Claimed a Late X'mas Gift : Jan-15

Was it the Christmas two years ago or three years ago when Victor was extraordinarily generous.. Upon their request, he bought Qi a MacBook Pro and Xuan a Canon G16. He also asked me what I would want. I thought of a flute but I wasn't sure if I had wanted it badly enough to play on it regularly.. Hence I told him I wanted a flute but would claim my X'mas gift at a later date!

The first recent trigger was the YFP. Although performance was only over a weekend, but those two days at the toa payoh stadium waiting area sitting where the Kotekitai and Brass Band would do their warm up, I badly wanted to play on my instrument and join in a performance again.. The longing, the ache acted up. 

Second trigger was Xuan's wind orchestra concert. Brought back vivid memories of my own performances and competitions.. The longing to be on playing acted up again. 

Background trigger must be Victor and En on the ukulele! For so many months, Victor has been playing, practising on his uke everyday. Surely I can pick up and try to master an instrument like them too! The instrument have to one I like.. maybe one which I have not touched for ages??!

A man of action, very soon after I told Victor that I may want to claim my X'mas gift, he immediately spring into action and before I knew it, we were in PlazaSing's Yamaha buying a flute!!

I love Victor!!
