Is Christmas time...... hohoho....... Santa is coming....... haha!
I went to church early in the morning. The usual thing we do was to sing carols together. After that, our church drama department presented us a drama entitled "Operation Save the Earth". The story was about how angels were called upon God to help both Mary and Joesph who gave birth to baby Jesus. It was really interesting!
After church, I went down to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre to meet my parents for breakfast. We have Cha Xiu Noodles.
We went back home after that! I took a rest at home first before I went for my next appointment. I went to meet up with Weizhong for dinner. We went to Ajisen at Causeway Point. Quite disappointing! The food was not really done very well.
After dinner, I went to Weizhong's place to rest for a while.
After that, I went to join Marilyn, Marilyn's bro Feng, Kenny, Evelyn and Jeffery for prawning at Bishan! It was really interesting. Really testing my patience. At the end, Kenny managed to catch two prawns. Excellent, Kenny!
What a day of Christmas! Although I felt a bit boring, I have done something unique!!
Boxing Day tomorrow..... everybody starts your engine to open your Christmas gifts!!!
Take care and God Bless!!

Today is Christmas Eve! A day we remember our baby Jesus is coming into this Earth soon!!
I sleep until quite late today. It has been so long since I did that.
I went out in the evening to have dinner with Jeffery and his wife, Marilyn, Kenny, Evelyn and Zhiquan at the Marina Barrage. There was a steamboat restaurant over there.
That day was raining and windy.... so cooling. I like it. We have a very traditional steamboat that was heated up by charcoal. So interesting...... There were really lots of food items such as fish balls.... besides that, we also order a half chicken and sweet & sour fish!
After that, we took a slow walk at the Marina Barrage, of course this time round, we took some photos.
After the walk, we went to Mustafa to buy some stuffs. Even though I have been here for quite sometimes, I really felt very surprise with the amount of things they sold....hehe!!
What a day! Is 2359hrs already......5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Enjoy the festive season!!

Hey, I'm back
I went over to Yusof Ishak Sec today to take a look at their Band. I went to help to teach the Trumpet Section and F.Horn Section! That day was really bad as not all the members were not there. Was quite a waste of time but I only there to take a look so I did not comment on that.
I will have to go back to NV to coach the trumpeters when the Band starts next Tuesday!
During lunch, I went to the nearby eating place with Mr Tan and Mr Ng. We have claypot together. The food at Bukit Batok was really nice.....
After the band practice, Mr Ng drove me back to Ang Mo Kio...... I went & get some stuffs and went back home to put my instrument before I meet my friends for dinner at Orchard.
Jianneng, Guowei and I went to Shokudo at the Heeren for dinner. This was my third time coming to this restaurant. I have Chicken Kansa curry. Got a number to food.
After that, we went to have tea at Paragon Coffee Club where we have our desert. We got the famous mudpie. It was really heavenly!! All of you should go and try!
After that, we walked around Orchard and took photo. I will post them later!!

I went through the Set piece with them in the morning and their Choice piece in the afternoon. Overall, it was really hard to teach the F.Horn because sometimes the students tend to forget and their pitching were not that good. As for the Trumpeters, both of them were all right.

Dear All,
sorry for not updating my blog recently due to the preparation for my school Band concert. Yesterday was the concert for North Vista Symphonic Band (NVSB), together with North Vista String Ensemble (NVSE) and North Vista Alumni Band (NVAB).
We have come so far to perform in the Victoria Concert Hall (VCH). This was our 2nd time that we come back to VCH since 2004. You could probably say a homecoming concert.
It was really months of hardwork for all the performers to come to this far. To be frank, this is my 2nd Vista Musica that I felt so much pressure and stress. Not only I'm a player, I'm also have to be in-charge of the logistics aspect of the concert. It was really massive. Even though it was really tired, I have learnt lots of valuable experience from all parts.
Before that, I was in school around 7.30 am before going for breakfast for my brother, Cher Hui. After that, I started to check what were the stuffs the band need for that night concert. The school rehearsal started at 08.3oam. I need to run two places today from AVA to LT to check whether everything was on schedule. Everybody was going through their stuffs and by 11am, the buses and lorry arrived, we brought all the instruments and logistics up and we were off to VCH for our final rehearsal at 1pm.
When we reached VCH, the banner was already installed up, so efficient. Then we started the rehearsal proper. We went through the whole concert to see how it was..... During the rehearsal, I was super stressed with the chairs arrangement. It went horribly wrong during the actual rehearsal at the combined Band position. We got everything correct in school but it was not turned well at VCH. I nearly broke down. So Ee Ching came in to give a hand, lucky we managed to deal with it but in my heart, I'm still worry.
After the rehearsal, we all got ready for the big day at 5pm. I went out to the tix counter to see how they do and went back to change. The moment of true was here. The concert started sharp at 5pm. First up, the Main Band started the ball rolling. The songs they played were St Peterburg March, Flight of Valor, Asian Rhasphoy...... after that a 20 mins interval, the String Ensemble was next, this was their first time playing in a public performance. Next, the Percussion Ensemble playing two songs. The storm was quite & interesting item from them. The moment for me to perform was here. The Alumni Band performed three pieces: Evergreen '70, I only care for u and Disco Party III. It was really good as I could feel that everyone of us were doing our best. The audience were really sporting and I felt that applause was really good. Just want to say a big thank you to my friends who have come and support me and the Band. I really appreciated it.
After the whole concert, we packed up and went back to school.
Once I got the I will post it in my facebook, will put a link in my blog when I do it.

Dear all,
I'm back to update again! I hope everybody is having a good time during the holidays.
This week was an exciting one for me as I attended a number of fun activities.
First up, I went for a two days one night camp with my school ODAC group at Pasir Ris Park. We met at the Pasir Ris Interchange around 9am.Then we walked over to our campsite. Cher Hui, Chee Yong , Sze Dee and me started to set up our tent. It was really interesting as it been sometimes Since I built my own tent. Unfortunately it was raining for a while. Thank God that it stopped. So the rest of the activities continued. I saw them playing some bonding games like Captain Ball. In the evening, we have BBQ. The students prepared the food on the spot, was really like eating at a buffet Haha!! Cher Hui started the fire and the rest of us help him as well. Together with Yuan An, we went to cook noodle for our dinner. It was really like our mini Boys gathering. After that, we went back to have a bit of BBQ food with Soon May. We have a bit of chicken and our favourite marshmallow coated with choco syrup. So devil.
After that sumutous meal, we went back to our tent to rest. We played cards for a while and of course not forgetting to look at the stars! So nice! Chee Yong, Cher Hui and I chatted for a while where we dozed off.
