January 2010

First, I learned that I INDEED cannot expect too much from someone whom I know is unreliable. I can expect something, but not too much. This is not the good part, but still, I learned something.

Second, ate SUBWAY with my brother and shopped fresh fruit with him afterwards. we chat about many things and it was fun. One most significant part for me is that when he commented on someone-whom-I-cannot-expect-too-much-from (XD) : "Other than physics he really is a fool in anything yah? It is a common sense, what... you are not supposed to (only) talk about other girl when you are with your girlfriend. This is ridiculous, you didn't meet for 2 weeks and after such time you spent only 30 minutes face to face and all he get to say is 'the Chinese girl with whom I spent time with yest was pretty loh..heheh..'" Even my lil bro knows that. I think it is not too much if I think he is so insensitive, or he doesnt care at all? After today I really don't want to care... anyway, I love my little brother! gonna treat him Bak Kut Teh. not because he supported me, more because it was really nice of him to spend his time with me today.

Third, had fun chit chat with Jaslyn. oso found a great japanese stall in PGP.!!

Fourth, meet great people, Gloria and Rudy, who made and compose 2 good songs for competition and want me to sing in one of their song. After such effort during the last minute towards deadline of submission, we failed to submit one of the song. But for me, this is a great experience. It is a very high appreciation to me, for them wanting me to sing the song. I did make mistake, but I tried the best I could because I know how much this means for them. Afterwards, have dinner and chat about lotsa stuff. blablahblah.... I found my piano teacher!!!!! Rudy is a piano tutor and he can give me lesson at reasonable price. OMG!!! got so excited about this.! Also have a quality chat with Gloria. She is a very nice girl. Our conversation opened my mind and excited me. We talked about social life, about travelling, about working experience... etc etc.. She is smart, eiii.

Fifth, met an ex-exchange senior at the bus stop on the way back to PGP. Also have quality chat. Learned from his experience in living university life. And I realized that I have a lot of chance to improve myself in various fields in NUS.

Last but not the least,, chat with my ibu on the phone. I told her the story of the day, and she was so happy to listen to it. Great.. great..

OMG, oso, the moon is full and bright and clearly visible right in front of me through the window..!!!!
wah.. an ciang~

am so thankful today.

One of my greatest day in life

interesting facts about him, found in wikipedia:


Yanni (born Yiannis Hrysomallis (pronounced Chrysomallis), (GreekΓιάννης Χρυσομάλλης, classical transcription Giannis Chrysomallis), on November 14, 1954 in Kalamata, Greece) is a self-taught pianist, keyboardist, and composer. After receiving a B.A. in psychology, he would instead seek a life in music though he had no formal training and could not read a note.
He earned Grammy nominations for his 1992 album, Dare to Dream, and the 1993 follow-up, In My Time. His breakthrough success came with the 1994 release of Yanni Live at the Acropolis, deemed to be the second best-selling music video of all time.[1] Yanni has since performed live in concert before in excess of two million people in more than 20 countries around the world. He has accumulated more than 35 platinum and gold albums globally, with sales totaling over 20 million copies.[1] Yanni is considered to be one of the top fundraisers of all time for public television. His compositions have been included in all Olympic Games television broadcasts since 1988, and his music has been used extensively in television and televised sporting events. His music is frequently described as "new age", though he prefers the term "contemporary instrumental".[2] The regents of the University of Minnesota conferred upon Yanni the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. He attended the University of Minnesota where he successfully obtained B.A. in psychology and an honorary Ph.D in music.

oso, he was a great swimmer. uoow
interesting!

YANNIYANNIYANNI-in my head

I guess the head has explained itself XD

honestly, that's what I am feeling today. I am supposed to finish my lab report and while preparing for it my iTunes play Keiko Matsui's Trees.. OH, I  am so lovin it!!!!! then I moved my fingers and closed my eyes, as if I could play (someday I will!!!!!!!). Then I was reminded of Yanni, my favourite composer. I used to listen to his songs at home. I got his live VCD. It has been a long time that I do not watched them again. So  I searched through youtube and find them..


GOSH... His music is so amazing.... Call me lebay, but it seems like my soul is dancing while I am listening to them. Here is one of his best perfomance.. It was in Acropolis (1994). I do really think this is the best live performnce of yanni I have watched so far.  LOVE IT!

This must be the music that God listens to, AWESOME!

Another one, outstanding bass and violin

I envy those who came to this concert.. XD I wish someday I could see Yanni performs, LIVE!

Thanks to my papa who bought Yanni's live VCD at 1995. Glad to know Yanni's music :)




these past 2 days, evils got into my thought and conquered it. seems like they are having a party inside, of course , with "HAPPY ENVYING other girls, Brigitta" as the theme. I see them craving the main dish : "I am not as good as she is" shortcake.

get out!!! X(

A quick review on what's hippie today:


First of all, I had my confession and really joyful afterwards!


Father Joe came back from Macau and gave a very inspiring class today. He introduced to me a book written recently by Pope Benedict XVI and read (and changed the hearts of!) many technocrats in the world. It is "Caritas in Veritates". It expressed the deep and brilliant thoughts of Pope Benedict on social issues. About how we should care about the world, on why we value every single human person for their dignity... it is so KENA to my heart. But the words and language are very chim oi.. Really need Father Joe to explain them to me. 


Today I had a great time studying relativity.So joyful and interesting, although I went a bit slow and tangled.. Wish I can keep up


and oso... went to NUANSA audition, the first time I met the other casts. Have not yet got close with them.  maybe later.


I love today!

She should have listened to her mother
"Have you known there lies a cliff, you must not jump in"


The cliff...
is not that he is not good enough
that cliff,
is because the gap is too wide to cross


is it too much? 
she has no idea
but it feels so real now, it seems that gap is so big now
she had a fight just now
just because of a matter of taking nap and things like that
reminds me of Yoshirin and Michi of Crayon Shnchan
funny.. but so silly they are


she wants him the way she wants him to be
she thought what's wrong with her having a good vision of her future life
not that she fears of troubles in the future
she only wants to do the best so that whatever goes around later, the regret is neither hers or his


too much different, she sighs...
he said, "I love you" but she is never sure
how much love is love?
it seems they "speak" a very different love language
he thought R is love
but she does not feel so


she does not feel love
when she did not received the help she needed 
he said "how am I supposed to know when you did not tell?"
she thought " I do not call it love if I need to ask for it everytime I need help. my servants do things that way, but we are another one."
start with asking lah, at least


she does not feel love
when everytime they went out she is the one who had to arrange for everything
he does not like going out and she is like a wave
he said "I do not know traffic, how am I supposed to arrange it?"
she thought "you never try, dear.. you never put any significant effort to actually please me"


she does not feel love
everytime they had fight
when she tried to pointed out his shortcomings
he could always make a defense
he could always find reasons
he thought he is being reasonable of the things that he did or things he did not
but she thinks, "we always search for reasons. and know what, we could always find one. for  every good deeds, there is always a reason for not doing so. But if we do not fight it and leave it just like that, there is no effort. What is it compared to a coward?"
it makes her looked at him in a disdain


really, she hopes she just thinks too much
she hopes it is just her that has not realize how sweet he is 
because if it is so
she will run back and tell him she is sorry
he is not a bad guy
if it is so, it will be much easier for her, to hate him and leave him just like that
he is good
it is just that they are two very different souls
differ in the way of thinking
caring
interests
making friends
being sweet
pleasing people
loving 


difference is needed though
the gap is needed for you to complete the puzzle 
so that the pieces fit with each other
she has been hiding her piece
hoping that she could cut it down and match it with him
she is just too proud to do so now
she thinks her piece is so beautiful
but now that she has shown it to him
she feels that the gap is too large
they doesn't fit anymore
...


she does not like this
she feels this is so much waste
