3 and a half hours til the end of 2010.

Ma ne (Well), I was kind of hoping I could end 2010 with a blast. Guess that couldn't be done anymore.

My 2010 has been an awesome one. So what if it doesn't have a perfect ending to it?

In this year, I met a lot of new people, met lotsa new friends. Had crushes, had my heartbroken, or rather, it was self ignite. I got a job, quit a job and entered a new college. I came to a place that is ever so new. I had to adapt myself to the new culture. I became independent, with my parents not around to help me.

I am a person who usually knows what I want. I also know what I need to improve over the new year. I'm going to make a short but essential new year resolution.

1. Make more new friends
2. I tend to hide up my feelings. I need to be more open about how I feel of people.
3. Stop being jealous of everything I don't have. Because I already have most things one could ever dream of.
4. Appreciate my friends more than finding fault in them. Learn to forgive.
5. Climb up when you fall. Everything's gonna be alright. :)

Happy New Year 2011 everyone. :) Have a great year ahead. I'm sure it will be. If only you believe. But don't just dream. Make it happen. ;)

Wow.

The last post was written in November. I see. I have abandoned this blog for a long time now. If, one month is even considered long.

I'm not even sure if there is anyone reading this anymore. But to those of you who still looks out for an update of my life, this post is definitely what you're looking for.

To start off, I'd like to let you know that it is the finals week of the Fall semester. Projects are due this week and final exams kicked off this morning (though some may have started last week). I'm just stealing some time to write a blog post. You can also call this procrastination. :P

Since the day I arrived here. I realized a drastic change in my internet life. I used to appear on msn every single day but today, I don't even bother to check my msn anymore. In fact, it's Facebook everyday now. So I'm a FB addict. So what? Everyone is. You are one too. :P

I live in a place filled with great musicians, which also gives me motivation to do things I've never thought of doing before. Recently, I want to write songs and also remix songs. The thoughts came after listening to people's work. I thought they were great and I can do that too. I would definitely give it a try after finals.

I had some tunes rearranged for my projects. It may not be the greatest work on Earth, but I thought I did pretty well. It's all up to you to judge. If you would, please click here to listen. :)

Ever since I started having private instructions in Berklee, I realized how bad my techniques were. Eew. I suck. :/ But that doesn't matter. Because I am working hard. And I will improve. The only matter is, how long will it take?

Berklee is truly an amazing place. Boston is amazing. The United States is fucking amazing. I love being here. I met lots of new people here. They may differ in terms of culture, race and skin colour. But they definitely have something in common. They are nice.

As much as I love being here, I really do miss the luxuries I have at home. Having your dishes washed by someone is one of them. Throw your dirty clothes in the laundry basket and have them clean and nicely folded in the closet the next day. Unmade bed? Dirty floor? Come back to your room after breakfast and see the floor sparkle like jewels and the bed nicely made. Oh, the luxuries. Of course I do miss my parents as well. Who else would drive me to supper? And my grandmother. I bother her when I'm bored. And my brother. I annoy the hell outta him and get a good laugh. xD

There seems to be a little health problem here. But everything's going to be fine. I know it. :)

That pretty much summarizes up my absence for the whole month or more. It would mark the starting of my first winter break end of this week. And I hope to be in New York in the holidays.

I have Conducting final tomorrow at 9am, three other exams and one audition coming up. Good luck to me. And good luck to you!
