Commencement

Im glad some people love the songs that i put in my blog . Well , its usually a mixture of love songs , to some corny music . Thanks ...

Just came home from Orchard . It took my like 2 hours plus to get home ... u know why ? Because ... i took 162 on the wrong bus-stop , which goes the other direction . Well ... because i know that it'll loop at Suntec , then back to my house . But ... who knows , it turned to Shenton Way . So i alighted ... and crossed the road , which is like so far away ... then the bus-stop was crowded with the working people . It was like the peak hour ... everyone is heading home . So i took bus 162 there , and i sat on a seat that faces the majority , and it felt weird . The journey is long enough , and today , its even longer ...

Went to Orchard just now with Evan , Jwen , XueMin and Fairul . We were shopping ... then landed at some cafe , and i drank Belgium Chocolate Ice Blended , and it turned out to be coffee and trust me , it didnt have a bit taste of chocolate . I was so ... furious , so i left it there . Couldnt find Vitas at Borders , and even HMV . But today , ive spent $2220 in total . On CDs and school fees . The CDs were $90 ... Anyway , im so happy .

Today was the first day of school for many people . I think some may be as excited as a kid , while others are as dreadful and as stubborn as a mule to go to school . For me , i think today is kinda refreshing . Good thing that lecture today was short , and interesting ... because we watched this video on equal temperament . Well ... i still cant explain to u exactly what it is ... I think its corny and fun . MrYap is in a good mood , and he showed us our results . Ive got 59 for Harmony , which im already very happy about ... because ive always failed maths . Fairul is lucky ... he got 50 on the spot .

Then we went to eat Sakae at Bugis . It was XueMin's treat ... and i feel so bad now , because Evan and i ate so much ... mostly me , and it cost her $160 ... ? I paid her $10 anyway ... And , we crossed the road where Fairul got fined . It'll sound serious if it happened to me , but the way Fairul described how he got fined sounded very comical . Fairul is really funny and gay to hang out with , but i think he's a fine company .

Everyone in class looked so different . XueMin had a nice hairdo , with a little shade of dark red , which suits her skin colour ... very mature looking . While SiHan wore his new jacket , from his Mom , and i think im going to see him wear it for at least 2 more months . Jwen has this clipped on earrings , which i think is dumb ... come on , a girl who doesnt pierce her ears , kinda sounds weird . Anyway , Nuzli has cool hair too . Then , there are some like Samuel who looked alot better than last time , nice hair and nice spectacles . Angela hair was the best ! Looks kinda mature , and i think it suits her . Some were still the same , nice people with their normal self . I think im still normal ... ? Yes i am ... though with shorter hair ...

Listening to Sade now ... i still dunno whether Sade is a guy or woman . Though the coverpage featured a woman ... nevermind ...

The first guy i saw was Adams in the morning . He asked me to apply for leave for the rehearsals and performances for the musical ... and i dun think its quite necessary . His tone was like ... i dunno , just didnt like it .

Anyway , Evan bought me this keychain with my name . Then its like some wooden crayon thingi , and i dunno why i kept holding it , then i threatened to colour their shirt , and they were like scared ... its a keychain ! And i bought this super big pen today , tomorrow gonna bring to school ... but first , i must find myself a bag . Guess what happened , i had a hard time carrying my bag just now , because at Borders , the sling snapped ! Guess my bag was too heavy ... and it only carried some simple stuff ... Now its spoilt ... so , must find another bag thats big and cool enough to carry my school stuff . I almost wanted to buy a ring for myself , until i thought how am i gonna play Pipa with a ring on my finger ... then maybe not .

Its time to change my song again , this time its a piece called 'Advent Children' as u know ... from the Final Fantasy ... dunno which version . Anyway , its claimed to be played by WeiLiang which i seriously doubted so . Its playing is so refined and though some parts might be abit too hard on the strings ... i think this piece was recorded very well , its balanced and its expressive ... the player has good control over his fingers too ... Its not that i look down on WeiLiang , actually he has good musicality , but ... ive never heard him play so well before ... so cant blame me on my shadow of doubt . Kinda questionable dun anybody think so ... ?

YaTing just called me , and she needed 2 more tickets . I think i'll give her my tickets ... afterall i really dunno who would wanna come ... XinTian invited me to her house again like last year , but this time i think it'll be better ... So exciting ... ? Happy first day of school for everyone ... tomorrow will be a happy second day of school ... so , stay happy !

Horrified to know the truth of things sometimes . Like now , im talking on MSN with Jovan , and ive to add this part into my blog . Well , i read his blog and it kinda got me thinking about my career path too , whether im a performer ... ? I think ive already thought about that before ... music is my thing , and i wont let it go , just like he doesnt even after quitting school . But ... music also has alot of different paths one may head for ... Well , Jovan is a clarinetist who doesnt really shine out like his punky appearance except for the little chip that took my attention on his right ear , more i should say like a hermit crab that hid for his own emotions for too long . Well , its time he's out of his shell , and decide for himself what he wanna do . Well , uve cleared ur doubts , and did what many other musicians dare not face . Its the music that nobody dares to face , because they lied to themselves about their talents , and their dreams . Dreams can bring u too far out from reality , thus i think ... one shouldnt hope too much . Find a steady job , get a steady life and thats all about it , isnt so ? Jovan , a very emotional and sentimental guy , i should say , is currently school-less , like maybe some may not know . But dun be sad , its good for him isnt it ? Hes happy , and we as friends , should stay as happy for each other as ever . So , here i am , wishing him all the best in whateva he does , and soon enough , im sure , we'll meet up with the NAFA peeps and have some fun together like usual again . It wont be long ... because who knows whats ahead of us , nobody does . But im sure we'll miss u ! So long , and i know ur desperate when i told u that i'll blog about u tomorrow ... well then , here ive blogged it under today .

Like commencement of a new day , to some , it may be a commencement of a new life . And to all ... good luck !
