Slept badly last night but today was good! :D Had my first proper drum lesson. The guy's reeeeeeally quite smth on the set. I think when school re-opens dad plans to let me take a full course with him, 12 lessons. Ooyeaaaa.... ^^

Came home, practiced the drum patterns I'd learned, then went to take a nap. I have long suspected that naps can help to "solidify", in your brain, any information that you recently learned. Like, it gives your mind time to process the stuff and commit it to more secure memory space. The other day I read an article in the newspapers that confirmed this. So yes! I now have, not an excuse, but rather a REASON to nap. =D It's like painting. Give one layer (one set of info) to dry and become permanent before you add on more. Good studying technique, too: REIVISE! Nap. WAKE UP AND REVISE AGAIN! Sleep for the night. NEXT DAY GO TO SCHOOL! Come home and nap. Yes, I think I like this napping business. =3

Nap was interesting too. Shan't say, but Rachel and Sarah will know what I dreamt about even without me telling them. ;) Don'tcha! ^^ Hahahah. Dear friends, you two.

Then went to the Harkins' house. Played a fun game there... will show you guys in Sg the next time I visit. Had a lot of laughs. Then we had worship and sharing time, which was very pleasant. As it always is over there. =) We got to talking about next year's drama production (since Mr Philip is the drama teacher and I'm in drama class nx yr), and now I'm all hyped up about it. We're gonna do Little Women. Hopefully I'll get to be Jo. That would be a lotta lotta work, but would also be an unimaginably fun character to play. Woot~ Now I'm sorta looking forward to school starting again.

RACHEL, COME IN MID NOVEMBER AND WATCH THE PLAY! :D

Ok, luv ya'll, goodnight! ^^

EDIT: Forgot to mention. Today when we were down at the mall after the drum lessons, mom tried to get me to buy new shoes. Wah seh. I thought last time shoe shopping was tough just cuz I was so close-minded. This time I open mind, STILL cannot find anything to my precise liking.

Going for more of the Converse-ish look now. Yet another influence brought back from my Sg trip! XD Hahahhaha. Like Jason, Jeremy... all wearing those canvas type shoes. Now I also wan. Yes, I realize I'm being "affected by surrounding influences". But I think it's good tt now I'm more adventurous, so, yep. (But still cannot find anything to buy! Sia.)

Debunk the old legend that Ariel is very good at saving money. The truth of it is: Ariel only doesn't buy stuff cuz she's way too picky when it comes to shopping. RIGHT, Rach, Sarah? XD No la no la... I can consciously save money la. But the pickyness does help. ;)
