Book the Eighth

2008-11-10T08:06:00.003+08:00

- To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.*

Hamlet (Act 3 Scene 1) William Shakespeare

Los Angelas Philharmonic + Esa-Pekka + Sarah

2008-10-26T00:05:00.006+08:00

The concert today featured LAphil under Esa-pekka and Sarah Chang. Went there with ChinWei, ChinYing and their mom.
haha. ChinYing is so hilarious!
And ChinWei had this tape over her ankle that she's too lazy
to remove after her ballet. Some RGS girl she is.
All in all its a theam worth-while 71 bucks + 5 hours spent.

Programme
Sibelius: Death of Mélisande (from Pelléas et Mélisande), Op. 46
Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 4 with SARAH CHANG
(excerpt below)
Debussy: La Mer
Ravel: Boléro

Some prodigy she is.
Though i wish to her perform Mendelssohn violin con mov1 live.

No encores by her. How saddening. Fantastic no doubt

Tonality, emotions, technicality, whatever - full marks.

SHE IS SO MOLTEN LAVA.*

Carrots

2008-10-21T14:28:00.003+08:00

Ginger went out to the fields one day to hunt for carrots for lunch. Hopping on hind limbs, Ginger look ahead of her and saw the green field with sweet-smelling carrots somewhere beneath and ground.
(but of course being an experienced rabbit over the past 10months of her studies under professor Jeromebegone, and through her last trip out there, which she was hurt very very badly, Ginger knows that hunters make traps around in the fields)

So Ginger trained very hard back at her tunnel, so ensure that she can hop past all the traps in the field. (on average 6hours a day?)

Fully prepared, Ginger took with her a 4.3inch Mac paring knife and started hopping around the fields, in search for good carrots around.
(Mind you carrot is an herbaceous plant containing about 87% water, rich in mineral salts and vitamins B,C,D,E especially carotene).

After about 10min of hoping, Ginger's fur got caught in a small bush. Apparently there was wire bares hooking on to the fur. Ginger cut off the trapped fur and hopped away. Some noob trap that was, she thought.

The next 15min was smooth journey but no carrots yet. Logicallly. But just then, Ginger's left leg got snapped in a trap and she sees a hunter nearby with the gun locating her. In desperation, Ginger used the knife and severed off her leg then hopped away painfully, forgetting to bring the knife along.

Ginger hid behind the bush until she heard the hunter left and then continued her journey. Fortunately, after 2 leaps, Ginger saw a big carrot lying on the grass! So happily, Ginger hopped with all her might using the right hind limb onto the carrot. Little did Ginger knew that it was a trap and so she fell into the fake grass and into a hole bug by some idiots.

It was quite deep and given her one and only hind leg left it was almost impossible to jump out of the hole.

As evening draws near, a snake slitters into the hole and offered help to bring Ginger out.
'Snakes are enemies' Ginger recalled in one of Prof Jeromebegone's lecture. So Ginger bit the snake until it dies. Meanwhile Ginger lost half of her teeth bitting the snake and got her right ear bitten off by the snake.

Then taking the big carrot still left at the entrance of the hole, Ginger tried with all her might to reach back home by nightfall.

Ginger made it home but felt extremely terrible after all the incidents.

What screwed theam life, Gingerthought.
yet thanked God that she didn't die at the journey.
Ginger can't make up her mind really.

it is... WORKING!

- Time to reward ourselves...

so sis & i went for island creamery on thurs after her higher chinese paper.

But before that i went to visit Tan lao shi! My ex-chinese tutor.

Made her a card and bought some tasty food for her but it turned cold.

Chatted with her till it was time for me to meet hui.

She went to Amaris' house to do whatever experiments.

She and her good friend did some of the craziest stuff...shan't mention.

Then we rushed over island creamery.

Met Tyas, her sis, her sis' two friends and Tiara!

They are such fun! ha.

hui ordered mudpie while i had double scoop c&c + nutella.

Then before eating we exchanged our orders.

So after licking them off for half an hour it turned like that:

Then headed off for a viola masterclass by Alexander Mishnaevsky.

Apparently the class makes me feel like switching over to viola instead.

It's cgda as well, octave(s) higher. So sounded good. imagine.

And the first one was Bach's 1st prelude! fantastic that is.

That girl has got talents man.

Then four others but i thought the last two were great too.

All got talents lah.

Then i saw Jiang Hansong! Oh man he's another got many talent!

and so hawt rot! Principal violist for ystco!

I think the talented girl is his. they are so paired!

I think the two hours there was so fun.

But so sad i didn't go to the one on the next day.

Mishnaevsky is one strict teacher, but funny at times.

Remind me of mr voo and lesson on saturday...

Resumed music class again but my ear got some problems.

As always, tone-deathness.

I don't even know why i agreed to serene. I'll die!

But lesson wise was still ok.

Scalings weren't good. Needa memorise all greade 4 ones.

And I was told to check all the past history of Satie and the piece.

Just because I'm going to learn play it. isn't it a little off?

Then fellowship was fun.

The p6-ers joined us for the first time. It's time anyway.

Really hope they can stay in fellowship and grow here.

So we learnt 3 things:

1. Experience God personally

2. Learn about God in a group.

3. Serve God while you are still young.

Abel, Osmond and Nigel joined my group.

Quite noisy but hope that they are learning something.

after which, went to Palm gerdens for F4 gathering.

But apparently i didn't even need to look after the kids.

They were playing iceman by themselves. I joined in a while.

Then chatted with Maple and Rachel. Both very sweet girls.

Sunday School today is sweet as ever.

The kids are naughty at times but still as cute!

So I'm glad to be able to help out there.*

i did better than mid-years which was like shit?
Just hope that I can get promoted.

The stupid sound device crashed so now there's no sound from com.
So I can't watch heroes 3, can't watch youtube, can't hear anything!
Its so theam annoying big time!

Can't wait for sat to come! REALLY!!!!

SO much to learn with SO little time

2008-09-27T12:01:00.003+08:00

Here's how it owrks. Before the industrial revolution, the Earth's atmosphere contained about 280 parts per million of carbon dioxide. That was a good amount - "good" defined as "what we were used to." Since the molecular strusture of carbon dioxide traps heat near the planet's surface that would otherwise radiate back out to apsce, civilisation grew up in a world whosr thermostat was set by that number. It equated to a global average temperature of about 57 degrees Fahrenheit, which in turn equated to all the places we built our cities, all the crops we learned to grow and eat, all the water supplies we learned to depend on, even the passage of the seasons that, at higher latitudes, set our psychological calenders. Once we started burning coal and gas oil to power our lives, that 280 number started to rise. When we began measuring in the late 1950s, it had already reached the 315 level. Now it's at 380, and increasing by roughly two parts per million annually. That doesn't sound like very much, but it turns out that the extra heat that CO2 traps, a couple of watts per square meter of the Earth's surface, is enough to warm the planet considerably. We're raised the temperature more than a degree Fahrenheit already. It';s impossible to precisely predict the consequences of any further increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. But the warming we've seen so far has started almost everything frozen on Earth to melting; it has changed seasons and rainfall patterns; it's set the sea to rising.
................................................
In the end, global warming presents the greatest test we humans have yet faced. Are we ready to change, in dramatic and prolonged ways, in order to offer a workable future to subsequet generations and diverse forms of life? If we are, new technologies and new habits offer some promise. But only if we move quickly and decisively - and with muturity we've rarely shown as a society or a species. It's our coming-of-age moment, and there are no certainties or gurantees. Only a window of possibility, closing fast but still ajar enough to let in some hope.

sorry typing is just seemingly fun especially since im now cut off from cello to prepare for theam promos acoming so this works out my fingers quite a fair bit and im still typing here un controllably cause it just wouldnt stop and even as im like supposed to ckick maplegoh now caue its blinking i still cannot stop typing cause when your fingers starts moving and brain starts coding genetic information to b sent to the neurons and through the axon the produce a series of signalling cascade via the activation of receptors at the membranes assuming that the ligand is hydrophilic and cannot pass through the hydrophobic phospholipid tails and needs either receptor tyrosine kinase or g protein coupled receptor to bring about a transfer of information across the membrane thereby phosphorylating the tyrosine protein in the intracellular site of the cells, that will initiate a signalling cascade down the signal transduction pathway and via phosphorylation and this creates a signal amplification concurrently hence only a small amount of ligand is needed to produce a wide variety and amount of response and this signal will bring about nerve impulses being transmitted down the axon membrane where the nerve impulse will open up the voltage gated na plus channels that will cause influx of na plus ions into axonplasm hence creating a potential differentiation across the axon membrane this will cause diffusion of na plus ions to the next region of channel where it is relatively negative in charge and this cause slight depolarisation at the region resulting in a small electric circuit produced across the two channel and this electrical difference will cause na plus channels at the slightly depolarized region to open up hence cause even more na plus ions to move into the axon and create another action potential this will continue on as the propagation process until the current reaches the presynaptic membrane at the synaptic knob like for example the cholinergic synapse and causing the ca twoplus chemically gated channels to open up to encourage the influx of ca twoplus from the extracellular fluid and the ca twoplus will encourage the synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitter to move towards the presynptic membrane and fuses wih it so that the neurotransmitter for example acetylcholineto be released into the synaptic cleft while the synaptic vesicles return back into the presynaptic knob to bring more acetylcholine or neurotransmitter to the synaptic cleft via exocytosis and the acetylcholine at the synaptic cleft will diffuse across to the postsynaptic membrane where there are chemically gated na plus and k plus ions channels embedded at the postsynaptic membrane to be activated by the neurotransmitterand when activated it will open up and there will be influx of na plus and k plus ions into the postsynaptic membrane but na plus ion channels will first be opened up to allow ba plus to enter into the relatively negatively charged postsynaptic membrane to bring about depolarization till the absolute refractory is reached and na plus channels will close while k plus ions channels will open up to repolarize so the the potential difference can go back to resting potential and this will cause propagation of signalling casdes agin and the whole thing is copied and paste as per above and i cannot believe that im typing all this out from my brain without my notes and im still thinking baout toing down how the restin potential can be maintained via the na plus and k plus pumps along the membrances which will cause 3 na plus ions to move out into the extracellular site while only two k plus ions hence the resting potential can be maintained at negative seventy and i forgot the units already ah great well done hannah you already did a quite a fair bit of memory work its like one oh three now which means i have to fellowship soon cause compoulsory prayermeeting is at two thrity and i havent had lunch and i forgot to type that the synaptic cleft will have delay of about zero point two to zero point five miliseconds because the synaptic diffusion takes tim and something else which means i have to go read up le and i just remembered the last page dropped off so i got to go staple it back and yes typing is addictive especially when youre cut off from cello for one whole week already now and my fingers are really dying to play it again but its still in the bag since my last class but thebooks are out and i got to clean itquite a bit and i wonder why fullstop oh ok and as per always say i always forgot to link this back to the main topic of why brain keep sending the message to my hands to keep typing and yup thats why the whole synapse and neurotransmitter thing send the message ahha ok my gandma is preparing my lunch almost done now and she just returned from india two days ago for her holiday and bought me one handmade puoch one bracelet that i liked a lot and some chocolates plus a small apple so she kept telling me that the india kids very poor thing cause they beg on their knees in front of you for food and its quite heartaching as i can imagine already so theres cip trips and my class is going batam i hope its in jan before schools starts so that i can do something for the churchs carnival on the twenty eight of december i want to use what God gave me to let him be know exclamation mark hallelujah praise be to God fullstop

Shostakovich addiction

2008-09-15T03:58:00.000+08:00

-Aw shucks.
It's so late now. dead.
See how addictive Shostakovich is.

Falling asleep during lectures? Think of this:
Here's the fifth movement of his 1st cello concerto.

Been watching all five movements over and over again.
and over and over and over and over and over again.

After finishing the mailbox and sign off msn,
I still can't leave my eyes off the fantastic videos.

Cello at its epitome. Han-na Chang is for real.*

better go to bed now, hannah.

p.s. PW is killing me!

2008-09-09T18:19:00.009+08:00

- birds at Jurong Bird Park...And my sis' ever messy room!

Look at her face. So angry. haha!

Well but she wanted me to delete away the two photos..
so too bad for those who didn't catch it. bleh!

Oh of course and happy teachers day to me again!*And the half collecting-dust cello at the top of double-deck bed.
Talking about laziness to put it back into the soft case...

cause i want a carbon fibre casing!*

Thankful for this timetable of mine!*

just for gags fun

2008-09-01T14:56:00.006+08:00

Happy teachers' day to you you and me!

2008-08-31T20:27:00.006+08:00

Its teachers' day again! yep.

But there's a little element of speciality to it this year.

Lets see...

FRIDAY

1. Had teachers day celebration in school and it ended early.

So thankful for that. really.

And then went to the canteen to celebrate Mr Lim's (cf) birthday.

And also teachers day for all other teachers.

Left my bottle in school ):
left to right: The Lim's family. front row teachers only. Miss Lim (Eileen),
Miss Lim (kay-lin), Mr Lim (Kenji Marc), Mr Lim (Chye fook).

2. Went back to PeiHwa Presbyterian with Nicole and...

in same uniform! *maniacal laughter*

And finally saw madam Ling this time round! Hooray!

After 5 long years... no wonder she said me and nic changed a lot.

Took pictures but only managed to get one of this from zw.

left to right: nic, luo laoshi, jiahua, zhiwei, me and mr peck.

yep yep. the teachers still remembered us in one way or another.

It was a good time catching up and its fun nonetheless.

3. By Gods miracle, I managed to get home to bring my cello

along for music class to get it tuned properly. thank God big time.

And I definitely deproved in one way or another...

So i gave Mr Voo his gift but its knida sad cause I

did so badly that day, out of tune three-quarts of the time.

Tsk.

And he wants me to finish up til the forth position studies by monday.

Cause I'm gonna learn fifth position next.

Dead.

4. Went for math tuition after that and theres the olympaid teacher.

Intigration is tough.

So is handling the piles and piles of formula.

5. Did not return to Kranji for the pure reason of: No time.

Promised to do so next year. Just so its justified.

SATURDAY

6. Its Happy Daoshi day! And chuqing and I was the ic.

Yipeee. Did pretty gifts for them as a fellowship.

I thought the whole actvity was quite fun big big fun.

It's a good ime for us to appreciate their presence and purpose

of why God put them amongst us.

SUNDAY

7. Went for Sunday school and its so rewarding!
I had so much fun playing with Joelle and Siyin today. haha.
They are such cute 4-5year olds! And received pretty gifts too.

From Joshua (my cousin!), Christine and Benjamin!

Incentives to work harder.

Decided to let Carrie and Joelle draw in the book Christine gave.

And Siyin is such adorable kid who stand firm on her view of

"this (a tomato) is not a fish! It's not!"

Cause I tried to psycho her that a tomato is actually called - fish.

It's really nice to be their sunday school teacher.

Seeing them learn God's word.

And I actually do learn something from each lesson.

Like having faith to walk on water, to be healed.

Bacause God is Love.*

Dedication:

Happy Teachers day to LUO LAOSHI, MDM LING, MR CHOY,
MR PECK, MR CHAN, MISS CHAN, MS SHIH, MISS LEE, LU LAOSHI,
MR LIM, HE LAOSHI, MDM NORMALA, MRS RAM, MISS LIM,
MISS LIM, MR LIM, MR LIM, MISS LIM, MR GOH, MISS TEO,
MISS MOOK, MR LOW, YE LAOSHI, MR VOO, YINHUAN DAOSHI,
PR LUI, PR CHUA, BIJUN DAOSHI, WENGUANG DAOSHI,
ALL OTHER TEACHERS I HAVE YET TO MENTION...

AND MYSELF!!! wahaha! haha. ha. ha. . .

September short holidays are here.
Time to catch up, work hard, eat smart.

bio (yet again) + WoO 27 + Foodie day

2008-08-17T19:12:00.010+08:00

- Yes, thank God the test was opened yet again that day.

Some pics...
The program yesterday - Foodie day, that is, was a great success.
I supposed.
But anyway, nice to see everyone so happy.
So might as well.

Ahhh and this two genius.

2008-08-13T01:58:00.000+08:00

- Darn it!!! After spending my whole night studying light rxn
and doing the multiple choice questions and logging in the
asknlearn late at night like now. MY EFFORTS ARE GONE!!!

After finishing all 14 questions except for the two others,
which i have no clue what they were, I stopped and started
thinking how to do the two blanks then "click" - "time's up!"
and I realise that I didn't save the completed copy and I ended
up handing in a blank piece of formative assesment!!! airs.

ME! What to do!!!!??? Mr Goh is going to chop my head off
into small little pieces and feed it to the seagull across the road!
My work my work my work!!!
Someone please just stab me with something! I hate this feeling!
Time to get back to those mcq... life's like that.*

Happy Birthday Singapore!

2008-08-09T23:00:00.005+08:00

-Ok, I'm wondering how many thousand people is typing the

above title as their blog title. Like wow, its Singapore's 43!

Watched Olympics opening yesterday, it was really awesomely

grand. And I mean grand grand grand can.

The place is some pretty pretty.

Some old pictures dug out.

Drawn during the seminar just now.

From Miss Choy Jingyi

Wish I had a rack of cello huh.

I really wish to learn this piece. Tried it out just now but in Emaj
Cmaj, and with wrong vibrato and without doublestops. tsk.
It's just amazing. You can see. Enjoy.

Was late for the worship seminar this morning and I was so scared.
So scared that I cried on my way to sbc on the cab. But became ok.
The worship seminar was quite meaningful though.
Learnt some stuff amidst all those "stick-stick" around me.*

Causes of the Debt Crisis in the Third World

2008-08-02T01:36:00.002+08:00

-Third World debt has long been recognised as a major obstacle

to human development. Many other problems have arisen

because of the enormous debt that third world countries owe to

rich countries. Debt has impeded sustainable human development,

security and political or economic stability. Taken from globalissues.

org, this article by Anup Shah examines some of the causes of the

debt crisis confronting Third World countries today.

Poverty, that is, anything but nice.

Currently under the tutelage of one of the top scholar from RJ.

Kinda sad that I can't get the one from Harvard huh.*

headache.heartache.

2008-07-27T21:55:00.005+08:00

-ima real craze over it.

Don't think I should say yes to the year end performance.
I mean, two years later I'll do Arioso for Curtis right?

And I so don't want to change vc teacher.*

threehundredandfirst

2008-07-25T23:12:00.009+08:00

-Went Yong Siew Toh for group outing picnic on the Sat,

and it was drizzling then. Big ants and chips.

The place is so pretty! If only I get to study there...

Well, anyways, the performance on Wed was good.

Fantastic if I can use the word.

Mr Voo looks so stern for his sonata,

but for the last trio piece, he kept smiling to the violinist.

The violinist is so got TALENT (and looks) lah!

And the pianist is so pretty too!
I thought the last piece really was epitome.

Its Mendelssohn's 2nd famous chamber piece. Trio in D minor.

So here's a recording for the 1st mov:

Really good ah. And this is only just the 1st movement!

Too bad pictures were forbidden, so here's the Steinway & Sons

and an unmatching "guard" looking after the grand and slipstopper!

Dad said they are real young talents and given time will bloom!

Go teacher & co. you can do it!

Wonder why there's so many people using friendster.

I'll never use it.

But My Space interest me a lot,

especially since I found so many yst people there!

School: Racial Harmony, Priscilla, prata, and UUUU.

Arrggghhh, gonna miss out 1 month of cello class.
Mr Voo's leaving for Switzerland (wth!) got talent too.
But he gave me so much homework to do! Well done hor.*

Angels from God + BB 71J

2008-07-13T20:32:00.012+08:00

-Hmmm, think God gave many angels around me to tell

me not to give up and encourage me.

The Exodus sermon today, the 7.30 one yesterday, Diana ds,

Meiying (ds), Siyuan, Sophia, and so many more angels.

So thankful to him!

Ha anyway, went for Boys Brigade yesterday morning. Fun!

Most pictures taken by Clarice. claps.

Falling in parade

And some violinistWish I could perform here someday...They were having some test.

Don't they just look like long lost siblings?

Yes, Sophia Chua was the scholar for South View 2001!

Other than that,
Trumpet shirt from Far East. I so want it!

Fragile, approach at your own risk.*

Its all about U

2008-07-09T00:52:00.005+08:00

- Oh corsh. feeling so shety now. like theam it.
Cause U are flooding in my mind and my toilet bowl
and my table and my ceiling and my plate and my bag
and my bed and my lights and my shoes and my shampoo
and my drawers and my wallets and my PAPERS.
yes, it's U. Get out of my life. please.
Just need one more of U and that's it.
Must never underestimate the power U possess.
once U spoiled my day and U spoil it again today.
and U are getting worst each time i see U.
what the hael U doing to my life.

U are suffocating me so badly.seriously.

ok, enough about U.
hate U and i mean it.*

Need to replace U with some suite 2 sarabande, very badly.
I'm sooooooooooo ready to give up all my fore-planned concerts.
So much for U.

As one

2008-07-03T18:18:00.004+08:00

-Oh well, how should i put it. Maybe 39 is my lucky number.

You know what makes and spoils my day. seriously.

On the lighter note:

Happy Birthday

Mommy, Joey, Teacher Vig, Esther, Sihui & Siangning!

Ok, gtg rush my EoM!*

As always

2008-06-28T10:56:00.000+08:00

-Yep, and as always, Hannah becomes happy again.
Not that she's giving up chem, but she thank God its only MYE.

Anyways, the Chem SPA yesterday was good, i think.
Vivi did lots of wrongs and she's worried sick! (Its A lvl mind you)
ok, but she's gotten over it, cause she went towning of them all.
So no one went islandcream with me and I went home.

Bath, sleep, went through scalings + 2 pieces, lunched, then
went out for my cello class which is so funny funny.

I was in home clothes so first was the receptionist.
She asked why I still have holidays, and I just shrug my shoulders.
Then was Mr Voo, while I took out my cello, he asked also why
I don't have school, then I said don't feel like going so don't go loh.
Haha, he actually took my words and believed!
No wonder he got an E for econs at A lvl! tsk. Credibility!?

~~So dumb~~ Oh cannot say that cause he taught me so much
stuff that you can't possibily imagine. Talirimakiganuqaksigoxt!

Well, but anyway, I'm gladdy gladdy.
Cause there's advance lessons for me for a whole month!
Which means two classes per week! (1.5hours! yippe!)
And I'm gonna learn vibrato next lesson, or so he promised.
really wish I can keep up to everyone's expectations.*

gtg t21 now bye!

2008-06-25T17:33:00.007+08:00

Yes, just as you were guessing,
only 4 papers are gone by now.
Left with Chinese and Chem SPA now.
Its gonna be great isn't it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag replies:
Chuqing - haha, ya, my dad is an all-in-one!
Ru - I'm waiting for the vids as well (:
Gotta post it for others to critic on!
ren - my 5y.o. cousin draws 10x nicer.
hosheng - Can imagine your desk!
guang - Yes! Han-na Chang sure is fantastic!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, was harbouring the thought of crashing SP on monday
together with Vivi and Jacq, their idea, not mine!
I just merely agreed to it, waha.
Mainly for food, but I wanna see their lectures too...

Last but not least, just want to thank the prayers
that you people poured in.*

Dad's birthday

2008-06-19T20:07:00.000+08:00

-Oh yes! and Yesterday was actually my dad's birthday!
Only realised it on the car just now! whoops!
So sorry daddy! Still love you as my
1. best daddy
2. atm machine
3. music-fanatic
4. all time critic
5. bible story sharer
6. life-time teacher
7. debator
8. once-in-a-blue-moon chef
9. and the list goes on

Oh and that very fateful day. The performance was so screwed!
And i was on the stage, everything was like blank out!
I only recovered after the first piece the second piece.
Arrrgghhh~ I just need it to be perfect for once!
But the second and last one was still swallowable.
Really enjoy performing. Esp for church events! learn so much!
Hope that the diners were busy eating, and can't catch errors.
Luckily Qiurong, sophia and clarice helped to cover my errors. :P
I've gotten two very lousy recordings which i did put on youtube.
So do critic to help us improve.
I'll remove them when i've gotten the better quality ones.
We shall be available for bookings for prog from weddings to funeral.
So do feel free to drop us a booking via my email, with details.

and yes, kairen's ugly drawings, he requested it posted, so:

okok, i know they were too ugly, so to neutralise it, we have:

Yes, she's inspiration.*

Call it whatever you feel like naming it

2008-06-18T10:13:00.008+08:00

-sure you can guess the caption.

Just replying tags:
Qiuru - Yes darl, I love your dance too!
When you get the videos from Huiling send me k?
Siyuan - I got God accompanying me! :P
Kaisiong - Yah, what have the sunday school teachers taught her?
Hosheng - Then I suppose your table to be as messy as hers right?
Christine - haha, thanks sweetie (:
I wished I had bought that pair of shades too.*

Father's day is good. Gave him my hand-made card (:

The videos are up on Youtube, but I'm still waiting for the
full and better one to be sent over. (: Just so you know.

Nocturne in C-sharp Minor

2008-06-12T00:39:00.004+08:00

-But she's REALLY good at it.
And every single note is from the bottom of her heart.

Midori's playing composes your heart beat,
controls your breathing.

Sheeeeesh, I need the tissue paper now.*

Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker

2008-06-11T16:17:00.005+08:00

-Went around places today, free and easy.
Got myself a blue endpin stopper. Finally.Not that I like blue, but its the last one left.
And the new stock coming has no purple :(
Trying to get in the habit of 500ml H2O daily.
But belgian chocolate latte makes me feel like puking. My sis IS really messy like anything. Bless me being able to be in the half same room as her!Phew, love the 12 cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic.*

Ponder.

2008-06-10T11:40:00.001+08:00

-There is no such thing as holidays.
It's just the absence of school and recess.*

And all others.

2008-06-09T21:38:00.007+08:00

-Practice sessions, camp, dogs, Gelare, Narnia, chocs...

My pathetic cello was chipped and a little worn.

During an unusual practice session.

Qiurong on Sophia's piano,

Sophia on my cello

and me on qiurong's trumpet.

Esther tried out my cello during tong gong ying.

I still love my cello best (Great photographer - esther)Mommy and me, 30min waiting for dad to fetch us home and still smiled.

D'oh, the tong gong ying was a great success. Love it.

And if you're dying to listen to this before our performance...

Suggestions to improve are more than welcome.*

Mini Ikea

2008-06-06T20:05:00.004+08:00

-Went out with Clarina and after that Shuwen today.

Got my shirt and a skirt for my sis too. (It's GSS!)

Had spaghetti and meatball for lunch at Ikea and walked around.

Audrey Hepburn's da beszt.

Then bought icecream there. Its sosososososososososososo NIZCE!

Really really love the ice cream.

Shuwen with her Ice cream.

Mine.

Then went to Anchor Point.

And then to Bugis Junction. Saw a very pretty hat.

And then saw nice fountain.

So *snapped* - Shuwen and I

Catch up with each other a lot.

Then wanted to go Bukit Panjang Plaza.

But too tired, so might as well... haha ya, home.

Practiced a little just now. Improvments needed (D'uh).

Am wearing my long lost fbt now. How i wish it was gone forever.*

Practices

2008-06-04T14:30:00.003+08:00

-Yesterday's practice was a great breakthrough (at least, to me).
Manage to play finish the Ye He Hua De Xin and half of Shi Ai.
It's so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so FUN!
I learnt so so so so so so so so so so many stuff!
Just like my dad say, playing in a group teaches you different things.
different from practicing individually.
INDEED.
Well, three more practices to come before the real thing. So excited.
Shall remember to buy rum 'n raisin the next time (:

And you know what? Kranji SJAB brought back medals again
for the FAC just passed! So proud of them!*

Gelare

2008-06-01T23:23:00.002+08:00

-Many Thanks, to whoever it may concern.

"Also if you loved this piece,
allow me to recommend
Dvorak's 8th symphony 4th movement,
and Ma Vlast by Smetana."

Can't wait for tues practice and Gelare!
Hey, its God's work k. So he will help us de.*

Janine

2008-05-29T14:27:00.002+08:00

-Oh, and did I mention about the part whereby I met Janine?

Yes on the bus.

No, not the previous time.

But again. Yes, again! In three days. haha. Kinda fun.

Esp when you see those schoolmates whom you crap

and laugh with so much on the past.

She's doing mass comm now. And her school is near to BT market!

Which means good food is within her reach everyday.

Well, wish her all the best, with her candles too.

Ya, that's her blog. Since I can't rip her pic off.

Love brainiac

Nalgene

2008-05-29T13:47:00.005+08:00

-Ok, officially lost my Nalgene bottle after donkeyhonkey years.
~~Delibratedly~~ Incidentally left it in one of the teacher's drawer
or is it on the steel railings? or is it in the bus-stop? or... don't know.
But anyway, I'm gonna get myself a new one!
Heard of Siyuan's story of her 3 nalgene bottle.
And so I shall not get a pink one. Purple perhaps? :)

Practice yesterday was so enriching! Learnt so much.
Esp when Sophia transpose the piece for you!
Can't thank her enough. hehe. So to do so, we shall make her
perform with us for the lunch-time performance! Whee! Good idea.
I still like ye he hua de xin and amazing grace. nicenice.

Done with Chem mock paper. It's much much better than i imagined.
But back to the main point, we have to study to make it easy.
Miss Teo said :"Use BRAIN!" tsk. Brains.
Everyone has one, but not all use it wisely and widely.
Just then, I thought of a simple paragraph I came out with while
listening to Suite #4, gigue (I think) on the bus back to cck.

Why do we have tuition thrice a week,
and two hours each?
Why are music lessons fornightly,
and only forty-five minutes?

okok, I stopped til there. Shall continue when inspiration comes.
Love suite 6 prelude so many many.*

Tuesday Tibits

2008-05-28T09:31:00.005+08:00

-Fun day out with Siyuan on a foodie trip and partial window shopping.

Met her after school aka Bio Mass Lecture

Had waffles and ice cream at Gelare first. Shared half each. Yummy.

She brought me to That CD Shop, big, but rather disorganised.

My main destination is still HMV in heeren.

Walk and talk, and met this tall bell tower, with a clock.

Siyuan and I

Then we headed to Wisma, just as it is gonna rain.

Seeked shelter at Ding Tai Feng (what an excuse). hehe.

Siyuan loves DTF

So do I!

The food there is so good. As from her recommndation.

Had mushroon noddles

and 10 dumplings (shared, of course).

Siyuan loves unglam pics.

So she shot me too.

She's really a 'jiang'-fan.

~~Only 2 more left!~~ There are still two more Dumplings!

Went around looking at pretty clothes and Miss Selfridge have 50% off.

She explained difference between beautiful and pretty.

Then finally, reached HMV! Horaay!~

Haven't been there for donkey years, so lost my way.

Luckily Siyuan brought me there, haha.

Spent a long time choosing my Bach Suite.

So tempted to get Rostropovich, just as Mr Voo advised, but its EMI.

And I can't load EMI into the itunes, much less my ipod.

So after testing all those CDs and listening so ever painfully,

chose Ralph Krshbaum! Attended one of his Dvorak concerts.

Hehe, I wanna break my QT record!*

Meiqiao

2008-05-26T17:57:00.002+08:00

-Met Janine aka Meiqiao, just now on the bus.

So ~~suay~~ coincidental can!

She went back to collect her testimony.

I should do that soon too =)

That gives me a reason to return to Kranji.
Preferrably on a mon/wed/fri, when there is tom yam!

Celebrated Sophia's birthday on 18 may (I know that's donkey years ago.)

And its really fun, with good food, rounds of mafia, and nice Prima cake!

Supposed to be a surprise party, but she's just too glad to be shocked.

Opppss! Just remembered I have to pay CK 5 bucks!

Went to Informatics yesterday.

But no one else was there to play badminton with me,

so I did my work by myself there instead. (with occasional help)

Esther is such a foot fetish, or rather, she loves vintage pics.

D'oh, I'm swallowing Haribo.

The nice Haribo sweet =)

I'm currently using your daily walk, gift from Sophia.

And i realise that all the books I'm using is from Zondervan. =)

Pr Timonty & Pr Tracey's wedding

2008-05-25T21:52:00.002+08:00

- Yup, its the special Preacher-s wedding held yesterday!

Namely Pr Tang & Pr Lee, aka, Pr Tracey & Pr Timonty.

Here are the pictures:

We went there earlier for the performance practice,

so there are lots of time for pictures before weding!

Qiurong and Siyuan

And of course, one with me =)

Pr. Lui and his pretty Wife.

Paya Lebar Methodist is really huuugggeeee!

Pictures under the arches.

That pretty toy house.

Jump shots trial.

I'm a good jump-shot photographer!

And a good jumper, I suppose.

Love the colors. Fly off.

With the teacherous three!
Siyuan trapped in Spaceship 35221Y-PU

Irresistable 7-seater.

Wedding is about to begin. A holy Matrimony.

Sorry, the view from my seat is a really bad one. Exchanging rings.

The food is FANTABULOUS! Esp. the smoked salmon and brocolli!Qiurong and Siyuan playing Bollywood-style hide-&-seek
Us too black
Me, Siyuan and Qiurong
Esther, and Siyuan, when we were back at Tradehub.

Sophia was giving me impromptu guitar lesson in 20 min...

And Me, with that guitar.

I thought I'll never touch guitar again for the rest of my life.

Wake

2008-05-21T14:19:00.005+08:00

-Someone has just ~~died~~ passed away nearby my flat.

Cause there's been some procession going on and I can hear music.

It sort of reminds me of the time Qiurong, Sophia and I

practiced Amazing Garce, just for fun. Of course.

Wonder if we can play it for real at someone's wake.

The music is going on and off.

Would someone please ~~employ~~ let us perform in their wake.

The music sound a little buddist-like.

How I wish they were christians.

And its so wierd. It sounds a little hyped-up.

With drums and someone speaking, and a little brass.

Which sounds muted, and was that erhu I hear?

Is that someone mummbling and some singing?

and there's cymblas. Like crashing pots and pans. Ouch.*

Death waltz

2008-05-20T21:49:00.004+08:00

-As promised, for Clarice:
Why didn't you believe me in the first place?
Now you have to play this for me as punishment =)

Good luck!
Clue: You'll have to find a way to put 4 half notes that don't overlap
into one 4/4 measure, but and you'd need to find a way to play them in
that bar, back in the last system and also in the next one.

And the fun part is to play a 66/66!

JYF

2008-05-19T19:25:00.005+08:00

- Went or William and Siska's wedding on Satuday.

It was at Salvation army with deep hot whether.

It was very pretty. But I didn't go for the wedding dinner. hehe.

Cause I didn't know my parents were going too.

Me and Siyuan

Me, Siyuan and Esther The greentea advertiser - Esther

Ripped from Ivy's blog:

Ivy and Kaisiong dueted Canon!

Pianist Ivy Lee.

The Couple with S-word EFC.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

On Monday (a.k.a Today), We met up to "shop".
Supposed to buy a lot of stuff, but ended up none of us did.
Maybe except for Doreen's strawberry Lipbalm.
That synthetic black pants of mine was too big for me,
and there's no size 6 around =(
Doreen trying on those "housefly-eyes-size" sunglasses.And finally, there's me. hehe. I look wierd.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Then we went to Island Creamery.
Funnily, we missed the station and had to take a bus back.
Qiurong, Doreen and Esther took one bus. Qiuru and I took another shorter route one.
Had Mudpie. It's super duper yummy. hehe.
Then its group picture time. But I left before the guys arrive.
They are really too slow, and I'm rushing for time.
(GP paper this thursday leh.)
And we found another EFC picture on Island Creamery wall.
With people like Yinhuan, Wenguang, Mark, Bihua and Yanni.Apparently, the guys got off 4 stops late too. And so I left.
Me, Qiuru, Esther, Doreen, and Qiurong.Blurry me, Qiuru, Esther, Doreen and Qiurong.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank God for Good JYF friends, and nice icecream.
Thank God for time to study.
Thank God for buses to travel around.
Thank God for phone and camera.
But, why did those Cyclone and earthquake happened?
(wish I had known why he allowed so many innocent ones to die)*

p.s. Sorry people, tell me if you want those pic.
Add me at cellistee@hotmail.com then I send to you via msn k?

Girls afternoon out.

2008-05-16T21:46:00.005+08:00

- Haha, ya, it's been really fun going out with Clarice + Esther.

The crazy group of us.

In three different uniforms. ltr: cjc, huayi, christchurch

Ltr: Me, Clarice and Esther

A failed one

But I like this the most

All the suan-ing and crapping... hehe. Love it, so away from studies.

We bought Sophia her pretty presents!

Apparently, Clarice really really loves Ichiban's tuna sushi.

I bought the friend cheese and Esther tried the goreng pisang.

As recommended by Siyuan, and its really nice!

Lessons been quite fine.

Mr Voo is really quite strict but I learnt a lot.

Hate my Fingers!

They are so short that I have problems with extentsions!

Apparently, the school's cello sounds really nice =)

Don't know, maybe its just me.

Cause of school, I can't bring mine for lessons.

Say bye to my dear Synwin violin for two whole years. *muacks*

Hope the Qiu-s will take good care of it =)

Qiuru hold the violin very nicely. So just *snapped*

Sigh, have to go all the way to Gramercy to get my cello books.

Who wants to accompany me?*

Yah, but again!?

2008-05-11T21:08:00.007+08:00

It's Happy Mommy Day!
But mom's in Hongkong, happily shopping away now...
Was glad to have her on the phone just now, to say
Happy Mommy Day, and I love you!
I made a card for her and buying her a cake when she returns.

- 3logy week is coming in just two days' time!
Things are still left undone...
But still, thanks to Tiara's great help!!! Thanks!
Ten fingers, one brain, two eyes and two ears.
I can't really multi-task as much.

Done some homework with Qiurong in LJS just now.
Before that was food hunt! yummy.
Then we treat ourselves to Diaso, but decided to come again
to buy those stuff, since the queue was sooooo loooonggg!
We were planning on pieces to play for the lunch-time concert...
Lots of funny ideas, but not confirmed. Any ideas?
I think the performance is gonna be fun!
Think about it... a Trumpet-cello duet? haha. Impossible is nothing!

Something like that? ^
or that? ^ lol.
oh well, I'm sure we'll get it sorted out.
And practices should be during the holidays in that case.

Exams are driving at a real high speed towards me.
I don't know. Maybe its just me.
Revisions undone, homework in a mess...
...talking about homework! Bye now!*

Hmmm... And I'm saving up for my Bach's 6 suite CD
+ Maybe another Han-na Chang's Antonio?

And the set of new cello books awaiting me next week! Die.

Pray people, pray! It works wonders! Thanks!

Not enough

2008-05-09T18:43:00.003+08:00

Can't get enough of:
1) Vengerov

2) Han-na Chang

3) Pure and sweet music

God Bless Singapore, and all the other nations.

Dad once said that once a Korean decided to be an instrumentalist,
they would really make the best instrumentalist. AGREED.*

Sports carnival

2008-05-02T21:36:00.003+08:00

-It's sports carnival today! Very fun indeed! (as acompared to lessons)

Morning bliss...

Preparation to run at the track

Qiao yi's half face + beautiful scenery

Vivienna and Tyas

Tyas and I (but she binked wrong timing =(

I joined the eco-challenge! I'm very surprised by that fact myself!

It's tiring + dehydrating + brain-nacking + interacive experience.

Me, Liwen, Praveen and Menveer joined.

They are all from senior T25 class. So it's kinda fun.

And Menveer is the president head of student council! om.

Guys are born-runners, so Liwen & I had a hard time catching up.

But we won 5th position! Good job done.

Our class and the senior class got 1st in floor ball! hehe!

Then Vivi and I went bt market for lunch.

Had many many food while introducing to her good stalls.*

Duets

2008-04-29T20:14:00.004+08:00

- Yup, it's music day last saturday and me and qiurong

decided to practice some duet pieces before the programme.

(of course, just for fun)

So we tried Amazing Graze.

Sophia helped us to arrange the piece for trumpet and cello.

So Qiurong played main melody and me the bass. (duh!)

Practicing has never been THIS fun. Seriously.

Especially when you're playing christian pieces.

When can we practice again?

So here are some great potential instrumentalists =)

Siyuan (she's very used to holding the violin bow)

The funny duo

Doreen

Esther

I really love my cello.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Went to Qiurong's concert on Sunday. It's fantastic.

Peter and The Wolf was hilarious

The Year of the Dragon was superb

Buka something was fabulous

Rising of Lazarus was vivid.

Bumblebee was shockingly good.

Jupiter was breath-taking

American Graffiti was happening.

The opening march was beaty.

Qiurong is pretty pretty!

haha, me and Clarice

black white black white black white
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dad's oversea now on a mission trip with the church.

Praying for him and everyone else.*

Before I went for my lesson last week, just some shots.

Beautiful eh! It's actually leaves... God's marvellous creation!

And thank God! I'm attaining Gold again =)

Qiurong's concert is coming!!!

Yihui is performing as well!

And this book is finally of good use.

Today's speech day is good.

And I really love this song: Mighty to save.

Sis has singing this song lots of times. haha. ya.

Jesus indeed has conquered the grave~!

And we sang this for singspiration just now =)

Qiurong played trumpet after fellowship due to strong

response from me and Sophia.

So we explored lots of things/music for about an hour!

Shall upload a short excerpt cause she don't want me to video =(

Love God many.*

If God had a farm.

2008-04-12T16:06:00.003+08:00

- It will consist of all of us,
and God being the good sheperd.

Last but not least... as promised for Nithya: rofl

rj reads 1 book in 4 days

2008-04-03T20:16:00.007+08:00

No joke.
Ask Sophia.

Concerts

2008-03-31T22:58:00.004+08:00

- Phew!
Suddenly everyone around me wants to
accompany me to concerts and all,
only after I've accompanied me, myself and I
for God-knows-how-long.

Well, just to clarify:
As is my condition now, I can't go for as much
concerts as I usually do, for the time being.
As suggested by Sophia, the 1-a-month policy.
That's what I'm ~~trying to~~ embarking on till end-of-A.
At most only 1 to 3 of them.
Deteriorating studies + increasing workload and all...

But just go to the concerts by yourself lah.
Or drag me your freinds along.

Alternatively, refer to those concert stuff I sent
and go to their website for even more concerts.
(p.s. save them into your favourites and just click off!)

So here are some examples:
http://scmapp.nus.edu.sg/events/eventcalendar/index.aspx
http://www.gatecrash.com.sg/?page=home
http://sgbandfusion.com/
http://www.sso.org.sg/
http://www.sistic.com.sg/

But anyway, I'm going for the aj symphonic band concert!
It's on 27th april, Sunday at 5.30pm
Republic Cultural Centre. tickets: 10 bucks
Qiurong is performing that day! And teacher Vig too.
If you want to get a ticket, just tag =)

I want to go for Elizabeth Tan graduate recital too!
But seems impossible though. Its on a weekday! =(
Have fun people.*

Giselle in the park

2008-03-29T22:11:00.005+08:00

- Pretty ballet dipicting a very sad love story.

Went to watch it with Shuwen yesterday.

It was so fun! But a little dizzling before the dance started.

We went there for a dinner picnic too!

With lots of food of course.

There were many people there too.

And the ballerina rehearsaling.

Took all these pictures before it was too dark.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Keyboardist training is so super interesting.And Clarice gave me 'the entertainer' coaching too.
But so far I've only covered the right hand fingering.

Bio lessons have never been any more interesting.Especially after Mdm Normala.*

In the library lab now

2008-03-26T14:52:00.002+08:00

- Yep, supposed to do the pw research now,
but can't open up that hard work of mine. =(
So, would rather blog.
Haha, hannah being hannah!

And the person to my right is um-chio-ing! haha!
And I'll smile back. =) [But I don't know her~]
okok, cause I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do.

Sigh.

Project work is so tough!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran 9 rounds around the track today! Phew!
So amazing! And 2 sets grandstand + 3 sets of rubbish pt.

Pant.

Mass PE is tougher.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And cca later. =(
I really miss Band and trumpet 002.
Beginning to feel that environmental society is a burden,
(though I've only been to one meeting!)
Not that I hate it,
but I really ~~love~~ miss Band.

Shake head.

Forgetting about Band is toughest!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Flu + sorethroat is almost gone now! Yipee.
class is saturday is gonna be fun.
Cause I haven't really practiced yet. =P

Parent-teacher meeting later.
gtg.*

Good Friday, Ester Sunday

2008-03-23T15:27:00.004+08:00

- Fellowship was good.
(Clarice and Brahm dueted entertainment!)
Washing of feets. or for that matter, feet.
Prayers.
As can be named.

My teacher is leaving Singapore in April for 3 months.
So there'll be a teacher taking over temporarily :(

Apparently, he works for the army. That's why.

Really hope its a teacher who has taken me before.
But I'll still have to practice anyway.
(Please let it be Miss ONG!!! - the music school's principal!)

Ester Sunday:
Sunday school students are so cute.
Never regret helping out.
And Coffee bean pastries! (smoke salmon)
And of course, to rush homework now.

He is risen from the dead and he is Lord!
Every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess,
that Jesus Christ is Lord.

So bye for now. *

Past recital pictures

2008-03-21T17:48:00.004+08:00

-Oh ya, and some pictures taken during the oboe + bassoon recitals.

The Oboe trio with Elizabeth Tan as cellist! (A little unclear)

Bassoonist: Yihui's bassoon tutor, Yap Peiying.

And bassoon trio

Yihui and I

A.O.s: The Japanese version of Calbee!*

Maundy Thurs + Good Fri

2008-03-21T15:11:00.003+08:00

- Didn't regret going for service yesterday instead of Cellisimo!
It's really good and I liked the prayer meeting part.
The sermon was very enriching too =) Reminds me of how
Jesus really go onto the cross for us, 2000 years ago.

After which, me and Doreen went over to Siyuan's house
for a sleep-over. It's so super funny! Doreen and her stories!

But before that, we went for a movie - The Orphanage.
Vrey nice yet eriee. The director is really good.

We had Udon + miso at 3.20am in the morning. haha.
Ya and so I'm kindof tired now.

But since I'm still guilty of not revising bio as promised,
I guess it's time I do something.
The extra bio lesson was good and Mr Goh said I better
start revising everything N.O.W.

Had Delifrance for lunch, so filled. Siyuan is so fortunate.
I wouldn't survive under Doreen's sister!

Only had 1 day of practice this week and I'm suppose to
finish up the cello studies by tomorrow. So dead!*

To God be the Glory.

school

2008-03-19T19:29:00.003+08:00

- Meeting Mr Goh tomorrow before maundy thurs service.
For bio of course. I'm really drowning in it!

School work has been pouring in, and I'm really exhausted.
four H2 isn't fun at all!
Gotten my chinese book from Inez. Million thanks!

The bassoon & oboe recital is very nice too!

Yihui's bassoon tutor was performing. So she went.

There were only about fifteen people attending that recital!

But I liked the grand concerto by Hummel many many.

The oboe-ist is super funny.

He was dressed in this the baroque-style costume together

with the accompanist. It's super hilarious.

I thought the Sonatine and nine variations were pretty good.

Oh ya, and the fantabulous Krishbraum concert!
He and that Montag Cello! Oh whoosh!
Yo-yo Ma has got the Montag Petunia one! I want one too!

Met cello teacher at clementi before the concert.
Apparently, he went for the concert too.

He promised that if I finish the whole page of cello studies

by this saturday, I can learn other stuff. Finally.

After the intermission, a head popped up: Ryan.
So scary yet pleasant to know that another friend is watching
such marvellous concert too! Krish is really really good!
But I guess not as good as when he was much younger.

No more stoning and concerts for me anytime soon.
So much for getting good grades!*

Homework

2008-03-16T21:55:00.008+08:00

- Chiong-ed hols homework in church just now.
It was so fun and good. Learnt a lot from them.

ok, Life is not that bad after all.
God's grace brought me through.*

But why must Maundy thursday and Cellisimo clash?

Life so screwed

2008-03-15T11:38:00.002+08:00

1) Bus arrives exceptionally late
2) Suddenly become lingshi for the next day.
3) Late for chem class
4) Only have less than an hour for practice

Nails

2008-03-13T12:56:00.004+08:00

Dear Nails-from-the-West:

Should I coat a pretty layer on you
OR
Should I trim you off neatly?

Confused,
Fingers-from-the-East.

Econs project @ Pulau Ubin

2008-03-12T15:23:00.006+08:00

- Went to Pulau Ubin Yesterday for Econs project.

I'm really so busy with hols, so let's see what the pictures

and videos can tell you about my wake-up-at-6am trip.

Upon arrival to Pulau Ubin

Pretty quarry

Neethia and I after the long cycle.

National Parks information centre

Video as we walk out of the "woods"

Our group filming very hardworkingly.

On the way back, Xueting and Richmand

So after the Pulau Ubin trip, We headed home.

Xueting was really sick and shivering on the bus!

Then Neethia and I Mrt-ed back to the west side of Singapore.

We really wish that Clearence's organs are dug out by Vultures!

If you notice, he is not in any pictures, and hence.

It's a long story... (but I love this illustration!)

After which, I got home to find a sick but equally annoying sister.

She was caught in the rain after Indian dance and maths.

So she didn't go to the T'ang Quartet's performance.

The minuets from anna's notebook is nice and their pizz.

I want to have good tonality like Leslie!

And I'm trying real hard to listen to individual parts again.

Teacher Vignesh went with me, so it was still quite enjoyable.

He's really such a teacher la! haha. Learnt quite some stuff.

And apparently, he'll be taking grade 5 theory this sat!

Oh my,I think I'll take 10 years to reach there!

Then on the bus, this little girl vomitted!

I think everyone's sick yesterday! Bad weather to blame!

So today is a stay home wednesday! Yipee!

More time for homework + cello.*

Group Outing

2008-03-12T15:03:00.000+08:00

- Last Saturday, we had group outing!

Two groups went Zoo, one group went Botanics,

and guess what, my group went... NUS!

Yep, our original science centre plan wasn't available,

so ended up going to NUS to talk walk and rot.

It was fun, nevertheless, eye-opening.

And best of all, it's Chuqing's and Sophia's school-to-be!

Only Chuqing, Sophia, Esther and I went, ~~gladly~~ sadly.

We went to UCC first and watched NUS dance ensemble.

Dance programme titled Evocation.

It was nice, but quite sick, for that matter of fact.

But anyway, after which, we went to Yong Siew Toh!

And took our group photos there!

This is a failed one

ltr: chuqing, esther, sophia and me

Modeling: Esther

Then, suddenly, we were all starving, so we headed uphill.

Bought Subway, and headed back to Yong Siew Toh.

(they thought we were NUS students and gave us 20% off)

So we had a sweet dunch at above the stairs at yst.

The scenery is too good.

Modeling: Chuqing

Sophia's and Esther's hearty dunch talks. And their wierd poses!

So we took group photo no. 2
Yet another failed but funny group photo.

And, of course, a good one.

And some more random pictures.

We walk toured around yst and the place is so quiet!

Unlike the usual concert crowd.

The security guard looked at us like we were JI!

Hahaha. So I didn't take any pictures there. lol.

okok, so the place is very pretty.

Next, we wanted to have more food, but decided that

maybe the food store isn't open.

So we went to Clementi.

Re-wind: before heading there, we shot more.

Chuqing loves deep thoughts~

I love Krish many many!

Esther loves Emo-ism...

Sophia disapeared*

And so I hear more of fellowshipping sermons these sundays,

and thought they were really really good.

I do think I have to do something to my group.

But what?

Foot note: Dear Esther, please rip the pics off from here =)

(i) Let Pn be the statement
"holidays = homework days"
for days€infinitive

When days = 1,
LHS = holi1
RHS = homework1
= holi1
=LHS
Therefore, P1 is true and form the basis for induction.

Assume PK is true for some K€infinitive
i.e. holiK = homeworkK

Required to prove PK+1 is also true,
i.e. holiK+1= homeworkK+1

LHS = holiK+1
= holi(holiK)
= homework(homeowrkK)
= homework x homeworkK
= homeworkK+1
= RHS

Therefore, PK is true => PK+1 is also true.

Hence by mathematical Induction, Pn is true,
for days€infinitive.

(ii) Since holi K+1 = homoework K+1
holidays x holidays
= 2 holidays
= 2 many homework
= really a lot of homework

Therefore, holidays = many homework.
(proven)

Holidays =

A.Os: Yo-yo Ma's primary performance instrument is the Domenico Montagnana 1733 cello built in Venice and nicknamed Petunia. This cello, more than 270 years old and valued at US$2.5 million, was lost in the fall of 1999 when he accidentally left the instrument in a taxicab in New York City. It was later recovered undamaged.

-fellowship is really important, just so i realised.
They are the ones who send-umbrella-during-a-storm. Anyway, the movie screening on sat was good.

The following is for my dear sister-on-christ: Esther
(Just save the pic into your com from here, as promised)
She really loves my specs.
Apparently, she looks cute in my specs.

Today in church, while waiting for the lift...
My silly sis
and I

I love Nature Valley!
Bought Tickets to Giselle in the park for me and shuwen!

The concert yesterday was SUPERB!
Elizabeth Tan is fantabulous! + Haydn!
Their encore piece was from Pirates if the carribean.
And I met my teacher after the performance.
Actually NUSSO is not bad already, considering that
everyone there don't major in music.

Thank God for good music,

Thank God for evil sister,

Thank God for Fellowship!*

Cello class today

2008-03-01T11:58:00.007+08:00

- Today's class is good!
Learn so much and tonation is so much better.
The 14 hours is not wasted after all!

Mr Chan is performing for the concert later!
It turns out that he was the from NUS' orchestra for 6 years.
And is in the alumni orchestra now. What a teacher!
Still can't belive that.
I want to be in NUS symphony orchestra as well!
That's one more to my dream column.

But I'll be going to the concert later anyway.
It'll be good, especially when Elizabeth Tan is the soloist!
It's a Haydn piece.

Beethoven and Strvinsky is up later too.
And he said they prepared a funny piece for encore!

I'll be doing an advance lesson next week.
+ have to finish up so many homework! Phew!

Off to fellowship now!*

- Today is the finale night for the orientation! But guess what...

I skipped it all right! (For better good)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wrote little notes and gave away pretty clips for cj trumpeters!

Guess that's the only pull factor of cj, other than the food!

Cj band really show me what true music making is.

They performed two pretty pieces during cca bazaare on friday.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went for movie screening of Hilary and Jackie last Sunday!

It's so nice! Worth my time applying for the approval to watch it!

Cause it's restricted viewing. And it's one of the few movie I cried.

It's the one and only NC16 I viewed! 100 stars to it!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is during the last few days of school!

Don't bother finding me in any. I'm not in them all.

My two fantastic form teachers: Miss Yang and Mr Nathan

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went Anderson to appeal on Wednesday then went out with Siyuan.

We watched Jumper. A very interesting show. First movie of 2008!

And then MOS burger for dinner!

And she got higher distinction for high school english standard!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dad sent sis to Indian Dance then me for cello today morning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Missed teacher's quartet's performance today for fellowship!

I'm so wei da! haha. Really contradicting though.

At 2pm, four things are going on for me to choose:

1. Cj orientation at East Coast Park

2. Teacher's performance at Esplanade Library!

3. Alumni Meeting at Kranji

4. Fellowship committee meeting at T21

So of course I chose the hard thing to do - go for fellowship.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear heavenly father, I love you. I really do.

And I love fellowship too. (At least I'm trying)*

congratulations, its celebrations.

2008-02-19T17:16:00.003+08:00

Broken String

2008-02-16T19:38:00.003+08:00

How careless of me!
Have to buy a new set asap.

Happy Valentines!

2008-02-14T18:40:00.004+08:00

Happy Valentines Day people! Yes, its valentines.

Everyclass have to do a star to hang in the parade square.

Anyway, this is Diana's pretty handwriting!

I finally passed my econs test with a 9/10.

Petunia gave me a "currypuff" on my hair today

with my new purple clip bought with Dixin!

It's during break, so I looked kinda funny.

And I hate maths! It's gving me bad headache!

Especially sigma and g.p!

Saturday is gonna be my last band practice.

So I shall hunt for some things for the trumpet section!

Especially to Vignesh!

He's so strict! And I owe him a lot, a lot.

God's been so good.

His grace is sufficient for me.

So I'm not that scared of the posting now.

Cause no matter what, he has a plan.*

Chem practical

2008-02-12T18:29:00.000+08:00

- Went to the sixth storey of cjc for chem spa!

This is an artistic burette tip!

Yah well, so we did two experiments. Titration = fun!

So chemistry lab is ok. Very big and no funny smell.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

During econs lecture...

I brought the malt vitasoy in. But Mr Nathan was too busy.

And that Performing Arts Centre!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Went Far East and Taka just now.

And shy Dixin is going to perform in the Chingay Parade!

So remember to watch it on tv, 15,16 feb!

Well, Yihui and I went The Better Toy Store again!

And got a lot of Valentines gift!

We even got something for our class from Taka! Cheers people!

And we had so much food today too(again)!

Yihui is so excited for Valentines! lol!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Sunday, went in to Malaysia again for a short while.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right, right, right people.

Bio test tomorrow!!! Econs test tomorrow!!!
Gonna fail them flat again! Yipee!

And I skipped chinese lecture yesterday. Funny huh!?*

Blog skin

2008-02-11T21:28:00.000+08:00

-Ok, I've decided to do something to my blog skin,
after receiving so much complaints about it.
So here's the new one.
Please tell me if fire fox can view it.
Thanks.

I 've adjusted some of the previous post to all black.
So which one do you prefer? Please comment.
Colored one like this or the ones below?

Meanwhile, is this blog skin ok?

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year!
Have been very busy, so will post about the
CNY celebrations when I have the time.

Oh and, Happy Valentines!

I ate 3 bucks BaChorMee today!
Yah, I also think I'm crazy too!*

Jackie, Yo-yo and mstislav

2008-02-03T18:34:00.000+08:00

- Have been listening to so much recordings.
Though Vicknish kept emphasising that I should
listen to pieces other than cello, I can't.
(He has so many trumpet recordings in his ipod too!)

So here are some of the three best I love so much:
1. Yo-yo Ma's Cello Concerto 3rd movement by Elgar

Apparently, this is one of the few pieces my dad
thinks is really good on Yo-yo Ma.

Bet he hasn't heard it played by Jacqueline!

2. M. Rostropovich's Cello Concerto No.1 by Haydn

3. Last but not least, my favourite... Jacqueline Du Pré's
Sonata No.3 in A II. Scherzo by Beethoven.

This one is wonderful, beautiful and heartbreaking.
You are strongly encouraged to read about her biography.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Think about this...
if Dimitri Shostakovich, Luigi Boccherini, Pablo Casals,
Jacqueline du Pré, Yo-yo Ma, Mstislav Rostropovich,
Julain Lloyd Webber, Jean-Louis + Jean-Pierre Duport,
and all the what not gather together in the same era,

1. History would be re-written
2. Massive deforestation would take place
3. A lot of horses would have their tails chopped
4. Lots of dead finger cells would be peeled
5. Composers would make big money
6. Scholarships would be so difficult to be attained
7. Luthiers would be so rich
8. Davidov and Duport Stradivarius would cost
100 times their value now!
9. Recording studios would be flooding
10. First, second and third cello would exist in orchestras
and the list goes on...

Guess I'll only see it in heaven then.
When the cellist in Heaven unite!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Going to Simlim Square someday to get that ipod.
Collecting that stupid specs tomorrow.
My last Band practice would be on that fateful
Saturday: 160208.*

I think,
I am,

with Band.

Love it so deep,

Heart aches so bad,
tired and sad.

I'm sure,
I am,

Topic

2008-01-28T21:25:00.000+08:00

- I realised something:

I can't understand why, but here's the truth.
I can't talk to people I don't know,
and it takes me at least 3 days to talk to someone.

But when music is concern,
I can suddenly change personality.
And kept blabbering on and on.
And talk to complete strangers!

Yihui said she thought I was a super quiet girl
during the few days when I sat beside her.
But one question changed everything:
"Do you go for concerts?" I asked randomly,
while looking through the esplanade booklet
in search for a concert to go for.
"ya..." came the monotonous and dead voice.
Then whatever could happen, happened.
She said I was like a talking machine,
talking on and on and on, so talkative!
Am I? Oh dear.

Ya, and that's what happened, and is happening.

I do realise however, the first day I went to band,
I talked a lot, and can laugh normally like with Joey.
Cause its about music! classical music!
Musical instruments and making good music.

Sigh... and I realise very little people can stand this
music maddness of mine.
Probably only Joey and Shuwen can stand me.
And my condition is getting worse.
Yihui is still trying hard to get used to it.

Hope God can put more music fanatics around me!
And some great musicians who can teach me too!*

O's results

2008-01-28T20:07:00.000+08:00

- Skip school on thursday morning and went

straight to cck to meet Jiayin, Shuwen, Joey.

Ended up I went canteen alone to wait them.

Guess I was really starving!

So at 1.45, there was a prayer meeting and we

went into the hall awaiting for the ~~horruble~~ results.

There were some talks, then announcing of scholars.

As usual, there were: Yanchong, Sokting, Helen,

Yuhui, Zehang, Xiongjie, Michelle and a lot.

Most were from my class, 4F!!! Woot! Go 4F!

Then results slips given out by register number.

I walked up to Miss Lee and Miss Tan,

shake their hands with my cold clammy one,

took my two pieces of paper,

signed against my name,

and went back to my seat. Shiver, hyperventilate.

I took a long time before finally peeping the paper.

Eng: B3

Hum: A2

Em:A1

Am:A2

Chem: B3

Phy: B3

Bio:A2

Chi: A1

aural/oral: dist

After viewing my results, Helen asked me how it went.

I didn't know whether to be happy or not.

On one hand, it is God's grace that I got L1R5: 11

My initial calculation was 14 to 16 points.

On the other hand, I so want to get below 10 points.

That was what my parents wanted me to get too.

But nevertheless, I must really thank God.

I can't go throught O levels without him, REALLY.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And it was because I don't know if I'm sad or happy that I cried.

And Joey did very well too!

So did Jiayin, Weien and especially Shuwen!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, went lot 1 and IMM after that with the usual:

Shuwen, Jiayin, Weien. Joey went elsewhere =(

So here are the happy shots.

Jiayin + Weien

Me and Shuwen

Me, Weien, Shuwen, Jiayin

Me, Weien, Jiayin, Shuwen
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I received my CPB badge + cert that day too!!!

Rachel passed it to me and gave me a long hug! =P

--------------------------------------------------------------------

On friday, we had lingshi pactice at T21

So Ben and Sophia were there.

After the quick practice, Sophia went to dig out my cello.

So here's Sophia on Mr cello, and Ben on the guitar.

They tried playing Canon in D! lol.

It's the first time Sophia touch the cello, and she played this!

Bravo!!! *claps for both!*

Here's a more complete version of cello and guitar duet.

Then I went for cello lesson. It was such enjoyment!

After we finished two page of studies,

Mr Chan finally allowed me to do Perpetual Movement in D!

He thought it was a really boring piece.

I thought otherwise!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

On saturday, there was BAND!!! I love BAND!

Luckily dad drive me to school with the trumpet.

Phew. And I had diarreoh before that!

I managed to do a high C! Cheers to that!

So Vicknish came to teach me the chromatic sclaes.

It's so fun + challenging. Run out of breathe!

I was almost late for tuanqi, but thank God,

he planned everything. Cause dad happen to appear,

so he drove me there! Thank God 100%!

For fellowship was eat, drink, play, merriment.

So there were fun games and of course food!!!

Can' believe Brahm actually went nj! So jealous!

This is current and ex-tuan chang.

Qiuru splashing water on loser group.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ate 3 bucks Bah Cho Mee (bcm) today!

bcm = Bah Cho Mee = Bio, Chem, Maths (my combi!)

This is Xinhui, Meiyang and Petunia eating happily.

I'll miss 1T25! Most are going with their fantastic O's.

Some to acjc, vjc (serious!), nyjc, sajc etc...

Joana and Kita skipped school today.

Went off at 2.30pm half way through econs.

So i missed chinese and Pe, and reached home so early!

hehe. Maths test on thursday! jiteery.*

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Trumpet Masterclass

2008-01-23T23:11:00.000+08:00

- There is band practice today!!! So fun!!!

Left half way with Hongchow, Vicknish and a J3

to attend a trumpet masterclass by David Elton.

The others are still practicing in band room.

And the piece they were playing is marvellous!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

This is Pretty Petunia, the Feminine Flautist.

Me and Siyuan this Sunday during prayer meeting.
My first Econs test given by Mr Nathan:

--------------------------------------------------------------

Well, left a 6pm and reached Yong Siew Toh at 6.50pm.

Grabed some finger food and went for the class.

We were on time. And another AJ trumpeter joined.

David Elton was there early, and when we arrived,

he asked what each of us play.

Most were trumpet and thrombone, but

there was me cello, and two other violin and bass!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Two food you can't miss when you come cj:

Ba Cho Mee from Noodle King

Yong Tau Foo from Yong Tau Foo

They are F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------

A few Yong Siew Toh students played.

Another from Peabody and one other thrombone.

Then David asked if Hongchow would like to play,

and he did. Some notes and basic stuff.

I was so shocked and excited for him!

But if it's me, I'll play something too.

It's a once in a lifetime thing lah!

He played higher notes = more difficult.

But it sounded quite nice! What a senior!

So David gave us some stuff to practise on. So nice.

He's going to play Mahler's third with SSO this weekend.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Our class went for class outing yesterday to

Far East Plaza - Galera for ice cream!

I had waffle + Tiramisu Ice cream... Super nice!!!

These notes were written for the Noodle King uncle,

when he was sick and couldn't make noodles for us.

He's well now. Thank God for that.

We prayed for him during morning assembly.

------------------------------------------------------------

I've learnt a lot, and two points he said,

Vicknish brought it up during practice before that!

1) Be energy efficient - play the pitch accurately.

2) Listen to music of all instrument,

not just what you're learinng.

The whole masterclass was super informal. (I love it!)

So David Elton is talking to us face to face at just 3m.

I brought back the trumpet to practise.

Have to get full range C to C by sat!

Good thing there's no school on friday.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Getting O levels result tomorrow at 2.

But I'm glad God gave me peace.

That I'm not afraid even now.

Cause I know he has a plan.

And I've done everything.

So I'll just leave the rest to him.

Hallelujah.*

A.O: My arms are aching from holding the trumpet!

A.O: I love cj Symphonic Band big time!
