'tis another day..
gd morn pple~
u're prob not gg to believe this, but i'm staying awake at 12.10 in the morn, just to wait for my hair to dry. i juz took a bath, u see. y so late? cos i went with my aunt to watch my cousin's (her daughter, duh) symphonic band performance. my uncle didn't get to go cos he had to make it to an overseas biz meeting or smth. didn't ask much either so i'm not sure. so my aunt called me and asked if i wanted to go. turns out it was more of a sch performance, cos not only symphonic band played. there were oso performances by chinese orchestra, choir, dance, chi society and guzheng ensemble. got performances by both st nick's pri and sec. my cousin's in sec 3 ma. she plays the clarinet, in case u were wondering.
it was held at kallang theatre and i thought overall, the performance was rather enjoyable.. however, one regrettable thing was that the sound system was rather awful. as in, compared in VCH, SCH and Esplanade, of cos the kallang theatre would be worse off in terms of surround sound. but alas, i didn't think it'd be as bad as it was tonight. i mean, yst night, since it's alr in the morn and all.
but one thing i realized frm the performance tonight was tt i wanna join NTU CO, even though i'm not v gd at my instrument. i'll juz haf to start frm almost scratch. sigh. i wish i were a musical genius and wonder sometimes. i mean, dun give me longer than average fingers if i'm not talented in music la.
hm. i watched 'the pianist' today morn. it was reli, reli v sad. Wladyslaw Szpilman - the pianist (Poland Jew) that survived the war against the Germans. i didn't noe (or at least, as the movie portrays it) that the Germans were so bloody cruel against the Jews la. it was kinda sickening, reli. the movie showed how the Germans made the Jews live in an overly congested Jewish settlement, how they built high walls to force the Jews out frm the rest of Poland and made them live in a ghetto (is tt how u spell it?), how they forced Jews to stand in a row and shoot them in their heads and how they made them run frm their gunfire when there's reli nowhere to run since there're walls surrounding the settlement. it was, as i said, disgusting to watch. there was even a scene where the German soldiers threw this man over the window ledge of his apartment on the third floor, i think, just becos he didn't bow to them. actually, he couldnt bow - he was wheelchair-bound. so they threw him off his wheelchair and down three storeys.
haiz. wat cruelty. and there i was, sitting back like a couch potato, and complaining and grumbling abt the double tuition i was to give later on in the afternoon. honestly, i haf nth to complain or grumble abt. somehow i've always known tt. but somehow, it's reli hard to be contented with life and the way it has been. mb i'm only human, tt's y.
but nonetheless, i realize tt i'm still supporting the Germans to win the World Cup 2006. better them than Brazil. dun ask me y - i haf no idea. mb it's cos of miroslav klose. it can't be becos of oliver kahn. aftr all, he's no longer playing for Germany. it's sad tt he's not playing becos of his age though - the world cup destination is his homegrnd aftr all. i'm supporting Germany even more than i'm supporting England.
having said tt, i'm still gg to buy the latest Lime edition tmr. oh, cos it has an A4 sized pic of David Robert Joseph Beckham. CLOSE-UP.
haha.
