Coda 4 - a fitting ending to,,,yesterday

Well, I went for another concert yesterday. This time it was RWinds' annual Coda concert (RWinds is the Raffles alumni band). So, how did it compare to NIESB's? Suffice to say, I'd much rather pay $10 for RWinds (which I did) than to go for NIESB's for free (which I did).

Speaking of tickets and ticket prices, something funny happened yesterday. You know your ticket has a stub? The shortpart that's supposed to be torn off? Yea, that part. Now take a look at my ticket and Lin Jin's.

This is my ticket. Nice looking eh?


This is Lin Jin's. Spot any differences? No ,you don't get a prize.

Anyways, back to the concert. It was MUCH more interesting than NIESB's, for some unexplicable reason. Maybe the song choices were just better. Stuff like Abba Gold, In The Mood, you know, songs you've actually had heard of. They even played something composed by one of their own members :O (and he's a trumpet :D)

For the ensembles, a sax ensemble once again made its way to the stage. But their pieces were also much better than NIESB's. Huh.

lol

I could stare at this forever.

Thanks Lin Jin for making this animation. You're awesome (and a paedophile).

If you wanna check out where this came from, this.

Got expelled from my guild wtf?

So I was playing Atlantica Online today. I logged on, nothing new. Still stuck on the road between Sapporo and Kyoto. Then when I checked if any of my acquaintances were online, I noticed the missing "Guild" tab. Which was when I also realised the sign referencing to my guild above my head was also gone.

>.>

So anyways, played a lil bit more RA3 today as well. Fought Lin Jin, defeated him (again), tried to fight again but dc'ed multiple times, gave up, did homework (:O).

Damn we didn't get into SMP AGAIN

Jury's still out on our group. Phase 2 was just over and we STILL weren't selected. So that leaves us with Phase 3, now with two project preferences we can make and two projects we can select from (YAY!). Best thing is, one of the projects involves isolating and testing biologically active compounds from medicinal plants, and the other involves isolating and testing biologically active compounds from fungi!

Yea.

Opus 33.2 - meh

Today a few band guys and I went to attend a concert by NIESB (National Institute of Education Symphonic Band). It was held, oddly, in NTU >.> and so we met up in Boon Lay and took a half-hour bus ride over to NTU's auditorium.

Oh right. The reason we went to attend NIESB's concert was because Mr Jee, our TIC, was also performing for the thing (1st Clarinet; lol when he played tuning Bb first we thought that he was the Concert Master, but turns out he was just the Tuning Guy). So anyway, the concert was movie-themed. Meaning the band's repertoire consisted mostly of movie theme songs, what with Disnay's Fantillusion!(basically a medley of many Disney movie themes), Pocahontas, and others I can't remember >.> Oddities include a video game medley (seriously, Halo, Civ 4, and Kingdom Hearts? Nothing from FF? What the heck?), and a little swing ensemble of a Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophone (Want some sax? Get a sax partner now! ...ahem). The Pink Panther the ensemble played was quite boring to be honest, and I MUCH perferred our own arrangement. Their other song was just plain weird shit.

Well, anyway, the concert on the whole was pretty boring as well. There was one part where a soloist trumpeteer played Gonna Fly Now from Rocky Balboa, but he messed up quite badly (he really tried very hard, so we have to give him credit). The encores were quite lame, and boring as well. A Chirstmas medley wasn't bad, but it still sounded boring =\ the other encore was...lame.

After the concert ended (omg it was like two and a half hours long), we went back to Jurong Point (which Arjun thought was in Jurong East >.>) to have dinner...at about 8.30. The new and refurbished JP was nothing so much as confusing. Seriously, we entered the second floor from the MRT <.< (lol I changed direction this time). Then, we went up to the third, which was whatever, but down a gentle ramp later, we were back on the seond floor of the old part of JP. Which means we were on floor 2.5. Well.

Then we had dinner at KFC (we tried Kopitiam, but it was so packed you couldn't find a single free table), and went back home afterwards. We also tried to push Arjun off the MRT a couple of times, unsuccessfully =[

Red-and-Green Alert (omg HOMEWORK)

Yea, it's Boxing Day. Means it's one day after Christmas. Means if I wish a Merry Christmas now, it's gonna be so 1 day late.

Whatever.

Merry X'mas =)(lol this is the second repeat liao)

And now, for what happened today. Well, I wanted to do homework, but...eh heh heh...

Anyways, Daniel Ng and Lin Jin came over again, and Lin Jin came later to catch us playing Atlantica Online. We played a while more, then stopped for a little Audiosurf (lol I still get owned by Round Table's Puzzle), and it was Red Alert 3 all the way from then XD Lin Jin's friend Jenova was online too, so we played a few matches against each other. Here's the results breakdown:

Match 1 (LJ/J vs DN/me) (All Allies >.>): We got trashed.
Match 2 (LJ/J vs DN/me) (LJ Sov J Empire DN Allies me Allies): We got trashed...
Match 3 (FFA) (LJ/DN Sov J Empire me Allies): Everyone but Jenova got trashed...notice a pattern emerging here?
Match 4 (4v2 Brutal AI) (LJ/J/DN Allies me Empire Brutal Shinzo/Zhana): lol we pwned the AIs =]

The last match was pretty awesome. I started with an early rush against Shinzo who was beside me, and managed to keep him from teching too much, while I got up to Seawings and eventually destroyed his base (OH YEA I BEAT BRUTAL AI WOOOOO). Then Zhana was left and it was a little harder as she had a HUGEASS base, but between the 3 Allied players and their 1092387256123413954 Airfields (and my Shoguns =]), we won.

Then I checked out the resource stats of the last match and I was like "HOLY SH" instantly. Zhana managed to get an average income of 8000+++ while the rest of us (lol Shinzo) were straddling around at 1-2k? Honestly, Brutal AI cheats wayy too much.

Wow, what happened to doing homework...ahem.

Lol Innuendo post

On day on an MRT trip:
Lin Jin: You should watch Chaos Head. Now the main character isn't so useless anymore lol.
Me: Did it turn into an action anime?
Lin Jin: Erm...sort of...
Me: I mean, what with the girl with the hugeass sword.
Lin Jin: You mean the pink-haired one
Me: *I forget what I roughly said at this point of time*
Lin Jin: The main character also has a long and slick sword.
Me: Yea, his sword.

Yay First (Proper) Post

Hi (again >.>), if you're reading this, you have no life.

Joking. Damn it, why do I eventually feel a strong desire to start blogging again, knowing fully that 1) no one visits anyway and 2) it'll die in a matter of days? Ah well.

Let's talk about what happened in my life the past few days. Yay! :D

Alright, so on Christmas Eve, a buncha guys from Band (which was me, Lin Jin, Johnson, Patrick and Josiah) were supposed to play a few carols for an event Johnson's church had organised. It was in the evening, so in the morning I had a few friends over to play--ahem, to work on our picture montaage for the OIP trip. Lin Jin cme as well, because, well, he's quite bo liao (so am I) and I asked him to come before Daniel Ng and Jack asked to come. Lol.

The entirety of their time in my humble abode was spent trying to simultaneously install Red Alert 3 on my old desktop and work on the video, while also practicing a little bit for the night's thing. In the end, we accomplished only item 1 on the list (XD). Played 2 LAN matches against the AI as well. First time we nearly won (I was Empire, had a sizable fleet of 6 Seawings, which apparently could have owned the final AI's base, but that stupid Apoc tank trapped my MCV and prevented it from escaping from the two Twinblades that were raping it >.> Then the rest of my buildings got destroyed D:) The second time we played we owned the AI (lol 3 medium). Infantry rush is quite gay. Then they had to leave becuse Lin Jin and I had to meet them at J8 for dinner before the thing.

Dinner was at Mac's (which is the nth time I've had meals at, since everytime we go somewhere to eat it'll be Mac's >.>). Then we boarded 410 to the place (Blk 141).

This was before we found out about the...thing. Well actually no.

We started practicing. Then, in the distant future, on the MRT, Lin Jin and I rewrote a famous Christmas carol:

On the first day of Christmas the police said to me,
You don't have a permit!

Fine, his version was You need a ****ing permit! but eh.

So we stopped and watched one of the organisers trying to negotiate with the blue dude, that us blasting our asses off (well not really) was no different from that guy faraway who was also blasting his ass off (and owning me -_-;) on his trumpet. But no, he's playing at home, so it's alright. Our different reactions to the whole negotiating as follows:

Me: ...what?
Lin Jin, Patrick, Josiah (I think): Aiya confirm cannot play liao lah
Johnson: Hey Josiah, continue transcribing the chords please

>.>

Of course, between my cluelessness and Johnson's optimism, the other's prediction turned out to be true.

Blah, we wanted to zao but of course the exit was guarded, so we stayed for a while until Josiah's mum came to pick us up (=]). Johnson, of course, was left behind (it's his church after all), and me, Patrick and Lin Jin screwed around in Best Denki after Josiah's mum dropped us off at J8. Then we went back.

Oh Hai

YiFan used Phoenix Down!

Blog was revived!

Lol test post, will update with proper innue--I mean post tomorrow.
