This month can’t get any better.
I can’t think of anything positive that happened so far.
- Lecturer walked in the other day, said that we’ll have extra lessons on 26th November from 4-6pm. If anyone bothers to remember what that day is… *sigh*
- Phone decided to break down on me a week ago. I can’t call using my phone now, have to use my dad’s N70 which I’m totally uncomfortable with. On a positive note, I can SMS and surf the web using my N78.
- Have to rush out some website by the end of next week – thanks to waiting for information and my own mishandling.
- Failed my exam. Now I’m either going to owe the school $0, $132.65 or $300+. Seemingly just bad luck. I left for the test center 1 hour 30 minutes earlier, took a bus there. But in an unfortunate spate of bad luck, I was caught in a jam at 2pm in the day. Walked 1km back to the next main junction, tried to find a cab, but none would pass by for some next 10 minutes. When I reached the test center barely on time, I answered the questions, not knowing that I can’t review my answers after I went to the next question. I had a few questions which I didn’t think of doing since I thought I could go back to it, but alas, I can’t. After the 48th question and it auto submitted, my thoughts were: “what the fuck is this shit”. At least the least I could do now is to tell the others who are taking the exam after me about this stupid flaw…and so much for being the guinea pig again.
- Last but not least, iPod Nano got stolen – or at least I think it got since I still can’t find it at the usual places I place it. To make things better, I don’t even know when it was stolen or how.
- …and probably a whole of lot of problems that I don’t feel like writing here at all or I can’t think of them at the moment.
I don’t want to survive for the rest of the month anymore. This is so not my month and my week. What the hell is wrong?
Life sucks.
所谓，旧的不去，新的不来。。。
I’m going to part with the piano that has been with me for the past nine years in less than 12 hours. The new owner is going to collect it and have it delivered to her house.
It’s the piano that I first started playing with, the piano that I went for my first exam with, the piano that I played my first piece on, the piano that I always complained of having heavy keys that require much effort to hit…and, its been around us for almost an entire decade.
Despite all its flaws, its age and everything about it, I still like it. All the memories that it has created for the past nine years. It was a second hand piano when we bought it, possibly already at least ten years of age by then, so it’d make it at least nineteen now. It’s still doing good and fine, except for a few strings having broke recently.
It was expected to be gone, we already delayed the selling for months, or even years. The piano wasn’t that adequate for a student learning and preparing for piano exams, it was more for the casual player – but I still managed to sit through 9 years with it, going for most of my exams with it. We bought it to see if things would work out, and things did, but the piano stuck to us longer than expected.
Sometimes I wish the piano was sold or given away to someone I knew, instead of some stranger on the market, so that I could go back to it every once in a while, and play on its ever so heavy keys that I’ve gotten used to by now.
I haven’t been the most diligent player at the piano – I’m not at it everyday, nor do I spend even an hour at it most of the time when I do play it. But when it’s gone, I’ll certainly miss walking into the house, and seeing a piano with a soothing wooden touch staring right at me. It’ll be replaced by something else soon. I’ll certainly miss playing on the piano with much effort. I’ll miss playing on the piano and complaining about its heavy keys. I’ll certainly miss its unique tone, richness and voice. I’ll certainly miss it.
Hopefully it’ll have a new lease of life with the new owner…and maybe, for all I know, I’ll might just see it again in future. Nine years isn’t a long time, nor a short time for a piano – however the memories with it were deep enough to etch an image in me.
Goodbye! So long, and thanks for all the fish for the past nine years! Enjoy the new companionship…
。。。但我不舍得旧的去，也不喜欢新的来。
I caught Up today with A at AMK Hub. We met at round 6.30pm, bought tickets for the 8pm show since the 7.20pm one was packed already.

Of course, earlier in the morning and afternoon, I met up with my group for our project meeting at Changi Airport. We had lunch at Popeyes before walking around the entire airport to find a place to sit down and discuss our project. When we finally found a seat, we met a group of people there too, doing the same project, from the same school, just a different course.
Whilst we realised that almost immediately we stepped into the place, they took almost an hour, and needed to see me login to the school portal before they realised so 
. When they finally noticed it, they were going loudly: “Eh, go ask them what course they’re from leh” and pushing that job to each other, we were just sniggering and laughing away 
.
Anyway, they seem like a nice group of people 
.
With presentation week coming up, and the coming exams…I hope things will all go just fine.

Back to the movie, it was superb! I was supposed to watch it with J and some other friends today, but I couldn’t make it because of the project meeting.
There was a pre-movie clip that was nothing but hilarious .
The storyline of Up was so sweet and so touching, I really liked it. The animations were just great, and the music came in nicely too.
Now only if such things would happen in real life too…
Tea Party Outing with A and M, with a nice little Swine Flu Badge from WY
I met WY earlier in the afternoon at Dhoby Ghaut to get a nice little Swine Flu badge from her. After that, I headed off to Buona Vista to have lunch with A. After lunch, we made our way to Tea Party and met M there – spending the most of the afternoon there. As for why there’s only 2 cups there, it’s beacuse M came later, and I didn’t take a picture of her drink . The drink I had (on the right, behind the swine flu badge) sucked, it was bitter, even after adding 3 entire packets of sugar – I decided to live with it after adding the 3 packets, I don’t want to die of diabetes.
After that, we went to Orchard Central to take a walk at the new shopping mall.
By evening, we went back, And I spent the night watching 百万大歌星 instead of studying – well done!
I started the day with one particular thing in mind – I had to go to the office after class to attend a short meeting. Instead of wearing what I would have worn today, I took the liberty to wear long pants/jeans and a T-Shirt.
After classes, figuring that I’d be late if I took the MRT or Bus down, I took a cab down instead – only to forget what the building and the area was called again – resorting to call it “the place opposite the Indian Temple along [a certain road]“.
Alighting, I walked into the office, the boss exclaimed something along the lines of: “Oh wow! You’re here, and you’re in sandals!”
I was astonished! Of all things, I forgot the shoes, and shoes were something I would always remember, because I don’t like wearing them unless I have to.
The only thing I could bring myself to say was, “I just came from class.”
Luckily, it wasn’t really an environment of extreme formaility, but it was just pure embarassing, that’s all.
