Well

Hullo there.

Before i launch into the story of my life these past few weeks, i shall make three announcements.

~ Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a charity show for the Chinese government schools in Pahang on the 30th of August, 2009. This charity show/concert will be held in Vistana Hotel, Kuantan, involving a lot of people and VIPs. Not to brag, but a lot of awesome performances will be performed on that day from the Talent Makers from KL and my books will be sold there too - My 'Sweet' 17. Remember, the price will be $17 per book, and i will be donating 15% of my profits while i get a total of 5% only. So, to any one of you who wanted to get one but couldn't go online to buy, my books will be sold there on the 30th in Vistana - yes, in Malaysia! - before the charity show starts - and it's only a limited amount of 60 books. If any of you who is interested to go to the show, please contact this number to get tickets 013-9324415 (Cecilia Lau). There will be 4 types of tickets sold; RM 20 (for normal seats), RM 50 (for VIP), RM 500 (for opening ceremony VIP) and RM 1000 - if i am not mistaken. People in Kuantan who loves classical music, please do not hesitate and just come! This might be your only chance to really get to see something unique from talented and passionate children and it won't be a disappointing show, i can assure you. Spread this to your friends, families and cousins and relatives.

The cover of my book. Though simple, but i think it's nice. If you can't make it to the show, you can order it online. To order it, please go to www.redleadbooks.com and look under fiction. Or just simply type the name of my book there. Thank you.


Well. Now that this thing's settled... I don't know why I'm still so silly some times! It has been years since! Oh my gosh, i probably made the biggest mistakes of my...um, of this week. But! Not gonna tell you what it is =p. Only, trust me, it's unspeakable, but surprisingly, i don't regret it like i used to. Hah, i knew how to get over it now. Just forget about it XD

~ Oh, and this is for the previous post. I just knew about the results today and i just passed my violin grade 8 exam! With a Merit! I am so relieved, though i think i could have done better in a lot of ways. But, nonetheless, i am pleased with my results and i just had a realization - i finished my violin grade 8! Yay!

~ Ceremony At The Avenue! is in need of a new drummer. Yes, we really need one! Anybody who is reading this, please spread this news around to your friends, families, cousins, school, friends... LOL. But if you think you're up for it, please leave a comment below or in the chatbox, and don't forget to leave a contact number and a name! We look forward to playing with anyone of you out there! Yours truly, CATA.

SABS International Understanding Night 2009 was a blast. =) Yes, it was. Though there were some complications and a 'mild' technical problem, i still think it was awesome. Job well done to the committee, and a very nice show performed to Caprice and Hayad. It was a pleasure to meet them and it sure was a pleasure for Ceremony At The Avenue! to play for so many wonderful people.

I enjoyed the time and am glad to have met so many old friends again. I missed you guys! I dunno if you guys felt that i changed - for the better or for the worse - but i do hope you guys enjoyed what all of us had prepared and played for you guys.

This is the only picture i got/ found. Any of you who had taken more pictures, please pass it to me! Your name shall be credited here, no worries ;)

And last but not least, this song is Paramore's newest single; Ignorance. It is an awesome song, as it can relate to me in ways you couldn't even begin to imagine. Their third album will be coming out in September 29th! Yay!

Please listen to the song while looking at the lyrics. The lyrics is the sum of everything i can say to you people right now.

Ignorance



If I'm a bad person,
You don't like me.
I guess I'll make my own way,
It's a circle, a mean cycle.
I can't excite you anymore.

Where's your gavel, your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me,
Well sentence me to another life.

Don't wanna hear your sad songs.
I don't wanna feel your pain,
When you swear it's all my fault.
Cause you know we're not the same.
We're not the same
Oh we're not the same.

The friends who stuck together.
We wrote our names in blood,
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good,
It's good
It's good
It's good

You treat me just like another stranger.
Well it's nice to meet you sir.
I guess I'll go.
I best be on my way out.

Ignorance is your new best friend.

This is the best thing that could've happened.
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it.
It's not a war.
No, it's not a rapture.
I'm just a person, but you can't take it.

The same tricks that once fooled me.
They won't get you anywhere.
I'm not the same kid from your memory.
Now I can fend for myself.


Now you can see, why this song relates to me in loads of ways. I can totally feel the full impact of this song, and i think i truly understand it to its extent. I totally love it!

I found that as I'm growing up, i really see the true faces of people around me. Cautious, people. My advice to you, from personal experience. Friends who once cared, can turned their backs to you in a second. Friends who once loved, can turn and step on you on their way out - of your life. It doesn't matter of their age, everyone is still human. It's a pity, cause we can rarely find a person that will stick with us no matter our status and backgrounds. But, if you do find one, remember to grant him/her a special place in your life, cause, no matter what, they are the special ones and you must appreciate and love and hold on to them no matter what.

Remember kids, material ain't everything. I know that I'm a teenager and can't judge anything in life yet - but i ain't judging nothing. I'm just expressing myself, or i can't even do that now? But you gotta know this, sooner or later, i am going to be an adult, and i have to think about things that is important and think for myself. Unless you end my life, which, I'm sure, will shut me up permanently - and will shut you up permanently too. *sigh*

But why am i being burdened for things that are repeated and happening every single day? Why me, and not others? Why is it always have to be me?

When i didn't succeed, you guys looked down on me. And when i do, you guys tried to pull me down. Why?

This is neither a war, nor a rapture. I really don't have anything to say, and i don't want to say anymore. Let this come to a past, and maybe things will go back to normal. But if things do get 'extreme'... whoa. Then. Let us be reminded that it ain't my fault. I'm just a teenage kid - who thinks a little bit more. I do not announce that I'm perfect, this is all just my opinion. Please remember this.

Oh! I just found out something amusing! Not gonna tell =P Till next time!
