GP
Geography Paper 1
Lit Paper 1
On-time registration submission for entry into NAFA (yes i'm going to that dratted place for at least a year before YST)

And last but most mortifying i opened my decaying Friendster account after eons and found a recruitment email by some guy for Marsiling Orchestra. It was dated 11/4/08. Gloom. Not that i would have made it anyway, oh well.

Yosuke Yamashita has issues. But who's complaining? This stuff is teh win. Exerpt from pinktentacle.com:

''On March 8, pianist Yosuke Yamashita donned a fireproof suit and played a burning piano on a beach in Ishikawa prefecture. The improvised jazz performance went for about 10 minutes until the flames rendered the piano silent.'''

I'm still in MS2 with Audrey, Xiaochun, Suzana, Trent, Calvin, Qinjie and Amos. Are we ever going to make it out alive???

All the music students have lost their sanity. Grace is listening to 'Barbie Girl'. The studio is filled with laptops and i've been tripping over uncounted adapter wires, LAN cables and the camcorder equipment (which some idiot left lying around on the floor even though it's so expensive). XJ's gamelan choir sounds like a meow chorus. Everyone has skipped school to some degree since Monday. Thursday will be music apocalypse day (because i just found out FRIDAY morning is the deadline).

The day will come when all hell breaks loose. Can't wait.

Sorry everyone if i haven't been updating properly for a long time. The Twitter syndrome seems to be sticking, and when i try to blog in bigger chunks like i've always done, i end up writing long sentences. Very. Long. This is not good for my essay writing habits. I've lost my sense of time in everything by the way. A week seems to shorten into 4 days, or an hour into 5. And there is the issue of paradox. A million things of worth have happened in the past month and yet i don't seem to bother blogging them. Perhaps i'm getting tired or used to logging thoughts in my head more nowadays. Also, i've been spending a prodigious amount of time on my new WordPress acc, though i don't expect to see results given my miserable rate of updating and refusal to comment, comment and comment some more on each and every other WP blog i can find.

Anyway, tomorrow will mark another 24 straight hours of little to no sleep before A level compositional portfolio submission on Wednesday morning. Today, i have fully appreciated the shitty hours the art students had to slog previously before their coursework submission. I holed up in MS2 for...11 straight hours. And i never saw it as crowded as it was today. But i enjoyed it alot. After all, a certain camaraderie has to be established after everyone works together to pull their neurons out through checking for parallels, overlaps, wrong labels etc etc. Not to mention getting multiple drafts of string quartets rejected within the same day, getting fed up and slacking off by watching anime online (ok that was just KM and me), going off to attempt playing ping-pong at the sports complex (all the guys except QJ and Amos), and generally bitching about how a certain teacher just has to be anal and reject draft after painstaking draft.

It's high time for me to gear up. Bev let's mug like crazy tomorrow and impress Elwin at consultation!

And KM thanks to your blog i'm now addicted to Ergo Proxy's theme song =/

I just got myself a WordPress account. While i am supposed to be studying for A levels so that i don't get retained. Gee.

Series currently watching:

Good stuff
Nijuu Mensou no Musume (aka Chiko, Heiress of the Phantom Thief)

Mediocre
Blassreiter

Ani-trash
Neo Angelique Abyss


Also, i've had renewed inspiration to finally catch up with DGrayman, despite the fact that i am more than 60 episodes behind. I never did have the stamina for long-running series, especially those over 70 episodes. The only exception was Hikaru no Go, and that took 2 weeks of nonstop eye action. I'm getting too old for that kind of thing now i guess, body can't catch up. I tried studying from 2-5am today for last minute geog chionging and i died in the exam hall. Slept for 6 straight hours after that.

As of next week, i refuse to go to school on Tuesdays. Don't look for me. Gonna watch Mamma Mia next week whoo!

When i finish my last blasted paper in 9 hrs, i will celebrate by creating Jean-Baptiste Maunier avatars.



I ♥ Jean-Baptiste Maunier =D

MR FITZWILLIAM DARCY. HANDS DOWN. No Huckleberry Finn for me thank you very much, i agree with Ms Nansi.

tolerable. I looked at my marksheet when ms chew wasn't looking and i saw a 68. I have relatively little to say. At least i'm not getting 60 and below anymore. Thanks to KM and QJ for keeping me company in the recording studio and diffusing my stress, one by letting me watch D-Grayman and the other by, well, being QJ and making me laugh like crazy. It wasn't a very good start today. I banged my guzheng 3 times and it created a (not very noticeable yet) dent in it. I woke up this morning from weird, bizarre and horrifying dreams, and literally having panic attacks (audrey you know what it's like). If we all collated our dreams and put them down on paper we wouldn't need to have paper 4 pc anymore. We can be Freud and Jung and analyze our bizarre, unnatural, sublime and ambiguous dreams all we want and we'll all get like As for it. But praise God! all is not lost. I escaped L&L (quote Trent: 'the dynamite duo') and got Chew instead. And i'm still in here blissfully watching Project Runway. Omg they designed for DRAG QUEENS this week. :o

Enjoy. And blast the volume as much as you please, it's really soft.

which i never got around to setting in cyberspace. I kind of forgot alot of it, and some of it you can just read on other blogs, or you've already seen and heard and experienced it yourself. Well well. I rarely do this anymore, relating the events of my boring life for random people to pick up. But i got seized by some strange epiphany lately.

So let's recap.

SINGAPORE GOT SILVER. TAKE THAT WORLD. =D

And the day we beat Korea by a hairline margin was so hilarious, as you might already know. Various multitudes ponning Econs lecture to crowd the under-LT1 area and the stairs to wildly cheer the nation on, roar with each point scored and groan with each lost. Classic microcosm of nationalism, population overcrowding (298462910 students to the 1 pathetic resouce that was the 48-inch LCD TV) and (relative) population homogenity. 2 days later we got trashed by the China Iron Ladies, but who cares. We ended the 48-year drought.

On Saturday the following beings (quote Ms Chew) comprising of Audrey, QJ, Trinity, Calvin and myself dragged ourselves to school for 5 grueling, time-wasting hours of hitting the free compo.The course of the day also included discovering hysterical new aspects to QJ's hilarity, Audrey retaliating to Trinity's bullying by shedding light on his scandalous social life, and post-Olympics tristesse-cum-composing-insanity in the form of QJ whistling 'We Are Singapore' all the way to the front gate. I got a raging headache after that, plus cramps that come with the red stuff. I think it was from staring at the comp screen for too long and from playing with Amos' screechy glass harps.


Videoooos.

AAAAGH why are the SCC Youtube vids suddenly posted here?!?! I didn't touch LJ for the weekend! I now have nightmares of random people hacking my Youtube or LJ account. Own up own up! Leave my pathetic blogging soul to rest please.
