It's been almost 2 years since I last posted, and a great many things have changed. For example, I'm now married and I have a place of my own - big changes. I've also joined a new choir and I'm rather looking forward to our first performance in April :) My circle of friends has also shifted and widened to include my husband's friends and various new people in my life, and after 2 years I am slightly older and hopefully a little wiser.
But in essence I think I'm still the same person. When you get older, 2 years makes less of a difference in proportion.

Busy with new job (sorta), addicted to a boardgame called Descent: Journeys Into the Dark. At a crossroads with regards to choir, trying to find time to pick up old hobbies (sketching, piano, swimming, photography) and explore new ones (watercolours, miniature painting).

If you, too, agree that this constitutes as discrimination against useful and significant members of our society - who should have the same rights to love and express affection as everybody else - please sign the open letter to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to appeal for the abolition of Section 377A of the Singapore Penal Code.
The deadline for this petition is 19th October, 2007.

Society failed to tolerate me
And I have failed to tolerate society
Still I can't find what you adore
Inside I hear the echoes of an inner war
Nothing can take the horror from me
Your sick world the loss of all morality
My hate has grown as strong as my confusion
My only hope my only solution
is a Violent Revolution
Violent Revolution, Violent Revolution
Reason for the people to destroy
I do not need a cause for my rage
I just despise the nature of the human race
When all I see is repulsion and hate
Violence becomes my only friend, my saving grace
When love is lost beyond your control
A pale shadow of lust can not enlight your soul
So keep your ice cold bitter illusions
I don't need your empty world my only solution
is a Violent Revolution
Violent Revolution, Violent Revolution
Reason for the people to destroy
Beauty is no more it's all gone
And utopia will not come
Trust I can not feel, only pain
And my burning mind has gone insane

Mostly, I'm just tired of having to do things I don't really want to do.

BEIJING, July 19 (Reuters) - Beijing police have detained a television reporter for fabricating an investigative story about steamed buns stuffed with cardboard at a time when China's food safety is under intense international scrutiny.
A report directed by Beijing TV and played on state-run national broadcaster China Central Television last Thursday said an unlicensed snack vendor in eastern Beijing was selling steamed dumplings stuffed with cardboard soaked in caustic soda and seasoned with pork flavouring.
Beijing authorities said investigations had found that an employee surnamed Zi had fabricated the report to garner "higher audience ratings", the China Daily said on Thursday.
"Zi had provided all the cardboard and asked the vendor to soak it. It's all cheating," the paper quoted a government notice as saying.
A city-wide inspection of steamed bun vendors in the wake of the report had found no such cases, the paper said.

g3nerations
1st Sept '07, Saturday
Victoria Concert Hall, 8pm
Tickets @ $15, free seating
G3nerations is a showcase of works by three generations of composers who are linked by teacher-student relationships, with pieces by Dr Goh, his teacher Dr Charles Hoag, his peer Dr Andrew Bonacci, and several of Dr Goh's students. (Pretty fitting as a teacher's day concert, eh?) Many of the works in this concert are being performed for the first time.
Tickets through me if interested =)
We also have a "Sponsor-A-Ticket" programme! If you're not free on that day or choral music is not really your thing, you can also sponsor a ticket for charity (we'll give the ticket to someone from a home/organisation who's interested in the performance but doesn't have the financial ability to afford the ticket). Details on the benefiting organisation when I get them =)

Watching that movie really brought back some good memories of back when I used to read the books. I remember liking them so much I finished most of the series before I started primary school! After I saw the trailer for the movie, I went to dig up some Nancy Drew books to read for fun, and it was only then that I realised all the books were written by different people because the writing style was pretty different. And there I was, always thinking that this Carolyn Keene person must be the richest woman on earth... haha!
