1st April

Happy April Fool's day everyone! Anybody receiving a good prank today?

I've had several blog ideas this week, but I must admit that I found it really hard keeping up this blog in sync with the events in my life.

This Monday night, I played piano for a choir the first time, ever, ever, EVER, in my whole life.  I was sooo terrified, but I took the job anyway. I had to learn 12 songs in a week for this choir session and even though I've put in many hours of practicing the songs, I didn't finish learning them all by the time Monday comes. I walked in the choir room literally shaking. But God is good to me. The choir members that I played for are the nicest, supportive group of people, EVER! In the middle of playing "autumn Leaves" I got lost in the page turning and someone from the choir had to come up to the piano and helped me. I spontaneously sang the piano fills on the parts that were too fast for me to play. With that being said, I had SO much fun in the end. The choir sounds great and Greg caught me smiling in the bits where I can actually play. They were very encouraging, gave me an applaud for learning all those songs in 7 days, and what's more, I'm singing alto next week when they have their original pianist back. 


So many little things are happening, and I feel like I'm finding it hard to keep up. Maybe it's because I'm a really slow person and it takes a really long time for me to do anything. 


Things that occupied my mind a lot is of course my jewelry business. I couldn't stop criticizing about the way my shop looks. I am, truly my own worst critique. Also, I've picked up a certain tip that caused me to set aside  my previous ideas/ sketches and take the shop into a major detour...in which I will reveal to you when I finish making and taking photos of them! =) 


After a month of focusing my time on making jewelry and developing my Etsy shop (with a bit of a break in between) I've started applying for casual jobs again this week. I've learnt my lesson not to put all of my hope in one job, or updating everyone about my interviews and trials news because I've been told I will fail a lot before I can succeed in one. I really, really hope I can get a proper extra income soon before it gets extremely freezing here. >.<


Right now, I'm lounging on the couch with the news on tv waiting for Emilia to come over for a small meeting. My friend Estle had managed to gather a few people up to do the Canberra marathon fun run. We're running 10km to raise fund for "Lifeline" a suicide prevention call service in Australia. Estle had been pretty diligent in training. She tries to go running everyday even. I need to be more like her, having been sick didn't exactly help either. I'm gonna die next week. I really should be running instead of blogging. Hopefully by the end of the meeting tonight we'd be able to find a way to raise funds.


That's all from me now...
