Cobwebs

I am seriously neglecting this space huh?

I'm updating my facebook so often I hardly ever post anything here any more. But... it could be a good thing?

Remember I once said that I noticed that I tended to blog when I was upset.. or frustrated.. or just plain mad?

Blogging less could mean that I'm actually happier - at least for now. Life is full of ups and downs. Call me skeptical, but it is true that a bout of happiness only lasts that long before something comes and slaps you in the face to remind you of the reality we're in.

So I'm savouring the moments when I can. Mkaing sure I lick up every happy moment and remember it, treasure it.. before it slips away and the down swing hits.

And when it does, I'll have this space, and I'll also be able to remember that the pendulum will swing upwards again if I push hard enough.

The CNY break has been a good one. Using this chance to meet up with as many people as I can. I love doing that so much.

AND...

My notation software is FINALLY working again!
That means I can arrange music for flutes again!
Next performance: 24 Feb
Haven't practised in a damn long time. Going to be a formal event.. unfortunately our repertoire is only so limited. Sigh. I really hope to be able to boost it up much more.

I still haven't figured out what I should do if I'd like them published. argh. In the meantime, I'll just focus on writing more so we have a wider choice of selections.

Anyone wanna hire a flute quartet for their wedding/corporate event/etc? Heeheehee! Call KAZE! Through me!!!

All ritey. Enough talk for now. Time for bed.
Whoever's reading: GONG XI FA CAI and happy chinese new year!

Parting shot to those who miss Kiki..

Back & busy

Nothing new huh? I'm busy again.

Work is of course taking up the big bulk of it. But I have to admit my BF too. I'm not complaining about the time I'm spending with him because it is really wonderful, but I am really hoping to have more time to meet up with other people as well.

I'm glad I've been trying to arrange that so ... at least that takes off a little bit.

I've got a lot on my mind, and I would really like to write them all out but it's so hard to when I'm so tired.

There's so much to say yet so little time.. and sometimes I have problems expressing what I mean. I'm much better writing but .. it just takes much longer.

Don't be mistaken. I'm not complaining about my blessed life, or that I am unhappy. But I even the happiest of people do have thoughts that run through a working brain.

Just time for the brain and heart to have a good little exchange.

Ah well. I'm just going to have to find time. Plain and simple.

I AM BAAACK!

Yep! I'm back in Sunny SIngapore!!!
Where the sun does not set at 4:30pm, and the indoors are always colder than out.

There's something invigorating about travelling so far to experience something so entirely different from what you are used to for the past 26 years.

I had always been the lucky kid amongst my circle of friends - having at least been able to step out of Singapore and see other lands. Not like some rich people who have travelled all over and may not appreciate the opportunity.

When I travel, I'm interested in how life is like there. What it means to live in that city. How things work there, the systems, rules, norms. Of course there are all the sights and sounds, and tastes.

What I got out of 14 days in Germany was fantastic. I saw how different things were in the cities, the village, etc. Of course, language was a big problem but having my personal tour guide was the best.

His parents brought us around so much, and we had fun with his friends there too. I don't know how else to put it through but it was absolutely wonderful. I might even say it was perfect!!! :O)

Ah. Alas, nothing lasts forever.

Tomorrow is back to work. Feels as if it is the first day of work for me (like I'm starting a new job or something).

Plenty of new challenges to tackle this week.

Life is going to be back to normal for now. But plans are already being made for April and October as I type this.

Photos on facebook - though there's more to come..... heehee!
