Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

My first Piano Lesson! I felt overjoyous! Been practising rather diligently! I dont hope to play those Mozzart pieces anytime soon! Infact not in the near years! Just being able to play Jingle Bells for now will suffice! Haha! It feels really good to be able to play an instrument I've been longing to for a good 3 years now! Hmm I dont know if I can post audio clips on these but Ill try to upload a piece that I can play! Dont expect anything glamorous! Cant wait for the next lesson!
let your heart out.

Almost forgot to write about Chinese New Year! Not that I have lots to write about collecting money in red packets! But after having been here for 3 years, it was the first time I actually went for Chinese New Year visiting during people;s Open House. It was surely not when I got my first Hang Pau? Is that what they call it? Plastic, crispy money in red packets! I got my first one from my Jack - Huiling. It was an envelope with elaborate chinese design in gold and symbols that I suppose meant prosperity, peace?. It had - suspense suspense - S$2, $S3, $$$SSS?? how many? Chocolates - my favourite ones -Nougats, pure dark chocolate! I couldn't have been happier to receieve them! Oh well that was 3 years ago! This time around I went to visit Michael. Happened to meet Alex there! My my hes omnipotent! Spoke to my batchmate Joel for the very first time! Strange place to meet new people eh? The next day Sims, Zhi Wei and I went to Hans' place! His nieces are adorable! Reallie reallie cute! It was difficult being there for a while - strange not knowing what to say other than Kong Ci Fa Chai - someone corect me please! Nonethless, I felt happy having visited! Went to Dedrick's place then! And played Mahjong! Sometimes I seriously consider the option of being a thai thai playing mahjong all day! But I'm terrible at it! Oh well, and thats where my long weekend ended! Integration as one of my close friends mentioned is rather important. I am not sure whether I felt integrated, but I definitely felt happy having made an attempt to join in during the festive season and wish close friends! ~Happy Chinese New Year~
