Venturing off, to a place where rejection is inevitable, self-obsession is a habit, and each time we speak it is in front of judges...we are hoping to transform that single moment in time, that will allow us to keep the illusion alive long enough to perform it in front of an audience. 

My friend This Charming Kate has given me the one lovely blog award.
The rules are that you have to:
- List 7 things about yourself
- Award at least 5 other bloggers (originally it was 15 but my blogger-sphere isn't that large yet)

So here goes:

1. I was born in London, but have grown up in Asia mainly- in Malaysia, Japan, and Singapore. I love living in Asia, it will always be home in my mind, especially whilst my family is still there.
2. I have dual citizenship, so I'm both American and British. I really enjoy living in England at the moment, I am planning on moving to London after I graduate university this July. Although I do want to live in New York or LA for a while at some point in my life.
3. I love travelling, I have been really lucky growing up and because I was based in Asia, I got to go to some amazing places. I love to photograph everything when I am on trips, maybe even too much.  I wish I was better at photography though, need to get more practice. Also wish I had money to buy more vintage film cameras.
4. I am an amazing procrastinator, and the internet is just fuel to my procrastinating fingers. My latest demons, are Youtube, IMDB, Pinterest, Guardian and Digital Spy
5. I am a technology lover, I don't promise to be an expert. But given the choice between £500 pounds spend on gadgets or say... an iPad, or shoes or a really expensive coat, I would choose the technology every time.
6. I am a singer through and through. I am forever singing, and most often if someone starts to sing something that I know I will join in. I love most genre's of music, my itunes has about 7000 songs on with genres ranging from Classical, to Jazz to, Punk, to Heavy Metal, to Bluegrass and the list goes on. I love to perform.
7. My family is so important to me. I don't know what I would do without them. Me and my sister are 4 years apart, but we are just really close. She is an amazing person and really talented, hopefully we get to live together again soon. I've been living away from home for 3 years now, which is amazing, and so much fun. I still love being back home and having us all together again in Singapore though.


Now for the awarding of my fellow blog-ites: (Really like your blogs folks :D )
1. A Cup of Jo
2. Chiz Chat
3. The Londoner
4. The Story (Claudia Moser)
5. Chocolate Teapot

Yesterday I found out that my friend had died. We had sort of lost touch, but we have the same group of friends back in Singapore. He was an amazing person, filled with charisma and enthusiasm about most things. He was a talented musician among many other things. Whatever his demons may have been they are gone now, and I hope that those he left behind are able to move forward without him. He will forever be immortal through the memories he left with us all.

Rest in peace Matthew (Matt) Vogtle

Love and peace to all of you who have lost a friend. x

My Bucket List- Well it's more a list of things I want to do before I'm 30. So I have 9 years :D Since my 21st is on tuesday march 6th 2012. I can't wait!

Here is the list as it stands now:
sing in a jazz club
be in a broadway musical
live in europe
live in new york
learn to play piano
learn to read music properly
learn sign language (in progress)
watch all the star wars movies/bond films
learn to scuba dive
be published somewhere
walk a red carpet event
Get 100,000 views on a youtube singing video
Make my own album
be in a film
be on a tv show or series
learn to use photoshop
have a photograph in a magazine
go to antarctica to see penguins
learn to write with my right hand
go to a film festival
go to a camping music festival
learn spanish and french
volunteer with big cats
volunteer in asia
Work in a summer camp in america

So I just got back from my 50 hour Escape and Evade Challenge.
Result: We made it to Glasgow :D
Raised: £525 for Great Ormond Street Hospital

Considering that we hadn't made any ground on acquiring plane or travel reservations, and were basically going into this blind and with nothing, I am quite proud. We also go back to discover that 2 groups of the 6 participating had dropped out, and that one isn't making back in time - after having one too many in Amsterdam.

Milage wise- google has told me that it was 996 miles in total. So fingers crossed we come out the winners, because that would be amazing. We have slept in Victoria Coach station and on various buses/coaches, and eaten in random places and been cold most of the time.

Thanks to Longleys taxi's, Megabus Coaches, and Greyhound Buses UK, for getting us to these places- and thanks for nothing to most airlines, train lines, and national express!
Can't believe we did it.


Yay team Charity Skywalkers!

Love and Peace x
