Just shifted over to the new blogger, and honestly, its not much different. My bros have told me that the new blogger isn't that good, but I beg to differ. To me its just the same. Anything that I can use to express myself is fine. Anyway, its Christmas Eve, and time passes so fast. Just one week or so to school. I must say that I'm looking forward to it, not only cos of my friends and stuff but also cos of the challenge. Next year is gonna be some bomb challenging year, with piano exam, SYF, PoP 2, RR concert, RJGE concert and the A levels all in the same year. I'm wondering where I'll get the time to prepare for it all, but I believe with His strength I will cope. To all those people who have started giving presents thank you. Thanks aunty K for the early present, thanks Yee Ying for the card, and thanks Mel for the shout-outs. Sorry if I don't give anyone presents, cos I am not earning any money for my parents at all, and to just spend loads their money just like...

Heya guys... For the first time ever, I lost my blogpost. And why? Cos there was a blackout that affected some parts of Singapore. Heard in the news that one of the power plants at Senoko failed causing a major blackout. Yeah but I'm not really upset. Cos in the morning I was kinda in a half sleepy mood and didn't type very clearly. Yup so I'm back from the family trip to Hong Kong, and the church camp to Kota Tinggi, and I had lots and lots of fun with my dear family and my fellow 17 year olds in the camp comm. More about those things later. Suddenly have an urge to try out the new blogger, but I think I'll save that for later. On to more interesting stuff first... *** 8th Dec - Pre HK trip (Family) Went to say goodbyes to some of my cousins and relatives before going off, and how better to do that than to play some cheap bowling. Met Elaine, Shanny, Serene, Omy, my grandma, my bros and my mom at the nearby HomeTeamNS bowling centre to have some fun. My scores: 94, 94,...

Hey guys I'm off to Hong Kong! You guys have fun while I'm not here! Hope camp planning, guitar composing and eden-sol meetings go well... See ya guys Friday evening.

Woo piles of music homework to do. Should be enough to last through the trip to HK. Yup FYI I'm going to HK for 4-5 days. Should be back by next friday... I'll bring my phone along but try not to message or call if you don't want extra charges to your phone bill. I may or may not reply depending on the importance of the message. *** Piano Back to the piano homework. The thing I can't believe is that I'm actually taking a break from outings just to complete it within the deadline and not vice versa. Really quite scary how big a part piano has become in my life. It may even become a probable career for extra expenditure. My grade 8 theory exam is coming somewhere next year if February or March. But I'm kinda confident of my theory. The papers I do I get about 18-22 out of 25 for questions 4-5, which I must say is quite impressive considering that I just learnt a lot of the concepts such as diminished 7th, augmented 6th, Secondary Chords and such. Trying to continu...

Oh man... Can't believe that I left the previous post to rot for five days before continuing it. Haha so I might as well start a new post, since nothing much happened over the few days that I didn't blog. Yeah so the past few days I've been feeling pretty tired and lacklustre. Probably because of insufficient sleep, insufficient water or too much chips and ice cream haha. So as a result I've got a splitting headache, as well as a couple of pretty bad ulcers to deal with. Nothing much I couldn't handle, except for the pain haha. I think its time for a change of habits. *** Family The probable reason for my lack of sleep throughout the week would probably be cos of movies, risk, and poker. See, my uncle William, aunt Jenny and Desiree left for HK leaving Jody and Omy behind. And as a result, they've come to our house the past few days and we've been playing all those games till pretty late at night. Haha I am some poker noob. The twins sorta introduced it to e...
