made the long-delayed trip to the doctor’s today. turns out that all the reflux-ing has resulted in swollen vocal chords and tightness around the throat area. and all these months, i thought i hadn’t warmed up my voice properly. i had probably aggravated things somewhat with my ignorance.
so, come tokyo, i will be making the [...]

what misery looks like, for now
so, on top of the return of gastric woes, i was struck down by one of those 24-hour fever bugs. i had been cowering under the blankets for the better part of the day, and finally awoke past 3am, nauseous, yet feeling sure that just one more second of sleep would kill me. i feel [...]

weary
6 hours of singing is no small feat, and there’re still 9 more to clock tomorrow. despite all i had said previously about wanting to sing, and sing, and sing… it doesn’t feel right somehow, this… marathon style of rehearsing.

sunday morning
…and the day of my first performance with this choir. we get all of five minutes to sing one piece at the tokyo choral festival (and even then, it takes three weekends or so to get through all the participating choirs). and truth be told, i am not quite in the mood to get all [...]

mutiny
the rain came down in sheets just as i stepped out of my room to get a cup of hot chocolate (or cocoa au lait, as it is elegantly labeled) from the vending machine at the lobby. i wish it would thunder as well, just to match my somewhat mutinous feelings right now.
the pain and [...]

masochism
for days now, i have woken up with the sun at about 5 and worked non-stop at the computer till dinner time whereupon i collapse, eyeballs burning, onto the bed. yet, my mind and body, running on some kind of strange adrenaline, refuse to shut down properly at the end of the day – you [...]

it is very strange (and also amazing and awe-inspiring, i suppose) that the most appropriate music pops into your mind and stays there to serve as a movie theme for whatever emotion you are going through at that point in time.
i have been pondering the analysis of some data the entire day, attempting to sketch out [...]

i am slightly annoyed this morning, with much of it directed at myself for having agreed to take up a certain translation assignment. not because of the translation itself, but because i have to work with two others on the assignment. did i ever mention this? i abhor group work.
back in school, when we had a [...]

my knees buckle
it has turned significantly warmer. some days, the afternoon sun is so searing hot, i am momentarily transported back to singapore. but evening comes with customary spring chill, and i am reminded again that i am not there, but here. very much so.
i was invited to sit in for a choir practice yesterday. the practice [...]
