Proof of former talent

Haha, note : Former talent.

I was chatting to Eve about our musical talents and our lack of it. She mentioned her former talent of playing the pipa - a plucked chinese instrument, pear shaped like guitar- and how she used to perform in schools. It's interesting how we used to be more active in things that we were forced to do.

I've performed ahah, "performed " once with a bunch of my kindie friends at a recital. We did a play and then had a violin number after that. If I can remember the play, it was about a farmer who was having problems plucking some vegie ( a girl plays this vegie and I honestly do not know the name the this particular vegie, it's white, looks like a carrot..maybe it's a white carrot..eh). So the farmer decided to call for help, he Hollers and someone playing an animal will come up to the stage, make an animal sound and help him pull the white carrot. The hollering of animals up the stage went from a cat to a scarecrow. By the end of it, there were 10 of us on stage all behind each other pulling the white carrot. I was the dog. The reason behind it was I wasn't muslim. Yes, the chinese girl should be the dog. If you knew me back then, you'd know that I was a very very very shy kid.

So I was hollered and got pushed onto the stage. I was supposed to "woof " and get in line to start pulling the carrot. Instead, I stood in front of everyone, playing with my doggie ears with a smile on my face because that was all I could do. I stood there for the longest time. Oh the humiliation... My parents weren't there, thank god..haha. Reason : I gave them my chicken pox virus. lol.

Anyways, I've got proof and am delighted to show.


Urm...mind the hands.. I cannot justify my pose.



There's me playing the violin. I was for real. I don't lie. Haha.

I had the cutest violin and was quite fond of it. Unfortunately one day, my brother, who was probably lacking of brain cells decided to take a scissors and snip the strings off.
Rip my baby violin.
