I had no ideas of what to write for thequaver, but that is no longer an issue. As I was going through a list of my old msn messenger nick names I used, I realized some were meaningful, and others interesting to share with.

It is not a long list though. All listed are in sequence from the oldest.

1) •$17sobx Hell and fire •$37High School Musical ROX!•$44 •$17 "Perfection is only in the eyes of the beholder" ~~AZURE~~

This nick name came at a period which High School Musical was out. It was also a time when I thought only of perfection and the used the cliché phrase "Perfection is only in the eyes of the beholder". I remember during my orientation, a joke was made, what is in the eyes of the BEE HOLDER? It is a lame joke – PERFECTION is the answer if you haven’t figured out. The ‘sobx’ come from a period where the emo-ness in me was looming. If your wondering what’s ‘•$17’ is – it is a colour code for msn messenger plus an add-on program.

2) It possesses a nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious, calm and imposing accents to savage, orgiastic outbursts.

This is from the period when I was a TROMBONE enthusiast, and everything that matter was me and my T-BONE. If you don’t get this nick, I shall explain! It says that the trombone possesses a nobility and grandeur of the highest degree, with all the serious and powerful tones of sublime musical poetry, from religious (means church music), calm (means soothing music) and imposing accents (means the tonguing crescendo and stuff) to savage (means brutal harsh phrases), orgiastic outbursts.

3) "Perfection is only in the eyes of the beholder". ====Carpe diem ====To succeed one must forsake his desire.

Another period when I felt perfection was only in the EYES of the BEEHOLDER. At this point, I’m practically insane. But it’s true, to succeed we must forsake our desire, for example, games, animes, toys and etc.

4) ~~!!A meaningless life on earth!!~~ Lower Wind S.L haiz..I MUST GET AN EDWARD BASS TROMBONE..Memento mori !!!!!

A trombone enthusiastic phase again, however, there is a twist, I find life meaningless now. This was the time when I gotten my band post, and eager to get my own bass trombone too. If I’m not wrong, I had chanced upon the word Memento mori, which is a latin phrase – a reminder that "Remember that you are mortal," "Remember you will die," or "Remember your death".

5) It possesses a nobility and grandeur to the highest degree; it has all the serious and powerful tones thats the Trombone~~

A repetition of my earlier nick, but a shorter version of it. ^.^

6) “Whoever teaches a student teaches that student's student – and so on until the end of man's generations.”

The old phrase of a teacher is a teacher for life. This nick of mine simply says that when you teaches someone, a student, you teaches the student’s student. Reminiscing the past, I had written this with the mindset that I have become a section leader in my school band, and what I teaches my junior will be passed on and on to the junior’s junior.

7) cherish what you have shore. First Love-Addicted to You!~

AH! This was the time I got to know First Love, a great Jap pop song. The quote “cherish what you have shore”, I probably have taken it from some where, but couldn’t seem to remember where.

8) 06/10/06 HAPPY Mid-Autum Festival!! Haiz the fond memories of childhood!

The Mid-Autum Festival, the time for mooncakes! I’m probably recalling my childhood when I used this nick then.

9) Draw the sword and stand once again for your belief, strength, honor or power, you will be able to resist the winds of destiny!

I think I had taken this quote from a youtube anime video I watched. It’s a really cool quote, inspiring too!

10) The hardest level of music is to make an easy song sound hard, and a hard song sound easy.~!

Another time of bandiness! A statement that music making is not easy, because you need to make easy sound hard and hard sound easy. I’m not discouraging you or anything, music making is not easy. You need determination, perserverance, hard workingness and interest.

11) (Sod's Law :The natural tendency for things to go wrong whenever possible.) The law that governs our life!

I chanced upon this in the dictionary. You might as well find out the indeptness of this law yourself, because if I tell you what I think the law is saying, I may go wrong. I do not want to go wrong here, when there is a law!

12) " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we aren't able to please every one." said me.

Ever feel that you can’t please anyone, then this quote in my nick describe the situation your in perfectly! We do not fear inadequatecy, a kind of thing that we can change in due time to adequatecy. But we can never please every one we know! The lion, Leo:Rahhhh!!!

13) The fragrance of a wet forest or a beauty of a field of wheat swaying in the wind.~

This is the last of my recorded nick names for msn messenger. It is the ‘chimmest’, the hardest to grasp or understand. If I recalled correctly, it is about city life versus country life. The city life is like the fragrance of a wet forest dense and stressful, whilst the life at the country side is free and easy like wheat swaying in the wind.

That’s the end of all my recorded nick names over the span of 2 years, 2006 & 2007.

Like Joseph who always end a post with a picture, I’ll let you on a glimpse of a picture I took on my New Zealand trip.
