Obviously my title sound so....perasan. HAHA!!


Yeah. I decided to start blogging again. Hehehe....and I know my number of readers has dropped exponentially (mathematician's way of saying 'dropped dramatically'). But my purpose in blogging is not to be famous right? (Wrong!)


So my absence is due to my 'rising fame'. Cos I find that there are a lot of people who actually reads my blog (from Malaysia and out of Malaysia) and thank you so much for reading it. It's an honor that people actually do read my rants and find my ideas interesting.


But the thing is.....this....'rising fame' is scary to me. I came to a point in my life where I realize that I am a private person. And the thought of people that I do not know knows something about me. And the thought of some random kid in college go "Hey, you're the author for Scribbles of A Girl right?" scares me. All of this scares me. But the fact that I am blogging right now means that I am giving it a second chance. But of course, I'll only write what people want to read. Nothing so very personal. Maybe a little. Like I said, who would want to read a blog post that's just talking mushy stuff about a guy right? I wouldn't want my dear readers reaching out for a plastic bag and barf all the way. =) I'm too nice to do that.


There's lots going on in my life right now. Am doing my 1st year Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Yay! =( Life just gets harder. And at times, I wonder why I have to do things I don't enjoy to get by in life? It's.....unfair. But what to do? Without money, we can't pursue our dreams. That is a fact.


I met a new friend this semester! Yay! =D Well, I thank God for her because she is truly a prayer answered. =) Because I had a friend in Foundation who is high maintenance. Not in terms of money, but in terms of care. And she has been a burden on me. The only reason why I didn't 'dump' her is because she doesn't really have friends and is constantly having suicidal thoughts. And she's always making me feel guilty. After my Foundation studies was over, I really asked God that she wouldn't continue here in Swinburne but elsewhere. And I asked God for a friend. Better than her. I even gave God the criterias that I wanted in a friend. LOL if you like, but it WORKED. He gave me a friend, though she arrived 3 weeks later. Haha..... God works in amazing ways man.....and guess what? She is everything that I wanted in a friend...sama palak but not so sama. If you get what I mean. =P



Okay, that's all. (Well, not really.)

Pa Dap Pap Pa Dap Pap Pa Ah.....

Hey there!

Yeah...I know my blog's been stagnant and boring. meh. Blogging's getting boring. Well, not really. Haha. Actually, I've loads of ideas floating in my head and by the time I get to my PC, I just don't feel like sitting down and blog. I just need "THE MOOD". LOL.


Anyway, I logged in just to post a video. It's New Empire's New Empire TV. Watch it closely. =P


Enjoy! (^^,)

I'm having a really bad stomachache since last night. I don't know what's going on but I think it's a gastric. Went online to see the symptoms and turns out that it's not caused by not eating as I thought it was but it's due to an inflamed stomach lining that could be caused by alcohol consumption. So I'm not going to classes today. Good thing I only have a 2 hour lecture today.


I wanted to post something today.....but due to the pain in my stomach, guess not. =/

I love Chinese Guy

He's right about some stuff. You gotta check this guy out. Warning: Boleh menyebabkan anda terasa sikit. =]

Complaints

I think Swinburne's boring. Yes. You heard me. The most 'glamorous' college is by far the most boring Uni you could ever go to. The activities that they have like Battle of The Bands...Swin Night...Prom Night..... It's all getting boring. And I can tell you that 80% of the activities (like Swin Night) are like ones where you must dress to kill....music....it's so.....typical. I envy people in Unimas. Unimas seem to have the craziest and lamest but fun activities.. I want that. I might as well transfer to Unimas but........study wise, I still like Swinburne. You know, when I tell people that I'm in Swinburne, they're like "wow...nice....cool! One of the prestigous Uni in Kuching and bla, bla, bla..." All the activities we have...they're more for like the rich people kinda activities. Why can't we have like Malam Kebudayaan ka.....Malam Citrawarna ka....or anything like that. Well, I don't wana join Student Council as I said, people in there are snobs and such. I won't fit in...or....I'll end up becoming like them. No, I won't give up my humanity. I don't want to be yet another typical plastic Swinburne kid.


And don't you think Secret Recipe cakes suck? Well, except for Chocolate Indulgence.... The rest are just not nice. People actually couldn't believe my birthday cake was from Mita and not Secret Recipe. Sorrylarr.....Secret Recipe punya "Moist CHocolate Cake" is so not moist.... I still love Mita's stuff. They specialize in baking. Of course better than Secret Recipe.


And Paramore's Ignorance Official Video is out on MTV!

While everyone's into Lady Gaga......

I'm into Little Boots. I just love the British pop scene like Lily Allen.

Enjoy. =]

Ol' Times

WOohoo!! I'm going back to band again!! Woohoo!! Im' STOKED!!! This time as Colour Guard. Someone dancing...I know....so weird kan? Hahaha...ME.... Dancing........ But I'm more into throwing those flags. =]


Going back to school again...hahaha........that's gona be fun....and weird. Cos...every other band member will be those still schooling while I might be the only one who's not. The only alumni there.....hmm........ Kinda feel weird cos there would be no one my age to talk to but it's always refreshing to talk to people younger than you......Cos they make you feel young again. HAHAHA....... and then you'll realise you're older and wiser cos they come to you with many problems and you have a 1001 advice to give them. Hahaha....


I know it's gona be really stressful juggling between band and studies cos I'm gona start my Degree real soon...as in, NEXT WEEK!!! WOW....... I really wonder if I can cope. But.....if you were a band member and you have a chance to do it all over again, you would definitely to do at all cost.


I'm not so hard core as compared to last time. If The Cavaliers or Blue Devils win....meh, I don't care nemore. Since I'm no longer in it....it doesn't seem to make me excited anymore, for all I care. All I care is that I am in a marching band and still doing it. Anyway, watching it makes me miss being in a marching band even more! And it makes me fantasize about joining it once again. I definitely didn't want my head to be bubbled up with my imagination. Also, I don't wana watch some other team win, I want MY team to win. Well, this kinda mentality was instilled in me during Kester's era in Green Chords. I became unusually competitive.


So what's a marching band? It's kinda like a uniform body that plays an instrument. I guess that's how you categorize that. Well, what we do for every band practice is pretty much the same. We spend day up till night in school on Saturdays to practice, practice and practice. Amidst all that work, we still have a fair share of play. We have our crazy times.


A day in band practice kicks start with physical training. And this is one of my favourite. It pumps up adrenaline into every nook and cranny of your body. Physical training starts at 7.30am and can last until 9am? It varies actually.... So we're pretty fit cos physical training's very intense. It includes the usual joggings, suicides, carrying chairs over your head for 5 minutes, stretchings and loads other weird physically draining things you can think of. I hate frog jumps but it's good.


After that would be body flexibility exercises where we do exercises that helps make our body more flexible. Followed by our marching fundamentals where we learn our physically strainous marching stuff. Easy but if done over and over again, it's tiring and boring. And you'll get annoyed with people who just can't get it right.


Then comes the fun and the best part........the actual action where we start doing our formation which starts at about 10am before the sun's scorching hot.


That's part of our schedule for practice. And it goes on till night. And we do this for months to complete a 10 minute show. It is amazing how we put in a lot of time to perfect something that lasts only minutes. And those 10 minutes would be the best adrenaline pumping moment of your life cos after all those hard work, you can finally show your stuff to everyone.


That's one of the joy of marching band for me. I love being at the field doing my stuff and showing it off. It's just what I love to do - performing. To me, marching band is a place to cultivate performers and creative people. Cos on field, we can let our imagination go wild and put up crazy choreography. In a way, marching band could be a kind of performing art. Maybe it is but I just didn't know.


I love what I'm doing and I am not going let this chance go, that's for sure. =]
