it's been 5 months....
it's been 5 months since i've last updated my blog, so i guessed it's high time i do it now... here's a very very very brief snapshot of what i've been through for the past 5 months...
We organised a family day outing to Kranji-Lim Chu Kang farm area. I can see that the kids really enjoyed themselves very much.
I volunteered at a charity bazaar organised by Kampung Senang Geylang.
Finally went to Japan! Thanks to Kevin for the free accommodations, really saved a lot! I'll definitely go back there again.
The muses finally took part in the Asia Pacific Harmonica Festival held in Singapore for the first time. And to our delight, we clinched the Gold award in the ensemble category, which was a way much better achievement than we orginally had expected of ourselves.

Soiree 2010's finally over...
Soiree 2010 was filled with all excitements and dissappointments as well.
This is the first time I performed in victoria concert hall and i tell myself that i'll not go back to that place anymore. firstly the acoustic of the hall was terrible. listening quality was optimum at some areas and atrocious at the others. the mic-ing has tonnes of limitations as well. next, the backstage was so small that it really look like the squatters you've read in history books. think i shall stop here, else the list will go on and on.
so what about our orchestra performance? i shall leave it for our conductor to comment.
pink panther? mmm....mixed feelings and feedbacks i guessed. some of the audience loved it, coz it's jazzy and very different from the other repertoire. some felt that it's not jazzy enough. however, for the five of us, it's finally over after 2 months of tormenting experience of high expectations from the conductor and getting together to practise as the schedule's really very tight on every one of us. i personally can take a breather as this is the most stressful recital performance i've ever experienced. i've never felt so low in confidence before that i nearly lost my passion in harmonica music. the rest is history.
our next objective: asia pacific harmonica festival!

Thanks a lot guys...
Thanks a lot to all my friends and loved ones who remembered my birthday. i was so overwhelmed by all the wishes either through facebook, smses and phonecalls. appreciate it very much and i really treasure it a lot...
even though my dear wasn't able to be here with me on my birthday, but her thoughts' always with me. 3 days before she left for vietnam, she passed me my birthday present- an 18-page scrapbook bearing all our memories for the past 2months. i was really very touched *of course i didn't tear* was so amazed by the details of every pages, the hard work and thoughts put in.
in the morning before i was about to do my business plan presentation, my sales manager, brand managers and medical advisor, came into the office with this birthday cake and birthday song. i was so surprised and shy at the same time, coz i'm not someone who celebrate my birthday.
