Itchy Belly

These few days I've been absent mindedly scratching my tummy, right underneath my navel cos it has been so freakin' itchy. I've scratched it so often that that a brown patch is formed and I could even feel bumps and it is STILL itchy even now. Moments ago, I finally took a look at what's going on and figured out what was the problem: it's my freakin' navel stud. I've been wearing it for the longest time now sometimes I don't even remember having it there even though it's a dangling one. It has seriously been there for years, I just never bother replacing it with a non-dangling one. Just now, I turned the 'pendant' around and noticed that...

jeng jeng jeng...

it is RUSTED oh my freakin' god!

It's not as bad as how I exaggerated lah, it's the early stage of the rusting process. There are only brown fine dots. It's not like the whole thing turning into a completely brown thing! That's crazy ok. So anyway, I've decided to take it off and replace with a non-dangling one. Feels kinda weird now, cos now it feels like there's nothing there anymore.

Ok. Just something really random I feel like typing down.

Regarding the recording of my audition CD, it's still not done =(

I was so naive and stupid to have thought that it could be done within 2 hours. Well, it COULD have been if I could play better, or just accept things easily and stop being unsatisfied all the time. Next session is scheduled to next Tuesday, which is the same day Wei Kiat's coming back. And hopefully, that'll be the last session before it gets edited and be ready for my application. Having my accompanist come for so many days to do so many takes of fail recording, I seriously cannot imagine how much he is going to charge me. Seriously hope he can 手下留情 (sau har lau cheng)...

On another note, 3 more days!!! And hopefully, I don't have to do stupid countdowns anymore next year...

Btw, somebody asked me where's my wishlist lol! You know who you are nyehehe. Ok, I'll try to do it soon but it's really hard cos most stuffs that I really really want at the moment are not easy on anyone's wallet hahah and I don't want to sound like I'm expecting things as well! I admit I am a very materialistic person, this is a material world what do you expect? Of course I'll be glad to receive but... I don't want to be seen like I'm such a thick skinned person who expects people to buy me things, you know what I mean? Hrm... I don't know exactly how to describe but yeah, I'll do it really soon. Maybe I won't call it a wishlist but more like a... "Ee Von's Guide to Getting Presents for Ee Von" HAHAAHHAHHA omg it sounds completely self-obsessed! But yeah I figured a 'guide' sounds so much better than a wishlist cos I have so many ridiculous wishes.

Time to sleep now.

Please watch this! It'll definitely make you smile!!! =)



This is probably the only time I find kids adorable. Lol!

Economical & Just Nice VS Expensive & Perfect

Ok. It's finally decided.

My very kind lecturer agreed to let me use his sound recording devices/softwares so I'm saving money on recording my audition. If any of you have been following my twitter, I mentioned,

"should i choose something 'economical & just nice' or something 'expensive & perfect'?"

I was actually talking about recording my audition. I have been really worried and stressed out with deciding the right way to record my audition. Initially, I thought of using the regular sound recorder and go to one of the practice studios in uni and get it done. Then I realised that the sound quality may not be the best. In fact, it may even turn out to be bad. Then I consulted one of the music major in Uni of Melbounre who happens to found my blog and know my situation, and who very kindly dropped me a message too. She told me it's best to record it in a recording studio. Which at first, seemed like a good option but not until I realised I actually need a recording studio which has a piano.

Being an instrumentalist is not something everyone should be envious of. Do you know how much I had to spend just for this audition? I had to attend violin lessons. Approximately RM 100-120 per lesson. I had to rehearse with my accompanist. RM 100 per hour of rehearsal. And renting a recording studio, I'm not sure of the rates but I heard it can be from RM 100 - 500 (or more?) per hour depending on which studio I go to. And it gets more expensive when I'm using a studio which provides a piano. I need not just "a piano". I actually need "a grand piano", or anything that's equivalent to decent. That again marks up the price.

Sorry I digressed. So, a few days ago I went back to uni to just catch up with Cat and a lecturer and I told him about my situation and he suggested I do it in uni cos there's a recording studio in uni, and it's more 'economical' lol. I didn't think of uni at first even when I knew there is a recording studio with sufficient recording devices/softwares cos the studio is a very small one and there isn't any proper piano in it. The only way to do the recording in uni, is to shift all the devices to one of the studios which has a decent grand piano. And the good news is, he agreed to do so.

=)

So I've chosen the 'economical and just nice' option simply because I think it'll most likely be the same anyway just that I'm paying so much more for a more established and well-facilitated studio. The sound quality probably will be better but seriously, this is only an audition. It's not like I'm producing an album or anything like that.

The schedule is I'll be at uni for the whole day to record this and if all goes well, I'll be applying on Thursday!

Oh before I go, just wanna say I've watched New Moon. Hop on to Esther's blog to read about what I think cos we both share the same thoughts on it. Except that I'm with Team Jacob lol!

Tonight...

... is one of the many nights where I feel extremely down, again. It's the audition. And the whole master studies at Uni of Melbourne thing.

Why do people live having to deal with so many things? Why can't we just be happy and free?

Almost back

Ok. One more day and I can then online at the comfort of my home. My dad finally decided to hand us some cash to get a new router and my brother insisted on getting it at some PC fair tomorrow which I don't quite see the point cos I don't think it'll make any difference with the price anyway. I'm at Cat's office in uni, onlining obviously.

Things haven't been really going the way I want them to. Some jerk decided not to reply my message, again. And no I am not going to be a pest. If that's the case, then I'll just let it be. There's no use begging and making myself looke like a freakin' clown. But seriously, if there's one wish I were to make for my birthday, or Christmas, I wish everyone has the slightest courtesy to reply important messages. Seriously.

Ok apart from that, of course I am more materialistic than just wishing for something so unselfish for my birthday hahaha. I might do a wishlist. When I'm done with things. It'll be a Birthday/Christmas Wishlist since my birthday falls on a week before Christmas. *hint hint HINT HINT HINT wtf

Internet Oh Internet

So I was cut off from the world of internet (or is it the internet world?..) for approximately 2 days and I almost died before I finally packed my laptop with me and came to Starbucks Taipan right after work. Aaaaaah finally, the taste of life. Wtf.

Seriously, my life revolves around internet. Twitter, blog, msn, skype, youtube, google, yahoo, etc. I totally cannot do 2 days without internet. Yesterday I went to Maccas in hopes of getting online but was so freakin' disappointed when I couldn't. Ok disappointed's not the right word. Pissed is.

So right now I've been here for the past 2 hours (or more..) and dammit the connection is so good I don't feel like going home eventhough I should really be. I totally wasting my time when I should be practising. Haihhhh. The only bad thing about onlining in Starbucks is that I cannot laugh out loud (literally LOL) when I see/read/hear something funny like this.

It's a torture to not be able to laugh out loud ok? It's worse than constipation. Not that I have anyway. Don't guess whether I'm telling the truth or not. About constipation.

Yes purposely hold that Starbucks mug up just to prove that I'm at Starbucks now.

I asked Wk if there's any difference in the video. What I meant was the lighting and the way I looked. He answered,

"er, there's a 'keluar' and 'no smoking' sign behind you?"

Wtf.

And I'm wearing my favourite panda shirt. I don't understand why my sisters like to pick on me whenever I wear it. It's my favourite shirt. I have a big panda (the WWF logo) at the front. What's wrong with it?

The connection's so good here that I managed to upload this video.

Taken 2 months ago when I was in Melbourne. And I screamed cos when I squeezed the lemon juice it almost went into my eyes. That's what you get when you're too eager to eat something. In other words 'tam sek' hahahaah.

Ok time to go home. Hopefully the connection will not be stupid at home...

Stop Hate Crime

Please spare yourself only 4 minutes to watch this :'(

Murder of Sophie Lancaster

And I thought racism is the only bad thing happening.

If you're living in the UK, click here to find out how you can stand up for her. Otherwise, forward and spread this video cos they're trying to reach a million views to generate an amount for The Sophie Lancaster Foundation.

Unless you're like those people who hate goths and support the destruction of humanity. They cannot even be compared with wild animals, 'cos they're worse.
