There, 10 years of music making. Kudos to the teachers, who've truly been an inspiration as I walk through this musical journey in JC, and even till today.
MEP Batch of 2003. :) Still loving music.
I had no idea how we did the Grainger in 3 weeks or less. Was amazing, and all thanks to Mr Ku's volunteer work, and all the encouragement we got. Thanks en and min for this cool opportunity to play with you ladies! :)
Oh, and Jeremy, have fun in NS. You'll be dearly missed during quartet. :)

... spending time with God in the little corner in the Central Library.
... going to Crusade Corner on Thursday morning to find loads of crusaders having DG at 8am.
... hanging around at the Corner.
... popping by Corner during lecture breaks to say hi to the staff.
... seeing people pray, support and encourage one another at the Corner.
... having DG, PIG, DWG, LM.
... having lunch at the Corner.
... eating the laksa Yong Tau Foo from the Arts Canteen.
... craving for the "too sweet" strawberry milkshake.
... the Uncle at the drinks store talking to me about my violin, and his, while I fill the cup with teh-O.
... reserving seats before lectures for friends.
... going for lectures and eagerly waiting to hear Dr Goh teach.
... coming out of lectures feeling so concentrated with information.
... walking along corridors and saying quick "hi"s to people.
... the smiles that I'll gather no matter how good or bad my day is.
Sort of looking forward to starting school. *yay*

God, I need to spend more time with You. Feeling like You're not so far away, but also not so near. Can't seem to communicate properly these days, sometimes I wish people could read my mind. Set aside more time intentionally to talk to You, to worship You, to read Your word. I know even if I don't say it out, You'll know what I'm thinking and all. So I'm really thankful for that.
Still got to make major decisions about piano - guide me!
Worship this Saturday, so lead me! Guide me to lead Your people into praising You and exalting Your name.
I pray that $$$ will stop making the world go round, and that people will not get so obsessed with making $$$.
Broken, inside out. Which is not a bad thing. Draw me near to You.
Dotz is married! I'm happy she has found someone whom she'll want to spend the rest of her life with! I think the song "When God made you, He must be thinking of me" so truly describes their relationship! I wonder if I've really found "the one". Don't know. Anyway, Dotz was so pretty and her evening gown was so diva and awesome! :)
Sweet couple! Congrats! You're married! :)
Things have been coming to a standstill, ever since church camp. No more cell, no more random movie outings, no more dinners outside, no more dinners at with our families, no more this, no more that. But some things have been occuring, nightmares for no reason (which I don't even remember but I just get very tired when I wake up), my eczema (maybe cos I'm stressed and thinking too much), Ivan hospitalized etc.
you've been far away, somehow I don't really know how to talk to you anymore. you've been too engrossed with work, with making more $$$. $$$ doesn't make the world go round, only God's love does. I only get to hear of things when decisions are made. Then I'd rather be kept out of the loop. How? Honestly, now I don't know if you're really the one. I think we're on different frequencies. It's like, we're not running into any mega problems, but sometimes I just do not feel the connection anymore. But why do tears still well up in me even as I think? Maybe I'm confused. Actually now I just want to spend time with God first, and my piano. I should velcro myself to the piano stool, like what min and I saw at Bach in AC.
Ok, my eyes hurt. Ouch. Hope the eczema doesn't act up again.

So on the real birthday, 4th July was at Settler's playing "Ugly Ugly Ugly" and "Jungle Speed". Jungle Speed was crazy because the patterns were so confusing! And "Ugly Ugly Ugly" was just stupendously fun cos we were just randomly screaming that and grabbing cards at the same time. Definitely fun to play in big groups!
It was awesome seeing the AC people again, makes me really miss AC! Even though I'm not really close to some of my "grand-juniors", they still came! And Jon Goh! Was quite crazy how we saw each other when Jon and I were going into the lift at the carpark in Raffles Hotel. Like how we saw each other in the mirror and was just so shocked for words. haha. And the awkward moment when I introduced Jon to Jon. But it was so good to see you again brother, after like 3 years! How we really miss the days where we had sectionals, getting scoldings from Chan, but still clinching the Gold despite the discouraging comments he left in our faces before SYF. Those were the days. The good old days. I sooo miss AC!
Left: Em (the organizer) and the happy birthday girl!
Right: the boyfriend and me with the yummilicious mango ice cream cake!
*I think I was looking at Pak Kei's camera. Too many cameras flashing then... PK, send me photos!
Thanks Em, Zhon, the 2 Jons, PK, Mel, Keith, Zhiguang, Wayne, Joshua, Kenneth and Joy for being a part of my 22nd birthday! Was really great seeing you guys again!
Blowing out the 2 big and 2 small candles...
Whee! AC Strings rock!
And since Keith popped by, we got a drink at Brekos! Wow, Keith, I'm really glad that you're doing real meaningful stuff now. :)
And today, on the 5th I had 3 appointments. Breakfast with Yibin, lunch with Paul and Dan, dinner with T.H.E Quartet. I loved talking to Yibin, especially when I felt like I've learnt something after talking to him, about how he's just so concerned about people, their walk with God, and his life as a living testimony for Christ in YST. It's amazing. Brother, let Jesus always shine through your life to others! I'm glad for this time where we had to share, to just talk about anything under the sun. Felt worth it to have missed the 106, to just spend the 20mins waiting for the next one talking to you. :) Thanks for breakfast!
Then I was off to meet Paul and Dan at Pepper Lunch, of which I was coerced to eat even though I was sooo super full. But Dan finished off half of my lunch, as promised. You're really a bottomless pit, I wonder where all the food went. Was great just catching up though we were arguing again about Soci and Psych, but nonetheless still good friends ya? And we're both happy that Paul now has a happy story! :) How we have all grown up! Now all 3 of us are attached. hee. yay!
Oh, and I had an adventure finding United Square after Dan dropped me off at Novena Square. I thought there would be signs or directions to show me to United Square but I couldn't find any. And so I ended up in this other shopping centre called "Square2". Why is everything something square or square something! So confusing. But thank God that with my blurness I still managed to find United Square. *phew* Dinner with quartet was good and of course I didn't eat very much because of the many many appointments today. Thank God for the storm that has just passed within the quartet. Now it's all bright and sunny!
