Happiness all around!! The Waiting Game...

Time has passed around me quite quickly, but it's ok. Over the past week, I've learnt more about myself and what I am capable of, in many aspects of my life, and that it has been a quite enjoyable day for me too.

The week has passed by very quickly, as though not giving me a chance to breathe... However, I'm relieved that I've still had this chance to just calm down and think about how hectic life has been, reflect upon it, and perhaps improve on it... Hopefully, whatever I may have learnt may be helpful as some kind of life experience for me.

My life over the past week:
March 8th: Went to JEC and bought a newspaper there, which was where I saw the news that one of the Founders of Ocean Butterfly had died of a Heart Attack, which was quite shocking to some of his closest friends… I was also a little sad, as this was the company in which JJ Lin was from [Although it seemed as though there was no mention of it in JJ's website]

March 10th: Went straight to OBMF for the vocal audition. Upon reaching there, I discovered that my CD player had run out of power, so I couldn't do any last practices with the CD. I also had 2 mouth ulcers [one on each lip], so it was quite painful and uncomfortable for me. So, what I did was that I tried to recall the tune of the song, then practiced in my head. I also hummed the tune. Then, 10 minutes before my turn, I went into the toilet to refresh myself for the big moment when I was to go in. I then practiced in the toilet for a while {nobody else was inside anyway}, before it was my turn.

Then came my turn: I first gave a short introduction of myself, then started to sing. My singing was quite ok, except for a little part before the chorus which I noticed went a little off-tune[not sure if that was all tho… LOL].

Then the most interesting part: Today!!

I woke up at around 10am, then ate a little breakfast, then after a while, bathed. It was then time for me to go JE library to meet my friend. I reached there at around 4.30pm. He told me he wanted to use my laptop for a while, which I gladly did, provided he did not corrupt my data [lol]. We then went to eat dinner at around 7pm, at Long John Silver. After he had finished his lunch, my friend left as he told me he had something on tomorrow, so I stayed there to do a little wireless net-surfing and MSN chatting, before leaving at around 10pm.

So, here I am now, happy typing away about how my life has been. The fact is, life is usually what we make of it, and how we want it to be. So, if we want it to be dull, it will be, but if we want it to be interesting, then we have to work towards it, rather than just thinking about it.

That’s why I like this quote from “The Vanished Man” [by Jeffery Deaver]
"Everything in the past is memory, everything in the future is imagination…"

The fastest and longest period of Nothingness

Since when have I ever tried to do a blog, I can’t remember. As always, there always seems to be no time for me to have the chance to actually sit down and write down whatever that has been happening in the course of my life...
Thus, for the last 2 periods of time, I have had to accumulate whatever that has happened into long sketches of ridiculous timetables:

10th Feb: My GCE “O” Level results were released.
11th Feb: Went to SP to see what courses I should take for the JAE.
13th Feb: Went there again with my aunt, who helped me by recommending what course to take. Then, I went to NP to choose the courses there. Lastly, went to my other aunt’s house to input my choices for the JAE.
17th Feb: Got JJ Lin’s new album “曹操” It was a wonderful album
26th Feb: Went to Joshua Ang’s Birthday party and surprised Shawn [He had no idea that I got selected to go...] and I dedicated “曹操” (the song) to both of them. It was quite a strange experience.
3rd Mar: My posting results of the JAE came out… And I got into SP’s Chem. Process Tech!!! Ok, I initially had a preference to NP, but in the end, I felt that since I got chosen to go there, I might as well make the best out of it...

To further elaborate, the thing is that sometimes, what you think might happen actually never happens, and something that was totally [if not, partially] unexpected happens instead… That is when I get some shocks in my life, but these shocks usually just happen in the initial phase, and after that, it is no longer such a shock, but rather a fact of life, so I just deal with it and move on.

It may seem as though there is a gap of time between my previous post and what happens now, but you should know that human memory does not always remember what we do, so we usually need to have a written record of whatever we do [well, maybe not always, but most of the time…] So please forgive me for not being able to remember what actually has happened...

As I wrote the few paragraphs above this afternoon, while offline, I feel that I left some things unsaid: I feel so sorry to all whom I may have offended before, and hope that all of you will forgive me and my strange behaviour. And I was wondering if there is any way the people who are reading this now, to feedback to me how you feel my posts have been, so as to give me an opportunity to change.. I will be writing another post later, so watch this space...

Ok? Thanks... If only I knew who was reading my blog.. Haha.. I may never know...
