Hello people.

It's 1 am now.

I don't know what's running through my head now but somethin's bothering me. Don't ask. Maybe i'm just having that occasional i'm-sleepy-but-i-don't feel-like-sleeping-yet syndrome.

Maybe i just feel like yakking.

I sat for Physics today. Surprisingly i managed to finish the paper and still have a couple of minutes left. It's amazing how i work best under pressure, despite Mr. Zaini walking around in the exam hall, trying his very hard to speak softly but failing at it miserably. Cause you see, Mr. Zaini is probably the person with the loudest voice i've ever heard all my life. As a matter of fact, i think he installed some nano-voice-amplifier in his throat cause boy, he's really loud. I think during Physics paper i heard him annoyingly sayin somethin like,

"If you know your UNITS, your physics would be BEAUTIFUL!"

Yea. I think some student was askin him a physics question and he being the ever so intense and passionate physics lecturer, who is extremely particular about units, got annoyed. I was laughing to myself, watching him walkin around looking at students' answer sheets and getting annoyed by mistakes made here and there. Haha.

Nevertheless, i still do respect him a lot. He's an interesting combination of Louis Armstrong, Mr. Kuldip and my dad.

Anyway, it has been an excruciatingly long month of studying. 5 papers down, 3 more to go.

Chemistry is on Thursday and at this particular moment, "Nanotechnology" on my chemistry notes is staring at me, giving me that look. You know, that look. But i can't help but humming that Nano candy song in my head each time i read the word "nano". In case you don't know, that song goes like this : "NANO nano nano NANO nano nano NANO nano nano NAAAAAA........."

I think.

Alright, retiring to bed now.

Guess i'll go for karaoke at Mybox after Chem paper with Christine. Join us, anyone?

Signing off. Ta!

Counting the days

Hey guys, i haven't been blogging much lately. Now don't blame me. Blame the exams! and the soul-emptying cell i'm in right now. Gotta watch more episodes of Prison Break to figure a way to escape. But in the meantime, i shall enjoy the torture i'm having in the cell, cause i foresee the day, THE DAY, the 17th of Nov, as the day when :


1. All the prisoners will be set free, and return home.

2. All the prisoners will empty the very homely cells they've been locked in for one & a half years.

3. Some will say, "OMG i missed papa and mama so much! so happy to go home!"

4. Some will say, "Yeeerr but i'm starting to like this cell le..." (these people have gone nuts.)

5. But most of the prisoners will be delighted to finally see daylight and breathe sweet fresh air.

6. And they will be having an awesome time rejoicing and enjoying FREEDOM!

7. Maybe they will cry and hug each other and say goodbye with a heavy heart. "for over a year, we've been livin together, eating together, studying together, moaning together, laughing together, crying together, bathing together, sleeping together (ok i shouldn't get further), and now WE'RE PARTING!!"

but half of their hearts would shout out,

"omg we're leaving now like, FINALLY..............."


Yea. That very bittersweet day will be here. Very very soon.

But oh well, undeniably however, it'll be quite an emotional day, i think.



"Aiya why so emo.... next year coming back what."

yea la, POTONG STIM wei.

I can't wait to get this over with. Exams please quickly come and go.

Meanwhile, listen to John Mayer.

Slow dancing in a burning room. Enjoy. ^^

It's just one of his older songs i very much adore. New album Battle Studies will be released soon but he's doing more acoustic stuffs this time. Was kinda hoping to hear more blues from him cause he freakin kicks ass when doin blues but apparently i've gotta keep waiting.

Steph will be flying off to London next Wednesday. She invited us for a really lovely dinner at her place last night.

from left : Denise, EeVon, Melissa, Ester, Lavnya, me and Steph.

After dinner, we even had desserts! Chocolate walnut brownies + vanilla ice-cream + chocolate sauce dressing. Lovely.

Steph entertained us well. And damn, i love her piano. Great tone.

Feels good to get together one last time before you leave, Steph. Thanks for inviting us over! It was a sweet, pleasant one indeed.

All the best to you in London!

Gonna miss you, girl.

I watched Secret last night. Secret, the Chinese movie by Jay Chou.

Know what? I think Jay Chou rekindled my liking for classical music.

And this guy is original. His music, composition, idea and storyline. All beautifully showcased through this original piece of art - Secret.


Sometimes, i'd wish i had all the fundamental raw materials needed to pursue music - that very field i've always been so curious about, but waaaay out of my reach.

Self-awareness? Yeah i have it. Sufficiently.

of sand, water and people.

Chai Lian's birthday was fun. Not only did we get to enjoy the cool rejuvenating sea breeze of Gold Coast Sepang and indulge in mouth-watering seafood cuisines,

CORRECTION : the sea breeze actually had this really strange smell which reminded me of rotten cockerels, and the seafood was already cold when we arrived cause we ordered earlier but nonetheless, it was a satisfying meal, probably cause we were all super hungry we could eat a boat, or the rotten cockerels i mentioned earlier.

Anyway, where was i?

Oh yea. Not only did we get enjoy the cool rejuvenating sea breeze of Gold Coast Sepang and indulge in mouth-watering seafood cuisines,

We also had a great time watching the sweetest thing in the universe.

Yeah that's Beh and Chai Lian the birthday girl, having a great time and totally forgetting and ignoring our presence and existence.

So the rest of us neglected and forgotten ones had to resort to pulling, pushing and dragging one another into the water and be happy.

This is currently the most popular and talked-about pic on Facebook.

Oh and the dress we bought for Chai Lian fits her perfectly! Who says Chai Lian can never wear a dress???

and if i'm not mistaken, the minute Chai Lian came out of the changing room in the dress, Beh was drooling.

dream come true

Let me tell you a story about a girl named.....err lets just call her Pino.

Pino is this really vibrant girl with a colourful personality. Being the confident person she is, she never fails to exude this really strong positive energy and brighten up everyone's life all the time. She's fun, she's wacky, and she's spontaneous. Never had i met anyone as spontaneous as her. Give her some random object like a toothbrush, for instance, she could immediately pose voguely with the toothbrush and start a photoshoot session in a mere 1 second.


Pino was 18 going on 19 so a few weeks before her 19th birthday, a bunch of her good friends asked,


"Hey Pino! what do you want for your birthday?"


Pino wanted a lot of things but the wacky side of her decided to take control at that particular moment, so she said loudly yet maybe a lil too excitedly,


"I want a pilot stripper!"


Her friends were in awe. They thought, they worried and they wondered,


What do we do now? We can't possily get a REAL pilot stripper for her?!



They were clueless.







But as the saying goes, If There's A Will, There's A Way.



Well,


IT'S GODDAMN TRUE!







Pino celebrated her 19th birthday with her friends


and her birthday wish was granted.


Well, almost.

(PIC REMOVED DUE TO ITS FUYOH-WTF-NESS.)

Super sexy singlet, colourful boxers, sexy blue tie, bathroom slippers.

Close to a pilot stripper!

Pino was extremely touched and happy and jumping for joy to have finally met the pilot stripper she had always dreamt of. She hugged all of her friends, thanked them and treated them dinner.

Guess what, that's not true!

The Actual Truth is,

Pino was extrememely TRAUMATIZED. and she scolded her friends stupid stupid stupid!

It's okay, Pino. We know we're sweet and you love us. =)

Happy birthday, Lynthia!

LOL.

^ ^

Holidays!

Yeap. Feelin' good.

Finally Got it.

I've always wanted to master contemporary skills in piano playing. I've got the pop, the ballads, the rock. Those definitely aren't enough. I'm still missing the fundamental blues and jazz, which i very much adore. The downside is, they're relatively more difficult and time-consuming, hence i planned to spend my post-A-level holidays You-Tubing to pick up those skills.

Fortunately, i had the amazing opportunity to attend a music seminar at the Emperor's Hotel, Melaka today, organized by The Australian Guild Music & Speech Examination Board. My piano teacher called and told me about this seminar for which she strongly advised me to go. Basically, it's a workshop for piano players ranging from higher-grade music students up to senior piano teachers in mastering contemporary piano playing. - Pop ballads, Rock, Swing, Funk, Rhythm Block, Waltz, Country, Slow Rock, Latin Rock, Samba and most importantly BLUES!

How could i miss such an awesome learning experience?

And yes, i skipped classes today. Trial exams next week. Guilty guilty guilty.

But it's definitely worthed it.

The speaker was Karen Ng, a well-sought-after pianist/performer/drummer/musician in our country. Her speech and demonstrations were precise, effective and absolutely useful.

I'm so lovin' blues.

Guess my song of the day shall be Gary Moore's "Still Got The Blues".

*song plays~~*
