Recently, I've been having sneeze attacks. I sneeze for no apparent reason, or rather, i have the "I need to sneeze now" feeling. It might be a blessing in disguise =) Or it might be an impeding disaster =(

Anyway, I got into the Semis of Impresario =)!! Qi Shi Wo Ai Ni got in and I'm super happy and excited about it. I hope I can record a better version to be put online for online voting. Judges count towards 70%. 30%'s online votes. Really hope to get to the finals. After that, whether I win or lose doesnt matter le =)

Looking thru Almido photos... Really heart warming. =)

I just received an email from CAC Impresario about my song compositions. Results would be out over the next few days, and I'm nervous! It's because I have high regard for my own compositions =x

I got my NS Unit. 740 Guards. I've met a few ppl who are in the same unit as me. Hope to discover more =)

To date, I've yet to meet another fellow composer whom I think makes good music, or rather, music that appeals to me. I would want to meet one, and to compose together. And this person, preferably a guitarist. Then again, I would learn more on piano if this person is a pianist. Haha.. got good got bad la.

Chinese New Year is coming! I dunno if I'm excited or what. Perhaps it's this original composition I'm listening online now. Super touching. Really talented ppl out there waiting to get spotted. Like mee =))

I'm back from Msia with Almido! It was not as fun as I thought it would be. But an enriching experience with each other!

The highlight was probably the crazy stuff we did together, and the late night talks. I think those are the stuff we can take most from the trip.

I really think tj can be a super nice girlfriend. Really a very nice person.

A lil jet laggy due to weird sleeping times over the past few days. School's starting, NS unit 740 Gds. Haizzz...

I feel that I'm distancing from my secondary school friends. Is it me? Pls enlighten me. It's like although we know each other for 9 years and counting, it doesn't hurt to do things that ppl do when they first meet. I recall cooking for them last year for xmas potluck too. The response I got was totally different for that I got from Almido.

They would say that they dun say it if it's good, but criticize terribly when it's not done well. I feel vv disappointed and sad. It's like my birthday party! They came late, and left after an hour and caught juz the opening of the show. I was and am terribly disappointed.

I spoke to them, and they said tt they left to watch soccer and drink or something like tt at Pasir Ris. They left cuz they had that planned out. To me, a 21st birthday party is less important for friends of 9 years than changing their plan of going out to drink? It's totally absurd. I did the show party because of them. I wanted to show them how much music means to me and stuff. On top of the leaving early, 6 of my closest friends couldn't make it on that day.

I'm feeling disappointed just thinking back on this. Your friends of 9 years left your party early just because they had plans? Like come on pls! And they said that it was because of my show. That my show was boring etc. Every show would be boring if you think it is. I agree that the first half wasnt as exciting as the 2nd half, but they missed it and left, thus giving me no chance for redeption. I asked everyone about the show and the response was that it was not bad. Gaby shocked everyone. Haizzz.. They even said that they were playing card magic tricks during the performance. Like get high with the crowd, hype up. Omg.. AhhHHHHHh!!!!

And when they said that they're going to make up by having a gathering on the following Sat, it was total bullshit. The plan was postponed to the next Saturday cuz of the girls couldnt make it on the earlier Saturday. I told them that I would be in Msia the following Sat. So yea.. make up to me.. Bull shit.

Terribly angry ahhhh!!!

So much hard work and planning yet.......
Maybe I should add on..

2008.. Hmm.. Eventful year. I got in M5, and slowly fading out of it. Many things are unpredictable. I met a few people in M5 who loves music, and although we are leaving M5 one by one, we are still very much in contact. Closest would probably be David. He's a pro guitarist who has perfect pitch. A fellow music lover instrumentalist. I brought him into Voices, and I'm glad he's met fellow music lovers and playing music together now.

Other than that, Uni started, and I met some really nice ppl. Mushu and Almido. I feel close to Almido.. I dunno how many ppl actually read this, hope everything read here is no taken too personally.. Haha.. I think Tianju is really a vv vv nice person. I'm not saying the rest aren't but it's a personal thing maybe. I was telling Yanzhu that if I were to go on a trip and to pick one of the girls to go with, who would I pick. I told him that if I were going on a leisure trip for fun holiday, TJ. But if I were going on something like Amazing race or Survivor, I'll pick Michelle. Wendy is a little between the both of them. This speaks lots on them.

I think to a certain degree, we've come to a stage which we feel that we are close enough, and we are starting to take each other for granted... to some extent. Initially, we try hard to be close. Now we are close, that's why we dun really do much. But i'm surprised at the Xmas potluck we had. I was really amazed at the gift exchange. Peopl making stuff. Especially Michelle's gift! It was really amazing. I grabbed my gift off the shelf and I'm really guilty of myself.

Oh Xmas eve. Pris joined almido out. We went to Aston's for dinner before roaming around Taka before finding an ulu spot to sit and talk before going to Geylang for food and durian. Parking there was terrible though. But the food at Aston's was great as usual. I made an order for the prime roast and it was really really good. Yum Yum!!

Uni.. my life in Voices was a good learning experience. I've met fellow music ppl whom I've been trying hard to find before. I realised that it's fun to play music with ppl with similar standards and direction.

Hark music.. I got in their performing team once again this year, and I'm learning and gaining experience on performing with different ppl. I met one girl.. Bernice. She's a rather good singer with loads of confidence. It was encriching working with her. I've not worked with anyone like tt and I feel that it's a pity I'm unable to work with her cuz she quit HPT. Our performance were raved about the most. I dare to say that I'm at least top 2 in pop piano in the team, and she's definitely top 2 too. The guitarist I'm working with isnt that good. I recall working with David and Tze Wei. It was much easier. Haha! =X

Perhaps lastly.. I dunno.. Mixed feelings once again. Getting old... =)
I finished an event for Countdown. I was the Back Stage Manager or sorts.. gathering ppl to get ready before their item etc. It was the first time I'm doing this and I've learnt quite a bit which I could probably use in Emerge.

I met a few artistes too. Liu Geng Hong is unfriendly! Dao! Cool! Fake! Haha.. But Jim Lim, Eric Ng, Wu Jia Hui were very nice, warm and friendly.

Anyway, it was an experience performing too.. I sang Ai Wu Ji Xian on stage.. Haha...

But in the midst of these all, I got scolded by Pris.. And I'm guilty a lil. That I am at Coundown instead of with her. Nvm la.. gain some, lose some. I'll make up.. So muz add smiley face ah =)

I dun put photos up cuz everything's on friendster. Unless I spot something interesting etc. Oh ya.. hmph! No one asked to ask photo with me ah.. So sad =(
