i spent the entire afternoon browsing through wikipedia on korean stuff.
i read so much stuff today la.
from the culture of korea, to the arts, to korean cuisine, etiquettes to be observed, synopsis of korean dramas, korean actors/actresses, i even read stuff like how chopsticks and spoons came about, blah blah blah.
then i found a photo of this!



A love spoon is an ornately carved spoon traditionally made from a single piece of wood by young men, especially in Wales, as a love token for their sweethearts, to show their affection and intentions.
The earliest surviving example, displayed in the Welsh Folk museum in Cardiff, dates from around 1667, although the tradition probably dates back long before that.
The love spoon originated from the "cawl" (soup) spoon. Over generations, decorative carvings were added to the spoon and it lost its original practical use and became a treasured decorative item to be hung proudly on a wall. Certain symbols came to have specific meanings: a horseshoe for luck, a cross for faith andmarriage, or hearts for love.
Sailors would often carve love spoons during their long journeys, which is why anchors would often be incorporated into the carvings.
Although the Welsh lovespoon is the most famous there are also traditions of lovespoons in Scandinavia and some parts of Eastern Europe, which have their own unique styles and techniques.

aww, isn't it sweet?
simple yet meaningful :))

apart from this spoon and the forever entertaining Korean dramas,
the lesson plans were a pain. hurhur.

meeting jwen to get some more of that nie work done tmr!
aza aza girl!

we got out butts down to work today, like finally?
for the 5 hours we were there at nie library, only one hour was spent on doing work.
trust me, the distractions were way too great.
we reached at 12+ and had a slow lunch.
then we got into that crazy-photo-taking-and-looking-through-past-photos.
reminiscence eh, looking at those photos we took 2 years ago.
and apparently, we 'grew'.
haha, it was kinda embarrassing looking at certain unglam photos though.

oh man, to think we bothered to even go down to nie, especially since it's not tuesday.
at least we got a little work done.
some pathetic encouragement la.
oh yeah, the reason why i dislike going to nie is, i've got no network coverage
which means each time i enter nie, i'm not contactable at all!
i can't sms, can't make any calls. it sucks la.

whatever it is, the amount of work we did today is meagre la.
but never mind, with our wits we should be able to get everything done before next tuesday comes, eh?
oh man, God bless the both of us =))




nights all!

grrrrrrrrreat ps exam is finally over. FINALLY!
it was so nerve-wrecking having to wait outside before my exam.
and when it ended, my legs felt wobbly.
whatever it is, those who had their exam this morning PASSED!
at least, that's what the examiners told us.
but other than knowing that we passed, their lips were sealed and refused to reveal anything else.

there's that nie left.
presentation's on tuesday and we've yet to get started.
this hols seem so far-fetched. hurhur.

Labels: General

we got into a photo-whoring session while waiting for the singer to come on stage this afternoon.
but the focus here is not on the 3 of us, sadly, it's on the 2 guys behind.
on closer look, they were actually posing with us.
goodness, they must have been thinking these 3 girls are mad.
luckily they are not full-time lecturers.

oh man, tmr's THE day.
i didn't practice much today though
too many distractions in school la.
coffee with jwen and aud, we were like drunkards, laughing all the way from smu back to school.
we couldn't walk properly, due to jwen's influence. haha =)
and the many crazy stuff we poked fun at.
cinderella story after that.

i should get some sleep now.
wish me luck people =))

Labels: General

honestly, at the rate i'm eating, i'm so gonna put on MORE weight.
got down to some serious practicing today.
a solid 4 hours and it feels great, that sense of accomplishment.
but i'm still damn nervous for that principal study exam on wednesday.
keeping my fingers crossed that the doctor doesn't remember me for that 'shit' which i blurted out at the wrong time 2 semesters ago.

oh whatever it is, all the best to those having their ps exam SO late, like me.
>.<

Labels: General

seriously, the thought of practicing just makes me wanna puke.
not that i dislike practicing la.
but that stress level which seem to increase by leaps and bounds as principal study exam approaches.
dammit la, those words that he said about the brahms rhapsody was damn demoralising.
it probably wasn't that bad, but i was so tired from playing the piece that whatever he said just got me irritated.
and i tried my best to not show it, since it's due respect a student should give to the teacher.
assignments can be done last minute, but when it comes to practical, it doesn't work that way.
there's performance class tmr, and i think those who are under him have to play their pieces.
this week's ps was the worst i've had so far la.
that explains the irritable mood.
darn.

alright, enough of sad sad ps.
i've been movie-ing quite a bit.
caught the history boys and mr bean's holiday this week.
both have been great, especially with good company =)

those who left for the cambodia mission trip returned safely on tuesday morning.
was at the airport to meet them.
poor sheena came back with quite a bad sore eye.
they were all tanned and looking very exhausted.
when aaron came back, he practically went to bed right away.

oh yeah, remember that nie thing that jwen, joby and i completed?
ms wong was very pleased with it and boy! were we pleased.
think we spoiled the market?
nah, it's the only assignment that we spoilt.
haha. coz we enjoy doing such assignments.
it beats sitting in front of the computer and racking our brains for one portfolio.
but the thought of having to do lesson plans, really turns us off.
and these lesson plans will not cease to exist.
so all the best to future teachers man. hurhur.

a quick meet-up with shijia in the late afternoon.
the walk made me not wanna puke so badly.
the usual rants we had, nonsense talking, and whatever crap la. haha.
i went back to practice after that though.
what a spoiler la.

argh! God save me man.
i'm so looking forward to the phantom and internship.

isn't it the student's rights to book a room?

me: knocks the door twice and even though he saw me, he couldn't be bothered.

him: reluctantly opens the door

him: what a great timing you came. what is it that you want this time?

me (thinking): it's the first time i entered that room today.

without giving me a chance to speak, he continued.

him: pls hurry up coz we're discussing something very important now

me: erm, i wanna book a classroom

girl: there are no classrooms available at this time.

and i left.

he could have spared me all those stuck up attitude and tones.
that sickening idiot.
i'm so PISSED.
how was i to know that you were discussing something so important?
it's not as if i can lip-read or hear anything while i'm outside the room!
it's the admin department and you can't even attend to a student's need?

he's got this irritating face that i feel like slapping punching.
oh, i found out later that he's not very well-liked among his colleagues.
well he deserves it.

other than that sickening idiot who spoilt my afternoon,
i enjoyed the earlier part of my day. =))

seriously, he deserves not a slap/punch, but a kick.
tsk!

photos from yesterday!
jobyna, jwen and i worked real hard yesterday on that nie thing!




busy taping, drawing and colouring.



the taping alone took up so much of our energy




TADAH! the final product! nice right? whoever says no will get a smack from me.


i watched music and lyrics once again!
this time with joshua.
it was oh-my-gosh-so-nice.
watching it the second time allowed me to understand the show better eh.
coz the first time we watched it, we missed a lil bit at the beginning.
but then, since i knew where the funny parts were coming up, i started laughing before it was shown.
so -.-''' la.
at some point in time, it seemed as if i was the only one laughing.
hurhur.
but overall, it's worth watching a second time =))


i'm a cyborg, but it's ok with mummy and danny after that.
it's a dumb show la.
the storyline doesn't seem to make much sense though.


oh yeah, about school today.
viva voce was not too bad since i barely spoke 3 sentences.
the focus was mainly on the 2 year 3 students.
i don't think it's ethical to bring down your fellow classmates just to make it seem as if you're good.

for this 15-minute long exam, i had to forgo the entire cambodia trip.
how sad is that!


anyways, i've gotta get my butt down to practicing.
i've been way too slacked.

Labels: General

this song is nice nice nice right?
and the lyrics are oh-my-gosh-so-sweet.

anyways, just a rewind on what went on for the past few days.

Tuesday

the get-down-and-doodle-on-the-mahjong-paper time once again.
we spent the whole 2 hours just drawing those tracks, rocks, mouth, boots, etc.
music and lyrics with jwen, audrey, samuel, his gf, and his son.
ok it's samuel and his 2 band students.
they made us wait for them and they were LATE.
we got so pissed, we left the tickets at the door and went in.
during the movie, aud jwen and i were laughing so randomly.
but the making-out-under-the-grandpiano was damn hilarious.

headed to mos burger after the movie.
that's when samuel found a wallet.
a rather thick one, with 84 bucks inside.
we flipped through her wallet inside-out, found everything except a contact number.
but to think back, will you put ur own handphone number in your wallet?
*unless u've got a namecard, but we're talking about students*
it turned out that this wallet belonged to a sec school girl, and she stays at jurong west.
contemplated on leaving it at the mos burger counter, but erm, we didn't know if they could be trusted.
and since it was 10 plus at night, the customer service counter was already closed.
we waited almost half an hour for the girl to turn up, but she didn't.
and since none of us know where jurong west was, we went home.

i brought the wallet home and told mummy about it.
she flipped through the phone directory and found the girl's home number.
mothers just think of stuff that we don't eh.
so i returned her wallet to her on wednesday, and she gave me famous amos.

Wednesday

i woke up, feeling stoned and it's as if i had a hangover.
was on my way down to the bus stop when i realised my ezlink & nafa cards were missing.
went back home and i looked all over my room but they were nowhere to be found.
plus i was late and jwen was already waiting for me at sengkang.
so i left the house and went to the bus stop.
but my intuition told me that my card was at home (i thought i dropped it in the bus the night before).
so i went home again, this time i searched through my jacket.
and TA-DAH! it was in the pocket.
but the problem is, i didn't even use the jacket the day before and i've got no idea how it ended up there.
then my phone started ringing and i couldnt find it.
apparently i left it outside my house, and didn't remember putting it there.
after retrieving my cards and my phone, i couldnt find my keys.
all in all, a horrible way of starting a day.

on my way out to meet jwen, i couldn't recall what actually went on.
like how i could misplace my stuff, blah blah blah.
poor jwen she waited almost half an hour for me.

Thursday

i woke up at 9+ to jwen's sms.
she said she's gonna be late coz she just woke up.
we were supposed to go over to jobyna's house to get the nie work done.
i took my time, coz i thought we were meeting at 1030 at dhoby ghaut.
so i told jwen to take her time.
then came her reply that she'd reach at 1015 or later.
*ding*ding*
then i recalled that we were supposed to meet at 10 not 1030.
i rushed out of the house and reached at 1040.

the muddle-headedness or whatever u call it.

anyways, we spent the afternoon at jobyna's house.
and we're very pleased with the outcome.
it's so pretty la!
even though we don't have that artistic talent, but it turned out purrrrfectly nice!
i've got the photos, but i'm kinda lazy to upload them.
so next time!

cabbed back to school with jwen for ps.
and the lesson was only half an hour coz dr lim had some examination to see to.
i played the whole programme for him, and it felt as if i used up all my energy.
well, i've gotta get down to practising already.
exam's in 2 weeks' time.

shopped around a lil with jwen and bought a few accessories.
more to shop tmr!
and hopefully i won't be late!

nights all!

well concert attendance is finally over.
did 1 review and 2 masterclasses the night before
left the last review to finish up in school.
but i ended up doing everything but that review.
imvu, lunch, slacking around, youtube, etc.
got down to work at 2+ and had the portfolio printed
we took ages to print, coz most of the shops were so crowded.
prolly due to the design department having their submission time clashing with us.

on our way back to school, i met ridzuan and that gang of ncc guys.
it's been ages since i saw them.

handed up the portfolio then we had the usual tau huey.
finished up watching hana kimi in the com lab.
heard some of the year 1s talking about imvu and sebastian was going nuts over it.

it's only 9+ in the morning now.
i barely slept, only about 2 hours (?)
but still managed to get up at 3am, through mummy's constant alarm clock.
after all the waiting, chatting, saying goodbyes, and that unexpected phone call, we sent the whole group off at 5.30am before heading for breakfast with the mummies.

gotta meet jwen for lunch at 12pm
can't get to sleep, coz if i do so, i'd probably not wake up on time.

music and lyrics tonight =))

harmony exam was bad bad bad.
i left the recital hall feeling damn dejected.
nie lesson lightened me up.
the getting-down-to-the-floor and drawing those stuff on the mahjong paper was great.
reminiscence eh.

history's viva voce was nervous.
managed to memorise those chunk of words *phew*
aural exam was not too bad except the harmonic part though.

too many late nights this week
an average of like 4 hours everyday
no wonder i stone quite a lot recently.

i tell you, history's seriously DOWN.
haha! we handed in our essay, like finally, at 6pm today.
a total relief man.
so it's left with concert attendance and nie work.

some random photos that were taken these past 2 weeks.

jwen and i went 'shopping' at sim lim and we saw this pair of weird looking speakers!

jwen audrey evan

we were at mr tea when we saw them at SMU playing that.
kinda blur coz we were quite far away.

Labels: General

i managed to chiong out that band portfolio within 4 hours yesterday, surprisingly.
but of course with the help of that circle of band people.
some miscommunications on the video thing that we were supposed to do.
whether is it the entire band or just sectionals, blah blah..
but whatever is it, my recording's done and no way will i ever redo that.

wasn't in the best of mood yesterday. probably due to that lack of sleep.
plus the rain that came at the wrong time. hurhur.

in the end, we couldn't hand up that band portfolio coz he said it was incomplete.
some bargainings with him, and he agreed to extend the submission time.
there's that history essay to be done before monday and the exams to study for.
there goes my weekend once again.
