8th Repeat

I realised I didn't post the lyrics for the video I posted earlier... here they are.

7th Melody

This song is my inspiration, my motivation. I always get reminded of this when I get frustrated over things I could not do. The chorus is of course, the most meaningful of all.

The most superb part is that I have the music score for it! =]

I'll be posting more songs and scores soon, so those music lovers stay connected to this site! Although I'm sure there are other better sites that have scores. =/

6th Symphony

I woke up to a brand new day...same old room...same old life...
The phone rang seconds after I turned it on, it was on silent, and it was a message.
I picked it up, and I saw that it was from one of my little god-sisters...it read:

"K0rr. Thx 4 being there 4 me."

Sometimes it's things like these that affirms us in our life, to make us feel that life isn't that bad. To make you feel like they really needed you when the time called for it. Is this the feeling of being loved? Or is it just something unexplainable?

Nevertheless, I loved her like my own flesh and blood, and I wouldn't want anything to happen to her.

5th Movement

Life kicks you in the back when you're down. Trust me on this one, it just did it to me.

I was playing Dynasty Warriors and it's just so interesting to actually read about all these people who lived during that period. "Romace of the Three Kingdoms" is what they called it, go Wiki it and read a little on it.

Guan Yu in Dynasty Warriors 6

One of my all-time favorite characters is/was Guan Yu. Before I was a Catholic, I believed he was the God of War and I heard stories about him being brave and all. After turning Catholic that worship modd turned into respect and I admire him for his valor and courage.

Anyway, my brother invited his friends over for some get-together. I came back to find all of his friends around. I just stayed in my room playing Dynasty Warriors WITH MY KEYBOARD. So unusual.

Tomorrow is school AGAIN! But soccer in the evening...=] Alex's bringing his brother along! we'll see how good he gets!

4th Movement

Played soccer today and I've decided, I'm playing street soccer for the rest of my life, no more field.
Got thrashed 7-2, at least we scored 2, better than Singapore vs Uzbekistan...

And to add on to the hurt, everyone in TOG was invited to hangout via SMS, guess who didn't receive anything? No prize to the correct answer.

At least the drama input today was quite worthwhile. We were doing the "Conflict Circle" exercise...We sit in a circle, then two people will come out to act a scene, afterwards anyone can replace another person by shouting "freeze" and then replacing the person, starting a new scene.

I was doing a scene with Jared, then Melissa replaced him, I was "holding" a "gun", and then she started the new scene with the line, "Daddy, why are you pointing the gun at me?"

And obviously I was stunned.

The whole place was quiet for a good 5 seconds, until both of us reacted, that is.

And I can sense people gossiping about me now, not just a few, but everyone I know...

Other than that, LOVELY DAY! =]

3rd Movement

School today was a little boring, though I must say it started out as crap, but it got better after a while...too bad Wesley wasn't there...

Jammerz Arena still have yet to email me about the Welcome Party thing, not that I'm complaining...good things take a long time to come...=]

I've been trying to sleep earlier recently, so the people who try to contact me after 10pm may find it quite impossible...

Tomorrow is History of the Arts, nice lesson but boring facilitator, but I'll just tahan all the way.

I'm addicted to Dynasty Warriors 4....help...must...stop...

Labels: emo shit thing

2nd Movement

I dread coming to school everyday...it's like a nightmare come true...but I'll try to tahan all the way...

I'm trying to look at the optimistic side of things now, so I'm just going to say that there ARE some people whom I really like in class, like Wesley and Salome...haha, used to not like Nasrin but things are getting better.

Can't wait for semester to end, and I hope I don't get any wounds from this semester...I"d like to forget E24R...

1st Movement

Whoopee...no more boring blog skin, this one's nicer ain't it?

Anyway, for some of you who don't know what the URL means...

MUSIC
Sound that produces effects, written music or the art of arranging sounds.

MONOLOGUE
Theatre: Actor's long, uninteruppted speech for an entire play or for one actor only.

So technically, a "MUSIC MONOLOGUE" would be a SOLO, go and understand what a solo would mean on a blog like mine...=]

The SHORT+SWEET SINGAPORE play is over and I am sooooo glad we didn't make it into the finals. I mean, not THAT glad but glad enough. I promised the Monday Soccer Boys that I can go every Monday now, and if I break that I'd be sinning, won't I?

To me it seemed like a complete waste of time, I mean, stage debut yah...but in the end all I gave is probably a bad impression to Geraldine and the others...next time they ask me to act, I'll reject them. I'm just not ready yet.

The script for the Bible Sunday Play is almost done...too "Biblish" it seems, need to make it more funky...

And did I mention my class sucks on an overall scale?

Day 169 Year 2008

Start entry \-

Tiring day at school...had to run up and down 'cause of a mix up and then we couldn't get anything solid done. But we managed to answer some questions and come up with SOMETHING.

Then went to rehearsal at SJI...the place is so freaking far but when I left school at 4.30, I reached there at about 5.45! Amazing, isn't it? Considering that they are quite a distance apart...

The rehearsal was at 7.30, so I did RJ and played Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper until the battery went flat. Then played 3D soccer on my handphone until Mel came, then Brian and slowly the whole gang, except Jill and Kevin...

Tomorrow is a tech run and a full dress rehearsal...so I guess I'm going to be busy...and I'm not going to school on Thursday! Because knowing 'Ching, she's probably going to let us off late again and I won't make it in time for the performance...

Pray for me! =]

Remember my new blog name when I move it...and the Short+Sweet Singapore play is coming...I'm going to wear a DRESS!!! WTH!!!

Okay...I wasn't supposed to say that....

Day 164 Year 2008

Start entry \-

I'm going for a TOG camp tomorrow, so please do not contact me. I will not be available at all. You can try, but no guarantee that I'll reply...haha...

I'm going to get my jacket from Kyou Un tomorrow, need it to scare the hell out of Jared...heeehee...poor boy's afraid of the dark, I used to, no shame about it but of course...take advantage of it now is better than never, right?

I finished the script for TOG's play on 13th July, church event and so you can't see it...oops.

And I'm currently on hold for an event in August. It's quite big, it's the 50th Anniversary Celebration for the Franciscan Friars and I heard there will be stars like Brian Richmond and Andrea De Cruz around there, so yeah...woohoo...

Anyone want their autographs? Pay me first...haha.

Day 162 Year 2008

Start entry \-

I sent my flute for servicing, never touched it for like, 3 years and I wanna use it again. I was busy with er...*ahem* another darling of mine...

I finally found the music score for Regina Spektor's The Call. It's a beautiful song and you guys should go download it, no guarantee it'll move you though.

Played soccer today, yah, I know, today's Tuesday. They booked it on a Tuesday for fun...so I thought since I had nothing to do, why not go and exercise? Heehee...

I'm going for camp this Friday...TOG camp...and another rehearsal on FATHER'S DAY...

Right, who am I to complain?

I watched Indiana Jones this afternoon and it was a little...far fetched for a treasure hunting movie...I'd rather not be a spoiler and say everything out...

There's another reheasal tomorrow...whoopee-doooo

Day 160 Year 2008

Start entry \-

Woah, day 160...seems like only yesterday was the countdown to 2008...

I went for the Chong Boon Band's BBQ just now, passed Yueen Yee her present, and then stayed a while to hang around with my buddies, at least until dad said it was time to go. He didn't need to say that, it was my time to go a long time ago.

I have to go back for the WOW rehearsals...Jill wants me to learn how to stage manage. So no soccer for me tomorrow but lucky they booked the court on Tuesday...makes me wish that we had soccer everyday...heehee...

I'm officially the scriptwriter for the Bible Sunday play and I promised to finish it by tomorrow, stacked with the Minutes I'm supposed to do, makes me wonder why I have the time to even blog now.

I'd be rather busy tomorrow, perhaps this is my life, not boring, just a lot of stress...but who am I to say such stuff? Other people have worse...

And I saw Wen Hui today...everytime I see her, I would always be reminded about the failure I am, how I tried to make her study hard and all that. Perhaps this is all how life is supposed to be, a reflection on a single fail is heavier than a refreshment from a thousand successful incidents.

Don't say that I'm emo, that's how life is.

Day 158 Year 2008

Start entry \-

I got some rea~~lly cool songs I want to play by the end of July...heehee...they are as follows:

The Scientist - Coldplay
The Riddle - Five for Fighting
I Think I - Unknown Korean singer
Amazing - Aerosmith
Dare - Gorillaz
The Call - Regina Spektor
Time of Your Life - Green Day

So yeah...a whole lot of songs, but I'll try to master half of it by July.

And I tried looking for the Barney Theme song but they don't seem to have any on the net, I wonder why...anyone know where I can find it? I'd really love to play it. =]

Oh, by the way, if any of you people own a Creative product, please help my friend do this survey:

So yeah...

I watched Kung Fu Panda today and the first 10 minutes already gave me the stitches. It was extremely funny and the voice of Jack Black really pulled it off. I guess he's an upcoming star in the Hollywood sector, seeing how he plays certain characters so far in his recent movies.

I have to start on my PP soon, dragged too long, though I must say I'm halfway there, still need to interview the companies. I want to get it done by August and better, by July.

So ya, July seems like a very important month, but whatever, July is always important. My daughter's birthday is in July, so I'll start hunting for a present now.

I realize I still owe my god-daughter her Christmas present... o0

And oh ya! I'm no longer needed for the WOW play (like finally) but I'll be facilitating some CC1 camp game in Labrador Park...wat the hell...and I've to dress up as a maid, how's that?

But the good news is, soccer every Monday! Woohoo!!!

Day 157 Year 2008

Start entry \-

I'm thinking that Jammerz Arena rejected me already, since I haven't recieved any email since...LAST WEEK. SO I guess I can't get myself a band then...nobody wants a saxophone =[
Don't you just hate the world?

I guess those who broke the tradition faced this kind of hardships too, but I'll eventually find a way, somehow.

And Randy Orton lost at One Night Stand, no mood to post pictures or talk about it.

And it's you when I look into the mirror,
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone.
Sometimes you can't make it on your own.

Day 156 Year 2008

Start entry \-

I was thinking a lot just now about a lot of stuff...I watched the Chronicles of Narnia earlier in the afternoon and I was thinking about how the media portrays death as a "nothing-much" matter. The way all those side characters die...don't they have family and friends too? Why do we care so much if Tom Cruise dies compared to a guy in Republic Polytechnic? Aren't they both human too?

Well, perhaps I'm thinking too much, maybe a little too much than what the society is expecting of me. But that's what society is, brainwashing...

Wesley's gig is two days away, wonder if he's still selling tickets...if he is, I think it's too late to get them...dammit.

Kyou Un's away at Japan, forgot to mention that. That means no girlfriend contact until end of holidays...

Life's a bitch isn't it?

Day 156 Year 2008

Start entry \-

I miss Chong Boon Band, but I have to break free from it, it is like an addiction I'm going to break. But of course, I miss the people there, Zhao Fa, Sasi...but it's all over and I'd have to get over it.

Yueen Yee told me there's going to be a band BBQ on June 8th (her birthday!), but no one told me about it until I asked her so...I guess I'm not invited...not that I'm complaining...

And er...anyone interested going for Wesley's gig? $6 a ticket. =]

Sometimes you just have to know when to let go...a friend once told me that the hardest lesson to learn, is the last lesson of all:

How to say farewell.

Day 155 Year 2008

Start entry \-

Day 155 of the Gregorian calender of the year 2008. Time flies quickly.

155 days have passed, 155 days of failure.

Don't ask me why, it's just that way. I'm still searching for what I really want, and I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

I don't even know what I'm looking for, I just know that I'm looking for something, of what I do not know.

Take my time, I say, haha...

But then again, did I say that? Or is it someone else?

155 days have passed, 155 days of hearing something, someone that I want it gone.

Day 154 Year 2008

Start entry \-

Spent the day with Joel...he came at about 11, played some Fifa '08 and some Ghost Recon 2. Dynasty Warriors was a havoc game and I learnt something new with him, lol.

Watched "Meet the Spartans" and the ending of "Superhero Movie". Lame sia, both movies, shouldn't have watched it.

Went to the gym and saw two bengs there, obviously we were a little afraid at first, then after that we were fine.

Went soccer in the evening, with Daniel and Shazly gave him the name "D", like what the hell. He himself confuses with his names Daniel and David, most probably 'cause he wants it as a confirmation name...lol.

Other than that, today was a fine day!

And I'm NOT changing my blog skin...not until after my birthday. =]
