It's been exactly 2 months since my last post. Wonder if anyone's still reading my blog. If so, thanks! Haha.

Exams have just ended for me. As Billy used to say, I really don't know what to expect from my exams this time round. All I ask for is for my CAP not to drop. Hope that's not asking too much, though at this point of time, it really looks like I'm going to have to SU my Japanese 3.

Looks like I'm going to write a new story this holidays. With all this pent-up frustration and anger, I think my murderer from my story in crime fiction last semester is going to get a new friend this hols. Will this new friend of his use the baseball bat, razor blade or the drill? As the Mask would say, "Somebody stop me!"

I'm looking forward to the CIP with young NTUC's beneficiary soon. I hope it'll be a good experience interacting with all those needy young kids. Maybe that's the place I should really work at. I don't have to worry about grades or politics or all the nonsense that this society likes to stuff down my throat. I can lower my guard around them and just be myself. It'll be great to care for them, for somebody who truly appreciates your presence from their hearts. For somebody who smiles with their heart.

These holidays are really going to be busy. Special semester is coming up and MOE attachment will follow soon after. Busy busy busy. But I swear I will still keep time for myself. That's totally compulsory. Be it studies, gakkai or band, there definitely has to be some time which I will devote to wasting on myself. Time I enjoy wasting is not wasted time! To all who want to mahjong, PLEASE CALL OR SMS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning to let go is really not easy. But I'm slowly getting there. In fact, I believe I'm almost there. I will achieve it!

Can't believe I'm writing my first blog post of the year only now, on the second day of CNY. Ok, so update about CNY first.

For some reason, I felt closer to my cousins this year. Even though I come from a family where cousins only meet once a year, I felt a lot closer to them this year than usual. Yes, we did play mahjong (no money involved) and Monopoly Deal this year, unlike other years, but I really think it's not totally due to the games. Somehow the chatting and other crap that we did just felt closer and... I don't know... It felt kinda different... But DEFINITELY in a GREAT way!

Without fail, the topic of bgf came up and as my third eldest cousin wasn't around this year, me being the fourth, the question turned to me. And my mind turned straight to you, though my mouth simply laughed it off and tried to arrow somebody else, and my heart did a backflip. Lolz.

CNY really isn't about the money or the food. It's about gathering and seeing your folks again, folks you probably don't see all year round. Folks whom you know you love but so seldom see. Today I saw my grandmother and I gave her a hug... =)

As for school, I'm starting to love the pieces we're playing for In Tempo this time round. Pieces like Persis, Armenian Dances, Machu Picchu... I'm really starting to fall in love with them! Not to say that I can play them very well yet because that certainly isn't the case. But as I listen to them more and more, it just sinks in and makes me feel more for these pieces. Feeling's awesome...

Band elections are coming up and I'm happy I don't have to worry about finding a successor. My successor already approached me to offer his assistance way before elections started, so no worries there. Can hand over very happily, though I sincerely hope that he won't faint upon seeing the state of the library... >.<

Going house-hopping with ASD tomorrow!!!!! Can't wait! Waking up so early is a bitch though... =P

I refuse to blog anything about work. Signing off here! Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!! あけまして おめでとう ございます!!!

Soka's 80th anniversary has come and gone! Omg... I think this really was the best Christmas that I've spent in my entire life!!! It really was great being part of the green SD/FD group and getting high with everyone around me. Towards 2017 and 2030 together everyone!!!!!!

A lot of things have happened these hols but as usual I'm really too lazy to pen down everything, so I shall just blog about whatever that comes to mind.

Had my first round of ICT this hols. It was really very very slack and I'm very thankful that I have been posted to this unit as a cyberwarrior. And it's great that I have a great group of ns men in my team that we can talk cock and get along really well. Apart from the fact that it wasted my time, I think my first round of ICT went pretty well! =D

Next came the MOE scholar seminar on public policy making. It was quite boring but I particularly enjoyed the talk with the principal of Teck Whye Secondary. He was a really engaging and charismatic man who was able to talk and engage his audience very well. Learnt a lot from him. And I think the group at my table was by far the most engaging and entertaining group out of all the 10 groups in the entire seminar. How often do you get a group that can talk intelligently and talk cock at the same time? XD But one thing I couldn't stand was that some of the scholars that aired their views at the seminar seemed to have this common mindset, which was shown in the way they asked questions. "As most of us here are not from neighbourhood schools, we might have some problems adjusting to neighbourhood schools when we are posted there." Like what the f*** is that supposed to mean? What do you mean by 'most of us are not from neighbourhood schools'. If you took GP in jc, this fallacy would be what we call a 'sweeping generalisation'! $%@$#!%@#!

Apart from that, also went for the asd chalet. Surprisingly i could still click with most of the ppl there and we had a really good discussion between the YMDs and YWDs on the first night, which I found to be quite illuminating. Hahaha. It was also quite something to receive my results on the last day of the chalet. I even got Dixon to read my results out to me one by one when I finally received my result via sms. >.< eh you can't blame me right. one whole sem's worth of effort is condensed into one sms. it's really too much for me to take it all in at one shot. hahahaha. but i'm really super hyper duper grateful to Gohonzon that I'm able to retain my 2nd upper class CAP score and even managed to push it up a little. Really very very thankful le, especially since I've been predicting for almost the entire semester that my cap would drop this sem. Really very very grateful.

And for now, I need to go crack my head over scores for the band. Need to rush out the scores for the band by next week and Craig and Ian have yet to confirm their pieces with me yet. >.< Hope I'll survive.

And finally, bidding is starting this week! I want my Jap 3 and SSS!!!! RAWR!!!

Suddenly felt like blogging, so here i am...

These hols really have been so busy. came back from asd chalet, learning so much more abt asd, the good and the bad. but it really felt GREAT to b wif my dear asd again! damn shagg when i came home. napped for 3 hrs but apparently wasn't enuff, even after a good night's sleep later on that night. oh well, can't be blamed. i only slept 6 hours over 3d2n XD

Today went for my moe seminar. Thought it'd be super boring and it mainly was, but i'm really thankful for the wonderful group that was at my table and i was really happy and impressed that we could talk intelligent stuff and talk cock at the same time! looking forward to day 2 tomorrow. woohoo!!!

Just came back from nussd dmkk. great to see yu siang, wei han and jia xin finally appear again after so long. learnt the dance and cheers for the sis performance. ok la, learnt the dance before le, so was quite easy for me today.

And everyone's been talking about results recently, since yesterday was results day for nus. i'm really very very thankful for my result, considering i managed to maintain my cap score and even managed to push it up a little bit, especially since i got a B- for my cm2101. but that mod i nv get C i super thankful le, so no complaints. =)

And lastly, my 'Invisible Armour' is finally taking shape!!!!! can't wait for the full version to be out! must make sure i record the full song before nic rao flies back to perth. hahaha. i think this must be a record. a song that took more than a year to fully materialise. lolz!

so still got plenty of things to look forward to! YAY!!! =D

hope you'll get to listen to my 'Invisible Armour'. =)

Amazingly, people do actually still pop by this page in hopes of reading a new entry. To all ye few yet faithful, here's a new entry to reward you, after all these weeks.

I don't know what I should feel towards these holidays. It feels like everything's been planned out for me and I hardly have the time to really do what I want to do. After exams ended, I headed almost immediately for Australia, which, to be honest, I didn't really enjoy. Quite sad. And this week, I'm rushing to print scores for next week's band prac and almost driving myself crazy over the scores, as usual. My first round of ICT is coming up next week =S burn up a whole week of my holidays and end up I can't go for band camp T_T Kaiyi's wedding will come up immediately after that. Because of Kaiyi's wedding, can't go for SIS training and NUSSD institution mtg (not blaming you gal, it's great you're getting married!). Then after that, going for ASD chalet and the dreaded results day falls on the last day of ASD chalet. I must remain strong!!! Lolz... SIS celebration on X'mas Day and 4D1'04 chalet on 7-9 Jan.

Why did I type out my entire schedule on blogspot? Shouldn't it be done on my iCal? LOLZ!

I need to cherish whatever time I have this week. Chionging attendance for institution meeting and scores for wind sym at the same time is really not an easy task. Though having said that, it doesn't mean all work and no play. Catching a movie with Tuan Kiak tomorrow! Super long time never watch movie le.

Sinyee actually asked me to give her Japanese tuition. And the craziest thing is, I actually agreed! Omg, my jap dunno how long never touch liaoz. Hopefully I can still recall enough to teach her. She said she just needs someone to discipline her into revising her jap la. Hopefully that's true =P ちょっと 緊張してる。

I'm really happy that my crime fiction got an A-! Haha! Ok la, to be honest, I was a tad disappointed because I honestly was hoping for an A. But one must be grateful. I honestly hope this will be the first and last time I write 15 pages alone for the rest of my life in NUS, with the exception of my FYP thesis. Lolz!!! To all who are interested, do lemme know and I'll drop you a soft copy of my story.

Gotten myself hooked on "The Big Bang Theory" recently. That show is HILARIOUS!!! I caught 2 episodes of it in Australia and I've been hooked on it ever since. Trying to get glimpses of what I can on youtube. A bit lazy to find the full episodes =P Sheldon rocks!!!! HAHAHA!!!

Ok, shall stop here today. See you guys again many weeks later! XD

You must jiayou too! Will be rooting for you with daimoku. =)
