PleasantInterlude

P l e a s a n t I n t e r l u d e

I am not the potter, not the potter's wheel,
but the potter's clay;
is not the value of the shape attained
as dependent upon the intrinsic worth of the clay as upon the wheel and the Master's skill?

with only 4 days left, it's time to make full use of some vouchers that I have.

had lunch at bakerzin tampines 1 this afternoon. ordered pork chop with potatoes and linguini with bratwurst balsamico. the linguini was nice albeit giving oily after taste in my mouth. had a complimentary warm chocolate for dessert. yummy as usual.

bought a striped scarf from g2000, also using one of the voucher. I decided not to use the 20% discount at body shop though.. it's not good for my wallet :p

thank God the singing went smoothly for today's wedding, including for the beauty of the earth which was sung as march-in song, with the organ covering up some piano parts :p and now I can enjoy singing ave verum corpus as well, much better compared to the first time learning it - it was like a never-ending song then.

with that, I guess I concluded my singing contribution in friends' weddings.

can't believe it took me about 2 hours to reach St. Mary's from my office. terrible, terrible traffic jam. arrived there famished and in need of toilet visit.. :s

had our last choir practice before the big day this saturday. at first it just was not right. the balance, the blend, the dynamics, the tempo, the accompaniment, even the chords! lower the mics' sensitivity and you can hear close to nothing; make it more sensitive and you can hear all individual voices. sigh. the dilemma of St.Mary's sound system.

but after a few rounds, it gradually became better.. or so we thought, haha..

could not wake up as late as I wished. so I had a lazy morning instead, made banana smoothie while surfing the net before the day started.

had a rushed lunch at mcD before meeting friends and going to SFA church for friends' wedding service, followed by tea reception.

watched 2012 at tampines mall, followed by belated birthday dinner treat. thank you! *you know who you are* :)

it's beginning to look A LOT like christmas.. a tropical christmas, that is. and with APEC 2009, all the more reason for the country to dress up even prettier.

at bugis junction:

at central:

at ION orchard:

after meeting a few friends for dimsum dinner at geylang lor 27, we purposely went to orchard road to enjoy the christmas light up. the more crowded the street, the better it was =p

the blue color theme from tanglin road..

was finally changed to gold at orchard road - scotts road junction..

tangs was bathed in gold..
