Change

Unfortunately, the song "In Pieces" by Linkin Park is too boring and monotonous to play on the violin. Guess what. Instead of playing that song, i played the song "Apologize" by One Republic last Friday. It worked out so well. I can play the whole song. Well, I'm currently, trying to smoothen out the song and remove any squeaking or glitches. When I'm confident enough, I'll post a video over at my blog as well as in my youtube account.

I would like to apologize to Jasper and KK. They were thinking i was going to play Linkin Park, when i didn't. Well, I'm working on that song too. Will keep you guys updated and if i do manage to accomplish that song, you guys will be the first to hear it.

Well, i guess, that's all for now. Going to practice the song on my violin again. Going to perfect it.

There's a lame idea i thought of, should i go to Cityhall underpass and play my songs? I might just earn some money busking. Well, maybe not, if the security guys find me first. Haha.

Objective Complete

Finished painting the main door frame. I decided to paint the bathroom pipes as well. Finished that as well. Called up a IT firm for a job. The guy seemed nice. He asked me to send him my resume. Done that as well. If i can earn some cash, it would be good. Deciding on a apple itouch? Maybe, see how first, or I'll just save it up for a new apple laptop or future use. With this money, i'm going to open my personal savings account. So that when i need to buy something, i can use an atm card instead of bringing hard cash.

Nothing much to do. It's going to be 3pm. Have yet to eat my lunch. Didn't eat breakfast either. Cool right. Wonder what my mom will cook for dinner? Well, later going to play my violin. Playing the piece i managed to write out. It's from Linkin Park. See my previous entry for more details. That's all for now.

What I've Done

Well, nothing much for this week, or in fact, the past couple of days. Other then getting used to my hand phone, I've done not much. Well, painted my main door frame today. Looks clean and nice. Tomorrow, I'll just finish up one portion and it's done. Don't feel like painting the bathroom pipes. People just don't appreciate the work i do. I got scolded for locking the gate? Well, apparently its a really dumb thing. Doesn't matter though. My household people react in very weird manners.

I've just written and printed out my score sheet, for my violin. I'm trying to play the song called "In Pieces" by Linkin Park, from the album, Minutes to Midnight.

Well, should be able to play. Need to listen well to the song and try to replicate it. Was trying to play "Apologize" by One Republic. First part turned out nice, and then the second part is too hard to play.

Trying to look for a job, but most of them require you to work on Saturdays. Can't work on Saturday, I have violin lessons on Saturday. No income then. Need to save some money up for my birthday and year end. Thought of opening my own account. So i don't need to carry cash all the time. Can get a nets card to facilitate easy purchase.

Well, that would be about it.

Finally Over

With AEL and Mathematics over, i shall declare holidays. Then again, there's nothing to do.

Well, should be updating my revised mark results soon. Had to change my predictions this time round. Sad to say, not higher but lower. Got my Nokia N81 yesterday. Actually on Saturday i got it, but the Navi-wheel wasn't working so got it replaced for a new one yesterday. Got mine in blue. Have to say, that the phone is really good and stable. Of a day's use and blasting music around, quite happy actually. Only that the camera is of 2mp and my previous phone is 3.2mp. Well, i have a dedicated camera for pictures, not a phone camera. Anyway, its pretty good phone. Quite glossy, so its a finger print magnet. I was constantly polishing it, till i pasted some DIY screen protectors on the buttons and keypad, so i prevent scratches from appearing. I take good care of my stuff.

If i have time, I'll post some pictures of the phone. Uploaded some music on to it. Video is the tricky part. I uploaded a video of the wrong resolution and it can't play it. Got to convert it to 320 X 240. I had mine at 640 X 480. Haha silly mistake.

It's a good phone. Sound quality is awesome. Super loud and clear. Camera is ok, and rest of the features are fun and easy to use. It's got wifi too. Wifi eats battery, so remember to have a charger.

Phones I've used so far:

Nokia 3315 When i was in Primary 5

Nokia 2100 When i was in Secondary 1

Nokia 6610 When i was still in Secondary 2

Sony Ericcson K608i When i was in Secondary 4

Sony Ericcson K600i When i was in Polytechnic Year 1

Nokia N81 Currently using


Well that would be about it. Kinda bored. Tomorrow, I'll paint my door frame and maybe install my anti virus for my computer, clean up my room.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day. I guess, all year round it's the same for me. So nothing much. Guess, my bro Soe, must be enjoying his time with his girlfriend, just like the rest of my good friends. Some what he wants to become a peace bird. Haha. Only a woman can only change him. I tried changing him in secondary school, but it fell on deaf ears. And then this girl comes by and changes him in a flick of her finger.

Power of love. Haha. Good luck bro.

Well, Happy Valentines Day, everyone. Those with love, enjoy. Those with out, go sit by the corner and cry. I mean it. Because I'm doing it as well. Damn. Haha.


"So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life"

What I Intend to do

Well, today is Wednesday. Just a day more to revise for my mathematics examination on Friday, 15 February. Well, kind of know much of the format. Just need to brush up on Integration and Differentiation. Practice a little more on the hard questions, so i can get the bonus mark. Got to really use tomorrow as good stepping stone to revise all i can for maths. I'm usually not good in maths.

Around 3 days to AEL examination on Monday, 18 February. For this subject, I'm very much done with the revision. Need to study more on chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6. Need to remember the formulas and "cheat codes" that can help to score. "Cheat Codes" being not for me to cheat, but I've derived some easier methods to remember and apply the formulas.

Some times, these help you to pre-determine the question. You need to just look at the question and you'll be able to relate with examples you have learned.

Have to go all out this time round to improve my GPA. Until today, i don't know what GPA stands for, but never mind. Guess I'll never know. Haha Want to do my best for everything. Don't want to have the feeling that i should have done better in this and that. Doesn't matter if i score the highest or the lowest. I know i had done my best. If i fail, i will know that i tried but still failed. If i get good grades, i know i deserved that and should continue to work harder.

After the 2 examinations, would come holidays. Well, might go out to source for some work, or maybe do some volunteering. Maybe those homes that involve children. It will be good.

Intended to change my phone today, but hey, my dad was feeling tired, so i decided not to go today. Maybe Saturday. My dad apologized for it. Made me feel bad. I told him that i wanted to go on Saturday, but he said he we'll get it today. Well, doesn't matter. Not going to fret and fuss over a phone. It's just a phone.

Guess, I've written a lot today. Tomorrow would be hectic. Not much of pictures to post too. That's all for now

High Voltage

High Voltage runs through me, powering my mind and soul. I'm done with everything. No longer going to dwell into sorrow and sadness. Not going to put my effort in something that will not work.

I'm going back to my past. To a past that once fueled me to great heights. The power, the lust, the solemn.

I will step back on my own feet. No longer going to trust the people around me. Those whom i thought were good friends, have now all lost their trust in me. I'm done with it. All the nonsense that you people give me. I've worked all alone all the while. Doing so now, wouldn't make it any difficult.

Taking everything from the inside and throwing it all away. You don't know me, I don't know you. All i know is who are my true friends and who is not.

Going to take my space back. I'm going to work harder. I'm going to burn it all. Going to go to the far end of space and work myself out. There can be only one supreme, and thats ME.

Missing

Well, i do know that I've not written for quite some time. Well in a small dilemma again, don't know which phone to get. Well, did take a look at some phones. No idea which on to get. Just felt of getting the nokia n81. Always wanted that phone, ever since it was released.

Then again, there are other phones i would like to get, some more expensive. I found that i just needed a simple phone. A phone that wouldn't break down on me, when i needed it the most.

Anyway, will be looking through the papers and reviews. More likely to get the n81. I like it. Getting the blue one. It's nice.

I guess, my blog has been quite dry for something. No new tags at all. Wonder do people even come to read. Didn't, make this blog for people to read anyway. I guess that would be it.

I Lead A Pathetic Life

I guess i don't know why? My life is pathetic. Pathetic hand phone that breaks down on me all the time. Boring life, nothing interesting to do. I learned too many things at one go and at a young age. Darn. 17 year's old, I've learned many things about life. There are a couple things i have yet to learn. One of them being able to work and earn money by myself. That's a big one though. Otherwise, I've enough to keep myself contented. Good parents, hand phone( although it's crap, at least i have one. Some don't even get to have one) and many more. Happy enough that if i had to die i would.

Then again, i missed out on love and relationships. I have yet to ride a bike or drive a car. Well, guess no girl would love me for my loser and pathetic face. Neither would i agree, that I'm incredibly handsome or so. I'm below average, or maybe even less than that.

Sigh. Pathetic life. Guess have to keep on going till i have to go.

End Of School

I guess, with Monday's arrival, it would be the end of school for the semester. Won't be meeting anyone anytime soon, unless if i have to do so. Maybe gatherings or just go meet some of my friends. Having just 2 examinable subjects this time round. Analog Electronics and Maths. Why must there be maths, despite leaving secondary school. Darn. Anyway below are the final scores i anticipate to get for my results.


Estimated Results:

AEL - A/B

Maths - A/B

EEPS - B/C (I screwed up the first part of it.)

COMPRO - A/B

ECPRO - A (He He, i know for sure. Jerry gets the same mark as me too. Team Partners.)

IAC - A/B

COMT - B/C (No idea if i will get an A? Maybe?)

EECAD - B/C (If I'm lucky on this one i might get an A. Darn.)



A's and B's alone are good. They aren't the same as secondary school A's and B's. It's ranked slightly higher. I think and A is above 75+ and a B around 69+ If you are an excellent bugger (I mean mugger), there's a chance for you to get an AD as well. You never know what awaits you.

Last semester, i got an AD for a subject that i thought i would get a D for. Can you believe it?
