We all live only once...

talent quest 2008 has to be one of the most awfully organized competition i ever attended...
or maybe the fact that i was judging made me see all the flaws of both the organising committee, and how they made us judge...

results were shocking as well for people who were judging, and the audience...
but i saw so mani potential singers with so much love, creativity and passion for music...

was taking a walk around chinese garden after dinner myself just now when i saw a couple approaching me, laughing as they were feeding each other soya bean milk bought from the mr bean stall located at the chinese garden mrt station...

and i felt a something i couldn't describe...
a feeling that i dont remember ever feeling before...

a lot to type abt my day actually... but i'm lazy
so i'll just cut it short.

was hoping to see her today even if it was wiv her boyfren in MOS.. coz its an nus event.. so i thot she might be going..

and den i didnt
but i finally had some social life going on today..
made new frens...
met up wiv old sec1/2 fren zhifei, tgt with his 2 hall friends, michael's frens celeste and mel...
teaching music and tuition and studying is taking a toll on my social life..
not forgettin rehearsals for gigs, etc.
urgh

meanwhile... i just fell in love with this girl's voice..
tay kewei...
my fren tay kexin's elder sister..
n man.. she's good..
visit taykewei.blogspot.com to get what i'm tryin to say..
makes my music feel amateurish..

den again, we all love music...
i hope both kewei and kexin make it big! :)

p.s. pls vote for kexin in stardust

btw, i'm performing at talentquest finals... and judging the event as well...
so ppl who are goin down... do let me know :D

meanwhile...
i need some rest...
(without studying)

ah welll...

remember the knock on the window pane in the middle of the night...

how stupid of him..
anger rules over the mind.
it makes u warped.

he could have done something. but he didnt.
he just watched her walk away.

thats how life is isn't it?
he. she, we, i...
all make decisions in life that we can never rectify.
because time never waits.
and even simple things like the plate of chicken rice u've just eaten is history.

this banner on the bottom of my screen caught my attention..


seriously... ppl think of all ways to make money.

who would actually believe in this...

or maybe there might be...

but still, i thought i would share... :D

i'm worried for myself.
especially when i'm alone...

why do i behave like that alone...

in the process of creating my own proper home recording studio room..

finally converting my extra rm into a music rm...

despite the equipments, still feels like sth's missing... probably amps and guitars... just that i dont play em...



and i'm fallin ill.. horrendous cough, loads of phlegm, and runny nose.



meanwhile... i'm goin to continue to try and decorate the rm to make it look like a real mini studio :D



and den i can probably open it up to do some small recording business as well =D

bad habit that requires instant justification:

i shall, will stop betting on random soccer matches for the sake of getting a random highness.
gambling is not good.
so i should stop gambling.

haha...
bet mani of u never ever think i gamble...

OH WELL.. just for de fun of it..
but i shld stop now..

i hope things turn for the better.

so many movie-like images running through my mind..
and i'm awake at 4am. there it goes.

was watching xing guang da dao...



beautiful melodies,

heartfelt lyrics,



thats what the beauty of music is about...



my dream is:

to one day influence people with my music.



and until that day comes, i hope anyone or everyone or someone would give me the support...

and my hair now was supposed to look like this..

whatever happened! haha..

so now there's a problem with me updating my blog
a problem with me going out.
superb.
whats wrong with not wanting to blog about private stuffs?
whats wrong with blogging about daily happenings?
whats wrong with blogging when i feel like it?
blardy bullcrap

dinner with michael at delifrance today..
had a nice interesting talk..
sometimes it feels good just sitting down having some guy to guy talk...

especially at times when i just know that
NOBODY understands me.

stupid test for ss and nm's over.
nm wasn't tt bad. but tell u, ss was ridiculous.

qn 1 linked to 2, linked to 3, linked to 4.
so if u dint noe qn1, say bye to qn2, qn3, and den qn4.
and being so intelligent, i actually didnt noe how to do qn1, so dere goes my marks for qn 2, 3 and 4.

what the hell is environment possiblism?
it doesnt even sound right... sounds gramatically wrong...
and despite reading my textbook, i dont even remember coming across such a term...

so dere it goes. i spent the whole of my test time making up an answer actually. .and my answer went like that:

environmental possibilism is the likelihood for man to create an alternatively eco-friendly landscape with the usage of nature inspired greenery in order to inadvertently prevent the city from becoming in a bad state of pollution.
sounds good huh?
bt guess wad, its just bullcrap.. haha... rubbish.
i bet the marker would laugh her head off when she reads that...

with the cheem-ilogy terms in order to pretend as if i noe wad it is.. :S

okay. i'm still at the library now.... and i'm relieved at least dat nm and ss's over.
and so it goes. my school day is frm 8am till 6pm today. and i'm generally exhausted already, tohugh its only 1145am.. .:

in the rapid modernization of our city state Singapore and advancement of technology, i have suddenly grown to notice how we have been ...

1. gradually influenced by Western culture
2. due to exhorbitant pub prices, seemingly not enjoying the finest things in life such as wine and music..
3. been spending hours on the computer not doing anything much instead of perhaps strolling along the beach with your loved one

random thoughts have led me to thinking the following...

1. i would like to spend a week away from the west, and perhaps residing in the East just so that i can tell people i know Singapore from the west to the east.

2. i would like to be sipping wine and listening to live soothing jazz or instrumental music in a pub without having to worry about wasting money or stuffs... everyday.... not worryin abt catching the last train home, last bus, or whatever...

3. i would like to start writing pen-letters to friends instead of the regular hi bye conversations online.

4. i would like to make my first 20k by the end of the year 2008.

which reminds me as i'm typing this...
i've sort of fallen in love with symphony 92.4 again all of a sudden. the last time i actually enjoyed such music was during my A levels... the wonderful melodies of the strings, the chords from the piano, the orchestra playing in free flow time.... its a good break away from pop/mainstream music really.... its always good to be exposed to various music...

and also, watched Spiderwick Chronicles with my parents, cousin, qiling and denise yesterday... it was some sneak preview and company event Cisco, so we got to watch it for free...

Movie's rather nice actually.. though i guess the way it ended probably meant that there wld't be much room for a sequel..
here's some photos...





























----------
on a sucky note, down to new media and singapore studies exams. how do i even study for back to back exams from 8-10 and den 10-12.. my brain can only keep one set of subject in within a day.

"its alright, i'm intelligent. i'll make it", mutters John to himself..

1. i'm absolutely uncomfortable about how the JI member escaped the detention centre with ease,and how he is free now and able to plot activities against Singapore.

2. i'm absolutely exhausted from teaching, studying, and just thinking.

3. i'm absolutely clueless if superband with an acappella group is more powerful, or an acoustic F.I.R. style kind of band with a girl as one of de singers.
