Remember the Angklung time....

yesterday was quite a hectic day for me.
After lunch, I rushed off to my dance class. I danced from 1.30 to 5.30
dance until I cant really feel my feet, especially after i tighten up the strap...
actually that is oso because there was shortage of girls.
so the gals present must dance n dance n dance to help the guy lah of course....

but dance is fun when u can follow. that's the case for my rhumba n foxtrot...
not so fun when u have to smoke through coz u r unsure abt the steps... that's the case for my inter chacha which I regret taking it slightly....
all blame it to my dec hols at home...but of course i never regret going home lah....(who is so stupid to prefer spending holiday alone in s'pore to spending lazy holiday at home..haha)

oh ya, continuing the story....
after dance at 5.30....i rushed again to PS to have my dinner before angklung...
see how busy i was hahaha, notice i used the word "rushed"...haha

i was all alone at that time coz the rest of the angklungers left from pgp by cab....
and I was suffering on the super long bus ride.....under the rain...
and i had to stop in such a dingy busstop near the embassy....now that was really called stranded alone...haha
but luckily i could find a cab to the embassy. (fyi, the road from the busstop to the embassy is equally dingy and the only means of transport in is your pair of feet or cab). Oh ya, it was raining summore. so the task of finding an available cab was almost impossible....most of them were hired.... or pretend to be hired... so that ppl will make calls and they will earn extra $3 ... cunning huh!!!

basically at last, i managed to get to the embassy safely n drily (maksudnya dalam keadaan kering)....
but i troubled laura n eva who went over to the busstop, unable to find me coz i left by cab aledy.... paiseh paiseh....sorry sorry.... ( a bit of misunderstanding...laura thought that i was alone n couldn't find cab... so being such a nice person she is...she went to fetch me.... --> the 'she' here refers to both laura n eva....haha)
sorry lah, wasted your effort...but your good intention had been noted...thx once again...

okay...but my complaining will just end here...
coz i enjoyed the angklung practice following that...
it was fun holding the angklung again...just like it was 4 years ago..haha...
wah, sounds so long time ago....
I can still remember ka' faridah (is this how to spell her name??) flipping the white board to show us the music score....wakakaka...
that was the stressful syf period....
but angklung is easy n fun to play. and it can involve many ppl...which adds on to the fun, of course...haha
but honestly speaking, the instructur that we have now didnt look as pro as ka' Faridah.... maybe shld not say not pro lah... wad I really mean is, he's not very prepared for his job. He never even prepared scores for us to play...
it maybe a good thing coz it can train us to remember the scores and not having to stare at our paper scores on stage...
but i pity those who played the bass... they have to constantly look at the conductor's finger...literally.
coz as he's conducting, his finger is showing the chords...haha
eg: 1 for C Chords, 5 for G chords
imagine, when he wants to show D chord...haha
and imagine doing that on the performance day...haha (oops...no offence to the current instructure...just in case he sees this...wakaka.... u are good too! haha)

currently the songs we are playing are "Naik Delman" and "Adelweis"...
fun pieces, especially the "Naik Delman", coz got the "tuk tik tak tik tuk" part...haha

okay lah....will update more next time.
oh ya, for those who are free...
my angklung performance is on 31st Jan (wed) nite...
not really sure abt the time though....
yup yup....come come....

bad schedule = bad mood....

sigh... This sem doesnt seem to be going well. Tutorial registration round just ended n i didnt get most of the slots that i wanted. As a result, I have to bear with my pathetic timetable. No more free days unless I have no labs on wed...but apart from that, i will have lessons from 8 o'clock in the morning until quite late in the afternoon (usually till 4, 5 or 6...). no good. this means i will have less time to rest in the afternoon and thus, i will slack at nite. I kind of able to foresee wad is going to happen. If i slack at nite, I wont be able to finish my work usually....sigh.... why is it so troublesome here in NUS?? why cant they just provide more slots for the time that most ppl wanted. why do we have to bid? why do we have to ballot? "exercise our responsibility n decision making??" sounds nice but not effective at all. it seems that they never consider that there are certain time slots that more ppl wants. why not just give more? why.....
since I'm stuck with this weird tutorial timing, I have no friends in my marketing tutorial class...haiz....got project summore....how am i gonna survive this. Just hope i'll get good ppl in my class.
now wad i can do is just complain n hope the NUS ppl will pity me n consider my appeal. If not, I just gotta deal with my time management.... i feel like i'm stressed unneccessarily with these trivial matters...huh!! need to learn how to cool down.....
And wad's wrong with MSN these days?? cant even log in now....sigh...
just wanna whine n complain. I'm hating sch now!!!!

ps: though computer seemed to be so smart and helpful, i just realised that it is stupid and creates a lot of unnecessary trouble.....arghhh!!!

new year new skin

as u all can see...i have new blog skin now...yay!
I took me quite long to modify the whole thing and the result is not as fantastic as i want it to be....but i really dunno how to modify it further...everything seems to be so squeezed, especially the tagboard...but no choice... with my limited html skill, this is the most i can do...

2 days ago, which is a saturday, all the indos here had a bbq in pgp. paid 5 bucks each. i thought we were supposed to be on budget and yet the things that the guys bought were chicken, stingray (a looot), beef, otah... no sausage, no fishball...haha...yah, but it was nice.
but chicken took super long to cook (bbq)...in the end some of the girls just take them back to the pantry and put them in the oven....haha....
the rest of the nite we just played cards and polar bear...haha as usual....
too bad i dun have any pictures from the bbq...too lazy to bring my camera that day...

today is monday and it is the 2nd week of sch aledy. I am relaxed but at the same time stressed...
all the lectures rush like trains...i havent even got time to look thru the previous one and a new lecture aledy begin...sigh....express train really...
oh ya, so many textbooks to buy oso....4 textbooks needed this sem. and i feel so dumb not to buy 2nd hand textbook for my CN1111....aduh...so expensive!
btw, this sem, I'm taking 6 modules, hope can survive. not just survive, hope i can do well of course....haha oh ya, this reminds me wad dipta said during IT lect. He said someone got CAP 5.0 and he got extra $2000 bucks from sembcorp....so good!!!...hahah (sounds so materialistic)...haiya, dream on....CAP 5.0 a bit impossible. can get above 4.5 will be a very very good improvement aledy...haha

okie lah...need to catch up on a lot of things now....
more update next time

here I am...

hello hello hello...
wow...it's been such a long time...I've been to lazy to update my blog throughout the holiday even when it still had good internet connection...
I shall sum up all the things that were happenning during this short holiday....(i will never ever complain that holiday is too long)
after coming back from KL (refer to my previous blog that is super long-winded), I've been in singapore for another week for my dance class...
then i fly back to jakarta after a few days, I fly to padang....see i fly a lot..haha
it was a great holiday there, nice beach!! feeding monkeys...it's quite a back to nature kinda trip... all the pics that i took there are in the comp at home...so cant show off here...next time maybe...
then come back jakarta again and basically there's nothing significant apart from slacking n going out with alice n dwee...oh ya, we oso met up with hokito, phya, stephan, gary...it was a nice reunion, after everybody separated, reminiscing the old times when we were in vj...
new year was as boring as ever, coz in jkt i cant go anywhere...unless u wanna get trapped in the midst of traffic jam doing nothing...so i decided on a wiser choice, slacking in front of my tv watching taiwan channel till countdown...haiz...wad a pathetic new year...
then yesterday i took flight back from jkt to sg, taking lufthansa....the flight was honestly the scariest flight that i've ever taken...it's not the plane's fault, but i guess the whether was just very very bad....we all can really feel the plane dropping down a lot on certain point of times.... it's very scary especially after the incident of adam air going missing, so everybody have some kind of anxiety (quated from adela)... but glad that it was all over and i'm back safely in singapore...
yep, and now i'm back in nus, with all the upcoming commitments that i dunno how to handle...lectures starting, everything is starting, i'm just unprepared for all this. still want the good relaxing time at home when wad i need to worry is basically nothing...haha...
wish me luck for this upcoming sem...hope it will be better than the one that has just passed...which is greatly unlikely...haha...
oopsss shldnt sound too pessimistic
ciaoooo
