Letter ninety-nine - Day two hundred and fifty-four of your vacation

Dearest J,

I've been quiet for a while here.  I've had quite a good few weeks.

It's not a conscious thing but this soul-searching journey has been...for lack of words, I'd say it's been grand.  If I have to say anything genuine and sounding spiritual (not me) now, I'd say that all I have now is the doing of your magical ways, your magical, loving hands and mind at work - "looking over my shoulder, looking out for me."

All around me, people dying and die, friends breaking up, friends broke up, people fighting, people crying. I really learn and remind to not take anything for granted.  Everyday every experience becomes a heightened, vivid, vivacious sensation.

Ok, diary of my activities of two weeks:

I sang for a Chinese reality TV show for wedding planners, Ring Mission will be on air from this Sunday onwards, 8TV, Sunday 7pm.

Went to Phnom Penh for the first time, stayed at a fancy French hotel, Sofitel.  Really worked on my French lyrics for La vie en rose before I sang the song at the hotel wedding fair opening party.  The Phnom Penh Post gave me a big photo exposure on June 6th.

I helped Danny Lim with two of his interview outings at Jenjarom & Pulau Ketam.  Translated Mandarin for him.  Both outings were incredibly interesting and new for me.

Had a class with Cecelia end of last month!!

Cher Siang gave me a class in how to read music for singers.  20-min a day is what I need, he said.  I get what I need now, just need to work out a learning mechanism to know the language well.  If I keep at this, soon, I should be able to read music and sight sing any song...

Love,

B
