wow... 2 weeks neh... didn't blog... well.. its all the same reason.. EXAMS.. ok nevermind, leme tell you something kewl that happened last week wednesday, I was wondering why my vcr broke down(don't ask me why i still use it...) and left the switch on... I opened it up, stuck my hand in and POW, electrocuted...(yeah, zap, hair stood on ends..) whiped out my hand...(it was my 4th finger on the right hand..) and my left leg some how had enough power to kick and break the chair nearby...(O.O) well, lets say, our body recieves nerve messages through the nerveous system, whereby it sends ELECTRIC signals.. some how, the vcr was in frequency with the message of my leg kicking forward(it cramped up after that... ow) and with i duno how much ampheres...(it got past my body resistance against electricity... so should be i duno.. alot..) and whamz, alot more than the usual, sending my leg forward into a crazy powerful kick... immaging if one day... people attached powerbuffers to their spinal cord where by it sends the electric messages 100 times more powerful.... 1 punch can break their arm and destroy a building togeter perhaps...

Ok, exams over, finally, gota say... the teachers seems to have a problem with deciding the time given to the students to do their work... why?

Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology(i didn't take A maths... without learning functions and logs... wth am I? going it to scuicide?) all these papers were designed in such a way.. you had to skip questions... for maths, fine i skiped a few... but still seem short of time... must be my speed... never mind, PHYSICS, whoah, this one is funny, i knew the answers, but it seems that you need to write 300 words per minute or you'll never make it... yeah i left the last few pages blank... insufficient time... for chemistry, i wrote so fast i could have burnt the paper... in the end.... i missed out the last question(no time, that was a 10 mark question... blah) and finally biology, freak the teacher is insane... 1 hour 45 minutes... and the questions are like... so many of these kinda 1 mark 2 mark question.. and they are like... EXPLAIN DISCREETLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BLOOD PASSES THROUGH VALVE X, WHAT IS BODY PART LABLED Z FOR IN THE BODY, EPLAIN ITS COMPONENTS, i forgot about the funniest question... never mind... any way, i worked at light speed to the last question(1 answer for 2 marks needs like 200 words... wth...) and at the last question... half way through it... time's up, blehz, it'd take a mirical for me to ever complete any of these subject's papers in time... blehz....(Same goes for Chinese, but no, im just slow on chinese...) i wont comment about social studies.... cause then... i didn't bring my specs... nor watch.. so i totally hecked the time... most probably ima fail that.... shesh.... after all those practice with SS... blehz...

Anyway, i managed to grab a file on Suteki Dane(FFX Theme Song, the Kissing Scene with Tidus and Yuna) the INSTRUMENTAL version... no singer... seemed like pure acompanyment... yeah, auto-matically, whiped out my clarinet, practiced a bit... hey, i can do it!, ima try perfect this piece...(i don't have score... purely hearing...) my younger bro seems to have an intrest with playing the harmonica(the instrument you kiss it and breath in and out to play it..) he's just starting... some how he's blowing cords on it... XD (you can't blow cords on a harmonica...) well, ima change the bgm soon... nah ill change it now...sure hope this works... its gona be the Jazz classic, Take5!

Ok, today, i went to the movies..JurongPoint's Golden Village cinema, leme say, their service seems less up to standard than usual.. well, i bought a MatrixRevolution ticket(Everything that has a begining... has an end...) after getting to my seat... half way through the ... new movie advert.. (the torque thing... can't remember.. didn't bother too, sounds way to rubish like to be true.. you go at that speed.. yur blood cells will all fly to the back of yur body, and you'll be cooked when all the heat gets concentrated.. and coagulation begins, and fark you die if yur on earth at that speed.. 150 miles per SECOND, lmao... warp speed.... you gota relocate yur molecules before you can do that...) the film some how... CUT(snaped, broked, what ever you call it) and it took them like 10 minutes to get the movie going again..., and after that... during the "Fight through Hell" scene during Matrix Revolution.. the screen some how.... fadded green(lack of red light..)... sound faltered... then it was ok again... well luckily there were no more probs...

Finally.. alls said and well, time for me to shut up... don't worry, ill still blog... XD some time tomorow perhaps... good night all!

Wait wait wait.. Thoughts for the day....
Never try Never know... lmao, Guiness beer advert struct me kinda funnily... trust me, always know so you'll never try, understand this.... don't make a fool out of yurself, or make any stupid mistakes in life, some choices can never be ammended... need I say more?

Thursday... hmm kewl, i managed to find a day where by i have NOTHING TO SAY!, leme go over small details then... METICULOUSE... fine whatever, ok sorry, i think my memmory fuzzy, its jumbled up with plenty of events... what happened... hmm, oh yes, today, during PE, it was games, lets see, they were playing captain ball, 4 captains, 2 on each team, at either side of the court, the rules had been altered, nobody can step behing the white badminton line... cept for the captain... lots of people went and played... it was rather fun to spectate, better than playing if you ask me, but i cant really comment on that matter... i didn't play a single match... HEHHEHHEH, then it was maths.. ... err.. i duno what happened...,after recess... SOCIAL STUDIES..(english came first..) Mdm Serra gave us back our SS paper... irony, i scored full for the first question...one of the "few" mentioned by her.... shan't boast, big head makes you fall a greater fall... why only remember this? cause during english, it was realy boring... we were doing this stuff about the.... err... BAD VISIT TO RESTRAUNT something like that, a functional writing... Ms Ho asked to make notes, and we had to go over... how to make a proper introduction, how to start with first point, how to cover the points without spreading out and leaving out the elaboration...(this means pick 2 out of the few choices we thought of...) wait, wud rubish am i talking about.... thats yesterday, ok today(see i told you my head got problem.. btw, the real day today is Sunday 26th... yeah, its actually Monday 27th 12:40 am, and today(monday) i have my english and Chinese Paper 1...) ok, TODAY, stop repeating myself, yes i know, well, Ms Ho lesson(dun worry, the Mdm Serra part is right, only the Ms Ho part..) we did another draft on functional writing... about how to write to a person who donated a large sum of money to the club we were runing... how to specify the cash etc and how the money was spent, and how to invite him to blah blah(invite him to opening ceremony of a new watever we built with the money, as a matter of fact, its just bull shitting in the letter...such that such it must be contemplatable... err... conveyed to the examiner that its realistic.... so the bigger stuff... e.g. wave pool and yur sum of money you recieved is 7 million, the better) and after that, school over, went to the mrt station with a few kewl dudes... before that, we had lunch... ok, we went to burger king, i got a big fish meal(like Hong Wee) duno what the rest got, Jeremy had adjusted my bag strap to full length like the day before... today... so i had difficulty carrying it... nevermind... ok, after that, we went home...(Said bye to some of them, Bengz and I took the MRT at the same station, but we take in opposite dirrections, said bye to him cause after going up the escalators and walking to the far end of the station, my train arived..) went home, fell asleep for quite some time, played some games, and its Friday... Deepavali... HOLIDAY...(means a kewl break...)

Leme just write tomorows blog in here.. since its so short... well same thing happened.. but i woke up at 1 PM in the after noon... played some games and fell asleep, till it was saturday... how they heck, i don't think i had much of food....

2003-10-22T13:38:00.000+08:00

ok, today, i made 2 predictions, they were fufilled, i am soo gosu..

22 October, 2003, 2 things will happen... today, during school, DNT practical... hmm i never hand up much of homework for this lesson.. tooo fedup with the theory teacher(for practical, im the lucky half who have Mr Bala for our DnT teacher... HE HE HEH) so he told me... you haven't handed up yur folio and are gona fail the DnT exam etc..(uh go ahead, gime a 0, i dont mind man) and after that, hmm my project was turning out rather well, Yao Zhong was doing a fine job with fixing up the wooden balls that split when hammered through, so we finished up those parts, got out a snips, cut the chain down to proportional size, and soon time was up, DnT lesson over, and BYE BYE workshop, shesh, the liquids in there are blehz..

Ok, nothing much happened in school today, i think, otherwise i coudn't remember anything else significant...just after school, Beng said "WHOOPS, it rained this morning and i took a taxi to school, no there goes my $ for lunch!" whoah, and i was just about to rush of to the nearest Pizza Hut..., never mind, Jeremy said hes comming to my house again...(whoala, 2 Predictions right, check out my previouse blog posts) so, Jeremy and I had a debate, PIZZA HUT here in Bukit Batok, or PIZZA HUT at Jurong point, we soon hecked everything and rushed to Jurong point, hopefully being in time for luch(2:30 mind you..) and pow we made it in time, 2:30 SHARP, we ordered our stuff, he got baked Beef Lagsane(man that stuff it good..) and i got baked pasta Chicken Royal... hmm, wasn't as good as compared to his Lagsane, but its good stuff still!!, hehheh, he got his soup, i got my salad, we finished just about everything.. and realised, wheres our fish rings and bread sticks? asked the nearest waitress, and got them in a few moments, hehheh... after lunch, we went to the Shop(I can't remember its same still..) and he got the bulb, he then called his mom saying my place some where has stuff to fix the bulb( he wanted a double holder lamp..) and we went to my place...

Well, he didn't visit the DIY shop nearby like what he told his mom he would...(he said he'd come some other day, cause he wanted to get home early for dinner O.O, even after that big lunch..) and played WC3 and GB till i duno what time, and went home again, well kewl day, end of blog...

2003-10-21T13:39:00.000+08:00

Tuesday... hmm i gone a little crazy in class, during D n T, i was so bored, so FED UP with the slow boring improperly expalianed ,lesson i could've thrown my table at the teacher to shut her up for 1 minute... so i was there sitting in my chair, going crazy, but i didn't frenzy up, phew... ok heck the whole school incident couldn't remember that happened during my fedupness( i am glad i dont remember bad stuff in life!.. well MOST of the time, so you can NEVER make me commit something stupid) well lets see, after school Bengz and I walked to the MRT station together, we passed by PIZZAHUT!, and whoah!, promotion, set lunch before 2:30 pm, we decided to go the next day, (But trust me, it wasn't Beng whom i had lunch with... I FORESEE THE FUTURE..) ok, after that, i went home, has some fun on the comp, eh boring day cause nothing intresting happened..............(im going to start reading the NEWS properly this time rather than Motuary and Comics sections..) so i fell asleep and pow it was next day... i sure it will be next day, hehheh

2003-10-20T13:34:00.000+08:00

Ok, today Monday, wasup!!, in school, hmz, ah ok, nothin much i guess, other wise its i can't remember... ooh well, never mind that, (its nearing exams mind you..) today, Jeremy came to my house!(right? or am i halucinating?) well anyway if im halucinating, this would be really intresting..., ok lets see, he had 2 purposes when he came... first!, go to Jurong point and check out the pet shop...(man my memory really has a prob, i forgot what the pet shop's name is..) well, he went in to take a look around, and asked the sales person wheather they have any Blue flourecent and White flourecent of the length 2 feet, for sale... we had been searching at Yen Lyng's house that time... OH I DIDN'T BLOG IT, WHOOPS, ok lets see, Jeremy went there to check out the 6 Aquariums there( i think 6), one of them closed down, we checked like 3 or so i think, none of them had what he wanted, before going to Yen Lyng's house...(that was after Breakfast... the prata situation and my Ju Hua..) ok so, he said YEP, whoah man, rare find, and we took a look at it, $25 he said, kewl price man, i don't think Jeremy had enough cash..(he could pay by nets..) well, Jeremy was delighted, and he asked, "Any holder can hold two bulbs?", the sales person answered.. "OH you mean LAMP isit?, no, we only have 1 bulb lamps, only the (duno what steel shiny thingie one forgot what he said, but he refered it to that one..) and the black case one, the (shiney duno what one, forgot sorry,) is $35, wheras the other is $25, if they were double holding lamps, just double the price, easy calculations eh?" so, Jeremy left the shop, promising to come back in a few days time(don't worry, its the day after tomorow, i can read minds and foresee future..)

So we went to my house, and pow, the first thing he did... ask me open my Clarinet case, and switched on my comp, he check his MSN list... only 3 online, then he decided to play WC3, then GB ( my comp rox, no lag, HEHHEHEHHEHH!!) he won alot of matches, then gb, dun ask me, i fell asleep, he was playing around with the Clarinet as well, then he had dinner(i asked him if he wanted my dinner or Clam Chowder or both... he said he'd have the Chowder enough, he's having dinner at home later..) then soon it was time for him to return home, shut down this comp, and we left for the Bus stop..( he's a bus fanatic, if you don't know what that it... eh safer if i don't spill the beans too much..) we took the Clarinet along, and were wondering why lots and lots of air was leaking..(duno, you can hear a distinct hiss..) walking and playing at the same time can tire out a person quickly with that much air leaking... but we made it to the bus stop soon and sure enough... then not too long later, his bus arived and bye bye Jeremy.

Ok i walked home playing the clarinet non stop.. wondering why its squeaking so much... soon realised how to position the clarinet so it don't squeak when i play certain notes.. when i reache home, my bro was complaining that i squeak too much..(I was watching TV and trying to play at the same time, didn't dake not of the positionings of my lips.. so oh well) fixed it soon enough.. hehheh. i was still wondering why its leaking so much air... then i found out... i was using reed size 3!!!, NO WONDER LAH, reed 3 is harder to blow, but has more power i think, needs more air, and leaks alot of air as well..(the notes all don't seem to have a proper base because of the leaky air..) so i swap back to reed 2 , phew, great relief for my family i think, NO MORE SQUEAKS( i mean it, ) played around till i got some notes right... ok im practicing cromatics from G to Bb(as of now..) go too high and i start getting blur... will master the basic ones first, then the others on the higher octave...(as in the really high ones) ok today is OVER good night all(don't trust the time)

Memmory test again by Me Myself...

2003-10-19T12:58:00.000+08:00

Hmm, late late post.... today.. I didn't go church...(stomach ache, and headache..+ the flu), so i stuck at home... very sleepy as well... continued sleeping then woke up and find that church over liaoz... so , messed around in gb... rank keep rising..., sigh, not much to talk about today, oh wait, leme try to remember some stuff... i didn't go out, didn't write blog, hmm... i must've ate some stuff kewl that day... argh, bad memory.., anyway, the yesterday of today...(as in the today is this sunday..) hmm i left Yen Lyng's house before i finished blogging... ok lets see Yen Lyng's piano got problem one... the G note seems a little stuck...(i think 4th octave..) so when you see Jeremy play on it... whoah dang funny... press down, use finger quickly pull up then press again then pull then press again..., then we had some root beer..(i didn't finish mine.. maybe cause not use to the brand..) and then back at Gun bound... we were served some ICE BLENDED Ribina!, rather good stuff(the first cup too sweet, gave to Jeremy, he said i dun have sweet tongue?) mine was rather just right for me, hehheh, we continued playing GB + Clarinet( Jeremy likes doing that when he's waiting for his turn.. as in the game..) and soon, the sun had set, and whoah, we were having dinner at Yen Lyng's house. OK I had Chicken rice, so did Jeremy i think... Yenlyng and Sis i forgot... but their daddy, was having duck Noodles(i think fuzzy memory..) Jeremy said he didn't like Cucumbers, he said he didn't like veggie but liked fruits... and the wierd thing is... Cucumber is a fruit, not a veg... wierd how so many people make this mistake... ladies finger is also a fruit so is the egg plant... (i like fruits and veg... but there is 1 plant and 1 fruit i dont like.... thats.. Cauliflower and Ladies Fingers... though i still eat them..thats as of now... not sure if there are other exotic fruits that i don't like.. YET..)

Hmm, ok something i won't say, but got this quote "Ignorance is Bliss" "Some times..." you can read it up at Jeremy's blog, i think... ok lets continue, it was pretty dark, and when we left, we said bye bye and thanks for the stuff(everything) and Jeremy's mom sent me to Bukit Batok MRT station, dropped off, and pow, back home... and then i slept etc... and then it was today.. now lets blog today...(wth am i talking about..) cya people!

(Memory test conducted by Me Myself..)

2003-10-18T19:58:00.000+08:00

Beside Jeremy right now, using Yen Lyng's other comp to write blog, MWUAHAHHA, let see, ok, today, this morning, hmm, i was awake all night, no idea why(unless if its because of gunbound..) lets see, at 9:00 i left for the Dentist, Clementi there, brought the Clarinet along, then after that... the braces were FIXED,l went to Bukit Batok to meet him, he said, he would be taking 852.. so lets see... first bus came, no way, too early, second one came, nope, he might be a lil later then, third bus came, NOTHING!, but... he came up from beside me...(shocked me) and said his Mom fetched him here, well, lets see, we got into the car and went to ... street 11 Bukit Batok(Visiting Yen Lyng.) we went for.."BREAKFAST" at 11:30 heres the fun part...

I didn't sleep so.. naturally, was blur... while drinking the Ju Hua Cha... i could actually tip the drink till it came spilling off the sides of the cup, onto the table... and it dripped off onto my pants... (yawn, jeremy crazy, its A little drop on my right pocket side... ) well jeremy is crazier, lets see.. he finished one bowl of Duck Noodles, then he went on a plate of Roti Prata(egg), lets see... he poured some curry on the top one, then when he fliped it over.. the curry splash onto his shirt... L O L... he tried cleaning it but to no avail.... .... then... his first piece of prata he was cutting up.. he used too much force... it fell of the side of the plate... he tried saving it... comic situation... can't describe man... not to mention, gota credit Jeremy for paying for the drinks...

OK next we went to block... 149(wrong block, we didn't know...) practice the clarinet abit... the phone rang... the block we were supposed to be at is............142... took one hela long time to travel there (couldn't quite find it..) Jeremy says... The Clarinet notes on a piano... must flat or sharp it.. forgot..... blur.. any way, we had fun here.. played Gunbound.. Jeremy got problem with managing angles.....(i use the less powerful comp.. still score like.. 5X more than him..)

2003-10-17T00:30:00.000+08:00

How this Jeremy? I found you a site, the reed trimming guide is darn cool!, go check it out man! on my side frame the links, check out the Saxophone study!(The fingering chart 1 looks realy O.o)

Not sure if its same as Suprano Sax... cause i think this site is about Tenors and Altos....(might be all 4... haven't check it out much yet!)

2003-10-17T00:16:00.000+08:00

Balls, time to draw time table... and.. well, i was too late (dentist went home at 5 pm) sigh... going to get a cup of milk now... lets see, im going to finish all my maths homework... and attempt another page of Zhou Ji....(blardy hell.. O>o)

Like my bgm?, if not, i'll dump on take five...(but this one sounds alot better to me when played on QuickTime plugin..)

2003-10-16T18:00:00.000+08:00

Oh yeah... today... couldn't find Mr Subash... maybe cause i wasn't looking hard enough...( too many visitors around... 3 years younger too...) and anyway, update... the key thing... is fixed.... seemed a little stucked but it must've been insufficient grease.., ill make sure tomorow to sight up for that NYAA thing...

2003-10-16T16:17:00.000+08:00

Today... 2 tests... SS is... not easy.... Maths? i might just score full marks for this topic..., after school... BAND PERFORMANCE, i forgot to bring my band T-shirt (it looks like... rubish.... yellow never goes with green...cept in foods..) but heck... ok we played 2 pieces... Fire dance and Tempest, i was ok on both, made no chromatic note mistakes... cept in tempest... i think im the only one who recognised... (volume f) ACCENT... but doing so... i some how kept sluring every second note...(stretch a lil too long... 32nd of a note too long..) but its ok... Orville, another first trombonist... he got the B natural position wrong..(he kept thinking its Bb since its Bb scale... and he's 4th grade on piano?.. O.o grade 1 piano already mastered all the Majors and Minors already... ) but the performance went rather well...

On my way home, i bought a box of Famouse Amos cookies(Choc chip and Pecan), and then made for home... nearly fell asleep on the bus... must be the sun(air conditioner and sun = im a sleepy dude..) ok, i made it home... At home... first thing i did... kicked the soccer ball... unfortunately.. it flew a lil too high... and out of the window..(Im living on level 9.. it fell all the way to basement 1.. O.o) BOOM!, and echos followed from the underground carpark... whoops.

After retrieving the ball, i went to set up my clarinet... the wierd thing is... there are finger print marks and dulled keys all over.... some idiot must've touched it... great loser indeed, i always WIPE after using.... im going to get a new one , freaking hell, 2 weeks and some one must DAMAGE it(yeah... one of the keys got damaged.. wondering who the heck did it...) anyway, i practiced a lil... squeaked more than usual, but never mind... can't blame a damaged clarinet, so... while trying to sit on my bed(its a double decker... and im a tall guy..) i smashed my head against the top bed.. and my head smashed into the clarinet mouth piece...(i braced for the worse... the mouth piece being damaged..) but phew.. nothing wrong with the clarinet...(don't count the damaged key) but... my bracers broke... so im going to the dentist today later... going to get a new bed, a new clarinet, and maybe a second hand picolo or something...(this time, im going to LOCK my room up so nobody ever gets in here....)

2003-10-15T23:59:00.000+08:00

COUGH*
ok, i think i've got a sore throat...

Nevermind, today... in school... I WAS LATE!, on my way to school, just near by Lake Side MRT station... there was an accident... and i think some people got injured... and the usual... slow down to get a glimpse... there was an ambulance there, and it was raining... whoah man... thats my reason for being late...

During DnT... go check it out at my friend's blog, about some standing hair business....

Some how.. teachers can sniff out trouble when students eat candies in class..(it was still recess actually..but the culprit...Hong Wee.. sigh... was in class and some teachers walked by....)

Anyway, after school, while walking towards the Bukit Batok MRT, Beng and I turned into cheers to grab some drinks... got a root beer, and while walking to the cashier.. he pointed out the factory boxed Famouse Wally Amos' cookies...(he's got one pack of 100g fresh made ones...) and the price was like... $3.45 for 170grams of it..... and the fresh baked ones...(theres a store in Jurong Point basement level... the Famouse Amos one.. I got it from there for him)..his ones... costed... $3.95 for 100 grams of it... eh... and i've just finished this box like 5 mins ago..(yeah i bought one box..) and all i can say... i think it taste better(less sweet than his... and maybe cause i dunked some in milk)

OK, today i went to the dentist(dental appointment for braces), he said... you gota put on the rubber bands(i did, some how my teeth were to strong for the green ones..) and this time... for the bottom braces..instead of using the tiny little bands... he used a Ligature wire.... man now it hurts if I bite hard stuff...(Famouse Amos cookies... thats why i started dunking them in milk to soften them a lil), and he gave me a packet of RED bands... whoah...(these are the strongest i think...)

Ok, tomorow.. band performance... get to skip last lesson to rush down to prepare for the presentation... School Open house... for some other Primary school kids to come over and check out... (thats why Tuesday had a sudden last minute band practice..)

Now.. im trying to memorise the score for Bb treble cleff...(on piano.. it seemed easier to read...but i was using C major.. and the other majors were easy.. half step, 1 step etc..easy to figure out... on a clarinet.. its diff when yur Bb jumps to second octave... retardedly demanding to close all the holes down and open another at the top...) like my new BGM?, its a Jazz piece.. don't quite get the name of it though.. but i like it.. Clarinet solo.. i was thinking of putting take five instead.. but ah well... this one sounded better!

Doing home work now... i keep getting distracted now and then...(doing Maths O level series C7, C8 and C15.. everything seemed so easy to work out in my head now that its night time... but... being this easy... i didn't feel that writing it down was necessary at all.. so.. distraction sure gets me easy..) 2 tests tomorow... Social Studies and E maths... Tranformation.. not sure what SS is.. might be about industrialisation... easy!, Transformation is my best for maths..(i duno.. i find it extreemly easy.. didn't need any teachers to teach me how to do it.. wierd huh? born with a manipulating mind... the angle properties test of cirle.. i failed it... i was half asleep then.... but i got everything worked out now... how I wish i can take tests at night...)

Thoughts of the Day
Im abit nocturnal, but heck... ok, I am goind to plot a time table...(ill do this TOMOROW, i better do it..) and im going to try out NYAA Bronze award... and upgrade it to silver when I want to, going to talk to Mr Subash tomorow... since nowadays... im really into learning alot more stuff..(HTML, XML, ETC ETC, should have started earlier... but now most of the stuff i could have used to put into the NYAA diary is gone... for example.. how to set up a server.. how to fix a comp from its basic parts.. how to FIX a LAPTOP from its basic parts( laptops are extreemly difficult...) and how to set up and run a server for diff situations... etc etc... how to hack, how to crack 0.o) like the clarinet since i just started, the keyboard is kewl, maybe a Suprano Sax when my friend gets it.. and i might go back to violin... and then Guitar(Complexity to Simplicity... Law of Dynamics.. this proves evolution to be WRONG!). Thats about it... and i think i'd better sleep.. its now .... 1 AM in the morning... but im editing the time... so that it shows it at Wednesday October 15 than Thursday..

2003-10-14T21:00:00.000+08:00

TODAY!, lets see i brought my clarinet to school... like a magnet for attention, the more talented ones inquired to borow... and play on it..(yeh, some of them just can't let go!)
Today, we had band.... i still have the same embrochur prob with that high Eb to D thing... blardy stupid..., anyway today, Qiao Juan was the conductor(She's from the 1st Clarinet section)... im not very used to her conducting... so im always 2 notes early...

Atempted the flute again.. i could produce the sound properly on first try... but... i get dizzy real quick... NO IDEA why... and one more thing.. people who play double reeds usually forget how to play single reed instruments...(Benjamin for example... he forgotten how to play the clarinet... ironic eh?)

Some times, tests results are dissapointing, but never mind... during band... Jeremy took my clarinet to practice... he did advance quite well with 1 hour of practice... but that reed he used was new i think... he chiped it abit... O.O should have told him to give it some moisture before use...(he knew it wasn't that seasoned yet..) he's getting his Suprano Sax in 2 weeks time.. some im going to check it out as well...(i think it looks like a metal clarinet.., straight.. not like the alto or tenor...)

Setting up the clarinet is taking less and less time now.. considering i don't have to grease it anymore now...(i think...) and there is a skill.. i learnt yesterday but forgot to blog it...

How to attach/detach the main body and lower shaft.... ok, the main thing is to apply the force correctly, you first press on the top shaft rings..(release away from the metal bit that connects to the bottom shaft rings..) and apply the main presure... on the lower shaft THUMB support... then twist it clock wise and counter clock wise to take it out.... pressure on the thumb support of course... things made easy... i'll try to find other tricks like this...

Added 2 links, so if you really wana learn stuff, you can check out the site... but to learn how to shift stuff... the embrochures and every thing... you might have to find somebody who plays the clarinet to help, other than that.. those links can teach you how to sight read scores... chromatic skills, and Fingerings!

Whoops, leme see, I was attending Jeremy's birth day BBQ, it was on Saturday, and I slept over there... next day, Church, so... ehe... 2 days in a row and no blog...

Lets see.. saturday... Yanyi.... well, i dared not approach the fire cause of her... she was like " GET THE HELL LOST , SIAM, SHOO SHOO!, GO SOME WHERE ELSE.. BLAH YADA ETC..!" ok, must have been wierd... well i saw how they set up the fire... it was like... 5 different spots in the grate... 1 fire starter each, and they built a small "hill" over it... not much of a hill... just a little enclosed arc... the fire failed like 2 times before they got it to "burst into flames" and then later starting it up properly... took like 1/2 hour or maybe less or more, couldn't tell... pity... i remember my last fire i made... 2 minutes... and it was a giant... i had to hammer it down...(too high to put the griller(the metal thing, wtf its called...) on it... they should have put 2 fire starters at the botom close together... light, stack a mountain of UNO stacko kinda like build... but getting decent sized coal blocks... then letting the bottom burn, then fanning... 2 minutes, tada, a big flame...

Well, the main prob is that the fire was abit spreaded out.. so it wasn't really that hot... to bbq anything was like taking ages... but with this low heat... nothing got burnt.. everything was perfect... so it was some what..."Healthy.." to toast a bun over it was like .... trying to cook a chicken wing on a normal heated one...(took kinda long... but it was well done!) so, most of the guys got bored... some gals started throwing slippers around... and i was jumping around the area... trying to burn up some energy...(i'd have slept if i hadn't done anything..)

Kof, anyway... there were 2 people who were like the Chefs... Chin Hong! and Yanyi(duh) they were attached to the flame or something, and they cooked rather well, gota thank them.... (but i wasn't full... should have ate more bread....but it took too long to toast..) good food takes time to prepare...

Halfway through the BBQ, part of the gang left for a near by fitness corner, it was kinda dark, and we were taking some crazy pics around...(No porn, we are all decent folks, no we are all straight, so dont act stupid) like 6 or so people trying to stand on 3 elevated poles... some crazy hanging around the monkey bars... and a kewl group pic against a railing..(one of the guys left... he must've felt too bored or something... cause he wasn't really trying to get involved much, he went to Long John Silver's... fast food rox i guess...) and finally, after like half an hour or something(i didn't have a watch..) we went back to get some chicken!(Yanyi and some others were doing the cooking...)

Soon the bbq was over(soon my balls...) and we went up to Jeremy's room... NO I SAID WE ARE DECENT FOLK AND ARE STRAIGHT AS WELL, and we are underage, there good reason, so no rubish up there.... but we were shooting arrows all over the place...(we shared 1 arrow.. but... heck... it was funny cause we only had 1 bow..) then Photos again, and I was the camera man for a while...(The gals kinda liked Jeremy's bed, or they must have been sleepy or something...) and after that... we took a few more pics(i was in the pic... Jeremy's sis helped out).... and the party ended after the last roll of film was used...

Then, every one left cept I, and we checked out the Protein skimmer and etc of Jeremy's "Soon to be filled" marine tank... took a bath(not together, freak, how many homo's in this world eh? if yur one, go and die, leme teach you, run to yur kitchen, grab the sharpest thing you can find, then, slit both wrists, slice off yur balls, and then, slit yur throat) and when i came back from the bathroom, Jeremy was fast asleep... lights one and all,O.o

Switched off the lights, and soon, it was tomorow morning, and whoah, breakfast ready!
His mom left first, and Jeremy was instructed to attend the... Sermon? or another meeting or something, so he would be allowed to leave later... and we had the breakfast... and i tell you... IT ROX, the most noticable stuff on the table... 2 cups, in them... "Apple Crumble" said Jeremy, "try one dude, guess who made it?" "yur mom?," "No" "You..." "Yeah, im the gosu, from fresh apples, flour, egg, milk, water, etc, and right temperature and experience"

"Apple Crumble"
Apple crumber is a special delicacy made my Jeremy Ang Jian Qin, superbly crunchy top, and smooth flowing apple filling, the sauce is great!, the pastry perfect to the crust, "mouth WATERING" (really, im drooling right now...) the taste is Heavenly, but... I HAVE TO POINT OUT ONE MAJOR FAULT, the serving is too small, so Jeremy, next time, make servings like 4 times that ammount as the usual, thankyou.

Then i went to church, Dad got me a NKJ Bible (New King Jame's), but i think i still prefer the older one... seemed more intresting to read. And... i accedentally left my band T-shirt in church... sigh...

OK, Today...
I tried doing the E Major for clarinet... my bro was complaning that i sounded like rubish....(i kept sounding like... nothing... nothing came out lest i blew harder... but doing so would agitate my brother... lame) then i moved on to the Bb Major scale.. something alot lower... but it is easier... but there is one problem... from the second octave... i've got a prob moving from Bb to C.... its either cause doing so would apply alot of sudden pressure and my right thumb(the one supporting the clarinet) would hurt... and buckle...(no im careful.. never drop the clarinet) and the fingering for it is really... kewl... gona practice it every day now, just hope my older brother won't be in other wise... he'd make alot more noise than i do..

Thoughts for the day
I have a few people in class whom i've not truely CONVERSED with... might strike up a proper conversation with the one sitting to the left of me, and the one behind her as well(10 months... and i haven't spoken much to them... O.o scary thought..)
"Apple Crumble" rox
Clarinet sounds good with alot of practice and good reeds... must wet the reed before use.
Im bringing my Clarinet to Jeremy's house tomorow. sure hope it doesn't get stolen... ill murder any stranger who lay's hands on it... i mean it...

2003-10-10T23:55:00.000+08:00

OMG.. something funny happened... leme type it again... look of disgusting pleasure...
ok im going crazzy... lets see what happens..
wierd nothing... but its still wierd... some loser must be hacking this blog... ill have to change everything soon....

100 nails on black board... looks of... ugh.... ugly.... pok marks all over... ok lets now observe if i get hacked again...

OK THOUGHTS OF THE DAY
Teachers are slowly geting out of date... as they try to handle a class of 30 students or more... and they start complaining... treating the class as a whole.. not by individual standards.. showing favouritism very intimidatingly... etc etc... its a whole long list of how teachers are slowly getting on the nerves of students who are too smart for them now a days.... what that is happening now? people are gradually getting smarter at a younger and younger age... if schools were to shut down tomorow and we had to adapt to self study education, i am very sure most of us could adapt to this in a jiffy for modern day youngsters like us... what are schools nowadays? a plain place for congregation.... and stress+idiots are made there... in the real world.. we have to adapt quickly to multiple situations... rather than having a fixed place... as long as we maintain a productivity margin, higher than expected, i'd say we are doing very well, its better they trying to get up early and end up doing rubish work due to insufficient sleep... and people totally not enjoying their work...
Self study would enable students to actually SPECIALISE and EXPAND their FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE than sticking around in a school with scheduled subjects... having extra lessons on subjects you either know to well.. or having too little for those that you persue to strive for greater results in... ALL the teachers(im using the word all.. its not in bold yet.. but once i really clarify it... im going to edit and make it bold) expect us to spend our time only on their 1 particular subject... most of them do not suspect some actually already first reading ahead of them, so as to be able to spend more time on other subjects... and form teachers expect you to be able to spend your time like every other student does so in class... they EXPECT every one to be identicle and same... as if we were robots when doing homework, but don't give much of care when it comes to our examination results... this is where our self responsibility comes it... teachers don't care about what we do, we only have to score for their 1 subject and the other teachers are shunned aside if we score lousier in their subjects, competition and rivalry in teachers? yeah.... nobody gives excess and usless work cause nobody waste time except for teachers... in the business world... lets say.. your boss ask you to sumarise and graph this document... you know he needs it for business and to save himself time from reading the whole thing, as for teachers... its just the opposite way round.... they want you to write down all the perfect stuff, elaborate, make things longer, make a few more graphs, and some times, make graphs themselves complicated to make you understand it..., but what produces best results is simplicity, most of the time, students already understand what the teachers are saying, if they don't and do not ask... then its the teachers fault for driving them into a phobia of asking questions... (eh... my FORM TEACHER, says this... do not ask stupid questions, unfortunately, she fails to specify what a stupid question is, nor does she even answer that question... what does this prove?, she doesn't know the answer. logical? duh.) i yet may not be totally right... but throughout those usual presentations i really take part in... its mostly simple stuff that people understand, and smoothing out the complicated parts to be SIMPLE for people to really get a full grip of what they really need and want to know, and i give them a feeling that i can be inquired about the topic i study, so the strong points of myself is shown... it is very stupid to ask someone questions about topics that are his weak points... teachers LOVE to do that, they like to make some one look stupid, but it is they themselves that their ploy back fires upon... why?, it shows they never learnt how to ask the right people, nor did they learn that people are all different...

Last note... YOU DO NOT EXPECT EVERYONE TO BE EINSTEIN OR BETHOVEN etc etc, Musical and Scientifical guinesses were all individuals, so even if you asked Bethoven like, what are corals(during his time that is), he won't be able to answer you as of what you would expect from a marine biologist.(make things simple, NEVER EXPECT EACH INDIVIDUAL TO BE THE SAME)

Hmm i got his present like 1 hour ago... you guy's arn't supposed to know till tomorow... thats 20 minutes... but ehe...

ok anyway... today... we had a soccer match against 3E1(its just a practice match..) we won by 1 goal... ending score was 3E2:7 and 3E1:6 7:6

The ironic part was that during the first half... it was 5:0 against 3E2...(some of my classmates were like.... giving up...) well.. the massive goals scored in the second half was owed to the fact that... 3E1's keeper had an injury i think... so it wasn't really a fair match...(they had a substitute goalie.. but their main is much better..)
And it can't be a fair match.. cause i was under a detention period... during the game...(that means.. i wasn't playing for my team.. XD)

OK, the idiot Jeremy(the bday dude...) didn't wana recieve my call.. and he wasn't on msn... so i gota tell him this... err.. im not bringing my Clarinet over tomorow... too much luguage.... and i won't be stopping off home after band tomorow.. so i'll just accompany you to JP.

There, lets see... detention was about... hmm i've handed up and completed most of my Newspaper Cutting... Zou Ji can take a break... i'll take forever to actually fill up 15 FULL pages... and ill do my Xi Zi later... thats tomorow...

And yess.... no.1 report on how a good teacher would behave...

Ok.. this is related to a situation in class... the principle caught some students camping in the classroom during recess to finish some work... she caught them in the room with locked doors, shut windows... lights off... but fans on... O.o... so we were reprimanded the next day... as part of the priciples speach on responsibility of students.... then... back to classroom... during Curriculum time... our form teacher comes in... and she rubs in more salt into our eyes and wounds that were already swollen with the principle's... public school speach... she vent her anger at us... whoah... screamed at every one.. me especially... and... eh... when she called me out... i took off my specs the kewl way... and she tought i was mocking her or showing my anger or something...(must have been cause my specs fell off the table.. and i nearly hesitated to pick it up.. but continued walking to her...she must've notice me cursing under my breath...) and kof... staring competition.... nobody ever beats me... i can stare for over 10 minutes without blinking at all... no competition.. but of course.. her voice is like... eh... 100 nails on the board... she had this... eh... loathing... look of disgusting blehs... this blog is hacked...

ok thats it for now...

2003-10-09T22:26:00.000+08:00

wow its 10 pm already... lets see... i've just done yesterday's blog... ok for today...

blehz... leme wake up abit...

yeah, maths test was today... Angle Properties of Circle i think.. wasn't very sure... and i can say... ima get some very indecent grades for this test...(all my reasons were very unburred...)

Band... eh.. trombone was vibrating on my neck... and my bracers was giving me a very very hard time to hit the high f note...(Can't take my eyes off you, 1st trombone...)everytime i hit the chorus(I LOVE YOU BABY! that part... sigh..) it starts to break when i jump from f to d to f again... so i gave up memorising the score and etc...(can't even get the note to stick around for longer than 1 count..) and walked over to the clarinet section... im blur.. my colar was still up from trying to "supress" some of the vibrating pressure of the trombone against my left neck...

The clarinet section is funny... the 1st clarinet section that is... ok... lets see... first.. they played abit.. i think they only had 1 page of the score(i had 2.. i duno..?) 4 of them were sharing.. 1 guy, 3 gals, but the guy seemed the best(Wei Da) so i asked him later if he could help me out with learning the clarinet(blur) ok, so next, they started playing a multiplying game after getting bored with memorising the score... i didn't remember much... but i was trying to listen to the flute section... must've been the other sections playing too loudly... not a wave of anything came from the flute section... and so.. i kept sitting... still no sound from where my section was supposed to be(some where in the school, near the hall) and POW from no where... came YongRen(the gosu Flute player...) i didn't quite get what he said...(blur) but i decided to check out why his section isn't making much of what i was trying to hear...

Well.. just about then, sectional ended.. and he said this very funny thing..."You memorised yet?, we haven't started on the score yet you know." O.O

well, in the bandroom... ok yeah, i didn't break enough to give up on the piece(my timing was GOOOD, phew.. had to correct my section leader on 2 parts.. but i made abit of a mistake again later...i keep forgetting to flat the d at one part..)and the trumpets... eh... a few of the notes were to high to reach as of yet..(seldom do they practice those higher octave... and tounging there is almost imposible for them...) so they were some how trying to blast out the notes... ended blasting broken pitches out... eh....

Band over and the instructor announced... this saturday, we're gona do a recording for the school oppening ceremony so they wont need us there every saturday for practice...
Yeah ok, so thats it.

Then it was back home... i was waiting for my mom to fetch me home.. and walked about every one out of the school compound, and realised after Pearl left... its THURSDAY... mom works over time on thursdays.. so i picked up my bag.. etc... and caught a train home.. on the way back.. i stoped over at the Shopping centre... got some "Famouse Amos" cookies(choc chip no nut) for my friend and pow im back home... read up on HOW TO CHANGE font colour... a few attempts didn't work, so i give up... but i made an anchor so you guys can hope back to the top of this page! Added YanYi's blog to the link, go check it out, its better than mine(i think she custom made her own Template.. ill do that later...)

Thoughts for today(NEW thing ima do)
Ji Zhong Li is not good, very blur in class, hardly comprehend what Ms Ho said during lesson.. her voice was like a steel coat bullet of like... 8000 horse power(huh, i forgot what you called bullet power by..) richoting off the insides of my head each time she spoke... so there were like over a hundred bullets through my head... luckily, they were not permanent... but it affected me for the rest of the day...BLURNESS...

And I am making a dedication... finish homework a.s.a.p. really revise Chinese homework(i mean it, im going to pass the next Ting Xie with some gosu results i hope) and, try to work out how to do chords and everything about the Piano(then keyboard... so i can make sound effects..)

2003-10-08T21:11:00.000+08:00

Thinking of how to change font and bg colour(blog is diff from html...i think...).... and am finding a host for some midi files to embed...

Not much today? cause its not today, its tomorow and im writing today on tomorow's night!, makes sense?...it means... its tomorow, but im writing for yesterday which is today...

Lets see.. i fell asleep at around 3:40pm or something like that and remained like a log till the next morning... exhaustion... maybe?

well i know what it was!, it was the rain... the last thing i remembered... about school today(kof) was the buncha girls rushing to the toilet...unless if its yesterday.. im mixed up between both... anyway... hmm during DnT... my partner somehow split a wooden ball with a nail we were trying to get through it... we are gona try drilling this time... perhaps make a guide for the nail... but slightly narrower than the nail itself... for the grip of course..(its to fasten to another wooden pole..)

Well.. since i fell asleep this early... i didn't do much....

2003-10-07T18:54:00.000+08:00

Yawn... lets see... i did a rubish Yan Jiang today... like... eh... dressing up...(formaly and informally, i got stuck somewhere in the middle..) Maths... i ended up not handing up... last question... was using wrong scale...(should read the question more thoroughly next time..) it said... 2cm to represent 5 units... and i was like halfway through my 1 cm to 2 unit one....

Delivered some Famouse Amos' cookies(choc chip no nut) to my friend... and he's coming over tomorow to check out CCS movie 2...(he got some chocolate for the show..)

TUESDAY aka BAND(not compulsory..)
Ok... i attempted to try the flute... took me about 5 or so tries to get it right... then i started making the same mistake again.. and took like 20 or so to get it again... then mistake(i felt dizzy and put down the flute.. picked it up and was lost..) then 10 tries... then 9 tries. then 15 tries.. etc... till i manage to get the hang of it...

Tips:
-Body Posture must be straight.. do not stoop nor hunch(forward..)
-Blow VERY VERY gently... i mean it... if you do it slightly harder than normal... you'll never get the note...
-some how... even with a slight breath... it still sounds loud... so yur gona have to practice alot just to decresendo with it...
-yur lower jaws either drop.. or juts out a little(so you don't aim the stream of at into the hold... but just over it...).. that means... yur lower lips protrudes abit(so your jet of air will travel narrower and... about perpendicular to your body...)
-you might need to practice alot to get this right...

Hmm.. im polishing up my trombone skills... currently... my high F keeps falling back to a D...(this happens when i blow F too much and swap to D and swap to F again.... I'M ON BRACERS TREATMENT...) Reading scores lower than f(usually d and e) gets me a little confused when it starts poping up with sharps and flats..(i get them right on second try...)

Too tired to fix up my Clarinet.. but i may do so a lil later... time to finish home work... that family tree thing is quite stupid...

2003-10-06T23:24:00.000+08:00

Yeah... tomorow.. its tuesday...
I've got Yian Jiang(Formal Speach...)
Not yet prepared... don't think i'll be till next round..(i attempted to do 2 cause i was late for my first... but it was only 1 day late... sigh..)

Bio teacher phoned my mom telling her i've been missing Thursday EXTRA(compulsory) Lessons... pardon me... but i've read past what she's covered even today's(lesson)

Went home.. yeah.. im starting to do homework nowadays.. less gaming.. more socialising.. and Jeremy Ang is starting to get on my nerves...(A school friend.. almost identical insanity level.. he's abit worse off than I am.. im recuperating...) Why is he geting on my nerves?... cause ahem... he's starting to feel like Saruman to the Ents...(Adapted from LOTR)

Played the clarinet.. and read about Mike Miller(Famouse Clarinetist) its practice the clarinet actually... and the keyboard... im still abit lost on moving the chords around too much... but hey.. its only been 2 days(same for the clarinet.. but i can play the scale i think...)

Oh yeah.. I managed to get a sub standard... but decent video of Card Captor Sakura Movie 2..(my first time watching it... and this is in Japanese, i watched the series in Chinese..) and all i've got to say... it rox... but the video quality wasn't that good.. so im looking for a beter one...(some one squashed burned this on a single CD...131 MB big.. rather small... compared to stuff i dl that are like 500mb and higher for just 1 file...game clients.. ahem..) the Movie really is good.. if you have been folowing the series.. im mainly atracted by the Music and cute voices of the VAs(Voice Actors/Actresses) At the last part... a very favourable twist...

Emptiness: "I have the last card!, now my friends are with me again!"
Sakura: "Chiga u!(Its not true!)" "Friends do not push on one another!"(eh.. here's where i feel Jeremy's a pushover... he'll understand if he reads this.(memmory rush)..)

Emptiness has to be filled with something before it can be sealed into a card... the most precious feelings of someone.

But did Emptiness really got the last of Sakura's Cards? watch the movie to catch what happened..

Kewl Guy postin again.

I BOUGHT MY NEW CLARINET.

Bb Clarinet Model YCL450 at like... 1.144k SG$.

I'ma practicing the keyboard as well(piano.. later experiment with other stuff..)

Let's see... At around 6pm today... just by the Istana park(i was waiting for the Trombone Choir to start..) the military band performed and later marched past Plaza Singapura.. i didn't follow... cause it was 6:30 by the time they moved on....(the road... i remember the bus nearly ramed the police car... stopping like inches from its rear..)

Then at 6:30, a very intresting performance put up by the Trombone Choir... starting with Yesterday by the beatles..(i don't really like this song..). I left at around 7:30.(After loads of lame jokes.. some kewl ones.. and lots of rubish..but hey, the trombonist were really good!(Psst.. im a 1st Trombonist in my School Band))
