About giving and getting…
Everyone expects things from everyone, but does everyone expects themselves to give? When there’s something good ahead for you, everyone comes to share, and even the beggars and strangers on the street are you friends. Then when you need something from them, they give you all sorts of excuses.

There’s a quote that I read somewhere… they are only 2 people who’ll stick up to you when ‘you’ve lost your job, loose your love one, finish every single penny in your wallet, and go from bad-bad situations to horrible-vegetable situations… The first one who’ll stick up to you is your friend, who’s situation is worst than yours, and probably still needs your help… whilst the second one is, your friend… your true friend. But on earth, you’ll more likely end up with the first "friend".

I’ve been through these situations where I’ve experienced the true nature of human beings >> Selfish. It’s true, everybody’s selfish. But to people that I call "friends" and to those who claims themselves as my "friends"… maybe when you choose to perform your "sel-fish-ness", you’d like to NOT cross the borderline.

What make me post this?

The choir’s Food sale. It was an old plan to earn some extra cash so that the choir members doesn’t have to fish from their wallet to pay photocopy money. Every Saturday, 2 members (originally) will co-operate to get-together a simple food sale stall in the music center. One will prepare the foods whilst the other will sell. Or, they could BOTH prepare the food and BOTh sell, depending on themselves. But now what I heard and saw was people pushing away their duties to others, NOT because they couldn’t perform it, but WOULDN’T perform it. And the "others", of course will feel reluctant to perform the responsibilities that belongs to somebody else one time after another. And nobody wants to pay extra for photocopy money, and is happily using the choir’s fund for it. But NOBODY wants to work for it. Hahahahaha…Since when there’s free lunch for everybody?

Then like when I was captain/director for the musical last year… If you’re in choir… let me ask you this… Which picture is more clearer?
1) Us singing our finale, snapping pictures together for a happy ending
2) Us at the celebration party, having fun BBQing
3) Us having problems getting together for practices because everybody doesn’t wants to come for extra practices and couldn’t decide whether we should add on longer on Saturday and leave certain people out or add on longer on Sunday and leave other certain-people out.
I bet that if I didn’t write the 3rd one out, none of you would’ve had it cross your mind. What about the "props-problems", and the people wailing to quit RIGHT before the show? Har? Don’t quite remember? Where were you when all the problems occured?
1) Busy complaining about how the management can’t do their stuffs
2) Busy stabbing people behind their backs
3) Busy pitying yourself because you have to follow people’s stupid orders

And when the choir gives everyone good stuffs like competition trophies, musicals fame, enjoyable discounted trips… when the choir is on its bright path with the sun shining down on its roof, everybody cuddles in together. But when the choir meets up with some stormy day and needs everybody’s help to bring it together… suddenly everyone’s gone?

Sad. Very sad.

BORING!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha… I can’t wait for school to start already, but… wait till I finish all my homework lar!OH! The only FUN thing happening around is LittleNoise. Hehe… MY SONGS SOUND AWESOME~~~~ Eleh, perasan. Hahaha. KENOT EH? *grins*

It was two days ago when I went for lunch with Aik Khai, Darrel, Shan, DeXin and Jun Yi where a girl sms’ed Aik Khai and asked him if he knew any girls that can sing english. And Aik Khai asked me immediately. Since, I had nothing better to do anyway, I of course, said yes "I do" to the offer, regardless the price lar. I just needed something to do.

So after a few arrangements, we settled that the recording was to be on 2pm today at their studio located in Jie Fang Jun Yi Shu Xue Yuan, Zhong Guan Cun. I took a cab there and reached around 1:30pm, but when I succeeded locating the studio’s EXACT location, it was 2:00pm sharp.

I greeted the studio mixers, and they asked me to wait for the composer. I didn’t know exactly what to sing. All I knew that it was in English…. and they want me to sing American-ish. Not hard… I already sound American-ish without trying. Lolx. Around 2:15pm, the composer arrived. His name is He Tian (Something), I dun remember… I think it’s He Tian Fa… And he’s some head of the chinese army perforamance and art team or something (Something big)… He showed me the score and my jaw dropped.

Nope, it’s not hard. It’s pretty easy, and I sang it with one look. Like DUH. My standard… HOHOHOHO. Gee… perasan. Why did my jaw drop???? Because… here’s the starting of what I have to sing:

Hello… Los Angelos, L.A.!
We are Fu Wa of Beijing Olympic!
Bei bei, jing jing, huan huan, ying ying and Ni Ni!

My mind went NUTS reading it… you mean, I’m RECORDING FOR THE BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008 REPRESENTING THE FIVE LITTLE MASCOT???? OH MY GOD! HOLLY CRAP! I nearly died of heart attack! I’m SINGING for the OLYMPICS! WUAHLAO~~~ WAKAO~~ WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

After they heard me sing once through cin-cai-ly, they said: "Ha! Great voice you have there! How long are you going to be in Beijing?" And I told them five years, then they said… next time if they need people to sing in English, they’ll call me up. WAHHHH~~ HOW NICE!

Then the recording process was kinda long (8 hours)… turned out that I will be heard in three of the largest cities in USA: New York, Los Angelos and Washington D.C. WAHAHAHA. Another great shiny mark on my resume… Eeesh, perasanNya~ Lolx. Cannot ah? People tengah HIGH sini. Lolx.

OoooHOHOHOHOHOHO.
MY VOICE IS GOING TO BE BROADCAST IN NYC, WDC & LA!

1) Sight Reading/Hearing/Singing - Taken 09/01/07
It was a frightful Tuesday morning, as I woke up at 8am sharp… with nothing much to do except to keep myself awake. Because it’s sight reading/hearing/singing exam day, your brain must be fully awake. So, to do so… I had to get up extra early since the exam starts at 10:10…. To my greatest relief, it was actually quite okay. Because teacher didn’t pick anything too hard for me… HEHEHE. I practiced mar! Of course lar~ Lolx. So, one of my greatest fear has been overcome…

2) Art and Philosophy - Taken 10/01/07
This is a HORRIBLE test. Great to learn, horrible to take. Because you have to write what you "feel" and "think" about certain things. And the list of things you have to memorize is @#$%^&*()*&^%$#. Yeap. Thanks to Benny for writing the second essay beautifully for me to memorize and thanks to PM for translating the first essay for me… although in the end I had to re-do the first one because the whole format I first did was wrong. Was totally tensed because there was SO much to remember… although I started studying like weeks ago, but still…

3) Chinese Folklore History - Taken TODAY
If you think Art and Philosophy is a horrible test to take, this one is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. We have to memorize FOUR chapters of CRAP. Well, the moment you see "history" it’s crap larr…. no matter what history lar. At least Art and Phil is a nice subject. THIS ONE we BARELY study in class… and the NOTES are FILTHY long. "What is folklore music?" "How many kinds of folklore music are there?" … and so on… it’s worst than memorizing all the names of the Sultans in sejarah. LOL. And the paper we had to sit for, was EXTREMELY SHORT. Well, FINISHED it in 40 minutes time… didn’t know quite A LOT. But didn’t cared because FINISH EXAM LORRRRRR!

FINISH EXAM LORR~~~~
YABBADaBaDOOOOOooOOooO~~~~~!

Hahaha…. YAY, I’m going HOME lor~!!!Malaysia HERE I COME!

1) Harmonization - Taken 27/12/06
Harmonization was taken early in the morning… and I did something stupid the night before. I had this MP3 alarm clock on my desktop where it’ll play any MP3 songs that I insert… a very good way to wake myself up. Because instead of the sudden loud songs that starts off with choruses on my handphone, this one I get to choose soft songs that goes slow and easy before going louder and louder, and I get to choose from my wide range of song choices in my computer. Cool eh? THEN, there’s this "AM" and "PM" thing on the clock, and the "clever" me forgot to tune it to "AM" when I set the alarm. SO… I was supposed to wake up at 7:30am as the exam starts at 8:20am. BUT… since I didn’t set the thing properly, of course it didn’t RING. THANK GOD I opened my eyes and remembered that it was HARMONIZATION EXAM DAY, wondering why were the sky so bright already. I spring up and realized that it was 10 minutes away to exam time and sped up to everything. GOD. KILL ME. Then as I panted down the hallway and turned a sharp corner, I met my friend who was wandering outside the classroom. He smiled at my state and said: "Exam’s starting at 8:30am. Teacher’s not here yet." I heave a sigh of relief, grinned at myself and ran back to the hostel for a cup of hot milo, feeling great after that. LOL. The exam was kinda tough, long question with many solution that my mind found but couldn’t mark out which was the best one… Hopefully I don’t do too bad. Because if I get below 85, I might be expelled from my department…. crazy rule.

2) Orchestration + Score Reading - Taken 29/12/06
Another one of the exams where I have to score 85 and above or be expelled from the department. But I’m not too worried about orchestration score reading, because this one all you have to do is practice enough. There isn’t spontaneous things that you have to do on-spot. So, as long as I practiced everything, it should be fine. And thanks to HuangYi, who had asked me to help him with his score-reading, I did pretty well… LOLX. Because by the time he learns a particular piece, I’d be memorizing already. WAkakaka…

3) English (Test) - Taken today 08/01/07
These China people have a funny way of taking english exams. During our last few english lessons before this exam, the teacher gave us 6 sets of questions that contains: Vocabulary, Cloze passages, Comprehension and etc… And we were asked to memorize as much as possible because all the questions are going to be base on what’s inside. Or to be exact, during the test, the questions on our test paper will look EXACTLY the same as part of the questions in what we are given to read. So, er… you call this a test? And well, I did read through the 6 sets of papers once… and helped some of my friends (malaysians from chinese school) in understanding the comprehension question. So when I sat for the exam, I could practically do it blindfolded. LOL… no lar, blindfolded kinda impossible… but I really didnt do any extra reading, just circled the answers. HAHAHAHA. And finished 65 questions in 10 minutes. Sweat right? It was a one hour exam, and I spent 10 minutes answering, 15 minutes coloring the answer sheet black, 10 minutes double checking my answers just in case I colored wrongly… and then I was out. LOL. With the whole class’ eyes on my back.

Oh well, now I’m down with the easy one, I have 3 more hard ones to go…and then MERDEKA!

Before I forget everything, let me write everything that happened yesterday down.
It was THE day that I’ve been waiting for, for a very very long time. No, I’m not getting married. Geee…. It’s Christmas day! O-HOHOHOHOO! MERRY CHRISTMAS~ No… It’s not about Christmas. It’s my MID YEAR CONDUCTING EXAM DAY! AHHHHHHHH. (Finally to the point). I’m conducting Schuberts’ Unfinished Symphony, that lasts about 12 minutes. Scary eh?

I woke up at 6:45am to Josh Groban’s "Believe" playing on my desktop music alarm. It’s a nice way to wake up to a soft symphont intro and a cute guy with a GREAT SEXY voice singing to you. Then I headed to bath, had to wait approximately 5 minutes before the hot water was ready. Nice to bath early in the morning where you have the whole bathroom to yourself as long as you want.

Then I made breakfast, which consists of fried noodles, eggs, bacons… and everything nice. Lolx. I wore my lacey white short sleeve blouse and my crumpled white high collared shirt with black pants… and on top of it I had a somewhat shiny white scarf tied around my neck. In short, I look great. LOL! Ehehehe…

The conducting exam was held right beside my hostel. Just a turn round the corner and TADAAAA… It’s the pathway to your greatest nightmare and fear. (spooky music background). THIS time, I kept my wand… I mean, baton, at my side ALL the time. Just in case some freaky high school student would wander around and steal it. Lol. I was the fourth one to take the exam.

HuangYi was the second one, and I had a good chance to enter the room of hell (conducting room 01) before my name was called because I was playing the 1st piano for HuangYi. And I got to peek who was the examinors… lucky us, there wasn’t as many as expected. A lot of teachers didn’t turn up… INCLUDING my DARLING CONDUCTING teacher. Which, made me rather sad and dissapointed because I really really wish he was there for me. And, he promised to be there… I wonder what caught him up. (Later on I found out that he was suffering from some massive stomach ache)

I boarded the platform and started my piece, surprised that my hand wasn’t shaking. Yet I couldn’t quite bring Schubert into his piece. My mind was wandering too much around, worried about things I shouldn’t be worrying. It wasn’t my 100%… as I felt I could’ve gave more. Well, I’ll hope for a better performance next time.

In the afternoon, I sang beethoven 9th Symphony’s choir and solo parts for MaDing . It was very fun… hope I have the chance to conduct that in the future. Now it hass all ended, I can happily (yea right) concentrate on my other exams…

I just came back from a "…" (Can’t find the right adjective to fill in… haha) trip. Well, after piano exam this morning (read my previous post) and after some brief GaoZi//JiaoZi lunch in the canteen (Since it is Dong Zhi, so eat GaoZi)… I decided to head over to Zhu Shi Kou where there’s a LARGE factory distributing brand new manufactioring stuffs. CHEAP stuffs… Why? Oh, I bought my contact lens with this very nice lady near school, and her shop shifted there… and my left contact lens has been slightly torn in the middle, which I have no idea when it tore itself because I do not recall myself tearing it. And each time I wear it (wore for 3 to 4 times), there’s an itch somewhere. So I called her and told her that I dunno why it hurts my eye, and asked her if she could change it for me. She didn’t even think and said "Yes". Bring it to my shop in Zhu Shi Kou and I’ll see what I can do for you.

Conducting exam is on Monday, so I really have to hurry and get the contact lens fix. Because it’s impossible to wear glasses during exam, very nuisance if my glasses keep slipping off my nose. Lolx. And no contact lens = no life.

Now the problem is, I’ve NEVER been to Zhu Shi Kou… but it’s in Chong Wen Qu… and the only place I know that is located NEAR Chong Wen Qu is SOGO. Yea… I was clever enough to check the digital map before going out. There were 3 ways of transportation:
1) Taxi//Cab - Expensive but guarenteed arrival and saves time
2) Bus - CHEAP, may reach the stations located around that area BUT there are MANY stations in ONE area, and if you miss one station you might get lost.
3) Train - OK price. Located in the center of that area and no matter how far away you wander, you can always go back to the train station and head home.

So… I thought, Hrm, since it’s in Chong Wen Qu, why not I take the train first and walk around. Since my next lesson was at 4pm, and it was barely 12:30pm, I had plenty of time to spare. I reached Chong Wen’s Station and started walking around… there were lots of huge shopping malls around with HUGE christmas trees and all, so even though I was getting quite frustrated when I realize that it was going to be a LONG walk from the station to my destination. Hrm, actually I don’t really quite know the EXACT location of my destination, I just know the direction which I acquired by asking around.

Then after approximately 30 minutes of walking. I started worrying that it may be a LITTLE further than I expected. So with a heavy heart, I caught a cab, boarded and went. My eyes kept a good lookout for the place. AND WAS IN TOTAL LOST OF WORDS when after 3 minutes, the taxi driver stopped and say: "Oh, here we are"…. EEEEEKKKKK. I could’ve WALKED. And now I have to pay a bloody 10 yuan. (once you board the taxi it’s 10 yuan already.)

FINE. Well, finding the lady’s stall was a piece of cake, because she told me the exact location. Row 15 stall No.59. Now that I’ve passed my contact lens to her for changing, she said she could pass it back to my hostel around Sunday. How nice of her… It was a HUGE place, and I was here for the first time… so why not take a look around. Then I ended up buying birthday presents for Jia Jia (her birthday is tomorrow)… 2 Christmas gifts for Yuki and Celine (we promised to exchange gifts)
and a gift for Zhao Xing Hua who’s birthday is 3 days before mine. Lolx. Li Ying Jiao’s birthday is next wednesday, I’m probably gonna get him a small piece of cake. WAKAKAKAKA. Shen Hao’s (my orchestration score reading teacher) birthday is NEXT Thursday, and my birthday present for him is to do well for my orchestration score reading exam. WAKAKAKA…. since MY birthday is coming as well, he’s BEST birthday gift for me would be a GOOD SCORE. WAKAKAKAKAKA.

Anyway. After shopping for two rounds, it was time to head back to the hostel. I was in a okay mood… and was ready to venture back on my own. Oohh, I forgot to mention, yea, I came out ALONE. WAKAKAKA. (What’s so funny?) As I was walking along the pathway, heading towards the bridge to cross the road… When suddenly I felt some slippery thing below my shoes, and just when I was to take a larger step to avoid stepping onto more slippery "thing"s, "THONG"…… I "SLIPPEd" "SWOOSHED" and fell. Landing on my left buttock with my right leg kicking up in the air (Actually the pose quite YENG). And humiliating enough, it was in public. Just as I was hoping that nobody saw, or saw but pretended not to see… this guy standing nearby (who saw me fell) yelled as I landed: "AHHH! BEAUTIFUL LANDING! WAKAKAKKAKAKA!"

=_="""

Thank you very much for helping attract everyone’s attention. AND BOY my buttock hurts. Lolx. But it was actually quite funny, and even I myself can’t stop laughing at the thought of it. After I stood up, I turned to look at what I’ve slipped upon. And it was SNOW. Well, not exactly snow… more like "ICE"… from puddles of water. It’s at a negative 5 degrees now, so it’s no surprise if puddles of water turns to ice… But who would expect that in the middle of some bloody pathway???

Then I walked down the street, looking out for the bus 743 and found that the bus station was actually located VERY NEAR my destination. Sigh, I could’ve saved SO much money…. that BLOODY 10 yuan. Lolx. And after a 20 minutes ride, I was back.

Hahaha…
Actually I had quite a bad hair day (I woke up with my hair twisted in different angles because I slept when it was only 85% dry), then my piano exam also didn’t go very well (not as well as I expected), and after all that had happened above… I’m quite surprised that I’m actually still feeling very happy. HAHAHAHAHA. I wonder why. And boy my buttock hurts… wonder if I have black and blue… (gonna go check).
