NAPFA

WOOTS!!!! I PASSED NAPFA!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally! (:

Must really thank those people who motivated me to pass my pull ups. Jin Zhe, Berd, Cynthia, Vivian, Derrek, Kai Yuan and more la. Ever since the day i saw Kai Yuan pass his pull ups, it has been my motivation to train for it cause i saw a living example that it is possible to pass pull ups for people who fail it. :D Must thank him for giving me the motivation to pass my pull ups if not i guess i would still be slacking and failing my pull ups not even wanting to pass it.

Have to thank Berd and Jin Zhe for pacing me for the last lap of my run. I really could feel my feet ache already and i was almost going to give up. But they came along and pushed me on. Thanks alot! (:

To everyone who has in one way or another help me pass my NAPFA, Thanks!

enCOre

Went to watch the enCOre concert yesterday. Pretty good one i must say.

Wanted to go there with a listening ear to really enjoy the music but the day before, Vivian just SUDDENLY call me and crap, have to do videoing... Oh wells. Ended up watching the whole concert through a view finder which is just so not good. Life of a Sai Gang warrior.

So Anw, had to go to SCH just a bit earlier to setup my camera and get a good spot. Supposed to meet with Shiyi for dinner first before going over to SCH but then she pang seh me, call me when im on the bus telling me her mother cooked liao. End up i decided to just grab a light snack ALONE at burger king. Super lonely. Haha. After my light snack at BK, went to the library at Westmall. Grab a copy of HiFi Choice magazine and indulged in it. Read the magazine till like 5.50pm then Shiyi came. Made our way to Tanjong Pagar MRT. Okay la, at least she was understanding and agreed to go there earlier. (:

When we reached Tanjong Pagar, she met her classmates over there so we went split ways. Went over to SCH first to get ready. Was given the circle seats. Setup the camera and was deciding which tripod to use since i brought my own one. Once i was done., i SMSed Q cause he used to work at SCH. I asked him if could he help me ask his friend to let me go visit the control room. =D. Was very fortunate cause his friend allowed. Damn happy. They had a lot of equipments inside. A few racks of it and their speakers were EV speakers which sounded just great. The mics they used throughout the concert were DPA mics anw. Good stuff. However, throughout the whole concert, there were no amplification done for the orchestra except for the soloist performances.

So anw, the concert started. I started off using the tripod. It was super duper jerky. It came to a point that i really wanted to just throw the tripod away... and i did. I decided to use my hands halfway through. Although its very tiring and i would most probably shake more, at least its not jerky. I felt pretty lonely up there at the circle seats myself. Like a man on a island alone. Although it was like a best spot to watch a concert, it was really lonely up there.

I liked the last encore piece cause the conductor really energised the atmosphere by bringing the audience into the music. Its like he has bridged the gap between the audience and the orchestra. Great job Mr Shen!

The concert ended and i just packed my stuff and left the circle seats. Found Vivian and got her to bring my equipment back to school and take care of it cause i lazy to bring everything back myself :P

Took some pictures with the class with Vivian and Miss Too, then i left already. It was pretty late already and they wanted to follow Vivian back to school so i just decided to go home from SCH. Met up with Shiyi and we left for home together. Met Kok on the way. Ended up being lame with him and our conversation is really very very lame. Reached home at around 12.

Wrap up for last week!

Last week was kind of tiring. But oh well all our hard work has FINALLY paid off. AC got talent. One of the best show i have ever done. No major hiccups and cock ups and the best thing of all, we have won the challenge set aside by ourselves. We did a live telecast thing! First time ever in ACJC and it was made possible by us. GREAT JOB GUYS!!! Shall post some pictures after i get back my camera. Have to thank the councilors for being so meticulous in everything they did cause the script that they passed to us was just so comprehensible. In short, one of the best shows MRC has ever ever done. BEST!

On the other hand, i have missed out a lot on my academics. Sleepless nights made me very tired and unable to concentrate at all. The thought of AC got talent makes my mind wonder away from lectures and tutorials. Just cannot concentrate. Some teachers are considerate while some aren't. But oh well, can't really expect all of them to be so understanding. Right? In fact its a blessing that even some of them understand (: Sometimes what i need is time for myself to adjust myself back to the right mood instead of someone always pushing me. All i need is some time alone to sort out my thoughts. A quote from Randy Pausch at his last lecture: Life ain't about achieving your dreams, its about how you lead your life.
