Communication Skills, Communication Networking Tests on Wednesday.

Automation, Semestral Project Marketing Tests on Friday.

Semestral Project Presentation and Documentation on Next Monday.

HTML project on Next Friday.

Exams Next Next Week.

The most worrying thing is the semestral project presentation and documentation, i'll only have 1 fine sunday to do both stuffs. Monday and Tuesday for Wednesday's Tests, Wednesday Night and Thursday for Friday's Tests, Saturday CJC performance that will take up the whole day, which leaves Sunday free, except for the 30mins Yamaha Guitar lesson. Dead, time to stock up caffine.

St Mary of the Angels

Quite a nice place really, i have in mind that most church people are friendier than the general population out there, probably as they interact more when they attend church mass? i have no idea the actual reason but the trip there to perform proved so as well.

We went there on a mini bus, more like a seated van actually and reached there around 7, when Marcus, Kaiwen, Yanling and GK arrived as well, we went to take our dinner, exchanged with a coupon. Sound check next, a funny one really, sound checks supposed to be done without the audience right? as we were seated and going to start "checking" the audiences were allowed in, and so they have some preview and some ding ding dong dong to listen as a welcome lol. Then, we were made into some fishes, they gave us the children chapel as the waiting area, which is like a tank at the side, not tainted nor mirrored. The amazing thing was that when the brass quintet went out to perform, they offed all the lights... except the performance area and our
fish tank "chapel"! haha.

The performance by us was generally ok only, the practice time in TPGC was much better. I made mistakes at the triplets, changing chord when it wasnt time to.. but they say i managed to cover it up well, or maybe they did not hear it, or maybe they'r just trying to console me. Anyway, all of us did mistakes, but El Choco was much better. Everyone said it was a great performance, musically nice and so on, but we know we could have done better without the nerves, haha, it was fun though.

As usual, Marcus and Kaiwen father and son duet performed to everyone's amusment. As kaiwen, a 10year old boy played his rapping guitar part, heads after heads pop higher and higher, trying to verify, is that true? SERIOUS? a 10year old kid playing so fast?! Yea, and he's better than many of us.

I went to met EoD friends later on, and we went to have yu tiao, dou hua at geylang. Long time since we met Ling, who was taumaticed by Mark's sudden surge of danger driving... Hope he wouldnt do that once he's riding, or it'll be quite terrible.

Exams are just around the corner, HTML project to be done, sem project to be submitted, lab tests coming this friday. Everything's coming, but it'll be over in a blink i guess. Anyway, i hope i'll have more time after this sem, and hopes that my FYP phase if before attachment's!

I'll start this article with 1 major incident in my life, which happened last week, thursday, 19th July 2007.

I was driving that day, ta baoing my dinner before sending my friend home, and that was when i got into a car accident. It was the junction just infront of my house, 1 street away from my friend's, how suay is it... haha. When that car banged into me, when my shoulders felt the impact and the sound so drastically unappealling, i felt lost, why did that car have to continue moving even as i honk him, why must he bang my car which liabilities will be incurred? I wasn't feeling the fright then, as i felt i wasn't in much of a wrong, but as i spoke to him at times when we were discussing/arguing about the incident, i stuttered unknowningly, some words i have to pronounce twice, or even thrice even as i knew what i wanted to say clearly in my mind. Insurance? Compensation? what to do? i didn't really know, i only knew i had to write down his details, take pictures and so on.

As the conversation goes on, the man made changes to the story, insisting that he saw me cutting out from another lane, overtaking another car that caused the accident which was totally rubbish. But as i thought he is one of those scheming fellows who wouldnt admit wrong, he just gives me this impression that he's sincere, and that he's some person trying to cover his backside as people normally will. Even insurance policy has a statement, "never admit fault even when you're in the wrong". That's how the world is ran, run, running, and still going.

So, it has to be a fight out with the insurances, telling our own views to our own insurances to fight it out. Certainly, i'm confident i will win the case, because whatever he said to me shouldn't be able to fool the judge who should be assessing the damages, it's just too fake.

When this incident took place, it made me wonder about riding. If i had been riding on a bike rather than a car, there will only be two outcome - which will be death or hospitalised. Accidents need not be caused by you, and so dangers lurks on roads inevitably at times, i learned from this, and don think i will be learning to ride in this life time, or any time soon.

It also appears to me that bikers themselves endangers their lives by riding on the lane lines, It isn't safer becoz there isn't any cars infront or behind, it's more dangerous as you are in the blind spot of cars where some drivers wouldn't check and just change lane abruptly, causing potential hazards.

Saturday morning, as i drove the car to the workshop, i don feel the same on the roads anymore. There were more considerations, i would think about the accident which is still in my mind even as i type now. Perhaps i have developed some slight phobia, yet, i don think it's all that bad, i'll certainly be more careful now, and that phobia will eventually be gone as i drive more when i get the car back 1 week later.

Not bad huh, two doors so badly damaged and it only takes 1 week to repair, i couldn't even unlock or open the doors!

A Maths Teacher, Stanley Tan

Friday was meaningful, i met some friends who i didnt get to see for quite some time, busy with our own lives after o levels. We had mos burger, played some arcade and went off to ice cube, a icecream restaurant which was previously owned by my friend's father's friend that was once our hangout. Our Amaths teacher joined us, i met him in NYP during graduation, when he attended an old boy's gold medalist "honourfication". He looked aged then, more skin lines perhaps, but his old statement never change. He used to tell us he will retired when every student of his scores distinction in Amaths, or that he'll retire when his students do very well and that he wouldnt bother to care anymore. It was nice to hear him say that again, not as his students, but as his ex, more of expression of his feelings than a statement to try and spur us on. So we got on chatting till 12+, talking about our own lives, NS, Austrial Studies, JC... Old schoolmates, our secondary school itself, poly life, future plans... and so on. It was much fun, becoz each of us got to know what we had done for the two years or so and what are our lives like now.

Much have changed, yes, but we never once drifted apart, and that's due to mIRC, some people says it's old fashion. But to me, it's better than MSN in 1 critical way, which is to get together as a group in a chatroom, it's much easier compared to MSN mass invitation.

It felt we have matured, no more nonsensical talks like last time, and i will be looking forward to more gatherings, which i am sure they are too, becoz we are like the truest of friends, an EoD family.

Guitar

This saturday, we'll (Andri, Bing Xian, Syarah and Me) be performing our quartet pieces in St Mary Church, or was it St James? i 4got haha... hope everything goes well.

The week after, we'll be going to CJC as guest performers for their concert, it should be fun, especially as CJC is the school where most of my secondary friends went. Although they'r all out of there already haha

Food Fest

Ice Balls at 10cents? i bet the auntie hated to have people buying those! making ice balls just to sell for 10cents, and that, i can see from her frowning face when people order them :/. It was nice, just ice with syrup, just the reason why i like ice kachang without eating the kachang sometimes becoz it leaves you thristy.

Just an Update :)

Weird, i'm writting stuffs when i have no time in my mind. haha...

A century of pages report, practically giving the lecturer back the textbook. No idea how it helps academically. Interviewer questions not done up, but should be simple, just need to ask hard questions... The only thing is, towards friends. Then the interviewee section, have not print my result baa baa, why do we need to do this for a mock interview! it's like, you know the interviewers aren't some boss, the way you talk to them would definitely be different... HTML project, not started yet. 5 weeks deadline.

I feel alittle off of shape now, overloaded i guess, i couldn't get myself to play the guitar i love so much, i could just lie on the sofa doing nothing, rest seems so important now... During the holidays, or rather, exam break, i felt as though i needed some days off. I have been overly busy with guitar stuffs and school stuffs that i tot of quitting TPGC for the time being, esp since i'm going NS next year anyway, which will eat up all my time. As well as sunday's yamaha lesson, i feel that i need a weekend off, doing things i like anytime.

There are some things i want to clarify, say, ask, and express, but i am hesitant. I don really know whats best to do, so many factors everywhere.

I'm sorry if i aren't doing it right

Anyway, we are currently practising a quadruplet for a church charity performance on 28th july. Pieces are Ai No Kurashi, Yesterday Once More and another that i forgot again... not something i know.

Last week, in TPGC, there was this personality workshop base on natural environment influrence. Like whether you are the eldest, youngest, only kid, male or female and so on. It remains true to me that these influrences your personality, as well as peers, the things you believe, see and get exposed to. But i doubt anyone would say they have the ideal personality we normally are in search of. an ideal personality to us means good life, something that leads to a good life, be it popular, cheerful, anything that we, individual minds differently like. So much as we can be depressed about certain things, we can also see light in others.

No one is ideal, from a prospective, we see another as "ideal", while from "ideal" prospective, they see our normal self as ideal. Take cheers from our lives, don get depressed with everything, becoz for every depressing thing, there will be some cheerful thing that we take for granted or not in notice of
