I can't believe that i took 2hours to get to work today!!! DOTX. it's like a missed the bus no. 5 by a few metres... cos the 66 i was on 'refused' to go faster... and then i took 65 cos the next 5 is going to take another 35min to come... But in the end... i reach work at like 1pm instead of 12pm! including time to get some lunch for my colleague.. Like wth... damn sian-ed by then...

But the day was quite ok... customers who came in for repair are all quite ok too.. at least those whom i served... got 1 customer is doctor.... damn funny... i think he 职业病 lor... cos i like sniffing away and speaking in a very bad voice... and he goes like.. 'u are not well huh?'... then when he left.. still say like 'hope u will be fine' or something like that... but quite cool.. very young DR.. he quite nice also lah... at least nv too shock abt anything. hahaha! anyway claim insurance lor.. so nvm.

Then i thought i saw a super familiar face... and a super familiar name too... But i dun think he can rmb me... He's like my pri school teacher for a while... Can't really rmb what he taught us... but i rmb it was in P5? And he's really a nice teacher... helped us a lot with a project which we were doing at that time.. some toy.. He was either relief or trainee teacher ba.. can't really rmb. But i had his address and he ever sent me a greeting card. cool right?! But i guess that was so long ago.. he can't recognise me anymore.. and i dun dare to ask... later not.. then so paiseh lor.. hahaha. Primary school days are love too.. seriously i met a lot of good friends and good teachers in pri school... :)

逍遥游 with 关迺忠!


YEah. Picture with Guan Nai Zhong, Li Bao Shun and Han Lei. Cool composer/conductor plus cool musicians.... and cool us! HAHA!
The concert was really good... but i was late and missed the first song.. which was pretty long. AGAIN! ARRGH... the 2nd time i'm late for concert. and consecutively! and both times it was becos of the kinda same situation... first time was the Liu Sha with SCO concert. And now... Just that this time i didn't cab there. and i still get to eat a bit. like seriously a bit. sian-ed.
But anyway. 4th Erhu concerto is really amazing... the song is amazing... the soloist (Li Laoshi) is amazing too! Then Han Lei also damn zai... blowing 2 guans at the same time... with different tunes! Like how is it possible right. We all saw and heard it for ourselves. All the songs ytd are nice!
Next concert up is WANG LI HONG!!! Lol... Oopx. Aiya... 遗憾 for the week is that i couldn't get A-mei's concert tix from 93.3fm!! HAIX. actually one day i super got chance cos i predicted the qns correctly and sent out the sms the moment the DJ mentioned the main qns... BUT then actually i sent with the wrong password. -.- By the time i sent a correct one... i think too late already. AH!!! Suan le...
Ok lah... next SCO concert is Yellow River! Wooohhh... :) And it also means that it's holidays for me by then! Yeah! HEE.

《罗志祥 Show on stage 进化三部曲》

I know i haven't update for quite a few days already. Ok.. actually it's more than 1week already. =x



在过去的两个小时,我一边看电视,一边读着罗志祥书 《罗志祥Show on stage 进化三部曲》。读着读着,我似乎有点忘记我在看电视了。只是偶尔抬头看一下,听一下《超级星光大道》的参赛者的演唱。但书里的一切却吸引了我。他写了以前在演艺圈不顺利的经历,也写道他怎么重回他的舞台。这是我才认识了多么认真的罗志祥。也许每一页,每一篇,都是他的亲身体验和肺腑之言,所以看起来都好感人。感人的是他怎么看待自己的事业;更感人的是他怎么对待自己的歌迷。他写道:“很容易在一个高度习惯了,就看不清楚下面的风景;当我曾经从一个高度又坠落,我会更了解在下面的感受,尤其是那些帮助你垫高的人,其实有多辛苦。大家都说艺人很辛苦,但我觉得歌迷更辛苦。” 他应该觉得是因为有歌迷,他才可以站在高处,所以帮助他垫高的人,也包括歌迷在内。然后,他又写道:“艺人只要努力把自己做好,把表演掌控好,身边还有那么多人会帮你、照顾你;歌迷要担心的事情、要吃的苦真的多很多——就拿这场演唱会来说,你们要从各地来,要担心坐车会不会来不及、要住在哪里?位子会不会被抢走?然后在歌迷群里追我的时候还会被骂和推挤,最后还要在外面日晒雨淋排队,你们几乎都要自己去面对和担心这些问题……歌迷还真的比艺人辛苦太多啦!” 就算不是歌迷,也会让他这份为歌迷着想的心意所感动吧。


书里还有很多他的心情写照,包括了他对爸爸的思念也是一部分。他对工作的认真也真的是不容忽视的。很庆幸我那天借了这本书。如果我在街上看到它,我会把它买下来。而且会想要更了解艺人的心理。我们常常把艺人的表演、好的言行举止当作是理所当然,但却不能真正的体会到他们下了台以后又是如何。如果是好的艺人,我觉得应该多得到表扬,我们应该多认识他们,而不是只看到他们的负面!:)

I think the book is quite inspiring cos he went thru ups and downs in his career and obviously he didn't give up and that's why he is who he is now.. Well... i admire him for that... Because he's been down twice... He is sure to cherish what he has now and who he is now... give his very best in everything he does - sing, dance, act and host... and put in effort where everyone is able to see the final product everytime. I think the words in the book will make ppl think. So if u are free... take a good look at the book and his music too! :)


PS: I'm not a hard-core fan of his... but i would think that "认真的男人真的是最帅的" is suitable to be used on him.

The busy but BEAUTIFUL weekend.

Ok... a few days didn't update liao... Err... cos quite busy lor.. haha! But today nua until damn happy... that's why i'm still awake now.. -.-

Went for Jiaying's Bday at Aloha Changi last fri... i was quite late cos work ended late cos of some stuff... and i came home to bathe and went by cab after 8 to avoid peak hour charges.. but in the end 2 ppl pangseh-ed lor. But well... they got their reasons lah... Forgive them but they better come when we next meet. haha! Anyway... the only person i know is jiewan. So i hafta stick to her... haha! So anyway we update update abit since we quite didn't meet already. right? and we can't decide when was the last time we meet either. haha!!

So anyway... thou our original plan was to go home like 10plus... and we really did want to leave... but in the end she saw interesting games and since we have ppl to play with... decided to sit down and play. With jiaying's sec 4 friends. Oh.. we like played for quite long already then they realised they didn't know my name. lol! I'm surprised i can hun quite well with strangers. haha.

In the end... we left the place like 2+am? LOL! And guess what. i had to wake up at 6.30am the next morning. dotx. Jiewan sent me to the main street and i took a cab back... cos she not shun lu... but very good liao... cos the moment i got down from her car, i got a cab... and the cab got me home in like 10min from loyang ave. Luckily lah.. cos on the way back... it started with drops of rain on the windscreen.. so i asked the uncle to put me at the shelter... as it was getter heavier... the next thing u know... it's POURING! Really kua zhang ok. Anyway. Thanks for entertaining me ya.. I enjoyed playing! haha.

So next day (sat)... surprisingly i could wake up... good thing my phone is on the shelf charging so that i would get up and off the alarm.. if not ah... i think i will just press snooze and forget abt it. lol. In the end still a bit late to meet charmaine. =x cos it was raining and i was trying to find a plastic bag to put my umbrella... But in the end when i got to downstairs.... the rain stopped... -.- So qiao. Anyway we weren't late... but rather one of the earliest!!

Err.. regretted not practising enough at home before going.... damn difficult! A lot hun-ing involved cos really cannot catch the notes. =x Actually after that quite happy to hear that laoshi wants to put me in gaohu cos long de chuan qi erhu really difficult hor.. but then again... i dun even think i can perform.. Haix. Actually i feel sad that i have to miss so many things this year end becos of my attachment.. but i have to put studies related in first place.. so i have to do it. I was really kinda half-hearted when i make the decision... and i still am i think... Perhaps until it's going to be confirmed. I hope soon so that i can really be relieved that it's settled.

After MCO went to watch Babylon A.D. at Suntec with Yushi... Thanks to Liyana who gave us the tix. and caiwen too... I was kinda late... but luckily there was something going on in the theatre which delayed the screening... so when we go in the movie just started... Hee. The show quite interesting... although couldn't quite understand the whole rationale behind it. lol! And the ending a bit confusing.. it's kinda neither happy or sad ending ba... just blissful ending? Ahh.. whatever.

Sunday.. Funniest thing... i kept on thinking i was going to work on sunday... at least until sat i was still thinking so... And i also rmb that i was supposed to watch beautiful sunday. So actually i told my supervisor i didn't want to work on the sunday. But i happily agreed to have lunch break with yushi tgt! We even decided on what to have for lunch! dotx. I only rmb i'm not working when my sis asked me on sat night and i didn't rmb the lunch until she msg me on sunday to ask what time we want to go for lunch. OMG! damn blur. haha!

Ok.. So highlight of the day was Beautiful Sunday. It feels weird to be sitting downstage watching them and not performing... haix... i miss performing on the stage actually... and esp. with the SYCO ppl. I wondered if i still have the chance. cos afterall next year's syco is still an unknown to me... :( Same for nusco concert? Even the nearest i can think of... mco concert. I'm quite sad that i couldn't participate. Actually i do like to perform ya? But not solo i think. haha!

HAd some celebration with the syco peeps at esplanade floors for 2 birthday ppl.... afterwhich most ppl left and the rest of us went dinner with yss. He's damn nice i really have to say. He really seems more like friend than teacher to us. Even promised that we go out once more before he goes back to shanghai. Cool teacher. Partly really becos he's still young and wants to be young. haha. Seriously will miss all these SYCO ppl if i nv go back to sy again... Actually i should have left long ago... but they made me hang on to it... and now how?

So that's end of ytd. Although it was Mid-Autumn Festival ytd... Not much was going on... cos it rained super heavily... And sky was super cloudy no moon to see... So no party.. Quite sad... Cos it means the festival was just over like that. Seriously Singapore should consider making the festival a Public Holiday. Becos... it's also a very impt festival for the chinese!

Ok.. That's all.. i think i go and sleep le.. although today slept a lot already. =x I'm sleeping for tmr so that afternoon wun be like keep wanting to sleep. lol. Nitex.

New fav songs!

刘力扬 - 眼泪笑了。Dunno why. but just like the song and feel kinda sad for the lyrics thou it's not really supposed to be. Anyway she really has the singing power.

李玖哲 - 不、完美。The first time i heard this song was watching the MV on tv. And i liked it immediately.. But the whole story is quite sad... for the guy... 为什么爱人的那个人最后总是伤心的那个?

李玖哲 - 爱不需要理由。A song from his last album lah. but find the lyrics quite true? It applies to whatever form of 爱 i think. And in this case... it's the fatherly love. 爱,真的不需要理由。

苏打绿 - 爱人动物。Actually i want to watch the show lah... think it's a nice show... music nice too! hee.

蔡淳佳 - 约好的以后。One of my favs from the album... overall the whole album is quite nice lor!

Today just like that ba. bye.

Celebration with dearest han

Think i've been faithfully updating my blog lately ya.. although always on different things like the 'childish' Diner Dash that zhiwen commented. LOL! but very long nv post pictures already. lazy lah.. always take so long to load.. but today i shall post up some! :)

Anyway... today i'm a bad girl cos i ponned class... to go out with friends. =x Err... but in the end 2 ppl pangseh-ed the 4 of us... so the 2 of us whom ponned class were quite sad cos we could arrange another date if they said it earlier... But nonetheless... We had our share of fun... It was han's treat for the Waraku... thou we didn't really had much cos that girl didn't eat much! Dun deny ok.

Then went for a drink or rather... 2 drinks at Cafe Iguana... Happy Hours mah... hee. So we each had 2 rounds... kim and han turned red while yuhui and i looked perfectly normal... it's always good to be adults cos there are more places to go... just that whether we want to go or not.. haha. Then walked along the riverside.... see those lanterns... eh.. all those figures... dunno who are they! lol. they nv put labels or whatever.. how we know huh? But anyway the funny thing was we tried to take photo with the rabbit lantern and we had to try different passerbys in order to get one that really captured us and the rabbit... the rest were all failures. dotx. Ok.. now the photos shall do the talking. :)


Yuhui and i with our first round of drinks. Peach margarita in my hands and lime in hers...


The 2 red-faced girls. haha. and that's kim's 2nd drink...


We are so themed today. lol! Mostly black and white... (ok actually my shirt is light pink lah.)


Our 2nd round of drinks.... err.. no photo for the first round cos i haven't take out the camera yet and they are nowhere to be seen already.. lol.

Here comes the disastrous photos.

The 1st attempt. the sugar daddy knows how to take the girl but dunno how to take us. fine.


The 2nd. Obviously the passerby photographer no. 2 shouldn't be taking from this angle. dotx.


3rd. The passerby didn't even ask which one we wanted to take and she 一厢情愿-edly stand in a position and took us in this angle... so in the end we got the tiger head instead -.-


Like finally. We decided to look for a potential good passerby photographer... he was holding a SLR/DSLR... so we assumed that he's good. and indeed. At least we see the rabbit now! HAha! Thanks to this passerby. :)

But overall i think a tripod stand can do a better job. Cos we stood in the photographer's point of view and it was totally possible to get us all in with the rabbit... but i just dun understand. Ah.. nvm.

Lastly!


A lovely cupcake han gave to each of us plus a 贴心卡片 too... So sweet of her ya. :))) Glad that she likes the gift and enjoyed the night with us! Yeah! Meet up soon for another feast!

Convocation and School!

Ok... today marks the end of Week 5 of academic semester... WOW. Like so fast lah... But ok.. at least i've sort of decided my thesis topic... but i need more research and substantial readings to back it up... But actually i've already decided on the ppl i need to interview on the issue also... And true enough... considering doing something i'm interested and more familar with will be a greater advantage to myself... so i think i should go on... just that.. I do know that there will be a lot of obstacles too... so i just have to be prepared and beware too. :)

Convocation was over ytd (3rd sept)... It's obviously new to me cos i've nv been to a formal one before... But i think an arts school is afterall an arts school... any serious event could be turned into something more relax and fun... You see some graduands turning the stage into theirs. it's really cool... Plus all the Arts Management students present stood up to cheer for our lecturer who went up stage to receive his Masters certificate! I think that was the coolest moment. :) Anyway.. i've nv seen so many Lasalle-ians together before.. hahaha! =x Took quite a few pictures with some classmates... some of them disappeared quite fast... so couldn't catch a moment with them.... And some didn't go mah... Then so qiao our seats were so separated... that we didn't even have chance to chat with the rest who didn't continue to level 3... what arrangements. haha! Well... Still got one year... Next year must wear the hat and hopefully be the first to receive the cert. haha! (ok. i'm kidding abt the first part)

Pictures hopefully will be up soon cos i have none of them now... Dad and mum took the camera with them to Penang after the ceremony... So i haven't got them uploaded yet.. and then the rest of the photos are taken with different ppl's camera... so i got to collect them lah... Then there bound to be missing ones i guess... haha! But hopefully not.. :)

So this weekend dad and mum not ard.. it's MY heaven... which explains the sleeping time i had today (thurs). Slept at 2am ytd... woke up ard 10am. Had breakfast (surprisingly)... and continued the watch tv and napping process... haha! I just lazed on my parents' bed the whole day before i decided it was time to bathe and whatever to go school. That was already almost 5pm. haha! And now i'm totally wide awake. =x

Class today was quite fun... Learnt a lot... It's also a warning that we should really revise our work very regularly... not only this subject but other mods also... It's really quite useful to have revisions every week... And the way the lesson was conducted... thou the subject the content could be dry but i think the lecturer tried his best to put in as many elements as possible to make the lesson interesting and help us rmb as much details as we can... Furthermore he wasn't ever angry that we forget the contents.. rather he went through the same thing over and over again to ensure that all of us are clear of the concept... For that.. i think the fellow classmates should also put in equal effort to revise and study for the sake of ourselves... Yeah. Jiayou ya all.... Next week cannot be defeated by his questions! haha!

Ok... Tired liao... Haha!! update again soon!

Diner Dash!

Ok.. i'm currently addicted to Diner Dash... Be it on DS lite or on comp.. haha! Practically completed the whole story mode on DS lite with ALL the stages with expert scores except for 2 of them which no matter how hard i tried i couldn't do it... Already tried all methods but none worked... and supposedly they are the easiest ones. (Level 2&3 of the first rest.)

Then online... managed to dl a version that can play the full game with ads. So cool. doesn't matter the ads lah.. just that sometimes there will be error in connection.. But till now haven't unlock finish all yet.. stuck at this particular level... where the cust. dun need ANY time to think what they want to eat and also dun need ANY time to eat as well... So like the moment u sit them down.. they can order already.. then the moment the food is served to them.. they finished eating.. and amidst all these... still have to serve them side snacks and whatever... How to play?!?! I told er-jie... she tried and failed too.... haha. still trying... but like that will sian one lor...

Then dl another one.. can play the endless game for unlimited time... some of the cust type very funny... quite interesting... but cannot play the story mode one... But overall it's still quite cool cos can customise own restaurant layout and decor... and endless is good enough ba... haha! I'm easy to please. Hee!
