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..
