I have been on hiatus from blogging for quite some time ler. Time to update a little. Let's see. Well, i spent my June holidays watching One piece, studying and going out a little. Had bbq with clique as usual during holidays. Spent most of my time with jaclyn, jackson and sunglee studying. And finally, one piece.
Well, there hasn't been anything significant about my life till recently, when my dad's friend left his Maltese in Singapore as he has to return to Germany permanently. The initial idea was that we will adopt the Maltese. It was a really active and fun dog as compared to my Chihuahua. Well, i really loved it and wanted to keep. The reason was because i can feel for it. I feel the dog's feelings when his owner left him. I feel that he needed a home and it is something maybe i can provide. It has been a wonderful one week. I endured the nights when he got too noisy and also spent time to take him down for a walk so that he will be too tired to make noise at night. However, 2 days ago, my dad told me that 1 HDB flat can only have 1 pet dog, not too. The noise level the dog is creating is too high. Neighbours will complain and town council might come and find us. At that point in time, i kind of expect my dad and mom to give the dog away. I couldn't do anything after all. Yesterday, on my way to Eileen's house to disturb her, my mom called and spoke to me about the situation and told me that we really have to give it away and she has already found an owner who will love him. I teared silently in the bus while my mom continue to speak. Before the phone call ended, my mom asked if i wish that she give the dog away before i arrive home. I really wish to say no. But i couldn't say anything but ok. Saying anything else will cause my to really tear more. Haiz. On my way home that day, i did something i never did. I prayed. Well, being a free thinker, it is something actually i will not do. But i did, for the dog. I pray for his happiness and apologise for my lack of ability to keep him. Till now, i do miss him.
Well, that's the only event that happened recently. Ok, i got to go and finish watching one piece b4 i can focus on my preparation for A levels. A few more months, i got to bear with it.

Man, i wonder if i still have the energy for a long post. Let's see. This whole week seems to revolve alot around band. In fact, i spend my whole week to spend the last moments as a tpjcsw member.
Wednesday - 3 June 2009
Panorama is here. After the tiring rehearsals, we are all finally at Esplanade as a band to play for the audience. Man, i must say, though it wasn't exciting, but it was one of my best performance.
Ok, we reported early in the morning for a total of 3 rehearsals if i didn't remember wrongly. It was tiring but fun at the same time. Many of the members took pictures while some emoed at some corner, some played bored games, and some sit at 1 corner playing laptop (and that would be me:)). We had great fun till the real show, and we walked in for the opening of Panorama 2009. Our song, Machu Picchu, was played and according to Mr Handsome Chiang, he said we sounded much better than "that" day. Well, it is good since we will be performing our best to the audience. My Tuba and i merged into 1 entity and swayed to the musc as much as possible. It was a really touching performance as whn i played the songs, thoughts of leaving the band and that it is probably my last time playing the song and MAYBE the tuba. I do feel like crying somehow but Mr Chiang's emotional conducting brought me back to reality and i told myself that i should not think about anything else but a good performance, and so did i. I put all my heart and soul into it and i believe it was a wonderful one.
We then went to back stage and camwhored alot and walked around. Time flies, soon, it was finale. We went up on stage to play "Our Shared Dreams" with the choir. It was really good and once again, it touched me. I guess that is my last playing with the tuba for a long time. When we returned to TPJC, Ikhsan placed my tuba all the way in and i asked why is that so. He answered it was for convenience and asked if it truly matters. Haiz, well, he is right. It doesn't matter anymore. Time for me to step down and bid my tuba farewell for i might never get a chance to feel and play it ever again.
Thursday - 4 June 2009
Well, our cool Student conductor, Jonnehs, called me early in the morning to settle food with him. So jackson, jolene, idy, jonnehs and i spent our day preparing food for the BBQ. It was really fun when me and jolene start fighting over the chores and that jackson was there to guide us and teach us how to do it since he is very experienced. We then had dinner at Botak Jones and had a long chat about many stuffs. Religions, band, exco, this and that.
Friday - 5 June 2009
Well, it is the band's bbq. Went down to jonnehs place with jackson and kenny to deal with food. As usual, Aaron Tng forgot to bring Otah for the bbq. We then cabbed down t my house to collect it and then to pasir ris park and got off at the wrong place, which caused us to cover a horrible amount of distance before arriving at the pit. We then played poker, captain's ball and then finally BBQ. Nelson, Bao ling, Chang yong and yogi joined us too as Alumni. haha. Wonderful seniors.It was a really fun day. Thanks to wei xing for helping me out that day. AFter the bbq, cabbed home with jackson and nelson.
Well, band has taken my week, and soon, on tue, it will mark the closing of band in my life. Finally? Maybe not. I don't actually look forward to that day. Oh wait!! Maybe i do look forward leaving exco, but not the band, just like how Jonnehs wanted it.

I got like 45 minutes for me to blog before meeting yongping for dinner and movie.
I went for Final Fantasy: Distant World concert with Acasius. It was wonderful. The performance. I feel that Nobuo Uematsu is pretty scary. He composed like all the songs in the FF series. Wonderful man who brought music in the lives of many. The concert brought back many childhood memories when i played the final fantasy. Wonderful stories with incerdible artwork.
As for today, went to the library with christine to study. I did quite abit of stuffs, so shall reward myself with a movie later.

I realised something. I am seriously starting to lose something that i relied on for years. "Luck". Aw man. How can i lose it? It is time to learn to depend on myself instead of Luck. Well, let's just hope i don't lose all my luck. Just a little will be fine.
"Panorama" is coming soon. I actually aint that excited. The event i ever looked forward to was SYF 2009. Panorama is actually some thing that i don't really care much. Still, as a musician, i will put up my best show for my audience. Jiayou Aaron, my last performance officially as part of TPJCSW

I just spent some time looking through the pictures Jiamin posted on facebook and those in the tpjc photobucket. Man, how i enjoyed those days when we were preparing for SYF.

Crap, i have been sick since the end of SYF. Is there such a logic that i am so sick now because i used up my energy for SYF and borrowed some from the future? Man, if there is, i am so regretful since this is not a good time for a weak immunity system.
I haven't been able to do my work at all. Been coughing like nobody's business and my temperature has been fluctuating between 37.2-38. Still, at least i am still productive. Manage to settle the band t-shirt on Friday though i am sick. Proud of myself.
I am hoping to feel better tomorrow to start working, yet sick enough to get an MC from the doctor to skip NAPFA on Tuesday since i am totally not prepared and i really don't wish to go NS early. Maybe at least finish up my reading log and EMI since it will be gone through this week. The rest, wait till i fully recovered. Also, let's hope my NAPFA will be postponed to July so that i can train for my weak areas in June and finally obtained a silver for NAPFA.

I am utterly disgusted by the actions of him, a hypocrite. I am so disappointed with myself as i believed every word he said to me. I thought he helped me, but he didn't. I finally gathered enough courage to ask my friends if he helped me. "No" was the answer i received. Thanks for not treating me like a friend, just like how i would treat you in future.
It is a consolation to know many enjoyed our performance yesterday. Many audience felt that we deserved something better. Well, we are just the unlucky ones eh.

In case you are wondering why am i blogging now, i am at home because i am sick. haha..

Today was the last day i will ever step into a concert hall and tell the world proudly,"I AM HERE TO PLAY FOR SYF CENTRAL JUDGING FOR CONCERT BANDS". It was a good ending to my life as a player working towards SYF. I guess i have no regrets as i tried it 3 times. I told Kenny in the bus,"The next time we go for SYF, we shall be there to judge!"
Anyway, after a day of playing, TAMPINES JUNIOR COLLEGE SYMPHONIC WINDS ACHIEVED SILVER IN SYF 2009 CENTRAL JUDGING FOR JC BANDS. Well, wasn't what we wanted, but still, it was a good performance. I am not sad or anything, maybe it is due to the fact i was prepared for the award. The disappointment wasn't there as ET pointed out. Hence, i am feeling quite neutral actually.
Well, this ends my band life for 6 years. I don't know if i still want to continue playing. Marcus told me to go down for Phil Youths as he hoped that i won't stop playing a Tuba. Still considering.
Life in band is wonderful! Wei Xing was right. I would have regretted it if i ever decided to join shooting. Music is my passion. Shooting is just something i liked suddenly because it sounded cool.
I once told a friend, i am not attached to the band. Now, i take back my words. I do have wonderful companions to walk the journey with me. Jackson, Hansley, Jeck Ann, Gek Teng, the Excos, the year ones etc... These are people whom i got closer with these few weeks while preparing for this competition. I was never satisfied with what i had, and i don't know how lucky am i to have such companions. Now i do. I love you guys man. Haha. Thanks, TPJCSW. I will miss my days as a TPJCSW member like how i missed being in Crestwinds, or maybe much more.
