Think I am DeaD? Think again.

Time files isn't it?, in the blink of an eye, i had reach my final years of studies in NYP. In fact, most of the things i had learned are just basics. This turning point in my life, many lives. NUS or NTU? Local or overseas? Many people are asking, consulting, persuading... Recently, i heard from one of my old friend in SP (Singapore polytechnic); he said that SP is an excellent tertiary education(Right!) with much of Singapore's traits in common. Not surprisingly since they bear the same name. Why is it that? First, Clubs and societies in there needs to pay rental fee...HDB anyone? Second, every member needs to pay club funds (CPF), the scruity of attendance, the booking/rental fee of the auditorium for perfomances/concerts. They even have a quota to reach for selling tickets!

Seriously...its ridiculous, the exact same club in NYP does not need to pay whatever rental fee, funds, quotas. That makes it less stressful? Well at least the tactics employed by SP works to keep serious students in the club. Sadly, my club does not have regular attendance nor lasting students. This makes my position in my club alot more stressful! As a welfare, i am suppose to keep track of their attendance, persuade them to come(hopefully). Why am i saying this? Fear of the exact same situation in university.

NUS feels like SP, this is subjective. NTU feels like NYP with a disadvantage. Same OLD(Pun intended)conductor. If you don't know, the conductor is our famous Mr lok. Famous for being stubborn and impatient, again this is subjective. It was a long struggle to decide between these two Uni, and that's if i even manage to get in. My FYP(Final year project) is in a big mess now. The catch is i have to get a LEAST an A to maintain my grades, and hopefully be eligible for Uni. The weightage is so heavy, it is equivalent to 5 Maths Modules.

Finally.. an update!

It must have been at least a year since my last update! Some updates on school: for the outdated, i specialise in Interactive and Design. Which means something to do with modelling and animation. Quite a hit nowadays huh? I also got my driving license not too long ago with pretty decent semestral results. Now into my 3rd year, things are running real fast! Many of the modules are getting you to think out of the box!(I hate that)...

Failed my physical fitness test, sighed...could be a sign that i am lacking in my workouts! Holidays are nearing so i managed to squeeze a tiny bit of time typing this. Hope to find more time typing. My chat board is down, i am lazy and always am. Just post comments instead.

Anyway i stumble across some good website that can really make some cash ! U can try it out yourself for free first => http://doom288.MyBigSuccess.com

Mid Term - School Break approaching

Just had clare yeo concert yesterday! It was nice to see her perform, especially since we are the accompanying orchestra. It was definately a rare opportunity...who gets to perform in esplanade all the time? At first the backstage is quite confusing, but after some exploring, the layout is quite standard - like a hospital. The concert halls was full house i would say. This concert definately attracted alot of people, but the thing is even the programme booklet need to play money($5 each) coz it is a charity concert.

Had to rush my miniproject phrase 1 at night after the concert coz we have to hand up tmr morning b4 9am. But term break is approaching soon...and i still dun understand some of the concepts. I feel very sad about the Java test...Dont know how the teacher set the paper. So suay kanna the hardest paper(something JCombobox), btw everyone is having a different paper coz it is to prevent copying. Should have ask the teacher for permission to go toliet as she will change the paper to prevent cheating(anyway the rest of the other paper are easy), but didnt...how foolish.

I am going take my music theory exam on 29 Oct this year...so good luck to myself! Quite easy actually, just have to get used to the sharps and flats. Been posting less often due to more stress in school.

A tough semster to go..

Hey, long time no blog...very busy with school work. Basically i am trying out some eye improvement exercise that claims to improve ur eyesight and lower ur myopia index and there are testimonals to prove it. Look forward to removing my glasses, however it would take very long, well thats not the case, the case is my braces is gonna take very long too! Didnt manage to see much imrpovement in my teeth, but i got comments that the top front teeths are moving in.

Now, i am face with a difficult situation...either to study very hard or to slack and just pass. Since i got 3 distinction per semester, this semester should be no exceptions! But the module are way too hard for me to even get a A or B!!! Maths like just doubled or tripled in difficulty and solving the questions. Alot of formula to memorise without any guide, espically with that inconsiderate teacher!! Semseter project is based on java programming which is object orianted that is so confusing with all the terms and must be able to memorise different kind of methods. Electronic communciation is full of log and sin,cos,tan!! Can u imagine calulating a gain in decibel will require u to do some funny complex calculatiojn?? Even just calculating a sine wave need something like VpSin2PIn(10000t)+VpSinePI2n(20000t) and so on!!! What's more, electronic ciruit has BJT and FET that complicates circuit more! I am guaranteed to fail !!! Someone Enlighten me....

Went to SP String Concert today, at least their standard is better than NP strings. Nevertheless, they have the biggest ensemble compared to other poly and with a rather consistance standard distributed among their members, not like ours, we have a few good players and then the rest are beginners; they have no truely superb players but the have many average players that makes them better in some way. I will be off to study my school work....too much stress...must focus.

Nothing Much

Watched Unleased on thursday...first time an action movie has a proper storyline, but it looks weird when jet li suddenly became back to human when he was a dog previously. I like the man in white robe the most! coz he is botak and probably blacked out when he used his head to hit the toilet wall..Ouch!

Did a recording on saturday called melodies of life. Some parts are nice while others are chaos but overall it is acceptable coz 1. First time recording 2. We are no professional 3. Some of us are sight reading 4. We slack and never practice 5. Smoke 6. Mic not powerful... blablabla , so it justified the errors and whatever. Suppose to have another session next sat. Stay tune.

BHSO started rehearsals again! This time we are playing 2 pieces somewhere in July at esplanade, featuring a prodigy although the piece is quite short. Orchestra pieces are really hard. Bowings hard to follow, timing are strict and full of rests that threaten to throw you off guard and funny timing that is hard to follow.

Messy

Today, two person came to my house to install 3 air-con and it made a mess out of my house!!! He said my house was too complicated to do the piping and all that but we went ahead coz it was not refunable...WHoa the whole process took like 8 hrs and my whole house was full of dust and some furniture require moving. The person that installed the unit was abit like an ah beng. Smokes and act cool even when he was working. Anyway he did the whole thing pretty fast... faster than i imagine.

Tomorrow school starts at 8am...haiz wonder y i am still bloggin here. I threw away lots of old stuff.....relax and relieve my mind for a while. My teeth is still aching! But possible to chew abit, so getting better!

Dental Esp.2

Ok, went to dental yesterday for tooth fillings, and now today for band & bond. Just got braces, it feels like my teeth are coming out...but i dun feel any pain, for now...The dentist teach me how to brush my teeth in a whole new way and it is more troublesome!! Gonna carry that metal thing around for 2 yrs...Feels quite heavy but will get used to it. Now i shouldnt eat out coz i have to brush my teeth after every meal as food particles get stuck in it.

School is about to start and i havent get my textbook yet. The stupid KUANKO is teaching us again for maths. That joker better teach for decently this sem or else i sure put VERY BAD for the feedback form. My timetable now is so packed! They squeezed everything into 4 days and give me a free tuesday(which i dont mind..hehehe).
