My Eightieth Entry. Mood: Happy

Finally I today happy le. At first morning very bored de, then suddenly recieved Angeline's message saying that Jurong East Delifrance is recuiting people. So I promised her that I will go down and take a look and will conveniently look for her at her work place too. After I bathed, I ate my lunch and went down.

When I reached there, I saw the manager himself clearing the tables. Haiz, then there were so many customers, and only one crew at the counter who is as well preparing the breads. Haiz, no wonder they are looking for people. I filled in the form, and waited for them to finish serving the customers. But seems that they couldnt find any time for me. There were so many customers taking orders, and all the tables were in a mess. No one, but no one, was free for any minute to clear the tables. So I waited for the naggy customers to finish their orders, so that the manager will approach me. But I waited for around 20 minutes, then the manager suddenly approach me. Rushing, he quickly asked me what are the days which I can't work per week. After telling him, he just said ok, and will call me in few days time, and he has to go. I don't blame him, as I can see they are really very shorthanded.

After that, I went up to look for Angeline. She is not only very "eng", but was super super "eng" that time lor. We chated for hours plus, until her collegue asked her to go in. Haha, so paiseh disturb her during her work.

When I got home, I realised that my nephew came to my house, and not only that, he even drew my library book!!! -___-" Hmm, nvm la, suan le.

Think I will be doing the Delifrance despite of its super low pay, because it is very near to my home, and the time is very flexible, as what I always wished. You all might think I'm silly or stupid, but its better for me to stay at home whole day without earning any pocket money. After I finished my BM course and got the certificate, I will quit the job, which is just a few months time.

My Seventy-ninth Entry. Mood: Sianz, tired

This is a second consecutive day which I'm so sianz. Erm, how should I put it? I went for an interview early in an afternoon at Harper Road. For those who knows this place, should pity me very much. I had a hard time finding this very unfamilar place, and which I took bus somemore. The bus went over shot and I had to walk under the big hot sun between the construction site and the industries. I can see the building which I'm supposed to go, but there were too many blockages. I have to walk a big round here and there, and many routes were still blocked. After a hard time, I finally reached the place. Its Diamond Industries. I managed to fill up the form completely although the pen is lack of ink. The interview went perfectly smoothly, so smoothly that the managers asked me to start work on the day after next. However, as I walked out, I think that the job is impossible for me because they only allow 2 days off per week, and I will be having night classes 3 times per week and a Hsinghai and swimming lesson on Sunday. The work they gave might need me to work on public holidays, and even Chinese new year, a bigger problem is that the working time is till 9.30pm. How am I able to attend all my lessons? So I think I will be calling them up and reject the job offer liao.

As I walked out of the building, I find that I'm lost again. So I just continued my way to walk out of the estate, and saw a bus stop, and simply find a bus which is nearest to any MRT, which I found out it's Hougang. Not long after I boarded the bus, I called Zhiguan and was so happy an relieved that he is eating alone at Hougang central. Haha. So I went to meet him too. This really brightens my day abit, after all the fustrations during the early afternoon. We went to library, as he claimed that he wants to borrow story books. So I went in with him, and browsed some books, and found out that some story books are indeed quite nice. I have not been reading story books for some donkey years time. This time, I borrowed a chinese book, some sort of love novels la.

The story mentioned the lead role and his sister, which reminds me of Zhiguan and his elder cousin (Kailing). I think they are totally the same as in Kailing will always suan and bully Zhiguan, and he will scold her back. Her cousin will became rough and they will start a mouth fight with each other playingly. But the elder one will still be so caring towards him and so concerned of him within her heart and will be so gentle to the him at times. So I think both of them are too alike as the story written le.

I read the book as on my way home with my walkman play Jay's "Qi Li Xiang" album.

Good night pals... Thx for reading my blog!

*I need a job which will definately not affect my studies time and can earn up to $500 per month at least. Any lobangs?*

My Seventy-eighth Entry. Mood: Sianz, Exausted, Tired, Moody.

I just typed my blog and when published, the whole entry dissapeared. -_-.

Today was quite sian. Went Hsinghai finally but kenna scolding already. Think I really played badly today. But I'm going to work hard on it so that teacher might hear some improvments next week. Teacher also encouraged us to take the grade 8 percussion examinations. Haha, think I might go and take one or two years later la. Now really cannot make it.

Went swimming right after I reached home after Hsinghai. Today I swam last few ba. Think I swam badly lor. Sianz. No stamina la, but luckily still managed to swim within the given time. The cute girl got 263 for her PSLE. So happy for her. She is able to get into Nanyang Girls School as she wished as last year's cut off point for that school was exactly 263, moreover, she can add 3 more points to her results because she got distinction for her higher chinese. Haiz, so good.

Got home very exhaustedly. No mood for anything.

By the way, heard Jay's oncert for last night did not play the flute. Wonder was he too dissapointed for his performance during the first night therefore cut off the song. Hey Jay, don't feel bad, you are already quite good for other things le lor. Don't give up ok? We will give you a support. You learnt one week and can blow a song, I learn one week then finally got sound come out.

My Seventy-seventh Entry. Mood: JAY CHOU

It was a very warm night. Its burning both externally and internally within our body. We were excited to see Jay in real person. Five of us, Kailing (Zhiguan's cousin), Zhiyang (Zhiguan's brother), Harrison, Zhiguan and me happily walked into the stadium. We saw the book which Jay published, Grandeur de D Major, selling at $23 while Zhiguan and Harrison went to toilet. When they came back to the lobby, they bought us some drinks and entered the theatre.

We waited till around 8.40pm+ then suddenly the lights went out. The audiences screamed anxiously. The music came out and it was "Yi Fu Zhi Ming". We awaited for the tall red curtains to be pulled down so that we can see Jay. Finally, when it was the part where he started to sing, a big bang sound stopped our heart for a second and our eyes widened at the top when the curtain came dropping down. And the crowd went wild! He stood infront of a big red cross on a platform elevated high above the stage. As the music goes on, the platform lowered very slowly. When it reaches the ground, he walked out of the platform away from the cross, and the crowd went wild again.

It was one of the best concerts which I ever watched, though I've only seen 3 concerts before. But from last night's concert, I can clearly see that Jay has really put in lots of efforts for his concerts.

• He danced hip-hop, which included some impressive movements, though it was for a short while only. I was like: Wow, Jay actually danced that!
• He improvised "Ni Ting De Dao" abit, and the melody really caught my heart, tears filled my eyes. He has really touched me by that song. It was so nice that I wonder why didn't he use that melody in his album...
• Then he also improvised "Zui Hou De Zhan Yi" to a very romantic and soothing one. There were two guitars for accompaniment. This version has obviously accepted eagerly by all the audiences and we all agreed that its indeed a wonderfull version.
• He also sang Zhang Zheng Yue's "Ai Wo Bie Zou". This is a great song and we think that he has sung it brilliantly too. He also claimed that when he was a student, he tried to learn this song hard and so he might sing it to the girl he likes. Today, he present this song to us. :)
• He played flute for a Jacky Chang's old song. Don't remember what the song is called but he actually used flute to play it for more than half of the song. He did not play very well, as the notes weren't on the right pitch and seems like he can't reach the high note. But well, the newspaper said that he learnt flute for about a week for the sake of that song. So, we just give him a support lor.
• I personally thinks that this is the most impressive part of the concert. Jay invited a guy called Yu Hao from Nan Quan Ma Ma to play the pink piano. He started off with Chopin's "Fantaisie Impromptu". This is a song normally played by Diploma holders in piano. He played till a part where he paused, and Jay took over his place with his hands slowly placing over Yu Hao's hand. Yu Hao stood up and Jay sat down, and continued playing the piece. Without notice, they had changed the song to this and that, and they, still taking turns to play the piano, without any hiccups of the songs. The songs they played were fast, and even faster than the original speed of the song. They played Turkish March, Bumble Bee, and many more. The turns they played were so clean that it seems like only one person is playing the piano. Lastly, both of them sat down and played duets together, and end the piece in a climax. The audiences applauded and cheered to craziness. We were all stunned and impressed by their way of playing.

Overall, I think Jay's concert is a great success and I rate this concert 9/10. That one mark deducted is due to the flute thingy. What a waste.

Anyway, today stayed at home and took a look at the percussion song, set up the christmas tree, and chatting with friends in MSN. Nothing much lor. Haha.

Take care friendz!

My Seventy-sixth Entry. Mood: Happy!

Yay! Just came back from Jay's concert. Will talk in details tomorrow. Too tired le. Somemore going watch The Three Kingdoms. See ya!

My Seventy-fifth Entry. Mood: So-so

Hmm, people, I was just wondering when you guys read my blog, do you read my post immediately or do you see what's the mood of my day first?

Today I woke up and my mum immediately asked me to go NTUC with her to buy vegetables and meat for dinner. We got home after buying those things and then I thought of setting up our christmas tree as it was kept in the storeroom for years already. When I first took it out, it was so dusty and all. I cleaned it and its like same old brand new one. I hanged all the little Pooh's plushies which I bought from HK and hung it around the christmas tree, and put all the bears from my room and laid it around the christmas tree. The whole christmas tree looked so cute... :)

Then I set off to meet my Poly friends for KTV. I sang till nearly no voice liao. So long time never sing KTV le... Haha. So lucky that Qiyun is taking cab to Jurong West, so all of us bugged her to "lompang" us home. Yay! So I so fast reached home!

Just now online then chatted with Xingzuan, so long never chat with her online le. Think she thinks herself inferior or what, she says that she is not my so good friend anymore le. She say she not fit to be my buddy. When she say this, I was actually very sad, but I understand her feelings lor. We seldom chat to heart liao. But I just wish to tell her that no matter what, I will still be there for her and if I really need to share feelings but no one is around and she is with me, I will still definately share my feelings with her lor. I still treat her as my good friend, and one day I might still need her to talk to, it hurts me when she says those things and asking me to share my problems to other people, but I know she is hurting even more.

It has been more than 3 years... I've heard all the same things for more than 3 years. All the year ones saying that if they were to be chosen to be CO committee, they will quit. All the year two committees saying that they can't cope with their duties and looking for a chance to quit. And all the year threes saying that SPCO has changed, after concert they will quit.

But I'm relieved that none of these has come true. If any were to quit, they might regret because its the stress and toughness which brought us together and strong. For the past three years, I've seen so many unhapiness and big groups quarrels and breaking ups, but in the end, we were together again.

I remember there is one person telling me that if he were to be chosen to be committee, he will quit. But alas, he did not. He struggled in his role, still telling me that he will be quitting soon, due to the stress. He said after the concert and everything has settled, he will quit. These were so familar because I said these earlier in the past too. After he passed on his duties, it seems like a big burden has passed down to others, but he seems to miss the days where he walked up and down for SPCO, all the stress he has, scolding others and blurting all the bad things, in one night, it has all gone. Its the care and concern we have for SPCO to lead to our unhappiness. If we were those people who seldom come for practices, we hardly even know them, I don't think they will be stressed and worried for SPCO at all.

Today, year threes thinks that CO has changed and were quitting. This is so familar too! I've said this before too. Now I looked back to the past... All the unhappiness we had has changed to incidents which can bring us laughters today. I'm glad and relieved that we all have so strong feelings for SPCO and cares so much that even hatred arises. :")

My Seventy-forth Entry. Mood: Happy

WooHoo! Finally got Jay Chou tickets today le! This Friday I will be seeing him liao! Jay Rocks!!! Then we went Clementi bought 4D and then went to school. This new song is not easy. Very challenging!!! Very excited leh. Will train hard for this song! :)

How come Zhiguan cannot stay like them... :( *Dear me not saying you hor... Just that I miss you mah, somemore you fierce fierce today... :"( Sad sad...*

My Seventy-third Entry. Mood: Sadz, Sianz

Today did not go BBDC, raining, go halfway and came back because suddenly downpour. Me and Zhiguan were all soaked, and within our shoes and socks. Then we went to watch The Incredibles. Not bad show, quite nice. The Jack-Jack was really very cute. After show went eat ban mian. Then went home.

Don't know what I should do now. Tell me what I should do.

My Seventy-second Entry. Mood: Happy

Wah, today I woke up very late... 1pm+ leh! Then suddenly realised that the Leo is in our house... AGAIN. Haha... They realised that mum did not cook their lunch, so they went out for their lunch together again...

Then I got prepared and went to school to meet Zhiguan. At first when I reached there I wanted to buy Cold Chocolate with Whip Cream one, but the cafe didn't open leh. :(. Then Zhiguan came out from his lab and fetch me, and I saw Xingzuan and Kaixian. They were printing the report, and Zhiguan was playing games.

Then we were on our way to PS, meet Zhiguan's brother at Outram, and we went together. Wow, many people there... We managed to enter the external range priority, but one album can only limit to one person, so only Zhiguan went in, me and his brother waited outside. The "concert" supposed to start at 6.30pm, but they only reached at 7pm. We bought tickets to watch "taxi" movie at 7.30pm. Haiz, so only heard 3 songs la, Xi You Ji, Xiao Hu shi and Hokkien song, Pun Sou Qia.

Then we went to see the movie... Quite nice, very funny, laugh until stomachache. Where got a police so stupid de... Wonder how he passed his Academy one. Haha.

After the show, we immediately rushed to the Mayday place, too bad they have finished singing le. But luckily they were helping fans to sign autograph, and were about to finish signing, so we just queued up for a while and got their autograph. Zhiguan was so happy. Soon after that we went home.

Tomorrow we will be going shopping again. :)

My Seventy-first Entry. Mood: Happy

Heyo guys! Miss me these days again? Hahaha... Wondering why I did not blog again last night? Thats because I was at SPCO camp la... Last night the whole CO chatted and sorted many things out. :) Then we played blackjack, at first I lose one, then I win back... *phew*... By the time end of playing, it was around 6am plus le... Then we sleep.

We slept till 11.30am like that, and I went to eat Long John's Silver with the others then went home.

At home, I slept again until 5.30pm, my sister woke me up saying that her fiance's parents came our home liao, but I heck care, continued to sleep. Then I woke up at 6pm, i jumped up recalling that I'm having swimming class today! So I rushed out, say "hi" to Leo's parents, and went off for my swimming class.

Today swimming class not many people, because it was raining before. Haiz, think the instructor was very chim xim for the class already because the class everytime attendance very poor, then I am quite frequent as his student, he was so paiseh that he always couldn't find a partner for me because other girls are always not here. Haha, relax teacher, don't feel bad, I'm alright.

K la, just watched the DVD shich my sister bought back from overseas... Toy Story2. Ok la, not bad lor. :)

Yeah, tomorrow going PS with Zhiguan to watch Mayday, Wu Yue Tian! They going PS for singing cum autography session ba... He like Mayday so much, so I going with him lor, anyway their songs really not bad also.

My Seventieth Entry. Mood: Very Sleepy

Sorry now then blog, just now watching The Three Kingdoms. Today I did not go CO camp because gotta help out a choir concert for Hsinghai at VCH.

The concert was not very good accept for the part where the guest lead singer from China and the world famous pianist performed together. Then during the second half, another pianist who was performing as well for that night sat beside me. He is young, and relatively handsome, so I asked my friend for his camera handphone and shyly asked him to take photo with me. Haha, so paiseh, all my friends were laughing at me. Haiz, actually the kids behind us spoilt our mood la. They were so noisy during the concert and somemore they sat right behind of us. Even the pianist turned his head to them too, and I also did that quite a number of times. Too noisy le, never had a concert like that before. Then when the pianist was supposed to leave for his another song, he stood up, was in a little dilemma wondering to say "bye-bye" to me or not, can see that he was quite paiseh too! Haha...

Anyway, for the giving flowers to the lead performers part, I was the one who was supposed to give him flowers lor. Ironically, he doesn't recognise me when I gave him the flowers because during that seat time it was very dark, so I knoew that he won't be able to recognise me... *phew*. So as you guys expected, the photo in the camera was pitch dark. #_#

K la, nothing else le. Tomorrow will be going down to CO after an unknown interview. See ya!

My Sixty-ninth Entry. Mood: Happy

Hey! Haha, sorry last night I never blog because I went to chalet!!! Wah, was the most memorable chalet in my whole life because we wanted to put rocket de, then end up all 10+ of us layed on the ground watching the stars at around 1am like that. Suddenly, we saw a shooting star! It might be quite normal to you guys, but the shooting star was real big!!! Then it flew very beautifully over the sky, relatively slow somemore! Then it was so big, it has a really long tail too! And if I'm not wrong, its abit orange colour like that. It flew past for about 3 seconds, and thats considered very long for a shooting star, right? After that, we continued laying down, and saw 2 or three shooting stars again, but it was really very small and very fast. Not as nice as the first one that we saw.

Then we tried to put the rockets, but the stupid wind, stupid lighter and the stupid sparklers just cant work together. The wind is too big, the lighters are lousy, and the sparklers were kinda spoilt. Haiz, end up the rockets at most can spin on the ground only. Then we talked through the night till morning.

By the way, yesterday went shopping with my mum earlier on, so long never shop with her liao, hehe. But we only shopped for a while, and she went home and I went to chalet le.

Today reached home at about 10am, then slept till about 4pm. Then I see see what my sister bought for me at Myanmar because she just came back from there today. So she gave me a bag and a pen, made of wood.

K la, nothing to say le leh... Tomorrow is SPCO camp, don't know want to go or not. Might be going if I free lor.

My Sixty-eighth Entry. Mood: Sianz

Today woke up at 8am+ for awhile, somebody called me, I thought is who, yuan lai is Angeline. She ask me I'm going for the talk or not. Duh, she can ask Zhiguan de what... Spoil my beautiful dream la... Haha, just joking. Today whole day was very boring, looking for jobs on newspaper, but still don't know what to do. Then watch "Ren Wo Ao You" last episode, erm, quite ok, but the ending abit hung in the air leh... LOL.

Day 5 (11/11/2004):

That day, we woke up at around 9am and had our breakfast. The breakfast was about the same as what we ate at the first morning, but just that they changed the ham to bacon, which tasted quite salty leh.

Then very soon, we boarded the bus and headed to the airport liao. So soon... When we reached the airport, me and Angeline did not forget the promise of what Chuan Cheng gave. He said he will be buying us present at HK, but until that time, we still has not come to mind of what we want. At the airport, we were rushing to look our perfect gifts for ourselves. Think Angeline bought a kind of sweet which her cousin/friend asked her to. As for, me, I was looking for some gifts which I can bring back for my parents but could not find any. I chose a set of porceline tea set, and when Chuan Cheng saw what I wanted, he just immediately passed me the money and settled everything. Wah, like that also can.

Then again, the guys were dilly-dallying choosing things at the airport again. The rest has booked in! Haiz... They were so slow... All the time... Then finally, we sat in the plane and flew for a few hours. We were so delighted when we reached Singapore again! Home sweet home leh. and when we checked out, AGAIN, the guys were stucked in the wine shop choosing their bottles of drink while the others has already reached the belt collecting their luggages... #_#"" Before I even collected my luggage, I saw my parents standing outside the glass waving at me. :) Then I collected my luggage, saw Zhiguan's aunt, uncle and his two small cousins, I said "hi" to them and headed to my dad's car. :)

End of story!

Tomorrow will be going shopping with my mum, and then during evening will go to Ah-Heng's chalet. Don't know want to stay overnight or not leh.

My Sixty-seventh Entry. Mood: Happy

Today at first want go BBDC sign up for basic theory with Zhiguan de, but he forgot to take his IC, so we went to watch movie again, The Forgotten. The movie was quite nice, but accept for the ending la, the ending abit dissapointing. I was having some cramp, so in the end right after the show, he asked me to go home :(. But he was abit sick too la.

Day 4 (10/11/2004):

I did not have breakfast, overslept. But heard that that morning's breakfast was delicious :(. Then we went to the HK Space museum to watch the HKCO practice. Their techniques were ofcourse very impressive, but too bad some of them think that it was too boring and fell asleep there. But I think it was very interesting, especially that they do not use cello or bass, but by original chinese "ge hu" and "di ying hu". The soloists do not sit at the front of the stage beside the conductor as what most CO do, but sitting on a higher platform of the stage. I don't know whether this applies for all their soloing songs, or is it only for that particular song la.

After that, we took some photograghs outside of the museum and proceeded to the Teddy bear Kingdom. Zhiguan asked me to make a bear for both of us so that we can have a "child" of our very own... Or was it that I heard wrongly? He and other guys went to the instrument shop, so they did not follow us. When I reached the Teddy bear Kingdom, I was so excited "making a baby" of our own, and thinking of giving it a name. When the bear was done, I was so proud of it and when Ah-heng took pictures of the other bears with mine, I just feel that my bear is the most outstanding one and felt so proud of it. Haha, feel like a real mum like that.

Then me, Angeline and Evelyn walked to the Harbour Center, which consists of 700 over departments, one of the largest shopping center in HK. This was where the nightmare begun. I was talking over the phone with Zhiguan discussing how to meet them later on, and they said that they will be leaving the instrument shop soon. He became the middleman of the guys, and I became the middlewoman for the girls. I can feel that he was very pekchek asking the guys about their schedulle because the guys keeps giving him lots of dilly-dallying answers. I was abit pekchek too because I do not know what to tell them and whether or not to continue our shopping. In the end, the guys said that they will give us a call when they are done. So we went shopping ourselves first. It has been a very long time since I called them up again, and found out that they were still at the instrument shop! But they said they are leaving soon and will be meeting us at Kwoloong control station. Actually, Im not sure whether is KCR or MTR. As we were about to leave the shopping center, Eve said that she wants to go to the toilet. And we waited for her for about 20 minutes! When she came back, she said that she met her friend, so chatted awhile. I know that the guys might be waiting for us already, but they everytime dilly-dally, so I'm afraid that even when we reached the destination, they might still be at the instrument shop lor. But as we came out, we were deciding whether to take cab or train. At first, I exclaimed: CAB. But when I thought over it, I know that Eve wants to try to take the train, and Angeline kept quiet, so I do not know whether she too wants to try the train, so I changed decision to train. We were desperately looking for the train station, we could not find MTR, but only KCR. This time, Zhiguan called me up and scolded us for still at the shopping center area. I was really really very pekchek that time that I wanted to tell Eve to take cab, but she seemed so excited looking for train and as if telling me and Angeline to trust her that we will find the train soon. Finally, we found train, but it was KCR. Zhiguan over the phone asked me where were we, I told him that we were at the KCR (just two stops away from Kwoloong station). Just before I could even say "just two stops away", the phone reception was being cut off. I kept shouting and shouting but only can hear him saying "hello, hello". I finally hung up the phone, really very angry that time, but don't know for what. Maybe because of why I did not insist to take cab in the very first place. When we came out of the KCR, we did not see the guys. I know that we have took the wrong train. It should be the MTR. Anyway, we alighted and I know that the guys were angry and worried for us, I can hear them scolding vulgur words over the phone. I was really really upset. When we came out of the KCR, I still wanted to take cab, but Evelyn was still so enthusiastic of walking and finding route to look for them, but by that time, I was too angry to say anything else. They like to walk, walk la!!! We had really really a very hard way to reach them, there were SO many exits for just one Kwoloong MTR station, and the people there were extremely dense that time, people squeezing all over. Finally, we saw the guys. I was still angry to say anything that time. I hate myself for not being decisive to take the cab initially, and I heard people scolding us.

Soon, I cooled myself down and apologised to Zhiguan, as I was the one who made him worried first. So we continued walking at the Ladies' Street. We then saw a set of chinese chess, a very beautiful one, similar to the one we saw at Suntec which costed about S$199. But there, it was selling HK$238, and we managed to bargain till HK$200 (S$40+). Moreover, I think that the material was much better that the one in Suntec lor. Without any further delay, Zhiguan agreed and forked out his money without caring anything else, and bought that set. As we walked down, we saw the same set... This time with box! We asked the lady about the price, and she said HK$400. Oh my goodness. We asked how about $200, she said "ofcourse not". She gave us $350, then we turned and walk away. We felt abit curious of why there was a box for the set and not the set that we bought? So we went back to the shop where it sold us the chess. She said that there wasn't any box which came along, but she can sell us the box which she contained for "wei qi". Me and Zhiguan was suprised because the box was writtened "Chinese chess", and that the lady actually put "wei qi" in it. DUHZ. Well, the box was very much more gorgeous than the one we saw earlier on, with the box which sold for $400. Because the box we saw earlier on was actually made of paper-like material, and seemed to get torn very easily. This box "for weiqi", is a wooden one with a lock! Looked so beautiful lor! And you know what? The lady sold the box to Zhiguan for just HK$10 (S$2+)! Wah, Zhiguan was over to the moon lor. And the chess fit PERFECTLY WELL into the box. Just too perfect! I really envy him very much to have that set of chess...

Soon, we went back to our hostel and they were having party of the last night. Angeline came and talked to me, she said that actually that afternoon, everything will be alright if we took cab, because Des was quite unhappy about it too, and moreover, Angeline that afternoon indeed wanted to take cab de, but just that she didn't dare to say out anything! Oh man!!! I really wished to bang my head onto the wall! EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT IF WE TOOK CAB! I was so so so regret for everything, and why do Angeline did not tell me earlier? I'm really really sorry about my decision, making Des to be so upset and pulled Angeline along too. Its my fault. Haiz. Sorry. Ok, that night, at the hostel corridor, all the guys went totally drunk. Kaoz. All of them lor. And I just went to bed after taking some of their photos and videos.

Ok, thats all for today!

Yeah, tomorrow last day le...

My Sixty-sixth Entry. Mood: Sianz

Today was supposed to go out with Wenhao de, but due to the weather and some situations, we canceled our outing. So I stayed at home and even had a nap and then went to my relative's house for dinner again. The maid's popiah has improved, getting more like my Ah-ma's one already. Then I just finished watching a documentory talking about accidents of sports men and how they get over it and bring themselves back to their sports again. Those accidents they had were so gross... Eww.

Okok, I continue my 3rd day of my HK trip.

Day 3 (09/11/2004):

That morning, we had maggi mee with ham and egg for breakfast. Soon, we took off to our first station, the Victoria Peak. We went there via an underwater tunnel, which is a tunnel built into the sea and to the island. Special right? Haha. Then as we were travelling around the island going up the peak, we saw many houses and the views were extremely nice, for the houses la. It was said that the red most top building belongs to Jackie Chan's. I think for those who lives in that island must be very rich, and only the riches come to this island. Finally, we reached the peak. The view is okok lor, not really very astounding la, only that its very cold up there, and abit foggy.

Then we proceeded to a very big temple also in the island de. It has Fortune God, Guanyin Ma, Jade Emperor, and got a "yin yuan shi" (Fate Stone) I think. Its said that we have to touch the Fortune God from head, to face, to hands, and to his pouch, then quickly grab as if you have taken some money, and put it in our pocket. So we queued up to do that. Followed on, all our SPCO couples touches the Fate Stone and took some cameras. Haiz, too bad Sze Hui went to toilet, cannot join us. Poor Sammuel!

After that, we went to a harbour and board a boat for a tour. Sianz, still need to pay money one leh! But ok la, hope it worth it lor... Did it? The first thing which caught my eye was the doggie with the boatman. So it was the pet dog which attracted me to take picture with in the very first place. And soon, I also found out that when you say "left hand" in cantonese, it really lifts up its left hand and shake with yours! So cute! Ofcourse, vice-versa for "right hand". Eh, the dog really very cute la, for almost the whole journey, my eyes was with the dog. Other than that, we, the percussionists of SPCO, took some silly pictures of "Walaoeh..." Haha, don't say le.

After lunch, they brought us to a Jewellery World opened by Jackie Chan. When we go in, that lady told us that the purple crystal cave is the largest in the whole world, and its free, so we may take it as we wished. We were suprised of what she said, but provided if we were able to carry it away la, because its a thousand plus kilogramms. Haha. She so lame. She also let us see the latest jewellery pendant which can twist and turn inside whenever you touches it. Erm, its abit expensive lor, so some of us just walked around but did not buy anything.

After that, we finally proceeded to our long waited Ocean Park! We were so excited to go for the roller coaster... But before that, we had to take cable car first. Duhz! So high! So long! Kaoz, some of us din't even dare to look down! Mamameeeah! Finally, when we reached there, we were thinking whether to see the dolphin show or take the roller coaster, and the decision has to make fast because the dolphin show was about to start. Then they had decided to take the roller coaster first. But the worst part is............................................ The roller coaster was under maintainence for one whole day. -____-" So suay! So we took Viking. At first, we were all scared. After that, we took the second time and we were able to let go of our hands when it zoomed down. Then I didn't take any other rides already, but just waited the others to finish the rides they wanted to take, then go to the dolphin show. The dolphins were really cute! Suprisingly, our Mr. Ah-Heng, out of hundrends of people, was being chosen to take part in the show! Erm, his part was just to make some movements to make the dolphins move la, but so good that he can touch the dolphins and take pictures with them. :) Soon after the show, we went to the shop and I bought a little penguin plush, very cute oso, pink colour one, got blue colour one also, but sold out already. :( Very soon, the sky was gettting dark even it was only 6pm. We took the long long escalator, think for about 15 mins or so, then wait for the others at the bottom.

Next stop, we procceeded to the "Xing Guang Da Dao" (All Star's Path). I thought what was that, chey, its only a path with dots of lights on it. But we managed to take many stupid and silly funny pictures there. When we got into the bus, I realised that Desmond was looking for Angeline outside when I see Angeline was actually in the bus. We got abit frantic, wanted to go and look for Desmond, but sadly we were not allowed to. The teacher didn't want us to go down again or else we will be running all around. Luckily, very soon, we saw Desmond coming towards the bus and we quickly gave hand signs to call him back. Hmm, it was the very first time I saw Desmond in that expression, my heart nearly melted though it was none of my buisness. Also, it was also my first time seeing Angeline being a small gentle little princess cuddling Desmond's hand. 'Cause always I see her fighting with Des. K la, think both of them, especially Desmond got abit shocked that night.

Lastly, we went to the Lady's street. I did not buy anything because me and Zhiguan had to take care of the few ladies because that place is abit complicated. So that whole tour I was actually looking at them more than the stuffs there. Then soon we got back to the hostel. But that's not the end. We bathed and went back to the area again to buy food. The sausages, the bacon... Yum yum! That night, Ladies' Street was kept early because heard that they were going to do some cleaning up or stuffs like that. So we only bought the food. Around 2am, we went back to the hostel and slept.

Ok! Tata! Done day 3!
2 more days to go. -.-"

My Sixty-fifth Entry. Mood: Happy

Today had a date with Zhiguan, before I went to meet him, it was my first time to think of going to trim my eyebrows all by myself. After that, I went to meet him, he was abit late, so I went to see the the showtime first and suggested to watch Ladder 49 finally. We bought 4 cheesy hotdogs and one big size lemon tea. The show is abit sad la, but not as sad as brotherhood. Later on I asked him to see my eyebrows, but he only said: How come become like that? What you want me to see? No difference la. :(. Anyway, forget it. I admire it myself can le.

Then I went to my uncle's house and had my dinner, ate many nougats as well. :) Brought many back home! Then when I reached home soon, my mum asked me to sit the new electric chair which they bought for around $8000+. -__-" So expensive. Heard can help for a more healthier body and can heal hundreds of sicknesses. Don't know real or not.

Ok, I will continue on our second day of tour.

Day 2 (08/11/2004):

We had a short sleep at night and woke up at 7+ in the morning and ate our breakfast at the hotel. Breakfast: Toast bread, ham, egg and orange juice. 2 eggs to be exact because it contains 2 yolks. Then we went off to our performing place.

We board the travelling bus again, and finally reached Sha Tin Town Hall. It looked so gorgeous from the outside and we were so excited. I helped to carry the instruments, and reached the storey. I peeped inside a side door and saw a very small stage with no platform. I thought: This should not be our stage ba. So I continued walking to a big door. Hmmph! Then I found out that its the back door... So, this implies that the small stage is indeed our stage! Saddened! :"( But I thought again, ok la, then we will not be so stressed. But the most pathetic thing is that we also found out that almost half of the audiences seats were booked by their own people to let the HKPUCO people to sit and watch out performance. #_#. Then I found out that the Shi mian luo's luos were getting loose and some had actually even fell off while transporting. So I informed the HK students there to inform the player. Yeah! So lucky that I won't be playing the two big songs of Feng Shou and Xi Xun! But the rest I have to play la... -_-.

After the rehersal, they actually offered some cakes for us. Me, Zhiguan, Angeline, Desmond, Feiyou, Ah beng and a few of us went to a Snoopy Shopping Center nearby. It has very very big Snoopy and its characters on the roof of the building! So beautiful! Very very regret that I forgot to bring my camera along. Hope that I can go back there again someday. Anyway, the things selling there were abit expensive, but really quite new fashioned and "IN" lor.

Soon, the performance was about to start. we performed and when it comes to their song, it was our turn to sit at the audiences seats to watch them play. Suddenly, one guy did a very stupid thing. Don't wish to say what happened, but really lose our SPCO's face, SP's face, and even maybe the whole Singapore's face. Haiz. Don't say le. After their performance, we stood up and applauded and cheered.

After the whole performance, we helped some of the instruments to downstairs to the lorry. We really can see that the HKPUCO's committee, although most of them were girls, they really helped out without any complains. Even those who are wearing skirts helped out too. Wah, we are very ashamed of ourselves.

Then we went back to hostel and had a good night sleep, although we slept late again. Me, Zhiguan, Angeline and Desmond shared one room. Sorry Jia Chun. I am really sorry, I don't know how to apologise to you in face though I've tried to before we came back to Singapore. It must be hard for you. Sorry.

K la. End of second day le. Desmond! Angeline! Very good hor? Got people to share to take turns to write blog. Relax la!!! :( :(. Haiz, poor me lor.

My Sixty-forth Entry. Mood: So-so

Hello dudes... Today morning went to do some facial, very very pain. Scars all over. Then went to supermarket buy lots of things to eat, at least made me feel better.

Last night I promised that I will talk my HK trip in details right? Ok...

Day 1 (07/11/2004):

I reached the airport at 5am and realised that I forgot to take my SPCO jacket. :( But anyway, I got bring some long sleeves shirt, so I thought it won't be that bad, moreover, some kindhearted friends volunteered to lend me their sweaters... :") I'm so touched! Then we said "bye bye" to our family and checked in. we took some stupid pictures with Angeline and Evelyn after checking in, and then board the plane. Its the first time Zhiguan took an airplane, think he's abit excited la. When the plane took off and stablised, he came to me keep saying that the view from plane are so beautiful. Haha. By the way, the food from valuair is not so nice. Then when the plane is about to alight, Zhiguan complain that his ear is getting very pain. All of us keep tell ing him to do this and that, eat sweets, swallow saliva, yawn, pinch nose and blow... Whatever... But it seems like there is totally no use to him. But when we reached the airport, he slowly recovered. Haha.

Then we took the traveling agent bus, with that agent - Pearlin. She kept talking non stop ever since we board the bus, and kept introducing every places the bus went through. So poor thing, I think thats the job of the agents ba. Haha. The worst part is I'm wondering if even half of us whole group were actually listening to her. Finally, we arrived to our hostel. We unloaded our bags from the bus, and waiting for the lift to our room. Saddened! There were only two lifts, and somemore one is for even numbered storeys, another for odd numbered storeys! Then the lifts were so pathetic small! So one whole big group of girls waited for one particular small lifts with our luggages, and one big group of guys waiting for another. When we got to the floor, and as we walked to our room, we felt so eerie... The walls, doors, even the lights are abit dirty yellowish colour. Looked more like an abandoned hostpital from the corridor. And when we entered the room, I had only one comment: Just hope that I can get used to it soon.

After that, we went back to the lobby feeling very hungry. We board the bus again and went to the HK polytechnic University (HKPU). The person-in-charge of the HKPU chinese orchestra invited us to their school's restaurant. When we reached there, same thing we saw again. The lifts are separated with odd and even numbered storeys. So it was the second time I see people actually QEUEING up for a lift. We reached the restaurant and can't wait for our first dish. There comes - Springrolls! Hmm... it seemed no difference from the springrolls we ate from Singapore... So when I saw it, I was abit ---> -__-" Then we see each other, waiting someone to start first. Soon, someone started it. I took the springrolls and took one bite... Suddenly... DING DONG DING DONG!!! Wah... The springrolls very juicy sia, I have never ate such a nice spring roll before, and you can taste the fragrance of butter within the crisp... Haha, suddenly felt so happy. Then came on dish by dish. Before we even finished everything, all of us became SO full... They presented us their dianxins, xiao long bao, siew mai, baos, and their most famous mango rolls. I can tell you, the mango rolls were really superb.

After the lunch, we went to their practising room. They welcomed us by playing their song. I think most of them were alumnis ba. Most of them seemed so old, 30+ to 40 like that. Their technique were quite well, especially their percussionists. After seeing the snare drum guy, I felt so tensed and stressed. Haiz. Don't say le. Soon, its our turn to join with them. Their conductor suddenly gave such a slow speed compared from the tremendous speed we played at Singapore. All of us became blurred and the speeds of every instrument became mixed up. Everything seemed so messy. Luckily, we changed our practice song to Feng Shou very soon. The condutor is our very own conductor... Yeah! But his speed became so fast, even faster than what we practiced in Singapore! We can't catch our breath! After the practice, we went for dinner. At that time, we were to exhausted and full to have our dinner, most probably is the Feng Shou and our very late lunch. This time, the agent brought us to a restaurant nearby. The food there aren't as good as what we expected. Haiz. Only for some dishes la.

And then we went back to the school again to practice our own other songs. We practiced till 10pm+ and carried back the instruments to their CO room. Wah, so many things to carry, and so far from the practising room somemore! By the time we got back to the bus, it was about 11+, and when we got back to our hostel, it was nearly 12. But we didn't sleep so early... Me, Angeline, Evelyn, Siewping and Celest started our girls conversation about our boyfriends... Hahaha... We said many bad things about them, but think Angeline and Celest were the most quiet ones. Don't think they like to say thing about their boyfriends. Wow, Desmond, you so lucky guy leh, must cherish this good girlfriend wor! So the rest of us talked till so late about 4am+ then went to sleep.

Ok la, I will continue the second day again tomorrow. Very long le. See ya!

My Sixty-third Entry. Mood: Exhausted!

Then went to school saw the shirts and jackets, quite ok, simple. The material of the jacket is not bad. Practice some Yun luo, and then went home.

My Sixtieth Entry. Mood: Happy

Nothing to say today la, stayed at home and rot lor, play computer, sleep, watch tv.

For those who are having last paper tomorrow, good luck! Especially to Zhiguan.

Vic, I definately cannot teach you drums. You have to find a professional! Hee~

My Fifty-ninth Entry. Mood: Sleepy

Hi, ladies and gentlemen, once again, welcome to my blog. Today, I'm going to tell you what have I done today... *Ehem*.

Today woke up at 9am+ then felt like going out to do some shopping on my drums. Yesterday, my dad told me that he say very cheap drums at Parklane, which is at Dhoby Gaut. So I went to Dhoby Gaut and alighted the train. When I came out of tunnel, ho man, it was raining. But at the opposite side, I say this "Parkmall". Hmm? Did my dad remembered wrongly, or is there another building of Parklane? But anyway, I ran through the rain and got into Parkmall. Eh, then I realised that there were only furnitures, don't have any drums. So I asked a sales girl whether there is any building called Parklane. She said think so, and told me that I might have to take bus at the Plaza Singapura, but she doesn't know which number of bus.

So I ran under the rain again and got to the bus stop. Then a bus stopped infront of me. I asked: Do you know where is Parklane? That bus uncle replied: What are you talking about? What park? At stadium there is it? Then I know this uncle cannot make it. Suan le. Then I called my dad again, and he said its at YMCA there, but have to walk further down. I said Ok and hung up the phone. I walked under the rain again, not really sure where is YMCA :P I walked all the way to the back of Parkmall, and continued, and suddenly saw "Orchard Neighbourhood Police Post". I was all drenched, but I pulled the door and asked: Do you know where is Parklane? They said: You know where is Plaza Singapura? You will have to walk further down from there... ""(@o@)"" Yuan lai all the while I have walked the wrong direction. So once again, I walked under the rain, over the hills, climbed over the bridges along the roadside, and finally got to see that Parkmall again. I finally see Paradiz Center as what my dad mentioned earlier. Kaoz. So the Parklane is just not far away from Plaza Singapura lor. Don't even need to cross any road.

Then I entered Parklane. What a dissapointment, its just a pathetic small shop, not even selling any tambourines. I thought its a great shop, like what my dad described... Fooled by my dad to get myself drenched just for the sake of the small shop.

Luckily, my dad asked me to join him for lunch nearby (his office is just nearby). Then we took his car to Bras Basah Swee Lee. Haha, think he is apologising to his precious daughter for getting caught in the rain for not explaining things well? He actually intended to buy me a set of drums! Thanks dad!!! Love you so much!!! Haha, no la, he didn't know I got caught in the rain, or else sure scold me de. And I din't want him buy the drums now, because I still do not know how to play, I need to learn first so that it cost its value. So in the end, he bought me a pair of drum sticks, then he left for his work again. As for me, I stayed there and continued looking at the drums.

I saw a set of electric drums, very beautiful and very cheap. There's another set which cost more, but not so nice. I asked the salesman why is that so, he said that the cheaper one is from China. I tried on the sounds on those drums... Erm, not very good. So I think acoustic drums are still the best. I lives in HDB, so I should buy those "pearl" type which is actually mute ones. Hmm. But that has no sound at all. So how? Erm, when I have money, I will think about these again.

Then I went home.

My Fifty-eighth Entry. Mood: So-so

Heyo, today went to school take our my yun luo from dance studio then went makan teriyaki chicken pizza with Derrick. He made used of me everytime when he was alone. Don't know why. Then he left for his appointment.

Erm, then I went to CO room awhile, they say they will be going off soon and so we cant stay there anymore le. As what Yinzhi's nick said, I feel that its not like the past anymore le. Whenever we walk past the room in the past, there will sure be some close friends inside, brightly, and openly all the time de. But now, its dark and locked, though I'm not in there, but I still feel the coldness inside. We all felt the same emptiness in us. Why do the person be so cruel? We don't feel like going down anymore le. But I hope this problem will be solved and everything can get back to normal again. But... I don't think this will come true at least for the coming few years time... :"(

So we spent our time at SPSE. They were studying, and I felt so bored, took Yinzhi's erhu and played Hong Mei. I'm not meaning that I had finished my exams and has nothing to do so I seemed so sian, I was actually feeling uncomfortable lazing around a place which I'm not familar with. Haiz.

Hmm, Zhiguan's computer survived again. This time he made it himself. So li hai! Congrats to him O!
