thinks the adm library is cool because the chairs which look non-swivel-able are actually swivel chairs! woohoo. and i tell u the adm library is like a mini-dvd-library. it has dvds like batman begins and archie. WTH!
i think i can't sit still and concentrate to study for an extended period of time. i get distracted every 5 mins. HOW. the only time i can concentrate is when people force me to sit at a table and keep bombarding me with questions, ie during exams. HAHA
saya tidak boleh pengajian melayu. :( i think i can't learn languages like that - it's too stressful. self-learning is better for me.
haha nvm i s/u-ed already. hopefully can pass!
okay gonna get this jacket soon! it's called a handkerchief china. HAHA!
seriously can't wait to head on the flight to taipei! :P

woo hoo. S Four lyrics.
homework from billy requires MASSIVE amount of inspiration and brainpower. he said "你应该读多一点书。" hahah i thought that was pretty funny. haha but i guess i was most amused when he mentioned this about my lyrics - "这是现在小孩子会说的话". yay i am a 小孩子! :)
learning points:
- use more verbs to present actions
- lay your path in the song properly. must 铺程
- use more prepositions to intensify emotions / change the course of the story.
hahaa it's like primary school composition! woohoo.

huahuahua. nothing to boast about. but today was wasted.
i feel empty inside.
i vaguely remember posting pictures and commenting here and there, and watching youtube, then going for my jog, back to the house, played the keyboard and the guitar, ate dinner, one piece, and that's it.
i wanna take a break, but there's nothing to take a break from, cuz i haven't even started. HAHA maybe it's time to mug through the night.
hurhurhurhur. DOUBT so.
and finally i know how google streetview works! this! ->
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_streetview
oooo haven't been out till so late in the night.
just performed at the youth talent concert at vivocity in front of his excellency, President S R Nathan.
wow it was really really quite an experience. the moment we went on the stage we realised that the keyboard's power cable was spoilt, and thus daryl came to the rescue and performed the medley with his guitar. HE IS DAMN GOOD. (YES DARYL YOU ARE FANTABULOUS! i guess we would have had DEAD SILENCE if you were not musically versatile. HAHAH) yeah but it's a pity daryl didn't stay on for the after-concert party, cuz we got to meet some really great people who appreciated our music! anyway here are some photos :)
rubberband with the big big xmas tree at vivo!
took a photo with little aijia backstage.;)
had ivan's celebration and then supper at boat quay. GREAT to see everyone again! :)
okay time to get some new clothes, Rubberband!

thinks this explains the gap between dinosaurs and present-day reptiles...hurhurhur.
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20091120/twl-us-sci-odd-crocs-ef375f8.html
nv heard the first HALF of an album that is as morbid and as depressing as Rihanna's Rated R. Where are songs the likes of shut up and drive and disturbia?!?! DANCE DANCE DANCE....get over chris brown girl.
okay they are depressingly nice at least. (WTF?!?) oh i like the songs photographs and rude boy. :) anyway i think they sorta complement with studying scales for AB213. hurhurhur.
ok this nigahiga video is only remotely funny. but still,...okay i am sure nigahiga didn't learn grammar properly when he's younger. "why chris brown beat rihanna"??? and this isn't an isolated case. hahaha okay enough crapping.
Friday, November 20, 2009
been listening to alot of english and korean songs lately, and they sorta made me feel that chinese songs aren't as pleasing to the ears anymore. Of cuz my favourite chinese songs such as 退后 still stay, but i guess venturing into new areas and picking up new music styles are helpful. 加油。
I must overcome the barriers of the Bm and F! hahaha
and yeah. don't forget to study.
wants to work-work-work my body, but am la-la-la-la-la-zy. talk about recurring words.
argh how do i start recounting the happenings of today, cuz today ended on a bad note.
went to ps yamaha to get my capo. DAMN EX la! 22 bucks for this little black springy thing!
yeah then rehearsal with rubberband at vivo. our songs were all too slow!!! haha. anyway chatted with aijia and chenliang during our break, and i realised that aijia's really a xiao da ren. (and yes, daryl, not jia ai.) she's really quite mature and i really cannot believe that she is just 15.
and i saw Xunqi at vivo. he was performing with syco. omg so qiao! i thought the only place we would ever meet each other would be at mrs liang's house. HAHAH
okay tml sing well, play well, don't break the voice, and don't play wrong notes. :P
and my mom ate my brownies!! hahah ok la it's better this way i guess. won't spoil the throat! :P

spent 1/2 the day sleeping, 1/3 on music and youtube and facebook, and 1/6 on books. HURHURHUR
oh yes i dreamt of joshua and melvin yesterday! hahah it's so nice to see them in my dreams...HAHA really miss them man. i know lip yong and josh are back already. WOOHOO! now it's just brandon and melvin who will only return home god knows when... :(
wants to go and have a good run and sweat it out after these few days of inactivity...maybe tml when i will get better. :)
i find it amusing that there are still MCQs in uni exam papers. ok maybe i am underestimating them but still, qualitative MCQs should be easy like hell right! haha :P i seriously dun think i can get As for any of my papers since i dun study alot, but seriously, there's really NOTHING MUCH to study! everything's done and gone into the brain while doing all the projects. i guess i just need to revise and recap the concepts, and memorise some figures. oh man this is so jc geography which i love.
must remember to eat vit c tml! :)
oh and did i mention that i LOVE the weather in november and december?!

Why classics are classics. Play it, sing it, feel it, and you will know.
The Eagles - Desperado
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses ?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
...
kids don't hide their feelings don't they? they cry when they are upset, they laugh when they are playing, and they just don't get near you if they don't like u. HAHAHA

the procrastinator can never do a proper to-do list and stick to the timeline. :P
anyway got to know that the news was online too from miaoru's blog:
http://yzone.omy.sg/index.php?articleID=16159&option=com_article&task=detail&cid=144&type=
Rubberband乐团
这个乐团有个有趣的名称叫"Rubberband"。为什么取这个名字呢?
团员Nathaniel介绍说,乐团的四个成员来自本地不同的大学,他们在同一所音乐学校认识,本着对音乐的爱好凑在一起。他们希望像"橡皮筋"般灵活,不同的人可以表演不同的音乐,所以取了这个有趣的名字。
Rubberband虽然在今年才成立,但演出经验不少。他们常在Love The World Bistro Bar @ Singapore Flyer演出,也在新加坡食品展上表演过。
除了以自己的歌声、吉他、键盘和简单的敲击乐器呈现流行歌曲,四人也爱写歌,经常聚在一起练团,并交换音乐创作的想法。
heehee where is my blank piece of paper?
came across the guitar overtone by chance. HAHA
Wednesday, November 11, 2009

i think i will skip school tml. MUAHAH :)
oh the increase in frequency of blog posts is the epitome of my freedom. to-be freedom. :) WOOHOO.
woohoo. just took the malay tests with cikgu. Erm i was the only one in the room taking the written and aural tests cuz i was on mc last week. hahah quite relaxing la, sit at the back and listen to ppl take their oral tests. abit distracting to write a 50-word (HAHA) essay and comprehension at the same time though...
still have one more report to submit, which is the critique report for AB213. oh well. i think i am slacking off. and looking forward to visiting jiufen, the town that anime movie 'spirited away' was modeled after! :)
life is good. wanna have an overseas trip with my family though.
James Morrison is such a gifted performer.
James Morrison – The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore
I've been twisting and turning
In a space that's too small
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
You've been closing me in,
closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart
...
argh. malay test later! hahah.:P

well been in a pretty rough mood nowadays due to never-ending work from school and bad flu which lasted a week. HAHA yeah sometimes life is unfair right, we try to fight it but in the end we just suck our thumb and most on. having said so we do have to be strong and stand our grounds too when we know somethings are not right. but well, i am often too softhearted and end up forgiving ppl for their mistakes. and my bad memory doesn't help. :P
MUSIC!!!

ANGERED. AGAIN. BY. THE. SAME. PEOPLE.

WTH man what are u doing in my group. you frigging suck.
Thursday, November 05, 2009

Prays that there will be enough ink for all the 56 pages that i am printing for BT313. As you can see, I have been preoccupied with so much stuff late, i seriously feel that i have been overloading and putting too much on the plate, possibly leading to indigestion and vomitting. OH NO.
shall sleep for 4 hours before another day starts :)
