Well like I said, everytime I decide to blog, a random line from a random song pops into my head. Figures. And as you’ll see my post has absolutely nothing to do with its title so don’t ask why. :/ ANYWAYS. This weekend was a rather eventful one! Went to Vivo on Saturday to see Daryl perform. Thought it was just some concert or something but waddaya know, the concert’s guess of honour was none other than our president. But more amazing than that was the conversation that took place between Bryan and some girl who was sitting beside him. Girl: Eh who’s the special guest ah? Bryan: S.R. Nathan Girl: Ohhh…. *pauses*… is he Singaporean??? Bryan: Uhhhh… yeah? I was absolutely dumbfounded. Yes he’s Singaporean! He’s the president of Singapore for goodness’ sake! :/ Haha. So much for National Education. Anyway. Saw loads of dance and music performances. And I think some of the dances were really cool, especially this modern dance thing that had this totally cool concept of modern dragon dance from Mayflower Secondary’s Chinese and Malay Dance. And St Margaret’s Modern Chinese Dance was pretty darn cool too. Haha. Daryl’s performance had some problems though cause the keyboard wouldn’t work. But no worries, being the talented young man he is, tada~~~ he played the guitar instead. Haha. And I think the performance was pretty good except when someone *ahem* came in completely wrongly. >:[ Wanted to walk around Vivo a bit but it was late and everyone was tired so headed off home. Wanted to buy the charity bear too but the booth selling the bear was closed by the time we were done with supper. )): But supper was interesting with talks of the upcoming casino and whether or not it’d work and if we’d have problems dealing with people getting addicted to gambling and what not. And even more interesting to know that gambling is not as random as we think cos there’s all sorts of tactics people employ and what have you. Haha. Today. Church. And then went to Ms Lim’s place again for class. Sigh. Yesterday when I played my Bach, it was pretty okay. A few minor mistakes and all but not so bad. Today was bad la. The first movement was =.=. Brain was completely blank so my fingers were moving randomly. Haha. Imagine. Just playing in front of a few people and brain blanks out for first page. During competition… AY. Complete fail! Blehhh… And then at the end Ms Lim was talking about how we must play from the heart and all and then she talked about how although once in a blue moon people get through even though they make mistakes because they’re ridiculously musical, that rarely happens and then she looked at me. =.= Bleh. She looked at the wrong person. I’m the make mistakes not very musical sure fail kind. Hahahahah. WHY AM I TAKING PART IN THE COMPETITION LA. AIYOH. GIMME A KNIFE. (oops sorry i borrow this trademark for a bit. xD ) Anyway I realised! Because of the way the competition has been split. My competition is on a Monday and I don’t have to agonize for a few gazillion hours AND I get to watch the first half of those in my category perform on Sunday afternoon! Muahahahaha. I feel happier already. And maybe on Monday, there’ll be much fewer people. Lol. Tralalala~ Once competition is over, it’ll be ATTACK BERG! And the other pieces for piano ensemble. Oh and. ATTACK COMPOSITION! >:[ RAWR! Even though I borrowed the Prokofiev Symphonies this weekend has been so packed I haven’t had time to listen. And I have to return them real soon too. ): (like tomorrow). Haha die. Sure cannot make it. Okay I hope by tomorrow I will be at least half way through my A Section. FI FYE FO FUM. Sorry. Felt random. Lalala~ Okay and I’ve been watching AVATAR! Muahahaha. And I hereby promise myself that ONCE I finish watching Avatar, I WILL ABSOLUTELY START REVISING CHEMISTRY AND MATH AND REREAD MY LIT TEXTS. DEFINITELY! Otherwise I’ll strangle myself when school starts. :/ The holidays are endingggggggggggg. NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. )))): I wish everyday was a holiday. And I wish the weather for everyday was as good as today. Nice and cooling but not raining. Then I can wear my wondrous long sleeve shirts every day! Muahahahah! Okay I’ve gone nuts. xD But once in a while, that’s pretty fun. Labels: Music

Whatever was required has been completed. That which was supposed to be said has been said and that which was supposed to be shown has been shown. And if after all this, still everything persists on then there is nothing left to be done and at the end if things fail, at least I can say, I’ve done my part. Again and again. Things keep on repeating. History reenacts. I’m washing my hands off. Each time something was to be said it was done so with a sufficient amount of hesitation and the amount of preparation it takes is exhausting. I won’t say I’m not disappointed nothing is happening. But I cannot care less anymore. I’ve done my part. I’ve done my best. And if still, you do not take heed. I have nothing left to say.

I’ve mastered it. Every action. Every word. Every sound. Each muscle movement. Which goes first, how quickly, how drastically. I’ve done it really well. Maybe. Maybe it isn’t that perfect. But I’ve been worse so much so that this now looks completely normal anyway. The Art is perfected. Deception.Completed. And yet. It’s effect is the complete opposite of satisfaction. But. It’s not like I’m surprised.

How can one night pack in so much? Too much? Whatever. Anyway, Received letter from Slug today. Feeling really happy. Hee. Gonna write my letter back really soon. Was gonna go on about this but something happened that really spoilt my mood. Urgh. Sigh. I will not lose faith.

If only There was a way to go back to that, where everything Was still nice and innocent. Just that One chance only, to change Thing(s). would I? to take on the responsibility of changing things that Had already been decided. but i already know, To me, the answer is a simple one that i'd Say with no qualms. It'd be a great exclaimation, a life without regrets. that has allowed me to Be the person i am today. That is what makes every experience worth enjoying, making memories I would always look back on and smile, with people i Love. that's what's the most important. so take each day with great anticipation, and let nothing get You down. because life is too short for regrets, and because everything happens for a reason. Disclaimer: It’s 2AM. Yep. Just about the time when I get high and cranky and even I don’t quite know why I’m writing this but I just felt like it. Hmm. And I don’t know if it makes sense either but oh well! Haha. And on another most random note… I can’t wait for 2PM. (^.^) Labels: Just One of Those Weird Writings

Been a real long while since I took this test but I was bored so I thought, hah, why not? And here… are the results… Name: gayle

Utmost in your mind is success. You are constantly seeking stimulation and a life full of experience. You are trying to 'grow' and above all you need to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt. You are an enthusiastic individual, full of life with the desire to live intensely. You like contact with others and are enthusiastic by nature. You are receptive to anything new, modern or intriguing. Your interests are many and you are likely to expand your fields of activities. You are optimistic about the future and you deserve every success because deep down you are a 'winner'. You are an emotional and sensitive person. You are inclined to delight and wallow in all things that give pleasure to your senses but nevertheless your tastes are refined and you reject anything that is indecent or vulgar. The present situation, not of your making, is forcing you to compromise. You will have to hold back and forgo some of your hopes, dreams and aspirations. You are very restless and inclined to be depressed - and try as you may you feel that you are unable to control the situation in which you now find yourself. You refuse point blank to relinquish control of your feelings and to place yourself in other people's hands. It would appear that there is a condition or a relationship on the horizon which you feel could cause you further unwarranted aggravation and stress. This is the last thing you need at this time. There must be more to life than the present situation. You are not quite sure what you are looking for and so you tend to be impatient and irritable until what you seek presents itself to you. You need to get away from this unsatisfactory state of mind, especially now, as you find that your powers of concentration are suffering. The fear that you may not be able to fulfil or realise all of your ambitions makes you work and play hard. The thought of being prevented from achieving the things you want leads you to play your part with frantic fervour. Labels: Just One of Those Weird Writings, quizzes

Tralala~~ New blogskin. It's kinda similar to the previous one but hey, I just felt like changing it anyway. Guess after a while, one needs a change here and there.
So my piano's been tuned yesterday but I feel like it's already out of tune again. I wonder why. Maybe my pitching just really is that bad that I think a in tune piano is out of tune. Hmm. Well even if that was the case I guess I wouldn't really be surprised.
I should have started on my holiday homework. But well, procrastinating... procrastinating...
Don't feel inspired to start at all. Bleh. And before that I need to pack my table, desperately. Haha.
But I'll say, holidays are really nice. No work, no stress (for the moment anyway).
Dreading the upcoming competition. But well I did join it, so I will still try to do my best.
Composition is frustrating. Absolutely cannot come up with a memorable melody. And as much as I know the seniors works generally seem to not have much of a melody (I think), I cannot picture myself writing something completely atonal that I don't even think I like much and developing it on and on. Okay it can be atonal and still sound nice, but I can't even write anything like that and everything I do write sounds like I took it off someone else. Completely useless at writing.
now I know why its so easy to accidentally plagiariseAnyway. I need to get some exercise. Been potating about way too much with lack of exercise and eating carbs I am seriously going to turn into a potato very very soon. I can already feel the chills running down my spine the moment I think of having to desperately exercise when I gain too much weight. As it is, it's already too much.
Blehh.
gotta cut the chocolate and the potato and the carbs
My dad and my sister are probably having a whale of a time now in Egypt. I wanna see the pyramids and climb up Mt. Sinai too even if its supposed to be loaded with camel dung. )):
SSSiiiigggghhhhhhhh
Okay I think I want to go out of Singapore for a bit. Really.
Had dinner with my cousin last night. Saw prawn fishing. Haha. Cool stuff. And then they were talking about all the water sports they did last time they went to like Phuket. I wanna try Parasailing and all too! :/
AAAhhhhhh
Can't wait for A levels to be over...
can't believe I've already started complaining! Haha

This life we live in is just always much too hectic.
So once in a while,
I like just sitting around,
floating about aimlessly doing absolutely nothing.
'Cos nothing's ever gonna be that simple.
