If I were to go through music therapy,

There was once I read a book about someone who knows Music therapy whereby instruments or/and songs are involved during the therapy. It's basically a form of psychology that helps in improve or maintain health - be it physical or mentally. 

Well, and I was thinking, what exactly will happen to me if I were to go through music therapy. Perhaps I might scream like any other mentally unsound screened on TV dramas, or maybe I might end up crying and ranting out what's being kept within me for so long.

Somebody I used to know.

Music is in fact a very powerful tool in evoking certain emotions in us, also reliving bad memories and good O'times. I was once a crazy fan of music. Having equipped with at least 300songs in my mobile phone, I wouldn't leave my house without my earpiece and of course, never fail to blast them in my ears when I'm on the streets. Well, I used to keep track of all the latest hits and go crazy over certain songs for at least 2weeks. Sad to say, those songs are often the ones that evoke my emotions and bad memories. But, oh well.

That's probably the main reason why I stopped listening to songs lest they affect my emotions when flashbacks of cool memories run through my mind. Had too much friendship problems back then and to think that I have lost them in the midst of confusion and misunderstanding. No matter how much initiative I took, things just didn't get better. Sad to say, it's because of all these trust issues that's warping my perception of people.

Seemingly nice, yet cunningly mean. 

I know it sounds judgemental but all these painful lessons in life taught me to be conscious and self-centred. I mean, by entrusting someone fully isn't going to bring too much benefits, is it? Sigh, probably yes for different kinds of people. But, after the repetitive issues over the years, I'm starting to develop trust issues. I mean, it's the same logic as, 'The boy who called Wolf'', isn't it?

Overtime, some people left too much of an impact on me. And that's when I have decided to put a stop to listening to songs. A stop to interacting so much with people. A stop in sharing so much with anyone. It was done previously on purpose, but it turns out to be a routine/weird behaviour eventually. Hardly felt anything. Hardly thought about any sad stuff. Hardly able to express my views openly any more. Cool to feel no pain, yeah?

Prolly not. But I miss the good O' times when I'm naive and ignorant about how ugly the world is. For now, I need to stop blogging all my sadness and read more books. Well, I trust books. For all I know and what I need to know is that, books won't betray my feelings. 

That's surely assuring enough.

A step closer to the wonder of stars.

Have you ever stopped in your tracks just because something bright in the night sky catches your eye?
Have you ever wondered why some objects in the sky blink, while some don't?
Have you ever wondered what exactly is so fascinating about them?

I'm very sure every one of us has looked into the night sky and wished upon a star. But have you ever wondered what exactly is the star that you were looking at?

I have been star gazing for a couple of times with an awesome friend even before I was introduced into astronomy. At a glance of the night sky, there were plenty of twinkling objects dotted across the night sky. Just by lying down at the empty basketball court in the middle of the night and sharing our thoughts about everything and anything, I can't help but feel inner peace settling in.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.

Frankly speaking, I have not been an Astro-craze girl to start with. Probably just like anyone of you out there, I had the perception that stars are puny and insignificant dots that are only visible at night. Not as interesting as it seems to be, but probably an real life image that I can find inner peace from.

 

I was being introduced to Astronomy through Jieying, and slowly learning the wonder of stars under thr guidance of Jinpeng. But back then, setting up the telescope for community service was much more interesting than looking at the magnified image of stars through the scope.

Gruadually, I was being exposed to different names of the stars and its always comes to a surprise to me whenever the "star" that I have always been looking at is actually a planet. Check out the bright object near the moon these days, it's actually Venus you know!!!!! And that red dot in the sky, its Mars! :D

 

Anyway, I couldn't be more than grateful that I went for Astro lesson yesterday night. We actually went to the new Admiralty CC: Galaxy CC's observatory at the 6th floor to stargaze! Unlike the usual telescopes that we have to set up manually, there was already an automated one in the obervatory waiting for us to play with. With just a few buttons and a click away, the dome and telescope will automatically move and point to the objects we wanted to see!

I swear I was in total awe and fascination when I entered the observatory. Feels like Star Wars in action! Call me ignorant or sua ku or whatever, but I bet you will be like me when you enter the room and see how fast has technology caught up with you. LOL I really tried my best to contain my excitement, seriously!

After looking through several objects in the nightsky, I thought it was already sinful enough to look at such awesome objects in the sky, and there comes Saturn! It seems to be an insignificant and tiny object like any other stars you see with your naked eye, but the moment I looked into the telescope.....

POOF! SATURN WITH IT'S RING AND 3 MOONS.

HOLY MAMA, IT WAS PRACTICALLY INSANE MAN.

^ the picture above was almost exactly what we saw last night + 3 other moons! woohoo.

Okay, that's about it. I'm looking forward to more astro lessons at the observatory. lol

Anyway, I think my blog posts are getting boring without my troll face. So........

Here you go! :D @ King Albert Park!

Anyway, most of the pictures here are credited to Melcolm! Haha, I'm trying to practise referrencing and crediting, against Plagiarism! :/ The consequences of plagiarism in NP is so serious. Oh well.

NIGHTS ALL. :)

SNAP!

Having tied down to the busy schedule I have these days, I find myself feeling a little breathless with no sense of accomplishment yet. Coupled with the fact that school has officially started, it's definitely crucial for me to start prioritizing my studies and CCA instead of devoting too much of my time to organizing events in Woodlands CC. So...... it's really sad that we have to reschedule our K-RUN (kindness run) to next year :( #sosad 

K-RUN 2012

Okay. Just kidding. The main reason is definitely not because of me not having enough time but it's partly because of the fact that we missed out the SHINE award registration period by one day. HAHAHA. I was speechless when I found out about it but I was too sick to feel sad for my committee lol. Plus, having it next year should be a bonus for us since we'll have more time to get logistics and manpower done. WOOHOO! :)

On a brighter note, I had enjoyed awesome food while having meeting on KRUN with Jinpeng @Ritz Apple the other time when it wasn't being rescheduled to a later date. Hehehehe ^^

STRAWBERRY STRUDEL.

APPLE STRUDEL.

DURIAN STRUDEL.

Okay, I feel rather guilty cause I got to enjoy such privilege even when K-run is being rescheduled to next year. Hahaha, but what's more awesome is that we didn't really discuss much about Kindness run cause the puffs were simply too irresistible!! ESP. THE DURIAN ONE. OMG #highlyrecommended

Having a great treat and still not getting things done? #oops!

Anyway, pardon me for not being a frequent blogger these days since I have been sick for the past week. OMG. Fever for one week, can you imagine?! I was so desperate to recover that I actually resorted to different kinds of methods to keep my immune system strong! LE SIGH. Felt so sympathetic for the cancer patients and other patients who suffer long term pain and agony cause of their health. Aiyo. I should stop taking my health for granted seriously! :x

Anyway, it's obvious that this is an awesome picture of my palm! Haha, cause I'm here to encourage you to watch the new Channel 8 drama : 《断掌的女人》

Hm. Okay, basically I find myself (finally) watching TV drama but the real reason is because 我是个断掌的女人! It's really cool to watch a show that I can relate myself to, but I doubt I'll be that superstitious to believe the fact that women with  断掌 are jinx whom bring downfall to the family lol :O Oh well, but it really dawns upon me whether it's true that our destiny is actually in our very own hands, or our destiny is being controlled by the God we believe in. Oh well.

NP says: Go GPA 4.0! on the 1st day of school.  

Now whoever says poly life is slack deserves a slap from me now. -.-

Earth Hour 2012

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EVENT IN 2012 : EARTH HOUR

Yes. The name of the event has already given it away. Having an event to commemorate Earth Hour has been an ongoing and uprising trend these years for many organizations due to a raise in concerns about our environment and Mother Earth.

Indeed, Earth Hour 2012 organized by Woodlands YEC that is going to be held at Woodlands Waterfront tonight will definitely be a splendid event for all. Besides creating awareness about Earth Hour 2012 to the public through publicity such as door-to-door house visits, leaflets, banners and media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, we have also pre-planned interesting activities that encourage you to be more eco-friendly! 

With amazing game booths tended by our enthusiastic Green Ambassadors, all you can imagine is nothing but fun and even MORE FUN! Even if you are not a fanatic of games, you can always patronize the school booths that will be selling eco-friendly products they had made! Definitely not forgetting our mini flea market and YEC & PA booths!

If you think that's cool, then you have underestimated our abilities in YEC! One of our attractive highlights that we actually have is stargazing. Can you just imagine looking at the telescope and seeing awesome stuff in the night sky? All that cool planets like Venus, Jupiter and Mars will all be waiting for you to actually witness their presence! Haha.

Here's a little sneak preview! :B

hahaha. Well of course, they won't be the ones performing cause they will be too busy patrolling around to ensure that things will go on smoothly! hehe. :D 3cheers to them and the rest of the people who are going to make a change for Mother Earth. (You won't know how much we went through and are still going through omg, please appreciate the event lol!)

Come along and join us to see Mama Choo and support Mother Earth!

Besides all the fun you can have at the booths and stargazing corner, you can also get to see ME! and MAMA CHOO! okay. + GOH : Ms Grace Fu. that sounds lame right now but 'cause I'm rushing for time. Hahahaha. 

All in all, just grab your friends and family members down to Woodlands Waterfront today from 7pm onwards! Remember to bring your picnic mat and some snacks over so you can actually indulge in your awesome picnic pies while enjoying our movie screening and mini concert performance! :)

今晚 8.30pm - 9.30pm, 请把所有的电灯熄灭/关掉, 为妈妈地球找想吧！

Come along and you won't regret it! :) But guess you might if you don't!

So what are you waiting for?! See 'ya then!

PS./ Even if you're not joining us, do support Earth Hour 2012 by switching all electrical appliances from 8.30pm to 9.30pm! :D Do your part and save Mama Earth!

PS.// Bring your Mama down to see Mama Choo and support Mama Earth! hahahahah. :D
