Desperately wishing that I can turn back time.


And it's driving me mad, I miss you so bad...

Pretty amazing :)
Mood: Tired.
Music: Faithfully - Journey
Music: Regina Spektor - Samson
Music: Violin - Jason Chen

It's been a pretty hectic week and school's out now! :)
Wait, I take that back, time to start mugging for blocks!

Anyway, hectic week. 23/5 was Art's Feste, followed by Il Tempo on 24/5.

Art's feste was nothing like Concordia (obviously Concordia's so much better ;D), but we still spammed a gazillion photos because it's the J2's last formal performance. Really glad that we took so many photos with Dr Tan :D I'll miss CCA a lot ):


Our ensemble! ♥


J2 girls (without XY D: )


TANTANTAN (:

And my amazing section! Though funny things go on behind my back (literally), at the 3rd and/or 2nd desks, I must say that they've really been a fun bunch :) Esp my batchmates who are funny and really cute most of the time :)


Violists all the way ♥

The happiness and love that I feel in the CCA is really ineffable. Will never forget the wonderful moments we share together.

HCSE batch of 2011-2012 (:

[edit] I think we're super lucky to have a awesome and cool conductor (: [/edit]

*************************

Il Tempo! :D

Soph, Shalom, I and Ben! Or, more affectionally known as "BEAT" (inside joke). BEAT stands for Ben, Elmo, Almond and Troll! HAHA (Guess who am I :P)


我的老公 ^^


Awkward moment when no one was singing the melody at Just the Way You Are cus Soph's microphone wasn't working. But still. Ben's voice sho naise! :D



*************************


Just like my yellow phone and my turquoise earphones. I love them both, but put them together, they just don't match.

I'm done with all the lies
I'm done with all the pain
I'm done with all the time wasting up on you
And I can't take it no more take it no more
I'm done with the screaming
I'm done with all those silly love songs that keep on playing
Can you hear the violin?

是要问一个明白
还是要装作糊涂
知多知少难知足...

Love,

Stark contrast
Mood: Restless.
Music: 31 Days - Zee Avi
Music: Superman - Five for Fighting

In a rather restless and angsty mood recently. Shan't let my negative emotions get to my head.

At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out; they fence you in.
My decision is made, and it's clear. Though I know it isn't a very mature one, and it really is far from the best decision, I don't really care anymore. It's better this way, for me. Let me be selfish this time, please? Just this once. Just for myself.

A flameless name, a foolish game.
I'm half crazy, and you're too sane...

"It's for your own good."
What does that mean, actually?

Life is messy, that's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross.
But what do you do when you know you've crossed the line and you can't go back to the safe haven you were in before? Not that you don't want to. What if you can't? Some words once out there, can't be taken back. And now what? Stop crossing lines altogether? Lock myself up forever? This skepticism isn't good for my soul, that I know. But what do I do to abate the bitterness inside?

They say if you fall, just stand up, brush off the dust on your knees, and march on. A few weeks ago, when I fell onto that patch of grass, it terrifies me that my very first instinct is to just lay there on the grass and not move. The grass is just so green and soft and inviting. Not sure if I'm the only weirdo who doesn't want to get up after falling (in both the physical and mental sense).

Here's what I know, If you're willing to take a chance, the view from the other side is spectacular.
- Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

Question is, how long do happy times last?

Now it's time to go, curtain's finally closing...
Mood: Freed.
Music: Killing Me Softly With His Song - Roberta Flack
Music: Survivor - Destiny's Child
Music: Bye-bye - Mariah Carey

The thick grey clouds blocked the skies,
throwing the world into a complete darkness.
But never forget that behind all that gloominess,
there will always be a sun shining bright.
Carry on, carry on.
Just wait for that silver lining that will take your breath away...



Seems that the whole world has turned their backs towards me. All I want is a hug from her. From my person. Too bad it's impossible. Please don't walk out of my life okay. If anything, we'll be twice as close, because the distance between us is going to be halved in a matter of a few months. Don't know how the story will unfold. But please whoever's out there listening, don't let me lose her. Don't let me be at the losing end again. Less than a month and I can run away from reality for a moment. Moments like these make me hope that I've never staged the role of the rebellious girl back then. But if I hadn't, where would life have taken me? I used to be able to see so clearly where I would be the next year and stuff. And now nothing. Hohumph.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced or cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Love,

Simply breathtaking.
Mood: Awed
Music: Le quattro stagioni - Antonio Vivaldi
Music: Serenade for Strings - Pyotr Tchaikovsky
Music: Symphony no. 8 - Dvorak
Music: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Hans Zimmer

Wow.


That's the only thing I can say. HCSE was simply breathtaking ♥ I can't quite put it into words. The months of practices and preparation paid off. And I wasn't quite ready mentally, that Concordia's gonna be our last concert, and this is our first time combining with band. I guess it'll be the first and last time I tell Theodora in class, "Let's go for orchestra together!"

The concert just keeps getting better. And Dvorak. Wow, Dvorak was just amazing. The feeling playing in the orchestra, a good orchestra, is just amazing. Mindblowing really. Encore was WHOOOOOO. I can't even describe how awesome it was (:

Pre-concert glamour:

Lovely people (:


With Theodora hunny (awesome trombonists!)


Alicia was super cool :)




Violists 2010 (Joan's missing though) ):


Section! ♥


With the pretty Greek goddess and Hui Xian :D


Desk partner Isobel (:


Superbly cool J2 violists (with Enying the photobomb, but he can play St Paul's on the viola so...)


Jarren looks like a bodyguard HAHA


So what more can I say? Thanks for making this journey such a memorable one for me, HCSE. I love you guys (:
When all words fail, our music speaks. ♥


Love,


Now I understand...

The Voice.
This post is gonna be all about The Voice and The Voice only ☀

Okay. Have been in a foul mood as of late (not that I'm proud of it). But looping The Voice songs now and my mood just instantly turned 180° hehe. Oh man these people are good. Like goooooooooood.

Mathai singing Adele's Rumour Has It (:

Loved it to bits!



I love Mathai's voice and style :3


And talk about originality--

/goosebumps/


Total Eclipse of the Heart


This guy is POWAHHH! Jermaine Paul singing Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer. Classics never die (:


PUMPED UP KICKS! :D


Apologize


And one of my all-time favourites: If I Ain't Got You. So awesome, I can't even.

I think the human voice is amazing. (I also think that Adam Levine is super cute/hot)

Love,

And now you're just somebody that I used to know.
Mood: Just like that.
Music: Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye (ft. Kimbra)
Music: E.T. (Cover) - Aston

I'm tired of fighting with you all in my head all the time. I really am. If you really wanna know the answers, it's out there. You just didn't bother looking for them. I'm tired of avoiding so I've left it all up to fate, whether or not we'll meet again. I guess I'll know the answer pretty soon. Either way there will be one person that's unhappy. I don't want to be the person to have to decide that the unlucky dude is you.

Meanwhile, just try not to give me a reason to strangle you or bash you up if i ever see you again. Stop with all your childish attention-seeking acts. it's not pitiful or anything. It's nothing but pathetic, if you haven't realized.


One day I'll be flying so high, you won't be able to tie me down (:

*************************


The Creator created our planet in a way such that we have vast grasslands, mountains, deep blue oceans and so many more breathtaking sceneries for us to enjoy and to roam. In a big world like this, it isn't cliche or wrong at all to say that the possibilities are infinite.

My point is, why do you lock yourself up in this squarish room every single time you have the chance? Worse still, shut all the windows tight and draw every single curtain. Don't disrupt the circulation of fresh air. Don't be afraid of the warm golden sun rays. Embrace the colours of the wind and stop relying on air freshener. The stench only developed because of the winds couldn't reach the corners of the room.

So please, do me a favor, open your window and inhale deeply. If you tell me you don't like the smell, then I'll have nothing to say but to leave you locked up tightly in this pathetic space. I hope you understand that an argument is not what I'm looking for, but I have my limits.

'Nuff said.

Simply amazing:


Love,

Take a chill pill (:
Mood: Pensive
Music: Lady Marmalade - Moulin Rouge OST
Music: L'inverno - Antonio Vivaldi
Music: Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word - Blue

Life's pace is accelerating to a point when taking a breath becomes increasingly hard. I hope I won't regret my decisions made. Keep holding on, 'cus I'll pull through as gracefully as ever HAHA :) Okay I'm kidding about the gracefully part. But besides that I ain't kidding. After all, I can't just give up without putting on a good fight, can I?

One of most comforting words I heard last Saturday.
Today I don't know this, but by tomorrow I'll know.
Today I'm at this level, but tomorrow I'll be better.
It may just be a little better, but at least I'm making progress,
and that's all that matters.





Let's stop making mountains out of molehills now, shall we?

Decisions decisions decisions.
Mood: Light-hearted
Music: Terrified - Katharine McPhee ft. Zachary Levi
Music: Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People
Music: Glad You Came - The Wanted

All these university talks are pretty much freaking me out. It's hard to not panic when you know your future is at stake. More certain now that staying here in Southeast Asia isn't my top choice. But there are so many other factors that affect one's university choice, with the greatest trouble being moolah. #frustrated.

Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people’s ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.

– Paulo Coelho

Can we just deviate and not follow what society has in store for us? Get a degree, get a job, get a family. Die. Why not do something extraordinary? Simply put in a very cliche way, follow your dreams.
