type='text'>Having a tiff...</title><content type='html'>It's been a long time since I last posted and no one will seem to know if my blog is still active...&lt;br /&gt;This is the only place where I can reveal my true feelings...&lt;br /&gt;Facebook can no longer be trusted when your parents are involved, and in your way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm just tired and having the kind of attitude is just normal...&lt;br /&gt;Mum, I seriously think that you're just too sensitive and took my words too seriously...&lt;br /&gt;I didn't plan for this Lose-to-Win, Dad wants me to join it...&lt;br /&gt;I didn't take it as priority....&lt;br /&gt;And it slipped my mind that I have to print the consent form for you to sign...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I really hate it when you always repeat those words like "I'm tired enough" or "I don't want to bother you anymore".&lt;br /&gt;Do you know how hurting it is?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this house, I always feel that I don't get the final say...&lt;br /&gt;I'm a growing adult...&lt;br /&gt;It's just normal for me to speak in an attitude....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some more, my way of doing things at home is so much different than at work...&lt;br /&gt;At work, I have prepare my stuffs in advance so as not to get scoldings from my boss...&lt;br /&gt;I got so much praises...&lt;br /&gt;This is the part which I really felt that you don't know me enough....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to offend you, you make me looked like I've offended you...&lt;br /&gt;You are my mother, I don't want to hurt you...&lt;br /&gt;Why am I afraid of you?&lt;br /&gt;Because anything we said, once it stepped on your tail, you'll just explode...&lt;br /&gt;Even if it is harmless...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don't want to say

me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another thing would be the upcoming university registration that will most probably be held in February 2012....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This year, I registered just BA in Linguistics and Multilingual Studies from NTU...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I failed for both registration and appeal...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next year, I've made up my mind by registering for BA in Linguistics and Multilingual Studies again, along with BA in English Literature and BA in Chinese.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If it still fails after I ORD, I will go for BA in Translation &amp;amp; Interpretation from UniSIM...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In my life, there hasn't been anything that went smoothly with what I really wanted...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since the choosing of secondary till today, it all doesn't go well...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After PSLE, I wanted to get into Chung Cheng High School which was in Sembawang then and later shifted back to Yishun...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I thought that I was lucky I didn't get in as transportation will be a problem for me....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Eventually, I didn't regret for getting into Canberra Secondary...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Later, I didn't really do fairly well in my 'O' Levels, trying my luck, to register for Psychology in NP...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After which, I got into a course which I didn't expect and an area which I was, and still am weak in - IT... Worse still, IT Engineering....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I didn't really regret as I met great friends, despite average GPA, which wasn't that good for me, of course....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, I really wish I can break this chain, I really wanted what I want to do and to be. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;May God bless me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/954049347884538499-5415669793292218752?l=jcscband.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/feeds/5415669793292218752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=954049347884538499&amp;postID=5415669793292218752' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/5415669793292218752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/5415669793292218752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/2011/10/pop-loh.html' title='POP LOH!!!!'/><author><name>jcscband</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696449093210449551</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7pR6MSx8Tps/SKgVFZqzxtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jyHr5td4RGU/S220/Lying+on+my+baritone+saxophone.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954049347884538499.post-8090096447173930139</id><published>2011-07-14T06:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-14T06:37:57.488-07:00</updated><title type='text'>NS-Men going-to-be!!!!</title><content type='html'>Hi Everyone!!!!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I really wanted to blog for so long already but couldn't make the time...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, it's going to be NS SSSOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To be really honest, I'm still not mentally or physically prepared yet...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can say, I'm still panic-stricken...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don't know about my friends who had already went in before me...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Really wish them the best of luck...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And I need those luck too!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many might be thinking, where was I after my last post?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Working, working and more working....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People think that I'm really giving myself so much stress, it's like I'm not giving myself a break....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Actually, I'm not really that tired...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm not really giving myself stress, my pocket does...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After February, I've been looking for jobs desperately for a couple of weeks...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I managed to approach this Job Agency which provides mostly government jobs...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was being posted to Chong Pang Community Club (Yishun) for 2.5 months...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After which, I rested for a few days and was posted to Yuhua Community Club (Chinese Garden)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then followed by Henderson Community Club (Tiong Bahru).....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sounds interesting, right?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From the North, to the West and to the South...

type='text'>New Year Post...</title><content type='html'>It's been a few months...&lt;div&gt;There were a lot of times which I really wanted to blog but sometimes it's just pure laziness....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;At times, when I was really helpless, I really wanted to blog but there's no way I could....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Had a few quarrels here and there and I really wanted to sound them out...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rondeau had just ended...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How I really wish this 'thing' hadn't come...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Feel so helpless when this 'thing' comes back and so many things that I've missed...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's not enough in Facebook....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I felt apologetic....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I felt useless...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I felt helpless....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I felt laziness....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I felt..................&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In NSS, can tell that many are 'against' me, ever since that presentation....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm really scared right now...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scared that I will not be able to pass this test....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scared that I'll never be able to be determine enough to pull off....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's my character problem again...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because of me, I argued with my family...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because of me, I had turned even more lazy than ever....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Because of me, I had let my own body down....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People always say, "You are born with a purpose."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Till today, I have always been thinking...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What is the purpose of my living?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Having a stubborn, strict, lazy, being proud of nothing and a timid character....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Always acting tough in front of my juniors, but in the end, I'm just a loser...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Every time, when I'm always having a gathering with my friends, they seemed to be having their own topic which I felt that I've been left out....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There's a lot of things which I have wished but it just won't turned out....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know I'm fat....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Always giving myself excuse for not going for exercise....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had always wanted to slim down...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;No motivation, always been giving 'excuses'....that's what they always say....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Every year, I had always being afraid of buying new clothes for Chinese New Year....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Having afraid that nothing will suit me....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm not like my sister....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;She's born pretty, nice looking face and body....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sometimes, I would feel unfairness in my heart....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;She got all the things she wanted, she got things that I wanted....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I felt jealous....of her at times.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I even had a young uncle....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I really, really jealous of him.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Chinese New Year 3 years ago, was my first encounter with him....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wanted to know him more....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bad habits always appeared when comes to meeting nice-looking people....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I WILL get jealous....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Supposedly, these people, these jealousness should be a trigger for me, to motivate me to exercise, to motivate me to slim down...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I just couldn't make it...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;可以说是我没有用&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我无耻&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我懒惰&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;一切一切都是我自找的&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我活该&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>One more week of work in Bosch...</title><content type='html'>Time shoots like rocket....&lt;br /&gt;This is already mid-October....and another week to school days....&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to miss the work and colleagues...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 weeks ago, I had a lunch with all the NP Interns...&lt;br /&gt;It was really interactive for us and for the others who have just joined Bosch and let them know each other, which department they are in and what kind of work they are currently dealing with...&lt;br /&gt;I'm really glad that I have done something like this and I hope this trend will go on forever...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just last week, I had a lunch, which was organised by me as well...&lt;br /&gt;To me, it's sort of special because the colleagues whom I invited are from Japan...&lt;br /&gt;There are times whereby I was able to communicate in Japanese but somehow I don't know, it will take me quite a while to produce the sentences....&lt;br /&gt;I mean, it doesn't really occur to me when I'm communicating with my Japanese teacher...&lt;br /&gt;I think this is a test for me, having a very first time to be able to have a foreign-cultured lunch with foreign people...&lt;br /&gt;Also, I'm able to learn something about their language from them...&lt;br /&gt;I'm glad I had organised something like that as well as it has always been what I wanted...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just yesterday night, I was invited to my new boss's House Warming...&lt;br /&gt;I was being invited last minute as one of my colleagues recommended it to my new boss, who is from Korea...&lt;br /&gt;Almost all of our Korean colleagues have also been invited to the House Warming and I'm the only Singaporean down there...&lt;br /&gt;I was supposed to have my final choir practice before the Esplanade performance this coming Sunday...&lt;br /&gt;But looking at the time that I'm still able to make it, I accepted the invitation...&lt;br /&gt;Upon reaching there, I was a bit surprised that the drink that was served, was just plainly beer and Korean wine, the Soju...&lt;br /&gt;I was encouraged to try a bit, and I found that it was a taste that was beyond description...&lt;br /&gt;The people there were warm-hearted, I was touched by their hospitality...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I really enjoyed all these gathering and had felt that something has been achieved, I'm really delighted to be attached to Bosch...&lt;br /&gt;Thank you all who have been with me for the past 7 months!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div

sudden? And you're not with your love ones, how would you feel?&lt;br /&gt;If a tsunami ever hit in the island, will we survive?&lt;br /&gt;Somehow I felt that even we as Singaporean, have to consider these questions...&lt;br /&gt;I'm not trying to be a saddist here or what...&lt;br /&gt;But even if you are travelling to another country, things like that would happened unexpectedly...&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure everyone still has the memory of the 2004 Tsunami that hit more than 10 countries and left millions dead and missing...&lt;br /&gt;The reason why I suddenly changed this blog from my personal life into the Weather &amp;amp; Natural Disaster blogging, is that I want to let the people who are still reading my blog, know what is currently happening to our planet Earth...&lt;br /&gt;What affects the world's economy to topple; what draws the attention of the world's scientists and people is always what is changing around us...&lt;br /&gt;Be it the basic weather or the arrival of any natural catastropic event...&lt;br /&gt;If you are thinking that you have a lot of time on Earth, think again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather &amp;amp; Natural Disaster Blogger, Cruyff&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/954049347884538499-8077076365100303169?l=jcscband.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/feeds/8077076365100303169/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=954049347884538499&amp;postID=8077076365100303169' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/8077076365100303169'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/8077076365100303169'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/2010/09/desires.html' title='Desires...'/><author><name>jcscband</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696449093210449551</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7pR6MSx8Tps/SKgVFZqzxtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jyHr5td4RGU/S220/Lying+on+my+baritone+saxophone.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954049347884538499.post-7266634787101110067</id><published>2010-08-20T20:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-20T21:35:32.365-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Latest update of me...</title><content type='html'>Hi to those who are still reading my blog....&lt;br /&gt;Apologies for not having to be able to blog for about 2 months...&lt;br /&gt;A lot of things to say...&lt;br /&gt;A lot of things in mind...&lt;br /&gt;A lot of interests to pursue...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a beginning, let me tell you about my current status...&lt;br /&gt;Right now I'm extending in my attachment place, Robert Bosch...&lt;br /&gt;People had scolded me 'dumb', 'stupid'...etc...&lt;br /&gt;Just because I extended for the same salary (or allowance) as the one I got for my attachment...&lt;br /&gt;There are reasons why I choose this path....&lt;br /&gt;Initially I was supposed to be transferring over to the Logistics Department but I changed the idea... as I really think that I can't cope with the workload there...&lt;br /&gt;I know I won't be able to understand what I'm doing....&lt;br /&gt;I know the salary given are higher...but they are extending me for 5 weeks when my holiday is 11 weeks...how am I going to survive for the other 6 weeks?&lt;br /&gt;Of course I can't...&lt;br /&gt;I will waste a lot of time looking for another job...&lt;br /&gt;So I rather do things/assignments that I'm familiar with...&lt;br /&gt;Take it as a challenge to support 2 departments at the same time...&lt;br /&gt;Getting the same rate...I don't mind....at least I know I got my saving...&lt;br /&gt;I may be stress at times... but I'm contented that I'm working in a division/department that I'm familiar with...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's talk about my future then...&lt;br /&gt;What are my goals?&lt;br /&gt;What are my targets?&lt;br /&gt;What is my next step in life?

I have to rely on other relative's money to buy that dance shoes.... I can't even afford for the costume, nor just the pants...&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly, I'm not confident enough for such "open" competition... Indeed, I felt that given my size and body shaping, I'm not confident enough to be open to the other people... I don't look good, not even average fine in whatever I wear, even if it is just a T-shirt or a Polo T-shirt...&lt;br /&gt;I'm just utterly useless and lazy...&lt;br /&gt;Scold me all you want.... that's me...&lt;br /&gt;Changes for me..... years.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, my old illness has been coming back...&lt;br /&gt;How devastating is that....&lt;br /&gt;Everyday, I have been looking at the amount of dirty blood that oozed out from my body...&lt;br /&gt;No one knows how painful is that... no one can understand what kind of feelings i'm holding onto...&lt;br /&gt;Till this day, even my parents don't know about a secret of me...&lt;br /&gt;Even till me death... I'm not going to share to anyone...&lt;br /&gt;It's just too personal to me...&lt;br /&gt;I know if I'm going to hold a secret, people like my friends would think that I'm a mysterious person, no one is going to come near me...&lt;br /&gt;This would be a worse experience for a person like me who wants to be surrounded by friends...&lt;br /&gt;This secret will never be told, never be shared...&lt;br /&gt;That's all I can say....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright, coming to the weather report...&lt;br /&gt;I have not been doing this for a long, long time....&lt;br /&gt;I have my own prediction sometimes...&lt;br /&gt;Floods in Southern China and Pakistan, of course not forgetting Singapore...&lt;br /&gt;Heatwave in Japan and Northern Europe and Northern America...&lt;br /&gt;These are nothing but a sign of Global Warming...&lt;br /&gt;Some people think is an act of God...&lt;br /&gt;To me, it can be both...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is an Reaction of God to the Act of Mankind"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Factories, cigarettes, burning of "money" to the ancestors...&lt;br /&gt;Many factors have caused this weird weather patterns to appear...&lt;br /&gt;Just some time ago, a typhoon hit Philippines...&lt;br /&gt;Just like week, a sudden weird gusts of strong winds emerge in Malacca, Malaysia...&lt;br /&gt;Blowing tents of night market away, killing 2 people...&lt;br /&gt;These wind are going to attack Singapore anytime...&lt;br /&gt;Right now the temperature is rather cooling, even though with the appearance of the sun...&lt;br /&gt;I really cannot imagine what others will be coming towards us...&lt;br /&gt;May God Bless Us All.&lt;br /&gt;Hope I'll get some time again to blog about myself, see you guys again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather &amp;amp;

The people of Aceh are still traumatised by memories of Dec 26, 2004, when a 9.3-magnitude quake killed at least 168,000 people.&lt;br /&gt;"This quake turned out not to be destructive," said Disaster Management Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono. "There were many people who panicked and fled their homes. They were just so afraid that a tsunami would happen again," he added.&lt;br /&gt;A local tsunami alert was issued by the Indonesian goverment but lifted about 90 minutes later. A quake last year killed more than 1000 people on Sumatra but a 7.7 quake last month in the same area caused only minor damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12th May 2010, Wednesday&lt;br /&gt;An Unusual Sunset&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia's Syndey Harbour was blanketed in a thick haze yesterday as a smoke cloud from controlled fires in the city's west swept across the central business district. Unexpected winds saw the smoke from the burning-off of dense bush land in the blue Mountains, done as part of a fire hazard reduction plan, descend on the city. A change of the wind is expected to see the haze dissipate by today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13th May 2010, Thursday&lt;br /&gt;Fears of Flooding Faze Northern Pakistan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fears are growing that a lake created by a landslide will burst, causing a huge flood in northern Pakistan that could affect over 50,000 people and disrupt a key trade link with China.&lt;br /&gt;A landslide in early January blocked the Hunza River and created the lake. Twenty people were killed and another 25,000 were stranded upstream from the town of Gilgit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13th May 2010, Thursday&lt;br /&gt;Quebec Sinkhole Sucks Up Home, Family of Four&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saint-Jude(Quebec) - Rescue officials have found the bodies of all four members of a family who went missing after their house was swallowed by a gaping sinkhole in a town northeast of Montreal.&lt;br /&gt;The authorities said the family was in their basement cheering on the Montreal Canadiens in their Stanley Cup play-off ice hockey game when the massive landslide hit on the Monday night in Saint-Jude.&lt;br /&gt;"They were found very close to one another, some of them lying on the couch in the family room in the basement," Mr. Michael Dore, Quebec's emergency management coordinator, said on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;The first body found belonged to father Richard Prefontaine. The others were his wife Anais, 9, and Amelie, believed to be 11.&lt;br /&gt;The landslide tore a hole more than 4 times the size of a football field into Saint-jude, a verdent village near Montreal.&lt;br /&gt;Sinkholes can occur when water undermines an area of land or when rock below the land surface shifts. This particular sinkhole ate up three cars, one stretch of a concrete road and most of the house that once sat by a cliff over a tributary of the Yamaska River.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14th May 2010, Friday&lt;br /&gt;Weather Woes Spell Trouble for Mongolia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mineral-rick Mongolia is on the grip of a natural disaster, after its worst winter in 50 years wiped out huge livestock populations vital to the country's herders.&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Rana Flowers, the United Nations' top representative in the landlocked country, said a hot, dry summer last year, followed by fierce cold weather and heavy snow, and a late spring have left much of the population reeling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17th May 2010, Monday&lt;br /&gt;Volcanic Ash Closes Some UK Airports&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civil aviation officials closed airports in northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland yesterday in response to a drifting, dense cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland that is encroaching on British airspace.&lt;br /&gt;The National Air Traffic Service said all airports in Northern Ireland closed from 1pm to 7pm local time yesterday, along with others in northern England, including Manchester and Liverpool.&lt;br /&gt;Britain's Department of Transports warned lsat Saturday that British airspace was likely to face partial closures until tomorrow due to the ash cloud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17th May 2010, Monday&lt;br /&gt;Hailstorms Hit China, killing 7 and Forcing Evacuations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;More deadly weather has hit China, with seven people killed and 98 injuried after a tornado and a hailstorm struck north-eastern heilongjiang province last saturday, said Xinhua.&lt;br /&gt;Thousands were evacuated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather &amp;amp;

April 5. Kazakhstan Today - The UN Secretary General, Ban  Ki-moon, flew over the drying Aral Sea in the helicopter along with the  Prime Minister of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirzieev. The UN Secretary General  called drying of the Aral Sea - one of the most terrible ecological  accidents and has underlined the necessity of collective efforts to  preserve the resources of the planet, the agency reports citing the  press release placed on the United Nations site. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It was shocking," Ban Ki-moon said after landing in Nukus. "It  is one of the most terrible ecological accidents in the world. It  impressed me deeply, very sad that such powerful sea has disappeared,"  he said. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think that it is a collective responsibility of not only the  people of Central Asia, but also the whole world. I have been very  inspired when I have learnt that the government has been undertaking all  measures to struggle against the consequences of this act of nature." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The UN Secretary General expressed satisfaction with the measures  undertaken by the International Aral Sea Salvation Fund, which was  founded at the initiative of five leaders of the Central Asian states,  and promised the help of the United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;13th April 2010, Tuesday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Landslide Derails Train in Italy, 7 Dead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rome - A landslide threw a passenger train off the tracks in mountains near the northern Italian city of Bolzano yesterday, killing at least seven and injuring about 25.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The front passenger car of the regional train was destroyed, its windows shattered.

At the location  of this earthquake, the Australia and India Plates move north-northeast  with respect to the Sunda plate at a velocity of about 60-65 mm/year. On  the basis of the currently available fault mechanism and earthquake  depth, it is likely that this earthquake occurred along the plate  interface.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The subduction zone surrounding the immediate region of this Sumatra  indonesia earthquake last slipped during the Mw 8.6 earthquake of March  2005, and today's Sumatra Indonesia earthquake appears to have occurred  within the rupture zone of that earthquake. Today's earthquake is the  latest in a sequence of large ruptures along the Sunda megathrust,  including two M 7.4 quakes beneath Simeulue 125 km to the north in 2002  and 2008; a M 9.1 earthquake that ruptured to within 125 km north of  this quake in 2004; a M 8.5 375 km to the south in 2007; and a M 7.5 260  km to the south near Padang in 2009.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The USGS initially measured the Sumatra earthquake at 7.8 instead of  7.7 magnitude.  The indonesia earthquake triggered a local tsunami  warning which was canceled two hours later.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;No damage or casualties have been reported in the Sumatra Indonesia  due to the earthquake. But witnesses reported power blackouts in several  parts of Aceh province and on Simeulue Island, west of Aceh.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Sumatra, Indonesia is the largest island in the country. A 9.1  magnitude earthquake struck off Aceh in December, 2004, triggering a  historic tsunami that killed 226,000 people, VOA News reported.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Indonesia is located in the Pacific Ocean's so-called Ring of Fire,  where the continental plates meet.

According to Rio’s  Mayor Eduardo Paes, the rainfall was the heaviest in Rio in such a short  period and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said it was “the  greatest flooding in the history of Rio de Janeiro.” Experts say that a mixture of geographic and structural  factors, including poor drainage, is responsible for the destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Weather &amp;amp; Natural Disaster Blogger, Cruyff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/954049347884538499-3586689358519107729?l=jcscband.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/feeds/3586689358519107729/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=954049347884538499&amp;postID=3586689358519107729' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/3586689358519107729'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/3586689358519107729'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/2010/04/2-new-disasters-coming-up.html' title='2 New Disasters coming up...'/><author><name>jcscband</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696449093210449551</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7pR6MSx8Tps/SKgVFZqzxtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jyHr5td4RGU/S220/Lying+on+my+baritone+saxophone.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954049347884538499.post-1630744767499826767</id><published>2010-04-05T05:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-05T06:10:50.690-07:00</updated><title type='text'>California Earthquake</title><content type='html'>Today, in the midst of my attachment, I went into Google for some information...&lt;br /&gt;Out of curiosity, I went to look up for "Natural Disaster"...&lt;br /&gt;Then, I was so shocked!&lt;br /&gt;California Earthquake, happened at 3.44pm...&lt;br /&gt;3.45pm, it was the time that I was searching in Google for "Natural Disaster"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;San Diego, California &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4"&gt;Earthquake&lt;/span&gt; Update – A 7.2 magnitude  shake &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1"&gt;Baja California&lt;/span&gt; this 3:44  PM today which had brought death and shaking of buildings more than 200  miles away in &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3"&gt;downtown Los Angeles&lt;/span&gt;.

By yesterday, power had been restored to nearly 100,000 homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most powerful storm for more than 15 years followed the driest summer ever recorded in Perth.

Overgrazing, deforestation, urban sprawl and drought have expanded deserts in the country's north and west.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shifting sands have gradually encroached onto population areas and worsened the sandstorms that strike cities, particularly in the spring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winds blowing from the north-west were sweeping sand from the Xinjiang and Ningxia regions, as well as Gansu and Inner Mongolia provinces across China's arid north.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Central Meteorological Station urged people to close doors and windows, and cover their faces with masks or scarves when going outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sensitive electronic and mechanical equipment should be sealed off, the station said in a warning posted yesterday on its website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China Central Television told viewers to clean their noses with salt water and remove grit from their nose ears with cotton swabs dippers in alcohol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sandstorm that engulfed the capital, Beijing, was the second one in three days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skyscapers were shrouded in a greyish mix of sand, dust and pollution. Residents scurried along sidewalks trying to avoid breathing in the fine particles, which can cause chest discomfort and respiratory problems even in healthy people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms. Duan Li, a spokeman for the Beijing Meteorological Station, said conditions in the city seemed more severe because the previous sandstorm last Saturday had deposited grit on rooftops, sidewalks and trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The winds yesterday brought more sand and stirred up what was already there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worst recent sandstorm to hit Beijing was in 2006, when about 300,000 tonnes of sand was dumped on the capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Hope my friends in China are alright.

Residents along the Queensland coast meanwhile have been urged to prepare by stocking up on non-perishable foods, water and medication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Cyclones by their very nature are very unpredictable weather patterns," Queensland state Premier Anna Bligh warned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cyclone Ului - which has already brought strong winds and rough seas to the Queensland coast - was moving slowly but haeding towards the mainland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bureau of Meteorology regional director Robbie Medlin said: "At this stage we are not certain of where the cyclone may impact if it does hit, which makes it virtually important that everyone is prepared for thr possibility of impact."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conditions would worsen as the cyclone - currently at the second highest level of category four - approached, a bureau spokesman said. "It it not a weak system, at this stage it is very severe tropical cyclone and it has brought 90-knot winds close to the centre." The cyclone follows heavy rains and flooding in Queensland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Singapore's Climate Changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sure we all can sense that the climate in Singapore are now starting to face a sudden changes. From the hottest February to a sudden cooling March. Rainfalls has been pouring since morning all the way till night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sudden temperature drop caused the whole country to be in a damp, 'freezing' area. But soon in May/June, or even before that, I'm sure temperature is going to rise drastically again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Particularly this year, weather temperature has been changing drastically that no Singaporean can ever accept it. The February heat has caused over 90 cases of fire, mostly in forests. Now, the raindrop has been heavy on us. I guess this could be a Frontal Rain. Clothes in this weather are hard to get it dry after getting it out from the washing machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For people who are driving, do be careful on the road. With such rain, multiples accidents could occur. For pedestrian, even if you may be wearing shoes with rough soles, but still do be careful of the slippery and the heavy rain, a drop of raindrop can be quite 'heavy'. Rain like this will still be like this for the next few days. Don't forget your umbrella!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If, I'm saying 'If ', the weather temperature hasn't rise in April/May; the temperature is still the same, or even worse, it dropped, I really don't wish for a hailstorms. But possibility of a hailstorms in Singapore is 0.01% or even purely 0%, do not worry.

According to Reuters, the earthquake massively affected the city,  overturning cars and collapsing phone and electrical lines.  A 15-story  building reportedly collapsed as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santiago, the capital of Chile, was about 200 miles from the  earthquake’s epicenter and was also affected substantially.  According  to Reuters, the country’s international airport, located in Santiago,  was closed for 24 hours due to the affects of the quake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chilean President-elect Sebastian Pinera said in a statement that 147  deaths could be attributed to the effects of the earthquake so far.  The  current President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, expects that the number  could rise substantially.  However, one emergency worker told Reuters  that the number of deaths is not likely to radically increase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the damage that the earthquake caused in Chile, it also  caused many pacific nations to post tsunami warnings.  Reuters reported  that Japan, Hawaii and coastal Russia were among those affected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of the copper mines that Chile is well known for were closed due to  the earthquake.  However, no substantial damage to the mining  operations was reported by any of mining companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama contacted Bachelet shortly after the earthquake hit,  offering aid and supplies to the affected nation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Earthquake in Ryushu, Japan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_magnitude_scale" class="extiw" title="w:Moment magnitude scale"&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/a&gt; struck the Ryushu Island&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryukyu_Islands" class="extiw" title="w:Ryukyu Islands"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, off the coast of Japan on Friday morning at 5:31am (20:31 UTC). A tsunami warning had been put in place. The  precaution was cancelled later. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no "destructive threat" from  the tsunami. At its center, the depth of the earthquake had been  measured at ten kilometers (6.2 miles).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At 5:57am local time (20:57 UTC), the Japan Meteorological Agency recorded a ten centimetre (four inch) tsunami Nanjou, Okinawa. Initially the agency had  predicted that the depth of the tsunami would be three feet (one metre).  There were no reports of damage, although, according to the Agency,  "there may be slight sea level changes from now on."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The islands were advised to evacuate from the seashore were Okinawa Islands, Amami Islands and Tokara Islands. Ivan Brackin, a resident of Yoron Islands, described his experience of the  earthquake. "I woke up to violent shudders that lasted about six  seconds then a pause followed by a couple of sharp jumps," he stated.  "Jumpers are the most dangerous so that sent me under the desk."&lt;/p&gt;*************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haiti earthquake had already brought lots of damages...&lt;br /&gt;Yet within 2 months, comes another one...&lt;br /&gt;I was watching the news last night and I was totally surprised by this whole disaster...&lt;br /&gt;There's even tsunamis' appearances in several countries...&lt;br /&gt;Still that phrase: "We're very fortunate."&lt;br /&gt;Just hope that day won't come...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather &amp;amp; Natural Disaster Blogger, Cruyff&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/954049347884538499-8261759639724356093?l=jcscband.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/feeds/8261759639724356093/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=954049347884538499&amp;postID=8261759639724356093' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/8261759639724356093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/8261759639724356093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/2010/02/recent-earthquakes-in-chile-and-japan.html' title='Recent Earthquakes in Chile and Japan...'/><author><name>jcscband</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696449093210449551</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7pR6MSx8Tps/SKgVFZqzxtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jyHr5td4RGU/S220/Lying+on+my+baritone+saxophone.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954049347884538499.post-8003901375362489483</id><published>2010-02-26T08:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-26T08:13:40.731-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Driest February Ever Recorded to Date...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Just got this information a while ago...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SINGAPORE : This month could turn out to be the driest February ever  recorded in Singapore — if current conditions continue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  National Environment Agency (NEA) said that only 5.3mm of rainfall has  been recorded so far, compared to 18.7mm in the same period last year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NEA  said February is traditionally one of the driest month in the year. And  this year, the El Nino effect is making it worst.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;National water  agency PUB said the dry spell is also causing record water consumption.  Some 590 Olympic—sized pools of water are being consumed daily on  average, about 7 per cent more than last February.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PUB is advising  households to practise good water—saving habits, such as taking shorter  showers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dry spell has also seen an increase in the outbreak  of grass, lallang and vegetation fires.&lt;/p&gt;The Singapore Civil  Defence Force said it has responded to 92 cases so far this month alone.  It is appealing to the public to help minimise such fire occurrences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;************************************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, just had a Mahjong session with Mei Chen, Subrina &amp;amp; Zheng Bang...&lt;br /&gt;It was really fun...&lt;br /&gt;That was the very first time I've taught my friends how to play Taiwan Mahjong which was rather a tricky one...&lt;br /&gt;I've just got myself to learn not long ago so there are lots of rules that I'm still not familiar with yet...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow we wanted to plan a class dinner on the coming Monday night...&lt;br /&gt;Seoul Garden at Takashimaya...&lt;br /&gt;Before the girls, Irfan &amp;amp; Jian Long leave for China, I think it's best to have a so-called 'Final Reunion'...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I've been attached to Borsh at Bishan as my attachment this coming Mid-March...&lt;br /&gt;Got a briefing on the 9th March...&lt;br /&gt;Till now, I have not been researching much about the company so I can say I'm rather nervous and excited about it?&lt;br /&gt;Maybe...&lt;br /&gt;Hope things work out well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Weather Blogger, Cruyff&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/954049347884538499-8003901375362489483?l=jcscband.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/feeds/8003901375362489483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=954049347884538499&amp;postID=8003901375362489483' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/8003901375362489483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/8003901375362489483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/2010/02/driest-february-ever-recorded-to-date.html' title='Driest February Ever Recorded to Date...'/><author><name>jcscband</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696449093210449551</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7pR6MSx8Tps/SKgVFZqzxtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jyHr5td4RGU/S220/Lying+on+my+baritone+saxophone.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954049347884538499.post-8364318126203870781</id><published>2010-02-24T05:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-24T05:19:09.234-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Exams over...</title><content type='html'>Phew...&lt;br /&gt;Now exams are over...&lt;br /&gt;Sure is relaxing now...&lt;br /&gt;Just got another information concerning UK's current weather...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every so often the usually mild and predictable climate in the UK is  interrupted by a dose of atypically severe weather...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;This winter could well prove to be the coldest since 1978...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Meteorologists have calculated that the provisional average temperature in England  was just 2.4C - and that excludes the rest of the UK, including  Scotland where the mercury fell below minus 20 degrees...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;January  has already been classed the eighth coldest on record for the UK and the  worst since 1978...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Britain is still a largely temperate  country, occasionally it is hit by bursts of dramatic conditions such as  this year's cold snap.

was on the verge on dropping it...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, something just pulled me back...&lt;br /&gt;Telling me that I should continue...&lt;br /&gt;There has been many advices roaming through my ears and my mind...&lt;br /&gt;What are my current goals now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll continue my poly life in this diploma...&lt;br /&gt;Firstly, I'll have to give up on my current interest temporary...&lt;br /&gt;With whatever results I'll be getting...&lt;br /&gt;I'll still try to apply for the University course that I desired for...&lt;br /&gt;All the applications will be done before my NS starts...&lt;br /&gt;Hope that a vacancy will be reserved...&lt;br /&gt;And now here's a problem...&lt;br /&gt;To continue with English or Chinese?&lt;br /&gt;Japanese will have to continue...&lt;br /&gt;It's the main language which I'm concerning now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it's true that I do have lots of interests...&lt;br /&gt;Music, Vocal, Dance, Feng Shui, Geology, Languages...&lt;br /&gt;My interests are very broad...&lt;br /&gt;But somehow one of them will have to be my future career...&lt;br /&gt;Well, obviously is languages...&lt;br /&gt;Remember one of my post saying that one of my considerations of going to teach on Waseda Shibuya High School?&lt;br /&gt;I maybe trying to move towards that line and see...&lt;br /&gt;I am very concern about the future...&lt;br /&gt;Very future that I'm thinking...&lt;br /&gt;Always stops at 2012...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, always in my mind, this prediction might going to be true and I'm just afraid of this world's future...&lt;br /&gt;It just so scary to keep thinking about it and afraid that it will ruin all our lives...&lt;br /&gt;I just couldn't imagine how the future will be...&lt;br /&gt;I am really, really hoping that this prediction is not going to be true and we can all live in peace...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Weather Blogger, Cruyff&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

href="http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978003624"&gt;Orange County area&lt;/a&gt; of California with wind gusts of up to 90 miles an hour.  There were also reports of &lt;strong style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Long Beach flooding&lt;/strong&gt; due to the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms which pounded the area.  Residents of the area have been keeping informed with any possible &lt;strong style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Tornado warnings in Long Beach&lt;/strong&gt; area or news of inclement weather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of 2:30 PM PST on Tuesday, there were several advisories in effect for the Los Angeles County Coast including Downtown Los Angeles.  These included a Coastal Flood Advisory in effect until 6 PM PST tonight, a high surf advisory in effect until 11 am PST Friday as well as a Coastal Flood Watch in effect from 6 PM PST this evening through late Wednesday night.  Residents should check with their local news and radio stations for the most up to date information on the weather situation.  NOAA Weather Radio or the website weather.Gov/losangeles are two excellent sources of current information on the weather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current weather report for Long Beach area shows cloudy weather with win gusts up to 27 miles per hour, but for the next several days the forecast includes a strong chance for more rain and thunderstorms.  It's been reported that Wednesday's brand new storm system could bring even worse weather to parts of Southern California.  Friday only has a 60% chance for rain, while Saturday appears to be the break from all this nasty weather as it will return to partly cloudy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Weather Blogger, Cruyff&lt;div

I was kind of surprised that when the rain came in the evening...&lt;br /&gt;There are still white clouds being visible in the sky...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the past few days, it has been kind of windy...&lt;br /&gt;Then now, it finally rain...&lt;br /&gt;Coming closer to Spring, the weather won't be that as good as before...&lt;br /&gt;Actually frankly speaking, I like windy weather rather than any other weather...&lt;br /&gt;In my room now, although the fan is not directly facing me but I can feel wind all around me and the funny thing is that my windows are closed...&lt;br /&gt;The lame thing is, the door is open...haha...&lt;br /&gt;But I like that feeling, you know...&lt;br /&gt;Like you've been surround by wind...&lt;br /&gt;Which makes yourself very cooling...&lt;br /&gt;It's just feel great...&lt;br /&gt;You don't even need a fan...&lt;br /&gt;My guess for the next few days' weather could be rather rainy as well...&lt;br /&gt;It's just my guess, I don't predict, okay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just did a slight research on the current weather in China...&lt;br /&gt;Temperature are dropping at highest -25 Degree Celsius while the lowest at -36 Degree Celsius...&lt;br /&gt;There could also be possibilities that weather over there might drop to -42 Degree Celsius...&lt;br /&gt;That's extremely cold...&lt;br /&gt;I mean, you might just got yourself froven to death the moment you step out of your doorstep...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas in Australia, weather over there is extremely hot...&lt;br /&gt;But it seems that due to greenhouse effect, the blizzard from the North is travelling over to the South...&lt;br /&gt;So it should take about 3 months to get Australia to cool down...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far in the Asian countries, weather has been average...&lt;br /&gt;Just like us...&lt;br /&gt;Cherish the current cooling weather now as we can...&lt;br /&gt;It might get hotter, it might get colder, who knows?&lt;br /&gt;I'll

type='text'>Weather all around the world....</title><content type='html'>Weather has been really bad these few weeks...&lt;br /&gt;Snowing heavily in the North...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow in Singapore, is still scorching hot as ever...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes windy...&lt;br /&gt;News reported that rain is to be expected for the next few days but somehow that wasn't so accurate...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know why, I've been observing the weather...&lt;br /&gt;Even when I was at Marina Barrage with my band members yesterday having a picnic...&lt;br /&gt;I was totally amazed by the power of wind...&lt;br /&gt;I mean, I don't really get that experience of such strong gust of wind in my life before...&lt;br /&gt;I encountered bad rainy storm and the heat from the scorchy sun...&lt;br /&gt;It's just amazing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the movie from "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012'...&lt;br /&gt;It's not just about the weather, but also the disasters that it brought along with...&lt;br /&gt;Which makes the whole movie look so interesting...&lt;br /&gt;I will never forget those scenes where Natural Disasters started to take place...&lt;br /&gt;I mean, I'm not a bad egg who likes to see places being destroyed, or seeing people being killed under these circumstances...&lt;br /&gt;I'm just being interested of how these things were being formed and how technologies are able to detect them...&lt;br /&gt;All these just purely 'polluted' by mind in the way that it will pull me to learn more about them...&lt;br /&gt;Actually, these interests doesn't just come recently..&lt;br /&gt;It came when I was in my secondary school years...&lt;br /&gt;I started watching "Perfect Disasters" and "Extreme Disasters" from Discovery Channel...&lt;br /&gt;I was totally amazed by then...&lt;br /&gt;It gave extra knowledge about how these disasters were formed...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was somehow regretted that I didn't choose Geography instead of History for my Combined Humanities...&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to learn Geography on my own now...&lt;br /&gt;Though I may hate certain chapters but loving part of it is equal to loving the entire thing...&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the time now is 7.45pm sharp...&lt;br /&gt;The weather now is really, really windy here...&lt;br /&gt;The cold wind always give people a feeling that it will rain but it didn't...&lt;br /&gt;In addition, the sky is getting darker as time goes by...&lt;br /&gt;It's pinch dark now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got a couple of Japanese tests tomorrow...&lt;br /&gt;And rehearsing for my MC script for a Japanese Speech Contest taking place in my school this saturday...&lt;br /&gt;Time flies...&lt;br /&gt;Alright, I think in the future I'll be putting lots of my own personal "Weather Report"...&lt;br /&gt;Lots of things to rush so I will be very busy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

band...&lt;br /&gt;I just feel so sad that my parents are 'requesting' me to quit this band...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I really don't want to end my poly life this way...&lt;br /&gt;It won't give me a sense of satisfaction, even if I score if a scholarship (which won't happen)...&lt;br /&gt;Everyone knows that I have a hard time struggling with this course as I don't have that interest...&lt;br /&gt;How can I possibly be getting a scholarship with a course that I've been struggling for almost 2 years?&lt;br /&gt;Right now, I'm really getting worried for my attachment...&lt;br /&gt;Till now, there's still no call from any places...&lt;br /&gt;Even if I've got, I don't know how I am going to tackle those interview questions...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to band...&lt;br /&gt;I seriously going to miss the band...&lt;br /&gt;My dream was to complete all my concerts with this band...&lt;br /&gt;I have been enjoying myself throughout this whole period of practicing...&lt;br /&gt;All the friendship I've made in this band...&lt;br /&gt;It's just inseparable...&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how to tell my parents that how I really wanted to stay longer in this band...&lt;br /&gt;But for sure, they will 'counter-attack' me back with families, money etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just on the day after concert, I've shared my problems with my fellow committee members...&lt;br /&gt;They understood and sympathized my situation...&lt;br /&gt;I want to continue in the committee...&lt;br /&gt;Whatever I have and want to experience do leave me lots of memories...&lt;br /&gt;How nostalgic...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, after NS, (If I'm able to get into University) I've decided to look for a course which got to do with Geology Studies...&lt;br /&gt;Or even language studies...&lt;br /&gt;But my interests suddenly heightens at Geology Studies...&lt;br /&gt;I want to learn more about Natural Disasters...&lt;br /&gt;It just triggered my excitement, which I don't know why, it just interest me just like that...&lt;br /&gt;Very tired now, going to work tomorrow...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='text'>To Edward and my new QMs...</title><content type='html'>This post is for my (Assistant) QM, Edward...&lt;br /&gt;A word for you, sorry...&lt;br /&gt;We have been working for coming a year in Main Committee as Quarters Masters already...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I've lots of gratitude yet lots of apologies for you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have been helping me out a lot in terms of accessories stocks and instruments repairing...&lt;br /&gt;Initially, I told Tony that I needed you as Quarter Masters because I know you have experience in Quarter Masters before...&lt;br /&gt;You have lots of knowledge about instruments while I know nuts about it...&lt;br /&gt;Remembering the time when Faith met the whole Main Committee because of purchasing new instruments...&lt;br /&gt;I was really afraid to chair the meeting as I know nothing...&lt;br /&gt;Only when you arrived, then I felt relieved...&lt;br /&gt;Just that, I felt that I was really unless at that time...&lt;br /&gt;There are so many stuffs which I still have to rely on you...&lt;br /&gt;I really felt ashame of myself...&lt;br /&gt;It's really, really a disgrace of myself as a QM who knows nothing...&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, you do all the travelling to Windworks and other suppliers...&lt;br /&gt;I'm like doing nothing at all...&lt;br /&gt;I'm really sorry for all these...&lt;br /&gt;I'll treat you one fine day de!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now comes to my new QMs...&lt;br /&gt;During the Mid-January will the band's AGM...&lt;br /&gt;We'll be announcing the new Main Committee...&lt;br /&gt;I know who I wanted to be my new QMs...&lt;br /&gt;These coming new QMs will be a bit different...&lt;br /&gt;There will be 3 QMs instead of 2...&lt;br /&gt;Which mainly consists of 1 Woodwind Quarter Master, 1 Brass Quarter Master &amp;amp; 1 Percusion Quarter Master...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, what my worries are, these new QMs will blame me for choosing them...&lt;br /&gt;I'm not so worry about one of them but I can't be too sure about the other two...&lt;br /&gt;I really, really hope they will accept this position wholeheartedly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next week will be the interview for the year 1s who wish themselves to be part of the next Main Committee...&lt;br /&gt;There are a few worries...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I don't wish the next committee will turn out to be like mine...&lt;br /&gt;Havoc, chaos, arguments, quarrels, fights, cold wars, just because of one or two people...&lt;br /&gt;Of course, there are a few people whom I don't wish to see in the interview but I don't wish to name them out...&lt;br /&gt;I felt that these few people have no responsibilities, no sense of punctuality and one of them likes to complain unreasonably...&lt;br /&gt;Hope heaven is on my side...&lt;br /&gt;I know I'm very bad but these are what it is from the bottom of my heart...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I still hope the 3 QMs whom I wanted will accept my offer and with no complains...&lt;br /&gt;Still the same phrase: "Hope heaven is on my side."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for all committee members who have been working with me so far...&lt;br /&gt;I really appreciate all your guidance and teamwork...&lt;br /&gt;I'll really going to miss all these moments...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le....bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='text'>Past Activities + House Shifting...</title><content type='html'>Hi everyone!!!&lt;br /&gt;Today my family and I had made it to Simei; one of my relatives' house...&lt;br /&gt;Though going to miss a lot of things but I ready to look forward to experience new things, a new and different lifestyle...&lt;br /&gt;Let's all start from last Thursday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday...&lt;br /&gt;I went for a Mock Competition by NPDS...&lt;br /&gt;Initially I thought it was just some kind of performance and teaching  from the seniors...&lt;br /&gt;I didn't expect that we have to participate...&lt;br /&gt;We were taught how we should be presenting ourselves, our partners when entering the dancefloor...&lt;br /&gt;The feeling was excitement...&lt;br /&gt;It just felt like everything was real...&lt;br /&gt;And when the music ends, how we should end off and exit...&lt;br /&gt;The seniors does taught us lots of things and had shared with us their experiences...&lt;br /&gt;Though I may not be having the intention to go for competition, but at least i learnt something...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday...&lt;br /&gt;I went for NP Voices Accessioning Night...&lt;br /&gt;What is that all about?&lt;br /&gt;Singing of course!!!&lt;br /&gt;Well, we were given a choice to sing any song we want...&lt;br /&gt;Any language, any rhythm, any beat...&lt;br /&gt;And it's a solo performance...&lt;br /&gt;There were 3 judges...&lt;br /&gt;I was only told that the Accessioning Night on Tuesday and I only chose my song on the Friday itself...&lt;br /&gt;There wasn't any time for me to prepare as I was preparing to pack my stuffs for the shifting...&lt;br /&gt;Then, there's this song that struck my mind...&lt;br /&gt;Which is Ihoujin, a Japanese song which means Foreigner...&lt;br /&gt;Upon reaching the meeting venue...&lt;br /&gt;I gave my song to them...&lt;br /&gt;I told them to put my name as the last performer...&lt;br /&gt;As I was listening to all the members, I found that all of them are nice singers...&lt;br /&gt;Not very sure of myself...&lt;br /&gt;It was my turn to sing...&lt;br /&gt;As I was waiting for the judges to finish their comments for the previous singer, I gave a short introduction about myself...&lt;br /&gt;Then it started, I was a bit nervous but I knew I was enjoying myself...&lt;br /&gt;I told myself: Music is what I love, performance experiences are what I've collected...&lt;br /&gt;The song I gave was played by 12 Girls Band...&lt;br /&gt;I have to pretend that they are performing for me and that I can enjoy this music...&lt;br /&gt;I sang with pride and with a sence of musicality...&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed it...&lt;br /&gt;Positive comments from the judges, making me speechless too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both activites from NPDS and NP Voices had given me a chance to learn and expose my talent...&lt;br /&gt;I really thank you from the bottom of my heart...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, which was yesterday...&lt;br /&gt;My family and I started to pack our stuffs...&lt;br /&gt;It has been a busy and tiring day for us...&lt;br /&gt;We'd packed everything until 2.30am this morning...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, today...&lt;br /&gt;I woke up at 8.30am...&lt;br /&gt;When I woke up, I had already saw a few Bangladesh workers with my relatives in our house...&lt;br /&gt;Got myself some breakfast...   &lt;br /&gt;And started to help out...&lt;br /&gt;We had to bring unnecessary stuffs to our new house (Khabit) and there was quite a lot...&lt;br /&gt;Then we brought neccessary stuffs over to my relative's house...&lt;br /&gt;It was tiring...&lt;br /&gt;I went to visit Mustaqim, Uncle Tan...&lt;br /&gt;There's a few more whom I wanted to visit but i couldn't...&lt;br /&gt;Friends whom I've been quite closely, I'd SMS-ed them to wish them good luck...&lt;br /&gt;Sebastian Foo, Joel Loo, Pei Yu, Maximillian...&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your friendship during my stay in Sembawang, hope we'll still keep in contact...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I'll be officially leaving Sembawang this Sunday...&lt;br /&gt;I will be staying in Simei for 3 mouths temporary in my relative's house...&lt;br /&gt;Either by end of February or beginnning of March, I'll be moving to Khatib which is my new house...&lt;br /&gt;Like I said before, it's just downgrading...&lt;br /&gt;I'll still try to find time to come back to Sembawang...&lt;br /&gt;For whom I'm going to miss, I'll always remember you all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For sure, I'm going to miss Sembawang a lot...&lt;br /&gt;I have stayed in this place for coming 10 years...&lt;br /&gt;There's been lots of memories being 'planted' here...&lt;br /&gt;But I know there's something call Email and another thing called MSN...&lt;br /&gt;I'll still get to chat with you guys online...&lt;br /&gt;This blog will still survive till the day I die...&lt;br /&gt;Just that, I'm really very reluctant to shift but this is an family order, I can't object...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'll still remember whatever

type='text'>Chinatown trip with Japanese Interns and new contact lens...</title><content type='html'>Hi All!&lt;br /&gt;Got my contact lens today...&lt;br /&gt;I was taught how to put it on and take it off...&lt;br /&gt;It was so painful, but the moment I got both eyes occupied with the lens...&lt;br /&gt;IT WAS SO COOL!!!&lt;br /&gt;Thank you my family for encouraging me to buy it...&lt;br /&gt;I was really reluctant as I knew that was really painful...and troublesome...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, the feeling was quite okay...&lt;br /&gt;Just that I need to get used to it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I had a Chinatown trip with three Japanese Interns...&lt;br /&gt;Mai-san, Aoi-san &amp;amp; Natsui-san...&lt;br /&gt;At first, I felt a bit pressurized as I seldom converse in Japanese...&lt;br /&gt;Later on, I found that most of us got the same interest so I was really happy chatting like as if I'm a Japanese guy..hahaha...&lt;br /&gt;We went to Makan Place to have our lunch first...&lt;br /&gt;We bought quite a few stuffs for them to try...&lt;br /&gt;Then off we went to Chinatown Heritage Centre...&lt;br /&gt;They were quite amazed by the things in there...&lt;br /&gt;Then later we headed to City Hall as they supposed to have a meeting with a few graduates...&lt;br /&gt;But we headed for Esplanade to let them have a look and take more pictures...&lt;br /&gt;Later we went to Suntec City (the meeting place) to take a look at the Fountain of Wealth...&lt;br /&gt;When all were tired, we went to our main meeting place which is the StarBucks...&lt;br /&gt;Had lots of chats and laughter, got to know more about that...&lt;br /&gt;We really had a great time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

Everyone...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this is for my sister...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow...I don't know how to say this but...I care for my sister a lot more than any other girl...&lt;br /&gt;Yes...we chatted a lot when comes to a time when we felt that we haven't been chatting for a very long time...&lt;br /&gt;Troubles, sorrows, hatred...&lt;br /&gt;All these were just like a gun/cannon war...non-stop...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow...sometimes...I would feel a bit sorry for her...&lt;br /&gt;She would somehow suffered for some reasons...&lt;br /&gt;And as a brother, sometimes, not being by her side, is just guilty...&lt;br /&gt;There were lots of thanks, but also lots of sorries...&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for all the companion...&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for being by my side...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, even really thank you for your examples for this stupid brother of yours...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, mummy will see your effort and compare with me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for sometimes, still fight with you for small, little little things...&lt;br /&gt;I still recalled how we used to fight, really physically fought...&lt;br /&gt;I do still recall my strength of how I used to hit and beat you...&lt;br /&gt;You would also fight back...&lt;br /&gt;I also recall we argued and quarrelled real loud in the house...&lt;br /&gt;Those memories were sometimes funny, but also at the same time, it's really hurtful too...&lt;br /&gt;Also there were lots of things that were being initiated by you...&lt;br /&gt;Birthdays, celebrations...whatever...&lt;br /&gt;I would sometimes felt that I'm always the one being like that, which made me feels that the heart is not with me...&lt;br /&gt;For that, I want to apologise as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True, I do had lots of friends whom I know in NP...&lt;br /&gt;But none were close to me...&lt;br /&gt;Problems will always be kept in my heart...&lt;br /&gt;When I speak about my troubles, I would tend to feel that my friends are just listening, and not hearing...&lt;br /&gt;And might thought that I'm attracting attention...&lt;br /&gt;But having a closest sibling won't feel that way...&lt;br /&gt;That's why I want to thank you, sister...&lt;br /&gt;We always had lots of happy chats...lots of sorrow chats as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are in the midst of your 'O' Levels...&lt;br /&gt;Yet I can't help much...&lt;br /&gt;Recalled that last week, you were about to go for your Maths Paper...&lt;br /&gt;You were still studying...you asked for my help...&lt;br /&gt;At first I thought I could help...&lt;br /&gt;In the end, finding myself being stuck, whatever I've learnt had left my memory and I couldn't help much...&lt;br /&gt;For that, I want to apologise...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I really see that you've grown up and initiated lots of things...&lt;br /&gt;You even found a job before your 'O' Levels ends...&lt;br /&gt;Mummy used this to compare with me again...&lt;br /&gt;See how initiative you are...&lt;br /&gt;How sensitive you are...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I don't believe in younger siblings surpassing the elder ones...&lt;br /&gt;But how I see an example of it...&lt;br /&gt;Being a useless brother, I'm sorry for that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recalling the time, you were surrounded by 13 girls, just directly in front of the police station...&lt;br /&gt;You were beaten up, I wasn't there to protect you...&lt;br /&gt;Instead, when I reached the police station look for you...&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to scold you...&lt;br /&gt;But I couldn't...&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for not being able to support you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's much more to thanks...&lt;br /&gt;But there're others more to be sorry for...&lt;br /&gt;But whatever happens, I'll still love you as a brother...&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for always being by my side, Sister!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

/&gt;Girlfriend? (:&lt;br /&gt;No, I'm Cruyff's Sister in fact.&lt;br /&gt;Well, I stole my brother's laptop &amp;amp; blogger to use today, and yes.&lt;br /&gt;I went into his blog as I felt something isn't going right for my brother recently.&lt;br /&gt;I'd grown up with this fellow for 17 years, I can sense if he's happy or not.&lt;br /&gt;I seldom see him at home, like me.&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't at home too, we were both outside and come home late.&lt;br /&gt;My brother wasn't happy at home, too.&lt;br /&gt;He often get reprimanded by the family, he often get scoldings.&lt;br /&gt;He just didn't like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pity my brother, I felt that my brother should deserve better.&lt;br /&gt;He's unlike me, I'd a big circle of friends.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I don't even have to trouble to find someone to talk to.&lt;br /&gt;I don't even have to think who I should look for.&lt;br /&gt;But him, I know no one is really there.&lt;br /&gt;I really understand him.&lt;br /&gt;I felt heartache when I read his post. I felt like crying for him.&lt;br /&gt;There's once I remembered very clearly....&lt;br /&gt;My brother provoked my mother and she started to throw everything on his table all over,&lt;br /&gt;he cried so badly that I still remember how I shed my tears for him.&lt;br /&gt;He's my beloved brother, whom I often bullied and joked with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He protected me, he love me, he care and concern for me.&lt;br /&gt;I'd never once stop loving this man whom felt neglected by his friends.&lt;br /&gt;I told him my secrets, he told me his too.&lt;br /&gt;Although I don't read his blog often, I don't come over to his blog.&lt;br /&gt;But now as I read, the hurt is so deep that I can actually feel  it.&lt;br /&gt;Kor, I'm always here for you...&lt;br /&gt;Like I said, we're a family...&lt;br /&gt;I'll never leave you alone,&lt;br /&gt;if you ever felt lonely, I will be there to accompany you...&lt;br /&gt;if you ever felt like crying, think of the stupidest thing I'd ever done.. =x&lt;br /&gt;if you ever need a shoulder to lie on, use mine(although not fleshy and comfortable)...&lt;br /&gt;if you ever need someone to whack you, I WILL BE THE MOST WILLING TO!!! =P&lt;br

type='text'>Mess up in my job...</title><content type='html'>It has been 2 weeks since I join Sakae Sushi...&lt;br /&gt;But I'm still kind of screw up...&lt;br /&gt;Scolded by Manager...&lt;br /&gt;Upset my colleagues...&lt;br /&gt;Still not familiar with the menu...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I feel really stressful about this job is that, you have to memorise the menu with the descriptions so as to explain it to the customers...&lt;br /&gt;Another thing is, I don't mind facing the customers' 'face', I do mind looking at my colleagues' 'face' and their attitude towards...&lt;br /&gt;People who understand me will know that I'm soft and sensitive by heart...&lt;br /&gt;Once anythings come towards me, you won't see me smiling for the rest of the day already...&lt;br /&gt;Just like today, Yan Suan 'confronted' me again for my mistake...&lt;br /&gt;I know I'm very careless...&lt;br /&gt;It has been 2 weeks and I couldn't afford to gives excuses or make any mistakes...&lt;br /&gt;But I'm still a human here with tolerance...&lt;br /&gt;I had once confessed to Irene(Manager) before, of all colleagues, Yan Suan is the only colleague whom I really cannot take it...&lt;br /&gt;Although in general, almost all female colleague...&lt;br /&gt;Yan Suan to me, is just arrogant...&lt;br /&gt;I had also asked Irene about changing of location...&lt;br /&gt;She advised me to stay...&lt;br /&gt;Now, I felt kind of tired...&lt;br /&gt;Feel like quiting this job and look for another one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raymond, Qin Shu, today is both of your last day...&lt;br /&gt;Both of you are those best senior colleagues I've ever had...&lt;br /&gt;It's really such a pity that you both are leaving for NS...&lt;br /&gt;Especially the both of you, have been very patient towards me...&lt;br /&gt;I know, on my 3rd day of work...&lt;br /&gt;I got complained by customers...&lt;br /&gt;I really want to thank Raymond for the console...&lt;br /&gt;As I almost cried in front of Irene...&lt;br /&gt;For Qin Shu, thanks for all the teaching...&lt;br /&gt;You have really been very patient to all my 'nonsense'...&lt;br /&gt;I want to wish the both of you, enjoy your NS, hope we can meet again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another Best-Pal-Colleague is Zack...&lt;br /&gt;Both of us are still trainee for lots of stuffs...&lt;br /&gt;And everytime, both of us will leave our work place together...&lt;br /&gt;And always feeling very happy chatting with you...&lt;br /&gt;And you're the youngest of us all...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I just find you quite an interesting/tough guy...&lt;br /&gt;You're schooling and working at the same time...&lt;br /&gt;And you can cope with your work so well...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, you're the one who can listen to my problems and chat about it...&lt;br /&gt;And I really thank you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I'm still considering another job...&lt;br /&gt;Better environment, an environment that is not so stressful...&lt;br /&gt;But thinking back...&lt;br /&gt;This job is being asked by my father...&lt;br /&gt;And I'm working for my survival for my next semester...&lt;br /&gt;And this is one of the highest pay job which I can find...&lt;br /&gt;I can't afford to let my parents or myself down because of certain mistakes...&lt;br /&gt;I've got lots of things to learn...&lt;br /&gt;Though stressful, stomach is the cause for what I'm doing now...&lt;br /&gt;I'll try my really best to memorise the menu asap and won't let myself down anymore...&lt;br /&gt;がんばります！！！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div

type='text'>DBSK Disbanded...</title><content type='html'>It was like a heavy news to me...&lt;br /&gt;One of my favourite BoyBand, Dong Bang Shin Ki(DBSK) had just got disbanded...&lt;br /&gt;Due to the lawsuit case with SM Company...&lt;br /&gt;It was such a total waste of talent...&lt;br /&gt;To be truthful, I started to like this boyband like last month(?)...&lt;br /&gt;And in only just a few weeks, it got disbanded just like that...&lt;br /&gt;I've been listening to their music and my interest of learning Korean is also because of them...&lt;br /&gt;I'm not gay, please...haha...&lt;br /&gt;Just that seriously, I like their music really, really lot...&lt;br /&gt;Now they're disbanded, it's just a total waste...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blame who? The SM Company of course...&lt;br /&gt;I really pity their story...&lt;br /&gt;Work so hard and yet...&lt;br /&gt;Come to think of it, it's better...&lt;br /&gt;As their fans, we want them to be happy...&lt;br /&gt;Creating their style of music, and not music creating them...&lt;br /&gt;Which is just wrong...&lt;br /&gt;I'll still continue to listen to their music...&lt;br /&gt;I'll still pursue my interest of learning korean...&lt;br /&gt;I'll still watch their past dramas...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I'll tend to feel disappointed, but as long as they're happy, as their fans, I'll happy too...&lt;br /&gt;Wherever they are, I want to wish them all the best...&lt;br /&gt;Whether they are continuing into entertainment industry or other fields...&lt;br /&gt;If they want to patch, under different company, it would be better...&lt;br /&gt;But I can tell that, all of them are very tired, be it physically or mentally...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think this actually somehow tells people that, before you go for any auditions, look at the details first...&lt;br /&gt;Don't get yourself ended up like H.O.T, DBSK...&lt;br /&gt;Heavy schedules, lesser pay then expected in a year, do more than what you should be doing...&lt;br /&gt;And getting yourself fighting a lawsuit for freedom...&lt;br /&gt;I think that's really a tragedy...&lt;br /&gt;People wanted to be chosen for a certain audition, whether to pursue career or interest, wanted to famous, gain fame...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I think that people like them have to be mentally prepared...&lt;br /&gt;Interest like this ofter comes with heavy prices...&lt;br /&gt;It's not that you can't, you can, just to tell yourself, you are prepared...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DBSK signed a 13-year contract...&lt;br /&gt;It has been 5 years plus since they first started...&lt;br /&gt;It's a good thing that they voice out, at least they don't get to suffer anymore...&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I felt quite sad is the brotherhood between them...&lt;br /&gt;From my point of view is that, they like close brothers...&lt;br /&gt;Now they have to be disbanded/separated...&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, I don't know how would they be feeling right now...&lt;br /&gt;As for ChangMin and Yunho, who are staying, it's just puzzled me that they're willing to continue in SM...&lt;br /&gt;For what reason, I do not know...&lt;br /&gt;Of all members, only JaeJoong, Yoochun &amp;amp; JunSu complaint...&lt;br /&gt;The 5 of them are willing to be disbanded so easily, I was just wondering (if at the same time) that the relationship between the 5 has gone worse...&lt;br /&gt;I mean, I hope not, just that too many things had puzzled me...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are such great singers, even if they're going to be working alone, I think I'll still support them...&lt;br /&gt;Just that all fans around the world have to take some time and 'digest' the fact that they have disbanded, but will still continue to support them...&lt;br /&gt;It's very cruel, but what can we do?&lt;br /&gt;Life is theirs, not ours, we can't choose for them...&lt;br /&gt;I mean, you don't want to see your idol(s) suffering under such conditions, right?&lt;br /&gt;When it's time to let go, let it go...&lt;br /&gt;In the past, there were also numerous boybands/girlbands got disbanded...&lt;br /&gt;Just that, perhaps, DBSK is one of those 'special' cases that they were more outstanding...&lt;br /&gt;I think fans who supported them are like crying for them now...&lt;br /&gt;For a guy who support boybands like them, will be like "WTH", "Darn it"...haha...&lt;br /&gt;I have a friend who did that...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, DBSK, I wish you all, ALL THE BEST!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div

want...&lt;br /&gt;Especially when comes to money/financial needs...&lt;br /&gt;Everyone should know that my father works as a policeman for 20 years...&lt;br /&gt;Because of house financial, he almost lost his job...&lt;br /&gt;The debts that he'd been owing has to be returned by one of our relatives...&lt;br /&gt;In the past, especially my siblings and I, don't know how to spend money wisely...&lt;br /&gt;When comes to housing fees, car taxes, have to go by credit...&lt;br /&gt;All these goes on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When today my mother said that the person will be coming up to our to photoshoot our house...&lt;br /&gt;And I have to clean up my room...&lt;br /&gt;Because of all these problems, I lost my appetite and end up scolding by my mum for not telling her that I'm not eating so that she can save the effort for cooking my share...&lt;br /&gt;I know I was in a wrong...&lt;br /&gt;Everyone felt that I'm not caring for the family...&lt;br /&gt;I'm too, am stressed

type='text'>The Heart of Loneliness...</title><content type='html'>Ever since what had really happened to me 2 years ago...&lt;br /&gt;I had really think back...&lt;br /&gt;I had really think hard of life and death...&lt;br /&gt;I had really think hard of my family...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I just felt that the care which I should get has been subsiding...&lt;br /&gt;The loneliness within my heart has increased...&lt;br /&gt;Seeing the clique which sometimes I think I should be with, enjoying among themselves...&lt;br /&gt;Which envied me...&lt;br /&gt;Felt like naming them, but I can't...&lt;br /&gt;They were once my friends...&lt;br /&gt;Now, I felt that they're not treating me like one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My loneliness grew ever since primary school...&lt;br /&gt;But that doesn't really mean it is really part of my life...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I just really, really need to lend a ear, a patient ear to hear me out...&lt;br /&gt;Most of my time is really quiet so people don't really know what I'm thinking about...&lt;br /&gt;My character is sometimes very strange too...&lt;br /&gt;I don't feel cheerful anymore...&lt;br /&gt;It's just serious all my way through...&lt;br /&gt;The 'cheerfulness' are not what exactly it is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said, seeing a clique after another...&lt;br /&gt;Really does make me jealous, envious and also...disappointed...&lt;br /&gt;My heart is heavy, filled with loneliness and hatred bit by bit, day by day...&lt;br /&gt;Seeing my life is going to fall below the X-axis and Y-axis...&lt;br /&gt;The unfairness starts to come...&lt;br /&gt;It brought my moral even lower...&lt;br /&gt;It does not show on my face, it does reflect in my heart...deeply...&lt;br /&gt;Not a word of encouragement, not even a smile or pat on the shoulder...&lt;br /&gt;Telling me: "Hold on there...you must persevere..."&lt;br /&gt;None of these comes...&lt;br /&gt;After fighting my life for all these years, no appreciation at all...&lt;br /&gt;All I got was prejudices...&lt;br /&gt;Bad nicknames, negative words behind my back...&lt;br /&gt;No one knows how much pain(physically &amp;amp; psychologically) I had fought through, or I am fighting through...&lt;br /&gt;This clique, seeing them enjoying themselves, always make me feel that I'm being left out...&lt;br /&gt;All I want is to spend some time with them...&lt;br /&gt;I want to break through my position, 'overthrow' the things that opposes me...&lt;br /&gt;I want to quit...just like Rizuan...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is for you, Rizuan...&lt;br /&gt;We had been friends for more than a year...&lt;br /&gt;Most of the time, you gave me the encouragement, you brought me laughter...&lt;br /&gt;There's a lot of 'Thank you" that I wanted to say to you...&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank you for all the words of encouragement you gave...&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank you for all the laughters you had given me as well...&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank you for lending your ears to me, listening to my problems...&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank you for your advices...&lt;br /&gt;Upon hearing that you're going to leave us just like that, I was surprised in my heart....&lt;br /&gt;Probably in the whole school, you're one of the very few best friends I'd ever have...&lt;br /&gt;Most of the time, when I met problems or troubles, your advices and laughters always cheer me up...&lt;br /&gt;You've helped me a lot...&lt;br /&gt;Waving you farewell, is one of the very tough things to do...&lt;br /&gt;After you leave, I'm going to be more lonely...&lt;br /&gt;Lonely than ever...&lt;br /&gt;How I wish I can give you a really big buddy hug...&lt;br /&gt;I remembered the first time we chatted with each other, full of engrossment in the things we chatted...&lt;br /&gt;I won't forget that moment...&lt;br /&gt;I reall want to thank you, Rizuan!&lt;br /&gt;Thank you very much!&lt;br /&gt;I wish you, able to find your future dream, excel in life and family, most importantly, take good care of yourself...&lt;br /&gt;We won't know when we'll be able to meet again...&lt;br /&gt;But hopefully we will be able to meet up again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just a few days back, my wound surroundings started again...&lt;br /&gt;The pain has haunted me day and night...&lt;br /&gt;'Washed' my face with tears almost every night...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I don't know why...&lt;br /&gt;Something kept telling me that, I have to stop this already...&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to suffer anymore of this nonsense anymore...&lt;br /&gt;I want to push this pain away...&lt;br /&gt;I want to end here, is very demoralising...&lt;br /&gt;The pain I have, is not what anyone can feel...&lt;br /&gt;Pain in health, pain in life, pain in family, pain in everything...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I really, really had enough of all these nonsense...&lt;br /&gt;The more i want to drew myself back, the more I want to push myself forward again, towards the cliff in my mind, jump it off and that's it...&lt;br /&gt;Total shut down...&lt;br /&gt;I have no clique to follow...&lt;br /&gt;Follow my own instinct, my own body...&lt;br /&gt;No true friends...&lt;br /&gt;The more work I do, the more I felt is being unappreciated...&lt;br /&gt;What for being over-responsible...&lt;br /&gt;Make my life and body miserable...&lt;br /&gt;It's just kill me...&lt;br /&gt;Always ended myself in hospital...&lt;br /&gt;Recalling all the bad incidents in the past...&lt;br /&gt;Being lonely, sometimes, on the ward bed...&lt;br /&gt;No one to talk to...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know I'm not well-liked in school, by some people...&lt;br /&gt;Because of my seriousness, my strictness...&lt;br /&gt;Also people avoided me because of other reasons...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I tried to console myself that these people are not mature enough, i should forgive them...&lt;br /&gt;But after awhile, these crazy thoughts came back again...&lt;br /&gt;Being deserted...being left out...being lonely again...&lt;br /&gt;Words and actions affected me easily...&lt;br /&gt;I'm easily break down due to this as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened during my 18th birthday also affected me a lot...negatively...&lt;br /&gt;The most important person in my life...did something which I did not enjoy my birthday for the rest of the period...&lt;br /&gt;I was very disappointed...&lt;br /&gt;A movie won't cheer me up...&lt;br /&gt;Laughter won't cheer me up...&lt;br /&gt;Words won't cheer me up...&lt;br /&gt;More sad things happened...&lt;br /&gt;I broke down...I could no longer take it anymore...&lt;br /&gt;Of all birthdays I had, that was the most tragic one I'd ever had...&lt;br /&gt;Life is starting to get unfair with me...&lt;br /&gt;How I wish I can fight back...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the past few weeks, I know I haven't been blogging...&lt;br /&gt;Troubles being hidden in my heart for so long that, I could really blog them out now...&lt;br /&gt;Now is 2.31am...&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, I'm in no good mood to sleep...&lt;br /&gt;It's just amazing that i exploded everything out of my heart just like that...&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what I'm doing...I just want to flare out anything that has been stucking in my heart, filling with troubles...&lt;br /&gt;Think I should stop here, the more I say, the more crazy I'll get, the more people I'll offend...&lt;br /&gt;How I wish these would end...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I should continue...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, I even feel like I'm not appreciated...&lt;br /&gt;When I was the follower of certain team/group...&lt;br /&gt;I appreciated all my leaders hardwork...&lt;br /&gt;But when I'm a leader of a certain group...&lt;br /&gt;I guided them, I followed their suggestion...&lt;br /&gt;In the end, we got good results...&lt;br /&gt;But sometimes I just don't feel that appreciative...&lt;br /&gt;Like I planned so many things, I worked with my members whenever they need help, I try not to leave anyone out, make sure everyone has a job to do...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I was thinking, have I done anything wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To Be A Good Leader, You Have To Be A Good Follower."&lt;br /&gt;This phrase was given by my father when I was still in secondary school...&lt;br /&gt;Another phrase I learnt from one of my PE teacher was that: "One must always ask himself this question: "Am I doing the right thing or the wrong thing?""&lt;br /&gt;These 2 phrases has always been in my mind...&lt;br /&gt;It has always been part of my life...&lt;br /&gt;That's why I have to be self-disciplined...&lt;br /&gt;Since primary school, I have been learning...&lt;br /&gt;All the experiences I had, taught me a lot in life...&lt;br /&gt;In secondary school, I tell myself, no vulgarities...&lt;br /&gt;No matter how tough life is, I won't scold a single vulgarity...&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, I taught all my friends how we should react to situations...&lt;br /&gt;What mindset we should be carrying with us...&lt;br /&gt;Maturity doesn't come that easy...&lt;br /&gt;One must really know the right and wrong...&lt;br /&gt;Everyone know that I'm a serious person...&lt;br /&gt;I seldom joke, sometimes not even joke...&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't very flexible with actions and words made by my friends...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I will tend to argue with them...&lt;br /&gt;What did I do?&lt;br /&gt;I called them up, apologising to them, whether I'm right or wrong...&lt;br /&gt;Knowing the Way of Life is through one's experience and deed thoughtfulness...&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I'll tend to teach my friends the Way of Life...&lt;br /&gt;I don't know if they appreciate my words or not...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my character, you want to make friends with me...&lt;br /&gt;You had better be self-disciplined too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my character, punctuality...&lt;br /&gt;If we are going to meet up at a certain timing, do be punctual, if not, I'll leave first...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my character, responsibility...&lt;br /&gt;I will always make sure that I've completed my stuffs before the due date...&lt;br /&gt;You had better be responsible for your own things as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my character, no foolish comments towards others...&lt;br /&gt;I will not comment on things when I don't even have the basic knowledge...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my character, appreciative...&lt;br /&gt;Imagine the hardwork which others had put in more than yourselves...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my character, to be when I am supposed to be...&lt;br /&gt;Be serious when you are supposed to be, work hard, play hard...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my character, priorities...&lt;br /&gt;In order: Family, Health, Education, Work, Personal Interest...&lt;br

in the bandroom...&lt;br /&gt;When comes to the practice part, it was really chaotic...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow I was really got pissed off by myself for not being able to be a good Quarter Master...&lt;br /&gt;I apologised if there's any mistake made during the practice...&lt;br /&gt;Right now, I'm going to focus on my proposals...&lt;br /&gt;Not forgetting studies as well...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to my tiredness, I missed out the NP Choir Concert...&lt;br /&gt;Actually I wanted to go, but I'm too tired...&lt;br /&gt;But I just got an invitation from Brandon that the coming tuesday, during the

type='text'>CSSB got a COP...</title><content type='html'>Today, the moment I stepped into the bandroom...&lt;br /&gt;Rizuan told me that CSS band got a COP for SYF...&lt;br /&gt;I told him that it was actually expected...&lt;br /&gt;Tormimi told me that Nizam felt that way too...&lt;br /&gt;Let me revealed about my feelings towards CSS Band regarding this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have seen the set piece, every single notes is being articulated...&lt;br /&gt;If you have seen their choice piece, not much articulation...&lt;br /&gt;By comparing the standard of both pieces, it was a total big difference...&lt;br /&gt;The standard of the set piece has already tell the band how high the standard of the SYF for this year already is...&lt;br /&gt;Previously, I told quite a few members that standards are higher than before...&lt;br /&gt;Their expressions sometimes tells me that, either they are listening to my words for fun, or they don't put this into heart, or even worse, don't care at all...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I can see the seniors(sec 4s and sec 3s) are trying their very best to maintain the band discipline and their playing standard...&lt;br /&gt;But I can see that the younger ones don't seems to care at all...&lt;br /&gt;What irritates me is not the results, but the discipline...&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to name the sections, but the section should know who I am referring to...&lt;br /&gt;People can don't care about warming-up before playing...&lt;br /&gt;When Mr. Lee is talking, sometimes I see no one gives a damn to it, and still can talk...&lt;br /&gt;No one know what Mr. Lee wants...&lt;br /&gt;There still got people ask Mr. Lee, "Mr. Lee, can I don't (Eg. slur, tougue etc) for this part or not?"&lt;br /&gt;Worse still, that person asked Mr. Lee about the set piece...&lt;br /&gt;I can see Mr. Lee is not happy about it...&lt;br /&gt;He replied, "You ask the judge lah, see can or not..."&lt;br /&gt;That's what I felt too...&lt;br /&gt;I mean, come on lah...&lt;br /&gt;Who will go and ask such stupid question?!&lt;br /&gt;Set piece leh...&lt;br /&gt;I don't know what to look forward to already...&lt;br /&gt;Somehow, I really want to give the band a scolding...&lt;br /&gt;But seriously, what has happened, has already happened...&lt;br /&gt;I can't say anything much...&lt;br /&gt;Let bygones be bygones...&lt;br /&gt;I just want the band to be well-disciplined...&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure that's what the other seniors want too...&lt;br /&gt;It's not up to the directors/instructors, it's also not up to the teachers, it's up to the band whether they want to change or not...&lt;br /&gt;All I have to say is, all the best in whatever they do, take this result as a lesson, make sure that it won't happen again...&lt;br /&gt;I'm not being sarcastic here, I was once from this band, I still have that feeling...&lt;br /&gt;Of course, I still want the band to shine out to the other bands that they are better than the rest...&lt;br /&gt;Make the directors proud, make the teachers proud, make the seniors proud, most importantly, make themselves proud...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, all the best CSS Band, that faith and confidence in you all, is still in my heart, I believe that this band will shine out one day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE SPIRIT!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

recently I just got obscessed with Jazz Choir...&lt;br /&gt;Well, just a few mouths back, I have been a fan of the Swingle Singers...&lt;br /&gt;Swingle Singers is a choir with decades of history...&lt;br /&gt;Till today, they are very famous around the world...&lt;br /&gt;They are actually specialised in Acapella...&lt;br /&gt;And Pink Panther Theme is one of my top favourite Jazz piece...&lt;br /&gt;And I even become a fan in their facebook...&lt;br /&gt;I was so honoured to receive one of the members' email...&lt;br /&gt;Thanking me for becoming a fan in their facebook...&lt;br /&gt;I feel so honoured...&lt;br /&gt;The song I put in, if you can hear clearly, there were no instrument being used...&lt;br /&gt;All parts are plainly voices...&lt;br /&gt;Well, I just hope to get their CD somewhere in Singapore as I don't want to risk myself by getting it online...&lt;br /&gt;Unless anyone knows, can teach me...&lt;br /&gt;I'm poor at purchasing stuffs online...&lt;br /&gt;And what's more about it?&lt;br /&gt;You need extra cash...&lt;br /&gt;Which I don't have...*sobs*...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm still looking for a job to fill up my empty days...&lt;br /&gt;Just recently(again), I went to Sembawang Shopping Centre...&lt;br /&gt;There's a Home-Fix(which I used to work) at their Basement 1...&lt;br /&gt;I re-signup again and now waiting for their HQ to call me...&lt;br /&gt;If I get this job, I'll have 3 jobs in total already...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Conversational Chinese Instructor at my secondary school&lt;br /&gt;2) Private Tutor around my neighbourhood&lt;br /&gt;3) Home-Fix Crew at Sembawang Shopping Centre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Extra&lt;br /&gt;I still got my CCA to worry about...&lt;br /&gt;So all these can actually fill up all my days in March and hopefully, April as well...&lt;br /&gt;I just so nervous about my results...&lt;br /&gt;Which will be announced in 20th March...&lt;br /&gt;Another 18 days more...&lt;br /&gt;*Scared*...*Scared*...&lt;br /&gt;All the best to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk about my CCA...&lt;br /&gt;I think all schools have the same systems...&lt;br /&gt;We have PEARLS

just looking forward to my current job, my CCA and of course, my birthday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, yes, I did mentioned that I'm not going to celebrate my birthday in my msn personal message...&lt;br /&gt;But that doesn't mean I'm not going to share my birthday...&lt;br /&gt;Well, for now, I'm still looking for orchestra concert, choir concert...&lt;br /&gt;I found a Dancesports Competition which my school is going to participate and I'm going to watch it...&lt;br /&gt;Well, I really, really hope to share my birthdays with a Orchestra Concert, a Choir Concert and a Dancesports Competition...&lt;br /&gt;If it can be fulfilled...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people had asked me why I'm not celebrating my birthday...&lt;br /&gt;Well, this year is a very terrible year...&lt;br /&gt;On top of the worst, the Financial Crisis...&lt;br /&gt;That really, really hit hard on my family and myself...&lt;br /&gt;Got scolded and 'lectured' so many times by my parents because of this...&lt;br /&gt;I sympathise with our current situation as well...&lt;br /&gt;Well, the input is getting lower while the output is getting higher...&lt;br /&gt;Is really kind of

Jeremy...&lt;br /&gt;As we were very early, we went to explore the school...&lt;br /&gt;Amazed to us, the school gave us the feeling that we're in Japan...&lt;br /&gt;The school is really constructed like schools in Japan...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we were led to the holding room...&lt;br /&gt;Chatted a long...&lt;br /&gt;Received an sms from Yee Tat...&lt;br /&gt;Saw Yee Tat and the other students, with Chishiho sensei at the school gate...&lt;br /&gt;Then later all of us were led to the hall...&lt;br /&gt;Then, the contest started...&lt;br /&gt;There were 6 speakers...&lt;br /&gt;Overall feeling was that, they were very good, just that they're very nervous...&lt;br /&gt;Then after the contest, we went to explore the school again...&lt;br /&gt;The canteen in the school wasn't really like a canteen...&lt;br /&gt;You just have to collect your food from just that one stall, bring your food to your classroom and eat...&lt;br /&gt;Which is like so cool!!!&lt;br /&gt;And I was very, very surprised by the food/diet they had...&lt;br /&gt;Salad!!!&lt;br /&gt;The serving of the vegetables was very big and the rice is just almost the size as a tennis ball; the serving of rice is small...&lt;br /&gt;And because of their diet, all of us actually agree that, be it guy or gal, their skin are in good condition...&lt;br /&gt;As in, like no pimples, very fair...&lt;br /&gt;And one more thing which attract my attention- all of them are very slim, healthy-looking, and of course, GOOD-LOOKING!!!&lt;br /&gt;I was so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Not a single there is plum or average-size-looking...&lt;br /&gt;I can say, Japanese teenagers are my idols, be it guy or gal...&lt;br /&gt;Really, really &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sugoi ne&lt;/span&gt;(amazing)...&lt;br /&gt;When we left the school, we saw students jogging around the school...&lt;br /&gt;I was asking myself, what really motivated them to exercise?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, Denise and I accompanied Catherine to NUS as she claimed that there's a Open House...&lt;br /&gt;After going a big round in the school, we found out that the Open House isn't today, but one month later...&lt;br /&gt;But we don't mind, we're glad to be there to explore the place...&lt;br /&gt;Had our meal at Mcdonalds'...&lt;br /&gt;Had lots of chats again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examinations are around the corner, so I shouldn't be slacking...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examinations&lt;br /&gt;-Introduction to Advanced Mathematics&lt;br /&gt;19th February, Thursday, Convention Centre Level 1&lt;br /&gt;- Engineering Mathematics 2&lt;br /&gt;20th February, Friday, Convention Centre Level 1&lt;br /&gt;- Digital Electronics&lt;br /&gt;25th February, Wednesday, Convention Centre Level 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This holiday, I've been invited to go back to CSS to teach Conversation Chinese again...&lt;br /&gt;I'm so excited...&lt;br /&gt;Also, I can use this chance to go back to CSS band, look at the set piece...&lt;br /&gt;Heard that it is quite hard...&lt;br /&gt;Hope the band is really trying their best...&lt;br /&gt;All the best to me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/954049347884538499-7834289382426919053?l=jcscband.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/feeds/7834289382426919053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=954049347884538499&amp;postID=7834289382426919053' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/7834289382426919053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/954049347884538499/posts/default/7834289382426919053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jcscband.blogspot.com/2009/02/wasade-shibuya-senior-high-school.html' title='Waseda Shibuya Senior High School!'/><author><name>jcscband</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12696449093210449551</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7pR6MSx8Tps/SKgVFZqzxtI/AAAAAAAAAAM/jyHr5td4RGU/S220/Lying+on+my+baritone+saxophone.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954049347884538499.post-6891192373311638894</id><published>2009-02-02T02:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-02T02:38:19.348-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Something creative...</title><content type='html'>Found this from Quan Yi Feng's blog...&lt;br /&gt;Kind of funny...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone was asked to make a short story from 1 to 10...&lt;br /&gt;Not only that per son make the story from 1 to 10...&lt;br /&gt;Also, from 10 to 1...&lt;br /&gt;I'll put the actually meaning in brackets...&lt;br /&gt;Alright, here it goes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;1(one) day I go 2(to) climb a 3(tree) outside a house to peep.

type='text'>Miss something but gain something...</title><content type='html'>Well, first of all, I would like to apologise to my fellow bandmates...&lt;br /&gt;For not turning up for the barbeque...&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to go but I had something on...&lt;br /&gt;I know that the barbeque was meant to be with the seniors...&lt;br /&gt;Byright I was still able to go but I didn't expect 'it' to be so late...&lt;br /&gt;Well, yesterday, I went to attend a course by Mind Edge, in Singapore Post Centre...&lt;br /&gt;I'm not too sure if everyone of you have heard of this before...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, my father told me is just a 'Memory Booster' course...&lt;br /&gt;He wanted me to go...&lt;br /&gt;So that's why I missed the barbeque...&lt;br /&gt;I went there after my project and met my family there...&lt;br /&gt;Then when I went in, the atmosphere was like kind of different from what I've expected...&lt;br /&gt;The people there were very friendly...&lt;br /&gt;And we managed to met this person, Mr. Alan Yip, from Hong Kong...&lt;br /&gt;He'd once been appeared in the Book of Guiness World Record for having a Memory Power...&lt;br /&gt;His 'power' really astounded me...&lt;br /&gt;What we did was, we gave 60 numbers, all jumble up...&lt;br /&gt;Like for example, 92789274937204876294768639176382183638126372910364563284528....&lt;br /&gt;He can remember all the numbers and recite it in order, without looking at anything...&lt;br /&gt;Then later they classified us as, parents, Upper-primary, Lower-primary, Secondary-and-Tertiary and we go into different rooms...&lt;br /&gt;First, the trainer there gave us a few vocabulary and a few biology terms...&lt;br /&gt;They actually taught us how to remember the meaning...&lt;br /&gt;It was really, really fun...&lt;br /&gt;Then a geography chapter...&lt;br /&gt;Then we have to present to all parents what we have done...&lt;br /&gt;I mean, it just so amazing that we can learn the meanings in such fun ways, without any forced memorization...&lt;br /&gt;My sister and I find that it's a very useful course, so we decided to sign up for it...&lt;br /&gt;It's a 7-month course...&lt;br /&gt;I'll be starting from 8 March onwards...&lt;br /&gt;My sister will be starting earlier than me...&lt;br /&gt;Well, frankly speaking, I didn't regret coming to this course...&lt;br /&gt;It really taught me lots of stuffs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later that, I called Elisse and Tony but both didn't answer, but Faiezah did...&lt;br /&gt;Telling me that they are going to pack up soon so I didn't turn up...&lt;br /&gt;But later, my father brought us to East Coast for Dinner-cum-Supper...&lt;br /&gt;Slept at 3am...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div

type='text'>Back from camp &amp; Happy New Year!</title><content type='html'>Hi Everyone!&lt;br /&gt;Just got back from camp during new year's eve...&lt;br /&gt;The camp was rather fun...&lt;br /&gt;Though I wasn't able to play the games due to my injury...&lt;br /&gt;But seriously, it was still quite fun...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First day...&lt;br /&gt;Only about less than 20 people turned up...&lt;br /&gt;Then cleaning of dorms...&lt;br /&gt;Had lots of practices for our Rondeau...&lt;br /&gt;Had practice throughout the day...&lt;br /&gt;Then lights out...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second day...&lt;br /&gt;I slept at 1am ++...&lt;br /&gt;Woke up at 7am...&lt;br /&gt;Freaky tired...&lt;br /&gt;Then we were brought to the sports stadium...&lt;br /&gt;Had warm-up exercises and volleyball games but I wasn't involved...&lt;br /&gt;I was just plainly helping to take photos...&lt;br /&gt;Then afternoon practice...&lt;br /&gt;Then comes the night games...&lt;br /&gt;It was so exciting...&lt;br /&gt;Starting out patrolling with Sohaila...&lt;br /&gt;Then later when games were coming to a climax, we all rushed to make waterbombs...&lt;br /&gt;Joshua &amp;amp; I was at the 3rd level of the stadium and both of us started 'throwing' down water on them...&lt;br /&gt;Then had party...&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't really had the energy to party...&lt;br /&gt;But later seeing them enjoying themselves...&lt;br /&gt;I joined them...&lt;br /&gt;Dancing and screaming...&lt;br /&gt;Slept at 3am ++...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third day...&lt;br /&gt;Woke up at 9am...&lt;br /&gt;Freaky tired again...&lt;br /&gt;Had practice after breakfast...&lt;br /&gt;Myt section got the best performance award...&lt;br /&gt;Then was the election...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Election Results:&lt;br /&gt;President- Elisse&lt;br /&gt;Vice-President- Tony&lt;br /&gt;Secretary- Shannon&lt;br /&gt;Treasurer- Rizuan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish them all the best in their upcoming responsibilities...&lt;br /&gt;It will be very tough for them...&lt;br /&gt;Elisse, Tony &amp;amp; Shannon are studying in School of Business &amp;amp; Accountancy...&lt;br /&gt;So more or less, the stress level is there...&lt;br /&gt;Rizuan, is rather lucky...&lt;br /&gt;Studying under School of Engineering...&lt;br /&gt;Being a treasurer is so much lucky for him as he still has his section to worry about...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, hopefully you all will be able to cope and first impression comes...&lt;br /&gt;The Open House Event...&lt;br /&gt;How the event will go, depends on all of you...&lt;br /&gt;If you are unable to cope, just say it out, don't run away from reality...&lt;br /&gt;Face it and accept it, okay?&lt;br /&gt;Good luck to all of you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment I got back home, I showered, I checked all my emails...&lt;br /&gt;Had only 2 hours of rest which is so torturing...&lt;br /&gt;Then went to watch the fireworks at Marina with my whole family...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Happy New Year to all of us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I still left with one-quarter of my DEL being left undone and half of my Japanese holiday assignment being left undone as well...&lt;br /&gt;And I'll still be having practice tomorrow throughout the day as well...&lt;br /&gt;GOSH!!!&lt;br /&gt;Guess I'll have to do lots of last minute work...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>RP-NP Music Exchange...</title><content type='html'>Hi Everyone...&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday my band and I had our first poly music exchange with RP...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reached school like 8.30am like that...&lt;br /&gt;People coming in one by one after the expected time...&lt;br /&gt;Bring the stands up and down the block due to that the lorry was to long...&lt;br /&gt;I was kind of very agitated lah...&lt;br /&gt;Then reached RP at about 10.30am...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone was so high...&lt;br /&gt;Then a short introduction by Azri...&lt;br /&gt;Then RP Ex-president, Jasmine...&lt;br /&gt;Then a short phototaking session...&lt;br /&gt;Everyone was like kind of shy like that...&lt;br /&gt;Then comes the games which I have to admit thatit's really fun...&lt;br /&gt;Everyone was having fun as well...&lt;br /&gt;I was really sweating like hell...&lt;br /&gt;Then had lunch with my section of both schools...&lt;br /&gt;Is like we're really well-bonded...&lt;br /&gt;Not like secondary school exchange...&lt;br /&gt;Everyone was so quiet and shy, nobody wants to take initiative, or rather to take the lead...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had sectionals...&lt;br /&gt;Had combined practice...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We played Silverado(our own piece) and Huntingdon Celebration which RP gave us to sight read...&lt;br /&gt;RP played (if I'm not wrong of the title)Spaceship Yamato(their own piece) and American Graffiti XVIII which we gave them to sight read...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then both bands played Cavetown Cappadocia which was provided by Captain Yusri(sorry, not really sure how to spell) and The Cowboys Overture by Captain Tan Aik Kee...&lt;br /&gt;Well, there's a few stops in between the playing of both songs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the prize presentation...&lt;br /&gt;During lunch, RP actually gave us a sheet of paper to vote for:&lt;br /&gt;1) A Hot babe&lt;br /&gt;2) A Hunk&lt;br /&gt;3) A Joker&lt;br /&gt;4) A person with the weirdest hair&lt;br /&gt;5) A person with a meltiest smile&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each side has to vote these 5 person of the other band...&lt;br /&gt;Then the results came...&lt;br /&gt;From NP to RP:&lt;br /&gt;1) Hottest Babe- Jasmine(EX-president, as mentioned, a bass trombonist)&lt;br /&gt;2) Hunk- Eugene Yeo(From Trombone)&lt;br /&gt;3) Joker- Simon(A oboeist)&lt;br /&gt;4) Weirdest hair- Sadih(percussionist, hope I've spell the name correctly)&lt;br /&gt;4) Meltiest Smile- Sarimah(my section- Saxophonist, also the Quarter Mistress of RP)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From RP to NP:&lt;br /&gt;1) Hottest Babe- Charissa(French Hornist)&lt;br /&gt;2) Hunk- Tony(My section- Saxophone)&lt;br /&gt;3) Joker- Wei Ren(my section again, which is like kind of shocking)&lt;br /&gt;4) Weirdest Hair- Hazmi(Multi-Woodwind player)&lt;br /&gt;5) Meltiest Smile- Azri(Our dearest president, a Trumpeteer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was lots of laughter going on when the result was announced...&lt;br /&gt;Very funny sia...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both committees actually thought that the duration will be quite long...&lt;br /&gt;But it ended early, which was really unexpected...&lt;br /&gt;Then Captain Yusri wanted to conduct Gloriosa, third movement...&lt;br /&gt;Was quite nice lah...&lt;br /&gt;Then had phototaking sessions, lots of photos...&lt;br /&gt;Then packed up everything and left RP...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, I want to thank all committee members for the hardwork and effort...&lt;br /&gt;RP saxophonist...&lt;br /&gt;It has took us a very big effort in making this event a success...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One things I've learned from this event:&lt;br /&gt;Be organised in whatever we do, time management is one of these...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And people, please be discipline...&lt;br /&gt;I know you all are being carried off by the event, but please, if you are required to settle down, please settle down quietly...&lt;br /&gt;And also punctuality...&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure we all know the punctuality habit of some members...&lt;br /&gt;If you know you'll be late, set an alarm, preferrably handphones alarm which is really, really effective...&lt;br /&gt;As early as possible...&lt;br /&gt;Don't set exact timing, give yourself some more time to get prepared...&lt;br /&gt;Sounds a bit 'kiasu', but still have to do it...&lt;br /&gt;Sleep early also...&lt;br /&gt;There are also people who run away because of the games...&lt;br /&gt;I don't want to name names...&lt;br /&gt;Your action really, really makes us the committee members very pissed off...&lt;br /&gt;We had a hard time organising and this is the way you treat it...&lt;br /&gt;That's one of the reason why I'm agitated as well...&lt;br /&gt;Do cooperate...&lt;br /&gt;It's not easy to get things done well if this still goes on...&lt;br /&gt;I, myself was sick, (almost running a fever) very, very sick that I don't feel like going, don't feel like playing the games, don't feel like doing anything...&lt;br /&gt;But I still participate...&lt;br /&gt;(Too agitated to continue now)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At night, I was with the Alumni for their practice...&lt;br /&gt;Was considering whether to play for Alumni or not...&lt;br /&gt;Then went home, still very shack off...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I need to rush all my homework and revise for my Japanese Quiz...&lt;br /&gt;Really crazy leh...&lt;br /&gt;I'm still sick leh...&lt;br /&gt;Torturing sia...&lt;br /&gt;I was so sick that I don't even know my father was behind me...&lt;br /&gt;He even scared me loh...&lt;br /&gt;I shouted sia...&lt;br /&gt;LOL...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, need to rush lots of things now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div

many years and wish to have a good chat and dinner with each other...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, let's start from the very beginning...&lt;br /&gt;Straight after a committee with Mr. Tan...&lt;br /&gt;Yi Yang, Rachel, Ruth, Kenneth &amp;amp; I rushed to the function room to rush our stuffs...&lt;br /&gt;Did up prizes, blowing balloons(I was the only one blowing while Kenneth used the pump), made some crazy stuffs...&lt;br /&gt;Then everything is done, Yi Yang &amp;amp; I went to take charge for the reception, Rachel &amp;amp; Ruth were in the function taking care of the guests...&lt;br /&gt;When the first game started, Yi Yang &amp;amp; I were still at the receptions...&lt;br /&gt;When we were supposed to go up, I thought that everything will turned out good but instead, everything went haywired...&lt;br /&gt;Things which I don't wish to 'say' as I don't want to offend anyone here...&lt;br /&gt;Then was the dinner which took really, really long...&lt;br /&gt;Then the second game, which was a bit much better, but still a bit of the same situation as the first game...&lt;br /&gt;At least even the committee enjoyed ourselves as well...&lt;br /&gt;The committee should know what I mean lah...&lt;br /&gt;I just don't wish to 'say' it here...&lt;br /&gt;Then the presentation of prizes...&lt;br /&gt;Then the photo taking...&lt;br /&gt;Which actually expected to take a long time for everyone to participate...&lt;br /&gt;But when I announced on the microphone that Mr. Yeo needs to take his leave soon, everyone really cooperated...&lt;br /&gt;Took a bit of time but still got what we wanted...&lt;br /&gt;Then it also took a long time for the guests to proceed to Halo Bar as well...&lt;br /&gt;A lot of photo-taking sessions from the main band and lots of crazy moments which I really enjoyed...&lt;br /&gt;Also, Happy Birthday to Ling Li and Lorna(Alumni)...&lt;br /&gt;Sang lots of birthday songs...&lt;br /&gt;Then later did a calculation for the D&amp;amp;D...&lt;br /&gt;It was settled...&lt;br /&gt;Then before I left the Alumni Clubhouse, I almost forgot about my laptop...&lt;br /&gt;Which I left it in the function room...&lt;br /&gt;Luckily, I remembered and rushed back to get it back...&lt;br /&gt;If not, I'm sure going to be 'killed' by my parents...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, everything is over, I can really forget everything about it...&lt;br /&gt;Then went back home and packed Macdonald's for my sister and one large Iced Lemon Tea for my mother...&lt;br /&gt;I reached home at 12.30am and they waited for me, should buy something for them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, for this D&amp;amp;D, I really want to thank the main committee who has been with me since the discussion of this event...&lt;br /&gt;Especially, Yi Yang, Rachel &amp;amp; Ruth...&lt;br /&gt;I know I'm the only junior committee and had done nothing much...&lt;br /&gt;Because things like the proposal for the NPSU is done by Yi Yang...&lt;br /&gt;I was really like a blur toad in this committee and don't know what is all really about...&lt;br /&gt;What NPSU stuffs like that, I was really blur lah...&lt;br /&gt;Only the three of you understand...&lt;br /&gt;I sat down there, only know how to ouh, ouh, ouh...&lt;br /&gt;For this, I really want to apologise, probably I'm still young, I don't really know how all this things function...&lt;br /&gt;And majority of the things were came out by you all, items were also bought and brought from your places...&lt;br /&gt;And I don't think I've put much effort in it...&lt;br /&gt;Is like really...&lt;br /&gt;I felt really sorry...&lt;br /&gt;You have your busy times and still need to commit your time into this event whereas I'm a Year 1 and did lesser things than your...&lt;br /&gt;I'm really guilty...&lt;br /&gt;My commitment, alone, won't compensate your effort and hardwork...&lt;br /&gt;For this, I apologise as well...&lt;br /&gt;Really sorry...&lt;br /&gt;I also thanks Anthony, Walter, Jun Hui and Zui Kiang(sorry if I spelt wrongly), to be with us when we needed help in the event...&lt;br /&gt;Thanks a lot...&lt;br /&gt;Hope tomorrow will be a better day!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/954049347884538499-8234125697669930542?l=jcscband.blogspot.com' alt=''

type='text'>I feel so guilty for my body....</title><content type='html'>Today is such an weird(lucky) day...&lt;br /&gt;This afternoon when I was on my way to school...&lt;br /&gt;I was crossing the road which there was no car at all...&lt;br /&gt;When I reached the MRT station, it left one minute for the train to come when I reached the platform...&lt;br /&gt;Then when I reached Clementi, once I had reached the bus stop, 184 bus which was actually all students' favourite bus came...&lt;br /&gt;Then I reached school, still got time, when to check something...&lt;br /&gt;When for band, everything went prefectly fine...&lt;br /&gt;Just that got one piece really real hard to sight read...&lt;br /&gt;Then meet my sister back at Clementi, then meet our parents at Tampines...&lt;br /&gt;Only see my mother with my younger brother...&lt;br /&gt;My father would picked us later...&lt;br /&gt;We went to eat a bit of Macdonald's...&lt;br /&gt;Then we walked around...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We happened to see durian mooncakes which is like kind of tempting...&lt;br /&gt;Then we even saw mooncakes in the format of the chinese chess...&lt;br /&gt;Actually I wanted to take a photo of it but they said we couldn't...&lt;br /&gt;Then my mother and sister went to see some ladies' clothing while my brother and I went to the guys' section...&lt;br /&gt;Saw lots of nice clothing...&lt;br /&gt;My mother kept offering me whether I want to buy this and buy that...&lt;br /&gt;I kept rejecting...&lt;br /&gt;I know this is very wrong and hurtful to her...&lt;br /&gt;But if I buy, it is very hurtful for me....&lt;br /&gt;(One very simple reason is, I had promise myself that till the day when I had slim down, then I will buy cool clothing....&lt;br /&gt;For now, I just want to cut down all my fats first...&lt;br /&gt;Especially my chest, which my father actually understand how I feel everytime when I wear my clothes and my chest always stands out to be the worse part of all...&lt;br /&gt;And that I want to reduce from there...&lt;br /&gt;(I know whoever reads my blog, after that they will start to observe me which will really give me a great pressure...)&lt;br /&gt;But this reason, my mother doesn't know about it...&lt;br /&gt;I actually just told my father...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then my father came, brought us to East Coast Park for dinner, especially stingray...&lt;br /&gt;But I don't dare to take anything, except a cup of soursop drink and a few sticks of satay...&lt;br /&gt;Then later I will be going off for a night jog...&lt;br /&gt;Maybe alone, maybe with my father...&lt;br /&gt;I don't know...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next monday, I'll be taking over Ms. Ma again...&lt;br /&gt;This day is a pressurising day for me...&lt;br /&gt;A day whether I should be choosing to continue this relief teaching or go for the Red Camp 5 Games Trial...&lt;br /&gt;Both are very important, but after a serious consideration, I decided to go for the relief teaching...&lt;br /&gt;Which I consider as a important one...&lt;br /&gt;Red Camp 5 may add on to my stress when school reopens...&lt;br /&gt;No offense here, but what I said is just my personal opinion and feelings...&lt;br /&gt;I had really decided to give up as Red Camp 5 Student Leader...&lt;br /&gt;That is for no choice...&lt;br /&gt;Life is like that...&lt;br /&gt;There will always be a time whereby you have to make an important decision...&lt;br /&gt;At a most important timing...&lt;br /&gt;I really feel guilty now, for lots of things...&lt;br /&gt;For my body, and for the Ambassadors who had made changes for me but yet I'd decided to gave up...&lt;br /&gt;I'm really terribly sorry, Ambassadors...&lt;br /&gt;I'm really sorry for the trouble that I've made...&lt;br /&gt;No one knows this thing will happened...&lt;br /&gt;I didn't expect this situation...&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry...&lt;br /&gt;Terribly sorry...&lt;br /&gt;Truly sorry...&lt;br /&gt;Especially one of my best friends, Sarah...&lt;br /&gt;Sorry for the trouble, the call in the middle of the night and the changes...&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry....&lt;br /&gt;I'm also hurt now...&lt;br /&gt;My heart is also aching now...&lt;br /&gt;I'm also felt sorry for myself for my terrible weakness...&lt;br /&gt;Till now, then I know that, I'm not fated or destined to become a Student Leader....&lt;br /&gt;I'm not suitable to be one...&lt;br /&gt;Probably...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

position for a week as she needs to attend to something...&lt;br /&gt;She knew my condition that I didn't receive the MOE letter after I'd done my Relief Teaching Online Registration...&lt;br /&gt;Just yesterday, I have checked online that actually MOE had already approved my application...&lt;br /&gt;It just that there's no need me to receive any letter from MOE...&lt;br /&gt;I was feeling so stupid lah...&lt;br /&gt;But I'm happy that I'd finally got a relief teaching job already...&lt;br /&gt;As for the pay, it is confidential...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This wednesday,

type='text'>Teacher's Day Celebration...</title><content type='html'>Hi Everyone!&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday had a perfect day...&lt;br /&gt;It was my school's Teachers' Day Celebration...&lt;br /&gt;Well, it started out with my class first...&lt;br /&gt;I went back to my old class, 2T2...&lt;br /&gt;Gave them the test...&lt;br /&gt;Well, just as I expected, no full marks too...&lt;br /&gt;Just to be updated for myself, there are about only 21 full marks from both Sec 1 &amp;amp; Sec 2...&lt;br /&gt;Both section of Conversational Chinese &amp;amp; Malay...&lt;br /&gt;It was like kind of sad that there's no full marks coming out from the Normal Technical stream...&lt;br /&gt;Even for the Sec 2...&lt;br /&gt;Kind of disappointing...&lt;br /&gt;Well, but majority actually passed...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then later back to staffroom...&lt;br /&gt;Was like somehow nothing to do...&lt;br /&gt;Was playing the 'soccer toy' with Mrs. Jean Wong's son, Kai Jie...&lt;br /&gt;He was really kind of cute when playing with him...&lt;br /&gt;By the way, he's only 6 years old...&lt;br /&gt;He kept screaming and screaming which got attention from his mother...&lt;br /&gt;Haha...&lt;br /&gt;He even cheated by using hands to play...&lt;br /&gt;Quite funny at times...&lt;br /&gt;But he's a kid, so I let him...&lt;br /&gt;Then I used my laptop for a while...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then times come...&lt;br /&gt;Our HOD, Principal &amp;amp; Vice-Principal had came up to the staffroom to tell to go to the hall for the celebration...&lt;br /&gt;Then we all got out according to their form class...&lt;br /&gt;Only me and a few teachers were at the back because we got no form class...&lt;br /&gt;We got up to the stage...&lt;br /&gt;Had a full teacher photo...&lt;br /&gt;And recited the Teachers' Pledge which I didn't expect myself to be there...&lt;br /&gt;Then we went to our seats...&lt;br /&gt;A few band performances at the beginning...&lt;br /&gt;Then the Caring &amp;amp; Inspiring Teachers Award was hosted by Ms. Wong Soh Yee...&lt;br /&gt;Then the last two dance performances...&lt;br /&gt;And later was the 'Match Baby-To-Teachers' Contest...&lt;br /&gt;Was really funny when babies photo was being shown up on the screen...&lt;br /&gt;Even the teenage photo was shown as well...&lt;br /&gt;That's the most funny parts...&lt;br /&gt;Then received a gift from the Student Councillors...&lt;br /&gt;Was really heartwarming...&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, students!&lt;br /&gt;Though I know I'm fierce, in the sense that I'm strict...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At night, went to find my father at his working place and went for a very late dinner which was like at 10pm plus already...&lt;br /&gt;We ate at this Changi Road(not village), a very big hawker centre...&lt;br /&gt;Lots of stalls are opened but kind of disappointing...&lt;br /&gt;Firstly, my sister and I went to look for Chicken Rice but it was closed...&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, we went to look for herbal chicken, the stall is opened but herbal chicken has been sold out for the day...&lt;br /&gt;Thirdly, we went to look for Bak Kut Teh...&lt;br /&gt;Got Bak Kut Teh, but no rice...&lt;br /&gt;Out of desperation, we go to the western food...&lt;br /&gt;Then you know what?&lt;br /&gt;My father ordered a Bak Kut Teh without telling us...&lt;br /&gt;So sian...&lt;br /&gt;We even bought Satay and Fried Oyster...&lt;br /&gt;The Satay was really hard to bite lah...&lt;br /&gt;I don't take Fried Oyster as I don't like the taste of it...&lt;br /&gt;Then had my slept at 12 plus...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is the last day of 'Hungry Ghost Festival'...&lt;br /&gt;By today midnight, the 'Ghost Gate' will be closing and people's heart will soon be at peace...&lt;br /&gt;For children and some teenagers, 'Hungry Ghost Festival' is a very scary period whereby they scared that they will see 'things' at night...&lt;br /&gt;To me, you don't commit any evil deeds, they won't harm you one...&lt;br /&gt;Even if there's one(if you have done nothing wrong), can say 'Hello' to them...&lt;br /&gt;That was taught to me by my Secondary 2 chinese teacher, Mdm Wong...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, once the 'Gate' is closed, it will be over...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next week is the September holidays...&lt;br /&gt;I'm not really well-planned for this...&lt;br /&gt;The only current plan is playing mahjong with Jasper, the girls and Zheng Bang...&lt;br /&gt;Then band practices only...&lt;br /&gt;After that, the next three weeks, CCM is still continuing for the Secondary 2...&lt;br /&gt;Also I had additional job which is going to 4E2 and 4E3 class to help out for their chinese...&lt;br /&gt;4E4, I'm still waiting for Mr. Yip's reply...&lt;br /&gt;Second week of September will be a games trial for the Red Camp 5 Students Leader who had signed up, including me...&lt;br /&gt;Then if selected, there will be this Student Leaders Camp on 8-10 October...&lt;br /&gt;I don't really mind getting in or not...&lt;br /&gt;I had already thought through...&lt;br /&gt;Even if I don't get in, I still can concentrate on my study...&lt;br /&gt;If I get in, I can get to enjoy myself...&lt;br /&gt;Ok, that's all update I think...&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully this September Holiday will go faster...&lt;br /&gt;haha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye...&lt;div

was actually quite fun lah...&lt;br /&gt;Then we chatted at a area for a while before going to the next section which they called the 'service' thing...&lt;br /&gt;It was quite interesting lah...&lt;br /&gt;Then jokes here and there when this thing going on...&lt;br /&gt;Then I left kind of early...&lt;br /&gt;Meet my family at Ang Mo Kio Hub...&lt;br /&gt;Ate Fish &amp;amp; Co. until

type='text'>Zhang Shuang, we'll always miss you...</title><content type='html'>Time for another sad moment(particularly for me)....&lt;br /&gt;张爽(Zhang Shuang), a Pipa player from 12 Girls Band is leaving...&lt;br /&gt;And is replaced by another player called Shi Juan...&lt;br /&gt;It's really, truly sad...&lt;br /&gt;She has always been the representative for the band...&lt;br /&gt;When comes to concert in Japan, she has always been the one representing the band to speak to the audience in Japanese...&lt;br /&gt;She always has the sweetest and brightest smile when comes to performing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This news was not reported or in the newspaper...&lt;br /&gt;But it has been told in one of the videos(in youtube) which actually dedicated this song to her...&lt;br /&gt;When I first listen to the song, I was really, totally touched by it and really felt that it was a really great song for her...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>Obsessed with Flight Of The Bumble Bee...</title><content type='html'>Hi Everyone!!!&lt;br /&gt;Yeah!!!&lt;br /&gt;Just finished my exams yesterday...&lt;br /&gt;Now I can really concentrate on my music...&lt;br /&gt;With the 2 months vacation, I can really do whatever I want...&lt;br /&gt;Well, in fact, these 2 months vacation is really quite busy as well...&lt;br /&gt;But busy with stuffs that I like...&lt;br /&gt;My teaching, my band...&lt;br /&gt;Oh how I missed my band!&lt;br /&gt;Also, will be going for Red Camp 5 SL games trial just to see whether I can be part of Red Camp 5 SL or not...&lt;br /&gt;Well, now when I come to think of it...&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't really matter if i can get into SL or not...&lt;br /&gt;If yes, I can get to enjoy myself...&lt;br /&gt;If not, I still can focus on my studies...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the teaching part, Mdm Yong has given me extra job...&lt;br /&gt;I was so delighted to received these extra jobs...&lt;br /&gt;Going into the Sec 4E2/3 classes to help out...&lt;br /&gt;Though I don't have the right to teach them as I'm not a official teacher, but that's the least I can do for my juniors to prepare for their 'O' Levels...&lt;br /&gt;Also, I can get to see my CSS band and NP concert band members...&lt;br /&gt;I'm currently trying to pick up a flute, for whose who don't know...&lt;br /&gt;I'm just started picking up only, so will be taking quite some time to master it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, for no reason...&lt;br /&gt;I got obsessed with Flight Of The Bumble Bee...&lt;br /&gt;Actually I'm sure a lot of people knows this piece...&lt;br /&gt;For non-musicians, maybe you know the music but not the title...&lt;br /&gt;Nevermind...&lt;br /&gt;Here 2 videos of this song...&lt;br /&gt;One is played by a orchestra, for band members, do observe the running notes of the flutes, violins and the other instruments...&lt;br /&gt;The other one is sang by an adult choir which actually performed an Acapella, for choir lovers, do observe the soprano and alto singers' mouth and listen to each and every singer's articulations of each note and tone...&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure you'll be impressed as well...&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie"

crazy...&lt;br /&gt;Crazy to the extent of not realising that National Day is just a few hours away...&lt;br /&gt;It's true actually...&lt;br /&gt;Well Thursday, I got my Internetworking Laboratory re-test...&lt;br /&gt;It was easy lah...&lt;br /&gt;But when come to the final written test, I screwed it up...&lt;br /&gt;Today, same thing...&lt;br /&gt;Subrina and I was really stressed up by the Mini-Project...&lt;br /&gt;We had really used up most of our time and energy into this project...&lt;br /&gt;Before we thought it was finished, Mr. Yap told us that everything must be in 'function'(a topic in our Computer Programme module)...&lt;br /&gt;We were like (really want to scold bad words already)...&lt;br /&gt;Speechless...&lt;br /&gt;Okay, fine, we redo this whole thing...&lt;br /&gt;We sacrifice the time to study for Computer Programming Laboratory test to redo the project all over again....&lt;br /&gt;And finally, we managed to finish it this evening after the laboratory test...&lt;br /&gt;Speak of the Laboratory test, I screwed it up as well, just like what I did for my final written Internetworking test...&lt;br /&gt;Our lecturer kept 'complaining' in the laboratory that 'why you never listen to the lesson'...&lt;br /&gt;Blah...blah...blah...&lt;br /&gt;To almost everyone one of us...&lt;br /&gt;It's not that we're not paying attention, it's just too confusing lah, okay?&lt;br /&gt;We even sacrificed the time to revise, to do our project and other stuffs...&lt;br /&gt;Of course, you can't expect us to know and understand everything at one go mah...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, enough of this...&lt;br /&gt;Time to cool down now...&lt;br /&gt;It's all over, and I don't want to talk about it anymore...&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, in just less than an hours' time will be Singapore's Birthday!&lt;br /&gt;Happy 43rd Birthday, Singapore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got to go le...bye!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
