I'm off again!

Forgot to update the blog! Whoops...

Nov was month of slacking and mugging alternatively. Cos end of the month was exams mah. Not healthy man... it's almost like bulimia - you starve yourself, then you binge and so on and so forth. New Year resolution? Take it easy, study in moderation, play in moderation and do them consistently.

Oh and as the subject title says, I'm going overseas! In 9 hours I'll be on Silkair flying to Medan for my first ever humanitarian trip! Thank you all my sponsors! The Roll of honour Goes:

Siaohua
Eugene
Roland
Stella
Zhiwei
Edmund - I hope you got your dream job!
Elkan
Amos
Lynette - sorry for scaring you in China! :p
Cynthia
Shawn


And of course, my lifesavers - Mummy and my bro - for countless giving money when I've gone down to my last dime prematurely... Ahahaha... -_-;

Oh! Also worthy of mentioning was my feat of mugging for the exams and rehearsing for Messiah at the same time! So 9am are my papers (there was one for each day, back to back) after the papers ended at 11.30, Go for lunch, then head down to Esplanade - study in the backstage lounge room, scram a bit of bite before 6.30pm rehearsal till 10pm, stagger back exhausted to home, study more till around midnight, sleep for the next day's 9am exam.

It was quite fun, but by the 3rd rehearsal I was feeling the side effects - grumpiness, spaced out, inability to focus on normal activities like walking, choosing what to eat (I just stood in front of the stall and blinked.) Oh and I nearly popped my eyes straining at the TINY notes - couldn't figure which line was that note on. Is that a sharp or a natural sign? The 3rd exam without a doubt, is the one I'm Most definitely insecure about.

So the Messiah concert on the 3rd came and went. Okay I'm being vague - it was quite a glorious feeling - playing to a packed concert hall (which I hadn't experienced since Birmingham - Orff's Carmina Burana) Best part of it? My goodness, the first rehearsal with the choir, despite the weak playing by the orchestra, sent chills down my spine. Something about hearing choruses singing 'Wonderful Counsellor' was just... ooh~ Indescribable.

So anyway, I'll be back with more stories on Sunday - Special waves to Em, Q_n and Elk_! Sorry, too lazy to reply back on the tagboard. haha

Special wave to my bro in Australia too! Don't let your managers catch you reading this!
