Performing in school…

Decided on the song I wanted.
If the ukulele doesn’t work out,
I’m getting my audience to clap a 2-1 rhythm
while I sing.

And the song is…

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I’d find a match.

Cause I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I’ll make it better.

Cause I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
(Ingrid Michaelson’s The Way I Am)

Short and sweet.
Hooray!

On another note, I guess all those concerts that
artists hold really use
a LOT of energy.
Sang and danced for the kids
for today’s mass music assembly.
I could tell I was getting a bit winded
nearing the end of the song,
not that anyone else noticed, I think.
Best part?
We sang TWICE.

I’d better be losing weight/calories while
enetertaining these kids man…

Who knew?

Settled a bit of marking and managed to practise my song for recess interlude. Multi-tasking. The busiest weeks ever are coming up. Plus my school has this tradition of getting musical performances for their break. Music teacher, music, my boss put my name down for a few slots. Ack!

So I like the groove of P!nk’s ‘Who Knew’. (And no bad words! Woohoo!) Got the instrumental version but actually wanna try a guitar/ukulele version. Well, we’ll see if that works out. One song down.

Still contemplating on the other song. Ergh. Need to lock myself up in the music room and let my vocals loose. Nothing too sad or slow or too many bad words, performing to kids remember! Any ideas? I’m kinda stumped… Or price tag? Pffffttt.

Oh. Oh! I really miss the acoustic set up 2 years back. Adli and Asrin really pushed me to give my best and not hold back. I tend to do that. Think I’m scared I might be shouting into the mic instead of singing. But it was fun. Really lots of fun. And performing it to a crowd was… A thrill. Can we do it again, Syafrein?

Student Planner from Plum Paper Designs!

This pretty organizer or planner(as the Americans say it) arrived yesterday!
Pretty excited when I saw it on etsy and got even more excited when I saw they had a teacher planner too. Heheh. Of course, I wanted a planner for my upcoming unisim first year. So student planner it was!

You can choose the cover from a variety of designs and you can even have your name printed on it!

I chose mine to start from July 2013 to June 2014. Tabs laminated in different pretty colours.

Behind each tab, you get to have a look at the whole month at a glance.

Then you have a weekly look, with boxes for the different periods(I’m planning to just write the module code under it), lists, homework, quizzes/tests…

It complements with a DIY file I made to keep track of all my notes and each module’s learning objectives. Yes I am super on like that. (Kalau dari dulu blaja macam gini kan bagus…)

Planning to get the teacher planner at the end of the year, around November, I guess. Etsy shops tend to get really busy nearing Christmas/holiday season…

*breaks out the coloured pens*

Of layouts, designs and Pinterest!

Short post!

Having waaaay too much fun with my iPad mini coz I’ve been playing around with the house layouts. Pinned waaaay too many things, but colleague cautioned that I can’t have everything built in as it will be too expensive. Tsk. Trying to think what are the things I can diy or do an ikea hack. Hurhur. I have a feeling ikea will be our main go-to… I just want smart storage spaces.

Anybody knows of any checklist we should have in mind when we’re designing our homes? Would love a heads up!
