ROUND 2 - DAY 14

Almost at the halfway point again!...

        Time is flying by and I seem to be managing to get most of it done. I have decided that the one exception to the rules that I will give myself is the 3 dance classes. I am so pressed for time as it is and as much as I would love to do the dance classes, I should really be taking that time to study, so if I fit some classes in, then great, but I am going to make the mature decision to put my studies first for now so that I have the right priorities.

DAILY PRACTICE REPORT
        30mins Vocal Exercises on my lunch break at work + 15mins 'Look At Me Now' Practice

CHARITABLE DEED / RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS #2
        My random act of kindness today was very random indeed. Two of my colleagues/chaperones from work were in the line behind me buying their breakfast and I decided to pay for it for them. They were both surprised and very grateful and when they asked me why I was doing it I said "just because I love working with you guys!" and I think they really appreciated it. Giving without expecting anything in return is one of the best feelings.

BODY CONDITIONING / FITNESS SESSION #4
        20mins Run into 20mins Walk - 5.43km
        10mins Ab Workout

ROUND 2 - DAY 12 & 13

Another two bite the dust...

        Another two days have passed and my life is busier than ever. I am somewhat struggling to keep up with how jam packed my days are but I am still soldiering on. I am determined to see this second round to the end. I am fitting in as much as I can where I can but still I definitely stressing about my studies as I am falling very behind and I seem to just be getting busier and busier but I want to succeed with my study. I want to prove to myself that I can complete the certification. With that being said, let's get this entry done so I can continue to study!...

DAILY PRACTICE REPORT
        Day 12 - 15mins Vocal Warm Up/Exercises before performance and I included the songs sung whilst performance as the rest of my practice.
        Day 13 - I had a migraine last night from my neck pain and did not complete any vocal practice. I will have to make myself do a minimum of 1 hour practice tomorrow to make up for it... :(

LIVE PERFORMANCE #2

        A friend of mine Roze was unwell so I went down and covered for her at a band performance on the beach. It was so much fun. There was this large group of really young children that were just so cute and so fun to play for. They sat right in front of the stage and watched us perform and even made me a sign before they left as you can see in the pictures above. The gig itself was challenging but also great fun. I had to play around with harmonies a little and I also was made to use the egg shakers. That was a first for me and I will definitely have to work on doing that more. 

PERSONAL TRAINING SESSION #4
        I had another session with Amir. This time it was 1 1/2 hours and we did circuit training for legs. He was great because I am having a lot of trouble with my neck injury at the moment and he altered our training session to avoid anything that used my upper body so that I was still able to train. It was challenging but definitely motivating to push myself in new ways.

BONUS ACHIEVEMENT; ACTING IN A FILM CLIP

         Some Malay friends of mine were filming their film clip for their 'originals' band 'Tujuh' which means 'Seven' in malay and the song title is 'Gila' which means 'Crazy'. I volunteered to go down and help out by playing a 'band judge' and represented the character of 'Vanity'. It was filmed in the theatre of a local school and you can see a photo above of the stage and of the other two judges and I. I have never really acted at all before so it was great to jump out of my comfort zone and try something new! I can't wait to see the end result!...

HEALTH CONSCIOUS MEAL #12

Just a little fruit for breakfast in the cab on the way to work :P
