::My body's breaking down.

First is second major shin splint in 2 weeks. Then it's another major double calf cramp. Then wonderful quadriceps strain and hamstring pulls. Hahaz. And that's not the end of it. Add a stressed left ankle, painful right knee, injured left shoulder and old "popping" injury of my right shoulder to the list and you can get a nice list of "ouch"s. Even better would be strained muscles on upper body and headache from lack of sleep.

Yes. That's my life for now. Overstrained, overworked, overfatigued and overburnt.

But I'm loving it =).


Hahaz. For once my life has centred mainly around me rather than brooding over something I can't do to help the situation.

For once... I did something to change myself. =)

Today Sunnie and I raided the Hang Ten stall in J8. Hahaz. We had a 50% discount card, bought $220 worth of stuff(+gst) and paid only 97.50 for all of them. Hahaz. Super jack, because the shop guy went to MINUS 5 instead of PLUS 5 when I bought the socks(ankle socks, yes, I'm vain already). So Sunnie and I saved 13 bucks! Hahaz. =) We came, we saw, we raided, we burnt!

Hahaz.

Bought a pair of jeans, a nice white shirt, a shoe bag and a sling bag. Way cool. Hahaz. Super cheap. =X I feel poor now though. Hahaz.

Man I'm really tired.::

::1 week and 1 day without updating. I feel bad =X.

Hahaz.

A lot of things happened. I had a lot and a lot of things happening in my life but I'm way too lazy to type it all in now.

I just had all kinds of revelation and a new aim in life.

New lease at least. My aim's... Still pretty much the same. And I've got a new slogan ;) :

Live and let live. Love and be loved. Life rocks. =)

Just learn to take things in your stride and be strong and you'll succeed. With self-discipline(which I lack) of course.

Hahaz.

=)

For all the lost souls out there, you'll find the light =). For those think who know me by rumours and think I'm some ass, it's really up to you, if you judge a person just by these, you're losing out on a lot by yourself.(And that's something I'm to learn from too)

=)

I'm a happy person.

I'm a monk too =)

It's amazing how much you can learn from just 2 months of JC. Hope I stay in RJ.

=)

I love life.

It rocks =)

A challenge is always good =).::

::Barber Violin Concerto is damn nice. Hahaz especially when you play it.

Love playing all these expressive music. Would love to go back to my Brahms Sonata again in time to really improve on it. It was written "For the love of Clara Schumann", of course he didn't get the love that he wanted but... Oh well. It's very nicely expressive and omg... TOUGH. Hahaz. But damn nice. =). And Mr Chan kept commenting that Barber's a lot easier than expected. Yeah it is actually. Hahaz. But keep it down low okay?

I'm so happy for my bestie and *cough*. Hahaz. So sweet. Confirm die of sugar overdose. I hear about it already going on high glucose poisoning liao. Sheesh. Love is in the air(plays music).

Valentine's day also has something else going on. My sister has a DAMN NICE DIAMOND NECKLACE. For her bday + valentine's day present combined, since it's the same day. Hahaz. SHHHH.... Keep it quiet. Man her boyfriend is damn sweet lar. I'm getting heavy sugar overdosage here.

Hahaz. Oh yes, peeps, look out for me because i might be able to give you a valentine's day present. OG and Class comes first hor. Oh shit. Hahaz. I have to spend more money thinking about this. Hahaz. I have to be nice... Everyone will get one. I hope. Hahaz EEPS.

Repertoire for Grade 8 Piano: Mozart Sonata, Bach Prelude and Poulenc Nocturne
Repertoire for DipABRSM Violin: Barber Violin Concerto, Mozart Violin Concerto in G Major, Bach Partita No. 2 2-4 movements, Grieg Sonata in C Minor

Still going to add I think. Especially for Dip Piano.

I'm gonna die these two years. Yup.

Oh yes, Xiao Yuan, it's good to see you after so long again =). Hahaz, hope your feet are alright now. Really sorry about it. Thanks for the presents' tips! Hahaz. Have fun in HCI!::

::I'm saying for the first time this year... That I'm emotionally unstable.

Hahaz.

I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown at this rate.

>_<

Need an air vent.

But my house is not connected to an air-con vent...

Guess I have to vent my sorrows and anger somewhere else...

I'm on the brink of complete meltdown.::

::Sorry King Lun!
So it wasn't you.
But they were talking about good looking guys and one of the girls mentioned your name first. And the chinese high guy responded.

Interesting.

Hahaz.

Sorry for the mix up.

::Hahaz.
Shall be lame today!!!

I'm gonna make a list of criterias for my future wife.
Just for the fun of it.
For those who know what's going through my mind as I'm typing this, good for you. If don't, some things are better left unmentioned =P.

1. Rather high ability to carry out intellectual conversations and definitely has persuasive powers.
2. Loves a challenge.
3. Has the same computer gaming intergrity as me(that means she should know how to play)
4. Has a strong sense of determination and willpower.
5. Is charismatic by her out-goingness and isn't afraid to know more people.
6. Academically smart so I won't vomit blood if I were to help her, or that I don't even have to help her at all. =P (She must have been in university at the very least.)
7. Love children AND animals. Can be inclined to either side.
8. Ability to do/play sports is a very helpful thing indeed. Spurs me =P.
9. Musically inclined, or at least played an instrument and did it well before.
10. Loves singing, even if she doesn't dare to sing out loud.
11. Has this sense of confidence(linked to charisma) that makes her so impressive and awe-inspiring.
12. Fiercely independent yet a hopeless romantic. Wants to carve out a career, achieve loads, and yet want to settle down and start a family at the same time. (settle down isn't a must of course =P)
13. Preferably very attractive, at least to me. Hahaz. =) (I've always been biased though =X )
14. Very observant to things around her.
15. Whining is subjective... Depends on time, place and stituation.
16. Knows herself, doesn't pull off "flashy" clothes without having the right curves for it. If she's not of a good figure, she wears modestly and knows how to cover rather than try too hard to show. But if she loves sports then I doubt her inability to do so. =X
17. Compassionate heart, loves to help those in need.
18. Gregarious. Definite must.
19. Character trait shown physically: a beautiful smile. =D (prone to biasness)
20. Believes fiercely in whatever religion she's in, or not in.
21. Stubborness, a definite must. *nods*
22. Optimistic. (I have another name for it though. =P )
23. Has an inner child, loves cartoons as much as me, and loves to really really have fun(like going insane).

I think that's all for now. Hahaz.

::7 weeks.
If you record the graph it'll be interesting.
Absence in my life doesn't equal absence from mine, instead it gets worse.
I'm such a dreamer.

Anyway, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL. I'll be having 2 entries with that. Hahaz. It's not yet there but I hope everyone's enjoying their reunion dinner as I'm typing this now. I have a few things that I have to ditch...

Pissed Eddison off today by saying he's flirting around. Guess I was just a bit sore that he'd be posting on his blog something bad about me and stuff. If you're reading this, Eddison, I'm sorry for bitching the few times about you. The first words you've ever said to me in our lifetime, was said today. You said "Fuck you lar!" Nice greeting. Yup. Made me kinda realised that the profound hatred we have for each other is quite stupid and childish. I'd like to remove it and get it out of my life. Hope you'll forgive me for all that I've done. Even if you do something horrendously unforgivable, I'll just shut up and let you live your own life. Unless of course, we become friends, though that'd be quite hard considering circumstances... But overall, I'll not ever interfere with your life anymore. It's just pointless to. Hope you can accept my sincere apology.

Another thing would be those who I had hurt or insulted in one way or another. Often I don't really mean it, it's either in a fit of irritation, anger, or disgust or insecurity. It's not a good thing. I'm terribly sorry for doing anything like that. I'm definitely going to be a new person from today.

Oh yes, and those who seriously cannot stand my loud personality and enthu attitude to life, and happily kao beis all the time. Good for you. You missing out on the fun isn't my fault. My participation in things and my enthusiasm allows me to destress and to have fun, so please understand, I'm not messing with you. I'm just trying to be happy. If you don't like it, tell it to my face. If you get irritated when I crack stupid jokes to try to lighten up the mood or actively participate in class discussions and do funny stuff just to destroy any tension, I'm sorry I can't be the person who you would like just because we have a personality clash. I can't please everyone, so if you'd prefer me to please you, would it be fair to others who I'm pleasing? Kao bei-ing as a joke is understandable, but too much of it and serious AP does show immaturity. And yup I do do the same, I know. But at least I'm still trying hard to stop it, though instincts might take over. Think on it.

This morning started with me going to kajiao Colin at his OG area. He wanted me to go there for some purpose, which is to play with the gypsy cards. Similar results again. -_-. Is my life doomed? Hahaz. Anyway, whenever we did it on others the results were always so weird. It's really a wonder. But then again, it takes a magical touch ;). Hahaz kidding.

The sun should give me a high five! Hahaz. High five, sunnie! Hahaz =P

Went for flag raising and sang out loud again. Hahaz. Quite mad, but no one really noticed, quite a lot of people were singing loudly too. Hahaz. Then after a few announcements suddenly there was the instrumental music of chinese new year songs through the PA systems. Apparently, the school thought we would be singing to the music and stuff. Colin, Hon Loong and I were clapping to it, trying to start everyone to clap along. But people too pai mia. -_-. Sigh. School failed in attempt to bring New Year spirit to RJ. Yup.

Anyway, Med Fac had its Chinese New Year Celebration in the parade square. Hahaz. When the emcees were asking why we had to eat fish for new year, Colin ran up to answer that it's because there is Mad Cow Disease and Chicken Flu about. Hahaz. LAME! Super funny and thick skinned. Hahaz. Anyway, the first performance was done by the band Plugged. Wherever You Go by the Calling. Man... They're good. Hahaz the singer is really really good! Hahaz. But not enough of showmanship to really keep crowd interest because the guitar parts weren't flashy. Though they were good, the music was redundant after a while, especially because the un-enthu crowd wasn't singing or anything.

The indian dance was quite nice actually. Though... Hahaz... It's an open comment that two of the dancers are darn hot. Hahaz. Heard it from around, and could very well agree. Hahaz. They're chinese lar, but they were dancing the Indian Dance. But it was good nonetheless =). The Lion Dance was really heart-rendering because the front guy didn't get enough support to kick down the benches and fell down really badly. We were applauding for him when he came back and did it again. He got a bit of phobia the second time but we applauded him again for his courage to try a third time, and he succeeded. It was really heart-warming to see the crowd react as such. =) Who said Singaporeans were cold? They might be un-enthu, but they have hearts of gold! =D

The wushu really showed how pro Justin is! Oh man... You should look at his expressions and the strokes. So vigourous and strong. Though I might not be an expert, or even an amateur, it's quite obvious that he's probably be the best amongst the few. The others seemed a bit reserved, but are still definitely skillful and good. Yup. Wushu gave a good performance.

I left by the time CPS came with a choir to sing, because I was heading to HC! Found that the back gate was locked so I had to go all the way in front of RI to take the bus. Saw King Lun and 3 RGS girls with him doing the exact same thing. Hahaz. I didn't know he was King Lun until we were on the bus and one of the girls said his name. Interesting scenario. Shall not expound. Hahaz.

Reaching HC, I was like "where to go ah?" So Weeyin directed me to the gate a LONG distance away, then a nice indian woman told me to actually go by the second level because the gate was open. Hahaz. Then an RGS girl right next to me and I both ran up to go through the gate.

Met Winnie downstairs and we went to the central square where I met Xin Ling, Yunwei, Mingtse, Pinyun, Wenjun, Chong Guang, Marcus, Vanessa, Melissa, Lihao, Herbert, Ruilin and many many people I know. Hahaz. So fun. =D. Then danced a bit with my mei and left with her class to Choa Chu Kang and watched them take neoprint. Hahaz. The process was fun because of the talking, which is hard to say here. Hahaz. So oh well. =P no dibs! Hahaz.

Then left to go fetch grandma and sister. Had Lou Hei then went to go do gym. Did a hell of a lot. And ran an inclined treadmill. SUPER tiring after a day of a lot of walking and eating. Hahaz. But oh well. Then came home. Details... I doubt there is a need to. But I'm losing weight and I'm happy, though I'm still eating a lot, at least most of it is turning into muskels. Hahaz. *muscles lar*

::5 days. An insignificant number of days to many. It's just 5 days, but I can feel the strain. Every shadow, every thought goes wilder each day. My heart feels no joy, no sorrow, no pain, no elation. All I feel... Is nothing.

But! I'm still having fun. Hahaz. Today was definitely so.

The morning started out quite nicely. Charles was really nice, started out a new contact list for the OG and brought new year goodies for us! So sweet. Hahaz. Michelle definitely seems much happier. Hope you'll feel better each day! Especially during this New Year period! =D. The OG's having an outing again soon! Can't wait. Hahaz. =D Oh and Choon Hwee like finally came to school early again! Hahaz. She was just as enthu as always and was hoping around like herself. Hahaz.

Repeat of friday's schedule today. Hahaz we had bio first again. Lipids tutorial. Didn't do >_<. But then luckily I did the MCQ first and left the structured for later, without Miss Lee checking. Heng ah. Hahaz. Joshua and Colin were doing the same thing. Damn dots. Hahaz. Then came physics prac again. Hahaz. Went late for it because Colin and I were doing some gypsy card thing I forgot to mention last night. Hahaz. The predictions were quite similar for Colin. Interestingly. And I really really hope that mine... For today's and yesterday's do actually come true. Hahaz. Obstacles are not easy to overcome, but they help to strengthen things. =). Anyway, after we reached physics prac, we were getting bored by the graph drawing things. Sheesh. Sian. Hahaz. But oh well. Got a See Me on my prac 1 for not adding +/- 0.05 to the zero error. Stupid mistake on my part lar, but it's nothing really big luckily.

Drawing of the graphs was quite screwed. Everyone was using about the same scale and some didn't skip numbers so their graphs appeared really really high. Hahaz. Weird lar... Then the second graph we were to draw was also like really hard to estimate. Kai Xuan and I were like complaining, so were Cedric and Wei Jian. Hahaz. Super funny. Hahaz. Then EARLY BREAK AGAIN! Because the teacher knew it's an impossibility for us to finish by the end of the lesson so he let us off early so we could have a break.

Stall 6 food rocks. Hahaz. Love the sweet and sour fish. Super super super nice. Hahaz. And the uncle's really nice too! =D. Jia Hao was damn smart, he bought the plate of rice and mixed dishes like WHEN the bell rang so we waited for him for like 10 whole minutes before we headed to GP. Sunnie, Colin and I then went to the toilet while the others headed into the class, and meanwhile, Jia Hao apparently rushed to class, ahead of like the rest of us. He didn't want to take the blame. -_-. Hahaz. Then when the three of us reached the class, Miss Loh was leaving to get some stuff so Colin shouted "Okay, I am your new relief teacher." The class promptly laughed out loud, with a teacher appearing behind them. Hahaz. Super funny scenario but super embarassing for Colin. Hahaz. But oh well it's not too bad lar... =D. I got B for my personal statement, partly because I was actually a bit the arrogant for one of my paragraphs. *note to self: stop being ego*. Yup. Hahaz. But B's not too bad. Don and Jia Hao said that they both wrote rubbish and got A for it. Hahaz. They were writing things completely NOT heartfelt and they were rushing it. -_-. Great. Hahaz. And I was writing it so painstakingly honestly. -_-. But I got to admit their command of english is better than mine. I was super super naggy with the words. Look at my blog! I tend to use the LONGER way of writing things than the shorter, more precise way. Hahaz. I'm a dragger!

Break time was spent in the class again. But this time doing gypsy cards on Wei Jian, Cedric and Neng Yang. Hahaz. Super funny. Wei Jian kena guys 3 times in a row lor! It was unprecedented today that the King of Hearts appeared in the discard stack. Super weird. Hahaz. Then Wei Jian's King of Hearts was like constantly right next to the King of Clubs. Hahaz. Super funny. We were shouting "Gay!" all around the class. Cedric and Neng Yang had it kinda normal lar, though they were REALLY far from the girls they liked... Hahaz. So what does that mean? I dunno. I appeared really close to a Queen of Hearts at the end again. =D. Hahaz. But 2 blockades this time. Interesting though. Hahaz.

We went for Chem class... Ermm... Kinda boring. Was talking to Gerard about all kinds of stuff. Hahaz. Didn't really try to work hard. Then suddenly we had a quiz! I didn't do the tutorials OR listened during lecture. I was like... Oh shit. Hahaz. But it wasn't too bad lar. Hahaz. Sunnie was suanning us. He didn't have time to check more than once. I'm like wtf? -_-. I should study. Hahaz. But at least I wasn't the only one. Patrick turned around and complained, as did Gerard and Colin. Hahaz. So yeah. I'm not the only one. Hahaz

Skipped Chinese. For rehearsal and the listening session for the Brahms Piano Quartet. We sounded not bad in the practice room, but the moment Mrs Chee appeared, our playing standard dropped like dunnowhat. Something seriously wrong with her, or us. Anyway, she made a lot of criticism of our playing. Mainly aiming at me lar. But the thing is that I was so nervous with her around that I couldn't play well lor. Anyway, our Brahms Quartet isn't that bad lar, considering 2 practices, and we definitely sound better than the recording we had. But of course we still have to work on it. "It's not fast enough" and her telling us to "use the same part of the bow and stroke". I'm like... We're three different instruments, same part of the bow doesn't necessarily equate same bow stroke OR same sound. And blah blah blah. Because we're different INSTRUMENTS. But of course it does help but whatever lar, it's damn dots. I turned off when she was talking a bit out of hand. Yes we do need work, but have faith.

Super tired... Physically. And the fireworks are going on in Chinatown now. Hahaz. Quite cool lar but I'm not watching. Can hear the screams of excitement. Hahaz. Ciao

::Sorry that I didn't update for like 2 days.

Lotsa stuff happened.

Let's start from Friday's "entry".

4th Feb

Only thing keeping me afloat would be the funkjazz going on behind in the background. I just lost a good friend. Definitely a reason to be sad. But I will get over it. It's amazing how fast you lose good friends when you get new ones. Oh well...

Today started out quite funny. First time I was doing work at the K'Cove. Everyone was promptly shocked. Hahaz. Managed to finish my Bio Tutorial on time, and get away without doing my physics tutorial at all. =X Hahaz. I'm eevviilll. Anyway, for some reason, I keep thinking of really sick things lately. Hahaz. Such as the wrong use of periscope and stuff.... Eeps. >_< I feel myself becoming more and more perversed. Hahaz. That's NOT good. Anyway, the physics teacher is damn funny, but quite stone. Hahaz. Mr Kamel. He's a nice guy =). Miss Audry Lee is a good teacher too. Hahaz. Though she's J3 and my sister's friend, she's good at it =).

Miss Loh is super funny, especially with the ink smudges on her hand while correcting our transparency essays. Hahaz. And she didn't realise. She's really quite a good teacher, just... a bit to the weird side but oh well. Her command of English is definitely better than mine by far. Hahaz. But of course my languages actually are kind of really declining through the years. Hahaz. So there's nothing really much to compare. Hahaz.

Hon Loong took over the Talentime Auditions on his own with When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating. Hahaz. Love that song actually. Colin and I keep singing it when Hon Loong was singing it. Hahaz. Then I even tried to pair in with Hon Loong with my violin. Hahaz. A bit tough but not that bad. My class was slacking in the classroom for the entire break after GP. Because we had our lunch early due to the fact that physics prac ended 40 minutes early. Yup. Hahaz. Fun. And good.

Then came chem... Going through tutorial again and I faked my way out of things again >_< and then chinese... I feel bad because I haven't done any of the homework I should. But oh well that's what I always do anyway... But the lesson was really interesting, was singing to all the songs that were played. So fun. Hahaz. Then after that I went to the canteen to see if I could hang a bit before I headed for jazz. Obviously I wasn't too right, so I just headed to the music room for jazz.

Ended up teaching a J2 how to play the piano. Then jazz started and we had a jazz soloist to come teach Jermyn, Shoujie and I to play jazz chords and stuff. Oh yes and Derrick too. Hahaz. His name is Alvin and he's definitely a superb jazz saxophonist. Hahaz even though he complained that he had only touched his saxophone only 5 times this year. It was the sixth time when he was teaching us. Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian. And I forgot the last one. Hahaz. It's all in my book. Think I impressed the teacher(forgot her name >_<) because she said that I learn the theory really fast. Hahaz. But then it's hard to put it into practical when you haven't done much jazz playing. Only listened it as it is. Super fun to play later on though.

And Jermyn is PRO! Boon is SUPER PRO. They improved a lot since I last heard them. Shit. Pro kias. Same for Daniel Li. Hahaz. ALL THE PROS ALL AROUND ME. Shoujie is obviously super pro so nothing to say. Alvin the saxophonist is SUPER DUH PRO and everyone's just like worshipping him or something. He played Take Five. Hahaz. WAAAAY cool. Then Mark and his electric guitar and double bass. Shows how pro he is. And David... Just plain sick. Though I hope that the other pianists can do as well as him in time. It's hard. I know. >_< I feel the difficulty as well, but let's hope that all of us do become pro yeah? Hahaz.

Got to know Clementine, Yi Han, Kenny and Debra like SUPER LITTLE bit more than before. Hahaz. Clementine said that Kah Yoke and Andris told her about somethings... -_-. No comments. Hahaz. She kinda persuaded me to dance in front of her! Hahaz. Only a bit of n00bified top rock. Hahaz. I really suck >_<. But yeah... Hahaz. Just a tiny bit lar because I was really enjoying the drum and guitar jamming by Boon and Mark. Hahaz. Super cool beats there man. Hahaz.

Then later on, I skipped Photog because I wanted to stay to listen to more jazz and borrowed a jazz CD. Then ka jiaoed Clementine, Kevin and Chang down at the canteen. Got to know Gilyn who also knows De Hui. Hahaz. Interesting things going on in RJ. Hahaz. Then afterwards I was pestering Xin Yi and Daniel because I was horrendously bored. Hahaz. Xin Yi looks better in RGS uniform! Then again... Realised that quite a lot of girls actually do. Hahaz. Weird. But anyway, Xin Yi still can't do chem and was doing bio while Daniel was doing chem. Mass Spectrum. So sian one lor. Derrick said that a few of the questions are useless. Hahaz. I think I shall have to agree when I start doing. Hahaz.

Learnt quite a bit of electric guitaring from Daniel later on when I took out his guitar and started to play with it. Feels so great to be playing a guitar. Hahaz. But then again it always feels great to be playing a musical instrument. Always gets me so transfixed into it...

Finally Daniel and Xin Yi had to go do something(*nudge*... what is it ah?) and I just went to take a taxi. SUPER LONG WAIT. Half an hour to find a taxi to go on and go. And there was this stupid queue constantly getting jacked by people who just run to the taxis. Unreasonable people. But oh well, I'm a good boy, I lined up =D. Hahaz. But pissed my mum off going home so late...

Oh and I have to thank my dear mei for being so sweet and nice. And my bestie shennie! Hahaz. =D Love you two! Hahaz. It's great to have such good friends.

5th Feb

Spent the morning doing a savings account for my sister and me. Quite interesting, we were getting taught on structured bank accounts and how it works. I learnt quite a bit about economics and links to the world stage and stuff. Hahaz. Super cool. I think I can understand this more if I started reading economics books... Hahaz.

I have to train myself to be more self-discplined and stuff. Too lazy to do work in the interval between going to SYO and coming back from the bank. Hahaz. If not how am I going to make investments which make me money in the future? Hahaz. Because TIME IS MONEY! Lol...

Then came SYO. We started sectionals late. The violas only started at like 2.15. But it was rather productive. Realised how slack I am... NEVER practised and don't really care to get all the notes. Ever. Hahaz. But Mr Lim was looking from above. Hope he doesn't think I'm a lousy player. I like second desk. Hahaz. I would love to be in the first too though. But oh well. I'm too competitive in this already. Should be more relaxed. Hahaz. But anyway, Zhao Han and I were like darn loud, as was Wei Cheng, and we were sitting so close to each other, so Zhao Han and I were moved to the other side. Hahaz. I realised that Zhiwei's really getting REALLY good at viola. I mean REALLY REALLY good. Hahaz. She's turning into the next Zhao Han... Perhaps she'll be the viola principal in 2 years' time. =D. Hahaz. That'd be cool. J1 principal. But then again, Zhao Han might get principal, so sec 4 principal seems EVEN cooler. Hahaz. But oh well.

Sectionals were productive, created a better group. But then the viola assessments were really scary. PLUS I was just playing simple Telemann 3rd and 4th movement. Hahaz. Zhao Han was playing the pro-ded Walton Concerto, and so many people were playing harder pieces. While Christine and I were stuck with Telemann. Overplayed piece. But anyway, Mr Lim commented my bow stroke is good and likes my viola. Hahaz *looks proud* =D. Hahaz. Hope I did well to him. Hahaz. Don't want to be banished further than 3rd desk...

Then went for dinner at Genki Sushi at United Squares. Hahaz. SUPER POWERFUL WASABI. Super shuang. Choked once because I was too hurried when Mr Chan called me. Hahaz. Kept coughing. >_< But luckily Mr Chan was patient =D. Hahaz. Having violin on next Sat at 5... Gotta leave OG outing early. Sigh. Hahaz. The sushis were great. Hahaz. But the surcharge was REALLY REALLY high. Upped the price by at least 10 bucks. Hahaz. Eeps.

Came home. Watched TV. Hahaz. Rewatched the Guru. Super funny and nice movie. So heartwarming. Hahaz. I wish love was that simple.

6th Feb

Woke up at 8.30 today and went to gym at 9. Went mad again, though I had to skip the cross trainer today because I didn't have enough time. Started off with level 4 inclined walk at 6km/h, then upped it to 8.5 at the 2.30 minute. I then proceeded to jog for 17.30 minutes and then dropped the number down to 6 again and boosted it back up at 22.30 to 10.5 to finish the running. Hahaz. 3.5km with level 4 inclined and energy left. Feels good. Though shirt was totally soaked.

Then did almost a whole circuit. Did rotary arms at 50 lbs, seated chest at 80 lbs, lats at 90 lbs, leg press at 55kg, leg extension and curl at 50 lbs and rope triceps at 35. Then also did level 2 inclined sit-ups. Hahaz. TIRING!!!

Then went to shower and rushed the Wei Yuan's house for Brahms' Piano Quartet.

We really improved a lot since the last time. Hahaz. In tune and in time and the music making was so good! Hahaz. Chee Ang was damn funny lar, make fun of us and helped us so much at the same time. But I feel quite bad because the only time I ever play the piece is during rehearsals. But we still did well =D.

Had lunch at 1. Wei Yuan's parents treated us to Lau Yu Sheng and a whole of dim sum. Oh man... Super ex meal. So the 4 of us felt really bad and bought a bottle of sweeter wine to give to them. Drank a bit of greek sweet wine while buying the stuff later on at Carrefoure. Super nice. Hahaz. Especially the one with 15% alcohol. Hahz. I'm an alcoholic. Not really lar... But I know how to enjoy it.

And then there was a barbecue for Wei Yuan and Alicia's OG at Wei Yuan's place. Decided to crash it. Hahaz. Enjoyed my time there with Colin and made quite a few new friends. Got DRENCHED by Delwin because he was trying to impress his girls on how "fun" he is. Almost wanted to kill him for getting my phone wet. Lucky for him it's still alright. But I got completely drenched, worst out of the lot. Smartass. -_-. Oh and Pei Yi is pretty good with the girls. Hahaz. And Wei Yuan became the poor servant of the girls! Hahaz. And Jing Wen and Yining were listening to Colin and I sing all the songs. Hahaz. Heidi(Colin's sister, 19) was joining in the singing. Hahaz. So fun. Didn't eat much except for a few satays, a few chicken wings. Yup that was it. Hahaz. And then had a birthday cake for 2 of the guys(one's Colin, forgot the other's name). And played some card fortune telling game. Hahaz. Quite true to my scenario... Or so I hope for the second reading. Hahaz. =X. Hahaz. But as Heidi said, I'm very faithful. Only one Queen card appeared in the last stack. Hahaz. =D. Lame. It's only a card game. Hope it's true though. I'm faithful. Hahaz.

Super tired now. Hahaz. Just got back so late, kena nagging. Yup. Hahaz. Gotta sleep now.
Bye!

::Wheeee... Feels damn great. After a stressful week, immersing myself in almost non-stop violin/viola playing feels great. Especially with good players. SYO rocks. Hahaz. We're sounding better and better each time we rehearse. Lim Soon Lee is a very good conductor for us. Though some might doubt that he would be able to do as much with the winds because he himself is a strings player, but I do hope he'll bring us to the great standard we need and want.

=) Today was a great day except for one thing. And Michelle, if you're reading this... Be strong=). I'm starting to accept "not knowing" as a way of life. I'm used to trying to get to know everything. It's time I stepped back into oblivion. I'm so oblivious nowadays. Hahaz. But that's NOT exactly good... Hahaz. Advice to myself: Don't overuse words, they'll lose their value to others though they may not to you.

Edited the lyrics over and over again. Just thought of new lyrics and I'm gonna change. And I'm gonna add a bridge and stuff. Hahaz. The song's gonna turn out great... Sweet, meaningful song. Hahaz. I'm an amateur ah... Don't blame me for being lousy and taking such a long time to compose a simple song. Still finding the chords. G, D, C, Bm, Dm. What else? I'm trying to find. Yup. Hahaz. I'll take my time. I have a guitar at home anyway. Will do everything this weekend. Hahaz. I'll take this as my week's project.

Mrs Chee wants to listen to the Brahms Quartet. Oh yes, Mr Chan commented it's a very nice piece =D. That sounds good. Hahaz. We'll have to play it for her on Monday at 3. Sian -_-.
Anyway, I just found out that Grieg Sonata in C minor's the one in DipABRSM, not G major. G major's the one in grade 8. I rock. But the G major's second movement is not bad... And I'm starting to get to really know how to play as an artist, not a student =)*compliments from Mr Chan*. Super happy. Hahaz. And I'm playing 3rd and 4th movement of Telemann Viola Concerto. Again. Christine's playing the 1st and 2nd. We'll see how it goes. Hahaz.

Youth Party Committee has now reached 27. I wonder where it'll stop. We'll have to get ACJC, NJC and AJC people. NYJC already got one already. Thanks Ying Hong. Hmm... I'll try to source out more.

This morning... Was quite stone lar, was just laming around again with OG. Hahaz. Then flag raising was quite funny because the classes being checked were 1S06H and 1S06J. 6I got away without anything. Hahaz. Funny. Should here how they sighed in relief.
Lectures... were boring. Was listening to MP3s with Colin basically the whole time. Maths had something very bad happening. The lecturer got pissed that we took so long to settle down that he pulled Alvin, Marcus, Chenwei and another AC guy from 1S03Q down to scold them. Bad scene. Colin and I stopped listening to the MP3 from then on. Too scary. Hahaz.

Then came break time. Hahaz. Which was OFFICIALLY the most humiliating one because Don and I were dressing up as White Chicks. Yup. Sick. Hahaz. Will post the pictures up in time. Beware... It'll hurt your eyes. Hahaz. Ian came by and "Yi Zhe!? Okay, I don't want to know you anymore." Gwenlyn reacted quite drastically as well. Hahaz. Basically everyone who came by were just... Staring. Hahaz. Don and I were just so humiliated. Hahaz. But it was fun lar. We had powder all over our faces, eye shadows and make up. I know more about make up than Rachel and Vivian put together. That's not good for all three of us. Hahaz. Oh... And Vivian if you're reading this, your prom dress looked good =P. Hahaz *I'm evil*.

Chinese was... Interesting. We were just reading articles from the newspaper. I have to finish my homework man. But I'm so shagged now. I'm dead lar. >_<. What a bio rep AND chinese rep. I never do any of those work. And I still have to finish physics prac. Hahaz. Damn it!!!!

PE was fun. Hahaz. We had to sprint 300m and jog 300m, alternating 100m each. Hahaz. By the end of it we were playing soccer. My class was on the field. Super uneven skill levels for the two sides man. All the good soccer players save for Justin Tan, Yi Liang, and Jia Hao were on the other side. The teacher AND the only two soccer CCA guys are in the other team. The scariness. Hahaz. But we had this 3 on 1 thing at near the end of the game. Hahaz. Mok, Gerard and I were waaaaaay up in front after Justin passed the ball to Mok and we were only up against Patrick. Hahaz. Mok just kicked in the goal. Super cool. Apparently Wei Jian got hurt. I didn't know. Hope he's alright >_<. Sunnie's a really good soccer player. Yup. Super onz and super zun. Hahaz. Pro liao... I'm so lousy. *tsk tsk tsk* Hahaz. My shoes suck! I keep sliding PAST the ball. Like I was supposed to stop nicely in front of the ball, then I suddenly SLIDE so far, that I missed it by one foot. >_< Leon then took it away easily. My shoes... are not meant for playing soccer lar. Hahaz.

Okay.
I'm officially D.E.D. DEAD. Yup. Good night!

::My class is so darn fun. Hahaz. We were singing for physics and break after PE. Hahaz. Super fun. All the people giving us funny looks. But it rocks still because everyone's so cool! Hahaz. Waaaaaaay fun. We sang a whole barrage of songs, and I could notice quite a lot of people singing along with us. There were a few kao-bei-ers who deserve to be shot for simply being so "sit there do nothing but kao bei". Annoying.

Got my skirt for the "White Chicks" impersonation. It's.... 10cm long. NICE MINISKIRT. >_<. And I have to bring a singlet tomorrow to let it kena mutilation to look like some BIMBO ACT. Man. I'm gonna be sooooooooooooooooooooo humiliated. But do I care? Doubt it. Hahaz. Me and Don Loo are gonna be soooo fine looking. Yup. Hahaz...

Rachel got a new hairstyle! Hahaz. Not quite her usual style but it looks not bad actually. Hahaz.

And oh yeah, Colin listened to the Brahms Piano Quartet and found it quite raw. I couldn't agree more. Hahaz. I was STILL sight reading. Hahaz. But not that bad lar... Just need to notice my tone and intonation more than anything else. Hahaz. Quite fun lar.

Then Colin and I took MRT to City Hall, where he went to Raffles Place to go to Jurong East to do something similar to what I did. Go gym. Hahaz. I'm SUPER SUPER SUPER ACHING NOW. Hahaz. After lats in school, total chest, rotary arms, rope triceps, leg press, leg curl and seated abdominals in the gym, I'm officially SHAGGED. Oh yes did I mention? Our PE teacher made us run 800m in 3 mins, 400m in 1 min 30, 200m in 40 s and 100 in 20 s. And whole series of quadriceps strengthening programme in the midst of each run. TIRING. Oh yes... and my class is mad, we were supposed to JOG 800m and we ran it in little over 4 mins. Crap. Hahaz. Then Lee Ying and Youmin saw me and went "shit!". Is it just me or do they belittle me? Hahaz.

Anyway... I composed a new intermediate for the song and redid the words. Sounds so much better now. Hahaz. Perhaps I'll post it up on this blog soon. It'll soooo rock. Hahaz. =)
