I'm sorry for the very long delay with the answers. =P And thanks Anna for helping me to post =)

1. What is the most outrageous thing ever done?

Haha it's more dumb than outrageous but there was one time when I was on a bus with a few of my friends. They were talking about pole-dancing and naturally I didn't know what they were talking about. So one of them asked me to demonstrate pole-dancing and I took them LITERALLY. So I grabbed bus pole and did a little jig around it. ^_^

2. What do you want to be in the future?

I'll miss playing in an ensemble but yong siew toh is way above me. So right now I hope to be a dentist

3. What do grades mean to you?

They're not that important actually. I hope to do well and everything but if I don’t, then too bad I guess =P

4. Why do I always see you online so late at night? Haha

I'm a night owl! Even if I'm very tired during the day, once it hits about 10pm or so I'll come to life and then there's no way I can get to sleep. So I'd rather stay online haha. Anyway it's also nice being up alone at night because everything's so quiet. There's this dark mist that seems to cover all the buildings and trees outside and the feeling's quite peaceful actually.


5. Describe your ideal performance.

One without mistakes!! Haha it's rare for me to not screw up at least one passage during a performance so it feels good to be able to go backstage and not tell your section leader "I missed out one bar!" =P

It's also nice when the ensemble finishes off and the audience shouts 'ENCORE!' over and over again. And not because our friends were planted there before the start of the performance.

It's also my dream to perform one day in esplanade with a full orchestra and play a symphony. Although that's highly unlikely haha.

But my favourite part of a concert is actually the last hour before the performance itself. Because nobody remembers the actual performance itself. The last hour's when everyone gathers to have dinner and change before going backstage. Nobody really eats much and most of the time is just spent talking and talking. After that everything goes in a whiz and before you know it, concert's over!

Post-concert time is very memorable too. Everyone's grinning permanently (unless we did really badly) and nobody feels like going home or sleeping. And when we finally get chased home, everyone's online talking about the concert!


6. What’s your secrets to achieving good grades? =P

Haha I just look through my notes and make sure I understand what the words are saying. And of course, hope that what I don't know won't come out =P

7. What are your interests/hobbies?

I like reading. If I find a book I like I'll read it non-stop until I finish it. Ice-skating's fun too. Don't really go out often but when I do, it's usually for concerts or to meet up with my friends. Guess I'm quite a boring person =P
