Guitar

I wanted to get my guitar last sat, I planned for a guitar shop tour with my dad driving me around, my my my, and what does window shopping do to people? It gets them more and more fickle minded. 2 days before, i went to davis, there's a Hofner guitar that look so great! with stripes of different shades of beige - it looked my affection. However, in ranking sports, a strunal guitar gave such vibrant sound that was the main movie of me trying to get rate of my Ibanez one. It was so tough to choose a guitar that i really like which can be of good use, in the end, i spoke to my instructor briefly and decided to speak to her during our next lesson about guitars 1st(which have been spoken about), gota wait then.

During that sat, we went into meastro store which sells singapore made guitar - meastro. There, a product specialist - Si Min, is a old NYPGC member, she came for La Guitare 2006 Concert and found us familiar, conversations took off and she gave me her name card as a form of contact. Meastro gives 35% discount to NYP students, but their guitars are not to my liking.

Andri fell in love with a spanish guitar, he went back to meastro alot of times to play it, considered buying it... yet, at the last moment, realised there are some buzzing sound which killed his thoughts of owning it. A quote from him - "An almost perfect guitar to me! so sad." I'm sad too! i tot i could have got hold of my new guitar already!

Monday's Foul Luck

Strunal Guitar - seemingly my choice of guitar now, we found retailers' addresses in singapore and i decided to go check up on them, mark went back to get his family car after sch and we went in search for the shop. 293 Tanjong Katong, we spinned afew rounds... missing the shop twice or so... but it was closed! And when i went to check on the operation hours, it's close on sunday and monday... How suay! Shops we wanted to go closed too, but we went for a makan tour instead - at least mark's driving.

NYP Open House 2007

Who would come for open house in the morning? -.-" and why are ensemble time slots in the morning? I would certainly love to change it. But nevertheless, syarah, gilbert and elton did a great job today with their performances, syarah looked down with her performance, but it was alright, just alittle lack of confidence from her expression! deserves to be applauded though!

Toa Payoh Guitar Club

Gonna audition for TPGC tml, 27th, think it will be fun and pleasant! hopes i can get thru and join the club!

Closing The End

It has been coming, i am sensing the closure of one of my longest friendship i presume? It had been a year since it all started, although i knew we are getting different for a long time prior to that. Maybe i knew him more than most? You do things in a year, a decade later, u change your ways abit and criticise people who do things in your old manner, is it befitting? What is selfishness in this world? Does it sustain infinitely or only when it is remembered? What is a person's character, is it the manner a person portrays him to be or the manner he thinks in life? Most people wear a mask, it's a form of protection, a form of trump card. Hidden motives lurgs everywhere in this world, as much as we dread it, it will exist till the day we humans evolved to beings with a small mind. Yes small mindful brain, those of an innocent child.

Are friends supposed to try to deceive each other? to try to gain advantage? yes, good friends aren't calculative - yet, it's the persistence of such stuff that makes one wonders, is that someone a good friend? Certainly not when he trys to get all the incentives and advantages for himself, isnt it? It's freaking to see that people accepts it as jokes, or maybe it's just coz i know more of him. U see, it's like a war sometimes, it's either u becomes hard hearten to balance things, or soft hearten and get devoured. Personalities play a part too, birds of the same feathers flock together, but not birds of two stubborn brains that contrast badly.

Yea, so i am wondering, i donwan it to continue anymore, and the only way is to get out of it, let time pass and see how it goes.

It's disgusting and irritating to see scheming people talks about scheming people, get what i mean? It's ridiculous that a scheming person knows scheming people's freakyness and not their own. It's endless that the top bites the top.

The kindest of soul is usually those with a simple mind, and it's so comfortable to be with people with the kindest of soul, an utopia without wits battle or the sight of schemes that harms the eyes, i dislike to be taken advantage of, i don mind if i am willing or someone acknowledges it, but no when someone plays dumb, it's only fulfilling to treat the good good and the bad bad.

Thoughts of his character is so bad that everything seems a fake, cant actually tahan the things he do

I pulled a step back, doing me no good. An apology came without substance, can it be expecting a resolution or just another act? Impression so bad it does no good. Proved right with sights of disgust

Words Changed

"Where's your loyalty!?" this sentence once made me think stuff over. And now, that person is doing just exactly the opposite, It's like someone i admire failed me? something i experience in sec3? that made me rethought about what's exactly is the good and the bad? It's a different issue compared to that, it's not as emotional. But when cheekiness is added, it instead turns irritating, very very irritating, go striaght to the point, don oh, i lost the baa baa already. what am i to say with that, wow! you'r so cool with ur words! Why don u just kick that straight at me instead of beating about the bush. I am disappointed, but at the same time understandable by your seemingly selfish behaviour at times, together with insensitiveness which i tot you had it last time. Not in RL, but at least in the Net, i was amused, not anymore i guess.

Issue

What is noble? to be loved or to love? People would love to be loved than to love, but is it more noble to love than to be loved. To love, don go bonkers due to desperation, seek what you really want, a lifelong person with limitless trust or an accompanyment or peer pressure or just a girl or a boy. Be loved, blessed, but never shud it be suffering unless a person gets too persistent, reasons? did you get straight with him, if you did, great, maybe he/she went bonkers, his/her fault. But when can that be seen? when you have tried to straighten his thoughts. Only then is fair to judge i presume? My opinion.

Crap, i have like so many things to complain today, but i guess not, it wouldnt end.

Nanyang Polytechnic Open House

Upon receiving words that Nanyang Polytechnic Guitar Club (NYPGC) would only be performing on friday and saturday, i have got to change the performances layout as it would overun if i shift thursday's performances to friday and saturday, so there have to be some sacrifices. When i was notified by Sean, batch 10 president to handle the layout of the open house, i thought of giving everyone a chance to perform, and so planned to have most people in NYPGC to participate, it was all done up, and we're just waiting for the occassion. But the world's full of surprises, thus i decided to abandon the junior ensemble, junxin's solo and my solo performances. Here, i would like to apologize to all juniors (Batch 12) and Jun Xin for cancelling their performances. Sorry.

Nanyang Polytechnic Guitar Club

We've been the new committee for just 1 week, and 1 week was enough for me to be filled with optimism about our batch 11's ability to improve guitar club. Everyone knows what they are supposed to do, alot of people have suggestions on how to improve the guitar club, although some have their minds set on certain ideas which may be alittle extreme, all they want is a better NYPGC, and that is what we all desire. True enough, it may also another san feng zhong ri du experience from people, but it is certainly better to have these than to have none. Just 1 week, but i feel great about it.

Phases of Life

When i was younger, i lived in Ang Mo Kio Ave 10, there was a playground beside my void deck leading to a park, a small little garden with shelters on the other side where i 1st learned cycling on two wheels when i was Primary 2. So i will always have fond memories there. It only makes it better that my godmother stays there (2 blocks away), and that we always go to her house after school during weekdays as she look after us. We made their family fed up sometimes becoz of frequent quarrels but it just brings everyone closer. Kindergarden - i used to be scared being at home alone, whenever my godmother went out to do something, say buy some food, i'll creep into my ah pek's room to sleep near him on the bed. Lower Primary - i sat on my report book, ranked 33/40 in class to avoid letting my godmother see, she told me that if i do that, i will not be able to study well! And so i let her see... i learned, for the 1st time in my life, vulgarities from peers in school, the F word somehow made me bonkers on the day i learned, utterly using it every 10mins for whatever reasons unknown. Upper Primary - i play table tennis using the walls, practicing and catching the ball till i sweat like mad even though i bathed, and guess what, i don think i bathed again after that... I cooked with my godmother, helping her with dishes and stuff, so i'm a good cook after all :x Secondary - I became braver and stayed home alone, got addicted to a MMORPG - darkages that sometimes felt reluctant to leave the computer. It leads to me going to my godmother's house lesser and lesser as the days gone by.

The last time i visited my godmother was during the september semester holidays which i wrote an article on. Now? January. I thought of going during the two weeks break, but i didnt. How i wish our houses are closer, how i wish to visit her everyday, even to say hi, or to help her cook again even though she rejected me the last time around. How i wish i can repay her love and care for me.

My parents told me they saw her in Kovan during the weekends, she asked about me, whether i am busy. I would love to say yes, because i didnt visit her regularly enough for my own liking. Yet, although i do have a tight schedule with dismissals at least after 5, i could have visited her at times as long as i planned to, but i didnt, i prefered to have fun out with friends, to relax at home, to practice my guitar or do other things. Why? I want to repay their love, i want them to know they'r still in my heart, i want relish the days when i was young with them. Somehow, i am writting this with a heavy heart, as i know, i know that i could have done better for them, i know that i could have visited them more regularly, i know that as much as i wished that i could've planned these properly, i could not redo it.

But i can start now, i would love to start now, at least before i am enrolled into NS which will take even much more of my time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's 2007 now, new year resolution? i certainly have some this year, 1st is to get a jacket, then i can just pull over a shirt, grab my jacket and out i go! as simple as it can be.

anyone recalls those times when everyone was panicking about the millenium bug? Y2K? so much so that most of our poor parents had got to be in their offices for the countdown, preparing for a total failure in network communications. Since then, it has been 7 years! enough for a newborn kid to be enrolled into primary school already.

Countdown in Singapore

The fireworks at marina was quite entertaining, it's always nice to hear the explosions roaring down from the sky as the lights spatter widely throughout the night sky. Though it wasn't as nice compared to the fireworks festival's usual last day of delightful display(whatever the country "performing" last), here are some pictures taken by my bro at an unknown location with sufficient altitude to view pass the esplanade. He just wouldn't tell me.



Good Luck Pal

One of my friend met a stumble in his relationship life, he isn't one that goes for a relationship just for a company, or just to experience one. It really feel genuine whenever he talks to me about it - at least not someone who would go for any person just for the sake of it or goes bonkers becoz of it. He's a strong lad though, and being his friend nevertheless, i would like to wish him luck in life! And to stay happy all the time.

NYP Guitar Club - Passing Down Ceremony

It's 2007 now, 1 and a half years since i joined NYPGC, at that time, there were batches 9 and 10 seniors, and we were the juniors. Enrichment course, Mr Francis' junior ensemble, Lunchtime performance, La Guitare 2005, those were the time when we batch 11 started playing as an ensemble, the La Guitare was what utimately brought everyone of us together, although some of us have left the club for various reasons, the spirit in the club never dies, neither do our memory spent together practising and performing - think that's what the wonder of music can do, and i certainly want everyone of us to perform together again during our last year in NYP.

The passing down ceremony was for the batch 10, who would be leaving school after this year and move on in life out of nyp, whether to study uni or to work. They are great personals, friendly, supportive and helpful, though their numbers further decreases after that La Guitare 2005, those that are still around are a bunch of great guys and gals, and so ytd, 6/1/07 was made for them.

We started off with a debrief, seniors' work and it was about the same as the previous 1, not many opinions and so, personally, i think this got to do with the paisehness and feedbacks whereby most of it was addressed already. So it was quite a breeze and ended very soon.

Off for refreshments, the drumsticks are great man, delicious enough to be one of the few dishes in a "buffet" style meal that actually got finished up.

Games were next, charades, musical chair, flour filled gummy bears with a little surprise. The charades over ran i guess, but it was still fun nevertheless, with zuyi making another shen hua of drawing his panda like a snowman. When other were playing the musical chair thing, some of us prepared water bombs for the surprise, it was done quite fast with many of us helping, so we got to see them play the game. The mood of playing games was quite drowned, perhaps becoz batch 12 isn't really that close to us and didn't really participated zealously. Baz eventually won the prize as Thow showed some gentlemanship and of coz, got the do the forfeits of writing the symbols - "NYPGC!" using their(all losers) butts and a chicken dance. The game ended we all got back in to the stuffy room for the actually passing down.

Our batch presented them a shirt each, drawn up by Huiwen with a splendid effort and our signatures. I wouldnt bet that they will wear it again though, more of a souvenir. Then, it was the posting accouncement, Sean(batch 10 president) slowly accnounces them and i became the president of batch 11 and was presented with the clubroom key and a gift which was a new keychain, more than befitting! As the old cat is quite ragged already. I gave a speech somewhat unsteadily before Sean came up with a speech about teamwork. It was quite touching and Zu Yi could be seen with some tears on his eyes, which we laughed at :x After these, we got off to take pictures after pictures which i'll be awaiting impatiently to see!

The new key chain is nice man, there's a strape with NYPGC carved metallic pieces together with a guitar miniture - The old cat keychain of batch 8 to 10 was then replaced with that

Some pictures from Jin Hui's Blog, i'll be posting others later once i have them.
