From now on, i will only update once or twice a week unless theres anything special tat i can blog about.. since basically i am a lazy blogger and to maintain an ongoing blog had become much of a chore to me... haha..

so heres jus a recap of wat i have done for the week.. actually its jus sch, lessons, sch.. and nothing else.. nothing special nor interesting.. UNTIL fri night which i had my leo wave orientation which was fun! though huilin,yufan,xianhui and i were being made the game masters, and we didnt get to play the games, but i still enjoyed myself..the bunch of leo guys are very fun-loving and easy to get along with.. so leo events are always fun with them and frens ard..(:
then it was the excursion to hay dairies and farmmart this morning which i thought was rather fun and enriching.. after which i went for the last tat is the 8th lesson of dancing class at night with liying.. it seems to have been soooo long since we really meet up and chat but we still didnt manage to spend any quality time to catch up with each other.. but its ok we can always meet during breaks in sch..
anw we have decided not to continue with the new dancing course anymore since sch have already started and so, time doesnt allow us to do the opposite.. perhaps we might consider to take up a new class during the next long holiday break..

on a side note, the next upcoming event for leo club will be spring cleaning at villa francis home and more community services work..oh and before i forget, i must mention about the welcome party for yr ones which will be held next sat 3rd of may and its like so fast la! becos i was still thinking that the month of may is like still a long way to go and before i realise its jus next sat!! nvm everything have more or less been settled and wats left is jus the rehearsal and technical aspects and to count on our prayer and luck tat the whole event will be smooth-flowing on tat day itself..

then theres still the video project waiting to be completed the following sat and i realise for the next few weeks, all my sats have been set aside for either academic or cca purposes..so i am practically so busy with so many stuffs..
i am starting to get the bitter taste of wat yr 2 life is like.. which is seriously #$%@! but tats just the path in different stages of life tat everyone will have to go through..i guess all i have to do is jus hang on and bear with it.. and lets just jiayou for all upcoming presentations!!

=D

三年前的“就是爱你”世界巡回演唱会,运载的是原版的音乐,简单的编曲,单纯的歌唱,温馨的回忆。虽中规中矩,却唱出了最真挚原始的情感,深深地唱进了每个人的心坎里。没有刻意的加以点缀,只有跟观众最直接的心灵交替。

三年后的“123我们都是木头人”世界巡回演唱会,突破传统,编曲丰富饱满了许多,舞台的灯光效果变化万千,一连串的舞曲振奋人心,大饱观众的眼福与耳福,但总觉得表面上包装得非常华丽,近乎完美,可是却欠缺了灵魂,情感的灵魂,所以留下的也只是虚无的空壳。

没有失望,因为本来就带着准备接受惊喜的心态去观看,所以带走的也是满满的惊喜和十足的诚意。只是,想设法找回三年前,那最初的感觉和回忆却已枉然。也许,有些美好的事物应当只是被放在记忆的库存里供偶尔的回味而已,不可能会被完全取代。

新的改变,没什么不好。寻求突破,更应值得嘉许。但,也许我始终脱离不了三年前的情景,依然留恋着三年前的那种感觉。因此有了惊喜,有了突破,我的心却无法敞开去接受这样的改变。

不过最终,一切都还是值得的。至少,我知道虽然我找不回“就是爱你”的单纯音乐享受,却得到了“木头人”一步步超越自我的精神。

有一点可以肯定的是,虽然我留下了那一丁点的缺憾,但我却带走了预期的收获。
《是是非非》,《Runaway》,《天天》,《鬼》,《黑色柳丁》,《找自己》,《爱,很简单》,《就是爱你》,《沙滩》,《太美丽》,《爱我还是他》,《今天你要嫁给我》,《今天没回家》,《Dear God》,等等属于David Tao 的经典好歌仍然回荡在我耳边,成为一种有灵魂,有躯体的丰富回忆。

school had been ok, based on the fact that only 4 days have passed and the stress haven been built up.. but i am sure to feel the tremendous pressure as time goes by.. watever it is, let nature takes it course then..

well, its still all the same old boring introductory lessons for all the modules to kickstart the first week of sch...
global issue is like a mixture of geog and gp to me which i think its still quite interesting but i am really lazy to flip the papers to read the current affairs/news section.. for the sake of my grades, i think i might pick up the habit.... soon.. haha.. hope so.. lol..
presentation skills is as usual the very stressful but fun one..
interpretation is so called verbal translation and i have poor memory and poor translation skills and slow translation speed so i think its a tough module for me..
no comments for cont lang since the teacher will be away for 2 or 3 weeks i forgot but ya.. for now.. nothing much to say abt tat module..
then its the elective modules: video and new media which are both very technical stuffs and i am not a very teachnical person but i will try my best to be one.. and i believe the things i learnt from these 2 electives will be of great use in future and will def do me good..so for goodness sake, pls buck up and score well yijun!

ok enuf said about sch stuffs.. i will be attending my sec sch's anniversary cum montage performance at the Singapore Conference Hall tmr night.. hope it will be a nice one and looking forward to meeting all my beloved jiemei and frens there..
i realise i have never failed to take part in my sec sch anniversary since sec1, and now i am going back as no longer a performer nor prize receiver but as an alumni to support my juniors.. haha.. its a 2 different feelings all tgt but theres one thing that will never change. and that is my sense of belonging to mjr. =D

and one more thing to add on, i will be going to david tao's concert on sat night! and i am so anitcipating it!!! i simply love his songs and his live-singing skill which is undeniably superb! guess i will be super high on that day, singing to all his songs and waving the lightstick enthusiastically jus like how i felt and wat i did at his previous concert 2 yrs ago.. (:

liying, i miss u gal! still not fully used to schdays without u.. memories jus keep flooding in..
but of cos i will still stay happy and lets work hard tgt! i am sure u can do it! loves.(:

****************************************


This hols will be much of a boredom if there are no books to entertain me..
if u have read my previous posts or u know me well enough, u will notice that Giddens 九把刀 is a writer that i admire recently..
and i have made a small little achievement this hols by reading you-count-yourself number of his books..
not taking into account 《等一个人咖啡》, the first book i started reading at the beginning of march is......

《爱情,两好三坏》:

一次错误的巧合,注定了两个人一定正确的未来。一段偶然的相遇,成全了两人永恒不变的爱情。


after which,

《那些年,我们一起追的女孩》:

有些事,不一定会因为一个人多年秉持着的执著坚定而有所改变;但却能因为这个人永不放弃的精神与坚持到底的信念而留下骄傲的汗水与耀眼的光芒。回忆起来,嘴角还会情不自禁地上扬。



followed by....

《妈,亲一下》:

感人肺腑的真实陪伴记录;讲述了儿子孝顺,母亲伟大的故事;以及‘凡是都要珍惜眼前人事物,不要等到失去了才来后悔’的道理。虽然这句话已听上数百次,但依然那么激荡着人的心灵。



thereafter,

《杀手,凤华绝代的正义》:

如果你相信正义,那正义就会存在。如果你不相信,正义就没有它存在的必要。只要我们依照自己内心深处最真实的想法去相信事物;并追随着自己最初的心意与理念,我们自然能得到所有问题最真实的答案。



still not enough....

《功夫》:

一段误打误撞的渊源,造就了一位英雄的诞生。揭开隐藏在故事背后的事实,原来所有的阴差阳错都来自于“可恶可悲”四字,虽然在冤枉中感悲哀,但却在悲哀中成就了这位英雄的辉煌一生。



totally addicted....

《狼嚎》:

真挚的友谊与真正的英雄穿插在不可思议却有让人感觉踏实的故事情节中,更显各自所绽放的光彩与绚烂英姿。



until last but not least....

《少林寺,第八铜人》:

只有在逆境中才会锻炼培养出对付敌人的气魄与能力,也只有在逆境中,才会发现谁才是能与你共度生死的真正战友。



i still wanna read more of his books but some are not available at the library.. how i wish i am living in taiwan then i am sure to finish reading all his books!! haha..

alongside giddens' books, i also read 3 other chinese novels which are

《爱尔兰咖啡》,

《在天堂遇见你》,

&《爱在西藏游走》 respectively which are equally a good-read too..(:


of cos, here are some english storybooks that also serves as a great form of leisure and entertainment to me for this hols!

'HOUSEWIFE DOWN'


'A PLACE CALLED HERE'


'MURDER SHE WROTE' series


& 'SECRET DIARY OF A DEMENTED HOUSEWIFE'


i am sure i would not ever get the time to read this much after sch reopens just on mon!!! OMG its like so fast jus in a blink of an eye!! but seriously i have broke my reading record!! and that gives me a little sense of satisfication and achievement!

of cos, this entry is not just to showcase to u guys how much i read but also to serve as some kinda 'advertisement' for the authors of these books above! becos if u do have the time (which i doubt so when work starts piling up when sch reopens), u can go and borrow these recommended books and have a look! trust me, u will not regret spending your time reading them! (:

it has been quite a long time since i went to watch a chinese orchestra concert. i cant rmb when was the last time i paid to go and watch one. but defintely not recently until yesterday.

it was under the request of my ah di raymond to attend the co concert performed by tp students. since qiuyu and i were free yesterday, so we willingly paid $6 to watch it. haha and i think it was rather worth it cos i thought it was a well-executed performance afterall. i can really see the hard work and effort being put in and paid off by the whole orchrestra. i can say they have already reached professional standards, with all the music pieces being put off so well and greatly appreciated by all.

they even have images projected on the screen which changes to suit the different music pieces every now and then, serving as some kinda background and an aid to enhance the whole effect of the performance. watching the co concert just brought me back many good old memories when i was still a part of mjrco, having regular practices every wed and fri, and being able to participate in all sorts of concerts, be it for cny, sch anni, syf, or public performances like montage etc..

Thinking back, it really had been very fulfilling and soul-enhancing to be able to gain so many performing-on-stage experiences, and knowing how cooperation and coordination between all co members were of such high importance. a performance wouldnt be complete without everyone's contribution and hard work. every single one counts in an orchestra, doesnt mater if u are not playing the main melody or you are just an accompanist for that particular music piece. well it may be a pity that i didnt continue taking up CO as my cca in poly now, perhaps i just want to get myself a break from it, or maybe i just want to experience new things, or even becos my determination in learning an instrument is not strong enuf and all the reasons i mentioned in front were just plain excuses. haha.
i might not be a part of CO anymore, but i believe the interest in CO is still in me, i will still willingly pay to watch a CO performance, still enjoy myself thoroughly in a CO performance. or shld i say some kinda strong feeling for CO was already being built up in me unknowingly.

well that is something for me to find out as time goes by, who knows if i suddenly have the urge to take up yang qin or even other instruments and decided to be part of CO all over again? haha the future is unpredictable anyway.

for the time being, i would like to apologise to my beloved juniors cos i couldn't attend the montage concert!! arghhh i would love to go but 19 april clashes with the day of david tao's concert which i am going obviously!! i hate this kinda clashes in dates.. but i couldnt change anything.. so i could only give them mental support while i enjoy myself in another concert.. which is a much better concert? oops i am jus joking i mean much more expensive concert can?! haha i pay abt 10 times more than the price for montage concert to watch david tao's concert ok! haha and i am like so looking-forward to his concert which i believe will be so worth the price!!
so jiayou mjrco! i am sure u all can do it! at least i know i have confidence in mr mike chiang! LOL.

10 more days to sch reopen. =(
