percussion bbq cum stayover; great. the day was spent marinating food, getting ourselves oily and dirty, picking people from the gate, receiving phone calls, giving directions to my place. hectic. then our night started at probably 5.30pm, attempting to get the fire started with the help of those whom we think they are able to, like jerrald, dominic and jooyeow. however, fire only started at probably 8 or 8.30pm, while we can only stare at the other pit bbq-ing prawns, beef, seafood and meat. damn. well i guess the patricks deserves applaud cos they were the ones who got the fire started and our food ready! especially auntie kenneth! :D always wanting to cook the food, cook his food and savouring his satays. and we have other patricks standing beside him, attempting to fan up the fire and using their air to help fan too! they want the credit, so we can just give it to them. we were supposed to expect like twenty-eight people, and the actual turnout was fourteen people. how sad. benjamin cheated us of nine people, wanling and yingjia couldn't come, becca came very much later at 1.20am, moses and ben didnt turn up, peace overseas, ben thia and ian couldnt make it. haii. it was like a rollercoaster ride, not knowing how many people can make it etc. but ultimately, it's still nice to see those people who turned out. even ganesh came! and he did us a big favour! :D it's always useful to have a really older senior around who can drive! :D perhaps the only regret was that we didnt bring a camera down to the pit to take lots of photos :( and zhiqi only took one photo! of linus sleeping on the sofa! hahaha, and he looked really peaceful, like finally after so much hassle, he can sleep. it was seriously draining, but enjoyable! :D i love cooking up the food and serving the hungry angels :D but 2007 is in less than two days' time and it will really busy for everyone of us. let's pray that we'll have ample time for each other! :D Signed, 5:20 p.m.
msia was boring! but with all the excitement from shopping and those trival stuff, it wasn't exactly that bad after all. besides, the only thing i bought that made me quite ecstatic is the wired drumset!  well my dad refused to buy it when i first saw it at a stall. probably it's fated. i went to another stall, not only was there a similar one, it was also cheaper! okay, sounds so auntie, but it's seriously fated! :D and i think i should go get a Msian PR. it's more happening in msia, like there's floods, there's robbery, gun shootouts and everything. my yearly holiday is always msia, since my uncle stays there and trips there are rather cheap too! but of course, when disgusting alevels is done, i'm gonna try and cross more than just the straits! :D anyways, anyone going for hols in kl, please stay at melia kl! that hotel has free comp and internet service in the room, i just totally had a good time surfing the net in the late nights. but then, it's rather ex for a hotel room, about RM300++. i'm a bit poor, so RM300++ is rather a lot! went up to genting the second day and seriously, genting is worse than boring, other than the shopping part. the only highlight of genting is probably the casinos, which under 21 not allowed to enter, so point is, genting is boring. i spent my night shopping, getting tired, and playing checkers and reversi with bryan. oh, not forgetting mario on my gameboy. luckily i'm smart enough to remember to bring my gameboy, if not i'll just wither and rot away in the room. tmr will be high time again! my house will turn into a chalet for one night, and there'll be many rumbles and tumbles throughout the night, i predict. well, all for percussion. thankfully my mom's nice enough to rent my living room to me, so that i can house the percussionists coming! i just pray that it won't be raining tmr night because we'll be bbq-ing and the fun will be gone if it's gonna rain. i just remembered mr jeow's farewell is tmr night, and it doesn't seem like anyone from my batch is going back for it :( but then, there's perc bbq at my place. it wouldn't be nice if i leave everyone here, and go somewhere else for another party. damn, i should have gotten mr jeow a gift. oh well.

i realised i'm so insensitive, until i'm beginning to hate myself. it's like why on earth did i do and say all those that i did, and why didn't it go through my brain first? damn. tactless, clumsy, crude, harsh, hasty, impolite, inconsiderate, indiscreet, insensitive, rash, stupid, thoughtless, uncivil, unfeeling, unkind, unpolished, unsubtle, unsympathetic, untactful, unthinking. anyways, despite all the negative points, i'm just so glad that i've still people like dear percussion around to withstand my annoying-ness. bleah. my wonderful section mates:  on a higher note, we're gonna have combine percussion chalet or some outing again! it'll be really fun, i hope, with the usual jokers around, and board games supplied by jeremiah to play with. i guess things will change when 2007 comes, and it's getting really scary cos it's the alevel year. today's prac at smu was alright. didn't exactly know how a university band works, but i guess it was good experience, and a prelude to what we might expect in uni lives, if i ever get there. the exchange was more entertaining than the one with the msian girls band, cos we sightread a piece that was very excitin that i totally couldnt catch up at all. important thing is that, we're gonna play it for concert next year! it's seriously gonna be hardwork, at least for percussion, and i'll not dream about getting that part to play. practising it will be beneficial, but performing it will probably make my legs and hands wobble. the whole week was like a normal school day. had been to school nearly everyday the whole week. monday was appeals and i went down to show support to jasmine. tuesday, the section went down to move percussion instruments all the way from sajcband room to sas hall, in the terrible heavy downpour. i wonder who ever appreciates the hardwork that the section does. if only i wasn't sick, they would then have an extra hand to help them transport the instruments over. i love my section! :D then wednesday was the exchange with the msian band, then thursday was sectionals for smu exchange. friday was yet another sudden band prac, and today's the smu exchange! how great. i think even if school starts, it doesn't really feel like school started cos we've been school so regularly during hols! but no pain, no gain! it's just another one or two miles more to syf! we can do it man! all the way! there's a party tonight, partly a farewell for eugene cos he's going away to texas for an uni exchange and a pre-christmas party! yay, lots of food and company :D i hope he gets something from japan for me. after all, it's my hometown. hahahahaha :D and it'll be a whole night of no-sleep, then sending him to the airport at four plus and proceeding to msia for a short getaway cum shopping! :D Signed, 3:50 p.m.
yesterday was auditions for appeal. everything turned out quite well and there were probably thirteen or fourteen appealers. dragged myself out of bed with this terrible headache and sore throat. with many reasons for not going, i had to go cos i told jasmine ngu that i'll turn up. besides, when i appealed last year, peace helped me a lot as a senior as well, so i wanna help other juniors too, though the help i can offer is pretty limited. luckily she had her confidence and maturity with her, i hope she'll get through it, to carry on the "one sc bandit per batch" thing in sajc band :) after the auditions, we went shopping for a gift for the Taman Pertaling Girls High School Band. eventually bought a box of chocolates, and gonna probably hand make a card or something. that was the last update i have. and we finally had the jack's place student set lunch! maybe cos i wasn't feeling well, i ate less than one tenth of it and got really full. it wasn't very nice, but i think it's kinda worth it. a main course, drink and two scoops of icecream! and all only for $6.50! it was probably good bargain since it's a restaurant after all. i had extra cream of shiitake mushroom soup and the whole lunch cost $12. not too bad i think. at least i was full, which was never the case. we had the sas percussion with us, and along the way, they were making lots of noise, super embarrassing. actually it was only ben thia making all the random noises, very much didnt want to admit his presence. then came dominic who added on to the embarrassement and stupid acts. that two kids are really the joke of the section man. never had i seen such nonsense kids before! they were so random, so nonsense, so embarrassing, that they brought us to the extreme edge of laughter. hahahaha. i guess the section wouldn't be the same without them, seriously. after all the hassle, they went to watch deja vu, and i skipped it to earn a rest at home. they heed ljy's advice ("deja vu is not bad"), but apparently ljy said it's not a very good movie to watch! so they probably wasted their money, and enjoyed it cos ben thia said he was going to scream all the way cos he's damn scared, and that would bring more laughing chances. hahaha. oh well, a bunch of kids. and kids love bear! hahahaha. every now and then, they'll mention bear here, bear there! yay! and thanks to bear, i'm probably not gonna be forced to "drink" some yang ming jiu thingy. HOORAY! so now the new scandals are getting hot. woo. we're out to find out the underlying truth! woo. Signed, 12:51 p.m.
i finally bought a pair of shoes! not very in love with it, but it's finally like my precious own pair and one of the most expensive pair i've bought! yay! when other people are out there, enjoying the youth that they have, spending money when they feel like, there're other people on the other side of the earth, feeling helpless and penniless, always having to think about saving money for the future, thinking about doing well for exams, having their parents' stress on them. i wish i was in the first group of people. i studied a bit of carboxylic acids just now, when i was on my way to shoe shopping. i guess i totally lost the knowledge of the other compounds, like alkane alkene etc. how am i going to pass that chunky test when term starts again? my sis say i won't pass cos i was planning to fail. oh well.    i need someone to go for icecream buffet, if there is any. icecream makes me happy :) Signed, 5:15 p.m.
yesterday was combine outing with andrews and patricks at marina square. there was band prac in the morning and it was supposed to be till twelve. but was extended until one thirty and we were late. the patricks are really nice people, majority of them were so damn early, as early as one pm. so it means that they waited for us, for more than one hour! nice people :) perhaps the only pity was that we weren't good enough towards the patricks, or maybe it's just me. all of them deserves to be pat on the shoulder! i got to know the patricks more and talked to them quite a bit, like benjamin and auntie kenneth! and we declared that the whole perc section's thai and they were so nice to accomodate us and our nonsense! hahaha. crazy time with them. and i nearly got a chocz cake treat! fortuanately i managed to control the desire to want to eat a cake, or not, from the buffet and all, it's no miracle that 10kg worth of fats will just pile on me. it wasn't as if it came suddenly. i guess i wasn't strong enough to stop myself from feeling that way, and perhaps i was being paranoid towards the whole thing. but honestly, i was really not pleased. it's impossible to accomodate everyone, i know. but in the end, it wasnt about accomodating, it was the question about what the outing is for and who is it for. easy is not the word to describe now. it's a screwed up life.

one:  two:  three:  i was roaming the moshimoshi jewellery website, after having this obsession over Yul's necklace and a visit to the wisma outlet yesterday. i scanned through, and found this three that caught my eye. especially the first one. it's similar to the one Yul wears and it's really one of those kind that i wanted so long ago. now just waiting for the right moment with the right amount of cash :D and i just realised christmas is nearing! which probably makes the desire easier to fulfil. tomorrow will be shopping for cousin's wedding, shoes for school (to replace the worn out addidas), shopping for chains and beads in attempt to try and make the glam necklace i want. i'm beginning to see more light now. i shall spend the rest of my hols working on homework, having the fair share amount of fun and stay happy. kailing wanted me to bake tiramisu cheesecake. it kinda motivated me to wanna try and bake cheesecakes cos it seems really good. and currently, i have this slight obsession over oreo cookies. i just want chocolate oreo bubbletea, i wanna bake oreo cheesecake, oreo this oreo that. oreo is just so nice. time to start on work again! i don't wanna care about anything anymore. i'll just leave it the way it is, the situation will not change, i cannot be bothered too. if i have to tell you what i want you to do, then there's no point in me saying it to you. it's mean of me to leave you stranded by yourself, but in the first place, you didn't wanna tell me about it, so it's pointless now to explain the actions that you've made because it doesn't matter anymore. your disappointment is no greater than the disappointment i have.

band camp has finally ended. it was six days of torture and like what we say, it's like a boot camp. our daily work out would have to be the moving of instruments from one campus and back, and it's repeated many many many times each day. just friday, we moved a record of six times. it's not only physically draining, but also mentally draining. i'll just say that out of six days worth of time, i spent four days moving instrument, or feeling really tired from slacking and doing nothing. it wasn't just band camp. sometimes i just wonder if i was sensible in thinking the way i did. trashed outs, opinions. there were many ups and downs, too many till i dont have much energy left to tackle all those that i think we have to. i don't want to think anymore. fortunately, band camp is finally over. it'll be the last time we'll be having real fun, because real life begins now. so much work to be done, there's just simply no time to procrastinate and live day by day. let's just study hard first! i allowed myself for this to happen, and i won't allow myself for a next time. you made me think that things like this wouldn't happen, but now that it did, i will not believe you again. the trust is fading away. it may seem as though it's not as serious, but to me, it is serious. time to do some work!
