Lazy pig syndrome!

I woke up at 12.30 today, well actually it could be worse if not for my brother playing damn loudly on MY guitar.

It pains me every time i see someone who plays in such a 'rough' manner. Imagine how the guitar feels!

Totally forgot that i was supposed to go and watch the tpjc guitar/band concert until i saw CC's msg. Well, their songs were simple but they executed it almost perfectly! To put it simply, it was great! If only MJ has their collection of songs, it sures seems way nicer than the pieces we are usually given.

Went to Simpang Bedok after that with Le Dung, King, Weasley and his friend and ate Roti John. Why is Roti John called Roti John?

From Wikipedia - Roti' is the Hindi, Urdu and Malay word for bread, and more generally for any bread-based or bread-like food, including sandwiches and pancakes. The origin of the 'John' in the name is allegedly due to the Western origin of the Baguette and the tomato sauce used in the dish. During the years of British Colonial rule, all Caucasians and Westerners were colloquially and affectionately referred to as 'John' in Malay, and as such, the nickname of 'Roti John' (literally 'John Bread') was easily arrived at. 0.o

Oh wells, guitar bbq is on monday, HOPE to see a large number of people going! Time to sleep and wake up to a whole day of mugging! Ciaoz

Time is running out...

*ring ring!*

Oh boy! It's the start of a brand new day! Well, waking up at 12 means half the day is already gone. Seriously lagging behind in my studies and my procrastinating is getting from bad to worse.

Many others have already started up their engines, gotten past that initial inertia required to start revision and are moving full steam ahead. I'm still stuck right at the starting line. Starting from tomorrow, going to chiong like mad.

These past 2 afternoons/nights have been pre-u seminar food duty. I suddenly realised how cleaners suffer and yet never complained at all. The participants can just dump their rubbish on the table and walk off even though the rubbish bins were next to them. But then again, who wasn't guilty of such an act before. Shall keep this lesson in mind for a very long time.

NTU wasn't as nice as i thought it would look though going through a hostel experience is something i want to experience when i go to a university, provided i make it. It's going to be an ardous 6 months ahead and if i really want to do well, it's high time to start mugging.

Rahman is leaving after the holidays and from what i heard, many classes are going to lose their favourite teachers too. It's seriously a bad time when we need them to push and scold us for our A levels but in a sense, our own self discipline has to be strong too.

Somebody once told me, " It's your own future, you are still able to control it and it depends on whether you want to do something with it. Studying now and forgoing everything is hard but in the end, you will reap something even more."

Yeah, Darren is going to change. Remember this day!

Revived!

It's been a long time since i blogged.

Nowadays i find that life just flashes by in a jiffy.

Chinese New Year performance, TJ performance, Guitar Cip and even elections of the new guitar exco. Somehow, i'm starting to stop and think about how my past year has really been. So many new experiences, happy moments and yet at the same time, sadness and loneliness.

Maybe this will be the new place i pour into since I have stepped down and no longer am the chairman.

Anyway, been really havoc this past week going out and playing till quite late each day though i really am supposed to be mugging for the upcoming midyears.


My beloved TJ performers whom i had been so harsh on. Thanks for all your commitment and support! Arvin, Benjamin, Shermaine ( i got it correct!), Rosanne, Kai Ping, Hui Ping, Hakim, Nicholas, Junhe, Danny, Chee Ching, Steve, Sherry, Zhi Ling, Eugene and Ee Yen. One day, we will stand on the same stage and wow everyone with our performance again!

Guitar Seoul Garden outing!

I will never forgive you all for dragging me away from my sliced chicken!!! But no matter what, i will always love my favourite ( one and only exco!)! Though we had lots of quarrels, long and draggy meetings, outings to buy guitar stuff or even planning new activities for the members, you all have stood by me and baring with my super bad temper. Thanks a lot guys and don't forget your favourite chairman!

And to the special guy with the red and black adidas shirt. Even though you aren't an exco, you are one to me! Thanks for the greatest support you have shown in guitar and for trying to encourage me on the day i finally broke down! Our band shall come out soon: The Baboons strike back!

1/2 of 07S103! Well, somehow we are always half and never together. Sometimes it's quite saddening? Oh well, just as long as we are happy!

Hahh, so after thinking for the past few days,

i realise that......Darren doesn't really have much close friends.

Many people will be like : "that's bullshit!", "hello, don't say this kind of thing lah".

But really, somehow, when i think of who i can turn to, i don't really know who and even my closest friends are tied up with their affairs.

Oh well, i still remember what yogi always used to tell me during first 3 months, "Somehow everything will be all right".

Maybe it's something i should believe in.

For now, full steam ahead for midyears and i know people reading this will tell me not to be emo!

Well, i shall try. =/

To my super duper ultra busy BF3/TOCGF all the best for pre-u sem!

And to my one and only student, you better do well for your O level chinese!

I love guitar, but it's time to let go.....All the best, J1s and get the gold with honours that i couldn't achieve.
