roller bladed and cycled for 4-5 hours !!!! wow..... how much sweat we've lost.. heh

anyway... i went to Music Therapy workshop in SYC.. too bad they didn attend... its a very good workshop where Hui Min, our previous IIC, returned from UK (sorry my mistake for those whom i've told Germany)... she taught us the reason of Music Therapy than other... basic reason was... " can you cover your ears for very long period? " and another reasons were "it was rhythm that keeps us moving" & "Kids can use songs to communicate when they cant speak" (to certain illness where the left-side of your brain unable you to speak but you can actually sing)

She attended this kid who is (to me) anti-social... where his teachers and friends wanna communicate to him, yet he either turned his head away or stares at them blankly...

so what she did was... first taught him a 'hello song' to say hello to ppl using song... and then communicate with him through playing percussion (its for the effect of attention).. and its hilarious where Hui Min played a symbol when that kid was still wacking the drum... and then stared at her !!! so cute and funny...

and after their 6 sessions (its like an attachment), that kid actually tried to communicate with his peers and teachers !! and when she came back to see him.. he was actually screaming around the room, running around !!! so interesting !!!!

for those who having hearing disabled... they will ask them to sit on the wooden floor and play percussion.. its because of the vibration on the flooor.. but she never continued how it was done..

ok today... for my 2nd time.. i went to Kbox... i sang horribly... too soft when sang higher pitch... and got memory lapst... anyway.. i shall never sing again... must try..

yay.. i bought new bass !!!! wooooot.. its actually the one that i've used for my exam.. i like it... this time... really.... i must take good care of it... i really hope it wont happen again... the damage and stuff... really.. i have this phobia...

ate steamboat at marina bay.... whoa.... darn filling !!!!! as usual... the first one to be the weakest link... where i ate the least.. but drank the most (water)..

ok.. Wee Liang shared with me about being compassionate towards others... that we must be compassionate by loving one an another... without saying 'i hate you' 'i detest/despice you'.... when you see someone doing wrong things.. especially your friends... you'll inform them... however towards stranger... the modern days are very tough.. where ppl will find you weird, irritating or will reply 'MYOB' (SBS bus's favourite advertisement)

Love... its not by saying I Love You just being by your side... or bla bla...... loving someone is when you want them to grow... allowing their dreams to come true by support them.. and not because of your selfishness that spoil their happiness... its like father teaching his son crossing a drain compared to the one carrying his son over..... on the surface..... the one carrying his son over SHOWS he love him..... however that wont made his son grow by thinking of ways to cross over..... the one teaching his son crossing over... is the love that is actually PURE.... thats for an example..

giving a person a trial and making him think of a ways to overcome is the true love...

Courage is most essential part of our life.. being courageous to start something new is where you learn, have courage to 'trial and error'.... have courage to accept failure..... have courage to perform (for my case), have courage to..... OOPS MY NOSE IS BLEEDING !!!!! must be too much steamboat..... go take tissue and stuff into nose..

ok... as i was saying... have courage to pursue your dreams.... thats important.... have courage to listen things that you dont want.... have courage not to hate..... have courage to accept change..

there's alot of courage catagory.... saying is easy than done...... but to have courage.... must be compassionate !

ok... after all the talking.... let the photos tell more.....
