doubt Nothing beats clearing your doubts with the person him/herself. Hearing the words from the person makes it so much more relieving. I think I took the longest journey I ever took home today. From the unknown territory of Serangoon to the comforts of home, it cost me 3 bus rides. One was to the interchange, the other to a bus stop with the bus I could take home, and finally the ride home. Total time taken was approximately 1 and a half hours, about 20 songs were played on my journey. So taking that each song is about 4 minutes, yeah I guess the timing is around there. The bus was way too crammed to take a nap. Aiy, band tomorrow morning. Starting off with a bang, from drills. I don't know what could be more boring. Ugh... Busy times we live in...

distraught It's like a coin toss that you want to be rigged, when everything's against your conscience and you just don't know whether to accelerate or not. It's like a game of spin the bottle where you want the bottle to only point to one person, and when the bottle's almost ready to point that direction, that person leaves the seat. Like water through your palms, seeping through the tiny gaps in your fingers. There's no way you can "preserve" all of it. It's a rather confusing feeling. Your mind says no but your heart wants to say yes. Be smart or listen to your heart, I don't think I can consider it a decision that I have to make, only time will tell. Yes or no, it's a tough question I never thought I needed to answer. Sunday, July 26, 2009
afk Well, it's been about a week or so since I last vandalized this space of mine with random words and rantings. The past week has gone by so fast that I don't really know what I've been doing really. I'm just living life as it comes along. Sooner or later, I've gotta' change this happy-go-lucky attitude of mine, though it seems to get things done efficiently, I can't even remember doing anything at all. Thinking deeper in to it, this year has gone by way too quickly, at least quicker than what I expected. It's hard to keep up with the pace of the transition from a clueless Sec 2 student to an adept Sec 3 student who leads in his CCA and other commitments. I heard the change was going to be big, but I didn't expect to be such a huge step. I guess whining about it won't solve anything but accepting the reality of the situation is perhaps my only option. I don't know when this prolonged period of absence will last but maybe it'll be short-lived, who knows. AEP has been consuming up quite a bit of my time lately, projects, workshops and exhibitions all need to be covered, not sure if I have the time to cope. Well I can't surmise the outcome when I myself isn't doing anything much to resolve my own needs. With time to come, maybe more answers will be divulged... Friday, July 17, 2009
12 I need money! Thinking of selling my drumset and getting a new one in the near future. Hopefully I'll be able to find a buyer. I wish originality grew on trees, but that'd be pretty ironic wouldn't it? Heh, speech day tomorrow, FINALLY! I really do hope the practices ease up in the weeks to come. Geez, playing for parade is possibly one of the most boring things you can do as a percussionist. Hot weather, thick blazers and 30 minutes or more under the sun, not very nice to experience. Managed to get a new resonant skin for my snare! Yeah it broke somehow and I didn't really know. Bringing it to school tomorrow, hope nothing happens to it. Love, hate aiy, we all have our own personal problems, it's how you hide it from people that matters. So many different complicated stories from each individual can bring everybody even closer as time matures. Still it's hard to picture friends together in the far future, perhaps 40 years from now (which I hope I'll live to see). Wait and see... Sunday, July 12, 2009
1/2 ![]() ![]() ![]() 1, 2 or 3? peds ![]() Ain't she just a beauty? Some day... Argh, I'm aching in parts I never thought could ache. Finally managed to get a breather from all the daily activities in school. Actually, the only thing occupying my time is band, grr. Went to SIA Group Club after the meeting in church. Headed for the gym then to the pool. My body's really feeling pretty tired now, but my mind isn't. Hate it when that happens, you can't sleep. Hope tomorrow's lessons aren't too packed with overwhelming information. I'm just too tired to handle it, not forgetting how bad the food in the canteen is. They don't even sell candy anymore, my sugar intake's gone down the drain. Well at least there's two periods of Bio tomorrow (: PS: I don't take Bio. Saturday, July 11, 2009
anti-cig ![]() Funny how anti-ciggs comics always make it seem more bad ass. All credits go to ~Bob-Rz of http://deviantart.com ® Dying to get in the water. Friday, July 10, 2009
speech ![]() Garh, it was a tiring day today, can't imagine standing in the hot sun for so long in our blazers during speech day next saturday, there's going to be alotta' sweat shed, can't wait for it to be over. Today was yet another slack day lessons-wise, math teacher didn't come so it was 3 free periods after recess. I love the night weather, watching the light reflect of the water in the canal, seeing people running, hearing the crickets, it all happens after dark. My arms are aching now. Band practice as usual tomorrow, what a surprise, sigh. Thursday, July 9, 2009
distrust I don't get what I'm supposed to do to gain some trust back. First duty as IQM was stock check, didn't exactly know what to do so I just took it as sort of an attendance taking, making sure the instruments were all present I guess. Then had to take the Sec 1s alone thanks to my two faithful Sec 3s who abandoned me cos' one had "stuff" to do and the other had Chinese tuition. Didn't help that I was starting em' on mallets today, don't really know my basics very well, I can't say I'm a very good mallet percussionist either, hope my "theory lesson" wasn't too much of a bore for them. Oh didn't help much that SOMEBODY dropped the gong frame's leg on my big toe, put me in a whole lotta' hurt. It's all for the blues... Tuesday, July 7, 2009
sway Treez by ~baby-drummer23 on deviantART Well I guess life's like that. You gotta' stand and embrace the wind and rain and hope you don't get uprooted. You can only hope for the Sun to come up and bring you some light. Though I may not know you at all, I do feel sorry for you to be in such a situation, you may not require my sympathy but I guess it's human nature. I wonder what adults are thinking when they're in their long-term relationships. Do they get bored of the opposite party? Aiy, there's so little I can do. I'll have to choose my words wisely. Oh by the way, do check out my gallery :D I've been trying to promote it for awhile, hasn't been all that successful. For some reason I can't upload any pictures up here to blogger, grrr...

padre With a beer in his hand and a gun in the other, he's ready to shoot, about to pull the trigger. The muzzle pointed towards the sky, if he shoots, his body would fly. He thinks he is drunk, but he's as sober as a priest. The sweat excreted from the pores of his forehead widens, and it comes pouring. His finger's on the trigger, his mind is in a mess. Once his finger moves south, his body will be laid to rest. "Bring back those Sundays", he says, a week with 6 is not a week at all. Bring back those Sundays... Boom... Sometimes random stories and text just float around in my head and I just need it to get off my chest even though I don't exactly know what I'm really even talking about. Doubt anything really makes sense, unless you really read deep into it. I'll have to take awhile to get used to this jet black hair of mine, but I guess I won't be in any trouble in school now, heh finally. Homework's more or less complete too. I find it really ironic, that this so-called "holiday" called "Youth Day" is spent cooped up at home doing work restricted by the heavy rain pouring outside. This is truly great depiction of our youth ain't it? Gar, I was planning to cycle to tuition today, but I guess that was just a fantasy, there's no possible way I'd get there without my clothes soaked in rainwater. Ah well, I guess I'll have to wait for it to subside, I won't even be able to walk out to the bus stop dry. Wow, awesome timing, I just got a phone call and my dad's going to be able to pick me up, woohoo. New week ahead, '09 is really a very swift year isn't it. Familia poner tudos juntos.

SL Wow, as you can see from the date of this post, I haven't exactly had any time at all this week to update this old whiteboard. Well I guess I'll have to settle for Section Leader and Instrument Quartermaster, haha, I think I need a little time for me to let the duties settle in to this thick skull of mine. Ahh, the weather has really been pretty erratic, just like how school has been. Aiy, from yesterday's performance inside the Swiss Hotel I've seen what music really can do for Asians. I never knew us Asians could party so hard to music coming from a concert band on a minute-sized stage, especially the athletes from Laos, they were a crazy little bunch of bald people dancing so hard on their seats, hah. By the last song that we performed, everybody was outta' their seats and circling the ballroom in mambo lines, people were on each others' backs, it was kinda' like Madagascar, heh. Oh and yeah, I've almost regained my sleeping routine though I still am waking up late at times... okay most of the time, but I'll learn soon. Heh, glad to know I'm not on the top of the homework hit list this time, I'm starting to get organized. At least the start of this term wasn't that bad, I relatively understand most of the new topics like C.G for physics and Trigo for math. Chem's a whole new different story, heh. Speech day rehearsal today was a bore... |
I'm coming back with a goal
and nothing is gonna' stop me. |
