Again?

Choir's back to haunt my ass. While I do like to sing, I don't exactly like to spend so much time in school to practise. So it was with mixed feelings that I dragged my feet to the choir room.

Was horribly out of practice because I can't even hit high notes decently, omfg lah, I sounded like a dying chicken trying to sing the opera before gasping its last breathe. So it was quite obvious that I sucked on my vocal test. Argh. Hated my voice then... really really disgusting tone.

It's only July, but we're already learning songs for carolling. Am also with ambigueous feelings on this because I'm not exactly a Christmas person, with the whole birth of savior thing, but on one hand, it's good that I'm not exactly familiar with all the carols, or else I'll have a hard time sticking to my alto line obediently.

Garbage in, Garbage Out

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well, let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

I sort of feel that this list is biased towards the classics as well as genre I don't exactly enjoy, but well, it shows just what I have not or have been reading over these many years. I think I read the most during my upper pri- lower sec years because that period was the time where I have less of an opinion on reading materials and would just devour whatever that catches my fancy, as opposed to now, I'm more set in my ways, sticking to my comfort zone and rarely going out to read other genres of books.
