The Break is over! 开战咯！
The Break was a busy one. Not just with the not-very-diligent preparations for the 4 Mid-term Papers this week, but also with meet-ups with friends who are flying off. Again.
Had a drink with Wenxiang at Harry's.
Had a Dim-Sum lunch with Eric at Ah Yat Seafood.
Had a steamboat dinner with Shiwei at Parklane Deli House.
If you're reading this, have a safe flight back to London, and a good academic year ahead!
-------------------
The EnginClub Appreciation Dinner ended well. Our entire Engin Camp 2009 Sub-Comm turned up for the formal dinner at KR Guild House, and had fun camwhoring again. I guess most of us didn't know there'd be such a dinner to 'appreciate' us after the end of a year of EnginClub events, so it was really quite a 'bonus' to our effort put in. Afterall, our camp's one of the Best so far! 绝对不是自卖自夸！
-------------------
On another note, after reading so much about the F1 Rocks concert event for the Asian Singers (on Day 1), I feel sorry for the audience and the singers for such low-class and slipshod organisation of a 'World-class' concert event. I'm sure none of the 4 groups of singers left the event happy, neither did most of the audience, for such grave technical errors in audio and lightings, and the huge delays and embarrassments faced by the very top pop-singers in the Mandarin Music Scene.

And on yet another note, yusong & i are quitting guitar class after end-October. It was a snap decision made immediately after yesterday's class, and we went straight to the counter and signed the termination forms.
Well, for me, I realised I've never really practiced once before, since the class started in May, and I've been artificially keeping the class going, by physically turning up every week, and playing catch-up with the teacher. I confess I was lazy during vacation, when I had more time then. But right now, even if I have the drive to practise, I'm left with no time.
With no time to practise, what's the use of turning up every week then?
Furthermore, this guitar class is undoubtedly relatively more expensive than other alternatives outside. That's excluding the fact that guitar can be self-learnt. AND, with the basics that I have learnt from the past 5 months, I think I can proceed at my own pace.
It's not difficult to make that snap decision. I merely asked myself, "Will I be happier terminating this Sundays course, rather than spending 3 precious hours to travel to town for it, then rush home to finish off with my workload?"
With that, it spells the end of my Enrichment Sundays. Temporarily only, lah, will kickstart again next year!
As for guitar per se, Don't laugh at me as yet , because my interest hasn't subside.
人生是黑白的.
