jessica lim si ying, who says i don't update my blog!

i need a new skin. this is getting old, old, old. the old must go, the new has come.
theres some saying of that sort.. haha
but the new isn't necessarily always better, is it?
in fact, many a times, i prefer the old.
they're more sincere, more real, more suitable. i don't know. perhaps these are generalisations.
just like how i love older Christian songs, they're more simplistic, yet they are so forthright and so true. they don't run around in circles, they just declare how you feel.
the old days.
when ECP didn't exist(and wasnt $5!). when chicken was still cheap. when flour was still cheap. when noodles were still cheap. when gst was 3%. who says new is always better? hahahaha.

the older times, when everyone wore long skirts. when plastic surgery didn't exist. when genetic engineering didnt exist, when gm food were stranger to supermarkets, when things were what they were made to be. and not changed to be what they are now.

ohwell.

technology was meant to enhance and improve our lives. i mean, sure. it's done some good. but it carries plenty of social and ethical implications with it. so the bad cancels out the good and makes it a negative. is wanting to have a better life by developing technology being discontented with what we have, or simply wanting a better life?
then in that case, are our lives good enough?

i've been reading a book about socrates' teachings. its brought up a whole lot of interesting ideas i've never considered.
and anyway, the author even goes as far out to suggest that socrates didn't exist. socrates himself never did write down a single word. what we know of him is merely how his pupil(supposing socrates did exist and taught him), plato, described him to be in his writings.
both were amazing people.
but then of course the author of that book also points out that it doesnt really matter whether he existed or not. because we all are, or i'd say have the potential to be, socrates. we are all budding socrates.
a socrates is a person who isn't afraid to ask questions and continues to do so even when others disapprove.
wonder if i'm like that. haha.

okay anyway. my holidays have been. not really holiday-ish so far. have a feeling this is going to be one tiring holiday. not fit to be called holiday.
on a side note, i love the song 'holiday' by green day.

monday- went to sch to tutor math. realised that quite a lot of people failed math. anyway, i took grace :D haha i was quite surprised to see her there, didn't know she'd be there. then we went to kap and met laura and jia there, had lunch. haven't eaten there in a long time.

on a side note (again), i prefer macs to kfc. this is open to debate, anyone is welcome to state which you prefer and why on my tagboard. if you're that free. haha.
(i prefer macdonald's fries. they're saltier and crispier. and nicer. well)

and anyway we ate and ate then went back to sch and prepared a dance for the christmas musical.
shall not say anything about the musical yet. i will when we actually decide we want to perform for it. but we probably will. haha. the dance is pretty cool. we choreographed it :D

okay so that was monday. then came home and slacked my night away. haha

THERE'S AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL TONIGHT.
sorry that was so random. go watch!

okay then tuesday had theory. THEORY EXAM THIS SAT. DIE! i'm like nowhere ready. i'm not even halfway through the purple book. (The book you have to study to get general music knowledge to ensure that you get the 'likely composer, period and three reasons why' of the piece question correct)

tuesday was my last theory lesson, IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE. WHOO!
tuesday was the last lesson i had with ms tan :( i love her. man, i'm going to miss her. she's the best piano teacher i ever had. fun, pretty, well-read, charismatic, talented, in-touch, not obiang, cool. she's pretty cool! ahhhhhhh. so sad! i'll see my new teacher next tuesday. he lives at dunearn rd. opp coronation. facing the main road. semi-d. bet its one of those huge pretty houses. cool. haha.

went to sch again yesterday. taught grace more math. blahblahblah. then had t-one prac with davchoo and keef in the afternoon. haha it was fun. jamming with them is fun. :D

then rushed home for dinner and bath and then rushed to g1 for soundboard training. a few days ago when i asked hann what time he said 'same time :)' i assumed that meant 7. so i was running late. so i msged him and said i would be there at 7.20. and i reached there on the dot : D

ANYWAY, when i got there i found out that 'same time' meant 7.30 and he didn't even bother to reply and tell me that i was early. and on top of that he had to make me go through soundboard training. and i think its obvious to everyone, even the ducks that i an incapable of anything technical-related. haha. i can only do written/theory tests. hahahah.
and it was just me and evan. I MEAN, of all the people in our team. why us? two girls? two girls who know nuts about sound engineering? AHHH. anyway, i learnt smth. joel gave us notes and we had a 15 min crash course. then went to the board and tried to process everything.still a little lost. haha. but somewhere there la. feel quite lost around sound engineering. ah well. we learn smth new everyday.. haha.

today. math again. haha. then i read the purple theory book the whole afternoon after a nap. then guit class. THE HOT CJ GUY CAME AGAIN. hahahahahahaha. but i dont think he's that hot anymore. what did he do to his hair lah! not nice anymore. and he wore jeans. which totally does not go with his brown and white striped shirt. FASHION CRISIS! his shirt goes much better with white berms (: hahahaha.

anyway, enough of that.
I'M LATE FOR MY NINE O CLOCK SHOW.

class party comm meeting at jess' house tmr :DDDDDDDDD
