viva at tampines

well... i've yet to come online again for another week.. life seems to be so hectic and moving yet so quickly.. i might have caught a breather once in a while.. but yet i feel tired.. last sunday.. springfield had a performance at bedok reserviour.. for some family day.. called viva at tampines west.. it was quite fun at some point.. we had some dancing.. basic line dancing...it was weird that my cousin taught line dancing but i've never learnt it.. weird though.. but it was more humid that anything else..

i guess springfield has lost it... maybe i should have seen it coming.. but yet it is so hard to let go.. our humble beginnings.. my humble beginnings.. when we worked our lives out.. scarificed our blood.. fought with our hearts.. yet.. the students seem so meek now when fighting for the band but so bold when trying to impress.. the humbleness.. the simple greeting... a simple thank you... a smile smile.. a pride for their instruments.. all lost..

it was my band.. my tears.. my sweat.. yet today.. i see my band in a different light.. the environment changed them to become all high and mightly.. why?? i never had the privillage of buying instruments as and when we wanted.. i used donated instruments till sec 3 when our band bought our first batch of instruments.. we opened our trumpets with fear and excitment.. and loved them with our lives.. cleaning them after practice.. and make sure the shone with our pride for every performance.. yet... last sunday.. i saw nothing that once burned in me.. i was sad.. depressed.. instruments.. even the one i once owned.. tarnished.. 'bruised'... maybe it describes me now.. fading away from my band..

well.. i took pictures.. maybe even from there i could see the arrogance in the air.. omipresent..

Getting ready to set off in school...resting and warming up...
Performing...
some dancing.. ruben picking up some skills from the minister's wife...

That was really a day... a heart full of stuff.. yet they don't understand.

partners award 2006

work has been busy lately.. shangwei said our progress is too slow.. but it seems that we are the people slogging and clocking the longest hours.. hai.. so sick.. but i know i've gott push on for the results for MP.. or else i'll can't hope of aceing thing thing...

well.. last weekend the Ping yi side performed for the partners awards at NP.. its still weird getting used to hearing the school names instead of Titans.. i still am quite bitter about the splitting and stuff.. but i still have hope.. i'll be spending the rest of the day sorting out alumni stuff and data.. and hopefully a meeting soon...

i've been quite disappointed with ben.. ever since i dunno when... he has been acting sore.. sulking about something that we never will know.. he has always been a mystery to me.. i know that he has been acting weirdly lately.. living in a world of his own.. autistic.. nah... doubt so.. i just hope that he can be there when the alumni needs him... its seems to be crumbling under all this weight.. after thinking.. should our alumni be like others?? overpowering?? to lead the band?? i don't want the path to lead there.. i want the alumni to be able to go down to the kids level and teach them.. however.. this has been proving more difficult with our increasing age and the decreasing age of the kids.. age gap.. i cant seem to understand their lame jokes and laugh with them... but their silliness can really make me smile..

okie.. i'll upload some pics i took that day...

Getting to NP and unloading the instruments...

The ACS boys and Chang Yuan.. they were awfully intelligent.. and i was impressed by their language command.. i made a friend.. Sanji.. he looked just like joel.. i guess going to a good school makes a difference.. they danced well too.. hope to catch them in the future

The band playing the concentration game.. everyone seems to be having fun with all the laughter.. and it seems to be able to cease the nerves before the performance.

the band is up.. my camera couldnt zoom and my hands were unstable... haha.. ops...

Finally.. Ping Yi recieving the partners award..

It was finally over.. whee.. waking up at 530 in the morning was no easy feat.. tmr its Springfield's turn for performance..

Janice.. off to study for my project...

i just got home not too long ago.. freaking tired.. but lab has surely been fun.. i'm really quite lucky to have hock.. we fight in lab by pushing and tugging at each other (of course i'll lose to him.. rugby player).. laugh at the lamest stuff... pretend to get fierce and end up laughing all over again.. make friends with people from the neighbouring labs.. acting stupid... and he intros me to new english songs.. i seem to find some liking to rock songs now.. not heavy metal.. my new fav band is Panic at the disco.. but ya.. haha.. thanks my lab partner... having laughter a day makes my life better by alot...

Today we fought again.. he was grabbing my hands.. cause i was irritating la.. ahaha.. and when i took out my gloves.. there was a blue black.. hahha.. ops..

K.. gotta slp le.. band has performance tmr man.. freaking tired.. whee..

janice.. OUT... smiling =)

tiredz

wah.. damn tired.. i'm at lab now.. its been a hectic week of work since shang wei came back and the machine came at the same time.. so bored.. happy birthday atika and norman.. i forgot again..

janice.. totally worn out

1st campus discussion

wah... i finally managed to upload the pic of the 2 new drum major's of TK and Deyi.. see the style and aura they command?? hmm..

Well.. yesterday's on-campus discussion was damn fun.. i really missed school.. mdm huang yan was very nice and she allowed us to have much freedom in expressing our views and stuff.. another half a year and all these will cease.. life seems to have changed.. even my beloved locker that i've used for 2 and half years does not belong to be anymore... My IS24.. well those hello kitty stickers are definately not mine!!!

i really missed tons of people.. here is a pic of fatimah and i.. i look damn pale la.. but who cares...



the guys in my discussion group.. haha.. i just took this for fun.. hock's face look damn funny la.. haha.. oh well...

it was really fun seeing eveyone and there was hugs and tons of gossips.. the biggest one about seeing this pair of weird couple together on a weekend at vivo spread like wildfire... haha.. and the guy who really irritates me.. was asking around.. "have u heard a rumour abt me?" hahaha.. it was damn funny la...

janice.. waiting for the 2nd on campus discussion..

NCO passing out parade

i'm freaking tired.. had so many things that i haven been home for dinner for 2 days straight.. haha.. i miss my family.. so sleepy.. but still gotta update my blog..

on fri night i went to my first Band NCO passing out parade.. it was quite interesting and amazing that they did the music and formations quite well in 5 days.. it was my first.. so it was interesting.. was intending to find some inspirations.. but.. haha.. shall keep everyone is suspense ya?? hmm.. got some ideas.. but really the band uniforms in singapore have no originality and are soo similar... well.. i'll let the pics do some talking..



The four majors.. hmm.. they did a good job putting up the uniform.. occupational hazard.. hai
Look at tahir go.. i couldnt get a shot of jun an.. my cam took too long to recover... ops..
The two band majors.. with yan jun's bros at the back.. she was damn hyper la...
The two drum majors.. smart in the uniform ya?? but.. it was still wrong... shall not tell u...
The whole contingent.. smart?? i saw some loopholes.. haha... well.. i guess the drum majors have a long way to go if they wanna lead the band in 2008(i won be there.. arrgh).. tahir lacks the composure and charisma... would be like another zach.. able to execute out all the throws but lacks the aura.. jun an on the other hand.. has the looks.. but not the built.. but still too boyish.. looking at the deyi major.. hmm.. even the pic shows charisma and composure.. (But i can't seem to upload it here) something that all the drum major's lack.. i'm waiting to see the fight in 2008....

janice....

IMCB

life is damn sad now.. waiting for lisa to have lunch is taking forever.. dear was supposed to come today... but too bad... hai.. well later i've gotta go for the NCO passing out parade.. so tired.. will leave early from work today...

janice.. cheers.. hopefully the day gets better..

life?? smiles

life seems better today...

it was great to get back to work.. had fun doing nothing and sorting out what hock has done for me.. THANKS!!!

dr lim's stuff is settled and i dun wannabring this thing up anymore..

I've been practically brain dead for the past few days at home.. am i've been uploading all my pics on to photobucket.. all my band pics are up... now.. my personal pics..

well.. band has always been sort of my priority over the years.. be it interest or obligation.. i have to confess that it has become an obligation with the piling amount of stuff i have recently.. but still have have to return to where i began.. to give back.. many others have moved on.. but yet i chose to stay.. next year if all goes well i'll be heading for perth.. its hard to put down the alumni and band.. though i know i haven done much for the alumni.. hai.. sad to say.. i'm still at a lost.. but i must get this sorted out with ben and felix once school stuff are settled.. or else.. i can't leave in peace.. its been a rough period.. and the storm will get worse.. have i chosen to run away?? i really dunno.. its been difficult to have a choice between band and my personal life.. maybe i've become isolated.. two different people.. its weird la.. but i'm not too sure what my brain cells are up too.. maybe they were mutated in some sort.. band has been integtrated in my genes and forged together in my blood.. sometimes i might be tired.. but i'll still be back.. syafiq gave me the weirdest way of putting my abscence in band.. he said they were like in an orphanage.. kids without a mother.. haha..

i regret not having pics taken this year for SYF 2006.. hai

The 2006 Titans Trumpeters
janice.. keep smiling..

sadness

i've been jinxed today.. nothing seemed to be going well since yesterday.. from me getting sick.. stupid eye is inflammed again..( suspect its herpes).. hai.. to my favourite tao huay store is closed.. damn sad..

let me recount...

today.. i woke up with my left eye like a golf ball.. and my right eye had some inflammation at the bottom eyelid which looked like herpes (i had it in 2000) and its damn sick la.. hai.. so i went to the poly clinic.. average waiting time 3 freaking hours.. the doctor gave me some antibiotic cream.. finally done.. wanted to eat my fav tao huay.. but it was CLOSED.. wah.. damn sad.. then i went home to rest and applied the cream... it made my left eye better but my right eye became worse.. so off i went to the doctor again... waited.. and he gave me a referal letter to SGH.. which daddy says we'll go tmr morn to do eye scan stuff la.. hai.. my head is throbbing.. den i just checked my email.. niang said that my collegue who knows dr lim told him that i said bad stuff about him.. like wth.. hai.. i only told her that we were disappointed that he was late and stuff... hai.. den become like that.. dunno who to applogise to dr lim now.. and poor hock has to do my experiments too.. feel damn bad la... so sad..

worse thing.. sat.. i can't go for band.. cause there was on campus discussion.. i thought that i could go after school.. looks like i might not even be able to go to school.. and norman and wilson's paper is tmr.. feel damn worried that they might fail.. arrgh

janice.. have i reached the bottom of the bottomless pit??

grace and jeff

on the 21st the gals and i went to vivo.. we were kinda of mad at dr lim.. cause he was late.. but i really had fun in his BMW convertible.. hai.. but it seemed distant.. can i still say i am close to him like friends.. maybe he was too work orientated.. but it really seemed so distant..
