woke up at abt 5pm... cos i slept at 5am in the morning...

shiok.... hibernating again....
my favourite past-time~

hahahah~
i'm not been called a bear for nothing...

so got up, took a shower...
and left my house to go to my cousin's wedding...

didnt went to the church thingy in the morning..
but saw slide show of the church pics at the hotel ballroom...

normal church ceremony, but he was dressed in his pressed RSAF LTA no.1 uniform..
and aft the ceremony while walking down the aisle, going out of the church,
there's the sword bearers(barriers), at each stop, he had to perform a task or answer a question....

then the wedding was a rather quiet event compared to my colleague jonathan's one...
maybe it was just us saf bands pple been noisy....
or my cousin's rsaf buddies not at the dinner...

cos only like got 2-3tables screaming the trad. 3 yum seng...
so i was placed at table 17 with 2 of my aunties' families, with my 6 other cousins... all females... stress~

hahahah~

last time i saw them was at CNY'04 i tink...
then heard from my cousin wendy tt my mum might be flying back to S'pore in dec again for visiting~

then the courses came n went...
the food not bad~

and oh, it was held at the Trader's Hotel....
just besides tanglin mall....

then the dinner ended ard 1030pm..
then i say my good byes to my uncles, aunties, my por por~

n my cousin's mum who nv see mi for so long was happy to see mi..
can remember last time young when my mum comes back to s'pore, she will stay with my this cousin's family...
my cousin's dad which is my mum's only brother...
but sadly, my uncle passed away when he met an accident during his overseas attachment to Indonesia...
my uncle was a warrant officer in the RSAF
tt happened when i was saf band training wing...
tt's abt in 1998?

so eversince then my aunt have been taking care of my cousin n his brother...
n i nv get to see this aunty till today~

so happy that 1 of her son is now happily married, my cousin's speech, contains many thanks to pple who helped out in the planning of the wedding... but his biggest thank you was reserved to the last, n he thanked his mum... for taking care of him.... esp. single handedly aft his dad has left the family....
and he says his dad, now in heaven, shld be looking down upon and feeling happy for them now~
and with tt brought tears of joy to my aunt's eyes~

aft dinner, walked round tanglin mall...
so much memories from there...
cos it was near my old camp...

the dinner session with my camp buddies, or the que-ing outside macdonald's during the hello kitty craze... hahahah~!

well, those were the days my friends~
-as the song title says~!

Hi all,

i'm back~!

wow...
this yr has been really a very hectic one for mi...

i tot i could rest like the previous yrs aft ndp...
like in 2001, i actually took a week break to go thailand...

haiz...

the groups tt i'm in all having performances/concerts almost one aft another...

aft the sat performance at the orchard mrt park...

on the 8th Sept...
i have the Singapore Trombone Choir's Inaugural Concert..

i would say the concert is a huge success to us...
the audience did responded well to our gimmicks n stunts...

we were rather unsure whether our taste of humour is in the local audience's flavour....

well, as i mentioned in the earlier blog, the trb choir was a success also cos we sold all 190 of our selling tickets.... n out of the 55 reserved for the invited guests n vips, more then half of them actually turned up...

hmm, it's great when a new group have support like that from you guys,

i would like to thanks all those who got their tickets thru me, all who helped to push the sales of the tickets~! arigato~! ^_^'

those who called but couldnt get ticket, we trying to come out with audio(cd) n video(dvd) recording of the concert....
those interested in getting a copy, pls email to singaporetrombonechoir@hotmail.com ...

yes, the choir have a temp email : singaporetrombonechoir@hotmail.com ...

this email add, u can use it to add into ur msn msg-er, friendster

and our temp website is http://singaporetrbchoir.multiply.com/ , Yes, it's the multiply.com thingy...
it's quite useful actually...

can use it as a webpage, a event advertiser....... a choir blog? hmmm.... hahahaha...
will post more pics into it.....

then on the 11th sept, the cc tt the choir is based at had their official opening ceremony, the guest of honour is our present PM Lee ....

didnt noe tt my blog has more readers besides fen-dear~! i went to philyouth in-house concert at la salle, i went to the 2nd show @ 7pm....
i help 2 of my frens to do a video recording of the concert...
aft the concert, spoke to some of the py members, then one of the trb guy told me tt he couldnt get tics to the choir concert... then i ask him how he knew abt the concert, he said he got it off my blog.... hmmm.... ok~

so pls, readers, frens or foreign visitors, do leave a mark in my tagboard b4 u leave this page... leave mi a note or 2.... i'm just curious to noe who i'm reaching to now~ ^_^"

eversince i starting blogging early this yr.... i tot only sueanne, fjozn n fenz was my only readers, n fenz been the most regular one cos she left her marks in my tagboard.... guess i forgot... this is the internet... pple walk in n out all the time without leaving much of a trace that they were here there or wad....
i feels worse then a prostitute.... although she doesnt noe who's she's serving most of the time, but at least she noe wad they look like~ -_-"

ok guess that's was some crap....

nyway~

fenz, i'm doing alrite... didnt noe u missed mi tt much... i tot u started sch liaoz then busy... n now exam period i tot u also not free tt's y i didnt really sms u at nite now~
do i seems like i always troubled or got problems tt i can't solve?

i tink i'm one of the most carest-freest bummer tt i noe in my life... in my circle of frens....

i got a great job, pay's ok, my bunk now is damn cooling at nite, my rm at home is air-con, i got a gf, i got u(fenz), i got my own bass bone, i got so many new toys now, my powerbook, my ipod, my comics n stuffs....

doubt there's much tt could affect my life, mood....
unless it's sad news, devastating news... like deaths, break-ups, theft, loss, bankruptcy...

nah, i'm doing fine....
in a world we're in now, how many actually could say tt they're doing fine...

ok, it's late...
i'm seriously crapping now~

lol~! ^_^~

well, till my next blog~

seeya~!
^_^
