past week...

Dearest shadow...

its the start of the mid-semester break....and i swear i dont know what i've been doing for the last 6 weeks....floating around i guess....so this is an update for those who think i've been abducted by aliens....

just last friday, i had my first batch of tests and i went to school armed with the books...at last i realised that i need not have bothered to bring them in the first place....the lecturer just sent out the the answers....i looked thru and i feel pretty silly acutally. i need not have overanalysed the questions....i guess simplicity wins everytime....

came back home, slept well, and went for the second test armed again...and guess who i bumped into? jo. i happened to see him at the MRT platform and we recognised each other instantly...seriously, neither of us has really changed in appearance. he's still the same size and yes, i 'm still as skinny as ever...i was surprised that he bothered to acknowledge me...he enquired about me and i enquired about him too...turns out he'll be at NUS....in a few years to come.....i used to be extremely mean with jo actually. he was my home economics partner and he always messed up my cooking...so everytime i make sth, i'll make sure that i do not let him touch the food while cooking...sometimes he's just so annoying...bet suzy will testify to that...right?? oh well....he wished me luck nonetheless...i hope that test turns out well.... :)

last sunday was performance number one....very good performance...i wasnt in the best shape really...and for the first time ever, i sat in the second row cuz i knew that i was bound to make mistakes....have been busy with school and all...too many stuff was coming up and i wasnt able to dedicate myself completely this time round....nonetheless, the mike was still fixed to me...i dont know why....even my teacher knew that i wasnt in the best condition to play for the show....but yes, i went along with it anyway....someone's smile really brightened up my day.....the office guy was shooting the whole thing and he wasnt able to recognise me when he saw me in the group....i guess he's seeing me in a saree for the first time....his smile was genuine...one that was wishing me luck...armed with another wonderful soul's good wishes, i felt happy and played the song happily too...its a pity people dont come to watch.....it was just gorgeous music....i sticked around for the sitar, violin and vocal performances too...just a happy day really....

performance number two is coming up...i'm not sure how it'll be...the section i'm performing with has very different temperaments...and yes...it does show up in the music..so i hope it turns out fine...i swear that i have forgotten the second song...because extensive orchestra practice for the first performance has practically become embedded into my mind....i cant even recall the other songs that i'm supposed to play....

sham asked me to play at mariamman temple on sunday....i'm giving it second thought....its my most favouritest place on earth....but i'm not in good shape to perform....i dont want to sit there and make mistakes....i dont want to kill the music that is so divine in such a holy place summore....i will have to think twice really....i dont want to turn her down...but it seems to me like nothing has been planned properly....i asked who will be bringing the instrument down and i got an "errr..."

haiz....

i know that i've been really difficult to get to recently...i'm always difficult to catch a hold of....i take alot of pride in knowing that :) but yes, if you were seriously trying to get in touch with me during the last two weeks, i 'm TRULY sorry. i've not been able to get enough time for myself too....but i enjoy all the action nonetheless...

as a compensation, call me any day before sunday and any time before midnight, and i will be glad to talk any kind of crap you wish....with the exception of suzy. i'm going to drag you to school and drill you to my hearts content....then we can talk trash...deal?

i'll take that as a deal...
