my life in point form:
- internet and phone was down over the weekend cause of a blackout.. didn’t feel so isolated after all =) thankful for deep friendships.
- jazz band had first rehearsal last week, playing bass in a jazz trio is fun! might take a while to adjust. hope it goes well over next few weeks
- performed you and me in our college soiree.. learnt that i have lots to learn about performing, especially how to handle well-dones and good-jobs.. made me reflect on why i actually perform. for my own recognition, or so others might enjoy it and have a good time? it’s sometimes hard to be genuine when i sing, and not think at the back of my head whether i’m just trying to show off
- really getting into conducting, not good at it yet, but it’s something i’d look into. fantastic role to play, when music becomes more than the technical know-hows of depressing the black and white keys, even though that’s fantastic on it’s own, but having an orchestra as an extension of your body, your eyes and physical gestures. =) should be really fulfilling, looking forward to it
- first time writing a devotion/article; it was for the easter period, mini-published in our ocf 2:7 bulletin. thanks khai for the opportunity for me to flex some brain muscles. click for a read
- khai agreed to lend me his pentax until easter, might learn up some photography over the week
- went with kat to the most unique of japanese restaurants in the city for dinner on saturday, hako on degraves street! the venue is only slightly larger than my room! they managed to cram 8 tiny tables in there, really cozy and homy atmosphere. the food was simply to die for.
being our first time there, we didn’t know whether we should open the door and ask for a table, because there weren’t even any space to move between tables! there’s a table right in front of the door too, might be disconcerting having someone stand over your food.. eventually someone noticed us waiting and gave up their table for us =) i had no idea how the other patrons left during our meal, they just disappeared silently without even touching my chair.
the culture in melbourne is just amazing =) i really find it perplexing when i ask others about what they like most about singapore/malaysia, and they say the people are friendly and genuine. what? err?
- forgot how fun it was shopping, only intended to hide from the rain in david jones but ended up leaving with a pair of jeans. don’t worry mum that’s all i bought, the one i usually wear already has a hole in it.
- yep this entry looks like it’s just filling space huh. but i guess it sort of reflects my state of mind for the week, just casual, a little indifferent, just sailing through

happy conducting!
get you that little stick thingy for Christmas? 
and enjoy writing that devotional.. it’s good training and pretty exciting to expound on God’s word and let Him use it to impact others. Humbling that God intends to use mere us…
So hows shootin’?
hehe baton? =D i don’t have one.. but later ler, see if i have any opportunity to use it first? or else it’d be quite embarassing =p haha.. professor was saying that it’s not that necessary anyway =) thanks for the thought!
shooting’s fun, i think will take time out tomorrow before ocf to go out and find stuff to shoot =) might maybe get ideas off you later
i would say it’s food.
i want to move out for awhile. and i always wonder if i’ll be the same when i’m back, especially since you’ve changed so much being in melbourne.
