The things that make music in my crib

A few months ago, someone asked me how many musical instruments I have in my room. I think he was trying to show off but it seems like I owned him. I'm not bossing here though. I admit and I have no talent in playing them! I aspire to be like professional pro! :( Still, I am proud of my property! :)

From the oldest... My Guitar!! He has been with my for 5 years!

The Ukulele! Which I am still very pathetic in playing. I only can play a few chords. But I wanna pluck and play instrumentals!

My djembe. Which I haven have the opportunity to play. I only can play like 3 types of rhythms. Booo!

The bass guitar! Which I basically collected and played for less than 10 times. Hahah! And I don't even have a bass amp to go with it, so the sound isn't shiok at all.

Lastly a keyboard, borrowed from a friend! I aspire to play and sing well and post up good covers, but that will never happen. HAHAHA!

So many instruments, no talent :( I think it will be a waste of money if I ever have a recording studio at home. Oh well, totally can't focus on anything! My fingers just give up when it is too hard to play! I need more off days so that I can play them! (like today!)

The day is ending! But it was good :) Looking forward to more off days!! Whee!

Life Still Goes On

I will remember this quote my choir conductor Miss Yee would always say...

Somehow, I received feedback from my colleague about my work. And of course it wasn't too good. You know the moment you hear such sucky and ugly things(and sometimes if you wonder if you did anything wrong actually), your morale just sinks down and you can sit there and be in deep thoughts for hours. I had 2 choices on I could react to it:

#1 Get very angry and deny everything. Blame the person for not knowing why I did certain things/the reason why I behave like that. Find out exactly who was the one who said it about me and just do my best and clear my name. Give as many excuses.

#2 Listen and accept what she had said about me. Think what were the exact actions I did and in the future, how I can do it differently. Basically, just change myself.

It would be so so natural to go for #1. But yeah, everyone knows what is the right way. Honestly speaking, I have no idea why I was described in such a way. Because I really did my best in everything. Unless the thing is out of my knowledge or skills. A very huge "ego drop" for me. There are people who actually think negatively about me :( Nevermind, life still goes on.

Anyway I am 5 months into my work now. I still need time and a lil of getting used to. I know that I can do it.

As for now, I need to look at my past victories to boost myself up!

Oh wait, do I even have any past victories? :/

Happy Week :)

Even though work is driving me crazy once again. One of those moments I feel so inadequate and lousy :( Yes it's true, but I'll pick up. I will pick up. Anyway I'm still glad that I have the time to socialize! I need a life! And work is so not gonna stop me!

Went over to visit lil Ian too! He turns 9 days old today! Waahahahha. Honestly, I have never carried a baby over such a long time before! And the past few babies I have been seeing were dead (no elaboration required)

As of now, I can't wait for him to grow up! Wonder how he will be and look like!

:D

"I need You more"

A good Saturday in a long time!

Finally, I got to spend my Saturday with the people I love. All thanks to Roy for allowing me to rest this Sat. Heehehe. So, Danson, Nat and I had a lunch affair at Hog's Breath Cafe! Initially we wanted to go to Food for Thought near the Arts Museum but it was full house! There's always a next time!~

Awesome steak! I should have ordered that! The lamb shank I ordered was alright alright only.

We had super late lunch so the place was empty!

Finally, posing with the $650 shades!

For dinner, I went to Furama Hotel to celebrate Carlos' 21st Birthday!! The buffet was good and the party was so big! Almost the whole area was his!!! And look at his awesome cake!

The gals who were there~

My beloved SiShi!!!! <3 Looks like some clubbing scene.

Only a couple of them started going to NS already! WOW! All growing up to become men! Hahah. And then they started telling us girls all the funny and bizzare things in camp! Could not stop laughing the whole night!

Love the desserts!!

Yeah man, I need to catch up with my friends! Miss them all so much!

To end this post, I had work today. And I will be working tomorrow! Welcome to life!

Happy 21st, Lee Jing Wei!

Here's a little poem to by BFF

Happy Birthday, you're 21
Presents for you, I have none (i owe you when you come back!)
But this lil poem and a simple letter (check your letter box soon!)
Expressed with words, it can't be better!

You have been my best friend
Something I wish that would never end
Even if you are far away
Your emails with encouragements make my day!

For the past 3 years that you stayed in Oz,
I have seen that you have grown a lot
From doing housework to being a president in StudentLife,
I am sure you will make a good wife (sorry had to find sth to rhyme!)

So, enjoy your day with your friends over there
As for me, I'll keep you in my prayer
Please know that I'm always here for you
Always thinking of you. Yes! That's true!

2 photos to remember the times spent with you :)

Teaching you how to play Monopoly Deal! It was boring because only both of us played and KerYuan was studying for her papers.

The last time I saw you :( Seeing you off on 12 Feb (i remember because lifeutd started that day).

Come back soon dear!! Now that I'm working, there isn't any exam or school I need to worry about. I can simply just chill with you during my off days!! :DDD

Happy Birthday Biatch!!

What's your dark secret?

I've came to realise that everyone(including me) has a dark secret. Was just flipping though books and papers from my past, and I was reminded of it :/

Is it gonna happen? I don't know. Sometimes I hope everyone will stop asking me the same question. I don't want to be reminded.

Happy Birthday Singapore. Thank you(sincerely), for making me a spoilt brat!

Phew! I SURVIVED!

Another show done! Like finally! No more intensive rehearsals! Finally I can withdraw and slack a little! Yeah, I am really happy cos I gained so much experience this season. All thanks to Uncle Terrence for the opportunities given to me! Above that, God for planning this path for me!

It's true! After stepping out of NYP, I seriously wondered if I would have anymore chance in performing. And this chance came by! Next one coming would be NYP's 20th Anniversary musical! Well, I am not sure about next year, but I am just going to go with the flow! One day, I yearn to see my portrait picture & a description of me in a program booklet of an external musical! Wow!! That would be currently my ultimate dream! But I know I'm not that good yet! Need to train myself up and learn through the lil shows I have!

And today the ward called me to take off day! YAY! Like phew! Finally I can rest at home on a Sunday! Seriously I have been working on Sundays the past 9 weeks! Oh well, a nurse's life! But I like doing shift work cos I can arrange it in such a way that I can make myself attend rehearsals and all! Wahhahaa! My senior staff was telling me, "Huh! Again having rehearsals ah??" Yes! That's my kind of life!

Because of the off day today, I am able to attend a family gathering at my cousin's house! WOOHOO! It's been quite some time since I last saw them. Yay, I can just chillax with my cousins! :)

WOOHOO!

Okay, I'm still excited about EVERYTHING! Hehe. On Saturday, did a National Day show for Woodlands. My sister was asking me if I'm really busy with so many events outside, and I told her that I am contributing to the community. I really know how to talk crap huh.. Wahahaha. Anyway photos!!

The awesome team!! :)

The amazing twins, Cordelia & Camellia!

Not forgetting Bernice again in her slutty Indian costume!! Jeez, I really look like a BIG Nonya beside her :/

Though we were rushing like mad, I enjoyed this performance a lot! :) More heartland kinda feeling. Glad it's over!! No need to worry about anything! OH NO I FORGOT! Doing another one for Tampines this Saturday! Wahahaha!

I thank God because I managed to wake up 5am the next day for work when I only reached home at 12plus and slept at 1.30am!!

Watched Lion King with Carlos on Sunday after work.

I must say that the special effect, sets & the props were really cool. But abit disappointed in the singing part. Like nothing to enjoy in the singing. Heh. The cast had 2 kids. I love them so much!! Really hope my children(if i have) can become like them! I will groom and force them! Muahahahaa!

And tonight I'm gonna watch "Into The Woods" with my "Mommy" & "Ah Pa"!! :D Can't wait!! I am also looking to next week, when I will have off on National Day itself! Time to have a good meal with my parents then!!!
