It's going to be my convocation in just 8 more days! I managed to borrow an academic dress from my colleague. I invited my mum, my sis, and Auntie Sally. Maybe Leo too.
I visited my sister's place two weeks ago to celebrate Ruo Han's 3rd birthday. When I'm 35, she will be 11 years old. At that age I suppose we would be having intelligent conversations. I'm not sure if I look forward to it or not.
Auntie Sally asked me to pray every night for 3 months. I haven't been doing that... unfortunately. I'm so glad that she's always looking out for me though. Whether I believe in God or not, I do believe she was a Godsend for me.
Leo will be coming back next Thursday to escape the blazing hot Tokyo. Can't wait to see him again. He was here in March but it felt like so long ago. I feel like unless I keep a diary regularly I will forget about everything within a year.
Leo, Matt, and I are going to Weijian's place to spend the National Day. I bought two condenser mics from Amazon, and we're going to be singing Karaoke and playing drums in Weijian's room. It is both our wishes to turn our rooms into miniature music studios. I hope to be buying a keyboard soon and start learning to play it.
Those three are my closest friends these days. And it was all because I invited Weijian into the chat room... and You Liang left it. A small act without much thought in it could really turn out to change things greatly.
Weijian and I went to catch a performance by Ear Candy Jazz at Esplanade. It was at the entrance lobby and totally free to view. Esplanade actually has plenty of free performances like this. We mainly went for Sato Kanade, a 14 years old drummer who started drumming at 3 years old. She's one of the most famous female drummers in Japan. Needless to say she was amazing. I feel quite inspired by her... quite itching to play drums right now.
I had a Japanese buffet at Shin Minori with my team two weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. I sat with a group of people I'm close with, and I made everyone laugh. Some of them laughed till their stomachs hurt, which I felt like was a proud achievement. I really enjoy making people laugh.
Three weeks ago was my morning presentation. I presented to the whole company about music games. Seeing how it's my favourite hobby, I couldn't have picked another better topic.
July isn't over yet, so I guess I will update this again.
