Deng, there was no need to remind me..... bother about ur own blog first. Yo shan, long time no see, and yeah... "tears" rocks.
Unknowingly, 2 terms have passed and we are into the June hols, the first substantial break since term 1. Where should I start blogging from?....Guess I'll start with the last week of sch.
Oh..b4 tht, just remembering that I overlooked something in my concert entry, the concert was my first performance with the timpani, I've never touched them in RI, okay I did, but left them to Bing Liang once I found out that my roll sounded digusting. Quite amazing that I could actually play it in 5 months, though with screw-ups here and there of course. On the first night, forgot to change tuning from G to A for chun1, so I was playing G halfway b4 tuning it too high to A#. lol.... For the second night, I remembered to change the tuning but in the end, I stopped my roll 2 bars early(I had to play while changing the tuning) bleah...other than those i guess it was a quite sucessful performance on the timpani.
okae...on to sch. as usual i have nothing much to say bout school, I'm de-sensitised by everything already. I didn't even react when I got full marks for physics test and failed my econs DRQ by 1/2 mark. Guess I'm utterly worn out mentally by concert and SYF. Even the prospects of failing GP common test seems to be too trival a matter to bother myself with. In the end, wrote on a repeat topic that we did in class, rather the only essay we did in class and comprehension wasn't that bad. Went to kevin's house after the test to do partnership bidding with xl. Yes, precision is accurate, but it also gives you a massive headache with all the artificial bids. Well, I'm glad that it's simpler than symmetric relays already.
Thurs was handover and zj took top position, expectedly(hmm..is that such a word?). Interesting facts to note, one, all guys in the comm were from RI comm as well, two, zj would be wielding great power now as a majority of his fan club members are holding high positions in the comm and three, percussion can claim to have the highest representation in the comm with 3 members of out 6 in the comm, thts 50% representation. lol, so thts me as perc SL, barbara as treasurer and Minjie as QM. Daiyu was damn nice, he bought stuff for everyone in the section, including a cuu....te soft toy of a big cute doggie protecting a small cute doggie. lol, if i have time, i'll take a pic of it and upload it. Barbara and Mingjie each got a dog too but they were complaining that theirs couldn't stand whereas mine could. They even contemplated separating the small doggie from the big doggie so that they could each take home a doggie which could stand. Luckily for both the doggies and me, they dropped the idea in the end. Well... congrats to all who got a position in the comm and thank you J2s for the wonderful 5 months.
Friday was interesting enough because of the "selection test" for NUSS bridge open. I arrived there early, anticipating the 16 boards tht we were about to play. Me and xl were trying out the modified precision system to get some practice of it in competitive bidding. Unfortunately, bong placed us in E-W which in the end only had 32% HCP. There was only 1 board where E-W HCP > than N-S HCP, the rest was well... u knoe. Therefore, our plan of practising bidding was warped into a test of defending contracts. We only declared 2wice in the entire "test" and both were "sacrificial contracts". Bleah...after the test, went to eat at S11, b4 settling into the cosy cube in the playground to do a re-enactment of Deng and someone. Talked till around 10pm b4 heading home. Sorry zj, missed another jing ying prac again.
Heading into the holidays, the contrast is really showing. From a state of mind where there was always something undone and something that needs to be done, to one of contemplation and reflection. The thoughts that were suppressed due to the hectic life are now returning to haunt and taunt me. The things that I should have done, the things that I should not. The people whom I've let down and the people who let me down. The words that should not have been uttered and the words that should have been screamed. I fell sick this morning and thus the whole day today was spent either sleeping or watching TV which provided me the much needed time to think through the aftermath thoughts of term 2. My conclusion at the end of the day was that JC life is much more dynamic than the sec sch one. Every split-second decision you make would have far-reaching consequences that you would not have imagined at first. Just when u think that I'm about to push the point that one should think through his decisions, no, it is generally observed that the most rational decision need not necessary produce the most rational outcome, often it is the opposite. The worst case scenario comes when u make a rational decision against your heart and then everything turns out the wrong way, then u'll be rooted in self-despair and regret. Thus, my advice at the end of the day, trust your heart, seldom would it go wrong, even when it does, the consequences aren't that hard to bear.
To honour those who had sacrificed so that others could reach the stars

In my whole life, I have believed in logic. But what is logic? What is reason? I spent my life trying to find answers and even sidetracked into delusions and hallucinations. When I regained my sanity, I've made the most important discovery of my life.

I just love this quote.....
It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You're the only reason I am... you're all the reasons I am.
