Love Marriage

YAY. 1 KOREAN DRAMA DOWN.
Watching 'Hilary and Jackie' now.

I survived!

I dug out my ELLE magazines today and started reading. Adib came over today to do a CSS template for my wordpress while I read my magazines and played Critter Crunch on his iPhone.

It is so sickening that even today, Mysoju.com have yet to upload the last episode for Love Marriage. However, Miss Ong recommended me this movie called Hillary and Jackie. 

From Wikipedia

The film is divided into two sections, the first telling events from Hilary's point of view and the second from Jackie's. It opens with Hilary and Jackie as children being taught by their mother to dance and play musical instruments, the cello for Jackie and the flute for Hilary. Jackie does not take practicing seriously at first, but when she does, she becomes a virtuoso, quickly rising to international prominence. Marriage to pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim follows. Hilary, on the other hand, plays in a community orchestra and marries Christopher Finzi, the son of composer Gerald Finzi. The film, though focused primarily on Jacqueline, is ultimately about the relationship between the two sisters and their dedication to one another; to help Jacqueline through a nervous-breakdown, Hilary consents to Jacqueline having an affair, in the interest of therapy, with her husband.

The last quarter of the movie chronicles in detail the last fifteen years of Jacqueline's life, during which she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and loses control of her nervous system, becomes paralyzed, goes deaf and mute, and finally dies. The film ends with Jacqueline's ghost standing on the beach where she used to play as a child, watching herself and her sister frolicking in the sand as little girls.

It's uploading right now! I'll go watch Mystarz LG on TV3. Cheers!

Love Marriage



My absence can be attributed to one sole reason. I've been glued to Mysoju and have been watching 'Love Marriage'. The main characters are so cute, even the calefares, and they are on par with Lee Dong Wook. Just like in 'Love Marriage', I think I want to do something new every day for the rest of my vacation. But for the whole of next week, it'll be a shopping spree for me!

MQH and I embarked on something new yesterday. We collaborated to form 'Stopshoot' and yesterday was Stopshoot's first photoshoot- Photoshoot X. However, the weather wasn't on our side and we were continuously complaining at how humid it was. Before that, we went to the library and I borrowed some books to kill time at home.

LIY and I planned for a picnic with the rest of the PRCS people and it sounds like we're gonna have a ball of time! We've planned the games even and all the games are music oriented.

So let's see, after next week, I hope to try something new everyday. On Monday, it'll be Stopshoot's next photoshoot. So, on Tuesday, perhaps, I'll try to learn how to cycle? Heh.

It feels so much better now, anyway.

Music at PRCS and Haydnites

The long awaited music paper is over! There were some drama before the paper commenced but overall it was fine.

The western music component was quite horrible but the non-western music component was a blast! Papa Leung had gone through the exact same Kabuki extract before. I kept smiling while writing my answers and tried to smile at Papa but Papa avoided my gaze. Even the African music extract sounded similar to what he'd gone through before. The Indian music was easy. I could imagine that dude playing the Tabla and the woman playing the sitar. North Indian music, my kind of thing.

For Haydn's 104, they tested the development section and also the contributions to the symphonic writing.

My Haydnites parents must be psychic or something.

So today marked the last day that I'll be stepping foot to PRCS. Tasha got kinda emo in the bus and I was moved when Papa sent us that touching message. For now, we're left with enjoying good Carnatic and Hindustani prata with lots of gamakas! (Insider joke) Oh how can we forget the kambing soup that we've been craving for since August!

Now... 2 more papers before I can slack for awhile.

Spongey Spongey.

Paganini in Singapore! Minyee is all geared up to watch that concert! How can we not love Paganini's works.

I managed to study all except for Iraq kuwait. Apparently, I can't stop laughing to myself everytime I come across the phrase 'Bubiyan Island'. At 9pm, I'm going to start on Haydn's string quartets and finish world music today and tomorrow morning.

I bought a rockstar bangle from F21.com and I don't feel guilty at all. :)

I feel like a sponge now.

P&P co.

I got pretty irritated with the popping sound that came with every message received from the Facebook instant messaging system. Then somehow, Joel and I created P&P co. P&P simply means pee and poo. How commercial.

Thanks to the nice weather this morning, I woke up at 10am today, just enough time to get ready to meet the Haydnites. We got chased away by the Macdonalds at Tamp East CC since there was some birthday party. In the end, we studied at the TMart Macdonalds. Ariston left early because he had to meet his date. His mum. Our concentration level kinda died down and we started planning for post O Level activities. I'm so envious of Tasha and Liy and Elaine 'cause they have prom.

So here's what's going to happen.

11 Nov- HSM3 with Liy,Tasha,Elaine and shopping.
12 Nov- Shopping trip with Hanna, Azryl and Razeef.
13 Nov- Class Chalet
14 Nov-Full dress rehearsal
15 Nov- Concert

Ira and I are going for some thrift shopping! How interesting.

Till now, I'm still contemplating with the idea of...

Now, I've got some serious studying to do. Let's begin with social studies, shall we?

Thanks Liy for the donuts!

Alive, Still


4 more papers down, which leaves me with 5 more to go.
Next week will be papers that require me to memorise, memorise and memorise. Social studies, followed by Music (oh Haydn!) and then, Malay Paper 1 and 2.

Tomorrow, half of the Haydnites will be meeting up to study music at Macdonalds to study Music. Anyway, welcome to the club Ariston! In any case, I made Ariston confess his love for Haydn by saying, "I Love Haydn".

This week was amazing, especially the part where Mr Thia called me! Hahaa, okay I sound totally obsessed with him...

Anyway, Dingping and I was discussing about what we should do after O Levels when I suddenly imagine him working at Macdonalds and going, "Hi Welcome to Macdonalds!" and asking the customer if he/she wants to upsize the meal with an ahbeng accent. Well, let's just say Macdonalds are not meant for him and You Jie. Like OMG Youjie doesn't want to work. Hmm.. Afterall, he has to teleport back to New Zealand to buy all the pens and take care of the sheeps (Baaaaaa.)

I can't get to sleep easily now. Everytime I close my eyes, I can see myself writing formulas. For instance, the day before the Physics paper, I saw myself writing, "P=IV". When I told Adib about it, he replied, "I see myself drawing lines everyday too." Freaky.

12 more days to go.
#1. Class chalet.
#2. Shopping outing with Hanna on 12 nov! :)
