Stressed

Ok..decided to blog this entry in English. Coz...im tired...
One exclaimation to make before I start....I REALLY DUN LIKE THEORY!!!! =((

Went for keyboard class today...1st shock- Got an ad-hoc song- 至少走的比你早. Well, I like this song very much so not much of a problem playing it out. But I know my fingers trembled on some notes coz 一时反应不过来!! =p. From now on till exam, there will be an ad-hoc (sudden) song every week. Just hope tat I wun get a heart attack at the end of the day! Hahaha..

2nd shock- Here comes the theory part. As mentioned earlier (did I?), I really hate theory. And today, we went through ryhtum beating IN THEORY!! *Fainted* I think I have a phobia for theory already. Everytime saw those 豆芽 on white board, I will just "switch off" automatically, even though I tried hard to understand. Hai..

We took turns to go up and write the beats on the 豆芽. Honestly, I copied some ans from HY. =p Coz really dunno how to do...

To make matter worse, there will be those dots (half notes) during exam. Whole notes I 勉强 still can understand...but not those half notes. Im totally lost! But luckily, kim explained using the cake method...finally able to understand a bit of those dots. (Btw, I like cakes!! =D) But still, I dun like theory..I know this is not the right attitude. Just let mi vent my frustration here for a while ok? In reality, I know I still got to master them well...I will try my best to overcome this phobia.

Just went online and saw tat our Jun vocal homework song is 如果有一天and 浦工英的约定. Well...heard these 2 songs before but not so familiar. So...homework again. =)

Went OG with mama after class. Bought farewell gift for my colleague and boss. Also, bought 2 t-shirts for myself! Hee..And finally..the GREAT Spore Sales is here!!!!!! =D Tml going to far east with Jess to "开战". My only rest day for the week! But really cant spend too much...got to save up liao. Going to take up a saving plan from KY (My insurance agent friend) probably next month onwards.

Showcase on Vesak Day

今天,学校主办了showcase aka lyrics/melody composing class graduation,都是展出毕业学生的作品。。。
本来应该约好11点到,可是我迟了一点。。=p

11点多,我和Latchimi到Bugis Junction买些饮料,准备给学生喝。也顺便帮其他人买午餐,因为他们还在上课。Showcase 1 点多终于开始了。因为人手不足,我付则帮忙scroll lyrics. 老实说,压力很大。因为我从来没听过这些学生作品,所以有时不知会重复哪一段。有几次当歌手重复某段verse/chorus时,我都慌了。。。找不到歌词!哈。。哈。。

可是今天“玩”得蛮开心的!每次showcase我都很enjoy。。就像一个大大的家庭,每个人有说有笑的聚在一起。=D
Showcase结束后,我,Latchimi 和小妹(Shauna) 又到Bugis解决晚餐。我们谈了很多。。有关于showcase的事,有关于keyboard的事。。还有好多好多。。。真的好高兴能认识她们!可惜的是,我就要和小妹分开了。。。
=(因为工作关系,没办法和她同班了。。好伤心!Hai..天下无不散之宴席。。。

好了,今天就到这里。好累。。。Zzzzz....

Challenge...Challenge..+ Challenge...

又隔了好长一段时间。。。我终於回来了!抱歉!呵呵。。

最近真的好忙,忙着把工做做好,准备交给下个新人。是地,我终於辞职了。五月31日将是我在现任的工司最后一天。而这几个新期,经过一个有一个的恐怖面试后,终于找到新的工作了。是一家上市工司。虽然地点有点不放便,可是,我还蛮满意那里的环境和人。前景也很不错。最重要是,我很满意那里的工钱!哈。。哈。。

这份新的工作,会更有挑战性。所以,我不用想5点就能下班。哈。哈。。可是,挑战=学习。希望能够学习到许多新的东西吧!=)

好了,工作放一边。。。

如往常,今天上keyboard class。这个月,老师都一只在帮我们准备即将来临的考试。今天是教theory.坦白说。。。我最讨厌theory了!!!他讲了10句,我只听进了5句。有时候是听不懂,可是大部份时后是觉的反感。可能是跟那些“豆芽”没缘份吧。唉。。。。辛好,theory只有30%。否则就完了!!哈。。哈。。

另外一个环节是要每个人自备一首歌,完完整整地弹出来。好笑的是,我们3人都准备弹同一首歌。。。就是《童话》!哈。。因为才刚学不久,记忆最深刻!=D 可是,连一个note都不能弹错。压力好大!为一办法-练。。练。。练。。再练。。。还是练!No shortcut! *sigh* 可是,为了梦想,再幸苦都值得。=)

下课后,去找按摩师。最近,可能是因为太累吧,老毛病又来了。肩膀和勃子好痛。她在按的时后,我真的要哭出来了!好痛!她还说会痛个两三天!天啊!!我看,这老毛病是很难好了。。YX阶绍我到一位中国“足疗”脚底按摩师那里去看看,很不错,真的有效。可是又要花一笔钱,所以,等拿了新水,再说吧!希望他不要那么早回去中国就好!哈。。哈。。

来临的新期一是卫塞节。。。不用上班!!!! YEAH!! 当天,会回去学校,因为有showcase。这次是作词,作曲班的,所以我没唱。

好了,不能再写下去了。。肩膀好痛!!

Will try to update more frequently....try la..no promise k? =)

Good night!!

A Mixture of Feelings...

It has been a tiring..exciting..sad..torturing week. And i finally can take a breath now to write my blog. I know I promise to write in chinese in my previous entries, but right now...im just too tired to do tat.

Mon-
It's audience night but I can't make it tat day. So sad...got to go 幸福饮茶restaurant to celebrate mother's day. I know it's a bit far too earlier. But being apart of typical kiasu Sporean, we decided to eat early in order to avoid the crowd!! Hahaha..

Surprisingly, there was a live performance in the restaurant!! But....they r meant mostly for the matured audience...if u get what i mean. Just like watching a live 黄金年华!! hahaha..but not bad..got live band too!

Tue-
Had an interview early in the morning! Location quite convenient to mi...but honestly, after giving some thoughts, I may not want to take up the position coz 1stly, may have to work OT on some sat and sun. 2ndly, the office is quite small. Hai...know I should not be so picky on such things, but I just hope to find myself a better place to land this time round...hopefully...

Went for tuition after work...WJ going to have his exam in May...which is just around the corner! Kind of stress coz im afraid I cant really help him out much. But still trying hard...

Wed-
No vocal class for this week!! But it's a miserable day for mi. Took half day leave and went for another interview after work in afternoon. This interview was the scariest interview I had in my life! GM, Assist Manager & HR Manager take turns to bombard mi with questions...questions...questions......luckily I did some homework. If not....but still waiting for the outcome. I hope I can get in coz the working environment is nice! Although location wise not so convenient, but tats not the top priority as compared to the working environment.

Thur-
IT'S FINALLY A HOLIDAY!!!! But i din spend it just like other holidays where i simply slept throughout the day. I woke up around 10am tat day and practice my song-哭砂. Coz...later in the afternoon it's our school's showcase!! Really like showcase coz i get to meet many friends tat have lose touch due to different timing of class.

Just like any other showcases, I really enjoyed myself! It's so HOT inside the studio...partly is because we were so participative, and partly is becoz of the malfuctioning of the air-con!! hahaha...really sweating like in suana!

I was no. 19...so it will take quite sometime before my turn. Mi and Jia Ning went to the staircase to warm up and practise our songs. It's fun having her in class!! =D And...after about 2 hrs..it's finally my turn. Dunno y...this not the 1st time im performing,but i still trumble alot...guess this is wat we call stage fright. But lucky YX was there. Kind of relax a bit with her beside mi..ZZ was my accompanist for the song.

The system was better than the previous showcases coz at least I can hear my own voice. (Later den knew tat it was becoz YX bought a new system!!) Overall, im quite satisfied with my song..hee..but still lots of room for improvement la.

Went to eat long john with Jia ning after showcase. So hungry!!! We chatted quite a bit about our families, our schools, our teachers....i really enjoyed going out with this xiao mei mei. Y i say xiao mei mei leh? Coz she's 6 years younger than mi!! Really can be my sis liao..hahaha...

After dinner, we went to watch YX and gang's performance. Xiao mei mei was so amazed by their voice coz it's the 1st time she's watching. Can see she's really excited..hahaha..

I almost cried when i heard YX singing some sad songs..maybe is because im too stressed up over work and other stuff recently...too emotional liao. But managed to control my tears. The show ended about 10.40+...we were so tired liao...so went home straight away.....and...im going to prepare for the most "memorable" day tml....

Fri-
The "most memorable" day has finally came. I finally tendered my resignation letter today. It's always hard to do such things...and I really cant control my tears from rolling down when in boss's room. But no matter how sad i m, I still got to carry on my career path. Boss had asked mi to stay...but it's hard. The reason im sad is bcoz, he's a good boss...an understanding one.

What hurt mi the most was...the colleague whom i have worked with closely for the past 2 years, knew about my resignation, but...she can just pretend nothing has happended and even ask mi whether i wan to clear my leave or convert them into cash...in a emotionlessly manner. She din even bother to ask mi y im leaving. Initially, Im still worrying how to break d news to her. But her reaction really disappointed mi a lot. It's makes mi felt tat i really made the right choice...to leave for the better.

The rest of May is something which I dun look forward to...from this moment onwards, I will have to bear with the weird treatment from her ( although i have been bearing with it since dunno when...)

K...enough say. Really hope to find a better place to land this time round...
