Are you a musician?
Are you a musician who sometimes feel you’re not good enough..who sometimes feel lousy about yourself? Well, I was just reading this journal, and this struck me: ” Musicians need refined auditory and cognitive skills to listen and understand music, motor skills to interact with their instruments (often involving high-speed coordination and timing precision far beyond that normally required in everyday life or other professions), the ability to plan and structure their practice sessions, specific skills associated with sight-reading, improvisation, memory, intonation and expression, social skills to interact with other ensemble musicians, the ability to overcome and manage performance anxiety, and detailed knowledge of their specific instrument.” I’m like, wow,…

Self Sacrificial Blobbies
Oh my goodness, I totally dig this advert when I first saw it! It’s about some paint that dropped out of the Nippon van and became Blobbies, some kind of around bubbly colourful monsters that ran the streets to paint some buildings, sacrificially, by splashing themselves on walls…whoever did this, I really love it! Especially the details of the weird slow mo focus on the faces of the Yellow Blobby complete with a broken tooth…very funny!

I actually paid RM0.02 for the room for 2 nights, RM16.80 for the administrative fees, and RM 10.49 for 12 hours credit of air cond, that ‘s a total of RM27.31! I’ve never stayed in a cheaper room. <a href=”https://www.flickr.com/photos/leona/15880075472″ title=”P1250434 by Leona, on Flickr”><img src=”https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7486/15880075472_479ef5bcf7.jpg” width=”500″ height=”375″ alt=”P1250434″></a> The only thing is, the hotel is not in town, but a bit far off. So, we needed to rent a car to get around. <a href=”https://www.flickr.com/photos/leona/15693075038″ title=”P1250153 by Leona,…

Sacrifice
Like a candle and a match One is ignited to give light to the other The match burned for the moment To allow the candle to burn brighter The beautiful flow of the candle Gives light, gives warmth Signifies hope, love and life Burning itself that others might rejoice Eventually the candle burns itself out Its fire glowing brightest Before finally fading As the fire goes out, it dies The match watches in agony Yet nothing can be done The match has given its only fire It cannot light another The candle is now but wax But the hope, life and love it’s given Does not go forgotten Yes it…
