Ericia and S-League

No No... Ericia and S-League has nothing in common. I met up with Ericia the other day before going for my maiden S-league live match since its inception in 1995.(if you consider that a common thing) Ericia was from the same performing group with me in 2002 along with people like Kelly Poon, Mei Mei, Jiaxin, Jay, Stan and many more. It's been quite some time since we have met up. She has actually opened her own shoes boutique. Just to advertise for her here, it's called Queen D located at Raffles Xchange. Wanna thank her for the offer of help she has given for AOM. =)

As for the S-League match, it's really great fun. I mean watching anything live is so much different compared to watching it from TV. The shouting, the screaming, the atmosphere felt really really good. So good I felt like running onto the pitch to play my part. Yes, dun assume S-league is boring or anything like that. Go and try it out live. It is an experience in itself.

I know I keep talking about the change that will take place with the website. Steven is working on it already. SO please be a little patient. =)

And yes, played Monopoly with Steve, Weiming and Bere the other day. Hahaha.. kinda fun. Please come down more often!! Love everyone!! =)

300 and The Value of saying No

It has been an unforgettable weekend. I reckon it will be etched in my memory for years to come. But I have come through it learning a really important lesson in life. Part of the lesson was learnt watching the movie 300 with Mengtze and Fiona.

There was this particular scene in 300 which shows how the young Spartans were taught to fight. They mentioned that you first fight with your head, then with your heart. I think that this statement is absolutely spot on, regardless of the context you are putting it in. I think there a lot of times in life you need to think it through before plunging in. But once you have decided it's workable, you wil have to dedicate your heart and soul into it.

The incident that happened on that fateful Friday taught me the value of saying No. I could have refused to take up the offer. Maybe things wouldn't have turned out the way it is now. But now, some things will be irreversible. I have always been too soft in this respect and continue to acede to others' requests. I have learnt it the hard way. This lesson will truly stay in my living memory.

I wanna thank Steven, Yee Le and Lawrence for helping out on Friday. You 3 are busy men and I appreciate it. Especially Steven. Thank you so much for lending the car and you had to take the cab to the meeting. It's through adversities like these that you find your true friends. Wanna apologize to Fiona for missing her birthday party. I have tried my best.

Maybe it was meant to happen. I believe so. The Secret taught me so as well. Then I shall wake up. I shall move on. I shall not be affected. I shall stay happy. If it's meant to be, then nothing can stop it.

KFC and Music?

Hi everyone.. I know it's been ages since I have updated this particular page. Hahaha.. just kinda busy with loads of planning stuff. Anyway, the project to upgrade this website is under way, so there will be some new interesting features here.
Okie.. was talking to a friend the other day and was mentioning about how a small incident in life could actually affect the way your life's direction. So today, I shall talk about the link between KFC and music in my life.
I was probably 7 at that time. My mum brought me to KFC and there was a free gift that was a small magnetic keyboard. Obviously I was excited about my new toy and in time to come, I would bug my mum to allow me to learn the real stuff, which of course was the piano. Yes, I din look back ever since. I am grateful to KFC and even more grateful to my mum. Hahaha...
I would stress that sometimes the smallest decision we make in life would turn out to have the biggest effect. One thing leads to another, and before long, you are staring at something that you did not deem possible at any point of time.
And all my students out there, I know I have been very busy these few weeks. But rest assured, I still miss all of you!! I hope all of you are well settled in the new school year. =)
