I'm... back...!

Back after a good 2 ++ week of tours, workshops and performances... There may or may not be any update on my blog about my tours...

This is basically the first time I'm stepping into school after the long long long camp in early December... and guess what... freakin *ell... minute I step into school... the *umb$ss of the Admin person tells me a whole load of things i have no wish to hear... of which... one info... I'll state here... is that the T-I-C I've got... has screwed up a/cs... again??!?!?! WHY WHY WHY my T-I-C always this type of idiotic pattern? Can't I get a T-I-C who can happily and properly do Admin stuff?!?!?! friggin *ell....

what a wonderful end to the year... second i step into school after a long break, idiotic stuff comes up... goodness... when will all these crap end... (no comments needed here... i know there are some of you reading this who feel like commenting that I'm a fool and I'm living in my 'up there' music world... i know! hold ur tongues and fingers!)

3 crazy ladies... on the loose...

It's a crazy world... It's a crazy world...
Argh!!! the tune is so stuck in my head now... no thanks to you... CY...

2 more days to Japan...! Met up with the 3rd clrts from NIE today... SY, CW and myself had tea at Secret Recipe before heading to the theatre... to watch... Chicken Little... cute show... worth the $7... but not any more cuz very simply, the show was kinda short... there again, how much film can one put into such a simple plot...? nonetheless, cute show... our next outing... to watch Narnia!!! i seriously hope i can get a hold of that book and read it first before i watch it... seriously doubt that'll happen though...

Had a nice long and sinful dinner @ Mai beside plaza... The gathering was really cool... joking, laughing, 'suan-ing'... it's like we're old friends... that's actually not so (and even less so cuz we've never met up the 3 of us, outside of band prac, ever)... but somehow there seemed to be this no barrier thing... i think it boils down to 'we're all musicians and music students'... with a common goal, thinking, knowledge...

Let's see... still gotta settle Work Review... (i actually missed out one 2 years back...!) SOW... and pack my stuff!!! how on earth are all these things going to happen? Gotta post cards too... gosh... y am i still typing all these...

And so... a 'NEW' day awaits...

Maybe not so new...

This post is full of ramblings - ignore if sick and tired of ramblings...

Been waiting for this time to arrive for like... forever...? Why? cuz FINALLY I get to bum around at home and do nothing... but why is it I'm feeing guilty when I bum? hmm... Basically spent most of yesterday and today sleeping, staring @ laptop and TV... not very constructive things to do... heck...do I even care anymore? started pacticing piano again... dunno why... ok ok... something happened... that made me pick it up again... aim for LRSM... Guesses are welcomed... but... No prizes for anyone who guesses right about the sudden burst of 'enthusiasm' or otherwise...

It's the beginning of December... and promises made are meant to be kept, right? apparently not for some people... I'm soooo gonna fake ignorance... I told myself I'm not gonna bother about this matter anymore... but why am I still rambling? I suppose I'd like to get the situation out of my system... and perhaps get some perspective for myself... Yah... you're no longer the person you used to be... I'm of course curious as to what changed you... but I won't probe... I promised myself not to bother anymore... So... I won't bother... I may dump lots of thoughts and stuff here... but I won't bring myself to talk to you or ask you out anymore... cuz... you're just so numb and not worth it... You deserve better... I don't... Anyways... I'll keep myself soooo occupied tht I won't have the time to think about 'us' - the non-existential 'us'... tht IS my intention for the holidays... and when school re-opens, good-bye... cuz there'll be even less time.. what with all my exams to clear and lesson plans to do... ha... (who am I kidding... myself... it's just 'escapism'... but if it goes the way it goes... why not indulge in escapism...???)

There are times I feel that the wall's my best friend... just bang into it and stay there... and perhaps i'll just stick there and rot... till the day someone realizes it and decides to peel me off from the wall...

Finally... the end... awaiting yet another beginning...

Ended a super long 4d-3n camp in school on Fri... did the pupils learn anything...? I suppose so... @ least most of them would have learnt something... no matter the quantity or the quality... their attendance @ the band performance probably woke them up the most... managed to get Cal to go for the BHF thing so decided to go for it... Some personal 'take-aways' from the camp... this is for myself... readers, omit if u wish...
1) attendance @ good concerts should be done as early in the camp as possible... 2) cut most activities or combine as many of them as possible so that more time could be devoted to rehearsals and foot-drill... 3) this is mean - but can't help it... nvr allow 4NAs to some back for camps... they most of them just make fools of themselves... 4) have farewell celeb earlier in the day so tht the snrs could be more easily moved out of the school... 5) nvr wish for pple who have been 'sabotaging' events to stop 'sabotaging' them... i guess that's enough pointers for myself for now...

Had problems getting up from sleeps and naps this couple of days... probably not recovered from the camp yet... i should be well rested in a day or so... I hope...

Had to drag myself out of bed yesterday morning to teach piano and then head out for Crystal's wedding lunch... they tested this prog for wedding... quite useful for getting statistics... but other than that, doesn't help much... (know all these) cuz I was helping @ the reception and giving pple their table nos.... got a lift home from Mrs Heng... headed for dinner with EL before heading for duet and WW prac soon after resting for a short while @ home... WW prac was the usual... CY passed me all the keyboard scores... got arrowed again... cuz his perc sectn not enuff players... I guess I'll have to be frank here lah... as long as it's not boring parts with plenty of rests in between, I dun mind taking the keyboard parts...

Was late for choir prac again today... dad sent me... thank God... or I would have been even later for choir... got arrowed for nxt week's psalming... but...i won't be around... and some of them thought i 'siaming' cantor... hmm... I know how to cantor wat... 'siam' for wat?? hee hee... then had a quick lunch before heading to WW prac... last prac of the year!!! before heading to Osaka... have planned to attend the flute fest in Osaka... thx to kev who told me about it the other night via MSN... at least it'll make this trip to Osaka a bit more meaningful... dinner was with DH and CY... couldn't really be bothered to wait for the rest to get moving... it takes AGES for everyone to move out of the area... it's kinda like the door cannot be locked before 1830 hrs or else... cuz prac ended early today... and as with all other days when prac ended early, the room will not be vacated until a 'suitable' time... oh well... the less this happens in JP, the better... o/w i think I'm really wasting $$...

So ONE chapter has closed... the beginning of yet another should begin soon... I suppose... do I really want the new chapter to begin...? wat if it's a repeat of history...? then it'll be like 'groundhog day'... dun like tht feeling... not at all... oh well... live and let live...
