Short + Sweet Musical Workshop 2012

Yesterday I went for the Short + Sweet Musical Performers workshop.

It was so fun! I didn't really expect to enjoy it that much.

The facilitator was the awesome Llew Marsh. He taught us so much!

But I have to say what I liked most about it was doing things in a group. Singing different parts in a group of just 1 song, I'd never done that before! I had trouble doing it but it sounds oh so so sweet!

As a result of the workshop yesterday I'm now hooked on this song:
Do you know it? From the movie Rent. I'd seen it ages ago and I remember when I heard this song then I was enthralled from the first word. Amazing stuff!

Quoting from the song..How do you measure a persons life? How do you measure a year? In laughter? In truths learnt? How about love?

So amazing. How can you not fall in love with the song? and the tune? and the singing? & the voices? Obviously I'm addicted to the song. Don't worry, it'll be over in a few days. I'll stop singing it non stop the whole day. I think. Haha~

hair

I sometimes get restless.

That's when I always contemplate doing something to my hair.

I've had so many haircuts (& 1 shave maumau will never forgive me for hahaha but that's another story).

Mostly bad haircuts.

N I've dyed my hair a few times. Always regretted it some time later though. Stinks.

1 thing bad haircuts have taught me is to chin up. It doesn't matter if u look like crap or have a huge pimple on ur nose or whatever. U still gotta face the world.

The last time I dyed my hair was 2 years back. Just before I came back from Japan. I had a voucher for a few thousand yen at a hairdresser and I wanted to do something different. The hairdresser had been really good at giving me haircuts so far so I trusted him to dye my hair.

I didn't know he'd dye it sooooo light. I definitely didn't ask him to do this color:



It always surprises me how well people think they know you from how you look.

Oh, you dye ur hair this color u're a Japanese/Korean idol wannabe.

You have short spunky hair, u got an attitude.

u got long hair, u're a girly girl.

People read too much into things like that. But I really like observing it. Sometimes playing along.

So who are you? Does your hairstyle portray who you wanna portray you are?

蛋卷鞋

In Xiamen I went to this shop:


For those of you who don't know Chinese, it means 'egg roll shoe'.

I bought a pair!







What do you think? Cool? I seriously hate how fat my feet are and look -.- plus the popping veins don't help haha...

It even comes in a wicked pouch:


An excuse to wear super high heels? With the egg roll shoes I now have backup shoes I can easily carry around! hahahaha
