26.03.11

It was YUI's 24th birthday.

"Tanjobi omedeto gozaimasu~ YUI-chan!!"

And also my third performance at night.

For Earth Hour.

Sang the song "Taiyou No Uta"

which means - A Song to the Sun.

There was some technical errors during my performance.

It happened that the microphone was so loose that it kept falling down little by little, making it further and further away from my mouth and so my voice sounded softer and softer, ruining my performance. I couldn't give out my hand to hold the mic since both of my hands were busy playing the guitar.

**disappointed**

I guess it was just not my lucky night.

*fake smile*

All Souls' Day

I bet everyone knows that Halloween/All Saints' Day/All Hallows' Day is coming soon. It falls on 31st Oct every year and is celebrated by Christians all over the world. On this day people wear costumes of all types. It can be vampires, witches, werewolves and so on. Pumpkin is an important symbol during this celebration. What's more? It's non other than Children's favourite ---- Trick Or Treat~ ^ ^

However, our country does not celebrate this day. How sad. =(

In spite of Halloween, do you guys ever heard of All Souls' Day?

It is another Christian Holy Day that falls on Nov 2 every year, which is after Halloween. I do not celebrate Halloween but this one yes. That's the reason why I post about this. =)

FYI, All Souls' Day is a day where Christians pray in memory of their ancestors or loved ones who have died. Praying for souls helps to remove the stain of sin, and allow the souls to enter the gates of heaven. All Souls' Day is also known as the "Day of the Dead".

On this day Christians will go to the cemetery and mourn for their lost ones. They show their respect and honour in remembrance of them. Actually it's the same like Chinese's 清明节.

And this is where I go every year. Miri Catholic Cemetery(below). This year it falls on Tuesday and my family make it earlier cos we can't go on weekdays so that will be tomorrow. Saturday. Both my grandparents had passed away when I was in Primary school. It always feels like ages whenever I go there as it's only once a year trip.

Usually what we need to get ready before prayers are

#1 Two bouquets of flowers

(one for grandfather & one for grandmother)

#2 Candles

and last but not least

#3 Love from our heart

After that

shhhh and start praying~ xD

so I will be off to Miri tomorrow morning. Hope everything will be okay especially the weather. And oh ya...hope I can meet up with an NS friend to get CDs from her. Cos the time will be rushing~ > <

Happy 101010

Last year it was 090909...

And now...

it's 101010!!

So what are you guys up to on this special day? Shopping? Sleeping?

I believe most of you would think it's just a normal day like any other days but there's actually something going on out there.

The truth is, on this very Sunday, people across the globe are working hard to reduce their carbon emissions and celebrate their low-carbon lifestyles. It's 10:10:10 - A GLOBAL DAY OF DOING. It is the biggest-ever day of positive action on climate change. Everyone around the world are sending a powerful message to world leaders that they are ready to tackle climate change.

"Together we can build a mass movement showing the world that climate change can be solved - and that we are ready to solve it."

So if any of you are interested, you may join the event here. I have joined it myself. =)

Here's a sneak peak through the event. Enjoy~

after the arriving of guests of honour...finally the perfomances started...it started with cultural dances and followed by modern dances...

霍元甲 opening dance

(it was only me and another friend dancing for this chinese cultural dance due to the limited time. it was me and her at first who searched for all the dance videos in youtube and learnt some steps here and there from 4-5 vids, and combined it into one. it was a tough time. we used up 3 days to learn the dance steps and then it was already near the night so there was not enough time for us to teach others. that's why only both of us got on the stage. felt quite strange but it was alright cos we enjoyed ourselves. so after 5 days of practice this was the vid of achievement that we gained that night.^ ^ the dynasty clothes we wore were golden in colour bdw. it looked white due to the light. =P)

modern dance 快乐崇拜 + 撑腰

Bangra Dance

the dining time started together with the performances...

after dined...there was a small opening dance for anyone who wished to show off their dance moves...with this i only got to know that there were so many people who can dance very well...the most surprising was the only 4 flat guy in our batch...who surprised us by his street dance moves...wow...we never thought he can dance that well as he looks nerdy...this tells us that we can never judge people by their look...hahaha XD

after that...once again we took lots of pictures as memory...cos this was the once in a lifetime foundation night...must capture every moment of it...> <
