Come sei veramente

Hey people!
I'm gonna share this.
I thought this music was very nice.
And I went to search for the music sheets.
7 pages and there goes my shoulder ache.

Today, I got the scores. I can't wait
Therefore, I started on playing the song,
Sad thing is that I can't really do octaves(fast), and there's like 2 pages of it.
I have to play a note instead.

Now, I just need perfection on some parts.
Hopefully I can perfect this by tomorrow though.

Hmm, btw this was by an Italian artist - piano solo by Giovanni Allevi
I think he was really talented and I got two books of his music sheet.
Other than this, there are a few other songs which are quite nice too.
So, if any of you wants, can get it from me.

Its called: Come sei veramente

5 languages of love

Recently, I attended the caring team workshop on how to care for others.
And there I learnt about the 5 languges of love by Gary Chapman.

These are:
1. Words of affirmation
Explanation: You need to hear praise to know you are loved, and you may also prefer to express your affection verbally. Negative comments cut right to the bone. You want to hear that you're loved and how much and why.

2. Quality Time
Explanation: This can be expressed either through those intimate tête-à-tête discussions or via doing things together. (Just means spending time together)

3.Receiving Gifts
Explanation: Presents and physical tokens of affection move you. It's the fact that someone is thinking about you enough to give you something that moves you. The objects are of secondary importance to the relationship and sentiment with which they were intended.

4. Acts of service
Explanation: You prefer to show your love through favors and chores and doing things for others. You feel put-upon and unappreciated when your efforts are taken for granted.

5. Physical touch
Explanation:You want to give and/or receive affection physically. This may or may not center on sex.

My sister told me that there was this quiz online, so I decided to take it.
And there, my rank:
#1 Quality time
#2 Acts of service
#3 Words of affirmation
#4 Physical touch
#5 Receiving gifts

When I saw this, I am wondering how true it is because quiz aren't really trustworthy and dependable.
I guess as long as people whom I care about talks to me, I would be happy.

So people try the test and tell me your results okay!
TOODLES!

Others often asked me why am I so quiet?
But as quiet as I am, I wanted to be outspoken too but it doesn't works that way.
Times when I tried, I was ignored, then I felt as though it doesn't matter anymore.
But there were also times where I don't even know what to say, even though I hope there was ongoing conversations.
And there were times where there's no way to open my heart to others because I might get teary.
Even the recent piano test, I was struggling to keep my tears away when I talked about it.
Actually I did open my heart to this blog and now, I'm wondering if that's right or not since the whole world can read this.

Past.. Cambodia Part1

As I was flipping through my CDs,
I saw my past photos which I still remembers vividly.
It was around 2005... how long ago was that? (about 4 years ago bah)

And all these pictures were taking while we were at cambodia, a service learning trip I guess.
It's been so long since I saw these pictures again.
So, I thought of sharing these photos.


This was taken at T1, group photo.
This trip includes primary school students and two disabled guys other than us.














Then we reached cambodia airport. It's quite cool and it was not air-conditioned.














Then we are on our way to Hope village, an orphanage.
yah, world map, cause my team is in charge of teaching geography.















This was taken on the bus.
In cambodia, you can't imagine how crowded it was here.
There were so many cambodians walking around with baskets of the things they are selling.
And they are actually selling things straight through the windows of car/bus.
You can't imagine how they tried to sell their food to us.














I guess the air was quite polluted here because there was alot of cars and like some jam kind of thing.
Btw, they are selling some fried crickets. These fried insects were quite popular there, like fried cockroaches and spiders. My friends bought them and they tried it.
They said it was not bad but instead, crunchy and there wasn't the scary "cockroaches" taste. HAHA!














So, after a certain distance, we finally reached the orphanage.
These kids have just finished their school,
and they are so cute and kind to help us with our luggage.















Here's their dog, I forgot its name though. HAH.
oh yah, there was a singaporean who was there, I think she has been there for quite long.
And she was helping the orphanage.















They are amazed with the camera and they seriously like cameras and taking photos, whenever we took out our cameras, they would crowd around us and pose. HAHA!
so cute. I guess they hardly had a chance to take photo.





























Hmm, this was our bunk and its kind of underground area.
The kids slept at the other area of the building.















They had this little carnival and fund raising project for us.














This was what they made, its really nice.















So, that was for the PART 1 of the cambodia trip, I'll be back with more and its going to be a very long post though. HAHA!

See ya!

New blogkin 2 ((:

Another new blogskin?
HAH.
I guess I don't trust blogskin.com already.
Because the pictures they use are all uploaded into photobucket.
And then there's error.

So, I decided to design my own blogskin.
HAH, there it is, after 3 hours of hardwork.
I rather like doing html, its quite fun..
but the process is hectic, like making the pictures looks in order.

Here's the process of how it is made:

The original template:









After putting the box and some editings:


















Then I put in the dogs pictures!:









Then use picnik to add in the header:









Picnik is a really good website, easy to use and good for editing pictures.
you can add text, shapes on to your pictures,
change your pictures effects and create framebox!
So its really nice for those who likes to edit pictures. :D

COOL!

Hey guys! I'm back.
Let's have some updates on what's going on.

SAT:
I went to IT show with my sisters,
ONE word: SARDINES.
yes, its a lot of people, we were squashed with the crowd of fishes.
well, partly because that's the peak hour time.

hmm, i wanted to get a new mp3 player, i mean, those can watch videos.
and on friday, I even spent like the whole day to find converters for my videos.
the worst thing in this IT Show is that, we wanted to get creative players.
Just when we reached there, climb the long and crowded escalator, AND FOUND OUT THAT CREATIVE HAS PULLED OUT OF THE SHOW!

FINE, haha. we spent about one to two hours there and we went for dinner with my arms aching.
(it should be legs aching, but its the other way around though)
As previously, I went to challenger to check out prices, so we travelled back to pasir ris and found out that they left the 16GB ones. It was 9plus at night. You can't imagine how tired and disappointing and unfruitful this trip was, and i was out for the whole day.

Well, in the end, we decided to courts the next day.

SUN:
After YF, we went mega courts, happily thinking that BIGGER store should have more MP3 PLAYERS. well, there isn't even a sign of the player that we wanted to get, so another wasted trip. Then we went back and forth from tampines courts to century square's best denki, asking for that model and the price. We spent at least 2 to 3 hours over there. In the end, I got my mp3 player, same one as my little sis, while my elder sis decided that she would buy other models.

ANYWAY! Tried out my player and its still okay, so far, no problems with it. I can use it quite well, not much difficulties. I own a creative player though. This is my second one. HHA (:

This post is all about buying my gadets? HAH.
Anyway, had to plan alot of things.
SPY and Wanhong, I need to confirm the cycling trip on friday.
And we can also discuss what date and day we can all go for the ice cream trip too!

I'm FISHY!
That's all.

PS: I'm putting up pictures that my sister took at the esplanade, there was this moasic concert i think. and they had neon lights sculpture and its really cute and nice. HAH!

That's all!
TOODLES!

Confidence Booster!

OKAY, here's what I found on the net.

Here are 5 Things you can instantly do to get a confidence boost:

(1) Fake it till you make it; Act as if you are confident and before you realize it your acting it becomes the real confidence you seek.

(2) Focus on the task and not the crowd; by focusing on what needs to be done be it giving a speech or negotiating a deal your confidence come flooding back because you are an expert on what you do.

(3) Visualize yourself carrying out the task; there is power in visualization, see yourself confidently stepping up to the podium or confidently facing a potential prospect and before you know it you are acting out what you visualized.

(4) Smile; a smile can do you a lot of good when you are feeling a bit under, before you realize it people are smiling back and you are back on track.

(5)Reaffirm your self belief; Take a deep breath and reaffirm your self belief, self talk can make a great deal of difference.

And I seriously need confidence booster for my piano.
Had my exam at feb, I guess i'm not suitable for performing.
I was real nervous and get my scales wrong, that that was my worst exam ever.
Even playing in church, I can't imagine when I played well at home, I still got slips at church.
Where can I get my confidence from?
Today, I had my piano lessons, somehow unconsciously, I thought of giving up on piano.
I just couldn't get over the exam but my passion is still there.
I don't have any confidence in taking the next grade exam.


Next thing: Gotta get very busy for FYP. Going back to school for three days to settle FYP stuffs.Ohya, next week my group have to do ice cream for the yu ren sheng and principal to try. HAH! TOTAL sians.


ANYWAY!!! I'll be going to the IT show at suntec city next week, sat.
I can't wait to get my new mp3.
I'm giving my mum my old player so she can listen to her songs!

Going off to read mangas.
I don't care if I'm addicted to it! (:

so see ya!
