Chinese Orchestra

On the 21st October 2008, I had my first ever musical performance!! Although it wasn't anything big, just a performance for UTP Raya dinner, it was definitely something thrilling and memorable to me. Mind you, I used to think that I'm a music and tempo retard. And honestly, I still think I am. A million thanks to the senior who guided me patiently through every single notes and believed in me despite how clumsy I seemed with the instrument.


The instrument I play is called zhong ruan.
The guy next to me is called Jochim. He instrument he's holding is da ruan.


The only 3 juniors asked to join in the performance. *proud* hehe
But I know it's entirely by God's grace that I was given this chance. I seriously still can't relate myself to music.
The girl in the middle was my mortal when we played the angel game during the orientation.


The 1st guy from the right is the senior who taught me and Jochim.
Heis crazy. He can play zhong ruan, da ruan, er hu, liu qin, cello and a little of di zhi. And he learnt all these after he came to UTP!!!

The guy in black is our conductor.

This might seem a little over rated for some, but I truly am happy that I got involved in the Chinese Orchestra. I still remember the futile effort I put on guitar. God has an amazing way of giving us what we want. He knows the love I have for Chinese culture and the craving I had to learn an musical instrument, and ta da!!! He introduced me to Chinese Orchestra =P
I love you, Lord... wish I can hug you... *HUGS*


*so merlvyn, this answer your Qs? =P

Perfect Lover

Hmmm.... this wasn't what I planned to post this morning, but since the internet is so slow that I couldn't upload any pics, I decided to do this instead >.<

Tagged by Lee Shing, had to blog 8 Points About My Perfect Lover
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. The tagged victims have to come up with eight different points of his/her perfect lover.
2. Have to mention the gender of his/her perfect lover.
3. Tag eight other victims to join this game and leave a comment on their blog.
4. If you are tagged the second time, there’s no need to do this AGAIN.
5. Lastly, most importantly, HAVE. FUN. DOING. IT.

Okie, straight to the point.
*The points are given randomly and not ranked. So the first is not the most important and vice versa. Because I find all these points important!!!

1# He MUST be taller than me. No matter how cute or good looking the guy is, if he's less than 5cm taller than me, he loose all appeal. I must be able to 'look up to him' physically ba.....

2# He must be hug-able, with body built slightly bigger than mine, so he can wrap me in his embrace when I need to lean on him. Skinny guys are a real turn-off.

3# He must be able to make me laugh/smile, especially when I'm stressed. I'm easily pressured when I'm loaded with tons of work, so he must be able to ease my strain.

4# He should seem high and mighty to the world, but must be willing to do stupid and crazy stuff with me, because that's the life I enjoy, to be impulsive, naughty and adventurous. He needs to be mature, but willing to do immature stuff with me. I find that real sweet =)

5# He must be able to connect or mix with my best friends. My gang is very important to me.

6# There are times that I can be really stubborn, naive, ignorant, or just feel like throwing tantrum. He needs to be able to tolerate with that and knows that I still love him. Love me with all your heart and I'll love you more than that.

7# Musical involvement. Actually, this is not a must, but it is a super bonus marks if he can play any musical instrument, preferbly a guitar. There's nothiing like a guy dedicating a song to you on the stage, singing and playing the guitar himself. Or composing a song for me. Will really sweep me off my feet.

8# Must be God-fearing. Naturally, he has to be a Christian. Our relationship must bring both of us closer to God and we must walk on God's path.

Tag-tag-tag..... tag who? *evil grin*
1. Edrea!!!(I've sure you can write a beautiful post on this *.^)
2. Liaw
3. Mei Ling
4. Jess(since you haven't done it after lee shiing's tag, i'll tag you again =P)
5. Joan
6. Merlvyn(only guy in the tag. see how your taste differ from the gals ^.^)
~no more people to tag la.... that's all la...~ hehe

Life's Important Guests

It had been a long time since I last met a good coach/senior,
I've forgotten how much difference it makes
How good it feels, to have someone to turn to when I'm stuck somewhere, when all practice seems futile

I'm touched, by your sincerity
I'm determined, by your patience
I'm moved, by your gentle pushing
I'm stabled, by your confidence in me

Thank you for awaking the passion I wasn't aware I had for this
I really enjoy it, and a useful destressing tool
I once thought I'm a total musical retard
Thank you for letting me believe that I can(slightly =P)

It's gonna be hard without you next year, to guide me through every notes and tempos
and show me simpler ways of placing my fingers
But I will GAMBATEH!!!!!


*the first the make a difference in my life was Nai Lin
*later in Taekwon-do, Bartho is another who lit a blaze in me

I'll never forget you too...

HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE SPREAD


This thing is now officially my favorite spread.
I can finish one loaf of bread with just this. Only problem is, it's pure chocolate, in the shape of this bottle. So imagine the amount of chocolate i took to consume the loaf of bread. Good thing is, I don't where I can get a bottle of this thing (tried this at my sister's house), so I can't indulge in it to destress =P

Rotaract Installation Night

20th September was Rotaract of UTP's 9th Installation Night, held in Ipoh City and Contry Club.


I was emcee!!!
It was great fun. However, it's too bad that I did not have time for photo taking. Too only a few after the whole thing was over. Here's some of the photos.

Wondering what I'm doing tying a scarf on my head? Well, the theme was A Scarf and A Tie Affair, and I didn't know what do with my scarf(hanging it anywhere on my body is just plain weird) so I decided to get creative =P


and I ended up looking like a bride = ="


Richard and I =P


This is the Miss Beauty Pagent, SanDee. It was fun hosting the short beauty pagent. Really 'syiok' to be able to make the beauties do weird and funny things, and make them speechless =D


This is my emcee partner, Deven. We really had a blast that night. the only set back was we didn't get to eat much. And the food was delicious too.


This is my favorite photo =D The girls's Yen Ping, my sheperd from Hope of Ipoh. I like the fact that somehow, we look blissful =P

I will post more photos on the night when I get my hands on them. The guitar performances, the breakdances, the beauty pageant, cat walk, and all other events. So keep anticipating!!! haha
