2009-09-01T16:14:00.018+08:00

19th July fly to Bali (my 38th flight so far...hoho!) Share a room with Ivan!! Is two single beds, what are you thinking....
I made souvenirs for all this time...ten sets of these in different colours because we got 40 singers this year.
and souvenir for our conductor Mr Matsubara...
20th July-25th July, music camp and performance in Bali. Made my best friend in AYC
张乐宇(Leo) from Shanghai, Bass, WYC member in 2003,2004. We were lost in Bali on 23rd(?), and took us 1 and half hour to walk back to our hotel, and it rains, so we both came back soaked. Since then we become quite close friend I think.....happy :)

So our days in Bali from 19th-24th is full of...
rehearsals!!! some people still wearing mask when singing.....?!?
and 1 concert in the churchThen, 25th is....FREE TIME!!!! at last we can go around in Bali on our own.....naturally, Leyu with me, and also Lee Shiak Yao (Tenor, Malaysia) and Emi N (Alto, Japan)
Lee Shiak Yao 李锡耀（nick：细腰）haha ！！Emi N.....there is Emi S also, this is the N....

We went to..
Super Duper HOT SUN!!!we saw a lot of naked sun bathers....wooo....too bad we dare not take their pictures....

our lunch...then we proceed to Kampung Bali, handicraft shop, I bought instruments which made toad sound, thuder sound, bird sound and seruling (a kind of flute). Emi N was not feeling well, so Shiak Yao went back to Hotel with her while Leyu and I continue....Beach 66, we are coming!!

B-e-a-utiful sun set!!!!! I LOVE BALI!!!!! My camera is not good enough to capture its real beauty!!

ok, I am tired of uploading pictures already......to be continued...

So far so good la....

Anyway, I still got things to be excited about in July and August.

Carmen opera production...

2008-05-22T11:33:00.011+08:00

My only experience on performing in an opera production was the "Carmen" opera, performed in the end of year 2004....(which is my STPM year and also, I din miss pessoc's music camp performance....busy like crazy.)

The staging and the acting is a great fun besides the singing part. Each singer got a set of unique costume which is different from other singers.

Pre Dressing

We had our very early dinner before performance....and you can see, I have done hair and part of make-up. The guy in the middle, done everything...and the last guy, done nothing....hahaha...

Act 1

I am the spanish factory girl... it is the nicest factory costume I ever seen. Actually, I should go on stage bare footed, but I forgot to take off my shoes when taking this photo.Look at my hair style. Does it suits me?

In the first act, I also play another character besides factory girl. I act as a passer-by during the guys' opening chorus. You know what kinda passer-by I was?
Tadaaa.....the muslim nun and a catholic nun.....say cheese! So we come in opposite direction, knock each other, then run away....that's all. So, inside my nun costume is my factory girl costume.

Act 2 & 3

ok, in 2nd and 3rd act, we act as gypsy smugglers.....wakakakakaz.... the blue scarf is actually wear like a malay tudung before I get on stage.....it is very nice going with my costume. My "boyfriend" in the first act actually... When i took this picture I din bring along my scarf....so I pinjam orang lain punya...haha... why must have a scarf? It is a bit too sexy.

Act 4

The spanish couple in the act 4, acting like we are going in for a bull-fighting show. Picture taken after the show la of course.

Toreador and la donna.... looks nice leh? :-)

Famous Roti Boy...

2008-04-28T01:40:00.003+08:00

Roti Boy is so famous and so delicious that I went all the way to KLCC just to buy a pair!

Pyjamas Roomie...

2008-04-22T18:51:00.003+08:00

Ah....only left one month of staying together with Jing Jing in KL. There was one night that we suddenly wanna take photos on ourselves wearing our "cutest" pyjamas. So, here goes...Actually, it is my "genius" idea that we take a photo acting like we are kissing each other, because we are good good roomie....he he.....but, I fail to do that, laughing like mad, and then the camera snapped (using timer)...

So....a kiss that failed...

2nd Day of CNY...

2008-04-12T09:01:00.012+08:00

Aaahhhh......got to work at daddy's coffee shop this morning... ah, no, dun wanna wake up!!

And so, I drag myself to the coffee shop, my job there is to be the cashier, sit at the counter. Jobs including: give changes to waiters, sell cigarettes, and receive customers' complaints.

So, today, the most complaints I get is: Eh xiao mei (same like 'ah moi'), no place to sit d ah? / Got some more baby chair or not? (because a lot of families bring along babies.)

Not difficult to imagine, the shop is full of customers, we say "people mountain people sea":

Sorry for blur photos, because I curi-curi use handphone to take one....scared kena belasah... So, those who cannot find places to sit and got to stand waiting are the "people mountain" and those who are in their seats are the "people sea".....we have some red mountains there...

Furthermore, there are mountains at our most famous stall--Hai Nam Chicken Rice, famous in SP, if I wanna tell people where is our shop, just say "the one most famous of chicken rice one" then people will know.

So many tapao-ers...each person represent each family to come ta pao for the whole family one ar....cheh, never order drinks one if come ta pao....shoo shoo.....

Because of good business in the morning....my skill on giving changes must be FAST....means VIVACE! Got to handle 3-4 very fast waiters at once... so, I come out with some ingenius ideas:

Put a few coins at the desk, 50 cents, 20 cents and 10 cents...this is to let the waiters to get change without even telling me and wait for me to open the drawer and take money... so this is for very small change la... this is easy, just keep on filling the coins on the desk and take those RM1 notes from the waiters...
And then, see I folded those RM1 notes? so from the left most is: 2 notes folded, then 3 notes folded, 4 notes folded and another 4 notes folded. So, when I give changes, I just take the folded ones and I know how many RM1 notes I am taking at once....no need to take one by one some more need to count again see I got take extra or not.... this is the vivace idea no. 2...
Some idea, folded RM10 notes, 4 notes in one stack.....you know oh, when new year time, people got a lot of RM50 notes....drink 90 cents also pay with RM50. So I got to prepare this 4 in 1 RM 10 for this kinda changes... When the RM10 notes finish, I got to break the RM50 into 5 RM10 from the back-up changes....this morning, I break up money from the back-ups no less than 20 times I think.

Combining all the ideas of vivace changing skills: for instant, if a waiter come to me, holding RM 50 note, and say "one eighty (in mandrin)", I will take one stack of 4 RM10, then take one RM5, and one stack of 3 RM1...by the time, the waiter already took the 20 cents coins from the desk. And so, we get the right changes in less than 10 seconds...or 5 seconds...dun know.

After the peak hours....around noon, we have mass of...."black sea":

The whole shop full or indians....is not that I am racist or what, indian kids can really make the place messy...later they pour over drinks....or make until the whole plate of rice onto the floor....etc....the idea is, mostly, when they leave the places....it is so messy, a few waiters said to me: like after dog eating...... swt

So, after a tiring morning and afternoon....

Wah.....banyak RM50....papa, bagi dua keping boleh?

1st Day of CNY!

2008-03-25T23:45:00.008+08:00

1st Day, is nothing much.....gets a lot of ang pao....the best thing is....no need to go work in the shop! HAHAHAHAHA....... Every year I got to go help out in the shop during CNY as well.... surprised that this year, it rest for a day!

So, I stayed at my grandma's place during the eve. Talking to grandma until midnight.... She is started to get concern about my "boyfriend"....hahaha....opps, old d.... elder relatives starts to concern about this issue.....help!!..... we talked and talked, until I cannot stand anymore and fall asleep...

Next day, my grandma help me took a picture of me just woke up, puffy eyes....I was planned to put up, but errr, too sexy, better not....haha

So we got up, get ang pao, eat, watch TV....relax....later after lunch, relatives are coming d!

One of my favourite cousin.....he grow taller than I would have expected!

Very timid and shy boy..... ask him let me take photo also he always shying out.....haha, very cute and a good boy.

See my lil cousin sister some more bully him. Poor darling she has got down syndrome, but she is good at immitating stuff....I guess this one, she maybe immitating some magic show or what....have a guess...

hahaha....we all watch her show..... then, proceed to the outside of the house....

Little "monsters" are making a great deal of noise ouside... they play chasing and I saw one climbing over the fence and try to get over to neighbour's house.... Terrified that he climbed so tall....I ask him to come back down immediately....he some more dare to answer back! SO WORRY that he may fall by accident (he is the youngest and the smallest)....I go and grab hold of him and hug him down (by force of course), and then, we end up having a good "fight"....he made full use of his teeth.... the result....he kena marah......wahahahahhaha!!!

In the late afternoon, we all went over to another relative's place.... and I saw a baby cousin brother soooooooooooooooooo cute! The last time I saw him, he was only 2 days old.... The baby boy and his sisters.....little darlings! The baby still dripping saliva....can see?

Ahhhh.....finally! I get to hold the baby.....he got so excited all the time....I had great difficulties to hold him still for the photo shoot.... after a few try....this is the best I can give....others, you can only see I am holding a "blur"....

And then, one minute later....start crying because tired and wanna sleep d.....ahhh.....one minute earlier still so active, another minute....he wanna get his nap d..... pandai betul...

So, at night, again, eat and watch TV, nothing interesting again....

And so, my 1st day of CNY 2008..

CNY Eve!

2008-02-13T09:31:00.000+08:00

The CNY Eve is the most enjoyable day for me. All the family members gathered and busy with the steamboat. Children making all sort of noise playing and adults chit chatting. Seeing this is enough to make me so content. It is always the happiest moment during every CNY.

Yummy steamboat!

Can't wait to start the feast!
See so many small bowls?
They are all different kind of sauce and chili....Yummy!

Sparkling juice....my fav.

One of my fav dish--The Soysauce Chicken. Very black eh?

Daddy and mommy....and Ah-mah at the back...hehehe

Younger uncle and wife....the elder uncle, sitting beside me, can't candid...haha

After meal...playing balloons with my two naughty cousins....I puffle both the balloons one ah!

Cute little one...

And finally, not-so-cute big one...

Journey back for CNY!

2008-02-13T09:04:00.000+08:00

It is Thursday night, 31st Jan. It is our exciting moment and our big day to GO HOME. Right, itchy? We all students were counting down to the day when we can go back to hometown especially for the biggest event for us chinese.

Jing Jing and I were meeting the younger sister of our ex-schoolmate(Shu Jin). We 3 were going back by train together. She reached KL Sentral super early, about 6pm?? Jing Jing and I went out from KL house only at 6.30pm or later....hehe....we were not being late, the train depart at 8.45pm ok? So we had a very long dinner there, Jing Jing and I recalling the first time we take the train ourselves. Mine is considered adventurous. Especially the one when itchy fetch me to KL Sentral, we were late because of bad traffic, and I miss the train. That one is the climax of the tension.

So, we "lucky draw" the train tickets at Sentral. I've got one that is opposite to both of them. It is a good seat, because I can see both, and they can only see me! Wahahahahaha! By the way, the light for Shu Jin and mine is broken. So we are in a shade, better to sleep!

We were busy sms when we get on board...

See they two so cute, like mirror image. "Day time" and "Night time"? And to follow the trend of taking photo when sms-ing, this is mine, pura-pura sms using Jing Jing's phone. (While Jing Jing take this picture using my phone)

Everybody look so happy and excited...isn't that obvious ?

Poor Jing Jing...

2008-01-15T21:11:00.000+08:00

After the first guitar class Jing Jing took as her co-curriculum.....

She came back and practise...so hardworking... see how she practise...

Ouch! The fingers are hurting like crazy.....

See the music scores that she wrote for today's lesson...

See, all staves got 6 lines instead of 5! This is to note down which string to press in guitar.

Very HUGE drawing of semibreve!!

What is that rest? on the 4th line??

So, today is one day of Jing Jing's history on "First day of guitar lesson"....

Music Camp 2007...

2008-01-14T23:50:00.000+08:00

Instant Noodles' Culture...

2008-01-13T01:15:00.001+08:00

After I came studying in UM, instant noodles became one of my main food supply....malas people malas to think what else to cook....and I believe most of the uni students are also like that...so we can actually join into "Instant Noodles Fan Club" d....

So, here is my dinner last night....

noodles+egg+a lot of cabbage

And this is my brunch for today....

noodles+crab balls+much much more cabbage!

So, I am so sick of noodles d, tonight when i went dinner with Chen Seng and Jeremy....NO MORE NOODLES or SPEGETTI....hahahha...

Why I put so much cabbage???? It is because I bought too many...trying my best to finish it as fast as possible...

Dinner....

2008-01-08T20:12:00.000+08:00

Suddenly very "eng" to go cook myself dinner....mood very good (because throw thesis aside, dun wanna think about it) hahaha......after korek my fridge to see the food stock I have got, I come out with something very weird combination....let's witness it....wahahahhaha....

4 crab sticks(centre) + chicken meat ball(top) + mashed potatos(left) + sweet corn(right)

Keng leh? dun know what to call this dish also....wahhahaha...anyway, it taste NICE! hoho...

Men are hard to pleased...

2008-01-07T22:16:00.000+08:00

I saw a very funny poem that my room mate forwarded to me and it it damn true, let's read it...

THE PROBLEMS WITH GUYS:

If you treat him nicely, he says you are IN LOVE with him.
If you don't, he says you are PROUD.

If you dress nicely, he says you are trying to LURE him.
If you don't, he says you are from KAMPUNG.

If you argue with him, he says you are STUBBORN.
If you keep quiet, he says you are BORING.

If you are smarter than him, he will LOSE FACE.
If he is smarter than you, he is GREAT.

If you don't love him, he tries to POSSESS you.
If you love him, he tries to LEAVE you. (apa ni?)

If you don't make love with him, he says you DON'T LOVE him.
If you do, he says you are CHEAP.

If you tell him your problems, he says you are TROUBLESOME.
If you don't, he says that you don't TRUST him.

If you scold him, you are like a NANNY to him.
If he scolds you, it is because he CARES for you.

If you break your promise, you cannot be TRUSTED.
If he breaks his, he is FORCED to do so.

If you smoke, you are a BAD GIRL.
If he smokes, he is a GENTLEMAN.

If you do well in exams, he says it's LUCK.
If he does well, it's BRAIN.

If you hurt him, you are CRUEL.
If he hurts you, you are just too SENSITIVE.

At last my room is back to tidyself...

2007-09-30T21:31:00.000+08:00

Since last week, my schedule is so full that Jing Jing hardly see me... so my room is in a total chaos again...

Just a brief description on last week...

Monday-spend my whole day for thesis: go to 2 libraries and bring back 5 reference books...
Tuesday-French test, monday too busy, din study at all, but the test is horribly easy, full marks!
Wednesday-Practising clarinet until Jeremy told me no lessons this week end.
Thursday-German test, damn so nervous, expected to be difficult, but turn out quite ok.
Friday-suppose to have thesis presentation, but suddenly, me, postponed to next thursday
Saturday-suddenly got called for studio recording, earn RM50, luckily no clarinet lessons, Ha!
Sunday-finally I can tidy up the room!

I was thinking of putting the photo for before and after, but....it too horrible, you guys dun wanna see....though someone witness it before....why? That person kena ppk by clarinet teacher and need to come to my house for the night...oh no, why is the moment when it is the most messy?!

So here is the photo taken after I finally put everything into place...(can you count how many animals in there?)

see so tiny space I have got, don't even have a place for me to simply put things...

Conductor and Clarinet Jokes

2007-09-30T20:28:00.000+08:00

At first I wanted to post only clarinet jokes, but find that clarinet jokes are too few and mostly copy cat from other instrument jokes....so, let's add some conductor's ones.....

note: conductors and clarinetists, do not proceed! (Unless you can laugh at yourself...)

Conductor Jokes

What do do with a horn player that can't play?
Give him two sticks, put him in the back, and call him a percussionist.
What do you do if he can't do that?
Take away one of the sticks, put him up front, and call him a conductor.

Did you hear about the planeload of conductors en route to the European Festival?
The good news: it crashed.
The bad news: there were three empty seats on board.

What's the difference between a bull and an orchestra? In an orchestra the horns are in the back and the ass is in the front!

Clarinet Jokes

How many clarinetists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Only one, but he'll go through a whole box of bulbs before he finds just the right one.

Q What's the definition of perfect pitch?
A When you toss a clarinet in the toilet and it doesn't hit the sides.

Q Why do clarinettists leave their cases on their dashboards?
A So they can park in the handicapped zones.

"The clarinet is a musical instrument the only thing worse than which is two."

A oboist noticed at the end of each rehearsal break, one of the clarinetists would look at the inside flap of his jacket before he sat down to resume rehearsal. This continued for several years, and the oboist became quite curious about it. One day, during hot weather, the clarinetist took off his jacket and went off on break. The oboist waited until everyone was off the platform, looked around, and sneaked over to the jacket. He pulled back the flap and saw a little note pinned on the inside. It read: "left hand top, right hand bottom."

The son said, "Mom, I am wearing socks..."
The mom said, "There is no need to wear socks! It is dangerous in there! Come out quickly!"
After 5 minutes, the son still hasn't came out.
The mom shouted again, "What are you doing? Why are you still inside the house?!"
The son said, "I am taking off my socks....mom"

In a Biology class, the teacher ask
"How do you differentiate 'hands' and 'legs' of the octopus?"
One of the students answered

After the farmer bring back a young handsome cock....

The old cock is worried if this newcomer will take over his place. So, he challenge the newcomer.

The young cock is very confident with his energy. So, he agrees.

And so they race.
At first, the old cock run with all his might, so he take the lead.
But after 3 or 4 rounds, the old cock run out of energy and now the young cock is catching up with the old one.
All the hens are cheering for the young cock.
Just when the young cock is about to take over.....BANG!! A gun shot. The young cock fall dead.
The farmer is standing by the fence, holding a gun, and he said,
"Shit!! They sold me a gay cock AGAIN!!"

AYC2007 Part 2-Games in AYC!

2007-08-15T17:31:00.000+08:00

Though we practise everyday from 9 to 9....but being youthful singers.....WE STILL MANAGE TO PLAY!!

The first game I have is just card game of 4 players... We play all kinds of card games in my room that night... after we went swimming....woooo, super cold...

so here are the players, from left is Anton, Fumiko, me, and Daniel....Daniel is the great big loser of that night....see he is holding the most cards... the one finish fastest is the winner...

OK, let's go to our 2nd game...not as boring as card game d....our 2nd game: Werewolves!

Let me explain the game first, maybe my readers can play it as well!

In the game of werewolves, there are 9 characters all together if we have enough players. Each charactor has different role.

The Villagers: This is the most boring character for me. Because villagers dun have any special power. They just ignorant and they only vote for people whom they think most probably is the werewolf, the person who get most vote is out of the game, and must reveal his/her true identity.

The Werewolves: So, they are the target of the whole game. Werewolves must coorperate to finish of all the good or ignorant villagers to win the game. Every night werewolves will transform and will kill a person each night. When the day time, nobody knows they are werewolves and they also will join the vote as the villagers do.

The Voyant(it means "light" in french): So we will have a few normal villagers and a few werewolves in a game. The Voyant is one of the good villagers who has special power. The Voyant got the ability to see the card of one person at a night, just one at a night. So the Voyant will know who are the werewolves if he/she survive long enough to see many cards.

The Witch: Witch is another good villager with special power. The which has a power to save and also a power to kill. In the whole game, the witch can only use each power once. The witch cannot see the card of the player when deciding to kill or save a person. So the witch simply got to be smart to guess which one is the werewolf.

The Little Girl: This little girl as the power to peek secretly when the werewolves transform. If the werewolves catch the little girl trying to peek, werewolves will immediately kill the little girl and not even the witch got the power to save the little girl.

The Hunter: The Hunter only can use his/her special power when dying..haha, if he has been vote out or he has been kill by the werewolves or witch or whatever... once he die, he can drag someone to die together with him. If he is smart, or lucky, he might pick the wolf.

The Cupid: Everybody know what is the job for cupid. So, cupid is only good for the first night of the game. Before everything start, cupid will choose the couple of the game, then the couple recognize each other's identity. Cupid doesn't know the true identity of everyone....just simply choose. If the couple is both good people, the game goes on like normal. If the couple is good people and wolf or both wolves, then they new job is to finish off everybody else in the game and be the ultimate winner. When one of the person dies, his/her couple will automatically die together as well.

The Thief: The Thief got the ability to change his card with the narator of the story, and then goes on like a normal game.

The Captian: This charactor only appear when the number of wolves and good people is the same. The players of the game will elect a captian and the vote of the captian is double. If so unlckily elect a wolf to become a captian.....oh, is just too bad....

So the narator of the game will tell the story, keep going day and night. Each night the wolves kill a person, The Voyant see a card, and the witch awake to decide whether to use his/her power. And during day time, we will found out who is dead, and we try to discuss who are the wolves and each day we vote out one person. It goes on and on until all the wolves are killed, or all the good people are killed.

So here is some pictures taken during our game...

Nathan our great great great narator is explaining the meaning of the card before distribute them to us. He is really funny guy, he makes the games become all lively. Here is our first batch of "werewolves" players....in Nathan's room, I had been DRAGGED from the practise room to come here and play. Is not that I am so rajin wanna stay there dun wan come and play, but Nathan never told me his intension and just chase me around and caught me, and then, I am here. See my weird expression....actually, we are not ready for photo shooting yet...(ps, one of us is our famous "Mr Bean" of AYC, do you know which one?)

So, the "villagers" and the "wolves" sitting in a circle and discuss actually who are the wolves....Actually, I am....hehehehehehehahahahahahahahaha....

after the game, no more villagers and werewolves, back to AYC members.... let's take a photo before our afternoon nap....the guy on my right side is the photographer earlier...and, one of the player Ivan Johan is missing, where is he?

here comes 2nd batch of people playing....we have got a bigger group, 19 players!! Promotion is good I can see...
See, we some more putting food in the middle....sambil makan sambil main... I am so dump never know the camera is shooting me...

Last round of the game, it is after the first performance... I dun have a picture of everybody, place setting is at Nathan's Lobby....so, first game at 2 floor, second game at the 3rd floor and last game at the lobby.....tres bien! Is townhouse DD...
I am explaining the card to Daniel, this Daniel miss the first two games, why I have the time to do the explaining? Because I am killed by the werewolves already... I was the witch is that round, after I use both my power, I am gone....

And this is Ega, who is our Mr BEAN....haha, he is the first to die.....it is because....HE IS TOO NOISY!!! playing with all the beer bottles....see, play 2 together some more....

So, next time ask this black version of Mr Bean to show you his Mr Bean dance....haha, actually after he is out of the game, he is even noisier, and after I died, I join his bottle playing as well, wahahahahaha.....

AYC2007 Part 1-Beverly Hills Town House!

2007-08-13T00:34:00.000+08:00

This year AYC we stay in a very luxurious place... well, luxurious to me la... It is Beverly Hills Town House in Bandung, Indonesia. Each house is 3 storeys. 6 of us staying in one house. Here is how it looks like from the outside....

ok, the photo quality is not too good. See the balcony on the 2nd storey? It is mine!! Really cool, at night after bathing can listen to the music and sit there enjoy....but not for long...it is cold at night. So, let's get into the house....

Welcome to my town house "I"....(Houses are named by alphaberts)

left view and right view at the living room.....OMG soooooooo nice!

Here is our kitchen.... all of us never use it....since we only see our house from 9pm(after rehearsal) to 8am (after wake up prepare to go for breakfast).... who will cook between that time?

dining area....ok that's all for the base....let's move up! and there are the stairs....

Tadaaaa!! Here is my room! I took the bed on the right side....nice and cozy....

and our big mirror and basin in the room.....

So I am now opening the two doors beside the mirror.....

left side is the toilet and right side is the bathing area....the room so big....but bathroom so petite....haih.... you know behind the mirror is a very big space for people to change clothes while do acrobics back there...

So, coming out from my room.....

I look down the stairs....

it is very straight......argg.....I mean a bit like the stairs on the ferry....scary when going down...

then I look up....thinking of exploring the 3rd storey....(3 people sleep in the 2nd-storey room....and the other 3 on top....I was arranged to sleep in 2nd storey one, with Obi and Monique.....luckily....)

The top doesn't look very nice.... and the features are same in my room....so, lazy Hui Hui didn't go up to explore....back to room and unpack luggage....then SHOWER TIME! Ahhhhh........

Flying to Jakarta!

2007-07-22T23:47:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow I will be flying to Jakarta to join my 3rd Asian Youth Choir music camp and performances. I am now very excited and not sleepy at all, though I am quite worry for some pieces that is very very difficult. I still didn't work out all pieces!

Actually, I planned to pack up all my things in this week end. Then, my friend who study in France one, came back for holidays and wanted to come to KL to visit me. So, I meet her up on friday night, and saturday morning we went for ice skating at sunway piramid... My friend pakar d la, because she always skate in France also. I am only 2nd time experience, but I am not bad as well, my friend said she is amazed....yeah! Hey, when I was a kid, I pakar roller skates one leh....though is a 2 by 2 roller one la...the old fashion one....

My 2nd time of ice skating is far more adventurous (in other word, scary) than my 1st time. There were altogether 4 accidents during skating....

Accident 1:

I went to skate with Zee Kin and his friend as well... his friend is a first timer, so I hold him once...and then, he fall backwards, pulling me to fall forward on him (we are facing each other), I din fall heavily, but, his leg accidentally kick on my left knee, and of course he is waering the skate....OUCH! now blue black d.... :-(

Accident 2:

When skating, there was a girl beginner on my left side....and she is seriously unbalance and I am sure I cannot hold her when I did tried.....she almost pull me down together, luckily I let go fast when I decided that I cannot help. (Learning from the 1st experience just now).... but then, it still cause me to be unbalance and start to sway to one side.... luckily there is another guy on my right side and I quickly hold him and he help me balance.... so, not falling this time......wheeeeeewww!!!

Accident 3:

Learning from the first 2 experience, I know that beginners=dangerous people....so I skate in the more inner circle, which are normally intermediate skaters. Who knows my bad luck hasn't over yet... A rather daring beginners skate very fast and try to be faster than me, when he try to cut the queue from my right side, he kicked my right leg from behind and of course I lost balance immediately, cause I never expected it... by luck, I still succeeded to stop safely.....

Accident 4:

This is the worst shock for me. By that time, I already can skate in a moderato speed and I am really enjoying it. Suddenly I heard a voice from behind shouting "Oh my god! Oh my god!", before I start to think what happened behind......BANG!! A guy langgar me from behind....I suppose he is an intermediate skater who just know how to speed up, but still cannot master how to slow down and avoid people....so, we both zooming in a presto or vivace speed to the front. Just imagine, I dun know a thing, and suddenly someone hit me, and I am rocketing to the front out of control.....naturally, I scream all the way to express fear and also to warn people in front of us to avoid us....then I change the direction to reduce the momentum, and I finally stop myself keep zooming forward....and, I let the guy alone zooming, of course it is much slower compare to the time when he just hit me.

So, skating is fun, only have one big spot of blue black which is other people's fault.....

UM choir is going for exam!

2007-06-19T19:11:00.000+08:00

This coming Thursday, UM choir is going for the gold assessment Trinity choir examination. Just now we just had our final rehearsal, our teacher said we sure will pass, but we need to work for flying colours la....

Because I never went for any of the rehearsals since May, just now in the rehearsal I keep making mistakes because poor memory power after "rest" for so long. Even a very minor mistake that I made will cause the whole choir stop to correct me....my gosh, so ashame.... Cham liao, minor mistake also people can hear from my voice, must practise before exam...

Our choir did improve a lot compare before May... I was hoping they were in the pessoc Choralffest too.... should put up a real good show...won't loose to the Ping Hwa girl school... though we din have so many action like the train song they sang, but we all music students can learn up more difficult repertoire for chorus....plus, I am in there leh! cheh.....wahahaha....what you thought how many choir can have me? Humph! :p

So I hope I won't do any mistake in the exam....with my voice that will be pretty obvious....so, practise practise la...

Haih, life...

Mandrin version:

ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, yi dan chong zou le, jiu bu hui zai hui lai.
ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, ze me la dou yi yang, ke shi mei ci you bu dai yi yang.
ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, you shi la de hen shuang, you shi la de hen can.
ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, ni yong yuan bu zhi dao, hui la chu she me dong xi.
ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, xiang yao she me jie guo, jiu yao xian ze me zai.
ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, wang wang nu li le ban tian, que zhi you ji ge pi.
ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, bu guan dian zhui de duo piao liang, ben zhi hai shi yi yang.
ren sheng jiu xiang da bian, zhi you zhi ji mo mo de yong gan mian dui.

shuo yi, da jia chang shuo "ni qu chi da bian la!"
qi shi, ben yi shi " ni yao rong ru zhi ji de sheng huo"

English translation:

Life is just like shit, once flush away, it will never come back.
Life is just like shit, no matter how you shit is still the same, but is still not really the same.
Life is just like shit, sometimes shit comfortably, sometimes cirit birit.
Life is just like shit, you will never know, what will you shit.
Life is just like shit, how you want the "fruit", how you must "plant".
Life is just like shit, work hard for the whole day, but only farts coming out.
Life is just like shit, no matter how you decorate it, the original quality is still the same.
Life is just like shit, only yourself must face it with courage.

So, everybody says "You go eat shit la!"
The actual meaning is "you must blend into your life."

This is taken from a news letter... what a "beautifully disgusting" poem....enjoy......

My Aural and Dictation Class today...

2007-05-05T22:53:00.000+08:00

note: for people who don't understand what is music dictation, music dictation is to write out the music score from what you heard. Is a listen-and-notate process. People who are interested to know more, please proceed, happy reading!

Long time never do music dictation already actually...since the aural class in UM is only kiddy stuff, I thought my skill already went down to zero.

But actually...there isn't nothing to learn in UM as well, there is something that I learned and I cannot pick up that kinda skill in any other aural class in the whole wide world.....wanna know what? That is.......ta-ta-ta-taaaaaaaa: The skill to guess what is the actual score... Don't understand? Let me explain.... the aural teacher always play several versions when repeat the short pieces for aural... everytime he repeated, it comes out different thing again, so I developed some kinda skill that can analyse from the different version. And at last, I will be the only one in class who can get full marks with no mistakes in dictation. For example, he is playing G# which is a bit "difficult" than playing G, so he will be a bit late....sometimes on time, sometimes a semiquaver late, sometimes a demisemiquaver late.....etc. But then I can still guess what is actually written on the score he is looking at....hurrah for me!

Ok back for todays aural and dictation lesson in Areca... to my own surprise, I did a superb job for today.... normally I will do a lot of silly mistakes such as: forgot to put natural after marking sharps before it, didn't care how long the note holds.....etc. But today, I did a perfect job.....see:

I have got 3 flowers from Mr Shimano, and see my score got no corrections....seldom that careful also especially the piece is quite tricky...

Then we learn soprano clef.....haih, never come across that clef before to tell the truth....see:

luckily is almost like transposing for A clarinet for a treble clef, but is still not very easy....wheew....

Later on we learn atonal sight singing from a book, which is:

this is my copy of that book....ps: is more beautiful than the original score oh....only the cover la...

Looking in the inside, whoa.......

see the gila gila sharps and flats....pening aku....

Then later on the bus, dun know is the effect of the dictation lesson that brainstorm me, see what have I done with my bus ticket:

nice green little volcano flower....

Les Crepes!

2007-04-28T00:06:00.000+08:00

Crepe, a french word, that means "pan cake". The pronunciation is similar as pronouncing "crap" in english. The place which is most famous for crepes is Rennes.

Ok enough for lesson, tonight my dinner is crepe. Me and my housemate who learn french try to make this crepe according to our french text book. So here it goes...

At first, 250g of flour+2 eggs+0.5liter of milk+a pinch of salt+some water.... then mix all into a watery paste, like this...

here is some tips in mixing the paste: make the flour into a small hill, then only add the water and milk and egg (liquid) around the "flour hill". Then slowly kacau in circle without touching the "hill", so that the flour won't become ketul-ketulan which drive you mad.

anyway, playing while taking picture is some additional activities you can do, like this:

Then, you put the paste into a pan and toss it around to make it round, flip it over when the one side is cooked, then voila, you got your first crepe...

looks like roti canai eh? it tasted different actually..... roti canai no milk..

Anyway, there is sometimes accident can happen, so kanak-kanak, jaga-jaga sikit ya?

like this one, after my housemate tossed it, she terambil the fire lighter on the right side to go and kacau instead of the wooden spatula at the left side.... well, this joke is a bit too dangerous pal....

this picture demonstrate how unprofessional a person can be....this "round" crepe looks like flying white devil with the small holes like the eyes.....haih....

Ok, next, we fry some chicken mushroom ham, bought in cold storage KLCC, not expensive one....

before

frying

after

Besides ham, tuna mayonaise can be another choice to go with crepes

to make it nicer, add some onions and heat the tuna mayonaise in the pans that you use to fry the ham just now....

After done it all, serve it nice and get ready to eat.

The crepes, the cheese, the ham, the tuna.....dinner's served!

Mon amis et moi, les cuisinieres pour les crepes.

My grand finale! my last piece of crepe, I put two pieces of ham and one whole cut of cheese spread....oh my goodness, this is really......Hallelujah!

See the panda girl eating the grand finale? Am I holding a clarinet instead??

Jeremy's Real Bad Day...

2007-04-25T22:15:00.000+08:00

Jeremy has had a real bad day in KL on 24th April 2007. I am writing this post not to reveal any personal issue, I only write out what makes Jeremy's day going from bad to worse....(so, I only write things that are not secret ok? can ya? :P)

Case no.1:

Jeremy wanna gets his clarinet fixed by changing a couple of pads. So he contacted Mr Tan and expected Mr Tan to fix it on that very same day, but......

Mr Tan : Jeremy ah? Today no pads here, tomorrow can ah?

Jeremy: swt*

Case no.2:

So, Jeremy got no choice but to come again the next day, but he din bring anything with him besides his clarinet, and he has no place for him to stay over night...

So I am very good and after discussion with my roomate she also agree to let him stay over for one night... see volcano also very good if no eruption..

Case no. 3:

In the middle of the night, I had a terrible nightmare that I am feeling so depress that I wanna die in that dream....but I forgot what is it d...and at the same time, Jeremy awoke and got shocked by my sobbing...

stupid nightmare that happened at the "perfect timing"...

Case no.4:

Actually he woke up because of stomachache and feeling very very hungry... but get scared by me la...ha ha...so he dare not wake me up and he go toilet for very long time until I also awake at last... stomach still feeling very painful and also too hungry to go pang sai...

Case no.5:

After boarding on the bus to go back, feeling completely happy, I suddenly sms him that I will go to MPO concert later(I also get to know this very last minute)... Penderaki's pieces... he feeling totally envy I guess from his sms...He could have stay for a few more hours he can watch that already...

So, that is the story of poor Jeremy with his bad days...let us all wish him good luck whenever he comes to KL...hehe :)

Since our itchy pessoc tong sampah manager write about his Japanese buffet, I also wanna write about japanese food...though all not so expensive as itchy's...(he must have bribe a lot becoming tong sampah manager)

So this is our everyday breakfast when we stay in Japan. Itchy, nice bo? Of course got rice, green tea and miso soup la, haven't go and take...

When comes to lunch, because our daily practise in AYC (Asian Youth Choir) practise from 9 to 9, so our lunch is a packed lunch, bit pitty la...

Looks simple but also yummy yummy, especially after rehearsal from 9am to 1pm, my stomach has turned into a rock band.

I had a very special "pizza" when we went out for dinner one night. It is really very delicious until it burn my tongue...ouch!

Actually I tried all kinds of special food in Japan, but din really took down all the food picture, maybe I go korek from friends and see...

Birthday....birthday...

2007-04-23T19:42:00.000+08:00

Today is my ex-roomate's birthday.

In my 20th birthday, she and my present roomate(Jing2) threw a surprise party for me. They bought me a tiny birthday cake....

really very tiny leh? kiamsiap jing2 and yen2.

As they dragged me outside the college, and sing me a very slow and silent birthday song (I wonder why...) then suddenly a big crowd of friends "screaming" a birthday song from behind! Surprise!

Here comes the surprise team...

Well, you can see...is all guys...see how attractive I am? cheh....(actually my roomate go ask one of my guy friend and ask him go chio other guys who know me). They hide behind 1st college pentas to prepare the cake and candles...

This is the "backstage crew", the white T is the one chio everyone to come..

so, I got to repay back for my good good ex-roomate when her birthday. Here comes the sushi master....(actually all rice only) haha....so this is our dinner (pai seh really busy for exam cannot plan surprise party only got rice party...)

The middle plate is boring sushi, the left is fish rice cake, the right is plum rice cake and vege rice cake, and the small on is the 3 flavour (fish, plum, and vege) added together.....yucks!!! Jing2 punya idea la...The birthday girl said the mix is worse than eating wasabi sushi.....
