Pride Rock...

ooooh i just can't wait to be king........

ooooh yes... bought cds today... 5 disney soundtracks (orginal of course) for $19.90.. the catch? its from china, with chinese words on the cover... another catch? when i ripped them into my computer, all the titles are wrong.. so i have to spend like 10 minutes renaming them...

well, some of you were asking whats up with the conductor who pissed me off... he came to conduct my school's string ensemble.. he doesnt like people to write things on their scores, if it is already on the score... he doesnt like us to circle the dynamics... well, thats irritating... he always scolds us for not following the dynamics... why? because the dynamics are not catching our attention, and we circle them so that we notice them... and he doesnt want us to do so.. i mean, yes, he is training us to read the score properly, but sometimes if circling them works, why not? nothing wrong? he says that if we circle them, our brain will take more time to process the circle, what we wrote on the score, the given dynamics, bowing, etc, and by the time we did those, its too late to play it properly... i mean, come on!! even professional orchestras write things on their scores rite?? =.= there are other things about him, but i wont bother typing it out...

oh well, i'm over it anway... i guess i should apologise to the cello section.. i have been giving them the black face that day... but for those who knows me well, even when i have a black face, i wont vent my anger on anybody who talks to me.. so feel free to talk to me even if i look pissed... hahaa...

on lighter things, i went to kl with the new music ensemble on sunday til tuesday.. we were supposed to represent Singapore in some international music conference held in kl... i never really had that lots of fun since i went to america... we watched pirates of the caribbean there, and we were like checking our seats for HIV-infected needles just in case.. hahaa... the urban legend.. well, it goes like this.. there was a girl who went to watch a movie in malaysia, and when she sat on her seat, she felt a very sharp pain in her butt... she looked down and saw a syringe(?).. then the person sitting beside her said "welcome to the hiv family".... sure enough, she went for a check-up, and it was positive.. omg..... traumatising yea...

yea.. i loved that movie.. the plot is not bad, and the twist was really a twist.. cool... oh yea! we saw this car advertisement in the cinema... it goes like this...

PROTON 101




wah lau.. ahahaaaa... when we saw that, jeremy, jeremiah, yunqi and i burst out laughing like mad... hahahahhahahahaa.... oh welll.... our hotel was located just 5 mins walk away from the twin towers... cool? its less that 5 mins walk from where we are performing too... and its a 4 or 5 star hotel too... and i stole one of their tequila shot glasses.. haha... its free anyway...

my plan backfired to celebrate ee wei's birthday there... at first she was thinking of celebrating yunqi's birthday, which has already passed last week, and ee wei's birthday is on the 20th of july... so she planned to celebrate yunqi's birthday.. so i bluffed her that we are, and we are going to buy a cake.. so i told yunqi that we are celebrating ee wei's birthday instead... and i told her to tell the rest.. uh, apparently they didnt get the message... so in the end, they ended up singing the birthdat song for yunqi instead... actually for both, but yea.. the plan was foiled...

we only ate good food there.. mainly from the hotel's restaurant, which is 24 hours open... their satay is GOOOOOOD!!! juicy and tender!! omgomg... especially the beef one... wah lau!! cant find it in singapore la... the problem is their satay sauce isnt nice enough...

i didnt buy much there.. just bought a couple of mpo (malaysian philharmonic orchestra) cds and quite a bunch of tidbits... dr goh paid for quite a lot of our food.. it must have cost a bomb for him... well, he's one interesting fellow... funny too... should get to know him.. hahaa..

my mother bought me a pair of oakley sunglasses too... $400+.... well, i told her i didnt really need to spend that money to buy it, but she insisted.. she said as long as i dont lose it or spoil it, its worth it.. healthy eyes are more important.. so i gave in.. =p
but really, some times i think i've been neglecting my parents nowadays... should spend more time with them... will see what i can do...

the question still remains... to be or not to be... haiz...
