Weekend ala SMU

What a day, what a weekend.

Earlier i went to Singapore Poly to do some in depth interview with 3 other grp mates for our Marketing Research Project. We wanted to find out more about the teens on their perception and behavior on reading magazine and LIME especially. After which i headed to school to meet 2 other frds for some meeting for SMRT Emotive Brand Competition. Tried to figure out how to reduce the size of the Floorball pics to attach to the pics. Spent more than an hour but didnt manage to reduce the three pics to below 400kb. Headed home, someone insisted on walking me to the bus stop. in the end i walked with her back. QUestions were raised. Haha.. so funny. Shhh.. Reached home, caught Singapore Idol!! yay!! hehe.

Called abt 20 plus floorball people to confirm their attendance for Phase Off. Will call more tommorrow. Really looking forward for the event at Sentosa!! yay!!

Need to sleep soon. Having a bad flu and my head feels kinda heavy. Tuition at noon tommorrow at Yishun and a meeting at Tiong Bahru Mac for NPD at 530pm!! SIgh.. I sure hope our group will manage to think of some idea that is interesting enough and that prof would agree.

Nites!

Jaded?

I think i might be getting Jaded and all..

Am thinking of taking off some of the responsiilities that i have taken in the clubs in SMU. I think i might be getting tired of them. Am i?

I think its due to my lost flute, my grwoing financial commitments especially.

SO many things happening..

Argghh..

I shall remain optimistic despite everything. (despite my bad cold!)

Fuzz

Should i sleep tonight?

Should i sleep tonight? Even for 2 hours?

I don't think i should or could! I have a group assignment to compile, a case study to do, some readings to be done. and? okie thank god that's all-for now that is! haha.

Anyway, i think i need caffeine! (is this how it is spelt?? or am i too boinked out??)i dun really believe in it but neverhteless i need something to keep myself awake- Argghhh!!! So i think COke or Vanilla Coke will do!!! ~ hmmmm yum YUM!! Hehe.

It has been a tiring, long but fufiling past 2 days for me with the last match of the IIVP which ended yesterday (Tuesday i mean) and also the 6th Singapore Advertising Congress. This event is, by the way, way COOL!!!! I learnt a lot from it. Seen so many memorable advertisements. Laughed, envied, and even cried at some of them! Haha.. Not to mention i could so use those case studies for my future Advertising course in SMU which i so look forward to attend!!!!!! ANd also importantly for my Strategic Brand Management Class which i am so behind- in participation that is! God bless IAS for giving me the complimentary ticket which would have otherwise cost $1,250 or half of that for members or $150 for IAS students like myself. I felt so grateful and lucky to be one of the 7 or 8 that have gotten the tickets! for both days. (Hmmm... i will definitely write a thank you letter to them! hehe.

i think i REALLY need to go to 7 eleven for V Coke! (btw, fyi, i dun get why CHeers decided to open another outlet in JWest 2 doors away from beloved 7 eleven... i'm boycotting nevertheless.. hehe)

TIll later...

I still love SMUFloorball...

To the school team i made it,
though i am not skilled nor fit.
Elated am i in representing SMU,
to be part of the 23 of me and you.

We beat Republic and Temasek Poly,
and DREW with NTU- our enemy??
Got to the semis but lost to NYP,
Fighting for the 3rd witrh ITE.

A game full of passion, fought so hard,
I cheered and 'sang' like a possesed bard,
Though i didn't play i supported loud,
If there was a riot police would i be sent out.

We were down one nil when the first period ended,
We din give up cause so much we wanted
our first medal that we passionately deserve
for our camarediere and love in and out of e turf.

We fought even harder in 2nd the period,
Both teams fought fiercely like how Kurt,
Like how Kurt Cobain sang his heart out,
Much shots against us but we remained loud

We drew by the end of the second,
and soon we were up 3-1 and the win we can!
ITE were skilled and their shots abundant
lest at the end of third our spirits were dent.

Our future lies on our fate- misnomer you say?
But truly it lies on luck and skill of the takers
Deep in my heart i know that luck we have but skill may
May we find it wanting, in my heart i say.

Alas.. we haven't..we didnt. we couldnt- alas
At the end of it we didnt get what we so lust

Although we haven't, we didn't, we could not
Although i didn't get to play- but i did as much as i thought.
SMUFloorball is a club i would still love to be part of,
After all, we are a family, a family, a family.

The dissapointment we will forget fast,
but the passion and memories will be there and last.

P.s i have to quote kai: "we WON eventhough we have lost (the match)"
P.s.s badly written poem cause not much editing/change was done.

A sleepy morning...

(I am extremely sleepy right now so i will be very brief)

Slept at 3am yesterday. Woke up. Failed to read up case studies on the way to school in bus 157. Slept through journey. Alighted. Decided* to skip Strategic Brand Management Class (despite being rather on time!) I am too tired & sleepy anyway. Solitude therapy. Went for nasi lemak at Evans. Went to Raffles Bldg and got a room all for me. Took a nap, seated, with head on table. Decided to clear e-mails after a couple of rejuvenating naps.

Printed MR proposal. Went for Marketing Research Class. Left at 6pm for bus to NTU. Supported in the stands. SMU lost to NYP: 2-1. Rather dissapointed initially. But got over it. Look forward for tmrw where both guys and girls will play for 3rd and 4th placings. Girls' NYP and Guy's ITE are rather strong teams with better individual players. So i will definitely be contented regardless of the result. (HELLO?~ we beat NTU and the rest of the other 5 teams despite not having proper coaches and training facilities- THAT's an ACHIEVEMENT!)

Am turning in now. Look forward for the Ad Congress tommorrow and also the flute quartet! Yay!

Nites.

Love,
FUzz
*i actually can't believe that i skipped John Davis' class! He is a damn good prof and facilitates discussion very well! My vote for the Epitome of an SMU Prof Hall of Fame! hehe (the other would be Hwang Soo CHiat who taught Management Accounting in my first term in SMU!)

My new bad habit

This is bad. I am increasingly hooked on to the net till after 3am. This has already casued me to miss my BP make up class, my NPD class, and my Floorball training! I should really curb this habit man.

Anyways, went to watch the IIVP matches at NTU earlier today. Thought the penalty shootout of NYP against NTU was way kool. NTU had great penalty takers and emerged victorious in the end with a total score of 5-2 (2-2 at end of 3rd period).

Later on, i had my first experienced with a "special" type of entertainer. We went to Sam's apartment and like paid a total of $180 for it. Quite interesting and definitely an eye opener! Haha. I was almost at the hot seat- saved by HJ, actually Victor eventually. Funny, embarassing but truly MEMORABLE!

Ask me personally if you want to know what it is yeah? Hehe. ;)

As for my bad habit, i am going to sleep now: have a project meeting tmrw at 9am! Sunday morning!

El Camino Real- A Latin Fantasy

OH MY GOD!!

I can't believe it, finally, after longing so much, i finally am in a Band that plays El Camino Real!! Yay!!!!!!!!

Superb Band Piece. I hope Symphonia really plays this for our concert next Feb. Though I would definitely need more than A LOT of work to practice those running notes, i think i am VERY motivated to do so: to fufil my dreams!!!

Haiz.. Hmmm.. THe air really smells good despite being in the red! hehe!

Let the Music Heal our Souls.

Life is Better than you think it is

Aaaah.. What a day. Things really turn out better than i'd expected it to be. :o)

I feel like a load has been lifted as i finally mustered enough courage to tell Sebs about my flute. Apparently, he wasn't even furious as i thought he would be. Well, i think if i was the president and taking into account of how new the flute is- less than a year, i would have every right to be mad right? He said he was more SHOCKED because my Sankyo flute is very much more expensive then the Yamaha that we have.. i am shocked too man: he told me its supposed to cost abput $5,500!! OUCH rite?? Hmm.. what to do.. It is my fault. Watever it is, i am glad that he took it quite well. The log officer called me later and i was pleasantly surpised that she sounded quite calm and not the least irritated. Phew~

Well, with that temporarily settled, i was all geared up for the the match against Republic Poly- though i kinda feel a lil bit feverish after finding out that it is 5k.

So i played. and i played! Yay! i think i actually played like ten times more than i did collectively in the past 3 matches! I feel extremely happy, contended, fufilled! Yay! I think this happiness can last me till i graduate! Haha! (i think i am rather easily pleased or just very low expectations) Kudos to ALL in the floorball family for giving me a chance to play more! I really appreciate the words of encouragemnt, and each act of kindness! Sob sob! ;) SMU Floorball CLub Rocks! Anyway, i think i'm don't wanna/shouldn't be fielded for the next two matches cause the others REALLY deserve their place. Anyway, I AM already contended for playing a lot today. I will use my better talent of CHEERING from the sides! hehe.

Good luck Peeps!

Floorball & Butterflies?

I have butterflies in my stomach for 2 reasons.

First of all, i am anxious of Sebs reaction to my lost flute. I will definitely have to break the news of my caerelessness to Sebs today cause tommorrow will just be too late. And i won't want him to think that i take this matter lightly and only to inform him one week after the incident!

As for the other, which IS the primary reason: that i think i am going to play more during the game against Republic Poly for Floorball IIVP later tonite! Well, i kinda have mixed feelings about it cause on on hand i am all excited to be able to play more, but on the other i am slightly if not very anxious as i really have not been playing for the previous matches. I really pray that if ever we concede any, it is not due to my mistake. Come to think of it i really haven't been letting pass much goals during matches actually- but mainly due to the fact i am not fielded that much. Haha.

Well, i am now deciding whehter it would be better to inform Sebs ASAP before my match or after. If he doesn't take the news well, then i am not sure how it will affect my concentration later on. On the other hand, if i tell him now and get it over and done with, perhaps i can play with a peaceful mind?

Urgh. I am not sure about any of you, but i just hate it when i need to go to the toilet whenever i am nervous or anxious! Gotta go now! Hehe.

Symphony of Life: The Plunge of the Roller Coaster Ride

Oh dear, me and my careless self again!

Guess what?! I lost it! No. No, i am not referring to my virginity of course! Haha. what the heck! i forgot all about my flute when i alighted from my bus! This is so sad, how am i going to come up with that much sum of money to repay the school? Actually right now, i am more concerned about how my fello flautist would feel, especially Sebs! I wouldn't blame him if he blew up and sack me right there after i convey this really bad piece of news to him..

Well, i guess life REALLY has its ups and downs. Its just that for me, the ride that i am in is way to sudden a change!

Can u imagine how perfect the day would if i would have been more vigilant in securing my flute closely to myself? Maybe it would not have happen if i didn't had that big decorative item, which i used for the Wedding Performance in school for International Relations Day, to carry. Well, shit happens i guess.

Anyway, why i say my day would have been perfect? Hmm.. First, the Kompang and the Wedding Performance went well and i had so much satisfaction from it: all our hard work in practising for the event paid off, and of course my signature enthusiasm in trying to make it over the top! - imagine a wedding dias (pelamin) complete with 4 bungga mangga carriers, best man, a beautician (Mak Andam), a fanner, a silat artist, bride and groom AND 15 kompang musicians!! Not to mention the flower arrangement at the sides and also the traditional "renjis-renjis" items! Way cool! I like!

Yeah and secondly during band practice, we sight read a piece that so struck a chord with my heartstrings- Curtains Up! This piece goes way back in secondary school and it really have much nostalgic significance to me. It reminded me of the time when i so idolized the Yuhua Concert Band and how i wished to be part of them. It brings so much happy memories! It reminded me of the gem of a cd that they recorded back then for the schools 10th annivesary- and includes all the other favourite pieces of mine like Something, Jungle Fantasy, Macarena, Story of Demis Roussos and many more! Oh, how can i forget- Children of Sanchez!!! sigh.. :o)

What the heck, luckily i AM optimistic hence i will take this loss of about $3000 as an expensive but important lesson for me! Yeah, meanwhile, i am keeping my fingers crossed that some kind soul will decide to turn it in OR that Sebs won't kill me! Hehe. I look forward for the ride to lift my spirits up again- when my roller coaster ride go upwards, again!

Hold Tight.
