Dear Rosé,

Dear Rose,   Time flies. I am satisfied by the changes life has brought to my personal lives. Sometimes I wonder which of them could be either right or wrong, since I have given no clue on whom and where these changes or choices would lead me to. But I think it is totally okay even if it happens to be a mistake, I promise you will never be bored.

Dear Rose,    UUM 29th Convocation, Kedah   I left home and participated in UUM 29th Convocation orchestra for one week under baton of music director, Mat Shah. Being the only girl in the wind brass section and one of the youngest member in the orchestra, I was very well taken care by all other members.     My favourite steamboat moment with orchestra members after a long day of work. Rushdan's Friday Seminar Performance         By the time I arrived in Kuala Lumpur from Kedah after a long journey of 8 hours by bus, Little Prince already departed to Singapore for Low Brass Festival 2016.     Rushdan and friends including myself, performed song entitled " Morning Dance " by Spyro Gyra, at ASWARA Friday performance. Response from the audiences was positive and I enjoyed exploring new music styles on stage with friends!     I received my new iPhone SE happily! - 18th November 2016, Friday.

Dear Rose, " You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile. "   It was another tribute to Sudirman concert experience with Atai of mine since my diploma years. This time Klpac Orchestra featured with singers from The Actor Studio under guidance of Joe Hasham and Faridah for one meaningful purpose, which was to support fundraising for Sudirman Scholarship other than celebrate our great Malaysian entertainer, the late Sudirman. I am very honoured to play a role at the event because we brought one thousand million smiles from misfortunate community and Sudirman fans through music. Joe Hasham and Faridah were very generous in sharing their stories with all of us as usual, they are the soul of arts in Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (Klpac).      My supportive mom and brother Kent.   SMILE sung by Michael Jackson:

Dear Rose,   Do you remember? Obviously this is a September post if you can think of Earth, Wind & Fire right now. I apologize for not writing to you all this while, life has turned miserably busy sometimes. However, I have to brave every circumstance in life in order to understand what life has to offer. LNG x Hatch event | LNG Entertainment + Take a Shot Studio Café Grand Launch, 10th September 2016 (Saturday)   I have been working for LNG Entertainment since 8th August 2016 until now. Generally I am employed as part-time administrator and my responsibilities are to prepare meeting record, attend meeting, send email, online posting, interview intern, etc. Many people questioned me about reason choosing this newly formed company as the beginning of my career, but you know at times life put us directly on the path to the best values in our life. I am very grateful for everything that I learned from my working experience with LNG Entertainment, we are dynamic youngsters, ent

Dear Rose,   I had wonderful weekends on 20th & 21st August 2016, at the Sime Darby Arts Festival located at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac). Various arts performances and workshops were organized by artists and talents from all nations.   I am thankful for having you to share the moment of hearing my favorite songwriter - Ariff AB live; outdoor sketching with KL Sketchnation; playing improvised percussion at the lawn; dancing to the beats etc. KLPac Orchestra did well at the Gala Concert under the baton of Kok Leong Lee and murids. Spent the day attending Philharmonic Winds of Malaysia Concert and SDAF with Dr Karen, Mustaqim and Sheng. Outdoor sketching with # KL Sketchnation, thanks for lovely sketch of the two of us.

Dear Rose,   It was a great experience playing side-by-side with the Havixbeck Youth Symphonic Band from Germany. Making music is where new friendships begin. Stay tune for more photos from Nils Walter.

Dear Rose,   The month of August - I wouldn't say it is a turning point, but a roundabout. I don't know about life because to define life is not to define it. 14th & 15th August 2016, Sun & Mon - AYO tour concerts @ the Chinese Orchestra Hall & Esplanade, Singapore      Malaysians @ the AYO tour concerts, Singapore. Congratulations to all friends and AYO! The low brass was outstanding!  15th August, Mon - Finding Baobabs @ Gardens by the Bay, Singapore   Initially the plan was to visit The Little Prince Cafe on the first day, 14th August, Sunday. Unfortunately the plan was ruined.   I still managed to spend great time with the roses and baobabs at the Gardens by the Bay.    Dear his rose, where is little prince? Breathtaking view from high above. Baobabs found, I am so satisfied.   I wished I could stay for the arrival of sunset and city lights; I wished for your appearance so that I could take a longer w

Dear Rose, "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." - Antoine De Saint-Exupery If you do not know who is Antoine, I will show The Little Prince to you; if you think making honey lemon is tough, I can do it for you; if you miss out the best views in town, I can probably guide you; but if you ever question what love is, I do not know ... It comes in different forms, different languages, different ways, sometimes there is no a single word at all, not even a song, so quietly ... Sometimes it's harsh, loud, cruel, sorrow, fear etc. So how you define love? STOP. No one is a love expert, someone who makes statement is a liar. In fact, we all know what love is, we just need to experience what we already know - it is the distance in our heart. Thank "photographer", for making it real #111

Dear Rose, " Potluck (noun): used in reference to a situation in which one must take a chance that whatever is available will prove to be good or acceptable "   Well, while forcing oneself to become something, like someone, of course it is challenging, no meal comes for free; but does it worth the effort and loss, after loads of time and money spent, but losing all the fun and sparks in oneself, losing time and intimacy with the loved ones? We are aging, everybody is, as long we are happy, the choices are right; if we are not happy, think about it. We definitely gain loss in whenever we do in the end, but worthy loss makes us happy - it becomes an investment. (not about cash) OUR 21 - MY POTLUCK OF FRIENDSHIP SINCE TEENAGE   I shall not ask for new, because this friendship is my favorite collection of sunshine, portraits, stories, experiences, laughter, shoulders, etc. EVERYTHING huge that I can't put into words - Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my Best F

Dear Rose,   I always tend to forget things when life flows too quickly. I should keep a diary because it is keeping all the moments that matter. Just like how fast we have come this far - accumulating four months, although I don't count by days much, but it is the days that makes me have faith in the years to come.   Library and bookstore are places I would go, because those are gateways leading me to nowhere, but a nowhere in a world of pixie. It cures my ego, making me feel small but content; it comforts my nerves, gently put me on the ground; it stimulates my senses, put smile on my face; it brings old friends, who can speak right to my mind; it drives my imagination to parts of the world, which I have not truly seen; I found gateways to freedom. There is a gateway at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (Klpac), Sentul, where loads of classics and pre-loved collection of books are nicely kept - get some light drinks and snacks, grab a seat and start killing time befor

Dear Rose,   I am currently reading the 'Conversations With Gods' by Neale Donald Walsch. Thank my friend for recommending the book to me perfectly on the right timing. Full of messages beyond words can tell. Here's portion of what God said: 'Let's exchange the word  talk  with the word  communicate.  It's a much better word, a much fuller, more accurate one. When we speak to each other - Me to you, you to Me, we are immediately constricted by the unbelievable limitation of words alone. In fact, rarely do I do so. My most common form of communication is through  feelings .' 'Feeling is the language of the soul -    If you want to know what's true for you about something, look to how you're feeling about it.   Feelings are sometimes difficult to discover - and often even more difficult to acknowledge. Yet hidden in your deepest feelings is you highest truth .' 'I also communicate with thought. ... Although feelings and tho

Dear Rose,   Time has gone so quickly, half of the year has passed. I do not know how should I express myself towards you, but I know there are moments I wanted you so badly - I need answers from you.   Inner conversations never stop me from questioning, perhaps reading in space or keeping words in silence would help to chase all miseries away, I just do not know how until -   Someone walked in to hug a while, rubbing my back like he was going to open up my world to sunshine and bear the heavy soul in me. I held back those unreliable tears as I shall not shelter myself ... but from what? From all the confusions I have in me?   Bare!   What's wrong to shed tears or feel bare ... if those are shoulders I should rely on? How much danger or trust it takes to breakthrough? I know the loss, this is not easy as business.   I shelter myself from putting trust on promises, relationship, intimacy, humanity or even on myself etc., overwhelming emotions and doubts have been building
