Bits & Pieces...

Sorry for not keeping my blog up to date...have been so super-busy with my 101 assignments…It’s been crazy! All my online ventures have been really short…long enough to retrieve the notes my lecturers put online. That only takes about 15 minutes tops…sorry again.

Well nothing really exciting has happened since I last checked in here. Life has been really boring. Oh ya…my sister went for an appendicitis operation a few days back. She’s fine now, just has to rest a lot.

Right now, I’m learning how to play the drums. We had a jamming session at the church in Changlun the other day and boy, was it fun or what!! It has been one of my deepest desire (along with climbing the Everest and visiting the Pyramids) to learn how to play the drums and be really good at it. My little brother, who’s so good at drums absolutely refused to teach me. One of my juniors, Luke volunteered for the job…God bless him! Never thought I was so uncoordinated until I actually played the drums. How on earth do I get both my hands and my right leg to play at different times? They seem to have a mind of their own when I’m on the drums. Just couldn’t seem to control them…sigh.

Took me a long time but I’ve finally done it…thanks to the long practices in my room using my highlighter pens as drum sticks. My aim is to go back and give my too-cool-for-my-sister brother a shock of his life when he sees that I actually know how to play…hehe.

One disappointing thing that happened was the class trip to Thailand got cancelled because of the bird flu...really sad. Especially since I was so excited about it and also because I kinda like boasted about this trip to everyone else…sigh. Now I’ve got nothing to show off…what a sad, sad life.

I’ve officially certified certain family members of mine (namely, my uncle-my mom’s younger brother) absolutely crazy. This uncle of mine has got it into his head to go overseas to work. Where, you ask? Well if it were Singapore or Japan or England, I wouldn’t call him crazy. But do you know where he’s going? AFHGANISTAN…there, I’ve said it. It’s a crazily crazy idea, if you ask me. Of all the places to go to…for once in my life, I’m just left speechless (that doesn’t happen often, believe me). There must be over 100 countries in the world and he had to choose that one. Why, you ask? I, with all my creative ideas and superb logical thinking, can’t, for the life of me, think of a single reason why he’d go there…I’m actually still in shock. HELP!!!
