sgcc

2009-09-13T01:48:00.002+08:00

whoo sgcc's over lol. haha http://apps.facebook.com/sgcc-meeba/

last saturday.
investiture! i woke up early okay! but then i was still stupidly late ><
never mind i'm just stupid. performance was horrible on my part.
then my feet had several blisters from running in shoes that werent mine (they were like damn small) then when i go up to shake hand receive cert that time i wasnt wearing shoes LOL
ah well i was just stupid.
dont talk too much about it.
i feel guilty still.

monday.
was supposed to go for iHope concert rehearsals etc early in the morning, but went for sgcc (some infocomm game making competition) lousy wastetime workshop instead. ok so when i reached there joseph yangterng (maybe josiah) wanted to SLAUGHTER me. haiz. cos they were supposed to be performing 2 pieces but had no rehearsals or pracs or even scores yet. and i provided them with simply worse than NONSENSE scores. >< and joseph had to use a lousy mouthpiece with a lousy saxophone. then kenneth could only arrive just before the actual concert. walao then i felt so guilty lor... after everything again.

well it's over won't talk too much about it. haha at first i thought this was going to turn out quite bad, and its gonna be my fault. but omg they were simply great. as in really the audience was spontaneously clapping to their beat, then afterwards i heard ppl talking about it saying, "wa RI quite good". like woah i was like damn happy for them, but even still i couldnt help them in any way ><

haha afterwards kenneth was hilarious, during intermission went to audience then started playing joseph's sax hahaha. say what "i will blow you away with my mesmerising tone!" and "i'm a virtuoso at the saxophone!" hahahha wtf damn funny

so the night ended with wanting to go eat icecream but then no money or something. as at 10+ people group (RIMB + RIGE + RV + RICO people wow)

tuesday-friday
sgcc was at nanyang poly, at yio chu kang there. haha was quite fun la go there whole day chui leng qi, then the game was like actually complete at the end. even have time for PHP+MySQL :D there was a chocolate vending machine omggg! haha then every day go there buy chocolate, but quite glitch one time give free chocolate then another time eat up one buck D:

and was fun to poke fun at matthew SOH. :D

thursday.
sleepover at joseph's house, didn't tell parents until 8pm LOL. at first arrived at 7pm, ask joseph come fetch me he dowan, go up to his house front door ring bell tell maid i am joseph's friend then she zao back into the house -.- then the dog was like at the gate there? its a damn big but tamed dog btw.

then i go try open the gate, and boom the dog just rushed out -.- WTF i didnt know how to catch a dog LOL then i tried calling "come here!" -.- and then it just ran faster and faster and started barking and disturbing all the neighbour's dogs! then it started coming back! like wtf damn scary sia the maid was damn far behind running after it. DAMN PAISEH SIA. go disturb the whole neighbourhood then trouble the maid until liddat, dont dare come already.

after that when i arrived we tried to play risk with luo as my amazing advisor (who resigned at like the first round HAHA) and in the end i had wonderful troops. like move all your troops to alaska (when my capital is in south africa and all my troops around africa) and then later madagascar -.- but boring la in the end we went on to play jigsaw, then had 4 missing pieces D: was a newly opened pack leh!

ok ok i should have been doing sgcc at that time whoops. but anyway stayed up till 5am to like try to do php -.- which was actually quite fruitful cos i like learnt the basic syntax during that time (still, was too late). oh well anyway next morning couldnt wake at all kept sleeping even when joseph kept urging me to wake up -.- haha then go macs for breakfast i was sleeping even while eating hahaha just realised how stupid i would have looked ><

ah anyway this hols i havent done any homework. yeah! :D

time to dread the sunday when i realise that i havent found an NGO.

hmm

2009-09-05T01:30:00.000+08:00

okay actually investiture is in like 9 hours time.. ;_; sia lah very scared cannot play properly sia. sec 3s liao must leave some impact during our pieces ><. oh and i haven't written my cards for my section yet.. 1am already.

anyway today was holympics and it was damn lame. first of all the interhouse science challenge emcee is damn screwed up. you know, like screwed up hurhurhur -.- then after that we could even go to class play plants vs zombies for 2 hours, and later the telematch there was like nothing to watch siol. everyone just stone in the hall one.. planning a bit the fail hor.

okay what else. oh today was HPC quest finals. can't believe we even got into top 8 lol. well thats all to it we never win anything, not even commendation prize. hahahaha. presentation was joseph solo whole presentation i just manipulate the comp, then after it everyone was like saying the presentation was very clear, very good. haha in another words (HAHA) it means it was oversimplified sia. nevermind it was still good la, at least we're the only people who never use powerpoint haha.

oh and there was this group hahaha from nus high when we arrive then got this guy sitting in the row in front of us. haha then he look at me then say hi like i know him liddat hahaha wth. so then he started talking about how he like RI uniform, you spill fish head curry (or sth) then epic win -.- hahahhaa retarded. then during their presentation he was talking about his ingenious idea! floodfill! hahahhaaha it was like whole room just burst into laughter and the other group members were looking at him in disbelief. haha then later at the end of the whole thing he come shake my hand congratulate me say we of same standard (cos they also never win anything mah) hahahhaha wth lolll. at least got to know one retarded guy today haha. oh and we met ang there at hpc LOL small world sia lah

well today was okay la, but its last day of the term but i not happy seh. dunno why.

okay boys

...

2009-08-11T23:03:00.000+08:00

i dont want to care anymore. i really dont. but why am i tied down by this overmassive burden, that i am held responsible to so many goddamn people.

i cant truly smile anymore. whatever you see, i tell you, its all just a veneer. an ineffective way to rid myself of these troubles. just for a while.

cannot sleep.

2009-08-08T23:13:00.000+08:00

okay double post but i just wasted time reading archives of other ppls blogs. and oh my how people change. but then i realised that ive been taking relationships (with friends of course) too lightly. like, its amazing how one friend can be such a good friend but the other (me) can be oblivious and even take him for granted. i mean, its like my actions towards my friends are solely based on instinct. anyhow treat relationships. i never really thought about it before (if i did it would be the superficial instinct kind of thinking), and perhaps i should start now. relationships are really not as simple as they seem. OKAY i mean, i dunno how to say it, i was thinking about it just now. maybe i shouldnt post this even. but whatever. maybe cos im not taking the initiative. maybe cos im not treating people the same way as they have treated me. maybe im still just too selfish. (rule of three)

i think i've hurt some people in this process. :(

and i think i need a self-help book now.

(guess which person's blog i've been reading?)

lolololol

2009-08-08T22:44:00.000+08:00

...

so damn bored dowan to sleep. sgcc was tiring.

but hols were fun from the 3rd week (heh no more internship) then kept going out with the 2M ppl/RIMB ppl/etc it was much better than my last year june hols (staying at home to play mario 64 on project64 and coding visualbasic till the next morning LOL). but then this year never do homework. haiyohhh.

internship-.-, heartbeat, band, etc.

2009-06-18T00:02:00.001+08:00

okay got to start blogging properly haha. no proper posts this hols yet lol.

internship urghhh.

ehh waste 2 weeks of time nia. of course its fruitful and everything but somehow its just not that worth it to waste half of your hols for just the experience and learning. when you can do so much more lor. AND joseph dont go suanning me again haiyohhh ><

of course but i have to post good stuff in my internship blog heh xD yeah but its like all the way at BOOM LAY so i have to like stay with my aunt and grandfather for 2 weeks. and then wake up everyday at what, 7.30? but go office can sleep siol, aircon damn shiok hahahaha XD

okays stop talking about boring stuff. =)

ponning internship one day lols.

if my boss sees this i seriously die sia. after going for band in the morning on friday of the first week then went to subway with joseph philemon and they were like persuading me to pon internship haha. cos its like damn late liao go all the way to boon lay also work a while only. so after lots of hesitation i followed them to zoneX in amk hub where we played too much of that basketball hoops game haha. and air hockey. and philemon thinking which is the most profitable game haha! was really much more fun than going for internship hee. but its still wrong, right =(

heartbeat.

hahahas was on last day of internship so i had to rush, so my aunt fetch me, then go to the king albert park macs go meet raphael and philley =D haha then da bao macs faster go hwachong eat. haha then reached there, met ye oon and his friend while eating haha. then philley found someones purse/wallet on the floor then we started emptying everything out (to find out whose it is la not steal okay!) there was like a hell lot of money inside but also loads of crap hahaha! probably shouldnt be like posting this but heck, there was pieces of torn up ang pao O_o haha and lots of random cards. found some name on some card, but eh! the ezlink card is a different person lol? oh yeah afterwards justin dropped at the wrong stop so he had to walk from HCI to HCJC eeek. haha but show havent start.

hahaha so raphael said he thinks his sister knows the person. then walao damn qiao look inside the heartbeat booklet see her name on the credits there haha! and then we all go outside then started throwing the purse around cos we all paiseh ask the ticketing ppl whose one is it. but that was super stupid hahaha. in the end they make me ask then happens i asked the person itself (so qiao again?) then i said we found your wallet and she like O_O stared at me for 2 secs then started going omg and everything. haha.

okay on to the concert itself. their audi not that big x) its like 1.5 times the size of our LT, our audi still bigger heh. and much more comfy to sleep haha. started the concert with BELLYDANCING!:D LOL

hahahha omg and it was so damn hilarious/gross i really dunno which word to use. hahaha but bellydancer appeared 4 times in the repertoire/something lol? hmm yeah but HC music and dance was good. RJ also =D but funk faction PWNS ALLLL. hahaha yeahh it was so damn nice. hahaha yeah and there was a filler, guitaristsinger lol.

next yongdabombz birthday celeb haha. basically i chanced upon it cos i went to toa payoh early early in the morning cos i supposed to replace someone. yeah i was supposed to erm you know take charge of the street sales volunteers, but happens that that day got no volunteers. T_T_T

so it was like 9 in the morning i really didnt want to go home so early eek. then met sean and gao outside toa payoh library lols. so 12 days after forever hearts' birthday (that day) sean gao sudeep were going to celebrate his birthday without him knowing it. haha. and i just crashed oops xD so they were supposed to go to tp library to "do" ss project while me and gao were supposed to go "eat breakfast". haha they bought him pencilcase which i didnt share the cost for obviously (i just crashed) so they had some idea about stuffing popper confetti into the pencilcase... >< okay. but it was fun yongxin was either damn blur or trying to act damn blur, didnt realise that we were treating him to pizza hut, and that we put a pencilcase in his bag after he was made to go toilet. and so after that went to watch ghost of girlfriends past which was really quite funny. haha. but i still crashed. x(

and swine flu case in RJ!! aiyeeee have to walk so far to school every day!!

band: dunno where i posted up to liao, but attendance damn bad sia Dx have to really push myself to practice cos its really not that far from the concert and investiture. grah.

infocomm: we die liao lor. sgcc is due in how many days omg. wait didnt they have a workshop today on actionscript. a bit last minute hor.

inspire: harkk im damn fail dont ask.

moor dramafeste: rehearsal was just yesterday, nothing happened haha.

i think im putting up these small little things to convince myself that im super retarded and crazy enough to undertake so much commitments. and i havent even talked about academics like wth is this year gonna be a repeat of last year? dont wanna be emo for damn long at the end of the year again and still not change. haiz.

gotta enjoy the holidays while it lasts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSEPH! hahahas

hahahahahaha

2009-06-14T22:32:00.001+08:00

hahahahahahahahahahhahaahahaha;D

nothing to do. past few days were fun. hee

responsibilities

2009-06-05T20:16:00.002+08:00

responsibilities.

when im irresponsible im not the only one who gets hurt.

some things are better left unsaid.

woweee

2009-05-29T23:03:00.000+08:00

school has ended. wow and i didn't notice. -.-

ah wells half a year has passed. looking back, those goals i set for myself aren't achieved at all. perhaps he's right. i'm not putting in the right kind of effort, or i don't persevere. whatever it is i seriously have to grow up. before its too late.

and i've been super immature, not thinking about the effects of my actions. it can be as simple as asking a question, but in that way i could be seen as super irritating. and that's a really late realisation on my part. i realise i tend to misuse the trust of other people too often. like keeping those super scandalous secrets (whoops haha). and other stuff i shouldn't say. i have to grow up grrrrraaaaaaaaaaaah

nah im not going to talk too much, this isn't meant to be an emo post. but i gotta start changing myself.

somehow i can predict i will be rushing all my work on the last night of june hols. and my academics still screwed up as ever. like how i want to do everything yet i give up halfway for everything. and then im stuck with so much stuff to do, to improve, to complete. and yet i remain indifferent.

:( why must the semester end like that. at least i had so much fun during this first half of the year.

nevermind i hope i can use this 4 weeks to prove myself. to change once and for all.

THANKS EVERYONE!

2009-05-24T22:39:00.001+08:00

hahahahahaha

haha

2009-05-07T18:47:00.001+08:00

sia lah.

yesterday went for rj syf. gold. good job.

only 6 ppl from ri/rgs allowed in.. so i didnt go in. lol. stupiddddd. met them gathering outside the tuning room (i think) when we entered TRCC.

results time, they announced, band no. 10, raffles junior college..... gold. claps, no one cheering at the start, then someone started cheering to keep everyone's spirits up, but the majority wasnt moved. deja vu.

then we exit the TRCC hall, rjcsb ppl came out after us, some people were crying, the rest were just sad. oh my. wanted to congratulate some of my seniors, cheer them up a bit, but i didnt do anything.

outside, there was a really big group of people from some band. they were cheering, cheering their spirits out. and its really sad, you see the band standing next to them. they were all in tears. i think they got silver, cant recognise green band uniform. almost every single of them standing there. they were like just, just looking at them. in tears. when you see that you really cant help but feel sad too. deja vu yet again.

i wonder why, why is it that i can never experience the joy from syf results (though this one not even ours). 3 years ago, cat high bronze. that time i cried. now my last hope for that joy is in jc already. but still, i enjoy band. why? the process. its really unseen by other people in other ccas, and yes their processes are also unseen by us. each of us enjoy our own ccas. and thats the way to go.

hahaha why so emo!

--------------------------

then before that was the stupid learning journey, went to labrador park and fort canning.. yeah wasnt all that fun haha.

reached school late. lol. forgot to bring thermometer.. stupid 1 hour talk on singapore history =.=

cant remember anything already lol. battle box, 9 metres underground, phone no reception ._. but a bit fun lar to be in a box

zzz ended 1 hour late leh super hungry afterwards.

--------------------------------

inspector chong let us listen to music in class today hahahaha! "when people hear the name inspector chong, all the criminals will run away!" LOL

damn retarded hahaha

life

2009-05-04T22:59:00.001+08:00

so.. quite a few ppl have been saying that school life has no purpose already, you yearn for lessons to be over quickly so you can go home earlier, then you go home dunno do what. lol. then weekends are so-called yearned for too, and then nothing fun nothing constructive is done over the weekend. whatthegauravmanektikforceofattraction

other than fun in class and "fun" in band (sometimes, therefore the quote) and other random happenings somehow life has turned emo T_T really cant find a purpose in life now man. what do we go to school for anyway?

shit im damn confused. too confused to write everything else on my mind.

-----------------------------

okay at band we got new songs, a bit hard and challenging yet fun too. like disco party III hahaha 8D only practised scenes from a comedy though. heehee

and all the best to RJ for SYF omg. im going down after learning journey with some other ppl, i think with section and a few other sec 3s. sec 4s confirm go one lah haha

hahaha!! omg damn nostalgic lerhz!!

uhuh.

2009-04-23T23:10:00.001+08:00

sian. too sian to type out all that i wanted to say. -.-

i dunno, why is it sometimes i totally lose my purpose of life. everyday the same mundane process, wake up, go school, go cca, come home, sleep. when its not getting any more interesting than whats happening in class. i guess if i wasnt in a class as FUN as 3P i would probably totally lose interest in school totally. its like you dont have anything to look forward to the next day nowadays. syf is over, band pracs are like halted for now, and then everyday you come home so early, nothing to do so you sleep. -.-

besides that, when you decide to involve yourself in something making you stupidly stressed out and busy every day, and you have no time for your grades its like, you know... like you simply dont feel like you're enjoying your life at all. i have no idea how to explain it.. but as you progress thru sec 3 its like life becomes so much more complex for you (or at least for me) then theres so much stuff to worry about. why worry so much man. hate it.

i hate stress. and its been quite a while. longer than you think. ):

class deco

2009-04-20T22:28:00.001+08:00

hmm today stayed back for class deco. haha fun lehz. our theme for 3P this year is: POSEIDON'S PUBLIC PURPLE PINATA PARTY!! HEEHEEE:D:D:D:D

lol though currently now it looks totally crappy, have to make the poseidon throne then at least something. GRAH judging is from this week and we started today LOL.

wahahahahahaha then during dinner was super retarded. with bumsoo terry and zhiyuan, then zhiyuan started about on something like when he was young he used to get super amused by putting a pencil between his lips and chin, then all 3 of us SIMULTANEOUSLY put it under our chins LOL! then we looked at each other and laughed SUPER LOUD at how retarded we all were LOL HAHAHAHA!! then again! he say he show his friends, then they start putting it between upper lip and nose, and we foolishly did the same AGAIN HAHAHA super retards in ri uniform:D:D

GOOD LUCK TO RICO!! :D

HUNDRED

2009-04-11T14:26:00.002+08:00

100th post :D

lol if i posted one every day from the ten days before syf my 100th post would be the one one syf itself. lolz

anyways i just need to buck up. two major "projects" over (thinkquest and syf), so theres more time available. no doubt thinkquest theres always the report, and theres the showcase thingy on 30 apr, so need some prac also. haiz.

better do my work otherwise i sleep late again tmr -.-''

shit

2009-04-11T02:55:00.001+08:00

omg shit what happened to all my goals, all the stuff i said about striving from this year? what am i doing?

at least now TQ and SYF are over, i get more time. but that doesnt automatically redeem for myself better grades. oh shit remind me of my PR1.

haiz. and what am i doing on the com at this hour.

i noticed i havent talked much about friendships on this blog.. but i think lasting friendships (not the BGR kind) are those where both parties involved both learn to give and take to one another, not just say fun fun one and hang out often. its more than just the surface. oh wells reminded me of how antisocial i was last time (no, dont argue). never mind its all in the past. its for us to learn and make good now =)

why am i saying all this. what the heck tate LOLS.

woah

2009-04-10T01:47:00.002+08:00

finally got batch blog. i procrastinate in making blogskin. it still sucks anyway.

http://paedophilemonade.blogspot.com/

whoopee!

silver

2009-04-08T22:50:00.002+08:00

yes its over. though it may be a silver - not that im fretting. i believe most of us have no regrets. we did our best up on stage, on 2.30pm at SCH. yeah we certainly did. played our hearts out and made everyone in the audience feel our music. most importantly we ENJOYED ourselves up on stage. we loved playing the polka parts. mr oura would get so hyper making us all high hehe. yup.

nothing more needs to be said. you may think all im saying now isnt substantial - but what i can say is that we DO deserve more than a silver (im not complaining). not that it matters anymore. what matters is the process of more than 5-6 months of hard work we have put in, as well as what we have put up on stage. we have done our job - to make music. finished. and done well.

and one more thing. rimb does not live upon syf. we do not so-called play music, for the sake of SYF, biannually. we MAKE music. we are performers. entertainers. MUSICIANS. and our job is none other than to make music. to entertain.

ah well, nothing more needs to be said. if you're from rimb you'll probably understand this from all we have learnt from all the pep talks and from the actual process we all had with each other. if you're not, then sorry the feelings cant be expressed in words. or my english fail cannot express chu lai.

once again. we are not a silver band. we are not even just a gold band. we are in fact a band of brothers - is that a colour of a medal? no right.

P.S. yup anyway go read benni's blogpost. really agree.

one

2009-04-07T20:33:00.000+08:00

yup its tomorrow. in 18 hours (as of time of writing). rimb we can do it. play our hearts out - we dont care about gold (with or without honours) silver or bronze, we are just gonna make music out there. for our fellow J1 seniors, for rgs (whos coming down tmr?), for the people who have so kindly helped us, for the other schools, for the judges, and for mr oura. and most importantly for ourselves. yup we are gonna storm the hall man (quote johnson).

no more regrets the moment we step up on the stage with the lights shining brightly down on us. and see the man standing tall in front of all of us on that stage. the very man who has brought us this far - can see his smiling face, the shine of his hair (he just dyed his hair), and yes we are all not going to let him down. for he has brought us this far. just for us.

lets go, rimb. we can do it for sure.

:D:D

------------------------------------------------

now for the not so serious part of my post:

yay hahha tmr going to wear band U to school... so cool then only got one lesson second lesson is hardly anything. yeahh hahaha chem nia, with chong han guang :D

ahh anyways after that we going batch outing hahas. so that means tmr's bag will be:
- school tie
- blazer
- pencil case
- chem notes/stuff in a file
- civilian clothes (for outing)

soo got so little stuff to bring heh. =DD

ah wells yup.

we should we must we can we will.

with blood & sweat
with heart & soul
with pride & honour

no regrets. 2009 syf.

banzai! (lol whats that mean anyway)

two

2009-04-06T22:29:00.003+08:00

well, todays concert wasnt as good as expected..

no mood to talk. just gotta say: all we have is just one more practice. its up to us how we want to use our time - after that its only syf next. theres no need to get scared, just be confident that you can put in your best. start now. yes.

whether or not you want to storm the hall on the very 8th of april, its all up to you. yes, we're all confident that mr oura can bring us to where we want. but its us ourselves - that will ultimately decide where we will go. and we have to do that together.

aaah damn it chinese compo -.-

---------------------------------------------------------------------

shit wtf. i cant stand generation gaps no longer. no offence, seriously. just got to get it off my chest, when you have to talk that way. you know, talk that way. its like totally mistrust of me and my ability to discern. i know what im doing, for goodness sake. if youre concerned about me, fine. just dont overdo it and get all cocked up and singaporean. D:<

three

2009-04-05T21:35:00.002+08:00

well.. nothing much to blog about.. just that when syf is in 3 days you know you better buck up tmr. like really. last last really last proper prac before syf.

pressure. (from myself lolx) =(

four

2009-04-04T23:34:00.001+08:00

man.. was late for band again today. stupid stupid stupid. haha anyway nvm la

today got the ntu ppl come down tutor us. quite good la our clar tutor he taught us some stuff about tuning Bb, low Bb, high G, open G the four notes method (although heard abt similar thing in cat high zz) then also got like open G if sharp can close all the way to the top joint two lower holes. aiyah anyway was quite okay la today, just not good enough. its a freaking 2 more practices OMG. and one of them wont be fruitful (tuesday just a bit nia)

oh ya today mr oura gave 2 clar mouthpieces + ligature (i think new?) to brandon and andy. i tried a B45 + that usual pro ligature i dunno what brand walao eh good dey. but then i not deserving of it anyway. andy keep trying to give me zz. (man i should have taken.. hahaha jk la)

:/ wishing for all the best siol

five

2009-04-03T22:17:00.001+08:00

waaa wanted to post one post everyday from the day of that below post... nvm i guess i'll split this post into five. :D hahaha nvm

anyway... got lots of stuff to talk about.. lets start

--------------------------
Thursday/Friday morning:

OMGLOL stay in school till 3AM LOL HAHAHAHA

well glad thinkquest was over, was basically chionging it from 2pm to 3am next morning in the com lab. wow surprised we could actually stay.. wei han's/kesmond's/kevinong's/etc team was also there with kelvin yap. lol. then aileen chor and lorraine wang were (i think also got) also awake till 3.

siala damn lucky we uploaded at like 2.30am, then closed at 2.55am. too bad though, the main banner got some linking problem i want to reupload was 1min late or so. haiz. not too bad, since i actually managed to fix ie7 display problem in 5 mins (i was kinda exaggerating when i told joseph 5mins at first lol). not too good either, lo-fi version not there, since have to redo and everything. and then also got some minor changes which mr yap changed for us in msword we didnt transfer over. also got no flash intro. haiz over liao talk what talk D:

just kinda regret falling asleep on my com dead in the night (actually i just start work that time) on many occasions when i intended to finish up some stuff. then the next morning i will be like aaaaaah omgshitaileenchorwantstoseeittoday-kinda feeling lawl

nevermind! im content with whatever is done.. wont care about the outcome liao, cos it was really the best i could do. i guess. meh. =)

-------------------------

Today (concert):

hmm today was kinda wasted, since prev night slept 2 hours only, and was simply damn tired. yep. mr oura talked about his experience about the bloody hand timpani again, where he forgot all his pain during the concert and simply played his heart out. hmm in our context, since we've been having pracs almost every day, we all tired. true yah, just for this 5 more days, tolerate it, and put in your best every time.

oh and fledermaus beginning mr oura said must be HAPPYYY:DDD hahahaha

mm on a more serious note.. i know i have my faults, and i know i havent been proactive in doing much about it as of late. i promise i will. this time i mean it. its kinda inevitable in the end if i dont do so im gonna be sl most definitely already. thats why. and and and. i cant believe it its 5 days left.... and it still doesnt feel like it. gotta start feeling extreme heat from my own self, and not just pressure from the band. i have no idea why.. its freaking next wednesday for goodness sake T_T

=(

haiz, 5 more days, lets strive for it!

EDIT:
ohh yah wanted to post about syf results.... cant believe rgs got silver wtf D:
then nygh also silver wtf even more. they sounded so damn good during exchange. haiz.

ah well. what i wanted to say is that we shouldnt compare with the results in front of us, but we should just surpass our own goal and just strive for the best. if rgs and nygh get silver (and they can be considered better than us generally), does it mean we will get worse results than them? no! we must prove to ourselves - that we are not going to forever remain under them. we wont. just hoping that rimb will be restored of its glory and fame from the past.. haiz

ten

2009-03-29T14:57:00.005+08:00

10 days.

simply rushing thinkquest now... on top of that have syf and the inspire thingy. haiz. thinkquest due in... lets see... 4 days. haiz.

going to watch west winds concert with kenneth and quanhui.

dont feel like posting more... signing off zz

p.s. WALAO stupid flash why keep crashing 20 sec after i open wtf

-------------

ahahaha dont feel that new post needed, this post was spam anyway.

came back from west winds concert, cant say they very good, just that some parts were damn boring, especially the stupid 20min+ song with no instrumental melody wtf. all just singing. but ok la, they sing quite pro, but whats the point if one sings like hes talking (supposed to), and the other just sings in some foreign language. haha dunno la.

oh by the way you know how it feels like to be sitting next to a SUPER retarded fatass who tears coupons, drinks water and make the plastic bottle noise, waves his hand about during the songs to pretend he's conducting, and yawns loudly during an absolutely silent part? you know how it feels like? wtf couldnt stand him. its like sitting next to a retarded association guy, spastic association guy, and TAF club guy mixed together. during concert some more. lol haha but watching him during the boring songs actually a bit funny, its like laughing at tony HAHAHA

ahahhaha anyway they got jacob de haan as guest conductor, dunno why lol. heard he celebrated his 50th birthday yesterday in singapore o_O i thought such a big occasion (50th leh) would be he spend at home... ah anyway, he conduct the songs all his songs. obviously. (almost)

the solos were quite good though. and one song was quite nice (cartoon by paul hart) lol. but a lot of songs dragged on and got a bit boring after a while. hahahaha dunno what else to say. after that go eat dinner at the glutton square or something, the makansutra one. hmm. :D

today concert was urm.. quite not okay. lol. though we started super early, but then since mr oura wanted to remove all the dirt, so called polish our pieces (clean up the mistakes), then we stopped much more often than usual, then didnt go quite as smoothly as we expected (maybe?)

and then today was super damn tired, hardly (or didn't) sleep last night hahalalahahalala then today kept falling asleep in concert... =.= then didnt really make full use of the time he gave us to clean up our mistakes D:

ahahaha anyway tmr sound check, reaching home damn late again. x)

walao eh

2009-03-23T03:13:00.003+08:00

damn it man i just started on holiday hw

lala.

2009-03-18T01:15:00.002+08:00

SIALALALALALAAAAATHIIII!!

WHY I STILL AWAKE!!

rimb camp

2009-03-18T00:05:00.001+08:00

quick post. maybe not. tmr still got camp T.T

ok was just back from band camp. cant say it was exactly the most interesting camp (lol it was just simply pracs, night games and movie). wahahaa

exchange... haha got acsi, rgs, nygh, scgs come to ri. lol basically we got owned la. especially acsi and nygh lol they were quite, or rather damn pro. lol whatever. its over already. 8 sec 3s were ushers, was one of them zz. nothing much else to say.

anyway all the pep talks during the camp.. was quite meaningful. wont write the whole thing out here lol, but then i think that also the 1 hour sec 3 "batch meeting" is meant to be a wake up call for us. kirk asked when is our turning point; when will it be? i really hope it will be soon. i know that i probably shouldnt be saying this, but i think that without support from our own BATCHMATES, this band will get nowhere when we start leading the band next year. its us, our batchmates, whos going to lead the band. kirk also said that everyone thought our future was promising - its true, most if not all of us got musical background, we're like the only sec 1 batch to perform in concert (con brio rmb?) and like that? jerald also said that to us last year. then what? we slowed down. i probably am very guilty of what im preaching right now... gah. if we want rimb to go to greater heights i guess that we should probably wake up now.

erm then the night games... =.= kinda lame, four stations - charades, ping pong ball blowing, quiz and pour water into cup... lol. nothing much to talk about zz. just that us being group ~~sex~~ six it gave us total reasons to make our group cheer so... suggestive. (:

the plot was as follows: super kirk (in his superman outfit) lost his heart to the stickman, and we rimb members have to help him get his heart from the STICKMAN. wakaka. finding heart pieces and bloods around the school and through stations... =.=

haha andy damn funny though. the skit:

kirk: (on the floor, after stickman took his heart) i need your help... put your powers together and fight the stickman and get my heart back...
andy: ... so?

hahahaha then patrick the stickman on the floor nvr memorise script then andy say his lines, then say out loud "then you say noo" hahaha

lolol. then there was movie. we watched swing girls. watched it before, then ch 5 also broadcasted it once (which i missed). hmm the plot is sth about these few girls go mess up with the band, then out of repaying their mistakes they are forced to join band. then at first they didnt enjoy it, but when they eventually did the main band came back and chase them away. they no money for instruments then go do arubaito (part time jobs) and stuff, then the tale about all the drama and hahahaha. in the end they take part in band festival, play big band jazz and it turned out to be a success, despite having no experience at all lol. lots of funny stuff.

after the movie i dunno why but i was like in a dream, was like omg if this could happen - learn the instrument then go perform like that just take a few months lol. some pro jap ppl lol. but then they could pursue their passion freely. it was like they can be totally serious about their passion. they put all their effort into it, and they can just somehow make it work out really fine. singapore life is as busy as it is, and even more so with RI and lolwuts. but the jap ppl can pull it off - the best bands are all in japan - and some more what what.... i admire the jap ppl lol. i kept thinking during concert of emigrating to japan LOL

hahaha nothing much else to say, section dinner went to manhattan fish market, then lan at paradiz. zz.

aaah

2009-03-16T00:35:00.000+08:00

man the more i read my last time blog posts and the more i think, the more i get depressed. talk about starting a trend.

some people already said i must be happy. i know its always better to be truly happy than to just put up a veneer. i dont want to start the whole long chain of emo posts all over again. but this march hols is a checkpoint for the year, yet also a milestone. TQ deadline, syf, plus i kinda got tricked by patrick (!!!) into becoming district chief for this inspire fundraising thingy (hell la i in charge of 47 ppl wtf). sial damn stress now. im either taking life too seriously, or i just all talk, no action, because my actions dont follow what my mind tells me. and my perception is tending to bend towards the latter.

well then again... back to topic. i screwed my life up enough as it is now. my math is horrible i know yet i dont strive to make an effort for it. yeah thanks pang, you offered to help me. yeah really appreciate it lol. secondly, its not just academics (i know PR1 gpa going to be even much lower than last year's WTHH), there's also other stuff.

i keep saying this, keep saying that. i remember vividly those blogposts, where i vowed to strive for the better. but even before the term started off proper i already spoiled it. and it snowballed. those posts where i talked about goals. about how much i screwed up my eoys (longest post :P) and so on. what im saying now can probably be found in those posts. just because i dont work hard enough.

wow. time passes faster than i thought. if i keep my habits up im going to screw up not just my entire life but also the people around me. this is getting too li pu. oh well. i need to see a psychiatrist. knew that long ago.

ah but shit la need to focus. FOCUS. FOCUS. FOCUS.

okay. someone help me. someone like a psychiatrist

ahh why am i talking all these before band camp, when i should be packing and finishing geog ws for tmr!! ahh

:/

2009-03-16T00:13:00.001+08:00

wow tmr's band camp and i just started packing xP

hehe i scared i oversleep again leh?

here's a nice song xD

All clarinets please refer to section blog. Like now. :P

lalala

2009-02-04T22:14:00.013+08:00

omigod hahaha today was talking random crap about last time in primary school damn nostalgic :D

last time band camp (the national one) during P5 i think, where only a few ppl from the school represented to go, then joseph (lee) said that he knew me from then. lol dunno what, i didn't even know him, but i saw his father there to pick him up. (principal of cat high :O) so anyway he said the whole saxophone section was talking about this "damn retarded clarinet guy", and there were only 2 boys in clarinet (like omg out of 26 clarinets or so, only 2 boys), and he thinks it was me? lol where got retarded last time

haha anyway remembered that when i first joined cat high band first day i become senior liao LOL. can play from low C to middle C (one octave) then can. lol that shows their standard at that time XDD

meh anyway i kinda missed primary school days, though I wish i was less suck then. but then again now is a time for change (not just obama) but this age is when the most changes take place (both mentally and ahem physically)

hahaha but i really wished i enjoyed my so-called childhood, instead of being a no-lifer of some sort. weee

lolz.

hoho

2009-02-02T01:20:00.002+08:00

Lol was reading my old blog posts... I realised when I first started out this revival of a blog my posts were kinda immature... but well that's part of growing up. Then came the next stage of emoness. Realised that there weren't that many emo posts as I thought. But the EOYs was a huge blow to me I think. And when they were approaching that time. Lol then next I overcame the emo stage. Or something bleagh.

Haha, point is (lol, talentime reference), it's good to keep track of your life using this blog. Whatever now back to anecdote T_T

lol

2009-01-31T22:55:00.033+08:00

Nahhh nothing to post about..

ThinkQuest going at a staggering pace now.. Joseph set up a online project management thingy, then I realised how little time we have! :O I think I've been kinda slacking a bit for TQ lately.. gotta chiong finish VI 1 in 1 week.

Mr Oura also said that we're gonna have an exchange with some neighbourhood school.. theyre playing Die Fledermaus for SYF also, but they play way better than us... Better not lose face sia. It's on march 16, during march hols. That just.. 6 weeks or so away. I better buck up lol

OMG I was just searching google then every single result came out "This site may harm your computer." HAHA FAIL

Except kinda realistic. I had a sense of touch.. lol. Then it turned into some kind of drama, where I would get into some kind of drama... but I forgot what!! >< Really cool though.. wished that I had noted it down

mann

2009-01-29T22:36:00.000+08:00

happy moo year?

2009-01-27T19:35:00.000+08:00

Ehh lol. This is late but

Happy niu year lol

-.- bwahahahaha

pooh

2009-01-23T20:54:00.000+08:00

Augh just realised that the REACT post is still lying there as a draft... I can't finish it. And it'll appear back all the way in time.

Lol.

Oh and happy birthday to all January babies (there's like a lot)

uh today

2009-01-23T19:36:00.002+08:00

.................

Can't believe it I screwed up the first part of first dance! Was forward by one beat... Graaaaah luckily was only the first 1.5 bars or something. And second dance was almost like **** ......... can't blame it the swords were almost broken, couldn't fight with so much aggression.

Well it can be said we weren't fully prepared for today. At least we put up a good show (in the eyes of the audience).

Even if this wasn't for the points anymore, the experience gained alone was more than worth it. Having never taken part in any Moor house activity so intensely before, the fun we all had was really enjoyable. Getting to know more about the people in Moor house is also a great takeaway wheeeee. On top of all of that, I don't regret the time I spent at rehearsals, no matter how badly I performed up stage. Blah.

Hint: Almond milk tea!

EDIT: Hahaha upon second thought I suppose we did put up a really good show. Bleh bleh bleh

one more day

2009-01-22T22:12:00.001+08:00

... tomorrow is

the day to prove ourselves. As Mike said, even though it's not going to be for competition anymore, it's still to prove our worth. Like more than half the batch of Moorians have given up hope on winning. It's true this house hasn't been performing up to standard... but we're still here. We are going to show that this house is still the red house. Moor house.

There's no points for the talentime any more, but we are still going to go up there and do our best. It's no point giving up when we heard it's not for the points any more, and we are not going to. Until the very end.

We want to show through this performance tomorrow, that we haven't given up hope. As long as everyone has that single little tinge of hope, there's a chance that we can win. We can't let anyone down tomorrow. So let's do our best, and show that we are still the best house!

We want to show other houses, that we still have the spirit in us. We are not going to lose again.
We want to show fellow Moorians, that you shouldn't give up hope on us. We are going to win.
We want to make all our hard work pay off. We are going to impress everyone, hopefully even ourselves.

And we want to see our flag in the middle of the flagpoles again.

We are gonna impress the other houses. Make talentime Moor house the talk of the year. And show that we are still the fiery and formidable. C'mon guys!

For the others, prepare yourselves for the show of the year. Ha ha. :D

Aha today was Talentime rehearsal again.. Went late by one hour cos I woke at 9 T_T

All I can say is that we're improving, but Arnold (oh mien arnold) can work harder anot? Not blaming you or anything.. but then you need to improve (and be more serious during rehearsal).

Lol nothing much else today, just practice practice and more practice.

Haha today when mike hurt his knee while playing basketball (naishad's fault), he asked ye oon, "eh ye oon can pull my leg" Then he said, "mike, youre good looking." HAHA get the joke?

Then got one part i keep spinning towards the guy on my right (this case adil), instead of away, then mike and ye oon kept making me spin away from them, shouting every time, "adil's there! adil's there!" then i have to keep spinning away from there. Then during the dance itself i turned spin wrongly again LOL. hahah got damn giddy afterwards XD

Haiz dunno what else. All the best =)

Heheh, having talentime rehearsals every day till next friday hahahaha. Managed to get Mr Jee to let us go for band later on those days =D

So it's just one week... we are not prepared. So let's buck up, everyone. Nothing much to say about this, expecting more and more pep talk coming through email as time comes...

Oh and got the new clarinet today =DDD
The other one give Ying Cheng =D

Weee so.. with a new year comes a new instrument; with it comes new responsibilities and new goals. I won't let myself nor everyone else down.

I'm tired.. signing off zz

first day of school?

2009-01-12T23:59:00.000+08:00

Ok so.. today was the first day of school kinda...

Math and CLE teacher is Dean Ang! hahaha. He became teacher-in-charge (overall) of infocomm, he said. Like OMG. Hahaha then Chem teacher is some Chong Han Guang, he's okay. Just that his voice sounds weird lol. And when he walked into class Waye said: "eh sir tonight I rape you!" LOL. Bio teacher is umm Ben Chang? I dunno full name. lol

And then during introductions, tony was like, "i am tony huang jiaxin, but call me tony, dont call me huang jiaxin because it sounds rude" in his irritating voice. like wtf? his own name is offensive to him?!?! then as waye called him jiaxin then tony got angry. hahaha

HAHA then when it was waye's turn to introduce, Dean Ang asked him, "are you chinese?" "no, i'm indian." and all that crap about being one-quarter indian HAHAHA. then even got stuff like "i wear makeup. everyday take only 1 hour to makeup." LOL. DAMN retarded HAHAHAHA

So today keep laughing hahahhaa. But then..

Band prac started off with a COMPULSORY meeting that almost made full attendance (93% OMGLOL), other than the no-hope poners (just a few in that group). Kirk and Mr Oura talked about basically our attitude and mentality in band. Just that this time, it's much more impactful and meaningful.

Can't remember everything they said, but some things meaningful to me were:

Kirk mentioned something like if you can't do this now, you jolly well make sure you can do it by the next prac. Shows how much people are willing to improve. Have extra practices at home. This might not sound all so that meaningful, but I know that everytime I tell myself to improve, I realise I don't try my best, and when I want to stop I just stop. That way I can never complete what I tasked myself to do ever. Like say, for more than 4 months, I've been telling myself to master chromatics (near-perfect timing, fingering should be smooth, tone should be consistent, etc). But even though I try so much, I never master it by the end of practice. Then if I stop, I have to restart all over again. Who wants to keep doing that? That's what home pracs are for. But I simply don't focus at home. I don't try hard enough. At home, when I can't do it, I give up trying really easily, that's why I can't get it done. But can this keep going on? I keep telling myself to become a worthy clarinet player in RIMB (as of now I suck, not worthy at all?), but do I do it? NO.

That's why, I need to keep trying. Keep focused. Don't stop until you can do it, or you will never be able to do it by the next prac. If not, no matter what restrainments I give myself and don't meet them, and I never keep trying, I will never meet my goals.

Mr Oura talked about a Japanese band who ran from straight after class, set up in less than 5 minutes, without the privilege of having chairs and percs in the band room (I think they no band room? o.o) or something. Which is amazing. They do that simply cos time for practice is precious. They have to be back at boarding at 6pm sharp, and have to make the most out of their time during prac. They plead with the instructor/conductor to hold extra practices on Saturday, etc just to practice.

Haiz. When will we ever be even close to Japan's bands today? We don't have a sense of urgency, it's only what, 70+ days to SYF, might not seem that near but it is. What stage are we still at now? Negative one.

I don't know, but hell it is. It's all of us, WE are one band, no one is dispensable. With people quitting/poning often it feels like one part is missing. We can cover it up, but do we have the strength of a 100+ people band? Not close. Other bands in Singapore send only the Sec 3s and 4s for SYF, totalling 60+ people. RIMB alone is just barely scraping that number. And with people poning more often, I don't know what to say.

Man, can't we continue our traditions? We have a 17 gold streak to honour. If we don't get a gold for this SYF WE DIE. SERIOUS. Mr Oura said, even how suck we are, he has never given up on us. As long as we, what the band is made up of, is active and alive, the school will support us, the teachers will support us. Our only barrier is us OURSELVES.

And please, whatever they said is not crap. They do have a point. So please. Attend practices. Do your best in every prac. Put in much more effort improving.

So enough said, after the pep talk, we had concert. (combined practice, for non-RIMB ppl) Set up in 10 minutes with chairs and everything, just like what Mr Oura said abt the Japanese band. We are far behind most, if not all, Japanese bands today. Everyone was at last trying. Mr Oura never got very angry during this duration, so.. concert today was good? If we could just maintain this spirit all the way to SYF.. no, throughout RIMB throughout the years to come, wouldn't that be nice? ;D

Well this must have really been one of the better pracs for quite some time.

P.S. Woo imba long post.

that's it.

2009-01-11T23:25:00.002+08:00

School is FINALLY going to start. Great.

Even before school starts, I'm already slacking. Wanted to spend the day doing Chinese, but ended up I only started now.

Can't start off the year like that!

It's a new half of these 4 years. Gotta make the best out of it.

Now time to strive on. Let's go for it.

oh noez

2009-01-11T21:19:00.000+08:00

Haven't finished Chinese book report! Gaaah

ooh

2009-01-09T00:15:00.000+08:00

oooh just read Johnson's blog, say Mr Oura bought new instruments. 2 new clars :DD

hahahaha gonna go sleep now... must sleep by 12 midnight?

skins

2009-01-09T00:00:00.001+08:00

Whooo finally completed this new skin! Started late last night, then got chased to go sleep -.-

Anyway today was a really complete waste of time...

First 2 hours - war games... the retarded ones as always. no one was actually playing, then the only time that I ran around was when ho yu xuan was dramatically failing at trying to attack me and SK. lol.

Then we went to Food Junction for a so-called batch lunch/brunch/whatever. At 10 o' clock >_>
So it failed again... we just ate in our small little groups, instead of bonding with the rest (which I believe is the main intention?)

After that was the planned movies.. but then Seven Pounds already started 15 minutes ago.. the other movies have to wait at least 30 mins eww. So we went home, only like one group went to watch Bedtime Stories lol.

Other than that, nothing else happened.. yeah at least tomorrow going to OBS camp to ~~laugh at them~~ crash there. Dunno for what though. At least much better than stoning in school -_-''

Ok. But still I bet no one's reading this.

this is damn boring

2009-01-08T00:17:00.001+08:00

Ok as I promised... I shall stop posting emo stuff all the time :S
When you don't get to go for OBS cos of some stupid hairline fracture in P6 (!!!!!), it's like you don't want to go for OBS but are forced to go. Excluding the physical torture.

The Sec 4s were saying that if you go in with an open mind, you won't want to come home at the end of the fifth day. It's like half the group says, "ok let's go home" and the other half saying, "let's stay a while longer". Well at least I heard it would be fun. And challenging.

But why?! They don't let me go! Stupid it's only hairline (maybe not even considered a fracture, just a crack?), should have fought to go. So anyway I resigned to my fate. Diao. But at least can finish up Chinese during this week (oh sheeet haven't done finish)

So, so... being the non-OBS group is damn boring seriously.

Monday - Watched 3 movies straight -______-
Ratatouille
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Facing the Giants (Christian, but kinda nice plot :D)

Tuesday -
Basketball till recess -.- I don't even know how to play properly wth.
Then a group of us go to help Mr Agus (?) sort the stuff in Raffles Archives. Lol that place quite messy sia

Wednesday -
Planned to go trekking at Bukit Timah, then changed last minute to Mount Faber there. Took MRT to Harbourfront... etc etc. Climbed uphill then downhill then realised go wrong way lol. Then finally reached Henderson Waves that funny bridge?

Then afterwards we heading towards HortPark have to cross the bridges/walkways made of metal which looked like could fall anytime. Then that edward was trying to make us keep looking down (the bridge floor is like the metal drain like that have those holes). At times was like damn scary la, some more playing bumper car lol? ><

Then HortPark was hort. zz anyway we were dismissed from there... how wuliao. Walk all the way there no one go look at the plants. Oh and someone was buying a plant there, going to import back to China LOL

Then it was only like 11.30 so early dismissed, so we go to Vivocity haiz. Walk around for damn long then ended up settling at BK for lunch. Then go Bibi & Baba [nyonya] to buy long pants. (please ignore lame jokes).

Ah, when you scramble bibi & baba you get: babi & babi
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

-_-

So tomorrow we going to J8 with Mr KYap for lunch and movie :DDD

P.S. Feels much better than posting emo posts. :D

siala

2009-01-08T00:13:00.000+08:00

Okay, maybe the reason why no one reads my blog cos it's much more too emo than standards... but what else to post? No special events leh. Otherwise just what?

Dunno, should I make blogging a habit? People like Johnson can blog every day, sometimes two or three posts in one day...

Damn it I'm getting too emo ><

Lol feels kinda weird posting non-emo stuff lolz ._.

Fine then. Next post will be not emo. Finally. :D

oh please.

2009-01-02T22:38:00.001+08:00

Just when I wanted to blog about how much I've been a failure all my life... First day of school came, and Mr Mag/Mrs Lim Lai Cheng/the video spoke to my mind...

Last night (yeah I always get thoughts while pretending to be sleeping) I was thinking (yes thinking)...

----------------------------------------
(DISCLAIMER: this section is old. as of 2 Jan 2009 this is no longer applicable.)

It's a new year. I simply told myself to do better this year. Strive for my goals, and achieve what I set out for myself. That simple.

But once again, I remembered, this isn't going to work. Read some posts below.. you will see. Months are just going to pass by, and while I struggle the others climb up the rungs of the ladder. It didn't work last times. It's not going to work this time either.

I probably shouldn't have been able to get into RI. Probably shouldn't have gotten into GEP in the first place. Maybe not even close to what I am today. I could be the worst among what they call the top 5% or top 1%. I could even be worse than average people in neighbourhood schools!

I don't know. There are those people who can own me in every single aspect, and there are so many more people which can own me in at least one aspect. And that's bad enough.

Perhaps that's why. Some time ago, I realised that I only strived for a goal based upon comparison. That sux right. I was content by not being the worst.

I have failed all my life. And that's different from failing at life.

Perhaps Joseph was right (oh no not again). Would you rather be a jack of all trades and a master of none, or just be a master of one? I seem to be following the path of being that Jack. Who stupidly went up the hill to collect water?! -.-

I want to do everything. I don't want to lose out. What kind of stupid mindset was that?!

According to some generalisation, everyone has to be balanced. If you are good in something you have to be bad in another. Not relatively. But again, when people maximise their potential, that's when you have terms like "imba" coming in. And that's what makes you sad.

And when you see someone pwning you in that aspect you feel bad. And again. And yet again.

You see, this is not the way to go.

And the speeches really solved these problems.

-------------------------

"The key to success is FOCUS."
That's how. Be a master of one. Not try everything out, can do a bit here a bit there, and cannot do anything else after that. Kinda like BFS (breadth-first search)? =D

"Stop competing. Start excelling."
Wow.

Based on my stupid mindset of striving for a goal based upon comparison, this really makes the change. I always feel jealous because of how I stand relative to others. I was competing. Not excelling.

By that, I wasn't achieving my best. Like I said, by being content with not being the worst, you don't try for very long. You just try for a moment, and when you're not the worst any more, you slack. -_-

Woah.

I can't remember the rest already... feeling sleepy ._.

wow

2008-12-09T15:59:00.000+08:00

I need a new blogskin soon I guess. Someone give me ideas!

Don't tell me siala babi. Those malays will kill me

again.

2008-12-09T15:31:00.002+08:00

Yet again.

I think I found out the problem now. I lack:

Courage.

I choose to run away from problems instead of tackling them. Look at that post with my goals - I still haven't managed to achieve any of them yet. Like oh my god.

I was motivated enough, that's one thing. But pretty much that they were problems to be solved, I chose to ignore them. And went back to my own ways.

...

I saw that there were problems with my relationships with my family. That's probably the saddest part. I don't want to say much, but still.

I know that my parents care for me. But why do I choose not to listen to them? Why is it that I choose to defend my ego over this kind of thing?

I know that all parents worry for their children. But why do I still make them worried? Why do I make them so angry and sad at the same time so often?

Why so? Tell me, why?

I don't know for sure. But I know I am not brave enough to face this problem.

Many people may have the same problems, but they can choose to ignore it, and become like those in those TV shows (yes I watch too much 5.30pm/7pm/9pm shows), or can choose to face it, and be good children and be sorry for their mistakes.

A few days ago I went with Luo, JR and Edward to watch Four Christmases at Pasir Ris (yeah its fracking far, but I was bored -_-). The thing that touched me most about the show was not the plot itself (reviews said it wasn't that good, started out fine then becomes lousy after that), but some things they said.

Brad: "You can't spell families without lies. Try it."
Two men: *speechless*

And that first time he said it it wasn't that much of a feeling. But the second time, after they had an argument and went their separate ways, Brad's father said it again. The fact that they had lied to each other despite their two (or 3?) years of relationship, and only finding out now, is really sad. Honesty, is indeed the best way to go.

Well enough of commercial break. That hurt me the most because I know that I have not been honest many times to my parents. I keep many things secret from them, and sometimes I don't even know why I do that.

This is getting lengthy.

I've run out of words, and I don't know how to conclude this. But I really should face these problems, instead of trying to run away from them. There's no use in running away.

friends.

2008-12-08T15:09:00.000+08:00

I used to think that I was much more committed to RIMB that I was to 2M; in fact I thought I put more of my commitments into RIMB than anything else. But last night, when I couldn't sleep, I realised (really suddenly) that there was not going to be 2M any more.

I mean, there isn't going to be 2M '08, the same people in one class ever again. The year is ending, and 2M '08 will soon cease to exist (and welcome 2009). It doesn't feel like it - you get to talk to your classmates on MSN, sometimes hang out with them, and stay close to them - yet you can feel excited about next year with a new class. But still you can't have the best of both worlds. It saddens me to think about how my closest friends in 2M will never be able to stay that close again - never get to have fun together, never going to see each other that often again.

Yes, we still can keep in touch. It will be very easy to stay in touch, since we're all still in the same school. But it's not the same if you can't be in the same class.

The bonds you form in class are the tightest - I just realised - the classroom provides the most room for interaction and bonding. Even though I love RIMB, and feel a responsibility or something towards RIMB, that is only towards RIMB itself! I am doing this for RIMB, not for the members! The bonds with classmates in 2M are uncomparable to the bonds with RIMB members themselves!

When I wonder about who my close friends are going to be in 3P (yes I'm in 3P), and how close we are all gonna get compared to with the two short years with 2M, I really feel all confused and sad. I don't know.

These two years we have spent together - it has been indeed memorable. Despite all the ups and downs and fights/arguments/whatever crap, we are all still 2M. It feels weird now though, when I write this post making myself think I'm no more in 2M, I still feel otherwise. I'm still in 2M. We all will still be in 2M, right? Well that's theoratically untrue, so I can't challenge myself against the power of philosophy (and oja), but we will still be one right?

And there's no way we are going to keep this close in the future. Watch all those dramas - these people lose contact with each other and 20 years later - poof - they meet again. But we won't always be that lucky, so be thankful we have MSN. But then again, looking at how close I still am with CHS 6HI people (or vice versa with others), I don't think we are really going to keep close contact again. But face it - the year is ending, and when we have a new class - that's when we have to let go of the old, and give way to the new. So treasure the time we have left. (not like we have opportunities to do so)

Well it's really hard to say goodbye, and everyone should know that. But then we're only going to be in different classes, so chill. We probably never spent our last few days after EOYs wisely. I'm sure no one did. That's why we don't feel the sadness of having to say goodbye that much.

But yet everything has to come to a close.

And so as this post ends:

Goodbye, 2M.

And hello, 3P.

Welcome the new year. (soon enough)

P.S. I was never good at writing stuff like this. So sue me. I don't have a lawyer, but lesmana can pay for me.

realised

2008-11-15T00:23:00.003+08:00

I dunno why, but I've just realised that my blog is really a road which my life takes. It's becoming more like a diary except less personal.

I see myself growing from post to post, and from like 10 posts ago I saw the childish and immature side of me. My posts started getting more serious and more emo, and it was all nearing the end of the year.

I talked about realisations. I talked about goals. I talked about all the things I've done wrong.

Well it helps to keep all my thoughts. And when I go back to read my previous posts, I just feel warmed. I have no idea why.

Thank you, blog. Time to go sleep. (:

goals

2008-11-14T23:24:00.001+08:00

Finally. I long set goals for myself to complete this holidays, but I just figured that if I keep it to myself then I won't feel the need to reach the goal, since everyone would like remind me... okay maybe not everyone but at least this sad blog's readers, which is practically no one -_-

Well anyways on to the list (a SERIOUS list):

Improve overall physical fitness
Yea I know it sounds stupid, but then I really need to get out there and have more exercise. I realised that for one week I can just get out of home for only one of the days, and don't find it bad. Maybe I have a sad life. Or maybe I have no life. And I need one. Urgently.

Clarinet skills
Well yeah I mentioned this in a very early post before. This past two years have not only been a waste for my academics. I hardly improved from last year to this, but at least there was improvement from the start of this year to now.

Time for a re-enaction.

When I first joined RIMB, I had more experience than anyone else in the batch of our section. Well that was only because I had that tiny little priviledge of having played the clarinet in primary school. And did I make good use of it? No.

As the first six months went by, I saw the other people in the same batch (not just section) growing, improving and bonding. Those who had prior band experience was also moving forward. On the other hand, those without experience were moving even faster. But me, haiz. I was stuck there, watching as the current drove everyone forward, while I was like a big rock who just stopped in the midst of the fast oncoming current.

I did not realise it.

And as we prepared for Con Brio, and being a batch that managed to hold a performance in our first year, it was a great achievement for us. This showed that we had the skill, we had the potential to move forward even better than before. And yet, I still did not realise it.

Even after Investiture 07 was over (I didn't even know that that was Investiture itself - I wasn't that serious in playing Crystal City), I hardly had a strong driving motivation to improve. There wasn't much of a challenge at that time - Wind Harmony March was easy. I didn't see the need to improve. And when the pieces suddenly came in like the wind (harmony march), I found myself not being able to catch up due to the overwhelming number of pieces and the difficulty of some of them (to me at least). I also found myself lagging much behind the rest, and I suddenly became near the bottom of standard in the band. Maybe I'm not that bad, but then I know that I'm really bad.

I couldn't manage to realise this in time. And due to my stupid mindset + RI's suddenly-over-hectic curicullum at times, I didn't have the time to think about this, and didn't have the time to improve, and didn't have the motivation to do so.

By Prometheum, it became the first concert which I ever took seriously. I knew my own standard. I knew I was scared. I knew I had already come this far. Plus Alastair's card (the tradition of RIMB), I knew I had the encouragement. Though now I can't really feel it, I'm also not that motivated (to tell the truth), but I know that precisely I should not give up. (pardon my grammar, I'm letting thoughts flow) On his card (I really shouldn't be divulging this information), a part of it said he could see I was really trying hard. And that didn't go unnoticed. Well the point is that I know myself better. I know that I wasn't set on improving at that time. I didn't try hard enough. It will never be enough, but I know that it was too little. On another note, he also said there is either a yes or a no. There is no try.

And so after SIBF, on the bus had a (not very long) good talk with Brandon, he told me how much he sucked at Sec 2, and how he managed to improve DRASTICALLY by end of the year. Well now it's the end of the year and I don't see myself much better. (omg I just realised this is 4 months after SIBF - a freaking long time!)

And since I already have this problem of not being able to practice at home (there isn't the mood, the correct environment, plus I just don't feel like praccing at home), I need to make much fuller use of the time in band. More probably sectionals, where I can "clean up all the shit" (quote).

My goal now is pretty much undefined, since I can't really say how much I want to improve by. But what I know is that I need to improve.

Well I can't say much more can I...

Sleep much earlier
I think most people should know this... I sleep the latest in my whole class -___-
And it's a habit for me. A really REALLY bad habit. Sleeping every day at 3-4am.
So I set this target: in one week's time, it should be a habit for me to sleep at 12AM every day, and latest LATEST only 1AM.

Reduce computer usage time drastically
The time I spend on the computer can be 90% of the time I'm awake. And you know I don't sleep, which means electrical bills = shoot up like mad. One month from $50 to $150, plus govt increase electricity rates by ~30%? Waah.

During the time I spend away from the computer which is not occupied by meals/bathing/going to school, I can do nothing, except maybe watch TV, and I hardly watch anything.

Only now I realise the extent of my computer "addiction". And it's not even computer games. I haven't touched one and played it with pleasure and enjoyment for a relatively long period of time for about 5 months. -__-

You may not find it hard to do so, but do not forget I don't have a life. :/ I need my computer to survive... jk. It's really hard for me, and please try to understand.... as in really i'm not joking. This is a problem. So help.

SO the goal is:

In four days, reduce it to a maximum of 8 hours
In seven days, reduce it to a maximum of 7 hours
In fourteen days, reduce it to a maximum of 6 hours
In twenty-eight days, reduce it to a maximum of 5 hours. But habit should be 4 hours

Whenever I think about how when I reduce it to 4 hours a day, I really shudder in fright. I really don't think I can do it, considering how my life revolves around the com and how the com revolves around me. And how I piled my to-do list to be so much on computer-related stuff. How can I possibly complete all those tasks in the 4 hours I allocate myself each day?

Whatever it is, I need to reduce the time I spend. And get something else to do.

--------

For all you (non-existant) readers:

Please help. It's a real problem which I need to tackle in the time I have in the holidays. It's a double-edged sword, as it gives you all the time in the world but you go astray after that. That's what the June holidays did to me. Give me something to do that is not related to the com. I have nothing to do in the world outside my beloved computer... :/

So please, give me genuine suggestions on how to tackle this problem seriously. I need to cure this addiction. I need to get a life. I need to, well, just be a normal person. And that's all I ask for.

If I ever have real friends, I know I can go through this problem together with them.

icc camp

2008-11-08T23:04:00.007+08:00

weee icc camp was fun! The previous day I wasn't excited or anything about the camp, cos there was a darn lot of stuff to do - Northlight + strITwise all during the activity-packed camp. And the activities didn't look interesting from the schedule we were given.

Anyway Northlight is a CIP project to teach Northlight students (those who fail PSLE) Flash and Dreamweaver, to build up their self-confidence and stuff. And strITwise is some competition where we have to do Robocode and design a robot + animation etc etc....

So..... let's start with Northlight CIP:

Northlight
So basically on the Orientation Day with the students, one Sec 2 was paired with one Sec 1 to group with a pair of Northlight students. Yeah and so we played several icebreaking games to get to know them better, like caterpillar war/treasure hunt/etc. Quite fun, but tiring..

So me and Shaun were paired up with Alvin and Zehong. (no point telling names anyway.) SO they were actually chinamen (!!!), who spoke very little and very softly (lol...) So we were like having difficulty when we did our first activity, as they didn't speak much. Couldn't do anything, since we didn't know what to talk about either...

But then throughout the lessons they had which we were facilitating one on one, I could see that Alvin (who I was facilitating) had made much progress. In the first lesson, he would usually dao and draw random crap without paying much attention to the teacher. Then I also didn't know like what he knew and what he didn't. Not much progress there... maybe cos he didn't have the confidence to ask questions/do other stuff.

But by the end of the 2nd lesson, I could see that he was actually learning. He was more able to ask questions, and even though he was damn soft I could see he actually got some confidence. Yeah so what I did was to go through every step, and like test him every step of the way. E.g. like I give him a suggestion to do something to his product, like add an animation here, then ask his opinion on how he wants it to be done. Then I told him to motion tween you need to first insert a keyframe, and then right click Create motion tween in the middle. Kept repeating that till he could do it without help. Wow I was quite glad he could catch up that fast (:

Compared to other students/facilitators, I was glad that I didn't need to do a lot of stuff for him, and actually let him use his own creativity and skills, and how he applied what was taught. Haha.

On the whole I feel that this has actually let me see how someone not as intellectually on the same level as us actually thinks, and how we can help them. Wow what a meaningful CIP, compared to simple flag day =.=

Okay so now on to the camp itself:

Camp
The camp started out with colour groupings, 5 colours; I was in green, with Joseph, Xin Yang, Matthew (Sec 1), Samuel, Josiah. Then during the icebreakers for us only the Sec 2s were left (sec 1s went to teach), and joseph left to make lesson notes. And so, with only me and xin yang left you cant expect much to be done... making a team name and cheer... >_> So we had some stupid icebreaking activities, won't talk about it...

For the non-infocomm people, we used floppy disks as a point system, and you can get them as easily as you can lose them... T_T

We had some lessons, in i dunno what order, but Robotics was not fun, programming was C++ introduction so I could get 4 floppies from completing those assignments... like easy man. Then Robocode was fail, since nothing much was taught. "How to use a Mac" - =.= *wow I can use a mac now* >_> Can't remember the rest...

Will skip the non-important parts, since I'm lazy :P

Station Games:
Held on the first night. We had to go to 8 stations and do random stuff. Ian's station was the most random, had to squeeze a lemon and drink a whole cup of that juice... Then Kah Khang's Dvorak typing station... xD we failed. Then the infamous Blue Screen of Death station by A(c)hmed! Wahaha we didn't finish colouring the whole canvas blue with only a pencil in MS Paint in 10 minutes. Then the treasure hunt and charades stations... almost all stations not original one...

The interesting station was Manek's station, but also the most fail one... It was damn hard leh.. We had to get to the other end of the corridor and grab the light stick and come back, without getting shot by the "automatic turret" water gun operated by Shu Wen, only getting covered with a meagre number of chairs on the ground. Once we get shot we die, and someone has to save us, and not get shot at the same time... Well so we managed to do it on the 2nd try but 4 people were left dead there. Wow painful dessssu

Then zewei's slack station, just find a statue in a multi-gigapixel image... =.=;

At least we were the first group to find out Ahmed's station, as no one went there for like 40+ minutes... xD But then we were the 3rd group to arrive back.. never mind.

Time to talk about:

War Games
This was held on the second night, on the 3rd floor of the admin block. Yeah so it was the basic put-sock-at-back-and-try-to-pull-other-people's-sock game. And it was CS style, where we were split into Terrorists and CTs. Lol so the first two rounds we lost (the second one we lost in the last 3 seconds). The terrorists were supposed to place 4 bombs in the same bombsite to win.

I initially thought that the second round was quite fun and I managed to kill some of them, and went to happyhappyland only once... And also since we had somewhat worked together (just somewhat).

So after the second round we became terrorists finally, but then I felt tired out and had some kinda headache so initially I didn't want to play. But seeing that we had strategised very intensely I decided to give it a try. And I wasn't let down.

We decided to elect a leader, and of course, almost unanimously we chose Joseph. You have to admit it, for this kind of thing someone like Joseph would be good for the job. Yeah he was a good leader for this discussion, whatever you may say.

Well so we were split into 4 divisions, and each took one bomb to plant. Wee so we were kinda organised and knew what to do, had codenames like "Chicken", "Duck" and whatnot. So we could rediscuss our plan during the game. For the first time I saw the real meaning of team spirit in a war game like this. The true meaning of working together as a team. And as such, I was much inclined to work harder.

So near the end, we managed to shove off two CTs defending the entrance to the bombsite. And as such, Muhaimin was holding a bomb and since two terrorists were required to hold each other to place the bomb down, he grabbed hold of both me and Gao Ming's hands. Somehow or another, GM let go, and I tripped over leaving Muhaimin to run and drag me against the floor. But I was determined to not let go, and I was shouting "PUT! PUT! PUT!" even when I was being dragged across the floor. I was not going to give up, and I was sure that I wanted the team to win.

As it turned out, he put the bomb at the wrong table =_____=

Never mind, we positioned ourselves as we prepared for the final showdown against the CTs barely able to defend the table at the end. So it was chaos... and the bomb flew around... I dunno, then it was at my feet, then I grabbed it and someone elses hand and slammed it down hard on the table. We won! Yayayay!

And so, this war game has proved to be the most meaningful to me than any other war game I played. I dunno why, but it was only now I could see the true meaning of team spirit and how we were all committed to work together as a team. It's hard to explain, but you get the point.

And so.. on to other stuff...

The last activity we had was auctioning our floppy disks for "prizes", which can be as worthless as tissue paper or as ridiculous as 15 floppy disks... There was mystery prizes, one of which was "soft and pleasurable" (quote Ahmed). So Yen Ter's group immediately bidded 16 disks for it. And it was 2 packs of "Soft" Tissue Paper LOL!!

Hongyi's group got jacked - another mystery prize was like 20 packs of leftover bee hoon and they had to finish them all XDDD

Then our group didn't manage to bid for anything until the so called last item where we bidded all 66 of our disks. And the other 2 teams wanted to put their disks together to pit against us... with 80 vs 66... wow... But we still got it, cos if not we would be going back with nothing. But then Ahmed was like whispering to Joseph not to spend them, and INDEED. They gave a big bag of Twisties to the group who was the most conservative. wahahaha.

Wow. Interesting camp. xD

Oh by the way, watch Ian the Polar Bear! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
