Love Pentagons

Havent been blogging for quite a period . Lost the touch , the flow and the passion . Where was i before ? Well , many things are still happening though my Dad has passed on . He died a few weeks ago , but im sure he didnt go totally in peace . Jane , fucking whore , is still on the loose . Great , im not going to let her get away . I better act fast , but Dorothy told me not to contact her , for that she is dangerous ... Well , i think she is trying to run away with Dad's money , because she is going to send Amanda back to China . So , if Amanda , her only burden is gone , she is free to go anywhere she wants , and we'll not be able to track her down . What the fuck ? U think i dunno that ? Fucking bitch !

Anyway , the Suona sounds and fills the air tonight . Unsightful lights , candles and offerings ... filled the atmosphere . I was walking home from the MRT station , not only that i bumped into a few of these offerings , but also stepped on a few of this dark patches on the ground . This is a sign for the coming festival . So , shall we put on our party hats and celebrate ?

Went to school in the morning , and took a bus . My concession is ending tomorrow , and im thinking ... how am i going to go to school ? I hope it'll be fine tomorrow . But wait , i think ive left with negative digits in my card . Shit , how am i going to go to school ? Nevermind about that , wait till tomorrow to worry .

So , i had class at 9 am . I had breakfast with PekChuan , such coincidence , then Zoe came later . After eating , DrKan came pass and she stopped to talk to Zoe . Interesting expression she has . Anyway , MsLim was as usual , nice and drama . She played a few music , and some of which were my favourites , Ruan concerto by LiuXing , and some SanXian pieces . Mind u , she played the first and third movement , without stopping . So , we spent quite a while listening to the music . It was good . Anyway , today's topic was on the Pipa , and she went through the things which ive already known ... and ive already submitted a work on it to DrManhart for ethnomusicology . I hope i did well .

Last week , we had ethnomusicology class with this Malay guy . He gave us a masterclass on the WayangKulit . It was damn interesting ... because , he was funny and he was good with his points . He caught our interest , and he gave a demo on the puppets . It was in English , therefore , not very authentic . But still , i didnt know that it could have such funny elements within the play . It has always appeal to me as a rather serious type of art . Its sophisticated and really purely an art that covers all elements of art . The ethnomusicology class yesterday was different . DrManhart talked to us about his trip to Indonesia to study their music , specifically in Nias . Its an island , and quite inaccessible . So , he told us about his journey , and it was funny . Anyway , he told us about this social system too . Villagers there had slaves ... and the slaves were not considered human . So , when their wives buy gold , they are believed to be very strong spirits , and so ... the slaves would wear them , so that the bad spirits will enter the slaves . After a few days , they will behead the slaves , so that the wives would wear the gold . Next , when the master dies , the slave would be buried alive , beside the master , in another area . So , they have this tube that links from the master's mouth to the slave's mouth , who should be alive . So , when the body decays , the bad spirit would enter the slave ... Sick , right ? Anyway , its interesting ... DrManhart then went on talking about the occassional instruments of the Nias people . The class was ... boring , for once . Next week , we'll be doing it hands on . Hope that it'll be interesting !

That day , we went to the library . Im sure many of u remember that very day ! Nightmare , yes . Well , we were told to do an essay . Of course , not to finish writing it ... but , give her the main points , and an introduction with a conclusion . What the hell ? My topic was on Weber and Wagner ... Great , i dunno shit about them . So , ShiXuan and i were reading up about them . She managed to produce something in the end of the day , i mean ... 2 hours . And for me , i was stuck , only with little knowledge of Weber . DrKan told me to hand it to her some other day , and try to be as quickly as possible . How to ? Im not very free to really go torture myself to do all her work , seriously . I have a life to entertain . Please , i beg u , please let me go . Free me ...

Last Thursday , after the horrible session of history in the library . Its time for celebration . Our custom celebration , on every Thursday , because ... its the worse day of the week ! Last year , its Wednesday , i know . But now , its Thursday . So , we suffered enough ... and we went to celebrate . At the same time , we celebrated EeWei's birthday ! Happy birthday girl ! Well , so we wrote this card , and also some bought her gifts . I wasnt really prepared . So , i just went for the dinner . Christoven , Mark and i brought her along with us to CafeCartel . Waiting for us , there was Dorothy , also known as Dot , ShuFeng and ... i dunno her name . Anyway , they've graduated already , other than ShuFeng . So , we ate .

Mark's order was wrong , and so ... he suffered eating this stupid tiny plate of tomoto based spaghetti . Yes , sorry , it was with ... some meatballs . Anyway , mine was this huge plate , not really that huge , of white cream spaghetti with different mushrooms , a forest of it . And Christoven has this delicious steak . EeWei ordered something nicer , with chicken and spaghetti . Mark and i was ... regretting with our orders . But upon looking at Mark's dish , i thought ... maybe its worth it afterall .

Im so evil . Im joking .

And so , today was fun . After class , we went to eat . After that , i practiced for quite a while ... then i was really tired ... So , i slept in YeoYee's practice room , the classroom . SiHan was kinda sad today . Depressed , for real . Well , SiHan , its alright . There's something more for u to learn , and maybe its a fortune in disguise . As old Chinese proverbs go ... they go like ... this .

So , our bitching quartet grew into a quintet today . I better not say anything about this event , because ... its top secret . Nothing happened .

I thought after slacking blogging for such a long time , i might lose touch . But well , seems like im kinda back into action . I dunno how the format goes already ... And well , i lost all the cliche and the terms i always use . I dunno what to crap . But well , without blogging , i feel kinda confused about the everyday events . But without blogging , ive more time to rest and do something else .

So , love triangles are in the air . Again ? Maybe something more interesting this time . Hope it doesnt result in murders . Or maybe something bigger , a pentagon ?
