passion for singing

2008-12-21T08:02:00.001-08:00

hello everybody/anybody. haha, today feels like a good day to blog cos some nice stuff happened and im feeling a little high while waiting for someone to finish drying her hair.

anyway, morning was worse than shit. bro didnt buy breakfast, had to wait for all of them to change/eat and dont know do what. those who know me wud know that i hate people to be late(except certain people who are special cases) and hate it even more for myself to be late. so i was basically giving my mum a super black face as she was the last one to be out of the house. then went to baibai and it ended sooner than expected.

went home alone, bathed and started trying on different clothes since i guess people would be bored by me being so dressed up all the time. haha. grabbed a polo tee from elder bros cupboard and a pullover eventually and went out of the house feeling somewhat unsure. luckily the weather held up fine and i didnt sweat at all =)

met up with pamela and went to amk to change her ring size plus laser. then quickly went off to bugis to meet mr david who wanted to shop for a christmas present for a certain sumone. hahhaha, had loads of fun whacking him and stuff. think he is being real sweet to his gf. LOL. and then this very interesting/weird thing happened while i was waiting outside diva for david and pamela to look at the necklaces... some girl came up to me to ask if i would mind taking a survey. as youd probably know, im an uptight asshole who wouldnt give a damn except to get from point A to point B so anything in between is usually just kicked out of the way. but since i was in a good mood and stuff, i just said okay lorh. turned out, the woman was actually from this modelling agency or sumthing and wanted me to go for a photoshoot... o-kay... lol. probably got the wrong person cos i already have problems looking un-ugly in real life and fare even worse at being photogenic. but oh wells, the shoot is on 28th aniway and id be in hongkong! haha. too bad.

aniway, went for this bbq gathering which i had no idea about until i was out with pam. so sorry gal! had to disappoint you and go off without watching the performance. sang songs and had great food!!! love the entire batch of rvchoristers. *muacks* lol. think they are the greatest choral singers ive ever came across and would love to work with them in syc!! haha. cant wait for army to end..... okay. gota go call someone. nites world/anyone.

2008-12-12T08:41:00.000-08:00

bahhh! been long since ive had time or the mood to post.. so probably gona be a long one. aniways, lets start from the leaast interesting stuff of all... today had a performance at the victoria concert hall(some moe world youth choir day or wadever, dont give a shit) i just wanted to be competitive once again. aniway, think juniors are just like our batch, another "show" choir that performs well under scrutiny? it was soso disappointing tho when owls became so terribly screwed sumwhere in the middle. hope it doesnt hurt any feelings but i think(and im quite sure) the problem actually lies with the notes of altos and sops.(either/or , or both) i dont know. the ahhhh-ahhh parts are so seriously off that i almost wanted to stop singing. nelson kwei also complained that basses were soft?! i mean WHAT THE FUCK. please open/dig/whatever your ears and hear my blasting since people are already complaining i am too loud that they cant hear themselves. ): my throat is in critical condition now. probably spoilt it even more or wadever. think i shall never ever sing for nelson and his choir animore. cos the next time id be singing on stage would probably be with the singapore youth ensemble! cant wait for army to end so that i can be an active member.. look forward to working with ms tham again :)

ohohoh, another thing i discovered recently! i realised like a few days ago that one of my juniors got into the top 12th of campus superstar!! haha. those who know me better will know who im talking about ba. aniway, please please vote for her!! haha. oh man, so excited for her. but aniways, heard that mediacorp producers are asses and the crew are angels. LOL. sounds real sad for those actresses or wadever. so happened her producer called her as we were on our way to sec school choir camp and scolded her about being so passive and listening to whatever zhiyang has to say since he is the already "past his prime" or wadever and she should be the one telling him what to do regarding their duet. like, LAME... overly stressed or sumthing producers. haha. take things too seriously... bah. but bottom line, help me vote for her!!

okay, last event!
haha, sorry. decided not to say cos its sensitive stuff.. but its good stuff lah. lol.
aniways, duno how many more days till i go into army.. yawnz. hope i can get much fitter and thinner =p.

2008-11-21T08:34:00.000-08:00

YAY! alevels are finally over! been too busy to even spare time for blogging. haha. nows the best time to spend memorable times with friends, so no time to waste!! just came back from another of K`s cheapo concerts. i mean no harm to those from our choir who performed in it. still love all of you. just that the standard wasnt there overall. oh wells.

the day started off with me installing wc3 early in the morning at melvins hse. played a couple of matches of dota after that and then came back home at 6am. immediately plonked into bed and fell asleep till 10am. woke up, then immediately rushed out to jurong for dental since i tot sum1 wanted to go shopping at like 1pm? in the end we met at around 4 and went down straight to city hall. walked around, shopping alittle and had loads of fun=D. haha. and was feeling real high since i was in my new shoes and (skinnny jeans)-since everyone seems to say so. its just striped jeans what! met up with eugene, zhian, si en cheryl and charmaine after that and had dinner... and once again, i forgot to tell eugene that we changed the venue. haiya. my stm is getting worse and worse i think... sorry! after that met up with xiaoping and gang and then went together to the ntuc audi.

hais, feeling so damn confused now tho.. seriously duno what to do. maybe im just overly paranoid, but everyone says the same thing and i keep seeing it for myself too. its the third time already since i ever bothered to notice.. maybe i should just stop while i can and save myself from this mess. but another half wants to just entirely ignore what i see and hear and just carrying on with it... dont know why im feeling like this aniway too. just plain weird. hope i can make the choice sooner cos it actually hurts sometimes tho i have to pretend to be all smiles and whatever.. beautiful day which almost ended not so ideally.
supper in the end with mum, pam and shermaine, eug, char and gwen really did help so much.. and its nice that the few of us are finally back together.. gona miss everyone.. yawnz. damn tired.. should i go tomorrow? still feel so lousy and tired.. oh wells. shall go sleep first and see ba. perhaps my morning run can do wonders yet again. haha. alrights. nites world!

2008-10-03T06:42:00.000-07:00

bleah. i know im not supposed to be blogging but arthur lim was really too xia lan today. wtf man. nothing better to do must come and diao me. FOR **** as if i owe him. was just sitting outside the mph with joesph, martin and peiliang, and then the idiot called out to me. obviously wanted us to go do sai gang again, so of course i say no lah.. also never pay me.... then he said, "oh, how dare you say i never do anything for you, let you stay in choir for 2 years right, never force you to play basketball right" like.. uhh. even if you want also not your choirce to pull me out of my cca.. xia lan kia. now i know why royden hates his "father" so much. and then as if not bad enuf, peiliang and joseph over there.. oooh, when did arthur lim become your father? stupid shit. so sad sia, PE dept too full of xia lan kia.(not all lah, but still, u shud know who else i talking about) hais, spoil my day..

2008-09-30T07:45:00.000-07:00

yawnx, i duno whats wrong with my blog or wadever. think its self degenerating due to negligence. aniway, its been an emo week with all the results coming in.. only think that seemed to worth being happy about was my summary scoring 9/8. lol. just got a B for gp cos i failed my compo. stress stress. 33 more days! hope As wouldnt kill me that badly and please let me get into Uni!
zz, prelims has taken its toll on me.. im getting fatter! dont even dare to go and weigh myself. not that im eating alot ok. im having just 3 meals a day. just that i cut back my daily bball sessions to just once per week. so you can imagine how many spare tires ive produced=( haha. ive already came up with an intensive after As lifestyle plan tho. includes 12 hours of exercise per day.. lol. aniway. seriously got to get back to work. think the next time i will be posting would be after As. wish me luck guys cos im gona need it!
all the best to you guys who are taking As too!!!!!!!
(hope i dont get into hendon camp too cos that would be a real demoraliser for the exams)

2008-08-11T08:04:00.000-07:00

whee! today i broke the zhenkai book of records for being at one location for the longest period of time! haha... wth. woke up early in e morning, then cos no one to go out with me, decided to go and mug with shermaine and gwen. SAM was supposed to come too but she decided to stay home and mu with her sis after all. lol. so in the end, took me a full hour to get from hellhole number one(yew tee) to hellhole number two(aljunied) and then another 15 minutes for the stupid bus to get me to singapore swimming club..
sooo, today was "lucky" day, the hottie that shermaine and gwen were talking about was studying at our table as well. haha, coincidental, 4 choir peeps at e same table. studied till 8.30 before i went home.. so productive =D. probably the one and only day i ever studied so much. clap please... aha.
reached home and i realised my dad for some reason decided to change the singtel plan which we just changed a few weeks ago. faster speed and better connection or wadever lah. my room still has so little conectivity as usual tho. dont see the difference.. SO SAD. i didnt realise the USA vs CHINA basketball match was on channel U last night until lanlin said it was. stupid brother. hog and hog the tv until i didnt bother to go and check cos he didnt even tune to that channel. stupid me as well. should have known better he wouldnt be showing any interest in basketball so of course wont change to channel u right. argh! nvm. team usa won as expected. yaoming scored 3 pointer tho. thats something that will be remembered in history! ahha. so sad. tim duncan didnt play. lucky they had SUPERMAN dwight howard. heh. superman dunk em.
okok. i suddenly feel like a river and then so many things such pouring out. lemme see. its called fei4 hua4 tao1 tao1 bu4 jue2 in chinese. haha. watever lah. rare that i have time nowadays to even blog... think everyone else also mugging lah. who would even bother to come and read blogs. lol. okok. for all those who see this. time to go back to mugging!!!! heh. jiayou everyone!
oh yea, by the way, support jonas brothers!! nick rocks. lol.

2008-08-08T08:12:00.000-07:00

heh, didnt feel like waking up early today to go skul and hold hands for the connect singapore thingy so just stayed home to sleep! woke up at 8 as usual tho. hate my stupid body for being unable to sleep thru till noon or sumthing.. anw, got up and slacked around, went to gym for awhile then went out in afternoon. went to singapore swimming club with shermaine and gwen which is at ALJUNIED. what the hell right. at least it was condusive for studying. managed to get some work done before went off to watch MUMMY! hais, our original clique of 6 became 5(cos jolene went off with zhi wei? this one i not sure) then became 4(cos samantha started the talking to herself thing) then became 3(cos chaimaine is now someone elses). oh wells. now its just the three musketeers or sumthing...

anyway, since its been so long since i last blogged. might as well talk about what happened recently since im alreeady here. rvchoir is going downhill from what i heard from both my bro and zhiying, ajchoir SEEMS to be going downhill with increased cheapo concerts namely the naitonal day concert today! lucky i didnt go otherwise my face duno bury where... world champions relegated to mere puppets at the disposal of anyone who would care to use of to their advantage. ah wells. talking about burying face... heard about TERRENCE TOH today. haha. screwed up his performance on stage. mr toh ahh, second time u screwed alr within a period of two weeks!.(third time considering last year farewell concert.) aniways, i wont mind fish and co in exchange for not accidentally uploading ur video onto youtube.. haha! this isnt blackmail. its just something like insurance. =D OH. and then another unglam incident. royden tay fell off his chair the other day during chem lesson! ha. so suay sia. ms ma always tell him to be careful later fall of the chair then that day really so suay just fall off halfway through lessons. and then he so stunned he just lay down there with feet in the air and shoes flung all over the place. what a sight man..

aights. time to sleep liaoz! prelims in 19 days!(according to shermaine, i dont dare to count) pray i do well!!!!!!!

2008-08-05T06:15:00.000-07:00

argh! feel so stupid today. was like almost side by side to hottie on the train but just didnt have enough courage to say hi =(. oh wells. at least i got to see her. haha. crappy class leaders meeting early in the morning. released us so late that me and charlie just ended up doing work at canteen waiting for pe. dont even know why i went skul today. didnt even attend math lecture as well. effectively only went for regression test by mr koh.

PE is getting crappier by the day. stupid sia. lasst term was soccer, now is sepat takraw or wadever the shit that is. whole day do stuff that use legs. even worse, now no keeper so i cant be the keeper and use my hands! idiotic. why cant we learn how to play vball or basketball.. whats worse. after pe everyone just run away to play soccer. FUCK IT.(i apoligise but this is due to the long term accumulation of my increasing displeasure) think im in the wrong class man. lol. im probably the only one around interested in anything else but soccer. at least other class people would ask me if id be playing basketball. but aniway, ended up playing basketball alone...

2008-08-04T07:33:00.000-07:00

heh. what a long day.. today managed to catch some live performance by some alumni band as well as j1 choir members singing acapella! ehhhs. not too bad for beginners i guess. its almost equivalent to just pulling anyone and throwing em on stage considering its a new form of singing to em. so, finally im no longer the one that stays backstage waiting not so eagerly for my turn to go on stage.. im gona miss the backstage of the esplanade! its seriously cool. and think of this. how many people, get to ever step into the backstage of the esplanade and its stage? and having been there with rvchoir, singapore youth choir, vocal consort and finally ajchoir. think im gona really really miss it loads. haha. ive sort of grown to like the place...

aniway, shall not be a emo post today lah. im feeling motivated to mug! like everyone else is busy with preperations and time starts flying by so quickly.. seems like last year that i was mugging with kit towards her prelims.. so fast! omg luhh. and shes going U today! wth. i hope army passes equally fast too=D. i wont mind the pay tho. haha! okok. gotta go prepare for tuition again.. first time in my life i am working like this i think. haha. craziness.

2008-08-02T08:16:00.000-07:00

wahhh, LONG LONG DAAY. spent the entire day out with sam and shermaine. study study until our butts almost got united as one with the chairs in bradell macs. what an achievement. u gota know that zhenkai is hyperactive. LOL. nothing much went on today, just reached the same conclusion as before- seriously need to start slimming down. my mum managed to piss me off as usual tho. wanted to watch some tv show but she started to nag and nag and scream and scream. so i just turned up the volume. haha. wadever lah. psychotic. hais, feel so bad. been so busy mugging (and being in love with myself) lately that i didnt even realise zhiying was having so many problems. stupid me.

okok. shall go and sleep soon i guess. A levels is making life hell for me.. cant we all just NOT compete with one another and exist as a communist state so we all dont have to mug till our brains exceed the whatever 4 or 5% usage and become einstein number two?!

2008-08-01T08:18:00.000-07:00

today was the second day i stayed beyond 12.15 in the entire term! haha. miraculous. and fridays are probably the worst days. so i wonder how i managed to pull through. anihow, suddenly became real ill with a flu in the middle of the day. SUCKS man seriously. especially when u wana do work but just cant focus cos ur nose feels lousy and u keep sweating every now and then and stuff.. oh well, went home early and slept awhile. THEN went to play bball as usual. haha. its an addictive thing. dont blame me! i already cut down from once a day to probably twice a week? *applauds* but i realised my skills deproved =(. stamina as well. im already doing my best at home luhh. increased exercise reps and just short of running around the hosue to slim down. HAHA!

think i shall go out and study tomorrow aniway. house has too many distractions! haha. suddenly became afraid of even going out to SHOP! miss buying stuff already luhh.. haha. pray that As faster finish! ehh wait, shudnt come so fast. nid to study more first. LOL! wadever lahh. just pray i do well. haha.

2008-07-30T06:40:00.001-07:00

today was HOT. wth, did makeup pe in the burning sun and it sucked.(tho i was loving the tan) physics lesson was crappy tho and mingda was coming at me with all of his usual nonsense again especially the part where he tries to change my opinion of hottie. argh! oh well. i shall not be affected easily=D. ponned chem lect since i didnt prepare anything again and finished up my gp essay instead. went home real early( i duno for what, miss my maid probably) and rotted till 7pm when my teacher came.
im officially brain dead now by the way, what u are seeing here is the miracle and art of natural instincts and reflexes at work. HAHAHHA. zzzzz. i need my hugs soon!

2008-07-29T07:21:00.001-07:00

yawnz. alright! im officially feeling so damn bad right now. swee hao, xiaoping, jas, cic, sam all gave me farewell gifts! but i didnt prepare any for anyone.. =( gona be owing people big time man. guess i wasnt really prepared to say sayonara in the first place... reluctant is the word i guess. sorry xiaoping! id give you ur double present of two frogs on your bday like i promised =).
anyway, something very random but i realised that i fell in love with adidas. today went skul and realised i was carrying adidas towel, bag, jacket and shoes. probably one of the only things i havent bought is adidas underwear. LOL. (wonder if they come in colors) haha. okok. too RA already. oh well. think adidas looks nicer than nike usually. thats all..
ZZZZZ, tomorrow nid to do makeup PE with lim kok wee. he seriously not a good HOD PE sia. lets emtions get in the way of work.. but aniway, gota admit that its my fault my hands were itchy and just had to start playing bball in skul uni the other day.(not as if its the first time kena caught) and im just real surprised and glad that lim kok wee didnt know im from choir! haha. was so stunned the other time when principal started to talk to me at mass civics. i mean, i know the Vice principal quite okay but seldom see and greet her or wadever. lim kok wee is just too oblivious i guess. tot i was from sports. and ALMOST wanted to scold me with his "sports people should be disciplined stuff" like the other time we got caught for playing sports on cross country day(but still managed to come in top class).. UHH. judging from appearance again.. choir people cannot be fit meh.
oh well, think im gona hate it tomorrow. specially if he not in a good mood again (which happens almost ALL the time) having pms i guess. HAHAHA. maybe is menopause ba. lol!

2008-07-28T05:49:00.000-07:00

PHEW! commando selection test is OVER. haha. oh man, what a day of acting... i tried to act cannot do standing broad jump and all. was trying so hard to control my ego and not try to ace everything. haha. but aniway, think my chances of getting in are pretty low.. gave them some lame medical reason and stuff =D. oh wells. just glad im done with it. PRAY i dont ever ever have to go back to hendon camp. (the people there look rather weak tho, not as buff as i imagine commandos to be...)
ahh!!!! so much work, duno where to start with. been a busy week and all. hehs. hope i dont degenerate into a pile of ash by the end of the week...

AJCHOIR IS LOVE

2008-07-27T06:48:00.000-07:00

yawnz, feeling so damn tired even after napping in e afternoon. am just glad that i dint fall asleep during tuition today. heh. farewell yesterday was rather cool despite the location being abit too remote and it being too close to prelims and all.. jenna and com did a pretty good job i must admit. aniway, liked the acapella performance by the juniors. sang no importa la distancia before everyone went off(lucky some people sang the solo with me otherwise the high notes would have been an embarassment. dont blame me, havent sung for so long.. no more range!!).. I LOVE AJCHOIR! heh. ended at 11? lucky managed to catch the last train home.. haha. reached home by 12.30.. initially wanted to mug abit till say 3? in the end fell asleep on my bros bed. haha.

ARGH! tomorrow gota go hendon camp for vocational assesment. hope they think im too weak to be a commando. haha. if get in.. also not too bad lah. just dont want two years of hell tho i think it would be rather cool. oh wells. back to work. gona be owing loads of hw man. lol

2008-07-24T01:37:00.001-07:00

yawnz, been at home since 1.30. lol, skipped physics math lecture as well as physics remedial as usual.. slept and watched "war games" cool movie and rather sweet. weird thing i havent seen it before. it was so damn nice.. aniway, GP is getting to become irritating. first thing adrian bell is becoming a pain in the ass and GP lectures are of no use at all. oh well. up to us again. think i wont be going for class dinner. sorry! haha. too lazy to get out of the house again..

oh yea, check this out. was talking to yizhen and this was part of what the convo was about.
yizhen: i want CCCA for promos
zhenkai: abit hard lah but jiayou! id be rooting for you!
yizhen: okay, id flower for you.
haha, how "cold right". oh wells. like cousin like cousin. the brilliancy to make cold jokes probably runs in the genes. haha.

2008-07-23T05:17:00.000-07:00

eventless day. didnt even get to see hottie. played loads of basketball tho. and got seriously injured this time round due to three of four of leon and yaoxins class mate who rammed me in my right thigh, bisceps and hip at the same time every single time i tried to go near the ring. feel crippled right now cos everywhere is aching. And duno why play until half way kena taupok by them.. haha, guess its my turn to experience what i usually do to others.. i seldom bang people tho, they just bounce off me so its not really my fault.. oh wells, real pain right now, cant even walk properly.. alrights, back to mugging. have to copy phys tutorial. serious ass man that guy, whole day diao diao diao. duno how he become senior teacher in the first place. cant even explain properly.

2008-07-22T06:28:00.000-07:00

wahh, chem tuition just ended. new teacher. haha. so bimbotic. kept going on about pink this pink that. oh wells. at least i wont yawn to death during chem tuition.. what a lousy day.. PE SERIOUSLY SUCKS. play what soccer lah. do not understand the concept of rolling and sliding around in mud and not to mention the serious self handicap by not using HANDS! haha. basketball is much suited for me i guess. and got so pissed off cos the guys always refuse to play volley or frisbee with me. at least i got to play squash with grace. haha. and seriously grace improved so much since last year. could occasionally win her last time, but now is seriously no chance man.. been days since i played bball i think. my legs are getting painful. think never exercise enough.. haha. too heavy already later the legs break.. BORING. wednesday. shit, havent done tranisition elements. im dead tomorrow, ms ma will make sure of that. goodbye!

2008-07-21T06:11:00.001-07:00

todays weather was shiok throughout the day.. haha. except i got my new shoes wet for the first time =(. oh wells. was stoning the whole day, throughout every single lesson there was.. so obviously stoning until miss ma keep calling on me. mondays are bad days cos i dont get to see you know who, who gets to go to school at 9! sucks! haha, im just a simple battery that needs recharging every morning.. lol. hope tomorrow would be a better day. not gona post ajchoir concert songs except no importa la distancia for now until eugene can convert them and possibly post on youtube. weird. WHERE ARE ALL MY ORIGINAL CONCERT DVDS?! lent out already then now there are so many duplicates out there but my original is no where in sight. and i just realised johnathon and eugene's shirts that they lent me for the concert are still with me! and the board shorts i lent kenneth are missing as well. haha. no time to really go bother about trivialities tho.. shall bring em along when i feel high soon....(probably never).

2008-07-20T08:12:00.001-07:00

yawnz, intensive day of tuition. slept at 2.30 last night sumore so you can imagine how dead i was today. anywai, just finished talking online with leon. as expected, things are degenerating. firstly, we have political correct nincompoop leaders (shall not say who) who are , new to the choral scene. and then we have bad blood among certain people and also people who are drifting away cos there is no longer a common goal in the choir anymore. COMMON GOAL. once again, everyone wants to have their own opinions own say, own everything. yes it is a democratic society but to hell with you if you are going to threaten the sanctity of the society. like byebye communists, lock you up in isolation for 10 years. gona have to start talking to people and hope it gets some sense into them... yawnz. tiring, tiring. id probably forget everything by tomorrow.. now i know why i used to be so short-term memory..(not that it has changed alot recently) haha, better to forget this kind of things..

2008-07-18T06:32:00.000-07:00

lols, agree with what hottie said. UNLUCKY DAY. dont ask me why lah but everyday seems to be either a sad day, unlucky day bad day MOST of the time. but aniway, started off the day with class civis which involved us playing CROSSWORD puzzle and running all over school. how cute right... lol. rest of the day was uneventful except when ROYDEN smudged chocolate cake on my uniform! sian bo. and i was just being that innocent little boy over there trying to hope no one notices me while they have their cake fight with zhenhongs bday cake.(as if this is the first time it happened). and then ADRIAN bell diaoed us for always being late.. so damn dulan. ohh wells, better not talk about it. later spoil feelings..

ohohoh, and had soooo much fun with who else but some of the j2 choiristers. seems like nothing beats hanging out and making music with good frens. ended off the day with maths paper smiling all the way... and the ANT question totally made me LAUGH. such lousy ENGLISH.. everyone had differenct perceptions as to what the qn was talking about.. by the time reached estate was aroud 7.15 already.. was feeling so sad, tot today no basketball already. but still went to check the court and OMG. how could i forget today is friday. haha. pro gathering day. lol. and today was special. probably everyone in the gang was present.. had fun but still, performed badly. could really feel the flu and fever pulling me down.. couldnt really jump as high or even do a proper bunny hop, feel bad for causing the team to lose twice.. and my shin. think something is breaking cos its real weak whenever i put more weight through it. oh well. getting old i guess.. *sighs*

2008-07-16T07:23:00.000-07:00

sianz, lifes boring.. wanted to sign up for dragon boat competition but once again, kena pangseh by class.. like no variety like that, always stick to those few games they like. such as soccer.. see no point in it. even eugene dont want to go dragon boating. hmm, been rather long since i kayaked come to think of it.. should seriously meet up with forgel someday.

wahh, chem band 3 lecture was real kana sai. what the hell. teacher mc also no wonder knew. everyone sitting around in lt with no teacher waiting for 30 minutes until i fed up and call ms ma to ask her how come no teacher. oh wells, late better than never.. haha. guess they have to "prioritise" their resources so lousy students end up with lousier treatment. not really their fault..

sighs, 26th july is farewell ceremony. cant help but be remembered that im officially washing my hands off ajchoir. feel quite glad everything worked out. started off as sc, asc and bass sl. quite an impossible feat considering id have to split myself into at least 3 just to carry out my duties as the conductor. really have swee hao and zongyi to thank for supporting me all the way and assisting me as bass sl and asc in the end. would have really collapsed mentally if not for their help.. heh, not forgetting jasmine who was always the one to give in to most of my request and all. what a lucky guy for me to work with such a wonderful president and such a supportive music co.
still, have to admit that being the student conductor isnt an easy task AT ALL. FYI, i slacked in rvchoir even tho i was the conductor there. haha. learnt soo much in aj specially from toh. aniways, at the end of the day, i sometimes wonder if im really appreciated for all that ive done. i know ive always been straightforward and seldom gave anyone chances but functioning as the sc and part "disciplinarian" or wadever, its hard to progress without certain cooperation. people also frequently questioned what my jojb scope was really about. is it just to wave my hands on stage?(which is already a tough job. can try if you have the chance) or just to plan for practices. just try to decide on something when 6 people have 6 individual opinions on a matter. how long would it be til you get a consensus. look at the UN and how efficient it is. or perhaps, try to plan for practices. you would know how hard it is considering "HIS" frequent change of mind and when everything is left in your hands with NO time and EVERYTHING to work on. where to start? we came in weak, no time, no experience, no talent. oh wells. should stop whining. seriously seriously hope at the end of the day, people can sumhow appreciate what others do for them, not just me, but jas and swee and everyone else that contributed soso greatly for this choir.

yawnz, weekends are boring. nothing much to blog about.. except probably went to get my new shoes and went studying with zhiying again.. saturday was WERID day, bumped into yita at queensway, awkward moment when he saw uys. but really nothing going on.. then later at library happened to spot maria. couldnt believe my eyes when i saw her cos tot she was abroad. but her style is unmistakable.. then after that also bumped into sinee and boyfriend. everyone seem to be leading a rather happy life.. unlike mine... *sighs*

hmmm, parents are real stubborn about me getting out of commando. citing various reasons such as i would cry(wow. like okay...) and that they would heartpain.. want me go act weakling so that i can get out of it.. how retarded. i mean, might as well do something meaningful in those two years right.. lols, who knows i may end up working for army since i seem to have ZERO interest in studying except perhaps econs? i dont know.. singing as a means of living... hmmm, rather hard lah. singapore is way too small. like i said, hard to achieve much (specially since the scene is controlled by certain dark forces.. haha, only choiristers would understand what i mean..)

mondays suck. haha. ended early but the weather was soooo lousy, so damn sticky. immediately went home to get my precious hair cut(cos tomorrow got spot checks i think) and once again, the hairdresser did "BRILLIANT" job which cost me 18 bucks.. if i could somehow cut my own hair, how nice it would be..

2008-07-11T06:14:00.000-07:00

alrights, my day started at 3.30am. how sad.. woke up and realised i was having fever, my legs felt so numb, barely made it to the kitchen to get some medicine before i went back to bed.. tho it started off shitty, it was such a beautiful day..

luckily i decided not to act garang today and stayed home to rest.. and i didnt miss out on anything cos hottie didnt go school too! ha, lucky me. oh wells, my younger bro also did something to the desktop so i could play games on it as well. watched dirty sexy money online, then went to the doctors before coming back home to mug for awhile..

went out in the evening for a "date". haha. supposed to be me and wanchun ititially. ended up with shermaine and gwendoline in the end tho.. haha, went to new york new york for lunch. had to treat wanchun to ice cream and help shermaine pay since it was my treat to her for helping me find out hotties name. haha. expensive name if you ask me.. oh well, cost 50 bucks i think.. gone in a flash. oh well. we had fun. i cant bliv it. wanchun thinks that "hottie" is a guy.. *bangs head* how retard can she get man.. ehh, wanchun, if u reading this, i need to tell you again. you seriously need someone to talk to.. haha. all ur cold jokes keep accumulating, you one day freeze up.. lol. the one about the urinating one was the ulti..

anyway, i went playing bball when i got home. yeayea, i know im sick but my hands were itchy, dont blame me. firday nights are THE night. haha. played and won all four matches against christ church bball team and uncle tays team. shiok.. (had to play in slippers tho)

came home and my mom was like, before i scold you for playing bball, maybe u wana take a look at that later behind you.. opened up the NS letter and WTF. need to report to commando camp at handen for vocational test or wadever. F*** it lahh. shouldnt have aced my napfa. zzzzz. pray pray i do badly for commando. haha, parents asking me to fake weak so that i dont have to go to commando.. hope i dont too! *pray pray*

2008-07-10T03:53:00.001-07:00

woke up feeling like crap today, but act garang, decided to go school since id be able to see someone in the morning anyway. haha. ended up going home after gp and skipping math and physics lecture. lucky revision lectures never teach much.. sweat and sneeze like duno what through gp test. couldnt feel any worse. got home and ate some of every medicine i could lay my hands on and knocked out within an hour..

oh wells, since its such a boring day, should start speaking about my tots on Voyaje 2008. i would definitely say that this years esplanade concert was the climax of our 07 batch. we came in as such a weak batch, relatively new even to singing. even the few of us dsas were not performing at our peak. screwed up our first major annual concert at the esplanade in our j1 chorus. "veggo dolce mio bene" such a simple song, yet we failed so terribly. SYF was another major blow to us, dont know what others think. but coming from a gold with honors choir and dsaing into ajchoir, i expected myself and more importantly ajchoir to have achieved better results..

voyage of songs 2007 held in pattaya was probably the turning point in our singing career. gotta take my hats off that people practiced 5 days a week during the entire june holidays.. everyone did their part, we went to pattaya, kicked some ass and came back with no regrets. i would say, mr tohs determination and perseverence definitely rubbed off on us too. he naver gave up on us and pushed us to greater heights, being both the teacher in charge and the conductor must have meant so much more added responsibility and stress. not mentioning probably working for free....

carolling session were definitely the most painful part for me. brushed up on my conducting skills, learnt alot from terrence toh once again, mainly on how to pose and all. haha. acoustics were always so bad, and sometimes there were just not enough power singers to make the song sound nice.. oh well, we all had fun tho.

ITALY trip. one main difference from our previous batches, we only practiced 4 times a week, went home almost punctually at 7.30 every session. j1 batch is real talented this year. good sops(you know who im talking about) and strong bass and tenor. the stress was on us that we had to match up to vjc and clinche the grand champions.. oh well. glad that we won in the end. despite their lousy show of sportsmanship, i think the german choir was real good. had fun in italy, good food. seriously want to migrate to europe some day. enjoy their pace of life. haha.

finally, voyaje 2008
our songs were relatively cheapo for our second half. with first half songs being the competition songs in italy.. think zongyi did a great job in choreo along with her choreo com and erin especially. sorry i couldnt help cos im rather noob at choreo. splendid performance,(think we did better in terms of entertainment value than vj) and everyone definitely enjoyed themselves.
our last song no importa la distancia was quite touching. it was at that point of time when i was singing the solo on stage that all the memories of the past suddenly came rushing into my head and i finally understood what the song really meant to our seniors. going the distance- ajchoir has really improved and come a long way.. it is sad that in a flash of an eye, we the j2s are already gone from the picture. all the happy memories, joking around with the basses, hanging out and bitching would definitely be remembered. and with the big bang at the end of the song, it signalled the end to my 6 years of choral life. never once regretted choosing choir over basketball in the first place. to all you j2s, hope you all had the same amount of fun while it lasted. for now, lets all concentrate and score for As! no importa la distancia and sayonara. love you peeps.

2008-07-09T05:28:00.000-07:00

WHAT A CRAPPY DAY!(minus the part where i saw hottie in the morning)
oh wells, started off with 2 hours of chemistry in the morning.. u know, ma jialin is good, real good. just that i think stupid students like me cant seem to function at the scholar pace she teaches at.. while going through group 2 and group7 i was starting to go, shit shit shit. why do i feel like i know nuts about chemistry. probably chose the wrong sub to study in the first place... finally couldnt take it anymore, picked up my phone and and typed "mum, get me a chem tuition teacher now!", guess what she replied.. "FINALLY". haha. such a supportive mum right. (overly supportive if u ask me..)

during 2 hour break, went mugging with ah guo outside music room. he was down with flu. and i just realised, im sniffing over here too.. thanks ah guo rui.. haha. kidding kidding. attempted to do ionic questions for chem revision lect and ended up stuck at qn 8 and 9. not we stupid hor. even after consultation with ms ma, we were still as stunned after she left..

physics lesson, i kept dozing off. not my fault. u know.. with such a teacher. its hard to keep awake. and then came chem lecture, went thru chem paper, nothing interesting. after school, wanted to mug.. till around 4 when guorui felt so sick he went off first. then i went to look for my basses having their sectionals. sat in for combineds, swee hao is improving rapidly i would say. still can improve more tho! im sure ud make an excellent student conductor! better than me in time to come i would say. haha. gotta say i really admire his passion for the choir, put in so much effort for the choir as the ex president, as the bass sl, and now as the sc. jiayou swee!

ha, reached my estate by around 7 i guess and luckily i bothered to check the basketball court. ian, hui en and all the kiddos were there playing a 5v5 match. went down since darren wanted me to and guess what. saw vernon, bernanrd and lee jun. didnt know lee jun was also in bball team. but aniway, had a great bball match today.. lost one won one.. would say bernard and lee jun improved alot since i last saw em. shocked.. haha.

alright! back to studying chem which i know nuts about again...

2008-07-08T04:54:00.000-07:00

arghh.. suddenly rememberd im supposed to do writeup for cca testimonial or sumthing.. lols, im usually good at self praise but writing for sgc is a totally different thing!! and i havent even started.. what a talent.

tuesday is a boring day *note to self: should seriouslt considering ponning next time.. PE was soccer. like wow, zhenkai doesnt play soccer. have the tendency for my hands to shoot out and grab any ball that starts flying past me.. plus it was raining! didnt even bring wax and had no intention of redoing my hair.. charlie was hilarious. bending forwards so that his fringe wont kena by the rain... haha. and im starting to miss mr tans pe lessons already. maybe its cos of volleyball thats fun. but oh wells, mr tan makes things livelier..

math lecture was alright, weird tho.. im able to complete those questions so easily as compared to my friends but HOW COME MID YEAR SO SCREWED!!!! sianz. thinking of mid y ears make me want to shoot myself even tho i only failed two subs. duno what martin is thinking about right now since he failed all 5.

mass civics, things only got worse. wanted to pon but lucky i went. the lecture by keith tan from ministry of trade was rather cool. at least it was informative. minus everyone else being to rowdy and stuff, specially the two guys behind me, one was suenxin bf and the other one i dont know who.. such pests. already saw the scolding session from ms leong five minutes into the lecture. even the most nonsensical and rowdy of people- ME knows when to shut the **** up, duno whats up with these people. wadever.

came home early, wanted go mug one.. but guorui say he didnt bring PEN and PAPER today. how smart right.. *applauds for him* seriously duno whats going thru his head sometimes other than trying to cope my sweet! ohoh, and thilaiga plus cheryl.. wah lau eh... must take note to siam them next time. hahaha.. specially cheryl. lol. they are part of the reason why i need to spend 2 bucks daily on sweets.... i think if i start a list of people who try to cope my sweets daily, it would be a 3 page long gp essay. haha. mah. kidding.. not so jialat..

ah wells, so much work. gotta go back to doing group 7! whwat guorui said makes sense sia. our school seriously teaches too slowly.. and ahhhhh. testimonial. chiong ah!

2008-07-07T05:17:00.000-07:00

HOHOHO, back from sentosa and im pretty satisfied with my tan =). aniway, rather interesting day i had. charmaine birthday plus class outing both at sentosa. mr koh and mr tan both went! played frisbee, volleyball... charmaines bday surprise was totally hilarious.. she tot she going sentosa to watch jaffar and murphy play volleyball! instead we appeared. muahaha. and she even got slightly pissed off when jaffar started pulling her around to drag time...

as i expected, the guys diao me for pangsehing again... zzz, just blame it on the lousy timing, bo bian, ppl bday mahh... but played volleyball with em and a lil of ultimate frisbee before i went off with choir people again.. BC was once again the butt of all jokes. came late and was screaming at everyone for not picking up their phone and he was whining about having to cross every bridge to find where we were...

went window shopping after sentosa and omg, saw this super duper nice bag and shoe in adidas! dont even need to guess, the bag is a tote bag or wadever.. lols. i like it man. just that its 100 plus dollars and i dont have a tendency to save! and the NBA shoes. omg, totally awesome. shall drag my dad to vivo to buy me those shoes since mine are spoilt anyway..

reached home, realised no one except my maid is at home, had to start doign all the little things to ensure my mum didnt know i was at sentosa.. especially since i got a tan! haha. so end up having to wear a shirt over to prevent her from seeing the tan mark..

noticed something sad today tho.. my vocal range is no longer as large, probably reduced by one octave now... in addition to my ability to exert as much diaphragm power like last time and my lousy placement.. think im really going into retirement. haha. wonder what will happen and what ms tham will say after i get out of army and attempt to join the singapore youth choir.. haha. better start doing something to maintain certain standards or im dead..

2008-07-06T05:57:00.000-07:00

oh my gosh, my big brother is a talent..
my laptop crashed or sumthing already, kena some spyware thingy and then the com went sot. zzzzz. must have downloaded some wrong stuff... haha. now cant use laptop till he can reformat the whole thing.

LOLs, physics tuition was fun... mr tan was so damn stunned by the physics questions that he was amazed i could get 38percent.. haha. especially the capacitance question which i knew nuts about and still got so many marks..

oh wells, sunday.. always the most boring day of the week. fell asleep sometime after tuition and even missed my evening basketball session. how sad... =( oh wells, hope tomorrow is fun cos we are going sentosa!!!! both my class and choir peeps. going there with shermaine, gwen, jaffar(maybe, should be), eugene to celebtrate charmaines bday!! hope id bump into my classmates there.. feel so bad pangsehing again... later mingda and royden they all sure got more nonsense to say again...

2008-07-04T05:55:00.001-07:00

phew.. finally got home..
today was a crazy day.
champs for interhouse basketball games: PANTHER!

haha. totally omg man, had to juggle between basketball and volleyball. was like running in between both venues during our halftimes and breaks. lucky our team had good stamina to last thru that non stop 4 hours although each game was supposed to last only 15 minute. had to play against every single house.. haha, and lucky our team had 3 basketball players.. if i remember correctly, we won every team by a margin of 10. thanks mainly to weixian who kept such a good defence. and jiahong who seemed to have loads of energy to keep sprinting..

and panther came in second in floorball! haha. again, 24/07.. congrats guys.. always so enthu. haha. so sorry i couldnt play with you guys. already too drained playing basketball. but aniway, whatever we achieve, we achieve together! haha. yea. next week got squash, should go and play as well... make mr koh proud man..

after the 4 hours of intensive sports, went to have a long nice bathe in school. went out with shermaine for lunch at bugis where there was this event for lin you jia or sumthing. like collection of tickets or wadever. guess what. we bumped into XIANHUI queing up for it! typical auntie behaviour. wearing the same orange t-shirt as when we saw her at plaza sing the other time after exams... so farnie lah..

after that met up with zhiying, went to mug at some library at queenstown lib till evening. nice place man, very quiet and surprisingly still had a few seats for us to do our work despite it being in the middle of the day.. stayed on till 6 plus and i got real bored and zhiying wanted to go watch her lord of the ring. haha.

mm, should go and sleep soon. think my brain was fried today..

2008-07-04T05:55:00.000-07:00

wahhhh, today was probably the worst day of my life.
econs paper 2 was okay... 18/30 like terrence toh said.. but math paper one was a disaster..
shall not say what rubbish score i got but wadever lah.. sucks.
but aniway, what mr koh said really made me realise the urgency of the matter. (altho my parents seem to always say the same thing and it doesnt really seem to make an impact)
perhaps one really has to hit rock bottom before one is able to finally realise his mistakes.. hope i aint too late..

was so damn emo aftr getting back math paper, at least adrian bells lesson made me laugh a lil. went studying with charmaine shermaine and gwendoline after shermaine found me in the ohana mugging. haha. so RARE that u would ever find me mugging. but i guess that 6 full years of intensive choir has made me so so oblivious to whats really important-RESULTS. what a sad truth of life.

ah well, hope i do well for A levels, dont wana disappoint anyone, specially myself and some teachers who are so concerned about my grades and all. sighs.. back to mugging..

thanks shermaine!

2008-07-03T07:29:00.000-07:00

haha, hi shermaine, guess ull be the first to see this..
lol, thanks for helping me to create the blog since im a complete idiot when it comes to this kind of stuff. u can just add on to the iou list when we go nyny. but u better finish what u order or else ill kill you. haha

2008-07-03T07:00:00.001-07:00
