X'mas 08

Actually i was totally lazy to blog... partly cos i piled up too many things to blog abt... makes me dunno where to start... then partly i'm lazy as usual... and partly becos of this...


HAHA! Busy trying to level up with the very little time i have at home recently... too bad i can't play it on my phone... hahaha.

Ok.. I'll update a little... SYCO chalet shouldn't be much said anymore... cos everybody already knows Joel's throw face story.. and there's no other news worthy story anymore.. hahaha! Joel aren't u honoured to hear this? You are the limelight! lol.

Christmas Eve was a short (quite) gathering for the jc close friends. William was very nice to invite us over for lunch... And cool.. he got the machine for karaoke at home! My house should get one too... if not all the sound system we already have is going to be a waste soon.. haha. Lunch was cooked by william i think.. Nice and healthy. Yeah! Mahjong-ed a while.. luckily we weren't really gambling.. cos i lost all the rounds... until the last game. -.-

Christmas was even more fun-filled. Twilight-ed with sis at tamp after lunch... My very very blur sister... actually booked tickets for the wrong day... and we didn't realise until a few days later. -.- So when we reached there.. the first thing i noticed was the timing was wrong... it was 1.30pm instead of the 1.40pm she said.. then we went to the collection counter and the lady said there's no record under her ic no. and credit card... so we on the buy the tickets and went in to watch as normal lor... in the end she was checking her email and still claimed that she bought the tickets... And know what.. she booked the tickets for 24th dec! double dotx. HAHA! if it's later still ok right.. at least can go watch.. but past already leh! Means we spent like 30bucks to watch the show. -.- Not worthed. haha!

Then went to daijing's chalet... We were actually quite late... and jan was the first one to reach... haha! that funny girl didn't even rmb our classmate's name -.- And still ask us to guess her name... i was like.. i know her name (doreen) leh.. why need to guess? LOL. Slacked in the room enjoying the aircon while waiting for the rest to come and mean time complete the cards for the 2 girls. Yeah.. cool wor.. but in the end both were a bit crumbled by dj's cousin while they were playing in the room later on. But our fault too.. should have kept it away earlier.

Mini celebration for weiling... with cake and present. Happy she like the pressie wor... she knows what we gonna get for her liao lah... it's what she wants... but dunno what design mah... :) Sing bday song and yada yada before dinner... Food was nice.. her relatives good at bbq-ing wor! hahaha! Cake from royals (for ling) was nice too... we finished the 1kg cake shortly after dinner. lol. chocolate lovers are all around.. lol!

Then up to the room for pressie exchange.. oops... I haven't upload the pictures yet... Ok.. this will come in a later post. =x

Sing bday song and yada yada for daijing after that... cool. she got 2 cakes. one was fresh fruit cake.. and the other was durian cake with santa face as the design... nice design but i just can't make myself eat the cake.. hahaha! Anyways... took quite a no. of pictures with the rest ba... hahaha... with the other sacians who went too... cool. :)

Feel that it's kinda different this year cos of the 21st bday... for at least the past 3 years.. christmas was.. at my humble home... really humble cos my table can't even accommodate all of us... can but very tight lah.. haha! But i'm really glad they nv 嫌弃 my house even thou it looks the same every year and our photos always have the same background. afterall there aren't much space in my house for everyone to stand tgt and take a picture. lol! And this year is more relax!! Cos we dun need to worry for food... for space or for anything else. :) and i dun need to clean up before and after the celebration. HAHA! =P

Anyway.. didn't stay over nor stay late... cos next day was another long day... and thus it should be in another post... So that's all for the moment! =P

ps: at least i blogged! hahaha :)

SYCO Fun!

Had a wonderful weekend. Er.. Minus off some of the practice time.. Haha!

But anyways.. Chalet was fun. :) becos of the gossips for the first night and the games and laughter on the 2nd. But 2nd day was quite a lazing-around day.. Cos other than eating and sleeping.. Nothing much was done. Haha. Some went wild wild wet while i went lunch with zhiwen, dean, yanru, jiawei and xiangle. Went back chalet after that.. Finally the 3 sleep kings and queen woke up.. So it's finally time to sleep again!! Lol. It was really until night time then all gathered again go the chalet for some games.. First was poker. Which i'm not too rich to join in. Lol!! Then the drinking game which ended with a lot of funny stuff till today. Thanks to joel!! Haha.

Ok.. Will update again soon.. Will have a busy christmas anyways. Hee.

Things dun always go the correct way.. Why is it so? Hopefully all can be resolved and we can all enjoy yea. Dun worry... I'm not blaming u... More imptly have to solve the problem. :)

Ps: Blogging from my new phone. Haha!

New toy! And some rantings too.

Hi!!! I'm happy today cos i got my new toy!!! HAHAHA! Nokia E66. Thanks to my phone... eh.. died on me on my day out with the royal family... and let me have the chance to get new phone! HEE!

Still exploring it... :))) And dad paid for the phone =x

Hmm.. other than that.. happy things lately includes getting tix for JJ's world tour concert 2009 and CATS! :))) Ok... I paid for the concert myself... but the CATS.. sis bought the tix. =P Next tix to get will be 天冷就回来!! That will be somewhere in jan.. YEAH! And of cos.. some SCO concert tix.. some interesting concert themes are coming back! Haha.

Anyway.. work was shag for the past 2 days... TOTALLY! Ytd i left work at 9.30pm and today at 9pm. Sian-ed. And really tiring... esp. ytd cos i didn't even have the chance to go out and get my lunch/dinner even when we have 3 ppl working... until end of work.. sighx. hopefully wun happen again.

And today.. only 2 person most of the time. Even more sian-ed.. but maybe it's a good thing too. =x Auntie on mc... my in-charge msg-ed me this morning and ask me go in earlier... i was a bit mean to ignore it at first... in the end i only went in 30min earlier... but then again.. the most i could was an hour... cos she 9.30 then msg me! auntie best... always got stunt... but well.. she should take care of her health too lah..

Then met yushi for movie... watched BOLT.. quite a last min decision.. cos we ganna pangseh-ed by 2 ppl who went to watch on their own already... so we just go watch lor... And i missed a little of the front part.. cos i was held up by the customer until 9pm! HELLO!! We close at 8pm can! They super buay zi dong one lor.. when she called at 7.20pm i already said we close at 8 and she still got the cheek to say she will come down with her husband now leh! Reached at 8pm... then choose for SOOOOO long... and nv have a conclusion... Er.. and i really can't wait already.. i had to leave... and they were still there. I wondered what was the result... and poor supervisor had to stay to serve them... tsk. Pls lor.. we are NOT obliged to wait for you to come ok.. TSK! So in the end i only left the shop like 8.55pm when the movie timing is 8.50pm! And i have to go all the way from Shaw to Cine. Cool! I half-walk-half-run there in like 10min or so... Cool too! Thanks to them.

But anyway.. whatever it is huh... i today suddenly feel very sad being in the service industry... i think cos i thought abt ytd i couldn't have my break.. and today even when i was having lunch at 3pm.. i wasn't able to have a quiet lunch... And after all these.. we still get very unhappy customers... I tried VERY hard not to roll my eyes when i pick up the phone... Afterall we are talking abt professionalism here... So I guess i could only say that there's no such thing as 'fair' in the world. isn't it? And i truly felt very unhappy. but ok.. I'm fine.

Sorry for the rantings.. i can't help it..

Proud of my friends!

Went to watch a few competitions this year... to support some friends and some just go lor... But in the end i missed all the finals which are supposed to be more exciting and nicer too... The only finals i went was erhu youth.. and i didn't stay inside throughout the whole thing... Reason was i fell sick somehow... and i can't control my coughs... So i'd rather stay away and not distract the participants... Somemore it feels super terrible to try to control them too...


This year.. can say all the Open Cat are very competitive... So many good players and so little chances... i think after all erhu is still the most competitive instru? Increasing of players every NAC. Like super terrible... and when i watched the preliminary round for the youth one... i was really feeling unwell... and 10 江南春色 already almost killed me.. haha!

Anyways... Congrats to my friends who have gotten themselves prizes and money.. haha! I'm proud of you all!! To those who didn't... I'm sure there will be a tit bit of disappointment cos after all i believed everyone put in a lot of effort for this competition... give yourself a pat on your back and say u've already done your best... You all are good players.. dun doubt yourself! :) 还有很长的路要走呢！And I'm proud of u all too... Cos i never had the courage to join competition ever since my first try 'n' years ago.. haha!

Weekend with Family

Thanks for the reminder.. i really haven't updated for like a week.. and there's really a lot to share!!! =x

Attended Haizhen 姑姑's wedding on 6th dec. at CONRAD Hotel.. She's my dad's cousin.. also a Lim.

Food is really good... The very nice shark fin... normally i dun really like eating shark's fin... but this one is really good. Erm.. the rest of the dishes.. got no time to take picture of them lah.. busy eating mah.. hahaha! =x

The cousins... some are not around anyways... and the most left lady is our aunt (姑姑）.. and the little boy on Dax's lap is one of the aunt's son... Eh.. hard to explain. hahaha!! But whatever it is... we had a rather good time... :)

The next day was another round of family gathering... Now the mother side... it was 姑婆 and 姑丈's celebration for their 70th birthday.

The adults.. ok.. mostly are adults...

Food wasn't the most comforting thing there... but with the cousins around... the lunch was enjoyable no matter how. haha! And i seriously think we were the noisiest table around... cheering and clapping whenever we have spare time and hands.. Ok.. my idea to keep the atmosphere up during the karaoke session... cannot 冷场 mah... so must clap during the rest melody lor.. HEE.

And my fav cousin.. haha!! Jiaqi.. proud or not? =P

Sums up my family weekend! :)

Publicising Concerts! :)

It's going to be a tiring day.. 45 times of 江南春色... But dun think i will be listen to all.... Poor judges. =x

I should go and sleep soon so that i wun fall asleep later.. HAHA! ZHIWEN!!! GOOD LUCK!!! :))) Actually i dun think she will see this cos it will be too early.. haha! But i heard zixin got in.. So Congrats!! :)) Have to go support her yea!

Anyway.. before i forget again... Have to advertise a bit lah.. NYCO performing for Beautiful Sunday on 14th Dec. 3pm at Esplanade Concert Hall. (Free Admission) Although it's only 1 song... but i'm sure it will be cool! Cos the alumus are performing too! Yeah! lol.

Then 2nd one... MCO (Marsiling Chinese Orchestra) having our concert on 26 Dec 2008. Songs include 茉莉花 (our gold song from genting competition), 龙的传奇, 打鬼, Super Mario, Abba Time, Barbie girl (cello and bass ensemble), 驼铃向叮当 (gold song too), To Zarnarkand. (eh.. can't rmb how to spell.. dunno correct or not). There are other songs lah... but these are the ones i think super attractive. Hee. But anyways.. i thought the songs are quite interesting too! And the tickets are at $15 and $25.. Can order from me or any MCO members. Support us! GOH will be President Nathan. (Although that is not the main point... but most ppl are making this a selling point too... so i shall mention it) =P So! COME LAH! :)

Ok.. off to sleep. Nitex.

Weekends whole day out!

Been a rather busy but enjoyable weekend... And ironically, i thought work was much more enjoyable. haha!

It was the usual prac on sat... this week with charmaine instead... we really like taking turns huh... Prac wasn't really bad... but not the best too... I felt that we are not as prepared as we were for the concert 2 years ago... and i can't really figure out what's the problem.. it could be that they started planning much later this time... and i rmb we really had many long saturdays for the last concert... whereas this time practice time is really precious to the whole orchestra. But... i will do my best de lah... somemore this time got 2 gaohu less! like dotx...

Then took laoshi's car down to SCH. Finally i'm not late for the concert... but anyway.. the concert wasn't really up to what i expected.. or rather.. we expected... didn't really understand the wayang song... For 红楼梦... i was only attracted to the first and last song they played... -.- but i really like zhao laoshi's playing... Like no matter under what condition he can always produce the finest sound from his erhu... at least that's what i hear till now... But butterfly lover wasn't as great as i thought it would be... sians... first part already keep speeding... then fast part also speed... Plus i was already super tired... i didn't really have the energy to listen to everything.. haha! Anyway i didn't really like her violin sound... it's VERY soft even thou i'm sitting like super in front.. the sound is only bright when she plays the high notes... at first position... all very soft and kinda muffled. She played encore also! And it's like super obvious the soloist and the orchestra wasn't tgt. DOTX. But still went for the autograph after that.. but could see that most people can't be bothered. -.-

Sunday was work lor... stayed a bit later to finish up some work... then went over to vivo to find yushi... thinking that she can go off at 10pm.. then we can go eat.. in the end.. waited for them to finish packing up everything! And by the time we reached 85 market... it was almost 1am!!! And i was hungry like dunno what already. haha. But the process was quite fun.
