Hey guys, it's been long.

http://danny-here.blogspot.com/

i need a hiatus.

bye

something just got me thinking.

if i took the amount of time i spent stoning in front of the computer, okay, just half the amount (one must have time to sit back and 'stare into the fireplace' that is, at the computer, in modern terms), and used it to do something constructive, the things i can do.

anyway, was at compass point in the aftn to grab a bite when this prudential lady stopped me for a 'survey'... which i found out after 20min of her talking to me that it really was about getting me to sign up for some savings plan. though she didnt exactly succeed in selling her plan, i have to admit, she is one helluva speaker, so much so i actually felt so bad during the conversation everytime i wanted to tell her i'm really not into any savings plan at the moment..

which, is rare, cause i usually spout my mind, especially when it involves matters of the stomach. (i was hungry, so...)

-

right, going to sleep early for a change tonight.

SS

it's been busy.

a few concerts coming up, activities @ work are increasing, say goodbye to random offs that may go up in flames soon.. :(

this week was kinda crazy. went out with edwin and dwayne after tuition on tues, went to clementi for reh on wed, another reh today at bukittimah, work upcoming at cch on sat morning and reh in the aft at bukittimah, anddddd aft reh at clementi on sunday.

yes. i know... but no i will not proclaim myself a band( or whatever) geek of any kind.

in other news, i feel that i seriously have been lagging on my practicing. marimba technique is finally back on track to pre alvls standard, before i chucked my mallets for books. though 2months was a tad long for getting back to that standard..

must really resolve to working even harder.

and i prolly am gonna go read up on playing the kompang since i'm likely to be playing that for the 2 overseas trips. i'm not complaning cause it's gonna be the lightest instrument among everybody :) ok i'm ignoring the piccolo, that's simply obscene by mass standards..

might as well right, since i should prolly aim to play as well as i could, which is near zilch at the moment as i have absolutely zero knowledge of the kompang 2 days ago before the first reading of the piece. oh after which i gained some knowledge about it after a 2 min crash course of kompang playing by fi and zi

ah well, must remind myself to look it up tonight.

and, i ought to go back to working on instrumental techniques as well instead of just focusing on mallets...

anyhow, i wonder how's everybody doing. those girls in university, needless to say, the guys are in army, which, obviously, there isnt muchhhh to say... so yeah.

oh yes. it's my student's SS prelim tmr. (my title was actually a reminder for me about this at the end of the post lol)

hope he does well. i had a shock of my life when i read the most recent essay i made him do as a timed practice. please do NOT write like that tmr..

(that saying, i think he'll prolly do well tmr. haha)

lucky one way.

came back from reh.

very. very tired.

okay maybe i should just update another time.

i'm perpetually tired it's so frustrating.

bah.

ridan

i'm tired. again.

Lava Rock Blk 681.

another little gem unearthed via the recommendation of my parents.

went there for dinner today with them. if i wasnt so tired i'd be jumping up and down in joy at the whole experience.

it's like a small restaurant/bistro yet located as a stall in a simple heartlander coffeeshop.

awesome.

and i was wondering why one of the owners looked so familiar.

then i remembered that he was one of those regulars at the gym i frequent. such a freaking small world. (okay then again maybe not cause Singapore's like really small. and the place is at hougang... and it's hougang gym... so yeah....)

in other news, i was struggling to keep awake during rehearsal.

tired!

shall sleep early tonight

vice

ah tired.

3hour nap before heading down to kent ridge for reh.

i cant believe it's monday tmr already.

bro's coming home in a week. hope i can make it for lunch tmr with rq. she's flying off tmr night so it'd prolly be darn long before i can meet up with her.

till then

(On a sidenote: Wii is fun. )

back from hq.

sufficiently boring -_-

but at least there's good company of a senior i can chit chat with. seriously made doing duty so much easier.

praise be the management to think of putting 2 people in the hq. hahahah. well, that and the fact that white house is pretty creepy at night...

"eh siala, the far end the window is freaking dark can, the trees....

"eh shut up"

LOL


anyhow, shall catch some z's before banda chalet.

aight

Spark

another day at home before YO rehearsal at night and booking in to stayin for tmr's HQBO.

oh, my plans to go hongkong are prolly cancelled... so are any chances of trying to clear my annual leave in a block amount to go overseas.. damnit.

ah well, i guess there's always a price to pay for anything.


I need that something, to spark myself off once more, as it has always been, to keep up the practicing. ahhhh....

i need to occupy myself with things to do. argh.

abandoned plans to go swim after spending half an hour trying to find my googles.

spent the next hour tidying up my table to a somewhat more presentable state, which is really still rather messy, but an improvement.. i guess...

right, back to completing the (yes i know i'm very slow) episodes of glee.

i cant believe i got past the auditions ! awesomeness.

the past few days have been. wow.

each moment special as it is

a new week begins. packed packed packed!!!

Perc lessons, tuition, y o rehearsal and finally HQBO duty on friday.

oh, followed by homecoming, baybeats and nu.s.so reh

-

a very long pause cause the writer was stoning on this page for an extremly long time, among multi tasking fb, his planner, and msn.


-

anyway i'm suddenly feeling very very sian-ed now.

yes i know, it's a feeling that is extremly difficult to describe in english terms. just the feeling of so many things to do, think and stuff. aiya. i need some stress relieving activities. i.e. dota.

alright. dinner then dota. there.

i'm still feeling very _________.

argh. someone put that feeling into words please.

till then.

/edit/

hmm is angsty the right word?... ok i dont know. dammit. angsty sounds too.. angry.. yeaa...

nahh not angsty...

alright back to the drawing board.

(i'm seriously getting worse at putting feelings/thoughts to words...)

i shall hit the gym with jerry in an hours time.

such a dedicated and committed soul. ahhhh.

:)

anyway, i'm foreseeing a very packed week coming up ahead..

dont you just hate days where there is absolutely nothing planned at all, and days that are so freaking packed it's insane?

usually it's the latter thats really crazy.

the ones with nothing planned are fine, if kept at minimum.. i got a tad bored yesterday just spending an Afternoon at home...

and i absolutely refuse to believe it's the failure of my planner (which, i made myself out of recycled graph paper and cardboard backing i'm so proud of it :)))))) ). without my planner i wouldnt even remember about all this stuff till about a day before the event...

right.

anyway, Nu s SO here i come! (travelling to kent ridge is gonna be a bitch though.)

reminder to self to arrange to meet Fee for my scores as well as arrange to meet xh for his scores....

alright. i'd better go get changed or i'll be late again.
