i wanted to get online for the past few days but the bed always seemed more appealing. haha. guess it has been a good week so far, at least one of the better weeks of jc life. tuesday! haha. great day simply cause i had the chance to meet up with the great composer...i mean, pal, chen yi. lol. anyway that day we were at MOE for the mep interview. by the way, i just got a call a few hours ago today. i've gotten the mep scholarship! haha. i feel good; thanks everyone who helped and wished. okay back to the day. the interview, for me, was more of a reflection of how my life has been or is going to be, so it was special. besides reflecting on my experiences with music and leadership, they posed interesting questions which somehow meant smth to me. like how i coped when i was at the lowest, lowest point last year? even smth like how i would convince a kid, say of twelve yrs old, to play a trumpet instead of the violin or piano. so interview was pretty satisfying as i could, like chen yi as well, show my passion for the trumpet and music without any faking needed. anyhow, it felt good just to talk, talk about how's he and the other mep students were coping in ib, how's acjc for me, stuff like that. catching up time. oh we talked about how its so funny that now that we're in different schools, yet we both qualified to apply for the scholarship and ended up right before or after each other in the interview list. haha the world's a funny thing. i think we've stayed pretty much the same even after these five months living in the territory of school with the inclusion of a totally new species who can't do anything but...nevermind. the guitar god's done something i'd really like to do as well. going to china, and connecting with the kids there who sang along with his jay chou songs on the guitar. that's how we spread our love for music, really. inspiring. i wish a chance like this comes beckoning in the future. the morning was just great. wednesday was the band interview. seemed daunting with everyone recounting their experiences, but i guessed it went alright. no other comments. haha. today ended pretty well. besides the call i received from MOE minutes before meeting greg, enoch, and ip later on. my dear acsi mates. how times have passed since the day we collected our o level certs, but everyone's still the same old persons. sharing about changes in acsi, acjc and many other things over dinner, basically catching up. about how life's been a ball of stress, assignment deadlines, project deadlines, money, certain figures etc etc. about a certain tcher in tight clothing and how she shows them off. haha horrendous. about how's everything gonna be like after 1.5 years. learning about how two wonderful people who've done so much for the school have met with misfortune; mr tan, the estate manager who worked his socks off and helped the band too, collapsing suddenly and to his death, and dr lee li eng, one with so much for the band, but troubled by a serious illness now. i hope she recovers. they say that the end is just a new beginning. sounds like it for the end of this term, which is next wk. the holidays just look totally packed, as in, really totally. hopefully it'll be a good chance to strengthen friendships, catch up with people, especially those stuck overseas..haha. not to forget, studies. damn. performed 22:07 ©
