About Me

I don't have a drumset nor do I take lessons. All I get to practise with are my drumsticks, Tama drum metronome and knee-ePad. Sorry for the sub-standard playing.

My ultimate dream? Actually, it's a very simple one. I want to sing in a musical. Or become a gospel singer. (Okay, I also want to be Singapore's top female drummer by the time I'm 25.) And be a great mom one day. Don't laugh.

That said, I'll just stick to my full-time day job of being a child of God, and a copy writer. No, I don't copy other's works lah (actually it's true to a certain extent).

Excuse me while I sharpen my blunt tongue.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

(Pardon me, I'm not a very myspacey kind of person. You MUST check out You And Whose Army?'s myspace though. That'd surely be more interesting. Or my Real Blog. )

Bands and such.

BAR NONE -- Monday, 28 May.

Every thought of the Bar None gig give me surges of adrenaline. I'm really, really excited. It's rather amazing; our band is probably hardly heard of in the local scene. We've only played 2 gigs and s...

So I wonder.

What's the ultimate point of making music? What is music?To express oneself creatively, and in a way that one does it best?Or a tool simply to propel oneself to fame, money and for some, (a derogatory...

Neah -- we didn't get in the auditions. It was for SP's Jam 'n' Hop thing, but no biggie. We'd got the gig for the J&H at NP, my ex-school-in-a-month-to-go(!), held early last December. That gig s...
