Pasir Ris Beach.

Taken sometime in December? During Family Chalet. =)

Valentime's Day.

Blee. Spent the past few days bringing guitar to school and practising.

Anyways, school mission today. Hee, anything that allows you to skip lessons an entire day is always fun and interesting.

Woke up at 5.30am, went to school, class was empty except for me. =\ Waited for Mu Chen/Chee Hock to come, went down to space to practice, practiced till around 7.20 then went assembly.

Walked to the Catholic Youth Center thingy with a lollipop! And Koon Tat! Heh. School Mission itself was ok...although it was like a repeat of last year? Maybe just a way to refresh our memories or something. Went for Lunch with Mu Chen and Koon Tat. Hahaha, we three bought the exact same thing to eat at Hougang mall food court la...

Then went to go drop the coin in the machine with toy thing. Bleah, words cannot describe the thing la. So anyways, I got a new green green! HEEHEEHEE =P

Nvm, I'm speaking some profound language.

The Valentime's Concert itself was quite scary la, but it's only 100+ ppl, imagine playing in front of whole school. =X At least we didn't make some super obvious mistake. =)


I want a new dual-core/quad-core intel processor!!! C4d is taking super super long to render. =\

260/301...

261/301...

262/301...

Bleah, if not for my super slow comp I'd be fast asleep dreaming right now instead of blogging. =

Pen And Paper.


Taken by me and Lenson. =) Lenson's version nicer though. Haha, and that's Koon Tat's Geography notes if I'm not wrong.

Canon In D.







No that's not me in the video. Haha, but I'm learning that for Vip. So hard right? I think I'm just going to play rhythm and let the rest play melody. =)



Blarh, haven't blogged in a long time. Npcc on Friday was quite slack, cause very few people came...but still learned lots. =D Cell group after that was quite ok too. Haha, slowly getting to know all the members in my new cell.



Went out with Lenson on Saturday to find the scores for Canon in D. Bleah, we spent like one hour trying to find at the Yamaha shop and when we finally asked the salesperson, she couldn't find either. =/ Walked to Bras Basah to find more scores. Saw the Hello Kitty Guitar at Swee Lee!!!! HELLO KITTY GUITAR IN SINGAPORE!!



Ok lar, I'm not really crazy over hello kitty or whatever. Just that it's like super cheap for a fender electric, only $399. Compared to the rest of the $1999-$18000 fenders in the shop. But then again, after much careful consideration I've decided playing a pink/black hello kitty guitar would be really...abnormal.

Abnormal.



Anyways, met Mu Chen at Raffles City before walking to Esplanade. I was like a "bright lampost" there. =P



And I realised the Library at Esplanade is awesome! There's this entire section devoted to scores and all that music stuff. And there's this shelf with chord books from various bands. I found Switchfoot and Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pink Floyd and millions of other books with the chords on how to play their songs!! But I couldn't borrow a single one cause I'm not a premium member. =\



Couldn't find any Canon in D scores. Horrible. I think Music Theory is beginning to look like some weird form of maths. Especially those super hard pieces with millions of notes crammed into the bars in weird positions and all the bars lined up uniformly with small notes and weird signs everywhere. Horrible.



Went for Church on Sunday. Message was on how a Christian will almost definitely "backslide" or something. Something related to that la...couldn't really understand cause of the multitude of profound and mindblowing words used. Which I also coincidentally forgot. Blarh.



Went shopping with my sister at j8 cause we had an hour to kill before guitar practice. Eh, we wanted to buy matching shirts for Chinese New Year, but ended up buying totally different ones instead. Bought a nice folder to keep paper, sister's birthday present, father's birthday present, and other random stuff.



Guitar practice was ok, haven't played an electric in 3months. So my fingers were all painful from pressing those hard tiny steel strings. But still, quite ok la, except I realised my fingers had this weird blue color, probably from small pieces of rust on the string. =/



Heh, finally uploaded pictures from my horrible blurry 2megapixel 6years old camera.

=D

Muscle Cramp.

Woke up this morning a horrible pain in my left tricep. Couldn't extend or contract my left arm completely at all.

Blarh, so I spent the rest of the day walking around being a right handed person. Kind of irritating not being able to contract your left arm. Hurts like mad whenever I try though. Like a muscle cramp or something.

=( Hasn't 'healed' yet. =(

Ah wells, learned logarithms during A maths today. Logarithms are easy!! Of course, I only did basic sums only. I'll probably be killing my brain cells trying to do logarithms in a few days time. =)

Yay! Playing with a capo's so much fun! Now I can play practically any song provided I can find the chords. =D Unless it's those impossible to play ones with drop d tuning and all that other weird stuff.

I'm too lazy to blog. =P

Sunburnt.

Eh, my skin on my forehead is like peeling off la. Then you can literally peel off bits of your burnt skin and see new skin underneath.

Itches like hell, but cool! First time I got sunburn! Looks like I got skin disease or something. =)

New corps officers at church today. Eh I remember him from somewhere in my distant past, and I remember Timothy a bit. And I saw Darren Chin today! =) Haven't seen him since last year. Haha, then I went for lunch with family and three others from gracehaven. Cool! All of a sudden I have like 50+ "brothers" and "sisters" whom I don't even know their names. Downside is they all know me as Uncle Bee's son. Blarh.

Went to j8 library for a while. Met Fabian there reading some League of superhero comics. He had like 4 books next to him and was slowly reading them? Bleah, and the comics weren't even Marvel or DC. Hee.

Went to Thompson Plaza after that to find guitar stuff from the Yahama Music school. Saw Bryan there studying with his friends. Heh, saw Fabian at j8 and Bryan at Thompson. Ironic. Anyways, bought a new tuner, spare strings, and capo. =D

Heh, Yay finally have a capo. And the new tuner's automatic. =P

OBS.

Hee! Yay I'm back after 5 days of torturefun.

118 unread mail in inbox.
9 smses when I turned on my handphone.
Messy room. Unpacked bag. And homework.

Blee. I shall complete all this tomorrow!! =D

Anyways, OBS was FUN! The best camp I've been to by far. And it wasn't as tiring as I expected.

Haha, everyone will probably be either bored to death by my nonsensical ramblings or be unable to understand whatever weird language I am using. But who cares? =D


Day1: Heeheehee. I thought I would be joining people from other classes cause I was last in class. But I didn't! =P Went to Junko with Lenson, Hui Joo, View Meng, Ivan, Yi Peng, Lionel, Kenneth, Wei Ting, Chuan Hui, Fiona, Xue Ee, Wendy, Wan Ting, Heather, and Shi Hui. And our instructor was Johnathon. =D

Day 1 was mostly team bonding games like the trust fall and all that stuff. Field Cooking and Tent Pitching too. We were scolded during day 1 abit for being slow and talkative. But then again, no push-ups, pt, drills, or shouting. More focus on theory and not practical.


Day2: Went rock climbing! Yay! Uber fun! But I spent so much energy on helping to belay others that my hands were all aching and I could only climb up to the top once. Gah. But still, Lenson almost made it to the top! And we beat Hillary! Haha, wanted to climb blindfolded with Lenson but then was too nua. Hiked to alpine rescue and our 2-3 star campsite with sea view. Blech. Horrible campsite. Worst I've ever been too cause it was muddy and dark with no light.


Day3: YAY KAYAKING! Was super fun at first. But then I felt uber tired especially when practising T-rescue and on the way back. Blarh, spent all my energy paddling to the right cause the current and wind was pushing us to the right. So we were like in a zig-zag position. But I think Kayaking is great! And I never learned to capsize/rescue before! Heehee! Let's have a class gathering to go kayaking at Changi one day! Went hiking to our 3star campsite after that. Better than the muddy one, but rocky. Woke up at 4am for watch duty. Tiring...but it beats having to change to npcc full u at 3am.


Day4: Land expedition was like the most "high" part in our watch. Cause by day4 we were all excited at the prospect of returning home? Trekked about 7k+ in all. Went to a quarry to swim! Wah, Quarry swimming is fun! Cause the water is 300+metres deep and it's rainwater. But it's kind of scary cause there's a 90% chance someone died/drowned in that quarry before? And we were swimming in that quarry. Haha but anyways, we had to make a raft and paddle to the center of the lake. I have absolutely no experience in making a raft lah, unless you count watching an instructor make one 4years back. But anyways, I think the raft was good enough. Heh, not as good as scouts lar, but at least we survived. =)

And we were the only group to make it to the circle of life. =)


Day5: Mostly packing up, area cleaning, all that boring stuff. Haha, went for lunch/dinner with 3integ ppl. I think it's almost worth it going for a camp just to experience the feeling of coming back and enjoying nice hot water, nice tv, computer, everything lar. Haha, me and Koon Tat waved at all the security cameras around Hougang Mall. I think we must have look weird. But the security guy must be so bored staring at the screen all the time. So at least he got someone to wave to. =)


Rushed home to bathe after that, went for cell almost immeadiately after. Cells shuffled today. =( No more Geelinuanua. =( But anyways, met up with new cell members. =)

Went for supper with Dad after that. Hee, yay finally got nice food to eat! Eating maggie mee and canned food gets boring after awhile. Reached home at around 11.40. =\
