Life's been pretty hectic recently.All them rehearsals, school work, school projects, tests etc. I'm glad I managed to make time to pop by the Asian Civilization Museum today though. Caught a performance by Sari-Sari and had the chance to drink with them all after the performance. Was my first time watching a kulintang ensemble performance and I must say I really do enjoy it very much. I really

Been so busy lately that its just kinda nice to be able to chill with Clare and James over at UT Starbucks last night. Some stuff said over coffee made a few things connect better in my head. For the sake of ________, I sincerely hope you were not like that. ( Though its really hard to believe otherwise. ). Also, despite everything, it was really funny to see the message i didnt read before i

When the going gets tougher, I call out to God for help. But sometimes.. I just really feel like telling God that I'm not strong.. and I really wanna give up and just sit back and focus on what I'm doing. I'm so tired.

2012-01-31T04:37:00.001+08:00

Its currently 4.19am and I'm still up with a pile of tissue right infront of me. Woke up with a migraine earlier on.. and it annoyed the hell outta me for the rest of the day. The fact that I had my blood test + doctor's appointment + lecture + major class all on the same day didnt help at all. On the bright side.. platelets were at 200,000++ today which made me really happy ^^ Oh, and I got to

I may be tiong but I dont automatically register chinese idioms/phrases/poems/whatever unless they leave a deep impression the first time I hear them. One of such stuffs: 马善被人骑，人善被人欺。 Thinking over those phrases, and also what Mervin said almost a month ago about.. continuing to be nice and stuffs like that. But you know, sometimes, I'm just so tired. 我累了。 ------- I'm too tired - I will

2012-01-23T15:55:00.002+08:00

Like I said, there is a blog post that's long overdue but I really dont wanna blog about it just yet. Not until this crap is outta my head. Meanwhile, I'll allow myself to indulge in some.. picture posting to get some stuff outta my mind.. -shrugs- somehow i'm just glad we never met. i dont know how i'd react to you after. people cut themselves up physically to relief themselves of emotional

2012-01-22T20:39:00.000+08:00

Hey guys! A big shout out to everyone: GONG XI FA CAI! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Like I've told Mervin, I didnt make any new year resolution this year during the ang mo new year. Guess I'll make up for that by having a Chinese New Year resolution. I'll aim for a list of 10 first. Hehehe. ------- 1. Honour God in my speech and behaviour ( which was part of the reason why I told Qabir I need to cut out

2012-01-19T02:11:00.001+08:00

Was supposed to blog an overdued loooooong blog post but I suppose those can wait till I actually have the mood and time to blog about it. Meanwhile. ------- 1. its nice to know that others in the same situation as me are feeling the same way as i do 2. as a Christian, I know that we've been told to 'come out of the world' and not behave like how ppl usually would in this kinda situation 3.

2012-01-10T13:53:00.004+08:00

Right.. so I havent been blogging regularly and I do actually have a lot to blog about. Guess I'll start with recent happenings since the blog post about the Indian and the KL trip ( Yes I went to KL again during the last week of Dec and spent my new year there too )'s already long overdue. Anyway. Gotta meet and get to know a new friend over this holiday.. and he happens to be the 'Trumpet God'

2012-01-05T20:50:00.002+08:00

Lol, God speaks to me in funny ways sometimes. I wasnt even aware that I was thinking of what I'm thinking.. until He nudged me quietly. Okay God I hear Youuuuu.

2011-12-26T12:53:00.001+08:00

Christmas's always been a season of love and giving. Its been an honour to have met Emily and Jinxing ( mIRC dont count! lol! ) over at MTDC, and even more so to have been invited to be part of their very special day yesterday. Their wedding! Got pretty sian trying to snap the pictures from this angle because the photographer kept moving around and covering them -grumbles- but he's just doing

2011-12-25T02:41:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas everyone! ( I know its only Christmas Eve but whatever =p ) This Nov-Jan holiday's been pretty awesome thus far.. which kinda explains my absence from the blog. I have MANY many many many many things to blog about this time round so just bear with me yeah? ------- November (end) - Early Dec So.. Louisa came down to Singapore for a short holiday during our exam period. Was

Havent actually been blogging properly for almost a month already. Brain's not running as quickly as I would love for it to.. Still digesting some information, and processing others.. Sorting out some stuff too.. while also deciding on stuff. Had no idea I was thinking about it that much until I started noticing that my head felt kinda heavier than usual. Will update more after I'm done

2011-11-27T20:24:00.013+08:00

Kinda took a hiatus from blogging since my last (sorta) proper entry on 15th November due to the many rehearsals, projects, papers, examinations coming in my way. To cut things to the chase.. MY EXAMINATIONS ARE NOW OVER!! Actually, that's since Wednesday, but I just didnt have the time and energy to blog after having fun day in and out ever since then. So.. this entry will be a pretty long one

2011-11-20T20:10:00.000+08:00

Not exactly in the mood to blog a long entry - Promise to do so after my papers! Decided to blog a short one just to vent my frustration on my uncanny ability to lose stuff. Its the SECOND time I've lost my NUS matric card + ezlink card already. Though to be fair, the first time round wasnt really my fault since the waitress cleared it off the table and threw them away when I was out at Changi

2011-11-15T21:10:00.005+08:00

Don't know what you do to me butEverytime I'm with you it's a natural highIt's like re-discovering EdenWith chocolate -coated rainbows and cotton candy skiesAnd everytime you look my wayI wish I had the guts to say There's something in your eyesSomething in your smileSomething in the way you move meYou make me want to singMake me want to danceMake me want to cryI'm falling in love with you.

Benji was just sharing this song over MSN a couple of hours ago. I was sposed to listen to it, and then try to figure out where he 'embed' it in one of his compositions. Helps that 听海was pretty well written with good lyrics. The song's so emo! I was just telling Clare how I need to listen to more DBSK *hearts*YunHo*hearts* to help balance myself up later. Went on to talk a lil more to people

2011-11-13T13:02:00.000+08:00

Its just annoying when people insist that they've told you something and you have absolutely no recollection of it. and then you sense that they are kinda annoyed but you're like 99% sure that whatever they said happened before never did and then you realise you probably made urself look like a liar the feeling you get when you werent lying at all but the other party probably thinks you are.

2011-11-10T14:18:00.001+08:00

Yoohoo people~ I passed my Final Theory Test!! ;)Not a big deal I know, but its kinda a big deal after you factor in the fact that I was practising in school till 11.10PM last night and havent started on it at all. Xinglin was so sure that I was gonna fail it. PICTORIAL EVIDENCE What made it worse was the fact that I'm already kinda tired by the time I got home.. um.. so.. I fell asleep

2011-11-09T00:40:00.003+08:00

If time can teleport, then that's what it's been doing for the past week+ or so. My eyes are threatening to shut on me as I sit here documenting the mundane events of my life. Well.. a mundane life made awesome by awesomezzz people ;)Saturday was spent teaching as usual.. Benji was kinda grumpy that day coz I kinda dragged him to the SCO concert Qin Li-Wei was playing in. ( Clare couldnt make it

2011-11-03T20:09:00.001+08:00

I'm gonna take an hour to practise later. Beethoven's killing me. Oh btw, this is long overdue.. but. Maybe you should quit being delusional about how perfect you (think you) are ;)

2011-11-02T21:14:00.000+08:00

EURGH. Kinda sux being down with the cold. I can hardly play anything on my instrument. Kinda feel like smashing my trumpet in the wall now. and its days like this when chancing upon pictures like that on FaceBook help to keep me going on my practising.

2011-10-31T17:10:00.001+08:00

Havent had the time to blog properly since I came down with the cold-bug approximately 4 days ago ( not flu since I'm currently having every single symptom possible except for the fever ). ---------Friday--------- Friday started off with a quiz for my Late Beethoven module. I'm gonna do better for this quiz than I did the last time round but its not gonna be the kinda result I hope I'd get. Oh

2011-10-29T13:39:00.000+08:00

Okay I've officially fallen ill. The sore throat + runny nose + blocked ears + heavy headedness from Thursday night till now didnt go away. Arghhhhh.

2011-10-27T01:58:00.001+08:00

It's been more than 15days since I last updated this little cyber space of mine. Too many things have been happening over the last week with all the term papers due(d), concert rehearsals, concert, solo trumpet work premier ( Meiling's composition ) and other stuffs like that. Anyhows. Spent some time having a talk with Q this morning.. and I find it pretty amusing how people try to put all

2011-10-11T15:30:00.001+08:00

The speed at which this semester is flying by scares me.Its already week 8 O.O!! ( or was it 9? ) I'm just glad that in the midst of all these chiong-ing.. I've managed to take time out to chill with a few close friends ^^ Attended David Garrett's private showcase at Marina Bay Sand's Diamond Avalon on Thursday with Xinglin who was so excited to catch David Garrett live in action. ( Just

2011-10-10T00:10:00.000+08:00

I hate it whenever someone close to me put him/herself in danger. Especially life-threatening ones. I'm currently still in a state of shock.. gonna catch some sleep. Will probably blog about it after I'm done with school tomorrow. When I'm in a better state of mind. Meanwhile. *chants*itcouldhavebeenworse*chants*

2011-10-06T15:34:00.002+08:00

For you. You know, there are just some things that I'm too shy to say in person ( to anyone lah ). I dont know if you'll ever end up reading this.. but here goes! I'm just really glad we had that talk. It cleared up so many things on my mind. I dont know how to describe it but it just kinda feel like I'm no longer fighting this battle on my own. The feeling's pretty awesome when you know that

2011-10-05T22:24:00.001+08:00

I think Corrine May's an awesome singer.Truly anointed by God. I've always known the story of how Jesus took bread from a boy and broke them into pieces to feed the thousand people present.. but I've never thought of it the way Corrine May puts it in her song 'Five Loaves and Two Fishes'. Personally, I love how this song actually speaks to me. I know I'm not the most angelic person ever. ( Not

I think, you'll be better off if you spend less time offending people with all your nonsensical bitchings. #justsaying.

Went for an SCO concert last Saturday with both Chi and Tua so we'll have something to write about for our concert review. It was a Children's Day concert. Gotta admit that the conductor was pretty good at capturing the kids ( even old kids like the 3 of us )' attention. Everyone present were just so excited about the entire thing! "Guan Yu, I dont know why I feel so excited na!" ~Chi~ when the

2011-09-30T02:32:00.001+08:00

Its 2.16am now and I'm still awake trying to memorise how each of those Beethoven sonatas sound like. This is after I'm done with my analysis of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Frankly speaking though, life's been 100% more awesome than before ever since I've made the wise decision to drop Singapore Studies. I dont freaking give a damn if a 'W' ( Withdrawn ) shows on my transcript. TO ME at least, its

2011-09-18T23:17:00.000+08:00

School's been so busy I hardly have time to blog about my life this semester. On a happier note : I've decided to drop Singapore Studies - Nation Building. Reason being.. well.. I just needed more time off to practise + let my brain rest. Further more, I don't think I was gonna survive looking at the rate that the readings were coming in at. Analyzing Beethoven's works already took its toil on me

2011-09-05T21:19:00.000+08:00

I'm sorry to say that but conversations between us tend to feel really one sided. I dont know where this is all heading but it really just feel like I'm the one caring most of the time. I guess I'm starting to understand what Q mentioned before. The part about keeping stuffs to youself? It gets frustrating. Then again I probably shldn't care anyway. Did I mention that most times I feel

2011-08-31T23:39:00.001+08:00

>:( So how do I bring my playing to a whole new level?How am I gonna make the sounds I produce into music?How do I become a better trumpeter?How do I become a better musician? Puked my breakfast out and felt real horrible this morning. Think its to do with the increase dosage of Azathioprine. Thank God Dr Ng has since allowed me to cut the dosage down. Hopefully things will get better from now.

2011-08-29T22:55:00.000+08:00

ZZZ Cant believe I spent the entire night + morning having diarrhea. Sucha horrible feeling. My heart sank the moment I started my course of diarrhea in the middle of the night. Gosh! Why today! I was gonna have 2hrs worth of major class. Thank God for charcoal pills though. Kinda like a God-send especially since I was already feeling like jelly right before noon recital from all that stuff

2011-08-25T19:50:00.002+08:00

School's been pretty okay so far.. really busy but busy's good ;) My first major lesson on Tuesday went well.. apart from the fact that I kinda screwed up big time on Mahler 5th's opening despite having done it a million times. Argh. Never mind. It'll get better. Tried and tested something and it seem to be working so yeah I'll keep working on it for the time being. Trumpet playing's getting

The distance between us even when we're just right infront of each other.I dont quite know how to put it.. First major lesson of the semester's gonna be on tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about it ;)It feels good to be busy once again. At least it keeps my mind off things.. for now.

2011-08-17T10:48:00.000+08:00

Nothing much have happened over the last week in which I have not updated. Guess the most exciting thing that happened to me was dimsum-ing with Benji, Qabir and Claudia on Saturday right after MTDC. Food's great as usual.. a pity they kinda screwed up the zha jiang mian the day we went. T.T Spent some time hounding insurance companies over the last week with regards to my medical bills.

2011-08-08T00:18:00.001+08:00

It's been a week since I last updated this little cyber space of mine. This week was spent mainly meeting and catching up with friends who came back from all over the world. It was great fun meeting up with Huiling and Moses over at Tampopo on Tuesday right before the Orchestra rehearsal. I'm just gonna skip Monday coz nothing much happened =p Some Black Pig Ramen thingy. It was both Moses and

2011-07-31T11:12:00.002+08:00

So its been almost a week since my last blog entry. I'm currently playing La Belle Dame Sans Regrets sent to me a few days ago courtesy of Qabir Singh Sandhu ( did I get it right this time? ;p ) to chill myself out because something happened. Again. Anyhows. The results for ABRSM Grade 8 Piano Practical Assessment's out already. Thought I was gonna fail aniwae but hey! I scored more more than

The past few days had been kinda crazy but manageable.Spent Wednesday at the hospital speaking to 2 doctors from the rheumatoid department that were telling me about some medication that they might put me on. One of the doctors seemed pretty defensive when I said I wanna read up more about the said medication ( since side effects might cause problems to my eyes ). Said doctor went on to give

2011-07-19T23:29:00.000+08:00

As a Christian.. I've heard the story of how Jesus took the 5 loaves and 2 fishes a little boy handed over to him.. broke and shared the pieces with thousands of people with basketful of leftovers to be collected. I've always thought of that as yet another 'miracle story' in the Bible and never thought much of it. All that changed when I listened to the new Corrinne May CD I bought while CD

2011-07-17T18:03:00.000+08:00

I have so many thoughts in my brain running around right now that I dont quite know how to pen/type it down. Perhaps.. like what Benji said, I'm too random. I guess it may be a clique thing since Clare, Wynne and I are all equally random. The coolest part about it is how we manage to understand each other perfectly well though others around us may not know what we're talking about. Probably why

2011-07-17T00:31:00.003+08:00

I'm actually really tired.. but this song Qabir shared with me a few days back after our biking trip's really nice. So much so that I have to share it before I transport myself to dreamland ^^

2011-07-13T12:20:00.000+08:00

I'm left with just 1 more month before school starts. *grabsface*. Enjoying every bit of this holiday though ^^ Its really well spent compared to the last few holidays I've had hehehe. Well spent.. in terms of both time and monetary wise. T.T Yesterday gotta be one of the more tiring days I've had since the holidays. I actually went cycling from ECP - Changi and then back again with Qabir. Like

2011-07-07T17:37:00.000+08:00

Whew. If you guys have been wondering where I've disappeared to over the past few days.. It's my piano exam today. Its the first time I stepped into an ABRSM music exam feeling so underprepared. How bad was it? It was so bad that I actually felt bad for the examiner who had to sit though half an hour of whatever I was playing. What's most disappointing about today was the fact that I actually

2011-07-05T14:59:00.002+08:00

I think I'm weird. I actually feel more comfortable giving someone a gift/treat than being on the receiving end. Just the other day.. Jo and I went out and she insisted on paying for the meal since it was a really belated birthday dinner. Just didnt feel too comfortable with the fact that someone else is paying for the meal >< It's just me I guess. On a sidenote.. Went shopping the other day and

2011-07-02T09:51:00.001+08:00

No I'm not retarded or mentally challenged. - It's just that I didn't grow up in an English-speaking environment and have to take a longer time to understand what you just said in English. That was in primary school. I did pretty okay after that.. Scoring my first ever band1 in English at Pri4. Distinctions for English at O levels too. No. It's not that your lesson's boring or that I'm

Finally got my teeth checked at the dentist's on Thursday with Xinglin since he so kindly offered to drop me off at Novena Sq ( !#!@# he was there to trade in his iPod Touch since it refused to cooperate with his PC ). Xinglin was just staring in amusement as I wrote repeatedly on the piece of paper ' Idiopatic Thrombocytopenia Purpura ' under the ' Known Medical Condition ' section of the form.

2011-06-24T10:47:00.000+08:00

So much pent up emotions within. I guess it must be important for it to show up even in my dreams for the past few days when I usually go through dreamless sleep. I guess it must be important since I've been consciously/sub-consciously trying to push all thoughts of it out of my head to concentrate on other stuffs for now.. but have failed. I guess it must be important since.. sometimes.. it

So I've done all these ever since I came back from Minneapolis: 1. Attended a rehearsal for a concert 2. ( Guest ) Played for a concert ( in which I was sight reading most of the time ) 3. Caught a concert 4. Ate a lot 5. Lost 1.2kg without doing anything 6. Went for a blood test 7. Came back from a KL trip with awesome people like Benji, Qabir, Clare etc. ;) ------- I kinda like how I

Today ( 28th May 2011, Minneapolis time ) marks the end of the 36th International Trumpet Guild ( Its 3.25am 29th May over here now). I've learned so much.. seen so much and met so many new friends and acquaintance since the moment I got on the plane headed for Minneapolis. It's been a week since I left Singapore for Minneapolis all alone and I've discovered and grown to know more about myself,

2011-05-24T15:05:00.000+08:00

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE ( okay it's actually 1.14am in Minneapolis right now - I'm jet lagged. ) Its been a looong ride on the plane for this trip. My butt almost dropped off loh. zzz. On a brighter note.. my trip from Singapore - Tokyo for transit was a really comfy one since I had the entire row of seats to myself. I got to lie down the entire way and have 3 awesome screens to myself. Caught '

I know I know.. I said I'd blog by Tuesday but I hadnt.. because too many things happened over the past few days. Anyhows.. Here's an update of my life ;) ------- Friday The day I came back from Redang. I was so tired from traveling that all I wanna do was to unpack and rest.. Obviously that didn't happen since I received SMSes/MSN messages/Facebook messages with regards to rehearsal

2011-05-16T14:51:00.003+08:00

So its been 3 days since I returned from Redang + KL.I'm starting to suffer from withdrawal symptoms already!! So we ( James, Wynne, Ray and I. Clare left for Redang from KL ) left our sunny little island on the morning of 9th May'11 for the crystal clear seas of Redang. Wynne and I were having an awesome time shopping at the duty free shop until this SKII woman came and hog up the queue at the

2011-05-09T03:24:00.000+08:00

I loathe the times where I have to spend speaking ( or trying to since half the time is spent explaining every single obvious detail to them : like, "a rambutan needs to ripen before u can eat it or else it wont be nice okay?" , or trying to baby them since they can get pretty defensive over the slightest matter.) to people with a poor command of the language they are trying to communicate with/

2011-05-08T16:34:00.001+08:00

Past few days've been really exciting with so many things going on! Spent most of Friday shopping around with Clarissa for Wynne's present ;) and... CLARE DROVE!! =D( and I was GPS for the day. both of us so wanted to kill raymond when he called and made us do a turn earlier than we needed to. !@#!@ ) Emmy was just so glad ( initially ) that it wasnt Qabir who's gonna be driving.. coz chances

2011-05-06T02:32:00.000+08:00

So the exams are over ;) Year2's over too! Everyone was so 'high' even before our last paper ( Patrons of the Arts ) was over. Most probably because we didnt know how to study for it. In any case, we had fun in the seminar room when Budi + Ray engaged in some 'fighting', clare and i in some leg-shaking, Budi dressing up as count dracula with the piano cover draped around him and Ray finding

Dedicated to Chiam See Tong and all Singaporeansby Lin Shiyun on Sunday, 01 May 2011 at 04:31 I will describe to you my memory of the conclusion of his speech, which took place after quite a long pause. I imagined that his team was worried it would be too tiring for him to continue, but he insisted to carry on. Like a grandfather telling a story to his grandchildren, Mr.Chiam told us how

The GE fever's getting kinda exciting ;) The GRC I'm in's currently contested by both PAP and the WP. Just today.. a team from PAP led by LTY came and did a house visit. The bro and I were woken up in the midst of our sleep so we decided to pretend no ones home anyway since we wanna avoid the embarrassment of opening the door in our messed up hair and unbrushed teeth.

I'm left with 2 more days before Jury2011 is over. I'm more than well prepared for this but I have absolutely no idea why I'm still feeling all nervous-ish.. though recently I've started to feel more excited about it rather than nervous. Simply cause I have to do justice to the music I'm playing and not just be a midi machine for the 15 minutes that I'm gonna be before the jury panel. The Lord

Woots its Sunday again! The past week's been really crazy with all that planning for alumni band going on on top of all the projects due on last Friday. Apologies for the lack of updates ( not like most of you have the time to read blogs at this very moment anyway =p ). Attended my last major lesson for the semester with Bill on Monday. Was pretty nerve wrecking since its also the last one before

Haven't been updating this little cyber space of mine simply because I've been too busy to do so. The past week had been pretty awesome apart from the fact that I didn't do as well as I would like/could have for the last MCM project. Eurgh! Can't believe that I left out important details like the instrument it was written for. I was so careless when I transferred the details. Lesson learnt!

2011-04-05T23:51:00.000+08:00

Past few days' been really insane. Didn't even get to sleep on Sunday night coz I was busy rushing out an essay. ( and caught a cold in the process which got my nose leaking like a burst pipe ) Eurgh. And I think its starting to leak again. =( I've decided to not take the panadol. Good Night world! I hope sleep's the cure to it ;)

Its Saturday night. My only Saturday off this entire month >< Spent the entire day cleaning up part of the house and getting rid of whatever was in the laundry basket. Like I told Claudia earlier on in the day : "I spent the entire day doing nothing which required the use of my brain." Then again, I probably should give myself some credit since Qabir did mention to me that being able to do

Yesterday marked the end of the concert all of us were busy preparing for the entire month. The entire journey was a wonderful one as always. Always exciting with Uncle Lim Yau since you never know what's he gonna say/do next. When I was wayyyyy younger, Lookit used to share his experiences playing with the orchestra ( then known as the PCO, Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra ), how scary Uncle Lim

The recent spike in theft cases in the FishAquarium's been getting out of hand. Lost iPhone4, iTouch, iPod classic, money etc. all within the span of one week. Whoever is is, hopefully all these will stop soon. If you need money, ask and you friends will be more than willing to loan it to you if you are really in dire need of it. Resorting to steal will only put others at inconvenience. Esp. in

When I was 10, I accidently threw the drawer key of my table into the locked drawer through the hole of the stationary compartment and ended up locking everything ( including the key ) in it. Left without the key, and a locked drawer.. I knew that dad was gonna lash out at me if he found out. I prayed and told God 'God! Help me to open this drawer!'. I stuck my thumb nail into the keyhole and

I've got a tooooon of stuffs to complete this weekend. Nope they are not backdated homework. Just got piled up with a lot of stuffs recently. The fact that today's self-practise didn't go as well as I hoped didnt help either. People ( not particularly close to me ) please dont ask me to do anymore surveys. I dont have the time/energy so yeah I'm gonna have to give them all a miss. *grumbles*

2011-03-26T03:04:00.000+08:00

Been rolling around on the bed for awhile already.. can't seem to sleep. I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF TODAY! I didnt cab ;) and I was early for every single lesson/rehearsal etc. today. So apart from that. Everything else that happen today was pretty #!@#! 1. squished a bug ON my foot 2. stepped on the same bug again when i came out 3. was hungry all throughout rehearsal 4. hanming fed vitamin C to

Eurgh! Blood pressure was exceptionally low today. 90/54. Wonder what caused it - but it kinda paralyzed me temporarily when I had to lie down and not do anything coz I was just walking around the house dropping things on the floor every 5 mins. zzz. Need to get it checked out soon at the doctor's soon. Probably due to stress I guess? Past few days had been great! Had the chance to be part of a

Its been a short break since I last blogged - been really busy and I have lessons early tomorrow so I'll do a short one ;) The daughter of the organist at K&N's wedding last Saturday ;) She's so adorable!! Everyone's been really busy/ill recently.. I've kinda been bogged down by lotsa work too. With God's blessing, I've managed to get some *surprise* turn up that is really unexpected.

2011-03-12T08:48:00.000+08:00

zZz... So its been 3 weeks since I started coughing. No wonder I felt some abs -_- Anyhows... School's been really busy. Still floating and swimming on top at the moment.. just trying really hard to not drown. Glad I have friends in school to pull me out of the water when I'm drowning. Thanks guys ;) For those not in the know.. All of us at YSTCM had an awesome noon recital this Monday by Yang He

Time is really flying crazy this semester. Time to review my practice techniques. ------- I told you my shoes were too big - you didnt believe me. Do you believe me now? No you dont. You never did. somehow you seem to be the only one who think that I'm lying to you perpetually.

2011-03-06T02:08:00.007+08:00

Zzz gonna sleep any moment right now. Oh! It's my first time blogging through my phone. It's so much slower than me typing -.-， Anyhows.. Bro got his results on Friday and was pretty happy about it. So much so that he actually opened a bottle of red wine and downed it to celebrate. On the other had, ChiLing was so awesome that she got herself an entire strin of distinctions ;) All of us felt so

Met up with Lizzy this morning so we could pop by NIE to catch her pop band's performance. Since Lizz was there very much earlier, I kinda ended up practising in one of the practice rooms available. Told Lizz I'd scare myself before I scare anyone else with my own playing after the doctor banned me from my trumpet. Was not entirely well today though.. Throat was still uncomfy and I had 3 ulcers,

To Do: ------- 1. MCM composition 2. Complete the tests 3. Greg's blog post for the week 4. Grab more people for the alumni 5. Read up so I can have a more fruitful theory session on Sat 6. Draft up a plan for the alumni ------- On top of what I already have to do. Looks manageable at the moment. ivedecidedthatidontreallylikewhatsapp. Past few days had been okay-ish I guess.. Just that I

Came down with a fever last night ( 39.8 deg ). Thank God for Dr. Cheong. Saw her today ( Sat ) and felt better after taking the prescribed medicine. Whew. Was just telling Qabir that I've been seeing so many doctors recently that I should be giving them my name cards so they can approach me for their kids' future music education. LOL. Oh wells. On the other hand. =) ------- -------

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE ;) Havent been updating the BlOg for the past few days since I've been trying to swim in the sea of assignments that we've been given. Much like... Heh! Anyway. The iPhone arrived on Wednesday morning 9.30am-ish. Its so awesome! Couldn't understand what's so addictive about angry birds until Yiang Shan showed me the different skills every bird has -_- One of the first

2011-02-21T02:35:00.004+08:00

Havent had the time and energy to blog for the past few days. Its been really fun, fulfilling and energy consuming though ;) Went off to meet Benji on Friday afternoon to grab a tie coz he burnt the one he was supposed to wear on Saturday -_-" Went right off for our last rehearsal before the concert on Saturday and had an awesome time taking pictures of the section with Benji's iphone.

Our time was not respected.Our profession was not respected.Education was not respected. Now what. What do you want me to do?I'm not in this for the money. During times like these..It really makes me think of MDSES and what he taught us about the heart.The heart's no longer there. I saw that familiar blue hanging on the wall.What happened?

2011-02-16T21:34:00.002+08:00

This is the 4th time something like that happened. And its not even been a year yet! OH MY GOD. Hopefully a 5th time doesnt happen because if it does im soooooooooo gonna explode. once : maybe you forgottwice : maybe you were busythrice : maybe you were carelessforth : im reaaaaaaaaaaally patient alreadyfifth : seriously.

-slams head on table- Gonna be leaving the house in another 5 minutes to school. Will be doing the recording for Hindemith. *yawns* I'm actually really tired.. and I've been feeling pretty unproductive these few days because most of the time's spent recording Charlier1. Dat almost fainted when he found out I played continuously over and over and over again with just a minute's rest in between.

2011-02-08T13:40:00.000+08:00

Thanks for showing me what I should not be doing. and i've learnt to not trust everything. because. CT lesson 1. "the size of our palms are different"

Lord, I hand over all my burdens and worries to You.Hold my family, friends and I in Your hands as we return to work/school this week.Help me to survive YST for the next 2 days without my beloved jacket.Thank You Daddy Lord ;)Amen!!-Guan Yu-

2011-02-07T00:42:00.000+08:00

I'm just really sick of having this feeling that I'm being made used of. Why am I always there when you needed help but not the other way round? Who are you to tell me not to speak in that way about someone who has treated me unfairly when you aint even watching how you spoke to me about my friend. Who are you to try to guide me when you aint even there for me when I needed you ( amongst other

2011-02-06T00:50:00.001+08:00

Happy New Year everyone ;) Past few days have been really crazy and fun! Heh!! New Year's eve was sucha rush because I had to complete Dr. Onishi's project before I could go out to meet Emmy. Had left my wallet with her the day before when we went shopping for her new year outfit ( with Daniel ) and before we caught Burlesque. Speaking of which.. Burlesque was really pretty awesome. Christina

2011-01-30T15:57:00.001+08:00

The past few days have been really hectic - hence the absence of newly updated posts. Anyway. Nothing out of the ordinary happened this week so yeah, really like how peaceful this week had been. Awesome week actually! Apart from the fact that I lost my owl on Friday. =(. I'm guessing that it probably fell off in the cab/in school. Chee Weng was so mean when he said ' HAHAHA!!! 有没有看到玻璃碎片！' (

2011-01-25T18:32:00.000+08:00

You think the world of what people think you are You think the world of how people look at you You think the world of money, status and fame There exist no opinion to call your own Conforming to your surroundings, like water to a jar. Hollow and empty, you are nothing but a living shell. Soul-less. Void of love, joy, peace. Listen..! The scream and the cry. All just for the world to look. All

2011-01-25T00:42:00.001+08:00

Its now 11.50pm ( according to my wall clock ) so I shall attempt to finish this post in 10mins and KO on my bed to prepare for lessons tomorrow morning. Gut feeling says I wont be done with this entry by 10mins. Havent blogged in the past couple'o days.. and I would say much have happened since. Friday was a pretty interesting day with all that floating feathers ( from a feather duster ) and

Thought things were getting kinda strange a few weeks back but it wasn't confirmed until a few days ago I think. Strangely, it's not affecting me as much as I thought it would. I won't let it anyway. This semester's kinda busy so I guess that's why I'm kinda -shrugs- well.. I don't know. Had a good talk with Clare, Qabir and CheeWeng about it and I'm kinda feeling strange after CW and Q gave me

Got this off facebook: I've built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain ------- food for thoughts? things would be so much better if people actually shared what they think instead of just going MIA.

2011-01-18T16:11:00.001+08:00

ZZZ. I'm supremely sleepy at the moment. Just came back not too long ago after having spent 1hr+ queuing up at POSB to replace my ATM card. I think the card got sucked into the machine yesterday evening while I was too engross in my conversation with both Huy and Dat who were right behind me at that point in time. ( Yeah yeah Benji said I'm a bodoh for allowing that to happen -.- ) Don't
