time check: 5.45 AM
the sun is almost rising
bbq ended 5 hrs ago
showered 4 hrs ago
chats on the 5th floor ended 2 hrs ago
calculus I tutorial is done 15 mins ago
somehow all of a sudden, i have the feel to work on my calculus tutorial... so after some random chats with avril and meiyue upstairs, i came down and started on tutorial.. and i somehow just kept on doing... and i just finished the tutorial due next week.
bbq was cool! at first i thought it'll be mundane for me, cos i'm not close to the freshies, and they're mostly in their own world... but i'm thankful for all the kind seniors (including my batch ppl of cos) who included us girls... so what's left of the girls population here? very little senior girls is what i've got to say. mostly couldn't get a room, so ended up not being able to stay in hall. just now the blasting music makes me feel like i'm in Mambo night (according to what meiyue said, it's mambo night in zouk.. cos i don't frequent clubs, so i won't know.. haha) with retro music and dance moves from the guys, and lots of alcohol sponsored by terence, i drank 2 shots and some beer for entertainment and fun at the bbq... =)
played with water and sprayed water using the hose... haha.. feels like FOC all over again... so fun! it brought back some nice memories... ended up with a cracked pot and some scratches (but everybody is still fine... haha) lots of broken glasses and i don't know what else. but seriously, everyone had fun! pretty much fun towards the end... esp the spraying water part (ppl spray me with water, so i ran around the block with meiyue splashing the ppl who sprayed me... hahaaa) and also the getting to know the 3rd floor freshies part... they're pretty friendly and make good neighbours! yay.. =)
and apparently it's also an emo night... so many ppl are feeling down and emo... inevitably made me feel a little on the down side too... but i tell myself that because my friends are feeling down, the more i should be strong, so that i can try to bring a smile back onto their faces....
the sun is rising soon.. and it's soon gonna be the start of a brand new day! hopefully it's gonna be a better day.. for me and for the ppl around me..
make things right...

when droplets of water hit the window
the little droplets which form on the pane
where many small droplets join to form big ones
and the big ones will just roll down the pane
to form little streams of water
and then flow down back to the ground
~~~
i always love the rain
love to watch it
to feel it...
it's such a nice feeling...

i want more shopping!!!
but hor.. i shopped so much i think i'm pretty much broke now... though i still have a million and one things i wanna buy... like that bikini set form esprit (it cost 47 instead of 70 now!), that white top i tried on from bugis street, and the black/dark silver havaianas slim!!!! roar... i need more $$ definitely..
but anyway... i bought a pair of skinny jeans (though i don't really look that skinny in it) and a pair of shorts! haha.. that explains where my money goes.. but hey.. i was shopping at bugis street! the total damage could have been twice as bad if i were to be shopping in orchard! lol..
and getting back to the 47 bucks bikini i saw at esprit, u've no idea how tempted i was to get that!!!! i was really on the verge of buying it!! i was being "po ma" and all... so i msged geri and zhusiling to get some opinion... and dear ol zhusiling adviced me to use my ass to think for once, and just get it!!!! while geri is on the more practical side, and ask me to think if i have extra cash first... haha... i was so torn! i wanna buy it so badly! it's so pretty!!!
but........ i didn't buy it eventually... no $$ to spare. with the extra 47 bucks, i could have bought more tees, or a pair of havaianas, or more food, or a few more movies... yea...
indulge in the music making while time allows...it feels good to be able to enjoy playing a piece of music. to be able to have my own interpretation of the music i play... to feel happy when it's a jovial piece, to feel equally emo when it's a sad one... to be able to indulge in it...
like sword and the crown - i didn't like the song the first time we played it. but i changed my views on it after playing it a few times... it first started with two trumpets playing on each side of the stage, giving a "we're going for war" feel. den the music proceed to a fast and steady tempo of what sounds like horses galloping... like as if everything is going to start taking place - the fight for the crown. it then slowed down to a soothing alto flute solo, with a pretty majestic sounding horn tune, and then back to the alto flute solo... making it sound like the war is finally ending. and then there's this super majestic sounding beginning of a III movement with a timpani soli, and trumpet fanfare, sounding like triumph, like as if the crown is seized, and the feel of a victory at war.
it's super nice.
here's a brief description of the piece:
http://edwardgregson.com/works.php?PAGE=DS&WORK=00020seems like what i felt is pretty accurate. and at least i think i'm not playing the piece not feeling the way it's supposed to be. haha
henry V - it's a theme song from the movie Henry V. check this out..
http://ntusb.blogspot.com/2007/08/henry-v-theme.htmldisney fantasy - there's this medley of disney songs.. like "someday my prince will come" (which really made me feel that someday, my prince will really come...) and the part playing "who's afraid of the big bad wolf" makes me so up n chirpy! i love the disney songs!
various moods and emotional feeling to every song i get to play... it's good to be able to feel... sometimes i really can't bear to let go...
but all good things come to an end..or perhaps i made the choice to end it this time round...

while love can bring much happiness to a person
it can cause a great deal of hurt too.
如果爱一个人那么痛苦
为何还要爱?
爱,
有起有落.
so.. `love...
what is it?anyway... today's band prac was quite funny... there were 3 hornies freshie... and so some of the seniors (like me) sacrificed my horn for them. and so i went to take another old horn as i'm asked to play with the freshies...
to my shock discovery, the black leather thing strapping to the horn where our hand is placed to hold the horn is moulding and mossing real bad!! and so priscilla and i decided to take it out. to out 2nd shock discovery, the horn itself is mossing and moulding even more!!!!
in much attempt to try and wipe the moss away, it just wouldn't clear. so i resorted to wrapping tissue around that part of the horn... poor horn looks injured with some sort of bandage on it... but ziqian managed to clear the moss! now it's a healthy horn again! =)
time will heal the broken hearted...shhhh......

time check: 3.40
i should be in my sleep right now, getting enough rest for tmr's 8.30 tutorial. but instead, i spent the last 30 mins trying to get rid of a damn beetle which flew onto my table while i was doing my tutorial!!!!
-_-
stupid beetle.. if not for it, i would have completed my tutorial (it was 30 mins!!!).........
this was what i did.....
1. try to calm myself down. i'm trying my hardest not to scream out loud as my roomie just fell asleep.
2. try to convince myself that i can get rid of this beetle on my own, without having to wake my roomie up!
3. took an old (not used for drinking) cup and cup the beetle in it...
4. beetle began to fly frantically giving this loud buzzing sound which i totally find it scary!
5. and so the whole process of calming myself down started again........
-breathe in.... breathe out.... breathe in.... out....
6. placed a foolscap pad under the cup so that i can transport it outside.
7. thought it wasn't hard enough, so i added my stats book below... and to make sure the cup won't be lifted when i move it, i scotch-taped the cup to the book. (it's silly i know.. but i'm paranoid!!!) whahahhaa..
8. try to wait for the beetle to use up its energy from flying and knocking itself at the transparent glass cup... so that it'll stay still when i move it and not freak me out..
9. finally moved it out... took it to another ledge (away from my room of cos), and removed the cup.
10. run back to my room and shut the door.
the beetle is free! and so am i! hahahhaaa.. silly n animated indeed... but i'm damn scared of insects!!!
as for now, back to stats tutorial... it's due tmr!

into the 9th year of life in band..
and i'm just about to leave.
probably my enthusiam is used up... probably i'm getting old... probably i can no longer afford as much time...
or probably all these are just an excuse for me to get away... ...
seriously.. band is taking up a lot of my time. it's 3 weeks to concert, and nearly everyday has got something to do with band matters. next monday and tuesday is for manning the band booth at the CCA fair. i've got packed days on those 2 days, so can't help much there. mon and wed nights are for band pracs. and the whole of saturday as well. the 2nd thursday from now there's a band comm meeting, and next friday there's a lunchtime concert. band camp stretches from friday till sunday, and there's another friday taken up for band prac just before the concert day.
13 14 15 16
17 18 1920 21
22 23 24
25 26
27 28
29 30
31 1dates in bold are band days (or have things on related to band). i know i'm doing very little already. i know there're a lot of other ppl doing so much more than me. i admit that my enthusiam is really dying off, and probably isnt doing my job as well as i should be.
but there's one thing i have to say, and that is i never got tired of playing my instrument. music IS a form of relaxation, and playing in the band in indeed something i really enjoy. imagine those time where i can down all the stress, and immerse myself in the music we make...
after being kept busy with band for so many years, i decided that it's time i take a break from it. maybe because the many practices and duties is wearing me out... perhaps i'll go back to play for leisure after taking a short break... i don't know... but 1 thing i'm certain, and that is Mnemonic is going to be my last concert for now. oh what an ept name for the concert! haha.
after having said so much, i'm still going to promote my last concert!! hahaha

i seem to have missed a lot of good movies... movies like spiderman 3, shrek 3, oceans 13, transformers, and lots more... and now... i'm about to miss harry potter if no one ask me out to watch it soon... actually come to think of it.. i don't really have alot of movie kakis... i either watch with the sq ones, or those hall organised ones... but lately half the sq ones is not in spore (even if so, they would probably have watched them with their own partners), and zhusiling isn't really into harry potter... so yea... perhaps i'll rent the dvd for it some time later...
and when was the last time i stepped into a cinema? i can't really remember..
my sis and zhusiling was asking what show i was going watch yesterday... when i told them i'm going to watch "cash back", they were pretty shock at how i didnt watch any of those shows which i really wanted to, and instead, go watch some ulu show like cash back.. i only have 1 thing to say.. cash back is a really nice show... and i believe i would have enjoyed it as much as i would enjoy harry potter (if i watched it)... =)
yesterday met up with zhusiling for a voucher day! hahahaa... why a voucher day? cos i managed to buy my 100 bucks worth of topshop clothes! many many thanx to my ntusb darlings for the gift card! i also went to make a new pair of specs with a 100 bucks voucher i found at home... hahahaa... hence a voucher day!
headed down to PS to meet zhihao and grace! and we watched cashback! awesome movie!! though it had lots of nudity scenes, but i think that the main focus isn't on that anyway... the show has a really special way in telling a person's life from his point of view. from an artist point of view.
makes me crave for the ability to stop time... to stop time and capture the moment i love so much.. probably also to have the time to stop and look around, and see things i nv would have the chance to see with time ticking so fast...
"from her eyes, i'm able to see the world..."
his (the lead actor, cast name: ben) ability to draw.. to capture everything so well... even including the complex human expression... and that look in the eyes... the look that tells everything...
ben eventually had an exhibition by the name:
"A Frozen Exhibition"
of which are all the portraits he drew when time came to a stand still. all of it are drawings of the same girl (the lead actress, cast name: sharon). it's simply so
wow...
and the last scene.. where ben held sharon's hand and run through the snow when time stopped once again... where the snow froze in midair, with no one else but them, standing in the empty street, having the time all to themselves....
i wish i have that chance too.....
the love that is hiding between the seconds of your life

there was once a friend who lives in hall 15..
who always argues with me over who sees who back to hall when it's late in the night...
and usual conversations like:
"i walk with you to your hall la.. so late already.. it's not safe.."
"you also girl ma.. not safe for me then safe for you meh? no need to walk me back lah..."
"not very far la.. let me walk you back.."
"no need la..."
"need la.."
"really no need la..."
and so we eventually settled for the center fire hydrant along the long stretch of path between hall 10 and hall 15... that's where we usually part when we hang out at each other's place till late at night...
and i quite miss those days now that i start to recall and talk about it again...
i realise i quite miss the ol days with you geri...

screw the shuttle service!
roar... now, instead of having the convenience of the school shuttle bus stopping right in front of NIE blk 7, it stops at only canteen A. and what does that mean? that means that i have to walk a long way to my classes from canteen A (the only stop for NIE students).
anyway, looking on the bright side, cal 1 lecture isn't that bad as we have a new lecturer. so far so good... and i hope the rest of the days will be good as well...
it's only the second day of school! i gotta hold on and push on!
and history repeats itself...but why has it gotta be me again?

dearest jill porkie is moving back to hall 10 blk 50!!!! into the room next to mine!! my mood was a little dampened when she told me that she's moving to single room in 52... but no longer!! yay!
i'm so looking forward to the endless chats at night, where we do silly stuff together, where we still have each other's company! haha...
this sem is going to be a good sem! today is the first day of school, and everything is so far so good! i enjoyed all my lesson (erm.. maybe except for tang's cal 2), but still, i promise myself i'll try to accept calculus, and i'll really try to do that!

wakeboarding is way cool!
went wakeboarding with zhihao, ben, ernest and ben's friend (ex tkss student too!) marcus. haha... i have to say that the world is really small! or rather, the world is big, but singapore is small.. hahahaha... cos marcus's friend is staying in the same blk same floor as me in hostel! and he used to stay there too! hall 10 blk 50 yea! haha and he knows zhihao's roomie is think, and him and zhihao are somehow linked too! lol... what a small singapore...
wakeboarding is definitely not as easy as it seems or sound! cos i have such a hard time trying even to stand! couldn't stand after lots of try in the water for the first time.. but after getting into the water for a second time, i finally managed to stand... or a few seconds at least... before splashing into the water again... hahahha... but's super fun i have to say. =) it's not a cheap sport indeed! so have to control myself and not crave to go anytime soon... =p
settlers and harry's with hongxing is fun! love hanging out with the hx ppl... it's always so relaxing and enjoyable!
sch is gonna start soon! and i'm all geared up for it! i'm gonna find my source of motivation and start the semester right.

the campfire ended with a blast!
what a huge finale, dancing and nodding to clubbing music at the bus depot/carpark opposite yunnan garden! haha... it wasn't the best place, but it's a place not bad indeed! we had such a blasting time! with entertaining performances and rocking music... with great music and great company!
back tracking to what i've done in the camp for the past 4 days (including today)... had pool games and telematch in the afternoon.. the telematch was madness... seniors throwing flour at each other and pouring water and any bursting bomb bags at anybody within sight! it was damn fun no doubt!
last night (wed night) was fright night at the dragon trail. my role was a ghost to scare the freshies by activating a pulley thing, where a head (stuffed with i don't know what) will be lowered all of a sudden in front of them. it was tiring, but entertaining as well!! hhaa... i was a ghost for a second time this time round.. (first time being last yr, where i was acting as a child ghost hiding inside a cupboard in a room in changi chalet...) hahahaa...
as for yesterday morning, we had lots of games in sentosa palawan beach! sunburnt!! roar... and i was dunk in the sea!!!! all of a sudden, i was grabbed and carried to the sea and dunked... roarrrrr!! hahaa... and stupid jasen had so much fun dunking sooooo many ppl...
mon n tues didn't really join them, as i had some teaching assistantship stuff to wrap up back in tk... so i had to travel from the west to the east, and then back to the west again... at least it was a pretty good closuer, and i guess that everything for teaching assistantship is ok! =) at last!
all in all, i had a great time! it didnt really start off right cos the most of the third floor girls are not around... but i guess that i'm finally fitting in again.. kept hanging around meiyue and avril.. guess it's cos we're the very few girls left... haha...
it makes me wanna be a freshie again... back to the times where i can play and play... where we treat everyday as if we're still having orientation... where we live like as if we don't have school the next day... but oh well... i have to still face the fact that i have only 2 yrs left... and after that will be never ending pile of work.. teaching is never easy.. but i have gotta find ways to make it enjoyable!!
wakeboarding on saturday morn... hope all goes well!!
rest.... rest my tired eyes and body...
