EMO SONG ON THE ROLL!
Just a very nice emo song to share and remember and learn how to sing!
逞强by 插班生！
Anyway, teaching was rather nice today!
Darius said he would draw me a card one day! (I hope it will come though I'm only teaching him for another 3 lessons?). A cute and mischievous boy who is only 4.5 years old and loves stickers a lot!

Life of a Graduate!
2 1/2 years in SIM-RMIT. Sounds long but actually it's not. At least, in just a blink of an eye (one of my favourite sentences during primary/secondary school composition!), I'm now a graduate and yes nearing to the next chap of my Life: Work.
No doubt, many have commented schooling is normally the best part of Life. You are (usually) provided for and you get to play and of course, you have to do your part as well. Always fear exams, but love the process of learning new things. Guess I'm one of those typical students right? Who likes exams and projects anyway? (You must be weird if you say you do! =S)
Life as a Uni undergrad, from a loner in class to a group of 3, to a group of 6 and to a row of more than 10 people belonging to the same clique, I'm quite sure this is the most memorable part of my Uni Life. Never did I expect myself to have so many friends. Though they aren't as close as those from Sec/Poly, they sure are VERY nice people. We shared updates on results or enrollment related issues, and now on tips or views in finding a job. These people aren't selfish at all and I'm glad to have known them.

My gang of 6! Zhi han, Zhuo Hwa, Ning Zhi, Karen, Josephine and ME!
And these awesome 3, Amanda, Wan Ting, Naomi
These girls belonged to the other class =/
But actually I'm glad they are. I'm sure things happened for a reason.
And I guess for mine is to make me independent.
I remembered crying over being afraid of not grouping with anyone or with people who don't do any work and my brother assured me that things would naturally fall in place.
And yes, it really did.
Thanks to you guys! Or I wouldn't be able to pull through like what I've done!
And yes, I'm now a graduate, embarking on a new journey this Friday!
Arvato Digital Services. I'm not sure I'm ready or not, but I'll do my best and make things work! =D

Let it go if you have to.
Saw this post on Facebook and found it meaningful, so I'm here to document it!
A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything."
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!
And ya, 人都是矛盾的！
When I don't have any job offers, I 烦。Now that I got a job offer, I 烦 too! Why like that!?
Anyway, pay isn't bad, just that location is more than an hour away =/ How?
I also don't know how =(
Anyway, shall relax for tonight and let it bother me on Sunday! 好吧，就这样！

29th January. A day filled with memories!
GOOD NEWS! Today! Emmanuel called and told me YANG HAN IS TRANSFERRING BACK TO ME!!! <3 <3 <3 Love this boy, and was so happy because I'm touched by the fact that he changed his swimming lessons for piano lessons. Really touched leh, to have someone to 'like' you.
I guess I understand how the girl I have taught for a lesson requested to change back to her original teacher. Guess it takes time and courage to have a change in children's environment!
Anyway! Mum did some cleaning up for the cupboard in Dad and Bro's room. Basically it's our stationery cupboard and it contains all these!!
The one on the left was during Lake Odyssey Chung Cheng's anniversary. We performed at the orchestra pit. Nice performance I would say, and we spent lots of time preparing for it!
My precious erasers which saw me through 'wars' with my brothers.
We used to name ourselves according to the 3 kingdoms in the famous 三国演义
魏吳蜀
Weiqi always wins this game while Weikai always have the least erasers! Haha somehow I remembered him having 14 of them!
Well! Piles of christmas cards that I bought! LOL!
THEY ARE ALL SO CUTE AND PRETTY!!!
And I always like to buy them, but only used a few of them! HAHAHA!
Keychains that I made during home econs lessons! So nice right!?
Anyway it all happened on 29 Jan. And you know what? It's snoopy's birthday!
Happy Birthday my dear boy!
I still remember the scene where my 2nd brother and I were depicting that your mummy gave birth to you on that very day! 29 Jan 1997. You are 16!!
A day as a Cello Bass Instructor.
OHHH! This is a must tell!
In TP, I used to teach Yang Qin, GuZheng though I know close to nuts about them! I mean.. I don't know these instruments well but I was 'forced' to teach as there's no instructors available during the day of practice.
Well.. actually I'm pretty glad about this.. coz it encouraged me to venture and learn more about the unknown on the spot!
And YES! Hahaha! Last wed, 23 Jan, I went to teach Greenridge Primary School CELLO BASS!! Wow! that was the least expected! Haha! Actually I was supposed to do conducting at Holy Innocent (LOL EVEN LOUDER). Then on the day when the in-charge came to pick me up.. he told me there's a change of plans and that I'm going to Greenridge (at Bukit Panjang) to teach CB! Well and I think he's kinda expecting me to say okay without asking if I know Cello/Bass! Haha!
Well, but it went well.. Just that the kids are kinda active and they are always fidgeting and asking tons of questions! But at least, there's this girl, Jessie Boo (a P6 Bass player) who offered me seat and is the most sensible among all. I guess she's the president or da jie over there!
Kids there were:
Jeven (a pri1 boy who's very shy with a very low cello coz the stand was spoilt)
Joshua Tan (quite clever I would say, and he told me a girl farted during dazu.. and asked me to find who that person is.. But in the first place.. HOW DID HE KNOW WHETHER IT'S A GIRL/BOY?)
Oh no, there's this boy whom I forgot his name.. he's the most active cellist. But I find them the most talented among all!
Qifang (Bassist) A very quiet girl whom I didn't even get to interact with! =S
Too bad it's like almost 1.5 - 2 hrs away from my house, or I would go teach more often! =D
And here's a photo of your beloved Cello/Bass Teacher! =D
And with all the happy bunch of Cello/Bass TPCO Monsters!!
MBS Staycation on 27th Jan

吃得饱，睡的好，就是一种幸福！
说得好！
我二零一三的愿望！
Been feeling grumpy these days. I guess the thought of having to find a job is making me restless. Hopefully I'll find a job asap and cont enjoying the remains for my holidays in peace.
And ya, and practice hard for my piano performance. This is crazy. I'm not even half prepared. How to perform?
But I'm sure I can do it! No failures allowed.
*prays that I will find one soon*
