I baked cupcakes with ze today!! (: Many "miracles" happened while we were preparing the ingredients. I didn't have to buy anything extra! Ze had a bad day with vocabs today. It was amazing to a certain extend. At first, the cupcaked looked very watery before it was "fried" but after that, it started to smell! And there was a volcano bump. It was a good sign to us. (: After that, we realised that the "meat" of the "cake" wasn't very well cooked. So we had to bake it again, and again, and again! Actually, that's about all. It turned out to be very "elastic" and nice! Addictive.

2008 is coming to an end. ): I shall arrange the countries I've been to, besides Singapore, in the order favourite to --> not my favourite

1.America!
2. Germany
3. Australia
4. Switzerland
5. Thailand
6. Malaysia
7. Vietnam
8. China
9. Hong Kong
10. Bali, Indonesia
11. Cambodia

I don't know why I put Cambodia at the bottome. ): I had many fond memories there but.. it's just not as nice as the others I guess.

Ohwell, Strings outing tomorrow!!

Feeling a little bit excited. (: And really hope it doesn't rain.

I'm back! From Malaysia!! I didn't even know which part of Malaysia I went. Just went there relunctanly with my parents, grandparent's and my dad's company staff. What did I do? Play Mahjong, read, stare, burn things, eat, sleep. Actually, nothing much. But I was a helpful camera man!

My uncle/grandpa/staff

That's all!! I was practising piano just now and as usual, I was practising the "Funeral March" from chopin. It was around 9.45pm, I was afraid that I might get complains. Didn't close my windows, and didn't put in any effort to play a little softer. So I was wondering if any superstitious chinese family would come up and ask me to stop. But instead, a group of people started clapping and shouting "Bravo!" when I finished playing. Actually, I didn't even finish playing!! Just got bored. It was still amusing though!! The last time I got my clapping was two years ago when I was practising Rhapsody In Blue. And another 2 times last year when I was practising violin. Heh. But I didn't expect a "Bravo!" for funeral march!! I was so shocked that I stopped practising and played Bach instead. (: Heee. Something interesting!! (:

It's Christmas!! Which means it's my mom's birthday!!

How did I celebrate christmas this year? Limze asked me what I was going to do for Christmas about 3 weeks ago. And I said "Practice" but I didn't mean it. However, it came true. I ended up spending my morning practising and part of my afternoon practising too. Sari went back to Indonesia today. I got a new maid! She's gentle.

I'm terribly bored and worried. I'm always bored and worried. Worried about sec 4 life and worried about my life. But I shouldn't be worrying!! But I can't help worrying about o'levels. I keep imagining myself failing o'levels. Nevermind, I'll just retake o'levels when I fail. Or go overseas or pretend I'm a retard. Maybe I am!! That should explain my stupidity.

How miserable. I'm self contradicting. Played Chopin's funeral march many times today. Probably cause it's a beautiful piece or I feel like dying.

):

Merry Christmas.

I'm back from Bali!! It wasn't as nice as I expected.. ): So I was quite disappointed. The waters weren't that clear but the waves were strong! However, I didn't get a chance to try surfing. ): Anyway, at least I got to go overseas!

My parents took off their specs! So that the monkeys wouldn't steal their specs or caps. The picture below shows a monkey who took someone's cap.

Milo's store!

And another beach.

Sunset.

Volcano. The fog was about to cover everything. and soon, it became...

Like this!

Had lunch there the next day.

My resort's view.

Went to turtle island the next day. I was so disappointed to see that the turtles were not swimming wildly but they were caught and put inside this place where tourists can go and see, touch the turtles.

So that's me and my mom! My mom was sooo scared. I pity the turtles.

There're going to be more pictures of me with cool animals!!

My dad and I! Playing this water sport called "fly fish" we're the ones wearing a blue life jacket. It was pretty exciting!!

See the black spot? We were flying!! My dad and I almost fell down.

That's us!

Visited anoher temple after that.

That's the temple! Made from a rock.

That's all I've got!!

Hello!! I think forgot to post about milo saving presto. The whole inccident happened when I wasn't at home. My dad told me that someone accidentally let Presto (the hamster) out and then he went missing. So my dad instructed my maid to find Presto, since he had to go out for dinner. So, my maid took milo on the leash and walked him around the house and son enough, milo spotted presto and started barking at him!! How interesting!! So, once again, the day is saved, thanks to... MILO!

And, I've something else that's interesting! Yesterday, I had to play for my church's adults choir. Before the service started, the choir was suppose to sing an opening song. And I didn't know that they were supposed to sing this opening song! And just before they went up on stage, one of the members told me to get ready. Then I asked her what I was suppose to play, then she showed me the score with no piano part. So I stared at it and asked, "What's that?" And she said, "you don't have to score?" And I replied, "I've never played it before-" She passed me her score and quickly follwed the other members up on stage while I went to the piano. So, I asked the people around me, does anyone know how to play this? And guess what! No one knew!! Of course, I started to panic. Coincidentally, there was no conductor on that they too. So the choir members starting turning back and queing me to start. So I decided to press a D note since the first note was a D. When I pressed it, instead of singing they opened their files. So I figured out that that note was a queue to open their files. Then one member turned back and mouthed, introduction. I didn't even know what the introduction was!! The last line didn't even make sense to me!! So, I played the first line as introduction. I actually had to improvise on the spot!! Soon enough, they finished the song and I managed to improvise well enough I guess. Since they didn't stop at all.. So it was altogether a phew!!! I've never experienced something that last minute before. Improvising something that I've never heard infront of so many people. And a choir. Phew!!! I couldn't have done it without God's help!! After that, I accompanied them for another song, which was well prepared and I went off for sunday class. After class, I went back for another rehearsal with them and that was when I realised, I was supposed to accompany the choir for another song before the service ended!! Instead of going for sunday school!! How embarrassing!! But no one stopped me then.. so.. yeah. Just did what my conscience told me to do.

Last friday, I went to east coast with ze! Went there just to roller blade and take pictures!

Our slippers!

Ze's blade.Mine.The tree!That's us with the tree!

Anyway, my tagboard will be back once I change my blog url. (:
