Dumbledore

Im sooo sad right now!!! :'(

How can Dumbledore die?????

Ya lah ya lah..ive just finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince.

How come I didnt find out earlier that he died? Well, probably because i had a hell of a job keeping away from spoilers in relation to the book. However, my DEAREST sister had to finish reading the book while i was in camp and happily announced that Snape killed Dumbledore when we were watching Chamber of Secrets on TV!

Dun u just hate siblings when they do that!?!!

-sighz-

He died u know! He died!! The way he died also soooo pitiful!!! I hope the next book comes out soon. Cant wait to find out what happens next!

Somehow just feeling a deep sense of lost.

Guess when u read such a thick book, one just cant help but feel attached to the characters of the story some way or another at one point.

-sighz-

hahha..funny how i can get sooo emotionally attached to just a story book! haha.. must be too free nowadays! Nothing else to worry me about. Good in a way i guess~ : )


Oh btw, 32 more days before the New Year!!
Barely more than a month to 2006!

Hmm, 2006..Another year of unknowns. Another year of great wonders. Another year to feel emotions of happiness, saddness and what nots..Another year of LIFE.

And i already have 2 important dates circled on my calendar of 2006! -excited-

1) My 21st bday
2) My bro's wedding

All in the same month too!! wooohooo!!!

What a great year ahead!!

Camp + Rondeau XX

It's abt 15days since i last updated. Not the longest but long enough. :p

So what have i been up to?

Well, with the intention of blogging abt my activities, i did managed to take a few photos here and there.

Let's see.. After the last entry, i had a camp during tt weekend. It's an end-of-the-year camp for the primary school kids.

Gosh...those little Energizer batteries! Every minute moving around! Just to give a rough idea, there were abt 50kids with supposedly 8 leaders. But some leaders were NOt even doing their job! Bleah to their attitude man!!

Anyhoos, some of the activities included rock climbing (which i was too busily involved so no pix! =D i LOVE the sport!! Managed to complete the walls..something which i cldnt in sec2!!! ohh ohh!! and i learned how to be the one pulling the ropes at the bottom! belay [or however u spell tt..hehe]), fencing and a short drive through Orchard Road to see the Christmas lightings. Pretty disappointing in my opinion.




k,first one is the big tree outside Paragon. Seems like tts all they put up every year! -_-

And of all places to get stuck in the jam, the bus stopped at a place where there were no major decorations. So those 2 were the only clear stuff i managed to get. Bearing in mind the fact tt the irritating kid beside me kept asking me to see his 'card tricks' (was humouring him b4 reaching the place..His reactions were so bloody retarted..Cld see all the 'tricks' he was trying to do! kids~ )

Moving on, we had fencing the next morning. Left hand had 3 blisters from all the belaying (still dunno how to spell tt word) so didnt try fencing. Was tooo damn tired also.



Cute arent they?! hahaha...Look like one of the comic character. All soooo short with red helmets! Then the way the little kids (K2s) fence damn funny!!

They dun even block their opponent from attacking! They will just walk foward with the sword in position and then whose sword touch the other person first will score!! Was laughing sooo much tt i nearly fell of the little bench! hahaha..damn funny la!

So after fencing, we went to Swensons at the Airport to eat. Was feaking tensed tt few hours i tell u!! Cos i was in-charged of the baby group (K2s and P1s), i had to make sure they dun somehow disappear. And the thing with little ones is tt they cant keep still. So there were quite a few times i wished i were an octopus so i can hold on to all of them!

After lunch,dead tired. But still had to humour them. One of the girls in my group super clingy! HAVE to hold my hand every minute. Let go awhile she will get scared. So whole time she was like hanging off me. Hugging me ah..holding my hand..



There. The girl on the left. Dont get fooled by tt innocent face ah!! The other girl still not too bad. Once again, kids~

k, so after tt camp (which overall wasnt too bad la.) had to take 2 days to regain energy plus with all the band practices, didnt have time to update.

And then there was the actual Rondeau XX performance on saturday (26/11/05). This time, was mainly helping them out for a few songs la. Very minor parts (in my opinion). But in music, every part, however minor is important. hehhe..so anyhoos, cld say tt because of that lack of stress, i did enjoy performing for this concert.

Besides the fun factor, i also made some cool new friends!



She is Seow Hwee. Wen Bing's friend. Also was asked to help out pretty last minute. Thanks gal for the little book-mark thing. Good luck for the last 2 papers!! =)



Li Hsien (year1) . Also a trombonist-turned-percussionist like me. haha..but heard she's going back to tbone next performance.

Well but still miss my usual 'Band Gang' (try saying tt fast 10 times! =D ) la! Still remember the stupid game we used to play before each performace? hhaha.. haizz, do u think we can do tt ever again?

This performance was also a chance to meet up with ppl i already knew too. [But due to the lack of a proper digital camera, was only able to take pix with my hp or collect frm those who asked me to take pix. Will only show 2 here la.]



This is Jay from my sec. sch band. Pix was taken slightly before the interval. Boy, i love backstage during performances! It's a mess of nerves, ppl getting dressed up and ppl wishing each other good luck before showtime! Just love the atmosphere. Maybe tts also the part of performing i so love. The conquering of nerves.



And this is WenBin. He's the one who called me back. A great great percussionist in my opinion. Well, this was taken after the concert, back in school. If not wrong, was ard 10.30+pm already. So all super tired from moving the instruments. My eyes were becoming red!
Hey dude, thanks for all the entertainment during the practices! Wld have been sooo boring otherwise. Am gonna miss ur stupid stories le! And hey,also thanks for the flower dear!

Another note of thanks is to Jasper for the miniature trombone display piece. Always wanted something like tt! =D hhehe..thanks sooo much!!

To end, thanks to everyone who had made tt day a great joy! Oh and to whoever who gave me any little presents here and there. Rock on people! Rock on...




Last thing..Who wanna watch with me??? [crappygang, wanna watch it at the *ahem* place?? dun wanna 'spoil market' by saying out here =p ] hehhe... Chicken Little!! Soo cute..

Why Why Why

Saw this in my mail. Found it interesting. And since im too tired to blog, here's a pretty good cut-and-paste entry. =) enjoy!

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? (hehhe..)

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle? (yah..why ah? i mean when it's still in the bottle..not at the top part..)

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? (ok. Common one.)

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized? ( we all are guilty of that arent we? -smirks- )

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over? (so true..soo true)

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes? (yeah..how come dun have!! they arent all that good k! bias!!!!)

And my FINALLY......

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you. "

Well,finally to end off..Just wanna wish my bestest and only sister-in-law (tt is unless my sister becomes a les. la) a very very Happy Birthday!! Hope u've enjoyed ur special day today.

Thanks for the wonderful lunch too! Food at ur place is always great man! Love u to bits! Have a blessed year ahead! :)

Survivor ISLAND

Wow..today's episode of Survivor was great!! Then again which episode isnt?

Despite being the irritating ass he was last week, Jamie did something this week which was kinda sweet. Dunno why but i did tear up a little. Maybe it was because he felt soo bad for his childish acts? Or then again it could all be very good acting.

My dad says that all these reality shows are just like WWF. All scams. Everything is plotted before hand. Maybe he's right. Maybe some things were plotted tt way. Maybe tt person who found the immunity idol was SHOWN the idol to add a twist to the show. Hmmm... Just like how they probably made step.'s team keep losing for the first few episodes to add spice.

Nonetheless, did i mention before how much i LOVE! this show? woohoo..i practically live for fridays man! (ooo..and wednesdays too..) hahha..

Hmmm, Rafe looks like he can get quite close to the 1million bucks. Funny guy..One of the few players who arent playing it toooo dirty..I wonder how i'll be like if i play the game..hmmm...probably thrown out the first week at tribal council because of some sickness! =D im weak man! bleah~

Btw can someone pls update me on who voted for Cindy in tonight's episode. Missed tt part due to a call.

OHh OHH!! Something funny abt tt call.. It's not tt i wanna laugh at people's pronunciation ah. I mean it's not like i can pronounce every word perfectly. Ask the gang. They know!

But this caller super cute sia. I needed the name of the caller and it was supposed to be 'Alan' (or so i found out after much difficulty~). Simple right? I thought it was...

Then this caller said ' Island' (well, it sure did sound like tt!!) and i was all like huh??!?! o_O ?!?

So i said, "Can u repeat the name again?"

Caller: "Island"

Me thinking to self: Island !?!? Got such name!?!? Or is it Ai Ren? (was thinking it was some chinese name. not ai ren as in 'lover' but more like 'short person'. Started laughing to self gleefully.)

Me: "err..(try my luck)..Island issit?"

Caller: "Yah..Island. A-L-A-N "

-_-

(at this point of time, we are all of cos aware tt the caller is most likely from china.hehe..no offense)

Get your freak on

It's just sooo freaky when just at tt moment u're thinking abt msging someone to ask abt something, tt person msges YOU! -shivers- and it's double freaky when tt person actually msges u with the exact answer of what u wanted to ask!


And still on the topic of being freaked out, i was looking at some pictures taken at Jo's bday outing and i realised something.. Don't bother checking every pix la gang..hehhe.. It's not that thing.

It's this picture.



Yup as u can see, it was taken on halloween's day. We saw this fellow outside TCC at Holland V. And i think it was very cool of TCC to hire him to do tt. But when i first caught sight of tt guy, he really did scared the daylights out of me man!! He was squatting bent over by the curb. Because it was kinda dark at tt time, i initially thought it was just some ah beng dressed in black squatting and smoking.

I was about to look away when he looked up!! Almost ran far away when i saw his black eyes and white face!! Look at tt smile!!!! -shivers- Dunno la,i just get very scared over such things. Yes, i do know tt under all tt makeup is a normal guy who most probably works at TCC..But boy..i sure was a tad bit afraid. Wonder why..Since young i was always afraid of such things. Those big big mascot-like things used to scare the shit out of me in the past. Chicken-hearted!! bleh~

Anyway as requested by eliza, here's the photoframe i made for jo..hehhe..as u can see,very proud of my unartistic talents. :D



With some sketches



The finished products. The one on the right is for my cousin. nice nice???


Alrighty, will end with a picture of the salad i made for the guests yesterday..
