haa... did not blog since yesterday... well had a very enjoyable time last nite singing in Amplitude. First of all the A Capella was fun!! First time singing my own part solo on stage tho... hehe... the feeling is definitely different from singing with the rest of your sections! The pressure to sing in the accurate pitch and correct timing... but luckily did not screwed up much la (and its not obvious according to some of my audience friends).. Hmm hope they are not saying this just to comfort me la... Anyway the feeling of singing A Capella on stage was like just before the start of the song I was quite nervous. Could almost hear my heartbeat then :P Then actually when we started the song, the first few notes were out of tune! (Haha... guess only Lindley and I knew this :P) Luckily we went back to the correct after the first 1 or 2 bars.... if not it would be an absolute disaster... haha... Generally the rest of the Amplitude was ok la... just wondering if the other Halls' A Capella groups do receive professional training or not... coz looking at the quality of their performance, it cannot be amateur (like ours :P) Got back Organic paper... hmm not as bad as I had imagined la... but I think statistically speaking its somewhere average. More efforts to be taken! Dunno why getting kiasuer each day. Used to be not bothered by this nonsense but tend to be influenced by the environment I think. Haha... anyway... Dunno whether should submit the Immersion Application Form so soon or not :P afterall the results for the award is not out yet (the hope is still there la although I know for myself that the chances are negligible) Jetzt habe ich Angst! And the Angst just grows größer each day. Dunno since when my level of enthusiasm has become so high... Should I really go for the Programme nevertheless? Wirklich weiß ich nicht. It would be a very good experience getting to understand and discover more about the German language and culture... but the present worries is none other than $$$ la... the only thing magical in this awfully pitiful world (I shall elaborate more on this later). Dad says its ok and he doesnt mind... but I feel its expensive... Having to come up with own air ticket and pocket money... haha... ok la should not demand too much free stuffs in life. This slowly breeds greed. But anyway... will see how tho... The ideal situation would be, of course, to receive the good news very soon la (according to Frau N) Had an exciting organic lab session today! First time doing simple distillation in my life. Haha... ok la from another perspective, its nothing great deal about it. But at least it triggered the excitement in me (sad yeah? can get excited with these kind of things :P). And yeah... my left hand especially, kena quite an amount of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) which is said to be carcinogenic and harmful if inhaled. Hehe... see if in a few years later an interesting case of hand cancer would appear? Cursing myself pulak... unglaublich! Then later I added 80 mL once instead of 40mL twice according to the instructions... darned! Guess my results wont be accurate liao but well... even the TA didnt say anything also... haha... dunno lah... anyway this time its well completed and got to leave early. Hopefully tmr's lab also can leave early la... but I doubt it looking at the concept that it is related to. About this world being awfully pitiful, well... you will agree with me if you watch a videoclip. A fren H sent me a videoclip on animal cruelty last nite... It is meant to be a documentary aimed at discouraging consumers from buying furred clothes. The way humans get skin and fur from the animals is simply... inhumane. I just can't find a suitable word to describe the state of the brutality, and I dont want to pen down the details of them skinning the helpless animals alive.. ALIVE!!!!! This is extremely devastating. Never in my life have I imagined that humans are so selfish! Just to earn the meaningless (meaningless to earn it this way) money, some people are really willing to do ANYthing... Got so emotional that at some point now I begin to hate humans and hate myself for being a human. Feel sorry to the poor animals. They meant no harm to us and are already struggling for peaceful and co-existence with us humans on Earth, yet we did all this to them! Really padan muka for all the pandemics that is raging around the world affecting the human population now. Sorry but I have to think in this way. Its a form of punishment from the Nature! Perhaps some day I should formulate my Theory of Natural Biological Equilibrium here and share around. Haha... somewhere in the holidays la not now :) Cant believe it, got into KEWOC instead of Float... well have to really organize holiday schedule well now... To work or not to work? That, my friend, is the correct question. Alrighty, time to keep back some emotions and do some preparation for the 7-hour lab session tmr.
