  • "There are somethings that are meant to be...
    For Everything else? There's Mastercard"


    Oh Oh Oh.. the last few days were great!
    Most of the time I was in the company of my Cousins and my brudas.
    Rather wierd though, usually every year for Xmas,
    I'd be doing something cool or be partying somewhere everywhere.
    This year's Christmas was quiet... but with a touch of warmth.
    Just as how Billy Mack from "Love Actually" said...
    It's more impt to be with the pple you love..
    And undeniably to remember that Our Saviour had come on Earth.
    And just thinking about that is Beautiful.
    Without Him I wouldn't even be typing this.. Thank you God


    When I woke up on Christmas day,
    I took my Presents and went to Orchard Road Presbytarian Church
    Hoping to catch and find someone of great importance.
    Alas, as drama as it may be, I was too late.
    That was the last chance I had to find that person.
    I lingered on not knowing what to do..
    And the Final desperate resort would be to contact her closest friends.
    But.. that failed too. Sighz.


    Then later I went to tower records...
     To pass my minus one Track for the performance on Friday.
    And it was there they held the "TalentQuest 2004" auditions!
    Man there were a few of them who were great singers.
    Some had lotsa style but lacked the substance..
    But it's always something great to dare to try for stuff like that.
    Sadly though, most of the songs were Chinese!
    And none were original creations... Oh well.


    Then we met "Shag" my old time friend..
    And together, we walked the talk and went to Calvin's Hotel!
    It was nice.. never been to Royal Hotel in Orchard before.
    Been to the other ones in singapore because of free stuff..
    but Hotel Royal was nonetheless cool man.



    The day didn't end with a bang though.. but it was good
    We talked about typical Guy stuff.
    While Paul poured his share of his problems...
    I was also in a fix because of girls.
    Ok not really a fix.. but maybe just a little confused.


    Then came the 26th of December..


    My friends.. they had come.
    Think there were many more on their way,
    but they couldn't find the place.
    Either that or they came too early as the Performance was delayed.
    And what a surprise! Didn't expect "gui" to come.



    The Talented Guitarist and old friend Henry..


    I looked to the stage and it was wet and quiet.
    I picture myself Singing a song in front of an Audience.
    "Would i be heard? Will she be there?"
    In the middle of Orchard Park I stood against the wind of fear,
    Ready yet doubtful of what is to come..
    "Will she be there to listen to me?"


    Then it started to rain. Ugh.



    Though i had not the chance to sing.
    It shall be fulfiled on Sunday once more at the same time.
    To all my friends who came to support me.. I thank you.
    It's always such a joy to be around the company of such honourable pple.
    Thank you so much! One day.. U won't have to watch me perform.
    I'll just send all of you my CD. hahaha


    Rachel, Olivia, Michelle, Huiling, Alexis, Samantha, Erika, Vivian, Jane, Jerry, Paul, my cousins Calvin and Michelle, My parents, Aunt Jenny, Jesmine, Aiqi, Jolene and to all who mean to come but were held up by the rain/traffic hahaha Valerie..
