title less entry..

2006-09-23T20:02:00.000-07:00

last few days have been very tiring.. however i enjoyed every moment of it.. havent been blogging too because i didnt had the time to come online..

went to work on wednesday, from 9pm to 4am.. haha.. simple but yet difficult job.. simple because it has very specific instructions to follow.. difficult because i had to stand for the whole 7 HOURS!!!! but it was really fun( was working as security at zouk :) ) than the following day, i went for a chalet, it was to celebrate my parent's 31th wedding anniversary and my sis's birthday.. haha.. so had only 4 hours of sleep.. and again, i slept for only 4 hours.. haha, we stayed up playing cards.. so with only 8 hours of sleep (or should i say nap?) for 2 days, i was obviously stoning through the day, feeling so light as i walk.. haha.. than comes the celebration when we had alot of fun ( smashing my sis's face with whipped cream and pouring water over her ) than it was mahjong.. we played till my sis actually fell asleep while the game was on.. haha.. we decided to stop playing at 3 and that was how my day ended yesterday.. so as expected, recuperating day.. just relaxing and doing nothing.. haha.. hmm.. that's all for what has happened during the last few days.. got to go for dinner.. might blog again later.. ciao..

FUCKED UP FEELING...!!

2006-09-18T23:40:00.000-07:00

hmm... im feeling REALLY REALLY fucked up now.. dont ask me why cause i myself wouldnt know the answer.. its just a feeling that's stirring inside.. its a feeling when u know u want something deep down.. but u just cant express it.. i dont even know what im saying here too, im just venting my anger and sharing how i feel with everyone on my blog... maybe its just the tiredness i feel from late nights and trainings.. hopefully it is, hate this feeling, get away soon...!

feeling better..

2006-09-12T02:07:00.000-07:00

yup... im feeling slightly better today.. after seeing grand dad after his operation.. he was half awake when i visited him, i guess he was still under the influence of the anaesthesia.. hopefully when i visit him tomorrow, he'll be fine.. :) zong xing came along to visit grand dad too.. thanks zong xing.. after that, we headed to gardens for supper at cafe cartel.. than after that we went to liquid kitchen to chill and play some pool...will blog more tomorrow.. kinda tired today... good night.. :) sleep well everyone..

back after a very very long time...

2006-09-10T22:59:00.000-07:00

hi everyone... hopefully u guys are glad to see me in action, im sure glad to be back blogging, which means i have alot of time to spare, that's why im doing it.. anyway.. so let me talk abt my life for the past few months.. it has been rather the same... nothing much.. its still the same old darren, with maybe alittle change to the hairstyle( once again) and size (some said i've slimmed down). so anyway i've just ended my end semester exam (if that is what they call it), and im now on holidays... till i think oct 16th.. but during this holidays, i'll try to find a job..( havent done that before). so anyway things have been happening recently.. and im kinda down.. grand dad's going for an operation tomorrow.. to remove some tumour in his colon, and they suspect that its cancer.. WHAT THE FUCK.. i dont know what is happening cause everyone has been trying to keep something from everyone, im damn frustrated!!! than i heard that the fucking stupid doctor told grand dad that they'll be removing the "cancer" tomorrow.. WHAT A FUCKING STUPID SON OF HIS MOTHER!!! we wanted to keep the thing from him by saying that it is only a growth... anyway all the scoldings wont help the situation... prayers would... so please, pray for my grand dad? thank u...

back from training..

2006-04-29T01:34:00.000-07:00

alright.. so it has been long since i've blogged an entry, haha.. cz there's some problem apparently.. i have entries that i have done but i am unable to post it cz i dn seem to be able to republish my blog.. haha.. anyway i just came back from school training and boy was it tiring.. haha.. however, it was fun training as a team again for the first time since school reopened.. so we did some jogging, push ups, sit ups and ball skills.. had dinner at the 'kopitiam' at the youth park before heading home.. hopefully as we continue to train this way, i'd be able to attain the body that i want, haha..
past few days have been very tiring.. cz i had to readjust to the new lifestyle of slping early and waking up even earlier, haha.. it is the end of the first week since school reopened and im glad that i am somewhat adapting to the new 'lifestyle' real fast.. hopefully after may day(public holiday), i'll be able to feel comfortable with my new time table..

its been a long time...

2006-04-20T14:44:00.000-07:00

So.. it has been a very very long time since i have blogged.. haha.. well.. nothing much have happened during te last few days.. but yesterday was the happiest day of my holidays.. i went shopping..! haha.. ok.. i guess that's not the normal reaction u'd get from a guy but shopping's really fun.. haha.. anyway yea.. got quite a number of stuffs for school since school's reopening this monday.. :( now.. im hoping that my holidays would be longer, haha.. sometimes i dn really understand myself cz one moment i wish for school to start and the next, im hoping that it doesnt start at all.. haha..

had fun today..

2006-04-17T00:49:00.000-07:00

today was indeed very satisfying.. as far as i was concerned cz it has been quite sometime since my cousins and i met up for a movie, though it wasnt the usual few( lacking of a few today), i enjoyed myself alot, thanks for the day..!!! haha.. melinda, bryan, faith and i went to catch a movie at GV marina, haha.. BLACK NIGHT!!! it was quite scary.. but as the show went on, it was getting less scary.. this show is actually made up of three short ghost films from hong kong, japan and thailand.. faith was the one who scared me the most.. with her scream, and why does it scares me? she always sounds when the ghost tends to make a move too.. haha.. at such precise timing always, it irritates me.. haha.. but im far better than bryan, who was a tree for the day for the koala, melinda who clinged onto him from the starting of the show to the end.. haha.. leaving him space enough to only breathe, haha.. than after that, dad came to fetch us and we went for dinner together.. hehe.. hopefully we'll be able to have more of such outings, haha..

the real meaning of cute... haha..

2006-04-15T23:02:00.000-07:00

so i was feeling bored a moment ago, so i picked up the dictionary and checked the meaning for the word cute.. haha, guess what it means.. it has two meanings to it.. 1st is attractive; pretty.. 2nd clever; cunning.. haha.. dn ask me why i checked this word out.. it was random.. anyway just came back from dinner and browsing at the night market that has been there for close to 3 weeks.. haha.. to think they still have business.. anyway i think its going to end real soon cause some of the stalls have stop doing business.. anyway im turning in soon.. having church tml...

day to celebrate...

2006-04-15T01:17:00.000-07:00

alright.. i was in church today before heading down to marina square for lunch with my grandparents, aunty rose and mum.. after that went shopping, wt i thought of to be an uneventful day changed completely.. i walked into ripcurl not planning of getting anything, but when i saw this shoes that i wanted and when i asked my mum casually, i was expecting a different answer altogether, she said if u want it, u may get it.. i was overjoyed.. seriously.. cz usually its after persuasion that mum would give in to me.. but she surprised me today, and that really made my day, haha.. after that went grocery shopping and had dinner at haig rd hawker centre at one of the makan places suria recommended the other day.. it was beef steak, haha.. im kinda tired from a whole day of activities.. will blog soon..

boring life...

2006-04-10T14:16:00.000-07:00

ok... so i have not been blogging for 3 days now, haha.. dont really find anything to talk about anymore.. life is beginning to get that boring, believe it or not, haha.. anyway the rain nowadays is getting on my nerves, if i had one thing to curse about for the past three days, it would definitely be the rain.. unless im lazing at home enjoying the cool breeze through the window, which i wasnt cause who stays home during the weekends..? sadly, i did, for most of the time.. haha.. anyway before the weekends, it was so inconvenient to move from one place to another, u have to waste time waiting for the rain to stop before u can start moving to your next destination, gosh.. hope the rain would stop coming down soon.. miss the sun so so much, haha.. anyway for the past three days, i didnt do much, was at home the whole day on friday, saturday, went out for dinner in the evening.. went to church on sunday.. thought that i was able to go on a shooping spree with mum but she didnt like the crowd so she suggested that we shop earlier in the day when there are not many people, haha.. as long as she's with me, im fine with anything, haha!! alright, so im here today in the afternoon, i dont really blog in the afternoon as most of you would be able to realise from my previous entries.. this goes to show that i m really really really really bored at home.. there isnt anything to do.. thank God im having life saving, though i hope that waterpolo training would start soon.. at least there's something for me to look forward to today.. the sucky part is that i have to let go of dinner with my mum tonight cz i have trainings, i dn understand why i have to be so free on one day and super packed the next, so much so that i wont be able to go for one of the activity... two words.. LIFE SUCKS... my apologies for ending off so negatively... anyway i think i should put up a wishlist real soon cz my birthday is coming.. haha.. dont worry guys, the items will come with a price tag...

expect the unexpected..

2006-04-05T22:33:00.000-07:00

so as the title suggests, half of the events that happened to me today was plan at the eleventh hour.. haha.. it was gym in the morning when i found out that we cant work in and out of toa payoh pool freely anymore, they have this lock where u have to scan this card to unlock it, it'll cost $30.. but hopefully we( randall and i) would be able to get alternatives, hehe.. so than after that *i accompanied randall to town to pass something to hazel for joyce, then we went home after that, i think that was the shortest time i have spent in orchard, haha.. than after that i woke up after taking an afternoon nap(cause i slpt at 5.30 and work up at 7 this morn) and headed to school for life saving, had some talk about our team's budget for the year with kelvin and mr gopi before heading down to the pool to find that there was only 1 person waiting, when we called daryl, the person in charge, he said he was not going to be around for the week, however, he has asked someone to oversee us while he is away, but kelvin and i didt want to because we were being neglected the week before because he asked someone to take over him cause he wasnt free as well.. *so we decided to head for town for dinner, settled down for yaki yuki buffet at cineleisure because initially we wanted to have sushi buffet but suki sushi dont offer dinner buffet.. its a nice place to chill with ur friends, good ambience, nice food.. haha.. than after dinner, *we went for an hour of xbox before heading home.. well, it was quite a fulfilling day cause tml i'll be home the whole day.. haha..

2006-04-04T23:49:00.000-07:00

i didnt blog yesterday because i wasnt in the mood for it, wasnt feeling quite well, so people who were waiting for an entry, i apologise( like as if my blog is being read by thousands of people) haha..

today today.. what can i say about my today..? did i waste the 24 hours that God has given me? i made use of only 3-4 hours that God has given me.. :( other times was spent sleeping, and in front of the labtop.. i went to amkss today to help with the secondary one sectionals.. perhaps that was the only meaningful deed i have done for the past week.. haha.. finally, i'll be starting training with randall tomorrow after a long time of persuading, haha.. both of us have been feeling lazy to wake up early in the morning for gym, haha.. but we both agreed that we'll be going to toa payoh tomorrow for gym, haha.. hopefully it'll be meaningful..
so i have just chosen the IS module that i will be taking for year two.. for the duration 1 which is the 1st half of the year i think, i'll be taking safety at work, haha.. it sounds like something real dry.. but at the same time slack too, haha.. so its fine with me, hehe.. for duration two, i'll be doing french, haha.. i have been wanting to learn french for quite sometime now, so since i can fit it into my cirriculum, y not? haha.. killing two birds with 1 stone, hehe.. hopefully i'll benefit alot from it.. anyway i guess that's the end of my day today..

boring day!!!!

2006-04-02T14:43:00.000-07:00

hmm.. today was a boring day besides choir practice in church, haha.. woke up kinda early this morning with constipation.. what's worse is that just before i left the house, i felt like i needed to relieve myself.......badly, haha.. but i was running late, so i didnt in the end.. so as some of u can guess what happens after that, i was having stomach cramps as and when they feel like coming, haha.. but thank God that during church and wherever i went after that, i didnt experience any pain.. that's the power of prayer i guess.. haha, anyway lost in a bet with melinda and melissa, the stake... who's the winner of campus superstar.. haha, so u guys would be able to guess who we bet on, haha.. so its going to be pepper lunch or anything that u girls want k? anything affordable la.. that's means i dn have to go to the kitchen to do the dishes after meal that kind? haha.. holidays are starting to be numbered.. hmm.. all of a sudden, i dn feel like going back to school.. haha, strange me.. ignore.. haha.. that's abt all today..

thanks for the company, YAFers..

2006-04-02T01:30:00.000-08:00

hi guys, sorry to be posting my entry for the day so late in the night.. i just came back, from church cum some after church activities with my church friends.. and boy did i enjoy my night tonight.. haha.. i was at church for yaf(young adults fellowship) at 4.30pm, than after that, we went for dinner at one of the hot pot steamboat restaurant at....... liang seah st? haha.. i think so, im not very sure, it was my first time trying 'mala' steamboat, and i can say its not as scary as it looks, haha.. just that its really irritating that as ur enjoying a piece of meat, u have to get rid of the pepper seeds thats on it, haha.. after that, i dont know whether it was planned for or not, but everyone seems to be looking for an atm, so we walked over to bugis junction cause it has the nearest atm to where we were.. we headed back to the dessert stall nearby, but didnt seem to be able to find a place to sit, than we decided to take a walk down to TCC( the coffee connoisseur), but was treated with the same fate.. so we walked to shaw towers for starbucks.. and guess what??!!! they had NO ICE!!! believe or not, STARBUCKS HAD NO ICE!! haha.. we sat around outside in disbelief, than we came to a conlusion that it was the blackout that marks the start to all this ridiculous happenings.. haha.. strange but convincing, haha.. without desserts that we initially planned for, we head for our separate ways.. :(
well.. it was an interesting day for me, 1st time in my life living in singapore for 19 years.. i couldnt get any drink to quench my thrist, haha..
got to go slp now.. have to wake up for church tml..

being a bad boy today...

2006-04-01T00:30:00.000-08:00

i was out the whole day today again.. as usual cz home is boring place without entertainment.. haha, at 3.30pm, i met kelvin at somerset, went to play an hour of xbox before wanting to head to school.. however, seeing that the sky remained dark at 5.30pm, we decided not to go for life saving because if it rains at Ngee Ann, it'll be a wasted trip, so in the end, we catched the movie V for Vendetta at Lido, where we met terrence and his girlfriend.. than we headed to far east plaza to fix my belt and to have chicken rice for dinner, when we were having dinner, we saw jason and his friend, whose name i forgotten, sorry mate.. haha.. such coincidence i must say..
im thinking about going for Young Adult Fellowship tomorrow in church, but the devil in me is tepmting me to say no.. what shd i do? i guess i shall just PRAY ABOUT IT!! haha.. a common phrase i use.. hehe.. but i guess most likely, i'll be attending it because i have given someone my word and besides i have been missing a number of meetings or shd i say all but the first.. hehe.. anyway i guess that's about all for today..

a semi fun day...

2006-03-31T00:05:00.000-08:00

today's activity was packed to the brim.. woke up at 8.30 to go for a meeting regarding budgeting at 9.15am.. we didnt know nuts about budget and the system that they were using, but the phrase 'practice makes perfect' really works.. after a few trys on the labtop, we were able to get the budget moving.. there were some hicups on the way, but we were able to resolve it in no time.. so after the meeting, kelvin and i headed to town for a movie, initially, i didnt want to catch the movie because i'll be watching tml lter today too.. so thought of saving some money.. but somethings happen, and he convinced me in some way to watch it with him while he waited for his friend for dinner.. we caught the movie ultraviolet.. it was ok.. with a fair bit of action and touching scenes here and there.. i'll be catching ice age 2 later today, hopefully the show would be nice and funny..haha..that's abt all..

blogging's becoming fun..

2006-03-29T18:53:00.000-08:00

As u people can see, i have changed my blogskin.. haha.. its just coincidental that i chose a green blogskin, not because of some amksian kinda thing.. haha.. i do miss my secondary school.. but not so much of the uniform, haha.. it took me quite long to come across this blogskin, was searching since yesterday.. but could not find a suitable one.. otherwise my blog would look ordinary... haha.. didnt slp in the aftnoon today (something i have been doing for the past few aftnoons), haha.. hopefully i'll be able to stay awake to catch lyon play against ac milan.. not the best of matches i want to watch, but at least there's something, so im not going to complain, hehe.. wanted very much to watch yesterday's match between arsenal and juventus.. i dn support juventus, but i hate arsenal to the core.. so that was y i wanted to watch the match.. yesterday's win i guess its just coincidental for them.. if there were playing an 11-11 man game, they would have lost for sure.. im sure juve would get the goals back and score even more.. we shall see.. haha..
anyway, that's all from me for now..
might be back to blog even more in the evening..

the day to look forward to every week..

2006-03-28T23:17:00.000-08:00

i went to apply for relief teaching today at Ang Mo Kio Secondary School.. together with Zong Xing.. initially, we wanted to apply for relief teaching at our primary school too (Serangoon Gardens South School), but we were turned down at the gate by an intercom!!!! can u believe it??!! they wont even let us in.. after being indirectly rejected at the GATE, we headed to amkss, where we were at least allowed to meet the clerk of the school to put our names with them, in case they need a relief teacher, that was definitely alot more consoling.. haha.. than we had lunch in school at our favorite stall.. before zx had to leave for bible study and me for junior band sectionals.. had so much fun with my juniors man.. though it was very hot outside.. i had alot of fun because as i was teaching some of the juniors fingerings and closing the keys properly, it reminded me of the time when i was the leader of the band.. it'll definitely be the day i look forward to every week.. haha..

monday blues...NOT!!!

2006-03-28T00:57:00.000-08:00

haha.. so much for anticipating last night about what was going to happen in life saving today.. it was so boring with just kelvin and me being taught by this guy called leo.. i think.. haha.. anyway it was sooo boring.. but because of the ultimate goal i want to acheive, i think i'll endure the boredom.. now, i dread going for it on fri again, haha.. im sure kelvin's feeling the same way too.. however, its all not just boredom today, after life saving, went to adam's road food centre for dinner, had prawn noodles and wow... it tastes as nice as before, haha.. had satay too.. so much for training so 'hard', haha.. so i'll be going back to secondary school with zong xing tomorrow to inform the school that if they require any relief teachers, we have been approved by MOE to do so.. haha.. i wonder what awaits me tml.. will keep u guys update..

Boring Sunday..

2006-03-26T23:57:00.000-08:00

hmm.. today was probably the most boring sunday of my life.. with no activities after church cz my parents have to attend some funeral, and my cousins abandoning me.. i was home at a record breaking time of 1.45pm!!! haha.. stayed at home, in front of the labtop and tv.. till i fell asleep at ard 4 sth.. haha.. and was awaken by my dad at abt 10.10 for dinner.. they too fell aslp after coming back.. haha.. so i had dipper(dinner + supper) today..
tml will be the start of some lifeguard training in school.. ultimate goal would be to work during hols for extra cash.. but i guess i can only work next hols cz there's only abt a month left before school reopens, unless i work on weekends, haha.. so unlike me.. anyway, will update more on the training tml, till then.. cya..

this was what happened earlier in the day..

2006-03-26T00:35:00.000-08:00

24th march
i went to Randy's house at ard 10pm.. to chit chat and play some games.. to catch up with old times generally, haha..

wee hours in the morn of 25th march..
was still at Randy's place, waiting for those who were playing mahjong to complete their last round before going for supper.. their last round ended at abt 4am in the morn, after which we slacked a little at Randy's room before heading out to the roti prata stall at yio chu kang rd.. we had to be transported twice because the MPV could not come out of the house and that the only available car was the normal saloon.. and because there were 10 of us, Randy had to go to and fro twice to transport us, haha.. we had supper till 6, 6.30am? after which Randy sent those who were going home.. and later fetched those who were returning to his house..

6.30am on 25th march..
i stepped in the house 1 second too late.. sis told me that mum had came into the room and asked whether i came back.. so in order to make my mum happy, i sacrificed my sleep and followed them for breakfast.. y were they up so early in the morn was because sis had to open her centre's gates at 7am.. after breakfast, we went back home when mum asked me to take a nap knowing that i slept little the night before..but in actual fact, i didnt sleep a wink..
at 10am, i woke up to get ready to go for the section outing at sentosa.. sentosa was really fun, with the usual dose of the sand, sea, frisbee and volleyball.. we tried the chair lift and luge too.. the chair lift was kinda scary cz of my fear of heights.. luge was filled with downhill excitements.. do try it if u have not done so.. after that, we went to the musical fountain, to watch the show, it was an eye opener as it was the 1st time i was at the musical fountain..

this is abt all i did for the last two days.. :)

WOOHOO!!!!

it is yet another boring day..

2006-03-23T02:15:00.000-08:00

alright.. so it was another whole day home for me.. being a prisoner to my home.. with the company of the tv and labtop.. hehe, not very much a prisoner actually.. dread blogging now because there arent many things to say about myself nowadays.. haha.. nothing much has happened in my life recently other than the band camp and concert..
however, i'll be out tml.. going to back Ngee Ann to sign some documents.. :) after which, no plans as yet, haha..
part of me actually wants to start training( nat. youth), but part of me still wants to continue slacking but as my mind contradicts itself, time is ticking away.. gosh..guess i have to make up my mind real soon, haha.. its the waking up in the wee hours (7am) in the morn thats hindering me actually, alright.. its not so early after all but for someone who has not been waking up that early for months.. its tough.. but i guess this takes discipline.. alright..i've made up my mind, i'll start training next week!!

2006-03-21T00:59:00.000-08:00

last week was 1 hell of a week.. busy but very fun.. had band camp from thursday till saturday following a concert at the esplanade on sunday.. had plenty of fun with members the band from thailand,wat suthiwararam and amkss.. so they left yesterday evening, at about 8pm.. on sunday after concert.. we 'supposedly' exchanged gifts, i had nothing for them, but every section member of wat suthi had a gift each for everyone of us, not sure about the rest of the clarinet section, but i was indeed touched by it.. we got for them a volleyball before they left for home cz when we were at sentosa, we realised how much they love playing that sport.. but i wonder if they'll be using that ball cz we wrote our names for remembrance on the ball..haha..
anyway results will be out on friday.. gosh.. hopefully i dn have to repeat any module man.. im feeling the pressure right now..

15th day of the holidays...

hi people, im back to blog again..was at band camp in preparation for the concert at the esplanade which ended yesterday (sadly). it was a joint concert with Wat Suthiwararam school and Ang Mo Kio secondary school. fun was definitely the word to describe the feelings of everyone during the band camp and on the concert itself.. i definitely enjoyed myself with the company of the band members of both schools though there was always communication breakdowns here and there..but nevertheless we were able to get the message across with the help of the hands,haha..i'll be missing the fun that we had in sentosa and in school..at the concert yesterday..both band played well despite of some minor blunders here and there, but the climax was not until the last song which was the encore when one of the thai percussionist stood up and dance..that brought cheers from the crowd and lifted the spirit of the players..the song ended and everyone thought that was the end of the concert, amkss band members thought so too..and suddenly out of nowhere comes the sound of the drumset that kicked off another song..that was the song that made everyone on the stage dance, though i guess that's one of their folk songs, we enjoyed moving our body to the rhythm.. i cant describe the feeling i had on the stage when we had the combined band..it was the best feeling i had on the stage of the many stages i have been on,haha..
well..no matter how much fun we had, we know that all good things have to come to an end..they'll be flying off 8pm this evening, they'll be greatly missed by us the the fun and entertaining people,haha..
after the week of excitement, im now home again in front of the laptop,lazing around and feeling bored again..haha..

6th day of the holidays..

2006-03-11T08:12:00.000-08:00

today has been an eventful day for me i have to say...in terms of packing it to the maximum, i achieved it!! haha..was in Ang Mo Kio Secondary for fund fiesta..it was quite a job well done but with plenty of rooms for improvement, i think silver jubilee was a better project cz there were more activities and fun going on..the atmosphere just wasnt there today..however i did enjoy myself meeting friends i have not met for more than a year :)
than Mr Tan asked if the alumnis of the clarinet section was able to play along with the band for the whole repertoire..most of them were alright with it bcz they already knew the pieces that we'll be playing in the concert..except me, would love to be able to perform with them for all the songs but if need be, i might have to give up some pieces(hope i wont have to do that) :) i'll practice real hard for the whole of next week..
after band, i went for a movie with jaron...Big momma house 2, im telling u, that's the show to catch this weekend man,haha..the show is what i call a true comedy man...jaron almost got choked on popcorns...while laughing, that would be the 1st ever case to happen i guess, haha...and after the movie, i was privileged enough to have his parents send me home... :)
told u a great deal of events happened to me today didnt i? haha..

5th day of the holidays..

2006-03-11T01:41:00.000-08:00

hi...i just came back home, from a barbeque that one of mum's friend organised...wasnt the best of bbqs that i would like to attend but nevertheless did enjoy myself still bcz i was able to satisfy my craving for chicken wings,haha..earlier on i went back to school for band..and i was in for another change, from 1st clar to 3rd clar..looks like i have to practice for another part again :( now i know how it feels when ur not given the piority in some case, the feeling can be kinda sucky,haha...but i reminded myself once again that it was all in the name of fun and company of the members, thus i changed my point of view and continued playing with the band..well i guess that no matter what u might go through in life, as long as u face it with the right attitude, im sure you'll be able to stay happy..sounds like its from another philosopy class, haha..enough abt philosopies and back to my life today..ok...so now im sitting here in front of the monitor, thinking of whether i should stay for the band camp or not.. im sure it'll be fun if i stay but i'll miss my bed for 4 days..haha, im too tired now to make any decisions, i'd just have to decide it tml...till then...cya...

4th day of the holidays...

2006-03-10T00:46:00.000-08:00

3rd day of the holidays..

2006-03-08T22:58:00.000-08:00

im feeling the worst right now...having practiced the clarinet for hours in school and at home narrows down to merely two songs with the band,two short and sweet songs..hmm...i feel like a complete idiot spending so much time in band and at the end of the day perform two songs,haha...is it all worth it? my time spent practising...? gosh..the thought of it just makes me wana kill someone..

2nd day of the holiday...

2006-03-08T01:40:00.000-08:00

second day of the school hols already...haha, im beginning to have fun in band.. have been going back to amkss for band pracs and sectionals bcz i feel that if i want to perform with the band, i have to be at my best condition(playing skills that is!) being back in secondary school really reminds me of my days there...those days where afew of us would be along the corridor with our instruments, having fun playing them..those were the days i have to say...and im thankful that i cherished all of them.. i wonder how would it be after the concert, whether i'd still be able to have so much fun with the current band members..

these feelings above makes me want to treasure every moment in my life more...though i have been treasuring them, i feel that its still not enough...seriously...i dont think im happy in poly because besides my polo mates and afew of my classmates, i feel that LIFE for me in poly SUCKS BIG TIME!! the feeling of not able to communicate well with them sucks, the feeling that some of them are all books but no play...sucks even more...to think that though im always jovial, there's also this side of me..i have to say that this is life...and everyone has to go through the same thing in one stage of their life or another...

1st day of the holidays..

2006-03-07T02:23:00.000-08:00

i cant believe it...i used to like the holidays alot..but i dont now, i am actually feeling bored on the 1st day...haha...no way...this cant be happening...

anyway i went to school today for a team meeting with mr gopi...he made me secretary!!! i know nuts about computer other than surfing the net, haha...and still he made me the secretary...after meeting, i had dinner at scotts food centre together with melvyn and kelvin..where we had a great time laughing, laughing and laughing...haha...

i will be going back to ang mo kio secondary school for sectionals with the ever so powerful and fun loving clarinet section of ang mo kio secondary...haha, truely that's where i really belong, all the fun times and shit times were all from there...kinda miss the company and the bond people have with each other there...unlike in the polytechnics where friends are those hi & bye type, however they'll be the friends that u have fun with too(NAWP peeps ;) )
