On the 12th day of Xmas,

6 bowls of laksa,
5 kong bak pau!!
4 char kway teow,
3 orh luah,
2 ham jim peng,
And a siew mai on a char shao pau!!

So... ... are you hungry yet? Haha... Now you know why I laughed my head off during the song.

And it's also the reason why Denny's high cholesterol will shoot even higher. All the unhealthy food...

=D

And oh yeah... please DO NOT rip off the lyrics. Make your own 12 days of xmas (whatever version you like), just change the lyrics (that's what JT says) and voila! you have your own edition of 12 days of xmas =)

What a crazy Xmas

I just found out that Nao, like me, received a very precious Xmas present from his friends.A miniature drumset.

What a coincidence, don't you think? This year's Xmas is so special all of a sudden. Receiving presents you never thought you'd receive. Haha... my grand piano and his drumset. Put them together and you get the greatest musician of all time, isn't it so, Yosh? Haha...

I'm really happy for Nao =) I understand his jubilation. I can feel it, even though we are in different countries right now. The joy of receiving the grand piano has yet to dissipate, haha.

Merry Xmas to all my friends

細谷先生's house visit

There's so many things to talk about today. And I can't write them in Japanese - that would be tantamount to asking for my life. Not to mention I'd most probably take a whole lifetime to finish this entry which will most probably not even be finished by the time I die (-.-")

Alpha is here. Ok, that's not the point. Haha...

Sensei was a really great host, haha. And oji-chan is a really quiet dog. I think Brownie and oji-chan should meet up one day. They are exact opposites, and hopefully, they will teach each other some things and improve each other's character. We just kept talking, and she even invited us to go over again when we are free.

Man... if that's the case, I'll be there everyday! Lmao.

Sensei was telling us about how weak and non-chalant oji-chan is. Once when she lost her keys, the security guard had to squeeze in through the tiny bathroom windows and open the door for her from the inside. And the whole time round, oji-chan was just lying there, watching as the security guard "broke in" and not giving a single bark at all. Lol.

Brownie, please teach oji-chan to fly at strangers, ok? Lol...

And I really do wanna go over again. Haha. Sensei is gonna teach me to cook Japanese cuisine! Woohoo! Taka, read this? I'm preparing to become a housewife already... lol. I don't mind doing cleaning her house for her in exchange for learning to cook =P And I certainly don't mind taking care of oji-chan while she and her husband are overseas =PP

I can't believe I spoke Japanese the whole day today. Man, what a killer. Especially when Sensei called me to ask me where we were. I stupidly answered the phone with a "もしもし". Then I immediately went, "DIE!" in my heart. Because that very first greeting determined the language I would be speaking in. Oh man... And indeed... I was struggling to speak in Japanese over the phone. The waiter whom we passed by must have thought I was some weirdo, or we were all foreigners. Haha... Oh man... So embarrassing.

Next time, remind me to answer the phone in English instead.

And so we started talking...

About music. And the topic went on to the time he was in LA.

It was really interesting. And I learned new things from that conversation.

Turn your confidence into certainty. Everybody loses some things at times, but they also learn new things. What matters is that you learn from those setbacks, and grow. And as you become more confident about yourself and your skills and standard, don't just stop there. Confidence can be shattered easily, as I found out.

It's a whole new level for me, and I will try to go past that level of confidence to that level of certainty.

The amount of ink I had to use to handwrite all the intros and parts where I was playing the melody into scores to prevent myself from playing wrong notes. And also to help myself remember all my little fills. Scary, I think so... The white keys on my piano all turned to black (@_@)
