hahahah mine !! ruby cause thats my stone.

okie the it started snowing early afternoon of the second day.
i was just wearing a tee shirt with a pull over, we got caught off guard.
came out of the restaurant, next think we knew, of its snowing.

roughly about early evening.

morning after the snow.

it snowed for an entire day. this is the evening of the day after the snow.

same as the picture above. the snow doesn't melt that fast.

me. this is like 2 days after the snow fall. and the floor is still covered in snow.

sam won gardens. free flow of beef in 5 different korean cooking styles.

this was also the place where i saw that beauty.

it froze.

okie, didnt really take much pictures.

cause most of the time, we were in the different restaurants.

eating, drinking, chatting. each time we sat down, it was like 2 hrs long.

in between, we did SOME shopping. if not, we would be in the car.

travelling time is a killer. literally, you sit in the car till your legs go weak.

got myself a few things from the trip.

something like a trench coat, not the super long one. slightly above the knee.

a bottle of chivas regal royal salute. some korean drinking pals haha.

oh yeah, the food there hahaha. its either super fresh, like cooked in front of you.

if not, its fermented food like kimchi.

there are in betweens, the not so traditional ones.

and i managed to make some girls turn their heads for the right reason HAHA.

apparently, their guys aren't that good looking.

we have got premium stock in sg i guess, well known for our QC anyway. hehe.

something happened just now, during dinner.
see, we were having dinner with the CEO.
and naturally, her right hand men were there. she has 3.
tonight is like the 2nd such dinner together.
so, what happened on monday night, 1st dinner,
was that her sister's family was present. and her sister, ordered some sake.
and after asking and asking, i couldn't decline drinking with them, kinda rude.
so i drank. they asked and i replied it was mild. and they said, wait till you try soju.
so they ordered it, and again they asked, and again i replied, really mild, pretty light.
in all, i had 3 shots of sake and another 3 or 4 shots of soju.
and one of the right hand man, and the chauffer said i could drink.
so tonight was our 2nd dinner, all 3 of the guys were around.
and they made me drink fermented rice wine, what they call, farmer's wine.
they said, oh its not strong right now,
the effect would hit you when you wake up tomorrow.
and they ,ade me drink and drink, tried to make me drunk haha.
ended up, two of them got tipsy hhahaha, our driver didnt drink of cause.
one of them even tried a bracelet meant for his wife hahah.
the boss and another 2 girls were going and going in korean about me.
i seriously have no idea what were they chatting about.

i saw this really sweet korean girl today, during lunch.
my god, i could stop looking at her reflection in the mirror.
we were seated at adjacent tables, both of us were facing this wall of mirror.
she's really beautiful. sharp features and all. kinda bitchy looking though.
i guess that comes with the looks. thing is, when they speak,
they sound like they are quarrelling. quite fierce hahah. scolded her younger bro.
tone was really cold and calm. her bro wanted to get up.
she just told him off and gestured him to remain seated. haha
he did so quietly hahahah. guess the girls run the house hold matters.
oh yes, 1 in 1000 are able to make it. there's no in between.
they are at the extremes. oh and they are not pretty.
more like, they are really sweet looking, with super sharp features.

Napoleon Bonaparte crossing the Grand Saint Bernard pass.
okie, this would most likely be the next puzzle that i would attempt.
1000 pieces, i think there's still one box at the Suntec City jigsaw shop.

the battle of waterloo.
if there is a puzzle for this picture, i would surely do hahah.
frame it up, hang it in the band room for 1812 overture hahah.

a little bit of information on 1812 overture just for the sake of GK.
why the song was composed, what is what,
and the composer's thoughts about his own work.
all very brief. all copy and paste.

why --
For the dedication ceremony for the Church of Christ the Savior in Moscow, Chaikovsky wrote the 1812 Overture. The music was to set the tone for the celebrations around the new Church, which was erected with public donations in thanksgiving for and commemoration of the Russian victory over Napoleon in the War of 1812

what is what --
The piece opens with the somber tones of a Russian Church chant, recalling that the declaration of war was announced at Church services in Russia and then immediately followed by a solemn chant for Russian success in the war.
There follows a theme of marching armies, carried out by the horns.
Another theme used in the early part of the overture is the initial notes of the French national anthem The Marseillaise which begins "Allons enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé!" The French anthem reflects the early French victories in the war, including the capture of Moscow in September 1812.
This is followed by a Russian folk dance theme, which commemorates the national unity that developed in beating back Napoleon. While Napoleon could be more daring in battle, the Russians had patience and the people on their side to wait out the invador and wear down his enthusiasm.
The French retreat from Moscow began in late October 1812. Caught in the Russian winter for which they were ill-prepared and hounded by local resistance and guerrilla warfare, the French Army suffers great losses.
This is reflected in the dizzying spirals of a diminuendo.
The firing of cannons reflects the Russian military advances in forcing the French further toward the borders.
With the military conflict over, we return to a solemn Church chant to give thanks for the victory and the liberation of Russia from French occupation.
Below the triumphant cannons and the horns, we hear the strains of the victorious Russian national anthem beginnning with the words: "God, save the Tsar!". The Russian anthem makes an important counterpoint to the French anthem that was heard earlier.

composer's thoughts --
Tchaikovsky himself didn't feel much enthusiasm for the work while he was composing it, and if it were not for a lucrative commission for a ceremonial overture to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Russia's victory over Napoleon in 1812, it is unlikely that Tchaikovsky would have composed the overture on his own initiative.
Tchaikovsky worked on the overture from October 12 to November 19, 1880.
In his own words, he found it "very loud and noisy."

very crap but yeah for the fun of it

alright, i didnt take any pictures today. went to yckss too early.
didnt know school ends at 4 or something for them now.
anyway, reached the school at like 14:20 ? crap.
got Ivy to open the room, thanks Ivy :)
then i practiced and practice and practiced till around 17:50 ?
took about 30 mins worth of break in between.
AND I STILL CANT GET THE SAME FEW PARTS OF 1812 RIGHT !!! ARGHHHH !!!
and its gonna get tougher. sry fingers, you guys have got to find a way to do it.

something happened during alumni practice, which really really agitated me.
if it wasn't for teacher speaking, i would have told the fellow off.
i was like what the fuck? as if your SENIOR cant tell the difference?
and i believe the SENIOR doesn't need some one to repeat teacher's words,
like dunno how many god damn times in different versions.
like which disciple teaches the teacher what the teacher taught the disciple ?!?!
craziness. come to think of it. if the fellow is that good.
he would have been able to pick it up on his own.
not wait for someone to point it out then nag about it.
damn, he has grown too big for his shoes, then again, i bet he never had any.

and there was this malay boy today. damn funny.
cause i am an alumni, i do not need to wear any uniform.
and he thought i was a teacher. we were walking towards the band room.
there were 3 girls walking towards us. we were reaching the band room.
when he just turned around, looked at me. then he went,
"wa this teacher never see before one, so ********"
i was so embarrassed i almost ran into the room.

dad and No.1 said it must have been the rainbow wire that was faulty.

hmm, i feel like i am getting close to the sound i want.

somehow, it keeps changing after every concert. to me its getting better.

maybe the more you play the better it becomes? no idea.

i guess it should be it, cause i sounded like, music only to God's ears in sec 1.

the mouthpiece set hasn't changed. thats the funny part haha.

i cant figure out how come the sound can change like that.

oh well, i like the sound now as it is, doesn't mean its gonna stop there. hahah.

alright, got myself two shirts from fox fashion.
they had a clearance sale at their outlets, so my pal & i just went in for a look.
ended up looking at the new arrivals cause the old stocks were, CMI.
most of the old stocks la. bought a blue shirt and a brown shirt.
nice brown kind, not those dirty brown. luckily i decided to try out both shirts.
usually i would just like, try one piece for size,
and i would get the same size for the other designs as well.
yeah, had to get a small and a medium size hahah. phew. different cut.

got myself a pair of dumb bells as well.
didnt dare to go for the 5 kg ones cause of my back.
dont want to strain it. so i took the 4kg pair, thats like 1 kg difference, wth.
hahah. anyway yeah. 4 kg each. slowly work. just worked out actuall.
its like a little light. maybe cause i am used to chin ups.
the good thing about it though, is that i dont feel the strain on my back muscles.
i am just doing the super basic form of exercise using dumb bells. so yeah.
at least i wont become waste while my back is recovering.
wonder how long it will take. been a few months since the muscle tore.
two other injuries to the same place in that few months. irritating.
its still one shoulder higer than the other. its not level. yucks.

got myself a pair of bermudas.
price of clothing's are really scary, come to think of it.
was shopping at J8 for a pair. prices were like 50 to 70 for one pair.
i was like, er, ok. dad was paying la but still i didnt wanna get one that was ex.
i was thinking like, 30 bucks or something. was pretty shocked la.
what was i thinking? this is what? malaysia or thailand haha.
giordano sells theirs at 60 near 70. i was like what the hell.
might as well get one from esprit or fox for around the same price.
because of the branding la. pay the same amount, get something of a better brand.
then again, esprit has uncles and aunties shopping in it too. sian.
anyway, got mine from there. i started off with the intention of getting two.
saw the prices and i was like, heck la, 1 would do fine.
just sew back the button for one of the bermudas at home.
so now i have 4. good number. can last quite a while. a bit sick of jeans.
jeans is like, restriction !! and you dont wanna wear jeans to hawker centers.
hahah so yeah, bermudas.
and i need new shirts !! was looking at my wardrobe three days back.
just arranging the clothings according to colors as usual.
arranged, look at it, and i thought, what the hell, this is miserable.
these are the colors white, black, and one grey. i mean for wearing out.
including those for home/slack wear. orange/red, light brown.
there u go, 6 colors. mitchell, you lead a really dull life.
you need to get a life. go shopping !!! yes, i am going to shop soon. real soon.

alright, CNY has been pretty fine.
if its held at my place, it would be even better.
cause then, i wouldn't have to like travel hehe.
won 65 playing mah jong, uncle kevin was coaching me, thats how i won.
but i kept "pulling" all the right tiles and all those
flowers and animals almost every round. had some limit breaks.
then, it came to black jack. lost around 100? estimated. so loses are like 35.
played down the figure to about 40 when uncle and aunt asked.
cause they would top up the figure if it was too much.
when you gamble, be prepared to lose. if you lose, accept it like a man.
oh well tomorrow's the second day. gonna head down to dad's friend's house.
not sure if the others would be there. they are the BMW forum members.
oh well. HONG BAO !!!

okie this was taken by Fikri quite a while back, laugh at it.

some of you need some laughter to add to your day, here it is.

the tilt and the car some where at the right center of the picture.
shall try for a better one. i think i shall try to get this kinda pictures right.
waking up early for a try in the forest tomorrow.

her terrible boy horribly blogged @ 23:41

okie not very well taken shots of the flowers. but here they are, strangely.

i think these are spider orchids. focus on back ground's off.

saw this fellow flying around the pond.
hovering here and there on the surface of the water.
caught it taking a break.

no idea what insect is this.

her terrible boy horribly blogged @ 12:27

alright, fiddled around with the power head at guppies tank haha.
dad told no. 4 & i to clean up the that tank, and to fix the power head.
its actually from an over head filter system, from one of our fish tanks.
attached it to the water feature in the guppy tank. and they breed like crazy la.
next generation's gonna end up in no.4's oscars.
cleaned the roof after that, the glass panels up there.
climbed on to the roof, he held the hose while i cleaned the glass panels.
same for our room window, the ultra over sized ones facing the forest.
a little scary cause the glass panels were slippery, due to the rain.
had to climb through the toilet window, walk over the side glass panels,
all the way to the panels at the front hahah. the side panels were all tilted downwards.
that was the scary part. came back from dinner.
filled up the guppy tank with water and all. adjusted the output from the power head.
didnt want it to strong. and then, me and dad started on the long pond.
worked on it for like, 2 or 3 hours. dad was stripping some of the wires.
took out the wrong wires haha, so we had to spend some time putting them back.
managed to rewire 2 of the motors, the other 2, we gave up. too dangerous.
shall wait for his friend to pop by. washed the floor of the pond.
filled it up a little, drained it. kept repeating the process.
swept it like crazy. had to get rid of the dirt inside.
water was like brown when it came out of the hose. it would never be 100% clean.
just getting rid of what we can. and here i am after a hot bath.
sian, sleep le

the sp went wa, a new one for a starter.
along that line, i rephrased his sentence to hide some stuff.
my first reaction- whats the big deal? about 2 seconds later
-shit i am one lucky fellow.
i didnt realise that only a minority would enjoy this privilege.
upon realising it, i was like darn, what an idiot i was.
now its the wait, on paper its written, end march/end april.
both of which, i would still be at tekong chalet. its now february.
that would be like another 2 or 3 months.
most of our life, we are waiting for something.

19 point something km per litre of petrol.
50l tank. current price of petrol we pump into our cars, $2.08 per litre.
that would be 100 plus per full tank. 950km per full tank.
that's really hell of a long way. of cause.
a little skeptical about what ever's said on those brochures.
never believe evetything you read.

her terrible boy horribly blogged @ 23:59

yesh yesh yesh, me pass me driving, me fuck the tester hehe.
14 points in total. 4 in circuit, 10 outside. the 4 was erm, turned into the wrong lane.
hahaha yeah, stupid mistake. saw a car, avoided it, and i went into theright lane.
so he said wrong lane, tick, 4 points gone haahha.
the others were due to bad habit, wide turning, abrupt lane change.
actually all are due to turning. all 10 points that were "scored" on the road.
shall head back to the center later in the afternoon, apply for the license.
tester was an indian guy, quite old. like 50 plus. white hair here and there.
whats wrong with this? clutch in, change to 1st gear from neutral.
he was like, is this how you change gears? i was like, yeah.
your instructors never say anything? er, no.
and guess yeah, i told dad i wont want a car cause i don wanna drive.
i didnt even wanna drive in the first place. not in singapore at least.

dad found this dragon fly having its meal on our plant.
think its sucking a cricket dry haha.
before this, i was wondering where were all those dried up shrivelled insects from.

alright, its in 4 and a half hours time.

exactly 12 now. warm up's at 1530hrs.

hmm nervous? suddenly no hahah.

thanks to that meeting with denise, my mind has been kept busy when ever idle.

and i thought to myself last night, what the hell.

fuck the tester even if i pass or fail. hmmm.

dunch know if i am being over confident, but i think its gonna be a pass.

i'll try my best to score no more than 2 points in the circuit.

did it a couple of times, just needa be careful.

cause i know i would be accumulating lotsa points on the road.

so yeah, todays the day. and to who ever my tester would be, FUCK YOU HAHA.
