@5:13 AM
Cld finally take time out to update my blog! Even Juanx-jie is complaining le. *Laughs*
I cant help it too cos' I din bring my laptop along to hostel this week. So the only time I could make an entry is when I returned home. *Home Sweet Home*!! Home is still the best for me. Well..OF COURSE! =)
Hostel life has been real busy. I always find myself buried in a huge pile of tutorials at night when the entire hall is having party. So sad right? The work load simply keeps flooding in, endlessly. *sigh* Tt's why I always strive to finish all my assignments during the weekends so that I can party like the rests during the school days! Unless otherwise the tutors purposely post up the tutoials for the week only on Sunday night la. And that was what exactly happened to Micro and Basic Maths for econs this week. How sickening!
And oh my gosh. I'll be having my first lecture test the coming Mon! Argh. So fast. I have yet to settle down in NTU and now, I gotta start all the mugging episodes again. *dotz* Btw, it's Macroeconomics test. Hav to finish all the studying by today cos' I've driving lessons and Mus'art tmr. Half of my Sunday is already gone.
By the way, Mus'art gotta stage a performance at Esplanade Concert Hall in Dec. Esplanade!! My dream stage!! I've long to perform in this world-class performance hall ever since it was built. Finally. I'm finally realising my dream soon. Yeah!!=D

Met up with my NTU Clar section mates for outing yesterday. Din expect that I was the only enthu year one who turned up! It was rather awkward at first. Luckily, we headed straight to cinema, and watched 'Bewitched' upon my arrival. Save all the uneasiness. To side-track abit, actually the section leader's intention was to watch 'the Maid'. But I objected the idea cos' it isnt pleasant at all to watch such horror especially when you know what month it's currently. Prob there are some other seniors who're reluctant to catch it too, tt's why we ended up watching 'Bewitched'. Ask me whether it's worth my 9.50 or not..err..all I cld say is tt it would be more worthwhile if you watch its VCD la. Haha.
Anyway, back to the outing. If not for our future Chairman Nicholas who broke the ice between me and the rests, I guess the uncomfort will last throughout the night. He started the ball rolling..then from there, my other seniors began to strike conversations with me, asking basic questions like where were you from..which hall you stay etc. Den we had supper at a foodcourt behind Orchard's OG. Din even know this Nicholas so-called 'air-conditioned Kopitiam' exists. And guess what! They even have live guitar performance there last night! How interesting.^-^ Played Charades at the foodcourt while having desserts. My seniors are all Charades Pro lo. It was in fact their common game when they went for WMC. Cos' it doesnt require anything at all except for brains and hands. Haha. Felt rather paiseh there cos' I'm an amateur Charades player. My puny brains wasnt fast enough to think and act out all the necessary actions to represent the different syllabus. It's indeed an intellectual game I've to say.
Oh yah. My seniors were going all out last night persuading me to run for election. Their recommended post for me is Publications and Publicity. For one moment, I was quite eager to go for it. Cos' the way they put the post across to me is like you cld gain all the valuable experiences from this position which you cant possibly get it else where. One vital gain from PnP is that it allows you to accumulate your contacts. Well you know.. contacts are important when you're in the business line next time. I've actually thought it through thoroughly last night..and even discussed the issue with my mom, plus asking for some advice from Pohpoh.
My conclusion..
is thus to stay low profile and just be an ordinary player in the band. Given my current tight schedule, I dun think I could handle such responsibility despite the fact that this position is the most basic one to start with. The major hindrance here is Time. Yes. I dun hav all the time to spare. If I wanna join the committee, I gotta be prepared to give my heart and soul into it. And I feel that I'm is not at all prepared for such commitment, given the fact that I'm still quite unsettled in school, not forgetting the endless workload, my driving lessons and mus'art band prac. I've no intention at all to give up Mus'art for the sake of NTU band. After going for WMC with the band, I've somehow generated feelings for the band. There's simply no way to say 'okay..I'm giving it up' like that. The kind of attachment I've with Mus'art now writes off all the possibilities eventhough my parents actually harbour such intention. But they know I can't. It's like 'No way'. That's why all I can do is to keep a minimial level to accomodate my busy Sundays. Prob my busy schedule doesnt sound busy to you though;
*Mon-Thurs: Schooling plus Band on Wed from 8.00pm-10.30pm.
(Btw, my Wednesdays are ridiculous lo. My day starts at 8.30am with Micro tutorial and ends at 10.30pm with band prac. Last lecture for the day is 'Intro to HR' which timed from 5.30pm-8.30pm. And my band starts at 7.00pm. So you cld imagine me skipping dinner every Wed and 'fly' to Nanyang House for band prac after Intro to HR. Ridiculous. =/)
*Fri: Rest day! :)
*Sat: Band prac from 2-5pm
*Sun: Driving from 8.30am-10.00pm
Mus'art from 2.00pm-5/6.00pm
Yeah. Tt's my weekly timetable. Other people may be more fully packed than me, but this is jus nice for me. If I join the com, I'll be overloaded. Time is needed to fulfill other minor tasks like to revise my work, to do my own readings and most importantly, ReSt. Also, to spend time with my family! Oh dear. Ever since my hostel life started,the time I spent with my family dips like anything. To be exact, I only have two days for my family. Sundays works in a way that my family are out to go busy with their own stuffs in the morning when I'm at home. By the time they're back in the afternoon, I'm already out for mus'art. After which, I head straight to hostel (since I'm already in the West) all the way till Thurs/Fri when I'm back home again. As you can see, my home is soon becoming a hotel! *great sigh*
Gotta make a move now. Time to study for Macro! Argh.

Food for a thought: Prisoner of a bad past. Is it his fault at all to be a Prisoner of a bad past? Who doesnt yearn for a good life? But at least, he doesnt drown himself in a well of undesirable life. Instead, he takes the courage to move on. So what's stopping me?
Yearn for the days of innocence
