Last day of lessons from Encik Nadzar, the master of bronze pots.

Went to school as usual and saw Min Wen and Xin Yun who were just about to enter the music room. And I thought I was late. Heh.

Practise went on as usual after we carried back the set that was brought to Naza Talyya Hotel the day before.

We took all morning just to finish learning Teratak Perpatih. And it's not just a long song, it's one complicating song too. Well, I guess we'll get the hang of it after more practise.

I was happy when I was the only one to get the parts played right once. :D

Then again, it's only because I play the sauwa which is comparatively easier than the gereteh, and I made notes of which goes first.

And because Ah Yuan didn't make it, I didn't get to record my Ris Low video with her. :( Oh well, she needs the practise anyway. ;D

Also, Najwa and May didn't come, which makes us drummer-less for that new and complicating song. Min Wen resorted to recording him play the gendang in hopes of showing it to Najwa and May when we have our next practise together. The whole process was really funny. x]

The only people to keep me sane then - Xin Yun and Min Wen. (:
So after sending Encik Nadzar and his wife off, and mind you, the wife is way better at playing caklempong compared to the juniors, we went to get lunch. I nearly got stuck in school to apparently watch the juniors but after commenting about this to the juniors, I got my way and followed Min Wen and Xin Yun to McD's for lunch. Well, to be exact, to get their lunches. Mumsie sent mine. (:

On the way to Plaza Pelangi, Puan Rozi wanted to get lunch as well so she got us to buy them for her and her family. Heck, she then asked us to buy eggs for her as well. That was honestly random. None of us expected that. xD

The moment we got off the car, it rained so darn heavily, we looked a sight running into Plaza Pelangi. Seriously.

Got the food, went back to school, and I ate more lunch. Thanks to Puan Rozi's and Xin Yun's fries. I have yet to knock that girl's head because knowing how much she wanted Twister fries, I gave one really curly one to her when I spotted it, but she instead took whatever Twister fry she could spot and had it for herself. She's mean I tell you. Hmmph.



Went on with practise, before going back home.

Ah, I miss those bronze pots already. After nearly going mad with the echoes of different people playing different parts at one time in one small music room.

Today was supposed to be polishing the bronze pots day, but I couldn't go. Had a dentist appointment, in which I half-suffered for. D:

★
By the way, congrats to Munnie and Kong Eve Lyne for getting straight A's. They needn't worry actually, they're smart and hardworking kids. Compared to me who purely depended on luck for my results. (:

And also to any of the juniors I know, it's not even the end yet.

It's just the beginning of what's really hell. ;)

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
