So bored and feeling really lousy now but I can't play on the guitar cos the bro has an exam tomorrow. Shan't let negative emotions get the better of me. Shall blog about the exciting things I've been doing this long holiday! :D

 YES I AM LEARNING TO PLAY THE GUITAR!!! 8D Before joining SOM I thought playing on the guitar is easy, just need to press here strum there. But nooooo watching people play is a totally different thing from really playing on the guitar yourself. We have to press the strings with the tips of our fingers and when we practise long enough in the right way, it's super painful and the skin starts to peel. Switching between the chords needs a great deal of practice too. Hahaha still need to practise a lot to take away those awkward pauses that stop me from singing along to the songs :P In an attempt to niao me for being a guitar noob, Amelia showed me videos of Sungha Jung playing on his guitar and ukelele. He's too high level :OO I am nowhere near there YET. I shall 一步一步爬上去 HAHAHA :P I LOVE THE GUITARRR thank you Xinning for lending me your guitar ^^ Thankful for a super nice and pro instructor who keeps encouraging me and believing that I can play the guitar well. He doesn't scold me when it's obvious that I didn't practise enough and when I didn't get my capo for last week's lesson. So so thankful because I already felt very very bad. Because he's so nice it makes me feel like I need to be a good student by practising harder and playing the guitar well. I need to buy a guitar secretly when I get into uni. The mum just scolded yours truly for spending too much moneh D: Shall start saving up and get a good guitar so that I can play to my heart's content in uni! :DD

 AND LOVEOTHERS14!!! We really live among heroes with hearts for other people. Kept checking the hashtag on Instagram and Twitter and was so touched by the stories ;D One of them was about a connect group giving out packets of oreos with notes on them to strangers in an mrt station. A man received it and told them "You have no idea how much this means to me. I just got fired from my job today." Another person loved his/her neighbours by putting snacks with notes on them in every one of their mailboxes. A passerby was so touched she took a picture of it and that picture appeared on lianhewanbao, The Straits Times, SGAG and even STOMP! Hahaha :D Many people upon receiving the snacks decided to pay it forward by continuing to spread the love out of their own initiatives. Really glad that we succeeded in promoting a spirit of selflessness, love and giving to others :) 

 I played my part to loveothers14 too! Hahahaha folded origami hearts with Chunshan and we wrote notes on them before going for a funfair. A girl whom we gave the heart to took a picture of it and posted it on instagram! ^^ Was so so happy. Started this thinking that what I did would brighten the days of other people, but in the end I think the happiness I got from this is way greater :) Love doing life with CS! Thank you for jio-ing me along ;D

 After that CS and I along with Erntian went back to help C and C with the packing of their snacks. They are super powerful! Two of them pledging to love 2000 in the school with snacks (Y) Love it even more that throughout the whole process of loving others they insisted on remaining anonymous. And that's really the spirit of giving that so many of our unsung heroes have. We love not because we have ulterior motives. Love needs no reason. 

 The three of us went with Xinning to a coffee shop to have lunch. There we saw an uncle playing on his flute. Xinning's heart went to him and she gave him a packet of snacks with a note on it along with some money. The uncle was surprised and touched when he read the note, and after that he stopped and played on his flute for us for a while, before moving to the other tables. Was so touched and blessed by the tune he played. Will remember this in my heart and am inspired to keep loving and keep giving :)
