I've decided to set a theme for the year 2008. Here it is:
"Impossible is nothing"
Yes, the Adidas motto is appealing to me ^^
ok. small people can be powerful too.
Don't believe?

[two thousand and seven - farewell =]
What happened to the world in 2007?
Ok. Too wide a topic. I'll narrow it down to the popular culture (a.k.a. Pop Culture).
There are so many things that happened. But I daresay, this year is about a young wizard, Harry Potter. July was a really "Harry" summer. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" - the seventh and the last chapter in J.K.Rowling's epic tale - became the fastest selling book in history. For me, I've been better for having met Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore and all the wizards, Muggles and magical creatures of Rowling's world. It's about the magical world, yet it can be identified by the real world. It's a timeless tale of friendship, faith and the triumph of good over evil.
The little song "Umbrella". Though it's just another creation of the pop culture, it sticks to everyone's mind and reaches every nook and corner of the world. "Ella ella ella", Rihanna made a big mark at the age of 19. YES, she is only NINETEEN.
"Hairspray". The musical movie that shakes you up, and awakes the confidence in yourself.
The B-Phone by Samsung. HAHA. Well, not a big thing to the world. But do you know why I mention it?
Cos I bought this phone. LOL.
The year of Angelina Jolie. This is when beauty has both style, elegance and most importantly, a big heart.
The year when "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore alarmed the whole world. I've watched this documentary and my goodness, it's really impactful. The former U.S. vice president won two Oscars and a Nobel Peace Prize for this documentary and his efforts in trying to protect the environment.
And of course, "Enchanted" made this year so magical for me ^^
2007 is also a year of tragedies and scandals.
April 16. Virginia Tech massacre. I felt really sad to hear about the news.
August 1. Minnesota Bridge's collapse.
September. Protests against the military regime in Myanmar. My heart went out for the people in that nation. I uttered a prayer the Myanmese senior, though I don't personally know him.
December 27. Bhutto's assassination.
needless to say, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohann,... made headlines. How I wish the pop princess got her life back on track.
Why?
Her songs introduced me to music in English in 1998. Together with Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, N'Sync. Oh. The good old days.
How about me in 2007?
It's really painful to reflect on this year.
It was all a blur to me. The good times quizzed by quickly before I could even acknowledge it, the bad times kept dragging and looming over my mind.
I came to ACJC with a blank heart. 10 points for O-Level shocked me so badly. I spent the Orientation, the makeup lectures with sadness. I dragged my body to school but not my soul. Lingered on for days after days with no goals in mind. My fighting spirit was gone. The past suddenly came back to me and pulled me down. I reached out to the wrong people, trusting that they can pull me up from my emptiness and shunned away all the genuine friends who really cared for me. I sank deeper into depression.
Everyone was busy with works. "I wanna get As". Of course, everyone should work hard and persevere, putting the best foot forward. I could not do that and I stood aside, observing from afar and felt even sadder as I had no companion to cling on to. Everyone was going with the flow, moving on. While I was stuck, clutching at straws, trying to keep my mind sane.
When it was all too much, I became stupid. I did things. And I'm really glad now that I'm still alive.
Day by day, school became unbearable. I kept falling sick. I skipped school. Workload in ACJC was not designed for depressed and sick students, hence it kept snowballing until it was bigger than what I could handle. I gave up.
My depression had it ups and downs. During the ups, I did whatever I could to get my life back on track, so that it won't fall too far behind the fast-paced and indifferent life in ACJC. But the down periods just erased all my efforts away. Do you know how happy I am when I could finish a math tutorial on my own? Even though it took me three hours just to finish what my friends could do during lunch break, it was a great achievement for me.
Mr Kayden Lim is a miracle worker. He helped me to get back my basics in maths. He even called me up during the holiday to see whether I needed his help. Mdm Tham too, called me to remind me to study and such. Sadly, at that time, I thought teachers were trying to kill me.
Hence, again, I shunned away all the genuine efforts to help me.
Things at home weren't good either. Mom's health worsened, she quitted her job. Dad's project went sour and a huge sum had to be put aside to compensate for that. Anyway, it was too much for me to handle. Enough was enough. I could not care about that.
Well, I still survived because of my friends. I got to know my classmates, started from Sylvia, Kenneth and Chin Chuen. The class SC4, though not as happening as other classes, not many presidents or ex-co members and such, it is a lovely class. The crap talks, truth or dare sessions, Mark's witty jokes, NICOLE,... made the class so much bearable =] ah, Nicholas, Helsa, Charlotte, Alessa, and the gang of Gao Ya, Steph and Rachel. Really fun to talk to them, either in person or MSN =]
CHOIR =]
My first friend was not a tenor, strangely, it was Kerryn. She kept me company before my turn to audition. The audition process was also funny. Jerome was there, my senior from ACSI choir. Well, I was surprised that I was accepted after my OHGOSH audition. I am still really thankful for that. Marcus called me up and told me to collect the scores the next day.
That was how my journey started. My next friends were Joshua, Marcus and Jowell. Josh and me decided to just do it for the first public performance, even though we only had one week to prepare. And I did not know how and why, but Marcus and Heath started to get to know me and supported me. They are really nice to care for such a wretch like me. Then it was Brendan and subsequently, the rest of tenors. By genuine care, by chance, by hearing stories about me, one by one they got to know me and that's how my journey in this school was so much more bearable =]
Wow, cool right? I think that's really cool.
At first, I did not put my heart and soul into choir. I went there, I sang and that was it. No joy, no feeling, nothing. I still can't explain how and why, but I started to feel the music, I started to sense the meaning of the songs and the efforts that everyone put in. I really sang. I did. It was joyful.
I did not totally comprehend choir though. Why certain things were run that way? Why it was too much? Sometime I felt like quitting. But I did not. Thankfully. I was really sad when Josh left though. Though I did not talk to him much and he was not a close friend of mine, he was still a friend, someone that crossed my part, went through the same journey, had the same thoughts and feelings towards choir. That's why it was sad. Suddenly, there was one person missing. The section suddenly lost one person. Suddenly I did not have any companion to go back to the hostel with after sectionals every monday. It was void.
Anyway, that prepared me to face changes. Trained me to be less emotional and I became somewhat callous since.
SYF. Needless to say, I don't want to comment about it. But again, I believe in experience, not a dumb trophy. We know what we deserve ^^ We know that we put in our best efforts. I felt the music. I still feel touched everytime I listened to the recording of our SYF. I feel proud.
Again, I don't remember how, but I got to know my j1 tenors better day by day. The late night chats, crazy talks, honest writings, blogs, photos,... everything is so precious.
AEWF, beautiful music. and THEN, I GOT TO BE PART OF "The mermaid's song" during the SYF Presentation. Do you know that's one of the reasons why I wanted to join ACJC choir? I even put that down on the audition form. HAHAHA.
Well, there were a lot of bad things too. But I decide not to remember them.
Anyway, I've come to love the choir after Promos. There is more time to get to know my batch mates. More chances. It all ended with a bang with the caroling sessions.
Sadly, I had to leave before SLO.
When something good actually happens, it ends.
Anyway, I'm better now after this year. 2007 is the worst year but I grew up a lot, I think. (Sadl, I did not grow up in terms of height, lol) It left me stranded in the end but as Heath said, I get a chance to start my life over in US. Ok, I'll look ahead ^^.
I will miss my friends in Singapore, always. Singaporeans, Vietnamese, Malaysians, Indonesians, Thai, Hongkie, Filipino suddenly has become parts of my life now. COOL =]
Ok, I can't think of anything else to write. I'll end this post by these few words:
cookies, angels, omelette, brenheathmarcus, nicole, jowelljiajunjiingjiunnkennethdarryl, sylviegaoyastepthrachelhelsacharlotte.

[The Westminster Chorus]
This is a really really interesting choir. Sexiest men's choir i've know so far. Quite a gem for a men's choir.
REALLY nice to watch this one:
"The way you look tonight". WOW.
[christmas]
it's that time of the year again, as in the end of it.
This Christmas is really special for me =] thanks to my friends.
Jia Jun has just sent me a few photos from his camera, here they are:
school-triotic students who display the school's name all the time
tenor ones ^^
tenor ones, again =]
A beautiful beautiful rendition of "The Christmas Song". I melted.
1 tenor + 3 altos XD
yanling ^^
nicole ^^
thanks jia jun for those lovely photos =]
It's nice to see snowheng in action. lol.
Oh, i suddenly remember this: Don't shift during singing.
And now is ACJC choir's favorite, Have yourself a merry little Christmas. I like this version by Celtic Woman, though I prefer closing my eyes and not looking at them.
And now, this is Corrinne May's gift for everyone ^^. "In the bleak midwinter" - Recorded by her husband.
A beautiful beautiful rendition of "The Christmas Song". I melted.

[hi]
hi all. I have a computer and an internet access, AT LAST!!! =]
My uncle has given me his desktop. It's quite ok but the ram is only 256MB (so tragic T.T) Still, it works fine =] I'm waiting for post-Christmas sale to get a new laptop =] Laptops are quite cheap here. I'm eyeing a Sony Vaio, which costs only 700 usd =]
Oh, enough with the boring talk. Well, I could not go online and blog much since my laptop is beyond repair. And now, I'm back =]
I don't really know what to say now. I'm staying at home, not working or going to college so I don't really have anything to talk about.
Just upload some photos for fun =] haha. See my new hair, it's quite tragic but my uncle asked me to cut it that way so I don't look different than other kids/men. HAHA. (click on any photo to see the original size)
i miss my old hairstyle =]
You know what, the night before my departure, I went to a hairdresser near home, and THREE hairstylists worked on my head, HAHA! and then I came to US and a Vietnamese lady cut my hair SHORT!
what a waste, huh!!!
anyway, I can see the shape of my skull now, at last!

[some random stuff]
MY HOUSE
the house my parents are renting is near:
1. Safeway: a supermarket
2. One-dollar-tree: another supermarket that sells 1-dollar stuffs
3. Long's Drugs Store
4. Three Restaurants: One Vietnamese, One Chinese, One Indian
5. Lee's sandwich: a Vietnamese fastfood place
6. McDonald: oh my goodness, the McFlurry Ice-cream here is HUGE.
7. A gas station (which is useless cause I don't drink gasoline)
8. A railway
9. SUPERCUT, a hairdresser. Well, I'm waiting for my hair to be long again T.T
10. A pizza place
11. A lot a lot more stores
AND, I don't really have money to EAT and BUY stuffs
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
ok, not really fun, but Don's feeling high right now =]
which is rare =]
--------------------------
BALLPOINT PEN
How many people choke on pens every year?
there are 100 of them, and I'm not Kidding =]
--------------------------
THE PARK
there is a park near the house.
--------------------------
I'm still sad at the fact that ALL my files in the laptop are gone now. I have 5000+ songs inside that. And brendan's and marcus' music is really valuable to me.
T.T
Not to mention the choir photos.
SC4.
friends.
so much memories.
I have to let go.
I've learnt my lesson: NEVER BUY A MACBOOK
-------------------------------
Whenever I hear carols being sung, I miss the acjc choir.
Well, the choir is actually a big part of my life. A big impact on my life.
I miss the late night chat with my friends. Due to the time difference, I don't think I have the chance to chat with them again.
Someday soon we all will be together, If the fate allows.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE =]
with love,
Don

[my fringe]
oh.
my uncle asked (forced) me to cut my hair so that I don't look out-of-place with my slightly korean hair.
and BOOM. I look hideous now =]
HAHAHAHA.
and mom and dad keep saying that I look so much better now.
I'm terrified with my fringeless head, my hair is so short now. aiyo.
still. I find it funny =]
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
with love,
from Don (and his hair)
[jennifer]
ok. I'm at San Jose library now. The membership is free. You will get your library card AT ONCE. You can borrow ANYTHING with your card, Cds, Dvds, books, anything... Wow right? =]
I'm in its TECH CENTER, using a computer named "CBBTECH07".
And that's how I get to blog again.
------------------------
You may wonder "Where's Jennifer?"
Don answers: "Jennifer is seriously dead."
Not just "Dead"
But "Dead." With a full-stop.
T.T
HAHA. ALL THE FILES, The music that marcus sent me, the photos, choir videos, everything inside Jennifer ARE GONE T.T
Catastrophy.
I'm gonna sent Jennifer to the service centre again, hoping a miracle can happen and I can recover the files.
After that, I'm gonna SELL Jennifer for 400 USD, and buy a new laptop.
I'll buy a cheap laptop. I've learnt my lesson.
And this time, if my new laptop looks nice, I'll name it "Jennifer II" (pronouned as Jennifer the second), if it's ugly, I''ll call it James (no offense to anyone named James).
James Potter is actually Harry Potter's father.
Anyway, back to earth issues, I'm STUCK at home, and so are my parents.
Catastrophy.
Wait, GOOD NEWS first. I'm FORBIDDEN to attend high school. WOOHOO.
hahahahah. Anyone from 18 onwards are considered adults and cannot attend high school.
SO. I can attend college and get a job.
Well. I think it's too late for college at this time so I'll have to wait a long time to get into a college (whichever is fine).
SO, I wandered around my house to see if I can get a job. And I saw the sign "Now Hiring" at "LEE's sandwich". I went in and filled up an application form, now all I need to do is to wait and see whether they will hire me or not. Friends, wish me luck =] If I nail it, you can say hello to Don- the cashier from 5.30 am to 2.30 pm.
I'm stuck at home for now.
STUCK at home = HELL on earth. With the house we are renting with NO windows, it means HELL ^ 2 (hell squared).
Staying at home with nothing to do is seriously boring and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
My dream is to study voice and such at some college. BUT NO. There is no way I can get past the audition process. They require sight-read (which I can't), live audition of an aria by Handel... (which I can't). So dream burst.
So blah blah, I'll just go to whatever college, do whatever it has for two years, and then go to Uni.
Well. It's still a long time until I can get into a college. I hope I can get a job asap to get some money.
And you know what. I'm eligible to drive ^^ Cars here are only 1000+ US dollars. SO, I will have my own car, if I have the money. Cool right? =] Anyway, USA is too big, I need a car to get to college and such.
----------------------------------
I'm missing my friends, still. And all the photos in Jennifer are lost. GRRR. Thank goodness I uploaded some onto Photobucket. But still, I lost A LOT of photos.
This time is hell for me, no job, no school, nothing. My parents are not working either. They can only get a job in two months' time.
Oh dear. Money is disappearing and we are not making it. GOSH.
The house we are renting is painfully small.
But ok for me.
HELLish.
-------------------------------
This Christmas is the WEIRDEST of all. And 2007 is the worst year of my life.
But I have fantastic friends this year ^^
MERRY CHIRSTMAS TO ALL =]
and hope that 2008 will be a better year for all of us =]
with love,
Don

[acirema] [america]
As Jennifer is dead, I'm blogging this with my uncle's laptop.
-----
I've arrived, after 2 flights that lasted nearly 14 hours.
I am really stunned by US. It is just so unexpected, and not exactly in a good way. Things are weird here.
Again, I have a culture shock.
It's kinda cold here. 9 degree Celcius or so.
America seems to be quite sad.
But well, it can be fun =]
I'm really disorganized in thoughts right now so I'm just gonna blog about random things that happened today:
1. There is Starbucks coffee on the plane. Wow =]
2. ALL things in US are HUGE, GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS. Oh my goodness. The size of shampoo, potatoes, milk cans,... everything is so large. Not to mention the size of Americans. WOW. They are so tall and strong =]
3. I feel so tiny here.
4. The American accent is SOOOO CUTE. Ok, the "SOOOO CUTE" part is bimbotic but well, the accent is really nice. hahah =]
5. I hope I can have that accent. But well, three years in Singapore and I don't have the Singlish accent, so I don't know whether I can be influenced by this "potaDo" accent.
6. Americans are nice and kind and courteous. That's my impression on my first day here. Thank you. Hello. No problem. That kind of thing. And one guard at the airport actually refrained from his post for a while just to help me to some coins and dialed the number for me. I felt touched by that simple act =]
7. But still, America is still cold to me. Well, there are no Jowell, JJs, Kenneth, Darryl, Brendan, Marcus,... Nicole here.
8. The place my parents is renting is live-able. But I seriously doubt that I can survive in that house during summer. It has NO windows.
9. I'm not sure yet WHAT I will study. I hope I can get into a college. Whichever is fine. I don't want to do high school again.
10. They played a lot of choral carols during the flight. That brought back a lot of memories.
That's all folks.
Wish me luck.
With love,
Don =]
P.S. The time in my posts from now on will be according US time.

[thank you all =]
I know I can never say thank you enough for all you have done for me, tenors and friends =]
I'll miss you all =]
(^o^)
I was really happy this morning when a few of you actually sacrificed your precious sleep time to come all the way to the airport to send me off at such an unearthly hour. THANK YOU, thank you!
All your laughters cheered me up, and I am sure we enjoyed "Pet me", the fake lao shi, walking back and forth, and something else I cannot post here =]
I hope you all enjoy the chocolate chips =]
And YES, my bass friend came =] Thanks JunJie =] I hope you enjoyed Tenoring Time with us!
with love,
Don
P.S. Thank you Jowell, Kenneth and Sharyl for your farewell posts =]
