Stable

Oh yeah! I'm stable. =) If you're taking a sneak peak. Really sorry.. I was angry. But ipntmyfbea.

Haven't opened a band room for a long time now. Finally, i'm back in the opening business, one week before common tests.. Now who in the right mind would come back for self prac one week before the common tests? Evidently I was bored in the room all by myself. Until Kok Hoe had to poke his head in and remind me of piao piao. Then I had unwanted company.. Haha.

Almost fell asleep twice while studying bio in the band room. Seemed to hear this female voice while in the dreamy state.. Wooh. The only ppl who came down for self prac were guys. You see which gender is insane? There was Sala and Jason exploring Persis, and Jie , running up and down the arabic Bb scale. Then my bubble burst. I gave in to temptation lah and threw away my unproductive bio studying for my bassoon. Tone sucks.. Lost that unique vibration. Therefore, it's reed scraping time.

And I wonder. Is Amanda Teng(at) ever going to pass me that fingering chart cum e-mail address cum some things on bassoon from my Australian masterclass teacher, Mrs Deans.

My sister is squealing now coz I gave her my $100 Levis voucher. Haha. That's what fashion disasters are willing to forgo.

It sucks to study bio. It just goes on and on.. The memorising is killing me! At about 1600 hours just now I just couldn't be bothered to cram my brain anymore and slept (LDMR). But once you memorise it it's so easy. Therefore bio rocks! =) Econs rocks too! In the past 2 days I just applied the concept of sunk cost and the law of diminishing marginal returns (LDMR) to my life.

Oh man. I'm starting to sound like a mugger. Used to incorporate all those physics, geographical and biological terms into my sec 4 lingo. Guess who decided to pay a second visit.

Anyway, I've got great things to look forward to! Muahahaha..
1)Watch Batman Begins with Tim after common tests.
2)Watch War of the Worlds with Tim and still looking for other ppl.
3)Go to Genting with Tim, Edmund (and Edmund's parents..). Woo!
4)Presentation night. =)
5)Not to be mentioned till confirmed. (Optional)

Yes Marcus, why in the world didn't you go to Brisbane? In that case come to SAJC k? Haha. =)

How in the world do you motivate 40 ppl to be one? Musically, socially, professionally, in mindset, in responsibility, in passion. Technically, it's impossible. Will that be the ultimate goal? What do you think SAJC band?

I pray that i'll pass my piano exam. Praying very very hard.
I pray that TWE will fluorish.
I pray that Ms Schreiber will one day be returned to her rightful, original, deserving owner. =)

Wooh! Inspiration!

Ok, actually not much lah but just felt like blogging. Someone save me.. I've been studying 12 hours minus meal breaks, day dreaming, stoning and praying. Ma mind is just getting clogged up.. like oil in a pore. Eww. The JC system is really a cock up. There's no time to pursue other significant things once you have studies and a substantial CCA. Something must be foregone. The joys of econs.. But at the same time the syllabus is so interesting! Minus the things bout cells and protein synthesis. 3 years in JC would be so much more ideal for the lifestyle. Maybe not for the workforce.

Ouch.. Many sudden jolts of pain.

I wonder who ever reads this?

Anyway, while stoning I realized why you, yes YOU Melvyn, asked me bout my surname. =) I wonder if this is actually Melvyn looking at my little words. Yup, I get your drift. It was all in the eyes. How in the world did you know? Alma mater right? I wish I were in your mood.

Oh yar, and Hui Shan. Thank you so much! =) Really appreciated what you did at the zoo. The Don't-just-stand-there-and-think-who-to-follow-but-go-and-get-your-life-back look. But sorry, let you down. That's why i'm ranting over here. You seem to have some insight.. Well deserving of the 2CUTE4U sign. =)
Wonder if Hui Shan will ever read this.

Stumbled upon this really crazy maths problem. Don't even bother solving it.

Find an expression where W will always be a POSITIVE real number, given:

W=E-P

and,

P is always the negative real number, -e. The value of e is smaller than E. E is always a positive real number. E+e cannot exist. e is undefined without W in the equation. The variables W, E and e must always stay constant.

Ouch again.

From here we have,
W=E-P
Subst -e W=E-(-e)
W=E+e
But E+e cannot exist,
So i'll change, W-e=E
But the variables must always stay constant
so I can't just minus e off.

Aiyah.. so many restrictions. No solution lah.
Unless.. e=0 W=E
And since E is always a positive real number,
W will be a positive real number!
Anyway 0 is a real number.
And it doesn't matter what sign you put on 0.

Weird maths eh.

Gibberish I am speaking.

Oh yar.. Persis rocks!
Haha. Although the bsn part is ok.. it's just so fun.

Hope Tim, Mund and Se will like e presents I got for them. =) Digress a little. I'm very scary. Even Tim is scared of me. As in not scared scared. But won't shoot me in the face. I wish I got shot more often, but keep it low first if you intend to start.

With so many shots soon i'll be immune.

W I w t o w w s o a e a. Ouch.

I pray for my Father's lot.

I give thanks for everything.

I pray for Whitey's studies and health.

What in e World am I doing here?

I haven't touched yobsn for 8 months.. imagine that. Sorry for the neglect old friend.

This little page over here brings back such wonderful memories. Why don't I start my renewal of yobsn with it's history. =)

See the "sui generis" over there? It's thanks to Zat.
Ok, maybe this whole blog is thanks to Zat. Haha. Have I bought you your lunch or coffee yet, I haven't forgotten? And it actually means unique. Sui Generis is 'unique' in latin. That's what old Gene over here is. Unique. But how unique am I? I'm kiasu, a mugger, a blockhead and insensitive. Typical Singaporean. Maybe I should have really gone to VJ (no insult to VJ ppl, my best friend and cousin are there and they're all great ppl) to mug all the way to 4As.

Anyway, back to the origins of this blog. As you can see, yobsn is actually 'yo' and 'bsn'.

Bsn has been my life partner for 4 years now. Ok, maybe I changed her 4 times but the tone is getting better. I don't sound like a bari sax anymore.. Muahaha.

Yo! is probably the best time of my life. There we were in 2003. The world was our stage, nothing could stop us. Hungry for Gold, we got it. Line dancing was the past time. The craziest things ever possible, all done that. Sunny.. (with the shoulders) I miss all that.

Oh man, I miss Jules' cookies, Guang Rong('s inhaler), Chong Hu's appetite, Ricko's bed, Wei Jian's pep talks, Joan Joan. Where in the world is Lynnie! Wang's the man. Audrey? Vincent? Yoohoo? Aaron, you're different. I even miss Alan Low Wai Lun. =) Zat, can you just sunny again. Haha. Really cracks me up. I am hugely proud to be from the Yo! Gang.

And there's Timmy boy! =) Edmund can.. Although i'm going to the same tuition as him now. Ah mah (Shi'en) and pervert Soh (Deren). Loh Cheryl! Kalaiselvam s/o Panisilvam my ultimate!!! The students, I emphasise, STUDENTS only (and of course some teachers like Jared and Patsy) of Temasek Sec rock! Minus the gangsters, delinquents etc.

My sister is cooing about my baby cousin like a paedophilic freak right now..

That was my past.

And it still rocks my world.

Now it's a totally different environment. And wooh.. what a ride it's been. It's been only 7 months and i've learnt so much. This is just the very beginning. All that bout my fashion sense and image. But some things are still the same. Have to keep the discipline, the muggeredness, the total band committment, the price to pay at the top. Oh.. Have I mentioned that the higher you go the lonelier you get. That's reality. Hey, even Mal's got her stuff to do although we can still maintain that trust.

But SA rocks! =) Coz that's the only place you get chapel. Band chapel is going to rock the house right Lilian and Momo? =) I feel so free to know God here. =) I will never exchange that for the 'drive' in e top 5. I have to admit that there is close to zero motivation here and it's very slack, but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Woohoo!

My primary reason for coming to SA? I want to tell the whole world! But why upset the balance in the world. My world. My style of writing has changed I realise. I've grown. But that doesn't matter. Nothing else matters. Just looking to the short run and the eternally long run now. Other than that the only thing I can imagine myself doing is walking by a stream in the autumn forest endlessly searching. Ok, if you're going to start the "Aww.. He's emoing again once more" save it.

Opiates relieve pain. I wonder if emotional heartburn is included. Anyway i'll never destroy my life by smoking.

How nice if 3 good friends could travel the world helping the poor together. But nature is more my cup of tea. Furthermore, 3 is a crowd and we will realize that one E won't be able to survive the journey. The physical journey is nothing. It's the emotional pain that will slowly devour. Talking bout pain. I just had 2 bouts of it. In that pain lies something so beautiful. But it was still heart wrenching. In that pain also lies a syndrome. An IdcwoptbWiatc syndrome.

I'm crazy. 4 days and i'm still crazy. Phantom cannot stop running through my brain. What if I become the Phantom myself. Strangely, I also liken myself to someone who grows young. Yes.. grows YOUNG. He was such a poor chap, Max, never able to love. But alas, he had his chances. A second, and a third. Is life really so good that you get so many chances.

Honestly, i'll get more devastated in the days to come. I wonder if a particular someone would have some time to spare on a lovely night such as the 10th of July. Or even sometime around there. But wouldn't I be very selfish then?

If this is all a dream, please wake me up. Coz in this dream i'm a mugger, alone, cold and facing a hell lot of thunder and lightning in my face right now.

I pray that Mum will develop a heart of gold so that Whitey will be able to be part of P nite.

I pray that Whitey will be blessed and happy forever.

I want Whitey but I can't pray for that.
