e s o p h o r i a - it's all about how you perceive me.

whAt a lazy saturday...

Went to aj to teach the J1s which was not tt bad, firstly they were v. attentive. They dont speak when i speak or anything, they wld ust listen n take notes when they have to and practice among themselves. What a wonderful lot. still, thats an understatement. The only thing now is to get the guitars for them, then all wld be almost perfect as i try to bridge the gap btw them and the other grp.

The meeting. baiguang joined us, kt n cheng hwan left and didnt join. Then we discussed abt how to improve and got different perspectives. If only those 2 were there cuz they were from the non music bkgrd unlike baiguang, jessica, qing ru n me. I took minutes but dont know what to do with it yet. haha. Reached home n wanted to slp for a while n set my alarm clock to 2.45 but when i woke up at 5, the clock died at 2.40 -_-"... bsss overslp. went to church, came back n slacked all the way now. lolx.

oh.. and sorry eugene for tripping u on friday. kaoz, that wound must hv hurt like *toot* and yet u didnt day anythg. peifu to the nth degree. Mine hurts cant imagine what urs is like... 1000 apologies..

Friday(28/1/05)

dEbbie's birthday! Happy birthday pal. Besides dunking them n all... I think we forgot to take back the cake from the western stall aunty. haha. diE la. Shall we eat it on monday? Free lunch =D. lolx. jk.

-fast forward-

Ended up in chs and found out that Qing Wei is back in S'pore! woO. hao jiu bu jian, bie lai wu yang? We sat there n chit chatted like good ol' friends. He came back from Australia cuz of NS. We were in charge of the BURST program in sec 3 and was a ncc enthusiast like i was. sO we juz talked n talked, and shouted at the cadets as they walked pass us, telling them to wear their uniform properly etc. As well as counting the no. of cadets who didnt greet us. hahaa. 2 of us sitting at the grandstand watching over the training program unfurling. yup. it was a nice feeling catching up with him after all this while.

Training ended up late then reached Bishan park late then got scolded by the girls.. its my fault la, dont blame the other guys. Havoc at Bishan park as we went all out to get debbie and later anyone else near us. hahaa. Didnt see db coming but still ducked and luckily only got my sleeve dirty play ah play, ran all over the park then when i threw the floor at her face i suddenly realised tt she was waering contacts *gasp. She remainded one eye blind for the rest of the party. haha. sorRie! oh.. the spiderweb there is alot more interesting then the one in Pasir Ris =)

I hope my angel is Madeline then the best present i can get from her is ah baI.. remember?? hahax. miss those birds.

Tmr the class has has to settle on what to do for the carnival cuz proposal needs to be handed in on 27th(thurs).. no time liao! Forgot to brg my guitar today.. haix. At least i 'kope' ppl's guitar n play for a while. lolx. yea. Soccer today after PE was v.fun cuz i scored many many goals. sOng bO? On form.. cant blame.. sUch nice shots smmore

U all know of any class interested in challenging our class for soccer on mon? cuz PE is going to be v.slack then can play ball first b4 going for the run which by then shld hv recovered.. anyone??

hMmmz... first time i got into contact with the new nibori guitars. lolx. Well.. i was chosen to play the alto 1 guitars.. they are v.v.small abt 1/2 to 3/4 the size of the normal guitars. Perfect for v.fast playing i think cuz the frets are v.close tgt. how interesting.. Oh.. and b4 i forget.. my alto1 guitar no. is 085819..or smthg like that. haha. its mInE for the next few mths. wadeva~

Didnt get my bach score today but nvm. One less thing to worry about for the week. And most prob on fridays i wont be in guitar cuz i hv to go back to chs which means i have to try to get the plane flying again proper which equals to having to go to amoy quee for training on how to fly it..

Doesnt matter... Ysd's whole episode of the present PD reps stepping down to let another grp to take over for points was blown astronomically out of proportion. It was just a suggestion from the 4 of us and it took one whole period to settle.. everyone was like so serious and solemn. Mr Tham even invited us to eat lunch tgt with him to discuss more abt this issue which really isnt anything much. So. -end of story-

getting abit sian of guitar, think i've been playing too much over the past 4 days.. i'll take a break, catch up with my tutorials which im v.soon going to lag behind(tmr will start lagging le).

To enwei: We will always be there for you even we dont meet often in the future, at least we will be here with you for another year =)

PE was enjoyable... 12 rounds wasnt that bad because it was done at a very comfortable pace and the weather was perfect.. A dense but mild drizzle that tickled our faces together with the regular breeze is any runner's dream during a run =)

After which we did pull ups.. Now the rotten blisters on my hand is the prove that i shall never do as many pull ups as enwei or i might risk not being able to pluck with such ease or with the grace i have longed to master...

Now im dosing off in front of this comp screen.. how dumb. I shall proclaim that Monday is my favourite day of the new 5-day work week for the simple fact that its the slackest.. haha. duh~
And im looking forward to wednesday when i'll get a taste of what im about to expect in the next 3-4 months, of at least 8 hrs a week.. haha. wadeva im also not quite sure what im writing anyway.. so im signing off here..

I juz came back from a dinner at some condo cuz the wedding couple wanted to thank my choir for their contirbution during a wedding mass... Luckily this time there were more kids there.. Instead of the usual bunch of ppl.. smtimes its hard to talk to them especially when u want to just be alone. So..there were more kids there... erm.. mostly sec3.. my brother's age, a aec 1 guy and 2 pri sch kids... We all went and hide smwhere far away from the adults and chit chatted.. lol. Then went to the playground and hanged out there... I just sat at one spot, looking at all of them having fun, playing around. I was probably enjoying myself by sitting down all alone by myself as they were talking and interacting...

I think i ate too much or smthg.. Now not feeling too well... ugh. Hope the ache doesnt come back in the morning or else for the whole day i'll hv to bear with the pain. darn.

Anyway, Sunday is always a beautiful day.. I took my time to wake up and get out of bed. And spent whats left of the morning and the whole afternoon just playing my guitar.. There was nothing left to worry about except me and my music =) Thats how life should be. Throw the books away for this weekend.. maybe next week i wont be that fortunate so i'll spend whats left of this beautiful day doing nothing.... which is quite rare in a JC life...

Good night everyone.. hoped your weekend was just as meaningful =)

And i finally am able to take a breather... For the past week n the week b4, i had been working to get the LC plane and now i finally hv it.! Sm might say "its only Line Control(LC) what" i know.. its nothing compared to the Radio Control(RC) plane but still at least its smthg.. U go n try to get a LC plane up n rAeady in 2 weeks la. Got to source for resources n pull connections n coordinate with ppl juz to get it done.. haha

Now all that stands between me and me flying the plane for orientation is the weather... Once there is rain, can forget abt it le... Cuz if lightning strikes, i'll be the first in Bishan to get it! lolx. The plane is 42 feet into the atmosphere and im connected to it by 2 metal wires la. hehe. So keeping my fingers crossed that all wld turn well... No big wind tt might unstabalise my plane.. already im only an amateur, any other funny weather patterns im bound to crash it... Anyhow, I remain optimistic :D I try to always be...

School today was more fun and not as sian as ysd.. wah, ysd everyone was like super sian diao.. ultra sian.. But today was more interesting esp during chinese lesson(?!?!) haha. yupx. Cldnt stop laughing.. duno how it started also... it was sm lame joke abt how to write a poem on the picture tt they gave us... Spencer n Enwei's poem really cracked me up. haha!

He started like this:

新的一年
新的一月
新的一日
但又回到从前。。。

This is my own intepration of the picture...

我，
自古以来在寻思，
在寻找，
那一样属于我的。
走过天涯海角，
跨过荒山野林，
终身沉默在悠愁的世界，
见不到美丽的另一面。
这次又回到原点
但也只不过如此而已。。。

Needed alot of help on how to intepret my ideas.. so many thanks to ya li, yt, ch, and xl. haha. Oh well... A chinese who cant write in chinese well... is signing off...

再见了！！

Well... I left school quite happy ysd. haha. ya

I finally passed the planes to Richard who also got the engines and everything ready le... I hope that everything would turn out fine... Weijun will be coming down to help and looks like im all set to fly the plane on Friday!! yes! The aeromodelling thing finally getting some direction...

Hope i can get more time off to do my work and studies... Chem test later, not that impt to me but still hv to pass at least...

My comp has sm virus or smthg.. always hang after a while.. ugh~ So tts why im in school blogging...

Everyone seems caught up in their own world nowadays.. No time to catch up n stuff.. After econs, xl n hl would disappear smwhere else, zk n yt are tgt, msg weijun to help, he didnt reply, capt pek also didnt want to reply... where is everyone? The only proper 'interaction' is probably in the mornings n when ppl come out of their 'world'

Can't believe im wasting time here typing this... haha. kk. got to finish my chem hmwk n eng articles!

The day has came to another end....

This morning came to school for the guitar SYF audition quite unprepared... Came into the holding room and immediately started practicing scales juz as everyone else was doin' lol.! Thats called last minute work. Audition was still okay, think everyone will get thru' tho cuz v.few ppl turned up.

After that, me n ya li went all the way to the mercy relief centre near kovan mrt station(lowland rd), famished but all ready to help out. I grabbed a curry puff b4 going to help move boxes of clothes into the store rm. Juz after i thot all the boxes were nicely put into the rm, in came another container full of more of these boxes! no choice, got cracking again...

The more interesting part was trying the..,'jack' or wadeva u call it. Used to shift huge amts of cargo. The more difficult part was getting it to move and then 'parking' it nicely into the designated area. 3 hrs passed v. quickly and we all left

Then, i was suppose to meet Richard to go n buy engines for aeromodelling... We agreed to meet at 3 in city hall but he nv turned up.! Made me wait for an hr... didnt reply my smses or ans my calls. I was so pissed off, then walked ard HMV b4 going home. Waste my time!

Best part of today, Singapore won Indonesia 3-1. yes! Enjoyed tt match. Not b4 i reformatted my comp, and cleared up all the mess, now my comp is less laggy n looking fresh~ *beams

tmr is more hmwk to do, more food to eat *grins, whats the next wk going to brg?
