popped by xiaostar's blog and saw this, and well, i'll post up some things here that i found there.
[Je M'appelle Hélène] - Hélène Rollès (French)
as compared to...
[依恋] by Joi 蔡淳佳
and..
[Built To Last] - Melee (English)
against
[不需理由] - Darren 陈世维
now, don't they sound very familiar? haha.. try playing both at the same time. the music is EXACTLY the same. there are many more songs around that use the same music, just with alterations in the lyrics. just that the post triggered the memory and me to go and find the songs...

SEP
didn't make it for the next sem cuz its too late for one thing, and the economics department has a "standard" of CAP 3.5 to even qualify. i mean, its stated CAP 3.0 on the NUS site, so why the heck do you have CAP 3.5 for the department and isn't stated like -anywhere- that i look? sigh..
anyway, pull CAP again for this sem and next and i might have a chance to go in my final sem.
someone kill me please or i'll end up killing myself studying.
thinking of dropping band to clear time to study and mug like a madman. shld i? sigh

新学期！
新学期でしょう！
今学期、私はもう一回六moduleを勉強します。六moduleは大変です、でも全部は私はとても好きなmoduleですから、大丈夫と思います。
私のSEPのapplicationはだめです。経済departmentはsupportしません。＝（
来週の水曜日、私はSEP facilitatorで会います。SEPへ行きたい！
今、私は日本語三を勉強しますから、blog post はもっと日本語を書けって、練習します。
でも、私の日本語はまだまだ上手から、たくさんmistakeがあります。みんな、すみません。
よろしくお願いします

2008
2007 is over and 2008 is here. so many things have happened in 2007, and I'm grateful for everything that has happened over the past year.
Being able to serve in the ex-co of nusws has been a great learning experience. playing for both concerts was a really nice feeling, even though i wanted to quit halfway through the year, and didn't really want to go to italy for fear on a drain on financial resources (which it was actually so i'm not intending to go for any trips that are not saved for by myself) elections wise wasn't that nice as things didn't go as i expected and i made quite an odd decision really.
its 2008 now and i dont know if i'm going to continue to play for planet earth even though i've practiced for it. supposed to submit the signup form for the concert the week after. really hesistant to spend that bit less time with family in exchange for the band. time wise, its not a problem, but sometimes, that tug to spend time for family is there rather than to spend time out with friends, even though they are really fantastic company like zijun, xinhui, khee nguen, ian, huili, ruixiang, teng wen, jin xun, song wee, joel, kee jun, tze ting, yoke khee, fairoz, edna, xiuyu, huikoon, cheng huat, wan ting, jasmine, sharon, fairoz, zheguang, cedric (both of you), and everyone else and of course, mr leonard tan for being so nice all the time and trying so hard to bring us all to the next level of music.
school wise, 2007 has been a year of ups and downs. i broke down in yr1sem2 and flunked my studies. y2sem1 was ok given 6 modules and i really enjoyed learning all my subjects even if i didn't do that well for some. great friends around, like ben, stephanie, cheryl, vengky.. even though i drifted away from some, i became closer with some others. makes me feel odd sometimes to see people that i was really close with in yr1sem1 drift so far away. missing the seniors that have graduated like charlene and i'm so going to miss qin yan the upcoming semester. i always looked forward to japanese classes even though we were next to each other in class to meet up for that lunch session and we could just talk nonsense. haha..
family wise, my family has stabilised over the past year. i still miss you, dad. things are a lot better now and will continue to do so. as they say, time heals all wounds? i'll find more time to go and visit now that its one module less (i hope) for this semester.
relationships wise, all in due time. Its in your hands my Lord. I'm sure you have it all mapped out for me and I'll follow you, with your words in my heart.
resolutions for the year, firstly, to lose some more weight. haha.. make more friends and strive for better grades. hopefully SEP goes through and I'll get to go around the world sightseeing. Looking around for tuition jobs still, and with luck it can be found. pay off my laptop loan by this year and get a new laptop next year along with a SLR. my clarinet wise.. i might sell off or just give it to jinxun or ruixiang should i stop playing. who knows?
everyone else, happy new year!!
