Spent the whole day in ICT clubhouse (home of 3DO committee) all alone in here.. manage to grab hold of the key.. haha! steaming hot in here.. but still manage to cool myself down. but how am i going to cool my laptop down? poor baby...

Counting down... manage to sneak off for dental appoinment during IHP hours.. haha! lucky supervisor didn't call me or look for me. only manage to see me during the afternoon when i quietly sit down drafting ideas for IHP project. Phew..

Oh.. i better start kicking my ass back to NP band. concert is round the corner and have i done any rehearsal's yet? NOT! SWO concert also round the corner.. have i done any rehearsal's yet? NOT! SWE alumni concert? they better start having rehearsals soon too... concert concert concert.. hey peeps! time to buy ticket from me!

its an honor

its an honor playing side by side with the grammy award winner Nestor Torres. what am i talking about? just reach home from a concert with Nestor Torres performing as a guest player in Soka wind ensemble. Anyway, he is a flautist!

The concert is featuring him... and all his latin and jazz music. Pretty cool actually! enjoyed it alot have fun listening to him while fooling around in concert position. Geezz... i am losing my concert discipline. the audience were just beside me and i am fooling around. Haha!!! Must punish myself soon. Hahaha!!! But the latin and jazz beats just kept me going... lalala! who cares about concert discipline!

Am so tired now but couldn't sleep because of all the supper in my stomach currently undergoing digestion. Haha..!

Its a great concert, fun concert. Its an honor! Auf Wiedersehen!

SYF 3 & SSO

just got back from SSO's Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op.73 "Emperor" played by a russian pianist, Mr Valdimir Feltsman. He is a superb pianist! geez.. anyway the orchestra sounded good, maybe because i have yet to hear other orchestra play live before? Haha... The program sheet has a very nice picture of a french horn that is drawn with musical notes.. very nice! post it up another time.. got his autograph also.. haha.. kind of bo liao... but interesting! The horn players were fantastic, 2 only but they compliment each other very well.. and they have a sound of 4 players. wow.. Can't see is who.. fantastic tone.. tempted to take lesson from them.. hahaha!

On top of that, they played this piece called Central Park in the Dark. Pretty interesting piece, a modern composition. It depicts Central Park in NY at night... the quiteness of the park at night and all the jazz n broadway around it. Cool..! i want to hear that again! haha... could not get enough of orchestra music...

oh yah... congrats to Riverside, Unity sec. for getting their silver medal. happy for them! Especially riverside. Hmm... can see that they put in lots of effort in getting that medal. 2 years later.. lets improve further..!

SYF 2

i believe many people have heard and know about it.

Alumni's are upset and disappointed. Students itself have taken a big setback. I am just at a snap of a finger lost all mood to do the banner for 3d0 camp. but still put on a happy face infront of my comm members and continue to do my work.

My message to Shuqun Alumni's --> no matter what has happen, its part of history now, look forward to the future. If our brother/sister band falls, we should be there to help them up. If our brother/sister band succeed, we should be there to celebrate. Don't be dishearten and look forward to the future. Be a goodwill ambassodor in which ever band you perform in, show them the quality musicianship that shuqun has trained and mature in you!

My message to shuqun members --> don't be affected by what has happen and lead to a decision to quit from the world of music. Work hard n think positively, train up the future generations so that you all will in time shine again!

My blessing to Riverside and Unity too...

SYF

SYF is in full swing this week! heard lots of ups and downs since monday. the results for my cousin bands are pretty much expected. Compassvale - Gold, Zhenghua - Silver, Fuhua - Silver. Kudos to you all! They now do deserve a long break. Shuqun n Tanglin will be presenting at S.C.H today. All the best to them. Too bad, i am "grounded" by the school otherwise i won't mind spending the afternoon listening to them. Tomorrow is Riverside n Unity.

Well.... good luck to them!

IHP Experience (Week 1)

i am losing my mind pretty soon. one guy sitting in the middle of no where in NP staring at the laptop and the laptop staring back at me. TOR is pretty much into it version 1.1 and gantt chart is sort of completed.

Waiting for call from supervisor to give him a "presentation" on my idea. Did he call? maybe soon.. growing cobwebs now.. hahaha!

3do meeting later on today, going to do banner during IHP hours. hope my supervisor won't kill me. Meanwhile...... growing cobwebs while waiting for time to pass so that i can sign out and go home? go band? go rot somemore?

camp n bowling

Okay, i have stayed awake for more than 36 hours. Shuqun Band camp was so-so, except for the part that me and a few alumni's took all the slippers from the bunk and aglin it along the corridor and staircase. It was fun seeing all panicking when they wake up realising that their slippers was missing.

Manage to return home to freshen up and off back to shuqun again. Listen to Riverside, ZhengHua and Shuqun playing their SYF set and choice piece. Was impress with Riverside performance today but the other two school.. guess it wasn't your day.

Sent riverside back to their school when it was time for RS to leave. And returned back to Jurong east soon after.

Went for a bowling session, 111 pin falls.. pretty nice record for me today. Not a pro anyway. all thanks to Miss tan for making this happen.

Am now thinking of something...
Urgh! i need some... No! lots of sleep!

oh whatever 2

i like to dedicate this blog to my father.

to my father, thanks for spoiling my day today, thanks for all your blabbering all sorts of rubbish at me. I have no idea what you were talking about. are you speaking human language or bird language? Geez... i can onli understand English, Chinese or German. Anyway i do suggest you go for a brain check up. I think your brain neurones are not in proper working order.

The family communicates on the bandwidth of IEEE 802.11b but hmm... what frequency are you on? are you having some interference with the wireless router that was recently installed at home? Never mind, go get your brain neurones check.

oh whatever....

oh whatever

skipping a beat

i don't know what wrong with me recently. my chest feels awfully painful at times and it seems like my heart has time to time skipped a beat. Oh no... sorry people if i have MIA, health seems to be the problem.

alumni band is improving, in size and in music. attendence today was so much much much better than the other 2 practices. hopefully this will stay on till concert and thai trip? Pesky as he can be, weida, my good pal from secondary days, asking ridiculous questions and irritates my ass off. haha... fun.

seen someone today, how i feel? hmm... don't know, don't care, don't bother.

losing my sense of humor, hmm... weida was kinda right. i think poly has made me a much more boring person because of work? or is it i am just running away from something?

FYP, to do the project terrence choo propose to me or develop my eTicketing system? both seem interesting enough, but which one should i do?

Imagine Cup? Hmm... let's imagine!

i think i am lost, walking around with no sense of direction. God, can guide me?

joy & disappointment

FYP - Got to know who is my supervisor, Mr Terrence Choo. Kinda guess what my project will be, but yet to find out the details of it. A bit of contridiction here, Mr Choo's email mention that he will provide more details in subsequent email and ask me to concentrate on my exams first, but on the other hand, Mr Dimuthu (the guy in charge of FYP) ask us to prepare project outline and TOR by March 15. Now... getting blur here... hahaha...

Another result was release, shall not mention it, it doesn't make any difference taking it twice or thirce.. there is consistency but no improvement.

UD assignment - Satisfied and happy.
PM assignment - Not satisfied but can live with it.

SA assignment - well.. i think i am satisfied with the grade dispite all that shit that has happen just to complete this assignment. From this assignment, i have learn, friends are divided into three catergories - autocratic friends, democratic friends and hypocrite beast. Sad to say some beast are turning their back against me, for what reason i don't know. Calling me a hypocrite? what about yourself? Creep?

jus another update

hmm.. where should i start?

okies, chinese new year was just like the past few years, basically boring, actually spend my time doing my assignments. Have datelines to meet so i have no choice.

valentines' day was a success! went to collect the flowers the day before and have all my planning comm member to come over my place and wrap the flowers. De-thorning was tough, but it was the mother of one of my planning comm who do it. Really appreciate her help! Thanks! The hardest part was to wrap 99 roses! hahaha... our initial order of 200 roses is not enough to meet the orders. so got to get extra roses. anyway, after wrapping the 99 roses, it naturally form into a heart shap. Aww.. so nice. haha.. the colors of the roses look so refreshing, and my house smell of roses.

On the actual day, the flowers are sold out within 3 hours? yeeps! totally overjoyed, at least i don't need to worry about having extra roses. Thanks to all people who have contributed to this event and make it a success!

suffering from occassional chest pain recently, i don't what happen, but it just slows me down. Ouch! taking rest these few days...

alumni prac, starting tml, it will take place every sunday until SYF is over. In the midst of preparing for our thailand trip this november. looking forward to the trip.

also looking at the possiblity of taking part in Imagine Cup a competition by Microsoft. Details are yet to be finalised.

Lots of events happening for ICT, especially the first few weeks of the new semester. All events are for the incoming cohort of year 1s.

okay i think that's what basically happened from the begining of the month till now.
