First day sitting at 1st...
Feels kinda great...
All those beside are real good players...
And more you get to interact with coach...
But...
Pressure...
Pain...
Practice...
Practice...I really needa get more practice...
Well...No pain No gain...
Now I need to have pain...
Then I can have gain...
Fair enough...^^

Choir in our class...quite well...Everyone was quite into it AT FIRST...But then...They don't really practice music like we do everyday...Don't know the painful boring and wad seems meaningless practices...They haven't see the hard day's job with a perfect applause ending on stage...I hope that will be the vision shared by us all...Not..."Gosh...This is boring...Soooo sienz...","Adui...wanna sleep liao leh...", "I don't know wad are you talking about..." kind of things...

Maybe my classmates are more on the logical side...They don't feel the sound out...They try different ways...Forcing the right sound out...Some caught the technic...Some...Well...Kept on singing the wrong notes everytime...Today...I found out a special technic to be taught to them...To teach them how to sing the right note...It might be a good way in the future for me to teach music idiots=p
First...I call them to be quiet...Lolz...Then...I play the note with the keyboard...Tell everyone to open their ears now...N concentrate...Juz with you ears...Dun think anything else...Juz listen the note being played... After that...I tell them to put their hands on their ear...So that they can hear wad they are singing...After that...I tell them to sing out the note...WITH confidence...not logic thinking...Juz SING...with your heart...with confidence...and HIT the note precisely the first time...AFTER THAT...piece of cake...

Our progress is quite steady...Not the rocket shooting kind of improvement...But we surely aren't standing on the same place this whole time...Our class took some big steps together...Juz like when our class finally get to sing together with different sections...The whole pictures is out...Juz like when the song intro is finally nice to listen...The structure is being formed...I juz hope our class will continue be growing in that way...Without any sudden changes...This choir might be performing to 1000++ students at the skul hall...The last stage performance by J3F for 2009! Awaits us all!!!

Once agn...
I was back to the old dayz...after the hard long exam...it's another wave of hard long band pracitces...hip-hip-hurray???
NOOooo....
My lips...
My breath...
My lungs...
My stomach...
My brain...
Wow...
Soooo tired...But hey...no pain...no gain...N wad did I gained??? Music...The enjoyment of music...There be nth better...then enjoying ur hard long basics...and playing the great songs with ur best mates...The nicest treat...to the ears...


I was ask by coach today...He asked if I wanna chg to the sexaphone section...Really really tempting...But...haiz...spent 3 yrs with clarinet...N somemore...I m the first boy in...i dunno 3~4yrs who joined the clarinet?? Boys are REALLY rare in clarinet...But...most boys are the ones who are gud at this instrument...I myself...Haven't reach the point...But....I guess there comes a time...When Im suddenly in love with it...Then u'll c me fly with it...
Well...There comes a time...
Letz hope it comes fast...Cuz the singaporeans are comin'...HAaa

绿色树下堆满礼物

笑容在人们的脸上流露
喜乐从音符滑出
每一句真诚的祝福
化成天使为我们守护
爱的降临揭开了 圣诞的序幕
这是最美丽的礼物
叮叮当 叮叮当
铃声多响亮

Here i am...
Sitting in front of my com...
In the middle of the nite...
Enjoying my time after UEC...
N thinking of things...
Things long burried deep within my mind...


I've juz finished the SATB for our choir...(SATB means voice sections. S for Seprano/A for Alto/T for Tenor/B for Base). At first it would be pretty easy...Its only finding the chords rite??? When I started...I found out...tat this was a troublesome job...FINDING CHORDS...isn't wad it seems...seems easy...The chord arrangements can't be too simple but at the same time not too hard to learn...It muz be special but the one perfect sound is very hard to find...Then there's a whole bunch of other things bothering...Example...SATB means four sections...MEANS>>>FOUR DIFFERENT SCORE FOR EACH...gosh...When I finally thought of tat...it was too late to turn back...Nvr gonna say...I give up...

So...I made a rough copy of the piano score...Then I started playing the chords...N at the same time playing the parts in my mind...Trying to see the big picture of the whole performance...It's really really fun! But...talk abt the battery of my brain...Used up over 60% of it for UEC I think...Then these few dayz I dint get any good long rests...Woah...abt less than one week to the competition...I juz arrange the chords TODAY!!! My fellow frenz couldn't possibly learn it all at one day?! Then practice with the piano and other instruments will be a problem as well...I hope Kai Yun they all can think of a gud solution for this...Cuz...I think I will juz spend my left-over battery on how to make the music sound like...MUSIC!

With so many problems out there waiting to be solve...It all seems so...so....pecek...lolz...But...Nvr gonna say...I give up...Cuz there's a motivation...A target...A mission...Playing with music...is juz the thing I wan to do...It's juz the rite thing to get an headache for after the exams...
Nvr gonna say...I give up...



The long hard winter have passed...
The dark and cold sky...
Have been coloured by the flowers blooming in the spring...
All seems so well...
And it will be...
For a long time...
It's finally spring...
Lastly...
Gonna say this...once agn...
Nvr...gonna...say...I give up...
Never...

Finally...
All the hardwork given...
Hardwork???
Think so...lol
UEC has finally ended...

Today...
Sometime around 5 in the morning...
Somewhere near Ipoh...
A car lost it's control...
N crash onto the divider on the cars right...
If the car slided to the left...
There would be nothing left of it...
Cuz at the left...
Was the slope of the mountain...
The danger wasn't ended...yet...
The car was at the divider...
In the middle of the road...
In the middle of the nite...
Cars went by...
Missing it by inches...
Another had oso crash onto the divider so tat he won't crash into the car...
Thank Lord...
Thank God...
He blessed my father...
He protected him...
He gave him the sign as well...
Bcuz the man in the car who lost his control n crash onto the divider...
Is my dear o' Dad...
I am so thrilled to hear frm my mum tat he juz been tru a terrible accident...
The gud thing is he didn't got hurt...
The OTHER gud thing is tat...He didn't slide to the left...
If so....
God knows wad happens...
Thank God...


Actually...
It was something my dad asked for...
NOT THE ACCIDENT...
But...A sign...
A guidence...
He is troubled wif his job...
He wants to come back here to work...
But he is not sure whether to resign his current job...
Or continue...
So he prayed...
N ask for a OBVIOUS SIGN...
He nvr thought tat it will be happening on the road to Pinang...
The yellow light has been shown...
He imaediately handed his resignation letter to his boss...
N now...
We will c where the Lord wants us to take our next step...
Once agn...
Thank You Lord...
For protecting and blessing my dad...
Thank You Lord...
For oso watching over our family...
Thank You Lord...
For giving me peace during my UEC...
Without You Lord...
I am nothing...
So...
Thank You...
For everything...

The long awaited finish...
Last day...
