These few days have been.. Unproductive I guess? I started econs revision but didn't progress much, I'm finishing up on reading the syllabus but I haven't start on reading the answer schemes yet (and that's the integral part of the whole revision).

I can't really remember what happened these few days, I know I downloaded some songs to listen, and tried to learn some songs, and I like recording myself singing I'm Yours with the guitar and hearing it HAHA I know I'm quite 自恋 haha.

Today's Seok Hui's birthday and we celebrated it at my class bench. After that we couldn't find a classroom so we were mugging at SRC benches, and Siew Ying was breaking out with sweat haha I guess it's really stuffy there. But then again we really couldn't find an air-conditioned place to study.

Went to choir afterwards. I guess Miss Lim's really disappointed at the performance of the choir over the past week until now.. I can't really comment but I guess they should be stricter in their sectionals, because from what I've seen it's not exactly very effective. I hope the choir gets better though I really want to hear them sing the songs. Kaliban!

Now I'm doing GP AQ. Aggression!!! Grrr... Haha this is random -.-

David Archuleta released Angels as a new single. He did a lot of improvisations but I think he did it too much until some parts of the songs are kinda weird. But it's still nice haha.

Il Divo - Encore (DVD)

I had one of the best 23 minutes of my life.

edit: Watched the 1 hour footage on how Il Divo was found, and I really must praise Simon Cowell for his idea of presenting pop songs with such incredible opera voices!


My rating: 5/5

Identified - Vanessa Hudgens

Seems that Vanessa Hudgens' songs have 'evolved' in the sense that they're becoming more mature I guess? The album features more hip tracks, with her singing presenting more styles in the different genres of singing, as opposed to more standard songs in her previous album 'V'. I personally enjoyed 'Identified', a techno track that actually resembles this certain chinese song which I can't remember what it is haha (probably that's why I enjoy it!). 'Don't Ask Why', one of her few 'emo' songs in the album, is nice too. 'Paper Cut' was compared to Leona Lewis' 'Bleeding Love' in various reviews and they didn't like the song, But I feel that it's okay. There's nothing Vanessa Hudgens can do at the comment I guess, since her voice tend to be softer and with less depth. I don't really prefer 'Gone With The Wind' though reviews praised it.

Oh and one thing I noticed, none of her songs exceeded 4 minutes (even in the previous album!) I don't know why this happens but some songs could afford to be longer I guess?

My rating: 3.5/5

high school musical 3

High Schol Musical 3 is AWESOME! Watched it this morning, we're one of the first people to watch the movie haha. When I first heard the songs it didn't sound nice but it's just as I thought, I need the whole feel of the movie to enjoy it. They're fantastic! I got a lot more than what I've expected in this movie, especially since HSM2 was not as good. I really really recommend everyone to watch it. It's really good.

It's now or never!
Right here, right now!
Can I have this dance?
Just wanna be with you~

Really love the songs.

this love

Crap. Emo. Haha.

lol

Wednesday was choir, went back with shaun and junyao to take a look at the choir. Managed to talk to miss lim and really had a fun chat with her, I guess the juniors really need to bulk up, they lack the structure to which they are aiming for things. All the best to them.

I really, really wish that I can get away with A's as soon as possible, for these few weeks are really boring and stupid to me.. Studying what you've been reading through for the past 2 years is really sianz. And I'm kinda scared for econs since I haven't touched any paper on econs. Haha.

anyone?

Did dunman prelim compre this morning and it was like, omg. I really hope to pass my GP, but apparently it's really a quintessential human delusion huh? Haha..

And I finished Chem syllabus, not really finished because I didn't touch organic chem but I don't really care at the moment anyway. I need to do my physics and econs..

I really, really want to watch high school musical 3, but I can't seem to find anyone who's actually watched high school musical 2, let alone interested. I don't want to force anyone or what, I really just want to enjoy watching it with someone who's as interested as me. I want to be able to sing the songs with someone, anyone, I just want to watch and enjoy it with anyone, anyone. But I can't find anyone.

bad week

This week has really been bad for me. I have almost never touched any books, and I don't really know what I've been doing. Sigh. I seriously, seriously need to start doing work. So many things to do.

We had boarding school year end dinner on thursday, and it was kinda fun. Everyone dressed up haha. Dance night after dinner, and I was really high together with the malaysian scholars. Too bad most of the guys were too afraid to dance haha. And prom king and queen were sijin and yijing respectively! Congrats to them.

I found I'm Yours (From the Casa Nova sessions) and it's like really, really nice. The lead guitar does all the improvisations madly. If only I have that level of guitar skills. Haha.

High School Musical 3 opens in theatres on Friday! I really want to watch it. The songs really suck big time when I first listened but well after I listened to Right Here, Right Now yesterday after my emotions settled it was kind of nice I guess. Maybe I need to watch the full movie for the effect. Yups.

Current Music: 对手 - Tank&郑伟康 (highly recommended!)

半生熟

半生熟 - 品冠&戴佩妮

你总是腼腆用幽默语言
填满我心里的小缺陷
灌溉满座花园让我住里面
对你我怎么可能心不在焉

你总是淘气用微笑双眼
照亮我生活每个阴天
编织整片屋檐让我躲里面
对你我没有抱怨

我为你泡的咖啡额外加了甜
赶走夜的晕眩
我为你准备一整年的喜悦
一步一个脚印让幸福实现

我喜欢你却又偏偏喜欢我
零时差的拥有
点燃温柔 让孤单解冻
小心翼翼享受你害羞逗留

我喜欢追你却偏偏喜欢躲
无条件的邂逅
爱到现在 刚好半生熟
投递着微妙的感动

...

I guess it just hits me, huh. I can't really believe that I didn't update on grad nite and open house.

I don't know also.

华语酷

我破例了，已经好久好久没有在部落格上写东西了。

过去的几天对我来说真的是有点难应付。可能是在生命上遇到了一些挫折吧。我只希望能够把这伤痕补好，不要再去多想它了。毕竟这条路上是没有选择的。

今天去找了我的英语老师，我的英语真的需要许多苦功，哈哈。

今天看到我们合唱团的指挥了！看到她真开心。这两年来我在合唱团真的是留下 了许多酸甜苦辣，也留下了许多美好的回忆。我一定会回去合唱团训练探望我的学弟学妹们。

用华语能够表达的东西，真的是非笔墨所能形容的。

我的华语真的是退步了。

我该放弃了吧。

Thank you cherie and jean for buying sweets for me.

i <3 choir

<3 choir to the max.

Every lesson now seems so boring to me that I can't really absorb much. Had econs revision lecture (mock exam next monday! -.-) and GP lesson on the compre on freedom.. LIBERTY! EQUALITY! FRATERNITY! Haha.. Then it was really, really boring because I was stoning in school from 12 until 3. Was with shaun and junyao, we went to AVT to play the clavinova, went to LT3 to 'play' drums when I realised I forgot to bring my pseudo-drumsticks (papermate pen ftw!) and went to the com room to randomly use the internet.

Then we had a cappella practice, and then it's prom performance audition! I think we did rather badly? It was kinda horribly out of tune but I guess we enjoyed ourselves. Like junyao CRACKING and going out of tune haha. After that I stayed back to watch some of the performances, there's harapan performing magic, breakdancing from MAD, and some guitar + singing. Jiayou to tack kian and terrance too. :)

Went to choir to watch the J1s sing. I never knew that White Christmas is such a nice song. When I first listened to the Real Group's rendition I felt that it was a normal song but I can really feel the warmth of the song from the choir juniors :) Seems that this song requires a larger group to sing. Haha. It's really, really nice. And mamma mia is also nice too! Really lookin' forward to their performance on friday. I really miss singing with the choir, I miss entering the AVT early to randomly play the clavinova, I miss seeing Miss Lim (loves to her!), I miss standing and putting my files on the ground, I miss making music, I miss getting scolded, I miss sectionals, I miss practically everything. I really want to go for carolling..

And I still need to find a place to stay after prom night, and find a job.. Sigh.

i want to sleep

Today is a long and tiring day..

This morning I went for Physics revision lecture (when I don't need to), and I was smsing when I got caught by the lecturer.. Apparently he called me for quite long and I didn't realise and was happily smsing away until Xianzhe called me and like everyone in the LT was looking at me -.- Must be stupid junyao bring bad luck to me in his sms. Haha.

Then the acappella group gathered again to practice for tomorrow's audition! I really miss the days where we practiced weekly for the concert.. I always thought that I do not enjoy acappella music as much as I do for other genres but when everyone sang I can feel the magic :) Really love the choir and the aca people. And we can just hit Stand By Me off even after like, say, 4 months of not touching the songs? Haha.. And Shaun's joining us to sing. :) Now the only thing to 头痛 is on the song choice for prom performance..

Today I sweated so much because I went to Sim Lim Square myself to take back my laptop! I'm using it happily now XD but I guess I'll have to take care of it more to prevent the motherboard from screwing up again -.- and then I went to find the indecisive Di Jie and Xianzhe hahaha shan't say much here. Hmm.. I came back to school and met Tack Kian and we went to hall to do our usual piano-singing haha then we got caught by the staff -.- Lucky is a nice song!

I'm lagging behind in studies.. I only read through chem revision questions, did some math (that's tby far the most worked subject), 'saw' the econs questions and physics? What is that? Haha.. To think that next week is Econs mock A level I'm like totally not prepared.

I hope my laptop won't screw up again, really!

I really miss the days where we have choir until super super late but it's all worth it because of the choir love :)

idiot.

Today..

Went to school realising that I do not need to attend flag raising
Mugged with Adriel, Xianzhe and Junyao in A201
Went for Econs lecture and Physics paper review
Met up with acapella guys to finally decide that we're gonna sing stand by me for audition (well..)
Received a call and knew that my com has been repaired :)
Stoned in school playing the 4-string guitar (power chords ftw!)
Went to gym with Shaun and Hewlett
Came back and rotted until now

Basically, my life is in a mess.

This is so screwed. What if I do not have time to get out and buy tomorrow?

pics

Wahaha I got the pictures. But they are super unglam.

If I had this pair of specs.. Haha!

Ultra big 46' screen XD compare it to my 15.4' laptop on the side.

The other pictures shows too many unglam side of me to be posted hahaha..

family

Hmm so Friday was another random day with boring physics and chem lessons.. And then I was extremely random because I went out with Adriel to buy stuff. And in the end I didn't buy anything from J8. (But hey I managed to lompang a cab trip XD) At least Adriel's got company he intended to buy alone! Haha..

Parents are coming later! I can feel the family love. Haha.

--edit at 7pm--

Went out with parents and apparently I ate 3 packets of bee hoon without knowing it's 3 o.0 Anyway we went to Sim Lim Square to repair my computer.. The technician said that the motherboard is 'burnt' and he can either repair for $210 or change the entire motherboard for $380. Nowadays repairing computers are so expensive.. I was suggesting to my dad that instead of changing the motherboard we can buy the 1st generation Eee PC for $398, around the same price! Haha.

After that we went to NUS to look for my brother, and we ate at the canteen there.. The McDonald's in NUS is like subsdizied I envy them so much -.- One Big Mac meal only costs $4.90 as opposed to $6.75 in regular McDonald's restaurants. (Why are there so many prices in this post?) So I ate the big mac meal and tried the wasabi fries it's really nice! :) Recommend others to try it out.

Hmm we went to IMM afterwards to shop.. Nothing much there except that my dad was crazy over this toyota car that he wants to buy. Haha.

Haha I just realised my life is going to be consisting of guitar and guitar and guitar, because I'm like gonna guitar again..

P/S: I changed specs! Not purple anymore.. Haha probably I lost my uniqueness. Haha.

There are times where I can read anything on the web, be it someone's blog, a random information on google, or anything else probably on wikipedia, and I'll start thinking a lot about how it relates to me, and how my life is probably worse than others in a certain sense. Maybe sometimes I just care too much or anything, but sometimes it really gets to me and I'll really crumble. That's my weak side, I guess.

can't live without you

Err.. I mean my computer haha I'm trying to get used to days without the com! That's why I'm in the com room now. Haha. Using meebo to chat and doing other random stuff. But I shall not use for long and I shall devote all my computer time right now to guitar!

But I'll have trouble learning new songs because I used to find chord progressions on the net. And I don't even have the mp3 to listen to for the correct key. Damn!

my laptop has exploded

I'm extremely disappointed in Acer laptops. I was using my laptop just now and suddenly it just turned itself off. And my power adaptor's light was blinking. When I unplugged the power adaptor from the computer it showed that it's working. Neither did the battery work.

The worst thing is, my warranty expired on 27/8.

This means, I need to waste money on repairing my laptop.

I'm like, so pissed. Acer laptops are cheap, but probably that is compromised by lower quality products. Even if I repair my laptop, it will probably be spoiled again. Sigh.

I'm not gonna buy gaming notebooks anymore. Asus Eee PC, anyone? Haha..
