Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on
But they're all bold as love
Just ask the axis
My red is so confident that he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say its frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you.
saw this on stacy's friendster.xD
loved it.

Discovering classical music is a highly pleasurable activity than will enthrall and invest a curious young person with a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
One can be spared the pains and anxieties of having to take graded music examinations and yet are passionate about music. There are no hard and fast rules, only certain broad and loose guidelines that may be applied in a timely and judicious manner for the best effect.
o1. There is no definite age to start a child on music. Once a child displays curiousity, exposure to music may begin.
o2. Passive listening and singing are the easiest start points, rather than strict instrumental instruction.
o3. Engage the natural curiousity of a child. Tell stories and inspire the child's imagination when encountering any work of music, literature, or art.
o4. An all-round exposure includes regular outings to nature parks, museums and places of interest. The first visit to the concert hall may be deferred to a later date, when the child is less restless and more receptive.
o5. The first music teacher sets the tone for a child's overall music education. So parents are advised to choose carefully!
o6. Music teachers can emphasise on the process of musical learning, rather than the end ie. examination results. Educate parents on the appreciation of music as well.
o7. Do not have unrealistic expectations on a child's abilites. Only one or two (out of thousands) will become music starlets. Most can become efficient technicians, but all should grow up as music-lovers.
o8. Always be positive about a child's efforts and regularly give encouragement and positive feedback. Empowered with this affirmation, they can soar.
o9. Encourage a child to venture beyond the "set syllabus" and discover a wider range of work and experiences. Self-learning should know no boundaries.
1o. Create a caring and loving home enviornment for the love of fellow humans, animals, nature and the arts to flourish.
The bottom line is this: You can still enjoy and appreciate classical music without the angst and trauma of examinations and competitions!

Darling just let me kiss you once more;
Before you slip away from my heart like a ball;
No matter how hard, i would still ring you a love-call;
Somehow or rather,
I still love you to the ULTIMATE CORE!
Literature poems i might not be so fluent;
Our feelings for each other must be congruent;
It's true love which is now very common;
Our affection flourish NOT dormant. (:
Absence makes the heart grow fonder;
Taking your feelings and hand, i promise not to blunder;
If you've never found true love, let me be the founder;
Arrr, i still love you my wonder! (x
This be the last if it means my life to obtain your trust;
For i make sure getting your rose-tainted heart is a must;
Tears from my eyes are sure to make your soul rust;
Losing you is as good as turning everything sweet into nothing more than dust;
With a blow of sweet nothings and polishing, rough ends removes in a gust;
To gain your love, it's those heart-melting spells that i cast. (x
Love comes knocking at your door step;
Leaves a package of rose that makes you sink to a depth;
Pass me your life & i will assure it happiness that is well kept.
Spring summer autumn winter;
Your love is as simple as sugar with butter;
Or perhaps it is as fabulous as chocolate bitter;
These feelings i simply can't bottle;
And kissing you till that snowy winter;
Just one glance from you makes my heart tremble a little;
Cuddling close together with your love, that never leaves like FEVER. :D
Look out for that dazzling star whenever you daze into space;
I would still polish till it shines brightly, whether be it rain or haze;
My love explodes to your lips as though in a race.
Are you waiting for him to set your heart ablaze;
For him to always kiss you to sleep on all days;
For him to hug you so tight until it's like a craze?;
Aww, those romantic days. =D

just came home from our class bbq, and i really enjoyed myeslf.
the day started out with me having tuition, then i went to meet weiching and eileen, and they came to my house..supposed to meet hock at the church to go to the street 11 market, but i was then told that there wuld not be any fishballs left.so hock went to 201 to buy, then came to my hse.
we then carried EVERYTHING to wanjing hse, and waited for her mom to come home.then we went to dawuguii's hse, to put the jelly and cake in his fridge.to be honest, the feeling was like...going home after 2 yrs of studying abroad.CRAP.
then we went to pasir ris park..walked all the way to elias mall, and waited for bus 403, while dawuguii went to pump his bike.
after that dawuguii waited for us, while we were on the bus..and we made our way there together.
was supposed to reach there like..3.30pm, but reached there when it was nearly 5. we then started the fire, and before we could cook, mrs wong had to leave.
we then took photos, and after that eileen, wanjing, weiching and i went to the beach to play.we threw stones into the sea and see who could throw further.hahhas..it was fun, and after that, played a bit of volleyball, and then card games. played blackjack and then bluff, then when the rest played uno, i went to take over jin hwee's job and started working.hahas.
we had loads of fun.
dawuguii and jin hwee went to buy drinks, and then he said jin hwee fell. so we met some of his npcc juniors, and they helped to carry the stuff back. they then sat around for awhile, and while i was dealing with the stupid corn that wuldnt break, i had to put the chinken wings on the table.this particular guy then saw me, and went hi rachael. my heart was thinking.." siao ar.i dont even noe u." i then remembered alot of his npcc guys knew about us. so i was like...erhh..hi. then i went on to breaking the stupid corn.hahas..
and then dawuguii's parents brought the cake and jelly to the bbq pit. eugene even asked me to bring food to them. i wuldnt mind, but it was kind of... -not-quite-right- ...
everyone besides dawuguii played monkey..and after a few rounds, i became monkey.wad sia..they shua me like..hhhahas.. really tiring lahx. i always thought it was easier to play when it's just one monkey and two other players.hahhas..
second round, i didnt play.. felt stuffy and sweaty, hoping for some water.hahhas..never did i ecpevt my "wish" to come true.hahas.when they were singing the bday song, jinhwee didnt want to sit.i thought it was because it was weird sharing a seat with a girl.so i didnt bother.almost everyone sang the bday song, and i felt like crying.it was ironic.unexplainable too. iskandar kept saying i wuld cry i wuld cry, so i was determinded to prove him wrong.hahas.but when the second round of song finished, everyone, no. almost everyone threw water bombs at me.i was soaking wet.shocked, but enjoyed it. because i needed it badly.
so we went on cutting the cake, and btw, the cake rocked.wanjing's father did a great job in making the cake.xD he probably did a great job in avoiding people. i was impressed.
dawuguii then left. hakim and eileen too, and hakim sent eileen home on his bike.hahhas.we were like...di siaoing her all the way.hahhahas.. she probably had a hard time.cos i wasnt the only one who disturbed her.hahas.
eugene and guys then disallowed me to use the fork to eat, and neither i could use my hands.their aim was that i eat without the fork and hand, so that they could squash my face in there.hahhas..they finally said they were not going to do it.i was like..believe them...and then we came up with an agreement, that if they played this prank on me, they wuld help me fulfill my bday wish.hahas..so i ate, with caution. just as i was about to enjoy the cake,eugene's hand came flying to my face.and of cos the plate in between. i was lucky my nose didnt go crooked.hahas..he then gave a second layering by squashing dawuguii's half-eaten cake into my face too.oh gosh. iskandar even added another coating of choco on my forehead.i was thinking of the pimples i wuld probably get tmr.hahas..
they then insisted i take a picture, before i clean up.hahas..i relented, and then posed for a pic.it was probably the best, yet the worst birthday i have ever celebrated in my life.haha.
after clearing up, we took pictures, and it was great fun. how i wished dawuguii was there.
i also know, that im actually wasting my birthday wish on something that would never come true.but i believe in perseverance.probably, when u see it, you would be snorting and telling me it's impossible.i know.it's impossible.cant i daydream? am i wrong to have wat you call wishful thinking?
anyway, my wish didnt come true, but i gave him another 24 hours. to make me happy for a moment.
hahas..wishful thinking.i know.
im sorry.
lastly, i want to sincerely thank dawuguii, weiching, eileen, wanjing, inn may, hock, eugene, jin hwee, afiq, iskandar, and hakim. i really appreciate it. =)
i will upload the pics when jin hwee sends it to me.xD
tmr it will be rush day for me. 7am, meeting jude.8am, my piano lesson starts. 9am, i have to leave outram. 10am, i have to reach the library. after that then i will meet weiching wanjing and minhui.hahas..eileen and bernard cannot make it..otherwise it wuld be complete.
no. even if they went, it wuldnt be complete, in my heart.
thanks eileen and hock.
esp hock. i know that sms, which u accidentally sent to my hse fone, is not just wishing me happy birthday.the other sentence you said, was just a sentence to please me. thanks for your efforts. i really appreciate it.
bernard too, thanks for trying to cheer me up.hahas..although u failed badly. xP
i'll be back,
and the same sentence applies,
a HAPPY relationship is made up of TWO FORGIVERS.(:
that applies to a HAPPY FRIENDSHIP.
wat will ours be?
i'll leave it as it is.
and as it is,
neither here nor there.
probably you're going arnd telling sumone else you treat me as an enemy, and you will never tok to me.
that was exactly the thing you told me.
but it wasnt the case.
so wat shld i say?
carry on waiting? or just accept the better ones out there.hahas.
that will never happen.

ytd went to science centre with the class..and we seemed to be the oldest among all the visitors?hahas..
on our way there, i thought i could steal some nap..i was damn tired..but there was like..no seats??hahas..all of us were like...oh gosh.
ms lim paid for us to enter the omni theatre to watch the dinosaurs..but..most of us went in to sleep.hahaahs..some of the kids there even cried and woke me up, just as i was about to enjoy that short nap.hhahas..
then we went walked to IMM..initially it was raining, but walk walk walk, then realised the rain stopped.halfway thru, jordon called me.asked him if he was going for old man's buffet..and i disiao-ed him about melodie again.hahas..and guess wat he told me? melodie like shit.i was like...HUH???hahas..
at IMM, we went to giant hypermart, and walked the whole supermarket to see wat we could get for the bbq, although we were not going to buy from there..hahas..meanwhile, weiching and i spotted sushi! so we went to buy..and as usual, i bought mayo tuna.hahas..afeeq saw us eating, then asked where we got that from, and i brought him there, and bought another 2 sushis.hahahahas..it was nice, although i preferred edo sushi's.hahhahas..supposed to have lunch at IMM, but found nothing suitable..so we ended up going back to the east.
we then took a shuttle bus to clementi mrt station, then i got reminded of the days i used to go to clementi for the fencing competitions.i missed them.hahahas..we took the train back,and i sms-ed mrsiow, saying i was leaving the west,and asked if i could still make it for the lesson.by the time i reached tanah-merah, he told me to come for the make-up class instead.i was kinda happy.hahahs.weiching was like..begging me to skip tuition.hahahas..i didnt skip this time, i was told not to go.hahas..so i could spend more time with the rest.good isn't it?hahahas..went to simei, but because of the sushi, i was like..quite full..so had fruits instead.hahs..so healthy.=.=
from simei, we then went to white sands..the guys wanted to play arcade.so we went, and gave our support.hahas..i saw this guy playing the street basketball..and the way he played was damn cool..almost every shot went in lahx..eugene and dawuguii went home first, then we all went seperate ways..wanjing,weiching and i took bus 359 to central, where i took 81 home.hahahs..like..waste of time..cos if i took the train, it would have been faster and cheaper.hahas..but nvm..we had lots to say to each other, just like how much i have to say to him.it's intanglible.
today erge and huisi jie came to my hse..was kinda surprised to see them, but loved their company.huisi jie and i seemed to click.hahahas..i could tell her lots of things..and i liked her.better than erge's ex.huisi jie seem more outspoken and i really love it.hahahahahas.
today's the only day i dun have tuition in the afternoon, dun have music, and no DNT!.hhahas..the only day i can rot at home.hahhas..
haiiz.tmr have music in the morning, then tuition with judee again.sian lahx.xD

rusty. rusty. rusty.
it's been a long time since i blogged.
of course, many many many things happened.
gotten back my results last week,
and i did fairly well compared to the past.
3 distinctions, and failed 2.
failed combined humanities, and d&t.
hahas.
thinking of d&t,
it's kinda funny.
i actually thought of dropping d&t,
but i did not because of someone.
now, i cant drop it,
but it seems so meaningless to continue.
i didnt expect myself to fail combined humanities, cos i studied!
hahas.
for the 3 subjects thingy,
i scored like 4 points,
and for that, im happy.
hahahas.
i've been hearing lots of things.
and i seriously hope you'll enlighten me,
which is the truth and which is the lie.
what exactly is the reason?
i believe i have the rights to know what's going on.
so please.
at least tell me.
i wont ask for anything more.
attended a music composition workshop,
.
enjoyed myself alot over there,
made many new friends,
saw many cute girls,
and cute guys too.
no.actually, only one.
hahahas.
the rest...hmm.
no comments.
but stupid old man,
i must comment for sure.
know him for days,
but suan me like nobody's business.
call me old, this and that.
hahahas.
learnt alot too..
and it definitely wasnt wasted.
although i had my price to pay for going there,
i missed school, and many many things.
on the last day,
dawn, wayne and i had to compose a melody, and perform it.
it was nice, i thought,
but i screwed up.
i came in on the wrong beat,
but luckily it wasnt obvious.
hahas.
mrs morton went around taking pictures too,
and there was this particular picture,
she took of me.
i seriously didnt know she would put it to display,
it was really close-up,
and there was my mp3 in the pic too.
gosh.it wasnt supposed to be there.
now everyone knew i was slacking.
hahahas..
really enjoyed myself,
and didnt regret going.
jude and the rest would probably regret. xD
ohh!
jordon met someone,
and had gone goo-ga-ga over her.xD
melody melodie melo melo melo.x)
hahas.
i shall stop crapping, before ppl start looking for me.xD
P.S. NO PETS ALLOWED. =PP
