My Birthday...

The time now is 1.27am, which means it's officially 20th of Nov. Yes. it's my birthday and I guess it's a good time for me to update this blog as well as taking this chance to reflect. =) Usually I dont celebrate my birthday so I guess this particular year it won't be an exception.

Yeah.. time really flies. It seems like ages ago since I first started teaching some of these students who are still learning here at The Art of Music. I first know Xiaozhi when she was a Sec 2 Student in River Valley High School and now she's already studying in NUS. I first taught Guotong and Wanxian when they in RGS and currently both of them are taking their A levels. Yes.. I din forget Agnes and Bettina. You 2 were taught by me ages ago as well. =)

Blogging this entry makes me feel very old. And it doesnt help matters when Xiaozhi and Tingren always call me 'Uncle'. Anyway, it has been a wonderful year. Yes.. I agree it has its ups and downs but I have nonetheless come through it a bit wiser. Err.. I hope.. haha..

I had just finished a celebratory performance at Republic Poly with Pioneer Sec Choir and yes.. I think they did well. They didn't rush for the second song and obviously everyone was quite pleased.

I was telling Calin just now about how things have shaped to the way they are currently and I am quite amazed myself actually. I first took up a choir assignment at Boon Lay Sec 18 months ago because AOM wasn't doing well and I think the extra instructor funds would ensure our survival. However, after bringing them a medal in the SYF competition in Apr 2007, I really relish the challenge of doing it again.

Anw, the marketing plan is starting to take effect. I am glad and I think that idea was the best birthday present Lawrence could have given me. Haha.. With that I wish everyone the best and let's all make the dream of a music hub in AOM a reality!! =)

Love
Andre
