After being SO infuriated, what a treat to experience such magnificence! I remember watching this video some one year back… Still brings me such awe and inspiration..

Nothing virtuosic, nothing fanciful.. Just something purely from the heart.. No doubt, improvisation may have been memorised as speculated but who cares if the passion still pierces through to the audience..?

I’m freaking pissed. What’s with the freaking big hoo-ha about holiday jobs?!?!?!?! Damn damn damn I’m pissed!!! @@#^%*#@$%^&%

What’s with the constant ‘I can’t get a job!!’ and ‘I hate my job!’ and ‘I’m so sick with standing all day’ all around blogs lately??!?!?!! FREAKING PISSED! Oh my goodness.

It’s not as if they really need it, seriously. As in in a very serious manner, they are simply not in dire straits. I mean, it’s not as if you’re working to keep up with ailing parents and several siblings to feed? I mean come on!! They seek enjoyment in such bizarre manner…

Well, it’s as if I’m having some mouth/lip disease through the constant playing!! HAHAHAHA what the.. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, coupled with Saturday and Sunday Choir practices. My goodness I’m going to go bonkers! LOL I’m sooo elated about tomorrow’s break. I’ll be sending Wing Sze off to Hong Kong before heading to Esplanade to check out some scores. Goodness I can’t wait to learn Clair De Lune!! It’s a great piece by Debussy.. Must aim to achieve those performing standards.

Sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh. I’m still bloody pissed with the whole holiday job thing. People like seriously get a life!! LOL What’s with it, come on tell me. Enlighten me. !&#@$!@#$^&*#@$! thoroughly horrified and traumatised.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend any job seekers. But from my point of view, please understand. They are NOT desperate people man!! Ok… LOL I guessed everything’s off my chest now.

Thanks.

p.s lol on a side note, TJC people are really really quite goofy and funny people haha… It’s been an experience.

You are tending to pursue your objectives with concentrated intensity and it would seem that whatever obstacles may come into your path, you will stick to your guns and will not allow yourself to be deflected from your purpose. You are striving to achieve recognition and what is more – you deserve it.

You are lazy – you dream of a peaceful, calm, uncluttered and uncomplicated life. Your ideal would be to share a permanent base with some person or persons who would be able to demonstrate on-going love, peace and security.

Although you are, deep down, a very caring person, you are very particular in the choice of friends and indeed very demanding at times. You can be most quarrelsome and controversial and it is because of this argumentative trait you can at times explode into open conflict – conflict with even those you may care for and love. It is because of this inherent argumentative streak in you that may have resulted in broken hopes and dreams.

Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person and you demand freedom of thought to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in ‘two-timing’ and all you seek is sincerity and ’straight-dealing’.

You don’t like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination.

Oh my goodness.. Found this on Tommy’s blog. I guess words were simply taken out from my mouth. Everything..

Been a crazy week so far! Goodness gracious I’ve never had such a long musical week in my life! Practically at leat 5 hours a day of sax playing.. Wow and I had like 8+ hours yesterday cos had Pei Hwa from 9 to 1 then TJ from 3 to 7… I could have died.

TJ people are really a friendly and nice bunch. Nothing like the anti-social environment of Pei Hwa.. Not even a bit! Haha… It’s interesting to see how people can open up so easily.. I tried my best.

Still to come, Pei Hwa tomorrow from 9 to 2, TJ on Saturday from 9 to 2, followed by Christmas Cantata performance practice at Adrian’s from 2 to 6.. I wonder how I’ll cope! Found out recently that I’d be psalming during the Cantata day too, which is Christmas Eve in church! HAha.. Rather scary, cos I’m sure the congregation population then would probably be too much to handle.

3 things keeping me occupied for the whole my my post O’s.. Friends are working, friends are jamming. Me? Working my butt off.. Seriously! Church, Pei Hwa, TJ. I’m dying!! Liana did mention about getting enough rest. Should have taken it more seriously than usual. Cos said too soon, the stupid flu bug has entered my body! Hope to recover soon, am psalming this weekend too for mass, but I’ve got some substitutes to help me out! Hope I can recover by Sunday though, I really want to do it well. Haha..

Been catching up on some entertainment life too! I’m currently going through Charmed Season One (yes, ONE!!) on youtube.. Really miss the days I’d wait for Wednesdays to arrive because Charmed’ll be on at 8pm.. The days of pre-O’s that is.. Haha.. Sigh. What a life.

Bring me anywhere and I can approach you warmly and very friendly. Everyone’s my friend; saying hello and flashing the widest smile may be a task too simple. However, asking me to easily pick the person whom I can confide with? Zero. No, I can never open up about my life’s secrecies. Of course, there are a select few whom I can maybe open up to a teeny bit more, but anything more than quite-a-bit-more, nah.. None.

What’s the worst feeling you can feel? For me? I hate the feeling of being underestimated. I absolutely detest being seen as an ignorant person on a subject I know about. The speaker may think I may be a total newbie to this rarely-spoken-of topic but seriously, I have heard about it, I know briefly what is it and that’s that. I hate it when people try and ‘teach’ me about a topic with them feeling that I’m totally benefiting from it. Worst thing to me? I hate pretending like I’m absorbing whatever a person is saying!! Whatsmore, not because I don’t get what he/she is saying, but more so of that I already know these details and you needn’t teach me all over again!! Damn.

Well, I guess I’m just weird to look too much into such minute details in life.

On a happier, cheerful note:

Without the Principal, Miss Chong, there would not have Pei Hwa and all the rewarding experiencesPhotobucket

Without the inspiration from Ms Lo to write and the motivation to argue, SS & History would probably be a terrible downfall for me.

If I didn’t have him in my class, I’d probably suffer the trauma of Cs for both Maths again like in Secondary One and Two!! With Mr Ho, scores were as high as they could go! Hahaha…

Mrs Ng inspired me to excel for English!! Oh my goodness without her guidance, I’d probably still be the hopeless trash in the waste paper baskets.

ll well, things have been pretty hectic and finally, with one more paper left tomorrow (yes, ironically, Chemistry Paper One) LOL… I can’t wait for life after the O’s already!

Recently, we just celebrated Mum’s birthday! It was so cool and probably the best celebration ever. We woke up early and headed off to East Coast Park after picking up her friend as well as my brother.. Went to Waraku to munch on their food! I had a large bowl of Katsu Don as well as several side dishes like Salmon sashimi, baby octopuses and this kinda fried scallop. It was super yummy! LOL and then there was this interesting dish which Dad had gotten. It was like you had this big bowl of soup in a metal bowl and then you turn on the fire to boil it. Slowly, you add your slices of beef and within seconds, you can eat the cooked beef! It was very yummy with the special soy sauce (or not special? hahaha) and Bro just ate everything with Wasabi.. Hahah what the.

Then after lunch, we headed to the beach cos my Mum’s friend’s grand daughter was really excited hahaha… I got to admit, the weather was really pretty damn great! It was so windy and sunny and I just had to do my usual seashell picking!! LOL Did that ever since I was like a young little boy.. But of course, somehow there just weren’t any nice ones.. Too bad!

The photo doesn’t do justice at all, but lying on a mat while looking up to the sky was pretty nice! HAHA but my eyes just couldn’t take the brightness despite the shade.. :S

And then I tilted my head back and took a photo.. LOL ok I know this is getting quite lame. Whatever is lame? LOL What exactly does lame mean.. Hmm

Went to the lagoon after a short while!! Had really great Thai Coconuts, Aloe Vera drink, Chendol, Chilli La La (Clams!!), Chilli Gong Gong (some kind of shell fish) and also some satay!! Woohoo.. LOL it was really quite delicious with the perfect weather. Of course, we shared everything.. I couldn’t possibly stomach everything!

———————————————————

Of course, went for the POP for my bands’ majors!! This time it was a lot cooler.. The BMs did not have to do display marching! Which is a pity because it was really fun, but at the same time, focusing on just purely music was totally the bomb.. LOL! Okay okay.

Well, this post was actually several days ago, the day before the Chem P1!! LOL!! It was Prom today and pics will be coming up. It was great boy.
