Korea here I come!!

Heh....yes, I am now waiting at the boarding gate to take my flight to Korea!!

Woohhoooo...thus begins the first of my few trips this holidays :P
Going to be gone for 8 days, and back on 1st Dec...think it's so sneaky of tour companies to purposely schedule night flights for tour groups and count it as one day on the 8-day tour! HMPH. Waste my time.

Oh well....anyway, am super looking forward to the cold...think it's between 0 - 6 degrees? And and...the snow on the mountain!! =) Has been a really long time since I saw snow...in fact, I've only seen snow once :P Remember it very vividly.....it was when I was on this tiny plane flying to the Grand Canyon in the US...then it started snowing...and we could literally see the tops of the trees turning white gradually............. But seems the snow in Korea's gonna be real thick! Heh, looking forward to skiing... :)

Have so much to blog about actually...grad night....4-1 chalet...friends' wedding.......but, guess all that'll have to wait till I'm back :P Talking about 4-1, some of them wanted to come and send me off just now.......heh, so nice and sweet of them. Thanks for the thought guys, appreciate it :)

Alright, almost time to board! TATA!! :)

It's ending it's ending!

To my sec4 kiddos,

Hang in there it's ending!!
Just 3 (or for some, 4) more days and it'd be all oveR!!!! :)

Counting down to the the end of exams for my kids makes me think back to the times when I used to take these major exams. And I distinctly remember how I'd dish out my Christmas carols CDs amidst the examination stress, and listen to them while doing my revision....somehow, Christmas carols have a really soothing effect on me...and I'd always comfort myself to think that by the time Christmas was here, all these examinations that I was taking would be over.
Was over at Orchard to meet some old friends on Friday, and I noticed that Christmas decorations were already being slowly put up along Orchard Road and in the shops. Another year is soon coming to a close....I'd survived yet another year of work....my goodness, how time zips by these few years...
MacRitchie Board Walk + Tree Top Walk
Went to the MacRitchie board walk and tree top walk with my MGS friend on the Deepavali holiday recently. The thing was, I thought we were only going to like go for a morning walk around MacRitchie, because in her message, she said "MacRitchie walk tomorrow at 9am?". And only on the morning itself, 1 hr before I was due to meet her did I receive her sms to say "It's going to be a 4 hour 10km walk so come prepared with a small towel and water ok? :)" WAH. I almost fainted. Not because I was afraid of walking nor exercise, but because...well, you need some kinda mental preparation for 10km rite????
Anyway, I survived it :P

At the board walk...

Wang Lee Hom 'Music-man' concert

Yup, I went for yet another concert. Haha..that's what I always tell my friends, that majority of my money goes to either CDs, or concerts...not so much into clothes and shoes....quite atypical of gals? ;)

The super expensive electric guitar that was hanging in mid-air the whole time before the concert began. Apparently the guitar costs 20 000 Euros!

My concert buddies :P Can you see our excited and enthusiastic expressions?? Even Stephanie Sun and Kit Chan were in the front row!

Guess we weren't the only enthusiastic ones :P

The last time I watched a Lee Hom concert was I think...2 years ago? Was already quite impressed with him in the last concert, and he totally met my expectations, or even surpassed it, at this concert!




"Music-man" is the name of the concert, a superhero that he said he would want to be if he were a superhero like Batman, Superman, Spiderman....so for him, it's Music-man.




Super cool concept the Music-man...




Super cool entrance by Lee Hom!

See his breast-plate and all? All dressed up to be Music-man, superhero of the music world!
Think what made the concert extra enjoyable on top of his power vocals and multi-talented playing of instruments, were the addition of 3 BIG SCREENS on stage!! My goodness just look at the impact it has. Just makes one go WOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH.... :P

There were also like...a million different backgrounds that the concert had due to the big screens....super high-tech :)Well, what's a Lee Hom concert without him playing on the piano and wowing the audience with it....

I would give the "Music-man" concert, a rating of full 5-stars!
Superb voice, very very interesting re-arrangement of songs for the concert, very engaging stage, very good & apt plus short & sweet links between songs. And I think that it's very sweet of him to always mention and express his heartfelt thanks to his violin teacher-cum-mentor who resides in Singapore.



Super cute bunny!!!!

Heh, just thought I'd post a picture of this SUPER CUTE bunny that I saw in a pet shop at Leisure Park in Kallang before going for the Lee Hom concert. Don't you think it's so cute???? I think it's because of its droopy ears...makes one go "Aaawwwwwwww..." when they look at it :P



Okok, I better get back to writing my 2 million testimonials...otherwise I'll die a terrible deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaath........ :P

But before I go, another picture of the nice nice sky :P


TATA!
