Beethoven Concerto
After missing Beethoven piano concerto, the little mouse insist and persist on going to watch Beethoven violion concerto, though she does prefer piano more.
Some enlightenment from dear Mr. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized December 17, 1770[1] – March 26, 1827) was a German composer. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of music, and was the predominant figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music. His reputation and genius have inspired — and in many cases intimidated — ensuing generations of composers, musicians, and audiences. While primarily known today as a composer, he was also a celebrated virtuoso pianist and conductor, and an accomplished violinist.
Born in Bonn, Germany, he moved to Vienna, Austria, in his early twenties, and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. In his late twenties he began to lose his hearing gradually, and yet he continued to produce notable masterpieces throughout his life, even when his deafness was almost total. Beethoven was one of the first composers who worked as a freelance — arranging subscription concerts, selling his compositions to publishers, and gaining financial support from a number of wealthy patrons — rather than being permanently employed by the church or by an aristocratic court.

Dance Information Online
Good central location to everything (well, almost) you want to know about dancing.
-> http://www.knowledgehound.com/topics/dance.htm
Basically this is a central portal to various dancing web sites. Has many links to web sites on dances from ballroom, latin, hip hop, rock & rol, ballet, break dance, etc, and even web sites on general information on dancing.
-> http://www.ballroomdancers.com
My favourite hang out site. Loaded with dancing resources and information. Allows you to learn how to dance easily via step-by-step video (yes, video streaming on dance steps!), listen some sample dance music, buy/sell dancing apparel, etc.

Teaches a lot of dances. The main shortcoming is that it is purely TEXT. Dance steps are described in text, making rather hard to imagine. But still, a good web site to really understand the steps, in a technical perspective.

Unlocking Miracles
Dancing class was fun! Learn new steps, dance to the new beat. And yes, since the little mouse has yet to buy her purple dancing shoes, her feet are literally screaming for help.
“Ya,” said the little mouse, “I can hear my toes lamenting. But I am enjoying every beat! Woo hoo~”
And yes, she STILL has two left feet. And yes, she still holds her breathe when she dances.
“Breathe… You need to BREATHE!” exclaimed her dance instructor. Most probably because he do not want the trouble of dragging her unconscious body out of the space floor if she ever pass out.
The highlight was not only the dance, but also after the dance class.
It was late. And not to mention dark. There were only two of them; namely the little mouse and one of her friend from the dancing class. They were on paying the parking fee, when suddenly…
*cheng* *cheng* *cheng*
Another of her dancing friend, Trisie-Wisie, came to pay her parking fee as well. Haha! Got you… OK, back to story…
The little mouse and her friend waved to greet her.
Trisie-Wisie excited to see them.
Trisie-Wisie waved back.
Trisie-Wisie stepped out of her car.
Trisie-Wisie closed her car door…
Uh oh! Her car is still running. Her car key was still inside her car. And her car door was locked!
Spare keys, no. Locksmith, it was too late at night. Parking attendants, they looked like they are running away from them. Great, now what are they going to do. Attempt to break in, of course! So, there were three of them, in the empty parking lot, attempting to pull out parts from her car.
Then, a car passed by. Ohh… it was their dance instructor. He went off, but thank God he came back.
“Oh my,” he said, “how could this happened. And the car’s engine is still running. Ok, let me try. I have done this a few times.” Hmm… broken into cars a few times. Ironically, the statement seems assuring.
So, now there were four of them in the empty parking lot. He tried using a long steel, which he “extracted” from the car’s wipers, to unlock by sliding into door. But the steel was rather flimsy and short. Thus, after numerous attempts, they switched to Plan B, i.e.: breaking the window…
As the he was trying to “pull off” the car’s window, the little mouse and Trisie-Wisie attempt to unlock the door using her house door key. Yes, her house key. But as she attempt to thrust the key into the key hole, the little mouse noticed the door was opened!
“A miracle!” the dance instructor exclaimed. And yes, thank God! None of them really knew how the door suddenly became unlocked, but thank God indeed!
And so, it was a great experience for the little mouse. Not just that she had learnt new dance steps, but learnt, too, on how to break into cars. And of course she learnt that God is a god of miracles. No obstacle is too big for Him to overcome. No concern is too small for Him to care.
Yes, Lord. Make us awe! Amen.

Phantom of the Opera
Counting down two more months till watching Phantom of the Opera LIVE on stage! Yes, the little mouse and her chipmunk friend bought tickets to watch her ever so loved musical stage performance, staging down south in Lioncity. Oh, for her love on musicals, especially this! A dream come true indeed! The excitement and the anticipation!
That is why...
Her little friend is constantly reminding her to behave herself. And not, I repeat NOT, to sing along every song. The little mouse is very, very capable of that. Mind you, maybe she'll dance too. Yes, you heard that right. So, let's keep her in prayer, that she will be in her best behaviour, amen :)

Abigail the Mouse
The little mouse paid a visit to the wise ol' Uncle Google and found something rather interesting about herself. Little did the little mouse know, she is very much featured in books and cartoons and plays. Books, cartoons and plays for little children, to be precise.
There's this cartoon on the family of Furlings, where Abigail Wood Mouse explore new adventures with her cute furry friends.
http://www.raelambert.com/characters/furlings.htm
Then there's this little children book on Abigail Mouse and her fellow friend Sophie the rabbit.
http://www.powells.com/biblio?show=HARDCOVER:USED:9781561484348:4.50#synopses_and_reviews
And there is this play...
http://perso.wanadoo.es/e/lingua_arts/mouse.html
Interesting! The little mouse is more popular than she could ever imagine. Popular to little children, to be precise :)

Passion for Dancing! (Part II)
Yes, dancing updates! The little mouse is always ever so excited to share about her passion in dancing. Never has she regretted taking time off to go for the classes. You know, the time she spent on dancing classes, she could gladly use is for.... well, sleeping... and the money for the dancing fees for... well, eating...
Hmm... eating and sleeping... a definite sign of PPM (Pre-Procrastination Syndrome), which will lead to SDD (Silent Dream Death). Let’s not dwell into that, shall we? Life has too much wonder to discover :)
Back to the topic.
The little mouse would really really really (yes, crazily really) would want to get a pair of purple dancing shoes! Yes, for the love of dancing and her purple indulgence. But, hardly she can find dancing shoe shops or shoe makers in her homeland. However, that did not stop her from browsing through the designs in the Internet. And all you Internet lovers say, amen!
These dancing shoes are just lovely shoes… really an adoration…*drool*
But, she still needs to scout her homeland for it. Most probably she needs to open her mouth and ask her fellow dancing friends in her class.
In the meantime, let’s drool over the pictures she got from the web site: http://www.latindancefashions.com
Yes, yes and yes. This is NOT purple. But it's really nice swweeeettt... :)

Ode to Wern
The little mouse has a wonderful friend, Wern. When she knew that her friend is leaving to another land in pursue of her dreams, the little mouse was broken hearted. For she knew she will miss her wonderful friend dearly. Especially the sharing and the bonding with her…
The chits and the chats together…
The laughter and giggles shared…
The classical music and the orchestra listened…
The blues and swings and the jazz night out…
“I’ll already missing you…” exclaimed the little mouse, though there is three more month till she leaves.
So, the little mouse blesses her dear friend. And pray that the Lord will bless her and guide her as she ventures out into the foreign land. Pray for protection over her safety and health. And pray for favor among the people in that land. Pray that she will prosper in wisdom, health and wealth. And also, pray that she will not forget her little mousie friend in her homeland. Amen.

Passion for Dancing!
It was the little mouse’s New Year resolution three year ago. Then, it became her resolution for the next year. And the year after that…
Well, have to admit it, procrastination is a deadly silent dream killer.
“Enough is enough! It’s time to take action. Or again, let my heart suffer from another year of lost dream!” Hmm… ok, the little mouse was a bit exaggerating. But then again, why let down a passion God has placed in her heart doze off into silent slumber… again…
On the first month of the year 2007, the little mouse went on a journey of exploration and search. She took time and effort to search far and wide (on the day she really wanted to sleep! Oh yes, nothing like a Sunday afternoon nap). After her daily work, she pursued on her exploration. She enquired, observed, sampled…
And yes, she finally decided…
The dance school she’s going to enroll! Yes, you got that right! The little mouse is learning to dance. Latin dance, to be precise.
Now, she has gone through two wonderful classes. She enjoyed the savor of every moment. Well, sometimes she does feel silly; dancing on her own, observing her own feet, counting the beats and giggling profusely. Nevertheless, she never could imagine dancing can such a breathtaking passion (literally speaking, the little mouse sometimes forgot to breathe while counting her steps).
Oh, how she longs to dance and dance and dance! An hour class weekly never seems enough. The steps, the twirls, the beats, the sway… how she wishes to dance all night long.
And how thankful she is to God. Who had planted such passion in her heart… Amen!
---
BTW, good site for those who are interested about dancing; whether it's good ol' cha cha cha, the fun quicksteps and even the elegant waltz. They even post video clips on how to do some basic dancing steps.

Psalm 23
Taken from a forwarded email :)
Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd
That's Relationship!
I shall not want
That's Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
That's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
That's Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul
That's Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.
That's Guidance!
For His name sake
That's Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
That's Testing!
I will fear no evil.
That's Protection!
For Thou art with me
That's Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me,
That's Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
That's Hope!
Thou anointest my head with oil,
That's Consecration!
My cup runneth over.
That's Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
That's Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.
That's Security!
Forever.
That's Eternity!
