I hope i wun be just having 1 post per month. Which is quite sad. I love to pen my thoughts down. In whichever method. Because i'm such a forgetful person. I like to have everyone done in words.
So far, it's almost half a month into August, and, I have to say that I still got my share of enjoyment. :)
First weekend was a quite crazy one.
Jojo's Bday
Started with jojo's 21st bday party. It was like wow! It was at this super nice villa of The Sentosa Resort. But i reached there quite late lah.. Missed all the food. Which was quite sad. Looking at pictures makes me drool lah. Tsk. Anyway, it was still quite an event and he has very cool cake! And they are nice! :)
The guys are having some fun thinking of different stuff to do in the water. They sure are energetic. But of them had their shirts and pants on when they were thrown/pushed/pulled/jumped into the water.. Poor mothers and maid of their got to wash them. Tsk tsk.
Sitting by the pool is a relaxation too though. I had moments of undisturbance at the pool side just listening to music and thinking. It was nice moments.
Stayed over with most of the GGG, while they were giao-ing late into the night and after that ALL of them *pah* and slept wherever they could. And unfortunately, i dun have a place to sleep AT ALL. So i went for a long bath. Shower, bathtub. Another nice relaxing moment. But at 6am. At least i got a place to sit in there. Lol. After that was some camera moments. Haha! Then finally i have some space to sleep when some ppl left. :)
SCO Gala Concert
Went home and after a while out to teach.. And then after that met them again for the jazz concert - 1st of 2 concerts for this month.
It was quite a cool concert. The jazz pieces which they played were nice! Like a total diff exp with them compared to the chris brubeck last time. Cos diff instru after all. They were really good, the bass and drumset and of cos the piano. Damn zai.
The SCO musicians were good too lah.. a few of them had improvisation with the jazz music. Not bad leh... Just that it's unlikely that they really improvise on the spot lah. hahaha! But yea. still cool. Gives a totally different image on some of the instruments. And CO. :)
December rain 雨季
Watched on 8aug night show. Totally love. The first of 2 musicals i'm watching in this month. I was totally waiting for it since the day we bought the tix. Erm. More than 3months ago? Haha! It's like fulfilling something. I'm so happy to be able to listen to kit chan sing again! :D Somehow i miss Forbidden City again. Heh. Anyway she's totally awesome!! Her voice is still as good as ever and it sends goosebumps!
The songs are ALL so nicely written too. Fav is still the theme song - 请你告诉他. Must be written by liangwenfu. As the show goes on, i was like thinking, 'wow! It's so obvious which song was written by which composer!' and ALL OF THEM are nice! 渺小的我 has really nice lyrics.. [edit: Ok. I actually guessed 1 or 2 wrongly. -.-]
“是我选择了被人遗忘，还是遗忘选择了我?”
:) And somehow reminds me of If There's Seasons again. LOL. Like if they ever gonna stage it again. I might watch again. Depending on the cast this time.
Ahh... so during the show, it was half sensitive nose and half touched, I kept have to take out tissue to clear my nose. And tears. haha! There were parts the singing are so tear-inducing it's hard to control (or at least to me).
I think this is the first time i watched a Toy Factory production.. Although i've always wanted to watch some of their older productions like TiTouDao. Hmm... next time i know who to ask to go for all these if my sis doesn't want to go. I nv knew the sy ppl are like into such too. haha!
So anyway, the stage setting, the costume, some of the scenes are totally contemporary. It's most obvious when only 1 person is singing in front of the string-curtains. And there will be a dancer in the backdrop. Dancing to the song and the actor/actress' inner feelings. I've nv watched the first run of this musical, but from what sis described, it is totally different too. I think the artistic directions changed so ya. Everything changed. Not very elaborate sets, but good enough to represent what they want to represent.
Anyway, managed to grab hold of liangwenfu before the show to get his autograph on the prog booklet. No luck in seeing yeliangjun ard though. :(
“请你请你告诉他
我永远爱他
就算大雨一直下
心中彩虹长挂
彩虹尽头有他”
Omg.. It's been stuck in my head since i first heard the song on 933. And still stuck whenever the words appear or when i'm not listening to any other music. So catchy and meaningful.
Korean Bbq
We went for korean bbq lunch buffet on national day as a form of celebration for da-jie and er-jie's bday. It was awesome! The meat is so well done. Ok actually the pork are better done than the chicken. But we are all pork-eater anyway. Haha. Although no beef, still not bad liao cos not that ex. Service was good too. So full after that lah! So much so it's was kinda nap time for the afternoon. Lol. Only woke up near to ndp time. Haha!
Managed to get some fireworks photo from home kitchen. :)
And that's like the end of the long weekend. Fantastic although not the kind anyone would dream of. Haha. And i guess there's still more to come?
Till the end of the month i still have like 1 SCO concert and 1 musical - Fried Rice Paradise. Looking forward too! Yeah. Esp. towards Sebastian Tan!!! Still my fav thus far. :D More than George Chan. Hahaha.
But till the end of the month, i have 2 close friends leaving sg for studies. 1 is going to china for 2 years (at least he is cfm coming back). And the other is going to canada forever! :( i'm damn sad.
Update the rest next time.

For July
What eventful weekends i have had in July (and busy weekdays too). So i have to wait till almost end of July to update... Cos i was really busy dao.... The weather was crazy. i was crazily busy too...
First weekend:
1. Picnic + Fly kite with COgang.
Was a super rainy sat morning... But we still went on with our plan to Marina Barrage with some food and got to sit under the shelter to eat. And even under the shelter, we got rain washed over us sometimes. But we still got to fly the kite after that! Quite lucky though the grass is all wet. hohoh. Not much sun and wind at first. So a bit hard to fly the kite but we did it anyhows.
Then just as we stopped, the sun came out. Super hot sun. The weather is crazy. So 3 girls decided to stay under the shelter while jan, sushi, dj, via and i came out to fly kite. But anyway it's been long since we last met so early in the morning for a gathering like that. Ever since we grad from sac? hahaha. It's a good outing like that with them still :) (and i got a little sun burnt after that). haha!
We ended the day ard 2+.. for me to go for my teaching lesson. And some decided to go for some movie.
2. Movie
After that long day... I went for Eclipse with the Asswais. Some crazy ppl watched 2 movies on that day - Toy Story 3 and Eclipse. I was only available for 1. So yea. I met them after my lesson. Wanted to dine at Astons but ended up at Jap food cos not enough time. Movie was all right... Not that exciting. A bit gross at the fighting part. Other than that... More or less to the story? I'm looking forward to Breaking Dawn more. More interesting storyline. :)
Then ekky send us back to the east! Although it was a really long walk to his car. tsk. haha! And yup that's all for saturday.
3. Race Against Cancer
That was the activity for sunday. 5km fun run. Glad that we only did 5km. haha! too long nv train. Stamina is like. LOW. sianed. And my shoes are not really fitting... So my feet got very painful halfway thru... And then worst. Got stitches. like wth. So Anyway after that i bth and went back home to change shoe plus take dslr before going back to meet the rest at mac.
Then i couldn't rmb what happened for the rest of the day seriously. HAHA
Yup. End of first weekend.
Second weekend:
1. F.I.R Concert
Was quite a surprise gift from SCO. I think cos of their collaboration with 光明山. that's why there's free tix. Well, our seats can't be compared to those sco staff. And i can only say. 'Better than nothing'. haha. First time the asswais are going for something like this... And then, there were a few who knows NOTHING abt F.I.R and their songs. lol. Like our dearest dr.cheow and tanmeijou. So they were more entertained by iPhones than the singers themselves. Then a few of them fell asleep at the front. Which i agree was quite dry. But not that bad lah.
Anyway towards the end we got damn high and start jumping ard and finally joeltan got some songs he knows! like 2 or 3 of them? lol. So overall it was good! Free one leh. HAHA :D
2. Nothing else except for work and violin lessons.
Got to work for the weekend = coming to office 7/7. wah i tell u it's kinda madness. I worked (come to office for 12 days straight. So for the sat and sun. It was work then teach, work then teach. Just that one day was at clementi, the other at yishun.
One of the most tiring weekend ever.
Third weekend:
1. Music Exchange
Quite fun. Quite tiring too. Lotsa friends. Lotsa laughter throughout. Spent most of the day with vontay. HAHA. Ok lah.. after that with the asswais too. Mini-asswai gathering somehow. haha! Anyhows, quite fun to be meeting some friends whom i haven't seen for a long time. both MCO and Changkat. Esp. the cc ppl. LOL. And being called some 叛徒 for a day. :( Reason is clear, but dun say here lah. The whole thing was quite funny. And i felt so stress cos he was sitting diagonally behind me during our item. Cos i didn't really talk to him, and he didn't really chatted with me too... I felt quite bad actually. Aiya. Whatever lah. =X Why am i involved in this kind of rubbish politics of ppl. rah!
Anyway i happy cos of some things though. haha! Shan't say what is it. I know can liao. lol! Maybe some will know, maybe not. But also... erm. nothing liao lah.
The exchange itself was not bad. Although i wasn't really listening after some time. LOL. Take photo photo and more photos.
2. Movie
Went to watch Nodame Cantabile - Finale with the Asswais after the exchange. Hmm.. Not bad but not as much cute animations compared to first part. More laughter for 1st part. But still quite funny. And after all it's with the asswais. Anything can be good enough. HAHA. :D
3. Work
And back to work on sunday again. And to teach cos i canceled the lesson the day before. Still, a much too tiring day for me to handle. haha.
Fourth weekend: (one of the most fun one)
1. Universal Studio Singapore
Yeap. First visit to USS. And with my family. :D Family day for da-jie coy. So we all went. The funniest thing of all was the start of the day where the 3 of us couldn't wake up in the morning. So much so for setting the time to get out of the house, i woke up at the exact time we had to leave. And i was the one who woke the 2 of them up. LOL. So we had to rush for time cos dad and mum were already at the mrt station waiting for us. How cool.
So ya.. played and eat in USS. Went to gollilocks for lunch (fyi they sell fried chicken, not porridge) and it's not bad at all. But my dad prefers KFC. haha! Took quite some photos there... and the mascots are really good. :) Managed to get most that we wanted: Madagascar (only managed to get alex cos the session ending), Shrek & Fiona, Puss in boots, Frankenstein and Kungfu Panda. Damn cute. We were quite lucky for most of it... The cat is like damn cute. And well... vain. HAHA! And we specially waited for Kungfu panda. Saw him when we just reached and halfway through but he was going back to rest already.. so we ermm... ask the other escorts where will he be appearing and abt what time. And yeah! We waited there for him to come out. So we were like one of the first few. :D
For rides... didn't really get to take a lot. Went for more shows instead. Or rather, i think we only took the Mummy ride? Which was really good. Wanted to go to the Jurassic ride, but they having technical fault. :( And the roller-coaster is closed still. So no luck. Omg, i want to go back and play when everything is up! I hope it will be soon. So yup, went to the 4D Shrek show, movie special effects showcase, the waterworld show.
Yea, I was a happy when i came out of USS cos i got a puss in boots mug and a gingy cushion for workplace!! :D
2. Veron's bday
It was kinda last min decision to go.. cos it was after USS and i was quite drained already. Anyhows, met joeltan and tayzhiwen to go tgt. Yup.. had a good time playing Angry birds on jingwen's iPad. So big and clear. haha! Most of them left quite early. I felt kinda bad so i stayed for a while more.. which in the end i left like what 1plus am? Erm. I can't rmb. haha. And luckily i managed to get a cab outside the chalet. if not i have to walk the dark path all the way out to the main street.
3. The Line Buffet
If u still do not know what is The Line, maybe u are still not to the age to enjoy yet. haha! It's buffet by Shangri La Hotel. One of the highest recommended int'l buffet in sg. I went with my 2 buddies on sunday for lunch. It's damn good i tell u, just by eating the seafood, it's enough to return the money you paid for the whole meal. Oh and sashimi. it's like... heaven! It can convince ppl who doesn't believe in sashimi to eat it and say it's nice. Didn't eat some of the variety there cos really too much. Dessert was calling us. So tempting and most of them are really nice! Ah... the meal lasted me throughout the whole day. hahaha! I wasted my packed dinner provided by sy for the concert. didn't eat at all. And no Koi too. lol!
4. SYCO concert
Rehearsal at 3.30pm and concert at 8pm on the sunday. As much as we thought it might be a disaster, it turned out quite well. But the big thing for the day was... I actually forgot to bring my scores out. -.- So smart. And that was becos i was practising the songs in the morning before i went out for the buffet haha! And i only realised that when i reached SCH. Was kinda early and wanted to prac first. it was then i opened my bag and realised my scores weren't inside. And best, my partner and i are using my scores for the concert. How great. I had to call home to ask them to bring it to me.. So during the rehearsal it was quite disastrous, esp. for the erhu song. haha!
But anyhows, I think we did quite well for the concert. And i'm proud of us! :D So much for all the scoldings we had. If only everyone could do better earlier the next time. It was really better than what we expected. And mr quek was super funny during the concert. Esp. the erhu song i think. damn relieved. hahaha.
And then.... We face friends performing for the last time in syco. Well... I must say i will really miss them in the co. esp. joeltanmeijou. As much as we dun want him to leave, i think if that's what is better for him, I wish him all well. (well, he is going afterall). Ah... Time has really passed so fast. At the point i'm typing this... there's only 20 days left for him in sg. :(
Worst, there are 5 weekends for July!!!
Fifth Weekend:
1. Make-up lessons for the kids
After all the busy weeks... i had to change quite a few violin lessons to accommodate. :( And so instead of enjoying days i do not have to teach due to the music school holidays, I had to go back to teach them. Ok. blame on myself lah. :(
2. Support Xunqi at RACO concert
It was really a cool thing to see your friend as the conductor at a concert. And can see how much effort he has put in to make this concert a success. The concert may not be fantastic, but it shows the effort of all these alumnis who are perhaps very busy ppl, best example is xunqi himself. And the passion they had for the school and CO to make them go back and make this concert a success. Not easy.
A surprise to see emily and yingying there too! We were like damn high there. haha! They are there with their sn friends i think. And saw khai phang too... quite a good friend of xunqi i think. haha! Haven't seen my pri school friends for such a long time.
When would nyco have the same kind of chance to do this? haha. i dunno. Not so soon i guess.
3. Relax
Finally I got to relax on the sunday cos it's August already!!! I heart. And now... i'm going to sleep and update on august stuff soon. Hee!
PS: I think this entry kinda fits almost half of the labels i have. hahaha!
