Haha.

ok ok im going to take a rest now have been a hectic hectic day hahaha... so yar i'll say more tmr =o)

-CH

ouch

hmm my blog still takes eons to load...

ouch hurt my leg... slided in the semi-D while playing soccer during pe... super big abrasion... i slipped lorz... how stupid trying to connect a cross... but in the end i still hit the ball but it went quite far, not into the net.

but soccer was great. i scored one goal today! from a perfect cross right into my line of running yay!

but ouch

now wondering how to wear long pants tmr... haha

-CH

new tagboard!

haha was wondering how come my blog takes forever to load, then found out tag-board isnt responding at all. hmmm... so yupz got a new tag-baord. now its DOODLE-board. so doodle instead of tag! hehheh

hmm realised that i have like different personalities these few days. some days i can be seriously quiet that people think something's wrong, and sometimes i am so hyper that people still think that something's wrong. oh wells. find a balance? haha... see how.

now that i've changed my harmony period, i find that my wednesday's not that appealing anymore... maybe i shld pon wednesdays hahaha...

oh wells... i m blogging in single sentences! or to be precise short concise paragraphs. by short concise paragraphs i mean realli short, and non repetitive, and by non repetitive, i mean that i don't repeat the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. means that i don't go and say the same thing in a thousand different ways so that i can reiterate everything to show how important it is. so that in the end my paragraphs are realli short because i don't use super elongated words like elongated which doesnt make any sense to me because its more than 3 syllables and i hate words that are that long, words like 'paragraphing' or 'dictionary' are examples of words more than 3 syllables, or in other words where i define the number of syllables to be y, and y>x, where x is a real positive integer >3.

ok haha that paragraph above doesnt make sense does it.

wells... today during civics there was this self reflection thing that we had to do. i find that my ambitions were wierd, although clear to me. hmm... how does 'not going to university' sound? wierd right, for those who know me.? hmm well shall see how mdm teng will respond to 'pursue a degree privately'.

gosh i hate my early days. ie monday and tuesday. monday i end at 12, then have aural at 2, then S at 4. the point is i end at 12. but there's so many thigns on.
tuesday i end at 1, have harmony at 2 and piano ensemble at 5.30.

gosh the long waits... but wells.. my timetable has already been a subject of envy of many others, esp peoplewho take more science subjects than me wahahaha.

hmm tmr's integration test on integration techniques... havent looked at my last year notes yet... well i have the 1st period to do so haha.

i realised that i have fallen out wif quite a few people. wads happening to me? it feels like im alienating everyone else... am i realli that cold? even some people i used to talk to / meet all the time can just disappear like that... wow i must be a magician... sheez...

gosh my napfa is like how crap... for one, my running has deproved like SO MUCH... i couldnt finish 5 rounds in 12 minutes!!! gosh and i have to aim to finish 6 in that time... must train already... but now im aching so much ouch ouch ouch...

wad a week... im looking forward to Friday! :) the one day i can realli party! no prizes for guessing why! haha.

oh wells must go rest... after trail napfa today i wonder if i can make it to school tmr, with PE tmr again... gosh i shouldnt have changed my PE period back... should have continued to tell the teacher that i have 'timetable clash' then dun go... but then if i do that my fitness level will be gone... geez...

okok im rambling. today is a good day cus ive not erhu lesson, means i can rest. whew. so i must go rest. heehee.

-CH

changes, and possible-to-be changes

1. changed harmony period so i can have PE wif my class. YAY
2. changed piano lesson time so thursdays dun need to rush yay!

hrm... joyful things aside...
some serious thinking last nite... while i was rushing my physics... afffects my hapiness... here's wad ive come up wif.

Physics: an evaluation

Pros of taking physics:

1. opens up another door if i go to uni.
2. ?
   seriously cant think of anything else.

Cons of taking physics:

1. tiring
2. stressful
3. cant understand a single thing
4. waste of my time
5. too many formulae
6. too many definitions
7. too abstract
8. no practical usage at all.
9. SPA

Pros of dropping physics:

1. no more late nights rushing tutorials!
2. no more 2-hour tutorials
3. no more SPA
4. no more copying tutorials just to hand up
5. no more working backwards from answers just to show the teacher i can do physics
6. no more trying to cram things into my mind last minute
7. no stress!!!
8. it'll be dropping the subject i hate most, and i believe i cant handle
9. no more trying to understand things that i dun understand, and not knowing where to ask from. (yar if u're wondering why i never ask questions in class its that im TOTALLY lost.)
10. more time to do things i like: music and maths. and work.
11. save money on one A-level paper.

Cons of dropping physics, and counter-cons:

1. may have to drop maths S as well. but then, S papers are not compulsory. its optional, and i dun need it. if i want, i can always zap the tutorials from others and do them myself.
2. left wif only 3 A subjs. so? minimum requirement is 3!
3. may not be accepted into science courses in uni. so? im not a science guy to start wif.
4. may not even get into uni as some uni dont recognise FM as a subj. Then dun go uni lorz...
5. there goes scholarship hopes. but wad do i need scholarship for? i seriously dun want to go uni anyways.
6. in the future, i may regret it cus im out of jobs etcetc. but do i look like i care? no job, can always go sweep the floors or some odd jobs. why not.
7. peers, teachers and almost everyone will ask why im dropping a subject which i score A in. haha. my A was a fluke. and i cant handle physics. i feel stressed whenever it comes to tutorials and lectures go by in a haze. not that i dun work hard. in fact i work too hard. but i just cant grasp anyhting, and i think im wasting everyone's time. especially mine. cant i do something i like, for eg play franck?

so infact, there's no cons at all! try telling me anymore cons.

the reason why im not droping yet is that my parents don't allow. ah heck. they tell me to last til april. will i? i seriously don't think so. its now mid jan. by the next few weeks i should have already made up my mind. it will take someone special to create miracles and make me last til the A's. i'm already not taking physics S, doesnt that speak volumes?

wad else can i say.

im too stressed up already. i think i can cope better wif 3 A level subjects. seriously the singapore school system is not for me.

oh wells. watch me.

-Chee Hang

tears and joy

tears: I'm falling sick again... haha guess why.

joy: I've got distinction! guess what.

Piano Chairs

Ouch. Haha. from trying to turn the nuts and bolts.

well, today Mrs Seah said, "If u're free and there's someone helping you, go assemble the three piano chairs. from RI". but there was no one around (oh wells Candice was but she was kind of doing her research, and Joyce was around, hiding in the small room cus she was cold...) so i fixed THREE piano benches in 45 minutes by myself!!! YAy accomplishment! though like never tried before so wad kind of accomplishment is that? haha... Oh wells wif no tools in hand, now my fingers are hurting quite a bit. but wells... i had fun. tho the benches are a bit shaky... hmm...

so if u now see 3 more yamaha benches in music room u know why. Hahaha.

Ok next up, BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

PIANO ENSEMBLE AUDITIONS!
tomorrow's slots are quite full, i've squeezed about 8 J1s in about an hour's time, so hopefully it'll go on nice. cus after that got J2s too!
Wednesday's slots, currently theres going to be 16 people for the whole afternoon. May have more.

For those who have already signed up, go to the list by 4pm tmr and see when's your slot. (for the tuesday ones its alerady up.) What's going to happen is that i've called everyone to assemble at the same time, so that i can give out some papers for u to fill up, then if there's a lot of people then i'll allocate shifts. esp for Wednesday! i cant ask all 16 to wait in that small room forever!

For those who still wants to sign up, or come for auditions, walk-ins are welcome! just be @ room A31 on tuesday 4.30pm or wednesday 1.30pm. If you come late u'll probably have to wait a while more. And prepare one piece that u can play. mm.

**************

that's that.

oh gosh im easily tempted! haha. though not as much as others, but when it comes to good food, and unhealthy but yummy junk food, haha how can i resist?

Haha... hmm i muz learn to resist, or else one fine day i might end up in trouble. hehheh


oh haha i had fun getting lost in 2 places today.

2) wow had fun walking the wrong way from Ngee Ann City to Paragon. took the wrong turn and ended up at orchard MRT. twice. some people never learn haha. must have looked realli stupid to the police there who were sort of stalking the illegal vendors or soemthing. sort of got recognised when passing them the 2nd time. oh wells should have waved. hehheh

courtesy of www.dictionary.com

what's wif me and childish/maturity?
I'm growing up, growing older. every year in January, im especially jumpy at times, cus im a january kid! which means im older than 11/12 of the people born in 1987. hmm... but does that make me mature for my age?
for a while it did. i used to think i was very mature and that i had the ability to see things from the way adults did, and thus i liked to mix wif adults rather than people of the same age group whom i considered childish. and i mixed more wif seniors than juniors too!
then one day, i became THE senior. meaning no more seniors around me. i became aware that i was drifting apart from others, and then i started mixing wif juniors more. i believed in the end i ended up abit more childish...
nowadays... i get comments that im very childish, which i think is true. i may be old, but i m childish, young at heart. but that doesnt mean i have lost my mature view on things. in fact, i think im fortunate enough. i can be childish and mature, depending on where/when/who i am(with). hmm... oh wells...

wads all this talk about chidishness and maturity suddenly? haha... if you're thinking this is a major big hint that my birthday is coming, guess wad, you're right.

haha just kidding. actually no. its just that well a few people have suddenly decided to shout at me to grow up. oh wells isnt that touching... and yes, i told them, i know im almost 18. sweet 18, the first step into adulthood. whY? well 18 is the year u can drive, drink, smoke, bet, watch M18 shows, etc etc legally. not that im going to try all of them at once. or if i try them at all. haha. but yes, 18 is a nice time to be, if not for A levels and NS looming ahead of me. oh wells guys get it hard.

if you havent noticed, 18 is such a wonderful number. it has a horizontal symmetry line! and its a multiple of 2,3,6,9! and 6 and 9 are opposites of each other, which makes 18 quite a complete number. hmm...wad kind of crap is that. haha. i just came up wif that.

oh wells. wif age and privileges come responsibilities. some of my juniors probably have heard this from me before you took on a leadership role! responsibilities. discipline. oh wells.

i muz learn to trust others more. sometimes i take on lots of things becus i dun trust others to do it well. and its nice to be trusted wif a lot of things. mm. oh ewlls. things i have to learn in my first year of adulthood. haha.

i msut start making a list of things to change about me. every year during my b'dae, i always coop myself up in my room and make a super long list of thigns i must accomplish, and things about myself i have to change, before i tear up that list and say wait for 18. HHAHA! now no more excuses!!!

so here goes:
1. grow up.
2. trust others more.
3. stop lazing.
4. be more proactive.
5. be more healthy.
6. be less helpful. haha jk. be even MORE helpful to others.
7...

oh wells why not u tell me?

haha how long more, 12 days? im going to make a list of my top priorities by then. i didnt say how many cus i know i'll never go around to making a long list...

hmm...
-Chee Hang

Lucky Lucky me

Ok on the lucky part later...

De Profundis today went well. Except for a few shouts here and there but anyways it was a good enough concert, looking back on how little time we had spent on it. the people i want to thank, and to say a job well done:
Wen Jin for organising this concert
Guan Wei for being an excellent stage manager
Candice for being a wonderful stage hand
Mark, Yi Han and Victor who were cool and calm when doing things on stage
Wendy and Toon Li for the tickets which were well done and well sold
Shaun for publicity
Grace for emcee, n not even flinching when i said something wrong on stage
Chamber, CWC, Chaleur Quartet, Wen Bin, and chorale for performing with us
The J1s: Hui Min, Malisa, Keegan, Zhi Zhong, Chaun En, Zheng Yi for ushering, and helping out a lot
Keegan and Zheng Yi who bravely volunteered to sit outside the doors even though it means not getting to watch the concert
And more... especially the teachers...

well done to meppies again! guess it would be the last concert for our batch ya? sadly so... we're J2 now and our concern shld be the A's at the end of this year... oh wells, hope the J1s can do all this things and even better when their turn comes! as i know, v-day concert is the first big project isnt it? haha muz be better than ours ok?


Ok some announcements:
Piano Ensemble.
All J1s and J2s are welcome to audition for it. just prepare one piece, can be solo or duet it doesnt matter. choose something u like. then sign up at the music room board, block A 3rd level. auditions are on tuesday 4.30 to 6pm and Wednesday 1 to 5 pm. Yupz all are welcome, though it is preferable if u can play the piano. Haha. Our meeting days are on tuesdays, 5.30 onwards. Oh by the way it is a non-core CCA, if that does affect your choice. mm. Means u dun get a lot of points for it, just participation and enrichment. And leadership if u get voted.
ok enuff said.

I'm a lucky person. I just feel I am. To be here, appreciated, even in the minutest ways. It feels good when someone says thank you to me. It feels great when someone whispers to me and this lets me know that I'm still around, and i play a part in your life.

I may not be a star, but the speck of dust beside it. Even I'm important, though not as striking. Well, i'm glad that people do know i'm around, and that the tiniest things are being noticed. mm. its a sweet feeling, warm and fluffy and bubbly and lovey... just like blue... mm noticed why my blog is blue? Haha.

I guess its me. I do not have the fate to do something big, to stand and command people, to be the centre of attraction. I may not be able to live with that, but i accept it that i play an important role in the background, and at the rarest occasions, i am thanked.

Im blessed.
To have such nice people around me.

Twinkle twinkle little star

Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

Who doesnt want to be a star?
A star that shines
A star that leads
A star that is recognised
A star that is important
A star that is praised
A star that is treasured
A star...

I am not a star.
Probably 'cos i cant see one.

I have always been, and will always be a background player.
My horoscope tells me to work quietly in the background.

I am like the wind, that no one notices when I'm around. But when I'm not there, people feel hot, but they quickly switch on the fans. I'm dispensable.


At times I just want to give up trying so hard.


At times, I just want to stop doing everything, and get my sleep at night. And be worry free, and stress free.


Who says I'm stress free now?
Who says I'm leading such a carefree life, that i can run all about and not worry about anything at all?
Just because I'm smiling now doesnt mean Im smiling inside.


I need a break.
It has been a busy 1 year last year, and now the 2nd busier year is starting...

Must i endure this?

help.

-Chee Hang

nowadays...

Wow its a wonder I'm here now... 12.56 am typing in front of my com? at my own home?

haha...
its been hectic followed by hectic. i havent been home late the past few days actually... wait wad kind of english is this... i have been home late: when the clock says something like 2 am or 3 am. Haha. my night life is soooooo interesting. wad can i say... work has to be done.

tonight... finally im home. ! at least for 1 day i dun need to leave home at 11pm hah. but im piled wif undone tutorials, and the concert coming up. gosh im in a mess. i actuallly STONED today lorz. gosh tmr will be the same. or rather later.

oh wells... my 'sisters' have been telling me to go and sleep... ya maybe i should listen for once. Haha. but im used to not sleeping already.. sorry mei mei i may not sleep tonite haha. not listening to u again ya...

oh wells new year's barely started and im so busy. which makes me wonder:
if i have syf this year, will i be able to cope?
plus all those performances that i will have...
plus my jobs...

i'm ready to throw in the towel. realli. give up, face reality, sit down at home, cry, and let everything go. i cant understand why im so hardworking. why i fight so hard for something that may not be worth it... gosh i want to rest... to sleep.. to eat... to pig... and not sprint on the track, running up and down LT 2 staircase, shouting, playing piano, erhu, doing maths, physics, music... wad i want now is to sit at the beach, and enjoy the darkness, and the sound of the waves. ironic rite, now so much talk about the tsunami. But still...
I must go down to the seas again to the lonely sea and sky

i feel the same way as i was when i composed that song: lonely, lost, in need of TLC: tender loving care. gosh how long was it since i last used that phrase?

what's love? again this question comes up... i received an article yesterday (or 2 days ago, Monday) from my chs music teacher. entitled love. 3 pages from a sportsman's diary. it starts,

He kills her, then he kills himself. That proves he loves her.

do u realli think so...

hmm...

how complicated isnt it? how many people have talked about this subject and nothing came up?

okok enuff on the com. better go do maths.

seeya.

Chee Hang's Life Story part 17

Oh wells this is one day overdue... i forgot to post it yesterday night, or rather last year haha. But still...

My Life Part 17.
31 dec 2003 was the day i typed out part 16. its now lost somewhere i guess. but that day i was wondering how 2004 would be and now 2004 is over. hmmm...
jan 2004. first day of school, in a new school. in a totally new environment where i have to adapt again. i was almost sure i wouldn't like it here in RJ, but i stil had to go to school... met some great people in my OG and jaxoras was a blast. alright except for dancing blindly during O nite but still... met some even better people in MEP... still rmb how we had such a big class hahaha. bigger than our senior batch, and we are such an enthusiastic bunch of people. How much effort we put into Lamour (more on this later). i wun forget how on one of those days when we have to arrange the library things, i reached there and everyone said it was done already. wow. and the first few people i met, and the people i'm paired wif for tutorials... hmm...
My class... i have to admit i didnt realli click wif them at first. i actually spent more time alone in the music room than wif them fooling around. but still, my class looked everything like a mugger class then. we had people who spent lunch breaks in the library and such... grr... but still... oh wells.
Chorale... i didnt know what made me go for auditions, and i still don't know. for one, i almost wanted to quit the moment i joined. it was just not for a guy in green shorts previously in nelson's choir. hmm... then i was determined to change for the better, and last out in the choir. but still... wells more on that later.
Piano Ensemble... it was in jan that we proposed for it. eventually turned out well but more on that later too.

Feb 2004. The highlight would have to be L'amour, the v-day concert by the j1 meppies. can still remember singing not in a choir for the first time, A Whole New World and All I Ask Of You, alongside audrey. and then accompanying shaun for Hot Canary. boy was he hot. Haha. then the Beyond the Sea and all those actions which i came out wif. Haha what a joke! And how we all spent that night at Pizza Hut and the 5 of us in chorale cabbed over to chorale chalet.
V-day. Argh had to spend V day at changi wif the chorale. would have preferred to be somewhere else but still.did manage to go out in the afternoon but turned out to be a sad v-day for me this time. :'(

March 2004. MEP: the duets thingee. had fun playing duets, not my first time though. but i found out that i had a plus point is that i can play wif almost anyone. thats good in more ways than one. im versatile!
the O levels results came out. I already started to hate school that i made an agreement: if i didnt get 6 points i won't stay in school any longer. gosh and how things turn out la. my 6A1s gave me 6 points exactly. grr... was sort of hoping i got a 7 then had the perfect excuse to drop out of shcool. but i had to stay. not my happiest decision though. not that the people there are not good. esp the meppies they are fantastic and wonderful. but im hating school already. oh wells that's march.

April 2004. Piano Ensemble started! and i was sort of dissapointed to see quite a passive group but still... i understand we are a new group. hoping that we wld last through the year (and we did!)
Council Elections. for me, there were 2 reasons i wanted to join council. one was becus of orientation. 2 was because if i got in it wld have been the purrfect excuse to quit chorale. oh how i remember LEAF... Leader Encourager Achiever Friend. the 4 of us, Xuanzhong, Wang Yue, Me and Candice (from oldest to youngest: 19, 18, 17, 16 hahaha). ahh i rmb the late nights we spent, the big banner we had, the colourful posters, the taxi rides, pizza hut again, shopping for materials, campaign speech... all those wonderful things. but the amount of effort i put into it didnt pay off. we didnt get voted in and i was very very disappointed.
Chorale. i told the teacher i/c that i wanted to leave. she asked me to last out until VE. oh boy. alright, then i decided i wld contribute something to the only production i wld hav wif the choir. i wanted to help design the poster. but in the end my designs were rejected. oh alright...
chamber playing was fun.
so was Erhu.

May 2004. VE. yupz got a flower that night haha. from lau wen jin. oh wells had an okay time that night and im going to remember it. but that was my last night in chorale.
440. piano ensemble concert. it was so well attended! gosh wad magic. and it went good. wait more than good. Haha. and the prepared piano was fun fun and more fun.

June 2004. MEP UK trip. quite a roller coaster trip for me. was the one time in the year i spent wif the people i liked most, and i learnt a lot. definitely. both academically, and non academically. it was also a week of reflections, to look carefully at my actions and think what happened, and what else could have happened, but was too late to. sheez. although the highlight of the year but it wasnt that a happy ending. still it was memorable. to quote my log book:
Some things that I remember most:
1) I can’t forget Florent Boffard, the pianist in the Wigmore Hall concert. His playing was so crisp and clean and yummy. Something that I aspire to…
2) The piano duo masterclass was so interesting… the two of them were literally jumping around and dancing to the music. Made the whole masterclass very lively and interesting. Now that’s what I call a perfect masterclass. J
3) Tate gallery visit… Looking at all those pictures really hit me hard. I’ve never been into any art exhibition before so this was a first. And I was pretty amazed by everything inside there. Had quite a few inspirations as well…
4) Wen Jin practising in the hotel room…
5) The Pathetique quartet practising outside the hotel in London and in my room in Birmingham…
6) And of course, Cadbury World.

CCAL camp. fun. learnt a lot, and found out im passive. oh wells. i was active. a lot has changed since i returned from UK. but had a blast spending all those time together wif all other CCALS. wad i remember most would be during the war game at night, how me and shaun were both too scared to come near each other to attack the candels, and stood like how far away trying to blow at them Haha.
Noteworthy. felt super out of place wif everyone there a string player. but playing the milhaud trio... unofficially named us the CNC trio? Candice, Noven, Chee Hang. Haha. would be one group of people i feel very attached to, no matter how far apart we have drifted now.

July 2004. common Tests. had grades ABCD. to others thats good. to me oh wells it doesnt reali matter. grades are superficial to me. people are more important. July was quite a simple affair for me. people were all so busy preparing for outside exams, me included.

August 2004. My LRSM exam. was so scared about it only AFTER the exam. look wat kind of person i am? haha.
Chinese Opera project: was fun doing till late all those nights... doing on canton opera wif a group wif only 1 canton speaker (Grace), 1 who can understand but not speak(Me), and two others who cant understand at all (Wendy and ToonLi). Haha. but was great. i mean, looking at our scores. we were definitely learning, and also finding out how some people realli hate research and went for 2nd instrument.
Also helping others preparng for dip exams. Haha how to psycho urself.

September 2004. With so many accompaniments: Prelims in 2 schools!!! and not to mention my own exams. wow those were the days. how people commented that i took another way home now, taking 165 instead of MRT or 156. haha.

October 2004. Promos. i wasnt worried about that at all. but maybe im like that, who don't worry. as i said, exams are superficial. ive got 3As and 1 B in the end.
Badminton games. Haha. wad can i say. of yes i joined Rec Bad too!
CIP wif Sinda. haha first time i found out im good wif kids. Yay
Ohana. oh had fun. climbing up ladders to put up posters, and going out shopping for materials. wow how enthu the meppies were. we had everything done so quickly! and the board was superb! kudos to the board group!
Accompaniments. wow one week, 3 accompanimentts. 2 A levels, 1 o level. gosh i think the chief examiner wld have seen enough of me!!! wow if i charged those soloists i would have been rich hahaha.
Vocale finally started!!!

November 2004.
PW OP. yay got it through.
found back some old friends long lost.
CIP at AWWA!!! wow my 2nd time wif kids! it wld be one organisation that i committed most to in this hols.
Piano Ensem CIP at Hendersons. erm they got me ill. but still the kids liked me. oh well im a kid magnet. they all love me.!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!

This is my first post here, and I want to take a look at the past briefly. (i'll talk more another day) reflections. that's what brings about changes.

this past year, there have been ups and downs. sad to say for me, the things that go up don't realli matter to me. the things that go down do. i found i havent grown up yet, and in more ways than one still a kid.

I have tread on others' tails and pushed others up on my way this past year. I have offended others, and gave others hope. I have been around when others are happy, and when others are sad. I have been around, helping out wherever, and whenever i can. this is what i do best, and happiest.

Changes...
I hate changes. But sometimes things have to change. for better or worst i do not know,but i will perservere on whatever things happen.

Reflections upon the keyboard.
that's the title of my blog. reflections bring about changes, and that's where improvements come about too. i want to improve, to grow and to forever aspire to achieve new heights.
keyboard... both the piano one and the computer one. it is on this keyboard that i type out my reflections, and it is on the other one that i show others what i feel through the music that i make.

on this mark, I wish everyone a Happy New Year. Its exactly 0000h, 1/1/2005 now.
though people in Australia are already 7 hours into 2005, and people in US are 12 hours away from it. Haha.

its 2005. Hope its a good year for me.

=o)
