announcements announcements! number one. the acjc string ensemble will be playing for the chinese theatre circle's chinese opera next january.. apparently, its the first full-length chinese opera in english, and played by Western instruments.. i always wondered about these firsts.. how do you know youre really the first? for all you know theres some really small, little-known one someplace else far far away.. there isnt an inventory of all the concerts in the world right? or is there...?anyways, lets just assume it really is the first.. and well, even if it isnt, thats not an excuse for you to miss it.. ive only heard the strings parts of it and i imagine itll sound rather interesting when put together with the winds and percussion.. i dont usually start advertising for stuff this early, but its sounding quite cool so you better get your ticket haha! its on the 26th, if im not wrong.. and at the drama centre, also if im not wrong.. cos i cant find the yellow paper which tells me the synopsis of the story and where and when and all that stuff.. anyways, i noticed that tan kang ming has been saying "good" alot.. either number one, we really are getting alot better.. number two, he just wants to encourage us.. number three, he expects so little of us that any small step seems like a large leap.. or number four. i simply wasnt paying attention to what he said in the past.. and dont ask me why i call our conductor tkm.. it just registers faster in my brain somehow.. if you say "mr tan", ill take two seconds to make the connection.. ps. dont tell him, but i think he does look rather dashing (from a distance) when he wears whatever it is that he wears during sso concerts hahaha.. shhh! number two. for neopets lovers, you probably already know this but... *drumroll* the Advent Calendar is back! :) *grins grins* for those who dont already know, the advent calendar is only operational during the month leading up to christmas, and its where you get free "limited edition" stuff and free neopoints.. thats certainly something to celebrate about, isnt it? speaking of christmas.. christmas arrives really early in singapore.. first it starts with the orchard road lightup and all the early deco at all the major malls.. then you start hearing the good ol' christmas carols.. and then, believe it or not, my mum has already wrapped most of my relatives christmas gifts.. (psst. so has my grandmother!) meh, im officially in the broke status, so dont get your hopes up on getting a christmas present from me.. anyways. i think maybe giving presents during christmas has kinda lost its meaning for my mum.. it has become an obligation.. i was helping to do the wrapping and my sister was complaining about how slowly i was wrapping.. for every one i wrapped, she wrapped three or four.. hey i dont normally do present-wrapping and stuff okay.. im more of the "oh its christmas again, what shall i do?" sort of person.. but i made an effort to like try and wrap it nicely.. (and no, im not known for my artistic abilities either) theirs was.. err, i shall not say.. anyways. i remember when i was younger i received this present which i cant even remember what it was, but the way it was wrapped had me positively thrilled. it was like a shirt, with the collar and the sleeves and all.. it was so cool, i remember it till now.. i dont even remember who gave it to me.. but anyways, when doing your christmas stuff this holidays, remember, a small effort goes a long way.. okay maybe in this case a lot of effort (believe me, i should know, from all my wrapping experience) goes a really long way..
