My New Toy
Samsung Pixon

I bought this because my Sony hp is dying. I loved my cybershot phone, I loved how that hp used to take very nice pictures. This current one I have is an 8 megapixel camera hp but still the quality of the camera lens lose out to Sony's.

Food Entry

It was Easter Weekend and we went down to the newly opened Tampines 1. It was so crowded that we found it impossible to walk along the narrow pathway. We gave up initially and found ourselves at Fish by Fish & Co for dinner.

Congrats to Uniqvoices!

My school choir has attained a Silver award for this year's SYF choral competition. It has been tough and long journey for them. With focused minds, they sang well for the set piece. However when they sang the first choice piece, This little babes by Benjamin Britten, they sounded rather sharp. The conductor tried his best to direct them using his hands to remind them to sing with support, but they failed. The second choice piece, Ma Yi La, (pretty maiden) was ok and sounded sweet. We waited for the results to be announced at 5.15pm. There were a number of choirs attaining bronze and certificate of participation. Our hearts sank. Finally, when our school's name was called and the most awaited word 'Silver' was announced, our choir screamed with joy.

Congrats once again...Uniqvoices have done a great job! Well done!

On a lighter note...

My Sec 3e6 EL class...

The sweet & lovable bunch!

When everything seemed bleak...

The title of this post says it all...everything seemed bleak and dark to me this particular month.

Things happened. I know and I should be grateful it did not happen to me...but still, I am saddened when I think about it.

To protect his identity, I will not post his pictures or name him.

He got married in November 2008 and lived happily together with his wife and parents. He began to live a healthier lifestyle, go for regular jogs with his wife and all. It was just yesterday, he went jogging alone, went home feeling exhausted, slumped into his massage chair in the living room and then went unconscious. His wife found him not responding to her calls and the ambulance was called, but it was too late. His heart stopped on the way to the hospital.

My heart goes out to her and his family. I know it is going to be a difficult time for them. I pray that God will bless his family and protect his family members.

I am attending the wake later in the evening.

Till then...
