BT gang's sudden yet successful outting!

Date: 14/8/2009
Venue: Subang's zone: Neway, Snowflake, Asia Cafe
Time: 12.30pm - 7.20pm

A really sudden (as Huey Yuan called for outting at 8pm the day before it) and successful BT gang's gathering~


After accompanied my mom to Carrefour, Sri Petaling, and drank a cup of Lou Hong Ka's bird nests, lolx, mom sent me to Yuan's house to meet up with her at 12.20pm...
I was wearing Phuket's elephants dress that day, haha!




Since it was approaching 12.30pm which we agreed to gather at Bukit Jalil's LRT station, both Yuan and i went there early to wait for Kah Mun, Xiu Heng and Chong Yew...
Chong Yew was the "latest" of all, he reached the station at 1.10pm, and we headed to Subang by Huey Yuan's car together with An Cherng (Wai Yong and Wai Loon were in his car) following us... (We made fun of Chong Yew as we kept apologized while he went in the car, haha)
Li Jin and Pui Yee reached Neway Subang earliest among us, so we just went up and joined them in the karaoke box..
Had a great time wasting time singing together (LOL, XD), except for stupid An Cherng who said he couldn't sing because of sorethroat..

After taking group photo at 4.30pm, Huey Yuan and i sent Chong Yew to the lrt station at Taman Bahagia so that he can reach TimeSquare on time to "pretend" that he didn't play truant for today's activity, lolx!
Then, we joined back the gang at about 5.30pm.. Yuan discovered a missed call from IMU, and she contacted back and found that she had been accepted for Medicine program at IMU! gratz, zimui!

Our karaoke session ended at 6.30pm... Thus, we changed our venue to Snowflakes for dessert~ Funny, i always wanted to try the desserts there, and finally got to try it with BT gang on that day, haha~


Nice shop and dessert! should have our yamcha there next time! hehe~

Then An Cherng, Wai Loon and Wai Yong said they wanted to have their dinner.. So, we went down to Asia Cafe and 4 of us (Xiu Heng, Huey Yuan, Kah Mun and i) sat there and waited for them to finish their food.. lolx
Thanks An Cherng for sending Xiu Heng and I back, see, i taught you another route again! haha
Really a great great date!! ^^

Jonathan's Farewell

Date: 13/8/2009
Venue: Jonathan(Wern Pheng)'s house in USJ
Time: 8pm -10.30pm
(the "prince" of palace, hahaha)

Got a message from Wern Pheng about his farewell at the night before it.. It was potluck, so embarassed that we brought nothing there.. lolx
Actually i rushed to INTI to meet with justin, xiao wei and pauline right after giving tuition..


I parked my car at SS15 and went to Jon's house by Xiao Wei's car...
Wahliao, his house was like a palace! haha.. So grand!
Erm, the farewell was about eatting, chatting and playing around.. ohya, with a "house" tour too! lolx..

ABRSM Grade 8 Piano Practical Exam


Date: 12th August 2009
Venue: Oriental Crystal Hotel, Kajang
Time: 11.09am to 11.39am (did piano accompaniment for violin student from 12.21pm until 12.25pm, i guessed, haha)

Accompanied by my parents again(ever since i was really young).. It's the last time.. Before i started my exam, i was really worried.. The feeling this time was different, not that i was nervous for the exam, but i was really thoughtful of my result.. God, bless me, let me pass!

I was 'fully-prepared' and standing outside the exam room right after the girl before me finished her exam.. Yet, examiner(a seriously professional lady) went out of the room and said she had something else to do at the back and asked me to wait for a while.. Standing there doing nothing for 'quite long'.. My feeling of anxiousness gradually gone.. Turned out, i was feeling ready to take the test(good sign, huh?)..

I tried hardly to do my very best, i don't want to keep any regret.. Hope everything would be fine.. Please, just let me pass!

i) scales- erm, i think this part was alright, i did the best i could already, at least my fingers were not shivering, haha

ii) 1st song was not bad.. 2nd piece of clementi was killing me thoroughly.. I practiced everyday, hmm.. I don't know, the song was like mess that i did during lesson? Perhaps.. 3rd song, this is okay.. Just a bit blurred for few notes at that moment, lolx..

(1st piece by Cimarosa, 2nd piece by Clementi)(3rd piece by Bowen)

iii) sight-reading- uh.. The piece that she gave was really hard.. I wondered..

iv) aural test- i did better in singing.. Can't believe.. Modulation and cadence, i think i was kind of ruining them.. Haiz.. And the very last part turned to tell her what i think about the piece.. Pretty weird coz she only played it once and i didn't notice everything of it..

ah! God, please bless me! I really need to pass this! Thanks guys for blessing me~

Ps: kinda awkward when we're doing sound check for violin in the exam hall.. Sorry.. >.<

buffet dinner at golden horse palace

Date: 9/8/2009
Venue: Carousel Cafe
Time: 7 - 9.45pm

Well, my parents actually got the voucher for 2 buffet dinner at this restaurant, since they went to phuket for holidays, they suggested my bro and i to use it during this term...
Erm, food there was okok, i had been there for about 3 times, breakfast was alright but not for dining, haha...
So, we ended up filling everything into our stomaches..
Damn full eventhough the food was not really tasty (unconsiously tortured ourselves, lolx).. Desserts were the best part of it, we should have skipped main course and appetizers all that...
Hilarious part of the night was when i went in one of the bathroom which was technically out of service.. i actually saw a sign board somewhere next to the bathroom door and i thought it was something about "wet, be cautious"..
Yet it was all about i couldn't press the flush button! i was nervous for a moment, and decided to keep pressing the button, at least there's still clean water coming in... Finally, after i had done everything i could, i stepped out of the toilet, and realised that the board was referring to that particular bathroom and stated "sorry, out of service", lolx! !@$!@$#
Well, I sincerely think that daddy should get the voucher of staying one night there (although it was so near to my house which we actually did it once before, haha) rather than getting this dining voucher, haha...

At about 10pm, we rushed home and got a nap... Lucky that we had taken the rest or else we would be dying of uneasiness caused by the meal...

Departed to fetch parents from LCCT at 11.15pm, reached airport in less than 30 mins...


Parents got me an elephant-painted dress (which had 69 elephants on 1 side, an cherng, you got half of it correct, haha)~

8/8/2009

Huey Yuan's Pre-birthday diner~

Should have given piano accompaniment lesson to my violin student but she couldn't make it, so my afternoon was free~



Bro helped me to fetch Ye Vone back to our house before we (Vone and i) went to Gardens together... Two of us went earlier to get Huey Yuan's birthday present and shopped around!


(Yuan's birthday present~)

I drove both Vone and i there by my dad's car... Wore the Carlo Rino heel which made my leg ache badly in the night (as i couldn't sleep and asked my bro to massage for me, which worsen the situation, lucky that i remember of the external medicine which was bought in China last time).


Vone bought the pair of shoe which i tried last time... Weird that the shoe really suit her foot shape, ahhahaa!

Girls (Huey Yuan, Kah Mun, Zer Yun) joined us at about 6pm, we had a great time hanging out together... Had dinner at Sushi Zanmai~ Nice chat around... The night ended at 9.30pm++ and i sent Kah Mun back...
Really appreciate the girls' date we had~ ^^

Finished Finals!

I lost my ruby umbrella last wednesday! it was after the last physics class... It was raining in the morning, i still remember to take my umbrella which i left at the back of the class for drying purpose when pauline reminded me before she left the class.. then, i was about to ask miss jerry question regarding tutorials.. Classmates were asking for group photo, then i left school after the photography session, and thus, bye bye to my umbrella.. >.<>

oh ya, finally that my piano has came back after "serious" repair... The touching became better, at least i can play my thrill freely now! haha~ was about to change a new piano, but then when i reached the studio on thursday night with my parents, they tended to close the shop earlier.. decision changed, and then my piano was sent for repair on friday, came back on tuesday(4/8)...
(see, after the "craftman" brought back the inner part of the piano)


Back to mom's hometown-Sekinchan for the weekend before my finals..ate quite a lot of seafoods, hahha... Gave piano accompaniment to the violin student on saturday morning before i went back to hometown by cousin's car (bro and dad joined the family on sunday~), felt like dying coz it was an one-hour class for grade 1 violin pieces... I think i had played three songs for about 50 times already... hahhaa


Statistics finals fell on monday 3/8, 8am to 10am at MPH.. Erm, the test was "complicated" as we have to do from the first minute until the very last minute non-stop... But i think those questions are similar with our practises so far...


Both Physics and Linear Algebra were on 5/8, with 1 hour break in between.. so damn stressed! haha.. physics was alright coz miss jerry had "reviewed" exam syllabus with us before.. and she was the one who set the paper! ahaha... Forgot to mention, i got 59.8/60 for my physics coursework..lolx... Linear Algebra was set by our lecturer, Ms Shanta, erm, to be frank, the test is hard.. Just like Stats, you must write and think really fast so that you could finish the questions.. Luckily the Gram-Schmidt's process was not as complex as what we did for our tests.. haha...
(Ms Shanta and me)

I actually slept at 1.30am and woke up at 7am on tuesday night, my piano teacher said i should be quite "bersemangat" as i slept so early for the finals (coz i had my piano lesson at 5.15pm right after both physics and linear finals).. anyway, i think mathematics paper is not about how much you read but how much you understand the concepts and how spontaneous you are during the test.. if you can figure it out right when you saw the paper, everything is solved, if you stucked there, then you might need more than 2 hours to get everything solve... (i realized this badly after my cal 3 finals last semester, i still remembered the moment when i opened the paper, i seriously prayed that i can get it passed, haha)


YEAH! here gone my finals! many people just started their first paper on wednesday, and i am the one who finished my finals on that day! hehe... Yet, gonna put all my energy on my piano practical now! the exam is next wednesday! ARHH Clementi is killing me! lolx...

(Just sent parents to the airport at 4am...returned home at 6am, brother and i (i'm the one who drove) quickly lied on bed again without saying anything, haha!)

John's Birthday Dinner

Date: 29th of July 2009
Venue: Sunway Pyramid
Time: 7pm to 10pm

Finally that John is same age with me, lolx!


Well, the whole concept about the dinner can be concluded into one word which is "full" or "zei - cantonese"...



With the dinner at Manhattan's Fish Market (Pauline and i were sharing the twin set which we only finished about three quarter of the whole meal, "leftover" eaten by Casey and Xiao Wei them, lolx), Cake from Secret Recipe (which i only had a small bite, my tummy was complaining!), and lastly the dessert ice-cream from New Zealand Natural Ice-Cream...


Pretty scary right?!
We're sitting at a really long table which consisted of about 20 to 30 people i guessed.. haha



Anyway, great night with college friends!



(oh ya, i should have mentioned that we didn't even pay 1 cent for the ice-cream.. and whole bunch of us had ate like 11 regular bucket of it.. hahaha! thanks to prom king john... but it's ur responsibility to treat us since we're the one who made you won this marvelous gift, lolx - as he still has about 13 buckets left, haha)
