是邱比特的箭硬,还是死神的爪强?Can anyone answer this question?

I think this is going to be the first line of my 邱比特的失误 之 胜洁恋. I've really been really lazy in writing it recently, though mostly it's because I have no time, since I'm working now.

I'm working at CTSS, as a clerk in the general office, doing data entry. My fingers are being worked to the bone but the ladies in the general office keep feeding me over and over and over again. No surprise if I put on 10 kg in my short stint there.

Giving Sinyee japanese tuition this Sunday. Omg, long time never teach japanese liaoz. Hope I don't teach the wrong thing. =P

LaserQuest with NUSSD guys today was FUN! Though I suffered a small injury, it was still great overall. Thank goodness I'm finally starting to warm up to them a little! Had a great time playing, chatting and eating today. Hope we have another outing again soon.

Buying new clothes soon. Sian. Dun really know what to buy. But I seriously need new stuff. Lots of it. But where to get the money from?!

I need a hug...

Went for SYF Concert Band Presentation at Esplanade yesterday. I really must highlight some of the players there.

ACS(I) Percussionist and Piccoloist
The piccoloist really had an excellent tone with very strong support. I could hear it so clearly and well-pitched right from the back of the hall. Really great!

The percussionist looked like a crab! He handled 4 mallets at one shot and played the xylophone and the bells at the same time! And he juggled between 4 different instruments at one time. I think nobody was looking at the wind band. Everyone had their attention locked onto that percussionist and I dare say 70% of the cheers and claps at the end of the performance were for him.

AJC Piccoloist
I'm in love with the AJC Piccoloist! Omg, her tone and pitching were really nothing short of excellent. I really can't believe that AJ band's standard has rocketed to this kind of extent in such a short time! I think Alvin Seville must really be swelling with pride.

NJC Flautist
NJ flautist who played the solos in Celebration had a great tone too! And the vibrato he employed in his solos was really something else too. Penny was swooning over how good his solos were too. And guess what, he's my junior, Darrin! XD

I think on the whole, it was a pretty good performance. Apart from listening, there was a fair bit to watch too. Many bands had plenty of movement, solos and goodness knows what. First time I saw electric guitars being used in a concert band performance. LOLZ! But on the flip side, it was also painful to hear clarinets and oboes squeak, trumpets mispitch and what not. Especially when that instrument is playing a solo and it becomes painfully obvious. Haiz. I think towards the end, the high mood got dragged down quite a fair bit by NJ band, since every other band had lots of movement and things to watch but NJ band's performance was rather high-brow, so I feel the mood got dragged down a little.

Been feeling extremely tired recently, as I've been sleeping at midnight and waking up at 5.30am, owing to the fact that I've started work. Working as an admin staff in CTSS isn't really all that tough. It's just the darned fact that I've gotta wake up so early every morning. Yawnz.

And I've finally got my wish! I'm having my 21st birthday party on 21 September at Chevrons chalet! To all who are free, please do come k? Drop me a mail or sms and let me know that you can make it so I can cater food for you all! It's a public holiday in lieu, so technically all should be free. You're free to stay overnight as well if you want. For people in NUS, that week is recess week!

Ok, shall sign off here. Blogging at work. Don't wanna get stared at by my other colleagues. =P

To all who have parents who play mahjong, never, I repeat, NEVER, introduce them to Viwawa! Omg, for the first time in my life I'm fighting over the computer with my MOM, of all people! But I have to hand it to her, she really is good (what else can I say? older people are usually better at stuff like this =P). She pushed me up 4 levels in 2 days. @.@

Ok, I've finally more or less recovered from my bout of flu, thank goodness, though my breathing is still slightly impaired but I'm sure it'll be fine. Starting work next week. Can't believe it la, people resigning or getting ready to resign but I'm just starting work. Lolz. Well, at least I'm going back to CTSS and it'll only be for about 2.5 weeks, so I guess it should be fine.

Been invited to a lot of 21st birthday parties recently and I really want one for myself too. But just thinking about the logistics gives me the shudders. I really do want this, though. Haven't had a decent party in the whole 2 decades of my life. Lolz.

Supposed to memorise a part of the script and prepare a song for SYM audition tomorrow, both of which I have yet to do. Woots.

Didn't manage to get into a hall for NUS. Disappointed? Surprisingly, I am. I claimed to be resisting the idea of staying in hall but now that I've done so much preparation, physically and mentally, to stay in hall, not being given the chance suddenly makes me feel disappointed. Lolz.

A lot of money to be spent very soon. New phone (I'm still using my army phone), new laptop (MacBook doesn't come cheap) and birthday party. Wow. Wonder where all this money is going to come from. >.<
