Peace out, for now.

It is completely disgusting how xenophobic people can be. While one talks about having a freer state and more representative politics, he can turn the other way against people who have led similar lives to him - only because they hold a different citizenship status on paper. So much for the open-mindedness you'll like to think you have.

I thank all that has happened.

Schedule remains kind of tight, but that's a prescription that I've subscribed to long ago. Surfacing from the depth of R Project, CO Concert, Illuminate, and academic stuff (which I've yet to start), it's been really heartening to have the support of many friends around me.

ANYWAY IF YOU ARE FREE:
30 April (this friday): RJ Chinese Orchestra Concert 7.30pm @ Singapore Conference Hall (: $10
Long nights have been spent planning and practising so do come and support :D Text me if you want tickets because they are selling out soon! & Close to 700 tickets sold :D

29, 30 May: R Project
sketch stitch and jam the sewing machine but it will be good :D

Everything feels so surreal suddenly.
One moment we were typing out countless PW drafts
& the next we were told that results will be out today.

All the best dingdingssss!

I am at my usual hideout again -- Same table, Same barista, Same time of the day.

Liuqin. I think I really let Mr. S down, all the expectations he had of me. So many times he explained where I am faltering, so many times he pointed it out, so many times he knew that I was just deceiving myself that I am putting in enough effort -- because I am not. Yet, he was still very very nice & tried to make me come to terms with all these, right from day one. Everything he did right from day one makes sense to me now. I think the talk was good. Resolution of the week: Concentrate during every practice everyday. Nothing too demanding, let's go! (:

NYCE. I'm a tad bit irritated because my cutesy email just got reformatted into a boring agenda sheet that obviously no one will read, not even me. I'm sorry for those you came & we didn't manage to do much ):

School. I see my to-do list piling. The previous week was pretty relaxing actually because all the datelines were either on Monday or Tuesday. I got my healthy dose of sleep for the rest of the week. Friends, Thai food, Need to exercise. Coming to terms with everything, I realized that I do not have good hand brain coordination naturally but I get accustomed to repeated movements IF I concentrate. Same problem as liuqin.

Debates. Is anyone adjudicating at 6pm this Friday? We can share a cab, we can claim (:

Some days I ask myself why I did what I have done

In Your Mind -- Carol Ann Duffy

The other country, is it anticipated or half-remembered?
Its language is muffled by the rain which falls all afternoon
one autumn in England, and in your mind
you put aside your work and head for the airport
with a credit card and a warm coat you will leave
on the plane. The past fades like newsprint in the sun.
You know people there. Their faces are photographs
on the wrong side of your eyes. A beautiful boy
in the bar on the harbour serves you a drink - what? -
asks you if men could possibly land on the moon.
A moon like an orange drawn by a child. No.
Never. You watch it peel itself into the sea.

Sleep. The rasp of carpentry wakes you. On the wall,
a painting lost for thirty years renders the room yours.
Of course. You go to your job, right at the old hotel, left,
then left again. You love your job. Apt sounds
mark the passing of the hours. Seagulls. Bells. A flute
practicing scales. You swap a coin for a fish on the way home.

Then suddenly you are lost but not lost, dawdling
on the blue bridge, watching six swans vanish
under your feet. The certainty of a place turns on the lights
all over town, turns up the scent on the air. For a moment
you are there, in the other country, knowing its name.
And then a desk. A newspaper. A window. English rain

I am such a retard..

because I spent the past two hours trying to draw shapes on MS PPT ): Maybe I ought to live in the Jurassic age where technology cease to exist. It will make me feel a whole lot more capable [Yet to include the techno dino moments when I texted Rachel to ask about not-very-technical-but-too-much-to-manage stuff:]

One more week before I return to our humble abode, block J, and be whisked into an insane routine that I've yet to find out. Yesterday night, this sad fact just dawned on me: I have not touched any of my holiday homework & I am doing my final internship report this week.

Things to do: Math Tutorial, Econs Essay, CSE IS (Proposal & Draft), CSE Essay, Read Hamlet & Revenger's Tragedy, Japan Reflections, Practise Liuqin, NAC report.

... all in a matter of hours before I go to bed each night. There's a kind of feeling that sets in which hints that J2 is not going to be the same as last year. More comm responsibilities to uphold, Close to Zero tolerance for skipping lectures, tutorials & uncompleted homework etc

Feeling so broken after saturday's rehearsal is probably just part of this game play. Cried in my sleep & slept as I cried, because that's not something I will deliver. 9 more days to performance day & I don't really think I am ready. Speaking to ST & G has certainly been most comforting in defining my direction once again. The path we tread won't be smooth, but together we'll pull through

Today is half day. I handed in draft 2 of my internship report yesterday. Today is not the day I would enthusiastically churn out powerpoint slides. I am pretty glad that my current attachment provides me with this (pretty huge) breathing space to read up online (well, that is essential what I am supposed to do for 4.5 weeks). So today wasn't that much of typing reports, but merely soaking up things to drop in draft 3 on monday.

( Not something you should read on New Year's Eve. )

Happy New Year 2010 (: & I'm off to lunch.
Happy Birthday Cheryl L :D

When you get your hopes up high, reality lets you down again.

Not very happy that I am missing CO a million billion times because of schdules changes. I need to practise a whole lot more if I do not want to embarrass myself in two weeks. I hope to play something else apart from Ringtones because it just sounds a bit odd that we're only playing one song. (We're doing more than that right? Actually idk cause I haven't seen everyone for so long):

Let's just say I do not know what I am doing at ST's house each week because I try, I practise at home & when I get there everything just goes wrong -- fingerings, tunes, strings, fraps. Let's go I can do it (: 4 songs, 6 days.

Note: I love starbucks ssc. :D

Point proven, we need more succeessful class gatherings

(sounds like intensive class outings to make up for the lack of them but it'll be cool:)
Note: The play Season's Greetings wasn't as innocent as it sounds! Haha

409 dinner/starbucks hangout at holland v :D Photos from cheryl's camera
Heartwarming, cosy, funny. This shows why I am wearing spectacles, just like at home.
Of course, the photos are not representative of the number of people who went; there were many more.
Amazingly I wasn't mega camwhorish that that :D & Amanda when are we going cycling! :D
