Da, bineinteles ca aceste credite merg catre 3 persoane: Paul (me! :D) , Iulia, Nora. Damn, we are good ! :D

Ma simt eliberat, total. Simplitatea domina.

So preparations were done today afternoon after choir, when i rushed down to swee lee to purchase the contact microphone extension for my (stolen) korg tuner, and then rushed down to Synwin, where to my horror, they were having a stock check and nothing could be purchased from them. The boss, i think his name is Reuben, realize my desperation of needing to purchase some peg drops to tune cellos, and kindly explanined to me, that the problem was not about not using peg drops, but about position of the strings at the pegs and how to properly tune a cello without destroying one.

 Fortunately, a taxi trip $9.60 saved my lateness when i arrived at coral at about 3.15 pm and began to tune the cellos, my god i suceeded, and managed to tune 3 cellos to close to perfection.

Then came the problem, i didn't know how to restring erhus.

Whenever one problem is solved, another one seems to accompany.

After a try, i decided to give up a handed the job over to the TICs (who themselves struggled). And i went through Meng Chai with them, and yanheng still seemed to struggle with most of the parts. Lucky some still sounded pretty good (hey come on he started to learn just before CNY...) Then i need to praise the gaosheng player desmond for having improved his rhythm and played much better today. And today, i bought 3 packets of sweets for them (actually costed $4.70 in total only) and they were quite delighted.

I guess for primary school kids you need some other strategies. They are more inquisitive and willing to learn, but you need some things to keep them at attention (sweets in this case). Then for secondary school kids, esp. those who just began to learn, they tend to be stubborn, difficult, and often uninterested and not willing to try. It seems that if a band kid doesn't wanna go for band, reprimanding him/her really doesn't work, they need to be... self-enlightened. That was my case.

I said before in my blog i think, once you've learnt to love something from hating it, you'll love it for life.

Then for JC students (i'm this level), the only reason we are still in band/co/choir is because we liked it. So we're not that difficult. Lol.

After that was CO as well, rushed over to SYCO from 6 pm when coral ended, and sat in at about 7.05 pm, technically i wasn't late since Mr Yao did not start yet. Today was JJL (a common short form i use with suona friends to talk about "将军令") and 古槐寻根, the drone-bagpipe sounding song with a sentimental introduction.

Also after realizing Meng Jie's suona concert was $20 ($28 before discount), i am considering not attending. It is beyond my budget for a concert frankly.

Anyway time to pick-up the method of stringing erhus.

See you soon.

Cred ca asta spune totul. Facuta intr-un moment de plictiseala (probabil) si din dorinta de a-mi exersa stilul "tipografic". Astept pareri.

P.S. Imaginea nu e copiata de niciunde, e facuta de mine in 21 martie 2008 intre orele 22:00 si 23:00.
[This is an off-topic place... so ... free your mind... write comments :) ].

Missed Mr Lim's Aural lesson at NAFA. But the day didn't end there, i rushed down to coral primary school and reached nicely on time, to teach the suona boy at the CO. Ok he seems to have improved, but nevertheless i can't help but to wonder how come his playing is so soft. (At least the tone is acceptable). After going through the syf set piece "梦彩", can't remember his name, but it was the same composer for the CO set piece last year (both sec sch and JC set pieces). With awkward and intervals seldom found in chinese music, this piece is certainly not "suona-friendly", especially to beginners.

Then Ms Cecilia Ooi, TIC of Coral Primary CO asked me after the suona sectionals, "Hey Mr Lee, would you like to help us conduct? 今天老师们没来。"

I said, "Sure, no problem." and proceeded into the room, then after the pupils settled down, today's rehearsal began.

Certainly, theres alot of room for improvement, but i'm glad to see that all the students were generally obiedient, except one kid who made funny noises on his erhu after i said "大家安静" on purpose to spite me (i guess). I dealt with especially the dynamics, explaining to them that beside tone, tuning and expression, powerful dynamic contrast will give them a good medal. (Yes a bit realistic but generally true). Then there was this yang qin girl complaining that her yang qin stick was too loud and couldn't play softly (as i asked for), then i said "要控制乐器，不是乐器控制你，You control instrument, not instrument control you..." then she had nothing to say after that. Can't remember who i learnt this phrase from, but its not original.

After that ordeal, i rushed down to holy trinity church on taxi to attend Mr Liew's service. After which jonathan arrived late, and that makes today's gang I, Sean, Yew Ngee, Amelia and Jonathan (he's the youngest).

On the bus trip to Mandai crematorium, Jonathan got a bit... high, no explanation for that of course. Lol.

I had the honour to place 3 flowers into Mr Liew's casket, and i'll have to say that he was sort of a friend to me, more than a friend's father, when he was alive. Used to call him up on hp to ask him about certain windows problems, and he was also kind enough to offer the sales of a selmer tenor sax for only $300 (should have grabbed that offer!).

Rest in peace Mr Ernest Liew.

After the mandai trip, we went to Pizza Hut at tampines mall for a dinner, treated by eldric's mom. I ate 4 slices of pizza and a soup today, certainly considered far too much for the day.

Sean and amelia took 81 along with me. So that marks the end of the day.

Really nothing too philosophical for me to post today, i seldom do that much anymore anyway!

See you soon then.

Well then my first encounter with CO was in sec 4, when i was planning to get an introduction to the CO community by volunteering to play guanzi for a piece called “荆楚雄风”with AHSCO. Its not some story of mine that alot of people actually know. They were going to play it for the 50th anniversary Anglican High concert at esplanade. Of course, the band ourselves also had a piece to put up, Phantom of the Opera (with minor bite-size parts of a piece called Jungle Fantasy, yeah the weisiong joke behind it), and there was time for me to go CO practice cos sec 4s were excused on mondays from band pracs. However, the teacher incharge, decided to stop this from happening, stating that as not being an official member of the CO, i would not be allowed to participate. There was some minor gunfire here and there. But end of the day, i decided to give it up.

I hear AHSCO is having a concert end of this year! If they have an empty spot for tenor suona or guanzi, i wouldn't mind to join in. I heard the teacher-in-charge has changed, so things might be easier? Its not my original CCA, but i still feel that i can contribute to the CO in AHS which i have never really been a part of.

Now, for some unknown reason which i can't even answer, i'm currently pretty deep into this CO thing and i'm now also in SYCO. After an audition last november, i had a rather smooth entrance into this highly sought after Chinese Orchestra.

Well actually first of all because of some teacher-pupil relations, also with a few of the Suonas leaving, there was going to be space.

SYCO's fun man, as compared to what Jun An views of it in my opinion. He seems to detest it somehow. The fun is the standard of the repertoire, challenging and enjoyable! Today was combine practice, known as 大组 in CO lingo, and we were practice only this pretty difficult piece called Gada Meilin Symphonic Poem, 嘎达梅林交响诗. Yeah its a very symphonic piece. There are numerous dynamic changes written, and somehow the suona section was just basically just blasting away (as we usually do). Well can't really blame us, its hard to control in the extreme dynamic range! The piece was 5 pages, 15 mins long. Quite sight-readable for my part, but the counting is the hell out there.

I was talking with the guanzi guy, very nice guy, Jiawei, whom i just met today, about guanzi reeds, dead guanzi teacher, his poly course and stuff, then suddenly...

“次中音唢呐！！进来！”

Oh damn, i just missed the 1 bar solo i had. Luckily that was a gauge for where the section should come in on time in the next segment 15 bars away. You see, sometimes one's failure can still contribute to the good of others as well. Lol.

Bernett had great tone for his solo part, sometimes the alto suona sounds like a really broad english horn you know.

After syco, i and jun an took the train with the other SYCO members. Was talking to Michael Xu abit, and discovered that Guo Chang Suo didn't teach any SYCO related things during sectionals! He was teaching the gao sheng playing how to play traditional sheng and michael how to play gao sheng! Its nothing wrong really, sectionals turned into free private lessons with the section teacher. Then he told me he would be going america next year, but currently he is in TJC (obviously clarence forced him in into CO there). Also met Li Han, cherine's classmate who plays erhu at SY, we chatted abit, she's a very nice person as well.

I guess, the myths about SYCO being filled with over-confident, dao and kaopeh people is at most a half-truth. From what it seems, SYCO is filled with friendly and interesting individuals.

Btw, i'll be going for nite games at AHband-camp tml with jarred. We expect it to be fun, so it better be. More to say tml then. Goodnite.

 So the invigilator went "WHERE IS LEE TING FENG MERVIN?"

Silence for a moment, then she went again,

"WHERE IS LEE TING FENG MERVIN?!!?!"

...... "That person, doesn't exist."

Guess who said it, Mr Liu Wei Lie!

Yep so as it figures, i went to TPJC today, in the afternoon, just for band practice. Mr Adrian Chiang invited me to join in. (Or should i say with sound compulsitivity involved??)

The band was small today, all J1s (except me if you consider that i am J2 and STILL in the TPJC and TPJband namelist...) Before Mr Chiang came, i and jarred attempted to find a spot so that i could try using his bassoon to play the basso continuo from the Cello Suites. Got chased around for disturbing KI test at various spots, until we just decided to play in the Audi (Smelled really bad from turpentine as there was some ongoing small-scaled parquet resurfacing for the stage...)

Wow, i could actually play the first bass line quite "well", on a bassoon.

Ok went on to do the warmups and tried to practice the new pieces of my own. Oh god, they are no joke.

Cavetown Kappadokia, yes that famous piece TJband people keep talking about previously. Quite difficult, lots of high Gs and A-flats in the 1st Tbn part. Features a vocal part for certain parts too.

Chess, i mean, highlights from "chess" the musical. Okay this one is no joke. The 6th note of the piece is a Double High Bb, dropping down to a Pedal C# on 17th note. Mostly made up of high notes which will never see the light of the day of the staff itself! Catchy rhythm, you can find this on youtube. Sounds quite neat. Then just before the song ends, theres a Double High C to cover. But luckily you scale up to that. This talks about 1st Tbn.

When 1st trombone part is crazy, the Bass part is usually, quite just as tough but the other range down. Lol.

There was this new newbie J1 in trumpet section who never played before. I just got this feeling he is going to be in some trouble with the pieces. Then sammy the alumni came back today. The newbie guy said "Wah, i don't think i'll ever be able to play all this stuff."

Sammy said, "Can lah, you will, in 1 month."

1 month, time for some BMT-style trumpet practice lol. Oh yeah today it seems justin tan went to play alto-saxophone. Not bad tone i would say!

The J1 trombones are not bad! Both have above-average tone.

Then clarence joked with me today, he was supposed to take attendence for the band members. He saw me and said.... "Eh, mervin your name on the list leh..."

I said, "Aiyah, just tick for fun lah!"

"Yah ok, take your attendance for the sake of it then."

After band, jarred tagged along to east-link foodcourt when i ate a bowl of bak chor mee. They deproved, now without the offering of that sweet-chilli sauce, which was the only special about that "Mee Kia Boy" supposedly award-winning stall.

Tml's lesson with shingo-san at 11 am, will be at Tiong Bahru Plaza Foodcourt. Perhaps i might go to IT Fair 2008 after that? Shimin said she would be going today (which effectively means went.) But my experience with IT Fairs tell me that saturdays will be a torture to visit, with you not being able to walk more than 10 steps a minute.

See you all then, soon!

とても忙しくになったね（実に、シンガポールの学生の生活はいつも、じゃなければ…変態でしょう。）朝は音楽理論、午後には合唱、そして水曜日は毎週小学校学生に民族音楽を教えてあげる日だから、タクシーのすることは重要になった（意味がもうお金を使った。）然し、チャルメラ学生はちょっと上手になったから、もちょっと嬉しいね…僕も学生に悪いものを話しました：テロリストはシンガポールの拘置所から脱出することはほとんど無理です。多分、多分、多分、あそこに不慮に殺した？そして、彼の脱出は猫黙り。

でもNAFAの最後テストは１８日です。時間がないよ！またあとで！

Okay the grammar certainly isn't perfect, but the translation is this:

"I'm becoming very damn busy (Actually, singaporean students are always, if they are not, its perverse/wrong). In the morning music theory, afternoon choir and then going to Coral Primary School to teach kids CO music. All in all, using the taxi became important (which really means that more money was used.) However, the suona kid improved slightly, for that i'm quite happy. But i also told him some "bad" stuff today: For a terrorist to escape a singaporean detention centre is almost impossible, maybe killed by accident there? His escape is then a deceptory tool. But the finally test for NAFA entrance is on 18th, no time left, so see you later!"

 Okay, its just a random conspiracy theory so don't come criticise me about it! Nowadays i'm really very politically correct!

Anyway, besides all that choir, theory and work at coral pri, there was also principal study lesson with Fredi at 4 pm. Today he accompanied (being basso continuo, sort of a baroque bass accompaniment part) for the sonata.

I was thinking maybe jarred and i could do this for that yamaha music competition thing he suggested, hmm.

 And elizabeth started to chat with me, said she was bored, i guess i'll get back to talking to her again. See you soon!

Ok and just one picture for fun, on the taxi, at about 3 pm, it was raining this heavily:

Sunt 2 cuvinte pentru unii. Pentru altii, sunt doua calitati. Ce-i drept, pentru multi dintre dragii nostri "pamanteni", aceste calitati sau virtuti (depinde cum vrei sa le numesti) sunt absente in proportie de 100%. Pur si simplu, nu exista.

Noi, cei care traim in era vitezei, nu mai avem timp sa avem un pic de recunostinta pentru cel ce ne face un bine? Un mic multumesc ? Un pic mai mult decat acel mic multumesc ?
Cand cineva face un efort pentru o alta persoana, ajunge sa-l faca degeaba, il face pentru nimic si pentru nimeni, pentru ca nu "primeste" nimic in compensatie. Legea compensatiei nu prea e "satisfacuta" in ultima vreme. Ce ar trebui omul sa faca ? Sa nu mai faca bine, pentru ca nu mai primeste recunostinta ?

Eu am recunostinta. Am pentru tot ce am avut in viata aceasta. De fiecare data cand m-a ajutat cineva, eu am ajutat acea persoana de 2 ori mai mult. Asa am fost invatat. Cei care te ajuta, nu-i da la o parte, nu uita de ei si nu in ultimul timp, ajuta-i si tu pe ei. Nu, nu se mai intampla lucrul asta. M-am convins ca unii nu imi sunt recunoscatori ca ii ajut, nu sunt... pur si simplu. Asa observi foarte usor, care iti sunt adevaratii prieteni, dar nu te ajuta decat intr-o proportie de 50% sa zicem.
La celalalt 50% intervine respectul.
Dai respect, primesti respect. Teoretic.
Dai respect, primesti un sut in ... Practic.
Eu cred ca e ceva normal ca in viata, relatiile intre oameni sa se bazeze pe respect. Nu ma refer la relatii "amoroase". Ma refer la termenul general. Da de unde, vad ca in jurul meu respectul dispare, mai ales de la cei care ii credeam prieteni(e). NU e nimic. Nu e nici o problema. Comutam macazul. You respect me, I respect you. As simple as that. Peace!

Sa ne citim cu bine...
(Inceputul pentru un alt articol... e aici) : You can't hide, you can't run... Anytime your last day might come. That's why you should live your life as you feel it !

Asta a fost "portia de non-sens pe ziua de azi".

Acum sa trecem la lucruri mai serioase. Simt ca am trecut de acele crize adolescentine (nu sunt foarte sigur, dar tot ce e posibil) sau mai stiu eu ce alte "framantari" (Mi-o spus X ca Y ca Z a vazut blogul tau, si nu i-a placut ce a vazut acolo, si tu esti doar un ratat). Am ajuns sa am reflexii inverse (Aici intervine o poveste frumoasa :
Se duce unul la doctor, si zice:
- Domnu' Doctor, eu am reflexii inverse !
Da doctorul cu ciocanelul in genunchi... sare piciorul.
- Domne' , tu esti sanatos nu ai nimic. Dar totusi, cum ti-ai dat seama ca ai reflexii inverse?
- Pai, stiti ... eu lucrez la o firma... si de fiecare data cand sefu' striga la mine, in loc sa ma doara capul, pe mine ma durea in cot.)

Asa si eu, am ajuns sa ma doara "in cot" de toate prostiile lor, de ce sa imi stric eu capul ? Vorba lu' d-na diriginta: Nu va agitati, ca nu are rost, ci mai rau, va scurtati din viata...

Deci ... De acum incolo, stam toti relaxa, la o bautura racoritoare (sau fiecare ce doreste, dupa preferinte), mai palavragim un pic asa, ca sa nu ramana gura inghetata si o sa incercam sa ne preocupam de probleme existentialiste (sa speram).

Cei care cautati profunzimea prin zona asta, are pus DoNotDisturb la usa. Reveniti intre orele 07:59 - 08:00 (Acesta e momentul cand ajung la scoala, sau cand dorm cel mai bine, daca e weekend.)

Sa ne citim cu bine, si cu "chestii" mai frumoase.

P.S. : Cei care nu aveti un limbaj "curat", nu treceti de "testul anti-doping al comentariilor".
P.P.S. : Starea mea de acum e una euforica, intr-un fel, zici ca sunt high. Revin mai tarziu cand "se va putea" scrie ceva ceva, asa pentru sufletelul tuturor.

... Clasa pe jumatate goala, aproape toata lumea pe jumatate goala (a se interpreta din punct de vedere spiritual)| ... but hey, look at the other side, right?
Toata lumea devine curioasa, ce scrie aici? Ce e de fapt aici? Poate ar trebui pusa intrebarea altfel: Cine scrie aici ?
The Old One, or the New One?
* Daca esti inca in ceata, iti spun ca fraza de mai sus se refera la mine. *
Eu as zice ca the New One. There's just too little "The Old One" for strangers in my life.
Cu timpul, prin intermediul unor experiente, observi care iti sunt prietenii, care nu iti sunt, cu cine vrei sa lucrezi, cu cine nu...

Soarele se inalta tot mai tare pe bolta cerului. Norii se imprastie... altii apar. Probabil e doar fumul de la Kronospan ( o fabrica de cherestea de la periferia orasului).
Probabil toti suntem ca acei nori. Unii suntem doar o simpla poluare pentru aceasta viata, altii prea falnici ca sa meritam un anumit fel de viata s.a.m.d.
Cum ei calatoresc pe cer dintr-un colt in altul al planetei, asa calatorim si noi prin viata pana ajungem sa ne "disipam" in eter.
Tot ce stiu si cred ca sigur stiti si voi e ca noi ne facem singuri calatoria... ne alegem calea.
Tu! Da... Tu!
... Tu poti fi primul Elvis negru...
... Tu poti fi primul James Brown alb...
... Tu poti fi cine doresti tu...
... Tu poti fi ceea ce... esti cu adevarat!

Ce maiestuos si solemn se incheie totul, ai spune ca am fost pe frontul de lupta, dar erai doar tu... Eroul luptei tale.

Sa pun un titlu...

...Un titlu pentru tot ce ma inconjoara...
...Un titlu pentru cei ce ma urasc... (P.S. Facem lista ! Astept sa iti pui numele aici : )
...Un titlu pentru cei ce ma iubesc... (putini, dar e OK)
...Un titlu pentru cei ce le plac lucrurile aparute pe blog...
...Un titlu pentru cei ce nu agreeaza acest blog...
...... Si intr-un final, un titlu pentru cei care injura in aceasta zona ...

Prea multa lume crede ca ma implic prea mult in ceea ce scriu, probabil asa este... Prea multa lume crede ca acest blog este viata mea, si nu stiu nimic altceva... Prea multa lume are doar prejudecati si nu vor sa descopere adevaratul om, prea multa lume nu are ce am eu... acel ceva, pe care putini il intelegeti.

De-a lungul timpului au trecut prin aceasta zona in scris, de la ironii frumoase la umor englezesc, si mai rar, "confruntari" spirituale profunde.
Cine a iesit cel mai castigat din toata aceasta... blogareala... am fost eu... EU. Am aflat ca exista anumite tipuri de oameni, de colegi, de prieteni, si variante (sau unii ar zice feţe) ale mele.
Oamenii se clasifica in urmatorul fel dupa parerea mea: (P.S. : Nu ma judeca, nu de alta, dar asta e dreptul lui Dumnezeu si nu al tau si nici al meu, dar mi-am permis sa ma abat de la regula in cazul de fata... pacatosul de mine... ca sa imi spun of-ul)

... Probabil e fara sfarsit aceasta lista.

Si totusi, I live my own life (this should be read like WTF?!) . Nu ne dam seama cat de bine e sa fi uneori increzator in fortele proprii. Uite asa o sa il cunoasteti de acum pe Paul Roman. Un tip, care intotdeauna a fost increzator in fortele proprii, in ceea ce poate creea, increzator in talentul sau, in capacitatea sa de a gasi solutie in orice situatie, si nu in ultimul timp, posibilitatea de a manipula pe orice parte, oamenii. Blond la suprafata (prejudecatile dumneavoastra probabil deja s-au activat), dar profund si increzator in interior.
Acesta este doar un sumar al "calitatilor" si poate "defectelor" mele. Dar va las ceva mai mult :

Vreti sa va descriu cum e Paul Roman cu adevarat ?

- Daca ii este cauzata suferinta, el este cel care va lovi cel mai tare, si nu cu pumnul cum (n-)ar crede unii, ci prin inteligenta.
- Este acel cineva care nu ii pasa ce spune lumea despre el.
- Traieste dupa propriile reguli si conceptii.
- Este greu influentabil, daca nu imposibil
- Are un mare respect pentru monarhie si tot ce inseamna acest lucru.
- Considera ca liberii-cugetatori nu ajung in iad (nu neaparat).
- Apeleaza des la ironie.
- Niciodata nu lasa pe cel de aproape sa se bucure prea mult, decat daca acea persoana chiar semnifica ceva pentru el.

Eu, sunt acea persoana, ce te poate duce de pe culmile Raiului, in prapastia iadului. (Nu te speria! Nu e chiar asa de rau!)

... Si totul parea atat de simplu... Inca un caz pierdut... Inca un om neajutorat si profund ganditor...

Uite ca acei oameni sunt mai puternici decat credeti...

Nu ati vazut nimic... din mine.

P.S. : Postati daca doriti sa mai vedeti blogul acesta pe internet, chiar sunt curios de parerea voastra.

P.P.S : Ca si bonus, ca ati citit pana aici, am sa las imediat un link de download/ascultat melodia Nikkfurie - The A La Menthe.

Si totusi, sa revenim la lucruri mai serioase, cel putin pentru mine, cu toate ca nu sunt implicat direct, ci doar sunt interesat in acest domeniu, si anume : Bursa.
Da, bursa a cazut intr-un stil mare, ca sa spunem asa. Scaderile inregistrate pe la mijlocul sedintei au fost undeva pe la 5% in medie, pe plan mondial.
Totul a inceput din Tokyo, continuand cu Hong Kong si cu Sydney, urmat de bursele din Europa, iar cea din urma, New York.
Se anunta o scadere a bursei mai drastica decat una decat cea din 9/11 (11 septembrie - ziua atentatelor din New York), insa "Bursele europene au revenit pe plus dupa anuntul FED de reducere a dobanzii de referinta" si "Rezerva Federala a redus dobanda de referinta la 3,5%, pentru a reduce riscul de recesiune a economiei SUA". Am lasat niste link-uri pentru cei interesati de unele cifre.
Ca sa explicam pe scurt, s-a intervenit pentru a nu se ajunge la o scadere mai drastica. De exemplu, acum in SUA, vor ramane mai multi bani in mana consumatorului.
Pentru orice alte detalii cu privire la bursa, use the almighty Google.

Si ca sa revin la "oile mele" , in ultimul timp sunt... ok . D-abia astept campionatul judetean da baschet, poate poate, who knows, ajungem la nationala (cu toata ca nici eu nu cred ce am zis aici, there's still hope). Scoala, se incheie destul de interesant, recuperez medii la care nici nu credeam ca am sa fac, distractie mai multa, si mult mai mult zambet (ca nu ar fi fost destul!) pe chipul meu :D .

Talk to you soon ...

Nu mai simt nevoia sa postez in blog, sau cand postez, nu o mai fac asa de des.
S-a dus acea "dependenta". Probabil ma exteriorizez mai mult acum si nu mai am nevoie atat de mult de acest blog, care m-a ajutat de-a lungul vremii.

Let's get back on the main subject : In ultimul timp am fost foarte ... foarte ... ocupat. Si cred ca o sa fiu in continuare. O sa fie interesante lucrurile ce o sa se intample dupa vacanta ce va urma.
Am avut cateva "proiecte" de realizat, destul de interesante, bineinteles, in ce altceva decat in domeniul webdesign-ului. Probabil o sa va prezint ceva sneak peak or something, dar asta ramane la latitudinea mea.
Simt o oboseala generala in tot trupul, pur si simplu am nevoie de acea vacanta de o saptamana.

M-am saturat sa abordez acele probleme "sufletesti" , pentru ca ma fac prea mult sa sufar, deci implicit, nu o sa mai abordez. Poate doar daca simt neaparat nevoia... dar nu prea cred. Am ajuns sa fiu imun la tot ce e in jur, si implicit, I just live my life, on my own way.

P.S. Merita citit acest articol, care arata cum ma simteam si eu cu ceva timp in urma. Probabil va ajunge si ea in tabara "imunilor" ... who knows.

P.P.S : You can find superificiality at it's most hi-def everywhere :) deh, traim in Romania, si asta ne ocupa tot timpul, nu?

Sarbatorile de Craciun au fost chiar foarte frumoase. De la cumpararea unui brad, pana la impodobirea lui, de la seara de colinda, pana la frigul simtit in toate oasele, de la bucuria copiilor (cu toate ca sunt si eu inca copil, dar la mine si la altii de varsta mea, lucrurile sunt schimbate) cand au vazut pe Mos Craciun, pana la bucuria manifestata in urma "remarcarii" lucrurilor primite de la Mos Craciun a tuturor copiilor. Sau pe scurt, Totul A Fost Magic!
Urmatorul mare "eveniment" a fost Revelionul. Revelionul bineinteles, marcheaza trecerea intr-un nou an, un an in care sa fim mai buni sau mai exact, un an al schimbarii (Apropo, Paul sprijina total aceasta initiativa).

Recent, sau mai exact in urma cu 20 de minute aproximativ, am terminat vizionarea unui film interesant din punctul meu de vedere, si anume "American History X". Este un film ce te poate marca si iti poate da o altfel de viziune asupra vietii si asupra celor ce ne inconjoara. Mai exact, este un film ce ne arata America in vremea existentei Skinheads (Nu cred ca mai exista acum asa ceva, dar e posibil). Acei skinheads, sau mai exact, neo-nazisti, erau impotriva tuturor lucrurilor diferite de culoarea lor, de modul lor de a gandi, aratand o furie nemarginita fata de toti ce nu erau cu ei, cei care erau "niste oameni normali". Actorul respectiv, Edward Norton, pot spune ca este extraordinar, transpunand foarte bine acel personaj. Probabil nu voi mai vedea un film atat de reusit mult timp de acum incolo, dar ... Vi-l recomand cu incredere, daca nu va deranjeaza violenta existenta in film. Totusi este prezentata o realitate cruda inca prezenta in unele locuri din pacate.

Lasand la o parte acest film care m-a lasat cu gura cascata, ar fi de mentionat ca vacanta aceasta nu prea am avut timp de odihna prea mult. Mai exact, am avut maxim 7 ore de somn pe noapte. Au fost ceva lucruri de facut, dar intr-un final, au avut si acestea un final, dupa cateva eforturi. Ca sa zic asa, apogeul a fost ieri, cand m-am pus in pat, rupt de oboseala la 06:00 AM.

Sper ca anul cel nou sa va aduca doar bucurii si schimbari in bine, la orice capitol (chiar si mentalitate). Mai sper un lucru, sa ne revedem cu bine si cu ganduri pozitive.

Probabil ca sa imi fie mie bine, ar trebui sa ma inchid la minte.

Nu, nu ! Nu e vorba despre ... acel Big Bang. Ci un altul, unul mult mai ... nestiintific decat precedentul. As "nara" urmatoarea fapta:

Din dorinta expresa a colegilor mei de a colinda profesorii, s-a ajuns la decizia de a gasi o colinda (respectiv a o invata) care sa se potriveasca tuturor celor implicati in acest act. Tocmai aceasta implicare a fost "buba". Mai, in afara de 5-6 "stele cazatoare" care cantau destul de frumos parerea mea, nu canta nimeni. Bun, hai ca partea cu 5-6 stele cazatoare am inteles-o, nu de alta, dar au cantat un "demo" ca sa ne dam seama de ce urma sa le cantam noi profesorilor. Termina fetele de cantat, pana acum totul bine. Acum vine decizia "cea mare" : Ce cantam ? .. Tacere de mormant (precum dorea D-nul de Antreprenoriala sa facem ... si anume .... tacere de ... mormant) ... Nimeni nu misca nimic, nu schita nici un gest, de parca nu s-ar fi auzit ultimele 5 minute nici un cantec. Pur si simplu, e ca o jignire totala. Te chinui (si aici ma refer la fetele respective, ca ele s-au chinuit) 5 minute sa le canti ceva, si cand e sa ... fie momentul sa primeasca feedback-ul (cum imi place si mie sa primesc in blog) , pur si simplu, pauza.
Acesta a fost doar "incipitul" sau cauza ce a determinat "Big Bang-ul adaptabil" . A aparut "intr-un tarziu" ( a se citi "destul de devreme") o cearta de toata frumusetea. Ghiciti la ce s-a ajuns ? Tocmai la ce ma chinuiam eu sa explic in acest post, despre cat de superficiali pot fi unii oameni, despre cat de nepasatori pot fi unii oameni, faptul ca suntem uniti ca si clasa doar din punct de vedere al numelui (si anume 10 A... dar atat). Practic doar cu numele sau cu titlul cum spunea cineva, ne legam intre noi.
Nu inteleg insa un singur lucru ? Cum am putut ramane mut la ceea ce se intampla in clasa ? Nu doream sa ma implic intr-un astfel de conflict ? Sau pur si simplu am considerat acest lucru o cauza pierduta ? Dumnezeu stie ... Inca ramane o enigma pentru mine.

Am dat delete la blog-ul meu mai vechi (http://gentleboy.wordpress.com/) acesta nemaiputand fi accesat, deci orice o sa mai vedeti, sau ce vreti sa auziti despre mine, o sa auziti aici.
Am simtit de mult nevoia sa scriu din nou aici, dar nu prea mi-am gasit timpul necesar.

Am remarcat in ultima vreme cat de multe mizerii se fac in Romania aceasta draga si iubita, de noi, toti.
Observ cu stupoare cat de usor trec anumite lucruri prin parlament, ca de exemplu, votul uninominal. E ceva ce ii ajuta pur si simplu doar pe baronii locali, pe noi cetatenii, nu ne incalzeste cu nimic acest vot uninominal. Lucrul ce ar trebui precizat ar fi ca, atunci cand e vorba de bani si cei mai mari dusmani devin prieteni (de remarcat PSD + PD). Ah da, eu nu inteleg ce mai cauta D-nul Basescu pe scena politica, dar in fine. Vorba profesorului meu de matematica, "Politica e prea murdara si de aceea nu imi place". Tind sa ajuns sa cred ca si el.
Magicul Cioroianu este ... magic, bineinteles. Cu cine ? Cu regele Spaniei. Este un magician care se joaca cu protocolu', acest protocol, care "cand dispare, cand apare". Pur si simplu patetic. Cum am ajuns sa fim condusi de astfel de retardati ? Chiar nu inteleg, pe langa mai e si ministru de externe, deci pe scurt, reprezinta imaginea Romaniei :| .
1 Decembrie, zi desfasurata cu mare fast la Bucuresti si mai "putin" la Alba Iulia, orasul Marii Uniri. Ceea ce mi s-a parut totusi destul de iritant, a fost faptul ca au trebuit sa se faca repetitii in Bucuresti, tocmai pe cele mai circulate artere din capitala. Asa suntem noi romanii, sau asa sunt ei ... cei care ne conduc aceasta mult iubita tara.
La Alba Iulia, din ce am inteles, s-a desfasurat totul pe deviza "uite-o ca nu-i!" sau cel putin asa am remarcat noi. Dupa ce au driblat ca un mare fotbalist posibilitatea existentei unei parade militare, autoritatiile locale au decis ca totusi aceasta sa aiba loc. Din "fericire" aceasta manifestatie a avut aproximativ 1500 de participanti, lipsindu-i acea fastuozitate de mai demult. Pot sa spun ca intreaga operatiune, a fost un mare nimic. Au lipsit si acei soldati (adica erau prea putini la numar), care mergeau toti la pas, adevaratii profesionisti.
Pot spune ca am fost mai pe seara la Alba Iulia, dupa ce am luat un autobus plin de "petrecareti" care m-au distrat cat de cat. Simteam ca sunt intr-un autobus cu ultrasi, asta era senzatia.
Apropo de ultrasi, mi-am amintit si de fotbal. Astazi au fost trase grupele la EURO 2008. Putem sa spunem ca am nimerit in "Grupa mortii" precum o titreaza si marile ziare (Marca, L'equipe).
Grupa C este grupa in care se afla Romania, impreuna cu Italia, Franta si mai noii nostrii prieteni, olandezii. Italia, campioana mondiala en-titre, detinatoare de 4 ori a trofeului, este favorita acestei grupe conform caselor de pariuri. Franta, finalista cupei mondiale din 2006, nu mai are nevoie de nici un comentariu. Am ajuns sa ne agatam de Olanda, echipa care am prins-o (in meciuri jucate ma refer) de 5 ori in ultimii 2 ani, ultimul rezultat dintre aceste doua, fiind unul de 1-0 pentru Romania. Victor Piturca are mare dreptate, putem sa ne calificam mai departe, sau putem sa nu venim cu nici un punct acasa, vom trai si vom vedea.

That's all folks ...
