Something to lift the mood..

The King Singers..with 'Honey Pie'.ENJOY!!!
U know, if you think that I'm NOT appreciative of your help, You are so Wrong. I'm sorry if I didn't get the chance to Thank you. I am Thankful really. If it isn't for your help I wouldn't have someone to help me improve, but things just didn't go well. The current happenings in the club just turns me off. I'm beginning to feel uncomfortable. I can't speak to the usual people like I used to anymore. You think I'm happy? I'm not somebody who take things for granted just so that I get the benefits, but apparently other people does that, or maybe even u that u didn't even realise. I feel totally out. I DO NOT want to be Mistaken for anything again. If u people want to frame me, spoil my reputation, u better think twice. The truth will speak itself. God knows. I dunno why I must go through this again. The club that I am most attached to, that I am closest to, and the great people suddenly make me feel like a stranger. It just hurts the most the the people closest to you hurt you.

Performance Day

Alarm went off at 9am, but only managed to get out of bed at 9:30am. Wake up so early on a Saturday morning to pack before going to UCC, but.. I forgot my BELT.. and I need belt for tt pair of jeans. =.= Met the guys at cck, but they're late! and I thought I was late.. =.- Had lunch, but accidents happen, good thing it didn't spill all over me.. My day wasn't going very well.. so had quite an attitude. Actually thought of going back home to get my belt but it'll cost quite some time, and we're already late, but wx lend me his belt instead.. gee.. just to hold me jeans can.. Things were quite rush at UCC.. I don't know why. Plus the last minute runs for A ca just made us more nervous.. and I think I started to go sharp again.. and we began to rush. I didn't have time to warm up, coz so many pple around, and my voice was kinda stuck. Sang a bit only. The gerls were doing make up. I did mine 1st before having dinner, but after seeing the food I decided not to eat. Spicy food.. nono.. I'm loosing my voice soon. Ate a piece of bread with chicken mayo.

I wasn't nervous before A ca item ok... I was just worried about going off coz just nice my voice is sorta stuck. The rest were nervous behind the curtains.. Chill.. be focus.. I'm quite used to singing in a group.. wx u also la.. still say me.. only can't tell by looking only loh.. hahaha.. I was quite disappointed and irritated when we're not allowed to go out during interval. 2nd half, the chinese songs, I knew I went sharp. I dunno if its just me. Ahh.. =.=

Finale..tried to hold back my laughter and sing.. haha.. Ohh.. I was super shock when they gave joe the Doraemon soft toy.. and they played the song.. hahaha!!!

After performance, changed and left, hmm..nearly forgot to take my shoes..=.= Wanted to join the nps peeps for supper, but dunno y i just felt abit out, not entirely becoz of it but also i'll be trying to fit myself into a grp, so left w the choir peeps. 1st time i decided not to join nps pple..hmm.. in the end its the 3 of us again.. choir pple went to town.. I'm too dead for town. Had sundae and pie at macs.. den go home.. and we actaully missed the last bus.. so took a bus to np and decided to cab home.. thnx for the ride..

I guess I was only 60% awake throughout, coz I dun really remember what I said.

Continuing from the previous post...

Friday (Long Day)

It's even week, so I had my 1st Floristry class. I'm beginning to feel the tiredness, kept stoning in the morning, and came late to class, lucky they were doing gardening. The moment I went to the lab, Eric(TSO) asked me if I brought covered shoes(coz I was wearing slippers), I said yea its in my bag. I brought a dress shoe instead of sneakers, my bag no space la. haha.. coz I have Full dress rehearsal in UCC later in the evening(if u noe wad i mean). Today is hectic la.. rushing from place to place. 1st Floristry class ended 1 hr later, and my fren and I rushed to canteen 3 to meet our fren for lunch and it was drizzling and we're holding a pot of flower we arranged in class. My main fern actually fell off on the way..=.= called 1 of the guys to help me get another fern, haha..=x and ohhhhh.. They helped me put my labcoat in the lab locker, but I forgot to take out my contact lense case... how silly is tt.. haha.. (I left it in the coat pocket as it was wet after i wore it during toliet break.)

Finance class from 2pm-6pm but it ended at 5pm, So Glad. Well, the content ain't that great, not what I expected. The lecturer, adjunct too, Ok la... but she brags. I know u're proud but no point bragging...... and the things she say at times just make me fill like arguing back la.. well, my fren did la.. =.= wx smsed me since before lunch, didn't recieve it until end of floristry coz lab has no signal. Finance wasn't that interesting so sms in class la.. well, I dun usually do tt kays. Suprisingly class ended at 5pm, and I can take my time to have dinner before going to UCC. wx just end class too so we decided to meet at Clementi macs. I didn't 1 to haf macs for dinner, but since its the fastest option, i gave in la.. lols.. and hmmm.. weird things happen, hai..sec sch kids..=.=

Made our way to UCC, they were doing random runs, basically A ca only sang during the last hour. =\ I had time to do some warm ups, actually the longest I have done myself before A ca songs. I was alone in the dressing room that's why. I knoe the dancers heard me.. hmm.. Hope I didn't sound bad..=X Went for supper with the 2 guys.. i didn't eat or drink, save money is 1 thing, tired is another.. haha.. matt made us take the train home...when we haf direct bus home..

|*29th April'07*|

Many Many things to write.. hmm let's see...

This whole week, very busy, so after yesterday, I'm sort of dead. Had Practice and rehearsal from Monday to Saturday excluding Thursday. Wao.. Sing sing and sing, and finally memorised the words.

Monday

Had usual IS class, went to the music room to practice before going for lesson, quite surprised that 1 of the 2 ke pple allow me to stay for a few more minutes. Gained another new book, the bag of books is heavier than my laptop + adapter. Returned to school in a hurry, for full dress rehearsal, only had a ramly's burger for dinner. A ca sang, heard that it was not bad. Had some confusion with the positioning though.. Went home around 11..

Tuesday

No class, but came to do FYP, and so unfortunate to see tis new adjunct lecturer that turns me off. No wonder I made a mistake and had to redo my stock solution. =.= Went to NPS clubhse, slack, pack food up to eat with bel and sam. Played Cello a while, den took my time and made my way to LT 26. Well, since performance is on Sat so I went for rehearsal, as they need to do some adjustments with the A ca pple. Prac till 10, went to macs at Bpp w the 2 guys. Didn't expect to have so much laughter. Ok, they made me laugh throughout, since we got our food. Don't remember why, and they tried imitating and do variations of my laughter..but I just can't stop. =\

Wednesday

The aftermath of a hectic schedule is taking its toll on me. Pulled myself up for 8am class. Lecture ended early, so went to the lab for FYP, but the freak lady is there and sorta chased us out, TSO moved us to a neighbouring lab. Well, You are rude. Seeing the innocent students get scolded by you for nothing.. sigh..
Did sketches and drawing for practical, not bad, I can draw if I want to.
Didn't have proper dinner, coz I snacked during practical, so kinda full. But ate 2 hmm.. something like pancakes(red bean + chocolate), just to fill up my stomach. Went for Full dress rehearsal, took my time too. A ca sang, and hmm.. some parts weren't great. Stress is showing itself. I suppose some pple dun understand that you have to be independent while singing A capella, that means knowing ur part extremely well and not depend on others for notes, except that we hafta look at each other for pulse and move with it. We're too tired for Macs, so we went home.

Thursday

A break from singing. Went for practice, seriously that move was hmm.. didn't expect myself to do it, but after a few tries I made it. But, due to insufficient stretching of those muscles, my 2 legs are aching.. hahaha.. I needa move more. Move it Move it!

I'm saying this, in a normal f/s manner.

Well, it is really great to begin happy, like hee haa everywhere with seriousness plus great communications and understandings. Well, of course these things start fine.. BUT, when it all starts to crumble, it's just fustrating. U feel lost. Like, what the heck happen, what caused it, and how to fix it. And it just gets worse when there's no response, not even a try or anything and let it just hang loose. Fustrating. Who even understands till this point.

As far as I am beginning to hate this kind of things happening over and over again, but the cycle just continues, so when is it gonna be stable, or rather that the above would NOT happen. It's great to have those beginnings but not when such things keep happening and obviously I wouldn't 1 another to be like this again. Its nice to feel this way once in a while but not when it drops from the peak all the way to the bottom and trying/or not even trying to find the way back up. I'm so not going to let this cycle repeat itself. Cannot afford to risk it. It's Too Much.

This Crumbles, I crumble too. Get it?!

Was really bored at work today. Not many customers to entertain. Plus I'm asked to use apple laptop to do a brochure, and I'm like so noob can. I tried Illustrator.. there's a template which I thought was useful, but I just can't seem to insert pictures.. and continue.. so was Stucked.. den.. no choice went to eat la.. dne come back.. my colleague she used iWeb and had a template plus some pics.. I was so glad la.. haha.. but it was a template for blog so there's this "abt me" at the top which can't be deleted.. lols.. wadeva.. but the end product was nice..hahazZ..

I kept thinking about the music lah.. aiyoo.. I was really tired.. just felt like sleeping coz chiong at night ma.. I got like tips from my teacher about arranging.. so I was sort of boosted.. and the result was not bad.. =) Plus I got the book from him just now.. so it'll help me along too.. BUT! my sibelius.. sigh.. can't safe coz not reg. and i tried, but the no. wrong. Why my frens can reg theirs but not me..and my printer.. just refuse to turn on.. and I cant print.. which just means that I can't turn off my laptop.. or esle I hafta write everything on paper..=.=" O.o
Might hafta arrange a medley instead.. well, shldn't be a prob if its something like tis current song.. hmm.. well my teacher said it'd be easier.. hmm.. hahaha.. Anyway, I am happy about the result of the arrangement although got a big gap to fill in btwn. hehs..

I know I'll tend to think a lot, not only certain things but everything for that matter. Sometimes it helps, but sometimes it'll kill. Why do I do that? Is it the insecurity that I have or what? But what's there to be insecure??? just1someimprovements. I guess that's y i'm hm.. hahs..Complicating.. x.X
You know.. I think that keeping things to myself is the best la.. everytime say out, either via blog or to some1 esle, is usually bad la.. pple either misinterpret or just dun understand at all..I think I just can't say, or it'll be bad la.. Being quiet is the best thing.. Although for me to keep mum about my thoughts is quite unbearable.. coz I feel the need to say it out.. but seldom pple understand.. so I think I shld try not to be bothered as long as I can take la..

|*Easter Sunday*|

I went for Easter Vigil Mass yesterday night (Saturday), so didn't go for mass this morning. Its only my 3rd Time attending the Vigil. I still find it quite a challenge to understand everything that is going on.. haha.. especially the beginning bah.. The 2nd time I attended I was singing in t he choir so it was quite fun. This time i was in the congragation, the whole thing was in four parts la.. It lasted 3hr 30mins. hehs.

Well, this year I felt that I did face some challenges during Holy Week, and I feel that I did reflect along with stations of the cross, with fast and abstinence. (all with understanding). On saturday the homily, I just felt Right. Prolly as long as I continue this way, I will have the strength to face my every obstacles because I know He will be with me. =)

Because He Lives, I can Face tomorrow
Because He Lives, All fear is Gone
Because I know He Holds the Future

|*6th April'07*|

Had dinner with my colleague Maby just now. Heard some stuff which I wasn't aware off. Quite funny and well.. surprising..-_^.. I just feel very glad that my 1st job is in this company. My colleagues are easy to talk to, well most of them. We just have to do our job properly that's all, serve the customers well, etc. There'll be fun and laughter if Boss and Manager are not stress.. haha..

On Monday, I was finally scheduled to work after like 3 months break. I was missed out in March prolly because the manager didn't take note of my mail.. =.=" Nvm tt. That day maby updated me about what's in the store and the stocks etc. den cal he updated me with things irrelevant to the store.. I'm kinda surprised that he told me those things la.. anywayz everyone was listening too. Some things just surprised me whereas others are really funny. Then there's this guy, who used to work there too, came and spoke to maby and I. When he heard my name he was like "Ooh, so U're Rebecca. I see, they spoke about you." I was like What?!! As in during their like trekking trip or what you know..

For 1 thing I really can't believe 'that' was true. Last time when boss or my other colleague tole me I think they're just joking/teasing me. But now tt's irrelevant already, but just now maby told me something, which is a few days b4 I return back to work. I didn't bother about it also. Actually I just don't believe it, but till now I think I believe them la. haha.. I'm just flattered. =)

Good Friday

If its for the sake of it instead of honest intentions, then its just pointless.

The Crosses I carry are largely the products of my daily life. I accept, and I know You will accompany me through.
I am Weak. Help me to curb my tongue and hold my anger.
Shan off the longing for pride, and glory, make me poor in Spirit but rich in You.

My Timetable is finally released, and you know what? I've changed class. Dang~ P02, I'm gonna hafta mixed with those people and the timings are just crap. Life of a P02 student ain't that nice huh.

I have like Odd and Even week thingy on 3 days, and den there's this 4 freaking hours breaking right smack in the middle, in which I start school at 8am den the next class at 2pm. I'm like wth?! and class ends at 5pm..=.=" Plus no class on alternate thursday. Well good and bad, I'll know soon. And finally, I'm going to multiple places, no longer at LSCT block for the whole week.. hahaha.. but hmm.. got class at block 50...level 6 somemore.. hmm..=\

|*3rd April' 07*|

I'm really damn sick of it already. I'm trying to be humble but yet I think I just made myself being covered up instead. It has been so many years, and I thought I can maybe gain some achievement in Poly but yet again, I'm just on the sideline. There are Chances, but its not given to me. At 1st I just dun1 to complain, I'm just close 1 eye, but den more chances and still the same. So do I voice out or not. If I do pple will say I'm just trying to fight with them, I'll just be continued to be sidelined.
My voice lacked style and I tend to sound choral, and I produce the sounds wrongly. Usually due to nervousness and I'm just said to be not able to sing correctly. I'm just confused, its not I CANNOT, I'm just NOT CLEAR of how. Then I can't sing the solo part coz I blend with the crowd so it does automatically put me into an ensemble and no chance for solo. Fine. and den some1 who can't blend properly usually gets the solo coz he/she has style in the voice. Does it mean that I cannot, ever, fullstop. just like tt?

Then I'm poor in improvision on the piano. Does that say that I'm not good enough to be an accompanist? So I'm one of the pianist who can play but just not very flexible, well maybe I'm just not used to it? Haven taken lessons for too long and just not up to standard. So does that make me Unable to play? Not good enough? so I'm just automatically shan off? Yea I'm not as gud. Fine. I admit, but does it mean no chance at all? No good equal No chance? So many damn years and still stuck just like now and nvr ever able to impress pple. what does it mean? I'm just Not fit to be a Musician? Or I should quit performing arts totally coz There's just no hope for me at all?

Might as well ask me to quit on myself totally.

Yea I definately sound Unhappy. I AM. Its just damn Unfair. I lack confidence, I dun dare to say I can, den I end up like this, Hell so no one ever see potential and Hope in me is it. (I'm thankful to those who have.) Then why the hell am I still performing for. I know u're good but U dun haf to look down on me. Damn it.

|*2nd April' 07*|

Why am I caught in this situation again? Why in this position again? Its very "can ku" lehs.. I want to help but somehow I just Dunno How? dunno how to approach, dunno where to start. Afraid to make any mistake, afraid to be stress rather than relieve. Just looking at what's in front of me.. its just so uncomfortable.. Can somebody help me?? Sigh.... its just to uncomfortable....
