Blee Blee Blahh Blooo Bleeeeee......
havent blogged for a few days, many days... ahaaa... i wonder who still reads my blog... i'm in school now and yong rui is blogging beside me, and he's using as many ............................................ as usual...
have been receiving many requests to play their compositions for next week exams.. its as usual.. always the week before the exam that the requests start pouring in...
going for syo rehearsal later, probably gonna be killed by mr lim... we're playing brahm's symphony no. 2, and the second movement is a killer for the cello section... huge solo all the way... bleah... with so many sharps...
had dinner with the gang yesterday, and we were discussing about our lecturers in school... ahahaa... it was very very very very very funny... we were talking about the drs. in our school, kan, goh and tan... and we noticed that they behaved in a certain manner... like dr tan, she's always munching on something outside class... always... just like brad pitt in ocean's eleven... ahaha... and dr goh and kan, too many things about them... ahahaaa... none of them bad though, so dont worry... oh, talking about them, dr goh said he read both mine and wei kang's blogs, but not really on a regular basis... ahaa... better stop saying bad things about him now... =p
i'm having blogger's block right now... nothing much to blog... oh, jeremy and wilbur are gonna leave syo after this concert... crappo.. that means only andris, ruo lin and i will be the remaining older generation of cellists... the rest will be the younger ones...
and good news, my peeling is gonna stop anytime!!! i've had terrible sunburn for the past few weeks from swimming with samuel and yong rui at jurong east... its really fun there, and we're gonna go there again soon... this time with sun lotion...
thats all i can think of and i'm gonna practice now.. will try to update as much as i can...

Finally...
back to blog... was quite lazy to blog for the past 2 weeks or so... got quite a lot to say, but its all in the past already, so no point...
i'm really really really sian at home now, with nothing to do... haiz... wei kang and yong rui going to watch chingay at amk later.. watch it last night at orchard already, so i doubt i will be going later... oh, i remembered something.. i saw jeniffer lopez at boston when i was in the states.. haha.. ok, that was so random...
i have nothing to blog, except that i got a new handphone... my n-gage was just too bulky and its quite irritating because of the rubber strip that keeps coming off and sometimes the phone itself is prone to crashing... i had to repair it twice for some dumb malfunction the phone had... oh wells...

INFECTED!!!
fine then... so i'm supposed to name out 5 weird things about myself and pass the infection to 5 other people... cant really think of any, cause i am more or less perfectly normal... will try to name out some although some of them arent weird...
1. yes, the same as jovan and wei kang, i'm a right-handed person but i wear my watch on my right wrist...
2. i have never learnt how to use the chopstick the right way, so i have been using it my way for the past, erm, 13 years or less of my life...
3. out of the 3 children in my family, i was the only child who was planned out... my bro and sis were accidentals... apparently accidental children are more talented than the 'planned' child...
4. i never liked anyone touching my shoulders... it is one of the most sensitive part of my upper body... for some reason... i dont like massages on them too... i get earghyiryeryag whenever that happens...
5. and the weirdest thing is that i dont really have anything weird about me... weird...
so there.... now i shall choose my victims...
LESLIE
ANDRIS
THE BEANARIAN
SENG FU
NING
ok... i know some of them wont do it... but who cares... just pass it on for the fun of it...
just had dinner, and spilled some lotus soup on myself... =.=

How?
was tidying my room and balcony just now... throwing lots of things away, especially my secondary school books.. yes, its not disposed off yet, for now... probably in a few days time... lots of memories came back... the things beanarian and i thought of while in school... the kkk drawings are still here... hahaa... its crappy to even think of it... my archie comics were everywhere... well, i'm taking it easy... little by little...
haiz... and then, the sad part came... well, to me at least... recovered the snyo programme booklets for previous concerts... was looking through all of them... then i looked at the very first concert i played in the main, the one when we played dvorak's no.9... zhangyi and andris were playing their concertos... and i read their resumes... crap... i was lost for words... well, to sum it up, they are geniuses... well, you guys will definitely know by now how i would be feeling... inferior... i'm not jealous or anything, but crap man, how am i songing to be like them? i mean not only saying about these 2, but the rest of the world? ahhhh!!! how how how how how how how??? how in the world am i going to be a good cellist? looking at myself now, its like, like, bleah...... i seriously dont know how my future is going to be... i dont see myself as a good player at all... AT ALL!!!
well, to heck with it... i need some assurance of some sort, anything to gain my confidence back... somehow somewhere someone sometime.... i hate saying this, but i've got inferiority complex... it sucks at the thought of it...

Art?
in school now... just came back from singapore arts scene at an exhibition near my school... this very very fragile-looking artist who makes granite sculptures and some charcoal paintings... well, they are interesting, but i wouldnt call them art... to me, art has to have a definition... if art is limitless, then my computer is an art, my toilet bowl is an art, my room which is messed up is an art too... modernists think that art can be art if you were to create it with your emotions or drawing something from another deformed perspective... thats rubbish i think... if using your emotions is making art, then i am the greatest artist to have ever lived! i can just take a white canvas paper, splat it with red paint and say "oh! this is representing the chaos of humanity! the power and violence and blood that mankind have brought to this pure world!" thats really the biggest rubbish ever... and if drawing a deformed object is art, then i can also be an artist... i shall draw a person with a one-sided face with an eye below his mouth and his mose at his ear... really... modernists' ideas are ruining the definition of art... although i havent found the true definition, i personally think art is something which is a form where a natural object or scene is portrayed with its original and PROPER dimensions where the audience will know the object once they take a look at it... the reason why art is now deformed to modernists' proportions is because artists are always looking for new ways to portray their feelings or the environment... well, the finest of art is done and over... the masters have reached the highest point of art, just like stradivarius have reached the highest point of instrument-making.. face it, the best of its time has passed... the only thing artists can do now is either copy the masters, or make a new breakthrough... i'm not saying modernist art are not nice... i'm saying they are not art, but that doesnt mean it is not nice... well... enough crap about art...
i was totally down yesterday for some reason... when i went for syo rehearsal, i suddenly dreaded my own playing... i have no confidence in my playing again... compared to others, i am nothing more than a little green pea to them... i don't know... what do others think of my playing? what does mr lim think of it? well... i don't know.... so i was like crapped out yesterday evening... haiz...
well, in any case, ii'm getting over it, but it will definitely stay in me for a long time... bleah...

Three Tranced Mice...
back to blogging.... i figured i would let my blog settle down after loading up those pics... well, in any case, not much have happened for the past week... wednesdays are as busy as usual, if not worse... and homework is already piling up...
i cut my hair again on sunday, and i look weird... again... today was pretty interesting though... it was music platform and it was the music tech's students' turn this week... they were practically playing sounds which they have edited and recorded down and compiliing it into an idea of sounds... the pretty interesting one was ryan's one, which depicts a first-person's point of view in the bombing of london last year on the 7th of july... he even made the sounds heard when we play our mp3 or discman! it is really cool... and of course, not forgetting our own composer in year 1... lu heng composed a techno piece, which was a variation of the song three blind mice... it is soooooooooooooo nice!! probably the only techno i will ever like.. ever... it is really really cool... ahahaa... i'm gonna ask him to send it to me...
well, got meself a lotr necklace, or rather a choker coz i didnt expect it to be so short... =.= but the gang said it was just right, so, its just right i guess... yep...
thats all i can think of to blog now... gonna get screwed tomorrow... didnt do harmony homework coz i totally forgot about it... bleah... and i think my auntie threw my moa citations away... eargh!!! nvm... i'm sure dr kan will understand.......
i hope...

The Trip...
figured how to post pics already.. well, i shall show you what i did in the states for the past 2 weeks... didnt really take pictures of everything, but the important ones are there though..
WARNING: SUBJECT OF PHOTOS MAY NOT BE PHOTOGENIC AND APPEALING TO THE AUDIENCE... CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
it all started with a 12 hr flight to franfurt, germany, where we had a stopover for about 1 hour+
thats my bro... well, aniwaes, we ate like fat and short sausages which were called frank-something... haha... this pic was taken at one of the restaurants at the airport...
my dad...
well, so the flight goes on for another 9 hours to jfk airport at new york... and my bro rented a car there, so we could travel around the country...
we drove for about 2 hours to the state of massachusetts, amherst, and stayed in this motel called the university lodge... well, before that, my bro drove us to the very tree which he crashed into 2 hears ago, and apparently, that tree is now the shortest among the rest... he stunted its growth... the tree wasnt even scratched, but my bro's car, which was borrowed from a friend, was a wreck...
this is draggy... ok.. nvm.. shall cut it short...
so that night, the first night in the states, we went to a pub to eat buffalo wings... to be precise, 60 of them, shared among 5 people... madness... and on top of that, we ordered a huge nachos with cheese and jalapeno peppers and the works, and a whole rack of ribs... we couldnt finish it.. its too much.. haha... and the wings were great...
the next day, i ate my very first real donuts, which is not the doughy bread crap that singapore has.. these are REAL donuts... fried, not baked... we had cinnamon donuts.. it was really delicious...
so after that, my bro brought us to this all-girls college to look around the campus.. it was beautiful... the architecture was amazing...
after that, he brought us to this river, which was totally freezing!! it was the coldest place we visited in the states.. even with my winter gear and ski gloves, i was freezing mad... and my bro still wanted me to take off my gloves to take pics for him.. =.=
ok... the next day, we visited my bro's violin teacher when he was taking his masters in the states.. charles treger is his name.. my father has one of his recordings too... he's really amusing.. told us many of his stories when he was young... and the saddest thing was, i didnt gel my hair.. and i look like crap... haha.. oh wells.. oh, the lady in orange is my sis-in-law..
we spent a total of 3 nights at amherst, then we drove to boston city, which was about 3 hours away... i love that city!! soo many historical sites! one of them was this cemetry, which contained a number of historical figures, which includes mother goose, the woman who wrote nursery ryhms, and samuel adams, yau and adam's son, who was one of the people who signed the declaration of independence.. didnt manage to take photos of their graves, due to some unfortunate events... ooh, before we reached the city, we visited a fulte factory, burkardt or something like that.. dunno how to spell.. yep.. one of the top 5 flute makers in the states at least.. it was really cool, cause my bro's friend is working there, and there are only 20 people working in that factory...
we also visted yale university, which is one of the top 3 universities in the states.. i love that place.. it is sooo beautiful...
we ate lunch at this place called the marketplace, which is actually equivalent to singapore's finger food street, but much more high class and expensive... we ate lobsters, one each.. haha... its really really good... and the clam and lobster chowders, omg, its amazing...
and we went around taking pics of the very house which the declaration of independence was written and announced, which was exactly on the balcony... oh.. that statue is samuel adams btw...
so it was christmas day, and i tell you, the streets were totall empty! like TOTALLY!! we could even take our sweet time taking pictures in the middle of the road... it was as if the whole city was wiped out of humans! and the worst thing, no food shops were open... utter torture... we ended up in dunkin donuts eating muffins.. haha... so we ended up taking pictures along the way, and we attended a church's christmas service.. interesting...
we also went to harvard university.. didnt really like that place... i prefer yale... but it was nice aniwaes.. those two guys, the one in yellow and the most-front guy are my bro's friends who are studying there...
we stayed in boston for 3 nights, then we drove to evansville, indiana state... it was an 18 hour drive.. and we did it in one day.. haha... phew.. we visited the gelok family, which is the one my sis is getting married to... the girl on the extreme left is dan's, my sister's husband, youngest sister, who is 18, the same age as me.. i was attracted to her, but it wont work out at all.. we have two totally different personalities... i tell you, the whole family is extremely fun to be with... they also have a strong set of principles which they have to follow.. and they have a family 'coucil' whenever theres something wrong in the family and they will sit down and discuss it, not like singaporeans.. they shout and argue and they dont realise it doesnt solve anything.. oh wells..
the next day is the wedding.. the big day.. i was the only one wearing this long coat, and i look like some godfather or something, which everybody keeps calling me.. hahaa.. the procession was great... my sis and dan were sobbing when we were singing the hymns.. it was really touching.. how they went through difficulties, and i really mean BIG difficulties and tribulations to be with each other... the woman in red is my mum btw..
after the procession, there was a banquet.. it was really really really fun... i danced for the very first time in my life... both fun and slow dance.. haha... everybody was having fun that night.. my sis taught me how to spin her in a slow dance.. we didnt really have a real chance to say a proper good-bye to her.. she had to run out of the place while everybody was throwing rice at them.. you know, the tradition.. and the only way to escape was to drive away in their wedding car.. however, her friends filled the whole car with balloons, like so many of them! they couldnt even put their hand in.. haha.. sigh... i miss her...
so the next morning, i was already depressed... bleah... we headed back to new york.. we arrived at the big apple about 11 hours before countdown, and we ate chinese food there.. it was great, better than in singapore.. amazing...
we visited the grand central train station, the largest train station in the world, with 300 tracks in total... !!
we went to the times square... it was already packed with thousands and thousands of people!!! and it was 9 hours before countdown.. 9 HOURS!! and we almost got killed in the mob.. minutes after the photo was taken, we were walking in the human jam when the flow stopped all of a sudden... nobody could move at all.. i couldnt even lift up my arm to touch my shirt! and people were starting to get pissed and they started pushing.. they almost started a fight, which would leave us dead if it were to happen...
well, it was an exciting experience though... we managed to get out of the sardine can and headed to the airport, and there began my journey home.. and now i'm here sitting in front of my computer.. yep.. thats my trip to the states in a nutshell.. left out lots of things but i guess theres no point in telling you guys everything...
enjoy!@$#&%#

CHRISTmas...
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.
http://www.goodnewsaboutgod.com/studies/holidays2.htm
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...
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

$500!!
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.................

Cothen...
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...

The Universe...
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)
