It's been another long length of time...so many things have happened and it seems I only have the mood and time to update my blog once again today. Let's start backwards, okay?
Today is dearie's birthday, and our 4th month! time really flies, and I really hope she's enjoying herself right now even thought she mentioned not wanting to celebrate her birthday with her family...she prefers to do it with me or with her pals, but apparently her mum didn't want to let her out of the house today. She has issues with her parents which I would rather not elaborate here; I just hope that those are resolved soon. Family always comes first, yeah? Who else to turn to rather than the people who provide you with daily necessities, food, shelter and of course, love. I can provide the fourth, but not really the first three, at least not yet =) I love her, and I don't expect that to change in a long time. Imagine you and me, walking down that aisle. haha. okay don't think so far...
Yesterday was SYF for JCs...and it was rather disappointing. Looking at the way we performed during practices over the past few weeks...after settling all the nitty gritty things like intonation and what not, I still don't believe the lackluster quality of music we threw at the audience in SCH yesterday. I firmly feel that tension was the cause of that. Being nervous is a potentially dangerous thing especially when it comes to playing music. Making music is a very delicate, intricate, passionate thing which involves the total concentration of heart, mind and soul. That's why music is the ultimate power in the world, or so I believe. But tension always has this buggered ability to take that concentration and confidence and throw it out the window.
Oh yeah, I haven't mentioned the results for TPJC yet, in case your hearts are feeling the need to be scratched...
Silver.
Yes, silver, when all a long I felt that we'd bring home nothing less than a Gold. Who got GWH? SAJC, VJC and ACJC. Not a surprise at all. the golds? RJC, MJC, NYJC, TJC...I might have missed something, but I don't really care. TPJC got silver and that was all it took to drive me to moodlessness, though not to the brink of tears that I would have felt in my earlier years. All that hard work, though I know I didn't work the hardest; all the time spent, though I had skipped many band practices; all came to nothing when we imposed upon the judges a disappointing display of musical quality...
On a happier note, I've completed dear's birthday + 4th month present ('+' in place of 'cum' to avoid obvious misinterpretations). It was a backbreaking process (literally), but I'm just glad I finished it in time. All that's left now is to pass it to her. I wonder if she can even bring it home. Nonetheless, I can keep it for her if she can't. It'll make a good piece of decoration for my room.
I found myself interested in jigsaw puzzles. Yes, jigsaw puzzles...They're really a pain in the ass to complete, especially when they're made up of pieces that never seem to end coming out of the box; but when you've completed one you really feel grand. I should be going down to TM later to get prolly a 500-1000 piece one to do up and hang up in my room. There's a portion of wall in my room that looks a little too empty for my liking.
Well band is finally over for me so I guess I have to devote my time to studying now...another one of my less loved though undeniably appreciated privileges in life. Alas, qualifications are the only thing that binds modern people to the world...and I need one to realize the image of my future as a man living comfortably in a humble HDB flat/Condo, driving a flashy BMW and giving my kids and not to mention my wife a comfortably life as well. There's a band concert which should be coming in June or July and my juniors are hinting to me that the J2s should spare the time to perform with them and not 'leave them in the lurch'. I'd certainly consider the former, but times always change...I can't make a firm decision nor state a preference right now.
That's about it guys...a rather boring yet informative post...ups and downs...no philosophies today. I'd talk about my idea of making areoplanes/practically any vehicle invisible, but I've already been told by my classmates that it's not in the least practical..so I'll skip it here.
Have a great weekend! I think I will =) see ya!
[i will wait for you, no matter how long, no matter what it takes.]
