Atrium is sick!!!

Oh no!!! It's been days since my hamster is experiencing pain on his anus area. So, I decided I shall delay no more and brought him to the vet today. Fortunately, I had been told by the vet that it's just an infection of the skin around the anus area, not really a serious case. Heng... But it's really a pain for me to see him sleeping in an uncomfortable posture just to prevent his infected area from touching the ground. Therefore, I had changed the entire bedding into a layer of those kind of tissue papers that is normally used in the kitchen for cooking. It's so much user friendly for my hamster, but I'll have to change it every two days. So, its quite troublesome. And also I had to clean and apply on the infected area with medication and feed him some medicine everyday. It's gonna be very troublesome based on my hectic schedule this week, but it's definately worth the trouble. I'll definately push away any appointments that comes in my way when I have to take care of him. I do not want him to experience the curse of what my previous hamsters had experience few years ago. Yea! For those who is wondering who is that "Atrium" stated on the title of this post, it's him. Reason being I got him from my school's atrium around 2 years ago.

Song Composing Club = My Home [14-1-2007]

It's 3.50am now and I'm waiting to upload a video to the web. I shall blog while killing the time for the upload. Just realise I haven't been blogging these few days. Probably I'm too obsessed with designing my blog page and my song. I've been working on my song for talentquestX. I've posted the video above. The title is 笔记的那一页. The loading will only be slow the 1st time you view it.

I came up the idea of this song with the help of this blog and a very talented lyricist, Wendy. I composed it during my emo days on the 6th of Jan. You will know what I mean when you read the entry for that day. I've even put in the lyrics in the video for some of you who are interested in. Hope you don't mind my poor vocals... Haha! Anyway, its the song that I wanna show, not the singing.

Hmmm... Life has been going the same as always. The only thing special is the main commitee members of my club, Song Composing Club, is gonna pass down to the next generation of members soon. As for me, I'm passing down my role as a public relation person to someone that the main comm and I believe in, someone good at communication and brave enough to venture out to seek for performance opportunities for the club. I shall not reveal the person until that very special day arrives. But I guess it would be obvious when I'm training him/her. After passing down, I will then take up the role as a senior mentor. Sounds cool right? Only year 4 students can apply. LOL! Some people thought that it sounds cruel for me. But I feel fine. The reason that I did not feel sad for staying one more year in school is becos of SCC. SCC have been my 2nd home since the day WeiMing brought me back to the club. I wanna help members in SCC like how SCC has developed me. Of course, I have to be bias in helping some people at times as there are too many members in SCC. Like what I've mentioned to Fun "I'll only help those who can't either do melody or play the keyboard if he/she asks for help and when I have the time." Yup, cos I believes that those who can do melody and lyrics shouldn't relay on others if he/she can use the opportunity to train himself/herself.

I've also been inspired by Mandy and Jason for their hardwork in teaching the members. Unfortunately, I'm not as free as them. I've to cope with studies and Final Year Project this month and attachments in the next semester. To think that Ren totally had no time to go SCC cos of attachments really scares me off. That is one reason why I'm giving off all my composed songs I did years ago to Evon, Jia Yi, Guo Long and Wan Ting as I know I may not have the time next semester. Yea, so you peeps make me proud for the upcoming monthly performance k? I believe in you all, so pls believe in urself too, especially Wan Ting.

As for Instrumentalists, I'm hoping that Larry (keyboard) and Maxwell (guitar) can rise up to assist members in their songs as keyboard and guitar is the 2 most common instruments people would want in their song. For drums, SCC have a very talented drummer and vocalist called Shannon, so we have nothing to worry. And also the guitar pro = Sean. Besides there maybe other good instrumentalists in SCC that I have not discover... Nvm, I still have one more year to do so. But ultimately, every SCC member should get to learn keyboard, guitar or bass as it will seriously helps in composing. Anyway, I think I talk alot about my feelings and views for SCC. May wanna talk about it more after the passing down. Got to go to dreamland now. Cya!

I'll be back...

It's gonna be a tiring day... [9-1-2007]

The time now is 6am plus. I've managed to keep myself awake throughout the night for school later at 8am. If I lay on the bed, even for just a moment, "that's the end of me" - quoted from Darren Neo Taolin.

I finally received a SMS from Anna yesterday afternoon. So freakin' happy! At least I know we are contactable now. But I still miss her...

Anyway, some of you may know that I'm joining TalentquestX 2007 song composing competition. The dateline for registeration and submission of demos is tomorrow and I'm still having doubts whether to join or not. I've heard rumors of composers' songs being stolen after joining the competition in the previous years and I don't wanna end up like them... How!? And the freakin' COMPASS copyrighting procedure and contract is SO COMPLICATED!!! They also need a few days to copyright the song and the submission of my demo is tomorrow...

This week is gonna be a busy week for. As usual, I'm a busy man... I had to compose and record 3 instrumental music pieces for my final year project film by thursday and 2 music pieces for Strifey Animation Production by sunday. And I still got to redo my scriptwriting step outline. STRESS!!! And... SHIT!!! I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL!!! Got to go, Cya!

My 1st entry... [6-1-2007]

Yea! This is the 1st entry of my very own blog! So cool! Steve aka Stiff is FINALLY BLOGGING!!! So lemme start off with my 1st memory to be recorded down in this "memory harddrive".

Today had been a very emo day for me. Never have I been feeling so sad ever since my hamsters died 3 years ago. Today is the day that a very good friend & neighbour of mine who loves to act cute, left Singapore to return to her hometown in Indonesia - Java. Almost 5 years of having each others company ends today. I went to the airport in the noon today to sent her off. We took quite a number of photos while waiting for the departure time to arrive. I also gave her my baby blue sofetoy teddybear and it even has a name "Molly" LOL! Especially when she calls it with a high squeeky childish voice. So cute! Soon, the clock strikes 3.10pm and she has to enter the departure hall to catch her plane to Suribaya. Of course, everyone was in tears... SO SAD LOR!!! Like experiencing a typical channel 8 drama show... And somemore she still sent farewell sms to my hp just before boarding the plane. Wa lau! Oh ya, for Darren's sake, her name is Anna. It will be so much harder to contact with each other now... I'll miss you Anna!!!














After that, I had to go attend Wendy's birthday dinner. So contridicting lor! I have to experience something bad at the afternoon, and then to attend something happy at the evening. Actually I do not have the mood to celebrate, but I still attend as Wendy is a very good friend of mine. She did quite a lot of stuff for my birthday and so I do not wanna let her down. So thats why I was so moody when I just arrived. So Zi Qin, don't think too much k? Its not your fault, I just need to be quiet for a while and recover.

Anyway, I learnt a lesson from this experience today. I better start blogging from today onwards as I do not wanna lose any good memories I had with all my friends in my lifetime. Maybe what I experience today will happen in future again. Whether its happy or bad moments, its still worth remembering. Yea, thats all for today. Cya!
