Gracious Genting

Sunday, November 30, 2008

Hey what's up, folks! Yup, I'm back from Genting!

It has been a crazy week and I'm not ready for an update yet. A lot just happened and my mind is still slowly digesting all these memories. I haven't done a reality check on myself and I'm finding it hard to make any sense out of this.

I travelled across the waters between Singapore and Malaysia...

Didn't stop to admire the beauty of the Genting International Convention Centre as I was in rush to the washroom...

Played Merry Widow and screwed up, not surprisingly, again the 12th part of the song...

Amazingly, PRSS Concert Band achieved a GOLD and was announced as the TOP band in the whole competition...

Attended an energetic lecture by none other than Mr. Mitsuo Nonami...

Had fun in the sun at the Outdoor Theme Park.

Travelled across the waters between Malaysia and Singapore...

And now I'm back in my comfy home, filled with nothing but gratitude for this amazing, whacked-out trip.

I REALLY regret saying that I regretted making the volition of going on this trip.

And now, I just have to let this beautiful events sink into my brain and keep them locked up in a safe so they can never escape.

Butterfly

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

All I can say, I found a way to free myself from this monotonous lifestyle and I'm doing it alone.

Bringing only a bagpack and wearing casual clothes, I'm going to tour around Singapore, going to exotic places that I've never been before and experiencing a whole different culture. I need something enlightening to breathe life into my once-again broken soul. And I believe that this trip will let me bare my soul to the world and allow it to heal from its pathetic state.

I want to clear my mind, refresh it, squeeze out its contents out. I want to be reborn again, forget about all these mind-blowing shit. Re-energize my body and this time music cannot aid me.

Whenever I close my eyes, I don't see shades of blue skies and white clouds. I smell nothing, I feel cold all over. There is no taste of fresh new air. Silence is creeping towards me.

Why is this happening to me?

I need to be a Butterfly

I've been working, working and working and there seems to be no vacation given to me yet.

When will this end?

A song that rudely woke me up from my slumber.

No hatred for this melody, only love for it is hauntingly beautiful in every strum of the guitar.

Awe-inspiring meals that takes out the hunger inside of me and strengthens my devotion towards food.

What may seems as ordinary food is sprinkled with condiments and flavouring, making it succulent and providing a touch of surprise for the tastebuds.

Is the girl of my dreams unaware of my feelings or is she refusing to acknowledge it?

Using her visage as an innocent angel, she is waiting for me to approach her so I could unwittingly be stabbed by the red flaming pitchfork that she has been holding it behind her back.
...

Life does has it surprises...

Pleasant and hateful ones.

A Beautiful Mess

Friday, November 14, 2008

O Levels has come to an end. All those nights rummaging through the tattered textbooks and notes with a plate of MacDonald's meal by my side to satisfy my growling hunger is finally over. I became nocturnal with all these late night habits. Hearing things that aren't there, playing spooky online games(http://www.hotel626.com/), chatting with dear seniors and friends, was how I used to roll at night. And now, I guess it's time for me to close the book with this chapter and move on to better things in life.

I can't believe that I'm saying this but I miss studying. I used to hate studying. All those flipping of pages with unwavering concentration made me so sick of studying. But you what people say, when you start to be good at what you do, you naturally love it. I guess I pulled off a huge gamble with myself. I told myself: "Don't worry too much, you're going to do well at O Levels" when I got predictable stinky results. Well now at least I outdid myself. I think I did better than at Preliminary Exams. So I'm looking forward to uhh..better results than Prelims.

You guys want to know what's my opinion about O Levels? Actually I love O Levels a lot. This might sound crazy and absurd but that's how I really feel. O Levels is neither a chore nor a duty, it's like a game. Either you make it or break it. It's a once in a lifetime experience for all, unless you count yourself unlucky and you have to retake it. Sure, it's tiring but the experience is memorable. Can you remember when is the last time you study this hard and it's just to enter an institution? All those nights when you call your friend to confirm the colour of the precipitate, telling him to try out a Math question in the Ten-Year-Series and discussing which factor of Singapore Governance is the most important...Man you don't get better suffering than this.

So what now, you ask.

I don't know.

While I'm standing in my School Band room, studying the musical notes on my music score, my friends are out there working. My friends are now working in Tampines Mall's NTUC, selling beef during the Christmas period, earning $4.50 per hour for 7 hours. He said he could make approximately $800 every month. I don't know how true is that. Trust me, I haven't done the calculations so I've no idea.

My room is probably in the worst state at this time. Books are all stacked according to their subjects and I don't feel like cleaning them up. And I'm in the worst condition ever. I'm half asleep all the time with long sideburns sporting out and hair cut appointment ain't due til next year January, unless my parents make me go to the barber.

Oh man, I'm gonna look like total shit in the coming months.

It's been a long time since I've touched the net.

It's hard for me to talk about anything right now because my neurons are just wiring plethora of information to my brain and I am clueless on what to talk about. I've been chucking sentences out of this post and re-typing on a new topic. I guess this is what you call a Writer's Block. Or in this case, Blogger's Block.

I apologise to my dearest computer for neglecting it over these past few weeks. Yeah I know, champ comp, I miss you too. And no, I ain't having any affair with my handphone or my iPod Shuffle so don't be upset over those, uh, "rumours". It's just that your good friend, the Internet, died on me, man. But it's all right. Without the Internet, I am given ample time to study for my exams.

And I'm sorry to my die-hard readers who have been expecting a new post everyday but only to find themselves disappointed, starring at the old posts. Well I heard from a vivid reader that she misses my posts...Aww, isn't that sweet? Well...I'm back, baby!

So what's been happening to me these few weeks? Of course, I bet you people knows that I've been put through a series of important examinations that can determine the course of my future. It wasn't an easy journey, especially with the first week when all the papers thrown at me everyday. O Levels journey is probably one of the best experiences I ever had in my entire life. And I'm planning a lot of things to enjoy my holidays til the release of results.

After O's, I'm going on a trip to Genting with my school band for a Band Competition. So I've got at least a week to practise whatever I got to learn and showcase it to a panel of judges. On the 21st, I have a Prom Night to attend and I just came to know that the girl I want to ask has already been booked. Luckily, she's not with any guy, but with a girl group. But still, damn...

After Genting, I've booked my close friend-cum-senior to go out to celebrate the end of examinations. Though I just read a little on her blog, but man, she's got herself a really heavy schedule and she's bored of her life. All I can say, if you really cannot make it, don't push yourself and just let go...But, of course, the best is to push on as much as you can and enjoy the fruits of your labour. It'll definitely be the sweetest moment of your life.

There'll be addition of new segments of this wonderful informative blog. A few weeks later from now, a new series of "Xing You's Infinite Playlist" will be posted on this very blog. It introduces the top few songs of a genre that I find absolutely rocking. To aid this new movement, I'll be using iMeem to let you guys sample the songs that I have introduced and hopefully, you will enjoy and widen your perspective about lyrically-written songs. *Singing* Lucky I'm in love with my classmate...

Things have been good so far for me, except that Prom Night bit, and I'm wishing that all these won't go away. And here's to good O Levels results and a bright future! Cheers, people.
