Sing a Song of SixPence, a Pocket Full of Rye!


"Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie! When the pie is opened, the birds began to sing. Isn't it a dainty dish to set before the king!"

I mean.. I wonder if the birds that are singing are cooked or not? I mean if it's cooked birds singing. Then it's really mighty disturbing... BUT! It would show a fantastic ode to singing. I mean the birds love to sing so much that they even sing when their vocal chords are totally roasted.

Sighs, I envy my voice teacher. She is those rare few who is very talented and who also is lucky enough to have that talent honed to perfection ever since she was young. And she's going Boston to have her masters. GEEZ... I would LOVE to be in her shoes. Frankly, at my pathetic 27+ years (Yes, not 28 yet. Duh) of age, I can't seem to find any sliver of slightly outstanding ability, much less talent, in whatever areas I can think of. Yes, I design PCA boards, but I lack the snivelling rat talent of SBG to diedie dig out all the potential problems and whatnots, even though I enjoy doing the landscaping. Yes, I like to tinker on the piano, but my parents and idiot bro would prefer I don't. I LOVE singing, and even though I have a nice singing voice (YES, u naysayers! My music examiner said in the report that I have a pleasing tone to my voice!), I ain't good enough to hold anyone's attention in a solo recital and perhaps at the end only Ah Beng will be there in the theatre, and he will be sleeping. HAHA. ;)

Ah well, I guess the only thing to do now is to enjoy what I love and continue to hone my skills and take me yearly exams. Still got some time left. Keke. JIA YOU GOGO!
