Vivo City.

Taken some super long time ago. If I'm not wrong the post was here.

Sick.

Blarh. Spent the last few days with a running nose and sore throat. =\

I think it's ironic. I sneezing whilst everyone around me is like sweating and suffering from the record temperatures in Singapore.

Went Home Team Academy again on Friday. Bleah. Training there like worse than at school. But then can leave class at 12.30. But then surrounded by all the pros and have to learn flag drill. And I reserve some more. =| Quite unfair to those in supporting contingent lor...

The stupid flag sheath cannot open one. =(

Anyways, went to compass for dinner with Hao Xiang and Chee Sheng. Then I was so tired and drowsy and feverish and whatever that I decided to go home instead of cell.

Went home, bathed, and slept about 12 hours till Saturday afternoon. Erh, was super tired that I spent almost the entire day sleeping and sneezing on and off till around 7. =S

Went out with family to Vivo City. Heehee, haven't been there in a long time. Walked around and went home at around 10.

Bleah, woke up late for Church cause we were all super tired and I was still sneezing. =( Ate lunch with family then went for Guitar practice alone. =\ But still very fun la. Guitar practice is fun! Learnt how to strum with extra upstrokes and how to play 6/8 rhythms. And I learned how to bar chord every note. =D I'm gonna go around barring every song I know now. Haha.

Chinese New Year.

Eh...New Year's Celebration on Friday was quite ok, although I missed the concert due to Service Learning. =X

But Service Learning itself was quite fun la. Interacting with old folks is fun! But I'm reminded of like 5years back when my mother used to organize activities for old folks at Central Corps. I remember giving out the parcels to the old folks! =D Then the intergenerational race thing was fun too! Although I didn't really reflect on that day or anything...sighs...

But anyways, went around with a senior citizen showing him the different stalls of our school. And he gave me 2 Chinese Calligraphy paintings. I'm too lazy to find a nice angle or compostion so...yar...
Quite nice right? =)

The opening concert for HI Idol was quite nice also. Haha, went home after that to change and meet the rest for Elaine's Birthday party.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELAINE! =D

Went to CityLink Mall with Koon Tat, Chee Hock, Nina, Wei Ting, Alvin and Xue Ee cause we were too poor to afford the movie tickets. Hahaha, but then Nina suddenly want to snatch my Koon Tat!! MINE!! HEEHEE. Quite weird la, me and Nina fighting over a guy. Maybe one day Koon Tat and Nina together? ):

Haha, walked around aimlessly through CityLink mall to Suntec though. By the time we reached Suntec I had to go off already. =X Then Shi Hui smsed to say we're meeting at 6.45 instead. =D So I could go walk around some more.

Heh! I saw the Hello Kitty Guitar again!! But nvm..I think I'd rather save a bit more and buy the $599 Squier Fender instead. (:

Went back to City Hall with Koon Tat after that. Had to go off early cause I was late already. =\

Went to J8, bought 5 different kinds of doritos, took a bus down to Church.

Hee, then Ben asked me to go find the Uncle and ask if he wanted anything from the Kopitiam. Then the uncle was like saying he was so touched by my offer. =)

Haha, friendship Friday! Quite ok la, Guan You leading also! =D And lots of food! =D

Went out with Family to Festive Market after that. Gosh, haven't been to Festive Market in 3years already. HEEHEE I know Koon Tat stays near there!!! =D And I saw the Cheers with this row of Hello Pandas on Display!! XD

Went for a haircut. Blee, only 2 weeks+ since my last haircut. But my father paid so... =)
Shopped for various CNY stuff, went back home, ate steamboat with family. =) Went out at around 11 to go countdown at Chinatown. Blarh, I think this year wasn't all that exciting lor, fireworks lasted only a few seconds. =X

Was about 2am by the time we reached home. =S

Went for Church today. Eh, lots of people didn't come cause it's the first day of CNY. Haha, but my family super enthu one right? =P

Went Marina Bay after lunch. Quite ok..haven't been to Marina Bay in a long time either. Hahas, walked around for a while, then went home cause all of us were dead tired for some strange reason. But when I reached home, I was energetic again. Heh.

Yay! Going cousin's house tomorrow. =)

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
