Blowing my own trombone

I thought I was going to play the violin this semester for Modern Music 1.
Oh, how wrong I was.
In fact, so many people were looking for violin too, I was left with no choice, but the brass and wind section.

Brass and wind, meaning the instruments are only meant for blowing.
Okay...

The list was almost full when we were able to grasp the list of names and instruments.
The only instruments available were the sax-es and the 3 trombones.
All I can say is, when situation forces you to a dead end, you have gotta pick what is left.
I had to go for TROMBONE.

Music class is held every Wednesday night at 10pm-11.30pm.
If you think it's one class you are able to skip and pretend that it's non-existant at all, well, you are terribly wrong.

The University has made it a rule that each student is compulsory to take 3 CREDIT HOURS of curricular activites.
Activities which you have to attend lectures, and to go for practicals and go for final exam papers.
Usually it would be easy to pass..but sometimes, shit happens for no particular reason.

Alright, back to my trombone.
I have to take music class, playing the trombone.

It's a heavy instrument, which requires alot of upper body strength, and strong,long arms.

I certainly don't have to lift weights from now onwards.

And I don't even have enough air to blow it.
I think my asthma is gonna return any time soon..

My notes run out of tune..and I don't even know what's the exact sound for each note I play.
All I know is for 1, you pull like that; for 2, you pull further; for 3, you pull even further...and so forth..

Like what the hell right?

I think no one knows the exact sound for each note too. There's the flute, the saxaphones, baritones, trumpets, clarinets..and trombone lah..

Well, classes go on every Wednesday night, without fail..and if you think I have given up on playing, ..err..all I can say is, I found a reason to go to class every Wednesday.

I found my inspiration.. hehe..he..sounded so wrong..=P


--sempat posing lagi...

Some things that we can't hope to come back..

I miss having people to call to..

People to text message to..

People to look forward to meeting with..

People to meet during the holidays...

and someone to expect my return during the break...

I miss yumcha sessions..I am so blardy homesick..I just want to wake up and look at myself, that I am not far away from home..
I miss you, dear..always do...

Pictures I am not able to read in my computer

Finally found this picture. Taken at Goh's place, on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year..I don't have problem naming everyone, so here goes...
Above: SingJoo,Yuet Shau,Maylee, Geraldine,MeiYenn,TzyYin,Kyean, PhooiYee, Waiyen
Below: TingYi, Khian, Justin, Goh, Avinesh, TuckFai

It was nice to catch up with the ol' ACSians once more. And Avinesh still remembers me..Lol..and to think that I was going to be out of their wavelength..hehe..

Well, this picture taken at Yeesan's place, by Zhao. As usual, no problem naming everyone..
From left2right: Khian,Mel, Foo,Lydia, Yeesan, EuQueen, YiFang, Karmun

Taken at Yeesan's place too. This time, her part of the house. One happy family. This picture is one of my favourites..so happy..and people here, looking stunningly gorgeous..(yep, including me..!)

Taken at GinnYit's place. We used to be close, back in high school. He and Karmun were both my mummy and daddy..too bad, things are no longer that childish now..However, he remains my friend.
Starting from the guy with blue shirt and specs on:
TatWoon, EuQueen,Paul,Jeremy, Yeesan, SeongChen,Khian,JoelOng's GF,Joel Ong, GinnYit,Karmun,YuetShau, KuenChien, (*I don't know his name, but I know who he is..), Wilson (only know who he is that day..)

Me, busy eating dinner, and Yeesan, asked me to camwhore with her. Gosh, here I looked so blur..

No wonder my parents were complaining that I have a lot of friends..I keep going in and out from the house. Hahha..

*If you think I am still not over with CNY, yeap, you are very correct. I am still in the NewYear mood. !!

For those who are still sceptical..

I think News travel fast, especially when you stay in a small town, like Ipoh for instance.

So, I was having an online chatting conversation with one of my friend, and out of the blue, he told me that he heard that I have became rather girlish, with the handbag and heels during the New Year, and he wanted to confirm what he heard.

Oh MY gawd..

Chinese New Year has yet to end, and news have already travelled all the way to UK?
OH gosh..

See, the reason why I didn't want to change so drastically because I am afraid that the week hearts cannot take it..
And if one day, I don on a skirt, I think I will be on the newspaper headlines.
And if I were to be in a dress, I think the radio DJs would be busy announcing it on air.

Okay, not to that extend, but it's certainly heading towards that direction!

I guess the womanly instincts are slowly seeping in now.
I supposed I bloomed slower compared to the rest.
Blame the hormones!

That's ME, Maylee and PhooiYee at Goh's. I am really getting fatter every year..and yes, that's what I have hanging on my shoulder..no photoshop-ing.

CNY part2

CNY

People has been complaining about my blogpage being abandoned for such a long time.
Chill okay?
It's the CHINESE NEW year, for goodness sake..
Give me a break, and I shall come back with more..but sigh, since there are IMPATIENT people around, a sneak preview of what I have been doing for the past 3 days.

Out for house-visiting and come back around 1 something in the morning.

Daddy's been lenient these days. =)

Actually I went out for alot of things, but didn't manage to capture any pictures, thus the words and not the pictures..
Well, what do you actually do in Chinese gatherings?

You drink and gamble, of course.
I have been taking in alot of sugar lately, with soft drinks and packet drinks served.
And the only time you get to drink water(as in pure H20), is when the host is being polite and he/she ask you what is your preferable drink.
But usually, if you ask for water only, they will usually say,
"Har, water only?Come, drink some Pepsi!"

Like that, may as well don't need to ask right??

One thing which surprises me this year, is that although it's the new year, I have not touched the mandarin oranges a single bit. Hmm, which probably explains why I kept losing my money in gambling sessions. I should perhaps, eat one of those, tomorrow.

Chinese New Year lasts for 15 days, afterall.

Plenty of time to go. 3 days down, 12 days to go.

Reunion gatherings are starting to scare me a little.
Aunties whom I have not met for almost a year, came to me, asking me when am I getting married.
"Hello..."

I am only 19++, not even touching the twenties yet, and already wanting to marry?
Puh-leeezzz..

All my older cousins are in the same boat too. Same questions being shot to them since they were 24 and above, but hello, I am only 19++, and already preparing me for that?

Grandma was being pleased that I actually dressed up for the event, looking girlier, though still in my Levis Jeans.. (Yeap!Dad got me a pair of Levis, and I am not going to wash it, since Keehui and Kenneth said it's VINTAGE if it's not washed!)
Got myself a NIKE handbag, though not entirely lady-like, but I am heading towards that direction, 3 hurrahs?

Younger cousins are being nicer.
There's this cousin, who's 5 years old, actually called me "Leng Lui", instead of "Janice che-che"..
Got scolded by her father for being rude, but got a sweet from me, for being honest!

Dad rolls his eyes everytime my cousin calls me. I guess he's just jealous since I am not his wife.

Tomorrow's gonna be another day.
Assignments and lab reports, remain untouched.
I am so dead...(*choi!!, cannot say words like this...Must say..errr...I am so alivvvveeeee....NOT!*)

Hehhe...

*I have to be grateful that most of my friends are not around, or else, I would die of exhaustion for travelling here and there..On the other hand, I should be thankful that there are people around to accompany me through this festive season and I don't have to think alot..
p/s: Am I looking fat?

Avianphobic no more?

I guess not.

We had our second "Civil Hi-comm" meeting cum dinner tonight in KFC, Batu Gajah.
All 4 Hi Comms were present and minutes were taken by our secretary, Hapreet Kaur.
If I am able to get the minutes soon, I shall post the whole thing here.

We had a scrumptious meal there, after being trapped in the campus for such a long time.
We exchanged our views on certain matters, and was updated with several news which was not noted during the weekdays.

Our President, TeeHooi was delegating tasks to the 3 of us, hoping that it would be done a.s.a.p.
Vice President, ShiouTing was as usual, being scary and funny at the same time.

We are still considering to recruit new members, as many of them are looking forward to joining the "Hi-Comm" and was seen, kept asking alot about our meetings.

The 3rd meeting was decided to be held in Ipoh, steamboat for dinner.
The meeting was adjourned at 7.35pm as we had to rush back for a 3-hour lecture.
Damn!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you..The 4 Hi-Comms of Civil Club.
The important people, the centre of network, and the barrel of laughters..

Chilling out (picture post)

Feeling rather fucked up lately. And tired.
Too tired, in fact. Emotionally and mentally.
Physically Weak.
And perhaps, this blog page is turning to a depressing outlet for me.

illegal Investment.

Actually don't have to say much lah..
Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and ye' know, it's a weekend here in Campus, with nothing much to do..
(in actual fact, we have assignments due in a week's time)

Maybe another game tomorrow...*shrugs*

Had a satisfying dinner tonight, but after the "lil genting", there was hunger attack!.
Debated whether to go mamak or not, then finally, don't want to go already lah..coz tomorrow early morning, wanna go breakfast in Tronoh!

Carina looking happy while playing the cards; Punchee calling the Ah-long for financial backup; Noni adjusting her glasses to look at the cards clearly; Crescentia guarding her money from us; Me, looking cool and steady..
Lol.
* If this gets to the rector, we are dead meat.

What do you do on Saturday morning?

You would probably wake up late..
Or some of you would wake up early for the weekend cartoons..
Some of you might not even wake up at all..

Let me tell you what I would do, if I have the Saturday morning off..
I would spend my time, sleeping..To lose all my eye bags which are now looking hideous on me.

But too bad..I just don't have that kind of time anymore.
I have labs on Saturday mornings and even luckier, lectures on Saturday nights.
What happened to my weekends, darling?

No more waking up late on Saturday mornings.
No more going back home on a Friday afternoon.
And no more Saturday cartoons..

And what gave you the idea that I am happy about it?
Never forget, I have a very misleading smile,..at times.

Thought you should know, I tried my best to let go..

It's getting hard to, being around you;
There's so much I can't say;
Do you want me to have the feelings, and look the other way?
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not, Coz I don't know how to make a feeling stop..

Just so you know, this feelings taking control of me, and I can't help it.
