Wow, its been one heck of a ride. The fasting month of Ramadhan went by so fast! Within a split second, I was wishing people all around me a happy Eid Mubarak! Its just so amazing how time can fly by so so fast! You know how they say, a picture tells a thousand words? I’ll be writing thousands of words with just this blog post alone baybeh! (((:

Damn, been hangin’ with them a lot ever since they came down to Singapore ever since term began. Got to know em’ from the Yummilicious food tour I helped head in NUS (see my previous blog posts! ((:). Most of em’ are from Australia, but 2 of them are from Hawaiiiii, one’s from Japan, and a handful are from Hongkong. :D Damn fun bunch of people to hang out with. OH, and can’t forget LEEROYYYY JENKINS and Kevin too. hahaha.


Fooooood Spread!

OH! And other pics that we had on other outings! (:

The Original Music Society

Man, its been one heck of a ride with these guys in school. Having fun just chilling with em’, attending indie gigs around Singapore and stuffs. I’ve also been made Marketing I/C, and we’re organizing something biggg next year in school. That, and spearheading our re-emergence into the school and the local music scene. I’m soooo excited! ((: Anyways, next up are pictures from a gig in school that we attended, hosted by one of our close sister society, RadioPulze! One of the more prolific local and up-and-coming bands The Oslo Castaways performed that night. They totally rocked! Pictures follow:D :

Another pic from one of them gigs (Amateur Takes Control, a local rock hypnotic-instrumental-type band, who totally rocks by the way! :D ):

On the Singapore GP Race Track!:

Credits to my friend Woei Png for them great shots and Singapore Flyer pics! (((:

Oh, and I totally improved my swim time! Its weird, because I’ve never really improved this drastically before. Its weird. Usually my standard swim times for 500metres (standard free-style) would be really close to 9mins 40+ seconds, and I maintained it along that timing for a the past one year, which is really slow by race standards, but weirdly after I started training with the power-paddles (to build endurance and power in my strokes) 2 months ago (as you can see in my previous blog post ((:) , without any swim aids, I managed to cut it down to 8mins 37 seconds the last time I checked last Friday. I cut down nearly a minute in 2 months! I swear to god, I’m gonna do this. I’m gonna improve so much the NUS swim team can’t find any reason NOT to get me into the team next year! (((: Wish me luckkk!(:

JOY & CELEBRATION: PIANO - Prestissimo :D

Filed under: — Reizou Tachikawa @ 1:59 pm

OH MY GOD LOOK:

After 6 months of random interspersals of practicing and NOT practicing, and this being my first piano exam EVARRR.

I got 120 out of 130 possible marks, and that means I got a Merit pass (highest would be a 130 - Distinction :D)! I was pleasantly surprised when my piano teacher sms’ed me in the morning with the great news. OH.MY.GOD. hahahaha.

I’m already preparing for my grade 5 theory exams next year March ‘09. WISH ME LUCK FOR THAT ONE.

Mom: I know I didn’t want to learn the piano when I was really young, because me, being the lazy bum I was, didn’t want to do so ): I’m making up for it now aren’t I? :D GRADE 8. I want to play Beethoven’s Sonata No. 14 C sharp minor Op. 27 No. 2 (3RD MOVEMENT OF BEETHOVEN’S MOONLIGHT SONATA). ONE DAY I TELL YA, ONE DAY :D

Take a look at how it sounds like!:
