Vegetarian Dim Sum Lunch with Wanning~
|
 |
| While waiting... :P |
 |
| Shu Wan, Hui Qing & me, yes, in the sun :D |
 |
| ShuWan's pair of sweetie princesses :) |
 |
| It was such a JOY seeing them in London... thank you ladies... :) |
 |
| Haven't seen ShuWan for 10 over years... She still looks so sweet~ |
 |
| With Neil & Maria~ |
 |
| Maria has a very contagious laughter that I like... :) |
 |
| I was searching for Singapore flag... but nope, can't find... :'( I believed I must have missed it somewhere... :( |
 |
| The weather was hot, warm... and long daylight... hmm... this is my least favourite seasons in London... though yes, over years, I'd learnt to accept... but I still do not prefer :-/ |
 |
| At Stratford Station~ |
 |
| At the gate. The annoucement at the gate was kinda amusing... it went this way: Please take your photographs quickly and keep walking!!! For the picture below - This is the first time I'm bringing such a little bag out in London, as I have the reputation of always carrying gigantic bags or totes... :P |
 |
| I absolutely like this!!!! :) |
 |
| My favourite sight!!! |
 |
| After the Olympic Rehearsal, people were rushing/dashing from all directions... |
 |
Yes I know, it sounds silly... but this is indeed one of my favourite bit of the aircraft... leaving my phone beautifully charged before I touched down... :)
|
 |
A quiet moment doesn't mean we have to be absolutely alone... Quiet times amidst the talks and crowds somehow makes it more luxurious... :')
|
 |
| My first stop, as usual ~ the supermarket... :) |
 |
|
Arrived. Well, pretty fast~
A quiet journey too, apart from the rush in the underground due to peak
hours...
|
 |
| My first visit to York... :) |
 |
| Beautiful View... |
 |
|
Yong Liang showed me this beautiful
park... we sat here briefly, seeing the quiet and the greens... the Ferris
Wheel, according to him, was built JUST for this year, to commemorate
800 years of history...
|
 |
| Very much love the contrast between the building and the sky... |
 | ||||
|
Had
a full set of breakfast around lunch hour with Yong Liang. Cool, my favourite
type of breakfast!!! :) And over the breakfast table, we talked about the
washing machines. The drain. The spin. The half cycle. The full cycle. The
normal cycle... and the absolute courage needed to power off the switch halfway
through the process, so as to jump out of the normal cycle...

EPTA
(European Piano Teachers Association) Piano Teacher Conference... I had missed
it for many years... but for some reasons, I feel I have to come, need to come,
and shouldn't miss it this year... so I came :') As much as I'm happy that I
listened and followed my tiny little inner voice; I am also extremely thankful
to all the people who's willing to have their routines slightly altered because
of me... Thank you :')
一个幸福的女人的背后是因为有很多人的成全。:')

 |
| Wonderful Beate :) |

Conference
Breakfast this morning... They are ALL piano teachers, or were piano
teachers... What often moves me is - when we are think we're fated to music, we
aren't neccessarily fated to the piano. And if we move along that line, being
fated to the piano becomes something a level deeper... :')
不是每个爱音乐的人都喜欢钢琴。
也不是每个爱音乐的人都适合钢琴。
因为不是每个与音乐有缘分的人都与琴有缘分。
若按这个路线去想，与自己的乐器的缘分便更深入一层，也更不容易一分。
凡物凡事，或许就是需要至少那么一层的, 缘分。:')

My
invited Workshop lecturer for my coming Masterclass & Workshop, in
December, held at Royal College of Music, London, Day 1, 11 December 2012.
Both
Lucinda herself and her Lectures are equally charming, and full of charisma. :)
Attended
her one-week Aberystwyth Classes a few years back and it had impacted me in a
big way...

| My invited Masterclass Tutor for my coming Masterclass & Workshop, in December, held at Royal College of Music, London, Day 3, 13 December 2012. Nadia is wonderfully kind and passionate in all her roles, from piano teacher, Adjudicator, to Associated Board Examiner... :) |
 |
| A quick snap shot after the breakfast... :) |
 |
| Sweet Norma :) |
 |
| Self-made... omg~ :D |
 |
| Self-made by Maggie |
 |
| Marcello is soooooooo adorable :) |
 |
We were all intensed fans of Marcello Crudeli, the Chair of EPTA Italy (in blue)... During the dinner... we were flooding her with questions... I even asked her about her age... yes yes I know it's a taboo, but I was curious... see, i'd always been a cautious and sensitive person, so the fact that I'd decided to ask such an insensitive question just shows how amazing she is... and to my delight, she answered gladly, readily and proudly... :)
