Of sweet little nothings, results and drumming!

Just something amusing but sweet to share.


If you guys haven't already know, I'm dabbling in Twitter and Plurk, two social networking platforms, which look like stripped down versions of Facebook's 'What are you doing now?' The concepts for both are pretty much similar, it's just that I'm pretty in love with Plurk's customization option, in which you can very much decide you wish to have your Plurk page look like. Plus, its timeline feature is waaaay cool. As for Twitter, it's just playing keep-up-with-the-Jones, since my 2216 lecturer was basically imploring us to use it last semester. The boyfriend, on the other hand, wouldn't have much interest in Twitter; he basically hates everything which starts with the twi- syllable, and has a very bad name for that.

Oh and to the results. I spent all of 10 seconds worrying about it, unlike Jack, who was basically sleepless the previous night. I just thought it wouldn't make much sense worrying about things that have been cast in stone, unlike things you could change at that moment of contemplation. Results were okay, but I'm still missing my long-term target by that inch. I know I could have slapped myself real hard and condemn all the wrong footing, but the real deal is about pondering about the potholes and taking it in my stride. There were alot of factors which contributed to the results, but to simply point the accusing finger towards them would be ultimately childish. We are masters of our own worlds, aren't we? So like what I always say at the end of everything, it's time to work even harder next semester!

Drums workshop! We were lucky to have Sean as our FOC instructor, because I believe he does drums lessons outside for a fee. But to teach a left-hand-impaired, coordination idiot like me drumming was probably worth double the fees outside. Jack had taught me a simple variation before, but this lesson opened my eyes to the world of drumming. And it was when I realised that my left wrist is totally retarded, especially when it comes to the fill-ins. Plus I realised how bad the electronic drums were; the recoil of the bass is bad!!! But Sean was extremely patient with us, and was always around to rectify our mistakes. The best thing? He even prepared notes for us! Kudos to drumming and Sean! Pictures up soon! (As soon as I kop them from the President. Haha. It's good to have a change.)
