i was intending to cuddle down to the sofa and watch tv when i turned it on and saw our local Channel 8 actors clipping bicycles and all other sorts of random bulky stuff to themselves and trying to lift them like weights and i got turned off immediately...

i wrote that all in one long sentence to get it out of my mind as fast as humanly possible...

i mean seriously... can't those people like go and sing songs and put up skits to raise funds...
every year the fundraising charity shows get closer and closer to Ripley's^TM Believe it or Not and Fear Factor... and that's not a good thing...

i think that when we say that our local tv programming should aim to have quality content like international stations we don't mean it this way...

but never mind...
i'll just shy away from the tv these few hours...

oh yes i had a performance yesterday with the Orkestra Melayu Singapura (Belia)...

not bad lar... quite fun...

and as a result now i have an endless stream of malay songs that are replaying over and over in my head...

and tragedy of tragedies...
on the way to the place yesterday morning i slipped and fell...
it was in the washroom at Kallang... so when i fell i whacked my flute, in it's case, hard on the floor...

so i got up... and left... not thinking much about it..

later i found out how ill-designed the case is... it's actually bigger than the flute... and when i fell it actually went knocking around in the case and now there's a dent where the flute rests on the holder...
and one of my keys is stuck...

how immensely irritating...
grr...

i will now have to send it for repairs...
which will cost a fair bit...
grr grr...
