I'm back from band camp! As usual, I'm lazy to upload photos, so please go to my fb to see all the photos!

I really enjoyed myself so much at band camp, though spirits were a little dampened by the rain but I think overall it still went well. Got to know a lot more people too, which I think is the whole point of the camp. I think it's great, cuz honestly, before the band camp, I only knew those in my section and a couple of the ex-co and that was it. I think my team was great too! JAGABEE!!! WOOHOO!!! Hahaha! My team came out top in the overall games! So proud of them! =DD But I was a little sobered when I saw the pieces that Prof Ho chose for In Tempo 2010. The pieces really are so tiring. Russian music is no joke. I don't know how the audience is going to appreciate all these pieces. Vin Yee and I were laughing our way through band prac cuz sight-reading all those pieces was just madness. Anqi and I were joking about how Symphony No. 5 had a printing error in the last page because all the woodwinds are doing nothing but tonguing an A (high A in the case of flutes) in quavers for the entire last page. Yirong moved away from me when I pitched my high A for the first time. Hahaha! Sorry Yirong~! The score tell me to do pitch high A at fff de... Not my fault! =P

Tonight I'm flying off to Taiwan for a week's holiday. Checking my results overseas. If not good then don't come back liaoz. Hahaha. Hopefully there's internet access there which I can use. >.< Okok before all the calls for souvenirs come, I'll do my best to see what I can bring back from Taiwan ok? I have a whole mass of people to buy things for so I can most probably only buy something small for everyone k?

School reopening soon. Sian.

In a flash of an eye, my holidays seem to be ending soon. Ok, I know most people think it's still early but it isn't for me. Well, my definition of 'holiday' is defined as days when I can just loll about enjoying doing nothing. I don't care if it's time wasted because time I enjoy wasting is not wasted time. It's a jolly good break from all that stress during term time, which, if I'm not mistaken, will be even greater next semester, considering the fact that all 5 modules I'm taking next term are extremely memory-intensive. As to why my holidays are ending, it's because band camp is coming up and so is my trip to Taiwan. By the time I get back from Taiwan, it'll be almost time to start bidding again. Haiz... Don't get me wrong, I look forward to band camp and my trip to Taiwan. But like I said, I just like the feeling of lolling about doing nothing. ^_^

I've been trying to make myself do something constructive but the only things I find myself doing nowadays are playing Fable and watching YouTube. Yes, I know Fable is an old game but I don't have a lot of choice, especially since I'm running on a Mac. Hopefully I can get Dragonage Origin for Mac soon. But I think it's not bad, for the first time in my life, I'm sticking to playing an RPG for so long. Haha. Ok, so now my life is that of the ideal 宅男 (since when it was not?).

I want to stay at home and slack for another 2 more months! Can sem 2 break come quickly? =P

I want to play overnight mahjong! Guang Liang, hurry up and organise can?

Came up with inspiration for my Prowler series today. It's a little different from my past entries, as this focuses on what happens after he does the prowling. Hope it still enthralls you.

"Why are you crying? Didn't he say he didn't want to see you appear in front of him ever again? I'm only helping him fulfill his wish. Shouldn't you be happy for him?" whispers the prowler into his victim's ear, before cackling with laugher, as tears stream down his victim's face, as she struggles futilely against the ropes around her wrists and feet and the sock in her mouth. "Not to worry dear, I'll make this as painless as I can, I promise. You won't feel a thing," croons the prowler, as he brings a knife edge across his victim's face, leaving in its trail a long, wet, red streak. "How coincidental that you should meet me right after your little quarrel. Isn't that wonderful? Now you won't ever have to quarrel with him ever again." The prowler draws a small jar full of a colourless liquid, rips off its cap and pours a small splash of it onto the cap. "Like I said, my dear, this won't hurt a bit." whispers the prowler as he slowly pours the few drops onto her head. His victim spasms in agony as the liquid hisses and smokes as it touches her scalp, running down her face, leaving streaks of scarlet in their wake. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I should have made myself clearer. It won't hurt once everything's ended. Once everything ends, there won't be anything left. Not to worry, it won't take long." The prowler seizes the open jar and empties its contents over her head. She bites furiously into the sock, writhing in pain and anguish, wishing for death, as the acid chews into her scalp and face, ripping it off to expose the raw, red flesh beneath. "Oh now now, we can't possibly have all that blood spilling everywhere. Tell you what, I'll help you wash up, all right?" says the prowler in a concerned voice as he picks up a can of kerosene and splashes it generously over his victim. "Feeling better now? Now give me a minute. With all that exercise, I think I need to calm down and take a smoke," grumbles the prowler, as he strikes a match and lights a cigarette. Looking down at the flailing body beneath him, he flicks the lit match towards it and walks off, inhaling deeply and chuckles, as the muffled screams of his victim blend in with the crackling flames.

Ok, after a one week hiatus, I'm finally back!!! So what's been happening this past week?

Ok, first of all, went for fluboe section outing with NUSWS fluboe section. Apart from the weather, I think everything went pretty well! Qing Qing's cookies and the oboe section's muffins really tasted quite good. Must learn how to bake soon, cannot just know how to eat. =P All pictures at my facebook!

Secondly, finally cleared my JLPT 3. No more exams for the rest of the year!!!

Thirdly, went for ASD BOE-ing Fiesta, which TOTALLY ROCKED MY LIFE!!! Can't remember the last time I had so much fun with the ASD guys. Hope we have another similar event soon!!!

Fourthly, my new table and wardrobe have finally arrived. Finally don't have to clutter everything together with my brother. The last thing that I need to put in my bedroom will be the two new chairs I'm going to buy this week. Alas, it will be out of my own pocket. Haiz...

Now that the holidays are here, I finally can take a well-deserved break. My first semester has been somewhat traumatising for me. Hopefully sem 2 will treat me better! >.<

I've also been playing Fable: The Lost Chapters recently on my Mac. Yes, I know it's an old game but there really aren't a lot of choice when it comes to games for Mac. I think it's not bad that I've finally taken an interest in gaming. I honestly don't have much interest in gaming on consoles, though that's where all the good games are being developed for. Oh well.

I also want to find time to write my 邱毕特的失误. I really haven't made much progress there. 真的是干打雷, 不下雨。But I promise I'll write something this holiday!!! Hahaha...

So sorry to my Prowler series fans, no inspiration today. Tune in next time!

FINALLY FINISHED MY EXAMS TODAY!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!! Today's Maths paper was ok, I guess, though I didn't have time to finish the paper and I realised plenty of mistakes when discussing the questions after the paper. Oh well, leave it to Prof Chew and the bell curve ba. Haha.

Went for lunch at Marina Square followed by KBox with Sok Koon, Chia Ling, Billy, Yu Siang and Eric after that. Dunno why, today just couldn't get high (for me la, at least). Went for our traditional Sakae Sushi buffet after that. I think I'm getting sick of that place and sushi. Can we go somewhere else next time guys? Lolz. Nearly barfed at the table. Chia Ling and Yu Siang told me they like my short paragraphs on the prowler, so I'll continue writing as long as inspiration decides to grace my brain.

She walks down the dark alley, barely lit by the solitary lamp post some distance behind. The small umbrella she grips barely provides shelter from the pouring rain. Splash, splash, splash, go her footsteps, as her feet almost submerge in the puddles on the floor. As she turns into a corner, a fork of lightning streaks across the sky, throwing the prowler who materialises out of nowhere in front of her and the gun he grips in his hand into sharp focus; a tall, straggly-haired figure with bloodshot eyes in a ripped, brown overcoat. Barely before she registers any of this, the loud clap of thunder above completely muffles the shot, her scream and the sound of her hitting the concrete ground. The rain bathes her in puce, as maniacal laughter blends in with the sound of rain.
