Worth Watching

although i finished my brochure, cikgu rejected it. yes. rejected it. why? because the font was too big and there wasn't enough content. And there really isn't much written about this guy(Prof. Ariff Bongso). as in his life. cos nobody really cares about a scientist's life. unless you are like soooo prominent and one of histories greatest people. then they care. they write whole biographies on you and study you even after you die. sad isn't it? so i put whatever content i had and then put some of his achievements. why some? cos he has a lot and i didn't have enough space. why? cos the brochure maker flash software doesn't allow you to change font size. its really rigid templates. but nice. so now i got to redo. i think i'll just take green paper and print words on it. then cut and paste. simple.
and i managed to complete ERP. and part of my maths project. i thought it was due tomorrow. but after i finished my part, i was so worried cos i didn't know how to stick all the parts together. then i found out that its due next week. ...
and now i want to take up some time to write about angklung. for those out there who have no idea what an angklung is, its a wooded instrument which is sort of hollowed out and then the hollow tube can vibrate. so you make a sound when you shake it. it only plays one note, but its quite nice. so. to have an angklung ensemble... i've always wondered how they manage to pull it off. even hand bells ensemble. back to angklung. nice sound. very interesting. go for angklung concert. 22nd april. RG angklung concert. i repeat again. or maybe not. you get my point.
seaking of concerts, I(and the guitar ensemble) will be performing at the esplanade on the 28th april, along with the other RI musical groups. got some nice stuff. although i never know what the string ensemble is playing. but its still nice. I'll say something about string ensemble later. but now. 28th april. esplanade. you get the picture.
now about string ensemble. i must say that SE is the best musical group in RI. i'm just stating the facts. why? because all of them have prior music knowledge, know how to play an instrument, play a string instrument, play in the SYO, get damn high grades in music, or more than one of the metioned reasons. for guitar, we need to spend some time teaching kids to read notes. and how to hold the guitar. and stuff like that. and same with the other ccas. so they are the best. then got pro people like Remus who add on to the proness of the SE. and guitar? got me. and maybe eugene. but i usually like to think its me. and linky of course. but then speed. we're fast. but me, i do better with distortion and thinner and softer strings. comparable i guess. probably can compare with Remus. but we haven't tried. maybe one day. i wouldn't mind losing. cos he's pro.
and when we have the best, we have the worst. RICO. the only cca to get a silver for syf. GE only got gold, but then noone else got gold. and the judges were biased. there was no way neither ACS nor us could not get GwH. must be lagging from string ensemble judging. you can't compare SEs and GEs just like that. both our schools were the only ones which didn't cheer when we got gold. or an award for that matter. other schools were like "hooray! we got bronze!" and we were "damn we got gold..." i think we actually owned them. really. they were playing real basic stuff. and by basic meaning our sec 1 or even 2 standard.
but enough about SYF. i really need to practice CS... someone lend me!!!
