Midnight. There's something unusual about this midnight. Almost everyone in my gtalk contact is online.
Well, most utpians do stay awake past midnight, but this night is different. The long awaited moment has finally arrived. In my case, 2nd year 1st semester result is out! But it's out late for around 40 minutes so after many intervals of refreshing on the result page, I finally get to see it!
My result is exactly what I had expected it to be (if you'd read one of my previous post). Nevertheless, I'm not too depressed by it. I had been mentally prepared for this way earlier before the real result is out and had long regarded this as a well-fought battle of the past. For now, focus on my present, plan for what's coming up next. Of course, I am far from being satisfied with my result so I must work extra hard this semester!
I will be heading off to Alor Setar for 2 days for some orchestra practises with other secondary school students. Compared to the previous school we went to, we should be expecting this training to be tougher, more serious, and possibly a tad less friendlier. The 'horror stories' that we had been told didn't manifest themselves much in the first school, but who knows what will happen in the upcoming school we are going to visit? No matter how things turn out, it will be a tiring trip, so let's hope the end result will be fruitful. Next update is till then.

Pre- 2nd Year 2nd Sem
My blog is getting a little bit dusty again so here I am.
My status? Currently back in UTP one month earlier before the new semester kicks in. UTP Chinese Orchestra will be involved in 2 upcoming performances: Konsert Diraja (which our Royal Highness the Sultan of Perak will attend) and Tapestry of Colours (will be held in Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra). Both are monumental events that will be in their grandest scale, hence the reason why I'm back one month earlier to practise for them.
It was a rough start to settling down. The management was so strict in handling our accommodation till the point of stupidity and defying common sense. I won't eloborate further. There's so much to rant about and I don't want to turn this into a long-winding post. In short, I just wish UTP management will at least put some trust in its own students and treat us as mature and grown-up adults. Enough said. Despite that, I'm now back in my permanent room in V5, with a good internet connection so I'm grateful and happy.
Life's so far so good for me. It was not all work and no play. The practising hours may be gruesome to look at but we did get enough rest and plenty of days off. Base on personal experience, this period of month also observes some closer bonding between UTP CO junior and senior members, as well as strengthening ties between secondary students from other SMK schools. The way I describe, everything seems to be on a bed of roses. Well, not quite true. The worst has yet to come. Deadlines are creeping nearer, and I have a feeling somewhere somehow there's a tensed-up spring ready to snap. For now, I will ignore this gut feeling and focuses on my practices. To my batchmates, holiday is edging closer to the end so enjoy it to the max!
