well, post number 80, lol.

thanks for everything, section mates! and i'm really really sorry for what i did, please forgive me? lol. really sorry, i just flew off the handle. really appreciate what you all did, thanks so much.

well, got a few more greetings today, some of which were unexpected. managed to get some important parts of Vogelhandler done in sectionals, and had some cake too. lol.

well, it's been a tiring day. not much to say either. but the gifts were nice. i love the texture of the card, lol. the message is also nice. once again, thanks section mates, and i'm really really really really sorry!

Post No. 79, date being 28th March 2007, and my age being officially now 16!

in all honesty, i can't quite believe i'm already 16. 16 always seemed ages away all the past few years, and i've been so busy in recent times that i haven't had the brain space to count down, so, this all comes as a sort of 'surprise', lol.

well, first of all, let me thank all the people who wished me a happy birthday in one way or another: Shu Yi, Mabel (numero uno! lol), Yu Qing (early by a whole day, lmao), Shi Kai, Eugene, Pui Jun (your msg was the funniest. one of the few times i've ever laughed in the morning of a school day, lol), Cheryl Low, Rui Shan, Liangyun, Clarissa (3 times; once through SMS, twice in real life, lol), Boon Wei, Grace, Li Ting, Li Wen, Shi Zheng, Yan Ling, Yang Yue (who surprisingly also got me a present), Alex, the whole class of 4/5 (cheers mates), Ms Eunice Tan (directly), and Ms Lee Yen Yen (indirectly, lol).

yea, i think that's all of them. if i missed out anyone, i'm sorry, and do remind me so i can add you in, lol.

well, the whole day was filled with greeting after greeting, thanks everyone. if i reacted in a weird way, it's only cos i'm not that used to be wished a happy bday so many times in such a short period of time, lol. cheers, all!

went to the band room after English Oral, and did some technical practice before helping Brandon out with his sound and playing some duets from the Arban book with him. when Eugene finally came, we hung out in the band room for a little while, doing dumbass things, before going off to Pizza Hut to eat; me, Eugene, James and Hazmei. Eugene paid for me; thanks alot, Brudder, lol.

well, 'twas a cool day. thanks once again, everyone!

Anonyman!


ps. now can watch NC-16 shows! LOL

ello there.

well, things have been somewhat... stagnant these few days. the only interesting thing is that my parents are out of town, they have been since monday, and they'll be back tomorrow night.

it's been pretty cool with just me and the brother at home. we've had to wash and hang and iron our own clothes, and although, yea, it's tiring and hot work at times, if you got a radio playing (which i do) then it's not too bad. i just sing along while hanging the clothes to dry, lol.

another cool thing, is that we get to do one of those dinners where we eat out. by that, i don't mean a simple meal of ba chor mee at the nearby coffeeshop, no, lol. we went to Changi Airport last night to have a meal. no particular planned place, and we chose Sakae Sushi in the end. why Changi Airport? it was late, 9 o'clock, going to 10. this was also my first time eating at Sakae Sushi, and i'd have to say, the food's pretty damn good, heh.

aye, i know all this doesn't sound THAT great, but you gotta understand, we were joking the whole way through. the icing on the cake was the fact that on the way there, my bro put on the Queen Greatest Hits CD (the black one), and we were blasting it and having an awesome time. it's difficult to really explain the feeling i get from these 'outings' i have with my bro, but they really are awesome.

well, heading into the last day of Term 2 Week 1. it's been a so-so week, with some good points and some bad, but overall, everything balances everything else out, and life is beautifully stable.

it be weird mang. (this is just a purely random thought) while i may be affected by shit that flies around in my life (those that directly affect me), and i may cuss while feeling angry or sad, i'm always able to, at the end of it, laugh in the face of adversity. i'm grateful for such a gift, truly am.

well, that's that for now. just a little bit more, and i'm done. same goes for those 2 friends of mine who're finding the going tough. hang in there, dudes. and i'm always available for my friends, to talk, to bitch, to whatever. cheers mang.



Anonyman!

here i am!

well, the past few days, pretty interesting. on the last day of the day camp at Commonwealth, the morning practice was bullshit. the section was horrible, and i was too. i'll be honest, i was incensed at first (not at the section) due to... limited resources, let's call it that (ben will know what i mean), but by the end of the practice had gathered my head and was determined to rectify the situation.

after lunch, had sectionals, which was actually quite productive. when we had to perform our 2 pieces (as did the other 2 schools), we were really good. haven't heard such good music in such a long time, coming from us. what was especially satisfying was the first elephant call (we blew them away, lol), and the 2 fanfares in Der Vogelhandler. Tres Magnifique.

well, that's that for Friday. yesterday, had the SYF showcase thingy. we were only so-so and my sound was off. wasn't feeling too good after the whole thing. BT pointed out my faults in the bandroom after dismissal (was hanging around, waiting for the guys), and i'd have to agree. anyway, went to mac after that to have something to eat, but mostly to chill in an aircon room. BT and Kenneth were also there, and they showed us the DVD of the Jap band playing Der Vogelhandler in a competition. certain things they did, i never thought of. intriguing stuff. throughout the whole viewing, BT kept jabbing me, and now i've got some kind of pain in the lower left side of my abdomen, lol. nothing serious, just feels like a bruise. then again, it might have been caused by the bad fall i had afterwards.

we were going to Tommy's house. the bus came while we were on the bridge; we ran for it. friggin' curb, tripped me up and i went down hard, scrapping my left elbow and knuckles in the process, and giving myself a-bruise-which-looks-like-an-abrasion on my right knee. it's been some time since i got such injuries, heh. anyway, once we got to his place (after buying some food) i went to wash it. we talked by the poolside, as always. the only difference is that, now, Hazmei was with us. he as pretty quiet throughout the night, but it was cool. he was also useful for afters, lol.

Tommy had to go up after a while to do some work, and the rest of us went to the obstacle course at the back. it's not easy to describe what happened and still make it hilarious, so i won't do so, but to make it short and sweet we had a huge laugh at the dumb stuff we did, mostly by Ben lol. thank goodness Hazmei had his camera, and he took a few videos. he'll be sending me them as soon as he can, and i'll have a good time just laughing at our stupidity for years to come, haha.

well, that was pretty much it for yesterday. just hope my wounds recover soon enough; moving my left arm makes the wounded areas sting, not very nice. and the bruise/abrasion on my right knee is extremely sensitive to pain, at the moment. oh well. lol.

till next time, then!




Anonyman!

alright, i'm back. up there is Van Halen's Finish What Ya Started. overall a pretty good song, i particularly like the way the guitar comes in at the beginning, sounds real nice yet at the same time real laid back and relaxed. btw, sorry for the 'mildly risque' pictures of the vid. I POSTED THIS VIDEO PURELY FOR THE SONG, just to make it damn clear. lol

well, recently i've been busy with band. currently in the middle of the 4-day day camp. Commonwealth's new campus looks really good, size is big, and it's even got a friggin' seaview, lol. then again, almost everytime i go to a school besides mine, i get awestruck, lol. to the C'wealth students, they probably don't think their new campus is that great, i dunno. lol.

the whole camp so far has been mostly made up of exchanges and sectionals, so there isn't really much to post on, besides the fact that C'wealth's choice piece, Jericho, is pure awesome-ness. it's that great man, shite. i personally like the middle portion best, the part where it seems (to me) to be depicting some war or battlefield scene. really powerful stuff. hopefully i'll get the opportunity in the future to play this song, hopefully. lol.

i'm not sure, i think i've been withdrawing into myself even more than usual lately. i think it's the stress of SYF. i dunno. just hope the people around understand. i just need more time to myself than usual. and no, to any detractors, that does not mean i'm going to neglect my section, fuck no.

ah, life's getting that little bit more hard. but hell if i'm gonna ever fall. i went through pure, unadulterated hell in Sec3; i can take whatever else life can throw at me. mang, i'm Winston, the Anonyman. and i tell you something; the Anonyman don't fall that easy.

Anonyman!

yea, i just started on this game. pretty fine game in itself, although i am actually stuck at one mission at the moment. lol.

in case you're wondering, i've already finished the Godfather, and just started on another one of my purchases from the Dec hols of last year. yea, i know i take some time to get started, but i've got a busy schedule, so yeah.

Scarface contains copious amounts of swearing, the most i've ever seen/heard in a game, really. the 2nd most expletive-filled game i've played is GTA: San Andreas, and even then that's a far second to Scarface, lol. i suppose it's fitting; after all, the Scarface movie holds the record for the most use of the F word, averaging something like 1.something F words per minute of the film, or something like that. check out IMDB.com for more info, heh.

ah, tomorrow's another band day. will end late, but i don't mind. SYF pieces polishing. 4 more weeks. i can't believe it's already been 3 years and 2 months. time seems to have passed by real quick, like. suddenly i only have another 4 weeks of 'official' band duty. almost seems surreal, how fast time has passed. well, i intend to make this last 4 weeks the best i can. it's crunch time.

regarding other matters, dah, i think i just wanna drop it. i've got too much to think about already this year without this extra added on weight. wish i never opened my mouth in the first place; that would have just left things in a situation where i would be contented, if nothing else. then again, what's been done, has been done. can't change it, so i gotta live with it, and i will.

for some reason i have a feeling that this downside to things isn't only affecting my side. the other side might be too. (shrugs), ah whatever. whatever happens, happens. i've got alot of other things to live for anyway.

Saturday night was one of the best nights i've spent with the Brudders. hell lot of stupid crap was said, and we dutifully laughed our asses off, hahah. kinda 'evil' of us, but, hell, don't give a shit. lol.

well, i'd better be in bed now. cheers, mates.

Anonyman

just a short post, in which i want to say this:

i must be one of the luckiest people in the world, for i got to know and am friends with this guy who goes by the name of Eugene Pang Biao Boon (hope you don't mind me saying your full name, lol).

seriously, as i said in my tribute to tommy a few mths back, if i hadn't got to know you, i'd be dead by now. and you came through for me again, today. cheers mate. You're a real Brudder. =]

also, thanks to Brandon for being the funny ass you are, Hazmei for hanging around, and last but not least, thanks Mabel =]




Untouchable Anonyman.

was just blog-hopping for the hell of it, and i've come to a very... uh... interesting, i suppose, conclusion:

I am FAAARRRRRR from where a person like me should be.

just blog-hopped through some band members' blogs, and they are all similar to quite a huge extent, in terms of content and the hijinks they get up to in their day-to-day lives. then i took that, and compared it to how i view life and how i feel about various things, and i have to say, the contrast is quite startling. i'm different to a fantastically huge extent.

almost every thing i read, and how the blogger felt about about his/her situation, happy or sad, was in direct contrast with how i would have felt about the subject or how i would have approached the subject. it really is very surprising.

come to think of it, how i've survived 3+ years under such circumstances should be an almost impossible task.

don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that those whose blogs i've been to are wrong in how they approach life or anything like that, i'm just saying that how i would have viewed the same event would be a polar opposite to their points of view.

it would be impossible to list all the ways that i'm different; there are too many. but i think i can put the whole thing really succintly in this one sentence: Above all else, I am considerably more cerebral than the general population (in my age group). i tend to think much more than others, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing, under different circumstances.

should i be a philosopher when i grow up? i do wonder. although i definitely don't see that much of a future in such a profession, $$-wise, it would probably fit my personality best. i suppose this is a reason why i'm so 'zi-bi', as many people who know me would describe me. i'm thinking for half of my waking hours.

while people might say 'stop thinking so much; just go do something!', i wouldn't be able to bring myself to do such a thing. i like being lost in thought, whether about mundane things like what i'm going to do later, or about something extremely intellectual, like (for example) how the way some music is played can affect different people in so many different ways, emotionally, i mean.

despite this more bookish side to me, i'm still an ardent football fan, and do take much pleasure in playing the game itself. i don't know what i am. i seem to be a jack-of-all-trades.

i think, the biggest problem for me to solve during my 'lost in thought' moments would be to solve the enigma that is me. i don't even know what i am, exactly. i can't categorize myself into any one group/type of people. perhaps i'm in a group of my own? that would be interesting.

i guess, i shouldn't be too upset if i'm misunderstood in the future. if i don't even fully understand myself, what hope do other people have in the same task? heh.

well, this is one of my more 'philosophical' posts. i believe it is somewhat wordy, but, as before, inspiration hits at the weirdest times for me, and when i have inspiration, the words will just flow.

it really is a weird time for such a thing to happen to me. it's friggin' 11.30pm, i should be in bed. but then, just blog-hopping triggered some thought reflex in my brain, and here i am, typing out my thoughts. i'm one complicated bastard. lol.

to end things off, i'd just like to assure that i'm not belittling anyone or how they do things. i, above all else, believe that everybody has their right to live their life the way they want. so, although i might sound elitist in this post, i have absolutely no intention of doing so.

well, next post will probably be a more regular one. till then, folks. =)





Enigmatic Anonyman.

i'm not sure what it is, but i'm fatigue-ing, and quite abit at that.


well, concert's over. not really in any mood to talk about it; it was so-so for me. disappointed with my solos, but then again it was under circumstances quite beyond my control, so my feeling is somewhere in between disappointed and 'oh well, what could i have done?'-ness, if you know what i mean.

just another week till the school term's up, can't wait. holidays will be filled with band stuff, and, although the schedule IS pretty hardcore, for some reason i'm quite looking forward to it. i think it's cos i have a want and need to prove myself again.

frankly, the only real disappointment i ever feel is with myself, so when i'm feeling down or stuff like that, 99% of the time, the problem lies within myself.

now and then i do think about that, but there really isn't much i can do about it, and anyway, i think my sec3 year has matured my mind to such a degree where the only things i'm really concerned about at the moment is my section, and myself. section-wise, it's the usual practice, and level of the section. for the 'myself' part, however, it's all about finding inner peace.

with the way things are at the moment, i'm not getting enough inner peace. not enough time to myself. what i think i really need now, is a cool night, with 2 or 3 friends (specific friends, i'm thinking of the exact people i would like around), a cool drink, and no barriers or restrictions regarding what we talk about. in short, i think i need a bitching session, of sorts. i don't know. i'm not sure what my head is thinking, but i think i'm thinking about the old meet-ups by the pool, with the Brudders.

sadly, not many such opportunities come along these days. just gotta find an alternative outlet, i guess. but the correct set of circumstances for such an outlet to present itself... that's very rare.

what i mean is, there must be certain specific and ideal circumstances for these outlets to occur. bleah, i'm just talking in circles. but i think you would know what i mean.

well, 9 more games, and i hope we win the title, heh.

Anonyman.

ok, just came back from band prac.

past few days i was virtually knocked out from flu, and it feels shit when you gotta stay home, in bed when there are things to be done. oddly enough, i DO mean school and work and so on and so forth. while i'm like any regular student, one who does detest school work, homework and anything like that, i feel that at the end of everything, school gives my life meaning.

after all, it is only in school where you make most of your friends; it is only in school where you actually have something to do, to fill our lives for now, in our schooling years. hence, i think i've come to the conclusion that i have a love-hate relationship with school. hate it for the homework and all the usual things, love it for the sole reason (but a very important one at that) that it gives my life meaning.

so, i'm looking forward to completing the last week of term 1 fully, with no absent days. been missing too much. goddamn flu, and god damn you too, rainy weather. lol.

well, concert's tomorrow. above all else, i'm going to enjoy myself on stage, and not get frightened or over-anxious or anything like that. haha, i have 2 solos man, and for damn sure i'm gonna play them, and play them well.

most of the songs are really enjoyable too, so if anyone doesn't find the songs interesting or fun, that person is dead inside. lol.

well, Liverpool vs Man Utd in just about one and a half hour's time. i hope one of the following 2 things happens:

1. United play badly but, because Graham Poll is refereeing, Pool are denied 2 clear cut penalties while Man Utd score from their only shot on target in the whole game, or, preferably,

2. Utd play cavalier football and make a mockery of Pool's unbeaten home record, beating the Scousers 3-0.


hahaha, ok, realistically speaking, i'm just hoping we manage to somehow nick all 3 points of them, and establish a 12 point lead at the top of the table. also, i hope Chelsea somehow contrive to lose against Pompey, and then Utd romp to the title. bwahahahaha. lol.

might come back for an update after the match, maybe.




Cheers!
