Its unbelievable how long I have not blogged for... don't even know where to begin.
So much has changed in the past year, though some things remain the same; friends and family mainly.
After graduation my focus has shifted from piano to choral music- not like it was never so. Trying hard not to think about the fact that I have hardly any time to touch the piano.. let alone practice.
I have ten choirs now- The NUSS Graduate, A junior college, A polytechnic, The DMC, 4 secondary schools and 2 primary school choirs. And of course, loving every moment of making music with them. I guess it is sharing the passion for choral music and also the drive for improvement in every aspect of the musical form that stirs me on and keeps the adrenaline rush alive and fresh, but of course the end result sometimes might not be as expected, be it better or worse. One can only hope for the best.
Two successful choral competitions this year- SYF 2010 Primary Schools' Choir where Junyuan Pri was awarded the Gold with Honours. Also at the Orientale Concentus International Choral Competition in Taipei where Greendale Sec was awarded the Gold award and Category winner of Youth equal voices. Moments I will never forget- from the preparations to the results- a small yet sweet taste of victory through countless hours of hard work and sweat, not as an individual but as a team- an ensemble. Most importantly, the satisfaction in the knowledge that the road you're taking will always be remembered by the lives you touch.
Shifted house three months ago and loving the new place. Its big, airy and really cosy. Has two halls and the best thing is I have my own music room- a great place to work when I write.
Taking strolls to the beach with parents are happening quite often these days, since its just two minutes walk from our new home. Its beautiful! And the surprise bonus is the horse ranch at the beach/park area that comes with a Cafe bistro. Probably the only one in Singapore! Amazing.
Well have to run now. That's all for now folks. Oh yes, if its anything I wished for now, it would definitely be MORE TIME in the day so I could catch up with some of my friends whom I haven't seen in ages!

In the end it doesn't matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments that took your breath away...
