Early

Wow! First time in a long time i'm home this early! Quite refreshing...

Just had gig at the home of this ESPN lady at Serangoon gardens. Very nice people. Very warm and welcoming.. It was also very warm, literally. Haha.. But all was good..

Today's is TONE's official last X'mas gig. No more x'mas songs for another year! I can't believe it's x'mas in 2 days already. Gosh. The year just zooms past me like that. I know this might be a little morbid and stuff, but it's times like these that makes me wonder about death. As time whizzes pass so quickly, during the brink of our deaths, how would we recall our lives? Haha.. Okok. Crap enough.

All the events, all the people in our lives- so much has been collected in my mere 18 years of existence. What will I be in 60 years time?

And this hails me to think, Tone has progressed quite a lot in the past year. It's been one year officially that this (hopefully longlasting) set of singers are together. We've grown in our blend and most certainly our stage quality and stage "babble" (if you may).
Wonder again, how will we be in say, 5 years down the road... Hmmm...

Christmas always begs alot of questions. I think it's the love and the general social atmosphere. Everyone is about gathering and loving and vacations that it makes you take things out of their system for a bit and acquire some thoughts about life and how it has progressed.

Or maybe it's just the end of the year; as they always say, an ending begs more questions than answers. Ok, i admit, that is not what THEY always say, but what JEREMY HO always thinks.
Haha..

Moving on to something less lunatic-ish:
Tone bought wine for Angie & Alex as a x'mas gift and I was the one that chose it and paid for it first. And again, the lady at the counter did not ask for my i/c. Do i really look that old???
goodness....

This is TONE's official X'mas picture:

Life as it is.

=Life update, Begin=

It's now post A levels. One (some ex-students say the most) trying period of my life is over!
Finally get a chance to blog again i.e. Finally get some free time/some time to babble instead of regurgitating population data/geographical processes/shakespearean quotes/economics concepts.

Been thoroughly busy after the exams. One day after the last paper and i'm down for a trip to Western Australia (Roadtrip vacation). It was fantastic! Beautiful sights, slowed down pace, new experiences and most of all, great company!

And right after the trip was straight down to rehearsals in view of X'mas performances which are still going on. Busy busy busy. Literally no time to breathe!

Now that everything has more or less settled down, repertoire fixed, attire fixed and i've got into the routine of travelling in and out for performances, i have more time on my hands to head to the gym/chill out/watch movies. But of course swimming or running is out of the question since it's still pouring for the 2nd day non-stop! Arrrggghhh.. Where's my beloved Sun!?

Though, I have to say it's a little cosy and romantic wiht the rain going on. Too bad it falls on weekdays - all those missed time in the afternoon cuddling and relaxing on bed... Mmmmm....

Joe's away on holiday with Dad and brother. I miss him a lot. Miss those silly late drunken nights. He'll be back tml! YAY!

So so so.. Still looking for a job... Sent in 3 applications for part-time work yesterday: 2 service staff positions & 1 writing work. No reply from them yet. Wonder how long will they take? Or maybe i'm under-experienced. Hmmmm....

And will be heading to KL from 27th-30th! Whoohoo! Can see god parents again! :D

=Life update, Complete=

Now, here are some little photographs taken from Western Australia.

Now I can say I have actually been to a LIMESTONE CAVE! Booya! Haha.. It's the Ngilgi cave (what a mouthful) in Yallingup, south of Perth. It's absolutely gorgeous and very deep. U actually find breathing slightly more challenging when down there.

Ferocious birds in Freemantle. Tackling the plates for leftover foods by the docks.. Quite scary. Reminds me of Singaporeans at a sale.

Me at Magaret River in the magaret river county. Very quaint and relaxed little town. Was also around the corner by car which i bought my Dad's birthday gift: a Vasse Felix merlot (red wine).

Ok.. That's all for now.. Will blog soon again!

Have a gd'dae mate! *_^
