LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

the past weekends have been flying by with warp speed, what with rehearsals, dance classes and all.

here's an extreme example of how the saturday that's just past went...


my cymbals

the instrument i'll be playing in the percussion performance in tunisia.

the cymbals mean a lot to me because they're the first thing i learnt in lion dance.

of course, they're the only thing i know in lion dance still, but that's not the point. =P

my musical background, coupled with my skills learnt from yeung ching scouts and lion dance, had me pick up the rhythm and style of our performance item within two practices.

so thank you, yeung ching, for giving me the basics. =)

i'll be accompanied in the chinese drums team by yvonne and melissa...


wendy, yvonne, melissa

wendy and melissa were the original drummers, but wendy got pregnant (cool shit eh?) and yvonne came in to take her place.

after percussion rehearsals from 9am to 1pm, it was a harried lunch followed by a bloody long cab ride to bukit chandu...


frown lines

...where the first malay regiment in the war were slaughtered.

i was to host an event there that was supposed to start at 7.30pm or so.

i had to be there by 2.30pm. go figure.


here's where i stand...

uhhuh...here's my view at the events i attend.

i usually host those i do go to. =(

after the third rehearsal of an hour of non-stop talking...my voice just cracked, and threatened to go on me.

by the start of the award ceremony, i had to "shout" to get my words out.

it wasn't a pretty sight...though i could still crack those signature serene jokes.

thankfully, it all went relatively well so i decided to stop being lazy and snap some pictures of the events i go to for the blog...


funny faizal

he always says "eh serene...again you tell jokes i don't understand!"

adorable man.


me and andrew

one of those who always has a ready smile and a witty comment for me whenever our eyes meet. =)

and finally...


bubba and me

old friends, fated friends...whatever they call it.

i think i'm a uniform gal...i kinda look all right in most of'em. =P
