softly, the leaves of memory would fall. slowly, i'll gather and pick them all. 'cos today, tomorrow and till my life is thru', i'll always cherish knowing someone like yu

another 2.25 hrs before the yr ends. think happy thoughts, christine.
yep think i better scribble down some dates.. should my memory fail me in the years to come, i know i'll still have some form of backup.
let's see..
been a while since i've blogged about events.. lala
10 dec - off to shanghai i go.. freaking cold over there.
16 dec - met up with my cousin in shanghai.. and some distant relatives too..
17 dec - back in sg.. in time to catch the prize presentation for the piano & violin comp. funky shangjin's second. the winner of the piano junior category's so darn cute! man i want him! green shirt.. could hardly reach the pedal.. and played beethoven's rondo in C.
18 dec - that's 1812.
19 dec - went to espla.. and got myself franck's prelude chorale et fugue.. mm.. tough cookie to bite.
21 dec - went to moe's place to prac.. haha he forgot abt our date! lala but heck.. at any rate the ss sounded better when played together.. but ah well.. not exactly my cup of tea..
22 dec - went to teach at joanne and jocelyn's place.. and then went to espla to get the eroica variations and ss etude.. dinner at swensens.. funky dessert.. some banana dunno wat in sizzling pan.. and walked arnd orchard after that.
24 dec - my klas came over.. lovely bunch of pple havent seen them in ages.. bridged at my palce.. then went to pasta cafe in the afternoon for lunch..
25 dec - watched kingkong in the afternoon... and then walked around cine and heeren for accessories before finally ending up at the coffee club for dinner. some cute kids kept on waving to us and making funny faces at us.. and i reciprocated. they're just so darn cute.. ugh.. felt like kidnapping them. then they came over and wished us merry xmas.. and yep they took a pic wif us too. nice. and the mom's nice too! xmas hats.. orchard road.. lalala.
28 dec - coda. taught in the afternoon again. and then met up with yeeshen eunice jinxun songwee livia for dinner at carl's jnr. and the flower shopping.. hee. yep fun meeting frens snrs jnrs batchmates. ha felt like playin again.. mm. yep. and yes it was nicenice. frenzied phototaking after that so fun!
29 dec - batch at sentosa.. walked arnd wif weisiong and alex at harborfront before meeting kahhua jinxun songwee at the foodcourt after that. bridged with kh alex and ws.. before we finally made our way to sentosa. bridged for a while more at the room.. before heading down to palawan beach for games.. ultimate frisbee.. and haha our funky captainsball with the captain sitting on the sand. beach volleyball and the playground. dinner at bk.. and then jac eunice shuen and i went around.. pervertising.. ah well.. welcome aboard pervertan. yu've officially joined in the perverts club after being with us that night haha =p yep. fun. but left with kh joseph lum n tengkok at night..
30 dec - social night.. hee interesting.. tho i conclude honesty is not necessarily the best policy -ah what took me so long to realise? bridge should have taught me enough-
31 dec - i spend today rotting at home. not much prac.. not going out.. not counting down.. just me.. and perhaps alcohol? shall see later.
ok enough about recounts. a yr is about to be over.. as usual feeling kinda sombre. looked thru some photos while trying to cook up some stuff which gab's smelling fish abt (hatching smth?) haha.
anw.. yea.. just wondering why people celebrate the coming of a new yr.. ah well maybe i think i try to hold on too much. more like i dun want the year to pass. so many things. memories. happy ones.. not so happy ones. ah well. cant believe it. a yr is almost over. things do change, i've gotta learn to accept.
yep but really thankful for the people around me.. all these while
thanks for enduring my moodswings.. my nonsense
thanks for brightening my life.. and letting me know there are still people who care.. that life still has worth.
thanks for giving me memories.. for giving me dates to remember =p
thanks for just being there..
love ya all my dears =p

been wanting to post. yet everytime i tried, i thought better of it.
haha wondering if anyone still comes to this blog lala. wouldn't mind having more privacy over my own thoughts and feelings.
but ah well..
can't really organise my thoughts.. so guess this post would probably end up as a useless ramble.
many things happened in the yr i guess.. pple change.. ah well.. and i guess i probably did too.
don't know why, but the piano seems to be the only thing on my mind now. call that running away, or just a form of distraction.
obsessed with practising now. gonna make myself a practise freak. good =p when you make yourself totally dependent on an inanimate object, somehow yu know you wont have to depend on people. and yu know since the piano is inanimate, it's there for yu all the time. is that remotely possible? life consists of human interactions, and i know i'm not a solitary person either. mm ah well, i'm curious hee.
interesting. i just want a studio at home.. sound-proofed.. so i can just go on playing the whole day, without having to care abt other stuff.. lala maybe after i struck lottery or sth.
ironically, i cant wait for term to start. getting busy and stuff, i know i'll have less time to think. whatever free time shall be devoted to my piano then.. haha make me into a bot then.. just that this bot would be able to play the piano like a human.. no midi.. yep but other than that.. just piano and sch.. and yea teaching.
bleagh i don't wanna be a human. i wanna be a bot. someone programme me, i'll just perform the functions. i don't wanna think, nor do i wanna feel.. perhaps only when it comes to the piano.

it's here.. finally here. it's strange how yu can look forward to something.. and when the thing comes, yu wish it's not here yet. really hope it'd be something i can look back and remember. and now i feel the compelling urge to do it for someone else more than myself. after what he's done.. really thankful for that. mm hee don't exactly know what's this feeling i'm feeling now. anticipation? mm.. not nervous (yet) and hope i won't be hee. =p lala just this weird feeling in me wish i can play now but seems like it's a lil too early for that. mm.. haha wonder which rendition of the andante spianato it'd be later.. andante spianato et relaxed feel? presto con fuoco (haha don't think that'd ever be the case)? agitato? lala how interesting. hee =p ah well guess romantic music is always an area yu can really express yourself.. whee.
