hmm.. today is the first day of school after the long June holiday.. oso the second day of common test for the J2s.. hope the paper is nt too tough for them?? i din do very well for last yr common test.. coz i only do serious revision after prelim.. haha.. so dis common test mayb juz a test to test which chapter u r really weak at.. and start to focus on them? Heard quite alot of J2s saying they wun do well for it.. i would say if u din do well it might nt be a bad thing after all.. firstly it can really make you to realise how much or how in-depth u've or have not study and motivate you to study more seriously?? and secondly you can see more of your mistakes so that in the real actual exam you are able to avoid them?? Anyway.. test=learn frm ur mistake and not how much u've scored..

wake up around 1000.. went to call cmpb abt my resumption of NS.. they told me to go online and get it done.. finally finished it at around 1200.. went downstairs coffee-shop for lunch.. shortly after that i took bus 105 to go IMM at Jurong East.. whao its a v long journey.. went there to visit Band World to search for saxophone mouthpiece.. IMM is damn big oso.. i had a hard time searching for the shop.. so get help frm ko.. ya and he told me dat is the only shop tt is not listed in the directory of the building.. wad the hell man.. but stil i manage to find it.. it was in the warehouse area.. guess wad.. the shop was close lo when i reached.. ko say its either they nt open or they went for lunch.. i decided to wait for half an hour more.. hmm around 1500 i went there again.. opened finally.. phew.. didnt waste my long trip there after all.. another surprise shock me.. they dun hav the sax mouthpiece tt i want.. haiz.. so den went back home.. another 1 hr ++ journey.. zzZz.. reached home den played gunbound.. and after dinner went online.. around 0015.. went to my bed and rest..

okie.. back to today.. today i performed at vch.. for maris stella sec alumni.. got a few played there like ko.. edwin.. hwa ee.. sam.. kenneth.. jason.. ya we played inn of sixth happinesss and princess mononoke.. we played quite okie.. we've got a very full sound.. but intonation stil abit nt there.. haha but considered quite gd liao coz we only have like 4 prac in total.. hmm.. the conductor was a wasbe conducting scholarship personnel.. and his conducting reminds me of yibin sia.. but who cares.. juz play lo.. one thing muz comment.. hmm our audience count is....... damn little.. close to playing to an empty hall.. den after tt went to eat at the mac again near the mrt there.. after which around 2150 we took mrt home.. 2315 reached home.. feeling v tired and finally in bed by 0050.. zZzz...

today band starts at around 1000.. i was abit late.. haha but like nt many ppl present.. den i knew it was sectionals till around 1200.. abit bored man.. got irish tune and les miserables scores... whao.. les miserables nt easy lor.. haha like got 6 sharps!! power sia.. first time seeing this.. ok den around 1200 me mark alan jason sazali and yu ngai went t mart mac to eat..

back to band again.. at abt 1400 dr lee came.. we first played Irish tune frm country derry.. must really say dis piece LOOK easy but actually difficult to play.. dr lee was very ver particular abt how each sections play.. i played it once during my band fest.. i tink coz its only 5 days so the japan conductor din really go into detail.. but den today thru dr lee i realised every sections actually play very differently.. be it phrasing.. accent.. dynamics.. ALL are different.. so dis piece is very very precise.. and i tink got some professional level on dis piece.. cool composer.. lolz..

den after dat played armenien dance.. err.. i tink we agar agar played thru.. coz dr lee din really go into detail.. i like the part Furioso!! damn fun lor.. and fast.. yea den after band went to play soccer awhile.. gana chased out by the auntie sia.. all of us like bad mood liaoz.. PISSED.. after dat went tampines mall watch movie wif some of my section ppl.. watch the Hitchhikers guide to galaxy.. the show is so so freaking CRAPPY sia.. haha but its funny oso la.. got 1 part when 2 men were being thrown into space.. they actually calculated the probability of them picked up and saved by some spaceship.. lol and its like 1 : 2 to the power of 2 billions.. blah blah.. haah.. crap man.. so to crap ppl out there.. dis is the show for ur...!!

hmmz.. i tink one can make him or herself feel that living each day will nt b wasted.. by making urself learning sth a day.. its like a small lesson.. can enlighten urself.. like today i learned frm dr lee abt the conducting thing.. which uses 4 parts of ur hand.. fingers.. wrist.. forehand and elbow.. amazing facts.. i din noe till today lor.. ya.. i feel today is nt wasted after all.. okz.. 0015... time to slp liaoz..

yesterday sth funny happened.. nt really very funny though.. yesterday my family went suntec for dinner.. and after dinner i went to the toilet.. ok den when I came out and opened the door a lady was like standing in front of me.. like wanting to go inside the toilet.. and looking at me as if like i went to the wrong toilet lidat.. haa.. i stunned for like quite awhile and was like tinking.. erm i wun b so blur and unlucky ba.. den i turned back and look at the sign in front of the door.. phew.. a male toilet.. haha den i like look at the lady again and point to her the male picture sign.. dis time her turn to stunned!! lol.. she den said sorry and went off to the other side.. cant imagine if i were nt there and she went straight.. -_-''

ok today i continue to read "Angels and Demons" today.. getting quite boring and i sort of guess who the real mastermind behind all the kilings.. so unexpected.. really.. beginning of the story the author nv write any bad description abt tt man.. can say the man is pure and innocent.. die die oso cant link him to those killings.. ya but the end it was he who did it.. i tink it apply to dis present world.. anything can happen at anyone time.. you may nt know it WILL happen till it really happened.. u may tink it might be some illusions going on in ur mind tt dis things is impossible to happen.. but den.. it juz happened b4 ur eyes.. and at tt point of time ppl always cant tk the kind of situations.. so.. i tink ppl shld b prepared.. for wad u tink it might nt happened..

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

*Love the heart that hurts you.. but never hurt the heart that loves you..*
