like yw mentioned, it'd been a really long time since i updated this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;school started just barely 2 months back, inclusive of float and all.&lt;br /&gt;i must say it was quite enlightening.&lt;br /&gt;from how i kept thinking it was impossible to build a float or to learn a dance at all to utter disbelief when the float was completed.&lt;br /&gt;at least this experience allowed me to get to know the other 47 people i'll be spending the next 4 years with, for good or for bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;schools hasn't been really a bed of roses.&lt;br /&gt;lectures at 8am in the morning is just really draining.&lt;br /&gt;luckily NUS is high tech enough to have things called webcasts.&lt;br /&gt;haha. =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;friends are flying off here and there.&lt;br /&gt;alan, leslie, timothy and waiyip have either already flown off or are going to fly off soon.&lt;br /&gt;it's quite hard to fathom that we started JC life 5 yrs ago.&lt;br /&gt;totally old already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this recess week reminds me too much of "holidays" in JC.&lt;br /&gt;where tests and exams were put just after them.&lt;br /&gt;but i guess

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from the way Josie Lau screamed "Shut up and Sit down!" so many times...&lt;br /&gt;that inspired people to design shirts with that slogan within 10 minutes. That clearly became the tagline of today's conference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;from Dr Thio screaming away for pple to respect her because of her age.&lt;br /&gt;its like someone screaming away on a MRT to ask someone to give up their seat for her because she's old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so yea i hope this concludes the AWARE incident.&lt;br /&gt;which is so dotz.&lt;br /&gt;and expensive at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;spending almost 100k on that stupid event and debate?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that money could easily be spent elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;and only the person with the LOWEST possible EQ can possibly rebute that point by saying&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"we made 120k with the new memberships!

bastard, he got a new handphone.&lt;br /&gt;he either sold it for cash or he is using it himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if he sold it for cash,&lt;br /&gt;i hope he gets appendicitis when he buys food to eat with that money.&lt;br /&gt;go to the hospital, enter surgery and ends up having a complication.&lt;br /&gt;spending 10k in the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if he is using it himself,&lt;br /&gt;i hope the phone gets overheated and explodes in his ear when he's talking on the phone.&lt;br /&gt;and make him permanently deaf.&lt;br /&gt;if he becomes blind, even better.&lt;br /&gt;so he can no longer prey on people's property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok after cursing that guy,&lt;br /&gt;i must say its my mistake i allowed him to get tempted to steal my phone.&lt;br /&gt;my 4 month old E71 got stolen when I was playing badminton.&lt;br /&gt;my unattentiveness and assumption that all singaporeans are kind creatures made it a wonderful place for theives to flourish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so i'm stuck with my brother's old phone.&lt;br /&gt;yucks. &lt;br /&gt;but not for long. i hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that happened on the 3rd day of the new year.&lt;br /&gt;wad a great start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nothing much else to update except haosiang's birthday!&lt;br /&gt;happy 21st!&lt;br /&gt;really good to meet up with pple whom are more busy at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;like maurice and andrew chua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i've started packing my room for CNY.&lt;br /&gt;2 hours in and i realise i have tonnes of O and A level notes.&lt;br /&gt;i just can't bear to throw them away.&lt;br /&gt;i just hope they mysteriously disappear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my mum's gonna scream tmr when

term='MSSBA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SIBF'/><title type='text'>the last post of a great year.</title><content type='html'>2008 was the year of many many fond memories and happenings.&lt;br /&gt;5 things/events that i remember most fondly (or hated with much bated breath) are: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. WRITERS' STRIKE&lt;br /&gt;For those of you who don't know what the writers' strike is. The writers to all major american sitcoms or dramas went on a strike, protesting for 14 weeks and 2 days. holy shit. that meant that all dramas and sticoms like my favourite shows were all suspended. BECAUSE THERE'S NO ONE TO WRITE THE SCRIPT. wth. definitely something i hated the most in this year. fortunately, reality tv shows went on as they are unscripted. maybe thats the reason I didn't die of boredom. but otherwise, this year's television was really great. almost everything I watched produced good stuff for viewers. i love foreign tv. but well some said little nonya is damn nice also. so perhaps can give mediacorp some kudos for producing something that generated all these hype. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. MARIS STELLA SYMPHONIC BAND ALUMNI&lt;br /&gt;Well, looks like we made it another year in this organisation. I honestly wonder how much longer we can all stay in the band and make music. when Uni starts, when schedules get tighter, it seems that if we do want to stay in this band, we'll have to either sacrifice something or manage our time really really well. but hey, i believe this band is just another wonderful platform for us to meet, chat and what not, and we should totally make use of that. very glad that kel and bernard decided to come back again following a N year hiatus. fueled by the win in SIBF, let's see if we can make a miracle in 2009 to get enough sponsorships to make people wanna go for WMC. ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. TABLE TENNIS&lt;br /&gt;Following the nation's sudden passion for the sport, the gang started learning the sport a few months back under jinyan's persuasion and we never looked back. It was like learning a new sport altogether, just like how we learnt badminton. Table tennis (or TT) is now just another part of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. ORD&lt;br /&gt;i wouldn't say i remember a thing about how i felt before i ORD or when i got my IC. it seems just like another ritual that every guy goes thru and I'm glad i finally completed these 2 years. to think that i was quite sad after coming back from the hongkong trip with the gang because i am due to enlist 3 days later, thinking how time is passing by DAMN slowly and totally thinking that the ORD date would never come. it came though, slowly and steadily. but it still came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess its just these 4 things that are etched quite deeply in my mind.&lt;br /&gt;with that, i happily round 2008 off by setting 9 new year resolutions for 2009.&lt;br /&gt;some are relatively easier to achieve and some (like no. 1) sounds damn difficult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. SAVE UP!&lt;br /&gt;2. do well in school when it starts.&lt;br /&gt;3. pack my room more frequently. haha =P&lt;br /&gt;4. exercise more to prevent myself from expanding any further!&lt;br /&gt;5. learn to appreciate the many good things in life.&lt;br /&gt;6. be safe and healthy.&lt;br /&gt;7. buy only cheap and good things (contridicting no.1 but buying stuff seems rather essential.)&lt;br /&gt;8. spend more time with my family and also my friends.&lt;br /&gt;9. last but not least, enjoy life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this year was great, until lehmen brothers collapsed.&lt;br /&gt;after which the new year's outlook is what is described as GRIM.&lt;br /&gt;totally harry-potter-like. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;therefore i'm extremely glad that we're entering uni next year. &lt;br /&gt;by the time we graduated, hopefully the market would have picked up a little.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for all within my social circles, &lt;br /&gt;the marist gang,&lt;br /&gt;the vjc people,&lt;br /&gt;my family, &lt;br /&gt;thanks for a great year and i wish you another great year ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2009 is what i call a highly anticipated year.&lt;br /&gt;i can't wait.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

sitting at the bus stop with bernard after our little table tennis session just now, when i realised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that exactly in 7 days time, it'd be 1st Jan 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i honestly have no idea what I did in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;but 2009 seems like a rather exciting year. &lt;br /&gt;not for the economy of course, with pple saying that its gonna be dark and gloomy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but that only makes me think of Harry Potter.&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;alrighty!&lt;br /&gt;xmas 2008 was quite fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;first up was the VJC gathering @ Jfoo's house.&lt;br /&gt;it was quite really fun with the gift exchange and the caroling.&lt;br /&gt;but i so wanted to be lucky for once and get that bottle of vodka (which is probably now in muscular glen's house)&lt;br /&gt;haha. i got fujing's sugar free chocolates in a coffin.&lt;br /&gt;well. the box just looked like a coffin.&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;den it was xmas eve, it was raining in the morning and I woke up one hr later den usual.&lt;br /&gt;i tot i was gonna be late.&lt;br /&gt;but 151 Fast Forward saved my life.&lt;br /&gt;haha...&lt;br /&gt;we had a little Biz Sch lunch, where the food was really not bad.&lt;br /&gt;and den the people in office started exchanging presents.&lt;br /&gt;and the temp stuff actually got presents too!&lt;br /&gt;totally shocked but was quite happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after work, chionged home to rest and went for francis's xmas party @ the sleezy Orchard Hotel.&lt;br /&gt;haha. &lt;br /&gt;it wasnt as sleezy as I thought it would be.&lt;br /&gt;perhaps because of its neighbour (Orchard Towers), it just appeared to be another sleezy place.&lt;br /&gt;it was fun. very nostalgic seeing all the old friends.&lt;br /&gt;it wasnt awkward, we still had topics to chat about.&lt;br /&gt;I had a great time just talking rubbish with all of them, and I can't wait for the next gathering that someone might organise. &lt;br /&gt;=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;this christmas,&lt;br /&gt;was really about reunions and gatherings.&lt;br /&gt;it kinda made me wonder how wonderful the times were when we were younger.&lt;br /&gt;but I'm glad that I've made the friends I've made.&lt;br /&gt;people whom made a difference to my life, and I just know that I won't forget anyone unless I get Alzheimers in the future (touchwood). haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thanks to all my family and friends.&lt;br /&gt;I am who I am today because of all of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>2 days of freedom!</title><content type='html'>last friday was my ORD! haha.&lt;br /&gt;and for many many other people, it was their ORD too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd say it ain't as exciting as I thought it would be all along the two years.&lt;br /&gt;but I'm glad I finally finished repaying what guys owe the nation - 2 yrs of their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;had breakfast with the whole bunch of NSF clerks at some ulu shop in sembawang.&lt;br /&gt;but their pork rib noodles are really really good.&lt;br /&gt;the surroundings are quite picturesque.&lt;br /&gt;a good place for breakfast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;den exchanged my clearance form for my IC and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;before I left the office one last time at 12 noon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after which, the BMT people met up at had a dinner at the Glass House.&lt;br /&gt;it was kinda good to see everyone again.&lt;br /&gt;ok maybe not everyone, but 17 people attended the gathering.&lt;br /&gt;quite a number I'd say, up from 11 (iirc) last time at seoul garden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;took quite some pictures (they are all at facebook).&lt;br /&gt;haha. loved how sunshine conquered the fish n co seafood platter for 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;apparently, he already conquered the manhattan one.&lt;br /&gt;someone should give him a prize. haha...&lt;br /&gt;=P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rested really well for the weekend. &lt;br /&gt;before I started work at NUS Business School Career Services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it's a cool place i guess.&lt;br /&gt;with loads of nice people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm still superbly not used to the fact that we get to call "regulars" at work by their names now.&lt;br /&gt;after how we call almost everyone in office "sir" and "mdm".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha. the job scope is pretty much hectic at the start. &lt;br /&gt;to clear rooms and stuff.&lt;br /&gt;but its almost finished and maybe less of such labour-intensive jobs next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;back to my favourite hobby.&lt;br /&gt;Survivor and TAR both ended with their finale episodes the past two weeks.&lt;br /&gt;for survivor, I must say it was a rather deceptive season (which i like).&lt;br /&gt;and for TAR, I just hate the ending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;actually Surivor's winner sucked too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;looking back. &lt;br /&gt;both seasons had sucky winners to me.&lt;br /&gt;but its ok! a two month wait and Survivor: Tocantins and TAR 14 will be out!&lt;br /&gt;i seriously cannot wait for both series.&lt;br /&gt;meanwhile i guess i'll just be stuck with Grey's Anatomy and House M.D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

are gonna come to an end this friday (this sunday specifically).&lt;br /&gt;haha. the feeling of cheating them of two days is such a thrill.&lt;br /&gt;but they cheated me of two years so it seems so unfair.&lt;br /&gt;but who cares, i'm gonna go back to my civilian status in 4 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;holy shit an shaung.&lt;br /&gt;haha... though countless people have screamed "ORD LO!" in my face for the past one month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha. it seem like time indeed does fly and thanks to the need to defend my country, 10% of my youth is given away as a free gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;argh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bought myself a new laptop.&lt;br /&gt;finally.&lt;br /&gt;after that fugly but faithful fujitsu died after it turned 3.5 yrs old.&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;pretty happy with the new one. =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and as always.&lt;br /&gt;dec's the end of the reality tv season. &lt;br /&gt;with the amazing race season finale in about 8 hrs time. &lt;br /&gt;it only serves to make me look forward to two things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. the amazing race 14 premiere on the 13 feb 2009.&lt;br /&gt;2. maybe attempt to apply for the amazing race asia when i am of age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;although i bet i will lose.&lt;br /&gt;but it looks quite fun.&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;everything is gonna come to an end soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i'm glad for some it finally did.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

coming! &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;omg&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;haha&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;but

id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;ORD&lt;/span&gt; first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;speaking of which, we attended &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;aaron's&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;ORD&lt;/span&gt; parade today at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Hendon&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;haha&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;after which we went down to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;bakerzin&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;suntec&lt;/span&gt; to have our dinner.&lt;br /&gt;because they have this promotion for a meal set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;SGD&lt;/span&gt;13.80++ gives us a soup of the day, a main course, a drink and unlimited bread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which sounds like a good deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;haha&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;so we happily ate and at the end of the meal, we felt full and the price of the desserts were rather ex. so we asked for the bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it came up to 15 plus bucks each. den they gave us a 5 bucks voucher.&lt;br /&gt;so we decided to use it on a slice of cake.&lt;br /&gt;and den we enjoyed a yummy black forest cake.&lt;br /&gt;and after which the bill came again.&lt;br /&gt;i paid SGD2.25 for the cake. =P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and den voila! i discovered they gave me ANOTHER 5 dollar voucher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and we were thinking of ordering another dessert but we dumped the idea in case they start chasing us out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but if it have worked. and i just keep calling for the bill after every cake.&lt;br /&gt;i can eat a cake at 2.25 and save 5 bucks a cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other words, i can order my set dinner, pay for it. get the voucher. use it on haosiang's dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and repeat the cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;omg. we'd have saved loads of money.&lt;br /&gt;haha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so before the new month arrives, i've a few things to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. listen to more music.&lt;br /&gt;2. try as hard as possible to pray and hope that december comes falling from the sky.&lt;br /&gt;3. try to catch up on ugly betty. because i realise i've been missing betty suarez.&lt;br /&gt;4. try not to be addicted to house md like i was on

medical appointments.&lt;br /&gt;omg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 more freaking months!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ah. the countdown's finally starting to make sense.&lt;br /&gt;from "1 year more!" to "9 months more!" to "6 more months!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to finally. "3 more months!"&lt;br /&gt;ok. those people who ORD in november is 2 months la.&lt;br /&gt;but by the time u ORD, i won't even care abt the final one month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to make it even better.&lt;br /&gt;the fall schedules of many american TV stations are really giving away visual treats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;first of all, the 5-time emmy winner of outstanding reality tv programme,&lt;br /&gt;THE AMAZING RACE is back with its season number 13.&lt;br /&gt;really great casting.&lt;br /&gt;back on sept 28 in USA, and hopefully channel 5 decides to broadcast it. =)&lt;br /&gt;since it almost guarantees ratings.&lt;br /&gt;haha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and secondly!! the 5-time emmy nominee of outstanding reality tv programme,&lt;br /&gt;SURVIVOR is back with its season number 17.&lt;br /&gt;haha. real long series. but outstanding in each and every way.&lt;br /&gt;back on sept 25 in USA, and similarly USA better telecast it.&lt;br /&gt;lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thirdly,&lt;br /&gt;PROJECT RUNWAY is already showing its newest season 5.&lt;br /&gt;already 7 episodes in. and channel 5 is only telecasting SEASON 4.&lt;br /&gt;one freaking season behing USA.&lt;br /&gt;why even telecast when it's not the latest version.&lt;br /&gt;its just like telecasting the opening ceremonies of the olympics with a delay of 4 years.&lt;br /&gt;who will care to watch it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fourthly,&lt;br /&gt;AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, or better known as ANTM is back with season 11.&lt;br /&gt;on the CW network on sept 3.&lt;br /&gt;it features the first transgendered contestant on any reality show.&lt;br /&gt;should be worth a good watch.&lt;br /&gt;=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so much good tv coming in

"40".&lt;br /&gt;well that just meant i was late.&lt;br /&gt;i rushed off to the bathroom and on my way passed by my dad's bag which he brings to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i wondered "why is he still home?"&lt;br /&gt;i started bathing. silently cursed the heater for warming up water so slowly.&lt;br /&gt;after i finished bathing, i put on my uniform and i was so ready to go to work.&lt;br /&gt;just before i put on my socks, i stared at the clock above my door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the minute hand was on 55. but the hour hand was just about to cross the digit "2".&lt;br /&gt;"ah. the battery is out."&lt;br /&gt;i took my sister's watch and illuminated it.&lt;br /&gt;it read "1.50".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was stunned.&lt;br /&gt;it truely was 1.50a.m.&lt;br /&gt;holy mama.&lt;br

/&gt;secondly, i hardly had enough sleep for the past few days because of gossip girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i continued to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;the next moment it was 6.45a.m.&lt;br /&gt;and i was

type='html'>just watched the 1om mens' diving and saw australian Matthew Mitcham snatch the gold from China's Zhou Luxin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was just spectacular to see how people won't give up though they know its either they give the performance of their lifetime or they lose.&lt;br /&gt;and he did. a 112.10 final dive was more den enough to overcome the 108 point lead China had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;its kinda amazing how they stay so optimistic after they are so far behind.&lt;br /&gt;i guess psychological training in sport events are an essential part of the games' preparation as well.&lt;br /&gt;and maybe such training shld be incorporated somewhere so that non athletes like us can also be real optimistic about life, and not give up at the slightest thing that obstruct our paths that are clear as still water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm kinda sad that the olympics are ending.&lt;br /&gt;it was such a great showing from all the nations.&lt;br /&gt;especially china.&lt;br /&gt;i haven't been confident of their hosting of the games at first.&lt;br /&gt;guess they proved me wrong.&lt;br /&gt;certainly, they gave a specatular opening ceremony and i can totally expect the same for the closing ceremony 20 hours from now.&lt;br /&gt;security was good. didn't hear any bad news. at least not that bad news.&lt;br /&gt;i wonder if london 2012 will be able to deliver.&lt;br /&gt;i sure hope they do.&lt;br /&gt;if not no more nice showings also not nice. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i was also watching the 50km walk. omg. they walk one round in the bird's nest.&lt;br /&gt;den exit and walk 24 laps outside before going back in.&lt;br /&gt;they take 3hr 40 mins thereabout. holy mama.&lt;br /&gt;that means their 2.4km WALK only takes 10mins 30secs.&lt;br /&gt;and mind it. its their "walking" speed.&lt;br /&gt;totally. i mean if they run sure below 7 mins.&lt;br /&gt;lol. so crazy but i'm so shocked at how they can walk for 50km.&lt;br /&gt;imagine its held in singapore...&lt;br /&gt;walk from changi airport to boonlay aka one end to the other is only like 40+km.&lt;br /&gt;and they do it in 3.5 hrs. lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i hate that the olympics is ending.&lt;br /&gt;i hate that august is ending.&lt;br /&gt;because september is totally boring.&lt;br /&gt;with zero holidays.&lt;br /&gt;omg. it'd be a miracle to pull thru.&lt;br

month.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;and i really do mean a really really torturous one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;band pracs almost everyday.&lt;br /&gt;it was worse den preparing for SYF when we were back in our secondary school days.&lt;br /&gt;preparing the same songs every single day was just the same as eating the same lunch every single day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but we got our moment.&lt;br /&gt;twice in fact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;the first moment in NBC,&lt;br /&gt;when we realised the world isnt as kind and nice as we thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;the second moment in SIBF,&lt;br /&gt;when we completely understood the meaning of a sweet victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this month have been soooo taxing.&lt;br /&gt;my schedules were all packed up.&lt;br /&gt;i was spending time with my fellow band mates longer then i was spending time with my family (not to say i spend a lot of time with them).&lt;br /&gt;finally i can not see the band room for like a short while before we return again for more music making.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this band is not only about music making anymore.&lt;br /&gt;its a place where friendships are born, maintained.&lt;br /&gt;where jokes are made and we laugh together.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;where we all find pride and fun in what ever we do because we all found what we enjoyed in life through the music.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to all myfriends.&lt;br /&gt;its been a good ride!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to my section,&lt;br /&gt;its had been real fun working with all of u!&lt;br /&gt;though there were times of frustration, wrong notes, disturbing pitchings.&lt;br /&gt;but we made it through.&lt;br /&gt;and i dare to say that we were one of the few sections that didn't have any attendance problems.&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;its been a joy slogging thru music scores this time and i look forward to more!&lt;br /&gt;=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

to all my fellow band mates,&lt;br /&gt;its been a big month, maybe even two months of preparation.&lt;br /&gt;but i believe that the moment when we started screaming like mad dogs on the choir gallery made up for all disturbing things like:-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. the meals skipped&lt;br /&gt;2. the sleep missed&lt;br /&gt;3. the fatigue&lt;br /&gt;4. the tv shows missed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOL.&lt;br /&gt;we made sacrifices.&lt;br /&gt;but i'm sure it was worth it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha...&lt;br /&gt;with that,&lt;br /&gt;i'm

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i believe it did.&lt;br /&gt;with time, and the individual judge scores announced, i believe everyone either have to believe that it was totally rigged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Associate Professor Ho Hwee Long is a widely recognized and respected figure in music circles. He possesses a Masters'&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;degree in Music Education from Northwestern University, Illinois, USA, and has studied band conducting under the tutelage of Professor John Paynter. Since 1967, he has an impressive record of achievements in the field of Singapore band music. He is currently an Associate Professor and the music coordinator of the Division of Visual and Performing Arts in the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University. He conducts the NIE Symphonic Band, and the National Junior College Symphonic Band. His love for music and &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0);font-size:180%;" &gt;beliefs in exacting standards &lt;/span&gt;has seen &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR:

style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh his beliefs in music definitely allowed his bands to make their mark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;(oops, what mark did they make?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet

w/o all the alumni pracs.&lt;br /&gt;it'd honestly be kinda empty.&lt;br /&gt;the alumni band had not only helped us realise the satisfaction from making good music.&lt;br /&gt;it has already become an avenue where we meet up.&lt;br /&gt;have lunch and talk cock/business like we used to in secondary school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it's really hard to imagine us being so tight and close to each other should this band not exist.&lt;br /&gt;we won't even be talking about meeting three to four times a week.&lt;br /&gt;we'd be fortunate enough should we be able to meet once a week.&lt;br /&gt;catch a movie every fortnight.&lt;br /&gt;or have a decent meal together every month.&lt;br /&gt;the band had served more den a sole purpose of creating good music.&lt;br /&gt;it brought people together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh and i learnt two new terms today...&lt;br /&gt;BFF = Best Friends Forever.&lt;br /&gt;and the other one i forgot le. haha...&lt;br /&gt;hopefully, the band forged bonds between people that will go on to be BFF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;listening to our recording last night made me more than satisfied with our performance.&lt;br /&gt;its just because our time to shine even brighter is not at NBC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;天时，地利，人和。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;our time had come before, and will come again, provided we work hard!&lt;br /&gt;and i guess we will work hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我们不是省油的灯！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;haha.&lt;br /&gt;things that do not break us will only make us stronger.&lt;br /&gt;and i
