Im supposed to be concentrating on calling and other stuff...but I had to destress...
Aside from allt eh school work, Im also trying to get my voice around Bintang Di Surga and Tiada Lagi...
Both requiring me to sing the higher register. I know I can reach them..I just cant reach them with my real voice...I also cant wait for my singing class to start because I want to make my voice better...
I know alot of people would say, "just keep singing lah! in due time it will get sronger" but I cant because I find it odd to sing in public as opposed to in a karaoke room or stage or studio..I feel like Im disturbing people. esp when I try to hit the highnotes and go out of tune.
I guess I still have to thank Wandi and his band for this...it is my reason to pushing myself...
its about time...I know Jimmy would be happy to see me hit the register...
God Bless

Quack quack, cluck cluck, mooo, neigh, oink
Communication is a very important thing. Something I feel takes a lifetime to master yet along hte way of learning, I find myself getting irritated. Iam the culprit too and can kick myself in the ass....oink oink oink...
But Im wondering if its me or its the asian culture that makes me realize that its a bigger problem in Aussie. And the main reason is because people in Australia are more vocal. So listening is made to take the backseat at times.
And in Asia, everyone is politely taking turns to voice out or never voices out because they are too reserved. I guess there are pros and cons to this..
What this all means is that if I do feel like I have to make a point, I have to go out and make my point, with the risk of feeling like Im too opinionated...which really isnt true. Its just me trying to speak over the roaring winds...
God Bless

Getting back to speed!
So Ive been hanging around for abit...hanging around hte house..instead of being productive..very bad me!
Updates are that recently, ive decided to go full out on learning about audio. And I am gonna finally take singing classes! And keep at dance class!
Its alot to do actually...
To add on, I msged Wandi one day and went,"how cool would it be if we did a cover of Bintang Di Surga?" And before you know it, Im doing a cover of it and another song, Tiada Lagi. It will be recorded during my april holidays in NIDA recording studio...*cross fingers*
And Wandi will mix it in to the rest of hte recordings and hopefully, hey presto! We got a good mix! Thent hat would be major awesomeness! I am very very excited! I know its not an english song hence some might ask "whats the point!" But the plus point is that it is not an english song! :) That makes it more interesting! I wanna do this and I do wanna do other songs that are non-english because music isnt just about the language!
I also signed up as a vounteer for Shir Madness Festival and one of the geuest perofrmers is Mosh Ben Ari! One of the Israeli music big names!
Im gonna have to up my boosters then...Aarrghhh! This year will be hectic!
God Bless!

Australia...
Spoke to 2 of my housemates last night adn we had such an interesting long chat about Australia and its perception of chinese or Asians...
Apparently Asians are viewed as
- rude
- intruding on personal space/ disrespecting personal space
- sometimes dirty (blowing nose or spitting in public)
Sad to say alot fo the older generation chinese do that. Then again..saying Chinese is a general statement because chinese from different backgrounds behave differently. The younger generation does not do that.
Yet I suspect that the locals dont know what to do with asians, especially by the impression that their elders have given them about asians...
My housemates and I had such a wonderful and honest chat! Even though they are australian, they are truly honest about how australia is and it made me clear my impressions on Australians. Im not saying Im correct, in fact, it cleared alot of my questions on why they behave in a certain way to people like me and people of hteir own kind.
It only forces me to conclude that as foreigner, I HAVE to show THEM what the world out of Australia is like. :)
I had a friend who asked me, "does mandarin have dictionaries?" a simple and seemingly "Duh" question but I am honestly pleased to hear such a question! Or that Singapore has soo many languages etc...
It means that no matter how tired I am, that I should still try to make myself known and be approachable. Because they wont always be the ones to say "hi" first.
God Bless

Valentines Day...
So its Valentines Day. Nothing different I guess hahaha Its just another day. :)
Pity that I dnt have Sonal or Sam to spend V day with because it would be an awesome nights out.
V-Day doesnt have to be only for lovers. friends hangout as well. :) it is afterall about love. Love in all forms. And hte one love that is forgotten or disregarded..is God's love for us and our love for Him. Something I intend to spend some time to think about today. :)
Speaking of love,
We are all made to show our fav song on our next sound class I really have no idea which is my favourite...Hmmm
Loved alot of them but dnt know why...
Might be a non-english song hahahaha Maybe Idan Raichel, Maybe Reshmonu, maybe Peter Pan, maybe a real good indian song....ore piya? DONT KNOW!!! SHOOT!
Anyway Ive been delving into sound or audio stuff thie term and its getting me excited :) Also spoke to Felix and Ron and it would be sooo awesome to get a chance to do work experience in the audio aspect :) It seems like everything is working out...and all I needed was the heart? Hmmm
I thank God for all this by the way. every one can say that I probabaly worked really hard tog et all this..or I got lucky...but lucky doesnt come as often and as plentiful as what I get. And I definitely dnt work as hard as it may seem. I am blessed. :)
Im gonna work hard but depend on God for everythingelse :) Thats my renewed promise with God :)
K well gonna end here. :) Im gonna be productive this week! Im not gonna be complacent... :) Im gonna push on ans not be lazy! The process of being disciplined!!! I need to get my shit together!!!
And most of all, need to keep my head straight and focus on studies and bettering myself! As opposed to wasting time and regretting it when my time in Sydney runs out.
God Bless
