About Me

I'm new! Hope to have a lot of fun, I promise to send out all my swaps on time and put lots of heart into things!

I think I am very strange :D & very longwinded =x

Singing is one of my huge passions and it is the reason why my username is pitchpipes(: Though I've played the piano longer than I've been studying voice, I enjoy singing much more, especially the high As and Bs since I sing soprano :D

I believe, as what Schumann said, that "the painter turns a poem into a painting; the musician sets a picture to music." Perhaps it's this whole idea of expression that I really cherish and that's why I've also loved crafting since I was young. As a kid I often felt very demoralised during art because I couldn't draw (& still can't!) but when I grew a little older I found out that I could colour-coordinate, make nice cards, decorate notebook covers, scrapbook according to intuition..and I really enjoy it a lot! I think you put a little of yourself into every work that you do, and that's really awesome.

I also write & read poetry(: Poems are exceedingly beautiful because it manages to convey complex emotions through a simple form, and the intricate craft of the writing form is cathartic in its revelation.

Cats/kittens are terribly adorable! I love meowing at stray cats (they meow back :D). I don't like dogs though my neighbours' dogs are terribly noisy D:< Sadly, I'm not allowed to have a cat until I move out ):

Colours! I used to like purple a lot but not so much anymore. I really don't like pink on its own, but the combination of light salmon pink (#FF9999) and brown is lovely, and my favourite is light blue and brown. I also like teal & silver, and shiny stuff 8D

Finally, I really enjoy Korean drama serials(:

Random Stuff :D

i ♥ traveling & seeing colourful places (in all senses of the word: the most you get in Singapore is green & blue), starry nights, rain, poetry in places, photography, polaroids

typewritten text, brown paper bags, small plushies, nice fabric esp japanese print (bunnies!), cloth ribbons, pretty scrapbooking paper, paint tubes, buttons, old school, vintage-ish small pendants, quirky things, fashion mags (to cut), frankie magazine

tote bags, sling bags, satchels, zippered pouches, cube wallets

notebooks, rhodia 5X5 notepads, grid paper, self-decorated covers :D

original music scores :3 especially vocal ones; puccini's o mio babbino caro, bellini's ma rendi pur contento, mozart's de holle rache ♥♥ piano; chopin, beethoven, rachmaninoff. I love Maria Callas's voice, & Natalie Dessay's too(:

Music (non-classical xD)

Comment: It arrived in tact, and super cool. Thank you. I found a flute on ebay for $30, works great! I love to sing too, but have never had formal lessons. Since we're both music lovers want to set up a mix CD swap?
