Monday - manage to get a sample of web service code from my classmate who was hiding somewhere in the library. i walked round n round n round with the terrible pain from my thigh muscles. yesh! the codes came in really handy, basically solve all problems related to coding. Met up with my supervisor, showed him what was done so far. Loaned PDA from him for the rest of the project weeks.
Wednesday - Research on RFID, coming out with a report or some sorts. intending to put it with my project report. nothing much. went home during the afternoon and fell asleep the moment i hit the bed. haha.. guess i am too tired.

Guten Morgan! Just an update..
Friday - Morning went down to RS teach sec 1s horn, trombone n tuba. free flow of puking and vomitting blood. have not been teaching for a long long long time. heard the main band, doesn't sounds as good as what pat told me. he too agree. guess its the result of a long break. Afternoon hang around town, collected tickets. then zoom of for joel bbq. stayed overnight.
Saturday - woke up super duper late, bbq the whole day again. completed BMT (a.k.a Basic Mahjong Training). i still don't understand how is it played. haiz.. got home quite late.
Sunday - Bowling tournament for Sembawang GRO, got trash like nobody business. ended up throwing balls only, didn't have enough practice for the game. My thigh muscle is still in pain as of now.. can't stand up and sit down properly. Good thing i treated my fingers with ice pack during the game otherwise i can't type or play piano.

IHP Experience (Week 11)
finally... the database cum web service is up and running. manage to find the solution in one of the forums recommended by a lecturer. didn't understand what this guy solution was initially, but still manage to tweak a little setting and got it working.
gonna work on the 'e-coupon' feature. at least something to show my supervisor on monday. i will and must get the PDA from him to do testing. still worried about the RFID feature, wondering how am i going to simulate it since i don't have the actual device to work on. overall, move on tiny step forward, not wasting time, doing project at home 24/7 liao..

IHP Experience (Week 10)
what should i say.. oh yah.. IHP thinggy. =)
Monday - wasn't keen on turning up in school for IHP after burning every single bit of energy for the past 2 days. Somehow don't know why, my legs lead me towards the MRT station, so i took a train to clementi, quick transit on to the bus and reached school very eary. Walked towards atrium, get online and sign in attendance, walk out of school and head home.
Wednesday - Squeeze, bumped, squashed around on the bus!
Did some research on ASP.NET web service and databases. started to create database on Access play around with web service, still got error, need to update the Office software, ended up slacking and snacking in IHP room. Its mid way through IHP project. i have another month of programming work to be done. Got to get the web service up and running!
Painc index = 80%
Rotting status = 45% completed

"musical"
i just came back from a really can tell for sure low quality business sense but with no musical sense local truly uniquely Singapore musical production. (Try saying this with one breath!) Got free tickets to PCK the musical. My truly honest opinion, its the worst musical i have ever been to! wait! i don't even want to call this a musical... it should be called something else...
seriously, i am begging all local tv producers, please do not attempt to produce a musical from a award winning tv programme. all tv programme are made for a reason, that is they are meant for TVs!
Location - Indoor Stadium wasn't bulit for musicals! if u want to hold some pop idol concert or ice skating show or some mass event in a sheltered area, please go ahead and do it in there, don't produce a musical in indoor stadium. Out of three sectors in the stadium, only one sector can make it for seating, which is the center section where you directly face the stage. I suffered almost three hours of pain turning my head and body to face the stage. Ouch!
Timing - for goodness sake, if you print 8pm on a ticket, please promptly start the show. don't wait till almost 30 mins later then start the show.
Sound & Lighting - okay i really have not much comments on this area, sound quality is passable, lighting was okay. jus make sure equipments use are able to withstand all kinds of abuse without making some electronic static sounds.. its really irritating to hear those kind of static noise while the performer speak.. geez!
Storyline - really a typical singapore quality story line.
Cast - I think they acted fine, lots of room for improvement. But i would like to comment on the dancers a.k.a extras. They dance pretty well... Act pretty well.. great job dancers!
Musicians - Okay, there was a live orchestra playing. Not bad..
Costumes - Looks good.. impressive!
Props - Erm.. please invest in more technology into it, its so unsightly to see lots of people pushing and pulling and carrying and setting up props between scenes. One or two is okay not everything!
Final note - please don't promote sponsors within the musical. can u imagine there is one part were this actor is singing meanwhile promoting its sponsors, wonder anyone notice that anot?
But still i would like (as i always do) give credit to all people who put in effort for making this musical though personally felt that its far from international standards. Credits to the Cast, peformers, dancers, musical, backstage crew blah blah blah....

what a blast!
Curtains close for 2nd (or should i say 3rd) concert for the year. Yupz! PnC is over. Frankly speaking, it wasn't a good concert. tempo was up for a few songs.. intonation suffered here and there... but i think the credits should go to everyone who put in the effort spending their own free time practising for this concert.
Great job to the horns for the horn choir! still sounded off balance, but hey, i think they should still feel proud for that part. My solo, was freaking scary but was totally overjoyed when its over. Phew! I think the touch for that solo was good... as my teacher always say, slow touch was my forte... someone was charmed by my playing.. hahaha! (Speechless n no comments!)
Shall not say much... still very exhausted from last night, attending Yuhua n RV alumni concert later.. hopefully is good.. good music can keep me awake otherwise...

some thoughts
alot of things struck me recently. ICT's student bodies are merging into ICT student council, had a really long meeting last monday with Brendon, society ppl, e-garage ppl. it become very clear to me that this 2 major student bodies have 2 different mindset. Well... of course, one is more fun orientated and the other is technology orientated. some problems 'sense of belonging' and 'volunteerism'. i jus wonder, when you join in a club or society, should you volunteer yourself to help out in events or be obligated to help out in events.
some dumb ass president of a SIG just complained that the main comm always have to do everything and he has the expectation of people volunteer themselve automatically to help out in events. his words really assure me that i have did the right thing when i play my role as a leader. Delegation is the word. Manpower are the hands of a leader.
How would you define a leader? What are the qualities of a leader?
Horn tutoring - Zhongqin the SAF hornist came down to tutor the section. i was late due to a meeting with the lectures. didn't play much. they were working on phantom n harry potter. previously he had taught some techniques for practicing the horns. The techniques he mention was exactly the same i tell all my hornies.. Again, i was assure that i did the right thing. =)
on a lighter note, my father fly to work today! haha... kk.. he is on a day trip to KL. Taking a flight there.. my mum tease him last night.. everybody has to either take a bus or walk to work or school while my dad flew to work. he will be back tonight. Hmm... how nice if i could fly while working...?
i am wondering, should i still pursue something that in the end i know i will still lose it. lost in thoughts...
kk... i am dying to own a dSLR.. Canon 350D or D70s. any sponsors? Dad? Mum? haha... totally love photography. SLRs... Lens... Flash... Tripod... Subjects.... argh!!! Opps! forget to develop sunday's photos...

Overjoyed, my poster was a better design than the other guy. anyway he used my initial idea to design his poster. infringement of IP laws k... Lolz..

balloon hat fest!
was down at sentosa yesterday, enjoying myself at the balloon hat fest.. shuqun was participating in the festival alongside with its cousin bands compass n fuhua. coincidentally, this three schools were lined up side by side at the holding area n parade. shuqun sounded terrible during their performance... first time hearing them since SYF. their level of playing really justify their medal. i am just being frank.
took quite a number of shots.. but not very satisfied with the composition except for a few. yet to develop the photos.. shall see the outcome when its develop. but nice learning experience for outdoor photography. speaking of which, there is this photographer made me his part-time model. haha.. he's jus being creative. saw me leaning against a "balloon traffic light" holding a trombone. then he went to borrow a balloon hat and squeeze it on my head. snap snap. gonna track him down and ask for that photo. perhaps he is a clubsnapper .
weather was freaking hot n sunny.. and yesh! i manage to sell off another 4 ticket as promised. maybe can squeeze out another 4 more ticket sales.
