finally some updates!!

couple of weeks ago, agnes asked if tis blog was still alive... ha ha... i'm trying to keep it alive!! been working on many different stuff, plus updating one's status on FB is usually much easier.. ha ha... but its time to write... so when i wanna look back.. there's something.. :) so here are the few things tt's been 'bothering' or keeping me busy for the past month!

1. BRACES
i just went for a dental appt on monday. its horrid. they added some rings onto my molars. but unlike farmer's, they added cement!! so the rings are really huge.. so on the outer side, my inner cheeks are getting ulcers.. and on the inner side, my tounge is getting cut... i'm as miserable as when i first put on the braces. eating is tougher than then. earlier, i cld still use my tongue to mash soft food (cakes, for e.g.) up the roof of my mouth... now... when i do that, the abrasion on the tongue... eeks... it hurts even to drink water.. :( so today's menu is:
Breakfast: 1 slice of cake (40mins to finish) and a glass of milk
Lunch: maggi instant porridge
Dinner: steamed egg, mushroom soup and some porridge from Republic
i miss FOOD!!!

2. living out my dream!!
last week, i was busy marking. But in the midst of the marking, i managed to play accompaniment for a girl doing MEP prelims AND for a wedding dinner at St. Regis on Saturday!! my first decently paid performance!! ha ha... now working out the possibility of performing in hanoi for three months in a hotel!! :D not sure whether it'll work out... but as I told Abba 'its YOUR call...'

3. marking, marking, keying in marks
today i saw ping online. he's back in sch teaching, and made a comment tt i'd prolly hv forgotten that feeling. NO WAY!! for the past two weeks.. i MARKED AND MARKED... 100+ REPORTs... its no kidding.. and today, i went back to SP and spent hours keying in the marks. Still have to go back tmrw for the checking of marks, etc. Hope to get it done by tmrw, if not hv to go back on fri.. eeks!!

meanwhile, teaching geog tuition, maths tuition, pop piano, classical piano, and preparing for another performance at the hospital next fri with JJ.... oh.. and i just got roped into the citychase thing on sat... who says a freelancer is free? We are BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!
