A Graduate!!! finally

Ladies and Gentlemen.... i have finally become a graduate!!! wah ha ha, seeing three years of hardwork paying off when recieving the piece of paper in front of fellow gradutes and some anxious parent (though mine never come...)

Yesterday was seriously a day i would remember for the rest of my life...dressed neatly with tie, waited anxious outside the auditorium to get in, while doing so, saw many familiar faces, people i haven met for the last 3 months man... classmates and frens from other school... some off the guys were even in their army uniform, reminding me that i will be in mine shortly as well... (sianz...) First met up with kelvinder, nothing much have changed in him, still the same old chap i used to know... heez... then was christina then linda... "the gang" of guys from my class didn't turn up... reason they gave was that they were too lazy to be in their formal wear... lame i thought... in actual fact this people are wearing formal for presentation for project and all, and now too lazy to dress and collect the fruit of their labour... heez... strange but well, its was up to them though... When we started moving in, there was a waiting area where we first stood and were sorted out based on our surname. There we where line up in rows, then, in an orderly matter proceed into the auditorium... As we walked in, suddenly everything that have been happening for the past 3 years seems to be flashing by me... and the audi was the best place as it was where i first started this journey... When we were all seated, there was a short demostration of the procedures to follow while taking the award... then the arrival of guest of honor, speeches made then was the actually ceremony... We were the first group to have taken the award... was very excited as i was waiting in line to get on stage... as then name were read out... and my turn starts to get closer... i was overwhelmed with excitment (thx god i didn't faint...haha).. Finally then moment arrived...the speaker said my name and i walked smartly to the director of my school holding my cert in his hand. As we shooked hands, he praised my dressing for the occasion and also congratulated... was a really happy moment... while walking back to my seat, people along the way was congraduating us as well... then when after us were student from other school also recieving their cert... there were alot of them, so my hand were practically numb from clapping, but still did so as it was everyone moment of life...When the ceremony was finally over, there was a short performance on stage, then more speeches (one of which was made by a fellow graduate) then it was offically over. Made a move outside the auditorium and started taking pictures. Ms Woot and Ms Soh was also present to share the happy moment with us... (thx Ms Woot and Ms Soh)... then as they rushed off to classes, i went to take picture with some other frens... like my biao jie and xue ting also... but once again technology have failed me as the digital cam i brought was low in batt once again... haiz... twice liao... didn't get to take picture with lots of pple like huiling and karen which i promised... haiz... Anyway... didn't get to see them as well... sort of lost them in the crowd... but will fated i guess.. =P... Didn't go to the reception they prepared for us... went straight to bandroom... Laoshi was already starting warm up when i got there... so putting my cert aside, got out my flute and begin practise... After practise, managed to take a few pic with a couple of them with the dieing batteries of mine... then was home i go...was really tired man... couldn't help it... had bun for dinner and also a couple of fruits... then caught "Spirited Away" on tv, was a really nice show, though i am uncertain of the message it was trying to convey but learn many things from the show too... heez... After that....was off to bed.... dog tired...

Today, will be going for band camp... so have to go prepare stuff to bring for camp... 3 days of camp.... first camp i will be offically attending... so cool man... but will be going to meet my boss at work first. they wanted to plan sort of a farewell party for me, it didn't happen when i left as all were rather busy then.... so this is sort of making up for it... heez.. Who knows.... maybe i can get a free hair cut... who knows... heez.. alright then...guess thats all i have for today then, gotta go do some packing already if not will be late liao.... tata

Graduation day!!!

Today, 5 of Augest, is a day to remember, coz its MY GRADUATION DAY!!! wah ha ha... finally a graduate and an offical diploma holder... make myself sound so old arh... heez...

Yesterday, was in school for sectionals, learn things from sherine, didn't knew her ability to pick up things was that fast.... felt the same amount of stress i once felt while having sectionals with Shu er (her sec school senior) when i was guest playing for NYJC, well.... more work have to be put in and more effort is to be put in by me too juz to catch up to their standard (lao le ba i guess... heez) after, the session, felt "the mood" acting up again... so decided to keep my stuff, walk out of bandroom, went to look for xiu to return the money i owe her, then we walked to north canteen for a drink where sherine and zhong xi was meeting me for a drink... then we talk about "the mood" of my, and since all are good frens i gave them some of the things i was troubling about, and was burdening me... Thx guy for your time, sometimes i do feel this worries is unneccessary, but i juz couldn't help it... donnno y (guess its in my blood....) Well, thx again anyway, was feeling better after talking things out... after that, walked xiu back to her lab so that she could sign out, then as we were leaving, met irene and may, irene was going to sign out as well...so we followed them.... i parted from them at the auditorium, as i still need to meet sherine and zhong xi on a "prata date" at jalan kayu...its was quite fun actually, joking and "suaning" each other all the way... zhong xi seems to be acting rather strange though, seem to have lots of things in mind (becoz of what i have said??? i am not sure or juz tired??? kept me tinking as well...) Anyway, when we reach there, we settled down before making order, first we had plain pratas and a chicken mutabak, and was really tasty, but as everyone was not really satisfied yet... we make a second order, and that time we (zhongxi and I) had more plain prata and we ordered an ice cream prata to share (for the 3 of us) its was very nice, there was three flavor of ice cream... strawberry, vanilla and chocolate all wrapped up in prata... and amazingly the prata is still crispy when we have it initally... was nice... hopefully get another chance of makaning there again before going in for NS.... heez... after that went to walked around rivervale shopping center, nothing much, but juz to kill time with sherine as she had plans later on that night... then after sherine left, zhong xi and i took bus 136 home... that was my day.... enjoyable.... thx guys for the wonderful day...

Today, graduation... donno happy or sad....there is a mixture of both i guess... happy is to see my three year of hardwork finally paying off... sad is maybe i am offically not a part of the skool and classified as "alumini" in band... heez... well not going to let that affect me.... maybe its a blessing in disguise , who knows... after gradutation will most likely be hanging around in school as i have band prac tonight.... last band prac as a student of nyp... And that will be my day then, have to go prepare myself for graduation later then.... shall not blog futher... take care everyone...

3rd day of freedom....2 weeks to losing it....

Morning people, thought i write my blog early this morning cause i might not be able to do so later on... today using my personal com, right in the comfort of my home "office"... heez...

Guess most of yesterday afternoon was already mention, so i shall not repeat much, was off for dinner with sherine and gang yesterday at fj... Sherine wore her nice billabong pink t-shirt she bought at one of the surf shop at manly beach (nice...) After dinner, walk slowly to bandroom, put angelina stuff in the pigeon hole before heading outside again as may was waiting for ivan and i need to get the blazzer from him.... when he arrived i gave the blazzer a try and its seems too short, so i return him on the spot (sorry arh ivan, for the trouble, thanks alot anyway)... then was back to the band room for practise, had abit of self warm up while waiting for lao shi to arrvie before heading inside for a proper warm up...then was practise on fantasy variation and all... lao shi's expectation of the band is rising but the band dun seem to be taking their music rather seriously... abit sad to say but at least some pple is putting in the effort, so glad to see that... A little hiccup happened in band, halfway through the piece, peiling complain of shortage of breathe and an increase of heart rate... lao shi, ask her to go take a break immediatly and ask some of the rest to get her warm water... juz like all father will do... got to see the caring side of lao shi yet again... After band, alot of things seems to be coming to mind... and was over taking my emotions again, didn't wan to affect the rest, i decided to walked away from the pack... who knows sherine and zhong xi came chasing after me... haha..thx guys... but i still continued thinking.... slowly my pace of walking reduced and everyone caught up and took over... leaving behind, me and keith, so we had a little chat... he was telling me that saf band might be going WMC (Holland) or Sweden next year, and with news that they will be one of the performing band in Wasbe next year, it tempts me even more to join them.... well will have to see how it goes then..

Anyway.... sort out my thought liao... so feeling abit better... will be going down to skool shortly to help out with sectionals... then wat plans after that i am not sure... we shall see how things goes then... haha no work liao.... so nothing to blog much about the day's happenings... Anyway its the 3rd day of my freedom and 2 weeks before i lose it...so have to make good use of everyday's time.... ok lah.....gotta go liao....shall blog again..... till next time.... Brabbit signing off...

A brand new day... a brand new life...

Hey there pple.... good noon.. heez... abit strange today coz i am blogging using my school computer rather than my company;s com....(haiz...missed it already)

Anyway... weekend was abit of a "packed" with activities (for saturday at least) work in the morning ended later then usual, coz it was my last day and have to clear some of "my stuff" from the pc... was hoping to burn all the stuff on a cd....but the stupid cd writer spoil....so ended up deleting lots of the stuff away...have sad... anyway, by the time i left the office was 3 plus,had to rush over to my aunties place to get digital camera... by the time got home was 5 plus, so took a quick shower and got changed for the concert that night, was in my prom dressing (dashing neh....=P) got down to suntec and met up with ah tom and bryan before proceeding to to esplande to meet up with the rest, was one of the more formal dressed there (jac and the rest are dressed casually) so felt abit odd and out of place...anyway, the concert was fantastic, met alot of familiar faces, some i haven met for ages, all are those that i have perform with before... Overall, its another wonderful performance put up the NTU and not forgotten Phil Winds... Dennis left after first half, actually msged me telling me he heading off to Lao Pa Sar for dinner, was tinking of meeting up with him, but was called off in the end coz after the concert, the group split up, ivan and may left, bryan, ah tom and xiu left together, leaving me with jac and gang, they were waiting for zhi sheng and i was waiting for my frens in the band to take a few pics with.... but when zhi sheng came out, they group left with him leaving me the onli one left there.... Alone i waited and waited for my frens to come out from the stage door, but it never happen, guess they must have left from another exit then... (juz my luck i guess) Met up with herbert, who happen to have attended dhssb/ych concert, then we took the train back together... Home, had a few biscuits (that was dinner) and a glass of milk before heading to bed... tired but meaningful day spend.... was having abit of a mood swing that day.... hehe....lucky wasn't that obvious to spot...heez...

Sunday, actually had plans to go to sentosa, but ended up staying at home, no mood and it poured heavily... was back to my normal routines of watching tv and surfing the internet.... My com was rather "guai" yesterday, seem to be functioning back to normal again... was online from 2 to 8 in the evening i guess.... apart of web surfing, i burn quite a number of cds, chat, and downloaded more songs from irc... been a long time since i last did that....was really fun...heez...then at night.... mom brought home dinner for me... fish soup (yummy....) finish it while watching SPAWN on tv... then was more tv.....watch GTO, nice show..... the gers very kawayi neh....heez...okok then after then.....did some workout before heading to bed......

This morning, woke up about 11 man.... i cannot believe i woke up so late as well... feel abit strange....maybe juz not use to waking up so late and dun have to go to work i guess...heez.... Took a shower and head to skool.... the feeling is strange... seeing so many new faces and the familiar environment, its like i am back to my skool life once more...hehe.....strange neh..... went to bandroom, and met up with the rest.... so fun, usually come the bandroom will be filled first time facing an empty bandroom... Might sound like a kid now.... but everything in skool is so great.... exciting...lolx...=P... Now happily blogging away at may's com... and sort of conquered her msn as well.... wah ha ha ha... for the moment lah... Anyway....guess thats all i have lah.... my first day as a free man once more....heez... blog again tml if i am coming down then...BUAI...
