| Taken from "Writer's Block: Two Tickets to Paradise" |
[   ] |
"If you won two free round-trip plane tickets anywhere in the world, where would you go and who would you bring?"
I must clarify first: I'm not on a writer's block: despite the lack of frequent updates, I hadn't the intention to update anyway. Heh.. Besides this topic is GREAT, and it comes in so handy right now..
This question just comes so nicely because today my friend, her mum, and I had some problems to settle with regards to our planned trip in Dec. There are NO available tickets so we're kinda bummed, although we can go another time and all, but it's just... BLAH.
Anyway, back to the question...
Generally, I would like to bring my close friend Pebs, or my mum along around the world, just because it's to ANYWHERE in the world and these two ladies are perfect shopping buddies and people who know me well enough. Pebs would have been a perfect holiday buddy, we've hanged out often every week compared to the past and I'm surprised she's not sick of me yet. :P And for my mum, it's time for her to enjoy life and it would not be fair if I were to just enjoy it myself and leaving her behind. (That said, hypothetically do we get FREE expenses too during the trip? :P)
But according to circumstances now, we would LOVE to go to Hawaii during the situated time. And perhaps extend our trip to more places during our stop-over. Or maybe to postpone the trip to Hawaii and then REALLY took few months off to tour around the world. This would have been so perfect. [Ah, if I do got to travel for months, I'll need extra money to be given to my family and for us holidaying people, and to have someone take over my classes and taking care of my girls/chapter. Then, I'll travel in peace. :) ]

.... 3 weeks since I last updated (courtesy of LJ). Been busy running around to work/teach ever since my students resume after few months hiatus, practising for a performance on 14th Sept (which, coincidentally is my birthday. Great present for myself--IF I do not screw up the performance *shudder*).
I feel so grateful and amazed that I have such a great opportunity to learn from a professional musician (apart from earning some money during this process :P). Through the preparation, apart from learning musical stuff and being able to apply onto it for gakkai activities, my friend J had pointed out in such an empowering way I wish I could recall it. It's the way she put it, on the part of being able to learn the procedures of such performances and encountering such vast and different exposure of performing. I guess in a way she (the musician) is like a mentor at this point of time, because she doesn't charge me from the things that I learnt indirectly AND here's the best part: she said she'll call me back to perform again, because she believes that I should be exposed to more performances in order to sharpen my skills. THANK YOU!! (and even if I'm not called back for future performance somehow, it's the fact that she believes in giving me such opportunities that touches.)
Alrighty, enough of such long-windedness. But certainly to me, it's a benefit that I should share about, something that I've never thought of concretely, and certainly something I would not complain about ;)
***********************
As per request from a dear friend, here's a list of stuff in random order:
` Il Divo CD (I know you're getting it :) )
` earpiece lfor SE Z610i
` larger than 64MB memory card for SE Z610i
` ipod (4th gen) holder
` bag (will work for it somehow, preferably a durable one)
` watch (ladies' silver dressy watch)
er... can' t think of it for now what else I totally need :P. I just can't wait for a big break at the end of the year. Must chant for it to materialise and make sure things go the way it's the best for me (and my students of course).
Annnddd... THANK YOU SO MUCH to:
*KL and SF for the birthday present in advance! *muah*
*Pebs for planning a great time for me and us :)
*HK & CW for the treat I'm having tmr. Didn't expect it at all. *touched*
*supper time with yt & jb. :)
Man, I wanna lose even more weight. At least in time for J's wedding dinner. Gah!

July was such an eventful month, first was 070707 and the preparation for it; Professor Wei and his school organised a Piano Recital on 22/7 and my bro and I were part of a group of people who got to mingle with them / bring them around to make them feel comfortable. I am indeed humbled and honoured for such experience given. And the performance was amazing! I wanna go learn how to play so well too! :) On the same day there was an impromptu recording for a YWD CD and I had to play the piano while figuring out the songs and chords, good thing Jeff was around for his band prac later on, although we were not supposed to exceed the recording time! *sorry* (and hi mavis, I was the one playing the piano while you sang along with kwing lee :) I guess it'll be slightly awkward if I just come up to you and say, "hey we're LJ friends." heh..) Oh, that day was very fruitful, waking up early cuz the choir had to perform for morning gongyo, staying back for the piano recital, doing the recording hence had to cancel on student at the last minute, band practice later on and I was totally worn out (but was treated to a good supper although I'm sure my body has stopped digestion for the day. :P )

Argh I'm such a gundu! Wanted to insert a photo but ended up clicking on a link that opens up in the same window as this updating-page and I lost my entry -_- Anyway, guess that means I should just make it even shorter. (Not that it was long to begin with. Really!)
Busy yet fulfilling time now, with more opportunities to perform at various events -- with a professional thus learning new musical knowledge and making a new wonderful friend; joining a group with wonderful people--although I didn't think I officially agreed to be in that group yet as I have another group too haha~; performing to convey GD's message; learning Hokkien songs (!! :D ); involving in an upcoming production which will be mass-distributed; having good dinner tomorrow ;) ).... Just so many things, but I'm glad for the path being shown to me, the mission I must undergo. And there's new student, so one more income hehe.. But now the places I'm going to is getting more widespread. At least I get to learn new routes and finally get to explore new places hehe.. Am saving up for money, hopefully to change handphone soon because mine is cranky, and possibly a kofu-car, regardless if it's a COE car or not. *cough*andakofupartner*cough*
In short, alls' well, still the same kind of busy but am able to look beyond the "problems" and realised it's not such a big issue. Oh and I'm gaining weightmbecoming even more "Aerodynamically Curvaceous" (Link)
LOL. And I love this comic. PINTSIZE!! :D
I love my life now.

I love the weather today, especially when we're home at some point of time. Reminds me of the weather and the colour of the sky of Japan. Sigh.....
I need to get a white, powerful, night light. Stupid blur me bought the wrong colour, it's so embarrassing to say it out.

.... but it's not a happy one. Perhaps I'm just immune to things now, which is not a good sign. Something like passive-aggressive. Oh, that lovely sentence from Grey's Anatomy Season 2 by Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd, "There is a land called Passive-Aggressiva and you are the Queen," to Dr. Addison "McHot" Montgomery-Shepherd. (I heart GA.)
I seriously hope I'm not a P.A.... Was kinda in a sian and don't-bother-me mood for the past 2 weeks, but I'm slowly overcoming this. There are times I know and I want to do things right, but I didn't bring myself to it, letting each second pass. Many more upcoming young successful people on the making, and I cannot be stagnant.
And please remember, I am not a chatty person to people I don't hang out often with. Neither am I an outspoken person at the start, although I would love to chat with friends I've made for years. It takes lotsa wisdom and courage to be able to speak out, and I'm trying hard. I wish there are more people who can be understanding, and ya ya, I know, it all starts with me. I know what's to be done, and how to pick myself up. I'm just.. pissed that people assume things I'm not / not capable of. Like how I'm an extrovert (bull), or I am really quiet thus I am weak/GU NIANG (also bull). Argh, after typing this, it seemed so contradicting. I guess they just don't know me well enough for me to do the things I know I can do it. At the beginning I didn't think that I'm ready to do it, but now I accepted it, I can't go back on my decision. It'll just erase away even the littlest effort I've done.
So stop passing judgements. I know I have to shapen my behaviour, my thoughts, heck, even my character.. But I wish that I can run away and just stay there and not face the pressure now. Urgh......... Give me some time. First of, I didn't start out with the number of years and experience and rapport and friendship already, and I know I gotta and can work on that. Also, when I tried my best to ask, some just doesn't seem to be bothered and gave that attitude. URGH!!! Seriously, I wish I'm still 14. Meredith and Ellis Grey, both of you are just so right. (had that msn convo on adulthood with pebs too.)
My eyes hurt. My head hurt. Everything just hurt.

I'm having [one of] the [best] time of my life right now. Despite the sudden hectic schedule pouring onto me ever since last week and it will not stop until I go overseas, sometimes I may be tired and start to be succumbed to my sleepiness. Dayum! But somehow I managed to pull myself to go there, and I've WON over the devilish functions!! *throws fist in air* (And I guess it's a good time for me to lose some weight if possible. :P )
It's certainly a fresh start once again, and because of the opportunity I'm given to share, because of the events that are coming up right now, because of the responsibilities and mission I have, I am and will always be eternally grateful for this time of my life.
Just being sentimental, it's time I should start updating, even the most minute things? Perhaps I should lock up somehow too. That way it won't matter what I wrote is silly or boring. :P Got inspired to write because of an amazing band member who kept a (handwritten) diary ever since young. That is so amazing!! Can't see from the outlook and antics and jokes that this person is struggling so hard. So are the other cool band members, I really enjoy my time with them, I've learnt so much from them. They're warm, caring, funny, yet also wise and strong in faith. They certainly feel like big brothers and sisters to me. :)
I am so glad to be able to join them, this time not playing with them, but singing with them. Different role altogether! And I'm glad for the chance to be able to work with them in Aug 2005 during one of the SSA Family Day concert when Lannie came to perform. Because of this mystical fate and opportunity in 2005, I don't feel the least bit awkward or strange with them -- considering I've already known one member since like, young. My mum and his mum contact each other often enough; one who has such straight and pleasant-looking cute face but is a joker la; a beautiful talented cool lady; and the funny, awesome "older sibling" to the child (in the eyes of stranger LOL! It's close to mid-age but still look young la. Man, the 2nd person I knew who are of the same age but look at least 10-20 years younger!! _-_ ) . There's the rapport with them (I sure hope so hehe), and I look forward to have supper after practice actually. Hehe... (Now I know why one would like to join supper with them. Teehee~) And the da jie is right: when they say certain things, we will feel happy for 1 week! LOL! Eh for me only 1 day so far, 6 more days to go.. Hehehe....
Is it silly if I offer to get souvenirs for them when I go overseas? Eh but they surely travel more than I do la, and would have better financial capability than me. Haha.. And I won't know what to get for them. I think it will be unnecessary and I think they will think I'm siao la. Haha.
Oh, how does one "shake" when laughing? How do I react while I'm laughing? I didn't know my body will move!! And I don't feel the least bit insulted! wahaha!! And it's definitely not lewd remarks. Hehe. "I like to see you laugh, because every part of you will move, whereas for skinny people, their rib-bones will jut out." This makes me LOL even more even though I tried to stop. :P (Is it true?) And someone else talk about another "lao da" who will move A LOT each time he laughs. And this "lao da" is definitely much more bigger-sized than me.
Man, I wish I can type out more. But eh quite private. Hope these memories will stay in the memory bank for long... *hugz and kisses*
********************************
I finally am into "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon" (spoilers in link), even though I bought it at the beginning of the year. -_-" Because my bro(!!) decided to take it out to watch one night, and I joined in. Ever since then, I"m HOOKED! Hyun Bin!!!!! XD At first thought he's ok, but the longer I watch, the more charming he gets. :P I like him better in MNIKSS role, with his hair short and styled up. The current hairstyle makes him look ah.. older and.. I duno la. Just thought he's cute in the show. Heh. And his smile & hairstyle and gruffiness in the website (especially the thumbnail under "Queen of Snow") reminds me of Naohito Fujiki! *used to be crazy over him together with dino lol*
*ahem* Anyway, there's still 4 more discs left, and that excludes the first 1.5 disc that I didn't really watch properly. Will watch them only when I FINISH my open-book to-be-done-at-home exam, which is due on 24th Nov, Friday! ARGH! *motivation*
Hwaiting!! (Korean for "jia you!")
