Friday, June 19, 2009
:]

yaye! just came back from class outing @ pasir ris park!!
lols; was damn fun even though our bbq didn't work out (expected)

desiree they all bought chicken wings, hot dogs, fish balls and marshmallows!
:] the chicken wings were so not edible, took damn long to cook plus our fire was super duper small..
but the rest were quite edible larh :]

rui xiang was like so cute lor, he was fanning the fire and trying to get it started the whole way!
i think we won't even have hot dogs or fish balls to eat if he wasn't there!

hmm, it's like most of the time fires for bbqs can't be started without the help of an adult..

lol, but it was still damn fun cycling and chatting etc etc

there was this time when we were walking back to the bus stop, then i crept up to yating, and she didnt know i was there then she shouted, "HUAAAARRRRRRR!"

hhahahahahahaha. I LAUGH LIKE CRAZY!!

jing en so sexy today
wear tanktop + tube
hahaha too bad yong tao not there to admire!

cycling was fun fun fun!
but we had to walk a super long distance to the bike kiosk cus the pit was at the extreme left of the park
and i so long never play swing already!

i think my hair was screwed up. looked real bad in the photos
nvm, haha. pinned up my fringe.

chatting with hassan now.. :]

Saturday, June 13, 2009
well well. recently still a bit busy :]

PARTIAL SECTION OUTING
went to causeway point yesterday to buy presents for Zoelyn and Donna
"Siyang won't come one"
"Ehh, no gift ideas o.0"
"A bit quiet ah, let's play the 20 things game :]"

ok, so as u can see, we didn't really make a card for Siyang..
it's just almost the same situation as trumpet's Daryl, just that we really really ended up not making for him.
we decided to make cards for the two of them first, since the shops weren't open when we reached the place.

when we were done with the cards, we went to get a present..
but we ended up just getting two 2.5 reeds WHICH WERE FRIGGIINNGG EEXXXXX.
bloody, they cost $6 each!! woah!
VICTORIA, u better stop spoiling your reeds regularly like, say once a month or something =.=
IF NOT I FORBID U TO CHANGE REED!

went to pizza hut after that.
FELIX TEO was ruining our drinks by putting cheese and chilli powder into Vic's and my drinks =.= urrh.
waited damn long.
I decided not to call the waitress/waiter after I got dao-ed once since Felix keeps teasing me.
After that, i just let them zi shen zi mie. I don't mind waiting anyway... in the end no one got their bills or orders until vic or edlind decided to call the waitress. pls la, i was pissed can?

Went home after that.
really irritated when ppl such as xxxx keeps bugging me and asking me what to do later, etc etc.
I ALREADY SAID, i'll keep u informed!
somehow i regretted asking some ppl to go.
anyhow settled the meetup and went to sleep for an hour before preparing for the VS concert.

VS CONCERT MUSICAL WORLD 23rd
Met up with Ash, Apple, Yuwei, Say hua at JE mrt station.
took the train to raffles place.
Met aloysius there.
what.
got our tickets, etc..

Hmm, sorry Sam, i think we wasted your free ticket.
Anyway why was there a paid ticket inside? :] Thank you for your kind intentions anyway!
We were at the counter, asking for an envelop under "sam", then we waited damn long still dont have.. hahahaha.
In the end i found out it was reserved under my name o.0
hehh :)

saw Mr Tan before we went inside. Said hi, didn't really talk much cus we hadn't much to talk, really.
I went in with the other girls first, while ash and aloysius waited for donna and joan to pass the tickets.

Apple saw 'her' Jeremy. HAHA. quite cute sia :]
okay, maybe cus it's a boy's school, quite a number of the guys in vscb are more shuai (seriously
) than perhaps 90% of the guys we have in band. *thinking hard for the 10%, cnt really find one o.0*
lol, we're just so evil.
i think understanding a person more leads to more conflict sometimes.
i'd rather stay more distance to someone, cus gradually we find out that we'll see more and more qualities of the person, usually those that we dislike, especially ppl of the opposite sex..
why? i can't say. but i guess it's just human nature to actually find the lousy qualities in someone, rather than the pros.

hmm, u may be thinking i'm actually refering to someone in particular, i'm not. i'm just stating facts in my opinion.
and maybe u can say it's just me with my eccentric temperament. but i can really get nasty or cold when i get particular about that irritating-ness of someone. once again, i'm trying not to be specific.

we were actually quite smart to kope the second row seats. haha, the sound was powerful enough from there and u can actually seeee everyyyyone up close :]

the played their syf piece and etc, i must say, it really isn't surprising they're a gold band.
they don't freak out under pressure or in front of audiences and their technique is goood, seriously.
sigh.. memories from syf '09 are starting to pop out in my head..
once again, i shall bring out the fact that i felt that we did pretty well during practice. somehow or rather we made A LOT of mistakes during the actual thing. we lack experience.
i think it'll be good if we get a chance to actually perform on stage more often. be it in front of the school or outside. it'll do us good, since from my past experience, things DON'T screw up in the band room. we screw up most of the time on stage.

woah, for saxophones, i think they did very well.
they didn't stick out from the band when they're playing.
AND ZOMG HASSAN WAS A KNOCKOUT DUDE.
his solos were just... WOAH.

which reminds me, i'd better work on my vibrato :]
long year coming up ahead!

didn't see sam, i think he was sitting on the third chair from the front.
i only saw the first and second.
but i saw him once when he moved to the second chair!!! :]
for once piece only, sadly T.T

i really liked the idea of the soloists standing up to play for selected pieces.
1. it takes courage
2. they sound better

their concert was goood. i mean, yea, darn, it's at VCH.
but i sincerely hope that for this year's concert, we can achieve the same standard.
both in terms of musicianship and entertainment :]
they've got an interesting percussion ensemble piece,
really cool emcees (the guy in black with a white vest is darn good emcee!! will talk about him later :])
and their alumni band was great also. but a bit loud. haha :)

Bella Notte Musicale III shall also have:
1. at least a section ensemble piece, or combined section piece
2. good emcees. (lol)
3. great pieces (duh)
4. hopefully the ticket's not free like previous years..

aiya, next time then think. a bit early :]

at the end of the concert, when everyone cleared, i think i saw SAM! :]
some guy was waving at me at the end of the concert..
"woah, that guy looks like sam!"
then i looked around and saw no one, squinted for a while and started waving hysterically back at him!!! HAHA :]
lols;

had supper without aloysius, cus he had to go home.
ate mac :]
in the end i think i had motion sickness when i took the long long ride~ home on 106!

oh yea, speaking about the emcees,
the emcee i was talking about, he said this joke, that i got almost immediately after he said it (i'm usually quite lag at jokes, so..)
There were three hollywood actors, Vin Diesel, Jack something (i don't remember) and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
When asked which musician they wanted to be, Vin Diesel said, I'll be Mozart.
Jack said, I'll be Beethoven.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said, I'll be Bach.

GET IT? hahahaha. just by the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger acted in The Terminator, and there's this super duper famous quote from his, "I'll be back."
HAHAH :]

wheeeee! VSCB CONCERT WAS A KNOCKOUT!!!
and i just love the vs boys! :]

NHSB 3RD ANNUAL INVESTITURE
a bit long ah, this post. i also know =.=

woke up at 7 even though i reached home at i-don't-remember-what time (super late)
after eating supper. :]

got ready, didn't bother ironing my shirt and skirt cus it was quite neat and looked like it was pressed already :]
took a bus, blah blah blah with say hua.

reached there.. blah blah blah again..
then the thing started.
Donna and Benedict step down ler T.T
lol, Vera didn't go, so I couldnt claim my present. haha!
Only Zoelyn gave me the chocolate (which darn, had quite a bit of liquer inside.)
:]

helped Ash wrap his pathetic sweets for YiQuan. =.=
in my construction paper. he's like darn lucky i brought my sticky tape and stuff lah, if not i see how he tear the tape off..

gave Zoelyn and Donna their presents. Before we even knew it, SiYang was gone already o.0
not that bad lah, actually :]
i think we all felt quite bad, cus Siyang did buy chocolates for us.. heh..

camwhore in the band room for damn long..
then by the time we went down for the buffet lunch it was like long gone already.. in the stomach of the band members :]
hahaha! :)

we went down, and yijun, junjie and sharon were like half-mugging already T.T
haish.. that's what jc does to u.

okay, now i shall comment on the posts.
Benedict gave quite an inspiring speech, which would be perfect if his voice wasn't that monotonous..
Donna's was short and sweet, but rather motivational.
Ash's was reallly short. But i think the way he delivered his speech was very good. It sort of just threw the points he wanted to convey without being diley-dalley.
Aloysius's was.. erm, sorry to be mean, but one word describes it all, failed.

lol.. he kept stuttering, then he was practically repeating what ash had said. sian.
heng sia. jerome and i don't have to give speech. haha :]

sheesh. joe jee got discipline master. wow. i mean, he's always the only one eating in the band room. not sweets. chicken drumlet somemore o.0

mr tan gave a little speech also. which wasn't very little o.0
quite long. haha..
he talked about victoria tan. he said she improved a lot, then i think quite a lot of us were like, where got.

haha.. life's like that. i shall mug tmr. havent really touched homework.
don't feel like doing cip next wednesday, or should i?

in love with toy story 1&2! <3
chanced upon this youtube video about tim allen (buzz lightyear) talking about tom hanks (woody) when tom hanks won the afi life achievemnt award in 2002.

then i saw a few other vids about george lucas, who won the same award a few years later.
DAMN FUNNY, u shd see the vids about what other artists talked about them during the afi life achievement award ceremony!

FOR STAR WARS FANS!! (Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the orginal Star Wars Trilogy roasts George Lucas!)


Check this out too, Tim Allen on Tom Hanks

TOM HANKS!

I truely admire this man. I've never seen a Hollywood actor who's actually able to keep a marriage for 20+ years and still love the same woman so deeply after having kids and stuff. Dude, they're Hollywood actors for goodness sake!

Yea, i know. You'll probably be saying I have a preferance for older man (check my top five fav actors/actresses on facebook), but there's just something about this man that i truely adore and admire. Gawd... I'm like so frigging jealous of this guy. And btw he's a distant relative of Abraham Lincoln. :]

Urhh. Been watching youtube videos on him from 9.30pm until now. I need sleeep. CIP tomorrow.

went to west mall just now.
dad bought me a cd, i'm guessing it's cus he used my name to buy this microsoft office cd (students got offer) then i asked him whether is the cd for my com, he said no. followed by an awkward silence...

HAHA. aiya, my com already got microsoft office...
but darn. yesterday tried to dl a software to type chinese for the chiense blog, but i couldnt cus it says 'office xp' required. wtf, i've heard of microsoft xp, not OFICE XP!
=.=

oh well, i'll just get a copy of wadever thing hsiao lao shi's gonna give us from someone else. heh heh.

shall listen to my cd. it's a selection of songs from disney movies.
i had a cd almost the same, just from those older movies (and i till rmb it costs $8.90), but i lost it quite some time ago..
this one costs a frigging $17.95.
and there're lesser tracks..
oh well. i dont take economics, but what's the word.. starts with re-something if i havent rmbed wrongly.

band tmr. see who's free to go movies with me :]
