First weekend of the new year

This is the first weekend of the new year... have to say its a pretty short week... (monday was off day, thus a 4 day week) the week went pass pretty quickly too i must say... starting to get the hang of things in band and also with my batch people...

Yesterday was a long day, its started off with drill where we went through the entire routine of the drill test... Staff say there wasn't problem with my drill only that i have to speak up louder during the reporting... Then the drill was interrupted as we were asked to go try on our No. 3 tops and No.1 and 2 bottom, feels great and look great in those bottom, can't wait to try the top too... heez... Anyway after the tryout we all went to get out things and went for out break and lunch... lunch is longer on the friday as the malays have to go for prayer... but i had physio (for my shoulder) at 1.30, hence went back to bunk to get change and went for physio... at the Medical center, i was introduced to several machines that will aid in the recovery of my shoulder. i was given specific instructions on how each machine works and how many reps to do, after that i was left on my own to work things out.... feeling great finally able to do things with my arms again... but there was a couple of machines that brought the ache into my shoulder... but i guess that is pretty normal, no pain no gain... Anyway my session ended at about 3.30 with a heat treatment to get my blood circulated... Afterwhich was back to bunk, change and headed back to the white house. Had about an hour of IP, of which i spend practising my scales. then was packup for home... Made a trip do to nyp, had promised to give sectionals to some of my fellow musicians while the rest have orchestra practise... first worked with them on their tone... after which had a combine sectionals with the clarinets... was a rather fun session as we worked all the way till about 10 pm... was tired but was a meaningful day spent for me....

Today, is the starting year's first weekend, spent it at home.... coz the weather have been so bad today making me reluctant to go out... was watching Singapore Vs indonesia first leg tiger cup finals juz now... Shockingly, Singapore played superbly and taking a 3-1 victory over indonesia... the one goal for indonesia was simply shouldn't be there if not for singapore slack of alertness in the very last minute, but nevertheless, we have a high chance of reviving cup title dream since 199. GO LIONS!!! heez... okok too carried away... haven plan much for tml...have a family dinner over at my aunts place tml evening so my evening is more or less occupied but really unsure about the morning... just take it as it comes i guess.. Next week will be yet another tough week.... and signifies one week closer to my exams (1st and 2nd or febuary or so i was told) Jia you to myself i guess... nights to all...

First blog 2005

Happy New Year to all!!! as we have send 2004 away and welcome 2005 with open arms, I can't help but feel sad that we have to end the year with such a major disaster (Asia Tsunami).. As the rescue mission is still being carried out, my prayers are with the families of those people still missing and uncontactable and my condolences with those families who have lost their love ones in this unfortunate even... May God be with them through this rough times and bring them peace of mind...

Anyway, back to my blog... had a pretty quiet new year i would say, spent it over at zhi sheng place this year... No one is really celebrating (who would at this kinda times). Was waiting for the gang to arrive at zhi sheng place, coz i didn't went to meet them at tampines so i went to bedok myself, so happened that Eunos have cancelled their celebration and have transform it to a donation drive for the accident... Was kinda drawn to it as i stood around to listen to their talk... and also play my part in the drive.... After which, i stroll around the neighbourhood, waited for the guys for close to an hour, before i met up with zhi sheng to go get them... then we proceed to zhi sheng place... its was like chinese new year as the whole place was so "re nao" once we reach there... lolx... and since his relative was still working on the food, me and 3 more kaki worked on the majong table first... heez... Dinner was great, got a feeling we are at marina south... heez...then we watch movie after dinner... that is when things kinda tone down as its already passed midnight so we didn't wan to wake the neighbours... Watched kungfu hustle and polar express (pirated), managed to survive KFH but 15 mins into poolar express i couldn't make it and fall asleep, simply knocked out... haha... but at 4 plus i tink i woke up again... and we atlk awhile and gossip... then xiu also couldn't take it no longer so by 7 plus we took another short nap, still remember she hid behide my back then i didn't dare to turn... hahaha well there was an episode when we woke up an hour later but shall not go into details on that... then after which we dragged our tired bodies home...

Spent the entire new year day at home, did some packing of clothing to be donated to the victims of the tsunami... then at night when to catch movie with my gang at night... watch Kungfu Hustle (pirated see liao not that song) and Meet the Fockers, was really funny couldn't stop laughing... and that was my day...

Today is almost similar to yesterday, can say slacked at home the entire day too, doing nothing but watch television and surf the net. Its been raining the entire day making me reluctant of going out... hopefully its will be better next week as i really wish to go and do some rowing (dragon boat) next week.. haha oppz... sshhh... better not let my mum finds out about it.. hee... alright then, i guess thats all Hope everyone start the year right and may 2005 brings more adventures in your (as well as my own) lives....CHEERS!!!
