The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss

January 24, 2008

A little boy planted a carrot seed.

His mother said, “I’m afraid it won’t come up.”

His father said, “I’m afraid it won’t come up.”

And his brother said, “It won’t come up.”

Everyday the little boy pulled up the weeds around the seed and sprinkled the ground with water.

But nothing came up.

And nothing came up.

Everyone kept saying it wouldn’t come up.

But he still pulled up the weeds around it every day and sprinkled the ground with water.

And then, one day, a carrot came up.

Just as the little boy had known it would.

“Its author, Ruth Krauss, claimed that it took her an entire lifetime to craft. Not satisfied with the impact the original version had, Krauss whittled the text down to its final 101 words, making it one of the shortest picture book texts when it was published in 1945.”

Comments about the story are welcome.

free composition

January 17, 2008

I still can’t decide what type of chorale music i want compose.
Hence, I’ve nothing to show for today’s free compo class.

Mr. Gooi wanted me to find text for my piece. After all, most music for choir have l yrics.
I can’t find any that I like, as of now.

I’m screwed.

T’sparanza o’nite

January 11, 2008

I went down to see the J1s’ Orientation night last monday to take photos. One word to describe the whole event: hilarious.

Reasons:
1. OG skits: Titanic (Victor speaking mushy stuff) , Cross-dressers dancing, can’t rmb the last one.
2. Orientation video recap: basically candid photos mixed with videos of OGLs something that we can’t hear coz the wires from the AV room are screwed up.
3. Skit about Orientation by random OTeamers: OMGYanNeng the bunny, Nigel and MelHo, Wei Zhong “That was… weird”, Ali “How about T’urnmeon”, Daryl “Choosememememememe!!”, random guy with 2 bimbo-escorts. that skit ftw.
4. Batch Dance Broken-disc Remix. Though it seemed like the only thing the remixers knew was to play “you can’t stop the beat” more than twice the actual speed.
5. Auyong, the magician’s speech. The magician wears sports shoes! “We read the Youtube comments…”

Other highlights:
1.  Burning of T’Sparanza: Being right at the front watching the burning had a different feel compared to being stuck in a crowd of sweaty people having much difficulty trying to take a peek at the burning L’audeamus.
2. Storyline, which I couldn’t make sense of. But Kean Yung looked cool as pharaoh hehe.

Some photos on Facebook, more to come soon.

L’odges now known as T’owns and T’averns. wahaha.

music montage 1

January 6, 2008

Hello people! Hope you blogreaders out there are enjoying your first weekend of 2008.

music montage

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but I decided to start with lyrics. So now, above is a montage of extracts of 10 songs. These extracts are the beginning of the songs and contain absolutely no singing.

The challenge is: listen and guess the 10 songs in the montage above. Have fun. =)

EDIT: My freewebs bandwidth has not died. The file is 2mb. No one is attempting the quiz. =(

darkroom

January 5, 2008

Breaking news (old news, but breaking for me) : RJ PHOTOG FINALLY HAS A WORKING DARKROOM! Complete with enlarger, chemicals, trays, photo paper etc.

All we need now is running water, instead of having to rush to-and-from the “council toilet”, and film negatives. Yes, film. We’re talking about real photo printing and editing here, not Photoshop. The feeling u get when u see your creation just appear out of nowhere on the paper is simply priceless.

Haven’t used the darkroom since Jun 2003, at SAFRA Bukit Merah. Can’t wait to use this one once i get myself some photos on film.

yayy yayy yayy!
