silk road ensemble.

first piece n i got to hear yoyoma play. really, i thot he was very gd. u cld actually feel the cello tellin u a story- mellow, seasoned, wise n sorrowful. or maybe it was his excessive tremolo'ing. hm but still i thot he was gd.
i tink last nite's programme might have been a lil more ethnic. more indian instruments. tabla n all.
got to hear shakuhuchi. haha rem all the mep days when we cldnt tell shakuhuchi frm hichiriki or whatnots.
there was this great virtuoisitic sheng player too. he's really quite gd too.
though most of the time i just sat there n pretended that i understood everybit of the concert. ;D

going lil india again to collect the saris. yeahh. n maybe ill drop by tk since they havin choir camp n i know wad time ms lim gonna be there. heh heh. lets hope i make it bck there in time.

study hard!

father of the bride.

u noe wad? its still one of my fav movies. father of the bride. haha i just 'wasted' two sats watchin it on channel five. you get such a warm feelin watchin steve martin fallin in love wif his wife all over again, n him learnin to let go of his daughter. i love the movie.! yeah. ahha. its the kind of movie u wanna buy the video and watch it when ur old n alone at home. ;D
everytime i watch it its the same old feelin tt arises up in u. but u nv get tired of it bcoz its so candidly real.

i need to go bck to studyin.

oh tmr i may just pop by my aunt's hse n try to help her 'bao zong zi'. ;) wish me luck man. oh maybe i can make some n bring to sue's bbq.. hahaha. :D

munchin popcorn.

hp3 isnt great. in fact, its lousy. i dont really understand it. sigh. how can sirius black, frm a lunatic, turn (suddenly) into a loving godfather? i lk the map tho. malfoy looks funny.. i miss his terribly gelled hair.

aniwae its strange ppl dont understand this joke when i tell them. well yesterday morn, on my way to sch i was listenin to class95 morn show. they were tryin to differentiate btwn erotic n kinky. then glenn said 'erotic is when u use a feather. kinky, is when u use the whole chicken.' well i burst out laughin. must have looked pretty funny laughin to myself on the train.. ;)

aniwae heard this song on the radio yesterday n managed to find the lyrics. i found it quite, erm, adorable. ;)

Adam Sandler
I Wanna Grow Old With You

i wanna make you smile
whenever you're sad
carry you around when your arthritis is bad
all i wanna do, is grow old with you

I'll get you medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
So, it could be so nice growing old with you,....

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control.

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
Oh I could be the man that grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you.

didnt noe adam sandler can sing, huh?

pw.

after pw being stagnant n stale for so long, i had my meetin with the girls today. we did quite a few thgs. hey we realised we found out quite a bit for the 'wad will happen in ten yrs time'. n we kinda started our layout for the written report.
pretty fruitful. we even made a trip down to the library.
ha.i wonder how the guys are doing.

im watchin potter later. Finally.

but i kinda slept my whole after noon away again. sigh. but im really tired.
tts bad.

pretty indiany.

went little india today. we're gonna wear saris in germany yeah. aniwae after much bumpin arnd we saw some really nices ones in the shop where i bought my first sari. i was with linzi that time. i still rem! heh. i rem the owner being v helpful.. tho diff ppl but they were equally nice.
we bought four colours. red darkpinky purple blue. i lk the purple but i tink i prefer the pink much more. aniwae i haf a reddish top liao so save money. ;D
whee. n i replied sheena in the choir forum. since she said no one replied to her posts on groupings ahah. its quite fun, this whole indiany thg.

then me n sheena got pretty excited n our whole msn convo seemed to evolve only arnd the words 'saris' 'beautiful' 'exciting' 'cant wait'. ;D

oh. hey people's association is a nice plc to take photos. its spacious n the buildings look gd. quite surprising. i thot its some run down cc ahah. oops. ;D

grr.

was happily listenin to class95 until they started playin clay ailken. then i switched to 98.7fm. until they started playin ailken music as well. so i ended up listenin to pwoer98. army boys do not listen to ailken! yes!!

heyo.

just woke up frm a nap. am drinkin coke now. listenin to class95. doing pw now since weathers too hot to tink. just ate mrs fields brownies (yes the ones i bought for my sis for jubilate its not finished yet. so im helpin. ;D )

sometimes i feel so blessed. yesterday when i walked into my dad's shop i felt so different. hey, here i am enjoyin the comforts of a pretty luxurious life while he's down there workin so hard, sweatin, liftin weights, just to bring home money to pay for all our needs. im proud to be his daughter ;D

why does family business always go bust? or rather, why cant they stay the way it is? bcoz every generation is different. n more often the succeedin ones simply arent their fathers, n they dont fit the bill for being in the forefront for such a large n relatively successful company. but does this spell the end for the company? i hope not. maybe someday one spirited young lady will try to change everythg. a ha.

yesterday i talked to abiel. he's Finally movin. well he was quite troubled n i dun tink i really knew wad to say, so i just listened. hm. cant say everythg will be alright since it wont be, but i guess it can all be made better if u jst stay by her side. i simply cant imagine losin someone so close too. its too painful to even tink bout it.
tts y i say im blessed.
i'll need to gif bck then.
tts y i've set my goal to work for some volunteer grp when i grow up. ahha maybe wif kids. i lk kids. ;) nt lk mary or chui loo who glares at kids who run arnd. nor gracia who gets headaches frm kids runnin arnd n steppin on her gown. ;) ahha.

cheers.

swimming, baby.

sent my mum n aunt off to the bus terminal to johore. then my sis n i went bugis. to shop :D heh heh. she bought me lunch n a skirt frm dorothy perkins. haha it pays to have a sis who works for her own money. i really lk one skirt frm esprit too but its a lil too ex. haha nvm, ive grown up. its ok if i dont get to owe the skirt, at least i got to try it once hahaah. ;D

then i went swimmin! since goodness knows how long. aniwae i realised i still haf a fear for deep waters. i kinda chickened out when it got to the deep part n so i turned 90degrees n swam to the side. i must have looked funny, but nvm. oh n there was this cute lil boy there too. in his float. aha he was swimmin n counting at the same time. at one pt of time he splashed water at me. so adorable haha.
then we ate at sea sports centre. my dad was talkin to this waiter about fishin nearby. then this waiter started talkin bout the place further down which he knows got a lot of fish but its kinda haunted. lk how when u throw smthg it'll throw bck at u, then theres a hse there which is empty, blah. Ah i was lk 'okay.. Stop Tellin ME.' oh well.

bravo! fantastic!

last choir prac today. aww. had workshop wif velasco. he's really fantastic, i must say. bruckner has nt been soundin so gd for so long.. its wonderful to sing it. as daifeng said, u just feel lk ur flyin. quite true, coz the song kinda lifts u up n sucks out every energy u haf.. ahh. now i understand y nelson kept the song for five yrs n didnt use it, only until now. we mustnt let him (n ourselves) down!
aniwae i was being evil again n made them sing etlingua in quartet. n the best part? i didnt haf to sing coz velasco arrived. heh. ;D haha bing im still waitin for u to kill me slowly.. ;D

intention was to have a nice after choir prac dinner. i did, ;D. had a dinner walk wif gracia haha. we were just walkin arnd parkway, n laughin about everythg.
aniwae mph has this shrek 2 balloony thg. then gracia wanted to take a pic of it usin my phone, so we waited till the coast was clear then i quickly snapped a pic of her. it was hilarious. u cant even see the whole 'S'!
then we (haha) walked into top 20 n looked at the slippers. we were hopin no one saw us there. ahha.
n oh yah, we bought our big nice earrings liao! of coz i bought a yellow one n gracia bought a pink one. we had a hard time takin the earrings out bcoz everytime we take one out another one will fall off the rack. so we kinda spent half our time pickin fallen earrings frm the floor. ahha. its gracia lah, butterfingers. tsktsk.
;D but it really feels gd to just walk arnd wif her, even if its jsut parkway. yeahh. ;D silly girl even msged me to thank me for walkin arnd wif her. but hey i gotta say, shes learnt to cope well wif my attitude.. tts my friend man. hahaha. ;D

josh was embarrassin today. gosh. n lucas made a funny comment on me. they were talkin bout blindfoldin me (god knows why) then lucas said 'blindfold jy wif wad? floss??' aw man tts just the WRONG thg to say. ARGh. he's so gonna die. haha. ;D

ill look gd in a sari. ;D provided it wont be too cold in germany's auditoriums.. or we'll all be frozen cats(kucinta). or frozen birds(pamugun). oh no, we'll have frozen midriffs ahhaha. hee.

then me eug joel n jonathan walked to esplanade.. we were supposed to eat together until me n eug walked past mango at raffles city n we saw a really fantastically shiny top on the display model so we kinda rushed into the shop to look at it ahah.
we ended up eatin subway by ourselves n i bought mrs fields brownies for my sis hahaha. it wrote there three for 6bucks, but the person charged me 6.20 so as i paid i asked the cashier.. he looked stricken then he apologised for his mistake. then eug started laughin. Silly girl. ahah. but it was funny. she said i had a smirk look on my face ahaah. ;D brownies are nice..

How Can I Not Love You - JOY ENRIQUEZ

Cannot touch, Cannot hold, Cannot be together
Cannot love, Cannot kiss, Cannot love each other
Must be strong and we must let go
Cannot say what our hearts must know

Chorus:
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

Cannot trip, Cannot share sweet and tender moments
Cannot feel how we feel, Must pretend it's over
Must be brave and we must go on, Must not say
What we no longer long

Chorus:
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

How can I not love you

Bridge:
Must be brave and we must be strong
Cannot say what we no longer long

Chorus:
How can I not love you
What do I tell my heart
When do I not want you here in my arms
How does one walks away
From all of the memories
How do I not miss you when you are gone

How can I not love you
When you are gone

symphony of a thousand

"Imagine that the Universe bursts into song. We hear no longer human voices, but those of planets and suns which revolve"

"A symphony must be like the world, it must embrace everything."
-Gustav Mahler
