潇洒走一回

最近发生了一些事，使我感到不开心。

It's getting a bit distressing.

有个好朋友对我说，要潇洒一点，每天的烦恼就更容易的熬下去了。

Quite true. 我要更加潇洒。心情才会好一些。

心事闷在心里真得很辛苦。唉。



要珍惜朋友对你的忠诚。

Interesting

Maybe you all will want to look at this. A very cute and amazing competition. Between some I can't see the link la. But when you know what's happening, it's pretty humourous.

Post Da Capo 2007

Uh, I'm quite looking forward to InTempo 08 already.

Whahahahahahhaa.

The concert was not bad, I liked InTempo 2007 better though. I felt that this concert...somehow or the other I couldn't put in emotions into it. Probably 'cos of a tint of pressure? Yea perhaps.

But my Second Suite Mvmt II was..........not that terrible except for the high F that I didn't pitch. Sad.

Daniel Kiang said he saw my face turn black when I couldn't hit it. Ooops.

Otherwise...not bad la. Not bad. Heh.

I hope that the next InTempo I'll be able to find time to write nice cards for my friends. Haha. I didn't have that much sincerity this concert =P.

I uploaded the photos already. Go here.

Journey to the West (reloaded)

You people should watch this clip. Especially if you know Cedric Lee. Whahahaahahahahahaha.

Sighhhhh

Just when I wanna upload photos, I can't find my card reader. =( I wonder if I threw it away blur-ing-ly. You know, some reflex action. Sigh. I really hope I didn't. But they're always either on my table or in that drawer only. I can't think of where else I'd have placed it. Along with it I misplaced my mobile's USB port. Weird.

Edit: Eh I found it liao! Shortly after I posted this I took a round around the house again. Heh. Can upload pictures le.

臭男人满天下

This isn't fun at all.

What foul mood.

Ethan is here!

Yes yes my nephew was born this afternoon at 1346 hrs. 3.29kg (heavy!) and 50 cm.

Heh. I'm an aunt! The feeling of being an aunt and having a nephew hasn't really sunk in yet. Probably when Ethan calls me Ah Yi then I'll have some kind of reaction. =D

Some precious moments to share.

I carried the baby! (maternal instinct, whaha)

The newly promoted grandparents. I think my parents look quite young to be considered as grandparents though

Ah gu gu gu don't cry!

And my dad chose to irritate Ethan (his expression is damn cute)

See la. Tsk tsk tsk

So angelic right? Awwwwww =D

Introducing...

...the NUSWS bass section!


(minus Qizhong and Si Seng)

Check us out at Da Capo next Saturday~!

The family member-to-be

I'm still waiting for the birth of my nephew who seems to be happily rolling inside my sister's womb. I learnt that the due date is supposed to be today, and if he is still unwilling to leave the comfortable place he's in now, it wouldn't be good for both mother and son. So my sister is supposed to check into KKH this midnight and they'll induce birth then.

So I'm quite jumpy now, and since the boy is supposed to be due tomorrow, and I have school tomorrow, and I have to go to Zara at Liat Towers to collect a pair of pants that I reserved, and I have to go to CFA to put some documents there, I dunno how to plan my time tomorrow. I don't even know when the boy's gonna make himself known to this world!

So interesting. Today I'm the youngest at home. Tomorrow (maybe), I won't be anymore. And I'm even gonna be an aunt! =D

Aunt Erina. Erina Ah Yi. Xiao Yi.

Ahhhhhh.

All the angst over PSLE math

I think most of you must have heard about the Primary 6 pupils crying after their PSLE math paper. And then their parents complain. Haiyo. I saw three of the 48 questions published in the Sunday Times today and solved them. Hmm, they may be quite difficult for a P6 kid, I doubt I'll be able to solve these questions when I was P6. But considering the higher education standards now, maybe they should be able to solve it after all. Shrugs.

Here are the questions:


Try solving them! I guess the questions are more of, misleading than difficult. For question 2, I spent quite long trying to write down a formula to find the total number of chairs. My mum even laughed at me for not being able to do. And after a while, CHEY. I got the answer in one step. Haha, I thought too much already. But it was rather tricky. Questions 1 and 3 should be easy la. Maybe add question 2 to that. Haha.

A phone call

The phone rang just now while I was youtubing and since my mum was sleeping and I was the only one around, I answered it.

Me: Hello?

This guy: Hello. Good afternoon.

Me: Uh...huh...

This guy: Oh you sound a bit young. Are you over the age of 18 yet?

Me: Uh..no. (WHAHAHA)

This guy: Oh then is there anyone else at home that I can speak to?

Me: Oh uh I'm alone at home now.

This guy: Ah then usually what time they'll be back? At night?

Me: Uhhh...probably evening?

This guy: OK I'll call back again later! Bye bye.

Me: Oh ok bye.

And I hang down the phone and laughed out loud.

I sound young baby. Woots~ =D

From Roberto

When I came back from Europe, they said that one of the Italian guides attached to NUSWS had gifts for all the girls. I heard it was some horoscope-related necklace. And mine was with Yong Kiat since I left earlier and didn't collect it.

After months of waiting I finally got the necklace from YK at our NUSWS tuba outing yesterday. There's actually a pearl in an oyster or some other mollusk and you have to remove it and make a wish and put it inside the necklace.

Here's the necklace with a box-like pendant that you store the pearl in.


The box containing the entire set. 'God-given' Pearl -_-


And then the can containing the oyster...


Look closely at the oyster in the can.


Damn gross right. Hahaha. For some reason I think the oyster died and vomitted the pearl out so the pearl is now nudged between the shells. But I think probably the manufacturers stuffed the pearl into the oyster. However trusting European products, I washed the thought away.

Till I turned the can around and saw this particular sticker that was a bit of a stick-out.


Made in China. Now I think that the pearl was probably stuffed inside the poor mollusk.

Some personality test

Which I think is rather true. Shrugs.

The Sonnet
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLD)

Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?

Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

Always avoid: The 5-Night Stand (DBSM), The False Messiah (DBLM), The Hornivore (RBSM), The Last Man on Earth (RBSD)

Consider: The Loverboy (RGLM)


Go do it, I think it's pretty accurate.

Weekends!

Yeay! The weekends are here!

But I have tons of work to do. And concert is coming. And I have a test next Friday. I hope I'll be able to study enough for it, 'cos I have band on Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Sigh. I'm beat.

Hairspray

You all should really watch Hairspray. It's addictive!

After getting Maria's Hairspray soundtrack I'm addicted to it laaaaaaa. T_T

But listening to Hairspray makes you happy. Really. Probably that's why I'm stuck to it. You guys should watch it!

I'm soooo gonna get Hairspray's DVD. And watch it over and over and savour it. I wanna know the backstage stuff also! So interesting!

Here's a clip. Must watch. But if you don't wanna have any spoilers then don't.

Spoilers ahead!

This part is about John Travolta's character cooping at home for many years and her daughter wanted to bring her mum out and ta-daa you get a great video. Really nice!



I think Travolta's the ultimate. 'Cos he was dancing in heels!!! But the clip is sooo nice la. You won't stop smiling watching it.

Discomfort

I've never felt this lousy about school before.

Like...I know I won't go any further in this. Sigh.

Bouts of procrastination and tears and self-discipline and patience, and then dwell in self-pity.

And it doesn't help when there is a cold shoulder.

I am confused. I really am. And I hate this feeling of being left hanging there. The small little changes I see can really affect my mood, it seems.

And why is it that I seem to be falling into this trap and I don't become happier?

Things are rather frustrating these days, and I don't know how I should go about letting you know.

~~~~~

And thanks to Nick who tried to cheer me up online last night, by asking me how to put the downwards arrow in my MSN nickname which says 'ERiNA is feeling ↓'. My mind was too hazy to think about why won't Nick know. So I dumbly told him. And he asked if I can change the arrow to point upwards. Ya can, do the same thing lo. (this shows how simple-minded I can get)

Of course he knew how to enter it. His copyright logo of his Nick-name (pun intended). I was pretty amused when I realised. =)

Getting ready

When I returned home from band on Thursday, I saw that the sewing machine and an armchair was moved out of the master bedroom and placed somewhere in between the living space and the kitchen.


Which mess up the house.

Suspicious of the move, I went to check out the master bedroom. And then I realised.


Awwww, my dad set up the baby cot for his grandson!

FYI, my nephew (who is still rolling in my sis' womb) will be staying with us, taken care by my mum.

Oh and the heaps of stuff on the cot are baby-related goods. Look at the shopping done for the boy! There are more stuff around but they're not on the cot. They're in my room -_- Like thanks.

~~~~~

I wanted to eat the pomelo yesterday and my dad helped to open it up for me. 'Cos my cutting skills are lousy.

At some point, you know that waste can be turned to good use. Here goes.


I should put this pumpkin-wannabe by the window to scare the weird old lady who walks around the entire block to peek at what her neighbours are doing.

Ahh

I am feeling awfully stressed. Why are things like that?

The pressure is kicking in real hard. T_T

Exams are coming, and I'm still aimless in school. I don't know what I don't know. I don't seem to be consuming stuff efficiently.

Why isn't anything done? T_T

Sighh....

And I just found out about something which is rather worrying. =( But with the amount of time I have for work, I guess I can only leave it till the holidays to do something about it.

I have a test on Tuesday. I am ultra worried. Let things go into my brain please.

Why am I always so slow?

Sob.

Stop blogging...

...not! This is not a good time to blog because I have a test tmr which I'm very unprepared for.

Nevertheless, I went out with the father just now supposedly to get a phone but due to complications I got none.

Anyway, the point is not that. The point is this:


Damn cute right??? Imagine seeing many lion faces on the tray. Awwww. Too bad I won't buy all. Haha. Got one and I'm satisfied.
