YEP, IT'S WORKING NOW

yey yey yey!
laptop's up and running now.

ahhhh... feels great to start afresh.
now all i have to do is wait for eons to transfer piles of files back to the pc, surf the net and reinstall all my lost programs, and borrow the windows essentials a.k.a. microsoft office and adobe photoshop and acrobat from my fellas here. and yeah, reorganize my 1600+ mp3s!

i'm not complaining, mind you.
just glad that things are back to normal now.

oh yeah, i joined a vocal workshop this afternoon.
trick is to find the "mix" between chest voice and head voice.
forget diaphragm stuff, the instructor said. it's all bout speech-level singing.
oookay!

this guy's connected to some guy who's connected with a guy who does vocal training for no less than michael jackson and madonna and ricky martin and stevie wonder and grammy winners, so this might just be good.

(but no, i'm not gonna sign up for the S$100+ training in may, thank you.) =)
