I thought that now felt like a cozy time to update.

I'm sitting here with a cup of tea and a raisin bread toast. Yum. Mum bought these cute, little white cup and saucers so I'm sampling them and to tell you the funny truth, the tea tastes all the more better.

Its 11:08PM and about an hour ago we all got back from the little ones eisteddfod in the ( Read more... )

Sounds wonderful, dearie! What is an eisteddfod? (pardon my ignorance ;))

I think your icon is sweet, where is it from?

An eisteddfod is like a singing competition kind of.
Choirs enter themselves into it, and there is 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes in each category [like it could be poetry etc and they have like under 5's and under 12yr olds etc]. And basically its just to get the young ones confident with performing in front of audiences, and they get marks and comments, so that the teacher and the students can see where they might need to improve or touch up etc.

Its a good experience.

ooh, that really sounds cool!

That particular picture is a publicity shot for one of the famous "Bogart-Bacall" movies. I think it's from one of my favorites "To Have and Have Not". Over the past few years, I've become quite the Humphrey Bogart fan. :) *hugs*

I was wondering where I'd seen the guy in the picture from. :) Apparently Bogart was opposite to his roll in "Sabrina" (with Audrey Hepburn) and was quite a playboy.

So what is eisteddfod? I have never heard of it before but it sounds interesting.

Wouldn't it be so cool to go to a old fashioned dance? They were such a nice way to socialize and mix with people your age.I think a dance there would be fun.

It is kind of nice getting use to interacting with your brothers in Christ.I use to never talk to guy but now I have some guy friends which is nice.
So do you think guys and girls can just be friends?

Oh yes, it would be very cool to go to an old fashioned dance.

Its been that way all my life.

What do you think?

I laughed at your tea tasting better in your cute cups. Seriously, my tea does taste better in my favorite green mug. :D :D

Your teacher.. as in piano? voice? What would enrolling you in the eisteddfod do for you?

You can skip my eisteddfod question since I saw your answer to another comment above as to what it was :D

Isn't it a weird thing...*grin*

My voice teacher.
Enrolling us in an eisteddfod would just help boost our confidence and be a good experience for us and we get commented on and points etc so we know what area of our singing to work on etc. Also you can get good publicity in different area's etc. Since heaps of schools from around Brisbane come to that and many well known singing and music professors and the mayor for Brisbane were there, so it just gets you out there and gives you a 'shove off'. :)

Do you do singing exams?
