So many things happened over the fortnight I was missing! Man, now to write about them, I seem to have trouble thinking carefully...old le, memory is failing..

31 Aug 06 SMU Freshmen Bash Euphorique 2006 @ Ministry of Sound
================================================================
Woah, one of the best event i had ever participated in the organising in. Everything went clockwork accurate, althought some stuff were missing at the end. The atmosphere was electric! So many people watching the pageant! Too bad the day was a Thursday, otherwise we could have taken down MOS! Pika and Grace graced the event, making it a new experience for us as we have yet to club together before. Too bad we didn't dance! Haha, but the suggestion for Grace's birthday celebration was to go chiong again.. lol. I doubt she will go back sober man!

3 Sep 06 Project Superstar Audition @ Toa Payoh HDB Hub
========================================================
I joined the snaking queue after my work. My brother was there in the morning before I departed to the library for my weekend job, and even after I finished, he had yet to sing a single note. Eventually I queued till 8pm (3hrs) and he queued till 7+pm. Both of us were rescheduled to 5 Sep, Tuesday. Tiring..

The interesting part comes now. Okie, I shall not talk about him, but myself only. First I sang Alec Su's Xin Fu Yi Wan Nian, 2 sentences into the chorus I was paused. They told me to sing something that would better reflect my ability, so I sang Shin's Jia Ru. Finished the chorus, and finally they said, "since you wrote that you have a wide vocal range on your form, could you sing us a girl's song?' Then I was stunned momentarily because I thought I was in the male's group? And moreover it was the THIRD song that they wanted me to sing. As I didn't really prepare to sing any girl song at the audition, I struggled to remember the lyrics of ANY chorus, but to no avail. SIGH, and I was booted out of the first round.

Anyway the lessons I learnt were to prepare more songs and to also prepare a variety of genres, haha.. Next year then try again, I guess.

Other Stuff
===========
Hmm, just went Sentosa the day before (Sat) for BIZCOM freshmen orientation. Basically went there to get roasted by the sun, enjoy a bit of the beach games but ended offended HRH because of my inability to keep a promise... so guys, when you promise something, please make sure you get it done. I am reviewing my estimation powers so that I don't overestimate again.. always have been late and stuff due to some last minute crop ups and my soft-hearted nature..

Jeff Chang's new album is out! I particularly like Shuo Huang (Deceive), Ceng Jing (Past), Hou Hui De Jie Kou (An Excuse for Regret) and Shang Hai Gu Niang (Shanghai Girl).. Jay Chou's album is also out! Currently I have only heard Qian Li Zhi Wai (A Thousand Miles Away) which he co-sing with Fei Yu Ching. It's so rustic and old school! But that's so cool as now we trying to learn how to sing like Fei Yu Ching while also continuing the usual Jay's fare. Hahaha.

Finally to end off, I would like to talk about my carelessness. My carelessness degree has worsened... haiz. Not that I want it to happen, but it's like my obsession with efficiency and multi-tasking has taken its toll on me that I just miss out small but critical details. Sometimes it's recoverable, sometimes it's gonna be one big mess... How I wish I could have a module on being meticulous....

One day if the sky fell, will you still be standing?
