week of computering

got a few old arrangements transcribed for trio.
now we've got a few more songs to hang on for the hour.
more to come at the end of this week when i get next week's stuff ready.
gosh.... can't believe how much sheet music i have in the hard drive...
over 1G of scans, one of them being the band score for Bohemian Rhapsody!!
it's just awesome!!

time got a little shifted this week. need to work out on tues and thurs instead.
so i'll need to control my binge eating a bit.
it's great timing because Nikki just ate all my tostitos chips...
she basically took all the large complete pieces right out of my plate.
i was "scolding" her but she's still minding her own business and ignored me.
i felt so powerless (/o\~)

my legs and butt are feeling a bit numb from all the sitting.
it's so gross out there with the gloominess and rain and hotness.
i've been wanting to go out to the trail again to take photos with my Nikon, but no luck so far.
and i'll have to tidy up on the wheatgrass by product now that i've harvested most of it.
the soil's stinking from lack of drainage, so i'll need to air it before reusing for another planting.
got about 2 days worth left... a little low on supply.
and the rain's not helping either with no drainage.
hopefully there won't be too much infestations in the remaining greens...

can't wait to have a real quartet gig!

busy bee me

i didn't expect to get a close up on Wedding SOS!
and WITH LINES! hahahaha~
well, conversation anyway. mostly Cameron the groom and Jane the planner talking.
Jane really is a pro, she knows what she wants.
got paid for an hour but i was actually playing 1.5 hrs.
hey, but i got TV coverage, so that's ok! ;)
i think i have a nice book full of solo violin music for a good hour now.

able to squeeze in some time to watch a couple episodes of Twisted Tale.
it's wicked!
very bizarre, some are funny. like the episode The Patter of Tiny Feet.
well, i guess it's because Catherine Tate was in it! she's great!

off to another wedding saturday afternoon.
hope i can find this place... sounds like it's in a condo.
and the bride is asking for a weird song.

got lots of copying and arranging to do.
looks like i'll be occupied till the summer ends.
but i've got nachos and corona to keep me company while i'm working at home.
so it's all good~ =3

good job!

last night mum decided to replace our current plastic oil container with a glass one.
well, she's been scheming for that for a while actually.
and of course, i checked Golda's Kitchen for her because they have practically anything that's related to the kitchen.
so i found this nice italian one at $14.50:

being mum, she wanted to hang out and shop with me, so she wanted me to get her to Golda's Kitchen.
the problem is, their store is at Winston Churchill & 401, which is about a 45 minute drive for me.
so today after gym, i tried my luck at Loblaws, Bombay, Urban Barn, and Solutions.
i was sooooo lucky! found the exact same thing, and for a cheaper price at $12.99.

one small disappointment at the gym though...
i bounced back to 128.5lbs!
i guess that means i need to squeeze in another work out session on sunday morning on top of my mon, wed, fri sessions.
on the other hand, i was able to jog slowly on the machine for 10 minutes without getting a serious stomach ache!

i'm so proud of myself for today's achievements!! XD

let's hope that i can also finally finish that Holbrooke copyage.

talk about food

i'm getting back to the habit of eating cheeeeese.
and i'm pretty lucky lately finding 50% off stuff from Loblaw's after my workout.
this is bad, very bad!!
well, i'm now at 127.5lbs, so i guess i can indulge just for a little bit.
today i've got gouda, and double cream brie.
gouda is new to me, but now that i'm munching on it, i think i've had it before at receptions!
it's goooooooda!
i like it!

also bought some baby back ribs.
i'm gonna oven bake them for my dad, since his birthday is coming up and we have NO IDEA what he wants.
so i'm just gonna cook him a nice fatty meal.

it's all about the flowers

i've just bought these 2 books!


now when i take photographs outdoors, i'll know what i'm capturing!
should've bought those books online. it's so much cheaper.
but since i've bought them already, i don't wanna waste gas to get them refunded.
it'll take a while to ship to my place too, and the packaging is just gonna pollute more of our beautiful earth.

run fat fan run

i'm proud of myself!
able to lightly run for 5 minutes on the running machine!
and of course, being on a tight schedule, i had to do a shorten workout yesterday.

took me 30 minutes to do grocery afterward.
and then spent 2 hours to cook.
but the meal was FINE~
now, i'm smelling like a rotten onion!

today is an easier day.
just gonna arrange the last piece for Jenny and then go over to midtown to meet a client.
kind of miss my busy life.
reminds me of my undergrad days.

DIY

realized last night that i have a wedding card that's too big.
now i've made an envelope that's simple and big enough. =)
it's basically a big sheet of A4 size paper with designs on it.

if anyone wants the template, i've got it in .psd (photoshop file).
for people who don't care about quality, here's a jpeg file.

i need to tidy up and organize my room.
first thing to clear my work area would be getting a new book/media shelf.
my current shelf is now at almost full capacity.
time to look around at ikea! =)

gotta remember to do groceries after gym...
