dumb dumb darrel made project discussion at 9.30am

so early.. tired...

anyway, i've consulted ppl who're impt to me regarding gerald n me this wk

was hoping to get our relationship cleared before term tests come or it'll be very difficult for us to focus

hmmm... so far,

he's still stuck with carmen's doubts for him

needs to meet up with cui for further clarification

n lastly, my brothers... perhaps this sat

hmmm...

n juz last night when carmen was questioning him abt his feelings for me

i was tokking to my bro abt it as well...

it's like some kind of a therapy we both gotta go tru in order to be serious with 1 another

anyway, i told my bro tt i liked him for many things but above all, his sincerity attracts me most

guess wat? he showed all those ans, he gave carmen, to me this morning

n from 1 of it, he wrote sth like he wants e best for me

he wanna be devoted to me

to him sincerity is most impt

for tt, im happy...

coz indeed, im attracted to his sincerity not only towards me but also to his frens...

im hungry now...

n gotta go for discussion already... sianz..

okok... blog another time then

e start of sth new in my life

im missing gerald more n more each day
gosh... didn't noe liking a guy could be so troublesome
it makes me feel so handicap without him
though im starting to take more notice of him
my heart hasnt grown to tt stage of seriously wanting him badly
maybe it's coz i've been single for so long n had grown to be dead in wat i want n alive in wat i need
still, e tot of him is consuming me more
argh... muz jia you till everything is confirmed in march!!

CCN day on friday, city harvest on sunday

look at this kookoo
it's super obvious tt this fellow is none other than waihong

a very interesting sight
went to my gor's sch, SIM, for some stuff
this dustbin juz hid itself somewhere at e lift are
noe wats my 1st impression of it?
some fellow muz be telling others tt this is a stressful sch
yeah... n it stresses u so much tt it scares u not to lose ur every piece of information

anyway,
went for service in city harvest
i still cant get used to ppl speaking in tongues
i think it's ok to hav juz 1 fellow praying in tongues..
but to have urself surrounded by ppl speaking in tongues is really creepy
still, i wont give up on finding a suitable church
will still hunt for 1

wahahaha... silver hairband rox!!

here's a pic of waihong trying out tt silver hairband...
hehe.. cute right?
suddenly i felt right buying tt hairband... wahaha



nah.. here's the front view of him with hairband...
muahahha...

today's e day i lost my specs..
went for a swim in carmen's house then realized my specs is gone
y? how?
i really wonder...
wat a mystery...
same goes for tt $600 i lost on e day i went out with jaclyn
u noe wat? i juz dun feel much ache for it...
juz... unhappy with myself for being careless...
how dumb right?
dumb dumb dumb

regarding church stuff...
ya cui, y torture myself to stay right?
then i muz say..
i cant wait to complete my task in church n flee from it
i really wanna stay... but wat's e point?
i really cant find any pupose in staying there any longer
i juz cant find however hard i tried...
pardon for my inconsideration to u guys my fren
it's not tt u guys didnt mean much to me...
it's juz not right living a meaningless life...
besides... there's nth left for me to do in church other than e task im suppose to complete
how i wished i wouldnt give such commitment to this church...
how i wished i didnt agreed to this task of composing..
but i will still do it coz it's not of man im doing it for
its only a pity tt it's gonna come from a church i was nv really proud of after much has happened
despise me if u wish
mock me if u want
nth will get tru but words from e higher authorities...

all tt fun...

Saturday


in the bus...
on our way to GianT



my attempt to take a photo with his hairband on
sadly... cant see



ah... my other failed attempt to catch a pic on him with his hairband




ahh!! u saw tt u saw tt??
wahaha... his hairband make him look so 'girl'
wahahaha....

gerald was under forfeit on saturday
wahahha... ya... his forfeit was to wear a hairband, i chose, for e full whole day
ok, i too was forfeited to be spectacle-less e whole day
damn funny man...
i picked a glossy silver hairband for him
tt day, we did some shopping (on purpose) so tt he could gain some 'attention' from ppl
indeed, there were some attention on him
sadly, none of his frens actually notice him.. they passed by... wasted!!
still, i really had a great laugh

we went for band prac
i bet dekai muz be thinking there muz be sth wrong with gerald
hahaha... oh well...
still i was quite shocked tt changkai used to wear hairband in his younger days!!
can u believe it? tt's wat he told us

e day ended with fever on 'ouran high sch host club'
finally get to watch a new episode!! yay

anyway,
wat a waste to hav missed e entire worship i hav practiced yesterday
felt awful already
n yet to noe my position in church doesnt hold much of an importance, i juz dun wanna be there any more
i'm searching hard for e reason to stay but it's getting harder to find
maybe i shud juz catch a breath in other churches instead

tpco concert over

sunflower from yunguan

purple rose from natalie

lily from cuiwen

woohoo
e concert is finally over!!!

hmmm.... shall write abt e incident tt happened during the preparation of last night's concert

preparation started at 1pm:

i was late for it coz i was bz shopping for a hairband tt would fit gerald nicely as his forfeit

wahah... shall post e pics of him with tt hairband too.. haha

anyway, though as late as i was, i got pestered by wesley

yes yes.. i gave him some advice on confiding some1 abt his feelings for her

thank God he likes some1 else, if not i can assure u tt i've juz got myself stucked with a second sc

this is a good news.. wahaha..

e worst part is when he insisted on taking another pic with me, he threw his arms around me hoping to take a pic with tt pose

in my mind: go n die lah (去死吧)~

n my fellow cellomate was helping him with tt photo taking lah..

i wana peng

still, e day was saved by my kcp junior

how sweet right? convent gals rox!!!

nvm abt wesley already

lets go on to tt guy i was quite attracted to in tpco

im so happy i got to play with him a song 'ju hua tai'

we played by ear.. he played erhu while i played cello

very well expressed n we both felt good abt it

sadly, it's only for a short moment as i've gotta do some rehearsal with my cellomates

concert :

many things screwed up...

dun wanna tok abt it... hehe


after concert:
my bros went off to glenn's place i presume..
they should be playing ps3 or xbox300 through e night into day i'm sure
whereas my parents went off for dinner
well, i head on for a small chat with those frens of mine tt gave me flowers
wonder where carmen went?
i wonder too.. she came for my concert but left pretty early
nth much happened after tt
we juz chatted abt useless stuff, nth really fruitful, n then parted

but seriously, thank u ppl for coming down to watch my concert

luv e flowers!!! really appreciated it

n i luv e donuts too!! e taste is not as bad

tpco last rehearsal

u noe
we were basically wasting our time from 2pm to 4pm
we did move our instruments here n there during this 2 hrs
but hey... wat a waste of time when we could practice a lil more with our pieces
n when the lights were out backstage, this is wat my fellow fren john was doing in front of me


but im glad tt there was douglas, waihong, marcus n gerald there to entertain me a lil
so poor thing... they kept running around to get chairs for e tpco ppl
wat to do... it's their job right? wahahaha..
could hav taken e chance to bully them ho?
tell them to shift e chair this way n tt, it'll be a great pleasure. muahaha
anyway, muz admit, i was slacking with marcus n douglas one moment while gerald n waihong was bz with some things
hehe.. couldnt help it.. they were tempting me to slack with them...


somehow, time flies today, at least to me
i dun remember doing anything really fruitful actually
however, there 's another thing i wanna mention regarding tpco ppl
erm... actually... juz 1
its not abt wesley
rather, there's this guy in e flute section tt caught my curiosity running abt him
i muz say, he's a smart guy
dun ask me to explain tt previous statement coz i dun think i can
ermm.. ok.. simply put it, im attracted to him
not becoz he's handsome or smart but becoz he's got e same level of musical sense as me
wow... i can hardly find these kind of ppl so into music, possessing my level of curiosity towards music, tt made them change their life for it
i dunno... but it makes me wanna noe him more
e only barrier is language
sigh...

tpco 2nd last rehearsal

gosh..
totally skipped dinner for this rehearsal juz to see myself rotting away backstage due to e messiness of the program flow
honestly speaking.. every1 has no clue as to when my tpco event suppose to come in for the concert
there r like 3 different groups performing in the same concert lah...
gosh... how messy is tt manz...
anyway, rotting away i say...
i took a few pics here n there...

this guy is bugging me now...
he's been calling me 'zhou jie lun' with himself as the 'xiao yu' from the movie 'secret' after learning tt i can play the piano...
now everybody i noe in tpco is thinking otherwise abt him n me...
shit manz...




nah.. look at him hugging my left arm
im gonna faint
hav been running away from him during the rotting hrs



n here...
they r juz acting cool



my rivalry in piano
though i caught up with him for grade 8 education
still.. he's gonna graduate earlier than me...
wahuhuh...

e best part is... i juz reached home a few moments ago...
yes... im blogging abt how screwed my tpco n e sch's arrangement were
u see... tpco was e last to rehearse on stage
by tt time it was already 10.30pm
im already half dead with my eyes slightly opened
worst of all was to have me play my cello...
so many mistakes lah... n i kept reading e wrong stanza
gosh... tired.. i then reached home at abt... 12.30am
my sweet bros walked to my bus stop, where i always alight after bus 27, n accompanied me home by bus 372
they even bought me peach tea... how sweet right?
initially i tot there'll be a commotion followed by a mini quarrel at home for returning home late
well.. my mum heated the leftover food for me while questioning me abt my tpco stuff...
a different approach from her compared to the usual
but the same old sentence remained ' if we knew it'll turn out like this, u shudnt hav joined'
sigh...
n m now rushing my art project so tt it wont clash with my other projects...
wahuhuhuh...

catch ups with astha n fides

in ps trying to get all of our heads in the pic...

i should have been honest with u but tt'll break ur heart further...
the truth is im tired today n was hoping for a break
but i juz cant bear to reject u when u asked
there's so much to say yet so lil time...
ok, it's my fault to get too involved with the activities around me resulting a lack of time for catch ups
hey, it's music... i cant resist it when opportunity comes
the only time u see me rejecting a musical base opportunity is the time either i really cant handle anymore or my parents be heating up abt it


i wanna breakaway too..

is it still possible?

alcohol hangover lesson

What about a hangover?

A hangover is basically caused by toxins from alcohol & dehydration.

Congeners are toxic chemicals produced as by-products during fermentation & they are often the cause of hangovers. Drinks containing congeners include brandy, cognac, bourbon, champagne & red wine. White spirits such as vodka & gin contain lesser congeners.
Red wine gives the drinker the most headaches & causes nausea because it has high levels of congeners & toxic chemicals compared to other drinks.
Alcohol breaks down sugar supplies in the liver & because our body cells need glucose for energy to function, the lack of sugar makes the body feel weak, lethargic & lightheaded. The already busy liver is loaded with the task to remove the excess toxins from the consumed alcohol. It takes the liver about an hour to process one standard drink. That is why excessive alcohol consumption over a long period of time can drain & weaken the liver which means it can break down, no longer function properly & ultimately become a candidate for liver disease or cancer. Kidneys are also required to work twice as hard to flush out the fluid, leaving the body dehydrated. Vitamin deficiencies can result when excessive alcohol is consumed.

Causes of Hangover

Hangovers are a poorly understood clinical entity despite their existence since ancient times. Scientists now believe the cause is multi-factorial and their occurrence is not solely related to the amount of alcohol consumed.
Other factors include empty stomach, lack of sleep, psychosocial factors, increased physical activity while drinking, and dehydration. Persons in otherwise poor health have a greater likelihood of developing a hangover. Children of alcoholic parents report greater hangover symptoms than the children of non-alcoholics.
Beware, 6 drinks in an 80 kg male and 3-5 drinks in a 60 kg woman will almost always lead to hangover. Simply put, not drinking enough to get drunk will dramatically reduce the likelihood of hangover.
Some people believe that a hangover is nature's way of punishment to prevent future drinking. However, studies have found that hangovers do not deter drinking. In contrast, it may encourage the person to drink more, also known as an "eye opener". One study showed that many people with hangover, drink more alcohol to reverse its effects.

When You Have a Hangover

It is never too late to start damage control. The preventative measures described above are still helpful.
Do not drink more in order to reverse the hangover. It will make matters worse. Drink plenty of water or other fluids but avoid orange or grapefruit juice. Many people drink coffee; its efficacy has not been studied but many people recommend avoiding it as its diuretic effect may further worsen the fluid imbalance in the body. Eat light, nutritious food and stay away from greasy, fatty foods. I recommend bananas and yogurt etc.

Avoid sauna to relieve hangover. It may sound appealing, but can have adverse effects on your heart and blood pressure.
Liv52, an herbal remedy (Himalaya Drug Co., India) has been demonstrated to decrease the symptoms of a hangover. Another study showed that prophylactic use of pyritinol (similar to vitamin B6) reduces the symptoms of a hangover by about 50 percent.

Over the counter medications like acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen are frequently used by hangover sufferers, although their effectiveness has not been studied. Tolfenamic acid, a drug with similar pharmacological action, has been shown to ameliorate the symptoms of hangover.

warning for Hangover

The only thing that can absolutely guarantee a hangover will not occur is to avoid drinking. Most of us ignore this warning.

1. Ladies, don't try to act macho and compete with the guys. I am not being sexist here. Just that biologically speaking, men can tolerate more alcohol than women, even if they are of same height and weight.

2. Do not mix different types of drinks. Avoid drinking on empty stomach. Food in the stomach prevents rapid absorption of alcohol into the blood stream. Thus, the more food you have before and during drinking, the less the impact of alcohol. As much as possible, drink "clear" alcohols. One study showed that for the same amount of alcohol ingested, 33% of bourbon drinkers suffered hangovers, compared to only 3% of those who drank vodka. Brandy, red wine, tequila and rum are more likely to cause hangover than white wine, vodka and gin.

3. Dark or colored alcohols have small quantities of other toxic substances or congeners that are created during the fermentation process. Congeners are implicated in the causation of hangovers. These congeners include methyl alcohol, aldehydes, histamine, tannins, iron, lead and cobalt.

4. Drink plenty of water. Make sure to drink water or other fluids such as apple juice or Gatorade before going to sleep, in order to prevent dehydration.

5. Do not drink while using sauna. Saunas and alcohol do not mix well together andlead to increased health risk.

dirty beach

this is how the beach looked like this morning
it's so misty n dirty...
so sad...
