Iridescent

Well it's been a topsy-turvy kind of week so far...

Had my violin Grade 8 exam on Tuesday. Strangely I didn't feel like super nervous. As in ya lah, I was nervous, but not until like my Chinese O Level. Which should've been the case, given that the preparation period for this was twice as long. Do badly ah, wah jialat liao. But yeah, the actual thing went ok... pieces and scales went fine. Sight reading, surprisingly, almost smooth, though I did ignore thw dynamics. Aural was a bit disappointing. Chords, screwed up as expected. But sight singing was... *facepalm* haiyo... modulations.I think my 2nd one might've been wrong. Description was the only smooth one :P So yeah, hoping for a distinction. Results out in 2-3 weeks...

Last Saturday was disappointing... but that's it then, I guess. A wake up call... not to have such a high opinion of ourselves. It's almost karmic how we lost really badly to some of the schools we were virtually laughing at. ACSI Sea, for instance, got a lot of potential. The improvement from last year to this year was tremendous. Imagine 3-4 years down, what they could achieve. Bedok View also, this year already rivalling YTSS and HCI in all but choreography. So that's that then... just have to learn from our mistakes and support tmr's FSD with all we've got. We have a real chance at it I tell you :)

Wednesday went to watch Wicked, which was like awesome! You don't get this kind of soul-touching moments too often. The things it makes you think about are really causes for our own self-reflection, hoping we can strive to be a better person. Definitely worthy of the standing ovation it received.

So yeah, I guess sometimes we are really just too caught up in the hustle and bustle of everything. Now holidays cannot relax also. But like, must always be aware of not just of what goes on around us, but inside us also. Like letting everyday change you from your original self. Snapping at others because you're too stressed and annoyed or using some poor innocent to vent your anger because of some injustice done to you. So yeah, we just have to let all this go instead of bottling everything. Then we can stay ourselves, instead of having someone say ''You've changed'' and you dread the reason why they said that.

Insects

People are disgusting.

So many people in Syria are dying. Not cos ''certain'' countries humji. They just don't want ''waste money''. But Libya CANN what. Got oil mah! So much more oil! 3% if I'm not wrong. But no, Assad bombs Homs and hundreds die yet no one wants to give a fuck. Stupid Russia and China. Trying to uphold a piece of shit in power to protect their own investments. Superior weapons against superior numbers. The ultimate recipe for disastrous slaughter. What we need now is someone to go in and kick ass. Election year then suddenly everyone so ''considerate''. Libya worked didn't it? So much for humanitarian aid, Syria's dead civilians dwarf Libya's already but still no action is taken. Innocent journalists and people dies in Homs. ''Terrorist attack''. Fucking bullshit. Whatever happened to R2P? Looks like we never really did learn from Rwanda.

Now come out this Kony fellow. Bloody cockroach. LRA my ass. Want to be a douchebag go use some other title. Not like we have enough bad press already, still want to use the ''L'' in LRA. War crimes under the name of God. Over-zealous retard. Someone needs to stop this guy.

Second Chances

We got into the finals:) Honestly didn't expect it. But the Part Cs did well with the choreo to warrant some redemption, so good job. Real battle's in 2 weeks. I think I should've gone down to supervise earlier... now quite rush to perfect everything. But hopefully can push them for the trainings before finals. Target top 5... definitely can if now screw ups.

Confirm :)

Kind of wish I was a Part C now. Then I'd be looking forward to POP, not the opposite. I would've tasted my first final in a HQ competition. All those years, now I wish I was right there on the parade square instead of watching the efforts of others. Culmination of years of effort. So much potential. Hopefully it isn't wasted.

We'll be champions one day:)

2 countdowns now.

Sometimes you can have all the friends in the world and yet be the most screwed up. You talk like everything's good and perfect. But today you couldn't even face that direction. No attempt madr to walk up. And funny how we're on opposite sides of the spectrum.

''Because one cannot live while the other survives''

Hope I can maintain for Prelim 2. Really really wish this term wasn't just a fluke ><

13 March. Freedom.

Tolerism

Haha the word doesn't even exist. It's supposed to be tolerance, and somehow I inadvertently used the title instead when I was talking to Weng Han the other day. Gosh, brain fry liao.

Is it weird that I want get back my results faster? I always get the feeling that I fulfill my own expectations, but usually that never happens. Other classes all get back already...

First Affirm training today. Didn't know Chiam was also part of it lol. Saw him then I surprised. I still can't believe the tee so ex. Don't even have name then $24 :/ Started off flying the Diamond. Ugh the sensitivity on it is just annoying sometimes. Motor so heavy, want turn always overshoot and drop.. did ok enough, so I convert to the Tulip :D Haha, to its credit, the colour combination quite nice. But symmetrical colours still nicer... looks a lot like the SB. But the tail super cool. Like shark fin liddat *cue Jaws music* Then Danial lah, crash his Tulip into the ammo dump. Now have to go through 2SIR to get it ._. Supposed to T-loan out the kites & transmitters today cos Friday supposed to go ACSI. But DC say he Friday CMI, so too bad. Well at least I don't need miss the first probation.

Sometimes you think so much then you end up mentally scolding/hitting yourself. Too depressing sometimes. Unacceptable. Today just bullshit lah :D

Lol the Call Me Maybe video is Most Viewed this week. So rare you see celebrities acting candidly and fooling around. The song's nice also:)

Waiting For The End

It's true you know, sometimes you wonder if everything you did made a difference. What if you study like siao but Os damn cui? What if work your ass off but nothing is achieved? What if after all that time close friends become nothing more than an obscure memory? Haiz. It might not matter on a whole, but it might matter to that one starfish.

Hehe, see what I did there?

Tsk, becoming more and more lame. MUST be cos of certain teachers. CERTAIN teachers...

And then you happen to find those kind of people, like when I was reading Autumn. You get the people act like some big shot, but when it comes to the actual thing, they crumble. The reasoning is simple enough. But I don't know, sometimes that's bad, sometimes otherwise..

Not like we have a zombie apocalypse yet. Really leh, I think our generation is more prepared for that than for national exams. I personally think it'd be quite cool, that is to say, if I survive the source of the apocalypse in the first place. Then don't need worry about Os.

Passed HCL, hallelujah. Just only lol, 49.5. Then they'll round up. I seriously didn't expect to pass. Now I'm just happy I'm not the lowest in class (well, according to ZB). Aiming for my original Term 4 target of <15pts. Then slowly work my way down.

I'm nearly falling asleep lol.

Next week will signal the decrescendo of our term.

Just 1 more week.

Good Night.
