Finally able to find some time to blog my online diary.
I have been extremely busy and stressed up with a lot of things this two weeks. Initially planned to do my project peacefully for my module this week, but due to all the circumstances that have arised, I don't have the time and mood to do it. Save it! Rather than doing a whole lot of rubbish for my project. Will do it later this week.
First of all, ZiSheng Grandpa just pass away last Thurday night and I went to his wake on Sunday. Was rather affected by all the band matters, therefore I look rather lost and not in the mood. He asked me what happen, how's band and stuff and I felt every worst when he asked that. When I reach, his camp majors were there and their topic were so boring, all about army stuff, which are so dry. After they left, then did ZiSheng talk to me. So sad. He seems like don't even dare to talk to me in front of his majors. It's like I'm just sitting there like a fool! Only after they left didhe talk to me. Humpz.
But I was so so so shocked by his family's cousin. ANd you won't be able to imagine how many cousin he have. Suddenly, all came and seat around me to so a "Family Survey" with me. One person ask one question, and their question are so in depth that sometimes make me don't know how to answer. After they ask me all the question, then I realise that this darling of mine really did very little thing for me. I have tried my best to answer to make him save his face more already.
But at least his family people are all very friendly and fun-loving. It's not stress at all gathering with them. Sometimes seeing them (as in their family) so united, I felt so warmth. My family people are rather diversed and we cousins are all not so close, no as close as they are. So whenever I see them so close, I felt so warmth. How I wish I will have more of this type of cousin to cousin bonding and have more gathering session with my own cousin, which will never happen.
The NYPAW had some unhappiness happened and I really have to have my very own crisis management with them. I was made very upset due to the minor things that had actually arised which could be settled within each personal. Maybe it's my luck and I am so glad that everything have already been settled with the people involved. I assured them and the band that this type of things won't happen anymore, and I'll looking into it as far as I am concern.
Now the only thing that I really hope is that the people involved in this matter will make up and leave all hatres behind them.
On Tuesday, met up with Swee Teng, Jac and Karen at Dohby Ghaut for some catch up and planning for Alumni Band. After having our dinner at Cafe Cartel, we headed to Gelare, to have our Ice-Cream Waffles, as all Waffles on Tuesday are half price. But before reaching Gelare, we went to Sportlight. Initially I wanted to buy cross-stitch thread for ZiSheng to help me do the gift for guest players.
After that, we saw some flowers and thought that we could DIY it as a brooch for the ladies in alumni band. Found a nice grey colour flower and there are limited stock. After a long search and after turning the shop upside down, we couls only manage to fins 15 of it, which we have 17 females for the concert. Searched for it for about half an hour there and still we cannot get the full amount. Display piece are no able to take down also as it's under supplier's advertising cost. Therefore, we change the flower to another which is gold in colour. We bought 30 of it, which would be more than enough for all the members of the NYPAW.
After a long search and after getting hurt by all the flowers due to their wire stick, we decided to pamper ourself to a drink at TCC, as Gelare is closed for the day. I had my Apple Citrus Paradise and shared a piece of Oreo Cheesecake, and the Cheesecake was super nice. Haha.
Everytime I have things related to cheese, I'll think of ZiSheng, coz he likes cheese. Sigh. Sometimes, I just can't help thinking of him. Darling, I really miss you a lot wor, but why you always don't care don't bother??

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I last blog.
Many many things happened throughout this two weeks or so, and was busy solving and planning for things, as well as working my life out.
worked at HDB Hub as a telemarketeer for "PropNex", a Real Estate Company for the first week from 7p.m. to 10p.m. as I'm still having my lesson back then. For the second week, I'm working from 1p.m. - 6p.m. as an agent, cobroking with other agent asking for HDB Value for the house they have on hand, how much owner asking for, and what is the condition of the house like. Quited the job past Friday as I find it rather boring in one hand, and also I'm offered another job at my last company "Synovate" as a Data Entry Clerk and Coder.
The job at Synovate will start on Monday, which is tomorrow, from 9.30p.m. to 6p.m. I will have less time for my project and my Alumni Band things already. I have to plan all my time well in order to do everything nicely and also not to tired myself out.
Well, got to earn money for myself as I feel that I should stretch my hands out and take money from my parents all the time, I'm an adult already, should earn for my own use. Another reason is also to save up for my U.S. Academic Trip next year during December which will cost me $4K.
NYP Alumni Band, now named as the NYP Alumni Winds (NYPAW), had their Committee Meeting last Saturday to settle everything about Sinfonia and other Micelleneous stuff. After the Alumni Winds Committee meeting, five of us left behind to meet the NYP Wind Orchestra (NYPWO) Committee members to settle problems.
Was glad that all problems were solve and at the moment, NYPAW and NYPWO have clarified all misunderstandings and unhappiness, and we can live our life peacefully and co-ordinate with each other better. I hope that after the meeting, they will find us as a better people and a bunch of fun to get along alumni members, so that they will not be afraid to approach us to clarify or ask whatever they need to know.
Now, my only worry is my shortage of membership for my NYPAW clarinetist. I desperately need clarinetist for the coming concert on 14th July 2006. If you are a clarinetist and you can commit yourself in practice during Saturday from 3p.m. to 6p.m., and is able to make it on 14th July, please email me at
xiaohei_asirt@hotmail.com. Your help is very important to us.
Another worry will be the confirm people for the concert. I really hope that no one will last minute say they cannot perform, which I always have the feeling that I will not be able to handle the first performance for the NYPAW well.
Anyway, I really have to thank Salleh, my NYPAW Assistant Conductor for his help in consulting and also helping me to solve many problems. Thank you very much. Thank you all my committee members and my section I/C for co-operating.
Hope that everyone life their life happily. I shall stop here till I update my blog again.
