IF magic 2005
Sunday, February 27, 2005

Had a great night out with tom & family :D Went for 'IF Magic 2005' - Magic of Love. awww.. a very nice play. The whole play is actually focused on magic..showing magic, performing etc. but the unique part is that they demonstrated those magic in a play form. I think it's a very good idea.. cos usually you see those magic performance on television, they just perform one after another.. which sometimes make audience bored. For this, they put in a storyline to it, where audience can follow through without getting bored at all :D

But u see, the main stuffs they presenting are the magic performance.. so I do agree with tom that some of the stuffs are quite amuture(wahaha spelled wrong). But but but .. it's the first time that i'm sitting so close to the stage!!! omg.. so beautiful, so clear and so nice! previously i did watch 'chang&eng' and 'miss saigon' at the theater too..but cos it's school sponsor, so we get to sit the most economic seats..right at the back at the circle. wahaha.. watching ants. but those plays were greeaaatttt.. the settings and stuffs too.

ok, back to the magic show. haha.. I never knew i would go and watch a magic show. cos i think it can be seen on television, so there's no need to waste the $$. haha. but this one is really a good one.. very impressive, nice storyline too :D thankew ah yee :D (i call tom's aunt ah yee).

---

After the play, we went Geylang for durians!!!! omg. they actually go for durians because of me. so paiseh. like act big shot. hhaha.. so i ate hell lots of them.. u know lar, even i'm not feeling well today i still will eat till i puke de. haha.. the last part of the durians are the best! but i'm too full to squeeze them in already. Cos my stomach's not feeling well and plus it's really ALOT! *ahh* satisfying. :D

I'm too full to sleep. and too sleepy for games. tsk. watch tv. g'nite!

---

ahh.. i'm attracted to a gold belt on auction. and a purple VS lace cami! and a pink VS tube with brooch! should i buy? hahah. :x

best lunch so far ^^
Thursday, February 24, 2005

Mommy cooked chilli penne pasta + dao gei(awwwwwwwwww) for lunch for me today :D (mommy cooks for me everyday and i bring lunch to work. but i'm still broke. spent on shopping + auction. just spent 40 odd bucks on a pair of slipper!!! casual slippers somemore. :x) wahaha..so if u all wanna accompany me for lunch must tell me one day in advance. lol.

My flash looked better and better each day. Today i added a 'hole' in front of the recorder which i forgot to when i first drew it. Now it doesnt look like *ahem* so much. haha. just done up the main parts of the flash.. *phew* finally having some shape out of this proj.

btw, does anyone knows/ remembers how to pause at a frame? erm.. okay it's stop();. but i wanna go resume from THAT frame when i hit the 'play' button again after the 'pause' button. I think i forgotten all my actionscripting. HAHA. but at least it's recall-able and easy to remember how to go about coding. wahha. unlike lingo. *rolls eyes* so unfriendly.

--------

Gonna have ensemble today ^^ and I'm looking forward to it. I miss 'my' cello! Jonathan said they gonna lao yu sheng later. but I'm gonna miss it! cos it's at 630. bleh.. nvm, i ate 4 times already. lol. but anyway, it's been a LONG time since i touch cello. din even go down practice.. tsk. will try to go down once a week to practice le.

-------

and yea. my piano teacher 'managed' to come today. >:/ if she doesn't I'm gonna kick her out, again. lol. seriously, i dont like the way she teach sia..then timing dont suit. so blooddddy tired in the morning. evening also cannot, weekends also cannot. tnnd. *grr* and YOU KNOW WHAT!!! she wants me to take grade 7 exam this year!!! :s how. ~.~ i told her before i wanna take 2 years to take this exam (which is 2006 august/sep). SEEE!!! she's not even concentrating when i told her this! *grr* c'mon, i failed my grade 6 just last year.. do you think i can make it for grade 7 this year? the 'too rush' feeling made me stress up. eww.

i rather brush up my techniques and reportoire first. Should i find another teacher? woah, but wah lan, troublesome. if i change another one, my 'grade 7 route' would have 3 teachers already! wahhaha. anyway, any teachers to recommand? HAHA.. im serious.

Today's lesson is superbly bad. why why why~ cos we talked for 30 mins and played for 30 mins. ~.~ all because of my toopid sentence. when talking bout sth, i said 'oh i worked in a music school'. *doom*. She started askign more and moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

At first she decided to do the pieces first cos the last time we didnt finsih playing ALL (which we usually did). then today scales also nv touch. *grr* ahhhh dont talk bout her already.

-----------

I'm still happy. cos ........... my pair of slippers is flying right now!! *high face* hopefull can get it real soon :D

This week has been pretty good, till today. Supposed to have piano lesson this morning at 8 am!! but my teacher failed to turn up again. She still have the cheek to sms me at 8am telling me she couldn't come, and must be postponed to tmr. *grr* i could've slept one more hour!!

Anyway, she blamed me for not telling her early the last time that piano lesson has to be postponed (hey, but i woke up at 6+ to sms her. reason: cos i'm too tired, wanna sleep more. HAHA). She's obviously getting revenge now. >:/

*looks at the mirror* see~! my eye bags :s

With illustrator + flash, what more can i ask for? WAHAHAHA. just like a heaven to me ^^ not everybody gets whatever softwares/ kind of work they want in ITP!

----------

Did a lil' shopping yesterday at bugis alone. heh.. actually shopping alone isn't bad as long as it's weekdays :D you use less time to shop.. Managed to find the socks for my rift! Previously bought one from auction, torn already. It's a toe + hidden socks. perfect. :D bought 2 black ones for tom as well..for his black rift.. and 2 white ones for my white rift ^^

Bought some purple sweet plums too :D (blueberry flavour). Wanted to buy 'Cream papa' for my family, but not much cash on hand at that time..haha..so i went guardian to buy something. will tell u when it's time. hahaha. *secret*

Illustratorrrrrrr!
Monday, February 21, 2005

hur hur hur. Finally got my beloved illustrator installed after going through so much trouble to have it installed!

With illustrator, life becomes so much easier. lol. Time pass so much faster, and working here became so much more meaningful. HAHA. blehhh.. and it's so much more relaxing to draw in illustrator than the troublesome photoshop. =x

And most importantly, illustrator + flash = perfect combo. hohoho. ^^

The Disgusting Peeing Man
Friday, February 18, 2005

It hasn't happen for 3 weeks already. yes! The Disgusting Peeing Man appeared. EWW!

This disgusting peeing man never cleans the toilet bowl after peeing. And you know, guys are real messy, they shoot all over.. *grr* at least lift up the lid right!! This peeing man doesn't! And it's not 1 or 2 drops on the toilet bowl.. its 5 to 6 BIG drops. how gross.

Furthermore, this peeing man doesn't drink much water, his urine is extreme concentrated yellow. All over the toilet bowl! yet to find out who yet, but it's definitely somebody from the office. lol.

I have to spill water over and clean with toilet paper 3 times before i decide to sit on it. *eww*

I'd better find out who soon, so whenever the disgusting peeing man goes to the toilet, i will not go until another person goes it and clean it up. HAHA. men.

-----------

AnywayS, i'll be starting to do my flash learning program - learning the recorder today. My first 'individual project' lol. Previously i've been doing graphics and editing and revamping of flash & director programs. But this has a deadline. 2 weeks+ for me to complete. kinda tight i would say, cos graphics + animation + interactivity + storyboard + planning + brainstorming + testing + editing + finalising. nvm, at least i get to do flash! wahahahahhahha.

orkai, shitting time.

anyway, I'm 'MS PURPLE' ytd. ^^ i wore x-girl's (tom's pressie to me) purple top + nike baller ID purple + purple pumps + purple tote. gosh, i'm obsessed with purple.

tom went KUSHINBO to 'book' seats first.. so we wouldn't need to queue for so long..hehe cos the reservation is full!! grr.. nvm. tom managed to get a seat before i reach :D while rushing there, i bumped into dennis + jh and juliet + unknown guy. haha.. dennis was quite shock though.. thinking of his reaction makes me laugh. lol.

Continue?


or not? :/

went around VCH area for a walk yesterday. It reminded me of MD 26- my first VCH performance. and my first major solo that cocked up. haha.

4 days going back to school. :/ it's really tiring.. i dreamt of performing at VCH again last night. gosh, the feeling is so warm, so nice. but on the other hand, i'm afraid i cant keep up the beat.

Cello, string ensemble - i wont give this up, cos my goal is to perform with the strings. and because of this, the concert is in june, which falls in the month of SPband going to sweden. so needless to say, i'm giving up the sweden trip. :/ which in turn bring down my moreal of wanting to performing for MD 28.

*sigh* i haven been going for 3 band practices. cos of my bad cough. argh. so today's my last chance. it's 2.45 now. left a few hours for me to think. should i?

and actually, if band + strings continue simultanously, i'm definitely gonna lose out in both sides. cos i've no time to practice! firstly, i dont have time to go for clarinet sectionals cos i work on saturdays too. secondly, i dont have the time to go down one day just to practice my cello. and when i reach school, there isn't any time left for me to practice even last minute before lesson, unless i take the later lesson.

how? :/

revamped!
Tuesday, February 08, 2005

hoho! yeah, finally got the 'urge' to draw something for my blog .. not fully completed revamping yet, but the bulk of it is done! what's left would be those text colours, fonts, alignment etc. :D

what's new for this CNY??
- i bought 2 new accessories!! heh! of course, it'd include my obsession- NECKLACE! yup, i think i've over 20 necklaces or even 30 kinds at home.. but most of them i dont wear often.. only on certain clothes..:D more like a collection..hehe.. this necklace that i just bought was a 'new kind' to my collection..

-a button black ear ring! it's a 'new kind' to my collection too. actually last week i bought 2 new ear rings as well. but i guess the rate that i lose my ear rings are faster than the rate i buy.. wahahah.. so it's always good to keep more at home..:p

here they are:

heh~ and my purple shoe. i love the colour!! my beloved PURPLE!! anyway, i shall paste or use a marker to colour over the 'trendy zone' HAHA.. bleh~ whaha.. see! it looks PERFECTLY like a mini boat yea?

posted by Cecilia @ 2:14 PM 


chill out


hohoho! Finally, yuan ting and i went dating. HAHA.. yup yup~ we met up after my work, and went shopping.. only a few hours to shop.. time is so limited with work. tsk. i want to get my purple shoes done today.. but the one i love so much dont have my size!! damn, they are bias against big-footers. >< the cutting is so blardy small, and the sizing is so so so limited. that pair of shoe stopped at size 39! which is not enough for me, cos the shoes runs small. grr. i can only fit if there is size 40. so too bad, i'll have to give it up. the girl helped to expand, but.. duhhh.. no use either. T.T

but!! haha, i want my purple shoes means i want it!! grr. i went to my most hated 'trendy zone' to get them. dont like the brand bah. but anyway, i got my pair of purple shoes there. ~.~ didnt care whether they are nice or not, i just want to get that colour.. haha. anyway, the shoe look like a mini boat to me. ~.~ okay, almost all my shoes look like that. waahah..

rushed to get a top done, and there we go, chilling out at coffee bean! muahah. shhh.. dont tell my mom i drank ice blended mocha. im still coughing :/ a little only. we did some gossiping! haa.. we had a great time today.. cos we're being seperated for sooo long! endless topics to talk about.. heh.. *hugs*

SPINNOVEX 2005!
Sunday, February 06, 2005

The event has ended! wow, we had a great great time there. Though i have to admit that our project is not completed + buggy, but according to the school, our game is a big improvement compared to past batches of RPG game :D


me and my darling yuan ting! right: me and my precious pri sch twin junior! her sis said she's too shy. haha..

During spinnovex:
Basically all of our 8 members went down all the 3 days (except me and ray, went for fri & sat) from 10am to 5pm :D It was a good time catching up with them.. especially my dearest yuan ting! heh.. we were stuck together like glue on saturday. we had hell lots to talk about. took some pics there too :D

There were several good comments, several bad ones of course :D but all the bad comments came from secondary school students. other than that, i guess the rest knows the difficulty of creating such a game in just 4 months!! damn the students. HAHA just kidding, they dont understand the difficulty bah..

oh, we did get a namecard from an industrial company .. so it's not so bad after all :D some of the bad comments are like "oh actually u all can include this this this feature, that that that features, and graphics can be better (pixel art is hard to do lo >< dotting all the pixels. z but haf to admit, it's not professional standard that we did it), and this and that" yeah..

Besides that, what we did at the spinnovex will be like chit chatting, sitting down, 'betting' on 'hypertyper', trying to complete 'rush colour' haha.. the MMPJ flash game was our main entertainment though, the IT students kept coming over to play, and we 'betted' chocolates on who can complete the 'hypertyper' ..wahaha..

Saturday, which is the last day was the most memorable one.. like a parting scene..haha.. we spent lots of time together.. from morning 9am till night 1130pm..oh, and met tracy & gang there.. hehe.. and that was the first time i talked to claire face to face..wahah.. she's soft , gentle etc.. whaha.. but u know, heard that her english's very good, and u know, my english is like .. )(*#&@($ wahah.. didnt dare to talk too much though, but she's niceeee hehe.. *excited* wahah.. we attended the beginning of the closing ceremony in convention centre as well.. but that was when the unpleasant experience came.

The EEE student (should be year 1) ask what course we were from, he requested us for our admin card.. okay, we showed. then he ask, "what is DMMT" .. okay, we said multimedia tech. "under which school?" , "ICT". in DOUBT, he asked the other friends "HUH? DMMT IS UNDER ICT MEH?". GRR damn him. what kind of question is this? he asked us what school is it under, obviously we didnt need to fake it right.. and obvoiusly we KNOW which school we are under! ridiculous fellow! and HELLO! we're wearing white top black bottoms, ALL of us, do we need to fake in SP to attend the closing ceremony and to eat the buffet???? WE'RE FROM SPINNOVEX!

He even snob at the teachers from ICT.. what's strong with him mann.. ~.~ FINALLY, we get to go in, but all of us were fuming already.. actually we intended to leave, cos we didnt want to trouble the teachers..but they persuaded us to stay..so we did!

Inside the convention centre, we were asked to move forward one row 4 times!! isn't that so distracting and troublesome?? then they asked us the fifth time, asking us to FILL UP THE GAPS. damn him again. HAHA. why dont he ask those pple in smaller groups to fill up the gaps, instead of asking 7 of us to do that right??

An IT teacher came to our rescue.. "I want my students to sit together, unless u can find enough space to fit all of them in the front rows else i wont move" HOHOHO. speechless..

anyway, they 'spied' the spinnovex. hehe.. they showed a video on what the students did during spinnovex. of course, all the actions that they digitised were funny! that was the best part bout the closing ceremony :D we can see the students gaying, lesbian-ing, touching each other..HAHA..

-----
heh! then 7 of us went cafe cartel! aww! so nice.. rayston sponsored each of us 5 bucks :D after eating, we went esplande for chit chatting session.. i've never talk to them so much before.. haha .. and we never know each other's family problems, personal stuffs... it was great! we talked for 2-3 hours.. with the breeze.. that was so nice so nice.. but now, everybody will be busying with our ITP already.. :)

Dream myths & tidbits
Thursday, February 03, 2005

Something insteresting:

1. One third of our lives is spent sleeping.

2. In your lifetime, you would've spent about 6 years of it dreaming. That is more than 2,100 days spent in a different world.

3. Dreams have been here as long as mankind. Back in the Roman Era, striking and significant dreams were submitted to the Senate for analysis and interpretation.

4. Everybody dreams. EVERYBODY! Simply because you do not remember your dream does not mean that you did not dream.

5. Dreams are indispensable. A lack of dream activity can mean protein deficiency or a personality disorder.

--wahaha i must be superb normal then, i dream almost everyday ^^

6. We dream on average of one or two hours every night. And we often even have 4-7 dreams in one night.

7. Blind people do dream. Whether visual images will appear in their dream depends on whether they where blind at birth or became blind later in life. But vision is not the only sense that constitutes a dream. Sounds, tactility, and smell become hypersensitive for the blind and their dreams are based on these senses.

8. Five minutes after the end of the dream, half the content is forgotten. After ten minutes, 90% is lost.

9. The word dream stems from the Middle English word, dreme which means "joy" and "music".

10. Men tend to dream more about other men, while women dream equally about men and women.

11. Studies have shown that our brain waves are more active when we are dreaming than when we are awake.

12. Dreamers who are awakened right after REM sleep, are able to recall their dreams more vividly than those who slept through the night until morning.

13. Physiologically speaking, researchers found that during dreaming REM sleep, males experience erections and females experience increased vaginal blood flow - no matter what the content of the dream. In fact, "wet dreams" may not necessarily coincide with overtly sexual dream content.

14. People who are giving up smoking have longer and more intense dreams.

15. Toddlers do not dream about themselves. They do not appear in their own dreams until the age of 3 or 4.

16. If you are snoring, then you cannot be dreaming.

17. Nightmares are common in children, typically beginning at around age 3 and occurring up to age 7-8.

18. In a poll, 67% of Americans have experienced Deja Vu in their dreams, occurring more often in females than males.

Bad start
Wednesday, February 02, 2005

*sigh* Intended to postpone my piano lesson till tmr morning, cos I was too lazy to wake up so early! (okay, those 830am start work peeps will kill me). yeah, i have to wake up at 7 to prepare so i can have lesson at 8am. and start work at 10 am. HAHA.

anyway, it was unsuccessful. i called my piano teacher and she blamed me for telling her too late and it's very bad for her sleep. HELLO!! I smsed her at 6++am so that when she wakes up she can see the msg, reply an 'ok' and back to her pig sty. okay, it's very last minute too. so, i lose. i told her to come anyway.

at that time it was 7.35am. she'll be cabbing here, so it'll be fast! cos she's staying at katong area only. sadly, she's late. again. i raised up my problem to her, saying that mornings are bad for my weekdays cos i've to go back school on 3 days (for now) and 4 days after new year! and it's very bad for my sleep. HAHA. i want my lessons to be in the evening. she rejected. sigh. even saturday mornings are not possible. so i'll be super duper tired on my weekdays! i dont even have time for a chill out session.

nvm, anyway, i was sharp for work today. 10am sharp i reached musicTEC. amazing. cos i missed the 9.30 train. *grr* i rushed for it, and i witness the doors closing and the train leaving. how sad. rushing in my heels, finally i reached musicTEC on time. but it's not a good sign, cos it's not nice.

---------
gonna have cello lesson later.. haven been going for 2 weeks. will consider whether to go band or not later :/ my cough's been really bad. cant play for long.. which refers to, i cant play for even 15 mins continuously! coughing and coughing. *argh* it's so noisy and irritating. i can feel it myself even though my friends din say anything.

The Sonnet


wahaha.. bored during lunch time.

The Sonnet
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDf)


Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?

Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.

Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.

You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.


ALWAYS AVOID: The 5-Night Stand, The False Messiah, The Hornivore, The Last Man on Earth

CONSIDER: The Loverboy
