Of cherry blossoms... dance in the air...

Of cherry blossoms... dance in the air...

got back my results... not bad i must say.. only a little disappointed with my FFB... but what's over can't be changed... the class bbq and chalet was fun... lotsa rubbish conversations and laugh... sad isnt it??? only after finally getting to know each other better.. we have to seperate... i wonder why was there this system in the first place... Hypocritical totally man... the next thing we know... the school expects us to start becoming good friends with new people and repeat the same thing 6 times... this is so fucked up... after knowing some friends.. we have to become people who just turn our ead and make new friends... and just acknowledge the old ones with a smile??? what a sad world...

sigh... i wonder where i will stand in 5 years time... i really do not really mind pursuing the life of a pilot... hahaha... yup after my NS... it's better than the hospitality world after... where two faced people exist big time... thinking of next semester's subjects just make me sick... maybe JC was more suited for me... but freedom... that's worth above everything eles...~

I have often wondered about the really deep thoughts of japanese manga and anime artists... is it the reason that this world is unsatisfactory to them that they have "created" the world which they desire so much through anime and mangas??? those world where everything is peaceful and the sky is clear after a tough battle with whatever that the character faces... ya.. that kinda world.. i want it too...~

darn.. my sentences are getting broken and uncomplete... well what can you expect from me at this ungodly hour... although it's only 1am... soon this percieved long holiday period of two months will be over... like a flash of memory... it seems just yesterday that i was in sec 3... it was almost just yesterday that all my close khakis are laughing and joking together... it seems only yesterday that we could talk about anything... but all these are gone now... we're almost strangers... putting up a pretence of the past... i hate changes like these... when i retire... i'll just go somewhere peaceful and not tt crowded and live a solitude life... where changes are at minimum...

feelings and joy of the past can never be repeated or achieved and gained back again... things will be different... behind a smile... filled with worries and thoughts... am i such a person??? sometimes i really wonder too... are we just puppets that play along a never ending play in this world??? deep thoughts... one who take things in his stride and forgive and let go of provocation... that is what i should aim for... how i wish this ever changing urban world will return to a state of the past.. where nature and traditional ways rule... where we can run and play in the meadows and forests and listen to the songs of the night and gaze at the stars...

*wishful thinking*

Death at Autumn... Life in Spring

Death at Autumn... Life in Spring

The exams are finally over and thus the first semester comes to an end... the papers wasn't difficult at all... but some bazaar question came out for the FFb paper... What is Carbonic Maceration in wine making??? it's like... who the hell knows man... well i just put in that it's a process where by the acidity of the wine is reduced in charred oak barrels to give a smoother tasting wine. And when i went home to check... it's actually a type of fermentation process which gives the wine a lower tannin level... sigh... My Tan H.W. gonna have a great time reading all the bullshit that we wrote in... he should have a good laugh at some of the answers.~

Econs was easy man... and so was intro to HTM.. man that paper was such an arse... the past yr papers asked questions which have 90% no link to the lecture notes... but this time... 90% was from the lecture notes... hahahahahahahahahz... but luckily... a smart person like ME... will have no problems answering.. especially the last essay question which asked about how the 117th IOC meeting in singapore contributed to the tourism industry... lotsa bullshitting in there i must say.~

Got my hair cut at Kimage... not bad i must say.. and Sheryl had to say it looks like rennie's... there's so many changes at Sheraton... went back on Sunday and i survived!!! thank god my table was filled with nice kind souls... hahahz.. really didn't mind serving them... there's also this bloody fucker asshole... he think he so darn great... kaoz... not my table i kindly get them drinks and tea and i also have to handle my own table needs... i didn't have time to get this particular guy his red wine... and he come and trash me off... WTF... it's like can't he see me walking all over the place like a mad person getting drinks... gosh... scold the feller serving your table lar... it's not as if its my problem... i am not paid to serve you only... bloody fucker...~

Went back to band today... at the old ping yi... the saxophones are really improving in their marching... but music wise.. all i can say that is i really doubt if they have brains... especially the alto sax... thank god the tenor saxs are ok.. just teach them a few times... explain a bit and they get it... the altos... gosh... can really vomit blood... up till now they still can read notes properly... play properly... even the way their fingers are a problem.. change notes must lift the finger so god darn high... how to run in the future... simple counting and playing also CMI... wait till they see off beat and half count notes half count rest... i think they will die man...

the Trumpets really was like having the whao factor today man... in the past especially the 2004 outdoor period.. the trumpets only can hear one or two.. but today.. it was like whao... it not only can be felt.. they can be heard clearly!!! really nice... Went home with Jun Xiang... ate Kentucky Fried Chicken... hahahz... went home on bus 17... all the stupid boy's fault... sheeze~

I've also been thinking that maybe i'll join Singapore Airlines cadet pilot... i just love travellign and flying... hahahz...~

Exams… The Feeling of Joy and Laziness

Exams… The Feeling of Joy and Laziness

Hmm... i wonder how long it was since i last made a productive and meaningful post... hahahahahahaz... all the other times whenever the page loads and i started typing... i get the feeling of laziness and boredom... and the thought of typing puts me off... ;)

Finally all the projects are done and i’m into the study week... three papers... yup that’s all i have. Although i love studying... the feeling of laziness sometimes will be too overwhelming that I have to slack and just listen to the radio or watch some anime... hahahahahahz... yeah... slacking is nice… but studying... it’s got its fun part too ya know, especially when i have to go online and search for more info... like the uses or herbs and more information on them and ... practically more information to increase my knowledge... those in the lecture notes are kinda little... sooooooo i need more information...

Went out with Jun Xiang the other day after the teachers day celebration in Springfield... thanks to him we spent 25mins sitting in the rip curl shop at City Link… waiting for him to decide on which rip curl bag to purchase... the few store keepers were like wondering WTF were we doing sitting down.. corrections... what i was sitting on the bench facing the bag display... and JX was is this nice... there must be nicer ones... sheeze...

The celebration in the hall was kinda boring... a lot of dances and singing... darn those students... they only wanna perform because they wanna show the school that they think they are good at it... not because they are performing to entertain the teachers... so many of the dances were done with raps and those R&B songs which got cut and paste here and there and all the sleezy dance moves with arse shakin and boobs bobbin... for god sake.. u think the teachers wanna see that??? Hello... this is a school... not some pub. However *this sounds so commskills* there are some classes that did a great job highlighting the fact that it was, afterall a teachers day celebration... one of my junior’s class sang Celine Dion with the ending lyrics edited in thanks to the teachers... the last part... the AV boys went to cut the music.. but that gal was superb... her voices was damn good and she really and I meant literally shock the whole school who thought she couldn’t sing at all... and to think it was a celine dion piece... two thumbs up for that gal * I dunno her name.. but well... She’s from GB... Wan Leng’s junior*

Gave almost all of my homemade cookies to the teachers that i wanna give except for mrs cheoh... darn she was sick on such a day... around 40 sprinfielders came back to wish the teachers a happy teachers day... as compared to the previous batch of students.. who do not even bothered to return last yr... those ungrateful brates... that's why i feel that this 1988 batch of babies have this special bond.. even though we have graduated... the whole bunch of us still hang out together at times and even gather for dinner... this particular bonding is not felt in other batch of students and we can feel it... especially when we return for band.. the current sec 4s and 3s do not possessed this special thing... * for those who understand.. ya know what i mean... for those who don't... you'll never undertand* hahahahz... was a copycat from mr poh's saying of "Marching band: for those who understand, No explanation is needed!!! For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible!!"

i find this saying very true... when a marching band member tries to explain what a marching band is about... it will be a case where i vomit blood and the sky will fall before that person will understand...

Finally had my revenge (muahahahahahahahz) on Jennifer... well she got a “D” for Intro to HTM individual coursework grade... that women should be smiling and counting herself lucky that she didn’t fail or she would have failed the whole subject. At times i also think that i am being too harsh and sort of bad on her by hoping she fail… but then… well she deserves that kinds grade.... have to be fair for the rest of the group members… I was expecting the rest of the group to achieve a “B”... but only Tung Ling, Peilin and i got it... the rest got a “C+”...

The two new animes on Arts Central are really nice... namely "Peacemaker Kurogane" and "Scrapped Princess"... although both anime are only a short 24 episodes... it’s definitely worth my time... and i must say that I really love the opening and ending song for peacemaker... "You Gonna Feel" and "Hey Jimmy!"... damn nice... just yesterday... I finally get to watch BLEACH... it’s not bad i must say... kinda exciting and funny...

Sigh... my latest dinner that I spent the whole day preparing was not 100% welcomed by everyone... sighz... Singaporeans are just so darn Chinese and traditional when it comes to food... they cant even accept and appreciate cuisines from other cultures like French and even a mix of Italian and Indian... I really felt that i have cooked for the wrong group of people that night... But i’m glad that my Tiramisu went well... my darn pumpkin soup was considered an 90% hit... but Han Wen’s mum had to complain that it’s too thick and she went to dilute the remaining ¼ pot of it to the consistency of water... darn... the cream soup became blend in taste... pumpkin soup was meant to be drank thick and creamy...

i find that i have not done my best... it will be an uphill climb for me to come out in the top 5% of my course... sigh... how can i achieve that??? but really... sometimes i think that i should just be happy having grades which are in the middle... but it's my nature to fight and compete until i get to the top... if not, among the top...

*rennie... take care ya.. dun push yourself too hard... must enjoy life ;) ... it's been so long since we went out... along with alstone and caine...*

~nite cycling... ppl... Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee after the exams... no excuses!!!
