Let me start the ball rolling....

- learn to play the piano and violin
- learn to cook
- get driving license
- learn to rollerblade properly
- get a 2nd degree!

hrmmm... will update if i can think of more.

[miztgral]

Eventually I want to learn:
1. Baking
2. Dressmaking
3. Driving
4. Pick up guitar again
5. Pick up French again

Well... "eventually" being the operative word here... heh.

[MsRuElf]

seems like we all wanna learn french!! haaa. anyone here can provide some useful info on where to learn etc.!

Im interested in dress making too... but would have to get a sewing machine first... which might be quite costly huh...




I think TIME is all we need to get started.....

hi.. i took french at Alliance Francaise at Sarkie's Rd (near Newton MRT) but have stopped for 2 yrs already. haha.
i hope the link above works..

I want to learn cooking/baking!

Im hopeless in the kitchen, and I only go in there whenever Im being made to do the dishes. I would really like to be the chef for once!

I think it will be really if I can sometimes cook for my family or loved ones.

[swerves018]

i would love to:
- continue learning french (i learnt at Alliance Francaise too!)
- learn hindi, spanish
- learn salsa, latin, rhumba, waltz
- learn cooking/baking
- learn wakeboarding and windsurfing
- learn harp
- one day, complete my piano dip so that mom will allow me to learn harp

[Care Bear]

I want to continue learning the piano, if I have the money, I want to quit my job and persue a second degree of my choice full time. Or do a masters

[MsRuElf]

Verena : thanks for the link! it does work! will consider it! ha when sch starts so i'll know my schedule. ha but guitar will be first up. haha .

sigh TIME!!

hey Prettyeagle! IMO, i think we dont need to "learn" to cook or bake! ALL u need is a recipe book... serious!

there was one period when i was younger. only abt 12!!i was so interested in cooking and baking i just bought a veriety of cooking books and also used my mum's! and start selecting things i want to eat. and just cook/bake them!! i

just need to get the ingredients and follow step by step! of cos the first time is always not gd. but trust me! the nxt or the nxt nxt time! u'll get it!

Get a cookbook!! and give urself a whole day in the kitchen. dont expect too much and im sure u'll be on the way....


swerves018: most of the things u wanna learn are really unique and rare haha . like hindi?! and ... the harp? cool. all the best!

Care bear:nice nick! love care bear. ha oops.work hard now. earn enough money and further ur studies! its nv too late to learn!/study!

[butterflykisses]

i wanna take up japanese. i don't really dig the language, but i think its advantageous for work purposes as there are quite a few japanese companies in singapore. and its always good if you can speak in their language.

and i also wanna take up:

1) sign language. cos i wanna volunteer in singapore association for the deaf after that. anyone wanna join me, pm me k!
2) gu zhen (but i have absolutely no idea where to learn this)

Wow, i love this thread!
