Reach the sky;

Right then. So recently I've been busy, but enjoying it. Played guitar hero for the 1st time recently. And I CANNOT play the drums. For nuts. Sides' from that, Ruihan can cook. Really well. Even more 'wow' if you compare him to me who can't even separate egg yolks from the white. Well, I never exactly hid the fact that I failed Home-Ec anyways.

So I got a guitar early this week, and it isn't as easy as I heard it was(I do believe it was Aunt Julie who told me that when I was still in Aussie). Whatever it is, it's a big fat lie. The only song I can play is Heart of Worship, and even that has numerous pitfalls in the duration of the song when I play it. My fingers, are stiff, and halfway through they decided it's time to play statue and well, there ya' have it. Everything just jams. So I really need a teacher. Or I'll just end up butchering my fingers for absolutely no reason.

So volunteers are welcome.

I found out I have the exact same guitar as Rachel. I recall she described it as "Toast bread burnt around the edges". So true. I remember I asked Sis Rainne how long it takes to learn the guit. Apparently one month is enough if you have passion. Well then, in this case I'm an exception then. Cos' I'm just not good at it. Oh well. And who said purple was a royal shade? My fingers beg to differ.

I also discovered I like David Archuleta way more than David Cook. I mean what's with the moustache? First it was a fuzzball. Now it's like the beard got a shave and he's sporting a buzz cut 'round his mouth. But in case I'm giving any wrong ideas, I do not watch/like American Idol. It's WAY overrated. Really. I mean, how many more years(not to mention identical replicas all across the globe) does it take for them to realise that they're just mass producing "stars"? I actually think those that approach the producers and audition have more guts then those who just go for their stint at fame during A.I. season. Then again, I guess the producer's are just in it for the money they collect from the thousands of fanatics who make sure they exhaust their wallets to vote someone into the finals.

Enough of that then. Confusing this blog post is no? It's a runaway train of thought I tell ya'.

And I'm just being reminded about my pathetic niche areas by Rachel. Haha. She asks: "I've been meaning to ask you. What piano grade are you?" My answer? "3!(after 10 years no less)" I'm so great. So now I'm being made to remember what my mom said a few days ago. It goes like this...

Mom: Xi Wen ar. What's your forte? All your friends have something they're really good at. Some good at drawing, some good at cooking, you leh?
Me: Ers... Who's good at drawing?

But it's true to a certain degree. I don't have a forte. Unless you count slacking, and maybe being rougher than most girls my age. I'm not even like Xi Yuan, who gamely calls herself the "Jack of all trades". Great. Think pleasant thoughts Xi Wen.

Ok enough moping. There's still a tonne worth of maths worksheets to do. Sides' there's still plenty of room for perfection in the Heart of Worship Xiwen Style. Oh well. Plus, there needs some searching for more footy competitions and DSA admission schemes. Lolz. Just cos' I'm not confident for O' levels despite the school's promising statistics.

So now thanks to Rachel, YET AGAIN, I am made to think of what my goal is. XiYuan's one is in bold. "I AM THE FUTURE PILOT". She'll get there for sure. I'm 100% positive. Maybe I'll go sit on the balcony and think it out. Oh wait, I don't have a balcony anymore. Unless I climb out the window and into it. Cos' I just remembered last night, the door got filled and converted into a wall.

I've decided I'm going to change the blog skin cos'Xi Yuan AND Rachel complain it's too small for their eyes. Fine be that way. Grrr....

It's where I am- not where I've been

You make me want to live
You make me want to live
You came to shake us
And to wake us up to something more
Than we'd always settled for
And you make me want to live

But am I stirring from my sleep? Am I opening my eyes to the world around me?
