IMVU

So, i didnt blog last night, and im here to blog. Well, yesterday was a tiring day. In the morning, i was late for lesson with YanYu. Well, during the lesson, Angela cried. YanYu hurried to attend to her baby, but only to realise that she's just calling out, not even a single tear. I was laughing away... because its just too cute. We went through the duet piece, and i was still thinking who'll be playing the Zheng for me! TingTing promised, and she thought that im joking, and its regarding my exam, why would i joke? Im kinda pissed that she suddenly dun wanna play for my exam. Well, i cant blame her, because her exam woud be after mine. So, i need a Zheng player! I'll be asking around...

Had lunch with my uncle, Mom and her friends from Malaysia. ShuYing, is the daughter of her friend, and she is my age. But, she looks so much older? Im not sure, but slightly more mature looking. Anyway, she's here to look for her table tennis coach. She is a sports person i guess... As for me, after eating, we brought Mom back home, then uncle fetched us down to Bugis.

They wanted to go OG to look for their friend, so i brought them there, and from there, i walked back to school. I was in the com lab, and thats where i got cheated! Cheated by Jwen and Evan, the horrible bad people! They tricked me into playing this stupid game called IMVU. It serves like MSN, IRC and with graphical designs and an online character, that makes the chat much more interesting. So, i created my avatar and registered. By doing so, they actually get 500 credits and gets extra 50 credits when i get my first chat. Its stupid! They cheated me... and after persuading me to play, and after getting their credits, they leave me alone.

I figured out on how to play, and i realised that they were using me. So, i scolded them and started making fun of them. I kept irritating Jwen by asking her questions about IMVU, while she was doing her history essay. So funny! Then, Jeremiah told me that he has an account too. So, we talked for quite a long time, hoping to earn some credits. Well, we do earn credits by talking for at least 3 minutes a day, and it'll multiply everyday. So, ive no choice but to ask my friends to play it, so that i can earn that 500 credits, and talk to them for an extra 50 credits. Moreover, by logging on everyday to chat to earn my extra credits. I need some credits to get myself something.

After playing, i realised that my character is too ugly. So, i used my other email account to create another character, which looks so much better! I bought a house, a Piano and for the old character, a house too and an ugly Chinese chair. So super ugly! My new house is so much nicer...

By the way, there isnt much to do, so... i played till around 5pm, and headed down to the theatre to check out on the dancers. Its there, during dinner, that i got to know WenYang. He is the accompanist for the dancers in the ballet. He plays the Piano, and he is a very nice and friendly guy. I didnt know about him until i read his resume from the programme booklet. He has been in the field of dance accompaniment for 5 years already. With only 6 years of Piano lessons, he continued to pick up other instruments like Flute and Piccolo in his school bands and stuff. Now, he is currently studying in NUS, and also in the NUSSO. He is the resident conductor of RWinds, an alumni symphonic band of the Raffles school. He is kinda amazing, and really humble.

We talked and joked, while waiting for the dancers to rehearse the ballet one more time. I headed outside and found a reception, where all the lecturers were, talking and eating. DrKan was there, talking to DrErnestLim, RenaPhua and there was DrGoh, Adams, and EricWatson as well. Other than the music faculty, theres many other lecturers from all over. Meanwhile, let me introduce u guys to the head of dance, BerndMichaelTeichmann. From his name, u would probably guess that he's from Germany. He is, and he has been in Singapore since 2001. He is very funny and humorous.

So, i waited backstage, and soon... while chatting with the dance lecturers and WenYang, time flew quickly and the curtains were drew. There were applauses while the first item was presented, Indian dance. After the dances, there was an interval, and i wished WenYang all the best, as he was telling me that he'll get butterflies often for Piano solos. Well, as for me, though ive played solos so many times, im still getting huge butterflies and moths in my stomache. Thats the worst!

He played well, and i sat backstage, waiting for the ballerina to come collect her stocking from me. She has to change her costume, so i had to hold her big bulky dress for her too. Its so funny, because the other girls were all laughing at me. I was nice enough to help her, and i think i'll be helping her for the other 2 performances, tonight and tomorrow night.

Soon, after the short interval, its my turn. I sat there, and the curtains drew back, the lights litted on the dancers. I knew, its my cue, and i had to play the first note. There goes...

It ended, and i was kinda still pumping away... but kinda relaxed surprisingly. As i went backstage, Jamaludin said it was a good job. The dancers did very well! After their final piece, which is a premiere in Singapore, we were invited back on stage, WenYang and i. We bowed, and were given a bouquet each. We walked to the side, and the lecturers were then invited on stage. Grand finale, and thats the end of the concert. The lights went out, and the curtains fell.

We waited for the dancers to have a last briefing, and for them to move out. We shook hands with Michael, Jamaludin and other lecturers. So, our reporting time tomorrow will be later, maybe at reporting time would do. Well, i'll go slightly earlier to prepare myself.

I took the flowers, and headed upstairs to level 6. QingLun saw me, and he read my resume, pointing out silly sentences and laughing at my photo. What great encouragement i have from a good friend. He said that if i were to list out the names of the masters which ive attended masterclasses from, then he would have too many to write. Well, thats ur problem, if u wanna write, u write. If u dun wanna write, then dun laugh at others who do write. By the way, ive seen so many resumes talking about who they've attended masterclasses from. So, its not like every resume must be according to a specific style. Moreover, by doing what u did, ur actually insulting resumes by people like WuYuXia, MikeChiang and YouGuo, because i referred to their's mostly for the resume's structuring. I wasnt angry, but just kinda disgusted how narrow sometimes people can think.

He headed downstairs with me, and i wanted to give him a ride to Bedok, because we're going there. But he refused and he left... Thanks for accompanying me downstairs and opening the door for me while my hands were all busy. Thanks, QingLun.

We left for Bedok, only to find ourselvse stuck in the traffic. We fetched the girls and her friends, and we all headed for supper. Where? At the minced pork noodles market. There, i met LianWei and his friends, including Desmond and his friend, the 2 Clarinetists. Well, ate alot... i ate 2 bowls of noodle, and ate some shellfish, but its kinda spicy... i almost burnt my tongue.

Got home, after fetching the girls home, and lastly... she had to fetch ShuYing and her mother to ChoaChuKang, then she'll head to Malaysia and back for petrol.

I was trying to blog, only to find myself getting lazier and lazier. Its the ideas, they are running dead... So, here i am blogging away... and im going to attend to my avatar on IMVU! I got to encourage people to register the IMVU, and some will be my new target, and i got to ask Dedric, Michelle, MinHui, Richard, Grace and others to register already.

Damn, MinHui has an account already! Damn it! Im joking... im fine.

Evan and Jwen must be so jealous! Coterminious reactions...
