Lex Luther: I'm sorry, but it's just that sometimes the dark side of me takes control over me...
Clark Kent: Yeah, everybody has their dark sides...
Lex Luther: Yes, just that I can feel mine creeping over the corners... Friendship helps to keep that at bay, and that's why I want to be your friend.


I think I feel the same way... I dunno what my dark side is, and neither do I want to know, but I know it exists.

Sometimes I think that I have (adapted from "Me, Myself and Irene") Advanced Delusional Schitzophrenia with Involuntary Narcissistic Rage. I mean like, sometimes I can be 1 person and another the next minute... Maybe this has got to do with the dark-side thingy... It's like when I'm out and about with friends, I can be oh-so happy and whatever not... BUT, when it comes to me being alone... Hoho... Maybe the phrase "Friendship helps to keep that at bay" is true... It's like, every time I'm alone, I will think about the past, think about the future or just think. They always say "Dun think so much la"... And my reply to that is: I got no friends what... Dun think then what? No friends no friends... I can just feel my dark sides creeping over me... Haha... Oh wells... I know some people read this and think that my life is *seemingly* screwed. But that's just becos I'm alone when I'm typing all this... And when I'm alone...... Things happen. So if you think my life is screwed, it means that you are not a friend of mine (or not close enough) cos if you are my friend and you are there with me (or for me), you will never see this side of me.

Anyway, since I got nothing else to say, I might as well talk about the RJCO concert yesterday... First, it was raining... puddles of water everywhere... seemed quite dangerous... (i'll tok abt this later...) Second, the 10-minute walk to RJC was filled with water puddles (oops! again!) Ok, I dun think the puddles were that dangerous... It was the pathway... Whatever... Enough rubbish talk...

First song: Chun1 (Full Orchestra). Not really MY kind of song... It was really...... peaceful. Wasn't loud or energetic... Little emphasis on percussion... Timpanist was a little bit weird? Hmm...

Second song: Taiwan Zhui1 Xiang3 Qu3 (Full Orchestra). Quite ok I guess... None of the "blasting" that I like... Previously playing timpani guy played paigu... Then I noticed something weird about the paigu... Yes, that guy may have crossed his hands to play and all that, but I still noticed that the paigu had a reversed arrangement? Or is it just me? For them it was like, the biggest drum on the left and smallest on the right, exactly like the timpani... But shouldn't it be the other way round? Biggest one on the right and smallest on the left?

Third song: Hungarian Dance No.5 (Sheng Ensemble). Catchy. Quite comical also... The speed at which the diyin sheng was playing... Haha... Could even hear the "tak-tak-tak" of the guy pressing of the buttons... Lol...

Fourth song: Jiang1 Nan2 Chun1 Se4 (Erhu Solo + Yangqin Accompaniment). Cool. Lol. Guy in front of me kept taking pictures of the erhu soloist (who happened to be a girl and wearing a very cool costume... *snicker*) Ask around to know more...

Fifth song: Yi4 Xiang3 Tian1 Kai1 (Zhongruan Ensemble). Not bad too. Like some guitar ensemble. Wait a minute, it is!!

Sixth song: Da4 Li3 Qing3 Feng1 (Tanbo Ensemble). Finally something that involves percussion after 3 songs. Quite ok. Xylophonist was left-handed and was practically playing in darkness cos there was no light at the edge of the stage.

-15 minutes break between "the end of the first half of the concert and the beginning of the second half of the concert".-

Seventh song: Cao3 Yuan2 Mu4 Ge1 (Guzheng Trio). Hmm... As usual I dun really like guzheng and all that... can go to sleep liao... yawn...

Eighth song: Chang2 Hen4 Mian2 Mian2 (Zhu Di Concerto). Basically it's one guy playing 2 dizi... one bangdi and one qudi... I think it's my favourite song of the evening... Damn nice... Although not the blasting kind, it's still very nice...

Last song: Da Mo Sui Xiang and Mo Li Hua. Again, Luo Wei Lun's composition... Sian bo? Quite good la... Mo Li Hua was good also... The only thing was that percussion played a small part... So... ya, anyway, concert ended, thankfully it stopped raining outside... But the bad thing was the pathway was slippery... I must have slipped like at least 5 times... Oh well, who asked us me to wear flat-soled shoes... I may have slipped a couple of times, but LUCKILY I didn't actually fall... Whew! Anyway, on the trek back to the mrt station, the pretty pretty pretty girl in front of me (wearing pink canvas shoes) suddenly slipped, screamed and fell. I think it's in that order. Hah! Who asked her to wear flat-soled shoes... Then she and her friends started laughing... My god... Screaming and falling on your butt and you still can laugh like it's some slapstick comedy... Lol... Scary!

Oh wells. That's about all I've got to say. If I've missed out anything, it's not becos I've forgotten, but it's becos I dun want to say it. Ciao.
