OK I'm seriously sorry I couldn't type a post, because I was seriously busy.
Many important stuff, just read the Strait Times next friday to find out.
These days have been seriously big for me, (no it isn't puberty, it's something else)and they really decide my career. But shan't reveal the truth yet.
String Ensemble still fun, rehearsing for Gold with Honours, and wth rehearsing with Kaicheng, Zhaokai, Hongrui, Matthew, Yiyang and John Lee is seriously damn crazy. And extremely fun. I can't believe it where were you Adriel?!!?
Too bad YO guys didn't come for rehearsal.
And I didn't know that the Human Metronome (Yiyang) has such a crazy sense of humour.
And I didn't know that Kaicheng could do the "suck your nostrils in" trick, which I managed to pick up immediately.
And I didn't know that you guys could give so much fun man!
Sectionals were even better; so imagine Matthew screaming for everyone to get out of the rehearsal room with him waving his bow like he could kill Adi in one blow, and me standing beside him and both of us were on ONE rostrum, which meant like we were trying to squeeze each other out.
And believe it or not, the cello section is freaking cooperative, and it's like totally believable, because with a cello, anything is possible.
And John Lee started suaning me with all his high notes, and accuracy, and I mentioned 4 things:
Dynamics
Intonation
Rhythm
Articulation
Talking about music technicalities, John Lee was like,"I think we should have contrast for the three sets there"
Response: "Wah suan lah, wah music technicalities..."
But anyway, damn it today was one of the best cello section days. Like some circus act with Matthew trying to balance his bow on ANY possible place, on his nose, behind his cello, on his cello SCROLL etc.
And Kaicheng attempted to hang his cello on the wire noose, and Zhaokai upon seeing that said, "Eh you know right, when you hang someone, all the blood flows to the lower part of your body, then you get the you-know."
And I immediately got it and I said the answer, then he was like shhhshhh and Matthew laughed and smack my hand with his carbon (don't know what kind of allotrope[possibly diamond]. Wait. Carbon fibre?)
THen ZK went on to elaborate that its called the death e*******. And gosh there was EWWWWWW, and YUUCCCKKK and everything.
Cello sectionals are damn fun.
THe only thing I regret was that Adriel wasn't here, but we progressed quite fast too.
Thanks people!
Oh then I started freaking imitating Adi, now I feel so bad. Hongrui and Kaicheng were almost red from laughter (like literally red) and I was like thinking acronyms - Any Degree of Intelligence. Artificial Dead Intelligence.
Feel damn bad. Sorry Adi. [2 days later..]
Ok those who know me know what I always say.
Meanwhile I really feel like all I want to do is to make people happy and make people smile, and my life feels very complete.
Once again thanks guys.

Rolling/Office Chair Battle
Today's RE was brilliant man. We were working damn hard, listening to each other's music and correcting our lyrics. And we were looking at each other's manuscripts, while Zhiyi played his first draft, and it sounded very nice. Good job guys. And we looked like, totally presentable when Miss Shen walked in abruptly. We were all quiet and deep in thought, immersed into the melodies of our songs. And Miss Shen was like, "Good job guys! I like your project title!" She asked me who suggested the "Green Crotchets" one but I forgot, either Zhiyi Benwee or Jinghui. A matter of right place right time.
After lunch, things got totally different, because guess why, we finished all our work already! Stomachs full, we geared up for the Game: The Rolling/Office Chair Battles.
Three Categories so far: Single Duel, Double Duel, FFA (Free for All)
Rules of the Game: Like jousting, but your horse would be a chair powered by your legs (strength), and you must attempt to push your opponent to:
1) Right at the end of the Battle/Jousting lane
OR
2) Come into contact with the side tables
Or
3) Simply fall of his chair
You must dodge pushes (agility), plan your way of strike (intelligence), and basically win the game.
Match 1: Single Duel
Opponent: Ben Wee
Winner: None
Match Report: We were basically slugging it out after lunch, and I thought I was a little on the losing end. I came very close to losing, but did not. Our match was interrupted several times, but we were sweating like some shit, because we were basically slamming onto each other after so many countdowns and charges that the rolling chair backs actually got scratched.
Match 2: Double Duel
Opponents: Ben Wee and Jinghui
Winner: Ben Wee and Jinghui
Match Report: I partnered with David against them, and we could have snatched several, but they took down David quickly and I was left alone. Then one more charge and they took beat my ass, and I was quickly subdued to the tables after I tried to escape twice successfully.
Match 3: FFA
Opponents: Ben Wee and Jinghui only
Winner: Me (Jonathan Shin)
Match Report: The first FFA was extremely tiring, and we were basically slugging it out. I think the first to go down was Ben Wee, I forced him to the table lanes to hear him screaming out in pain. Then I was left with Jinghui and dodging for so long with double leg supports, I beat him.
Match 4: FFA
Opponents: Ben Wee, Jinghui, David, Zhiyi
Winner: Me
Match Report: Zhiyi chose to start right at the middle between me, David and Jinghui, Ben Wee. So we chiong and he got stuck in the middle, that fat guy. Lol. Then it was slugging it out again and we were breaking through, and chairs were falling everywhere. It was seriously an epic battle, with barricades of chairs and missles of chairs pushing everywhere, and about 3 rolling/office chairs were stuck between the melees. A new rule was set, not to come into body contact with the opponent. So it was about 15 minutes before rehearsal, and it lasted for about 10-14 minutes, that fight. Another rule was set, rest 5 seconds after someone gets edge out of the battle. So we got ready for another charge with me and David, and we pushed them back, killed Zhiyi, went back, charge, Jinghui was down, and then David next, before me and Ben Wee once again striked each other down, and I got him stuck at the left corner.
The taste of winning has never been so sweet. Come back for the next Match Reports next Wednesday!

Dreams (dry ones) and sleep
It has been a week since I updated. So right, I have John Yu commenting I look like some shit. But it's ok, but I was kind of sad cause it was one of the most exciting days in my music life, but I looked like shit that day. Lol was just kidding.
Ok but life has been great nowadays, I'm super addicted to BeeGees, and music then is so much beautiful than today's music. Wonderful harmonies. What shit is rap compared to those songs. But anyway shan't talk much. But I'm listening to Tragedy by BeeGees now.
I'm an asshole. I bitch about people when I have time. -.- Someone bitch about me please? Library bitching was on ninjas and manga and samurai. RJC bitching was on Feminine wiping of mouth. -.-
Mad rampage - untying other people's shoelaces. I think I'm going crazy again!
But to serious matters...no there isn't really one. I slept at 12.30am yesterday reading a book, and when I woke up...man I take a long time to wake up. I realised I have this habit of repeating words my mum say to ask me to wake up. I think it started in Sec 1.
Mum: Go and brush your teeth!
Me: Brush teeth. (mumbles)
Mum: Have you worn your uniform? (She assumed I was awake already although I was still in bed)
Me: Uniform...
Mum: You're eating oat today...
Me: Yes oat..
Upon entering my room, she goes: WHAT? YOU HAVEN'T WAKE UP YET? (yak yak yak)
Sometimes I kind of "dream" I'm already brushing my teeth or packing my bag, then I suddenly jerk to realise...I'm still in bed.
Damn it man!

Dream
When you sleep in an air-conditioned room, dreaming seems to be a common occurance. Like last night, when I slept in my air-conned room. I dreamnt about playing "Tempest" 2nd and 3rd movements, meeting Dumbledore and learning some tricks, and the busstop subsequently.
I shall start with meeting Dumbledore. I think it got sparked by some memory of Adriel telling me how to write your username backwards...he asked me to write on a piece of paper, " Who's your daddy?"...Then the rest was purely idiotic but that was during Secondary 1 so I followed whatever he said. Damn!
So Dumbledore made me draw a circle and told me to write "Gryffindor352". Wth? Some cheat code? But anyway I wouldn't wanna say the rest. Venue was DesignCentre@RI by the way.
SO I left the place, thus leaving my wallet behind to. And I walked all the way the busstop beside Novena Square opposite United Square. And lo! I forgot my wallet. So from the Busstop to RI...that was too far. But anyway this white black cat came along and it started to talking to everyone in the busstop and I was like...holy crap! What was a talking cat doing here? Then the busstop actually became a beach front, and then I saw this tsunami coming in and I ran and ran and ran backwards.
THen I woke up.
A few days ago I was at the library for free period. These days I'm a little crazy, they say I'm hyperactive. I'm not sure. But anyway I started going on a Story-telling spree. My first story was of a chicken having a mother of an elephant and a crocodile as a father. His name was Marly/Marley/Maley.
heck care it/him.
Jeffery, Shanghai and I went to the RJ canteen and I bought a banana. Subsequently they did and we walk like some gangsters, one hand holding a banana (no pun, NO PUN, NO PUN!!!!) and the other empty handed. But anyway (no seriously, there was no pun just now), we started walking in one straight row and we called ourselves the Banana Gang - BGs - BeeGees.
Hurhur.
I beat Jieqi (Sec 3 Cousin in VJC) and Kelly (Jc 1 at RJC) in Reversi! My first Reversi game I won. :)
Feel very happy.

Anyway, I don't take Biology.
Ok ya I did something wrong today..concerns my Personal Narrative Essay. But let's not talking about it!
The last period of the day was reserved for Biology test, and of course me being Jonathan Shin did not take Biology could roam around the school freely. I had my early lunch with Joshua at RJC, and some people reported that while doing their tests they saw me walking around. Only one actually - SungMing
But anyway, almost the whole school didn't know that I didn't take Biology, so I've got many people asking me whether I completed the whole paper, and where I stopped at, and for others what was the answer for Question 1 Blood Group. Then I heard about the hybrid-crosses...I'm quite lucky not to take Biology.
So I was sitting at the round tables outside the Teachers' Room, and my first victim was Nicholas from 3F, who asked me whether I finished the entire paper. (Joshua was listening to his handphone beside me, and he heard the few conversations I had.)
"Yes I did, you leh?"
"Wah lau, I never even finish lah..I reach the hybrid-cross then I didn't do liao. They stopped me before I could even finish lorh!"
"Huh really ah? Eh what you put for the first question?" I said.
"Erm I put a,b,c and d." (I think thats what he said)
"Huh siaow really?"
"Ya..."
"Eh by the way you know something?"
"Huh what? (expecting a request for answer to a question)"
"I don't take Biology." (I expect for a punch.)
But the handphone rings and all he could manage was a long finger pointed at my face with a beaming smile of being tricked.
Next victim: Austin
Me (shades eyes with hand, as if looking far): "Oh my god, I see a stone coming my way!"
"What lah, Johnny. How was the Biology Test?"
"I never finish!! What you put for the hybrid-cross?"
"Got so many hybrid-crosses which one?"
Me: (sweats. erm which one? I didn't ask Nicholas!) "Aiyah *expletive* lah, I don't bother already the whole thing is damn tough lah!"
"Huh ok lah..."
"Anyway you know what?
Austin: "I don't know. What?"
"I don't take Biology"
(The whole conversation actually lasted about 4 minutes. And Joshua watched me with eyes of awe...)
Austin tries to register the shock, the anguish of 4 minutes of his concrete life being wasted. Then he says: "*expletive* you!", with another smile of being "jacked" on his craggy face.
The next few victims would include BenWee, Jinghui (i think) and my latest one would be SungMing.
Childish, but if you had a few seconds of your life to spare, why not?
