Since I've had a couple of requests from friendly neighbors across the causeway.

I'm gonna drop by to say Hello on from the 18th - 20th of December! Although it's horribly way off-course from the original September plan, I'm sure there are people patient enough to wait.

So, make way coming through. I've never played tourist much on your lovely Island before so that's an idea for you.

Currently the plan is that I'll arrive on 17th night & most likely be lodging at my relative's place in Toa Payoh.

As usual, please follow the following link and apply I look forward to some wonderful impressions of Singapore and their people!

          

Although this particular date was originally supposed to take place in October, but because of the constant chats (and thank goodness our offices are near each other), there was an impromptu slotted lunch date.

We met up at Jaya One and proceeded to Hanasen to satisfy our mutual craving for Salmon Sashimi... the guy can even answer questions with his head while having a California roll in his mouth!

Now although he didn't walk me to my car, which I initially insisted that he didn't need to even after he asked. (should have still walked me to my car, cause girls like to test boys like that =P ) Giving him the benefit of the doubt that he could be rushing off to his next appointment.

Since my next #SeptSocial date that night STOOD UP ON ME (that's ok, I've saved myself the trouble of making connections with a person like him) My lunch date, dropped by for coffee with me seeing I was all made up and I just wanted to go out. That makes up for the "didn't walk me to my car thing although I'm insistent and independent"  (Finicky me, but do take note tho )

I had an enjoyable chat on both occasions with him and am looking forward to see him in his best element when his shows are up.

Asides from the teasing, heavily pixelated picture (done on purpose) Here is a little clue related to who he may possibly be.

          

I would say, in the start I got conned by mom to play an instrument none of my older cousins were playing so I would be just that bit more 'special'. I never really understood my teachers because I was a young little 'banana' who would just nod her head at the end of every sentence spoken to her in Cantonese or Mandarin.

I was also forced to play by having mom using the cane to thwap my poor fingers when i refused two hours of practice a week.

Until I found the best teacher, who really cultivated my love for the string instrument...that I now play a whole range of classical string based intruments.. WHEE!

So today...mom found the notes to one of my favourite Gu Zheng pieces! I was so upset that I had lost A WHOLE FILE of my notes but when this one resurfaced, I made sure that I have this recorded so at least I can pen it down next time!

The Title of the piece is 王昭君 (wang zhao jun) One of the famous "Four Beauties of China". According to other legend and folklore, she commits suicide after her husband's death as her only resort in order to avoid marrying his son.
