count your blessings

so I was thinking to myself in the shower today…while in school, everything I learnt was in theory. now at work, I get to learn and practise things. so maybe really ain’t that bad after all. an added plus is definitely being able to get home and just laze, without a care in the world.

it’s snowing where dad is. and here I am in an oven. actually… *rethinks previous sentence* I’m wearing a light jacket now cus I’m feeling a tad cold. oh dad is talking to my mum on the phone now and telling her how snowmen are proliferating his campus. LOL

and finally. music is soooooo powerful. so beautiful. sso concert last night at a rather pathetic venue but music quality overwrites that. listening to amazing music has this ability to transport me back to the time when the piece was written. it’s sorta like, living in the past. I often had this feeling of being in grand, ancient Austrian concert halls whenever I listened to the marriage of figaro. somehow :P

but yes… I managed to find almost alllllll of last night’s music. hurray! been living today in a daze cus of that XD

good Friday, blessed Lord Jesus

I’m listening to my lovely carmen suite now. intermezzo now, peaceful music for a beautiful relaxing day. Im lazing at home :)

* thank you Lord for this weekend, for all that You’ve sacrificed for us. thank you so much. *

- (only) 3 cups of bubble tea since sunday. good control going.

- push and paddle are growing! their eyes will probably open soon…

- HOT CROSS BUNS YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH. america didn’t hav ehot cross buns so it’s been awhile since I had them.as you know, I really really love bread. too much. too much carbs.

- officially jobless!! in a way I’m really relieved, in a way not. cus I need the money, and I need something meaningful to do with my life

- TWO WEEKS till africa!! yippee. can’t wait to go on the safari. I ordered a wide angle lens online specially for that, hope it arrives in the mail in time or I might as well just go shoot myself

- must remind myself to drink milk today. didn’t get to drink some before heading out to church service this morning. calcium needed!!

- haven’t exercised for the past 2 days! my arteries and heart an whatever feel more clogged up than ever… the wet weather is a real dampener for an active lifestyle. it just makes me (and probably most other people) wanna cuddle up in bed and SLEEP.. and eat

- I love joshua bell. gershwin fantasy and  fantasy for violin and orchestra from the album “ladies in lavender”. coincidentally, mao asada once skated to this music. it’s so moving!!

oh that glorious Easter morn… :) 6am dawn service! I can’t wait. it’s been 4 years.

unravelling the mysteries of my sad life by unwinding with ravel and co.

thats my sad attempt at trying to be clever with words. sigh

anyway I’ve been busy with school work and whatnot. but its also partially because somebody here was a genius and went out playing everyday from thurs-sunday… fri night was the LONDON PHILLIE ORCHIE! :) okay they were great but not that great. they did good with the ravel piano concerto (ah, very gershwinny piece) but with rach I felt they were not rach enough!! their rach felt powerful but so.. cheery. which was very wrong.

the night before.. thurs night… I went out with some friends to celebrate the end of a horribly merciless school week. we had dinner at an all-you-can-eat sushi bar. it made me so dreadfully full but there I had to go and have dessert at max brenners. choc fondue fruits and ice cream. which, after taking my last bite, I promptly got up and ran to the bathroom to barf. what a traumatising experience. I felt like a bulimic. I really need to stop eating so much… need to know when to stop and not be a goldfish.

saturday was soooooo awesome because… I WENT ICE SKATING. I miss the ice so damned much it felt really good to step out on the ice albeit wearing skates with no edges. and the fact that it took me more than an hour to get to the only ice rink in sydney. north shore my friend. but oh well. ahhh I miss hockey so much.. and miss my sticks fuzzy, wuzzy and shorty a lot. I need to practise some stick handling when I get back to singapore!

sunday. browsed abit at kinokuniya and watched a gold class movie after church. well for the experience. and it was julie and julia (the movie) which really inspired me to cook more but eat less.

and it’s confirmed. I shall be going to melbourne (again!) and tasmania for a mini grad trip after the exams! :) Ireally closed both eyes and booked the tickets lest I remained indecisive till the end..

so thats that. and yeap, 10 days till the end of school forever. not factoring in exams, that is. 23 days till I’m a grad. the end of being a broke college student and the beginning of life as a broke adult.

wiggles… =(

2 people are coming to view wiggles today!! hope I can get a good offer… but, they’re both late. one ws supposed to come at 11 and theo ther at 12 (which is now) but apparently they are m.i.a……..

anyway, futorimasu. been eating so darned much, and studying too darned little. finished my final ling essay alr, which means…… done with psycholing!!!! :) 4 more subjects to go!

anyway, btw, my sad case fren from cj is here visint in sydney and is still snoring away.. lol !!

hm, dunno what to do now, cuz if I study no doubt I’ll get interrupted in awhile. so I shall just slack.. and listen 2 music (my newww FULL respighi ballet).. hee!

er.. I’m slacking…

507am: I’m supposed to be writing my final essay but obviously I’m getting very distracted. blogging + watching youtube videos X.x but AH HA, I managed to find the entire rossini-respighi ballet at last! benn looking for it for soo long.. yum!

actually, I’m just listening to the videos more like it. rite now blasting POP music into my brain to jolt it a little. augh..

love music though…

today’s sermon: “all music is a gift from God!”
