What Color is Your Brain?

People, have to bring some bad news to you. Unfortunately, this will be the very last entry that I will ever post in this blog... please do treasure the recent entries for they will be the final few fragments of memories left here. Din want to resort to this, but that (the incident) was the last straw, so I have to tear down this blog. Already on the process of tearing down this blog... removed the tag board as well as the archives already... can see that its pretty empty here already...

Sorry, gonna change my blog somewhere else.. althou pretty sad that I am abandoning this site after 100 plus posts... but no choice... feel very restricted as more and more people read my blog... so have to create a new blog free from prying eyes... please do not link me anymore...

Hahah... been kind of busy lately... so couldn't blog entries as long as before... so shall make up for it by writing a long entry today!! Think will take me another 1 to 2 hours to type again... hahah!! Anyway, in the morning was talking to Soo Chin and Shufen about blogs den realised that Soo Chin printed out a couple of my entries for Wen Dtin to read... den suddenly a thought came across me... maybe next time I can print out all my entries and create a book out of it... pretty cool right?? Think can be best seller!!

Okie... shall start all the way from the beginning... in the morning woke up at about 7am cause there's gonna be band prac at 9am... when I wore my specs, found that it was really uncomfortable... think its because the night before I fell asleep while watching "The Mummy returns"... den sorta bent my glasses... so spent like 15 to 20 mins trying to adjust back my glasses... din dare to bend too hard... cause the last time I tried to bend my glasses back to its original state, it broke... still pretty sad about it... cause it took me so long to get adjusted to that pair of frameless specs and less than 1 year later it broke... so had to get this pair of glasses, which is really uncomfortable!! It din fit my head the very first day I started wearing it... went back to the optician like 4 times in one week cause really cannot stand it... anyway, thats why I often had to take off my glasses during school time to relax my eyes... and the worst thing is that it always slips off!! Haiz... sometimes really wished I could get that pair of cool specs that I've like always wanted (think my clique shld noe)... but too ex lah... hahah!!

Okie anyway, after that went to school... reached school really early!! Reached at 8.25am... 35 mins before band started lor... summore the band room wasn't even open!! So had to wait outside the band room till Shuhui came... anyway, all the teachers had to attend a workshop... saw a lot of teachers going to the santuary... even greeted Mr Lim when he walked pass... anyway, the band room finally opened at around 8.30 plus... set up my instrument.. den realised that the condition of the instrument was worse than a few days back... now cannot play a lot of notes... A LOT!! Budden din bring my clarinet mouthpiece... so got stuck playing the instrument... thinking of playing the alto clarinet instead.. cause the part is relatively more challenging than the bass clarinet's part... so maybe this Sat can switch to an alto clarinet...

Had a long warmup session... played until my mouth got pretty tired... after that had sectionals... hahah always look forward to sectionals.. cause dun have to play mah... at first moved the section to the fountain area one... budden Miss Chua said that there was a psychometric accessment test for scholars... so had to move somewhere else... in the end went to the area outside the staffroom, the area where Miss Phua always meet the NE reps...as there were no proper chairs around so the section had to sit scatteredly... so the sectional was pretty hard to conduct... summore had to practice 2 new scores... pretty foreign to me, so made a few mistakes whilst conducting... really have to apologise to my section for stopping so that I can correct my own mistakes... hahah!! Summore haven conducted for weeks... so my whole arm really ached... wonder how conducters can conduct for such a long time without being tired at all...

After a while got called back to the band room... cause received complains that the band were too loud (confirm not my section)... after that had combined... got pretty pissed at something... so din really play too well... summore my instrument spoilt so made me more pissed... actually I wasn't very sure wad I was not happy about... just felt generally pissed... well anyway after that had a 15 mins break... managed to get myself some food to bring to the stone table to eat... den crapped with Shufen and Soo Chin...after that saw my grouping for the band camp... not really happy at my group... but its okie lah... cause the purpose of camps are for people to mix... althou I have to say I am really not very good at such stuff... pretty introvert... but once I get to know the person well I can start crappin a lot... so only have a small group of close frens...

Anyway, Mr Ho came shortly... think at 12 noon... den spoke about the alumni performance for the 35th anniversary school dinner at Swissotel... think its at 12 June... he had to pick out some of the J1s for the performance cause the alumni doesn't have enuff instrumentation... den he came to us (bass clarinet section) and said maybe one of us (me or Rachel) may have to perform... cause there are no J1 bass clarinetists... ah... so sian lor... that means have to practice the scores again... summore I cannot communicate with the alumni one lor... haiz... hope he will forget about the thing and dun ask me to perform...

The band practice ended late again lor... actually supposed to end at 1pm... den ended at 1.25pm... cause Mr Ho wanted to listen to "Highlights from Chess" so had to play for him... and he took this piece "celebrations" for us to play... so long!! 6 pages lor (but still not the longest that I have played... think longest was 9 pages... stretched to about 20 mins I think... but really enjoyed it.. cause got a lot of bass clarinet solos) ... play until so sian... summore the score really very chicken feat lor... can close one eye to play one... hahah... this is the advantage of playing a bass instrument... always no need to practice one... cause the scores are always so easy!! Anyway, the song wasn't really that nice... based on the name thot that it would be those majestic blockbuster pieces... after playing thot it sounded like those children songs!!

Rushed for chem lect after band... almost late lor... ran till I was sweaty all over... den realised that the OHT had really small words... so had to shift in front... budden still couldn't see very well... den copy until I got headache... and partly cause I din eat much for the whole of today... anyway think that sitting in the front of the LT is really good lor... cause very conducive for listening for lectures... think we should all sit more to the front next time for lectures lor!! All lectures I mean... ALL!!

Think Miss Aw's consolidation was pretty good... esp the tables... think it will really help in studying for food chem... after that Mr Gwee lectured on meat colours... had to turn to look at Royston when he started lecturing... cause Royston said he always had a headache every time Mr Gwee lectures... saw him putting his hand at the side of his head... still think he was faking... hahah!! Royston seemed to be in a streak of bad luck recently... com got attacked by viruses twice, had to reformat his com, summore his new phone was faulty and he got 'cheated' of his money (the phone incident)... hope his 'power of three' can help him this time round!! Hahah!!

After the lecture went to look for Mrs Khoo with Wen Dtin and Wee Keong... found out that she had left already... so couldn't ask her the question... den Wee Keong and Wen dtin kept on suaning me again... hahah!!

Following that, we went over to the rifle range for WK to retrive his target cards and took 852... WK very funny har... want to take DIFFERENT bus today... but in the end we all took 852 together... haiz... got cheated by them yet again to take the bus all the way to Yishun... argh!! I so soft hearted... always got 'blackmailed' by them... actually we wanted to drop down at AJC to go in for fun... budden at the last min we decided not too... cause too hum... worried that we would get caught and have our names sent back to school for disciplinary actions... anyway, WK was looking at my msgs and then he commented that the msgs that I send were all very formal, hardly any short hand... are my messages very formal?? I noe I dun use shorthand, cause I am scared that people wun understand my short forms ... esp after that super horrible embarrassing incident happened which still made me so pai seh up till now... like a horrible nightmare!! Except its worse... its real!! Anyway, I dun use shorthand when copying notes as well.. cause I am worried that I wun understand my own shorthand later when I revise... so I take a lot of time to copy my notes... But are my msgs very formal?? I think pretty okie wad...

Finally reached Northpoint... had lunch at BK with Wee Keong... Wen dtin wasn't there, cause she had to go shopping with her mum... den later went over to Popular... saw a lot of books that brought back nostalgic memories... like those secondary textbooks that I used to have...

Okie... got some problems that cropped up... think I am tearing down my blog... so treasure the last few entries that I am gonna post these few days...

Wah... went to school so early today lor... reached school at 8.30 lor... cause my dad volunteered to fetch me to school... so got to school half an hour before target time... pretty bored whilst waiting for Soo Chin at the stone table... so sort of listened to music (Riverdance of course!!) and took off my glasses to rest (I can't see anything w/o my glasses... only silhouettes... suddenly thot I heard some1 calling my name den saw some figures in front of me... so I waved eagerly... later when I put on my glasses, I realised I dunno them at all!! So embarrassing!! Summore they sat at the stone table beside mine... so pai seh!! Had to sit with my back facing them lor...

Studied with Soo Chin till 12 noon... she ah... always talk about that person... still wan to deny... obssessed already lah!! Hahah!! But have to say that the stone chairs are not exactly very comfortable... sat until my bum hurts!! Hahah!! But cause we kept on walking around the school so it wasn't so bad lah...

Bio lecture was really nice... summore dismissed half an hour earlier... so got consumer surplus... went out with Soo Chin and Shufen after that... couldn't decide where to go lor... at first decided on Tiong Bahru Plaza, den changed to Geylang, den Bugis, den Far East Plaza, den Heeren... in the end went to Plaza Singapura (cause there got a***** mah!!) Not bad lah... we went to Yamaha music store and looked at some instruments... saw the alto and tenor recorder on display... really missed playing recorders!! My real interest!! But its okie... I will join NUS Pipers' Guild in future... really looking forward to that!! Bye bye band!! Anyway, after that we toured those furniture shops again... saw a lot of really really nice beds... esp those with very high bed posts and with fabric everywhere... pretty mystical looking... hahah!! Den went to Spotlight... looked at the many many reels of ribbons and the cloths on display... den talked about prom night... dunno whether shld go or not leh...

After that we were trying to find Mr Gilbert Lee's shop... saw this shop called Barang Barang... so shocked at the store!! So high class lor... den Soo Chin remembered that it was some parang store, not Barang Barang... that store very SEAsian... the furnitures all very antique looking... not exactly my cup of tea...

Anyway, after that had to follow them to look at hair accessories and jewellery and clothes... so embarrassing to be looking at such stuff lor... summore kena made fun of by then again... kept on saying that I was the one who wanted to buy all those stuff... so loud summore... and Soo Chin kept on doing her 'finger stunt'... trying to influence me lor....

Had dinner together after that... actually decided on Long John, den changed to MOS burger, den Burger King, den KFC, den Bruget King, den back to Long John Silvers again... hahah... ate till quite full... after that walked a bit more den went back home...

On the MRT, SC and SF kept on debating about someone... den started comparing the looks of people... hahah... althou SC din seemed very convinced at wad SF said.... got cheated by them again... once morefell into their trap and took the MRT to Yishun station again... wasted four stops lor... hahah!! But I too soft hearted already... always got taken advantaged of... hahah!!

Okie, gonna stop here... got other stuff to do... haiz... just realised that there will be band tmr... summore no Chem tutorial... so have to go to school at 9am for band prac... dunno wad we are playing tmr... hope is sectionals, althou unlikely... but kinda miss my bass clarinet lah... so its okie... see, I contradicted myself again... wadever.. hahah... if there is time later den I blog again lah!

Yeah. I am still awake at this hour. Actually fell asleep at 10 plus pm... budden my mum woke me up at midnight to pack my bag... could n't sleep after that... hahah!! So now I am here, practically doing nothing... except chatting with CJ via msn...

Missed the show I wanted to catch again... so sad!! But after missing so long, I dun really feel like watching it already... hahah... if I have time next Sun den I watch... but highly doubt lah...

Hahah... still listening to Miracles Happen... think I listened about 20 over times today... but still find the song very catchy.. bet the song will just keep gg and gg when I try to sleep... gonna have a tough night tonight!! Okies, gonna sleep now... tmr have to wake up at 7 plus to go to school... good night ppl!!

Din get to go online after watching Miss USA 2004, cause really tired already after watching the pageant...

Wow, this year's pageant is much better than last year's... it looked much more glamourous and more in-style... but think that last year's introduction was more humourous... with the state winners literally spinning in and introducing themselves... really funny!! However, the delegates this year weren't too impressive to me... and there weren't really any personal favourites for me... maybe except Miss Florida (she really looks like Kristen Dunst!! Summore her name is Kristen somethin one), Miss Washington (She looks very executive and confident... very modern!!) and Miss Oklahoma (In contrast, she has a very shy and gentle look... her evening gown was very special too!).

Althou it was really interesting, I was really really really tired... and I actually fell asleep after the evening gown segment and only woke up just before the announcement of the winners... so I actually missed alot in between... anyway all of my favourites din win... so pretty sad... usually my personal favourites wun even make it through the first round one... think I dun have an eye for beauty... hahah!!

Well... woke up at 11am just now... so I effectively slept for 11 hrs... but now pretty tired again!! Haiz.. always sleepy every Sunday... actually there are a lot of very interesting shows today... budden my parents wun be going out today, so dun think I can get to watch them today... cause my dad will start suan-ing me that watching tv is more important than studying (if he is in a good mood) or start yelling at me to start my work and that I dun regret if I start scoring bad grades (if he is not in a good mood)... budden studying doesn't mean that I must study for every single minute mah... so guess I can only get to watch tv at night.. but its not too bad also, cause there will be interesting shows tonight!!

Hahah... just watched the trailer again!! Really very good!! Can't wait to go watch the movie!! Have waited for the movie for 3 years already... hope that it wun be a disappointment... but wonder if I can find people to watch it with me... after all, its only going to be out in end Term 3/early term 4... if not have to watch myself lor... but its okie... after all, its my favourite movie!!!!! (Althou I am not supposed to like such movies)

Anyway, went for CIP in the morning... woke up at 6am lor... so tired!!!! Had to practically drag myself out of bed! Anyway, reached Outram Park at 7.25am... budden I din noe how to get from the NEL station to the North-South line station... so walked for like 15 mins around in the station with Jacq... in the end finally got there... by the time we were there, the queue was already so long lor!! Summore its really very stagnant... due to the large no of queue jumpers (but cannot blame them lah... cause we also jumped queue... but we only got like 3 places in front of our original position only whereas the rest just went straight to the front)... anyway, Jacq was complaining abt her heavy tote bag so I had to carry for her lor... no choice wad, I gentlemanly mah!! Budden think I look really silly carrying that bag...

Finally got my tin can after 1 hr... the person in charge actually deducted our hours lor... cause she din count the queueing time as part of the CIP hours... so suay... should not have taken NEL!!

After that went to do the donation thing with Rachel and Nicole... went to City hall and Orchard... there were only like a bunch of people there lor... so could get much donation... after like more than an hour later, we sorta gave up and went over to Plaza Singapura for breakfast... after breakfast I was really tired... so we went to do some shopping (as in they shop and I tag along) instead... hahah!! When we were in music junction, I saw this really cool pair of Sony headphones... but quite ex leh.. so even thou liked it a lot but still din get to buy.... after that we went to look at some furnitures and stuff... saw a lot of really cool furnitures!! Den I was like telling them wad kind of furnishings I would like and stuff... its really fun to be thinking of how my future home will look like...even thou it would be at least 10 years from now... hahah!!

After that went over to Times bookshop... cause Nicole needed to buy something for her sis... anyway, saw four really interesting books... the book's content weren't really interesting lah but I really liked the covers!! Couldn't help but imagine how nice they will look as paintings on the wall of my future house... hahah!! Think I really going nuts already... must watch less home improvement shows from now... speaking of that, realised that there will be "1 house 2 looks' on Monday... think I have to record that before going for lecture... yay, can't wait!!

Finally, we went to Bishan after leaving Plaza Singapura... the 'Bishanians' were really very nice... donated a lot of money... received a lot of notes summore!! But the shock of the day came when I approached some1 to ask for donation... when that person looked up, I was UTTERLY SHOCKED!!!! He was actually my AJC ex-classmate!! Think he was quite shocked too to see me too... cause after I asked 'Would you like to make a donation?', he looked so distaught and quickly walked away... we din even exchange words lor...that's how 'close' I was to my ex-AJC classmates... we just pretend that each other's invisible... how cool is that?? Actually my first 3 months seem so surreal that I sometimes question myself if I had really been to AJC for my first 3 months...dun even keep in touch with a single one of my classmates lor... well maybe except one... but we dun really exchange msgs or wad lah... just will bother to greet one another when we meet... really cool rite?? Some1 like me was actually a loner in AJC... summore was despised upon by people that kind...unbelievable rite??

Anyway, after quite some time, we went over to Cat high... cause I wanted to show Nicole and Rachel how it looked like... really missed Cat high... the teachers too.... they were so nice... then after that got CJ to join us... and we went back to Bishan MRT station again... oh yah... and Nicole found a new crush!! He was also doing some donation drive... but was for another organisation... but he was those kind of really help on his own accord kind... not because of CIP... oh, and he is a caucasian... think he's British... from his accent... and he reminds me of Jamie Oliver (yes, him again)... we started chatting and stuff and Nicole seemed really smitten with him...

Fast forward a little... soon it was 5pm and we went back to Outram... after returning the cans, CJ and I went over to PS again cause I really wanted to get my headphones... so I got it (really quite pleased with it) and went home...

Recently dun really feel like blogging too long... dunno why... think its because I am sleepy... or dun want it to waste too much of my time... anyway think I will try to write longer blog entries next time... anyway, there is Miss USA 2004 at 10pm... have to go watch!! I have always like to watch pageants since I was really young... so really looking forward to it... hahah!! Think if there is time later at 12pm I will come back online... ppl on msn try to wait for my arrival hor... hahah!!

Friday, May 28, 2004

Wow... today is the last day of the term already!! Finished 330 periods of lectures and tutorials already... time passes so fast!! Now left with a few months to prelims and A levels and half a year to... NS. Dunno whether I shd be looking forward to the june hols or not... really scared I slack too much... think I will go back to school everyday lor.. so that I wun be able to slack... actually rather have lessons... haiz... just hope I can have the motivation to pull through the June hols...

Anyway, pretty alright day today... a bit jittery during lessons lah... well its the final day of school... can't help feeling different... and time really seemed to crawl today...

From here onwards I will just provide a brief sketch... cause really tired liao... want to go sleep soon...

Shall forward to after bio prac.. met up with CJ after bio prac... he so punctual this time round!! Came straight at 5!! Think its the first time lor... hahah... den SC started bringing him around to see some 'interesting stuff'.... always trying to humiliate me...

After that went to Coronation Plaza for dinner... had to bluff CJ that it's a really high class shopping centre and that we gg to restaurant... think he really surprised to see the place we went to... hahah!! Den later went back to school to meet up with TY...

Think that Canoris pretty cool!! Saw harmonica band, guitar and ang klung play for the first time!! Cause usually band is the last musical group to perform so now finally get the chance to watch!! Althou a few parts were quite disappointing.... had a lot of fun shouting the names of our frens... overall think it was a pretty interesting concert!!

After that had to walk the main gate... cause side gate not open liao... den took bus with CJ and Wen Dtin... that's how the day passed today...

Tmr will be a really long day... have CIP (flagday) in the morning at 7.30am... think will last all the way to the evening... hope I wun get too exhausted!! Oh yah... just realised that the trailer for my favourite show is online already!! (shall decline to post the name of the show here, for fear of embassassment!! Btw, its not Harry Potter.) Catch the trailer here
