Still feeling christmas-y, I went carolling in public for my first time yesterday

My ex choir coach, Melvin Ho, hooked me up with a contract to perform in KLCC for 5 days. I'm singing the soprano one part in a six person a capella group called "Vox-tonne" -_-"". If anyone happens to be in KLCC this weekend evening do throw us roses on the centre court stage ok!!

Lack of practice due to many, many cancelled sessions required us to do a very last minute meet up at melvin's place. But that's alright, only because he has lots of pets in his condo

Including sugar gliders!

so chu bi! (cute in hokkien)

this is Stripey and she marah'ed me by squeaking cos i held back my finger to take this picture .

My dream pet is currently the sugar glider.They are such small, intelligent little things. They can actually bond to a keeper like how dogs do. I can imagine bringing my little suggie in a bonding pouch to work and let my manager baby sit it when i'm busy making lattes. Then when i'm done i'll call it and it'll come gliding to me

However keeping a suggie is quite time consuming, as they need at least 3 hours of interaction a day or they'll die of depression  plus their noctournal so they'll only be active at night when i'm trying desperately to get some sleep. It's a lifetime commitment too because suggies have a life span of about 14 years.

It's like raising a teenager -__-

I don't mind keeping a fluffy little bunny too! I used to have 20+ running around in my garden. Like some rabbit farm, heehee

Being at home feels so lonely most of the time. Would like a pet to keep me sane and company.

emily and a bunny. Don't you think this place oozes "zen"?

some of my ex schoolmates are also in "vox-tonne". Namely emily in soprano 2 and debbie in alto.

Melvin has punctuality issues. He's always at least an hour late to practices. So it came as no surprise to us that we were still in the carpark of his condo at subang airport road with only 30 minutes till performance time. And mind you it was evening around 5 ish. We had no faith to reach there in half an hour with the office hour jam.

that, and the fact he still had to reiki us using his reiki powers before the journey. Reiki is this japanese technique which channels life force power. Apparently he took Reiki classes some time back so before i knew it, he was waving his arms around me channeling life force power O.o

emily had a sore throat, so he gave her hands some energy and asked her to keep her hands there throughout our whole journey there o.O

me and debbie! Haha, i did everyone's makeup. Imagine me, makeup woman.

stealing some extra practice time. He can drive and read a music score at the same time. Serious shit.

christmas in hard rock means santas on bikes!

our gazebo-ish stage

the poor poor organizer had to call 10 times to freak out on melvin's punctuality because we were 20 minutes late  we had to carol for 45 minutes so the crowd was small because they came, stopped to listen for awhile before continuing on their way. Messed up here and there but overall the organizer said we were "acceptable" -_- haha. The sound system was a little too soft though

a really good instrumental group performed after us and made us feel like chicken chop.

wheee! messing around in the dressing room

speed - tortoise or rabbit?

<3, Felt jelak halfway through though. If only you were there to share with

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stopped to search for a familiar face while passing by klcc's Chillis. It's been so long ago since i last seen or head from him. I only found out he was part timing there after meeting his father one day at Starbucks.

I didn't do much thinking though. What if i really saw him last night. What would i say? "Hi" Then what? What do you say and how do you react to an exboyfriend you've cut contacts with? "Are you still keeping teddy?" "Could you give me that recipe for the salmon you once made?" "So how have things been going with you and that girl in college". Then what are you going to think, that i'm crazy? Fickle? After all i was the one who started the avoiding business.

Sometimes i don't even know what i'm doing. No wonder men can't understand women.
