AFter not cycling for like one week, im super shag after cycling up that hill... but i saw an improvement yay i could cycle up the whole hill already, but then *pants* can die lorh. haha but nvm at least im keeping fit. its another 3 weeks before i can cycle to camp again haha...

oh yar. my name is synthe. its pronounced syn-ti. heh. just because i play the synthesizer and MAJ tay just keep calling "synthe 这边奏下去, synthe 这边不要弹.." and so on and so forth so i hereby conclude that he remembers my namd as synthe. haha i now prefer "See" like what my PC and all those peopel in Leopard calls me. heh. although yar he still calls me "See" once in a while but most of the time is "synthe 这边你给我一点bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom" hahaha

Opera. bleahx. cant wait for it to be over man. it seriously reminds me of the opera project that was done 2 years ago haha 'fond' memories eh.

yay am going to get new 二胡s soon. see the s. haha 2 more. whoa just for the gr 9 exam im going to be bringing 3 二胡s into the exam room mann... and i found out whoa luckily i got piano background then all those finger exercises (like wEIrd fingering like 13243124, 14243241) comes easier. yay thank you czerny. bleahx. and i better start practising my piano cos received letter from Trinity to audition for their high scorers concert (and i received 2 letters cos i took 2 diploma exams last year -- LTCL Acc (dist!!!) and FTCL) but in any case still must go ask for permission to take part. cos i NSF mah. cannot anyhow do things one. but i would like to go for the audition and see how if i can get into the concert itself. i suppose there will be talent spotters there. anyway its in august and audition's in june i suppose thats enough time to learn up a new piece? but truthfully i dunno what kind of pieces i can play lor they ask me to choose from exam repertoire BUT FTCL where got repertoire? haha... nvm 1: ask for permission 2: tell my teacher 3: call up trinity to ask what do i play hehheh...

ok. enough for now. am going to arrange da chang jin later yay haha

am needing my creative juices right about...

...-now-

Haha.. to squeeze something out of my already retarded brain is going to be challenging... and its not just something. its some-thing-. (okay that doesnt mean anything but i meant it to be something unusual..)

and my horoscope actually told me to 'channel your philosophical inspirations into some creative writing'. hmm what philosophical inspiration?

yay good friday coming soon =))

was back in school today, and also on msn, see so many J2s putting up their CT scores... eh people what have u been doing in school? haiyoh. but dunno leh, the people with good grades never dare to say/put up their grades, and the not very good ones will always 'boast' that they have 3 Es, or 4 Fs, or wad OBOE or COFFEE or COCO all that crap larh... aiyoh people, bad grades so? are u trying to show off ur bad grades to gain people's acceptance, like getting good grades is a sin? i think i have posted about this last year before, and true, it seems u get more acceptance when u have less than wonderful grades... which i think is a flaw in the environment. wierd right? does this encourage people to do worse?

sometimes i do wonder if i wasnt in a mugger class like mine, how would i have performed? better, only to get sconed at, or worse, to be 'accepted'? or if my grades were worse, would my class have laughed or kicked me aside? or if my grades were better, what would my classmates think?

okay, im not in school anymore. but then out here in army, i see RJ or VJ or those top 5 jc people, when people ask what school they from, they say, then they add 'aiyar i stupid one larh'. it seems like a standard answer. i do not shy away from the fact that i do that sometimes too, only i nv say i stupid one, i say i go rj only for music. which in a way is true. or else who in the right mind would spend 3 hours on the road each day just to go to school haha... if HC had music i wld probably have gone there. oh wells. the stereotyping and all that s--- that comes being above average... it is unsettling sometimes to be like this...

to my senior who commented on my last blog...

yar i agree wif u. as a musician, yes i agree. but note, as a musician. true, singapore in gearing towards an arts society. and i agree that this is one way u keep ur talents in.. what rings in my mind is also the melvyn tan case, so yarh, why not just keep mdc here so that some people (esp the non combat fit ones) can look forward to army?

but at the back of my mind, im still skeptical. funny, how i really didnt want to be doing combat stuff, yet trying to push away my lifeline ah?

by the way, senior, who are you?

654

takes a genius to guess what that number means haha...

vetting was, well, fun. i realise that i still dun go well wif technology, what wif sequencers and keybaords that dun react, and wierd configurations YUCKS. give me a month and i shall like them. i hope. haha. or else i'll die mann...

but come to think of it, it was during the vetting day that i realised that MDC exists, actually, without much reason, as in reason in an army. fine, it does save money for SAF, by using MDC instead of private musicians for their functions, and also may earn money for SAF... But apart from that, it actually is there for slackers like me who dun want regimental training.. and with our friends carrying rifles and marching in the sun, there exists me who complains the keyboard is heavy (it actually is okay..) while taking an air con bus, not even a tonner. it does seem unfair to the rest of the guys out there. granted, we're non-combat fit, or most of us arent. but what about the clerks who stay in tekong? for the improvement of our skills as musicians? performers? what about "fight for our land", "children having fun while we are holding guns"? im really pondering about why and what MDC exists for... although yes its a privilege to be there, not to be under the sun. but. still...

haha seems like i like to criticise things that are good to me.. wierd ah? this only represents the views of me so yar... dun ask the rest of the mdc people what they think...

ok 654 is the no. of days to ORD. haha. sad ah. to be counting down from now...

Yay

Yay.. have 3 shows (okay one of them is a vetting) this week so means i cannot wash my formal uniform (ie white, black, bowtie and coat) for the whole week cos of shows and rehearsals bleahx i dun understand the reason for making us wear that stupid coat and uniform for rehearsals its not like we need to get used to playing in a blazer cos hello we are not amatuers here we all played in blazers before and then the studio doesnt need to bother with lighting at all so what was all that reason about lighting people need to see your uniform so they can pick a better lighting for the actual vetting day when the lights just consist of on and off so it is simply -stupid- to wear the white shirt and black pants and all that tomorrow for the whole day in camp when ive worn it the whole day today because of show (making me only get back home at 10.30pm) and sweating in it now i have to stink for the vetting on wednesday and also the show for some IO Dinner on friday night ergh and im not getting any off days this week this is SO tiring hahaha but at least we get to keep our off days and use it to pay back the 2 and a half days of off we took when we first stepped into MDC for the chalet which i ended up not going and ended up going out to play hahaha and yay good news MAJ Tay said that if i want to do accompaniment i will just apply for it case by case basis as long as it doesnt clash with anything major (no pun intended) in the schedule i should be given time off to do accompaniment and MAJ Tay will not be caring so much about when i do it but i think i forgot to ask him what if my accompaniment is during office hours do i get off to do it so i guess i'll just open myself up for accompaniments again and then if people ask for office hours i'll have to ask MAJ Tay again (go right to the top so theres no question about decisions) only thing is that be prepared for a little less than usual practice time with me and also the possibility of me saying no i cant do that accompaniment cos this time i am employed by SAF which means that i cannot do outside jobs actually and so also at the same time SHHHHH dun tell anyone im t******g hahaha okay can tell just +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ okay im super tired and this is a super long sentence i think im going mad because i had a super long day and i played violin and viola just now haha cos someone took over my keyboard and guess what my keyboard is so so so so so so heavy and we had to carry it ourselves from mdc up the bus which is so hard to load the stuff ergh and still got the sequencers and amps and stands and scores and instruments gosh my muscles are aching and this is going to happen for every single show that we do argh i should go get an excuse heavy load status or something like that MUAHAHAHA so people carry me and i dun need to carry anyone YAY but it was super fun jamming during the show just now playing just ------- SHHH dun tell the #### people or they will just ^^^^^^^ %%% if they knew we were playing ------- cos we are supposed to be @@@ by i suppose since they clapped they did like us and my ????? solo haha so fun to lead the string ensemble when playing ///// ////// yay experience ya and this totally rocks and so i shall end this long sentence soon and go to sleep.
