The Bachs, Brahms and Beethovens of tomorrow

Listening to: Dreaming of You (Selena)
"If you looked in my eyes, would you see what's inside, would you even care?"

Myself, Chet Wei and her friend David were out at the Royal Overseas League (nicely located behind the Ritz) tonight to support our ex-classmate Shuenda in the ROSL Annual Music Competition.

Shuenda deservingly got himself into the Keyboard Section Finals, beating 30 other hopefuls en route to tonight's grand finale, competing against 5 other contestants. There were 2 South Africans, a Taiwanese, an Australian (who looks like the teenage version of Josh Groban), a Maple Leafian (sorry, Canadian) and last but not least a MALAYSIAN!!! Ben Schoemann (the guy from SA) was crowned the overall winner but personally I thought Shuenda's choice of songs (and rendition too, of course) were better. All biasness aside.

The 6 of them were uniquely magnificent in their own way. Yours truly may not have a discerning ear in music but the 30 minute performance (from each) were really enthralling. Sure enough, Munny yawned and fought to keep her eyes open, but that wasn't attributed to the recitals. The harmonious tunes were simply so serene that she was (almost) lulled into sleep.

Yeah you laugh. You would too if you had gone there straight after work, and had less than 6 hours sleep the night before trying to rush an audit report.

Oh well, at least it's done.

And I guess as a reward for all my (last minute) hardwork, I managed to see my favourite (cutie pie) Registrar on the ward today.

*ALL SMILES*

Think Alex Yoong but with spiky hair, the same soft spokenness but wayyy cuter. Hopefully no beauty pagaent wife and adorable son....
And I thought I was only susceptible to what my sis and her bunch of pals call Rories...
