::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!
