Due to unforeseen circumstances, this blog has been neglected for quite awhile. To all my readers, sorry for the lack of updates.

School has been crazy these days. With tests every week and deadlines to meet, I wonder how did I even manage to last till now.

'O' levels and 'A' levels are finally over/ending! Which means, I've got more people to rot with. And the regular rot-spot is back in business. Yay. This might mean that there are more people to find for movie action or any activities. But from what I'm experiencing these few days, everyone seems to be just as busy as before. Even finding someone to go out for a movie at Junction 8 is tough.

My computer programming miniproject is finally completed! Should have done an easier topic instead of the one I'm doing now. It's seriously hell to look for a small mistake in 600++ lines. But after 1 week of searching, it's finally done! Yay.

Okay, I'm off to revise maths. Zzz. Till the next update. Ciao!

Having AutoCAD lesson now. So boring. Nothing much to do.

Rondeau XXI is finally over. Can't say that it was an exciting experience, but playing in VCH definitely brought back memories of the Xinfony series. Especially Xinfony VI. My last concert with Xinmin.

Anyway, it was not a sell out concert but the turn out was quite surprising. Most of the seats were taken and although the audience was quite dead, they still managed to make the concert look less pathetic. Much better than playing to an empty hall. Recordings of the concert is out already I think.

Oh, I finally bought all my books for this sem. After 4 weeks into sem 2. Finally. And the last book, AMP is super heavy. It's like lugging a rock to school. Gah.

Finally had some sleep.

I'm like totally screwed. Lessons start early in the morning on Mon, Tues and Wed. My parents are abroad. And I wonder how on Earth would I actually manage to wake up in time for school.

I just started watching Death Note anime on youtube.com. Quite a nice anime. I can't wait for the 2nd movie to be released! Oh man. Cheers to the creator of Death Note. You're a genius.

Okay. Finally I'm posting up something. It's been a rough time for me these few days.

NPCB is giving me a hell of a time. Danza Sinfonica is like totally fucked up. (Not that I like to use vulgarities.) Individually, I have rhythm problems all over the place and an articulation poroblem. Can't seem to tongue fast enough. As a section, the other members can't play their parts and they just seem to fuck care about everything. (Sorry again.) I'm seriously traumatised by the noise that the section is producing. Argh. I'm going insane.

Went out with Qing Huang, Eddie and Melissa to catch Death Note last night. After that, we had an expedition from Vivo City to Marina Square. On foot. And we lasted till dawn before we all went home. I went home, bathed and left for school.
Sorry if I seemed moody during the outing. I just had to think about some things. And I still haven sorted it out yet. Sigh.

I'm like super tired now. Feel like taking a very long break from everything. Maybe a decade long hibernation period?

A butterfly in the cocoon struggles with all its might to break through the obstacle that is placed in its way. There is no other easy way out. So should we learn from it. Fighting with all our might and surviving through all ordeals.

Yesterday was a dark day for many. I received news that some of my ex-classmates have retained. And I feel the pain for them for many were my good friends. I still can't believe that they are going to retain. But the strength that they have shown was amazing. If it were me, I think I'll already be at home gaming away. OOPS.

Anyway, I finally got about washing my trumpet today. I removed the handguard and was dismayed by the tarnish of the valve casings. Going ahead with the washing, I tarried for about an hour and was finally done. And my trumpet is now sparkling clean! Save the scratches and the tarnish marks and some stubborn stains. However, my slides aren't as smooth as it used to feel.

Time that has past does not return. A man that has aged cannot regain his youth. The passing of time is natural, so is that of the passing of life.
I watched today as the world went on about me. The flurry of people about me rushing to different places. The endless flow of traffic that never ceases. The workers at a construction site working ever so slowly.

And I started thinking again. Of topics so random that I have absolutely no idea on how to include it in this post. Or any other post. Something that always fascinates me is life itself. I always look at strangers and wonder how is their life like. What did they do, how was their childhood like, how were their classmates like. And strangely, I can just sit back in a cafe, enjoy an iced latte and imagine the lives of other people for the whole day.

I was watching CNA just now about the North Korean nuclear tests. Since the 5 nuclear powers of the world can have the privilege of having nuclear technology, why can't other countries have it too? And if the concern was about nuclear weapons, does the Nuclear Weapons States have nuclear weapons?
Anyway, nuclear weapons were born as a result of an arms race between the Americans and Soviets during the cold war. And the USSR has collapsed since then. The world should be taking steps to a total disarmanent of nuclear weapons now. My point is, instead of pressuring just N. Korea to stop any possible nuclear weapons development, all the countries should disarm their nuclear arsenal.

Sigh. I'm not making any sense here. I foresee Man's fall coming soon. Our end will be the day when some idiot decides to nuke another country. And that won't be too far off.

I'm once again walking alone, facing familiar strangers and acting as if I know them. My hands moving on their own, performing familiar tasks that my heart finds foreign.

I'm so tired. Tired of sitting around, wasting my life. Tired of going around, making a fool out of myself. I'm reminded of what Brando once said about me. Something that is really true and makes me find myself irksome now. Sigh. Why do I like to find trouble for myself.. I think somewhere within the next few weeks, I'll just break down and get all disorientated.

I feel so unmotivated. In everything that I am doing now. It's like I suddenly got lost again while attempting to find the path that I should be on. I think sooner or later, I'll just close up in my shell again. Put up another mask to face this world.
