Last few days of 2007!!

I'm blogging at somebody else's house... shall not mention the name cos she will proud. lol!! =x Ok lah.. at Zhiwen's house... haha.



Preparing and waiting for the new year to come...another one and half hour to go... but time is passing quite slowly... meanwhile... update abt the weekend ba...



Sat went singing with von and yuhui.... chek last min pang seh.. haha... then von left early to meet her whoever lor.... so in the end yuhui and i sing until very shuang cos they nv chase us out.... i think suntec kbox got too many empty rooms and too little ppl go there liao. lol! So i'm going there again tmr with nyco ppl.. heex. but that's at least another half a $50 gone. And that kbox increased their tibits price to 6++... when the stuff are still the same!!!!! DOTX.



Then sunday was a day out to malaysia... 泗弯岛.. with my family minus my dad... my er-jiu and wife... and melody and sylvia... The day was SO HOT! The best part of the trip was really the lunch.. ate a total of like 3 lobsters! LOL! =x I think i ate the most lobsters lor... and we were so lucky... so coincidentally my er-jiu's boss went there also! And he actually paid for our meal! actually quite paiseh lah cos we all also dunno each other... and we only know when we wanted to pay after the meal... we ordered quite a lot lor... oyster omelet, kangkong, fried mee, steam lobster, butter lobster! yeah! (i forgot still have what le).. OH! and boar's meat too... really nice! hahaha.



Went ard some homes and some shops to purchase biscuits and then back to sg... rested and slacked ard... started raining very heavily... luckily it stopped when i wanted to go out... supposed to watch movie with minhui, zhiwen and joel at 8plus... but someone couldn't make it to that timing... so went to zhiwen's house first then looked for alternatives. which was a later show... so we still went to watch National Treasure... the four of us so funny lor... run here run there just to find food... in the end got into the cinema the movie just about to start. we skipped all the gv advertisements! haha!



Then I went home after that cos i have to work today while the 3 of them went back to zhiwen's house... the difference was... i took a cab while they wanted to be adventurous and walked back instead.... i was back abt 10mins while they only reached home at 3am. And still call me and say they reach already... so stupid right... haha!!!



And now i'm actually at zhiwen's house now... and it's like 4.45am now... i took like how many hours to blog? and i dun want to blog liao lor... dunno who rush me to faster blog finish... haha! Watched 2 HORROR movies after the countdown... er... i only watched one and half cos the 2nd one i watched halfway and fell asleep... and after the movie ended... i woke up on my own... haha! and wide awake now... waiting for the dawn to come... so that we can go for breakfast! hahah!!



aiya... dun want to blog liao lah... go home then blog... so ma fan lor... still ask me to upload the photos now... dotx. bye!!!!!

The adventure of my leg and work..

Ok... i was so blur.. i didn't even write anything abt 24th. haha!

Ya.. actually it was an off day as i requested the night be4.. it was quite last min.. but ann auntie found someone to take over me.... but the next morning (24th)... while i was happily watching tv and slacking ard at 10am... she gave me a call and say uncle ronnie and mike (another fellow part-timer) might need help cos only the 2 of them were at the shop... and his son didn't want to go work as well... so being helpful... i agreed to go work after i got ready... (if not i'd be slacking at home anyway). good thing she didn't set a time limit for me to get there..

But then it was the worst day my leg could go... i couldn't even balance stepping on my bed the moment i woke up.. even stepping on the floor is painful.. not to say something soft... my dad reckon it's a bit of inflammation caused by the accupuncture... i seriously have no idea but have my dad apply some ointment for me lor... so i was walking really really slow out of my house to work... forging calmness as he watched me up the stairs.. actually is very pain when i lift up my heel. =x

So the whole day i was moving ard very very slowly... i took super long to walk ard.. even till the night... but miracle happened the next day! i woke up not feeling any sharp pain like 24th. and i could walk normally! i dunno how did it happen again. weird yea... still screaming in pain one day and all pain gone the next! haha. then today... the original side got a little pain back again. dotx. i just dunno what's with my legs. haha!

Anyway... very long nv work with mike le also... i guess he haven't change much... still there to suan me most of the time yea... dunno what's his problem.. but i think he grew more useful helping uncle to do some repairs. haha! =x he still remind me of the days we worked in suntec tgt lah... so funny lah he...

Ytd was quite a mistake... actually i wasn't wrong... was supposed to go to oub centre. but when i reached there... ziling was there as well! so in the end after consulting ann auntie... she ask me to go over to shaw... but i reckon there was already 3 ppl there.. dunno ask me go for what... but anyway fine lah... more money lor. haha.

Then today at oub centre... not that i dun like to go there... and not that the working partner is not good... but i get sick listening to her complaints abt someone else who is not there... that's why im working there... every time i go there.. there bound to be something she will nag abt him... and she can go on for the whole day harping on the same issue... sometimes i really dun like to listen to such stuff... i dun like to be involved in such stuff pertaining to someone i dun really know... but well... i could only try to change the topic and blah blah.. i dunno lah. AND then... i dunno why but she just couldn't get my name right... she call me wanLing instead of wanying. dotx. thou everyone calls me not so correct.. but not as bad as getting the letters wrong. i dunno but she just get it right thou i wrote my name down. haha. and she always call SO loud. and tells everyone else my name is wanling.. haix. i hope i dun have to go there again. and i hope someone can correct her... haha.

Back track a bit.... Christmas was spent with melody and sylvia... stepped out of my house and it started to rain while i was in the lift... the SUPER HEAVY kind of rain... i think all the german shepards, the huskys dropped down from the sky. but it was like sunny by the time we got to amk. good! went to suki sushi... only to realise they dun offer buffet there... but their sushis are mostly 99cents per plate... and they have special menu including bentos, mini steamboat, teppanyaki and etc. very nice! :)) and didn't have to pay a lot as well... just that have to go all the way to amk lah.. haha..

Shopped ard amk hub and reap some harvest from there... hee. spent quite a bit of money lah! didn't really control myself... but quite long nv spend until so happy liao. moreover with my best buddies... haha! =x

Ok.. bye.

For the past week!

Realised that i'm really lazy and tired to do any update lately. =x Really bad...


Anyway.. it was a bad week for me.... cos i had to put up with my very painful leg(s). It was supposed to be one leg.. but it became both legs and now it's the other leg. it's worse than having my ankle sprained. apparently it happened during my work.. (it was only when i see the sinseh that reminded me of how i hurt my leg vein). finally went to see one on sat after dragging for a week plus.. he did accupuncture on my good leg (left)... and the pain somehow shifted from the actual pain leg (right) to the left! and today it got the worst ever. i couldn't even stand on my bed this morning.


Er.. last week... last sun.. which was 16th... went to malaysia with my mother's usual grp of khakis... it was quite fun... u really get to see very interesting aunties and uncles on the bus... they sure are a very funny lot... like i'm often amazed that my mother have such nice friends around and they could always enjoy themselves. then it sets myself to think if i will be as sociable as my mother when i grow old... haha!

haha! last tues to be exact... met up with a few syco ppl to celebrate the 'glam' peiqian's bday... She brought us to some very glam place called 'House' somewhere in demsey hill. the food was quite nice and the price quite reasonable as well... the dessert she ordered was good... i think it's mini tea cupcakes. :) Then went for some shopping for presents... settled 2 very impt presents. haha. Then accompany sylvia to ling's shop... renovate till very nice lor. the counter looks very pro.. and the chair very nice to sit. haha! i'm determined to make a new pair of specs! :)))

Then thurs... went out to get the next impt present... despite my very painful leg... i walked ard suntec and marina sq to look for something suitable enough... it's quite hard to make a choice... cos she dun have anything she like in particular... or at least not that i know of... haha... so in the end i bought something that can be used... but dunno if she will use it. =x Then had pizza hut with my family. yeah! but the christmas pizza not really very nice. haha. quite plain.

Fri work... worked overtime!!!! for 1h... while the 2 of them worked 2h OT to complete whatever is there.. super busy day... then went down to mco chalet with sylvia for i think less than 2hours... didn't do much... i was quite tired... and it took very long be4 we could actually start playing bridge and we left quite early cos she scared after that no shuttle bus to go out... true also lah.. cos walk out very far... somemore leg pain... after that started working on my presents. as in.. wrapping them... haha! watch tv and wrapping at the same time... i finished watching a few shows and i haven't finish wrapping. haha.

Ya.. so sat went to see chinese physician and i came out with only my right hand still normal... the rest of my limbs are quite painful due to the accupuncture. the rest of the day was spent slacking at home and continuing to wrap the presents. until it was time to go for dinner and to swan lake! :)))

SWAN LAKE is cool!! i find that it's really not easy to narrate a story just by dance... there's a lot of gestures that they need to make... and the audiences have to understand as well... becos there's not dialogues.. just movements and dances and actions made... oh. and the costume as well... they got very bling bling costumes lah... the main female lead danced very well... while the prince kept getting unbalance in his turns.. tsk tsk. didn't see er-jie's friend performing. dunno why.

Anyway... sunday is the day! First was lunch at uncle yeo's house... the food are all very very nice... if not for the other party at night... i knew i would stay thru the day.... haha! but at least this year i still get to go cos they started with lunch first... the previous years were just dinner... and i haven't been to their christmas party for a few years due to the very coincidental cogang celebrations. why huh?! next year hopefully not on the same day again. not even in this manner. heex.

Ok.. then the celebration with the beloveds... i think they all nv pray for good weather lah... (or they purposely dun want to bbq, so pray for rain) that's why it rained so heavily ytd... so we scrap the bbq and in the end still ended up in my house. and then u see.. good weather today!!! DOTX. wasted my $10. ok.. not my $10... but i didn't count it in lah... and i forgot to count the ham in as well... lol! Anyway... i shall not elaborate cos i'm very tired already... but i want to thank them for letting my enjoy myself and putting in the effort to buy present, write cards, make our names and help to buy the food and drinks... and their presence too! :)

Really tired.. just need to do one more thing be4 going to sleep.. that is to send ppl free minis... but most of my friends got it already cos sylvia koh snatched all of them away... dotx... she best lah... so they start petting all my friend's (fluff)friends faithfully... and giving away free minis to them one step faster than i do... haha!

Ok.. i'm done.. no pictures yet cos i dun have them and i'm really tired already. so nites... and actually it's already 2am of 25th dec now... so MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! :)))

投名状

Haven't blogged for almost a week... too many things to update... haix. too lazy to do so anyway. =x

Last fri.. went work then watch 投名状 with my family. Some of the scenes are rather bloody and gory... (that's why it's NC16) sometimes getting a little freaked out. But the scenes are very much manificent too. esp. the war parts where the other army finally decided to join forces with jet li's army to fight the opponent. Takaeshi is like supporting actor in the show lah. and i seriously think that he doesn't have the look of being in that era and i feel that he's not suitable to act such role with jet and andy. sorry but he doesn't look heroic enough. But he's no doubt very very charming. haha! The ending was... quite expectable i think... oh... but i didn't expect the method the ending happened. haha. anyway. it's a nice show lah. :)

I'm so tired now.. i dun feel like typing anymore. =x bye.

Family and Work

This week is really a rather busy week... i have really no time to get out on the streets... roam around and get some nice pressies for my dear friends. esp. to the grp i'm meeting on this sat! omg. i NEED to come out with something yea. they are my beloved royal family anyhows. just us. :)

Then then then... i'm so not getting anything for zhiwen.. haha! bleahx. something for everyone else!!! how's ur rubik's cube... i'm going to get one to play too. haha!

Had a small family gathering at uncle's cos of my great-grandmother's death anniversary. come to think of it... it has been 12 years... i rmb vividly that she died on christmas day in 1995. i was supposed to attend a christmas party at my friend's house but i had to forgo it.. i was very sad that time cos it was very very hard to persuade my mother to allow me to go... she finally agreed when my friend's mother spoke to her... but in the end i still didn't manage to turn up. ok.. anyway.. i was quite happy cos i wasn't just sitting there and staring at my phone doing nothing... i actually have ppl to talk to. at least my aunt-in-laws, my cousin spoke to me... had some conversation with the great family. but i left for work quite shortly after lunch..

Today at isetan not bad yea.... quite busy to begin with... at least got some things to do... and someone to talk to... honghan came and had quite a long talk... i think with her also have like thousands of things to talk abt.. haha! then sales quite good also... although at times it was quite messy... but today's buyers are quite easy-going.. good thing! :)

Tmr back to shaw... heex. Then... dinner and movie with my family!! kinda celebrate my mother's bday.. which is today! :))) WOW. so high. dun think we've done that be4 leh... as in watching movie tgt... going to watch WARLORDS. Andy's my mother's idol. so my sis decided to treat her to the movie and i insisted on tagging along. haha! =P I'm starting on my movies craze again.. anyone who wants to watch any movie. pls. look for me. i'll be so glad to watch with u. HEE.

Ytd my dad cleared some of my stuff and put aside some stuff for me to see whether i still want them... it was a whole big stack of POSTCARDS. it's really a big stack.. cos those were the extras after picking 2 of each design and i still have a lot more for some designs. dunno why i took sooooo many last time. hahaha... but i joked that i could actually sell them at a flea market... esp. for those movie postcards. the originals extincts after the movie ended what... so they are valuable... for a little money. well.. better than nothing... so i tried to keep some.. but not too many cos there's already a big shoe box filled. =x and there are still more not sorted yet. haha.

Ok.. going to sleep liao... got to wake up early... work! for the sake of my savings and extra allowance.. haix. have to do it.

My dedication to the friend

Yet.. another tired day.. think i'll nv be able to return all the sleep debts. haha! While some other friends get to sleep into late afternoon of the day... i have no choice but to wake up early in the morning despite my terrible condition. haix... too bad lately my fist a bit tight... i dun think i want to give up my work days for it... good thing tmr working aftn... but bad as well cos it will end rather late... just a bit lucky that it is quite near home.. so still all right. if not i will be like grumbling till like dunno what. haha!

Just saw a msg from a friend... and i have to say that i really can't bear to see him leave... anyhow we've spent some time tgt abroad... he has the talent... but i know it's kinda cos of his parents and studies as well... so i could only wish him all the best in the route he chose (or rather forced to choose)... and i hope he can do well after all the struggle to finally let go of something i know he so wanted to hold on dearly. Though he can be irritating when he tries to suan me or bully me and laugh at me (most of the time)... he is still the kind of friend that will help u whenever in need. He is just like a brother to me who can be childish sometimes... but he nv failed to cheer ppl up as well. Will always rmb the days we spend in hongkong. He is the responsible sort and i guess that's why he wants to fulfill his responsibility to the family. It is great courage. Des TARD... thou i always say 'I hate you'.. u know i'm not serious. you are really a friend. Thanks for keeping me entertained and being a friend in syco as well. I sincerely wish you all the best and hopefully you will rejoin syco in future. Take care brother! :)

It's christmas soon... I haven't prepared anything.. haven't bought any pressies... practically not prepared for the festive. =x Been busy and will still be busy!! Dotx. hopefully i'll be able to get something out by this weekend. Looking forward to more outings!! Royal Family, SYCO peeps, COgang and my NYCO dearies. Really miss all my friends. DATE ME! :) EMMS.. singing next week?! haha... hopefully i will be fully recovered then. Heex!

SYCO chalet

Ok.. i'm actually quite tired now... but just want to update a little... i was still saying that i really owe a lot of entries to some past events... like real long ago.... dotx.

Anyway... SYCO chalet just ended... and throughout the whole thing.. i was still sick. WHY HUH? So i felt so bad to be coughing throughout the time there. =x Actually didn't really do much there also... first day was just some glocery shopping and then bbq at night... became quite sian when everyone else left for their own other activities and there was a time when there were only 2/3 ppl left in the room while some of them went airport and some of them to the arcade.. qinglun and meigui came for a while and at that time.. most of the ppl weren't ard... felt a bit bad cos they just came and sit sit ard for a while.. the arcade ppl came back ard 1am.. some of them left while the rest stayed for further entertainment activity... mahjong. too noisy till we tio complain lor.. dotx. then realised that jessly and i were the only girls ard. lol. Ya.. wanted to sleep but someone was just so energentic. i dunno why and how. by the time it was peaceful enough to sleep... it was time for me to wake up... DOTX.

Then.. i wasn't there for the whole of day 2 cos of work... heard the rest slept until 2pm... how fortunate.. i was super tired i nearly fell asleep during work. it was terrible cos at times i really feel very uncomfortable. this is something i like abt going to shaw centre... the ppl are really very easy-going and very nice.. asking am i ok and blah blah blah... i still completed the day safely.. and ann auntie told me to rest the next day since they only need 1 part-timer there... appreciated it. :)

Came home after movie with via cos there's nobody at the chalet... then was deciding whether to still go over or not cos it was already quite late.. just that i need to get my things from the chalet cos i only took out my wallet, hp and ipod to go to work. so anyway. i still went there cos of i dunno what reason. i think it's becos i'm hungry and they agreed that we are eating something. I waited so long for them lah... nearly fell asleep too.. i was really tired. By the time they wanted to tell ghost stories. i was already dozing off... after a few stories. i really conked out. thou the space to sleep was really very little and i'm really scared that i will fall off the bed... managed to sleep till morning. :) earliest to wake up cos i really no space liao... i was already sleeping at the very edge of the bed.. anyway it was close to check-out time so might as well be prepared first. good thing there wasn't too many of us... everyone wash up and we left the room a little late. haha.

Brunch at BK.. and planning next outing and whatever... and also where to go after that... i was actually really tired. so i didn't want to go out... but they dun want to stay home... so say want to come my house. haha. but all went home or to somewhere else to do whatever they want first lah... fell asleep on bus... fell asleep while waiting... i was really tired. cos i really didn't get to sleep for the first night. in the end joel, minhui and zhiwen came at 4+. and we rot and play rubic cube and play music and whatever till they left at 11pm. haha! Next time i will produce a cleaner study room with more space to sit and move ard. haha!! =P

Ok.. So i'm really tired now so nitex!

Back from genting

HI all! I'm back!!! :)))

First would like to congratulate all the 3 grps for getting GOLD for the competition! YEAH. not like it's going to affect me very much.. but it's the effort of everyone. :))

I think the trip on the whole is pretty fun... esp. with the ppl that we have actually known for a few years... i guess most of us had a great time... thou home is still the best place. It's freezing cold there lah... luckily i brought like 2 jackets. haha! but i spent quite a lot of the free time sleeping in our room as well.. haha!! =x

Ok.. cos unfortunately i fell sick after 2nd night... voice already start to fade on 2nd day.. but got worse... so third day which we have the most free time... half of those time were spent sleeping to regain some energy... i think i caught a cold... and result of not having enough water on first day also.. =x

Nevertheless... didn't waste our trip... still did quite a lot of fun stuff... esp. on the last night... tonned! haha...

Will update more soon.. :)))

Pre-Genting..

Wow.. it's only a few hours away from leaving home for genting... like really a few hours... erm... 3+h?? haha!! actually i dun feel like sleeping at all! but for the sake of being able to play and watch show on the way there... i shall go and sleep after this... hopefully these 4 days of not checking mails and stuff... everything wun flood. haha!

Hope that it will really be a nice trip... actually most of the ppl there are nice.. so i hope we would enjoy ourselves... And of cos.. get good results for the competition! Jiayou everyone! (not like anyone of them will be reading this... and not like i will check any comments be4 leaving.) =x But ya.. i hope we will achieve what we want for it and all the best to the soloists and the tanbo ensemble too! i'm confident!! :)

ANYWAY.. good friends of mine.. pls look after my xiaobai in (fluff)friends... treat him with love and dun let him starve... thank u! :)))

See u 4 days later!! :)

Early Christmas 1!

Had a few moments of early christmas this week...


First was with the SYCO ppl... 12 of us... wanted to watch Enchanted.. but only got 2 seats left.. er... for who to sit huh? haha... so we decided on this one instead...



I think the show is rather funny... there were quite a no. of laughing points in that 108min... haha... somemore there were ppl (our own ppl) one row behind giving some funny and rubbish commentary... lol. perhaps the most amazing thing is that the baby really says 'Ho' instead of crying when he was born... dotx. But well.. if u need some laughter... i think fred claus is not a bad choice.. :)


Then it was concert presented by Dream Academy... with via, horng, ling and yushi.. and this is it...



I think we all had our share of laughter... esp. during hossan's item... heard that horng laughed very loud hor? haha. but it was a rather pity that Sebastian tan was injured and couldn't perform... if not i'm sure we'll have more laughter than we did... i mean that's one of the reasons why i wanted to go... aiya.. why ah! but then hope he will recover soon lah. i tot there's "hokkien santa, sebastian tan, puts it 'Ho! Ho! Ho!'".. hmm... anyhows.. i enjoyed myself... with the rest of the cast for the night... it was cool as they sing and sing.. all sorts of different songs. it's been a while since i last saw Robin Goh/Wu on stage... and i told the others... he seemed to have grown taller... then later when we were having dessert... we had another surprise from yushi.. haha!!! But i shall be a nice person and not say it out here. HEE.


Then.. there's another one coming up on saturday evening... wow.. like Christmas is REALLY COMING. haha!!! and i haven't got ready my presents yet.. =x


Ok.. shall update again soon.. so busy that i didn't have time to blog abt the previous 2 movies i watched recently.. haha. anyway.. genting in 3days... hohoho! =P

Back to CO

Wow.. i didn't realise it was this late already! hahaha...

Had a great day today.. went to many places... walked a lot.. and talked a lot. haha! But i'm still tired yea... was out for almost 12h... from mco to giant to ikea to courts and back to ikea again.... spent the whole afternoon there.. but wow... had new ideas for my room... Yeah! Think we are going to implement it... cos apparently they think my table is useless too... i proposed to remove a table and give me just a shelf to stuff all the books in... True lah... actually my er-jie's table also can bye-bye already lor.. she dun need the table anymore as well... what for right... and like that we'll have more space to move ard in the room at night or in the morning... :) At least... i found something to do in ikea.. (other than eating their meatballs..) lol!

Oh... i skipped the mco part.. lol. Ok lah... it wasn't very bad... still a little messy thou... but i guess everyone is trying their best (somehow i just want to think so)... Actually i felt quite bad cos i haven't touch my erhu for 2 weeks. while everyone else (i hope so) is so hopeful abt the comp... i think i'm of no help at all... Anyway... YEAH! Jason got the solo part... actually he deserved it.. cos i know that he put in a lot of effort and is certainly very honoured to get the part... as for me... it doesn't really matter cos i know i'm not as committed as the other ppl in mco... and hello.. how do u expect someone who nv prac (me) to play well yea? but ya... jason jiayou k!! :)))

Tmr is yet another day of prac... not really complaining.. cos i know it's really not going to be enough... not just for me.. but for everyone else... the whole co doesn't seem to be prepared enough for the comp... it's quite sad cos even when the 2 of us dun always go for prac... we could be more adaptable than some of the ppl there... but well.. we are more experienced... so couldn't blame them as well... oh wells... i think i need to sleep... haha!

Wish us all the best then... another week to go! :) (for sy audition as well). DEAD. =x

Yeah... but i'm tired.

I have like too many things to blog but just dun have the time to do it.. and now.. i can't even rmb what i wanted to blog... lol.

But ok... I finally have some time for myself after 2 weeks of all the rushes here and there. Glad that the sem has come to an end... i mean really FINALLY.. this is really a hectic sem... wait.. did i say that after every sem? lol. but yea... am really tired... and amazed by myself that i could actually wake up so early despite the super 'early' night... i mean.. morning.. lol. But anyway i'm tired now and should be gone anytime... haha.

Went to work at OUB centre on thurs... and wah... i was so impressed by the part-time auntie there... like omg... she's damn good lah... i really felt that i was just an extra there lor... cos she practically did everything herself... in the serving customer sense... but she really good at buying the customer's heart.. i think that's something i could never achieve.. or at least not in the near future. she's amazing once there's customer... and i think i learn quite a bit from her... and i saw their manager also.. who was really very nice... he has no airs at all... BUT the one thing must be that it's really quiet there... there's nothing much to do.. except to stare into the air most of the time.. haha!!! =x Err... thou it's not bad there.. i still perfer shaw (of cos lah).. lol!

Ok... i should get myself to my bed now.. eyes are closing.. =P Nitex and i'll update soon. :)

Last day of school

Oh.. had a fruitful day i would say... thou didn't buy a lot of things... but walked a lot of places.. haha!! ANd today is last day of school!!!! YEAH!! (although still got 1 assignment to hand in on fri) =x And i haven't started doing it yet... haix.

Anyway today's exam... HAIX. if i can even get 80marks for it.. i should thank god... it was BAD. there should be ppl better than me this time round.. haha... Just hope that it wun turn out too bad... should be able to secure some marks lah... luckily did well for first test... maybe can help abit.. lol. Ok.. let's not talk abt it anymore...

Went to watch a movie... then walked ard... Quite a tiring day with er... some embarrassing moments... HAHA! Seriously... i think i was half spacing out.. haha.

Ok... TIRED... and i should really start on my assignment... update when i'm completely free.. haha!

Last lap...

Yet... another week of being night owl is here... here i am.. only finished 1 lecture out of the 4 for an exam on tues.... and done a bit more for the proj... haix... Hope everything will be all right! heex. I think i just have to put in more effort for the project.. esp. when i see my groupmates so helpful in everything... i felt that i've done nothing at all... except for giving some pointers and reminders here and there.. but i think my team mates are really great cos they always come up with great ideas.. :))

Had a constructive meeting today anyway... clearer of what i have to say for the presentation... so far of all the projects... this is the first time i actually had a good rehearsal with my grp memebers... and review on each other's part and give suggestions on improvement and so on... I quite like the combi... :) Think i wanna call for a celebration after wed! :)))

Watched first 2 epi of Huan Huan Ai today... and shit... i think i'm kinda addicted to it liao.. heex. I know i'm slow!!! But i dun like and dun have time to watch the VCD/DVD can... dotx... so only can every week watch 2 epis lah... but hopefully someone will lend me the show cos hols is coming... haha!

Wah... i'm so going to sleep early tonight.. lol! i nearly didn't want to wake up for dinner just now.. it just feels so nice to be able to sleep in the day.. haven't nap at home for quite some while already... hee...

Anyway... ONE MORE WEEK!! Yeah.. i really hope that the last 3 days of school will be good.. but thinking abt our lecturer going to return us the art writing essay on monday morning... i really felt very nervous... very scared lah!!! he's really very scary to approach... =x but he zai lah.. cos return our essay a week after submission... Hopefully i didn't do too badly man...

And our project.. it's getting very much well in shape... i think we are all very happy with the concept and such... well... i'm very positive abt it too.. i think it will be a fun and happening event if it's really implemented... Await the presentation next tues...

But of cos the worst i think is the exhibition management exam... although i attended most of the lessons... i really have no idea.. BAD. have to study liao...

Accounting exam... should be at least able to pass it lah.. and hopefully this time not so careless already.. haha! Still... wish to aim for a higher grade for something that is my forte - numbers. :)))

And lastly... another essay to go... i have no idea when i have the time to do it proper... wish i could finish earlier so that i can sleep more at night.. haha!!! Really have to change my lousy procrastinating habit... heex. hopefully the future buddy system is going to be helpful.. lol.

ok... do other things liao... bye.

Arts...

If u are surprised why am i still awake.. let me tell u.. i'm surprised too! lol! And i think i gonna spend some time doing the accounts revision later... =x Actually i was really tired.. but i really could wake up in the morning! wah.. but i think my body is very tired... =P


Finally 3 essays handed in... one more essay, one presentation, and 2 exam papers to go for next week... meanwhile.. let me relax for at least till fri first can?! i'm really tired from all these...


But i guess today we all had a good time laughing.. i think everyone is so deprived of sleep.. everyone could not listen properly and thus many many jokes developed. haha.


Just tonight.... i was asking some friends to watch some theatre... and then i asked myself.. how much money am i spending every year watching this concert and watching that theatre production and whatever... and the ans is.. i dun even know! but i think quite a sum... And thought of how often am i looking for offers and discounts, free tickets and what-not... i can understand why not a large portion of singaporeans watch theatre productions regularly... esp. local products. but i know.... i have to take the initiative to ask ppl to watch them cos i'm a future arts manager myself. right? and so.. i think i have like (at least) one theatre, one CO and one dance performance to catch before the year ends... and got ready for one theatre next jan. wow. arty! hahaha...

Good thing that dreamacademy asked me to send in my CV cos they might need interns! yeah!! :))) i love theatres i tell u. (other than classical and co) hehe.

Bored...

I'm damn bored... going back to school soon... sat at Mac for more than 3hours liao... VERY TIRED. in the end slept at 5am this morning and woke up at 8.20am... later than normal... luckily just have to come school and hand in...

Wanted to d0 the next assignment... but until now only typed a very short paragraph... aiya... how to complete 2000-3000 words like that??? think have to draft out during lesson later liao... so that can type tonight.. heex

That day i was just thinking... when we reach this age... how difficult it is to have a meet up with the old friends... when everyone is busy with their own work... doing different things at different timings... so i'm really amazed at the no. of ppl turning up for the bbq last year for rss... esp. we graduated so long ago.. and it was really long since i met some of my primary school mates.. or rather.. most of them... We will always say 'meet up soon', 'let's meet up' and such similar phrases but took very long to execute the plans or never happen at all... i think this is quite familiar to every one yea? How often do we actually meet up with old friends. I think if not for the birthdays we want to celebrate with each other... i think cogang could hardly meet up too.. esp. when some of us are working while the rest are still schooling... the timings are just hard to catch...

Anyhows... i hope that this hols will be able to meet with more friends that i haven't met for some time... :)))

WAH! Look at the time!

Well... if u can't believe what u see on the time stamp... i can't either. It's a relieve that i've finally finished what i have to hand in like later! lol.

Had a rather tough time trying to get everything done... but i actually find it amazing that i can do it! I think it's simply because it's nv the times where i can drag my tutorials/hw and hand in whenever i like without getting penalised badly... =x

Anyway... i think i've done my best in doing whatever i could... if this time still doesn't turn out well... i've really got nothing anymore to say... ok.. just one more thing to say... i really can't write well... and i'm just not creative and thinking enough yea. Since i didn't consult my lecturer with my final draft... i can only leave it to fate i guess... I seriously do not know what my lecturer wants. dotx.

Anyway.. i'm really tired.. left less than 4h to sleep be4 leaving for school in the morning... and today is yet going to be another chionging night... due to the next assignment due tmr. what torture! and i forgot to reply khai regarding the extension! So maybe i shouldn't? Think i can finish? by hook or by crook... even if it's extended.. i will procrastinate.. so what's the point... might as well... finish the earlier the better. more time to rest and work and play after that.

OK... i'm getting a stiff back after sitting here for so long... stood up to walk around once in a while.. but didn't help.. =x should get some sleep. hopefully wun fall asleep during class tmr. Lol! Anyway morning just go and hand in that's all!! haix. will try to do the assignment during the loonnggg break be4 the next class ba...

All right... i'll say no more.. and nitex!! *FINALLY i can go and sleep. :)

Public Hol

HI! Happy Deepavali! :)))

Had a great holiday... it's a long time since i last shopped with my sisters... YEAH! and i bought stuff! :))) And all in black. lol! Black shoes... black pants... black long sleeves.. black polo-t.. black eyeliner... haha! But cool... half of it was paid by them.. =x

Had a hearty lunch too... dim sum at East Ocean with my 2 sis and a cousin from indonesia... (too bad jiaqi couldn't come...) wah... damn crowded lah.. dad and mum couldn't join us cos of some other trival matters. =x Ok lah.. they attended someone else's full month celebration. and brought back some goodies too.. Anyway... we had a good time at east ocean.. YUM! we waited for half an hour be4 getting a table even thou sis booked ytd lor... how can not enjoy right. afterall it's still our favourite dim sum place.. and u have no idea how much i wanted to go eat whenever i go shaw centre for work... lol. it just feels like a wish granted. haha!!!

BUT well.... after all these... it's really time to set down to work on my assignments... 2 to be handed in on monday... and 1 on tues... and i've started NONE! =x luckily i've done some research for the local artist i'm doing on... and the other one is personal opinion... and last one... the most tough one.. i think i need more time for that. =x so the other posts for occasions... and omg HK camp. have to wait. heex.

OK... dinner done... so back to work... byebye.

StarSearch 2007 Finals

In class now... pretty boring cos i've got nothing to show my lecturer.. which was real bad cos my last draft was totally out of point and he was expecting something from me this week. =x but i promised that i will hand in tmr... haix!

But the weekend was pretty well-spent... but i think i deserve the cost of seeing the doctor... cos i was out of my house for the whole sat... like woodlands in the morning and nus in the afternoon... which was in the end quite enjoyable... thou not many went out for dinner that night.. cos most of them are in the concert com.. dotx! So only left eric, huiyan, zhenqiang, sunjing and me. but we still had a good time laughing... well... at least i think so... haha..

But sunday was bad... i woke up still feeling sick... so went to see the doc. and it cos me a huge sum of $45!! So ex lah... haix... and i slept thru the afternoon after the medicine... until dinner time.. haha!

Then time to watch StarSearch 2007 Finals.... Sat thru the whole show... wah... i think they quite creative this year... so put it in an award ceremony situation... but i think the Japanese Fireman thing round is really like crap lah.... i told my sis that it's like they are training them for charity shows lor... and the host thought so too.. lol.

And good thing Chen Bang Jun emerged as champion!! thou he didn't get the most popular award.. haha... actually i've seen a lot of negative comments abt him but i'm still standing firm on my ground... hope he will do well in the circle. However, it was quite a pity that yah hwee didn't get into top 3... i think the last round she didn't do well... and for the runner ups.. they really catch up with the last round. and thus the results. cos after all, yang wei lie wasn't top 3 for most of the first 3 rounds. OK. doesn't matter. CBJ is the champion! :) [And khai told me that cbj is his friend! argh! *jealous]

Ok lah... i'm not that real sort of going crazy over these people... usually i just admire them lah.. =P and will be thinking how nice if i can really know them. and be proud that i know them. hahaha! =x Anyhow thinking only lah! now.. LESSONS! and ASSIGNMENTS!

I wonder how am i going to finish all the assignments.. wish myself good luck.. lol!!!

Halloween 2007 - Part 1

DISCLAIMER: IF YOU HAVE A WEAK HEART OR IS PREGNANT, PLS RECONSIDER BEFORE READING ON. I WILL NOT BEAR ANY RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU WHILE READING AND SEEING THE FOLLOWING CONTENT. THANK YOU.

Arts Management Level2 2007 had our very own halloween party on 1st Nov at The Chevrons Jurong. I went in to look for the other classmates ard 8... and started my journey to become who i am... i wasn't quite sure what to do in sequence thus explains my long duration to get ready. but the outcome was good nonetheless. and i think the wig was really the main reason. Just look at this...


Just before we set off for the night's fun.. (and sweat for me).

Now... look at my classmates.. lol.


Crazy belly dancer and CRAZY businessman.


Crazy business (look at his boxers. haha), the witch and the devil. :)


The bride ghost and the witch.. (white and black)


Some of the crazy lot...

Now u get the idea... but i'm really tired.. and i need more photos... Nitex first. lol. cannot tahan liao... hopefully tmr will be better! :)

BAD day..

WAh.. damn tired and sick now... i can't believe that i actually fell asleep during both work days. how bad is that... firstly cos very few ppl these 2 days... eh... i dunno why... but i thought it was becos i was there... cos last fri when i was there... it was really BAD... cos we had $0 luggage sales... VERY BAD... but sales was good at isetan on sat then... haha. jinxed.

Anyway... it was a BAD day... cos i woke up with a BAD sore throat... and sneezing all the way thru the morning... i thought it got better when i got to work... BUT it didn't actually... and it got worse when i got home just now... and i just didn't know how... but now my nose is like blocked... i dunno how am i going to survive tmr.... AND weird... my ankle is hurting like i've sprained it... but i didn't rmb any incident... OH! i was chasing the bus this morning and i think i stepped too hard once. omg. my memory u see... but i guess it's not as bad when i can't even breathe properly... Dotx.

Ok... this is just a rough update... look out for my spooky entry with photos soon. I think the party was really great and i really get to talk to more of my classmates... I enjoyed myself... as much as i would like to stay over... i think sometimes when things ended this way... there's more to think of the next time... But i want to say... my classmates are just fun. :) I'm glad i was there and i actually made an effort to get those stuff and like really dress up. Hope to party with them again. :))

No more attachments...

PHEW! finally the hectic life is half over... actually time really passes quite fast... it's only less than a month to the end of this sem... everything just seems like ytd...

Anyway ytd was really a hectic day... but at the same time rather enjoyable.. Did the usual merchanising.. super tiring and nerve breaking... cos just too many ppl coming at the same time... all the money exchange... and the lack of prog booklets in hands... makes me nervous... lol! but phew.. it was all over... and lastly... went to the sun tent for once. it was really quite nice... until i fell off the broken chair... dotx. damn embarrassing... but well... it was nothing big lah... had a few glasses of wine... some food... chatted.. a few photos and cabbed back at 12am. and had a good night sleep with the rain... without much worries after all... :) But worries are of cos coming soon... the report/reflective journal.. HAIX.

This weekend will be another busy one... work and co and meetings... and of cos... our class halloween party. Spent a lot of effort and Money to prepare for it... i think i still need some make up stuff... maybe tmr for some last min after work... =x but first time i'm going to a costume party... hopefully it turn out well! :) and hopefully taking many pictures. heex.

Got to check our accounts test paper today.. and guess what? I didn't get my 100marks goal cos of ONE number that i wrote wrongly... duh... i checked the paper over and over a few times yet i fail to realise it... luckily i didn't carry the mistake to other parts of the paper... THUS. i was ONE mark away from that goal.. DOTX. I was quite pissed with that silly mistake cos it was so obvious! but well... how could i be harping on that ONE mark rather than the other 99? At least it's helping me a bit for the mod as to not to do soo badly in the end.. in case i can't do well in other topics. haha! but i guess my other classmates did quite well too... hopefully! :))

Ok! Celebrate everyone! be4 we start to pia and chiong after that for all the researches, assignments, projects, exams and what not. SCHOOL. Getting there soon i guess... i just need to endure a bit more. :) Nitex ppl.

PS: talk abt my attachment another day. =P

忍. 退

人人都说：‘忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空’。

为什么他们没有说要忍多久、退多少？对什么人要忍，对什么人不需要忍？什么时候应该退，什么时候应该站稳自己的立场？

Then think... are u the one always giving ways or are u the one who always requires other ppl to give way to u?

Super powers ans..

I think at esplanade is like so much better... at least i know what i'm doing... ya.. and it's more fun... and something i like to do more... at least more that distributing... haha!

Anyway... as promised all along... i was supposed to say what kind of super powers do i wish to possess... thou only one person actually ans my qns... which is pathetic... but thanks hg for being so sporty to ans it.. haha!

From very long ago... i've been thinking... how nice if i have the ability to read other ppl's mind when i need to.. and i think i have a little talent doing that... just that i dunno how accurate it is... i think i'm quite good at observing ppl in the sense of their feelings towards another person... whether they like each other or not... ('like' in this context refers to the normal friends like/dislike sense).. ok. sometimes the special kind.. however, i'm rather bad at observing other ppl towards me... esp. when it comes to the love kind. seriously.. think i'm rather blockhead abt that... and of cos... another good point of having such ability/power is that i can know what they are thinking, how they feel, and i wun approach them at the wrong time.. esp. when that person already dislike me in the first place... so usually i'll just keep a distance from ppl whom i know have no intention of serious befriend... i think u all know what i mean lah...

Then after watching 'Ten Brothers (十兄弟)'.. i went thinking again.. do i want to possess any of their power... i.e. Super Eyes, Super Ears, Super Strength, Super Skin, Super Wings, Super Head, Super Legs, Super Burrow, Super Mouth, Super Tears... in the end... if really want to choose... really difficult... cos after all.. humans... will always want the best, and want everything... so it's rather impossible to just choose one after all lah... haha... Why not u all tell me what would u like to possess out of these 10?

After all.. these are all just wild imagination.. maybe in my dreams yea... haha... and reality is.. i'm just a normal person who is impossible to possess any power.. so just take it as a fun thing yea.. :)

Halfway there..

OH! another tired day... actually to think huh.. the fest is already half gone! hope the whole thing will be over soon... actually this is really a very busy sem... although doesn't look like it on the surface. haha! eh... dun talk abt the 3-day week lah... last time also same what... but this sem like more accomplished... think cos i'm working... last time really slack for 4 days... and nothing done at all.. now at least only slack 2 days.. hahaha! =x

Anyway... another assignment due next tues... good luck to me man... guess i'll have to burn night oil then again. =x all for procrastinating. =P but for visual arts history assignment i chose a easier route for me... in some way or another... first.. i have materials at home.. then i have a direct contact with someone related to the artist.. afterall... the artist passed away a few years ago..

I think... i'm back to start playing audition again. =x when got time and bored lah.. if too long nv practise hor... will depreciate one leh... haha!! so once in a while lah.... heex.

Finally...

Of cos.. i've realised that this is not the best channel for public complaints... and i realised i have better ways to do it.. heex. so shouldn't talk abt it anymore...

Anyway... finally gotten to be attached to the festival... although we are doing very mild jobs as compared to the other classmates... we are grateful to have something to do... and at least not leaving us in a great state of panic... and i think we bound to learn something from these little jobs... be it good or bad... and could be useful to future when we do festivals ourselves. it's really better than nothing. and the ppl are so far being very nice. :)

Well... i have to thank the classmates who were concerned abt this matter as much as i am... knowing our situation.. asking ard for us and speaking up for us in some way or another... i really appreciate it.. and i choose to believe that they are real. thanks very much. becos it's so discreet, if we didn't ask ard to clarify some of our doubts.. they actually didn't know what has the festival and our own lect has got us into.. and i seriously doubt my lect's words from then on. i was just plain disappointed by how it was handled. at the very least, the other lect fought for our rights for the last attachment.. and i think we were all grateful for that.

The difference between the 2 attachments is that the 1st one was done very openly, everyone knows what everyone else is doing, and although the organisers were somehow quite unorganised at some times.. they gave EVERYONE very clear schedules at the very first day of the event. and the organisers came to do a mass briefing thus clearing doubts here and there in everyone's presence, and anyone who was left out could voice out at the very moment. but for this current one, as they informed ppl in different batches, every grp got their briefing separately (probably due to the difference in job scope), everyone started on different days, everyone have different in-charge and stuff like that... and very clearly... it wasn't as 'fair' as what our lect had told us. If we had gone for that lesson this morning, i guess our lect might have no where to stand.. and they wouldn't be able to end the class 1h earlier. I think there's just too many 'political' issues in this whole matter that in the end, nothing can resolve it, cos biasness is a very personal thing.

Oopx.. did i complain? haha... i was merely comparing... thus pls be careful of ur own future attachments. haha. I think even though it's very tiring to do the job that was allocated today... i feel fulfilled getting to do something... if not i just feel so outcasted when everyone else is talking abt the festival since it's the on-going thing... ANYWAY... the festival events are WAY too expensive.. i think u can guess what's the fest. we are attached to...

Get to know urself better...

Got the link from someone's blog earlier... but didn't post.. so anyway... here it is.. and click HERE to do it urself

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.


The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.


Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.


The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?


Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.


The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.


How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.


What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.


Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

SLACK.

I practically did nothing for the whole weekend. haix. why? cos i had nothing to do for the festival while the others are busy at esplanade or some other places. dotx. Some say that it's a good thing cos i can slack at home. true... but it's really painful to see all ur friends involved and you know nothing abt it at all. but thanks cw for updating me a bit this morning.

Maybe it's really a blessing in disguise... thou i'm very unhappy abt it... i had no worries slacking at home for the whole day. Actually still have school work to do... but am really lazy... but i think later no matter what still will produce something for him tmr lah. it's really a sucky assignment but well... still have to do it.

Dunno since when... watching tv is like my hobby.. i nv used to like watching tv all day maybe 2 years ago... i rather i go online and hog the comp for the whole night... but i'm watching tv on a very routine basis.. i could wake up at 9am and start watching tv till erm... the whole morning and aftn and i have a timetable to watch what at what time. hee! Anyway... watching star search now lah... i like S5! chen bang jun. he's good.. nice smile, nice build, good-looking.. and i think he will win!!! hahaha.

I'm really sian lah... (and bu shuang also). hmm... thus i'm not going to care and i'm going to work next week! bleahx! we'll see yea.. i really want to know our lecturer's reaction. And i took back all my words earlier abt looking forward to sun fest attachment... no matter what we are going to be assigned on this very last min basis and how good/bad it is. i dun give a damn cos that's the attitude they gave us too. how ridiculous it is when they tell u that they really dunno where to slot u when supposedly we were told that everyone has been already given a job. i dun believe it. Even when we are not paid.. that is not the way to treat us... i urge the school to choose the IBL company more carefully in future. ok.. not like they will see this... but seriously i feel very very mistreated through this incident... not only me but also other 4friends.

Argh... i really dun want to make this place full of the complaints in my life... but why must this have to happen to me? i dun blame my other classmates even it's an unfair thing... cos they probably didn't know as well... but think of it.. given my classical music background.. if i'm not qualified for the job... i dunno who is. not trying to show off my grade8 cert here.. the fact is probably none of them know as well.. and since most of the classmates came are more into visual arts/fine arts. probably very few of them are musicians or even part-time musicians. just feeling very unjust that's all.

I promise not to complain abt this matter again... probably complain abt other things. haha. Did i mention my accounts test last fri? cw commented to her bf that i'm aiming for 100marks.. Well.. I am! And hopefully i can get at least a 90.. cos it's only the basics and if i can't do well.... what abt the rest? so.. let's wait.

i think i should have a label call 'complaints' as well.. hahaha.

TIRED.

Haix.. dun feel like complaining anymore even though the situation haven't improve yet. I can't believe that even till the day of the start of the whole festival... we still dunno what we are supposed to do.. And seriously, the words and the way my lecturer puts it in the last email just shows how we are the 'left overs'.. and it seems hard to get a position for us. I'd rather not do it. ARGH. Whatever. But i can just say that they disrupted my life. every extra school activity is doing that.

Anyway... just finished studying for the accounts test tmr.. after the 15min nap just now... dun seem to be too tired now... but will go and sleep after this lah... hopefully test LATER will not be too bad lah.... since maths is usually my forte... i should thrive to do well in this. BUT. just becos of the test tmr.. i will have $50+ less to spend next month. haix. but well.. for the sake of my results. Can somebody tell me why are we obliged to do everything just for results? (including the attachments)

Other than these... I think i enjoyed myself in the evening thou there was absolutely no one talking to me throughout the time in the cinema... i hoped i was more sociable... =x But the films were really cool and some really reflects a lot on our lives. So anyway congrats to a fellow nyjcian who was one of the 3 in the champion grp. *prouds :) [Will talk abt the event more when got time]

Work was not bad too... got a visitor in the afternoon... 'dearest' mike. lol! These bunch of ppl are just out to bully me... even thou he's one year younger. i can't believe it. But managed to exchange some stupid and some normal conversations. And while we talked abt some ppl who had left the company.. kinda remind me of last time... but what passed has passed... things are all different now... and i'm so called in a safer zone. and ppl i know are just leaving one by one (not the part-times). if money is not impt, perhaps none of these will happen. haha. wistful thinking again. Even i think that money is impt. haha.

Ok... Nitex. OMG. Consecutively 3 days sleeping at 3+am. and waking up at ard 8am for the previous 2 days... and i think i will wake up ard that time again in the morning to just do a quick scan through again. to refresh memory. haix. students nowadays.

ARGH.

The quote of the day: "Everybody makes a difference".
Personally, I want to make a bigger difference than the one i'm arranged to make.

Of cos.. i have heard of this phrase long long time ago... but when u heard it in the wrong context... it didn't really feel good. Seriously, anyone in the same plight would have thought so too.. of cos... it is my own deduction... but i must have some grounds in saying so...

Firstly... no matter what kind of job we are in for... isn't it only basic courtesy to even let us know before hand... for goodness sake it's only 2 days before the start of the festival and these few of us do not even know what positions we are in. At least let us know what to expect. no emails, no phonecalls, no schedules, no nothing! I dun think it's nice to keep us in such suspense (esp. if it's bad one) for so long while seeing everyone else having themselves involved nicely to the event. At least for the previous one we were told much before hand even though the jobs are not much liked. And there was ample time to plan anything else ahead. Unlike this.. so last min! Oops.. i'm sorry but it's only last min for a few ppl..

There must be a reason behind everything.. of cos when she says the quote of the day as first mentioned... she could have meant no harm or there could be an underlying msg in it... i do not know... i'll give a both sides explanation... Of cos the consoling part is that everyone.. no matter how easy or how lowly the job is... everyone is equally important. and all of us will learn something out of it.. Yes. I agree. then it could mean that it's really true that there are just some jobs that obviously too little to be attached to.. Thanks for giving examples... but i think they didn't help at all. It just reflects how she thinks that the position is very minute too. Isn't it?

Fairness? Is there even such a thing at all... there's contradiction everywhere! Yes, i agree that those who really sent in a research ppl on whichever artist deserve who they got... thou i didn't managed to do a full research... I did express my area of interest too! The fact that she pointed out that some of them were put into certain areas cos she already knew their interest already show that there isn't anything she call it 'fairness'. Then why am i not given a chance at all? Tell me abt choosing randomly... my foot!

It's not that i dun want to believe that my most prob job is not impt... but think... if u ask anyone else to give up their current position for this... they would most prob think u are mad... but i'm sure everyone in the same section as me would rather give our job up for something else.

But whatever it is... no matter how much i think and how upset i am abt it... it is already a matter of fact which i can't change. I wasn't hopeful for any good news actually. If something is going to make me happy, tell me that i'm excused for the whole thing. i'd be more happy.

Nv been so looking forward to something and in the end gotten so disappointed abt it... and i actually hid my emotions in front of everyone. thanks but dun tag or talk to me regarding anything in this entry... nothing helps at the moment.

SAMMI CHENG rocks.

Omg... have been feeling so tired these few days.. or ever since the attachment.. i sleep at the latest 1+am feeling super duper tired... and spent the weekend afternoon sleeping too. dotx. But i guess it's back to proper business now..

I think a few of us were all confused why haven't we gotten our positions for the next attachment yet... i wasn't much suspicious cos i thought most of us haven't... eventually it was not until of cos a friend told me something on the negative side... and i was influenced by his thinking... at first i was thinking that he's just being over sensitive.. but after all... i would still think.. why is it so? there's only a few of us left... no news and whatever. So i couldn't help but start thinking why did it become this way... as most of us anticipate this attachment much more than the previous one.... what has happened had more or less lowered my moral anyhow. thus... i'm less excited towards the attachment and whatever unless something good comes my way.

On a lighter note.. I was really delighted to have attended SAMMI CHENG's concert last night! Yeah yeah... went with my cousin who claimed to like her.. haha. anyway it was real cool.. we were high right from the start of the concert... until she started telling her story for the period she wasn't ard and singing a few slow songs... but how amazing it was to see the whole place so quiet while she narrated her story... eh.. cos only understood part of it... my canto still not good lah... can only understand the main idea but details... i dunno!! but i was better than jiaqi lah. dotx. she couldn't understand a thing. haha! so i translated whatever i could understand... lol.

Then then... why she nv sing more of her chinese classic numbers!??! and what happened to all the familiar tv series songs?! WHY??? i was waiting for them lah. So in the end other than the songs she sang with Yanzi - the guest artist for the concert... she only sang ONE other chinese song... which was 出界... haix. So on our way out... the 2 of us were like singing some of her chinese songs on our own... lol.

I think the highest point of the concert was when she started the medley of her fast dance numbers including 小心女人，canto version of 眉飞色舞，独一无二，非男非女... and so on... er.. some of the songs i'm unfamiliar with cos it wasn't much chance to listen to her canto songs.... well.. singapore's restriction that is... what could we do?! HUH?!

NONETHELESS... i enjoyed the concert. so much so that i think i'm starting to listening to her songs again... there was a period i kept on listening to her albums... there was a time i stopped. and now i'm going to do so again. Hohoho! SHE ROCKS!!!! :)))

Thus... hereby i would really like to thank YES933fm for giving me this precious chance to see Sammi live on stage... i just have to lend my voice for a while on air and some time to travel to mediacorp to get the tix. THANK YOU! ANd pls... tell me that u all are giving out Amei's concert tix too! =P

PS: i'mtoo lazy to upload any photos. eh.. when i have time and mood. now.. bear with those words. or simply connect urself to cruzteng's blog for some pictures... haha.

Unfocused...

Haix... I'm starting to feel tired of everything... having headache at work today... it was rather boring to be at shaw cos there's really nothing much to so... but the good thing is... i have a lot of freedom there... can do my own stuff there... thou in the end i din really do my reflective journal after knowing that it's due only on 30th... but i could do a lot of something else to curb the boredness there... plus.. had a few games of yahoo pool. haha!


Anyway... deadlines are really coming and i really dunno if i can fulfil them lah... and i'm really scared cos there are just so many things undone... and so many other stuff to do too! And now my friend is asking me to go shanghai with her over a weekend!!! omg. I want to go lah... but what abt my school? and i'm supposed to go to the Class Halloween party rmb? Oh... i haven't said anything abt it yet... so what am i supposed to do? HAIX.

I think i'm too unorganised in my thoughts lately... actually i have so many things in my mind but i just dunno how to pen them down properly... The coming week will be yet another hectic one... I hope good news is really coming to me soon...

Super powers?

Anyway... my qns previously wasn't ans and someone says that he can't find the qns.. so i shall repost it.....

I think this bit is going to be quite off... but i was just thinking.. (actually
i thought for a long time already)... if u are given a choice of magical power [edit]aka super powers[/edit] to possess... what would you choose? Eg. fly, go through the walls, teleport, greatest strength.. err.. whatever u can think of lah. JUST ONE. What would you MOST like to possess? I have an ans for my own... but i'll reveal it the next time cos i think it's going to be quite a lengthy one. haha.. :)

Copied directly from the last para of 3rd oct post. :)

400th post: end of attachment 1

Wow... this is my 400th post... i think these 100 posts were achieved in a rather short time. as compared to the past. haha. and it marks the end of my first 6-day attachment too! :)))

Ok... I think we should all look at this attachment from a different perspective. Instead of thinking of how bad the organisers were, how bad their attitude were, how lousy were their organisational skills, how low were our pay, how we have to do all sorts of stuff, how some ppl were just so irresposible (both organisers and crew)... whatever and whatever... ok.. we should think of these.. but not in the way of just complaining and complaining... instead... think this way. If we dun like what they are doing.. we make sure that we dun make any of those mistakes when it's our turn in future.

Yes... the event might be a success... but i dun think the credits just go to the fair organisers... and reason for the fair to expand every year is not becos the galleries like working with the organisers as well... i believe if there's other choices (other comtemp art fairs)... they would have left this one... but there's no other choices! there's only one and the biggest comtemp art fair in asia. Ya.. so much for the name... and after all... there were galleries that feedback to us abt their unhappiness towards the organisers. and of cos we see the attitudes ourselves. I can't believe the fact some ppl just suckup to foreign galleries and treat local ones like shit. i hope i interpreted the person's words and tone wrongly. but i doubt so. cos the very first reaction that my friend had when we heard that person saying that was the same.

Sorry for all these unclear stuff here... can't reveal all the names... in case there's tracking down. (the power of google). Anyway... it's just like another womad that started some bitching moments abt some ppl out there. and yea.. i bitch too! erm. was unhappy with particular ppl ever since dunno when lah. but the attachment just made things worst. it's super obvious cos once everyone's behind.. the bitching starts.

Anyway... u can say i'm stupid or silly... but i didn't feel anything offensive towards myself throughout the whole 6 days. The fact that my friends pointed out that i was treated rudely made me surprised! cos i didn't felt so. even after they mentioned. i guess i just didn't take all those remarks seriously. and i seriously think that i'm that kind of person who would try to get out of trouble by smiling the matter off.. or just keep quiet.

Anyhows.. i would like to thank the organisation for deciding to increase our pay by $10 per day. thou it's still not a lot... it's enough to cover my expenses for that few days plus the 2bags i bought at samsonite fair. haha! and i think there's still a bit of leftovers. :) Thankfully. erm. wondering if i should return the money to dad. since he paid for the bags first.

HAix... really tired. shall continue tmr. bye.

Complains... =X

I'm pretty amazed that after the 4th day... u see lesser and lesser ppl appearing at the place... and u still see me sitting in front of the comp typing this after the long 10h... The only thing i could say was... the employer/organiser just made everything worst. They were super unhelpful... just give u ans like 'i dunno', 'dun ask me', 'just tell them (blah blah blah)...', 'go and ask (another person)', and 'this is none of our business'. DOTX. and a lot more lah...

The first 2 days were really terrible... and there were many things that screwed up... and they still think that it's not their problem... and thus on the 2nd day aka gala opening night... we had to do a lot of lousy job like washing cups for the lounges... why do we have to do that i also dunno... but from that day onwards, apparently everyday there's a grp of ppl that start washing dishes at a certain time in the evening... and i still do not understand why.

Then many many ppl just go missing without letting ppl know where they went and stuff... take long long long breaks now and then... ok... i do take some time off with caiwen and rest. but at least we done something! i seriously dunno what the other ppl have been doing.

It's how weird even after the tasks were already allocated properly.. the organiser can just pull ppl out to do something else at any time of the day. somehow i think that they should just give us a better scope of the timings cos every now and then there ought to be some manpower problem here and there... then they start finding ppl to cover up and mess up the whole schedule...

But these 2 days weren't that bad... i tried many roles thru the day... be busy the whole day.... but that's probably the reason why the time seems to pass by very fast for today. and at the end of the day... there were some returns that the few of us shared together. :)

Anyway i'm really tired and my eyes are closing already. i'll try to update again.. ANYWAY. 2 more days! YEAH!!! :))) Can't wait for monday to come and party our heads off even if there's none organised for us. lol!

5 more days to go!

Ya.. i think i blog quite regularly also.. haha! Well... i've got nothing else to do at the moment what. haha.

I think today was a bad start for me cos i was late.. dotx. for less than 5min lah. but in their policy late for 1min also late. so ya.. tmr i will TRY to get there as early as possible. lol! =P Anyways... it's not really that bad lah.. just that really tiring... and we dun really have anything to do for the day since not all of us are of good help to the gallery owners/exhibitors. But hopefully the following days wouldn't be too bad. Cos after all we have to write reflective learning journal for the attachment.

Sorry huh... but can i complain again?! why are we paid SOOOO LITTLE? there's another grp of ppl whom they were paid much more than us lah. dotx. it's like... even if we are obliged to work for them... it doesn't mean that they should exploit us right? Afterall this kind of things are not secrets... everyone knows once we get there! so why are we treated in a so unfair manner? Just becos they claimed that they are doing us a favour by giving us a job attachment? And so it's ok for us to be exploited? I hope we will have better luck the next time... or rather... over the next few days first. thanks.

On a lighter note... the first day have passed! 5more days! lol. anyway towards the end of the day caiwen and i got to run more errands for the heads... i think cos we were seen walking ard and doing nothing too much. haha. so we went out twice to get stuff for them... the 2nd was really tiring cos we do not have much time left and we had to go all the way to carrefour... and then... she haven't return me the extra i paid. ok... she said that we should work within budget.. we did call her.. but she didn't pick up... so we called the even more senior person and he didn't say anything! ok.. not like she's not going to return me lah... haha. And finally! the first time we heard him praise someone... and that's us! haha... for something minor lah.

Ok.. that's all for day 1... i'm really tired afterall... now i got tight leg muscles... need more relaxation... and sleep. NITEx! :)))

side note: YEAH! playing erhu for genting!! lol. :)

Happiness triumph over unhappiness?

Is it like what the title suggest? Well.. read on and decide for me. haha.

WOO! Went to Kbox ytd with Via, er-jie and her bf... heex. long time nv sing? erm... last time was with the royal family lah. abt a month ago. lol. Anyways.. enjoyed. sang some high songs. And i really like LeeHom's new album.. (though not very new already. haha) But the songs are cool... esp. 改变自己.. singing that in k is really wow! :) So yea.. relaxation be4 the hard work comes. Well.. in less than 11hrs' time. HAIX. no further explanation needed. Anyway. i'll TRY to enjoy it with my classmates yea...

OH! I did something ytd afternoon which i think i was so brave.. and lucky too.. lol! I won 2 tickets to Sammi Cheng's concert on 13 Oct. lol! HOw nice. I actually called into YES 933fm to get the tickets lah. hahaha... I was er... super excited when the line got thru. And i didn't expect myself doing this lah... Anyhows... Yeah! i get to watch the concert! :))) so happy. Think i need to gan chang again... cos i already bought tickets to LASALLE's dance item for dan:s festival... to do my assignment... at first i was still thinking whether to buy the 13th one or the 14th one. cos that time i was already thinking what if i'm going for the sammi's concert? (although i really dun have the extra cash to buy the tix) but i thought if i watch the earlier one... i have more time to do it mah. so i bought the 13th one lah... BUT luckily the dance performance is at 6pm and last for only an hour. so ya.. i'll still be able to make it to SIS anyhow. :)

So much so for the excitement. i'll be looking forward to that day... but first.. i guess i'll be looking forward to the end of the attachment. somehow. i think most of the class dreads the attachment. we all rather we have this week's rest and go back to school for normal lessons next week. but do we even have a choice? well. the ans is clearly 'no'. so might as well just accept the fate.

I think this bit is going to be quite off... but i was just thinking.. (actually i thought for a long time already)... if u are given a choice of magical power to possess... what would you choose? Eg. fly, go through the walls, teleport, greatest strength.. err.. whatever u can think of lah. JUST ONE. What would you MOST like to possess? I have an ans for my own... but i'll reveal it the next time cos i think it's going to be quite a lengthy one. haha.. :)

Add-ons to stitch collection :)

Apparently... i slacked away the WHOLE sunday. really slack. first i woke up ard 11.30am. And no one was ard by then... so i started with watching tv.... and more tv watching... and watched more tv lol. i spent the day nowhere else but on beds. mine and my parents'. lol. Cos nobody was at home with me till 6pm when er-jie finally called and say she's on the way home in a cab. ya. FINALLY. My gifts! heex.

Thanks to my er-jie for expanding my Stitch collection! :))) A Stitch doll keychain from Disneyland in Halloween costume.. A stitch organiser... No need to buy organiser next year liao... lol. and a stitch keychain in a capsule! And a shirt from hard rock cafe. YEAH. I love my sis although she didn't give the burberry bag to me. lol. but well. i'm contented! Heex.

Ya. so there goes my sunday... spent rotting ard and stuff... only TRYING to do some research.. and my search page is hang now.. so i have to faster finish typing so that i can research the explorer... dotx.

Ok.. actually nothing else... going to watch tv.. and do my work at the same time. OOPS. =x bye.

Quite random stuff...

Yeah! Er-jie coming back from Japan tmr! And she said she bought things for me! hohoho. :)

Didn't really do anything today except to sleep and watch tv and eat and online. i mean seriously nothing else. Ok... i ought to do some research later.. 2 researches to be exact.

Oh. did i mention that from mon onwards supposedly is our one week break from school... and most unfortunately the whole class have to be attached to an event for 6 days from wed to mon. and the other 2 days... class B (my class) has to return to school for some make-up class for a mod which the other class is not taking yet. dotx! So there goes the WHOLE one week. haix! What a break... worst than normal school days.. and a freaking $20 allowance for working 10h a day. how abt that. i hope i haven't complain abt this anymore. even so. i want to still complain again! argh. so unhappy lah. and i think that we weren't treated with any kind of respect as well.. as i think i mentioned before. underpaid and overwork.. whatever!

Think i've been buying a lot of albums... and thinking of buying somemore. lol. Latest 2 to the collection was A-mei's Star and Taiwan Variety Show Happy Sunday's 校园歌喉战 compilation of 10 of the contestants... inside got a few fav competitors for the competition. :) Then there was Club do Balanco's album i got from WOMAD.. before that was LeeHom's 改变自己 and POC: At World's End OST. Then even before that was JJ's 西界 lah... Omg. my colleague asked me why did i spend so much money buying albums... then i was thinking lah... (i didn't ans him). And i guess it was one of JJ's song 盗 (编号89757 album) that influenced my thinking. perhaps be4 that i was still immersed in getting my hands on anything that saves me money. but after that i think properly be4 i buy any albums and make sure i'm buying the genuine one. A good deed after all.. (other than dl-ing 1 or 2 from some websites. lol) =x

Oh.. would like to comment on A-mei's album packaging... wah.. really nice lah.. the moment the box slide out from the outer cover... beautiful.. :) The lyrics booklet too.. although there were other ppl that used the plastic cover concept for the lyrics book too.. but not as well done! I like the design and all... Thanks for putting so much effort in making us buyers happy. haha!

Thanks to wenwei.. i started playing online pool again.. dotx. gonna try if other yahoo games work easily cos there were some unpleasant changes which made me stop playing yahoo games. in fact the site didn't even allow me to load the games properly.. not to say play. then i wonder when will i start playing audition again. lol...

Eh... i think nothing liao... hw and everything piling up. All the best to me. haha. and my classmates.

赶场 Saturday. lol.

OK lah. i update ok! zhiwen says update after i get home... so... 'after i get home'! =X Haha. ok. lame. BUT i'm tired liao! =P

Eh... i think today very fun! haha... work was slack as usual... brought my lappy there so that can use to do some research... and i did ok! i wasn't just playing facebook hor.. (although most of the time i was) lol! then then... i think uncle ronnie and ww are trying to make me grow fat again! Argh. keep buying food lah. but both days i didn't finish the noodles. first was spicy. second was i had breakfast ard 9.30am and ask me to eat noodles at 11.30am?! dotx. then third was still spicy. dotx. for the times/days i were there... there isn't a single time i had to deal with spicy lunch. but well... i have to cos after all i didn't pay for any of them. not a single time when uncle is ard. so i felt so bad to complain lah. as long as i can take it then ok lah. Overall... working at shaw centre is still much better thou sales not that good... but i dun mind working there lah. :)

Then went over to raffles place for the urban clap thing we were supposed to attend with the class... then erm... by the time i reach there... they were all ready to leave! omg. i just wasted my time and energy and whatever lah. dotx. but managed to chit chat and laugh with some of my classmates be4 i left for another meeting up and concert.

SCO pre-tour concert. half fun half sian. is it becos this isn't a priced concert so it means that they can treat it like a rehearsal? But i think Mr Lee was quite good for his solo. :) And we kept shifting place.. or rather... me! dotx. so in the end i was sitting with some sy ppl and my da-jie and dad. And they played Tian Wang!!!!! OMG!! I so miss that song lah... i think xunqi and others who were in syco'05 would agree with me. FAV song of all. we were all reciting the poem.. but zhiwen lah.. that year haven't join yet... dunno anything. dotx! so i was reciting along beside her. lol. Dun feel like commenting other songs liao. And and... i was soo smart! i guessed that their encore would be hua hao yue yuan (花好月圆)... and it's true! It was the last of their 3 encore pieces. THREE! zai huh. I rmb the bei jing yi ye (北京一夜) at Botanic garden last year. so cool lah. we were laughing so much that the ppl in front turned and looked at us. see lah! ur fault. haha.

After concert walked to Esplanade from SCH.. then walked to marina mac in the end.. sat down for a while and the guys decided to go catch the last train. so they chiong all the way... while the girls decided to take bus. lol. So... bus-ed with zhiwen.. actually wanted to take all the way.. but then so tired. and lazy to walk from bedok int back. so i dropped and took a cab back. haha! =x. OH zhiwen. i think i know when and why we took bus tgt the last time. It was after last year's Beautiful Sunday!! Yea.. i have good memory! (minus that time i can't rmb where i saw u at suntec) hahahaha. =P

Wah... i really look forward to the chalet lah... i think we will all just talk and talk and talk non stop and laugh and laugh and laugh non stop also. lol. Anyway. before Genting trip and after exams pls! Zixin and jessly and sylvia also going to genting. so avoid those dates!! HEEx.

Sorry zhiwen but i've got to say this.. the ending joke of the day was... I asked zhiwen how old does my father looks like... and her ans was.................. 'he looks like a father.' DOTX! if u even consider that an ans to the qns. dotxxx... crap lah.

Essay rush starting.

Haven't been blogging properly... and these few days been working on my history of music essay... And i just finished everything. er.. deadline is today lah.. so die die also have to complete. and luckily i did~! Haix. i think it's going to be the same situation for the rest of the components as well... cos i haven't watched any dance performance yet! OMG. If i can only watch the Lasalle performance for dan:s fest. i would only have less than 3days to complete the assignment. omg. how am i going to die man. UNLESS... i forgo the SCO pre-tour concert this fri and go to the nus one. But i certainly do not want to~! ARGH. HOW? at this point of time.. i have no idea at all. cos i'm really very tired already.

Plus this sem have quite a no. of modules have written assignment... so.. all the best! haix.

Anyway... er-jie is in Japan for vacation now... dotx. coming back on sunday i think. And mum is going to jakarta with my aunt-in-law, uncle and grandaunt.. for a week too. ok.. it means more freedom. Of cos. I HAVE to enjoy before the 3rd comes which marks the start of torture. underpaying and overworking. unfair isn't it. and so much for their rules. whatever. nothing was more annoyed that the event has to be during the same period as my part time close door sales. dotx. i was super angry when i knew abt it. like why should i be doing something that i feel is not going to be beneficial to me and not doing something i would enjoy more? Eventually i'm really think that our course is too mixed up of everything. and we are forced to take every module even if it doesn't appeal to me. cos i'm nv interested in visual arts and still not insterested. but so far the modules that we took... most of them were abt VA. i'm pissed.

And tired. time to sleep. no worries for tonight first.

Anyway. it was mid-autumn festival ytd lah. and i was typing away for the essay. nonetheless... set aside some time for mooncakes! haha. too bad er-jie wasn't ard. mooncakes are nice! haha! Happy Belated Mid-Autumn Festival! :)))

KARAOKE

OMG... i actually 'aroused' my mum's longing to sing ktv. lol!! cos today my colleague asked me what songs do i NOT know how to sing... then i was like... thinking how to put it... then i said.. songs that i dun like then i dunno lor. lol! actually not true.. should be songs i've nv heard be4 then i dunno. even when i didn't like them.. i know how to sing! well.. at least the chorus part. Ok.. so when i just told my mum abt it... she was like... she dun believe that i know a lot of songs... so she started taking out her song books of the oldies and test me! DOTX. Like REAL oldies. from 40s to 80s. HAHAHA. in the end she was surprised that i really knew a lot. lalala!

Then my mother said... let's sing karaoke one day... at home lah... (no wait.. she first said go konghwa karaoke to sing. dotx. i refused.) anyway we have a full system at home... haha! i mean we used to sing at home rather often in the past... but everyone got busy with our own life... so we haven't sing tgt for a long time... and usually only my mother, er-jie and i sing the most. da-jie dun usually sing with us... at least not in my memory.. probably cos she aren't as musically inclined as us... and shy. my dad just always sit at the side and sing without the mike unless we push it to him..

Ok... so when's the next kbox session? Lately got a lot of new songs... so must go chiong those songs.. haha!! JJ, LeeHom, A-mei... blah blah blah.. =P BUT at least after next wed... the coming one. Cos... i have an essay due on that day and so far... i'm 0 out of 900-1000 words. Wow. how nice. i dunno how to start and what to write. damn. so much for the first assignment due. haix.

NO Reservations

Argh.. very lazy to blog these few days. no one cares also what. Anyway.. haven't got the chance to blog abt this movie. hee.

Actually went to catch it last week.. one day after class... not bad... Catherine Zeta-Jones is good! It seems real that she's (Kate) trying very hard to make a good parent for Zoe (her niece who just lost her mother). And Aaron Eckhart (ok. i can't rmb his name in the movie) is very cool in the movie.. Listening and singing opera almost every minute. It's really quite touching how he tried to make things happen.. And things really happened! Well... Happy ending of cos.

Other than just romance and comedy.. the show provides some family warmth and fine food as well~! How bad can it be then? Lately there's really a lot of movies involving food yea. And i think this is worth the ticket money. Eh. the others. haven't watch yet. haha!

Am really tired... And I have to say again that i'm currently very addicted to Facebook. Dotx. Maybe i will grow sick of it soon. Err.. or at least i should keep it away for a few days cos... i have a 1000words assignment due next week! And other than watching the performance just today, i have nothing else! Wah. die. er. Nitex first. =x

HK Music Camp - Part 1

Was browsing thru my photos to find some with me playing erhu... apparently there wasn't many of those nicely taken... and then i saw the hk music camp photos... and i think i should be in the mood to start blogging abt it. haha! (after like more than a month) =P


Introduction
We (changle, desmond, michelle and i) were in hk from 28/7 to 6/8... out of the 10 days... the camp was only 7 days (29/7 to 4/8) and 5/8 was the concert. we arrived one day earlier than the rest.. and left only one day after the concert.

The Plane Rides...
We were lucky to take SQ flight, the courtesy of SCO. heex. We met at the airport early on 28/7 morning... happily board the plane to take us to hk... there were some problems initially regarding our instruments but eventually it was solved cos the flight wasn't full... and we were even luckier to be on a new plane! the seats, the tv, the table and everything is just so different from usual... Anyway. the main point was.. i watched Confession of Pain on my way there. :) I watch that cos i couldn't find that show in vcd shop for rental... dotx. And on my way back.. watched Paris de Je'taime... but i was so tired i fell asleep. =x due to the late night be4 lah... haha. And only managed to watch one third of Protege.. eh.. should have watched that first... er.. whatever. The food was not bad esp. on our way back. i like the fish and mashed potatoes. heex. And the ice cream! hahaha!



The place we stayed
We stayed at the Lei Yue Mun Park and Holiday Village throughout the 10 days we were there. So unlike the previous batches whereby they get to stay in hotel be4 and after the commencement and end of the camp lah. dotx. Ok.. so basically this place is built on a hill.. so we got to really exercise for the whole 10 days... every place we want to go bound to include some climbing... stairs or slopes.. u choose. then.. imagine. our luggage are ard 20kg and we got to drag/push (whichever way each of us used) up the slopes to get to where we stay. worse still... right after the camp ended whereby everyone else check out and return home except for us... we had to bring our stuff down and put at some place be4 we were given a new room to move to.. which implies we move everything up to the same place again. dotx. super tiring.




That building up there was where we stayed. err... for the girls.. for the guys... can't even see the building in sight.. they were further up.. and really. poor them. for that 7 days.





The route to go back after meals... long slope...


The alternative to go back after meals.. the stairs. quite a long way too..
In the end we found some short cut.. but then didn't take photo of it.

The whole place is actually booked by the camp so there's usually no one else other than the campers... which consisted of Youth Chinese Orchestra, Youth Choir and Junior Strings. total up to abt 300 ppl? Madness right.


The meals..
Very simple meals we have everyday... had our meals with a few strings guys... they are some nice ppl... told us a lot of things.. and taught the 3 of them some easy cantonese since i already knew some of them. Ya... they were all guys... so basically michelle and i were the only girls at the table...



A typical meal we had for the camp. with white rice and soup. they try to provide us with different food everyday lah... the steam egg only appeared the first 2 days we were there... but i like leh. tsk.


But as the days go by.. realised that the food aren't enough for 8guys and 2 girls... dotx. i think too many guys ard already. mic and i didn't even get to eat much after all. cos we were slower.. haha! I think it's always the breakfast that is nicer... with bread lah. corn sauced chicken/pork was one of the favourites too.. :)


Ironically... the best meal we got was outside the campsite... really sumptuous!


Really the best... thou i didn't really had a lot.. i dunno why. they guys had their fill finally i guess.. haha!! Thanks to the manager who brought us there... and thanks hk for treating us. haha! =x

That's all first... i'm tired!!!!
