Long time no See!

2007-06-04T16:36:00.000+08:00

Hi all, it's been a long time I last updated my blog. Been tired due to my preg and busy due to my teachings. I didn't even have time to catch up with frens who I didn't seee for months.

Now, I'm in my 21 weeks of my pregnancy. So happy, I'm almost half the journey, another 19 weeks to go, then the baby is out! Oh btw, my baby is boy boy, just in case I havn't shared with some of you. Estimated due date 19th oct 07, anybody birthday on that day too??? but may not be on time also, lets see how!

Went to the gynae today, did a thorough ultrasound check... so interesting, his feet is fully develop and look so cute...... moreover, he is so active when we doing the scan till the sonographer had a hard time capturing and measuring the different parts of his body.
He even hid his face, so poor daddy don't get to see his face today.
After all the measurement, the estimated weight of my baby is 354g.

For me, I'm so sad, I tot preg can eat more without feeling sinful but due to my back injury, I'm only allow 1 kg weight gain a month lei..... so from today, I"m on less carbo and salt and high fibre diet... sob sob.... there goes my chips, fries and many food.

We didn't get balloted for the new houe again..... 3rd time alreadi... so sad.. but we had applied for another one now... Let's hope God bless us with that one and moreover this one is cheaper too.....

Now only can submit and leave to God. Anyway, till now we are in no lack or shortage and things are in good hands of God. I'm thankful!

2nd Round of my wedidng on 18th 06

2007-01-07T22:57:00.000+08:00

After the busy church wedding, we went home for tea ceremony. Whether is fortunately or unfortunately, we only serve tea to the auntie generation. So all in all only have about 12 couples to serve. Mine was rather special, don't have to wear the traditional Kua and my mom has made a nice dress for me.... Indian sari clothes with mandarin collar.

This photo is taken with all my cousin nieces and nephews. Aren't they cute??

After this went to the hotel to get ready liao.....

After photos session at home, we went to check in to our hotel. Holiday Inn Parkview.

Good service and nice suite we had.
Some photos from the dinner. Our guestbook is a big sketchbook with poloraid photos of our guests and their signatures and greetings for us.

See my first march in and cut cake, we started at 8.20pm. The banquet manager did a good job in choreographing our march-in.

Then after the first march in and our 1st dish we went back to the suite to change to our 2nd suit and evening gown.

The most memorable thing is my fren sabotage, my darling perform a fantastic dance.

In the end, he was drunk after the wedding and I"m tipsy.

However, without the group of frens and co-ordinator, our wedding won't be so smooth.

Thank You all!

Most of all Thank God!

Darling was away from last wed and arrived this morning 9am. Without him around, really feel so sad and demoralised to do the cleaning so tiring. Felt emotional unstable too.. cos why am I doing all myself. But, after seeing him tis morning, all the sad feeling is gone...

The bulletin for the church service was designed by Angeline, my church sister, very talented in design..... I love the cover pic so much.... She sent for printing at our church printer but we have to do the cutting and tying ourselves....

REally want to Thank God tat he knew I need men power tonight and so happen two cousins came, Valerie and Verene. So both of them and my sis helped me to cut and tie the bulletin. After not long, Rongfa came, he came with lots and lots of delicious food which I can't eat... Nicholas and Emily also came. Jason too.... I'm so happy to see all of them.. Thank you all so much, truly and sincerely thank you for your great Help!!

We change the roast chicken to something more meaningful and healthy yeah!!

Overall, parents like them.. I choose my theme for the decor in the ballroom, I'm happy with it and we will be going down to the florist to choose the flowers for the ballroom. I hope all my guests will like it.. They have three themes, the wedding dinner my parents went said that the theme they choose was candlelight theme and it look plain and dim. So, we choose something different. So excited with the theme.

3rd Hen's nite

2006-09-24T22:20:00.000+08:00

This is our 3rd hen's nite. We were out celebrating one of our gal in the poly group aka godsis's hen's nite. Her wedding date will be on the 7th Oct 06, apparantly is quite a 'hot' date. Even cheryl's sis- in-law also on that day... So 4 of us can't attend her wedding. sigh... i'm sad tho... but wat to do cos of all the beliefs passed down from ancestors.

So her good fren found a club call Gotham at Clark Quay. That club has a very nice environment. The DJ is pretty good at sabotage too... he made the two brides-to- be in the club to do the Bar top dancing... hmm I stilll feel that jen danced better but too short.

Some pictures we took at the club:

This is a rather cute picture, cos Wayne was very facinated with the fishes in the fish tank. As the interior of the club has many fish tanks at every corners. Haahaa....

This is the attendance from our side. Four of us went to celebrate from her cos the rest were mostly unwell that day... sad... but is beyond our control.... Anyway, we had great fun... this pics were all taken using my handphone... I'm so happy it turned out nice.

This turned out be blurish...sad... but never mind tat the best I could do... This is the full attendance for the night. We toast to our bride to be..... But tat night she wasn't in her top form. Thus, concuss pretty soon.... and Wayne actually bought a Waterfall drink for her.... so... in the end we shared among ourselves.

Evidence of the bar tender preparing the waterfall.... hmmm.... also the evidence for me not to take a drink on my hen's night. yeah!
That night didn't end happily, the bride to be wasn't feeling well, she vomited lots and has bit of asthma. In the end, her husband came down to bring her back.....
Thank God that she didn't need to be warded to the hospital.

Cheers and Congratulation to your BIG DAY!!! She Gonna be a pretty Bride!

71 days to my wedding!

2006-09-07T23:20:00.000+08:00

Finally, my dip AB exam is over. Pray hard that can pass then I'm happy.

Yest had migraine.. sigh.. stayed at student's place to teach her and to accompany her. She was so happy haa inviting me to go over to acc her again... most prob will do tat during her holi. She as a cute hamster... bit fat... haaa

Also, went shopping with cousin and my niece, Denis to shop for her flower gal dress/ gown from kiddy palace. It was so funny, she tried about 20 number of dresses and she enjoyed it. Her poor mom who changed for her was so tired and my cousin made a very funny statement:"I feel that my daughter is getting married" We all laughed soo loudly. In the end we choose a white one for my dinner march in. Denis bought another pink one for another uncle's wedding.
Mission Complete! now left my church wedding flower girl and page boy

My 3 days HK Trip 15-17 Aug

2006-08-22T09:53:00.000+08:00

A very short, tiring but super enjoyable trip. I'm happy that Cat is willing to accompany for this trip and glad that she had showed enthusiaism which had spur me on too.... However, this trip i'm on tight budget so did not intend to shop much. But end up I also spend quite a bit which i don't want to say here....heehee.......Anyway, this trip is to meet Glenn....whom havn't see for a year plus...
Happy to see Cat enjoyed her first trip there. I really got to say she reallly really can shop.... wow.... I'm impressed.

We took Jetstar Asia, No service and tight seat.... wat to do... budget. When we reached the airport, we took A 21 bus to the Nathan Hotel.... it stop right in front of the hotel. Check in and put our bags, then out we go. We went to find lunch... seee wat the both of us eat for lunch.... the bowl of noodles is really huge... conclusion: can't finish :p

After lunch, we walked to the MTR station and went to causeway bay. Just there, we spend few hours there. We had desserts too.... Then we took another trip to central cos we are going to Victoria peak to see the night scene of HK...
However, the walk up to the tram station was rather tiring haha cos is an up hill....
Two women who don't have enuff sleep haha look very tiring.. this is another photo one of the day view of HK. We had our dinner there then we chiong to Ladies streeet.

We went to Ladies street at around 9pm and we shop till late. I think we reached the hotel around 12.30 midnight prob hahhaaa...

Bought quite a bit on the first day.

The next day, we woke up early cos Glenn and Cat''s cousing meeting us at our hotel... to go for breakfast.
Glenn arrived right after he left his luggage at his hotel and reached our place abt 9am. Didn't know cos i'm bathing, till I heard his voice.... I"m so so happy to hear his voice. So happy happy to see him, he looked so different....his hair grew longer and he is evenly tanned hahaha....but still the same, so handsome.. hahah but with a boy boy look....
However, poor him suffered from jet lag. So he look rather tired. We went for breakfast, yummy french toast with peanut butter. Waited for him check in and bathed. Then we decided to find a studio to play a piece together... hahah we did a stupid thing we walked to tsim sha tsui and mongkok and end up we found one at a piano shop next to his hotel at Prince Edward.
The jamming session is ok only cos with a out of tune piano and out of shape cello haha...

However, Glenn wore a rather loud yellow t-shirt with Nagasaki name on it.... which has attracted many stares hahah... worst he speak with his English accent and mixture of both english and chinese... he keep asking me why ppl keep staring at him.
One funny incident again, same as the last time, Glenn being nice he helped me the shopping bag. So we attend to this shop call Wanko. As usual, we chat and laugh. We choose a lacy, see through top. I went to change and came out from the dressing room to show him la.... idiot him keep critising me wearing the wrong color bra hahah... The salesgirl then ask him where we from? are we a couple? I was laughing in the dressing room. In the end bought a black dress that he said tat is very nice... he really sound like a 'boyfren' giving me good opinion. Thank you!
Darling like that dress too....
This incident remind me of the one when we went shopping for his trench coat....
At night after dinner we went to a tea house for tea. When we stepped in, we saw this gay couple who were cute cute... They also stared at him, glancing him up and down so scary....Then when they saw me behind, then they sian liao haha.... I"m so sorry to block out his lady luck....
We laugh again la..... They must have confused hahah..

Anway, minyu, i'm planning next year Aug to go for a longer trip so can spend more days with him. David will be going if he has leave or Cat will go with me.. join me... we can go shopping together.... This time must be smart, avoid his jet lagging period... i miss the bubbly Boi even tho now is Great! Boi! Give yourself more confidence.. you played well on a lousy french cello, i believe with the good one you will shine...no bad dreams...I want to see your new look if can put your pic on your blog... hope to see you online soon......... miss miss miss... can't bear to leave HK tat day... On thurs, he woke up early n came to join us for breakfast before sending us to the bus stop....photos taken at the tea cafe... look at the food too look so yummy.

In the morning, he accompanied me to see doc first cos been sick since sun with fever, flu and sore throat. Sigh I hate to be sick... then lunch. When we reached home I'm still having bad headache but no choice got to start painting. We start with the white base coat and two coats of my new color lilac....Nice color. We start at noon we finish 2 and half wall by 4pm and dad help to complete the half wall cos I went for piano lesson.. No joke to refurnish the room esp painting.
Wat a work out.....hands and legs aching all over esp after piano lesson, both hands couldn't move further. But, there are so many cleaning up the room exchanging some of the furniture with my sis so that I can have more rooms for the bedroom as David gonna moved in soon, the amount of books alreadi not enough place and he had lots and lots of CDs which i'm going to faint when he moved in.
We continued after dinner he finished painting the window wall and set up tv set and pc. Now my room looked so cleaned and pretty haha... don't know can maintained till wedding day. Still have about 100 days more.... so many things not done.

Today Dad continue the painting with his room and followed by living room. I helped dad with his bedroom painting. I"m so happy to say I did a good job!!

Yay! I love the new look of my bedroom.

Sat 15 Jul- 10th Anniversary

2006-07-21T00:11:00.000+08:00

Last Sat was an important date to mark in memory and calendar. 10 of us once again come back together, no matter how busy we are, once again full attendance to celebrate our 10th Year Anniversary.... I was very excited for the gathering.
Thank God, all turned out well.

That day was a tiring day for me cos taught the whole day till 5.30pm, ended slightly late cos student was late. So bit rushed. Dar came back from basketball, took shower then fetch elmo, cheryl and me to Chijmes. So, we are earliest to reach hahaa...

Followed by WAyne, Jen, Ann, Guizhu then the last three who took a ride from Ryan... Ryan got his driving license and he bought a colt sports..... so happy for him and excited, next time must take a ride from him.....

We had dinner at hog's breathe.. a nice western restaurant from Australia... famous for their steak. The food was delicious, I had Salmon, lots of omega 3? We chit chat lots and talked about old times and how much we change.... ya man... lots of changes....

After dinner, Cheyl bought a cake so we celebrated Ann's birthday and 10th Anni. hahaha one cake kills two 'birds'... We sang loudly as usual, then later we found out two more tables also have birthday celebration and we are proud that we sang the best hahaha competition...

After this, we gave Ann's her birthday prez, elmo and me shared a coffeemaker set for her birthday. I received many prez for the 10th Anni, I had a nice white color watch from Jen and Wayne but too loose need alteration, a charm like thing from Ann, she made it herself, tat's so thoughtful. A t-shirt from Sharon which I doubt I can fit in..hee.. I bought prez for all too... I shop for two evenings and just couldn't decide wat to give, initially precious moments la, kalm la, then Dar enlighten me hahaha.... prints t-shirts.

So based on that which gave me inspiration, so I start to flip back the 7 albums that we 10 of us took in our poly days till the lately one......know wat, only about 3 occassion we have full attendance, the earlier ones too ugly la.... So I choose one that we took outside the auditorium cos it is very well taken and the backgrd look as tho we took it in the studio. It was a rather cooling day cos most of us wore our windbreaker. That day Wayne said this is one of our best photo where we already very good at posing in front of camera. So i printed tat pic onto a bear size t-shirt. Wanted to get a bear too to wear them but the t-shirt has cost a bomb alreadi can't afford.....so dear all, you have to search your own bear.
Immediatly, Wayne suggested signing on the t-shirt, so all of us like big star autographing our names on the t-shirt. I'm really happy that they loved the prez, ryan said will put in his car, let hope I see tat...

Then we conclude our night at One NIte Stand with our song 'That thing you do' . Really a very good song and memorable one to end our night........lets hope we can still hear that after 10 years...

I think due to the live band music, I suffered from bad headached the next day.......sigh..

Happy 10th Year Anniversary!!

2006-07-03T22:04:00.000+08:00

Saturday 1st July 2006 is an important date for both SF and YF. It's our 3rd year anniversary and thanksgiving service and also for the first time both fellowship committee members gonna have our 1st inaugaration. It is definitely a memorable moment for 11 of us.
For us YF, we had jason, cat, nicholas, david and me. We have been working as a team for 3 year and one more year we gonna pass it on to the younger batch.

That day we reached early at 2.30pm even tho the service start at 4pm. I order a choc fudge cake from Emicake, (www.emicake.com.sg) the forever favourite of mine and their durian cake is the best! Then other church aunti and sisters prepare port luck for all of us and our main food provider is Aunt Shou zhu. She is really a good cook, she did chicken wings and laksa for us with the ingredient all separated for us to help ourselves, and Grace's mom has prepare the popiah cup again i like tat lots too!!! There were so many good food which had disappeared before i had the chance to get it.

The service went well, everyone did our parts and our presentation from both fellowship were good. We sang well and the SF singing were touching. Good job and Thank God for all these! I'm happy tat church sis told me that I played well. Thank God! And jason and wanting prepare the photos were very funny, I heard so many chuckling and laughters during the viewing of the photos. The sermon was very lively, first time see Pastor teo so lively and a bit not prepare like tat but he was like a loving father tat day.

The makan time also was good, everyone chit chat and fellowship with everyone. I'm also very happy that everyone love the cake i ordered and few sisters packed home thus, no cake leftover which is good! All gave me good compliments of the cake, this make me feel consolled.

After the service, few of use went to budget terminal for tea, we ad another round of good chats and laughter. Fun and we had free gifts.

Anyway, Praise and Thank God for the day!

Church retreat at Awana Genting

2006-06-28T00:22:00.000+08:00

AFter so many years, finally i can attend my church retreat this year. Went to Genting highlands at Awana resort. This resort is build at the mid way toward the Genting highlands.
This is one of the furthest place church had arranged. Good place for retreat even tho many ppl feel uncomfortable with the height and humidity of when traveling up the mountain.
But the weather there is good very cooling and dry.
However, many ppl fall sick before the camp and they still are after camp.

We depart on the 19 june and came back on 22 june. When we reached there in the evening, we had tea and briefing then went into our hotel room. This time thank God that i shared room with Sis Angeline. Not much of a prob and we get along well. The weirdest thing about this hotel is all the room don't have aircon, only fan and we had to open all the window and balcony door. hahaha....someting about this, on wed night, during dinner the weather changed and it start pouring heavily witih strong winds. For the first time for many ppl, we have to rush back to our room to close the windows ahhhhaha...irony. Thank God my room is saved. Not affected. Sis Wanting's dont' look good, the carpet and curtain are soaked.

We had free complimentary ticket to take cable cars up to Genting highlands. Been almost 20 years i went there. Of course, lots and lots of changes. Now i know why students and nieces love tat place. Angeline and me bought the day pass for the indoor theme park. Oh yes, thanks to church bro and sis who fetch us to the cable car station. without them, i think we won't have time to enjoy. For the first time, i realise Bro solomon scare of height, he looked funny.

Did catch up with an old fren and know few of his buddies. Fun peeps.
On thurs, we checked out after breakfast. It was a long journey home..... as pastor said one day up and one day down. Two days camps. sigh.... so short. We were delayed at the woodlands checkpoint, cos xiao min and another sis got held up at the queue. The whole bus was so worry. But i think most stress is still uncle norman and bro jimmy. This journy back i could sleep most of the time which is good.

The sermon for this camp was good esp the church history, pastor teo no. 3 had fanatastic pictures to keep the audience awake.....

Overall, had enjoyed except for the food. cos i have bad stomach whenever i ate the hotel buffet. So, on the 2nd night, Angelien and me went for Korean food. The Best dish of the stay.
Next year, the camp gonna moved back to Eden hotel in JB.

Photos below:
This picture is taken at the entrance of the cable car station.

Photos Selections!

2006-06-05T10:15:00.000+08:00

Hei, frens and cousins, pls leave some ideas in my comments for my weddings!!
Greatly appreciated!

Went to see the photos from our photoshoot on 2 june 206. It was 'horrible' hahaa.. cos we took more than 300 pieces... or maybe close.
This time I smart I brought Sister Angeline with me, she is a designer and very sensitive to pics and design. And most impt bargaining hahah....

We sat down and start to put the photos on a big tables spreading the photos out like card games so will have a better view. We sort by the different gowns and backgrounds.
We filtered at 3 times to zoom down to 65 pages. That had took us 1 and half hour.
Then we have to choose 30 pieces for small album, 8 for giving out to frens and relatives and 1 for table top.

We forgo the portrait photos so we got 4 extra photos to go into the album. Then like other couples, we couldn't escape the top up money for the album. Fine, we upgraded our album to magazine ones can have 65 photos excluding the cover and bottom page.

After negotiation we need to top up $1530. Pay by two instalments. Pheww!! no need to be debt...
So we can view the designed photos on 22 jul and collect in sept if nothing goes wrong...

The whole process was tiring. Thank God for Mosses. He had been a great great help. These photos will good and thanks for his camera. Without him, I think we will be more worn out. I suffered from migraine the next day. However, when I think back to the whole process it was funny!!!

2006-04-05T22:52:00.000+08:00

This week had a good new for my darling, he got a new job which will get a higher pay but totally different lndustry. And from this, I realise that my darling had actually tot of changing job alreadi and his ultimate intention is to leave the current line. hmmm...bad of me not realising that. But can't blame me, heehee, he don't want to say. But anyway, we talked and discussed, he tendered resignation on tues (4 april). Today, his boss called him, Darling said he is a very fierce boss, so been praying that he wont' make things difficult for him.. God answered my prayer, he let him resign easily and still welcome him back in future. phew... Amen!

So, this new job drew a higher salary, more stable in long term and finally we gonna buy a car for ourselves.... so happy, this time God answer my prayer too...hahaha...this job will provide quite a good car allowance and so Darling can buy a car.. hmmm I believe tat the chances of me conceiving after marriage may be there. Cos I prayed that God will provide us with a car after we want to start a family heehee...........:-)

Today, was a happy day for me. Reason is I-ning (my dear church sis) came to my school to watch our lunch concert. Today theme of the concert is spiritual hymns concert. The whole music department present about 8-9 pieces of spirituals. I performed in 2 of them, the all female ones a bit out of tunes but I-ning said she had enjoyed the concert and preferred the chamber choir singing, she even praised Albert interpretation of the spirituals is good. hmm.. i didn't realiase tat but I like to see him sing more.

Then brought I-ning to view our school a bit and brought her to a practice studio and I played one of my piece to her. She taught and suggested few things to me.... she is good, hmmm I liked her teaching.. maybe should try to ask her teached me ahaha... she gonna freak off again.
Then she stayed for my performance in performance class, and she said was ok but i looked as tho i can't wait to leave the stage.... HAHAHA... i didn't realised tat but I do have this prob when i played in front of ppl. Still trying hard to curb that....

Sigh.. tml PS, kinda of worry la... go to her lesson is like performance class...

But I praised God for all the Good and Bad things, He has his arrangment and his will for us!

Never our cup of tea for V - day cos everywhere will be queues and expensive and moreover that day my sis and Andy flew back from Taiwan so went to pick them up from the airport, came home and looked through the stuff they brought from Taiwan. They have enjoyed the trip very much and ate lots. Good!

Had lesson with ms ching today, kinda of passable, she is happy in a way of wat i played but is definitely not good enuff so i'm need buck up more more more!!!

Went to a pipe organ solo recital today, was educational and funny and the overall perf was good, he played well with his legs and hands busy moving at the same time. I"m so impressed. Now, we have a chance to take up organ lesson for 7 weeks I realised that it is not easy to play a simple organ piece cos it needs lots of co-ordinations. when my legs moved my left hand moved too hahahaha.... which is not necessary.

Had dinner and too full to move so came to do some blog surfing since hasn't do thsi for so long.

Oh! thos we don't celebrate V-day but I got a new precious moment few days before V -day new member to my collection. Yest, darling bought me a precious moment ezlink card too. Can't wait to collect my membership card and another new figurine.

Ann's Hen's Nite at 1 Nite Stand

2006-02-11T13:52:00.001+08:00

Friday was a bad day (10 feb) cos woke up with migraine and menses cramp, thus was feeling bad and weak. Thank God I have a loving mom, she had to massage my back in order for me to move and walk to the toilet. Her hands must be real ache. Then we went for breakfast at Han's before going to school for Choir.

Choir was fun yest, we sang our usual repertoire then we started to sight - sing some english romantic songs by parry, elgar, william, stanford. The songs are nice and the choir can sing even better after polishing, the music will definitely touch the hearts of the listeners. Then Dr Goh came in and sabotage his two students to sing and dance korean songs. They sang well but dance really not easy and alot of jokes and laughter roared in the classroom.

As, not feeling, so darling fetch me home from school, thank you! Then quickly take a nap and recovered slightly. Taught a student and went out. Then Darling picked me up from orchard to go to church as I'm playing for prayer meeting. Then from church he fetch me to 1 nite stand at clarke quay to celebrate Ann's Hen's nite.

When sharon and I reached, the rest were there, sad that attendance was not full. But nvm, we had great time, we had a table of our own. Jenny and guay started the dance floor rolliing. They were good dancers man, I really can't do it but I did dance at the end of the music were fantastic. I have never beeen to a club that had such good music consistantly from both DJ and live band. The male singer can sing, plays the guitar and the percussion.
Oh and Guay told the male singer that's is Ann's hen nite, thus, the singer invited Ann onto the stage and tried to do a strip dance but cannot make it hahah.. cos is just a joke and his figure not good.

The atmosphere there was fantastic, majority were caucasians and they were a group of ppl that can really dance and open themselves up, few japs too and of course singaporean. Saw so so so many cute and handsome guys (esp the caucasians) and alots of pretty girls. As Sharon and me were seating down and chatting most of the time, we observed that the girls there had good figures and firm and sexy butt!!! Even female will take extra look.

Then there's a cute guy sat at our table, manage to chat a bit but he left after he found his frens haha. Anyway, thats an interlude.

Ok, after midnight, most of them stop dancing and few of us wanted to leave and our opend liqour still left a bit so as usual i'll be the one to distribute and finish it. hahahah.... 4 of us cheered with the bride and finally we finished the drink and the bride- to- be also concuss and she felt sleepy and high and nauseous. So, we finish at 2am.... Surprising, I'm rather sober after all the mixtures haha... Elmo kinda of worry how to make me drunk on my hen's nite! haa work hard.

Fetch Elmo home so reached home about 2 plus as my gastric not very good cos drank few shots and other alcohol so darling cooked supper. Felt better, blew dry my hair and went to bed....
Now, i'm so tired, tonight still go wedding dinner.

Actual Day of my Birthday

2006-01-18T22:12:00.000+08:00

This year gonna be the most memorable one.

Darling said we will go for a simple dinner and I"m fine since we had budget constraint in a way.
We met at citylink mall cos I wanted to eat at sake dining. Nice ambience tho small but the food is a bit different from the other sake sushi.

While waiting I went into Lee Hwa Jewellery, don't blame me, the black pearl lure me in.... heehee... Saw two pairs of wedding band that I really kind of like cos been looking around and nothing attracts me.

The next thing I know, Darling walked into Lee Hwa with a big bag of precious moments plastic bag and a big bouquet of flowers. I'm shocked, surprised. It's been so long (3 years) he bought me flowers. And as usual from our regular florist. From her, I'll have surprised each time. Again, I had imported flowers, beautiful, special and nice fragrant. Huge..... and heavy but worth it don't care about weight it's the tots tat counts.

After dinner, I wanted to show him the solitaire diamond that I saw the other time and finally the sales girl found wat I wanted and to my surprise he bought!!!!!

Then we went home. I open the precious moments gifts and the presents were so cute cute cute.... unresistable.... is a set of precious moments figurine and he also applied the membership card for me... YEAH! this means I can buy more at cheaper price, he knew me so well....I longed that for so long, my neck stretch like giraffe. Been a long time ago, I told him about it.. and he actually remember or just happen to strike the jack pot?? anyway, cool darling!

The finale item for the evening, He Proposed with the ring!!! I'll spare the details cos was unromantic but very sincere.

And Yes! a good birthday this year to mark my last singlehood birthday! ;-p

2005-12-23T11:24:00.000+08:00

It has been a long long long time I updated my blog. hmm... lets recap what happen the last few weeks. REally lazy to update.

Oh.... I have been hooked to drama serials for few weeks. REally nice ones. Taiwan will be 'devil beside me' and korean has 'A beautiul life' and 'Sassy girl, chun-hyang' Wow really tired catch them till 3 am and suffered from migraine..... ohoh then watch 'jiang wei zi lian' again. See I'm crazy on drama. Just felt that in real life we will not be able to experience the passionate and romantic and warm and touching kinda of love relationship so by watching, we will be able to dream of having such love lor hahaha.... you can said that i'm crazy but its true, Elmo (married) agreed with me, she is crazy over full house. We were saying that married men had lost all the touch of being romantic. sigh.......... I hope mine won't be like tat in future, or else I don't know wat I'll do.

okok.... oh went out with I-ning on monday for lunch and drink. Its ours once/ twice a year kinda of meet up. We had fun and chats alots and laugh alot too.... And we realised we have the same interest hahaha... to view big houses..... she fetch me around bornworth road (spelling not sure) to see the nice and beautiful houses.....
On the same day, met up with mom and angeline to buy materials to make cape and scarf for the childrens in children's choir.

Had christmas dinner with poly frens, had good laughs too, weihua so man tat day, hahah he finally show his manliness in front of us and scolded sharon. hahaha and the gals were all chatting about wedding plans and oh baby plans..... So I have decided to push back my baby plan for a year since everyone is rushing for one in 2007. I shall not join the fun or else in future all our children will be of the same age. Unless God bless me with one, then I would not reject.
Elmo has to work hard, cos she want to be the first for everything, we don't mind, but you two have to work harder....

Church choir sang last nite in our mother church, Zion church, we sang two hymns and we sang well, even Pastor Tang gave a thumb up.
Tomorrow got carolling, and sun another round of singing and I better start practising the children's choir songs too.........

Tata!

Last day in Bali

2005-12-02T12:57:00.000+08:00

After 3 days of fun, on the last day we were very laid back. Had breakfast, went back to our room and catch the tv show. It was showing the 101 craziest moment of the hollywood star on MTV channel. It was damn funny.

Then we check out at 1.30pm and decided to go shopping before going back as we still have alex present havn't buy yet.
After an hour, we decided to have lunch at Dulang Restaurant. Good food and price and quality.

Then continue walking, to the beach and shops. manage to buy few stuffs and a dress for myself. The new dress will be my new year dress for next year.

The transfer fetch us from the hoetl at 6pm and we check in at the airport 6.45pm.
Then we went in to shop in the airport. We agree that they have a big airport.

On the plane, I watch the movie 'Drink, Drank, Drunk', Darling watched '40 yr old virgin'
Both show were funny, two of us were giggling and laughing like mad on board. So pai sei.
It was a good that i finished the show. Darling couldn't he left 5 mins more to go.

HOme We Come!

Bali Trip - Day 3

2005-11-30T00:24:00.000+08:00

Day 3 was a R & R day. We woke up later and went for the assumptious breakfast. Then we walked to the Waterbom Park to check out that place. We wanted to play but the locker and towel deposit are so high and we are running out of cash by then already so we went to the beach.

The weather was good, so we took a slow walked along the beach and to enjoy the breeze.

Then we went back to our resort and went to the lazy pool to relax and suntan.
Then after enough of resting we went for a swim till noon.

After the swim and a nice bath, I went to braid my hair. Never did that before but over there is so common cos is a skill for the indonesian to earn a living. The tourists there from age of 3 to 50 odd, as long as they have long hair they braid their hair and it look good in those colorful beads. So, out of curiosities, I did that two, two gals did for me and took 1 hour to complete. Phew! I almost died of boredom.

After that we had our afternoon tea at the cafe in the resort and went for our spa appointment.
The staff from the the spa place came over to fetch us and after our payment and selection of fragant we were brought into a room to get change and to enjoy the massage.
They put many stuff like scrub, polish, mud and we also had steam bath, jacuzine and flower aroma bath. We smell so good after that.

Then we ask the staff to fetch us to medas wurung restaurant for dinner. This place is a very popular place at all times and the price of the food is cheap and both locals and foreigners will patronise this place.

After dinner, we walked around and we decided to go for a drink and alcohol is dirt cheap anyway we went to a interesting restaurant called Bubba Gump Co. Havn't heard of this in overseas yet but I believe there is. A very interesting restaurant and the theme is based on the movie called the Forrest Gump. We saw a dessert with nice name Alabama Mud Pie, so we ordered and when the waiter served the food, we almost rolled down our chairs cos the serving is huge and we just had dinner. see the photo you know wat I meant. Compare the height of the mud pie to the beer bottle.

Anyway, we managed to finish after an hour. The staff in the restaurant were super friendly and they have lot of rapport with the customer. They will do magic tricks and ask IQ questions for the customers.

The waiter as David two questions from the Forrest Gump movie to test if we are observance, Guys can try to answer:
1. What is the jersey no. that Forrest Gump wear in the movie?
2. What is the name of lieutenant Dan's wife? Not a caucasian.

Try to answer bah....

Then we went back to our resort to pack our luggages...

Bali Trip Day 2

2005-11-30T00:09:00.000+08:00

We woke up early for day 2 cos we are going for the day tour. Initially, the travel agent in singapore gave us a half day tour but we felt that since we were already day might as well top up the money and go for a full day tour instead. So we top up about Rp 700,000.

We had a very delicious breakfast provided by the resort. Really YUMMY! Esp the omelette I ate that for all 4 days hahaha....

Then first stop was to watch the Balinese Barong Dance. This is one of the dance we had learn with Mr Manhut in our previous module I think. And this is one of their traditional dance between good and evil.
Then we went up to the south I think to see the volcano and this volcano is still alive may erupt anytime too..... very majestic but peaceful and calm.....

Then we went to many places too like coffee/ spice plantation, batik making place, silver good production place, wood carvings, paintings and padi fields.
I bought something from all the places we went except silver goods one and painting. I spent the most at Batik place cos the materials were so beautiful that I just can't resist so bought 3 materials, one for myself, darling's granny and my mom.
We bought coffee for my dad, woodcarvings for either my dad or darling's grandpa.
We also bought t-shirt for our future brother in law and darling's sis.

Then before going for our seafood dinner at Jimbaran beach and to watch sunset.
The guide brought us to the spa he introduced.

The beach was very beautiful and the sunset was even better. I have never see such a nice sunset and so romantic.

The food was not bad even though we have many companion - housefly, dogs and flies.

After the dinner, we decided to shop at kuta square again. And we decided to walk into lanes that we havn't walked before and the consequence is we lost our way. So by the time we reached the resort it was close to 11pm and my legs are so numb and cramp and simply can't move. I guess probably more than 2.4 km definitely.

Had a quick bath and fall right into bed and ZZZZzzzz...........

Bali Trip 25 Nov - 28 Nov 2005

2005-11-29T23:59:00.000+08:00

This is our third short trip together after so long. 1st was Gold Coast, 2nd KL and now Bali.
Really enjoyed our 4 days trip and the relaxation that we can never enjoyed in Singapore.

First day, we reached at 12 plus, the flight was not good due to the bad weather, there's bad turbulence and the air stewardess don't seem to be able to move much so end up we dont' have our headside and the meal was in a rush. Thank God that we reached there safely.

It's a 5mins drive to our resort. The resort looked very nice and the lobby was huge. The security was very stringent too. Have to change another transport from the main door to the lobby entrance. The local agent personnel his name is Arim. He was very efficient, he helped us to do the check in.

The amazing thing is we had a big room hahaha.... we had a kid suite. So our room has a smaller bedroom for two kids and a playstation and tv. The bed was a king side bed but not comfortable at all suffered for 3 nights. The back door lead us to the back lane of the block.

After settling down, we decided to familiarise with the place around the area so we started to walk and walk. Look out wat's there to shop later. We stopped at discovery shopping mall, really huge and not completed. The backdoor of the mall will lead us to the kuta beach.
Then we walked and ended up at kuta square. There are so many surfers shop.... and after conversion seem to be cheaper still and also their market type of shop where bargain takes place.

Just the first day, we spent lots didn't want to know how much anyway. Then we reached the hotel at 6pm plus after walking to and fro.... is really no joke. It more then wat I jogged and walked in singapore in a day. A very good workout.

We ended our day at the Irish pub/ restaurant in our resort. Nice and big portion. Best that Citibank has 20% disc. So happy, our three course meals for both is only about $20++

Good nite!

Enjoyable Day

2005-11-25T08:09:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a enjoyable day for me.
Went for a early morning jog. Then went out to teach and then meet my dear church sister angeline for shopping.
Purpose of the trip is to help her distress as she had suffered last few days at work. Another purpose is to bring her to the dreamweaver shop in milenia walk to see some of the stuff they sell for weddings. We are there for inspiration 'Oomm'
We met up for lunch at sake dining at city link, I tried a hot pot, so malu, as it was under the aircon my hotpot just couldn't coook the meet wih the sizzling sound. Then I realised is the positioning of the hotpot thus after shifting it away, I heard it sizzlessss.........

Then after the shopping, we also went to Tea Room for tea. Hei, they have the new product is call melt cake. With different tropical flavours.
Then went back to my beautician for hmmm waxing session and met up with David's cousin and cousin wife who came back from US. So long didn't see them and they still look good. His cousin's wife is pregnant in her 5th month. She look so pretty..
They stayed in southern california and 2007 april they will come back to singapore for stay for 1 year then they will leave for canada for good as they got their PR there alreadi. So, very very nice of them to invite us over to california before they return to Singapore..... So Darling, shall we go for honeymoon at california to stay over at their place, new york near Jessica's place (fren married over), florida your auntie's place then miami to Evelyn's place (ex-manager) .....the idea sound great!!!! HAHAHAAH!!! our pocket hole will huge...Let's see how, I want to visit Glenn too! But tat can wait right?????

Heard Darling discuss about his plan to work in Australia with his cousin. He seem very interested and his cousin said that it seem alright. Darling's mom raised both hands and legs to support us. So, Pray and submit to God that we can do that in near future like 2007/8.

Anyway nice day!

Church BBQ 2/11

2005-11-04T01:14:00.000+08:00

YF had organised BBQ for both SF and YF. Happy that the attendance was good.
Many ppl came and few parents also supported by coming.

The SF had enjoyed themselves cos few turned into 'lobsters' and so tired. Can see that they played to their fullest...

The food was plenty... thank God for his providence. And thank God for two miraculous thing that happen:
1. Cat and I were in Lingli's car, when we reached, most of the car parks were full. But when we finally come to the car park nearer to the pit. We were stucked in the queue and was rather hopeless to find a space cos uncle Norman also couldn't find one. So, Cat and I left the car to bring the food to them first while Lingli looked for parking. Then she said that God seem to blind everyone cos there is parking lot right in front but nobody park. So she got it.
It happened to DAvid too.

2. The weather was good and the wind was strong.. It was so good that we have difficulties to light the lighter BUT we have no problem starting the fire place. The wind helped us and we save our energy to fan the fire.... And we started the fire within half an hour......and the whole fire place was heated up.

Thank GOD!!

Oh then we had this diamond debate between men and women.......Sigh...... Men hearts are hard then stones..... anyway is a no conclusion debate just for fun. So funny quite few of them actually joined in.

Diamonds are always Women BEST friend!! hmph! too bad guys.

Then we saw lightning and thunder so we decided to call off the day. Sayonara!

Hope to have anotheer one soon la...
OHOH grace your oreao cheesecake is good good good!! but sad is it melted alreadi.... the curry is also fantastic.... maybe can learn from your ma ma....or take receip from her.

Sigh!

2005-11-04T00:59:00.000+08:00

Don't know why, just feel moody nowadays. Just blues....maybe I think too much and got myself too upset.

Nvm. Christians have to rejoice in God at all times. We shall not be affected by worldy matter too much.

Had lesson today, ms ching preach a short sermon to me to improve in my playing and to be a testimony of God. Don't know if it is God's will, today Youth Fellowship, Pr Susan also preach the similar stuff that ms ching said in the afternoon. But hers is in details cos she has an hour while ms ching use about half an hour. This really force me to seat down to think about my playing and my attitude towards my own playing and to play better.

Nowadays, I find it difficult to communicate with ppl basically frens. I just find tat I run out of words or else too tired to think of words to communicate. Don't know if this it the pre-exam syndrome. Hopefully it is just temporary, if continues that I don't know wat I'll become.
So this few weeks if said wrong things pls do not be offended.

Anyway, all the best for my exams!!

Chicester Psalms Memories

2005-11-01T16:13:00.000+08:00

This morning at 5 am I received a call from UK.... still in my dreams heard my phone rang. Thought I'm late for school or something. Answered and heard a voice sounded so happy on the other line. Then got a shock, is him..... so sweet of you to call me... from far away.

Even happier when he told me that he just played Chicester Psalms with a lousy orchestra right?? Then his fellow cellist ask him how come he play so well. Then sigh... forever so naughty gave the answer. ( can't remember the exact words) but its rather him. Something like 'like tat lor' right? Why can't you just tell ppl you play before??? hahaha

Anyway, tat gave me a good laught that I woke up already la....then he reminded me the fast movement upbeat rhythm that he played and we sang to the last time... hei, kept me awake for at least an hour thinking back to the last performance in school and also the section he played the solo part with the soloist. Felt so much like yest.

Then the drinking session after concert. Times really flies, coming to a year alreadi.. just a year apart and he played the same piece in two different countries that is so far away.....oh, how about the chorus? which is better?? hahahaha

Must really cherish wat we have now....

Sorry havn't had time to visit his granny, will try to do that after exam...

For you: 'you MUST try to fly back for my wedding no matter wat!!!!'

Or btw, did you record any of your performance lately? send me the track okok? want to hear your new cello sound.

Listening to Beethoven string quartet now, cos need to use it for my piece. Any particulart string quartet by Beethoven is super good? anyone?

Fri, did a facial, the most expensive one till now. Is $89 - include facial, neck and eye treatment. Then beautician said my skin got lots of problems so can't finish in the usual duration, she will take about 2 hours. So no choice, had to ask Cat to the rescue, Thank God, she was free to help me play for the prayer meeting. Thank you gal. I recommend this facial service not bad now got promo only $49 and give a free product. Anyway, my total bill for that night was $629.40.
Faintzzzz..........

Sat, taught two students and went to meet jessica and her sis and her mom's fren. My parents followed too. We went to Tanjong Pagar Road to find wedding gowns for us.
Went to few but now the most tempting one is Mr n Ms wedding Club. They gave me rather good price. But I have old package with another bridal shop which I had placed $500 deposit. Don't know how... Got to make appointment to compare price again.

Updates!

2005-09-26T23:08:00.001+08:00

It's been a long while I updated my blog. Sorry really too busy, now also can't seem to track back much stuff. So, I"ll briefly mention few events will do to keep a record.

First, I must say I have seriously idolised Rain. He is so so cute. Even my auntie is crazy over the show full house too. Oki, I finally bought the DVD. And know wat I finished the 22 episode in 2 days and 1 nite. And I have watch almost 3 times alreadi. Dead..... keep watching..... OH not only me even my parents are crazy over this show. Yes! a Good Show indeed.
Oh found this website that can read on korean pop news http://www.kpopmusic.com/news.shtml
he is so cute, he is more handsome than edison and stuff.
HK have to stand aside seriously for a while
He gonna hit US too but not as hurricane of course....

2ndly, we celebrated RF's birthday on last fri 23 sept 2005. Was a good one. Everyone had fun I guess. but the eating rounds is amazing. We had 3 rounds of food and drinks. Really eat till we drop. 1st - changing appetite in Marina square, 2nd - esplanade via mar rest, 3rd - makansutra place beside esplanade. Then Darling sent everyone home. Tired but glad that everyone reached home safely. Lucky Darling trained in JB to drive long hours and to drive frens home even they stayed far. I remember he sent fren home after our ya char session in 2 am all the way back to don't know where I think permas...it took us so long that I fell asleep.
So, dear sis Cat, don't feel bad, most impt, you reached home safely.

3rdly, Had a lousy lesson with ms ching cos didn't pract properly not in a mood lei, could be one of my mood swings or don't feel like pract week.

4thly, we have to change our wedding dates to 16 Dec, why?? cos David's bro doing his Os next year so we got to postpone so he can enjoy in participating after his exam. He cannot do badly, cos he is the youngest and not stupid. He is smart tho or else how can he skip a grade in pri school? hahah... heard was common, don't know lei... nvm....

lastly, hotel for my wedding banquet. So sian, never tot will be so difficult. But, it is.
Pray and submit to God, may He leads us.

Another week has passed. Times flies.....

Grin! Full House ;-\

2005-09-19T23:40:00.000+08:00

I have fall in love with 'Him', a korean star from a show I happen to watch on sun. Tat's Rain. Rain Rain Rain..... he is so charming. He starred with song hye kyo in Full House. Thinking of buying the dvd or vcd. See how. maybe should buy his cds too hahaha... I'm mad. I can't stop thinking of him .... die.... The sound track ran out of stock online and he became very popular in taiwan and HK. Then he was haunted by HK prapazzi at his Korean house.
Poor thing.

These are the photos from the drama. Aren't they compatibles and isn't he cute and charming??

Happy!

2005-09-15T01:11:00.000+08:00

Today was a rather happy day but really a SLEEPY day for me
Don't know why I just felt very tired for the past two days.
Thus needless to say, kept falling asleep in lecture and lunch concert.
Even worst today counterpoint test, I did it half asleep, I just can't keep awake.

Had a group lesson with dennis lee before he caught a flight back to UK with his wife. He is such a nice guy, so nice and friendly and energetic. His lesson is so enjoyable but not too long cos can be rather tired. Today was from 2-6pm. Can't tahan man....

My was the last 3. Played the Brahms for him, he said I played well and I have played most of the stuff is needed in the score. hahaha Thanks to Ms Ching of her strictness in details. So happy. The funniest thing was I was trying my best to put emotion to the music but still not totally and fumbled a bit. And, he actually said he can feel the out of love and the dishearten of love emotion of Brahms when he wrote this piece. HAHAHA I didn't even realise but thank to him he helped me to see few things too.
Weird, today I spoke and had a conversation with Mrs phua hahaha... weird. But since she initiated the conversation so don't show that I'm too cool so chat with her. She complimented that teresa had slimmed down and me too which i don't totally agree cos mine weight is fluctuating. But I told her my reason for slimming down too. The smile for this was rather sincere. Ask her about her Hk trip, she said was good. OHOH! she said that Dennis couple stayed in London. Glenn do you know? or heard of? or any performance by them in UK??

Just found out that Valerie had flew to UK Uni of Wales for her Master Program. So good, I wished I'll be able to do that one day. So Glenn, you won't be too lonely, can ask her out if got few more days break.

Rushing MOA anaylsis assignment now. Sigh... due tomorrow but I think many will not hand up anyway.. But clear it la.. better than stuck with it.

RF, receive your sms, I don't know where to eat too. Wat type of cuisine do you want?

Got to Sleep look at the time!
Or else gonna doze off in lecture again.

And dn't know how to face Ms ching tml... didn't pract much lor
sigh sigh!

Enjoyable Weekends

2005-09-12T12:33:00.000+08:00

Kinda of long since I last updated my blog.
This weekend was interesting. I cancelled my sat teaching and went down to chijmes with my parents and David to meet up with a staff in chijmes to discuss on the details of the wedding package they offered.
She brought us up to a staff entrance place to look down at one of the christian wedding that is holding in the afternoon. This couple has 20 tables, they had their church wedding in chijmes and immediately follow by the wedding lunch banquet.
Saw the atmosphere, change my initial opinion of this place, I like it now. But the only minus point is the stage, it's rather dark.
But can be done to brighten up.
However, MOM don't like it. So, I'm stucked in the middle.

Then went to NATAS fair to look for holiday package. Tried to find emily, but can't find you, tot can see what your company has any good promotions. But I scout the whole place can't find you and don't know which company so I gave up.
David was interested with the package offered by SA tours so we went back to them and bought a free & easy package to Bali. A place which he wanted to go badly.. So finally his dreams come true. We will leave ont eh 25th nov for 4 days... gonna enjoy the spa and massage.

Then sun, usual church and teach. Then met up with David's australia uni frens for dinner at the buffet in suntec. Kinda of weird but still have two of the girlfriends whom i can talk to. So was alright after all. Then went to brahause for drink at milenia walk.
His fren brian was so funny, kit was rich and successful bizness man (singapore LKY's scholar).

We stayed there still 10pm and left.

Tired, did some work and decided to go to bed.

Now, continue MOA schumann songs aiyo..... so vast don't know wat to analysis anyway. Just do it. wrong then see how

Updates

2005-09-07T12:36:00.000+08:00

Oki time for more updates, hasn't update my blog for so long. Dont' understand where did glenn, my cousins has the energy and the time to do that?? HOw you guys do that?

Last thurs lesson with ms ching was oki. Then went for fellowship in the evening. Pastor Teo K H spoke on blessed assurance. Was a useful message. Then supper at hougang.

Last friday, teached and went to church in the evening again, this evening is to play for prayer meeting. . seem so long after the last time I played. Uncle chee leong shared on habakuk chpa 3. The last chp of the book. Interesting and the last verse is good.

Last sat (3sept), a long day for me. Teach two kids one at home the other travelled. But my darling fetch me there which saved me lots of time in travelling. Then so nice of him, he waited in his pick-up for an hour then fetch me home... this is something he had been doing lately for me. AND....I am touched and really appreciate.
Then he fetched me to church again at 7.30pm, for a worship leader and pianists training. Was fun, saw the different services procedures and how to speak clearly and wat to say and not to say. Had fun with the SF and YF.
Didn't had time to stay behind to chit chat tho. Cos.....
Darling picked me up and off to his place, then I get changed and make up within 20 mins we are out of the house to Rouge at alley bar. Jen and elmo celebration and they had booked a table there. The place was nice and comfy but it happen to have a rock band perf and they are horrible. Drums louder than anything else on stage. To me is like a tom tom set perf.
Then, there were lots of screaming (typical of rock) trying to show their coolness. All of us couldn't take it. More over, I had headache the whole and it went off in the evening. With this rock band making so much noise, my headache 'visited' me again la. Kinda of disappointed, didn't drink much cos mostly diluted no kick! tot of going elsewhere but all are tired and left. Darling hungry so we went mac for supper...then went home
Group photo taken at the club.
That's end my sat!

Start of School HOli

2005-08-31T22:49:00.000+08:00

finally waited break had arrived.
Attended the YAMAHA school talk in our school today. They are really selling their benefits and lucrative programme they gave to teacher.
I'm actually quite attracted by it esp the CPF contribution. Hmmm... may try next year if not doing the degree next year.

I'm in dilemma to take the degree course anot. Age, Family, Future, Career plans.... sigh... kinda of blur.
I definitely had my reasons for both.... but will be long story to type it out I"m just lazy.

Anyway, lots of work to do and due after school holi start and I heard there's a test after school starts

A student cum fren not learning from me anymore. kInda of sad, but is her decision and I respect it.

Mom cooked today, so happy and so rare of her to do tat. I had a wonderful dinner, so happy and contented.

Gtg bathe and start doing some works.

School holi tat is not a HOLI

2005-08-29T23:53:00.000+08:00

Why??? Officially, holi starts on the 1st but then, next mon - tue still need to go to school with all the additional masterclasses to attend ... sickening school.
Pay me back my holi fee then.... make me go back to school.

Today attended a masterclass by Prof Lee Kum Sing, first masterclass with rather good attendance, alot of public ppl sat in. Alot of teachers (school and private) came to see the masterclass. Why? cos this master is a prestigious pianist in singapore but now staying overseas. He is rather old alreadi but still energetic when he taught.
Initially, planned to do some own reading during the masterclass but was caught by his charisma when he played the piano and the way he taught.

I heard from classmate that he is our teachers' teacher before he left for overseas perf and teachings.

He applied from martial arts - kung fu, qi kung into playing of piano. He used a pencil's eraser to poke the piano and yet produce melodious legato to explain finger legato. There's wow wow sound when he did tat.
The students tone change and sounded nicer just after he taught them, he is just so effective.
Oh, his right hand little finger is paralysed yet, he still played all the thick chords better than anyone in school.
The way he teach sounded like my PS teacher. Wonder is she was his student before??

Err.. got to prepare my piece for the next group lesson with another master - singapore prestigious pianist Dennis LEe.... stress... I'm not prepare yet but heard that he is a super nice guy.

Sad

2005-08-25T22:43:00.000+08:00

Had a unhappy lesson with my teacher cos of me me me!
Upsetting day!

Music of 20thC composers

2005-08-23T17:36:00.000+08:00

Today had a very interesting music history lesson. This sem we are learning on the music of the composer after post war (after 1945).
Then, Dr Tan went through with us few composition composed in 1960s. She showed us this composer call La monte Young. amazing and sicko composition.
There's few I could roughly remember:
1. push the piano to the wall in a direction, pushed all the way into the wall, pushed till the performer is tired, tat's the end of the piece. (see wat I meant?) there's no notes
2. have few butterflies in a room, let the butterflies out, when they all flew out of the window of the room, tat's the end of the piece.
Argghh... don't understand. But very innotative.

Another composer, is Annea Lockwood, a new zealander.
She composed a piano burning piece. Yes literally burn the piano.
Check out this website, this guy performed this piece but with a baby grand
http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/arts/music/staff/mh/burning.html

I'm felt so pain for the piano.

David's Granny birthday celebration 14 Aug 05

2005-08-16T23:28:00.000+08:00

Last weekend, my parents and I went to JB, David's house for 2 days. Reason is his Granny's 71 year old birthday and is carried forward for celebration. This celebration gonna be a rather big scale one. Cos Granny and David's mom had invited 40 ppl and they have booked 4 tables at the Danga Bay chines restaurant. We reached on Sat afternoon, not a bad jam so reach about 5pm plus. We checked into the crystal crown hotel cos david's house is too packed no rooms.
Then his mom drove over to picked us up. Very nice and kind of his mom that she let David used her car for the two days we were there to fetch my parents around. Then we went to his house to have dinner. When we reached, as usual honey (dog) will welcome us. haha...
Saw auntie meilin (david's aunt) , her husband uncle mic and steph who has came back from florida. Dinner we had popiah... yummy yummy, granny had made all the ingredient herself, David ate 6 fat popiah lor... my parents, his sis and me ate about 2. then we went shopping!

See the girl in the picture, this is steph... She has grown so tall that I couldn't recognise her. She still looked pretty. Eurasian, pretty without her american accent. She looked fit too and after chitchatin with her realise that she wake-board during the weekend. So cool and guess wat she is only 15 yrs old. Oh! she has a boyfrien too.....
On sunday, we checked out from the hotel, then went over to david's house, then we heard bad new from david's sis that she had scratched Tony's car (her bf) when driving out from the carpark. The car is not tony's it belongs to his sis - new toyota corolla.
A picture of the grandchildren in the house, David was teasing his sis that she is the shortest among all, even the bro and steph who are both 15 yrs are taller than her hahaha.... very bad!

After the wonderful lunch at the resturant, we went home to cut cake, the birthday cake ( pic above) was bought by the david's mom and auntie.

The celebration ended with a family photo. nice photo taken cos of the different color, granny looked very happy.

Then david and andrea and me went to see this uncle for massage, he is like a sain sei. He could fix bones and pain. out of the 3 andrea suffered most. she was toss ard.

Then we left for singapore and reached home at 8pm plus very tired and another day of school!

Church Outing 8 aug

2005-08-16T19:46:00.000+08:00

Church brothers organised an outing on the eve of national day! We are going to East coast park.
Rather excited cos we are going to play treasure hunt and fellowship with brothers and sister in christ.

When I reached there I was rather shocked to see all the kids in our church there. Their parents had brought them there in the late afternoon, the SF are playing with them with all the flouresent stick brought by uncle Dave and Rongfa (later). They are all in their hyper mode. So, funny to see them screaming and shouting and chasing one another.

Some played soccer la, as usual mans and boys.. the mothers are the ones that busy chitchatting and looking after all the food yummy food lei, got curry and popiah ahahah....

We started with treasure hunt, wow uncle lake really kills us, we walked so far to complete the stations. 16 stations and cover 3 km. My butt and legs hurts man.....
After the treasure hunt, I'm worn out but the rest still play wacko game. ahah so funny when the little ones join us.

We sang hymns and admire and listen to Moses wonderful guitar skills and technique, he had perfect pitch he can picked up any songs and hymns anytime, so we teased his gf if he serenade her often ahaha.... jummy and jason joined too.

Then we ended the day at 2 am in the morning, slept and woke up to attend Preacher Jonathan yeo and grace church wedding at 11am. Almost can't get up so tired, everyone of us looked so tired at the service.

Then we went to watch Charlie and the choc factory after the church wedding and this ended my holiday.

Another day of school

A BAD FALL!

2005-08-05T23:50:00.000+08:00

Thurs! Wat a day to remember. After so many unhappy events happening in my life, another happen again. I had a big fall. Was walking out of school and walking to the bus stop to take bus to teacher house. Yest was raining heavily too, so don't know how I lost balance, my leg slip and I fell backwards and sat on the floor. PAINFUL! tat's all I can feel at that time. Tried to stand up quickly to avoid embarrasement but can't is just too painful to do tat have to squat first then slowly stand up.

Then, the left palm swollen right in front of my eyes, disgusting and painful. The pain at my tail bone started to aggravate. I start to feel the ache slowly get worst. Then evey step I take on my left leg hurts. During lesson, thank God, I can seat there but the moment I stretch octave, I have to say OUCH! cos is so painful and no strength.

No choice got to cancel piano lesson for student and can't attend fellowship. Darling came to fetch me from school and on our way back he made the wrong turn and we had to travel the long way back and had to let my family members to wait for us for 20mins for dinner sigh!!! After dinner, darling drove me back to see the chinese physician.... ate medicine and apply medication.
Thanks bro and sis in christ for your prayers. Why? Cos doc said I may not be able to wake up to go school. But, I could! and I manage to pract in the morning but RH only. Choir practice (but i had a bad headache instead, thank to minyu for helping me to massage to relieve pain or else i think i can't even attend the workshop) and attend the kodayl method workshop and played for prayer meeting. Amazing! I can do so many things.

Oh~ and I receive so many sms of concern from church sis. Gals, Thank you so much! You all are so sweet too! Muack!

So the MC is not used. hahah....God is GREAT!

Bad day!

2005-07-27T23:16:00.000+08:00

I hate her! Why does she has to put me down all the times? Wat is wrong with her or me?
I just don't understand.

Concert- 2nd piece horrible, not only I said, the prinicple cellist is no good, how can she play with the solosit. The soloist looked nervous today. Glenn the bitch in NUSSO think became the principle, she is just bad just now, flat all the way. Clarence and me missed u more when we saw that scene cos if you ard we felt that it will sound definitely better, like the musical waltz solo.
The part time pianist (cos her main role is cellist) played lots of funny notes and spread chords that miss one or two notes...

The first piece was not bad, and maybe cos I don't know tat piece well enuff la..

Where are my good days?

NOT A GOOD DAY

2005-07-26T23:08:00.000+08:00

Today was a bad day for me. Extracted my wisdom tooth yest... There is no surgery done, the dentist just pulled out by force. It really shake my whole jaw..Felt my skull cracking. Tried to go to school today but after counterpoint lecture, I felt not right... whole head seem to shake and vibrate and in pain... so in the end decided to go home. Took a cab and head right to bed till 4 plus and still pain, eyes swollen too....

Then, cos of scanner, I almost fell out with my cousin. Fortunately, she is kinda of forgiving. I'm really blur, uncle said want to borrow scanner for his work I assumed alot of stuff and borrowed to him on behalf.. causing my cousin's unahppiness...really blur la... David also reprimanded me for my insensitive....I met cousin's mom at my place, she also seem angry. I told uncle that I'll get the scanner from him next month cos most prob gonna to use for piano rep portfolio. Then I'm going to return to my cousin. If can, will try not to borrow from her alreadi... cos of this I felt so unhappy and guilty and etc.... dont' like this feeling.

Then student's mom called want to change their kids to trinity syllabus, not familiar and she is giving me stress she wants her daughter to take 2 grades in a year....
Going to find out about the syllabus this weekend...

Students exam end of aug and need to run ard to studio again... i'm going to be super tired... think also tired.

Then worst, I don't know wat happen - misunderstanding? I created another problem to david, cos of my phone conversation, he couldn't collect his laminated notice from the photocopy shop. Saw him so angry, I'm so scare but not really my fault wat, I"m talking on then hp mah, actually he could have asked me to walk and talk at the same time, I also don't know why he didn't do it.
I felt so bad......

What a Day! I'm having headache yet, more painful troubles added on.... wat is this?

Give me a break!

Poly Fren Gathering

2005-07-23T22:38:00.000+08:00

Today was our poly frens class gathering but sad to say end up only 10 of us actually not bad half the class turn up tho. our side jenny couldn't turn but the other half of the class liping joined us. I"m happy that she is joining us more and hope she will be in future.

Okie we met at thai express at esplanade at 6pm. Bought my gift exchange and reached there about 10 min late and met elmo on my way

After went in, found out that Sharon lost her way in the bus she took and will be very late. We went ahead without her ahahah. The food are not bad but the ambience is good. After our dinner, Sharon reached panting and perspire like nobody biz. ahah. ... They wanted desserts so I suggested Tea Room, they said oki and we went..... then they just started complaining.... and critising...I am upset. Keep quiet and tried to make myself happy. Anyway, after dinner, they are going for KTV, doesn't care if I go or not so I decided not to even Guay asked out of courtesy.... cos I personally don't like it... rather go home and can't wait to get home... oh! met Yiwei, I don't know why but felt happy to see her there.... just brighten my mood at that moment. Watever, maybe I"m over sensitive.... Called Darling on my walk home from interchange, told him how I felt and he consoled me with a rather good and acceptable theory thus, don't feel so sad but I still quite disturbed by it... just don't understand.. Why Minyu and YS will liked the place not them??? maybe I also shouldn't intro to church ppl or else they gonna find something to complain that place. Forget it... I don't want anyone to spoil my mood if I want to go back there again.... Tat's a place I feel I can calm down and think of things...

Came home uploaded my photos.

Lots of discussion and rapport even history is more like story telling then keep copying notes and get all our hands tired.. hmm... this is was we go through in Dr Kan's class hahah... both Drs butTan from US and Kan from UK. Their method of teaching also different....

oh oh.. in our music pedagogy class we had a debate of pros and cons of music examination in sg. I'm in the Pros group with a group of wonderful classmate in my team... like lifeng, gabriel, bernard and etc.. they are so hyper and enthusiatic which is so good... I really enjoy the lesson...

Today, had chamber choir sang two new songs, 1 by brahms and the other by Debussy.. They are lovely... Enjoyed....will try to pract before chamber... concert on oct 21

Taught my niece today, don't know why I just find her irritating and naughty... Can't help but scold... notes that she know how to read one bar before she can forget after two bars.... 1/4 count tell me half count and still talked to me in an attitude that I don't know... arrggghhh... rascal.... Then after lesson stayed over to do her tution homework, almost every other question she will ask me for answer... MCQ can still ask me the meaning of all 4 words then I really wonder how she survived in school. Her brain is so lazy can't take it... then do homework less than 30 mins she is in my bed saying that she is tired and need a nap..... WAT IS THIS???

It makes me worry wat will be my future children like????

1st Day of School

2005-07-11T23:24:00.000+08:00

Finally, the school started alreadi today.... Actually, I'm excited when I saw my classmates in school and some old classmate who had deferred and now they are back even tho not in the same class... like daniel, choong leong and shu han.
Choong leong had become more jovial and open. He was so funny today.

Aiya, as usual time to choose for electives modules.... sian... really don't know wat to choose. Given 10 choices. I have 6 which I like. And 6 choices to rank from my 1st to 6th. Thought through and discuss with minyu... and many ppl have different opinion.. Wow, some classmates made very clear cut decision unlike me think too much. So I prayed for guidances and to make the choice...

Finally, decided ethnomusicology by thomas will go first and Piano accompaniment will go 2nd no choice... thinking of taking extra modules
See how much first.

today, a classmate was very sweet and really thankful, she wrote a letter of encouragment for me, I'm so happy and touched... just by looking my nick on msn she realised my unhappiness and cared for me...
Thank God for having a sis in christ! May God Bless her!

I will learn to be happier in school and to lean on God... this year resolution...hahah even tho not new year hahah

Last sat 18th Jun was a busy day... oh didn't teach cancelled my students' piano lessons why? cos my good fren came over to my place early in the morning to find my mom to help her make a wedding dress not gown yet. Cos she want to use that to take outdoor pictures with her future hubby when he flew in from US. cos apparently he is not into the idea of taking wedding album photos which i'm angry with too... so after help her to pick her design mom took measurement and off we went to arab street to find for materials. Aunt follow too.... wow first time went there to see materials they have lots and lots and cheap and exp ones too. The irony thing is we ended up buying from the first shop we stepped in. The owner said that he was the supplier to most of the bridal shop in singapore. So I have decided, i'm going to ask mom to make my wedding dress. so I can save few hundreds worth of workmanship. Then had dinner with parents at bugis then went to Grace's 21st birthday party at Pasir Ris. Suppose to have 2 more frens going but they are not free so I went cos have to pass her the prez. But simply out of place cos none of her guests i know. so sat for a while chat a bit pass her ther prezs and left for home... tired got headache under the hot sun.
