Andrea Bocelli & Hayley Westenra -- Vivo Per Lei


Saturday, September 16, 2006

forbidden city last nite with my dad was great
the show's really intriguing.. with the characters portraying those extreme emotions really well.
loved kit chan's new power voice.
the rest of the cast was wonderful as well...
really thought they deserved a standing ovation..
some parts were pretty overwhelming..
i think gw go will cry ahhaha.

but the thing tt hit me most was the lyrics/lines of the musical..
their songs were beautiful
but their lyrics were even more strikingly meaningful
next time i'll upload a playlist and the lyrics here..
ahha waiting for zhanny to try it out first..

and it was my first time inside esplanade's theatre
been to the concert hall countless times..
actually it looks the same.. just more compact.
with the accoustics jus as pleasing.

to those who are gg to watch it..
ahha.. enjoy yourself..
=))


aand...

haha... terence toh's back!
waved hi to him when i spotted him during h2 econs lecture
he must have spent his entire day waving to choir pple!
lol!

dunno y its like nothing big but we're jus excited he's back.
lol.

and ms chin!! LOL.. she's so amusing!!
she lectured for h2 econs yest
and gonna continue on her 25 m essay for the next few periods!
but hey.. she's not bad.. quite a good lecturer.. jus tt she's really really verbose
hahahaha. like every other econs slide gt some bombastic eng phrase. lol.

these ppl never fails to amuse me!

had this mini choir session yest to perform for the pe dept.
it was really fun!! hahhahh. like totally!
coz we were jus going on n on singing old songs... while the pe tchers were discussing..
it was only 15 of us.. or less
but we managed to pull thru alot of songs.. without any conductor haha.
who cares if we went sharp.. haha we totally had fun.
but unfortunately for wadeva reason we didnt manage to sing karimatanu.

and the promo monster is raging thru the city walls tearing everyone and munching pple up!!!!
save the world!! get ur guns ready man!!
aggie! use ur laser beamZ! hahahahahha. LOL.
save your frens!! pple!

...

what does newfound passion for maths, econs and anything else academic
peppered with smiles and finding new hideouts around the school have in common.
they are probably nothing but blatant facades.
mebbe that includes accepting frens on frenster..

and that very paint used to paint that colourful life is wearing off.

WHY!

ask for the reason. but there's the endless flights of steps. and im tired. really really tired.

no one told me.
until now.

life just has to slide down that hill.
no matter ending off with a cliff tt throws u off into a sea of sharks
or into vast meadows of tranquility.
who ever knows?
as long as u never regreted...

i promised myself.
and i singlehandedly broke that promise too.

perhaps no one...
would ever understand that pain.
mammi ga ahma zai er nia


whats the point??
the point is....
whats the point??
the point is..

you may think the reason and everything's inexhaustable.
but its not.

thinking has brought me here to this conclusion.
its thinking that have changed everything too.
its still the same old u.
its still the same old me.


passing reservoirs have never been so painful.

and as everything is said and felt and heard..
it all revolves around nothing but back reality
where perhaps submitting EOM is more impt.
the endless cycle. de circuito aeterno.

and back to what i believe that matters.
you said you'll only think abt it after promos.
time will tell it all. all the best in this 4 weeks.


Sunday, September 10, 2006

just like that..
the hols are coming to an end.
together with many other things.
through all these struggles, im sure we'll emerge with something more than what we initially looked for..
just like that.
and that is for us to keep as our own.

BLEACH - Life is Like a Boat - Rie Fu


Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who’s gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can’t escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

dooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai
kudayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisarete tadake

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don’t give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku mukedashiteku naru
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o tsureteku

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I’d feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo
tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de ume o terashidasu

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Unmei no huneoko gi nami wa tsugi kara tsuki e to watashi-tachi o sou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne, dore mo suteki na tabi ne

yesterday was a really interesting day
started out the day with great plans to study and learn intergration
and probably do a lil econs..

met up with gw at amk.
gt bitched like hell but oh well....
shant elaborate lol
thank gdness we didnt have another taxi-driver-hears-something-wrong-and-outrageous-and-almost-get-into-a-car-accident experience...
no space at amk lib
so we went down to national lib in bugis..
did maths while he did econs til ard 2.
then we headed into bugis junction for lunch
ahha..

ate at billy bombers.
ordered some gigantic half chicken thingy that is so difficult to cut..
and the cedar gals sitting at the next table was busy gossiping abt us..
partly coz of my uncivilised manner of disecting the poor chicken up.
nvr eaten there b4.. so naturally didnt noe their theme was to mimic the 80s'
anw. scary thing is gw noes all the songs they were playing
while i knew none..
tt either means im totally suaku
or he is totally lao ah pek.
oh well.

went back to bishan after lunch..
stuff we talked abt during lunch made us kill the studying mood le..
so we trudged back..
and we visited the newly opened bishan lib too..
haha i like the cacoons glass thingy sticking out haha
quite cool..
jus tt it was never endingly crowded.

then i went home..
slacked for a while
then did the choir minutes that im so proud of haha.
even made a file to keep it for myself. lol
aggie be proud again! haha

mom wanted to go bishan to eat tt famous wonton mee again
so we headed down for dinner
jus as i was walking thru the coffee shop trying to find a space..
i spotted someone super familiar!
it was timothy!! oh gdness.
but i didnt say hi yet.. coz by the time i realised it was him i walked past his table already
so after my family found the seat then i went to look for him to say hi
and hohoho.. guess wad..
i not only found timothy
i found xinchu! douglas! joey! shihao! like LOL.
was pretty shocked abt tt coz i was jus thinking of my pending herd outing this fri ahhaa...
so coincidental!! (but oh well nt til u hear the later parts of the story)

they were pretty amazed to see me too
coz actually the day began with onli xc n joey planning to meet for study grp..
then halfway thru they bumped into timothy n shihao..
then later on douglas joined them..
or something..
basically all the meetups wasnt planned..
all the herdians jus came together unknowingly and actually stayed together for the next periods of time hahaha

they were apparently studying the whole time for like 8 hrs straightZ!!!
it was quite ohmygosh but i managed to get over it..
anw they asked to join them to study after dinner coz they were gg to continue lol..
so i told my parents n left with them to bishan lib..
this time we managed to get the nice cacoon spot jutting out frm the frontal region of the lib! hahha
it was quite cool having the entire world of pesdestrains below see u mug. lol..

anw the lib soon closed n we headed back to j8 and was abt to break off to go home when!!!
ohmy!!! i spotted chris and shouted for him!!
hahahahh!!
then the entire grp of us was even more amazed by our fated meetings today..
for months the herd has been trying to plan an outing and today we jus all seemed to appear at the same place at the same time!!! hohoho!!
it was so cool...

only left tianxiang who was busy playing comp at home?? lol..
the rest of us all met without any plans to before-hand.
jus plain fate. hahahahah.
so anw as usual being us we got so excited we started taking pics
and here they are lol.
made an interesting commotion in j8 too
with ppl walking past staring at us lol...they r probably amused!
haha but im like so used to it.. ppl staring LOL. opps.

yest was teacher's day celebration
today is teacher's day
happy teachers day to all teachers that ever crossed my path.
you've changed my life in one way or another.

right now we all have one month and one day to our promos if we start counting from today the 1st of sept. promos start on the 2nd of oct.
yup.

lets talk about yest
went back to cat high after teachers day celebration which ended at 915am coz ACES was called off coz of the torrents
well anw.. thing is the idea of gg back to cat high like so cool
but when i stepped in it wasnt so cool coz it reminded me of alot..
the nostalgia lunged at me like with no warning.
and the stark difference in culture in cat high n aj
and not mentioning the stark difference in materialistic qualities in both schs.
missed the sch hall...
and yest we were there when we overheard the maths dept giving back the sec 4s their prelim maths papers..
and they had 95 percent distinction.
im really smiling for u guys.
seriously.
esp the new maths hod.
u remind me of my pri sch days

and worst thing the pri sch section was jus right beside the sec sch..
but i didnt managed to go back to the pri sch to visit my teachers...
so sad. was at the canteen eating... but my fav stalls werent open..
when back and did my usual walk/stroll/strutting across the staff n hod rooms...
met almost all the teachers i knew or i cud meet..
was really nice to see them again...
i mean.. familiar faces sure gives u a sense of belonging.

and it wasnt so cool on another acc..
coz the teachers had to leave really quickly for their staff lunch..
nt much time left for all the small talk..
reminded mr chan tep kok abt our yue hui 10 yrs later at the carpark across the sch..
it brought back memories of my lower sec..
which im amazed at myself the minute details i rmbed.
gw wud be scared of me too..
coz i was almost relating every conversation we had btwn other ppl and scenes in lower sec in great detail.. to the exact thing each guy in tt frozen tableu spoke.
goodness im drama mama-ing again

anw didnt managed to see much 4-5 peeps too.
dunno why... but oh well...
thing is when i went to j8 after tt with gw andrew philip kenny gerald...
i saw big grps of diff classes having gatherings to decide wad to do...
yeah..
oh well.

its okie anw coz i still enjoyed myself pretty much..
but of course being me in all such nostalgic situations i will get tired really easily and so i was quite quiet lol
watched devil wears prada too..
i still really wanna watch pirates of the carribean and lakehouse.
blearhx..

and i missed the cj drama production Panopticon

i miss all of u so much...

now lemme dedicate this part of my teachers day entry to all my teachers
but coz of space n memory constrains i will only start frm p1.

pri 2 - ms sim li ching
pri 3 - ms wendy quek, mdm tang miew fun
