Generic Title hmm…

So I've been busy what else is new. A lot of stuff in the past week. Met up with Shaun and the NP violinists for some practice for our parts in celebration. It's picking up alright. Sectionals after that…Then later for main band. After main band I find I was selected for a position in the FOC committee. Whooptedoo. Stayed back real late last night at macs with Aloysius, Ruth, Shi Ying, Sebastian, Wei Kit and Cheong Chin. O well we took a cab to our homes. Damn its costly.


 

Nothing much to say this morning. Just drinking my self-made mocha in peace.

Call it..choices

Well I've been like super busy the past few days and seriously I've been paying back all the free time i've ever taken by losing lots of sleep just to do that fubar Cell Bio Project. Now its over..after much of a hassle which i don't really want to discuss.

Stats went by quick..so did the talk with Dr Mirko..or is it Mr Mirko?

The guy that sounds like an irish but is actually german but speaks with Singaporean slang?

Played Jurrasic Park once with Tim, Joe and CC and went to church.

These days morale is so damn low that I don't play how i should be.

Carolling pract went alright...we did most of the news stuff. Maybe this year is a lot more tough then what we did in previous years.. John has us thinking up improvised parts and stuff. I'm really not sure I'm going to cope with the more intensive carolling and band at the same time. Yet alone my other projects. I can't surrender Carolling and Rondeau because they both mean alot to me. Maybe its time to put one of those projects on hold.

Sigh...

Lapse

Ok I haven't updated in a while...been real busy lately. Lots of work to do and that damn Cell Bio project...sigh a pain in the ass if you ask me..Cletus's wedding coming up, CTs as well...Carolling...Band....gigs....what else..so busy these days...I have time for a laugh or too but it always leaves me desperate for time....damn that Cell bio project is due TOMMOROW..I'm we're not done yet...this is real scary...

Yesterday i had a good time with Joven. Talking about stuff..horoscopes, girls and other things...too bad Brennan ain't around. He's always like the big brother of the three of us.

Yesterday as well Joven looked up his horoscope and tried the colour test..he agrees that it is 90% accurate mostly and that it is freakish.

Myself I still remember what I need...Dr Feelgood. She definitely hasn't changed but maybe there's more than one Dr Feelgood now. It just feels good to have "someone" to back you up and give you that just motivation to move on and keep going. Before two Thursdays ago, I was running on soulless motivation. Then i had a run in with a Dr Feelgood. (Smart people dig up the past) 11/15/07

How in the world do you people do that. You can make people feel good about themselves with just simple words..

Though this may seem foolish...I put this here for recalling. I may remember things that people don't...but there are some things i guess i don't want to forget about. Better get to that project...

A field day
Well today's been real busy. Lab was long and tiresome. Inserted into this entry are the numerous photos i took of today's lab lesson.

Todays entree was Methyl Salicylate. We were going to make salicylic acid from Methyl Salicylate. It was a long process that involved two suction steps to get the stuff purified. No easy feat at all.






Here is a random photo I took when i was bored in lecture during Cell Bio but anyway, test this wednesday so gotta start studying. Mr Mak says it will be easy but i doubt so. I'm in for a whole lotta shit man.
Band practice went swell. We ran through Merry Wives of Windsor (Winds only) with Mr Tan. Although it still has many intonation problems which really can't be helped but at least the notes are coming together. I couldn't help but laugh at the poor oboeist. I seriously apologise but you sounded really funny at some parts that just were hillarious. Not insulting your skill or anything I'm sure you're capable.
Not likely the oboeist would read this to begin with hmm....
well anyway. Now I'm sitting in the clubhouse at 10.30 at night. Waiting for Julian.
One of the stupidest things i did today...packed the laptop and everything else..but I forgot to pack the other half of my charger. I brought the part that connects to the socket but not the part that connects to the laptop haha..

A nice day

So the day really wasn't that bad at all. Class was boring as usual so yeah shan't discuss.

After class on my way to the band room i was taking the route off block 73 and I turned around to see Clarisse behind me. I let her catch up and had a jolly old conversation with her over lunch or sort of lunch anyway. We talked from around 3.30 to 4.15 when Sean came by and he joined us. At around 4.40 he invited us up to NP strings clubhouse to help him with his intonation. Helped him the best I could i gave him the best advise i could on his violin intonation. I'm no string player but I give what help I can.


 

At sectionals I guess my morale was lifted. I should be thankful that I know that at least I have some standard. Thanks Jeremy!

I now have the heart to face challenges with a bit more kick again. Just what i needed to get me on my feet again.

All in all...not a bad day at all.

A nice personality, friendly and a character who is so easy to talk to. Not a bad person at all.

Dead eye
This is my first entry in nearly 6 days. Been really busy that I don't even recall everything i did.

Ok lets work back from after wednesday. Thursday...

Thursday
Deepavali ! Sec school classmates and I met up for a gathering. We met at the bus interchange at AMK hub. The people who turned up, Hui Han, Magnum, Wee Yang, Zhe Xuan, Song Yuan, Yi Chao, Zi Wei and Jia Wen. Zi wei , wee yang and I went for lunch at macs first and we met up with the rest again at Kpool. I spent a good 30 minutes or so teaching wee yang and zi wei how to play pool. I then beat Jia wen at 1 round of pool at which i almost lost but regained the upper hand at the last moment. Later we played a few combined rounds and lost a matche. My partner was song yuan zzz...

Most of them left early and soon it was just Magnum, Hui Han, Jia wen and wee yang. (Not forgetting myself). We went up to AMK hub again to the food court to talk the minutes away. We went down to NTUC afterwards so i could do my price check for the drinks on Saturday. While i was searching through Joven arrived and I left the old gang and went off with Joven. We waited around for Brennan and his friend. We caught the show Game Plan and I think it was a good and heartwarming show. After the show Bren's friend went home and we went to Cheers at the AMK MRT station to talk away the time. Since it has been a while. We ended up discussing the "Christmas History" piece that Jo and I put together.

Thursday ended too soon....

Friday
IS day yes! Went down early to meet Philbert and Joe for a game of Badminton. We sure had some good scores and well we haven't got much better (excluding Philbert). It was a good game i must say. Went for lunch with Joe and went to the library to slack. Met Yew Jia and her boyfriend there and she advised me to print the scores for last week's test and I did so. When we went up for Com Toolkit sure enough, Ms Priscilla did ask for the scores. While everyone went off to print i sat around and talked to Ms Priscilla about the group's work. After forwarding the group's discussion and Mr Chuan's reply statement, most people came back and we were at work. Peter and I couldn't give a damn much since we were really bored and we did the work ahead of schedule and ended playing DOW. Wee.....I know i shouldn't be...

When class ended we just didn't stop we went to atrium for 2 more games but we lost none the less. Went home and had sax class and spent the rest of the day working on the scores for the gig group.

Saturday
Up and about by 6pm when mum made a racket getting out the door on accident. I fell asleep on the couch with Phoneix sleeping in my lap. I left the house at 6.45 none the less and made my way to harbor front. Apparently i over estimated the time and arrived at 7.30 at Harbor front centre. I recced the place abit and went over to the MRT entrance B and fell asleep in the corner away from plain view. At 8.30 I received "late" mesages from Belinda and Kosin. 8.40 I messaged kosin and Karmen. Alas Karmen was already there! How punctual!
She had apparently walked right past me because she couldn't see me in the corner. She heard me when i called Charissa on the phone. Brian arrived not long after followed by Kosin and we got the rest of the drinks. We waited at Macs for everyone else and those present had their breakfast.

At sentosa we got down to business quick. We were late 1 hour or so but it didn't stop the fun. Captains ball and followed by a circuit game. The most icky game really involving using mouth to collect sea water and fill up a cup. Blowing a ping pong ball in the sand. Picking out a frozee from a container of flour. Balloon walking a short distance and finally the longest line. People were doing everything. Pants, Shirts (omg even girls O_O, never knew they were so outgoing! *only shirts though you perverts*), belts and everything that could be spared including $10 notes!

We spent alot of time eating and talking. I left with the usual gang (Belinda, Joshua and Gary) and a few others like Norain, Suhaila (I dunno how to spell your name, sorry!!) and Hali. Really tired and was rather grumpy all the way back.

I took the bus back home with Hali and I arrived home at 6pm. I did a recording of "The Rap" with bro. Not too great but o wells. I tried doing the rest of my work but failed.

Saturday was over and Sunday came....

Sunday
Woke up at 5.50 aching to hell. Got my stuff and got out the door by 6.30 and we reached by 6.50 at church. Mass was over quicker then i expected. Breakfast and practice ensued. I feel i really screwed up practice to hell man...I really feel so demoralised...

Well regardless. Anyway Gig practice wasn't too great. We couldn't co-ordinate the parts as well as i hoped. Luckily we still have 2 months or so.

Went to eat dinner with Hozzan and Joven and Joven came by my place and we had a bomb of a time laughing our asses off over the crazy indian videos with english phonetic translations.

A good time but I failed to finish my work again and that was the last straw. I blew it....

Monday blues....

Monday
I really had no mood on monday already. I rushed all the stats homework through out the day and tried to do everything i could. I even spent the precious 2 hours of break before band doing stats.

I missed dinner with the gang and instead ate with Sebestian, Yi Yang, Kenneth and others. Went up for practice and again i think i screwed up again. It seems my persona is radiating emoness or grumpiness, no one was talking and only Mitchell seemed to be herself. I couldn't bare the day...I went home with Julian on the 52. I tried to do the remaining stats questions but failed because i was just too tired...

Monday ended sadly and doomsday came...

Tuesday @!#!#!@
Lab lesson was SO BORING. She was briefing us for ONE whole hour and my ass was aching to hell and I was so drowsy. I shan't discuss it further...

Stats went well..I did 21 out of 25 for the test..thanks to rushing all those stats questions. But alas I failed to complete my tutorials and means i have wasted more time and now I end up doing them again. I just finished them 20 minutes ago and I have another bomb of stats questions to finish AGAIN. Week 4 and 5's work. Damn stats..easy to do but long to solve.

I've got carolling prac later. At least i got good ole Joven to talk to later. I'm so stressed these days I'm pulling my hair...I can't sleep peacefully either. Sigh...I hope this time passes fast. I'm sick and overburdened. What else do i need?

------------------------

So overworked these days I barely have time for myself. Its kinda pathetic that i'm doing things for others but nothing for myself. Even worse. Projects due in 2 weeks!!!! Not A project but TWO. Damn I'm like so doomed.

I need a break....where's that death time stopwatch?

This here is the workstation I'm at doing all my stats work. I finally got my phone storage card to work properly again. I've lost all the photos i've been taking from lab sessions and other stuff.

Everyone seems to be happier then me, life just aint fair isn't it?

Life takes you on a wild roller coaster ride and makes you happy for a while. In a blink of an eye you're down in the dumps like some old tramp. Sucks dosen't it?
Lets hope things pick up. I really don't wanna be living every single day of my life in poly like this..

For the second time....

Ok SHIT she woke me up late again..no wait SHE DIDN"T wake me up at all. For the second time because of her I'm late for school because she assumes if i don't get up i don't have school -_-....god damn why don't you just understand unless i SAY i have no school then you can don't wake me up?

Stupid....

Anyhoo....Yesterday's steamboat went nicely. Started with a morning project discussion and some crapping around. I successfully scored Guan Huai Fang Shi into the required parts. Well after that we went to get the stuff after waiting for Belinda for 35 minutes (we wasted that good 35 minutes mind :D), we got various "balls" (no not human balls), hot dogs, noodles, cheese tofu, meat and various other stuff. We crap talked around the table for quite a while and went upstairs to take photographs in Kexin's room. After which her cat FINALLY came home. He reminds me of O"mally.

Regardless anyway..it was a great time and we watched Belinda play hell gate London for 15 minutes. She was screaming and pointing at the creatures lol....

We left at around 9.45 and we walked Belinda to the bus stop where she can take her bus and the rest of us got into a cab and I sent all of them to destinations along the way. The bill wasn't too bad. 12+ , gary paid the remaining few minutes of the journey himself. Well anyway I've got to do other things now.


 

I am so looking forward to tomorrow's sec school outing. I miss those guys and gals lots...

Finally some proof
Finally at last...proof of my performance at a buisness convention, this was taken last year during the performance.

Violins : Elizabeth Chen, Joven Tan

Guitar : John Teo

Flute : Benjamin Toh ( Yours truly )


Although it seems mighty long ago that this happened alot of new opportunities are unwinding and so many new experiances to see. Such as today's stage band performance. It certainly had a fresh feeel and stuff. The performance went well but we didn't exactly have the crowd we hoped for so yeah it sorta kind explains the disappointment..A zoomed out shot of the performance, John Teo is blocked out by the stand hahaha. O well time to sleep really tired ...

And THATS the way that it is...

Well particularly there was nothing really much today. Went for band did the IS shit and typed the email and sent it along. I have a dozen other things running in my mind and that blasted performance tomorrow.

Not exactly pleasant.

Looks good, smelt good and definitely good that's for sure i guess. I look forward to meeting up with the ole gang on deepavali for some reunion stuff. I miss those guys and girls.
