do your eyes hurt yet?

this was floating around the internet somewhere. i haven't had the tenacity to follow one ball through the whole thing. but i applaud the tremendous effort!

there's a live one at the science centre and i absolutely love it.

H3 over!

we don't smile because it happened; we whoop in hysteria because it's over.

well, it wasn't all too bad, so i shall just banish it to a small shriveled corner in my mind and worry about it only next year.

i'm free!! :D
free to mug bio, do coursework, write speech, study for SATS, mug for blocks.
i'm actually being partially genuine about this.

(the learning was interesting, but the prepping for the exam was not. so wasn't the lab report. note to juniors: TAKE PROTEOMICS unless you enjoy self-studying very much and want to get your H3 over and done with in half a year.)

made new friends whom i don't know if i'll keep, but it was fun bashing the system for being a failure and pulling through together in general. you are all really interesting people!

found a new home in the library. i wish they'd get more of those nice chairs. and change all the computers. i think i'll be back, nevertheless.


anyway, the feeling is great. goodbye, goodbye to my H3 life! i am a normal specimen of education once again.

new PV

suits! *gasp*

i wonder where they got their insipration for the animal heads from? hmm ...
also, i wonder how they're going to do this live. (maybe they'll get real brass players! :D)

the most accessible piece since the surf bungaku kamakura era! recommended.

voices in flight 2010

choir concert yesterday.

songs i liked: the standard fare (burung, lullaby, kalinda(!), orpheus, jap game, mambo) as well as tsubasa, itsuki no komori uta, SATB version of 催咚催, and mate saule.
mate saule was beautiful! haunting.
so was lullaby, but listening to it from so far away took away some of the intensity i've heard before.
(sorry jane i didn't record! ><)

and of course, xulie's solo speaking part in i-dunno-what-dialect in 猜调!
i must congratulate him for managing to look cool on stage (i was sitting very very far at the top, though. :D)
i must also congratulate the guys for sounding so good! (there were seniors, i know, but there weren't any bad sounds with the good sound as far as i could tell.)
couldn't really see the girls, i could only tell them apart by their figure.

what was kind of weird was watching some of my seniors perform on stage with the current batch and the junior batch, while sitting behind some of my other seniors (who went and dyed their hair and everything already.)

did something long overdue for a good friend, which felt nice.

hugged a lot of people, gave stuff, and felt a bit extra, because everyone had their own bunch of supporters and were rushing around all over the place.

met seniors i truly, truly respect.

yes, i enjoyed myself.
i decided not to be sad.
felt a bit wistful, but it made the songs all the more beautiful.

辛苦你们了！


THANK YOU wenqi and huimin for going with me (even though your classes have no choir people) and tolerating my running around and finding people! <3333 you guys.

i miss choir very, very, very much.


JIAYOU for france and czech! i'll be waiting for the good news!

just wondering about my future.

迷う。

頭に聞いた。
未来がある仕事をやろう。給料がいい、自分が得意、安定、回りの期待に答えることができる、学歴に匹敵する仕事をやろう。
途中は苦しいかもしれないけど、慣れる。好きになれる。きっとそうだ。いつも好きになれたから。
憧れている仕事を手にする方法だ。

心に聞いた。
自分のために生きよう。本当にやりたいことをやろう！それを仕事にしたら、きっと最高の日々が過ごせる。仕事をする理由が間違ったら、それは極危険なことだ。信じてないことはやめろう。社会の罠に落ちないで。


決められないままでいる時間がない。

逃げたい日もある。この息が取れない社会から。

会話

there are a few people whom i can sustain a normal conversation with on public transport.

the rest i just take to ignoring. if they insist on sitting with me, we will very probably spend the whole ride in awkward silence or holding fragmented conversations about generic things like school, and teachers, and events, and school.

then, there are the people i can sit with in complete silence. it's not awkward - it's comfortable. these people are hard to come across.

then there are all the in-betweens.

maybe my (very bad) habit of ignoring acquaintances on the bus is due to the fact that i look forward to every bus ride as a time to sink into music and sleep.
(i loved it when they removed TVmobile.)

who knows what consequences this will have in the future? but for now, i'm happy to take the bus alone.

:D/D:

going out today was fun!
although a little quiet, with 3 people.
shutter island: 久しぶりに良い映画を見た。 it's my first NC16 in the cinemas, by the way!
we had fun in our own way. :D

i realized you can't sing shoegaze at karaoke since the instruments are the star of the show and the voice is an accesory. defeats the point.

--

have i failed to mention that i have no more H3 lessons?

:D/D:

i look forward to having jap with peace of mind.
on the other hand, we are now officially left to our own devices to study for the exam. other than email, that is. which is not very useful when a) you don't have any questions, or b) you have too many.

so! i shall reside in the library after school from now till the 23rd of may. sorry for being antisocial.

cs5, streetwars and random photos.

so, StreetWars is coming to singapore.
it reminds me of liar game (the first round).
the sending of opponent details by mail and all.
i wonder how the organizers will confirm the winners? (like if both hit each other at the same time?) are they going to send people to stalk the participants?
quite freaky, isn't it.

--

i want photoshop cs5. *groans*
the amazing things its intelligent algorithms can do!

long weekends are good for making things and going places.
