I'm back!

Yep! I'm back and im not going to blog about how tired i am this time (:

Monday was maths test. I kind of forgot to retrieve the probability tutorial that i promised Miss Kuah to retrieve by the end of Friday after the AC's Got talent rehearsal. I feel really bad for that. She is really understanding cause i only passed it to her on that Friday afternoon and she just marked it for me without doubting me or anything. Really appreciate it, but it just slipped my mind to retrieve it after the rehearsal. Anw, Monday morning after chapel and cyberwellness talk, Miss Kuah called me but i accidentally hung her call!!! Argh!!! Then she smsed me. Wah i feel terrible doing that although it was an accident. ZZZ. She actually smsed me to remind me to collect my probability tutorial although the test was just like an hour away. I really really appreciate it. Thank you Miss Kuah for your understanding! Really thanks! Sometimes when you are feeling so tired and down about everything single thing in the world, it is this kind of acts of kindness, care and concern that brightens up your day and make you realise that all is not lost. Really thanks! (:

Tuesday was Chem test. I think I was prepared for it but then Murphy's law never fails to amaze me. Oh well. It was really Chem day. Wah so many period of chem and then chem test and chem MCQ time assignment. Chem Chem Chem. BAH!

Today was physics SPA. Wah its the last of SPA. I hate it but i am going to miss it :( Undeniably it is enjoyable for me to do physics SPA. I really pray and hope that i did not screw it up cause its double weightage from the rest of the SPA's I've ever done. Hope all goes well and i did not forget to write anything cause i ALMOST forgot to write the whole section on Hypothesis. OH MY TIAN LA! Lucky i realised it while i was writing my procedure on the hypothesis and then figured out that the whole section is missing!!! It kind of made me nervous and not able to concentrate after that cause i became so concerned about if did i screw up. Hope everything goes out well.

Oh anw, can you believe it? Miss Kuah has finished marking the papers and she returned it to us today. Very efficient! AND................................~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I GOT 20/25!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOTSSS!!!!!! ITS MY FIRST A FOR MATHS!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was like punching my fist in the air after looking at my marks cause i was so happy!!!! MY FIRST A!!!! YAY! I'm so going to fight to the end for an A for my maths! With hard work, all is possible. I got everything on complex numbers correct (: So its just the probability question that i sort of screwed up but im not good at probability cause my head is kind of the think in one direction kind. Haha.

Tmmr's labor day. A much awaited holiday. Finally some rest for good (: Shall sleep like a pig tmmr then go for tuition during the evenings.

So tired...

Its been long since i've updated. All is fine (: Just that i'm feeling a little worn out. Everyday is like a tough one to pull through. How i wish i can just don't worry about stuff for one day and do what i like most. It's so tiring... So many tests this week. Chem test, Maths test, and PHYSICS SPA!!!! WOAH!!!!! Going crazy... Most likely will fail one of them but it shall not be Physics SPA cause it determines my A Level results. What Mr Chew says makes sense, totally. Okay i shall mug hard for next week!

phew, finally over...

Finally its Saturday and the week is coming to an end. Just came back from Maths tuition and now i'm just lazing around listening to music on my system. Its been long since i turned it on to listen to music. I miss the sound of my Corals. They are seriously like gems.

Monday - Supposedly to have AC got talent auditioning. Somehow ended up with only one pianist auditioning... -_- So we just left la. Waste time.

Tuesday - MP Mdm Halimah Jacob came to our school to conduct a GP enrichment talk. Had to do it with Shermaine in the end cause if screwed up confirm GG to MRC. Lucky no screw ups at all and Mdm Halimah knew how to use a mic properly. Concurrently, there was CB Paul Quiz rehearsal. The rest of the crew did the rehearsal. Ended kind of late.

Wednesday - CB Paul quiz. I opted not to have a blue slip cause i felt that there were just too many people over there. No point for me to be present. Furthermore, with my presence, i will be doing everything including sound check and stuff cause thats my nature. So thats why i best felt that i just opted out of a blue slip and leave the stuff to the J1's to do.

Thursday - AC got talent audition. At least this time got a few bands. But heck, 1 band only-_- Did the semi full setup with the board in the center of the hall. Must thank KD and whoever who helped out with the fast setup. Had a bit of fun while mixing for the band.

Friday - Julia Gabriel Debates. Something like CB Paul but without monitors. Oh man, had a screw up during our manpower transition. Crap. Luckily the teacher was not so petty about stuff. Ended at near 1030 and by the time i got home, it was 1130.

Today - Community Games. Shall not say anything about it.

Finally its over. But is it really over?

I'm Burning Up!

This week is very very hectic. I'm not sure how am i going to get pass with it. So many events. Multiple events happening at the same time. Everyday filled with events, even Saturday. Miss Too asked us if have we ever wondered and I told her that i wondered if will I ever get to rest. I can really feel myself starting to burn out. Really very tired. Everyday in class, my physical self is there, but my soul is somewhere else worrying about other stuff or if not, resting. I really feel very tired. Plus all the problems that is happening with my CCA, I really wonder if i can survive through this week. But i know, there would always be people who are even more tired than me. Hearing what Bernard told me today, i realised that I'm actually quite fortunate for some teachers understand my situation but don't know and understand his.

Had CB Paul event today. Only ended at 6.30pm. By the time we finished packing up, it was around 7.40pm. Really want to thank her for waiting for me to be done with MR stuff and trying to lift my spirits. I was feeling pretty moody the whole day, just didn't really want to do anything but she came along and brought a smile to my face (: Thanks alot!

Really feel like just dropping down and sleep now but i know i must persevere!

JIA YOU! I MUST MAKE IT!

A trip to telex

Yesterday, i went to Telex. A company which was taken over by Bosch and carries brands like Midas, Klark Teknik, EV and Dynacord. Brought my camera along but did not take any photos -_- Haha. Was so engrossed with all the stuff there that i forgot to take photos. But i took a photo of gifts that Q gave me. Anw Q invited me there cause i wanted to know how to EQ the sound.


I got to use the Legend 3000 Console. It was the 48 channel version but still it was damn big already. Confirm cannot put inside the tiny cage. This is a picture of the board that i got to use. Very cool i must tell you and I must really say that the board is really designed for the engineer and not designed for the engineer to learn.

Q went through everything with me on this board and its really amazing. The way it mutes certain circuits when it is not in use to reduce noise floor, the way it routes its matrix channels, the way it inputs ambience sound into its aux channels, simply amazing. Surely you won't find anything like that in a Yamaha console.

Q was like fiddling with his Smaart Live software cause it wasn't working and in order to teach me how to EQ, he needed that software to show me the graphs. Unfortunately his Smaart wasn't that Smaart yesterday so in the end cannot teach me EQ but he still taught me all the kinds of EQ, like shelving, parametric, constant Q parametric, proportional Q parametric. All these weren't known to me until yesterday. So thanks to him i got to know more!

By the time we finished everything about the Legend 3000, it was 2 hours later. So we moved on to the XL8! Woots!

Damn cool piece of mixer. It's so good that i won't even say that it is like a mixer but instead its more of a audio network system. No audio processing is actually done on this board. Really! Although it has like 7 Pentium 4s in it plus 5 more dunno what processor, just not from intel. Really damn good. The 5 screens in front are high contrast monitors so no need to worry that cannot see. The faders fly like so damn cool and all the functions are just mind blowing. Again, it is a mixer designed for the engineer and not designed to let the engineer to learn. I picked up how to use this board in quite a fast time. Midas paid a lot of attention to this board. Attention to how engineers get so worried about the values when on a digital board causing them to slow down, attention to like what if there was suddenly a board failure and what should the system react to, all these made up the XL8. Seriously its one of the most amazing and impressive board i ever seen.

As i said, the board does not do the processing on board so it has 22 outboard modules in order to run with it. It has ten DL471 DSP Engines, two DL461 Audio System Signal Routers, five DL451 Audio System Modular I/O, four DL431 Audio System Input Splitters and One DN9331 Klark Teknik Helix Rapide. All this for one board. And the best part, it runs on a fibre cable and it has a redundant 2nd fibre channel in case one fails and even if it fails all of a sudden, the sound will stil be there, just that there is no control over the sound but it does not mean an instant mute. Damn powerful.

96 channel is a standard for this board. You may ask, 96 channels but the board is so short? That was my qns too but then i realised this damn thing is actually like a page thing. You can flip the page to the next page and all the channels will change on the display! Its like OMGWTFBBQ! And even more cool thing is this. There is a layer B function so i can actually work on one of the bays on this board, which actually has 5 bays, and what im working on is independent of what another person can be doing on the other bays. Its like effectively having 2 separate mixers to control the same thing. Seriously i have NEVER seen such a board with all these functions before. Crazy shit but very impressive. I really nothing to say but just go wow!

Learned the XL8 operations then it was about time to go home. On the way home, Q lent me his Westone earphones. OH MY TIAN! I listen to that earphones liao then feel like throwing away my HiFi system. Its like a few WORLDS APART. Damn good la! The bass is so deep and so punchy and the mids is just SHIOK!

Okay enough geeky stuff liao before SOME people poke fun at me with my geekness again. Haha.

PW Results

We got back our results today. I got an A but somehow i did not feel as happy as i should have been. Only 2 people in my group got As. See Toh and me. The rest all got B. I felt that i have sort of failed as a PW group leader cause i did not lead my group to success. On the surface, it looks as if i worked for myself only, cause i got an A but the rest did not. I'm really sorry for not doing a good job PWAC122... Really sorry.

Seeing Marshella's and Vivian's expression when i told them that got B's hurt me quite a lot. The fact that Marshella did not get an A made me feel irritated. She was the one who did the most work in the group but yet she got a B. She was the most hardworking one, most determined one but yet she did not get an A. I'm really sorry Marshella. Vivian, the most cheerful one. The most rationale one. The most analytical one. The one who really cared about team spirit. But she did not get an A. I really don't know what to say. Her sad, dejected face just made me feel guilty of not doing a good job as a PW leader. Alvin too didn't get an A. I guess all i can say to them now is that i'm really sorry and not to be sad cause whats done cannot be undone. Must look ahead and strive hard to score for other content subjects! Getting a B isn't the end of the world, be optimistic!

omg damn paiseh!!!

This morning, cause KD wanted to purposely sabo the J1s so everything was in like a mess. LT1's screen and projector were not ready for assembly. So halfway through devotions, me and KA went down to LT1 so get it ready BUT omg! the string was like so high up that i cant reach. I had to climb a chair and even jump of from the chair to grab the string. When i did that, the screen made a SUPER DUPER LOUD noise. Then the whole hall turn around and look at me. OMG SO DAMN PAISEH CAN!!!! AHHH!!!!! The string slipped through my hand so it was still kind of high up there although it is lower. I stretched myself to reach for the string and because it was swaying, i had difficulty grabbing hold of it. So i like pinched the air a few times before i finally got it. The people at LT1 was like looking at me trying to pinch air la, they were giggling. WAH!!!! DAMN PAISEH LA!!!! I think i must go hide myself liao la. So malu. AHHH!!!!!

FunOrama Video!

Yay! Im so happy cause despite the video i made is 7mins long, Mr Mak has allowed it to be played (: Yay! Thanks Mrs Loh for asking him too! I'm so happy la! Haha. Looking forward to tmmr! Woots!
