PONYO! (pronounced with 2 same high tones)
I enjoyed watching this movie.. it gives me such a simple and innocent feeling (: ponyo is just a 5-year old creature and the "love" between her and sosuke is just so innocent and sweet. I feel so comfortable watching it haha. Yay!
School has started and i think i am still in the pseudo-holiday mood. People around me has already started studying already(a bit exaggerated but it's true!) so i am a bit stressed now. Plus the amount of band work and issues and problems coming up!! ahh.. *holy* stress ah~
Last semester result is not as good. I really have to buck up now le in order to do Honours by the end of Year 3.
Rochor Tau Hui never fails to disappoint. So yummy and delicious. Guess its the company too (:

THIS BLOG IS OFFICIALLY DEAD................
haha no lah.. just kidding.. its just that i am too busy to log in and write in stuff.. many things happen since my last posts.. hmm.. result wise.. its quite a disappointment.. despite i spend more time studying compared to last semester.. camping in library.. the result is just nt satisfactory.. sigh.. so does it mean i shld just slack more (like 1st sem) and get a "better" result instead?? -__-'' life is uni is really so competitive sometimes.. its so completely different from jc times.. siann.. sometimes i think nus is a wrong choice for me eh..
hmmm currently i am having my reservist in pasir ris camp now.. zzz.. its a 11-day ICT.. but luckily tmr is the last day! i feel so old suddenly.. like when i am wearing my army uniform and taking bus to my camp full of sch kids in the morning.. just make me feel i dont belong to their generation (am i exaggerating?? HAHA) and also we have to do duty with the NSF.. i think the feeling sux lol.. for me and for them.. anyway because of that i can't play for commencement on monday.. feel so sian when you are in camp doing your duty and you picture your band mates having fun performing outside UCC.. i think its just my luck =(
i am looking forward to the band chalet which is... today! (aka the last day of my reservist also phew).. i like never go for any band chalet since when i am in j1? still remember that time the chalet is at changi there.. quite creepy as the old changi hospital is around that area but we all have fun playing games and exploring places heh.. i hope this chalet wil be as fun!
gd things always must come to an end.. i have another manning starting next monday.. so sian.. it lasted for a week and it clashes with my SOW prep camp.. zzz.. i am still in the midst of deciding whether to go or not.. well.. shall see the seniors attendance HAHHA..
waking up at 545 tmr.. its time to slp!

last thurs.. the band committee meet up again to have a post mortem abt In Tempo 08.. a so called review and feedback abt the concert.. it lasted from 7 to abt 10pm.. a 3-hr meeting.. cloud and yokes were there to assist us on any pts that any of us have missed out.. a v fruitful meeting indeed haha.. to me.. cloud's batch of committee seems more efficient and more powerful den us.. yest i have a short conversation with yokes abt this and she said that maybe partly because in my batch of committee there weren't any experienced committee members inside to guide us abt how cfa and ucc works.. so i kinda agreed to this point and i am also very proud of my batch of committee because all of us did a very gd job on in tempo (given it was a really big scale event due to 40th anniversary) although there were problems encountered during the preparation of it and so on.. but i believe if we cont to be in the committee we would definitely be as efficient as cloud's batch.. right ex-co ppl??? =)
and so after yokes and cloud left.. we continue to hav our meeting abt upcoming events and oso abt the elections.. for upcoming event jama said that we are invited to join a so-called "tertiary band festival" for all tertiary band in singapore.. this is so cool man.. finally got a chance to perform with the other uni bands.. it was stil undecided but jama's asking the band on this upcoming thurs.. BUT theres a prob.. it clashes with my ICT!! damn.. i hope i can defer this time round.. den there was this world music competition.. we were quite keen of gg for it and mr tan oso dun really mind.. yea its another overseas trip again!! so many exciting events coming up.. looks like this holiday i am getting busy again.. for the elections.. it seems like alot of the comm members are running again.. but for smaller post.. i am stil very undecided.. at first i made up my mind that i will nt run next coming sem.. but den this meeting is kinda like a psycho-ing session.. den my decision shakes again.. zzz.. shld i run..???
anyway.. after the band meeting.. i went to meet up with kiong wee and cliques to catch a 1.50am midnight movie at cathay there.. titled "Sky of Love".. it was indeed a worth-it movie abt this relationship between a sch guy and a ger.. starting part of the movie was rather weird and nt very well flowed but at the end.. it was really touching and nice.. it really touches the inside of your heart.. i would nt mind watching it again! japanese movie rocks =) so when it ends it was abt 4am already.. and all of us took night rider bus home..
what a long day..........

a very bad start today.. i woke up with a terrible headache.. at first wanted to help the exhibition team to reach at 12 but the pain is killing me.. went to have another 30min slp b4 i prepare my stuff and head to ucc.. quite a number of ppl were alr there helping the last bit..
so the rehearsal starts.. it was very short though.. but the pain has yet to go away.. struggling my way thru zzz.. the concert went quite well.. comments were rather positive from the audiences.. it really creates the feeling the composer wants to portray.. so i would consider it a sucess!! and i heard mr tan really teared during the last movement of planet earth.. it was so grand and yet touching when it comes to the gaia hymn part.. the sound juz fill in every corner of the hall.. well done !! after the concert the committee are suppose to entertain the guest and vips.. it lasted until 9.. before my section went to swensen at holland v for dinner.. not b4 long.. there was a bad news abt out exhibition item is to be removed from ucc or else they will impose a 1000 dollars charge.. kinda ridiculous.. because it is sort of like a mis-management of the ucc staff.. zzz anw we quickly eat and went back to help to carry back the stuff back to cfa.. our initial plan - k-boxing was cancelled partly bcoz of tt.. argh.. wad a day for me..
last but not least.. thanks so much for those who came.. =)
i realise it's the same thing happening again.. it sux and i hated it.. a point of no return....

oh man.. let me see.. i 4 mths nv update le!!!
anw.. i really cant find a suitable time to settle down and peacefully write a post.. argh..
I was reading all my frens blog and den suddenly have the urge to write again.. hehe
sorry for those who are waiting for the update lolx.. i shall write in err more often.. LOL..
so much things happen.. hmmm dunnoe where to start ahha.. ok start from my last sem exam ba.. i spend the whole of studying week revising and preparing my exams in the sci library.. mug until they finally broadcast their short piece of classic and old yet catchy music at 9.45pm sharp.. haha i din have this mugging habit when i was in jc.. so i tot i might get quite gd grades and cap but den.. i nv get the grades i wanted to.. i guess i have chosen 2 wrong modules.. not trying to find excuses but its really the case.. hmmm.. except for my 3 compulsory mod that is preallocated.. i try bidding for those that i am interested in but still kena outbidded.. mayb because i was stil a freshies then so i am not very familiar with the bidding system and stuff.. so i happily anyhow bid for 2 other mod.. tts when i regret.. and 1 i even have to su it.. so i swear the next sem i sure choose properly.. haha.. ended up current sem i took only 4 mod!! dun ask me why.. =P
den there comes a brand new yr 2008.. i celebrate my countdown with my jc fren.. as usual its super crowded at the esplanade area.. but we are stil able to catch the amazing firewords around the field near the memorial area.. one of the pics taken is actually my msn dp.. yea.. going back time was tough.. we can get stuck at 1 spot for like 5 min.. ppl were anyhow jaywalking around.. police was there but i guess it didnt help to settle the situation much..
semester break was only 1 month long... so super short.. den the current sem came.. i applied for hostel for this sem and i got into ridge view residence.. its the old kent ridge.. not the high-storey and new type haha.. its erm quite cui man.. have to do lots of cleaning up with my room mate which is also 1 of my chem major fren.. at night theres alot of insect sounds.. and lizards sounds coming from like everywhere.. partly because my room was at the corner end.. near to the "forest" area.. and 1 of the surprising that shock me was the appearance of a rat there.. although erm haha its a "rat" yr.. but its seriously disturbing us.. the rat is actually "living" in my room.. everynight at about 1.30am plus.. i saw it running across the table and climb up to somewhere near a ceiling area.. i went to check and true enough there was a hole there.. and tt might be the place where the rat may "live".. so my fren and i went to consult the residence in charge and call the pest control guys to have a look.. so they went to put some sticky trap everywhere.. and some rat poison into the drain area... so a day later.. as i was leaving my seat and going to the toilet.. the same rat appeared b4 my door.. zzz.. it looked very weak and restless.. so it muz be due to the rat poison from the drain.. so my fren and i went to put the sticky pad next to it.. with some food at the centre of it.. and so it went in and trapped.. i must say the rat is really strong though.. i think if the rat is not poisoned b4 tt.. it is strong enough to get out of tt sticky trap.. and i shall not say the disposal part lolx..

an end of Italy trip means start of school term!! just some updates on post-Italy events..
i had this science orientation week.. SOW.. basically some "camp" to let u noe more frens before school officially starts.. its a four-day camp and stay in.. but apprarently due to some other outside committment i cant stay for all 3 nites.. so first day we have this station games.. whereby games are allocated to different areas in nus.. so basically spend whole day walking around.. and there's this game which played on the field.. called the "hamburger game".. so each person is supposed to represent some ingredients in a burger.. and so when the station master said the type of bread he want.. we'll have to stack up (by lying on top of 1 another).. and we were like sian diao.. cause its after rain some more.. and its full of mud.... zzzzzzzzz... other games are so-so lah.. and surprisingly despite our og being the "not-very-on" og.. we got third overall.. how contradicting.. haha.. following days we have some cors briefing and mass dance.. its quite fun and i must say the lead male and female dancer dance very well and very competible.. third day i did not attend the activities because of some other committment haha.. flag day i did not go too because i was very sick and sentosa day too.. because basically all members in the og is not interested and so all never turn up.. lolx.. but the movie night with sp i attended.. together with the rest of the og members.. my sp is quite an outgoing person.. and she's from sajc.. for the last programme of SOW we have rag day.. its held at the padang and the weather is freaking hot and because i have yet to recover fully.. i feel dizzy most of the time.. and so science fac won abt 5 medals in total.. but still not enough to get the chancellor's shield.. very tired after that.. but i still go for badminton after that =) and so was totally "cui" by the time i played finish.. haha..
on the 12/8 we have this post Italy trip bbq session for all those who went to Italy.. its at east coast park.. me daniel and hs went to rent bicycles while nick and ben go rollerblading.. had some fun.. then awhile later went to set up the fire.. the pit was very camouflaged.. with the top covered with trees.. so quite a lot of ppl turn up.. and the catered bee-hoon is nice!! overall it was enjoyable..
we had a surprise celebration for yoke's birthday as well.. also a bbq session but this time its at pasir ris park.. the pit is better den the one at east coast.. and because our actings were so gd.. yoke's really got a shock surprise!! =) can see that she's very touched by what we've done.. it must be the best present she had before she have to leave for overseas for SEP.. on her boarding day we went to see her off too!! already at the airport around 2am plus.. we wait till abt 4am den she arrive.. so we took pictures and all that.. and den bid her gdbye.. my lesson for that day was at 9am.. i've got basically 3-4 hrs to spare and going back home and coming back was quite stupid.. sooo.. to maximise the time.. i suggested nick to drive me to yishun mrt (so he could go back fast and rest) and then at the same time i can go school from there by mrt.. and i reach school at about 8.30am.. haha.. but was feeling damn tired when the lecture starts..
jama is the new president for nusws.. congrats to her.. i believe she can handle this position well =) the welcome tea for nusws was gd.. many freshmen turn up.. for my section alone.. we have abt 15 ppl.. haha.. a BIG saxophone section.. but then in the end we have 12 who are joining us for Da Capo.. its on the 27th Oct.. University Cultural Centre.. and i was being "pushed" to be the sl for my section because the seniors do not want to -_-'' i had to say that being a sl is not easy.. firstly i am stil quite new to nusws and secondly i am just a yr 1 freshie!! hai.. but wads decided is decided.. we ended practice around 9+ for section interaction and food session.. i did not have the chance to eat the food as i was busy handling the new freshies.. the next practice was the committee election.. i was the run-over assistant librarian.. and the combination of sl + asst. librarian is really not very easy to handle.. but i will try my best and work well with the rest of the committee =)
school life for the 1st 2 wks were pretty ok.. though the 8am lecture for tuesday and friday is a bit irritating.. so coincidental that mon i had sectionals and thurs i had main band prac.. in which both days i will reach home rather late.. and the following days i have 8am lectures.. how coincidental!! third week comes the tutorials and lab session.. and i hardly have time to rest from the timetable i have now.. i've also got a hard time catching up my chem modules.. its just so physics.. and i hate it.. till a point that i actually wanted to change majors.. its still pending.. but i guess i must settle it soon..
problems just keep coming up.. study.. family.. and even frens.. my life is sooo screwed.. i need a break...

Italy trip - Day 10 (10/07/07)
another super early morning for us.. omg haha luckily its the last day that we need to wake up this early.. and we set off to..... Firenze!! again its a 4-hr journey and so we make use of the long time to get back some of our sleep lolx.. Firenze is just a normal town to me and not as impressive as Venezia.. we visited another cathdral again and paid 2.50 euros for the entrance fees.. we had lunch at the MacDonald at the central train station.. and prices are about twice that of singapore.. but of course the size is abit bigger.. but i stil find that its not very worth it.. tonight is the last night of my stay here in Italy.. have some photo taking with our host family.. hmmm mixed feeling..
overall the Italy trip was indeed very enjoyable and fun.. we got to learn more about Italian's culture and stuff.. if there's another chance.. i would definitely come back again =) some very special thanks to my host family.. for taking care of us all these while and preparing super ultra good food thats much much better den singapore.. i really love that haha.. and definitely not forgetting those who are involved in organising this Italy trip in one way or another.. thank you =) hmmm.. i think the first thing to do when i get back to singapore is.. to eat the bak chor mee!! hehe =)

Italy trip - Day 9 (06/07/07)
waking up at 5am is damn shiong lah.. but we've got no choice hahah and the bus came punctually at 7.30am and so a full 3-hr excruciating bus ride starts.. luckily there's a 20min break in between for our toilet breaks and stuff.. upon reaching Venezia we took a short boat ride to one of the station called S. Marco.. we did alot of shopping there.. bought souvenirs for my frens too.. and overall Venezia is really a city not to be missed.. when goin back that time.. we met cedric's grp.. and unfortunately zhe guang lost his boat tics and we decided to accompany him to walk all the way back to the main station.. very long walk plus super hot weather.. tiring indeed haha.. we bid farewell to those who are staying in Venezia and extending grp.. had our dinner at the break time again.. reach back host's hse at around 11.30pm due to traffic jams.. did a little packing and prepare for Florence tmr!!

Italy trip - Day 8 (05/07/07)
woke up rather reluctantly this morning.. at about 6.45am because both of us were so super tired.. we set off to Lake Como at 8.30am.. another bus ride of about 45min and we reached this ultra beautiful Lake Como.. but before that we went to visit another cathedral.. yes another cathedral again lolx.. and den we roam around the town until 11.30am before we take a boat to another nearby town called Bellagio.. boat ride was very shuang and enjoyable.. especially the breeze that blow past you plus the scenary on the both side of the lake.. we were sitting at the top part of the boat and there's this chimney that emits black smoke and some "horning" sound once in a while.. very loud indeed.. quite irritating though haha as we have to cover our ears and could not do anything.. joined jama's grp again while roaming the beautiful town.. as usual we had our gelatos for about 2 euros.. visited some roadside shops that sell glass silk and other souvenirs.. time really flies and its time for us to leave the town.. had hainanese chicken rice for dinner again!! lolx.. and there's this marching band thing going on in the Besana square.. we attended it but it was so super crowded.. and since i cant view much anyway partly because of my height haha compared to those Italian's and so ended up playing cards in a small cafe nearby while waiting for the fireworks to start.. the 20-25min fireworks is so nice lah.. so enjoyable.. and the last part is.. totally owning!! lolx.. last part of the day was bubble-wrapping our instruments and sealing them with tapes.. and again we have to reach back home early because tmr we will wake up even earlier.. 5am..
