-Thank GoD for Weekends-

The past 5 days had been really tough...

Literally everyone was in jumpy spirits as the project deadlines engulfed us...

Thankfully, its finally all over. Finally, I feel lighter... much lighter... and what better way to celebrate the liberation from all those stress with a night of Budak music? =)

10 months ago, I was just another blogger to them.. one Budak fan that appreciates their music...

10 months later, I am a friend, one that receives a wide smile whenever they see me...

It really means alot... =) I really hope that they will continue to create more songs of their own... for it really touches the depts of my heart.

Leap on!

-WASBE Photos-

Photos a little small.. but still, better than nothing I guess.. hahah..

-Be With YoU-

I often read the blogs of the friends around me.

Some of them profess their love for their partners constantly.

But I just can't help but wonder, if 'love' is a word to be expressed so freely...

Would it ever lose its meaning and significance when its repeatedly given?

I went to watch =Be With You= with Kiat yesterday and it was one of the few movies that I have watched where tears form unknowingly... It triggered many thoughts as well... thoughts of what love is truly all about. Whether love was defined in the movie..

I realised, perhaps there are still many more things that I need to discover before I can answer those questions...

Guess you all will be seeing more photos from now on... Hehe... Blur I may be but I seriously didn't notice the photo function in blogger... =P

Here are photos from Doris' Bday! =)

-Homemade Chocolate Fondue-

This is what I meant by homemade fondue... Don't you think it looks great in the dark as well?? =)

-Wasbe --- West Winds-

7 sessions to learn 3 songs, including a world premiere piece...

Spent about an average of 7 hours each week...

Plus the numerous hours of humming the pieces on my own...

1 day to fulfill this little dream of mine...

Yeah, I have done it alright... =)

"Who needs good friends?"

"Not when I've alreadi got A, B and C... that's enough.. "

I'm definitely not one that bothers about rank...

But I do mind when there are people who regards you as friends but treat as though you are not of existence...

To that special fren who said the above sentences... I was really happy... din know if I showed it but I am really touched by what you said... Thanks... =)

-gLoomY SkiEs-

A thick layer of dark clouds occupy the sky...

Its pretty dark although its not even 5pm...

I'm kinda bored actually but TV will soon occupy all my attention as my favourite TV show starts.

Just finished reading this love book called Seven Brides - Rose as recommended by Daph.. Considering that it has been quite awhile since I got so absorbed in a book, I must say I completed the book pretty fast.. started yesterday evening and finished it a few minutes ago. I foresee myself being enchanted by the remaining 6 brides over the next week or two..

Had my last Wasbe practice yesterday at Bukit Batok CC... Can't believe the performance is on TuE! I certainly hope that it will be just fine!

K... time for tv addiction... and probably time to set out the list of stuff to be done. Ta..

-3 LittLe MaiDs FroM SchooL aRe wE-

"3 Little maids from school are we, perk as a schoolgirl well can be, filled to the brim with a girlish glee, 3 Little maids from school" - Mikado

Was watching CSI yesterday and for one of the crimes, the characters were quoting lines from the Mikado.... In the show, not many people in the crime lab knew what Mikado was all about except for Grissom..

Memories came flying back as I recall those days... long and tedious practices... tight fitting kimonos... jitters before the performances...

Yeah, those good old days...

=Issue 1=

I came to realise yesterday how traumatising I can be to the people around me... I forgot that the genre of choral music doesn't interest everyone, especially when they are only hearing part of the song while the whole song is playing through my head as I practice my part. To those whom I've traumatise for quite awhile, esp after I started humming most of the time since Wasbe event is drawing near and me, being a musically handicap person, was in great need to memorise the parts of all 3 songs...

I am Sorry.

BUT, as much as I'm not angry about it, I did mind the various remarks that I received whenever I started humming... Feel free to ask me to stop humming, just leave out the remarks... And I will try not to hum anymore in front of you all..

=Issue 2=

Linking to the above issue, I think I'm seriously lacking in rest as well as time for myself. In normal days, I wouldn't have bothered about those remarks made at all. But due to insufficient rest, my temper has been on the raise and my patience have dipped quite abit. So, to those around me, this serves as a notice to all of you, my volcano's been erupting for the past few weeks and I'm in irritable mode. Hopefully, the one week break will do the trick and bring me back to normal mode.

=Issue 3=

Taking advice from 2 people who have graciously lent me their ears for me to rattle things off my chest, I'm going to rid myself of a duty that I've been doing for more than 1 year. First of all, I must specify that this was a duty that I didn't mind doing in the first place. But over the year, as the responses get more and more lethargic, I got more and more tired... Hence, I think its time for me to take a break and rid this responsibility.

If one hopes for the friendship to go a long way, both parties must continue to make the effort... otherwise it will never work out.

Until this happens, I shall stop this single effort of mine and focus elsewhere.
