Yes! I'm a long way from home....

Messy room..
Filled with empty drawing paper,
Various mediums,
Music scores,
Artworks,
Life sciences textbook...

In ten years time,
nothing will change..
trust me...
not a single bit..

Death through massive bleeding.

So Shepherd died after (what's his name again??) threw a knife which hit him in the eye.
Blimey,that guy is one sick SOB.

Anyway,managed to complete Modern warfare2 within a day..
No more games for me to play since the rest aren't up to my taste.

I'm really into Indie (or Independant) music right now.
'Indie' is NOT a genre.

 And not to forget Neo-classical music..

Grab this at Borders for only SGD$13

Bang.bang,pow,pow,pow Boom!!!

A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won’t cross the street to vote in a national election - Bill Vaughan

Completed Assassin’s Creed 2 few days ago.Now playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.Quite an awesome game if you ask me.

I like the terrorist level.
Basically what you do is..
Shoot innocent civilians..

However have yet to touch my projects and that is NOT cool.

"Holidays"

Yeah, I'm on "holiday" here..
So much for a 2 weeks of "holidays"
But what do we get?

Assignments..
Projects..
Rehearsals..

Christmas "presents" from Ngee Ann .

Anyway, let's make an official welcome of Liszt Symphonic poems(he was famous for it) into my collections..

But what I really want for Christmas is..

So Santa...  *Hints Hints*

2 weeks of holiday
Damn..
Stop spamming us with activities
We demand REST!!!!

Arrrgghhhh!!!!

Now I know what I want in life..
It's not too late..
There's still hope
..
Not as if I like BME that much

Unproductive Sunday....(again?)

It seems that every Sunday I just shut down my brains..
And turned unproductive..
Wait.. I did my DEL tutorials plus revisons..
Ok that's something...

Sunday is one of those boring days..
Nothing good on TV..
Especially at night - it sucks so much .....
Plus time passes quite fast..
And the next thing you know..
It's Monday...
And the blues will set in...
*Growls..*

Donnerstag, funf vor Mittnacht

Somehow I feel like skipping school and staying home all day to play this..

Ezio is way much cooler than Altair in some way..

His weapon(s) is much more exclusive, powerful and wide ranging.

Not to forget that he got help from Leonardo Da Vinci himself..

The gameplay itself has gone through major changes,

No more repititive missions..

Better Enviroment.

Better storylines.

  

Post-Minimalism..

To any ordinary person,

It sounds weird.

To a conservative musician,

It might be what they refer to as "Rubbish".

But to me...

...

PURE AWESOME-NESS

Did I mention that I got it for only like $3??

I'm serious..

Not from China..

Donnerstag, zehn nach Mittnacht

One more week till common test..
FUCK!!!!!

On the other hand, my music library is rebuilding smoothly..
Now need an external hardisk to store my backup files..

Fundamental sucks... But then again I need to master my basic art skills..

Common Tests is coming..
I'm back to my stare-at-the book-for-hours routine..
Have to pass all my modules..
It's a must..

I'm going back to the status of 'band regular'...
But that will last till Rondeau......

pretty dead

Half of week 6 is gone...
Last-minute test,
Rehearsals ..
Common Test within 2 week...

I'm not looking forward to Rondeau...
I'm losing interest in band..
I'm considering of joining Keat Hong Chinese Orchestra.
Hope to participate in next year International Band Festival
This,that...

One thing for sure , I'm not insane
Just being a little ambitious..

This week's morale : -1

It's been a week without my laptop...
Things are gonna get even tougher..
Now that Ich have tons of online assignment due...                  [Morale -3]

But it's a good thing that Ich don't have to fix my precious on the laptop screen for hours..
                                                                                               [Morale + 1]

More performance coming up..
Family Concert was just the pilot for this season..                     [Morale -1]
But this means more CCA points                                             [Morale +2]

I'm not dead..

Family Concert is over...
Thanks to those who came and support..
Especially the CO and Band members..
(photos in Facebook)

Well..
Mistakes here and there..and a bit dissapointed with myself..

Went shopping today at Mark & Spencer
So now officially 4 checkered shirt in my wardrobe
3 from M&S
1 from Timberland

.Not to forget..
Cheapskates like me will take advantage of whatever sales HMV have.
and I bagged home another CD...
Ok I lost count...

Finally,back home..
It was long day today and I had spent more than 12 hours in school.Quite tiring:both mentally and physically.
My triceps,back and my calves has been aching since Monday...
My head is gonna explode..

This week has been so intensive,
Next week will be my break..
I will refrain from attending all CCAs -Band,CO and Strings..
Prolly I will do some catching up with studies...
I need decent sleep..

Had Stage band practice-
not many turned up..
Strings after that-
Preparation for Saturday was okay i guess..
Then off to CO-
To which I practiced "The Unforgetable Water Festival"

My eyelids is getting heavy..maybe I'll end here..

Notre-Dame Cathedral

Went to NAFA concert today with some of the NPS members...
Awesome it was...

So got this only at SGD $8.95 at HMV

Usually I don't buy Early music recordings

Since it's quite expensive..
But this happened to be in one of those "clearing off"..

Plus there are more good stuffs as well..

This recording...
Just takes your breath away..
Leaving you speechless..
When the choir start singing...
You'll be awed...
Trust me...

The beauty of the human voice is so stunning..

1st week

And so it has come to the end of the first week of school...
Got to say it might be stressful for me..
Judging by the number of modules I'm taking..

It means I have to work hard..

With the number of CCAs:

Strings,Chinese Orchestra and Band 

Maybe I should focus on just the first 2..

Talking about CCA,

Family Concert is just 1 week away..

I just have too much things to settle..

I should be more organize..

So far the only module(s) that I like are:

Computer Programming,German 102,S&W and Business Finance..

The rest were just simply [....]

20 bucks

SGD$8.95

SGD$5.95

SGD$4.95

Total = SGD$19.85

Cheap...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUI WEN!!!!

Three Suites

Music camp in a day's time..

Will be back on Friday..

Lazy Sunday Afternoon..

It's a boring afternoon,

but I love staying at home and relax on days like this..

After all, It's the weekends..

One more week of holidays..

and it'll be back to a hectic lifestyle...

CHECKMATE

Maybe things didn't go my way..

But still,I should be more optimistic..

Haydn Symphonies Vol. 31

Bought it

 *Yawns*

I'm so tired...

Better not fall asleep during sectionals...

40% off

So as it seems,

40% off enables me to get Walton's Belshazzar's Feast recordings

At only SGD$10.20

And there's more on the "40% off" list..

Way a lot more treasures..

Will be making a return trip to HMV in the afternoon..

Zozo

Just finished watching it..

I like the plot..

There are some moments that will make you want to cry..

Like when Zozo's family was wiped out by terrorist attacks..
Yes,please go watch it....

The Syrian bride

Nice movie..

Watched it yesterday and I love the ending..

Foreign Films are the best option to kill off boredom...

Illegal Downloading.......so?

 

More new music/bands to listen...

The more space it takes up on my beloved laptop....

Confessions

School starts in 2 weeks time..

For almost 5 weeks,have been returning to school like almost everyday without hesitation..

Been attending CCA(s)..

I'm very sincere about attending..

And when school starts,

more performances,more studying

more projects,more practices

Hardcore...

Red Army Choir

I've been shopping these past few days..

But today's the last day cause I don't need anything else..

Bought the recordings of The Red Army Choir(Now known as Alexandrov Ensemble)

Got to admit they're really quite awesome..

But what's more awesome is that the 3 recordings I bought cost a total of only SGD$42..

See cheap source of entertainment that last a lifetime...

Church of Holy Sepulchre

Partly the reason(s) why I want to visit the Holy City of Jerusalem..

The Interior of the church is so magnificient..

Stunning..Awesome..

Read up more about it on Wikipedia.

Fanfares and Ovurtures

Wind Band Classics newest release(August)

Hehe..Thought They would never be shipped into my country..

But they did anyway and I grabbed it..

$14..It's worth it..

It's my 8th Wind Band Classics album collection ..

Music for Prague was superb..

Old time classics...

Set my eyes on these precious...

Borders selling it at $22.95..

Been looking for this..

Couldn't find this anywhere except online..

I'm not gonna wait for week or perhaps months

Honegger music is awesome,especially his Symphony no.3

The Snows of Kilimanjaro..

Sadly it's a bit too old-school for the contemporaries..

But the scores were well written.
I just bought the recordings for like 16 bucks...cheap...

Now you got something to do - 1

Bored? Try doing the following :

Rate passers by
Secretly award passers by marks out of ten as you go along, offering (unsaid) expert criticism over their clothing, hairstyle and footwear choices. 

Make prank phone calls
Very entertaining, but requires discipline. Remember - vulgarities don't make a call funny, but getting the other person to believe a ridiculous story will. Try seeing if you can get them to make noises to 'test' the line. One to get you started off: Call McDonalds with weird complaints about their food.

In The Ghetto...

Tuesday is gone just like that *snaps finger*

Just  downloaded more new songs..

Blues,Country,Electronic,Rock,Alternative,R&B,Metal,World,Jazz etc..

My MP3 is more like a Radiostation with varying genres.

And I'll be working on Thursday..

Means I'll not be practicing Erhu in the afternoon..

love?

:)

One-eyed doll

  New obsession...

Kimberly Freeman

Another Band outing..

Well, I could but I wouldn't...

I have sectionals in the afternoon,I'm not gonna skip..

Spammage of performances..

Family Concert in about a month's time..

I have to discipline myself...

2 hours each on both Double Bass and Erhu..

Let miracles happen..

The new old

Brought home an Erhu with the intention to practice..
It might take a long time to master it...

 Watching 2 more operas this week....

Nightmares & Confessions

Every time I close my eyes...
It invades my mind..

These thoughts..

Has been plaguing my mind for days now...

Causing me to have sleepless nights.. .

Katya

Just realised all the operas I've watched so far involves the death(s) of the main character at the end..

Apathetic

In hopes and desperation..

Please..

Let everything be alright.

Forlorness

 

 Loneliness is my new best friend......

Insomnia

Hate it when I can't get to sleep...

Now that I'm completely awake,I guess I'll just watch an opera 

Norma this time round..

I'll save Katia Kabanova for later 

 

 

 

Slept only for 2 hours ...

All these thoughts plagued my mind 

and got me in deep thoughts throughout the night...

I just need someone to talk to...

Sid

Here's another mask that I really adored..
I love the metal spikes that protudes.
Worn by the Slipknot's Keyboardist..


Anyway This week's Saturday was well-spent..

But I had to lived with the guilt of skipping sectionals..Sorry guys...

And I didn't go for my Secondary school class outing..
 2 operas to watch...

In Remembrance..

9/11/2001 ... We remember..

Joey

Blood flows out through the eyes of an innocent

I just adore this mask.

It's beautiful...

Psychotic

Alright,
I know this might sound shocking/insane/crazy/lunatic/mentally ill/bizarre/psychopathic/cuckoo/senseless/idiotic /irrational/out of one's mind..

But I kinda like Asylums...

t.A.T.u

It all started when I wanted to listen to something new...
Now this..
I'm addicted to them...

они горячи!
