Lunch outing

Finished PBL early today so went back to hostel and get my lunch. Just when I finished my lunch, JW sms-ed me saying changwai wanna ask me and Diana along for lunch. Since long time never see that guy who ran off to IMU dy plus just finished 2nd modular assessment, so I promised to meet up where CW will be picking us up. We considered for a long time where to have lunch, and finally CW decided on having it in Midvalley. And today's also the 1st time I visited JW's house. Love it!! Also chatted with Ah Pang who's having 4weeks study week. We had lunch at Kim Gary's where me and Diana only had drinks while two others had their lunch. Aww....I sooo miss the time where we chatted non stop...about everything.....miss that CW whose filled with so much humour =) Hope we can have such time together again~~

p.s: I soooo hate coffee yet I still love it...duh~ As long as I don't drink coffee in the afternoons and especially at night...else I won't be able to get to sleep at all...

I'm under stress. Again. And the only way I know how to deal with it is to watch movies non stop @_@ So now I'm watching "Beautiful Life", the famous Japanese drama starred by Kimura Takuya and Takako Tokiwa. Again. And I still cry like hell alot watching it. =p Although next Mon's modular assessment..hope I'm fully prepared for it...and certainly hope my memory won't fail me...*yikes*

Doubts...

I THINK I saw SKL today in the ktm I was riding on my way back from Ipoh to KL. He didn't saw me and I also don't dare to call out to him either as I was wearing a face mask myself. Guess he wont recognise me either. We haven't been exactly close except that we've known each other ever since primary school, if its not for the chinese essay tuition class. It sure has been nagging me since this morning. That weird feeling just keep coming onto me. *sigh*

Watching The Covenant now. Its a 2006 movie. I still remember I watched it in the movies and I keep thinking that I watched it with my sis. Found out that my sis has never watched the movie. And the thing is I don't remember at all who watched the movie with me already. I just wish someone could refresh my memory for me. *sobz* Now there's more to something to bother my mind.

Gonna continue studying after finish watching. Next Mon's 2nd modular assessment. And next Fri I'm going back Ipoh again for mooncake festival.

Perfect pitch VS Relative pitch

I have perfect pitch myself. It runs in the family I should say, so that includes my sister and my brother and my dad. I still remember someone back in choir said that he does not trust that there's such natural talent as perfect pitch and surely not in someone like me (long story back during that time in choir). Even said that's he's a perfect pitch himself and yet he always has to depend on me to give him the right key and the right note during practices. *dash underscore dash* Really cant understand these people. It'll only damage more of my brain cells by trying to understand what's really running in their brains.

Definition

Absolute pitch (AP), or perfect pitch, is the ability to name or reproduce a tone without reference to an external standard.

The naming/labeling of notes need not be verbal. AP can also be demonstrated by other codes such as auditory imagery or sensorimotor responses, for example, reproducing a tone on an instrument. Therefore a musician from an aural tradition, with no musical notation, can still exhibit AP if allowed to reproduce a sounded note.

Possessors of absolute pitch exhibit the ability in varying degrees. Generally, absolute pitch implies some or all of the following abilities when done without reference to an external standard:
1. Identify by name individual pitches (e.g. A, B, C#) played on various instruments
2. Name the key of a given piece of tonal music just by listening (without reference to an external tone)
3. Identify and name all the tones of a given chord or other tonal mass
4. Sing a given pitch without an external reference
5. Name the pitches of common everyday noises such as car horns

Relative pitch

Many musicians have quite good relative pitch, a skill which can be learned. With practice, it is possible to listen to a single known pitch once (from a pitch pipe or a tuning fork) and then have stable, reliable pitch identification by comparing the notes heard to the stored memory of the tonic pitch. Unlike absolute pitch, this skill is dependent on a recently perceived tonal center.

Knee pain

My knee pain's back to haunt me!! ITS BEEN FOR 3YEARS!!! Its all really due to the badminton and basketball playing. *dash underscore dash* That's why I wasn't able to run much or even jump while playing these sports. I can't bear the pain again. And that results in me suffering while walking up and down the stairs. Can't even wear high heels. I wonder when all these will end. I seriously don't want to end up undergo surgery to remove the menisci or what. And I soooo miss track-running where me and Ah Ong always compete against each other to see who's the fastest. =(

starting of Hari Raya holidays

I'm sooooo stuck in the hostel now. *sobz* Can only go back home on Sun morning while all my friends are either going back today or tomorrow OR even back in their hometown already. Thanks to "them" the train tickets for today and tomorrow are all sold out. ISH!

I WANNA GO HOME~~

p.s: To those who're concerned about my allergic and sleepwalking conditions, my skin problems are getting better, just scars left which need a long time to disappear. As for my sleepwalking thing, I don't have a second experience already. Guess its just that day where maybe I'm under some amount of stress. ;p

New invented technique

I just found a new technique of playing badminton in my room when I don't have a badminton racquet and the shuttlecock. I used a toiletroll when I've finished using it as the shuttlecock and the broomstick as my racquet and my room door as the target..thanks to my pathetically small room. LOLZzzz. I wonder what my roommate will say when she knows about it. *wink*

Stupid uni!! We had a long day of almost 9hours straight of no-electricity day. And it's not only our hostel, but the WHOLE uni..so that includes the classrooms. So the students especially the music students like my roommate is forced to stop the classes else they'll be having them in entire darkness (that sounds romantic though =p) Lucky though that I went out from 3-6pm to play badminton with my juniors in Angkasa's MPH. Muahahaha...guess that new technique of mine has some effect...I think I've a hang of it on playing badminton already...at least better than the previous session we had two weeks ago. And now I'm OFFICIALLY addicted to badminton, which its good! ^^ Later I'll go on to swimming...as soon as I get my roommate to go together...I SOoooo wanna have a look at North Wing's newly built swimming pool...and also Blue Ocean Strategy's fabulously-magnificent hall where I only saw pictures of it in the newsletter of UCSI website. Seems that we even have a Steinway grand piano in UCSI now...COOL!!! Just that its in North Wing's Blue Ocean Strategy hall...me and Ying Hui have absolutely no idea why they put it there since the music faculty's in South Wing here *dash underscore dash* Oh...and no-electricity day like yesterday is no big deal...we just had the same thing last week...last week is for 7hours...duh~~ We gave so much money and yet the electricity power's terrible. Seriously we need to hand in petitions and even letters of complaint from the parents so that the uni know how "miserable" they're making our life. PLUS yesterday there's a heavy rainstorm after I got back from badminton session, which makes my stomach have to suffer until 7something when the rain almost stopped and me and YingHui just have to get our books and her laptop to Taizi cafe to get away from the hostel. We stayed there till around 11.30pm after I got the sms from Michael that the electricity's back in hostel. I guess the people working in Taizi probably recognised us both already. LOL. We're there last Thurs too..hehehehe =p

Now I'm hoping that they won't have the same thing again next Thurs..when I come back to KL again after going back home this Sun. And next next Mon's 2nd Modular Assessment =S Hope I can get better results, else Dr. Aishah's gonna screw me. *yikes*


p.s: Special thanks to my juniors especially the guys, Jee Wei and Chap Hoong who taught my how to play badminton and again to Chap Hoong and Jee Wei for dragging me off to play basketball last session =) Oh..and also to Yu Leong la...for teaching me how to shoot basketball last time during orientation. LOL.

Quote of the day

If one person got a zero in his examination, it does not mean that the person has zero knowledge on the course.

*Quoted from Dr. Nelson's lecture on [Data & Information], one of the examples of interval data where there's no absolute zero*

extreme allergic reactions

Recently when I went back to Ipoh, went to consult another skin specialist ==> Dr Henry Foong in Fairpark. My skin problems had gotten worse again coz I've eaten groundnuts without myself realising...ish! Anyway...I went home with two puffy, swollen eyes....and after the swelling has gone down it results into the skin around the eyes "coming out"...and its really a terrible sight~~ The doctor gave me some medicine with ointments and cleanser with moisturiser for bathing and applying. He also suggested that I get a IgE test. Dad got my blood sample and also urine sample to check for the IgE level and also whether there's presence of Helicobacter Pylori coz I had problems with my stomach recently too. My blood test results came out few days after...and seems that my IgE level is 1500IU/dL while the normal level is normally lower than 100IU/dL...that is just soooooo terrifying....and I can't do anything about it except to avoid the foods that lead to allergic reactions...haih~~
