Oh yah, almost forgot... My choir is recruiting members to join us for competition in Xiamen, China. Interested parties can call the number stated on this beautiful pic or email to the stated email. Even if we are not going for competition in China we just might go for competition in Malaysia... Above that, you'll also be involved in our annual series of concert, Aurythmics VI and other exciting activities. Aspiring singers, what are you waiting for? Call or email now!!

Tip: You should have a passion for singing and you should be able to read musical notes. For the latter, its ok if you can't read notes, you'll be taught by either sections leaders or other more mature members. Forget about the auditions dates stated on the flyer. The recruitment is still on!

So Lucky...

Rriinngg... My HP rang. I picked it up to read. It says, "(IW) Contratulations! You have won a pair of preview tickets to watch Memoirs of a Geisha. Just show this SMS and your IC on 2molo 17/01(Tue) at Orchard Cineleisure in front of Hall 1 to collect the tickets and premiums". I was so excited! This is my first preview of a movie in 24 years of my life and its cast was a huge and one at that! Just I was thinking of whom should I ask to go with me, I thought of CM. without hesitation, I MSNed her and she agreed to my invitation. I was to meet her at Orchard Cineleisure at 6.30pm

Boy, was I late! I reached at about 6.45pm, met up with her and rushed to collect the tickets and premiums. The lady at the redemption counter was very nice and even told us that dinner was prepared for us. We were like "Wow! Thank you!" Then we went in.

In the cinema, when we were eating our bento (packet meal), CM told me that something happened to her family and I was like, "Oh no..." (sorry dear, I didn't know about it, but I hope you are ok now and hope that you enjoyed the show as much as I do! I sincerely hope that this trip will cheer you up a little at least...)

Anyway, the show lasted 2 hrs 15mins, but it was a good show. It reflects the true life of a geisha (Performer-cum-accompany in Japan).

After the show, both CM and I rushed to the washroom as most ladies do, and we parted and took our different buses home after that.

HP as calculator

Riiinnngggg.... The office bell rang. Its time to go home! But not for me, I was to go for my third lesson of my CAT course. I rushed out and in my hassle I forgot to bring my pen and calculator to class! I went for dinner at BK, reached SAA, got into class, sat down and opened my bag, I realized that I forgot to bring all the necessary items, namely pen and calculator! Immediately, I asked my classmate for a pen and guess what? I used my HP as my calculator for the entire lesson! When I was doing calculation with my HP, the teacher thought that I was SMSing in his class, but the fact was that I was doing calculation. He was walking around when we were doing Trading, Profit & Loss for a question, he approached the place where I was sitting, with the intention of asking me not to SMS in class(or so I thought). Little did he realized that I was doing calculations using my HP! When he saw it he smiled and let me off. He couldn't stop smiling at me throughout the entire lesson. A few of my classmates were amused that he kept smiling at me throughout the entire lesson and asked me what had happened when we were walking to the MRT station. I told them that I used my HP to do calculations as I forgot to bring my calculator and pen to class. They were having a good laugh over my encounter till they reached their destination station. Remind me never to forget such important things again...

Just wanna share with you my fantastic choir mates, MPYC and MPS (ladies in green top and guys in white top.) Did you see me? I am at the extreme left corner...

A good start to a brand new year

December 31st... 10.. 9.. 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

This was the case when I was at the Esplanade with my Metro Philharmonic Youth Choir(MPYC) mates to countdown to 2006. It was full of people (as usual...) and we had to squeeze our way in and out of the place. It was extremely difficult to stick together as a group of 13. Good thing there is this thing called "handphone", so that we were able to contact the person who was missing from the group.

The crowd then proceeded to Padang, where we met the everloving couple, Shize and Xu Yi. That day, on the first day of the first month of the year 2006, we celebrated one of our faithful and commited our member, Shiwei's birthday! It was a birthday that he would remember as this was the first time that some of us celebrated his birthday for him in a such a place (The Subordinate Court) with so many people surrounding us. After that, I had to head home as I had to reach church by 9am that day as it was a Sunday.

I attended service on New Year's Day and went to fellowship with members after that. I was supposed to serve for Chinese Church service at Jurong West but had to turn it down as I would be having an interesting wedding function to attend at, guess where? SENTOSA!

It was a Holy Matrimony of my ex-member, Eugene, which was held at the beach near Shangri-La Hotel. This was the first time I attended a beach Holy Mat. When we were Singing praise and worship, the beach-goers around us were looking at us and watching us "perform". Halfway through, it started raining cats and dogs. Everyone rushed into the hotel lobby, some of us drenched from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. Clothes were bought and changed before continuing with the ceremony in a small funcion room of the lounge. After that, it was buffet time! We had fun eating and fellowshipping as we had not been catching up with one another since we went our separate ways to other cell groups.

After that, Sandy, Mich(elle), Yingjie, Jasper, Michelle and myself took a shuttle bus to City Hall and went to Suntec City for a walk. Matthew joined us later. (He regretted not joining us in the shuttle bus as it was a last min thing that we decided to go for a short shopping spree.) There, we helped Yingjie to change his look (he wanted a new look for the new year.) Then, we went to Starbucks for coffee and a chat. There, we were giving suggestions on how to change his looks and suddenly Jasper got pulled into the picture. We suggested that Jasper should change to contact lenses as he had a nice pair of eyes or at least change his specs.

As for myself, my Certified Accountancy Technician (CAT) course finally started on 4th Jan at Singapore Accountancy Academy. Lessons would be on Wednesdays and Thursdays evenings, so for the next two and a half months pls don't disturb me ok... heeheehee... ;P
