A Desperate Liar

My brother's 'book of lies' seems to have reached its end... It has come to a point whereby even my parents find it hard to believe him... Haha... Well... I've never believed him in the first place... I tried... But it failed...

At times, my intuition tells me that my parents know... But they seem to 'force' themselves into believing whatever that is not true... I really don't know what to say... Haha...

Things To Be Happy About

1)NS body checkup done!
2)Saw Gimwei at the body checkup just when I wanna meet up with him... Haven't seen him for a year! So surprised to see each other...
3)Desmond is helping me to source for nice Euphonium solos...
4)Had a talk with Mr Ng today... He's helping me to source for the solo I wanna play :)
5)No more individual assignments!
6)Little nice gestures that make me smile
7)Get to have some time to 'nua' on Wednesday and Thursday


Things have been going smoothly these few weeks... I'm contented :)

Devastated

Desmond dropped me an sms... He can't get the scores for my Euphonium solo... :( What am I suppose to do?!!!! It's either the piece is too nice but I don't have the stamina to play or it is too easy that I find it boring...

I need to find nice Euphonium solo pieces... Time is running out... Hope Desmond provides me with solutions...

:)

Can't stop hearing his songs... It's becoming an obsession/addiction... So nice... so nice...

中孝介 - 路の途中

優しい風が ささやく唄に
目を閉じ 想い描くのは 
あなたの笑顔
寄り添って飛ぶ あの鳥のように
同じ速さで 歩いて行きたい人がいる
どこまでも
遠く続く 路の途中
いつまでも 貴方と微笑を交わし
雨が心 濡らす時は
互いに寄り添い 晴れる日を待とう
行き急ぐこと 疲れた夜は
心に積もったため息 あずけてほしい
まだ見ぬ明日を恐れるよりも
生き抜いた今日という日
そっと抱きしめよう
どこまでも
遠く続く 路の途中
いつまでも 貴方と微笑を交わし
暗い道に 迷うときは
肩寄せて 一緒に明かりを灯そう
未来さえ 失くすだろう
あなたを 失えば
その笑顔 守りたい
どんな時も ずっと…
遠く続く 路の途中
いつまでも 貴方と微笑を交わし
涙雨に 濡れる時は
貴方と二人で 太陽を迎えよう
生きてゆく 二人だけのこの路を

Touched

Was working on my report and my dad suddenly passed me a letter... Apparently, my dad went down to open the letterbox... It's a Christmas Card from Brenda! I'm seriously so touched by her kind gesture :) Brenda... Miss you so much!

Bangkok 20-23 Dec Trip

Time for some updates for Thailand... I'm glad I made it back in one piece...

Day 1

Alighted at BangKok and got onto the mini van... There were practically no queues in the airport... Process was seamless... I would have to thank the PAD supporters for dealing so much damage to the economy... Haha...



Journey was bumpy... travelling the expressway kinda reminds me of Taiwan... Stepped into Princess Pathumwan hotel... It was magnificent... My impression of the hotel leveraged when the counter guy/receptionist served us... He was like the embodiment of glam & famous... I don't know how to describe but he really looked like a star... I think that's the most good-looking male I've ever seen so far... Can't believe it's a Thai... I was sneaky enough to take a picture of him...







We proceeded for lunch at "Chine Club" to have some traditional Thai cuisine... The green curry and lemon grass tea was really yummy...





Headed for some "light" shopping at MBK shopping centre and met up with Timo cousin's family... Went for seafood at Chinatown and later a BIG BOWLFUL OF BIRDNEST!!!




Julian is so cute... was playing the brow thingy with him...



Day 2

Second day was a killer... I shopped like there's no tomorrow in Chatuchak... It's really a shopping heaven... For someone like me that's not into shopping... I must say that it is really the nicest place you can find... Really suitable for people like me that prefers comfy & price over brand... bought alot of nice cooling shirts... Over the 20 years, the number of times I've actually bought shirts for myself can be count in just one hand... Kinda pathetic eh...


This baby Chow Chow was taken at the animal section of Chatuchak... All the dogs looked SO adorable...

Results of 7 hours of crazy non-stop shopping... Tada! I arranged the clothes for some photo-taking while Timo was bathing... Sense of achievement eh...







Headed to Siam for dinner at Greyhound Cafe and shopped for Thai delicacies... Timo recommended me Gourmet Thai... Premium quality Thai delicacy... I'm sure you can see how much Fattim devoured the pack of assorted dried fruits I've brought for X'mas...







Fooling around with the giant Lollipop



As we pushed this cart around... People were looking at us... Timo felt so ashamed of it but I thought it's great... Should be proud of the stuff you get... Haha...



This is what I got for the people... S$135 worth of snacks... And that concludes Day 2...

Day 3

Headed for a full-body Thai massage at Healthland... The massage was awesome... I've always percieved massages as sleazy and dirty but I was wrong... Was really afraid even before the session started... I'm really sensitive to people touching me... The goosebumps and tickles I get whenever someone massages my back...

The entire massage lasted approximately 2 hours... The soft new age music playing, the dimly lit ambience and most importantly, I didnt feel the slightest ticklish-ness... Thought I was in nirvana for a moment...

The masseurs were professional... Was amazed by the knowledge and power of massage... How each areas of the entire body were dealt... It's really interesting... The massages were so "intricately" designed that even hands had differnet areas needed to be "pressed"... I was contemplating whether to tip the lady 100 or 200 baht... The second-half of the session made me tip 200 baht... She stepped, knee, pulled on the back area of my body... I felt so relieved from my backache with her cracking my bones... Shiok!





Headed to another restaurant... I really liked the design... Was really classy...



And this is where my sickness started to kick in... Felt like crap after that... Couldn't proceed to the floating flower market as I was dying... Took Panadol and continued to "tong" for another 6 hours with all the travelling at Pratunam until Timo said it was time to stop... He commented that my face looked pale... 2nd time in a month... I couldn't even take another step... Took the TutTut back hotel and I can't recall anything... Felt so sick... Lucky Timo took care of me or I couldn't have recovered this fast...

Day 4

I felt better... Couln't eat much... Swallowed medicine and did some last minute shopping... Felt happy to get back Singapore... After travelling a few Asian countries... Singapore is really still the best... and of course... I miss my friends! :)

Cyclo Path

The unofficial cycling event was fun even we didn't managed to finish the track... Gotta put my hands down to Xiao Ti & Bc for doing the shirt and goodie bag... That's so meticulous of them... :)

Haha

I think I'm really slow... I'm sure everyone had came across the word "untitled"... This word will definitely appear if you have pictures in your computer... I've always thought that this word was a term used for identifying pictures... THEN something happen today, I came across this word again and to my surprise... I felt enlightened! I just realise "untitled" was actually "UN" titled!!! GOSH! This is atrocious... I laughed at my stupidity upon realising it... So dumb! So dumb! So dumb!

And of course not forget about the fire extinguisher incident, the car incident, the restaurant incident, the sentosa tramp incident... I'm so dumb.. Can't stand it!

I WANT!!!!

When I saw this video, my focus was directed at the cardigan he wore! It's the exact same design, cutting and colour I've always thought a cardigan should look like... Tried to find the cardigan at town but to no avail... Seems like mission impossible... :(



And Kousuke Atari sings in a Shima Uta style which is a distinctive vocal style originated in the Okinawa islands of Southern Japan... Interesting...

Stress

I'm seriously very stress with projects now... Every year just gets tougher and tougher...

中孝介

Had Kousuke Atari's songs for quite sometime... Never really had the chance to hear it coz I've too many Japanese Songs in my iPod... Thanks to Cape No.7, I've learnt to appreciate his songs more... and I really like his voice! Some of the songs are really wonderful and the lyrics are so meaningful! Love it!

(I reckon the way to open this man's thoughts from the heart. That man, I want to kill him)

Plain Exhaustion

The past few days of exhaustion and lack of sleep have finally taken its effects... Woke up feeling abit doped... was 40 minutes late for IMC tutorial... After lesson ended, TT commented that my lips were "white" and that my complexion looked pale...

I was abit shocked coz my face/complexion had NEVER showed signs of sickness even if I'm ill... Continued another 2 hour tutorial on SMM... Felt forever... it was only 1pm by then... I still have 2 more lectures and work at night to go... but I tell myself I really can't take it anymore... I really need to rest...

Conclusion... I went home... felt like dying on the way... Guess I need more sleep so I can study for the test later... Zzzzz....

Butterfly Lovers

The entire piece suddenly made sense when the harpist explained her interpretation of the story of Butterfly Lovers... Every phase of the music tells a story... and it's really interesting coz you can really illustrate the scenes in your head while playing the music...

When the erhu player came in at figure 3... my hair stood up all of a sudden... The erhu represented Ying Tai's pain... it was REALLY REALLY sad... I was looking for the expression of other players and of course... trying to catch sight of any "goosebumps" in their arms... Haha...

Seriously, I've never played a band piece that made me so emotional before... Felt the pain of Ying Tai and Shan Bo... Really feel for the piece...

Am really exhausted from Saturday's 10 hours of practice and Sunday's 7 hours of practice... Cut my gum + stupid ulcers... Arghh... Luckily my lips didn't bleed from long hours of practice...

*Side note to Tim* I will never forget that Saturday night... Arghhh... Thanks eh...

Thursday, December 04, 2008

!@$%

I'm still bloody pissed with that bitch... but Tim, seeing you really make my day! If you know what I mean... LOL!

犯贱的究级体

After all this while, isn't that the outcome you've hoped for?
Just watched episode 9 of Skip Beat and I just realised something... the obstacle in between is myself...

I can now officially classify myself as 犯贱的究级体... Haha...

Irony

The thing about irony is that you aren't given the choice to choose things that you don't want to do...

Skip Beat!

Thanks to my secondary schoolmates, I got alot of chances interacting with different ranges of comics... Just name it, I may have read it before... I remembered reading Skip Beat! at the age of 16... I was so crazy about that comic at that time... One of the best shoujou-comics I've read... It depicts how a teenage girl had wasted 16 years of her life falling in love and at the same time, serving+taking care a childhood friend (aspiring celebrity) who had been using her all along... Back then, her world only revolved around that jerk...

One day, things started to change when the teenage girl found out that she was being used all this time... To many, some may just cry and question the heartless party... But in her case, it was totally different... She lost the feeling of being "love"; this had translate whatever that was left in her into "hate"... She vowed to take revenge on the jerk who had destroyed her life... To accomplish this, she had to beat that jerk in the scene of media...

The classic scene when the grudge inside her unleashed! WOOT! This was the scene where she found out she was being cheated...


Really love the female lead... Her feelings and thoughts are so well conveyed into words... Recently, I've got news from my friend that they made the comic into an anime... And of course, I've started watching it...

Well, the lead character often reminds me of myself... The part where she questions her own consciousness is so ME... The "grudges" or devil in her will constantly provide her with evil advices, and of course, there's also the angel warding off the bad advices given... Haha... So funny... Really love it...

I need to know what happened next... I stopped at book 9... Now it's book 19 and going!!! Maybe I should just buy and keep a collection of it...

...

"Hate" may turn out to be the word... I should retreat back to my isle of the damned...
