Nun who chants, play music

My ears have been trained to pick out tunes that dun harmonise well, squicky sounds or beats that do not have a rhythm. Well, not as sharp as before but still good enough to pick fault with a brass band whose musicians are not in sync.

Just looking at the kids and listening to the familar pieces played brought back memories of those days playing in a band... Miss fiddling with my tuba, the achievement of playing difficult pieces and of course my band-mates. I used to be very reliant on my team-mate.. Would panic whenever he couldnt come for practice or would be late cos I know I would NEVER be able to master and play the piece as well as he did.

Actually I was thankful to have him with me during these band-playing days. Time pass quickly with him around and every practice was filled with laughter. Best part, nobody knew what we were giggling about. The "euphonium-player" would look over, cocked his eyebrows & gave us the "what???"-face ... ha.ha.. why does he care anyway... *chay*

Those band-playing days are definitely one of the best periods of my life but I dun intend to pick up where I left off ...

.... Too lazy .. ..

Cut MY Hair

It's bizarre but I understand the impulse of cutting hair or shaving hair by Britney Spears. The drastic changing of hairstyle ESP cutting your hair to most people is a sign of LIBERATION. Sweeping away bad luck, starting afresh or whatever you call it... it's cathartic ..

I had my mane chopped off recently before CNY. I explained that I'm sick of THE hairstyle. but THat's half truth... Im trying to cut away months of stress and negative thoughts that managed to seep out from my scalp and coated my hair strands.

I need to get away.
I felt the impulse to run away.
Im trying to get away.

If it's someonelse who is in my position, would she/he felt the same way too ?
