abt myself
Me? A pretty talkative person, haha!! I love playing computer games, particularly because I love cars. I am not a very good subject opener when I'm in conversation, so basically when you talk to me, there'll be some moment in silence, and a few seconds later, I'd talk about absolutely nothing in common that we just spooke, haha!! That's why I'm a boring person, if I get to describe one of my attributes. My English ain't that great either, so that's probably one of the main reason... =P

Woah!!
Woah!! So much things happened today!! Well, not exactly a lot, but I think it is, haha!
Firstly, my 'jie' came back to school, YAY!! Yup, Cynthia came visit us today. Was so happy to see her back. Hope she's doing A-OK. :)
WAH!! So happy! 7 months of guitaring lesson and practice has finally been put to good use!!! I couldn't be happier! :)
Well, first of all, Chapel. Today was the first time I played for Chapel in my whole life in St. Francis, haha! Finally get to contribute something.. I played the guitar today to 2 songs: Blessed Be Your Name and Glory. I've always wanted to contribute something for my school in any way possible. Today was the day. I think that's how God wanted it to go, although this wasn't exactly my plan.
But anyway, I think it went well! Pretty nervous in the first place.. My leg was shaking, and I kept thinking in my mind what if I dropped my pick when I'm halfway playing? I do have the tendency of dropping my pick when strumming. Thankfully today, it didn't happen. For the first song, Blessed Be Your Name, I can safely say that I played without any glitch. The drumming from Marcus also was very well co-ordinated and synchronised. I was so surprised at myself for pulling through the first song with SO MANY pairs of eyes staring at us, including Mr Chang. Now, Mr Chang was the one who put me in the guitaring, so he expects something from me. After that it was Glory. Now, this song was just a pure toughie. The chords for this song confuses me so much despite how basic the keys were.. It's been worrying me throughout the morning, even during Chapel time! Even after so much practices, I still screw up anyway. Right after the second pre-chorus, I was so nervous because it was the first time the worship team sung that song, and they weren't really familiar with the song. I just kept looking at Tasha's hands for signals that I forgot to switch chords!! I lost track of the song!!! But I just kept playing E and A, and the drum backed it up. Phew!! Thanks man!! =)
But I heard from some that when the drums begin after the second song, my guitaring wasn't loud enough. Guess I was too tired, heh! Both songs were pretty up-tempo, so strumming has to be fast. But I'm just glad that it all went well. After Chapel, for the first time, I got so many congratulations replies, including one from Mr Ian, haha! Very unexpected. I'd like to thank Mr Chang, Ms Sarah and Kevin for the opportunity. Not forgetting Marcus, my guitar 'shi fu'. He taught me at the beginning of this year from super basic, absolutely zero knowledge, with so much patience. If it wasn't for him I don't think I'd be able to pluck a single note even, haha! Thanks a million bro!! I really appreciate it! :)
I MET DENISE KELLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)Next thing that happened totally came as a sudden for me, REALLY.. We met Denise Keller, that MTV VJ and Eye For A Guy II bachelorette, at the nost unexpected place, EVER: at the Hillview area when walking to the bus stop!! Marcus and I were on our way home and we decided to take 963 to Woodlands because it's faster. Then as we walked, I noticed someone who is SOOOO familiar. She was with a camera man, posing and taking picture at the weirdest place ever, and there she was with her WIDE smile (yes, she has a wide mouth. She even said it herself), and looking extremely, errm, white.. I then called her name, and she said, "What's up?" I then shook her hand, and said, "Have a great day!".. She then waved at both of us while walking to the bus stop. I was so hyper after that, that I kept jumping like a mad person over there, haha! Marcus didn't really know how to react when he met her, so he just kept quiet, haha! When we were at the bus stop, I saw Denise going into the condo at Hillview. Now we know where she lives, heh!! I should have taken a picture with her, but it was already too late.. But still, I got to meet her, FACE to FACE!! :)
That's all for today. Sorry for the long update. =p
p.s: Sorry if I sound to BHB today.. Abit hyper after what had happened today. ^_^
