Mom's bitchy today
>_>
<_<
*Siiiigh* Oh, well. When people are in a hrury, they don't exactly cool down to consider other people's feelings.
She said I'm slow in telling her where her keys are and that she already found it without my help. It's 7:48 am for chrissakes!! I've tried to pitch my voice to considerably loud-level without awakening the people living upstairs.
Jeeeezuz!
*Listening to "Waiting For the Aeroplane" by a New Zealand musician, John Psathas and Dan Pyonton. It uses an array of sound effects, such as chopsticks rhythm hitting on ceramic bowl -------> or I'm mistaken* (I'm only at the 3rd track. There's like 10-17 tracks. O.o)
And for the spurt of sequenced videos below.... I er... discovered YouTube. Nah, actually, known about it for weeks, but wasn't keen on checking it out until I found something amazing. (For the robotic dance: look out for the guy in orange shirt!)
Melodic tunes and clocls are ticking in the music now, in metronomeic rhythm. Changed to da-da-da-da-DA-da-da-da-da-da.
For music, currently composing a piano solo, 'Stream' and a orchestral piece which consists of a violin quartet, a flute and piccolo which I've named - 'Happy Days Are Coming'.
Chopsticks are back in the music. All this while, the piano is playing its chordal bass and mostly single-line right hand.
In my music class, 3 guys are in a semi-famous band called, 'Sons of Darragh' (the name is suppose to be a pun and a tribute to our music teacher - Mr. Phil Darragh - he doesn't have sons, so they are the most difficult, but talented sons he had). So, Kiran, Jordan and Sonjay are the members that make up of the Sons of Darragh. Kiran is the Head Boy .. (That's something to say the least)
They're in 7th Form. And yup, Mount Roskill Grammar is sort of a college or pre-university if you would like to call it. MRGS (My school's acronym) is very strong in the Boy's Chorus Competition; winning like first place 3 times in a row, I think; and GUESS what? Kiran is one of the singers. The Boy's Choir calls themselves - "Sons of Pitch" .... ooo.... I see the similarities.
Oh, yea, and in my music class, there's only 2 girls, me and Tian Shue or commonly known as 'Joyce'; and 7-8 guys. Mr. Darragh combined the 6th formers along with the 7th formers, because of the small amound of students taking 'straight' music. Most prefer 'performance music' where you don't need to learn hardcore theory or composition.
It's really 'HARDCORE' . Imagine, comparing and contrasting 2 different music works for Music Theatre, New Zealand composers and orchestral music. It is not that easy if you have to know all the music terminologies, how the music was shaped and structured + its historical/cultural/social background. We have to write 3 essays at the end of the eyar exams.
I'm cool now. Not blaming mom for her irrationality. :P
Went to youth Christian group yesterday night from 7 pm to 11:30 pm. Whoooo! We watched 'Bruce Almighty' and blessed Ling for her trip to America next week; she's getting married to her childhood friend.
Everyone say 'AAAAAAAwwwwwwww'
I'll definitely miss her and I have to say that this life group is the wittiest of all life groups (since most of them are already working an at least 2 to a decade older than me >_>) Ling is a psychologist and she's 26 and been such a good friend to me. She said she will send a wedding invitation to me. She's actually holding her wedding in Malaysia > where 'things' are cheaper.
JOKES/WITTY COMMENTS
sO,
aS Jamie (making up a name, 'coz I can't remember) held possession of the rugby ball (they were playing a Touch Rugby competition); In burst of inhuman speed, he raced to the 'destined' line.
Everyone was like, "GO JAMIEEE! THAT'S RIGHT! THAT WAY!"
Everyone made hand signals, urging him forward to the finish line, but suddenly, he slowed down and shook his head. He knew 3 guys were coming right behind him and he got cowardish. Everyone was like, "GO JAMIEE! RUN!!"
He shook his head and PASSED the ball to Ben (making up this name as well, can't remember).
...
...
The ball overshot and when it made a perfect arch over Ben's head, Ben was like (in slo-mo) hands up, jaw steadily dropping with a mournful, "N-o-o-o-o-o-o."
And Joanne said, "It was as if ZOOM! And then slowing down and then... ppuutt..ppuut....pput."
Heart-breaking.

English Proposal
Ooo-kay! Time for some itsy-bitsy fun during my English class.
Be warned!:-= This is a compilation of several itty-bitty laugh scenes which is not in chronological order.
"Look at my huge muscles," Alim, a rake-thin, bushy-eye-browed pre-adult said behind us (Abigail, me, Caryn).
I gasped loudly, and everyone sitting in the back row laughed, including my neighbours. Oh, yea. I don't think Alim laughed; didn't turn around to look >_>
~~~~~~~~
"So, if you had a chance to genetically manufacture your child, which gender would you choose?" Miss Daji, my english teacher said.
Miss Daji is a mix who speaks beautiful NZ English. Although rather short, her gaze can extend hundreds of miles away i.e. her Killer-Bulgy gaze (where her eyes widen so much, it feels like it's going to pop out and head straight towards you O.o). She's a fun person to be around, eventhough her tongue could sharpen a kitchen knife, yet become a butter tray and a wit so fast, straight and piercing that you wish you weren't her target.
Back to the question:
So, someone spoke up (I forgot his name) and said, "Boys."
"Why?" Miss D. asked.
"They're cheap."
Everyone burst out laughing. A-hahhaa.
boys are cheaper than girls!
Even so, my online friend disagree. Our convo:
Zach says:
Boys are difficult.
I know, because I am one. <_<
Me:
ahahha. Ohh, so how are you difficult?
Zach says:
Well, in general terms, boys eat more, they have higher insurance rates (both health and car), are more rebellious and violent. <_<
Zach says:
And more territorial.
:P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You proposed to him?!" Caryn, a fellow Malaysian exclaimed, surprised.
Karen said, "No! He did!" She poked at Jason, a Korean student, who was gaping in shock.
"No! She did!"
Who would you believe?

Blessed Love
Believing more of Him, is taking the first step of a Christian Walk.
Even if you are not Christian, you'll be reminded of God's presence daily. Unconsciously so, we take His presence for granted. It's cool for being a free spirit, and not being tied down to any religion. Being a free soul reminds me of freedom of the mind. I felt special and proud that I'm not bound to any religion; I have the freedom to explore every kind of religions and felt no qualms of talking insentitively about it.
However, during worse times (traumatic experiences or just depressive moments), I usually turn to my friends for comfort. But when I need immediate comfort before I let harm come to me (cutting myself, when I was in M'sia), I felt spiritually empty. I do not know who to turn to, but thank god I did not proceed with the irrational act. The most recent example, was my sexual harrassment. After that unfortunate incident, I was also left spiritually empty.
It was wrecking me up inside.
Until I went to an Asian Christian Camp. I felt their genuinity, their sincerity, their generosity; giving without strings attached. Giving not just by materials, but with good advices, encouragement and friendship without judgment.
I was touched and felt truly blessed. I felt like I belong to Christianity.
And when I was annointed as a Christian during the camp, I felt a heavy load of paranoia, pressure and sadness were lifted off me. I felt loved and not being looked at critically.
Other Love:
Sibling love, parent-child relationship, love at first glance, feeling of love and platonic love (among friends).
Sibling Love
- Oddly enough, I wouldn't know how to comment, because I do not have any brothers or sisters. However, I know that, no matter how unkind your sibling or siblings are, they still care about your well-being in their strange way.
Parent-child relationship
- Parents wish their kids remain kids, instead of growing up into rebellious teenagers. We are deserving of our parents and we honour and respect them, taking care of them after they are in their wisest years. They love us unconditionally, and in turn, we could try to please them as often as possible (don't be too obedient, you have freedom to express).
Love at first glance
- This is one in a thousand. It is just a strong feeling, usually governed first by the attraction of physical features before we go into how charming they are, how adorable is their ear lobes, and how they make us smile all day long. Although, we might discover how demanding they are, how unreasonable and dreadful are their habits. Still, if both of you would want to make the relationship work, try putting in effort to include your significant other in your interests.
Feeling of love
- I meant the feeling of couple love. It usually evolves from being friends, blossoms into wonderful spurts and then taking it to a serious level. Marriage could be considered and some would prefer to live together first before taking the life-changing decision into action. As for me, I found someone I love, but I would want to rear a dog before having children. :P
Platonic relationship
- Could you still stay good friends without developing me feelings for your friend? I have witnessed a wonderful friendship here in NZ: Jesse and Halee. Jesse and Halee are so close that they give each other pecks, hugs in the public eye and yet they still manage to not date each other; Halee has a boyfriend now, although Jesse is still single. Their platonic love is so remarkable.
In my honest opinion, I don't think I can not develope feelings for a guy friend if he keeps hugging and kissing me on the cheek. The feelings do grow, but it all counts on you whether you could see if there is a future and if the other person shows signs that they're keen.
People use more body language when they're in love. That's why it's so damn confusing if they say 'nothing' but their body language clearly states that something is wrong. Unless we're reading it incorrectly. -.-''
Blessed be your love. @-*-----
