- My replacement classes for a maternity teacher will soon be over. I'll finally have my Sunday holiday again. Teaching four back to back group classes certainly gave a real headache, sore throat and fever over the two months but the kids were great and cooperative. I won't really miss them (truth). I learned how to stand as a leader even when I have not taught the course. I'll definitely be a better teacher to my own class who will be going to that level soon.

- The thing about learning something always ends with an evaluation or examination. For every piano and electone book my kids complete, they need to sit for an exam. And when I concentrate on the exam, I notice I do not teach new stuff eg. chord progression, improvisation, accompaniment pattern as there is no time to accommodate these interesting subjects. Are exams really important? Or are they a show of achievement of what the children have been learning?

- I finally did the boldest thing in my entire teenage life. I ordered books online and it will be delivered about a month's time. It's the awesome and guilty feeling of exposing my personal details on the internet. Well, I didn't put in my real name =P

- I want to sing onstage. It's my wildest dream since I was nine. I still have a recorded CD of how my voice sounds like when I sang out of pitch. Horrendous. And I didn't sing live when we did the concert. It was just me opening my mouth and letting air escape in case I forgot the lyrics. Pity. And I want to sing, now, in front of everyone with the butterflies and tornado in my tummy.

- I love proofreading for typos. But grammar wise, I'm sorry. For years, my dad spend his hard earned money on Enid Blyton and Carolyn Keene. Didn't do me any good. Sorry for all the grammar errors throughout this blog
