yaks. i lost my stamina for buffets. in previous years i would regularly go for buffet every weekend with my mum. from hotels to restaurants, we practically roam the entire island scouting for good buffet. those were the days. wasn't my old self when i ate the buffet at sakura today. other then the sashimi and seafood, the rest was not really fantastic. once again dead raw oysters are served, seems to be the trend in all these international buffet spread. aye can't ask for much when its only $20.

finished the orange honey liquid soap and low and behold, mum pop the cranberry liquid soap in the bathroom. cranberry roxs. i should try mixing all the soap together to make a fruit punch: strawberry+orange+cranberry+grape+the new passion fruit. ill try not to mix it up with the fruit punch in the fridge.

the pianist. an amazing survival story of Wladyslaw Szpilman during ww2. against all odds, this concert pianist survived the impossible, probably the only survivor from Warsaw. saw this oscar winning movie recently on hbo. fantabulous. excellent Chopin pieces played by Janusz Olejniczak. i really loved Ballade for piano No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23, CT 2 (Four Ballades). simply loved it. anyway this movie had a message: miracles do happen. even when all seems impossible, somehow somewhere help will come. szpilman's webby can be found at http://www.szpilman.net/

omg. i just saw some saxophonist on tv at chinatown performing. they can't play for nutz. 2 saxophonist playing the same tune that sounded like 2 different parts of the piece. i wonder how these pple manage to get to play for such an occasion.
my neighbour upstairs is still trying to master the richard clayderman piece. he/she 's been playing it for like months. every time i play my sax, he/she would start his/her richard clayderman piece. at least its not the variations on twinkle twinkle little star that he/she's been playing last year. Wasbe wind band conferrence is coming. n i have no $ to go for the concerts. wat a bummer. and! the dame gillian weirs playing the king of instrument* is having her debut performance on the 25 feb! i wanna hear the klais orgelbau in action! 4740 pipes in all! to go or not to go?
