CHRISTmas...

20 MORE HOURS!!! approximately...

now... christmas, the time where people celebrate a season of giving, exchanging presents and the birth of Christ.. but one thing which many people do not know.. we all know that this isnt the exact date which Jesus was borned, and nobody knows when... not many people know that the date of Christmas, but the day itself came from pagan origins, which is disgusting when you look deeper into it...

The origin of this festivity is presumed to be Mithraic and about 4000 years old. Mithra was the god of light in ancient Iran. The symbol of Mithra is Sun. Iranians used this symbol in their flag for at least the last 2500 years. The period of 17th to 24th of December was the duration of this feast. The 21st of December, which is the solstice of winter, is still celebrated in Iran. It is called “Yalda” and it represents the victory of light over darkness, which symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. Mithraism was brought to Europe by Greek soldiers after the defeat of the Persians by Alexander and by the forth century AD it was the predominant religion of Europe and the main rival to Christianity. The worship of Mithra spread throughout Asia to Europe where he was called Deus Sol Invictus Mithras. Romans adopted this festivity to celebrate the god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god during the winter solstice. The winter holiday became known as Saturnalia and began the week prior to December 25th. The festival was characterized by gift-giving, feasting, singing and the priests of Saturn called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.

ok.. i copied this whole arcticle from http://www.faithfreedom.org/oped/sina21224.htm ... dun tell dr kan.. =p
yea... the evergreen boughs are also those circle leafs thingy you hang on your door...

easter is also of pagan origins.

The (Easter) bunny, the oldest pagan symbol of fertility - Semiramis - has absolutely NOTHING to do with the birth of Christ.

well, not that i'm against these festivals, but we have to make sure that all of us celebrates these seasons with a right heart, a heart that will honour God... i myself am against the idea of these festivals because it is not of the word of God but of pagan origins... HOWEVER, we could still use these dates as a remembrance of Jesus, His sacrifice for us, instead of for plain fun and fun alone.. oh wells...

leaving tomorrow night!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! snow snow snow snow snow snow!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............

dunno if i can get gifts for you guys.. no $$$... haha... but will try... in case i do not make it back alive, which i doubt so, i wanna tell you guys that God is everything... you may not believe in Him now, but it doesnt mean you wont in the future.. you have a chance, grab it when its there... well, that sounds very final, as if i'm dying for sure, but i'm not taking any chances... haha...

oh wells... cya around guys... next year perhaps... maybe i may even blog later in the afternoon when i have time...

enjoy!@!$&%$#

ABCD...

48 HOURS LEFT!!!

performing at esplanade park tomorrow night from 5.30-8pm.. come come!! its free! its from the singapore youth for christ, the one which wei kang went for, but this time at esplanade park.. haha.. F-I-N-L-A-N-D

aniwaes, packed 98% of my stuffs already, the remaining consists of my toothbrush, toothpaste, gel, laundry bag, erm, what else, my wedding coat, which is with my bro... i think thats it... have to bring a whole bunch of books for my sis, if not my bags will be much lighter... the worst thing is that i dont have my cd player with me.. =(
its with my grandfather... long story that one is...

anyways, i heard both my bro's and dad's students won 1st place in the violin competition, the junior and intermediate category.. haha... expected... =p

my dad kinda scolded me for doing things at the last minute today, which i don't think so... i was outside with my church friends, and he said that i should be home packing my bags... oh wells, not against him or anything, and i don't like to dishonour my parents, but i think i know what i'm doing, and i can handle things myself.. i sure don't need them to worry about the way i do things... i guess sometimes he just cant trust me enough, cause sometimes things happen when we overlook them, so i guess i don't blame him... but things ended well today...

oh, and i got my school results back today.. wah liew... very weird lehz.. i scored badly for some subjects which i did quite well, i think...

music technology - A
study skills - B
concert attendance - D (!!!) i should have scored well for this!!
performance projects - B
harmony - D (!!!) expected to fail.. haha...
history - C (!!!) i thought i got a B!!
aural and sightsinging - C
principle study - cello - B (!!!) higher than expected...
string studies - B

credit attempted- 20
credit point - 52
credit earned - 20

hahaa.... oh, in case you're curious, D is a pass instead of C... not secondary school anymore.. and i have no idea how the credit thingy works... oh wells, i'm really surprised i passed everything, and the honour has to go to God... wouldnt have done it without Him..

okay... jwen leaving tomorrow evening, evan in penang, and i'm leaving on sunday night... my flight is at 2355... anybody wanna send me off? =p

enjoy#@!$

$500!!

2 MORE DAYS!!!

went to get my passport today.. sooo new and clean... i damaged my previous one coz i left it in the washing machine.. bleah...

went winter shopping too... bought a number of stuffs, and my dad spent around $500 worth of winter stuffs... we bought this thermal pants, which is like a very very thin pyjamas pants, and guess how much does each cost... $63!!! wah lau... for that pants!!!?? from italy they say... doh! aniwaes, bought ski gloves too, and wool socks, and a woolen sweater... haha...

not sure if i'm going to the violin competition finals later.. so early in the morning.. my bro's and dad's student got in, intermediate and junior respectively... haha... my dad said from the looks of it, both of them should get 1st... they're siblings btw.. can help but notice that not a single nafa violin joined the competition.. haha.. sianz... wait til they have a cello competition, then, muahahahaa.... well, on second thought, i never really liked competitions... it puts me down watching people play so well.. crappo... inferiority complex... besides, playing is all about character, and the judges' decision is not always the best... they should have a vote, like american idol or something... haha...

but singaporean youths nowadays, haiz... just dunno how to appreciate classical music... well, get this, without classical music, pop, rock, jazz, new age, whatever you can think of, wont be here... classical music was the step to refining music, the time where music is controlled by laws so that it will be called MUSIC... scratching records, people screaming and electrical sounds are not music, they are called noise, it is not natural... well, anyways, whatever...

2 more days man... 2 more days.................

enjoy#@%$#@

Merica...

and they couldnt help themselves from touching my lightsaber... oh, talking about it, we were trying to make a short movie clip using my lightsaber... haha... we only managed to make one, with me being the cameraman... i'll try to upload it one of these days.. its quite dumb... they kept hitting my cardboard and my ceiling light, and i almost broke it... oh wells..

i need to go winter shopping soon, got lots of winter wear to get before leaving for the states... anybody wanna join? haha... probably not...

ooook... nothing else here...

enjoy#!$#@

Cothen...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........
6 more days to america!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... too good to be true...

aniwaes, played for singapore youth for christ yesterday, and wei kang came to watch it... he thought he was tricked into coming, but it was actually his own mistake... haha... it went quite well, but the a capella group went a little out of tune after awhile... oh wells... then took a cab home for my house concert which my dad organised... on the way home, my dad called me and told me i have to play something... !!! wah liew... the concert is like 3 hours away?? so bo bian lorh... nothing to play.. no pianist to accompany me also, so muz play bach suite.. haha.. getting sick of that song liao... so, during the performance, i told the audience a little about bach and his suites, and i told them he wrote it in cothen... right??? i mean, he wrote it in cothen right??? please tell me that i'm right... wait... i go check my history portfolios to see if i'm right.........................................................

YES!!! I'M RIGHT!!! HE WROTE IT IN COTHEN!!! AHHHHHHHHHH.... i'm juz good... =p

anyways, i learnt a huge lesson from that performance... NEVER ever, and i mean EVER, put rosin on your bow without trying it out again after putting it... i did it.. the bow's resistance was not what i expected to be and weird sounds came from the strings... and it was hard to control my bow... just wasnt used to the sudden change of resistance after putting on the rosin... oh wells... yong rui joined us too, and i played a trick on him.. haha.. i told him that my dad said he had to play something... and he had totally nothing to play... and he panicked.. hahahaa... he was like searching all my piano scores for songs to sight-read... so he found out that he didnt need to... drats...

as for today, played basketball with my friends... haha... lost to a team of girls, 11-10... their shooting is really good, and they are from some school team from some jc... had some unhealthy bodily contact too... haiz... just not used to playing contact sports with girls.. oh wells... haha... no, i'm not a chauvanist pig, at least not now...

probably...

enjoy!@#!

The Universe...

wowwwwwwww....
oh man... went to audrey's birthday party today.. haha... ate a lot for the bbq... it was really fun.. and i juzt realised today that i didnt like beer, but i already opened a bottle of heineken, so i have no choice but to finish it... well, it appears that audrey's brother, martin, admires me.. ahaaa... ok.. maybe i think too much.. bhb... but it appears that he holds me in quite a high position.. haha... when i entered his house, he wanted me to play a piece on tommy's cello, and i just didnt know what to play... haha.. so i was playing crappy stuff, a little of bach's suite, a little of haydn... he's quite a nice guy, but i guess he's a little down about his ability on the violin.. he's only sec 1, and he's taking grade 7 already... and he says he's not as good compared to tommy, his brother.. i mean, man, if that's bad, look at me man... took grade 8 at sec 4, my siblings were at the states at my age, and here i am, studying at nafa in singapore... oh wells, in any case, lets just see how it goes for me in the future...

aniwaes, after the bbq, the gang lied down beside the pool and gazed at the night sky... it is sooooooooo amazing... i found so many stars which i never knew was there! i realised that theres actually a small cluster of stars, the size of ur thumb if you were to point it toward the sky with your arm out-stretched, that was made up of 6 or more stars! it is soo amazing!

wow... as we gazed through the sky, something struck my mind.. wow.. isnt the universe amazing? there has to be a creator behind it! and that is God! i mean, there isnt any other way to explain the creation of everything in this universe! the big bang? what was it before the big bang? something had to be there! even stephen hawking doesnt know what was there before it! everything we see here, the universe, earth, plants, humans, millions and billions of stars, made by God! i mean, wow! you cant say that we evolved from apes... the theory isnt even proven at all! it simply says that all animals came from a simple cell, and it evolved to what is known as us today.. why do they say that? because all of the animals had a common part of their body that links to the rest, example, the sealion used to have legs, but they developed fins because they seldom used their legs, but the evidence of their legs are in their bone structure, which are also similar to whales and dolphins, etc... then let me ask you one thing, if i were to use a lego set to create 2 different animals, lets say a human, and a horse, and i used a blue piece on both figures, does that mean they came from one piece and became two different spieces of lego figures? no! in fact, it is also saying that there is a creator who uses the same piece in his creations! i mean, ok, i think many of you wont understand what i'm saying, but basically, evolution is rubbish... it is not even a proven and fool-proof theory and the world is adopting it as if it was a fact... it is not... and there is only another possibility of our existence, and that is God.. the only reason why many people do not adopt this idea is because they don't like it, or they do not believe in it... well, whether you like it or not, or whether you believe it or not, its true... what you think doesnt change the fact... look around you.. the fact that the earth is sooo perfect for supporting life... the exact amount of sunlight, which even a 1% difference in it will destroy life, the distance between earth and the sun, which is also put to absolute accuracy for life, everything, was made for us to live! it is not by chance that some explosion made this piece of rock alive, or that we evolved from some microscopic organism... the structure of our dna is so complex and perfect, that it has to be designed by someone or something, which is God!!!

oh wells, i hope none of you are offended by this post... just telling you what i believe in... i mean, there is no way that the universe does not point to God... if you would like to prove me wrong, i am more than pleased to discuss it with you.. ^^ but i do not mean to offend anybody k? this is a darn sensitive topic, so dont sue me!!

enjoy~!~ (if u can)

Slacking...

ooook....
she's not angry anymore... haiz... i'm not going to make the same stupid mistake again... never.... well, in any case, sorry about everything...

oh well... went out today... watched zathura with my friends... it was really good.. haha... its almost exactly like jumanji, but its space this time instead of jungle stuffs... its really good and funny.. but its just a little predictable.. like you kinda know what will save them next, you know? yea... spoils the excitement... but its still good!

anyways, helped chien han with his mmm (?) project, which was to create a website about a topic.. and he chose "undiscovered talents: music".. hahaa... and he's using me as the main subject.. ahahaa... actually he should do on people like andris or ike, but he has no choice but to do me.. haha... thats why i had to like take pictures of the cello section with his camera yesterday after the concert.. and now he wants all the newspaper articles i have about my family... =.= oh wells... all the best... you need it when you involve me in your project.. haha... =p

oh wells... things going on in my mind... too many things to think about... if i were to type it, it may offend quite a number of people, and it is just tooooooooooo looooooooong... so i guess i have quite a lot of thinking and self-reflection to do... i guess i have pray about it to solve it... i cant do it on my own... sigh...

yep... dats it...

enjoy!@!

End!!! For Now...

hehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
had a great day today, more or less... first of all, i had a concert yesterday (friday), with the artyfakt thingy... i played quite badly... argh! i couldnt believe it! i keep losing count of the bars and i played out of tune!!! its one of the worst concerts i've played in my life... i hated it... we were playing baroque music again... haiz... but at least i'm getting paid for it... then i hung out with some of my church friends... they came to watch the concert, but 1 of them was sleeping.. haha.. oh well...

feeling down now... haiz... shall explain later...

aniwaes, for happier news, the snyo concert today was really really really great and fun!!! my most enjoyable and fun concert i've played so far in my life... we played glinka's overture, glasnouv violin concerto, tchaikovsky symphony no.2, leroy anderson's christmas medly and some carols... it was really fun... ike played very well, and people gave him flowers and soft toys... haha... it was too many for him to carry... he was given about 2 or 3 bouquets of flowers and 2 soft toys, which was a winnie-the-pooh piglet and something else which i cant remember... and on the way back to the backstage, he dropped the piglet... haha... after the whole concert, we were playing some carols, and some of the snyo board of directors came to play along with us... hahaa... i didnt know they could play... they used to be in the singapore youth orchestra back in 1969 along with mr lim... hahaha... memories... so the audience was singing along with us, well, more or less... we could hear them... we were given a huge amount of applause, a long one, and so some people in the snyo suggested to play an encore, which was the glinka overture again, coz it was a really fast paced song... so we played it agian, this time much faster than what we played the first time... half-way through the song, mr lim walked down the conductor's platform and stood directly behind me... it was really special.. it wasnt something anyone would do during a concert.. maybe he wanted to show the people that we could play without him... maybe... haha.. i thought he was heading towards the wind and brass section, but while i was playing, i heard some breathing sounds, like those made of a conductor or player... then i turned around and i saw his looming figure behind me... wah lau... was shocked la... he was holding on to my chair somemore... we did well for the beginning of the encore, but we kinda screw up in the middle because of a stupid reason... we didnt know when to come in because our dear clarinetist wasnt there... that daniel, also the same daniel from nafa... he only had to play the overture for the night, and he left for home i guess after that piece... and we didnt have him in the encore... ahahaa... so i didnt know when to come in... aniwaes, we managed to scrape through it.. and we were given a huge applause from the audience again... at least i thought it was... haha... oh wells...

so after the whole thing, my friend and i went to meet some of the snyo guys at bakerzin at the merlion area... things there are too expensive, but i spent like $16 there, not including service charge and gst, which was like 15%... bleah... haiz... now to tell you why i'm down... we were making fun of someone, and i should have kept my big mouth shut... i told someone a little about it, and i'm not willing to tell her the rest, in order to keep some people's identity a secret... and now she's angry with me... haiz... ehz, dun angry larh.. its just a joke k? it nothing serious, please... i dont like to make my friends angry... so now i'm down, not knowing what to do...

*sigh*

Screwy...

bleeeeeeeeeeee.....
busy for the next few days... soo many performances coming up... haha... today's syo prac, only 6 cellos turned up, and our dear sectional leader wasnt with us, so junjie had to take over... hahahaa... stress arh... and i got pushed forward to 2nd desk.. haiyo... i sit there can feel mr lim's aura liaoz... scary.. he was quite happy today, unlike on tuesday, which some people told... he was mad...

aniwaes... haiz... nothing to talk about.. .theres something in my mind about what audrey said in her blo,g but i lazy to type.. haha.. tomorrow then, maybe, probably, possibly...

Enjoy!~
