Welcome to my new life!

Hello Singapore and everyone in my new school, YST! This is my first blog I've written since I came to Singapore for studying.
My name is Trinh Ha Linh and I prefer to be called Lynn, my English name. I've played the cello for about 11 years. I love playing in orchestra and chamber music, especially in Piano trio group. I make quite many friends here and I think they are so nice and all good musicians.
I've been here for a month but I have so many opportunities to play in orchestra. Before coming here, I've never imagine that I will play the Hindemith and Shostakovich Symphonies at this age because they are so famous and extremely hard. But I did it with my new friends, my new orchestra members in YST and it was awesome, the best orchestra I've played with.
I've started school one week ago, this is the second week of semester 1. I feel so much pressure, so many assignments need to be complete, so many studies and orchestra pieces need to be practiced. I've slept less and less and still do not have enough time to practice. I need more than 3 hours a day for practice and more than 2 hours to do my all assignments. But any way, everybody get pressure, but I will find the way to get over soon.
That's it, my new life in Singapore, busy and tired all the time but I know that I'm improving my self to be the best. I'm so happy with that!
PS: I miss my mom the best, miss Vietnamese food and my friends in VN.
