nard’s life
Aruarian Dance - Nujabes
well im getting enlisted into the army later at 9.30am ltr… its 3.12am now… haha gonna try to keep this real short so i can go get some rest…
The One up there seriously have been pampering me…. =D the europe trip was fabulous (missing my little poop-poop monster)… the 2weeks interim from post-europe to getting conscripted into the army was pure bliss too… well gonna upload photos on facebook of what i did in this 2 weeks that i’m back… been having lotsa fun… chalets, b’daes, stay-overs….. real thankful… all smiles~
frens and family all seemed alittle perturbed with the idea of me entering army… alot of them were worried that i wont be able to cope with army life… some tease me for being too much of a mummy’s boy till now… haha honestly speaking… im kinda nonchalent about getting conscripted… let it sweep pass me i will… 2 years of restricted life aint that bad when i have had 2 decades of uptmost liberty… =D
to those worried souls… i am in fact looking forward to army. =D just take it as im going off on yet another tour… =D
went to buy a kuku nokia non-camera phone with pei just now in the evening… haha kinda cute… its a coloured phone with flash light… haha $70 only for a 1st hand phone… didnt felt like i actually purchased a phone when i took the box over from the salesman…. went to buy my toiletries… spent 100 odd dollars today… kinda weird… really dun feel like as if im entering army… maybe this is what they call… being matured is all about…. such novelties seem not to excite me anymore… lols
oh ya wanna add… i kinda like running errands for my mum… grasping the $10 bill and walking over to the mini-mart… and walking back with the change in hand is kind of sth real blissful isnt it? haha
the youth knows not how age thinks….. with increased scoops on life…perceptions changes…..
time is of non-existence between family… go ponder this… have u ever felt weird when someone commented sth about yr mum, sis or bro… like they have grown slimmer/ fatter/ older but u cant seem to make out the difference? haha imprinted impressions……
i am who i am… therefore i am… “Being” is so very often neglected.
=D been telling alot of ppl to keep their smiles… haha feeling sorta isolated here in sweden though i have my sis’s family here with me… hmm sweden is without doubt a very beautiful country… but i seriously do wanna get back to sg… the food… the ppl… just aint the same here… without doubt… i have always dreamt of leading a life as laidback as this… and i still very much relish it… just that… i dun think im very much ready for this luxury as of yet… wait till im much older…….
awatched alot of online shows since im so free… there’s this chinese movie… 盛夏光年… deep show… but i like this particular song in it more… "Mayday" actually sampled the melody from Minnie Ripperton’s Loving You… very aptly written lyrics… i italised my fave part of the song… haha
五月天- 拥抱
脱下长日的假面 奔向梦幻的疆界
南瓜马车的午夜 换上童话的玻璃鞋
让我享受这感觉 我是孤傲的蔷薇
让我品尝这滋味 纷乱世界的不了解
昨天太近 明天太远 默默聆听那黑夜
晚风吻尽 荷花叶 任我醉倒在池边
等你清楚看见我的美 月光晒干眼泪
那一个人~ 爱我
将我的手~ 紧握
抱紧我~ 吻我~ 喔爱~ 别走~~
隐藏自己的疲倦 表达自己的狼狈
放纵自己的狂野 找寻自己的明天
向你要求的誓言 就算是你的谎言
我需要爱的慰借 就算那爱已如潮水
昨天太近 明天太远 默默聆听那黑夜
晚风吻尽 荷花叶 任我醉倒在池边
等你清楚看见我的美 月光晒干眼泪
那一个人~ 爱我
将我的手~ 紧握
抱紧我~ 吻我~ 喔爱~ 别走~
那一个人~ 爱我
将我的手~ 紧握
抱紧我~ 吻我~ 喔爱~ 别走~~
抱紧我~ 吻我~ 喔爱~ 别走
抱紧我~ 吻我~ 喔爱~

Mid-summer night dream…..
Hmm here’s a long overdue post which I can’t seem to finish… haha oh well… I just can’t seem to be able to sum up so much thought/ events into words… blame it on my limited vocabularies… haha here goes….
SNYO’s Italy tour- 9th-19th July 2008 (add me on facebook to see the pics…. uploaded tonnes there… lols- musicutopia@gmail.com)
Emm I honestly enjoyed this trip… not cause its Europe… but cause of the people I came with… SNYO! Lols super cliché~ but its true~ nvr knew that the old fart me will actually grow to be attached to any orchestra… haha so here goes… a kinda detailed yet nonsensical walkthrough to what I did in Italy~
there was the flight and muahahaha I got 2 aisle seats all to myself… cause I booked my flight separately from the orchestra and it so happened no one got allocated to the seat beside mine… and thank God cause… hmm it’s a 12 hours flight….. though it’s an SQ flight… economy seats can be a serious pain in the ass…. U just can’t seem to get a comfortable position no matter how u squirm… lols plane’s vegetarian meals were great~ had a good rest~ watch some random shows… this number by Sandra Bullock =D “While you were sleeping” was great~ simplistically nice~ and hahaha I tried all the liqueur and wine they had on the menu…. Got wasted and went back to sleep~ woke-up and we have reached Milano Airport~ ^^
Day 1 we were brought to some tourist spot in Milan! Walked around and there were these niggers/ Italians offering “Feed the Pigeons” services with their broad smiley faces… haha scammers alert~! They demanded 20 euros after offering us dried corns to feed the pigeons… hmmm lucky me, when they demanded the 20 euros from me, I just gave them 5 euros and walked away… it was the lowest denomination I had with me but nvrtheless… I got my pics feeding the pigeons! Haha some poor yo kids really did paid the full amount… haha imagine paying SG$50 to feed our crows back in sg… ahhh well… and then broke into our small cliques and went exploring… hmmm nothing much… unless you’re a fan of LV and Gucci…. Had our meals at quite a quaint Italian café… enjoyed the Italian barista’s hospitality… great margheritas and cappuccino… then miffie wanted to go see some cathedral and we went… and oh boy~! Everything I have heard/ read about an authentic church was brought right forth to my eyes… the sheer “Divine proportion/ Scale” of the cathedral… the in-numerous stained glass… the murals….the fenestrated slits… hmm was kind of taken aback by the sheer size of the cathedral’s interior… anw~ after that… we had some sort of guided tour into a castle, nothing much there and we went onto the coach…. travelled a couple of hours and we checked into Montecatini Terme. =D and alas~! My room mates… haowei and wengsiong~ haha interesting characters… REALLY! ^^
Day 2 rehearsal at the hotel! =D been longing to have rehearsal ever since the pre-tour concert we had at esplanade… we went to this sheltered spot that was just beside the swimming pool…
we went to Lucca next, and AHA~! Went cycling… very fun… took lotsa shots whilst cycling… got to know the “haowei’s sister’s clique” hmmm haha was at some sorta cycling pit-stop…. Went down the slope and had ice cream… got to know emmm… weile (haowei’s sis), Carolyn, yunwei, mummy mak( gosh forgot her name, LOL), another group came by an…. Melissa( whom I adorely call mickey cause of her shades~)… Pamela (teeny weeny primary sch kid) being “tongpang” by yuze( big decent looking dude who still amazes me with his emmm gossipy nature? LOL) and the in-famous Mongolian girl… =D olehuuuu *weird howl… then we went to this pastry/bakery boutique… haha had this fabulous strawberry tart and we bought another barley tart(which seemingly looks like chocolate) as takeaway back to hotel.
Day 3, Florence… we visited the vettori workshop where they make string instruments… totally switched off… was thinking more towards the likes of marimba bars when I see all those wood pieces rather than violins and cellos… lols the Uffizi gallery museum was emmm…. Well wasn’t in the mood to walk and appreciate Italian renaissance art… went to a café inside the museum with yihong and jinhui… lols yihong was busy taking pics at in-animate stuff and jinhui was busy being a statue -_-~ lols and I really do mean a statue… he’s one tough nut… been trying to take a decent pic of him but… he just refuses… he’s tall, likes to walk alone and emmm dun seem to talk much…. statue loh… he told me he’s camera shy later on… -_-~ nvrtheless im grateful to him… haha he helped me got my bag’s pass back… lucky me… my hedgren bag would have been history… lols
Day 4 Performance Day 1. Went to the Leaning tower of Pisa for sight-seeing in the morning… really enjoyed my morning there… superb weather and great views… got to know my very own “Jap porn star” Emily here… lols funny girl… she left her bottle in her handbag and her ipod and hp got drenched… haha sat down on the field with her and wengsiong and well… basically just sat there throughout the entire Pisa tour.
Had our 1st performance at Spa Tettuccio… was so proud of remus and y.o. after the performance… well I heaved a sigh of relief right after liangzhu… =D thank god everything went well…
Day 5 Siena, guided tour… boring…. I just hate guided tours… haha maybe I just dun like to be led by my nose and being told stuffs I’m not interested about/ already know… was kinda cranky and emo over sth…… hmmm shd not talk about it here… packed lunch was crap… I fed my rock-hard sandwich to the birds…. then in the evening we went to spa tettuccio to catch AJO’s performance… nice repertoire but their deliverance was kinda platonic… some call it flat… lols
Day 6 went to St. Stefano church for rehearsal, and gosh… pardon me my Lord, the church smells like poop… I think it’s cause of the underground bunk it had… very bad ventilation system plus ITS OUR MAKESHIFT BACKSTAGE AREA… lols we changed there…left our bags there… my suit smelled like poop when I returned to our hotel… I just can’t understand how can the Italians stand such a defilement of the Lord’s house… visited the Academia Gallery… bought some small stuffs… I like my Firenze Academia Galleria lanyard…=D later in the evening’s performance was great… once again… very proud of remus and yo… William tell was very well received… lols kudos to the brasses~!
Day 7 went to where AJO was staying to rehearse with them. Nothing much…. Actually its cause I can’t rmb what I did… lols
Day 8 Checked into some hotel in Milan… well this is the kinda hotel I’m more accustomed to… beginning to find myself weird but nvrtheless… long story… lols it’s the last performance/tour day… emotions were running high… performance that night wasn’t that great… in fact I think it was the worst take we had… but the Italian audience lurved us still… lols tears everywhere backstage…. Went to bed very early….Too early I must say… Kinda in denial that it’s coming to the end of the tour…..
Day 9 off to Milano airport… hmm was really un-comfortable with the idea of parting and things coming to an end… didn’t helped much that I’m not going back with yo on the same flight…. going over to Sweden to see my 3 month old niece (it’s all for my little babe of a niece =D) I think the parting blues really set in when I saw them (leening, remus, wenyi, jinjun, weile, haowei, wengsiong) checking in…. well it was then that I realised… “this is it, I guess.” Haha stayed on in the airport ALONE for a couple of hours den took my solo-flight to Copenhagen… thank God that ah ge, bibi hazel and jiefu was already there waiting to fetch me… really grateful… =D
Hmmm there’s so much more that I have not mentioned… but I know I have truly enjoyed myself… I know snyo is nvr gonna be the same again cause so many ppl is leaving after this trip… me included… but ohh well… it’s the memory we had together that counts! I know snyo have left a smile in me and im happy with it~ all smiles~! Missing the crew of SNYO Italy 9th -19th July 2008 like crazy~! Thank God for every single one of u~!
—————————————————————————————————

Kinda ghey at times but… haha and haowei, PLS DUN HUM ANYMORE K. lols 1 year of “in-activity” is kinda pathetic… lols and wengsiong… hmm sry for being kinda whiny during rehearsals… haha I noe I can be sorta a nag… well I promise I will show u how to wound mallets when im back in sg k…

Haha not sure… kinda sure u rmb… since u said u have photographic memory…. Haha see u round e corner soon k… I want my poster~! And my sg souvenirs… LOL
forlorn blog… =D
haha been freaking long since i felt like ranting… hmmm flying off to milan in 2 days…. going there for some music festival then gonna find my little niece in sweden and off to tour europe…. kinda a major thing for me as i have nvr been out of singapore for such a long period b4… 2 months yeah!!! my trips overseas usually last only for a week….
honestly… feel kinda nonchalant bout e trip now… dunnoe y… maybe im just drained from playing in musart percs ensemble… utter mistake for me to engage myself with that group… haha before any of the members there go bitch arnd again… i havta clarify a point… i dun work well with socialites… playing in that ensemble is just so mentally taxing… the intricately conniving music director (actually he can’t be considered to be a music director, more aptly, he shd be labelled a rhythm director/ baton-waver) is just so…. well, aiyah i just hate ppl who talk with a glided tongue… com’on and just shoot what u havta say… anw i was showing lotsa attitude to the baton-waver over the past few weeks and am glad im over and done with musart percs ensemble… and 22 years of my life, i’ve come to know myself pretty well… im a very judgemental person and most of the time, my feeling about ppl/ things are pretty accurate… how far can the ensemble go under his baton? his knowledge about musical structures and melodic hierachy are all intuitional… and he deem bodily mvts are more important than the music itself… no wonder he seem to prefer the crude-r players… i will nvr perf with respect under such a kinda musician/ much less pract my parts… to think i once idolise his style of playing… angeline’s lingo seem highly apt now," well, ppl do grow up." but obviously there are good things about the ensemble too…. emmm i personally salute to the ensemble leader, willy for his seriously undeterred commitment to the ensemble… he’s the backstage guy that get all the admin and logistic things done… fatherly character…
was still pretty hyped up about the italian trip a few days ago… haha but at least i noe im gonna enjoy myself when im over there… percussion section’s kinda united now… considering there’s only 3 of us (plus one more harpist?)… we even got colour/theme of the day tees k! LOL
lotsa reflections done… i rmb back then in sec sch, my form teacher asked me to write a short description about myself… i wasnt able to do it… didnt really noe myself that well… now i can and here goes…
im an extremely straightforward and critical kinda person. appreciate honesty in ppl. i would rather spend my day with a rival than a friend that is not trueful… have less than 25 ppl that i consider friends (1/4 sec sch, 1/4 childhood/ church, 1/2 music circle)… LOL pathetic… but at least i know they are considered friends in my utopic world… the rest are all either acquaintances or scumbags… i can be outright bitchy if i choose to… as proven by myself to myself over the past few weeks… but i think if u earn my trust, im pretty much a very good fren to have… LOL *shameless but I’m just that kinda reciprocal guy… hope u get what i mean…oh ya and I look super dao/pissed/arrogant when I dun smile… I think that runs in my family… and ppl always tell me that I look like im constantly in deep thoughts… emmmm honestly speaking, I think my mind is just still/blank most of the time… I dun ponder much when ppl are around me … Dislike interruptions u see… lols
anyway… enough bout all the negative stuff… did I mentioned that I scooted off to work as a trainee in newyork newyork and gelare both for a month each? Lols so fun… learnt how to make latte and cappuccino and all the beverages there… no wonder there’s actually a name for kopi boi in Italian… coffee barista… making a cuppa good coffee requires so much knowledge and skills… lols the coffee crema, the steamed milk… the milk foam… the coffee beans… so many things la…. But I think I make pretty decent cappuccino…. Cause a couple of ang mohs commented me on my coffees k~ I also dug ice creams and rolled waffle cones… fun~ nvr been out there to work in society b4… seriously fun… but I think all my colleagues must think im weird… cause im constantly exclaiming how fun work is… lols…
been giving tuition to kids too. Very rewarding job… think im doing a very good job teaching my kids…. Lols have 2 pecussion students too… lols so weird… of all ppl to find as a percs tuitor… me? But I guess I have abit of stuff to share with them so far ba… yup, that’s one happy aspect of my life now~
and playing in SNYO is getting more and more fun… I think its like a glass of red wine being left out to oxidise… gets more aromatic as time goes by… but to everyone’s knowledge, it will not stay aromatic forever… so im gonna savour every moment of it right now~ this coming Tuesday is the Pre-tour concert~ 8th july 2008, 7.30 pm. Really amazing concert cause the orchestra is playing as a whole this time~ by whole I mean having the sense of unity between each another in an ensemble… repertoire includes, Butter lovers, Kelly Tang Sym. Suite, Dvorak sym no 6, Verdi’s La Forza…. And Rossini’s willaim tell overture….
off to europe on the 9th July, midnight flight~ coming back at the end of august~ will upload loads of photos when im there~ =D feel so much better after ranting on till here… having bitching khakis do help in compiling all these though… lols thanks yeah~ angie, fenfen, chris and emm my-shimei’s-big-butt-lover? Lols
God Bless~ =D
little hazel is out! haha so proud of her…. sweeetest baby ever…. too bad she’s in sweden now if not im gonna spoil her rotten… haha
http://www.littlehazelho.myphotoalbum.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=album04
that’s the photo album of her and my sis….
i pray to God that everything will go smoothly so i will be able to see my little princess in july after the italy trip….
on the down note…. my final recital is over and…. welllll… i think i did a pretty sucky performance…. though i accidentally saw my marks from the examiner while collecting my music sheets from them….. it was the highest i ever scored in lasalle for my performance module…. but then again… that feeling of knowing that u have not done a good job is very haunting….. it was the performance of tambourin chinois that woke me from my lazy slumber…. like hell since when did i play tambourin chinois like some elementary sch kid….. back then when i played it with lile… it was pure magic la….. now…. pure distaste…
i realised that my attitude towards music making have changed in this 2 years to come…. i have become complacent and ill-disciplined towards my craft…. i actually sat down in my studio and did a think-tank on y has my attitude changed…. was pointing fingers to alot of scums and ppl… den realised it all boils down to myself…
lols my resolution for the graduation… to take on a more disciplined attitude towards music making and to remain trueful to myself. i noe it sounds all corny but i was rather irritated with myself… i have become this hugh sorrowful bugger that is constantly giving myself excuses to under-perform…. should my past mentors see me performing now…. im sure they will be utterly disappointed with me….
sching days
haha my sching days is gonna take a break soon~ gonna finish my 3 yr studies in lasalle in 2 weeks time… hmmm dunnoe y… but im starting to be afraid of the ppl in sch… well for starters… the ppl whom i think i know ain’t exactly who they seem to be…
all those things happening in sch… well, if i hadn’t been talking to a few of my chummy class-mates… i guess i will just graduate without knowing anything ba… all those so called scandals in sch… student’s amorous affairs… teacher having ulterior motives… and the those plotting behind one’s back and jeopardising ppl’s job…. well im not exactly comfortable talking about such stuff…. so pardon my incoherent speech….
emmm i was just thinking hell seriously knows no fury in a women/ man’s scorn… is that appropriate?…. hmmm
i do not know where to start…. there are those whom i have always respected as my senior who turned out to be kind of a jerk…. for one, talking behind one’s back and causing someone’s his/her profession is highly un-ethical… if you’re serious about solving a problem, you would sit down and confront with the parties involved and not stab their back with the higher authorities.
second, to start a rumour cause of a petty adolscent pit-of-jealousy…. haiiz i actually thought that this gal-in-question was kinda hot… nope… not anymore, a women with such vengence aint cute at all..
putting the scandals aside… there are more domestic matters that scares me in sch too… emm take for example… these 3 frens a,b & c whom are always together…. they will have their lunch tgt… pract into the late night tgt and much more… tgt…. a & b happen to have taken their friendship to a higher platform… and so a gives her share of the sch’s amenities to b, which is again not ethical…. and somehow someone complained to the lecturers and a & b thinks it’s c that lodged the complaint…. and then they went around bitching about c….. AND the next min i saw them…. the 3 of them were happily chit-chatting at the lobby… on what grounds such friendship exist i truly have no idea….
and there are the foundation "kids"…. yup im calling them kids for… welll… not that i think im sorta matured dude trying to throw his age about… but…. these foundation kids seems to be like a whole load jam-packed of the a, b & c kind of ppl. i personally witnesses such occurrence on a daily basis… best pals bitching about each another behind their back…. and the cycle just goes on and on and on…. i was just thinking shd i be caught in such a kinda class…. i would be sucha a pitiable soul… for i nvr survive well in a bitching community… i tend to run out of bitching topics that is…. i have met top exponents in the bitching arena… and well… im sucha small fry… hahaha
and not that im a social animal that’s chummy with everyone in the sch…. on the contrary… im kinda considered the anti-social chap who well…. seems to only be bothered with his marimba and his clich…. im kinda very comfortable with my level 2 classmates for they are decent ppl who too pretty much shares the same sentiments as me.
on a lighter note~ baby hazel and marcus…. uncle nard is waiting for u yeah~! ^^
exams r coming and i have roughly 1 months time to get all my pieces sorted out… lols… i think im gonna get very erratic as usual… haha light years~
playing timps in synto and snares in the main… lols the 2 instruments i so swore was the only instruments i will ever play back then in swo’s years… amazing how playing these 2 drums now kinda unsettles me… haha
just to clarify sth… i do listen to techno music… haha unexpected huh… just that im selective to mindless techno and techno with taste… its totally un-called for to go labeling any impromtu dumchadumchadumcha as techno… well go listen to ryuichi sakamoto’s yellow magic orchestra take on techno then u will havta go hide yr face in a hole like some orstrich…. dongfeng is nice… ymo can be said to be the predecessor of any mindless techno junkies wanna-be in the 1980s-present la…
and im gonna continue my sarcasm on the ost of some movie called leap years…. its a total ripped off from ryuichi sakamoto’s merry Xmas mr lawrence …. haha yup that’s two things off my back….
grateful to how life is getting on… thank you thy Lord.
watched a couple of films with really random ppl… Lile…. haha datou jie…. and angela… we went to watch L saves the world… fantastic show… yup… go watch it for ytself… meet the spartans too… mindless… and some s’pore show…. cant rmb the title… yet another mindless show… haha
went to nusso concert ytd with nelly… haha the cello concerto was dissapointing… i think the soloist’s instrument lacks depth… well mr lim always tells me to pin point the reason whenever i like/dislike a performance and not limit my vocabs to i like/ i dun like… haha nelly went home with some level 1 girl whose orientation is highly suspicious… didnt exactly felt good about it but well… life’s as such…. ain’t any bed of roses im born into yeah….
so much things i wanted to blog… but im seriously being distracted by my aunt’s deepp-fried "potato in beancurd skin"… haha so tatas~~ ohhh and to add… its ming’s bdae today… so there’s gonna be a feast~! haha
