Jenny(Csus4) Guitar Concert

For those who missed it, here it is.

Tonight: Japan

Before i leave, i just thought i should leave a post.

feel like talking about my spoilt laptop.(which is an apple by the way)
i am thankful for it, and glad that it's the first time it died in 2 and a half years. however, i feel foolish for not backing up my project files for my songs. Now, i lost all of them.. roar. Which means i have to rerecord all my songs which will probably take me about 20 hours.

Anyway, i wrote a song last week in preparation for 24/5/08, which was saturday.
Crazy coincidence, coz the song i was writing is called a hundred days. then, i thought hmm.. 100 days. when is it from valentine's day? so, i counted and woah. its busking in the sun day. cool. aiya, anyway.

A Hundred Days

verse 1:
I'll catch this plane, Fly 'cross these borders and plains
If it means finding you at the end.
I'll sail this boat, down this raging river,
If it means you're at the end waiting.

Is this goodbye now? Is this the end of us?

Chorus:
A thousand miles may separate us,
but my heart goes all the way.
A hundred nights i'm thinking of you,
though a hundred days are gone.
and i'm standing here waiting, for something,
i dont know what it is.
and i'm picking up pieces and pieces, they just dont seem to fit.

verse 2:
Look at the sky tonight. Do you see the stars up high?
I'll pick one down for you. Fighting atmosphere and space.

Is this the last time? is this the last goodbye?


Its been a hundred odd days since vday, and i always wondered what would happen. apparently i found out that nothing would. However, am still glad in some kinda weird way.

Busking in the Sun

busk in the sun. yesterday. orchard. wheelock. drama, check. tension, check. disappointment, check.

My band and i. planned it for a few days. foreseeing how it was supposed to be, how it was meant to be. yet, it wasnt. God used his divine intervention to prevent me from doing anything stupid, which i was going to do. Yet, i praise him even whether i win or lose, am satisfied or disappointed.
you guys must be wondering wad the hell happened. Lets break it down for you

My band planned to sing the song i wrote for a certain someone in the middle of orchard road, in front of many other VJ people. So, we used our means of networking to get everybody(guitar girls) to get her down. At this point, i would like to thank Yin hong and Stephanie for trying to make it happen.

Well, she did appear to come and support us. but out of the 6 songs, she was only there for the 1st and the 6th and final song. when the dedication song was the 5th song. yea.. when i went up to sing, jenny was like frantically on her phone asking yin hong to bring her back. and the girls were like, sing slower! she's coming!
but, as timely as it could be. She only appeared back when i JUST finished the song.
amazing.

I wanna thank all of you there, those who were there, and knowing what was happening. I could see the sad faces on everybody, especially bk and jerm. haha. Thanks for being a part of something that didnt manage to happen.

I've been praying much about it, and i realised as much as God can do anything, he also has the power to make anything as such. and i should never be disappointed coz God's plans are higher. I really like her, but wad can i do about it? other than trying my best to impress her, i dun really know. Now, i am changing my mindset. I'll impress God coz he is more than worthy. And i'll channel wadever energy i have thinking bout her into praying and blessing her.

Dun wanna start preaching, but yea. God's time is the most timely time.
Motto of it all, loud in faith, strong in resolve, silent in obedience, quick to submit.
:D

Of reunions and practices

The last week of school is probably non-existent. 2 half days, and a full day off.
and.. i didnt go to school on tuesday and monday was a public holiday.
Hahaha.
This wednesday was a wad i call a reunion day, i met lots of long lost friends. no la, haha. Some friends i last saw more than a year ago. Anyway, there was soccer finals against MJ, i initially wanted to go home coz there was band concert at night, but by some chance i went there in the end. At the stadium, Le dung, my buddy in sec 4 asked me if i was there and he came down to the VJ territory and sat down with me. then he called cherish down. cherish's my really good friend whom i got to know as my first 3 months classmate. and then dominic appeared too. another first 3 months classmate who is also cherish's current classmate.
me, nug, dom, cherish

Then, after the kinda sad lost in the soccer game, i stayed back at the stadium to wait for joel foo to finish his SC stuff and we went off to marina to catch the VJCSB
in action. :D met up with so many of my batchmates, people were like looking at us and were like, wah, why so many people from different schools together. Got vj, tj, mj, acj all together. and not to forget reuel from cooking school. wad a mix.


Edwin(my band major), Joel foo(the guy who plays tuba), Reuel(My sectionmate) and me. (i play drums)

i slept a couple of times during band concert.. and i missed dafril's piccolo solo. :(
And for the last two weeks, i have never reached home before 9pm once.
And i'm going to japan on monday, be prepared for a heck load of pictures.
Cheers.

Some thoughts

So guitar concert is over. It was great, but knowing that everything is over kinda makes me feel really empty in a way. no more looking over in a certain direction during practice, no more stupid comments from retarded people. Just last week, i thought it would be great that guitar was over, so i can start studying, but it's just different now.
That morning at macdonalds with the guitar people made us all really sad. at least for me.. when she left and said," i wont be coming for practice again. " and i just stared and waved bye to her.
that emoness together with my flu made me kinda miserable today, so i kinda gave my mother some attitude. But, i was quite amazed at the fact that she didnt noticed anything was wrong. Shouldn't a mother know when to keep quiet, or be sensitive to their child's emotions? she just kept nagging at me for i dun even know wad while i was in the toilet stoning. And the best thing was when i came out of the toilet, she said " One day God will teach you a lesson. " i really wanted to scream i tell you. Why would a mother say that kind of things to their children. Not that i dun love my mum, i know i was in the wrong, but i forgot to take out my clothes out of my bag. What the heck. Gimme a break la. Can nag for 10 minutes because of that.
Sucks.

Not feeling very good this past week. Kinda lost.
Pray for me guys.

A randomly insane day

Life's never dull in JC. haha.
Especially when you have a bunch of boys in class. So, Benneo's birthday was on Sunday, so everybody celebrated his birthday yesterday. What was especially cool was walking into a computer lab with 18 balloons, the floaty ones all over the class.
JC life also includes the huge detours in our planned activities. I wanted to go home to like catch up my tutorials and stuff. But during the break, we were talking about rugby finals, and lo and behold, we ended up at the rugby finals which was between ACSI and SAJC. yup, 3 VJ kids lost in a sea of SA students. It was exciting man, a first for me. Rugby was a real man's sport, really makes you wanna scream "TAKE HIM DOWN! KILL HIM! PUNCH HIM! TAUPOK!!!!!" it gets even more exciting when they run into each other and they just fall flat on the ground in a concussion like state. On the whole, it was worth the trip down to padang to enjoy the game. However, the atmosphere kinda failed, SA brought their whole school, but i think 10 VJ counsellors would have outcheered them, very sad. Final Score: ACSI 21, SAJC- 8
