Unsure about the reason. Probably is comparision of the life i use to lead and the one i have now. Army life seems draining for me and booking out is my only sense of incentive now. 7 days per mounting and stuck in the protected place doing my part for my country? Well i miss the freedom i have. I can't deny that i have great friends in this place, but i sure hate those who &lt;em&gt;don't speak intellectually.&lt;/em&gt; Those who just speak what may make them seem popular or seem "impressive" as a matter a fact. Well for all these R.I(retarded idiots) out there i really sincerely hope you will put some brain into your words before letting them out.&lt;br /&gt;I hate the stress, its different from what i experience before. I need a break, i need attention.... Feel pretty bad today, even though today is dismounting day. Why? Today is when freedom returns but why am i feeling this way? i need an answer....&lt;br /&gt;Busy schedule next week, slightly better than the week before but certainly not something i am looking forward to.

The great mates i made here and the many things that we went through together. Knowing that we may not meet up so often after the course is rather disappointing but i guess everything has an end. Still looking forward to my poc of course with ssc night coming right up first.&lt;br /&gt;Always thought that my life won't be as bouncy as others but i guess i was wrong, everyone has their ups and downs at parts of their life. Looking back at these past few years, i think i've seen and went through quite alot of lessons of life. Precious experiences i hope i won't have to go through again. Pain and hurt made me learn...the hard way. I finally learn that you will never know how much certain things means to you until you lose them.

Looking back at the past when i was still in those shorts in school reminded me of the enjoyable moments i had there. Thereafter my graduation day when i was all dressed in the long sleeve shirt. The very hard time when friends were going to part and separate ways at the crossroad. To the photos of when it all started, the first time i sent you home and till the time you said yes and onto my arms. It seems like it has been a long way from where it all began. Now the future seems so muffered, not knowing what will happen and where it will bring. That feeling of being so lost is back, where i really don't know what i should do next. Maybe i should just not be so over sensitive at times and things will turn out better. I guess its just another emo rides i get now and then. Memories mean so much to one...i know but the new beginning is also a journey we should look forward to, leaving some things behind. A's almost here, its going to be a tough journey ahead once more. Only wish for some reassurance that would make me feel better now.

Be it things you that you didn't enjoy or things that you miss deeply now. My shooting experience in innova has come to an end and it has indeed left me with great memories to bring along with me. It all ended on 4th of july after my A division nationals. Might not be a fantastic achievement but i was please with the results, coming in first in the north zone and 7th in the nationals (if i'm not wrong) for the men's rifle. Gave it my best shot with my personal best that day with 549. Its was a joyride for me all the way from the first time i held the rifle till now. Would really go back and continue shooting but my 2nd year in JC ends here. Will still come back to see how is my coach (siew peng) hahas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Still remember the days before the competition, the month before when i rushed up and down for training in school and Cdans. Ya mind you Cdans is at bukit gombak and my location is hougang! Ya can imagine how reluctant i am to go for training. Furthermore with my prelims 1 on the same week. Gosh what a rush and hard month to go by but the memories there were tough but great to keep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HomeTeamNS some CountryClub at Bukit Gombak&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089910906327496722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 374px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 202px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="190" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqL_AHYJeBI/AAAAAAAAAAs/efYsUks7aVE/s320/Cdans+01.jpg" width="374" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The air weapons club there, TOP NOTCH SPORTS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089911554867558434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqL_l3YJeCI/AAAAAAAAAA0/TTnPj7vgFJ0/s320/DSC00024.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah and we train day and night here....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089913865559963698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqMBsXYJeDI/AAAAAAAAAA8/7aC9mqFTRog/s320/DSC00028.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now to show you my &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Second girlfriend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089914449675515970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqMCOXYJeEI/AAAAAAAAABE/k4FSwWZvBY8/s320/DSC00027.JPG" border="0" /&gt; A closer look at her....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqMDvXYJeHI/AAAAAAAAABc/G_hzRH-zXTQ/s1600-h/DSC00025.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089916116122826866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="253" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqMDvXYJeHI/AAAAAAAAABc/G_hzRH-zXTQ/s320/DSC00025.JPG" width="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqMLPHYJeLI/AAAAAAAAAB8/kJRaQI3gJ58/s1600-h/DSC00026.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089924358165067954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RqMLPHYJeLI/AAAAAAAAAB8/kJRaQI3gJ58/s320/DSC00026.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Didn't went through much competitions with her but it was enough memories for me to keep.

With the tight schedule of work and more work, always dily daly-ing i end up having to run in the night. But running in the night is much more cooling with mr sun going to sleep and miss moon to brighten up the night. Hmmm getting abit fairy taleish. okok, but a great idea struck me for a gift after the run tho, quite amazing and weird time to think of such things but at least i solve something. Giving a gift to others is always difficult especially thinking of something that the other party would like. Lucky birthdays comes once a year. hahas just kidding, just remembered i too have such a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RjN9HY-FqiI/AAAAAAAAAAk/5cTIbItMKE4/s1600-h/command+and+conquer+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5058524372382624290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RjN9HY-FqiI/AAAAAAAAAAk/5cTIbItMKE4/s320/command+and+conquer+3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Well well well was looking on the net for command and conquer 3 today after zhi sheng called me in the afternoon asking me about the game. Wow the game was indeed great after playing the demo but sadly the demo was not really working well. But at least i got a little touch on the game. Had been waiting for the game for some time tho, contemplating whether i should get the game. The demo work pretty well on my laptop except for the error report after sometime of playing, other than that is was GREAT! Hmmm but after looking at the minimum requirements of the game again, it still seems that the game might not work out as expected tho. But the thing is that normally if the demo works the real thing shouldn't be a problem. Well well well better not risk it unless i am sure i guess but if anyone of you wanna buy it for me i okay with it hahas just kidding. So addison i think is alrite i don't think the price of the game in hong kong matters now =(&lt;br /&gt;But this could be a good thing, at least i won't spend too much time on the game and get on my work like about now i guess. hahas. But i still HATE chemistry. Organic chemistry really sucks! i believe everyone out there that ever have a taste of it would agree with me. Okay promise &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; to at least study and give it a shot so i shall get back to it now. In the mean time &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; sleep well. The thought of studying chemistry now really sucks big time! i guess music shall acompany me for the night. For those of you out there that don't have to study and are ready to sleep good nights....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-8663008182378660195?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/8663008182378660195/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=8663008182378660195' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/8663008182378660195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/8663008182378660195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-day.html' title='what a day!'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_3BVlQKY9vb0/RjN9HY-FqiI/AAAAAAAAAAk/5cTIbItMKE4/s72-c/command+and+conquer+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-993832966515388562</id><published>2007-04-20T14:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-04-20T14:35:16.580+08:00</updated><title type='text'>bored afternoon</title><content type='html'>Here in school at M1-1 serving the internet, ya how bored can a day get. Waiting for shooting to start, hope it starts soon. School sucks like big time! Everyday is the same routine and is not easy to pass everyday. Spending like 12 hours in school everyday, home just seems like a place to rest only although there are still work to do when i get home. =( Well everything just seems so blurred and confusing. This makes me frustrated tho, well why do i get this feeling, lol can anyone tell me? Really feel that i just makes matter worst, make people even more sad, worried. Now it just seems to be worst, really hope i can make matters bettter. Seriously i'm really tired physically and to come back to this topic over and over again. I really should't go blog reading too often, somethings is best not know.&lt;br /&gt;Gosh when it is ever going to be 3pm soon. Wasting time away, well i think this is a good time to go update my long rusted friendster account and msn. Thinking thinking thinking, thoughts thoughts thoughts. Maybe i'm thinking too much, but can't stop doing so. HAHAs. Ya at least i'm having church back i my life again. Spending that 1 hour in church can sometimes take my mind off things but that only provides me that i can wake up on sunday morning haha. ARRR tired and frustrated! Can time just pass just a little faster for this 20 mins...haha&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-993832966515388562?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/993832966515388562/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=993832966515388562' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/993832966515388562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/993832966515388562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2007/04/bored-afternoon.html' title='bored afternoon'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-3726054056522548896</id><published>2007-03-23T20:42:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-23T21:12:53.116+08:00</updated><title type='text'>i don't know</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Well exams are finally over. Really able breathe the air now, the stress was just so tighly choking me down. Finally there's time to do things that i want to do. Does the school have a little sympathy to at least have a short break for us. Is really draining after long nights of mugging and there's hardly anytime for any other things (rest). Well since is over might as well just have a break. Getting to hate school i think. Shooting seems rather hopless i guess. Sometimes i just try so hard to do something but i just don't seem to do it well anyway. It really makes me wonder if i'm doing the right thing. Everything just seems to hopeless to me now, i just can't get anything right. Something seems to be bordering me right now but i just can't figure what wrong (can't anyone just tell me please). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Feeling rather moody today and lately i guess. Maybe i'm just thinking too much at times, making me so depressed. haha here i go again. But sometimes is just hard not to think, people wonder people think. i'm searching for answer to something that seems to unclear to me now. But i really wonder if i should look for it because i somehow just feel i already have the answer in me all along but i just don't want to face it or when i know the answer i just have doubts about it. haha this feeling just sucks! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;This moody feeling really makes me feel so down and i think that you would understand me but maybe this is not always the case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Sometimes or should i say most of the times things just don't work out the way you think it should. This feeling still lingers in me or is back i guess-feeling uncertain and unsure. The ironic thing is that i know what my heart wants but my mind just doesn't think the same way. Mind over heart, hear over mind. &lt;em&gt;i really don't know&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Yup should stop all these no use thinking and talk, shall just listen to music and let the mind rest! haha ya indeed &lt;em&gt;without music, life is a mistake&lt;/em&gt;.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-3726054056522548896?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/3726054056522548896/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=3726054056522548896' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/3726054056522548896'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/3726054056522548896'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-dont-know.html' title='i don&apos;t know'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-117379645459835227</id><published>2007-03-13T22:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-03-13T23:42:50.880+08:00</updated><title type='text'>life?</title><content type='html'>Its been so long since i blog, till the extent that i forgot my user. Well got it through anyway. People ask me why my blog had held stagnant for so long, the answer is simple-school. Its been busy busy busy so far now. The timetable seems so unreasonable and demanding, what's left in a student after a 8-9hrs of school life and expecting to study after that. 2007 is already one quarter spent and so many things that had happened. People step in and others leave. Some left a mark while others a new beginning. Sometimes i just can't believe its only been 3 months since the new year. Block test is next week and i'm still light-years away from being prepared for it. Stressed out but i know there's more to do. Can't say is not all that bad, good times were there and i enjoyed them well. Bad times were there and i got through too. So i've accomplished much i should say, and well there's more to go. Guess i just need sometime off and to think about. It really made me think real hard what i really want in life. The answer seems so clear at times but it also seems so blurred and uncertain everytime i come close. Things i hear and see makes me feel even more uncertain about what i'm doing and myself. I ask myself why do i feel this way but the more i pursue the more broken i feel. I know what i want but i just don't have the confidence to look forward and grab hold of it tight. Assumptions and doubts. I guess is just not as simple as it seems and often easlier said than done for &lt;em&gt;everyone. &lt;/em&gt;Time is the right cure to this i hope but its something i got to figure out myself. What the future holds is still unsure, but the &lt;em&gt;future i hope for&lt;/em&gt; still stands. Well the way to find out is to move on. Yup i think is time to move on and for me to head back to my books.

Gosh now in the weekends with tons of work to complete. Well all on all is still a great start for the new year i suppose. Going out seem like the only way to destress now. Seriously, i am not in the mood to study now but i am forcing myself to. At least i would still complete all my assignments on time (like i always do).&lt;br /&gt;Parting with my classmates seems to be the biggest setback i have now (for now) for 2007. Many things had happened during the school holidays with them and with myself but is all a new year ahead with lots to come soon. Now my greatest wish is none other then......yup shall not disclosed it here hehe. My blog song really speaks how i feel now. Bus ride was memorable today will remember it forever. Thanks for everything, i am prepared for anything now i guess but really hope things would work out, give it a chance. =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116800998337678875?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116800998337678875/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116800998337678875' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116800998337678875'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116800998337678875'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2007/01/school-starts.html' title='school starts'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116767107022467637</id><published>2007-01-02T00:13:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-02T04:13:22.836+08:00</updated><title type='text'>happy new year</title><content type='html'>This post was delayed by i think you could say is my laziness. Well yesterday (new year's eve) went out for countdown so to speak for the new year 2007! Yeeepeee! Was hesitating in the afternoon whether to go because it was rather disorganized-people not confirming if they can make it-not replying to messages. Yup but went in the end and headed to the esplanade-on the bridge. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/953849/DSC00071.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/350372/DSC00071.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather crowded there but it wasn't as bad that i expected thinking that it was new year's countdown. Thinking that we probabaly might not be able to get 'good' place to see the fireworks later we walk and walk. Met up with the rest of the group having gotten lost half way. Met up and it started to rain! Weee! Couldn't say we didn't see it coming but didn't really expected it to happen. Well first reaction is to head in for shelter, so we did. Walk walk walk.....reach someplace nearby suppose to be a shelter for all but it was already packed (can imagine how smaal the place is). Standing near that area is as good as standing at any open area. So we decided to just head back to the bridge and just stand in th rain...hehe. The feeling was kind of nice but when you want to start using your phone to msg, the trouble comes in. Was msging and drops of water start falling on the screen then the keypad. Haha why am i saying this now....weird me...ok then as i was saying, there should be 4 fireworks going off that night: 10, 11, 1130 and 12mn. We arrived at 10+ so sadly had to miss the first one. We were just hanging around the till 11 with high expectations having missed the one already. Ya you know what, ya is merely shot a 20 second of fireworks which we thought it was a mistaken but we were sure it wasn't because at 11.30 the same thing happened. Feeling rather disappointed already but we waited on having friends to talk to, time passed quickly.&lt;br /&gt;Finally the spotlight shone on the waters and the host started to speak we knew it was going to start. Seriously, i couldn't use words to present what i saw that night because it was really fantastic. You really had to be there and watched it with your eyes (not your video cams). It was even better than the national day one. Well and thats also what i mean by which they didn;t countdown-having the fireworks at 12.01.&lt;br /&gt;After the fireworks, most of us were already planning to eat. Lao pa sa was just round the corner, obviously we headed there. To think that so many people came for the fireworks, i thought that la pa sa would be packed too thinking that most singaporeans would go for supper after that. It wasn't that crowded thinking that 12 people could find seats in 5mins time. Didn't know what to eat at that time but seeing people eating wanton noodles ate that too. Wanted to take a photo of the food but i guess i was to hungry and forgotten. But i managed to take a picture of the dessert. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/326193/DSC00155.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/327326/DSC00155.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice right, hehe. We were planning to take the train if it was still available at that hour but by the time we finished, we saw the sign saying 5mins so ran into the station but the entrance was closed (for some reason we don't know). Headed out of the station and decided to take a cab instead. Took group pictures before leaving as always.&lt;br /&gt;After that we went on to the streets flagging desperately for cabs. After sometime and partly seeing the people waiting fo cab too, we decided to go in search for NR6 home. Walk and walk on the streets looking at the bus-stops. Was feeling hopeless so took some "street photos". &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/419241/DSC00157.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/630455/DSC00157.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empty streets. &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/352803/DSC00159.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/139789/DSC00159.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Not so empty streets...hehe.&lt;br /&gt;Well we walked and walked and walked until it was 2.30am in the morning when we finally found the NR6 bus stop but the people waiting there was ridiculously many. We went to get drinks hoping that the people there would be any better (in terms of size). Finally after some time, about3am we decided to take a free shuttle out of that area then take a cab from somewhere else. Aljunied was the place because it was rather near to hougang and we would probably reach home faster than waiting for the shuttle that goes to hougang. Yes we got a cab at about 3.30am and was on the way home. Reached home at about 4am in the morning, taking the morning newspaper in on my way to the front doors.The next morning i was meeting my cousin for lan marathon at 12noon, sleeping at 4.3oam in the morning, you can feel how bad was it. Was already half awake while playing but still manage to get through. Was enjoyable after all but i am still T-I-R-E-D. Finished death note today too for tomorrow am catching the second part, so looking forward to tomorrow and i will dress nice. Yup so i should end off here because for tomorrow's movies and meeting at 11am seems rather impossible now but i will be there on time, now 4am again and a very good morning to all out there.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116767107022467637?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116767107022467637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116767107022467637' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116767107022467637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116767107022467637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2007/01/happy-new-year.html' title='happy new year'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116731386866565033</id><published>2006-12-28T21:33:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-28T23:50:19.496+08:00</updated><title type='text'>broke and broken</title><content type='html'>Today was suppose to be a happy day for me but seems like now everything seems so messed up, topping it up with the stupid internet connection error. Feeling to emo right now but still felt that i should write (type) it out. Anyway i just got a letter regarding the new posting of my 2007 class. It started when friends started asking my posting online. Was quite sure that i was going to J where most of them were going to. But after sometime i realized that there was one that went to H. SAD! Soon i found out that i was going to H as well. The thing that i was fcuking pissed off is that the letter actually wrote "We are concerned that you might be upset with the change, so we have ensured that most of your current classmates will also be in the same class with you." Ya why must you make some empty promises. Bringing your hopes so high and drop you, the disappointment was worst. Maybe i haven't check with everyone in class but honesty there ain't much people left in class that i can consider. What i can tell myself now is that this is going to happen anyway so just enjoy the last days of the holidays. Only hope i could speak to someone now.... ok never mind, sad things put it aside now to today. Went shopping today, actually made up my mind to get a bag only but who knows bought shoes too! Ya went to orchard with may and her sis and her friend jocelyn (sorry if i spell it wrong) as well. Was a hard time having a war-time with may at the colors of the bag when she felt that the color suited me better and the salesperson also agreed with her. I liked that color as well was deciding between that and the one i choose. Since both agreed that it suited me better so got that color in the end. After the bag, went on walking at far east to look for my shoes apparently (only planned to look around hehe). So boy, i bought a adidas shoes as well after refunding the adicolors. Here's a look at it.....&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/634440/DSC00151.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/256886/DSC00151.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still liked it no matter how i looked at it, but someone just can't stop criticizing it ar (kidding). Hope when school starts the nagging about my shoes would be lesser hehe. Wouldn't say how much i spent but i am rather broke right now. Not that i have no money for other things but to save up and replaced what i spent now. Ate at pastamania for lunch even after buying the bags because the two ladies wanted to eat. Then ate pepper lunch for dinner. Wow to think that I am saying that i am broke hehe. Ya after buying my stuffs is walking and walking and walking to buy girl's stuff. Wasn't really surprised that i was going to walk around with them for some time (more than some). Ya that's probably the first time walking around and buying their stuffs. Kind of an experience for me ya. The legs wasn't tired but was the mind and eyes actually (sleeping late the night before). Was glad that i went out today had fun and bought stuffs, happy that I bought them. So ya thank you for asking me to join you guys today.&lt;br /&gt;School gonna start soon and the new class i will be joining. Still quite troubled by this new class thing but telling myself to not think seems impossible. Really hope that the class could had stayed together. This way of doing things by the school is real DUMB! Didn't really had any opinion about the school before ya but i really dislike the way they are doing things, sorry if i sound real immature this is how i feel, can't help it......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116731386866565033?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116731386866565033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116731386866565033' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116731386866565033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116731386866565033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/broke-and-broken.html' title='broke and broken'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116704693876001686</id><published>2006-12-25T18:59:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-25T20:20:29.376+08:00</updated><title type='text'>a different christmas</title><content type='html'>Yup this year could be said to be a little different than past years. Well normally christmas eve is spent with my family for midnight mass at 12mn (like duh). Well spent it with my cousins this years in a bit differently. Hehe not going to go into it but ya it was fun. Spent the night searching for food at 1am in the morning...lol! But there wasn't much to choose from at that time of the day. Walking the streets at katong area in search for food. We knew that there would definitely be food at gelyang but we also know that it would be very crowded at that time. So we gave up and decided to head back to the mac's at my cousin's place. As we were on the cab back the cab driver was saying that there might be one some sort food place we could try near that area. Yup we went there and indeed there was still a small shop that was air-conditioned (surprisingly). Althought i was not very hungry at that time but still ate, felt quite filling after supper at about 2am. Walked back to my cousin's place shortly.&lt;br /&gt;Was ps2 time when the four of us played till about 4.30am, barely trying hard to stay awake, i lay on the sofa and found a comfy spot. Althought i lay on the sofa at 4.30am i think i only managed to fall asleep at 5am. Wow making that only about 3 and a half hours of sleep. Ya you can imagine that feeling in the morning ya.&lt;br /&gt;Headed to my grandma's place as always yearly. It was about 12 when we left (was suppose tto leave at 11- 11.30), so only reached at 1pm. Thinking that we were quite late already, there wasn't many people around. Well its lunch time!&lt;br /&gt;This was the christmas at my grandma's place....&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/138823/Christmas%20tree%20nai%20nai%20hse%202006.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/26127/Christmas%20tree%20nai%20nai%20hse%202006.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After lunch, it was mahjong time! Haven played for quite some time with them (about 1mth ago with my friends) but ya that was probably the thing that we always do after lunch at this time of the year....hehe. But it took us about one hour just to complete one round (one wind)...like wth. We struggled to complete that one round then change to card games. This time with money involved! Don't know if you heard of "in between" but is a card game that requires you to bet if you are able to get a card number in between the two values shown. Well must show it to you to really understand. Hehe...but it was fun and i sure did win quite abit. Nice! Ya by then everyone that was on the table is leaving so the game had to come to a stop (sadly). Mom wanted to left soon too (according to her) but after some time seeing her still on the mahjong table with my grandma and aunties i knew it was not going to be over soon.&lt;br /&gt;Walked around the house and outside, the scenery was great so was the weather (with cool wind blowing).... &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/752582/Nai%20nai%20Hse%20scenery%2002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/297713/Nai%20nai%20Hse%20scenery%2002.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice rite, but it would be so much better if you were there feeling the wind together.&lt;br /&gt;Another one....&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/478037/Nai%20nai%20Hse%20scenery%2001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/867617/Nai%20nai%20Hse%20scenery%2001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;After pictures, knowing that my mom won't be done so soon, i decided to head home first (so tired already). Dropped my cousin at his place then headed home. Took a bathe, had dinner and doing this entry but still my mos aren't back. So lucky i managed to not waste precious time there and do this entry.Christmas is over and the new year is also coming, just that and i finished one year of jc life. So many things had happened and learnt so much this year. People had been through my life and left a mark, this marks would be memories i guess we will keep for as long as we will live. Would't said i regretted anything much this year but would say that if only time could go back. Yesterday showed me that some things in life are just complicated and often not within our control. If so why don't we just be complacent with what we have now and cherished them, for what will happen in the future no one knows. I am also sure if my feelings now and ready to continue on to this journey called life. I hereby wishing everyone a Merry Merry Christmas and a happy new 2007 year to come....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116704693876001686?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116704693876001686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116704693876001686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116704693876001686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116704693876001686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/different-christmas.html' title='a different christmas'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116680860670379130</id><published>2006-12-23T01:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-23T01:55:03.000+08:00</updated><title type='text'>shoes</title><content type='html'>Ok well to start off, went to queensway this morning with raidah to look for shoes. Yup we are looking for new shoes. Took train to the queenstown and was suppose to change to 51 or 195 from there but ya we took 51 from the wrong side. Apparently to reach the destination by the two buses, both buses had to be taken from different sides. So thinking that we could take either one that comes first, we took 51 from the wrong side. Big LOL! Ya we only noticed after traveling for sometime knowing that it was only a few bus stops away from the mrt station. So had to take 51 from the other side backwards.&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm reached queenstown eventually but, it was rather disappointing because we can't find what we are looking for. The prices are cheaper than usual but the designs wise were about the same. So decided to go back to heeren to have a look at the shoes i saw yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;Yup after looking at them i decided to come back in the night then i will purchase it (so to reconsider a little while more, hehe). Because i will be coming back to town later for movie! Night at the museum! Ok that would be one of the greatest movies i had watched this year. Fantastically entertaining! The show started off that seem abit dull but as it continued, you wouldn't stop laughing till the end of the show (really). Just love the stone statue from the show; "dumb dumb" ( those whom have seem the show). Haha so cute and funny!&lt;br /&gt;Well before the show i went to get the shoes, was on a rush when the show was suppose to start at 9pm, damien and i reached heeren at 8.40pm. Rushed in, grabbed the shoes to and ask for size 11, was praying that there was still size (each time i buy shoes there isn't my size left). Yup there was my size brought the shoes and ran to the train station (to dhoby ghaut).&lt;br /&gt;Ok the sad part is to come. Got home at about 12mn and i realised something real devastating! This adidas shoes are supposedly to be able to change the adidas strips at the sides. But i think they gave me wrong! Let me show you &lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/223118/DSC00128.jpg" border="0" /&gt;......This are suppose to be inserted on the sides at the strips. There are only 4 colors, but i saw on the internet, it had 7 colors....why why why. Ok never mind, lets move on. Is double sided, each color on each sides.&lt;br /&gt;This is suppose to be the right combinations for each color... &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/148242/DSC00127.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/394778/DSC00127.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other side for the pink is white, so they are alright but for the gold and blue, its wrong! Let me show you....... &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/239232/DSC00126.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/5832/DSC00126.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this means for one side of each shoe, i can only put gold on the left and blue on the right. This sounds ridiculous but this is what they are giving me. Is this on purpose can't really find a good reason to convince me. So this probably means that i got to bring it down for a change. But to avoid wasting a trip there is always better to give a call to check first if it was suppose to be like this (if so, is real dumb). Almost wanted to call adidas just now. But have to go down there myself, so sad. Never mind,what's got to do, got to do. Ya kind of got to say, my hair is real short, should had stop them from cutting them so short. So S-H-O-R-T! Its so late now but my main concern is still the stupid strips! Arrrrr...if only i could call them right now ( ya 2am). Wanna sleep now but seems like going to watch yu le bai fen bai then go to bed (thats if i don't fall asleep before). So whoever is reading this post now, good night (opps or it is good morning)....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116680860670379130?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116680860670379130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116680860670379130' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116680860670379130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116680860670379130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/shoes.html' title='shoes'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116672687933067707</id><published>2006-12-22T01:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-22T02:59:58.543+08:00</updated><title type='text'>curse of the golden flower</title><content type='html'>Today finally got out of the house and have some entertainment. To start off the day, i was suppose to get up in the morning for a morning run but when i heard my alram, i got up opened the window and took a look outside and it seems lke it was going to rain. The thick dark clouds i saw seem like it was gonna rain (or maybe i wasn't totally awake so everything seems dark). Ya so i went back to sleep. hehe... So i got up at 12pm and i still got the urge to run (who know's why) so i decided to run in the afternoon before going out. Yup i ran at 3pm, reach ed home at about 4.15pm and damien called me saying that he was reaching hougang, so wanted me to get ready. Knowing him, i took my time and bathe then he said he wanted to go to the toilet so had to wait. Told alvin that he gonna be late but alvin haven't bathe himself yet...lol! Now we all gonna wait. Finally met up and reached dhoby ghaut at 6.20pm. Well the weird thing is that damien and my intention was to watch at the cathay but alvin thought we were going to cineleisure. The worst thing is that even after stopping at dhoby ghuat he did not stop us until when we were walking to the cathay then he started to ask where we were going. Ya so we had to make our way to somerset. I quicky ran to creative and reedem the webcams and met up with them. On the way i stop again at nike and surprisingly i saw the nike messenger bag i was looking for. WOW! Well due to time constraint had to come back another day.&lt;br /&gt;Reach cineleisure at 6.45pm, rushed to the tickets and lined up. In front of me were two big time gays touching each other. BLAH! BLAH! Ya back to the tickets, wanted to watched two movies but alvin had to be home early today so could only settle for one today. Was still quite reluctant to think that i would enjoy the curse if the golden flower and still wanted to watch night at the museum. Well the show was rather nice after watching. i got to admit jay chou look really cool in the golden armour with the guan dao. Another thing that really made me curious was the women in the palace, the imperial maids and especially the empress. Were they all dress liked that before. Look at all of them, their clothes were super exposing and all had nice bodys sounds abit ya you know but is true. Thats also why damien enjoyed the show totally (right damien?).&lt;br /&gt;When i was walking out of cineleisure, saw a adidas shoe that looked real nice at leftfoot and knew i was gonna settle for that. Actually i saw that shoe online but didn't really catch my eye then but seeing it really looked great. Ya good things often are hard to find, the shoe comes in black too but sad to say there isn't my size for the black one. Hai.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/218286/Heeren.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/300243/Heeren.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Enjoyed the movie and we thought it was still quite early but we can't watch another movie so went to heeren for a walk. Well i knew that heeren had a adidas shop too but never in a million years would i guess i will find that shoe here. Ya and althought the price was abit different form leftfoot but i think it still have size.&lt;br /&gt;But i know i am not going to buy it here today until i have checked out queensway hehe. So since i can't have the shoe now, migh&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/218899/DSC00105.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="240" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/933915/DSC00105.jpg" width="309" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;t as well take a picture of it. I know the red one&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;looks nice too but the black one just catch my eye for some reason i don't know.&lt;br /&gt;Ya at the same time i took a few shots at some&lt;br /&gt;ot&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/735562/DSC00107.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/349356/DSC00107.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;her nice looking shoes too, hehe. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/837521/DSC00106.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice right i know. =D&lt;br /&gt;Well have my eyes on the first black one and i guess i gonna get it soon before gst increases to 7% (just another reason to buy things, hehe). Continued to walked around to past time. It was about 11.15pm that we finish and gonna to leave. As we were leaving, we saw the christmas trees everywhere. So took some for you to see. Look at the number of people taking pictures of the trees&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/614787/DSC00112.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6091/2540/320/DSC00110.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Yup there are three more of these in other colurs but didn't take pictures, or else i would look like some idiot trying to be some christmas tree specialist.&lt;br /&gt;We felt rather hungry so wanted to find somewhere to eat. Head back to hougang wanted to eat at the coffeeshop near our house. Reach there at 12.10pm, as i was walking , i stopped. Lam and the rest were there too. We sat together and ate together, haven't really sat down and talked to them like we used to for some time now. So as usual, we talked and talked until damien and i felt rather tired and wanted to go home. So left the place at 1am and i missed my show, sad man. Going to queensway tomorrow in search of shoes tomorrow, really hope i can find the shoe i saw at a cheaper price there. I still wanna watch night at the museum, hope i still got time to watch it before school starts. Christmas coming, new year is also round the corner. Maybe this year should go to the countdown at vivo but...i don't know. Well good night for now (or it is good morning, hehe).......&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116672687933067707?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116672687933067707/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116672687933067707' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116672687933067707'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116672687933067707'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/curse-of-golden-flower.html' title='curse of the golden flower'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116662263251435993</id><published>2006-12-20T21:11:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T21:50:32.543+08:00</updated><title type='text'>boredom</title><content type='html'>Nothing to do today, felt so bored, just felt like blogging. Could have started earlier but the site seems to be down in the morning. Woke up in the morning and could smell the thick paint smell in the house. Getting the whole house painted for the new year i guess. Erm ya woke up earlier today to get my haircut. Any later then 2 hours after 10am and i won't be able to get  a haircut. My hair looks kind of weird, looks pretty short at the sides but i guess suddenly reducing from so thick hair to so little. Everytime when i get my haircut and i feel that is weird looking, i always say to myself: like it or not this hairstyle will follow me for at least 1 month so make the best out of it. Kind of weird saying such stuff here but this just proves i am bored (^___^)&lt;br /&gt;The holidays are also coming to an end soon and school will start once more. Well homework just don't seem to be the thing that i would want to think of. Force myself to finish up maths at today which i started on monday (slow mo). Wanna get out of the house but no one and no where i really wanna go, ya so "home sick". Hmmm at least tomorrow might be out for movies and finally get a chance to redeem my webcams. Wanted to go for a run this evening but fall asleep after waiting for the show to load on youtube. Never mind there's always tomorrow morning! Well tomorrow is still sometime to come as for now i am still B-O-R-E-D.

LOL! Firstly damien was late again (not surprised) said that he had to attend to some 'big business' then meet us so was going to be late. Well to cut it short we met up with alvin at 11am (suppose to be 10.15) in the end. Reason for meeting so early to expo for the nike sale was simply because that the day before i went with damien but they were suppose to close at 8pm but when we were there at 6pm we weren't allowed to enter. Reason being, they had to Bring in new stock so please come back tomorrow. But that wasn't the main point, we could still see many items still there and many were still buying, can't they just allow us to have a look. So wasted a trip there just like that. Being so tired already (too tired to attend guitar yesterday too, hehe), it just made us more mad. So today we decided to be early just to be safe but we weren't as early as we plan. But on the bright side, the nike fair wasn't that fantastic as expected. We had to line up to enter the place (for what reason i don't know) and the entire hall was filled with nike boxes everywhere. The shoes were real cheap but there wasn't much 'decent' looking ones left or even there to start with. Left the fair in about 25mins time to the toliet first then decided to head to buigs (damien) then far east (alvin) finally to dhoby ghaut (me).&lt;br /&gt;So we went to bugis first and had our lunch there. After lunch we went in search for a toliet because damien needed to go again. Just before we went into bugis village, we were stop by topman and spend at least 1 hour inside. We practically messed up the whole changing rooms bring tons of clothes(three people) in to try. Finally i settled for a pair of jeans and two shirts. Alvin brought two shirts and damien who tried the most clothes didn't buy anything. At bugis village, we shopped again, after about five rounds of walking being in the same shop, damien managed to buy a pair of shorts! He sure can be choosy...hehe. Alvin picked up another two shirts, damien two shirts and one shorts and me one shirt. WOW! We were then searching for another toliet again again because mr lim wanted to go again. Then headed to dhoby ghaut because we decided to leave far east to another day. At ps, i wanted to have a look at the nike shop, having something already on mind. But sadly i couldn't find it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/171758/Carl%27s%20Junior%2003.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 277px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" height="240" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/134183/Carl%27s%20Junior%2003.jpg" width="281" border="0" /&gt;Had to decide where to have dinner so the coin flip brought us to carl's junior instead or yoshinoya. Had a satisfying meal with the LARGE sandwich and free flow of drink. One amusing thing i notice about carl's jr was that all their sauces kept at the pockets of each waiter's apron. Amazing. So each time you needed more sauce you would need approach the waiter and he would grap in out of their apron (kind of weird looking)...hehe. Next my dear friend needed the toliet again! He went to find a toliet again, alvin and me waited for him. After a well fed meal, we wanted to have a walk around to let the food digest. We went to the cathay for a walk next.&lt;br /&gt;Went straight to adidas shop (there isn't much shops there anyway) and had a look. Walked around the shop, damien wanting to pick up a sweater. Saw quite a few already, he will settle for a adidas sweater but is just depending where and when (not so soon) he gonna get it. Then damien wanting to see the cinema more being the first time here, we explored the cinema deeper, really! We went to the back where they kept all the advertisments boards for the older movies and some posters for the up coming movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/912929/Christmas%20tree%20at%20Cathay.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 278px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" height="240" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/745410/Christmas%20tree%20at%20Cathay.jpg" width="288" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Took the lift down, about to leave the place, we noticed a huge PINK christmas tree at the enterance (which we didn't see when we entered, surprisingly). Finally its time to head home so we went to the mrt station, but we went to the toliet before that. This time was alvin and me whom wanted to go...hehe. However damien had been to the toliet four times just going out alone, some bladder problem he has i think...lol! Today was a nine hour shopping trip and i sure brought home lots of stuff. Well personally i still had some things to buy but i think i would just hold on awhile, this would make me feel a little better (not spending alot all at once). So when's the next time...hehe.....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116628208213356459?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116628208213356459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116628208213356459' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116628208213356459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116628208213356459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/shop-till-you-drop.html' title='shop till you drop'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116583191342279379</id><published>2006-12-11T14:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-11T18:15:54.470+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Afamosa blah!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/907252/~hippo~015.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="214" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/469812/~hippo~015.jpg" width="208" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ok this entry should had came in much earlier but was too tired to get myself to on the labtop (ok i was lazy too). ok firstly dam lucky to be able to get the passport renewed before the trip, hehe all it takes was just a stamp on the passport. Wow and the best thing was it is renewed to 2010! Now this is something i really want everyone to know, Afamosa is a last place you should ever think of going for a holiday especially if you are someone who can't resist shopping when on holiday because basically you are practically stuck in the resort and all you have are the 'wonderful' resort facilities and thats all. Went there expecting that i would be able to do some shopping there but what happen, i got stuck there with their safari cowboy town and ya thats all. Kind of sad you know and the thing is their so called attractions are not exactly very well maintained. They are either old or their services very all bad. Seriously not exaggerating. To the extend that all the breakfast and dinner are all in the same restaurant. The worst thing is yet to come, for the breakfast, is all self-service and we were surprise that we were in a restaurant. Ya when eating their food please look out for the flies around and everywhere you go , you will see things flying around especially where there is food. I guess the best thing there would be the rooms, althought my room was flooded once when it rained there, water leaked in and the whole floor was wet. In the end had to get the room changed. Oh ya there was also the shuttle bus that brings you around the resort. The drivers are rather reckless but the rides are enjoyable. This trip was rather a time for my family to get together then enjoying it.&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/101983/DSC06471.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 227px" height="198" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/269649/DSC06471.jpg" width="213" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; So the bottom line is never go to Afamosa resort when you are visiting malacca. really! hehe anyway glad that i am back and school gonna start soon too, wonder where i am gonna end up in but sure hope my friends are still with me. For now i guess i could only enjoy the rest of the holidays for all i can and just cherish what i have now....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116583191342279379?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116583191342279379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116583191342279379' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116583191342279379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116583191342279379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/afamosa-blah.html' title='Afamosa blah!'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116542384896973156</id><published>2006-12-07T00:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-07T00:50:48.976+08:00</updated><title type='text'>rain rain rain</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/26895/DSC00010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="203" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/81387/DSC00010.jpg" width="232" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Went for my weekly runs again after so long finally got back into the run before my stamina goes down again. Ran my usual path today starting with a clear sky i ran. When i reach the second traffic light junction, i realise the dark clouds packing up. This isn't the first time i ran with dark clouds in the sky and everytime i was able to return home dry (from rain water of course) but this time i guess i wasn't that lucky. Got stuck in the rain half way on my run, ended up at buangkok station for cover. Looking at the rain falling, i went through the pictures in my phone listening to my mp3 waiting for the rain to stop. My mind was still thinking of the same thing all the time. Finally the rain begin to lighten down so i continued my run, but with an extra challenge to it, splashing through puddles of water on the road and maintaining balance. However, the puddles got large and my shoes and socks all became wet. Wow! wad a feeling!....hehe...got home all drench, this finally forced me to wash my shoes.&lt;br /&gt;Had to get ready for tomorrow's trip, so must get my ipod geared up. hehe...long trip there so must get ready some entertainment on the way there. Added movies and wei xiao pasta (currently addicted to) into my ipod. Finally got time to watch this drama after being some busy. cyndi and zhang dong liang not very compatible but she still looks cute. Well problems just keep popping up i guess. My passport had expired! Ya i found out that at 10pm and i was going off tomorrow. But i think i am rather lucky to find out before i reach the check point tomorrow. Well the only solution now is to get in renewed first thing tomorrow, had to get to the immigration before it opens and hope i would get it ready in time or else it would be cancelled i guess. So if you see another post tomorrow, it would just mean i didn't go to malacca then (like duh)...hehe...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116542384896973156?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116542384896973156/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116542384896973156' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116542384896973156'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116542384896973156'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/rain-rain-rain.html' title='rain rain rain'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116529808475314282</id><published>2006-12-05T13:32:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-05T23:40:32.600+08:00</updated><title type='text'>work at sitex</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/80439/DSC06460.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 197px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" height="200" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/320/840738/DSC06460.jpg" width="261" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; having slack for so long, it is only right to do some work now. hehe come to think of it i had looked forward to this 4 day work at sitex. But after it all ended i only wished it could have lasted longer. Was introduced by my cousin for this apple job. We were working for apple to sell ipods. Ya he and his friend(kevin), me and may worked at expo to promote ipods. Well after working for apple i kind of got brain-washed into mac os than windows. Imagine hearing to the advertisments of mac being a more versatile os than windows for 4 straight days ( ya how would u feel). hehe...ya but sad to say pay would only come in in Jan and commission wise would only come in Feb (like wth). After these days working with the people around, i had realised much of my friends that i didn't know before which really got me thinking. Apparently affairs of life are going on every minute but we just don't notice them. Is only when you know that really gets you to think. Sounds really confusing i know but these things in life is sad to say hard to understand and in fact not possible to understand. Well someone asked me what is true love, and what if don't hold on to it; letting is slip by. My answer was, we would never know is true love and is only almost not possible to find it. For me true love is something that comes from our feeling and is from comparison with another individual. Is just simply hard to "know" what true love is. We might had already let it slip pass us without knowing it but this is just life. Affairs of the heart are just compilcated. I guess the only thing we can do is trust our heart and eyes as well and go by them. Something had be troubling for sometime now but well at least after these days of thinking, i think i had got it sort out more or less, maybe wrong or right choice but i will wait for as long you will wait.......&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116529808475314282?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116529808475314282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116529808475314282' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116529808475314282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116529808475314282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/12/work-at-sitex.html' title='work at sitex'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116454748882831753</id><published>2006-11-26T19:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-26T21:24:49.106+08:00</updated><title type='text'>enjoying life</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/709118/V-t%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%2819%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/200/801493/V-t%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%2819%29.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; yeah, so many things to do but there's always time for every thing...was too tired after yesterday, so could only do this now today (although is kind of late now). Well yesterday went for lunch at city hall. Didn't really notice this restuarant before when i passed citylink, anyway i guess this is one of the most satisfying meals i had this year. Their menu was also very well designed to the restuarant's theme. Their whole roast chicken was really (huge and i mean huge), not exaggerating at all man. Eating the main course itself is already enough to let you last to dinner (you can imagine that), but the more important thing was the price was real reasonable. Really highly recommended to go man (just inside citylink). Lunch was on my cousin because it was my aunty daisy's birthday, Had to be there having being like a representative since my mum was in australia and my sis could't go, but it was really satisfying rather.&lt;br /&gt;ok enough of lunch, lan was the next best thing in life. Hehe but the more important thing was to find the people to play with. My cousins are the best people to accompany. Well it was a lan marathon for us once again, and we manage to set a new lan record, having played 8 hours straight. Like WOW!...hehe enjoyed myself really, even though it was really tiring and my head was like spinning after that. it was worth it.&lt;br /&gt;ok well that was yesterday, now for today, went to cineleisure for a "job interview" (more like just filling up a form). Got there at 1pm and went up to the third floor having after passing the long walk to the escalators as usual, we finally reach apple shop. Walk round the shop until we finally got to see the supervisor there and all he did was just gave us a piece of form to fill up our particulars. After that thinking that we could leave, the staff just called us back saying that the supervisor still wants to speak to us (like so last minute). Ya after confirming the details of the working days and pay, we had to be back here for "training" (as what he said), probably just explaining how an ipod works and how to operate itunes. Really looking forward to this, having been so bored at home for so long and the holidays wasting away. After that had to go collect my sis's phone at sony ericsson. Got to the shop got the number and stood there watchin mr bean animated. After like two episodes, finally got to my turn, ya the amazing thing was yet to come, the person actually said the phone was due at 6pm and not now(2pm). Ya my sis forgot to tell me about it. Now got to pass the collection slip back to her. Could only pass it to her at 4pm so i got to waste some time away before meeting her. So decided to pop by bugis for some shopping with my cousin. Ya like spend quite abit before even earning (kind of nice ar). Hehe should disclosed how much i spent ya. But something did caught my eye, a new phone! haha just looking only lah, not much money to change phone anyway. The new sony ericsson W710i was just so cool man. But is kind of bulky looking but its really bulky. Well but after going on to the net, another phone seems to better fit the bill. Z610i, is more sleek looking and the reflective clamshell design (which can serve as a mirror). sooooooo cool man! Ya thats all of it for the day i think, going to be kind of busy soon, looking forward to that of course.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116454748882831753?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116454748882831753/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116454748882831753' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116454748882831753'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116454748882831753'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/11/enjoying-life.html' title='enjoying life'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116438965279170421</id><published>2006-11-25T01:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-25T01:54:54.743+08:00</updated><title type='text'>wad a day it can be...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/1600/191956/V-t%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%2818%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 166px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 189px" height="179" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6091/2540/200/722198/V-t%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%2818%29.jpg" width="186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; How should i start...shooting today and i sure did go. Thinking that i was like the few that didn't attending training, i was so wrong. i reach school thinking that i was late for CCA but went i go to the armory seeing only the coach and some people that i won't want to see as much as possible as long i am in this school. Well, was quite glad that finally there as some progress after several months of pure dry firing and shooting at blanks only. Today! we were wore the top half of the armor like jacket which didn't feel good wearing at all (serious). It totally restricts the upper body movements and is heavy man! Well thats the main idea of that jacket which was to get you as stable as possible, as minimal body movements as possible. Being the first time wearing this piece of body armor, i sure wasn't feeling very "myself" as when i was shooting than before. Thinking to myself that probably after the dry fire, i would get used to the extra weight. Oh! i sure am wrong, as i began my first shot, i felt so uneasy. As i continued, the coach came and told me that i was moving to much (at the waist area). The shots that followed on was equally bad. These were the worst shots i had ever fired. Felt so angry with myself, i wasn't really fully concentrating during training too so who to blame? But i can't deny that i learnt quite abit and really know WHERE and HOW i should improve on.&lt;br /&gt;ok ok, after training, air the heavy jackets, keep the rifles and stands. Oh we had to keep the bullets; found out after asking teacher. I went to take the bullets and ms ang was closing the armory, if the doors were not close after some time in setting the alarms, the alarms will go off, ya just exactly what happened. WOOO!...The alarms went of and the whole school was filled with the alarm. Quickly, i ran to the general office to tell that it was a "false alarm" (hehe). But everything was alright after that because i left after ms ang said it was alright.&lt;br /&gt;Ya then it was also time for my mom to leave for Australia (for work), ya 8 long days man. Life for these 8 days will sure be different without her around.&lt;br /&gt;After that, i went for guitar lessons again, as always i was late, never seem to be early before, guess thats just luck. Who cares! hehehe....well roy went as if everyone had played a guitar before and was just attending his lessons to refresh our memory. He taught us 5 notes and 2 chords and thinks we can play these notes and chords as well as he does. He just changes from one to the other so quicky and thinks that we can read the notes like he can, well from what i heard from the room, we certainly can't "read" notes. Well knowing that we can even catch up with his pace he just goes on even faster, still assuming that we can catch up (totally nuts). Towards the end i was just holding the wooden musical instrument and listening to him play. Ya at the end of it he still says, "we should never say die" (ya right). But i certainly progressed from where i started. Well can be happy for that at least.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37646481-116438965279170421?l=thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/feeds/116438965279170421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37646481&amp;postID=116438965279170421' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116438965279170421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37646481/posts/default/116438965279170421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesoundsofmusic-vng.blogspot.com/2006/11/wad-day-it-can-be_25.html' title='wad a day it can be...'/><author><name>Christopher Valentine</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37646481.post-116394033589483752</id><published>2006-11-19T20:37:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-20T00:44:15.156+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dragon Boating</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6091/2540/1600/V-t%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%2816%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 270px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 236px" height="236" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6091/2540/320/V-t%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%2816%29.jpg" width="295" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Wow such's a tiring day it can be. Went dragon boating today, having being the first time i ever step onto a dragon boat, remembering the many times when i see those people on a "banana" boat look alike, shouting with the loud drums to accompany. This sure is an enjoyable memory to keep. Arrived at the Kallang Water Sports at 9.05am knowing that we were suppose to meet at 9.30am. Ya this sure is some rare ocsasions when my mom could actually make it there early!...lol... Well we weren’t actually the first to be there. My mom's cousin's (not sure how to address them, kind of complicated), their family were there. Apparently they just wanted to be early(real early). Sat down near the bank and decided to take some pictures, but only manage one before more people poured in. Had to put down my phone and to get ready for the water. Maybe not so soon, with some mini lessons on how to survive on water, ok i mean in the sea on the boat. Ya so it began, first check your life jackets, make sure.......blah blah blah.....and it goes on. The teams wasn't so well distributed after all, one team having so many children onboard and mainly girls (like how wth, my team btw), the other on the other hand had more bigger build which seems to have a bigger advantage. In additon we had to arrange everyone so ask to balance the boat (500kg on its own) but it was quicky done amazingly.Then finally, two teams, 14 each we got on the two boats separately, some kind of wobbly ya. But soon as we got hang of the boat, it was not so bad.&lt;br /&gt;We pedaled out into the sea, along the way we were all splashing water at each others boats (not sinking of course)and we passed by a highway, as we passed we were shouting "in, out " to maintain the rhythm on both sides of the boat. The echo below the highway was just amazing, you must go there and really hear it for yourself. We had a small race between the two teams, whahaha....suprisingly we won despite being known as the oldie team. After that we did something that i never knew we would be taught to do on a dragon boat. We were ask to seat at two the sides of the boat at the edge and to rock the boat upwards and downwards....like wow! Following that we we to turn around, still at the two sides of the boat but this time the legs in the water, similarly to rock up and down...cool man. Really enjoyed myself in the water man, you don't get to go onto a dragon boat and row it everyday you know.&lt;br /&gt;After all this we had to go for a shower (like duh) to wash up all the sea water. The place being too small to have everyone to shower, so some of us went to the national stadium's toliets. Knowing that it was going to be the last time that we would be able to step into this stadium again some of us just went abit high at ran onto the field. We lay on the ground and took a photo on the grass. It would be the last time for me to step foot onto this place again before it was going to be demolished or rebulid.
