watched 千与千寻, it's really a very nice anime, with nice story. Too bad the ending is a bit stupid, didn't tell us what happened to the other protagonist of the show. Highly recommended for everyone to watch it. (Or am I very lag by watching it now -.-)

Today: Quite an ordinary day, nothing much happened. Went for acappella prac this afternoon, I think we still got 走声 a bit but I guess the overall feeling is quite okay, I think we can make it during the concert! Jiayou guys =)

Concert is approaching.. 心情有点混乱，很多事情在这几个星期一瞬间就过去了。真的希望这次的演出会是一个成功的，当然我也会尽我的全力。加油加油！

edit: oh forgot to mention that I had a lot of fun today behind LT3 with the drums =) and I just signed up for percussion drum course!! AHH IMBA HAPPY ~~ (wah I get happy very easily!! =))

Today's choir was quite bad, Ms Lim was super pissed with us in the morning, she said 'i understand you all are tired and your voices are bad today', but that's not an excuse that we are not singing well! I was wondering whether Ms Lim made the right choice by _not_ scolding us and asking us to rest and come back at 12:30pm. So I had this little intellectual talk with Cherie, Li-shan and Junyao, haha! Ultimately Junyao thinks that Ms Lim has her own reasons and that's why she's not scolding the choir, but I think that the choir deserves some scolding (pressure) as the concert is like in less than 1 week and we are still singing like shit.

A cappella was quite okay, hallelujah is a bit zao xia but well we'll try to sing better through some more practice.

Anyway, Ms Lim's theory got pawned by our afternoon performance -.- where we really performed quite badly. We didn't get the pulse right and some random stuff here and there really made her quite angry.. I think we really need to start working hard!! Else there's no time already. It's already like 3rd may.. Sigh sigh jiayou everyone!

Loads of homework to be done.. Ahh.. I want to slack.. -.-

I sit and wait
Does an angel
Contemplate my faith
And do they know
I don't think they know >.<

random!!
