Today's song is Under Pressure. This particular version (the original!) was performed by Queen and David Bowie, and I like this version very much! Haha :D Right now I'm facing much pressure: Pressure to do well, pressure to behave well, pressure to pass my NAPFA (I have passed my five stations! Left the running ...) and more.
Today's song is The Reason by Hoobastank. Why is today's song The Reason? The reason is ... (Ok I know I'm a bit lame) Oh well just enjoy today's song. Good for singing at the top of your voice :D
It's been a long time since I last posted anything about my current life; the last time was almost a month ago! Ok so here are some of the highlights of the recent weeks:
#1. Speech Day I still remember that my mood when going back to BP was that of a good mood. Then I was directed left right up down centre to take my attendance. That changed that mood to a worse one. Then came a pleasant surprise: the guest-of-honour is one of my (ex-)classmate's father! :D
Here's a photo of 4T2 '09. Wonder who everyone is looking at haha :D #2. Rotary Flag Day This was my first time taking part in a flag day, so I think I may be a bit noob ;) Initially I got myself a good location at AMK central, at the middle of a sheltered linkway. Then when more fund-collecters stationed themselves at both ends of the linkway, I found myself having no "business" at all. So I decided to relocate to another hawker centre (close to AJ) and I got brisk "business" there. I cleared all my stickers!
#3. Resilience workshop The appetizers (first few activities) are interesting, and as for the main course, of the four high elements activities that we have planned to complete, I completed the rock climbing only. Even then, I could not reach the top :( Then it rained (that's why we couldn't do our pre-planned activity ...) Then our class had class dinner at Harbourfront ;) ...
#4. FOL (Festival of Life) program - Aesthetics workshop - Beatboxing! The beatboxing program was thoroughly exciting and fun! My instructors have such chemistry, they can go host their own radio show and be like the Muttons :D And my group even won a mini competition and we got nice T-shirts designed by one of our instructor! That reminds me that they coincidentally wore the same outfit for the lesson!
#5. Circle Line Discovery My favourite station is officially Dhoby Ghaut station (CCL), and second place is a tie between Mountbatten station and Paya Lebar station!
#6. I(nnovation) & E(nterprise) day Some activities were interesting like cryptology (Maths) and Nanoscience (Physics) but others like advertisements (CL) are less interesting. Worst is GP - It's just like any other GP content lecture!!!
#7. AJ scholarship I was notified that I got the scholarship through SMS ... Obviously I am very happy but with great power comes great responsibility so now I have pressure to be as good a role model for the rest of the student population as possible ... That means no slacking off tutorials :(
#8. My birthday It passed by without much fanfare. The A square program was on and that meant I reached home at 10 pm. How to celebrate? Go home straight away go to Facebook and thank all the well-wishers, and then almost midnight liao. Then I had to rush to make birthday wishes before midnight arrives ...
#9. SYF Display Band Competition 2010
TK and PY gold, BP and WS silver, Bowen and Deyi gold with honours, YI and SF bronze
That was the results of the competition. Deyi got both best band and best drum major. Even though I feel that Bowen deserved those titles ... And BP could have fared much better ...
#10. AJ Interact Club EXCO interview Snippets of my thoughts right after the interview:
Prison setting? I described myself like sh*t How must I show that I can balance those??? Haiz ... I think I might have messed up my EXCO interview ... It's all right if I don't get in right?
#11. An assault There is irony here. Double irony in fact. Irony 1: The day before, I was asked what if a member was assaulted by a resident? I answered I will console him/her then send him/her for some counseling. And now I'm assaulted. Irony 2: On that day, free-writing topic was "Violence is the solution to ..." (nothing was my answer) and I'm faced with violence right in my face ...
So that's it for now. I may not be updating this blog as often as I would like to (every week), due to commitments such as PW. But do come back every now and then - I may have new posts!
Here's today's song. I was inspired to put up this song as I was thinking about what defines me. What/Who am I? Well, (just an example) "hardcore mugger" isn't my name!
Today's song is Telephone, by Lady Gaga (featuring Beyonce). I'm now hooked on this song!
Here's today's song: (The lyrics are below!)
Lyrics to Telephone [Lady Gaga] [Lady Gaga] Hello, hello, baby You called, I can't hear a thing. I have got no service in the club, you see, see Wha-Wha-What did you say? Oh, you're breaking up on me Sorry, I cannot hear you, I'm kinda busy.
Just a second, It's my favorite song they're gonna play And I cannot text you with a drink in my hand, eh You shoulda made some plans with me, you knew that I was free. And now you won't stop calling me; I'm kinda busy.
Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna think anymore! I left my head and my heart on the dance floor. Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna talk anymore! I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
Can call all you want, but there's no one home, and you're not gonna reach my telephone! Out in the club, and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Call when you want, but there's no one home, and you're not gonna reach my telephone! Out in the club, and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
[Beyonce] Boy, the way you blowing up my phone wont make me leave no faster. Put my coat on faster, leave my girls no faster. I shoulda left my phone at home, cause this is a disaster! Calling like a collector - sorry, I cannot answer!
Not that I don't like you, I'm just at a party. And I am sick and tired of my phone vibrating. Sometimes I feel like I live in Grand Central Station. Tonight I'm not taking no calls, cause I'll be dancing.
[Both] Cause I'll be dancing Cause I'll be dancing Tonight I'm not taking no calls, cause I'll be dancing!
[Lady Gaga] Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna think anymore! I left my head and my heart on the dance floor. Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna talk anymore! I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna think anymore! I left my head and my heart on the dance floor. Stop calling, stop calling, I don't wanna talk anymore! I left my head and my heart on the dance floor.
Can call all you want, but there's no one home, and you're not gonna reach my telephone! Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
Call when you want, but there's no one home, and you're not gonna reach my telephone! Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
My telephone! M-m-my telephone! Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
My telephone! M-m-my telephone! Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
My telephone! M-m-my telephone! Cause I'm out in the club, and I'm sipping that bub, and you're not gonna reach my telephone!
We're sorry the number you have reached is not in service at this time. Please check the number, or try your call again
BONUS!!! Here's a very interesting "unofficial" music video for Telephone, featuring who else but "Lady Gaga" and "Beyonce"! Hope you like this video as much as I do! :D
Wow this week I'm so busy even my Music Monday post last Monday is so short! There's lots of things to do this week:
#1. Monday: Maths Lecture + E-Learning Part 1 Happily forgot about the E-Learning days until someone mentioned it during the extra Maths lecture ... Anyway I hope my dear Maths tutor who gave the lecture on Functions can lecture some other topics (better yet, the rest of the lectures!) so we can have our proper dosage of laughter!
#2. Tuesday: E-Learning Part 2 Cleared the hard-core subjects: Chemistry and Physics. Maths was postponed to Wednesday :D
#3. Wednesday: Maths Olympiad Training + Outing + Citaro! The Maths Olympiad "engine" which has been rusting for so long, finally starts moving! It's efficiency is still not great, but time will settle that. Then comes a short outing, then camping for the Citaro! The bus was hot (literally!!!) for the afternoon ride! I was at the PIW bay, and when I touched my bag it was really hot! Haha :D Then BW came along (on time!) for the ride back to Yishun! Then me and him got lots of things to catch up on, ended up talking and talking on the way back :D
#4. Thursday: E-Learning Part 3 Cleared the rest of the subjects (including Maths! I forgot about it!). Except GP. :(
#5. Friday: Maths Olympiad Training + Gym + Band + Flash Mob! Today like got lots of stuff! First off to AJ to get the Maths Olympiad "engine" running then to the gym where I found the equipment that I so missed back in BP :D (LOL!) Then to BP to see my band juniors before zipping off to CWP for a flash mob!
Now that I have used the gym and identified my "friends" there, now I got to plan: Which free periods can I use for gym training?
