interesting day

today was very interesting. not to say it was VERY good, but it was interesting.

first, church. arrived there at 9am and saw a bunch of the chinese group people standing outside. so i assumed they have their own activity or something, which was true, later on they were taking photos for some reason. anyway, and then, went up to the main hall. AND THERE WAS NO POWER. yup. the fan wouldn't on, the organ wouldn't on. didn't panic yet cos it happened before and it was fixed in no time. so, anyway, in the mean time, used the piano (more on the piano later). anyway, then, later, andrea and elvin came in. and elvin informed me that there had been a power outage since 8.30 that morning. and it was sudden to the point where they conducted a fire drill just in case. so here's us thinking, oh my god!!! so crappy. and...guess who an important group of people who were not informed about the power outage. the lectors. so there was me telling the animator that IF the mic has no power then we won't cantor the psalm. and he's going, huh? there's no power? and this was 5 minutes before mass was starting. so the whole mass no power, no mics, no fan, no light. do you know how hot it is in there without the fan? lucky it wasn't like blazing outside.

and...the piano. now i understand that maybe the power outage caused the heater of the piano to not work either. but the way the piano behaved just now was as good as the heater not existing at all. it was practically impossible to play that thing. it was out of tune (not very badly to the untrained ear) and the keys stuck. like we'd press a note hard and the key doesn't bounce back up. you know how annoying that is? so i stood at the side and helped daryl to 'reset' the keys after they were pressed. the poor guy apparently had a hard time trying to help me when i did the "happiness is the lord" apparently cos i was playing the left hand very complicatedly for him to reset. the bloody piano. if we have to use it on a regular basis, i volunteer to call in someone to fix it and i volunteer to cover the cost. geez. can we be a little professional? on hindsight, at least the piano, albeit screwed up, is there. imagine if there was totally no music at all? time for me to start bringing my pitch pipe on a regular basis again.

anyway. that was the morning. then later, went to the esplanade to sing at vocal consort's concert. that was FUN!!! the concert was a blast. think about it. full house at esplanade concert hall. woah! wish we could sing there instead. hehe. cost a bomb for sure tho. had serious case of deja vu in the dressing room. i swear i dreamt that place before. it was a very small room, probably supposed to be for 3 people (judging from the number of mirrors and dressing tables). nice place tho, just like a hotel room. only thing missing was a bed. there was even an attached bathroom with shower. how cool is that?

the stage was a little scary. adyll was right, you can really hear yourself practically loud and clear. and it didn't help that suddenly i could hear kirsten very loudly and clearly either. i kept thinking and hoping, please let me stay on key, please stay on key. especially for 'walk through the valley'. that was the really s-c-a-r-y one. cos it's slow and soft. i kept thinking i was singing too loud. hopefully not. adyll said it was good. so. :D 'te deum' was not too bad. I SCREWED UP. shit. i coughed out loud in the middle of the song. NOT GOOD!!! and i was standing in the middle of the row. AND i was in the freaking front row. fuck!!!!!! damn i really gotta get rid of this pesky cough asap. but lucky nelson didn't seem to react to me so...*fingers crossed* hate it when i screw up like that and i was trying real hard not to. sigh.

was forced to stay back and attend the rest of the concert. i mean...it wouldn't have been so bad if we had been allowed to change back to our normal clothes. it wouldn't have been so bad if we were given seats that were not so exposed. i mean, we were allocated seats in the gallery BEHIND the choir and stage. so it's like, the audience sees VC and right behind them is us. *jaw drops* so we all had to be on our best behaviour. which is not to say that a few people fell asleep during the concert. the 2nd half concert was better than the first as in, they had livelier songs. the john rutter collection, the choir came out wearing little cutsie childish outfits and carrying toys. even nelson came out carrying a teddy bear which he carefully placed behind the podium making it face the audience. damn cute lah. zofia had a solo! nicely done.

alrighty. moving on. i discovered this interesting site yesterday, (slide.com) and i was playing with it. it allows you to create picture slide shows to put on your website. take a lookie at MYSPACE to see it.

ok, all for now. haven't done much work this weekend. *guilty feeling* back to school tomorrow.

just something i saw online

Death is an angel
with two faces:

To us he turns a
face of terror,
blighting all things fair;

The other burns with
the glory of stars,
and Love is there.

slackerific

seeing as i still got another 2 hours before tutorial starts...

sigh. school's gotten into full swing. tutorials starting, lectures getting under way, choir starting to get in gear. i don't remember what i blogged about the last time so i'll just smoke my way through here and hope i don't repeat stuff (which i'm sure i will do).

sumi had another performance last thursday at the forum this time. it wasn't bad lor. guess who was there? jonathan leong! haha! saw him up close, maybe not personal, but saw him anyway. if i can describe him in one word, that word will be "howard". haha! ok, technically that's not a word, it's a name. but, then again, he reminds me of that guy. just the way he dress, the way he walks around and all that. pure howard. anyway. he was singing along when sumi was singing. :D hear that sumi?! means he was enjoying himself!! means you were good!!

finally got round to reformatting my computer. thanks to WW for helping me. and he helped me to get back all the programmes and stuff too. i really really appreciate it. contrast to that totally unhelpful attitude of that comp center staff. but anyway, it's working so well now. kinda. i mean, the previous booting time of 5 minutes has drastically reduced to less than 5 seconds. so happy. :D using itunes now. they got the video function. :D yay! but had to convert all my videos to mpeg format for it to work. haven't gotten round to converting the clack, but...soon.

met up with theo on friday. she was going all ga-ga over clack as usual. fun time. first time going into the TP library. quite a nice place. i liked their study tables. it's like, little personalised desks rather than one long table for all to share. it's more private. and their discussion rooms are actually soundproof. thinks of the 'chat points' in nus central lib that are NOT soundproof. so technically it's a 'whisper point'.

saturday had rehersal with vocal consort. adyll was very pissed with us. :( said we sang badly and had very bad attitude. but nelson said that we were technically ok. saw shi yun and zofia. miss those two girls. te deum is gonna be a blast. almost 100 strong choir lor. :D i'm going to buy the recording this year. i want a copy of te deum. had lost my voice on friday but recovered enough by saturday to sing a bit. really have to stop straining my voice else i won't have sound for this sunday performance. that's more important than the rehersals.

church. i screwed up the psalm for last sunday cos i prepared the wrong psalm. lucky i found out early. else we'd be SO screwed if we went up to the altar and started to sing the wrong psalm. that would be a disaster. cos at least, lectors, if they read wrong, can just turn to the right one and read, but cantors, can't just turn to another one and sing from scratch. but also, luckily, dawn came and passed me the psalm book for this year!! yay!!!!! no more needing to compose the psalm and adapt from the old ones. but the downside is, this book is the 'official one' but it's damn boring. it's all plain chant. it's very very easy tho. just boring. andrea managed to learn her next week's one in less than 10 minutes i think.

and...i got a new picture on my msn that's very controversial. and i think a lot is to do with my msn nick: "giggling-dangerous-totally-bloody-psychotic-menace-to-life-and-limb". so people have been contacting me online and saying, "irene, what are you doing to the poor duck?!" well, i have only this to say: "it's not my duck and it's not me holding the duck!!"

ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, i present, THE DUCK:

lol!




mood: sleepy, lethargic, lazy

bored in school

here i am sitting in school feeling bored and not wanting to study. so, i'll just blog a bit.

last night i watched "the arena". it's this new debating programme on 5. well...it's not as formal debating as formal debate. more informal. there's only 3 speakers anyway. it's like a reality tv show, debate style. anyway, i watched it last night. the topic was: Are youths these days motivated by self-centeredness alone. IJ St Nicholas vs MGS. i'm not going to comment on the arguments. cos it's not my place to comment on that. i've just got one thing to say. yesterday, the debate was kind of illogical to me because IJ was operating and arguing on a almost completely different definition of 'self-centeredness' compared to MGS. so, think about what happens. IJ starts arguing in favour of their own definition and MGS argues in their own little universe. and when 2 so different universes clash, there's not much that can be gleamed from it. weird. anyway, yesterday, i was seeing them based on the strength of their speaking. MGS was stronger. the IJ speakers are not. which is strange seeing as IJ is academically stronger. but then...MGS is stronger in terms of elocution.

i like NM2216. so far. it's fun. the other day in lecture, kevin mcgee was taking the class. we were seeing stuff like computer games (Zork) and music. we found out that kevin mcgee hates ABBA but loves those techno, ethnic rock sounds. he played bhangra music. then, the assignments are quite cool too. i mean, which other class asks you to document the steps involved in playing your handphone ringtone. and the latest assignment, he asked us to play with a paint programme and think about how we can make word-processing software user interactive enough to let users play with more of the features. fun. :D

been listening to some other music. i find that barbra streisand is quite cool. in terms of singing. her acting in "meet the fockers" is SO cute!! anyway, she's got a great voice. first heard her when i discovered "sunset boulevard", the "as if we never said goodbye". then in "hello dolly". she's one of those old time diva queens. they don't make singers like her anymore. it's an era thing, like film stars. go listen!! haha!




mood: sleepy
listening to: the music that makes me dance - barbra streisand

when i was bored today...

i recorded myself singing:

just audio. don't laugh. i reserve the right to laugh for myself.

here i come again

oh well, here i am again. :D so, wassup with my life? long post so...get comfy.

went with andrew for sumi's performance the other day at the esplanade. it was fun! met howard at aljunied mrt. that guy never change sia. anyway, sumi's performance. we went early but there was already so many people there. so we were stuck right in front of the speakers. oh my poor ears. but it was an EXPERIENCE. i never attended a performance at an outdoor venue like this before. i have also never heard a proper resonance performance before.

so anyway, sumi's group came first. sumi's solo was not bad. very sweet voice she has!!! just need to be more confident. but i think, in the circumstances, it was very well done. :Dduring sumi's solo, there was this thing flying through the sky. to me it looked like a stray firework, except that there was no reason for a firework to be around at that point. plus, it took a very long time to clear the tentage, which was quite unusual. so we were thinking, aliens? missiles? shooting stars? the end of the world is nigh? but anyway, later found out that it was some weather phenomenon. damn.

the second reso group...well, that group was more entertaining, cos they did choreo and stuff like that. BUT the cost of the choreo was that vocal quality was lower than sumi's group. so...just depends on what you value more.

moving on. school started. sigh. let's go by order of module.

EN3242 History of Film. that was ok. the class is very very very small. and the room was supposed to be at AS7, but dr wee managed to change the venue somewhere more pleasant. well, this is an interesting module, she showed us clips of the first films made. the ridiculous way they exploded a motorcar compared to the wonderful explosion seen in xmen. anyway, this module is not bad, but i thinking to drop it cos i don't think i can cope with the lecturer expectations. she's expecting us to write up to the standard of 3rd year lit majors. and frankly, i CAN'T do that. call me silly, i don't care. i think that this is going to be a very heavy workload. and since i can drop it if i wanna...we'll see.

NM2216 Introduction to Interactive Media. the main lecturer, dr daniella, she reminds me of that uli from project runway. she's from germany and has the exact accent as uli. well...first impression of dr daniella is that she's not a good lecturer. :p bad. and feedback from someone who has taken the module confirms the opinion, and even went on to report that she used to clash very badly with her previous assistant lecturer, even stopping to argue with the assistant during lecture. not a good recommendation. anyway, there's a different assistant lecturer this sem. dr(?) kevin mcgee. he seems to know what he's doing. and daniella seems to be singing his praises all the time. he took the first lecture and will be doing quite a bit of the technical stuff. it was interesting. i think i'm gonna stick with this one. :D

EL2102 Structure of sounds and words. well, what can i say. let's start with the lecturer. bao zhi ming. from an angle, he looks like nelson kwei. i'm serious. he's got the same round chubby thingy look. i can so imagine nelson in his position. and he's teaching all those things about how sound is created cos of whatever mechanism etc etc. but, nice lecturer as i think he is, i have no idea what he's doing. he went through lecture yesterday and well...it seems ok, but i don't know what to take down. he just rattles on. it's interesting but it's just...different teaching style lah. and cos his is a very very technical topic. face it, nothing is more technical than studying how sounds are produced. so yesterday he was going through all those physical structures that enable the production of sound. reminds me of terence and aunty mary in their voice classes. boring like hell.

EL3216 Language and the Internet. I WANT TO DROP THIS MODULE!!!!!!! ok, i'll say that the lecturer is nice. vincent ooi. it's a minature class size. kind of like comp lab sessions. he said that this is more of a research module than anything. reason i wanna drop this module is cos the workload is killing. there's an individual project and presentation, regular presentations in class and a group project to do, on top of our regular class work which will consist of a lot of real time research and analysis. and i hate having to talk in class. this year i'm being forced to do so cos the lecturers are all quite strict about class participation and have already threatened to hand out zeros in class participation. damn. anyway, back to the subject. EL3216. jan and yulong are taking it too so at least i'm not totally alone. chih lin is also taking this but the thursday class. sigh. bad luck. wish she was taking tuesday with me. anyway, despite all my complaining, i can't really drop the module cos i need it to make up my major. yuck.

EL3254 Media Discourse and Society. dr lazar at first impression seemed to me to be a very soft spoken easy bullied lady. BUT she's a little chilli padi in disguise. even more chilli padi than mdm yew was. she's tough, no nonsense type. which is nice. but then, she's the one that threatened zero in class participation so...not that good. ok, this module, also got heavy work. it's kind of a student led teaching style, so means presentation. me, joseph, chih lin and shelby were unlucky enough to be assigned a topic quite late in the semester. we were aiming for a week 4 or week 6 presentation but...:p at least, as joseph pointed out, the presentation is not near the time of VV. anyway, this module seems to be ok. according to how dr lazar introduced it just now, it seems to be an extension of cultural studies and that other EN module...forgot the title. so, i think it's manageable.

i think this sem, it's the EL modules that are going to kill me. i already feel overwhelmed. geez. this sem's going to be hell on earth. what with the choir stuff to settle, these are my major modules leh!! i'm already doing so badly for everything. sigh. why do we need to have to settle on a single major anyway? why can't i just do a general degree in arts? i'm so much happier that way. and arts degree doesn't really mean anything in the working world anyway. what industry other than teaching values a BA in Linguistics? i think i'm going to try out syntax tomorrow with joseph. hopefully it's like 2101 kind of easy. then, i'll drop EN. or maybe be a 'shadow' student in the class. haha! at least, i can hurry up with my major requirements. i'm so far behind. and me dreaming of going SEP next sem too. have to finish as much as i can as soon as possible.

on the subject of SEP. su hui's gone over to NC liao for her SEP. lucky girl. go and see HER BLOG!! NC looks like England. sigh. me and the girls saw her online just now and were going more than a little crazy talking her. imagine, 4 msn conversations going on at the same time, on the same computer. haha! but it was a good time. i miss the time when we all gathered together to play and laugh and giggle together. so, today was nice. dh wasn't there tho. damn. never mind, next time. tried out the western food at the makeshift canteen. btw, the makeshift canteen is so useless. it's so small. it's impossible to accommodate the number of students in arts. which probably explains why the arts fac is suddenly so empty except in between lectures. the corridor is so empty literally it's empty.

helped choir to distribute fliers yesterday. saw mr pang walking along. guess what he said. he walked pass and i gave him a flier, he looks at it and then exclaims, "wah! you still in choir ah?" *speechless* what do i say after a statement like that??? what? you think nelson managed to scare away everyone from choir? i haven't even seen nelson since that buddhist thing at the indoor stadium. so technically...nus choir isn't exactly under his express guidance. lol! he just shows up at concerts and takes the glory.

anyway, i just finished reading "gone with the wind". omg!!!! that book!!! it's very very good. a real classic. everyone should read it. i mean, the movie is so famous, the book should be too. it's such a good book. now i know exactly about scarlett and rhett. omg that was such a romantic romantic story. scarlett is so...tough and yet soft underneath all her impropriety. and melanie. sometimes i wanna slap her to wake her up to the reality of things, but anyway. like i said, the book is really good. 4.5 out of 5 stars. docked of half star cos it is very very long and it started off a little slow. it's been a while since i read a book quite like this. :D

and talking about books and stories. i've started to put up my new clone fic on the GCA board. hee! i got my own universe now, so exciting stuff. but for me it's scary cos i don't know if i can live up to expectations. i'm almost done with this current story but not quite. see, i'm breaking my rule not to start posting until i finish. anyway, like i said, i'm almost done, and hopefully by the time my posting reaches up to my typing, i'll be done with it by then. interesting hobby this is. yes. (think yoda accent)

i'm going to refrain from talking about church for a while cos we're kind of undergoing a change. so, until i settle down there...silence on that front.

now, a friend i know was talking about blogs on her blog. she was talking about basically, why is it that people like to blog so much? and like it to the point where they keep multiple blogs all over the place. btw, i'm guilty of such a thing. i have blogs (yes, blogs in plural) on blogger, at myspace, on multiply, and i used to have one at livejournal (which i think has long since shut itself down due to neglect). but then again, the content of the blogs are exactly the same. cos i can't be bothered to type different stuff for different blogs. so, any of my blogs you go to, you'll see the same entries. (except my other blogger one which is a secret) anyway, and i like to read blogs also cos it helps me to keep in touch with people. like my friend over in england. if not for her blog, i wouldn't have kept in touch with her at all. i want to keep in touch with people but i suck at picking up a phone and formally asking on friends. so, a blog is the best way. it's so much better than reading someone's profile page on friendster or something. i mean, i can tell you from personal experience, people like me, NEVER update their profiles. so, it's not reliable. and just looking at profiles is just not enough to consider being in touch with the person.

and...well...ya so, the other question why do people like to blog? for me, i started blogging way at the height of the blogging era, a few years back and have been blogging regularly ever since. i guess for me, (well, apart from the fact that it's become an addiction) i like to blog cos well, it helps me to get down what's happening in my life, kind of like a channel to air my thoughts since i don't like to speak it out and got no one to speak it out to anyway. i mean, can you imagine, if i started to talk about everything i just talked about above? won't you just walk away in boredom? anyway, personally, people who read my blog and know me in real life have commented that i have an online alter ego that pops up and takes over my fingers when i blog. so...for me, blogging is a way of letting of steam and saying things that i will not say in real life. it's kind of like an outlet probably. i worry less about offending people in virtual reality as opposed to offending them in real life. i know, not good. but i don't really care. (btw, i DO exercise restraint when i'm slamming or bitching people which as you may notice, i don't do often) and another reason i like blogs more than writing paper diary these days is cos i type faster than write. or rather, i'm lazy to write. it takes less effort for me to type. hehe! my typing speed can match up to my stream of consciousness.

anyway, i'm forgetting what else i want to blog about. so...till next time then.

Everything I Have

by Clay Aiken

album: A Thousand Different Ways (2006)

I feel like I never measure up to who you see
Sometimes I think I can't give you all the love you need
You keep changing everyday
Amazing me in everyway.

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have

I never dreamed I could ever feel the way I do
I hope and pray I will always be enough for you
I can only do my best
I have to trust you with the rest

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have

I promise I will hold you through the changes and fears
When life seems unclear
And when I can't be right there with you
I know there's angels by your side

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything... I have

update!

i'm kinda lazy to blog, but then again, i'm lazy to do anything at all so might as well get started on it.

alrighty, and it's another year gone by. seems like such a long time ago. time for a quick review of the past year and events. i don't even remember what's happened last year but here goes anyway:
- became leader of the church choir.
- gotten an F (*ouch*) for the first time in my life.
- skipped tutorials on purpose :p (my profs better not read this)
- sang buddhist songs
- attended latin workshop
- worked in a real office
- snuck out to buy clack. *heehee*
- wrote a fan fic
- spent the most time ever with a guy
- took 2 maths modules in a single sem. (god help me. never again.)

but anyway, that was last year. as usual at the beginning of the year, time for resolutions and stuff that i may or may not keep. i don't remember last year's resolutions and can't be bothered to go look it up.
this year, i resolve to:
- study harder and get a CAP of 3.5 and above.
- be marginally more healthy and lose 10kg.
- spend a little less time on clack. or rather...be more balanced in virtual reality life and real life.
- be more independent and confident of myself.

moving on. the feast day was...well lets say it could have gone off a whole lot better. i think the biggest problem was because there was no proper rehersal. i mean, in retrospect... it's not realistic to expect a perfect performance when it's been a collaboration of at least 3 different church organisations that have never worked together before. with that in mind...benedict and andrea's "When You Believe" went off ok. the choir coordination was alright. then...the sound guy turned off the recording. WHY??!?!?!?!!?! that's when it all started to screw up. cos there the nuns were standing on the stage and no music. see, this is what happens when there's no rehersal. so, i think in the end, fr paul led them to do acapella sister act. *rolls eyes* then, the dance. now, THIS one went off not too bad in rehersal. BUT at the actual performance, suddenly they were blowing smoke and bubbles and everyone was on stage at the same time. confusion reigned. the smoke was so thick and stinky and couldn't hear the music clearly. geez. and then at the end, george was like, "open the banner! OPEN THE BANNER!!!" and well, yes, he did tell me before that we got a banner to do during the finale. BUT he never told me where's the banner, nor exactly when or how to do it. so i was like, "what?! where's the bloody banner?!" ok, i admit, partly it's my fault for not asking the right questions about it. thing to learn about this, when you put together a bunch of people who don't do performances like this every single night, or on a regular basis, rehersals are a must. and not just rehersal of single items in isolation, but a full run of the entire performance.

anyway, and then, i didn't exactly know what i was supposed to be doing after that. went to find aunty margaret who told me to go sit down. so, went. baby was so cute that day. :D she was taking those ticket/sticker things and sticking it on everyone. she would take the sticker, stick it on my shoulder, then pat it to make it stick. SO CUTE!!! then dad took her to go walk walk (cos our table was in a very very bad position - in between the range of 2 tents and their fans. ie, in a no air zone. damn hot. anyway. dad took her for a walk, then brought her to the stage to put in the donation. george saw her and asked her to do some stuff. i love me my lil coz! aunty brenda was saying that janice looks exactly like me when i was her age. *hee* i'll post a photo to compare soon. :D

but then, dinner ended on a bad note. ah ma practically fainted about 3/4 way through dinner. imo, it was the heat plus the wine she was drinking. so, had to leave early to send her back. but anyway, she went to see doc the next day. they say it was high blood pressure is all. as much as i find ah ma darn annoying most times...don't want anything to be wrong with her lah. she's coming round later to go for her follow up check up. hope everything's ok.

moving on to more happy stuff. i watched "my fair lady" on arts central the other night. I LOVE IT!!! 4 out of 5 stars. it's the version of the "pygmalion" (or however it's supposed to be spelt). anyway the story is that some linguistics professor, prof higgins, makes a bet that he can pass of a common flower girl (eliza doolittle) into a lady at an embassy ball in 6 months purely by changing the way she speaks. as in, changing her common low class accent into a high class accent. it was so funny, the way she was trying to learn how to pronounce her vowels. and learning not to drop her "H"s to the point where she accidentally set her notes on fire. and she was so scared of the prof that she didn't dare to stop to put out the fire. actually i think the prof higgins is such a self righteous pompous bastard. he was just using eliza to achieve his own gains. he treated her like an object all the time. like eliza said, "the difference between a flower girl and a lady is not how she behaves but how she is treated." *nodnod* yup. go watch it if you can, very funny and worth watching. audrey hepburn is SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then...mum's got a job. bets as to how long she'll last there. i bet 6 months at most. she's gotten a job as childcare teacher at some center in eunos. and already she made me and andrew and dad do a lot of the prepatory work for her. she should pay us. haha! anyway, like i predict, i don't think she'll last long cos, as sr joanna pointed out, this center is very VERY profit driven, and mum doesn't really like this attitude. anyway, we'll see.

nus stuff...well, gotten 3 modules already. 3 english modules anyway. hope i can cope. anyway, even if i can't, i have to cos that's my major. so...still got 2 more modules to bid for. i'm looking to go for history of film and a new media module. hope can get. currently i can get a free day. sort of free day. it's a thursday, which means, i'm free during the day then have to come back to school for choir in the evening. sucks. but then, a pseudo free day is better than no free day at all. :D

and it's time for advertising. announcing NUS CHOIR VARSITY VOICES 2007. concert is on 4th march with guest choir, the Vocal Consort. come k!! it's gonna be a great show. u can buy tickets from sistic or from me, when i get them. :D see you there!
