Random update
Tmr will be my last paper! I dunno to be happy or sad. It's stats!! Anw, I'm really looking forward to post exam activities hahahhaha. That would be music camp! I rmb feeling very uncertain, not knowing what to expect, not knowing how it will be like, being unsure and afraid whether I had made the correct decision to continue in guitar and go for camp. It turned out to be an important checkpoint (like in those games you know haha) for me to continue in guitar. And now it's my second music camp! Looking forward, partly cos I know what exciting activities have been planned hahahaha, and also getting to know the juniors and other members better! I'm afraid again, haha, of the sectionals and ensemble practices, cos I can't sightread properly yet, and the memories of what happened during sectionals last music camp are still fresh in my mind. Haha damn embarrassing, I'm the only one who can't play in my section :( Can't even follow.
And I've been neglecting my violin since the last lesson. Haven't been touching it. Hopefully I can prac more after exams and before music camp starts if not then I'll just be going for lesson without practising for the entire week!
Ok I should be studying stats now!

Thought about the past again. Not going to write it here, if not this blog will become a place of bad memories rather than about my uni life. So, uni life!
Next week's the start of exams, every sem I will vow to study harder next sem and get into dean's list. And this sem is not an exception haha. I'm not panicking even when my first paper is bioinformatics, next mon and I don't really get what's gng on :( And aft that is psych on tues. At first I didn't have much hope for psych cos my mid term paper was less than satisfactory, but then my mid term essay was nt bad haha, I was surprised. And I handed in late too... So that marks reflected in ivle means it is after the penalty took effect rite? So now I hope to get at least a B+ for psych! I'm not sure if I need to get at least B- to minor in it, like the psych majors have to. Honestly, I really wanted to major in psych, but 2 majors would be rather taxing rite? Esp since these 2 are quite memory intensive. Then aft tt is 2103! Finally concluding with stats. Oh man I'm very scared the situation in gem2900 will repeat for stats, when I don't even know what's gng on now! Oh nooooo cannt get D for stats, it's a core mod for my major cannt su!!!! Then my cap will forever be stuck in the 3 zone :( Aiming to push it up to at least 3.5 this sem! At least can qualify for honours. Hahaha. Then in the subsequent sem will aim to push it up to 4!!! Then at least 2nd upper. Hahaha. But at the rate I'm slacking, I'll take forever to push it up to 3.5 :(
Trying to learn standchen on the piano now. So hard to coordinate my hands >:( Doesn't help tt I can't read bass clef either -.- rarghhh so I'm still stuck at the first few lines!! I really really really want to be able to play standchen smoothly on the piano :( feel like learning piano now. Just to be able to play standchen properly hahaha. Ok stop, stop thinking about the past.
Off to (try to) play standchen!

Can't sleep!
Couldn't slp after waking up at 1 plus just now, so I thought I might as well do something useful of the time rather than tossing arnd in bed trying to slp. The past week has been rather slack, only went out of house on tues for prac. Can't really keep up with the rhythm throughout the entire song. It's so hard to be a percussionist! Haha I better keep up with my instruments. Speaking of which, sectionals gonna resume this sat! And I haven really picked up my guitar yet. Haven look through the scores too. Arghhhhh.
And I'll be having violin lesson this sun. And I haven really touched my violin for this week. Haven even cleaned it yet, oh no I'm getting lazy. Must set down to prac it and clean it ltr before I get out of the house. To meet partner to do up matric fair publicity. And haven gotten present yet! Haha shall go scout for one tmr before meeting partner.
Oh I suddenly wanted to go for camps, like those bigger scale ones, cos I nv go before and I wanna go before I grad (if not then there'll be no more), but union camp prep camp has passed and actual camp clashes with ls camp. Lol thr doesn't seem to be enough seniors for ls camp, so I'm not sure how it will turn out. Must be more enthu and friendly to keep the freshies and make new friends!
Oh and I have decided I am gng to overload next sem and hopefully be able to take PL1101E although that would mean I will be fighting with the freshies over the bell curve, but bah! I'm gonna do my minor in psych hopefully. If not then I'll have to take special sem next year. Damn, should have planned more properly. But no, nobody is going to influence my decisions agn. I will probably overload for next year, but most imptly, is to get my cap up to at least 4 by next sem. I've been slacking since forever and this is not acceptable! This is Sparta!! Lol, there is gng to be much to juggle next sem, overloading; practising guitar; publicity stuffs; violin; and hopefully I'll be able to get a tuition assignment or two, in case I need to take special sem next year, so need to save up. And I should consider dropping violin if I really cannot cope, cos I can't drop anything else other than violin lol. But I think I can, if I get my act together and stop slacking. NOW. This is Sparta!!!
There! My two most impt goals for next sem:
1) Get my overall cap up to at least 4, which would mean I probably have to be a dean lister next sem
2) Be able to sightread fast for guitar, this prob has been plaguing me forever and it's high time I eliminate it
I seem to be more angsty and fiesty these days, can't seem to control/ contain my anger properly. Sigh, feel like I'm on the road to high blood pressure :( Accelerated by the fact I haven been exercising and am growing fatter. I'm in the 50s range now! Arghhhhhh no cannot do. Must start living healthy. I shall start planning my timetable so that I can live healthy next sem (means slp enough), prac guitar often until I can achieve goal #2, study enough (more than that) so that I can achieve goal #1 and declare a psych minor by sem 2, if not by special sem next year, prac violin so that I can be proud to call myself a violinist (excited at that prospect!), and build good and long-lasting relationships with my friends (cos I feel I haven been keeping friends). Yup, different goals to achieve, so that I can fulfil my ultimate aim of living life meaningfully to its fullest and being happy.
Hoho I think that should be enough for now. Still don't feel slpy yet. Arghhhh why. Then tmr I will wake up in afternoon argh no that shalt not happen. Shall force myself to relax and slp. Off to update my calendar!

A short random post
Another violin lesson ystd! Started gng into the 2nd position on the fingerboard and my lousy sightreading was exposed! Argh no idea why I feel very nervous. Better tackle it before the other notes come in!
Accidentally fell aslp last night while doing proposal :x could be due to the flu medicine. Anw I feel better now, at least my nose is not blocked anymore. Yay! Ohh but still haven't finish proposal yet. New ideas, come to me!
To be honest I don't know what is the purpose of this post. Not much happening in my life now. Proposals, matric fair stuffs, practices. Then not much le. No violin lesson for the next week, now I'm still contemplating if I should change my lesson time :/

A random post of many things
Wanted to post an update about yesterday's retreat, but have been procrastinating, so I think I'll post it later. There have been changes to my calendar recently:
WH suddenly smsed me that we are not gng amanda's concert anymore, so ok, tmr I'll just be out meeting anita and beatrice. (Makes mental note to charge lappie to full batt)
Suddenly received an email saying that I didn't get into the venus transit volunteering. That's funny, lol. (Makes mental note to ask A&B about it tmr, or ask CC)
There's a recce to sentosa this fri for the ls camp. They also told us that we might be needed to help wash cars and raise funds. I wouldn't mind, of course, if I'm free. (Makes mental note to save money for prep camp, camp, ls shirt, o shirt)
And not to forget, I was supposed to go engin rag with JQ. Dunno if she still rmb not haha. Feel like going to science rag too, to know more science ppl, but have to see if I'm free or not :/ ALR threw me into a state of panic, for there will be looming datelines coming soon! This reminds me of the datelines part in the pubsec role description and something abt a pubsec's job being never ending all round the year (HJ, 2012). And this reminds me of the need to get the hang of photoshop quickly. PS learning PS.
I should start planning my holidays carefully to make sure I spend my time fruitfully.
Goals this holidays (so that I will fulfill my main goal of spending time fruitfully):
1) Learn the basics of photoshop (bare minimum so that I can create publicity material for MF)
2) Practice my instruments (at least try to improve my sightreading for guitar and keep up with my violin lessons)
3) Think abt my plan for the next few sems (like what modules to take, if I want to go SEP, shall I change major to psych, or do a minor, my specialisation in ls, future career path etc etc)
4) Get to know more people, seniors juniors peers alike (get to know more ls ppl through ls camp, know more ppl through rag)
5) Have fun with friends! (outings!, know comm and other fellow members better, and I think there are quite a few june/ july babies)
6) Get a job if can (save money for violin lessons or buying birthday gifts or shopping for chocolates or just having a lot of money in my bank hahahaha)
7) Clean and tidy my rooooooom (self-explanatory)
8) Calligraphy! Lol ok if I'm in the mood for it
Well, I'm sure there are other things that I have/ want to do but didn't list it here. If I were to list everything down it would take until december to do so lol (unlimited human wants). This list is not exhaustive anyway. Just wanna remind myself that there are things for me to do and not to sit and stone in front of the com everyday, which is the opposite of what I want to achieve for this holidays. Wanna get as many check-offs as possible on this list. Gonna be a senior when school reopens :( old liao.
I'm long-winded indeed, even a random post also can talk so much and make until so looooooong.

An incident
Oh I just remembered about this. This afternoon at around 5 going 6, or 6 plus, I was in my room when suddenly my mom knocked on my door and passed me something to take a look. She asked me to see if it's a real police pass cos there's someone who claims to be a police told her that someone complained about us renting out our house and being noisy and all at the door. I couldn't tell if its' real or fake or I told her that it looks real. I peered out and saw the guy in plain clothes. Anw my mom didn't open the door in the end cos she didn't believe him after seeing him wear slippers. Good thing cos in the end dad and her went to the police station to verify and the police said that guy's a phoney. Yea good thing. Anw why would plain clothes come and investigate this kind of thing? Not like we are criminals or anything. Lol. A lesson learnt to not anyhow open doors to anyone. Keep calm and be skeptical. Thank God mom didn't open the door and nothing happened to us.
