...ABOUT


Love Purple!

I Sit And Look Out
Walt Whitman.

I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame;
I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done;
I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate;
I see the wife misused by her husband--I see the treacherous seducer of young women;
I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hid--I see these sights on the earth;
I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny--I see martyrs and prisoners;
I observe a famine at sea--I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill'd, to preserve the lives of the rest;
I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;
All these--All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon,
See, hear, and am silent.

      Anyone wants to go to the Singapore National Museum?

      This morning, we had a company trip to the Singapore National Museum. It was my first time there in at least ten years, and boy was I impressed! It has been totally revamped since I last saw it. As the trip was for the consultants and designers to learn about how to 'turn spaces into stories', we had one of the project managers of the Canadian firm which helped to design/conceptualize the revamp to take us on a tour. It was thus a guided tour from a very different perspective, as the focus was on the experience they were trying to create with the space, sound, display... down to stuff like where to put benches and the number of earpieces to have for the handheld audioguide! We were only taken round the Singapore History Museum, and it was surprisingly cool- loads of multimedia, which made it very interesting (though I'm not so sure about the authenticitiy of the history it told in doing so.)

      Unfortunately, we did not visit the Living Galleries, which is featuring photography, food and culture, and film exhibits! Anyone wants to go take a look with me sometime?

      Well, I could have gone back with my complimentary ticket after work, but...

      I AM MEETING LINDA FOR DINNER. =)=)=) NicNic, Jiayuan and Kim were all not free, but Linda was! Amazing, for a Friday night. Can't wait to see her!

      Last night and tonight, I've been doing pretty extreme running and practising. I ran about 5km last night, and another 6km this morning because I couldn't sleep well. It felt wonderful, especially when I reached the reservoir this mornining at 6:40am, and I heard songs I haven't heard in a long time, like Stuck in the Middle with You. And yesterday, I managed to squeeze in three piano practise sessions, haha! One at 7am, one at 8pm, and then one at 10pm after my run. I wish I can spend all day practising and not go to work.

      I hope I can continue waking up early to get things done, especially since working is just sucking all the time and energy out of me. Mad as it seems to try to wake at 6am everyday. Oh yea, Mr Ku commented that it was 'super early' for piano practising, and one morning, at 5:30am (obviously I was sleeping), he sms-ed to ask if I was alraedy up. Goodness! I shall wake up early again tomorrow, since there's a committee meeting in the afternoon.

      But I haven't been able to sleep at night... annoying.

      I just got my accomodation details for my internship in Beijing. 25 days of Hotel Living, but most importantly... THERE IS A GYM THERE, WHEW. Now I need to think about where to find a piano to practise.

      And last night, I heard something which left me quite taken aback for awhile. Like, speechless. In Jiayuan's words, 'my words have come true.' Oh well, but I'm past it now, haha.

      Sigh, I miss Mouse Lian Rolles. That woman is going to Macau next week.

      Wow that's really early! Think I'll fall asleep on the piano lid sia hahaha. The only craziest thing I did so far was to go to school at 6.45am to practise before morning assembly lol but that was 2 years ago lah hahaha.

      But it's quite good actually to practise first thing in the morning before breakfast... maybe can remember what you play better? Hehe.

      Oh ya by the way I told Sherilyn I won't be able to catch Beethoven with you guys le sorry :( Thought they might have student prices but Sherilyn said the second floor isn't open to public :((( Very much wanted to go, but don't think it's quite appropriate for me at this point in time...

      Hope you enjoy the concert there! Will hear Beethoven sometime...
