 in all my hassle to live, i've forgotten about my mentor and teacher ms. tan. although she was just my theory teacher, she taught me more than just theory of music, but the theories of life. i wanted to pay a visit to her last year, only haven't had the time to, or i was just plain lazy. now that she has passed away, i could only regret not having to appreciate her kindness to me. and the last thing she said to me was this:  to ms. tan, you'll never be forgotten by me KICKED ASS AT 6/25/2004 09:31:00 PM.
 the znud piece KICKED ASS AT 6/25/2004 03:09:00 PM. St.Joseph's Institution presents: renaissance 2004 yes, i'm playing again this year, but for 3 or 4 measly songs. that's because i'm old and they have thrown me into the alumni band. good news is, no more classical music for me! better news is, we're playing vulgar pieces!! well.. in musical terms it's vulgar. and the ZNUD song i've been raving about is gonna be played too.. thank goodness. anyway,if u are at the least bit interested in this.. and i think you'll enjoy it, get tickets from me yea? tickets are sold at $10 a piece on a first come first serve basis. it's held at the sji performing arts centre on the 16th and 17th july. make your decision quick because the tickets will always be sold out every year and you'll have to resort to black market to sell ur tix!

 dream car.. zzz.. KICKED ASS AT 6/23/2004 02:12:00 PM. did i tell you i saw clara today? did i tell you i saw clara today? did i tell you i saw clara today? DID I TELL YOU I SAW CLARA TODAY??? ahhhhhh dumb ass justin huan kirk liang from 2t26 kept irritating me with his constant question above. ahhh!!! so i shall scandalise him now... it's CLARA LOW he's talking about! muahahahaha.. i went to town with my sec sch bandmates today to slack. let me digress a little......................................... I'M DEAD!!! i've not studied yet!! arhh!! and wad was i doing in town?!?! supposed to be studying today, what the hell was i doing in town?!? wad was justin huan kirk liang doing in town!?!??! obviously to see CLARA LOW. muahahha.. but WAD WAS I DOING IN TOWN?! k, let's steer back to the right direction. yea.. i bought a cap and a tennis racquet shock trap thingamajig. anyway, the purpose of leaving the house and not studying is to go for alumni band practice, which was somewhat depressing and uplifting at the same time. depressing in the sense that our conductor was qt pissed with us cuz basically, we sucked. (well, not for my section of course) uplifting was when we played this japanese piece which was DEAD cute.. imagine us playing a powerpuff girls or astro boy genre of music. basically that's it. all throughout the damn practice justin huan kirk liang was constantly irritating me with his clara low antics. btw, i nicknamed the japanese piece ZNUD. cuz that's wad the japanese words look like in the context of alphabets. it's been 3 years since i played the sax. and my lip hurt cuz i've played it for a dead long time. i miss playing the sax. sighx. maybe life ain't that bad in secondary school afterall. well, at least it's better than jc. particularly CJC.. where exams are drawing close and we dun have a choice whether to study or not. how i wish life was would freeze in secondary school. particularly sec 2. or mid sec 3. when i was either in shorts or still getting used to long pants. i remember.. utada hikaru. i was first introduced to her when we played her songs for concert.. with the solo still imprinted in my mind. it was a dream.. being whisked away from troubles, but what troubles do i have in sec 2? everything was taken care of by my seniors. i miss sweden. when the sun sets at 12am and sun rises at 1 am. i miss swedish meatballs and sausages. HUGE sausages when we used to laugh stupidly when we 1st saw them. the cathedral where we played bamberg fantasy. and the place brought a totally different view of the music. a VERY much magical perspective of the music. not to forget the hostel which we thought was haunted. there you go, picture yourself in sec 2 and looking at a foreign place with no background of the houses there. what would you think?  and there's the interior of the building. where we slept. imagine if it was night time. and you are sleeping alone. how would you feel?  there's me and my conductor, lester. YEA go ahead. LAUGH.. there's dorky ol' me in sec 2. argh... can't believe i'm that geeky.  man, i miss those times. KICKED ASS AT 6/22/2004 11:12:00 PM. for some reason, a savage garden song is stuck in my head. 
n it got me thinking that has the band broken up? ponders.. i began trashing my house to look for the cd and listened to it. the songs got me reminising the past when i was listening to it at what.. pri 6? or pri 3? i forgot. i've decided not to follow in my parents' footsteps. you'll have a difficult relationship like they did. it irks me to see them like this now. sigh..
