Holiday Again... Yeah Again...

I haven't been writing blog for about 2 months.
I'm probably too busy to write any anyway.
You know, exams, homework and etc. etc.

Now finally squeezed some time out to write something.
Thanks to Mr. Whoever-It-Is for giving us a 5-day-chain-combo holiday and some time to rest after the exam.
I'm thinking of getting some time off holiday to travel, but well, something happened to one of my elders and everything's gone.

There is nothing to do for this short holiday, except for revision, revision and revision.
The PMR is just around the corner, now I am like an ant on the boiling pan(I'm not sure this sentence exist).
Or... maybe not, since I'm not sitting in front of the computer and trying to find something to type onto this post.

But at least something is good for this short holiday:
I don't need to participate in this Friday's friggin "Send off Party" for my society.
According to one of the committee members, the games that are planned for this "Send off Party" is EXTREMELY disgusting.
Hope that they will not be like the "Fear Factor" event back in 2007.
Be canceled! Please! I'm begging you! Cancel this pointless event!

*Breath in... Breath out... Breath in... Breath out...*
I'm okay now, it's just that every time I think of that "Send off Party", I'm getting fired up!

Yeah... finally, something to share with everyone:



For Males only!

Holiday... Yeah...

Finally, it's holiday.
But I don't feel very much relieved.
Got bad marks in Chinese today.
Dammit! I hope it doesn't pull down my average score.

What should I do for the holidays anyway?
There's one whole week of back-to-school tuition.
Now my schedule was stuffed.
I hope I can spend some time back at my hometown, JB.
But now, maybe not.

So what should I do anyway?
I'm currently studying a bit of -subbing-
In one of my older post I asked something about Aegisub.
Well, I'm still using it since it's simple and user-friendly(I guess)
Here something else from what I had been doing:


Actually I'm not really a pro in this software.
I got to copy a lot of stuff from the FAQs to get the effects I needed.

Example the sentence sung above "hitori de wa todo ka nai"
The whole effects + font + timing is:

{\r\k0\t($start,$mid,\fscy120)\t($mid,$end,\fscy100)\fad(250,250)\fs28\pos(320,30)}{\k1\fnMaiandra GD}{\k21\c&H00FFFF&}hi{\k31}to{\k28}ri {\k18}de {\k32}wa {\k47}to{\k25}do {\k34}ka {\k21}na{\k41}i

Yeah... like I will understand as much as you do...
(After all, most of the stuffs are copied from the FAQs, so I don't understand)

Finally, something funny to show from the same anime, but about 20+ from the one I'm currently "testing" on:

Ya a worm?

Dun feel like doing hwork...

These few days...
dunno why I don't feel like doing the hwork given by the teachers
Just went to check joey's blog,
the hwork list is short, but each hwork consists at least 10 pages
My my, today is Wednesday already,
I still haven't finished 5 of them
wasted this morning and afternoon finishing the PMR速读

And currently doing this:


Ahhh, gotta work harder tomorrow.
Hope my mum won't shout at me again.

A Visit to Bukit Jalil

Nah, this is not just a normal visit to Bukit Jalil.
I'm just going there to see the Super Band concert at Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil.

My my, the show surely is impressive (and I won't go into details here, for details go check newspaper) and due to our seats we are almost deafened since it is soooooo close to the big speaker.

But I won't complain too much, as least it's worth the price and it is also my first I ever seen a concert LIVE not on tv. It sure earned me some good memories.

Here's what I actually did that day...

3:00 School end
3:30 Reach home, take bath, eat *lunch*
4:00 Leave to fetch my cousin at SS2
4:00~6:30 Wait... wait... wait... for my cousin...
6:45 Finally on our way to Bukit Jalil
7:15 Stuck outside Bukit Jalil parking lot
7:30 Finally found a parking space (for 3 cars)
7:45 Entered the stadium, feeling lucky that I'm a male since the female toilet is crowded and the queue is almost 0.5km long (inside the stadium), but strangely, there is 1 female toilet but 2 male toilet... I'll leave that for you to figure it out.
8:00 Entered the seats, waiting, looking at the screen which keeps on repeating the SUPER 我叫你试 and the Munchy's --- bite me advertisement, almost bored to death...
8:30 Concert finally started, Suki enters stage as special guest (And her voice is nothing compared to the quads later)
8:?? Super Band enters the stage, the Rock-of-the-century begins now.
9:?? The song that I remember the most... “噢爸爸，我要钱，噢妈妈，我要钱，噢爸爸，我要钱，噢爸爸，我真的需要钱！Yo!" (check YouTube for details lah~, title is "我要钱”)
10:?? Wakin asks "现在几点了?"， then “我每次问几点的时候大部分的人的手表都坏了”
10:3? Concert ends, fans not satisfied, screams for encore. The four enters again.
10:4? Encore performance finished, everyone leaves
10:50 Stuck in the car park...
11:30 Finally reached home, take bath... sleep... *dreams*

Not bad isn't it, Wakin is surely funny sometimes, I'm mesmerized by the concert and their voices, simply astounding!

Gotta save money to buy their records, it should be worth it!



The tickets to the concert.



A close up HQ inspecition of my ticket:
AxCESS, August 1st 2009, 8:00pm, Block L13, Row H, Seat 22, Full Price RM228.00 (It's worth it, trust me!)

Recall the Choir Competition...

Subtitle: Blame the Audience!

Wonder why Junior Middle 3 Zhong, the known "1st class of Junior Middle", lost the choir competition to a bunch of *put anything here* Yeah, after the competition many ppl wonder why our class lost miserably, mostly JM3Xiao, the first runner-up. Even the teachers from other classes comments on our class' performance.

Normally, I should not speak about this stuff since it is been a long time from the competition. Nobody wants to remind him/herself of this sad past... due to a "technical failure", our class is DISQUALIFIED! You hear me??!?! DISQUALIFIED! Dammit!

Ahhhh... feeling better now, wonder why I wrote this message... maybe the tension for the choir exam next Sat. is getting closer.

Anyway, back to the main topic, the "technical failure" is nothing more than "not connecting the two songs", yeah sure, like it's our fault. The audience keep on clapping hands after we finish Candlelight Carol and when Wei Yi is about to start OH When the Saints Go Marching In the stupid audience keep on clapping their stupid hands non-stop!

After I asked my relative (who is a choir judge) he said

"Joining two songs is important, especially when the rules say so. When the announcer announces that your team is supposed to sing two songs, when you finish the first one NOBODY is supposed to clap their hands, (if you do so in a real opera/choir fest, you will be kicked out of the concert, no kidding), this is a basic in a choir concert, or probably the students at your school don't know that but well..."

And this jogged up my memory of what the announcer said:
"现在轮到初三忠(ppl begins clapping)表演了，他们所合唱的歌曲是Candlelight Carol (shouting and clapping and etc.) 和 When The Saints Go Marching In" (almost the whole audience is shouting, this shouldn't happen in a real choir concert, it should be clapping, nothing more, nothing less)

So... the announcer DID mentioned TWO songs, did he/she? So... we can make a conclusion that losing in this competition is NOT our fault or whatever stupid technical failure. It is the audience's fault! Thanks to their "huge" welcome, we lost the competition. This does not apply to JM3Xiao and JM3Ren since both of them sung I will Follow You and Take These Wings respectively.

To be continued... if I have the time to do so.

Music --Period-- Period

Finally a day which I can talk about something from school.
Today music class... teacher helps us to revise past songs,
and I don't even know whether I have a group or not.

Normally, Yin Tack should have formed a group but he disbanded it because "2 many boyz~" (I almost wanna smack him on the spot) And now I'm stuck with 3 girls and Wei Jian. Our group does not even have an idea on what song to sing.

To me, I'm confident in:
1, 梦田
2，Beautiful Dreamer
3, 年轻人的心声
4，请相信我
5， 珍重再见

The others I give up, either tones suck or lyrics hard to memorize.
Wonder what the other groups are thinking...

I only know that WeiYi's group has a 90% chance of singing 梦田, with his ex-high-pitched voice, I'm sure his group could pull it through (not insult), then the others are mostly spread out but I'm astonished since nobody is singing 红豆词, probably it's soooooo hard and it's beat is hard to match. (or should I say off-beat?)

My, my, let's see what Monday got in store for me.
