Completely off-my-head random stuff!

i haven't written anything really cheem in a long time.

AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO DO SO!!!

wahahahaha...

i'm a very thought-provoking person and i think about many things all the time. that's why i have so many journals lying around. i don't know if i'm the only one like this, but i always think about what i'm gonna write in the blog. and yes, i probably have 4 or 5 posts in my head now!

but today, i shall be so completely random and digress in all different directions.

• i went for the medical screening and i got a pes C (like the NSmen) because of my weight. baaaaaaaaaaa...it's so annoying that i got dropped 2 grades when i am healthy and fine in everything BUT my weight. it's just a couple of kilos what!!! then again, it doesn't matter coz i'm DXO. hur hur

• performing group auditions. it's quite shocking, and slightly disappointing that so many people can't read simple solfages. we didn't used to make a big deal out of this, but i really think it's important to know some basic music theory. so that was a mistake of the past amongst others, and i hope we can correct that. anyway, those who are in, keep it up and i hope we'll all do better. those who didn't make it, don't give up and just keep on working on it. with determination and the right attitude, you'll get what you want!

• which comes to ONE advice to people who really wanna sing well: JOIN THE BAND! (if you still can) note that i didn't say "pick up a musical instrument" because i realised that it's slightly different. and by "band" i mean like either a brass band or symphonic band. and pick up either a wind or brass instrument. SERIOUSLY, it helps in so many different ways - build up your stamina, you learn how to use your diaphragm, you pick up music theory faster, become more sensitive to music since you can pick out different instruments and it really trains your ears. i know some people who like to sing would join the choir, but i realised many people who are in choir tend to use a lot of falsettos because it blends nicer. they end up having big problems with their singing voice. plus, most people i know who can sing have been in a band, or most people in band can usually sing. (i'm not being ego here. this is just my point of view and some observations i've made.)

• i'm really lazy when it comes to cleaning and tidying. just see all my bags that i've used in the last week all over my floor and the chair...that's 6 bags already. and my dressing table is packed to the brim, and so is my side table. i'm a procrastinator lah! kena nagged so many times by so many people and still, i don't do anything about it. hahahaha...=X

• we must save money!!! it's this quarter-life crisis thing so i decided to share this revelation with everyone. i just got a savings-investment plan and i shall plan to save money while having enough to go for my japan trip at the end of the year. i think i have to reduce on 2 things: food and taxi. yesterday for the medical screening, i was afraid i'll be late so i alighted from the mrt halfway and decided to take a cab. BAD MOVE. the taxi stand had a queue and NO taxi, so i called a cab. WORSE MOVE. the minute i got on the cab, it was $8.50 already. $4 for the booking fee, $2 for peak period surcharge and $2.50 for the regular start-off fare. ARGH!!!

• btw, starting work on 7th may. at least i have 1 more week to slack/rest/play catch-up with friends/get myself used to sleeping early and waking up early.

• sometimes, it seems like there's nothing easier than logging on and blogging endlessly. other times, it seems such a chore to on the computer, wait for it to start-up, open explorer, type in the website, log into blogger and actually type a post. isn't that weird???

• i was thinking of a short holiday next week, but it's a bit rushed and in my bid to save money, i think i shouldn't. HOWEVER, i woulnd't mind a short getaway to batam or sentosa? kampong huts anyone? i can only take 2 more people. hahaha...

• "america's funniest home videos"...there's nothing funnier than babies and animals! wahahahaaa~~~

• i dropped my handphone today in a bid to get the house phone. which was ringing away, while in my sleepy, dreary moment. there are scratches on it now. and i'm pissed that there are scratches. =( AND i need to get a phone without a camera coz i can't use a camera phone at my new workplace. suggestions, anyone? preferably a nokia phone since i am pretty used to the functions.
