最近和朋友一起去看Broadway Beng. 本來陳瑞彪就是我最喜歡的舞台劇演員,加上在Broadway Beng 裡非常搞笑的他,是我真的期待的作品。可惜我只看過了上次Esplanade 的,和這次的。雖然這兩次我是totally enjoy, 可是好像就有那麼一點的遺憾,但我也知道,那種遺憾的感覺會讓我不會再錯過他以後的演出。
人長得不錯,歌聲佳,搞笑功力了得,演技也很好,中文英文福建都行。我覺得沒有什麼好挑剔的。HAHA! Okay, that would be quite a bias comment.
We all know most of the part would be funny. And indeed it was really funny, we all had hard laughs throughout the show. And the songs! They are the one and onlys. Where do you hear people sing the songs in chinese and hokkien, in english and hokkien mixed? The Broadway Beng does it. :) And the translation are always so funny, you can't help laughing. He made jokes out of the simplest thing you can find: his mother, his siblings, the audience, the stage, the supporting cast, even his father who has passed away.
I have to say that I was touched when he sang 《阿嬤的話》(He changed the lyrics to 阿爸), as a dedication to his dad. The only part in the whole show that wasn't at all funny. But he changed the mood so fast to joke that he is talking towards the ceiling not because his father is sitting at Circle 2. -.- And if the audience at Circle 2 sees his father, must say 'hello' to him. -.-'''
I love the part he speaks to the audience and the Justice Bao part. They are too hilarious. Tea parties, Ronald McDonalds, Grease, all so funny. I have a great time and thinking back now, some of the scenes still made me smile. :)
Little Broadway Beng is so cute. And at his age, he's really good in speaking the language. Acting was really good too. Plus, he has a cute face. haha! But throughout I was thinking, is that really the thing we want to teach this child? Is he too young for it? Or he has the 'bestest' idea what he's doing? I don't know, and I'm curious! 這樣真的好嗎?連邊緣的話他都用上了。但以他的年齡來說,我是很佩服他的。因為他太棒了。
Overall, have to give this show thumbssss up! :D I love Sebastian Tan and will continue to support him! I hope he makes a Broadway Beng show every year! PLEASSSSSSEEEEE! :D

我愛台灣 (2013年版, 第二篇)
Yup, the anticipated trip since the friends started become closer in SYCO few years ago. It's a pity that those people have already left the orchestra for various reason. But still, I was still looking forward to it, because there's won't be anymore chance. HAHA!

我愛台灣 (2013年版, 第一篇)
I have to admit that every trip has something memorable, each one has its own value.
I have gone to Taiwan (Taipei) twice in the past 2 month, i.e. one month once in June and July, for different purposes: Play and then SYCO.
第一篇
台北: 木柵台北市動物園, 台大商圈, 師大夜市, 十分瀑布, 十分風景區, 九份老街, 士林夜市, 台五分埔, 饒河夜市, 北車站地下街, 西門町, 台北小巨蛋.

Work's treating me.
Been too long, I hope this is not going to be an overdose. Ytd my colleague and I realised that time has really passed so fast that we already almost halfway into this year and 2 months ever since the new contract started. To think about it, I felt I was a bit too timid to ask for more. Nonetheless, I know that's not exactly what I cared for although it would have helped a bit more now that I need more money for trips and concerts. haha!
Btw, new term has started for the talent programme and I'm kind of skeptical about it, having new instructors, new students I haven't had a chance to talk to all of them (I hope I do in time to come). Starting anything new is never easy (well, taking over wasn't easy too). But new challenges is something we just have to go through in life. I never like too much changes, but I've grown to accept that they will just keep coming after all these years of the unexpected(s). I guess life has taught me through the hard way.
I don't know how long I will stay here. In fact, I like the place and the people if not for some factors. It's a pity but we all know that we will not be able to stay forever, not even long. This is quite sad, but I guess the colleagues are really people I will continue to contact. We are more like friends than just colleagues which I was quite thankful for. Plus the team is really good to the point that sometimes I feel so clueless and they already have everything done nicely. My team colleagues are so nice they are always trying to take care of us and help us in any way they can, like just random chat, sharing food, offering to drive us out/back after work. Really greatful to meet such nice people. Just today (1 June), I had a great chat with them over working at the band orientation programme. Next session onwards, I'm gonna be alone there again. But well, accept and take it with stride (my moto now).
For the other team, I am thankful that the students, or rather, members, are really kind of nice. They are experienced, and sometimes too outspoken, but I'm glad they could talk to me, and not treat me like some transparent. And in fact, I was quite touched that a few of them actually thanked me for being there for the rehearsals and going through all these. Honestly, music has always been my passion, doing an orchestra work has always been my dream (just that I'm a bit clueless here sometimes because of the inconsistency), and here I really still have a lot to work on. But I've also told my other colleague doing the youth sinfonia, that I know it's going to be difficult, but I will take it with stride and do whatever I can. Actually I said this only to encourage her because she was feeling uncomfortable with it at first. And probably she's going through what I felt last time - i.e. not liking changes. But sometimes we just got to change, and I'm getting her to accept that, I think she is and I'm happy for her.
It's hard work lately, so much so I haven't had chance to get myself a weekday off day even though I worked for a few saturdays. I'm so gonna have it next week. Accumulated too many hours, I think I have enough for my TW trip, without the need to take any AL. HAHA!
I think I should sleep soon. Been falling sick too much lately. Started with the sore throat and fever, then the swollen blistered up bites, and then some blocked nose. Okay, I haven't slept so late ON PURPOSE for a long time. I said that because I was forced to - due to the blocked nose, and the itch on the bites most of the time. Other than the nights I had the drowsy medicine from seeing the doctor, the rest of the nights were pretty bad. In the sense I totally have no mood to put on any make-up in the morning because my thought was I want to get to sleep faster when I return home at night. Some days I really looked terrible my colleagues asked me what happened to me. But still, everyday I went through the same torture of having new mosquito bites, scratching them a bit here and there, and having some with awful blisters. It was the blisters that forced me to the doctor because the first few turn really bad I couldn't even walk properly. My arms and legs (mostly the left) are covered with red swollen patches from bites, time to time. It's kind of gross and I have done all I can to prevent bites but still, in the end I had like 4 on my face. =.= I really need all these to stop like soon or even, right now! It's damn unfair, I'm the only one who gets all these bites wherever I was. Some are really painful and/or itchy, I hope they are not leaving scars. TSK! And I already finished the cream given by the doctor to kill the bateria.
Yup. So that's it. I have to get back to good health condition and skin condition before my dearest cuzzie's big day. I HOPE!
CNBLUE, JJ and Sodagreen = the Favourites!
最近無可救藥地迷上了韓國樂團CNBLUE. 並且很慷慨的砸錢買他們的商品。Ok... 也不是算很多,不是非全部都買的那種,但不會想的太多。我會像支持林俊傑一樣想支持他們的音樂,i.e. spend money to buy their album. 我總是覺得他們跟其他的韓星不同的是,他們不需要賣弄包裝,華麗的舞台或服裝,更不需要賣弄不必要的‘姿色’就可以攏絡很多人的心。真誠,帥氣,歌唱實力,舞台魅力就是本錢。
Cutie Jungshin! Loving him more and more now. He's so cute! But still... Yonghwa is my love! haha!
Cutie Jungshin! Loving him more and more now. He's so cute! But still... Yonghwa is my love! haha!
I could really see his face! He's so charming when he sings and actually all the things he do! Even the little funny dance he does. And when he smiles. Totally melts. <3
In our fan-mode while queuing for the merchandise! Might as well since they are there along the queue. Haha! So in love! Hehe.

崇庆 Last Day! :(
现在听着周崇庆主持着他在Y.E.S.93.3fm的最后一次的节目,脑海里浮现一个个以前听着他的节目时的画面。常常会有笑到失控的时候。今天,我却是泪流满面的。绝对会想念陪着我渡过小学、中学、高中、大学、工作的这把声音。也许你不相信,但我从很小的时候就跟着姐姐听933,而且是整晚开着电台睡觉的听着,到现在还是如此。也是这些日子让我有当DJ的梦想(知道是不可能实现了),所以还是继续听着广播吧。
对于崇庆的第一印象是‘双周末夜’,他和周汉民在周末的节目,每个星期我和两个姐姐会一起听,一起笑,还常常笑得太大声被妈妈骂。还记得他们的外号和节目的‘主题曲’和Rap。还记得我曾经写信到他主持的‘弦歌寄忆’是因为很喜欢他那时在主持那个时段。好像他主持的节目我都隐约有听,近几年是记得Mr and Mrs Chew,傍晚班,还有他在主持午班的时候特地会听他每个星期一11点的‘周一有慧(诗)’。
这一天,他将要离开933,电台会少一把我从小听到大的一把声音,陪着我长大的一把声音,我真的会想念的声音。很感伤,但我祝福他,就像祝福灵芝和玛丽一样。加油! 虽然打过电话进去点歌、聊天,他应该不会记得我,但很谢谢这几个月有他在晚班节目。
今天大变动了啊!丁志勇也将move on,当上节目副总监,不再主持早班节目。对他来说是好事,所以很为他高兴。当然也很高兴以后早上会听到家发的声音,真的像他上次离开午班说的:会有机会的。听志勇的声音的机会也多了,因为他将主持中午10-12点的节目。:)
I will still support Y.E.S93.3fm! Jiayou! :D

End of Batch 2012
Very happy that my kids completed the programme and put up a good show for the concert.
My responsibility with them is almost done, except for the post concert reception, which was sad because the school teacher wasn't very supportive. However, I'm happy to see my students so happy and excited for the day, and some very nervous ones. But they are so cute! HAHA! Omg I will miss the kids I think, the primary school ones are really too cute already, even though they are very naughty. Secondary school ones are very nice students though, very funny some of them, and although a bit irritating sometimes, I still love them the same. Haha!
Actually I felt the day was almost gone in a flash. I don't even really feel the day gone. I was only worried for some things that didn't go the way I wished it did. But luckily it was resolved in the end. And I was glad that I actually had time for dinner, at least! Hehe!
It may not be the best concert you can get, but it's still the hardwork of the students, the conductors and the tutors. But something to reflect for next year: not to let them anyhow change repertoire. haha! Heart attack to listen to some of them.
For myself, a lot to learn from this concert. Happy that I run my first concert ever. Like in control of almost everything, although not exactly. But I felt it and I kind of enjoyed it. :)
And now it's my colleagues' turns to get busy and nervous. hehe! I wish them all the best though, I will they will be good anyway. :)

Looking back to 2012
If I had to recall some things in 2012, the first would be that I didn't even finish my summary of 2011 post! HAHA! it's still there as a draft. But I tell myself, I have to finish this one on 2012.
2012 has been a rather eventful year, with some ups and downs in my life. Well, probably more downs but I have to say that it was better than 2011 at least and I hope it (my life) will only get better.

跟蘇打綠一起走過的演唱會
I was really excited to know they are having a concert in Singapore. Quickly gathered my concert khakis. Actually the usual ones didn't really want to go, so had to extend to the main group. Eventually I went with Siyih, Qin and her brother.
不記得是什麼時候開始喜歡蘇打綠,但愛上了就停不下來.哈哈! 也許是從一些他們專輯的主打歌起, 也許是那一首《無眠》。真的很喜歡那首歌, 只是這次它不在演唱會的歌單裡, 有一點小失望. 哈哈! 但是, 點歌的階段第一位點歌的觀眾就點了這首歌, 也讓我興奮不已.
很多細節都不記得了, 但是一定能說我完完全全在享受中度過. 每一個環節都有自己的魔力, 身材嬌小的青峰真的很了起, 唱功也太厲害了吧! 所有的歌曲都在他的掌握中, 就算是現場點的歌他都能唱好。但他也太好笑了,通常歌手讓觀眾點歌就會‘來者不拒’,就算聽到不想唱的也會當作沒聽見,就直接跳過。青峰他卻很直接的說‘神經病啊!’、‘才不要’、‘最不想唱的就是那首’(小宇宙),等等狠狠拒絕的話。可是很真實、很可愛,大家聽了都只會笑得很大聲,效果滿分!
好笑的是,工作人員很困難的控制站起來的觀眾,青峰卻喊了一句‘全場站起來’,大家都樂的!站起來狂跳,狂喊。還有就是青峰搞笑的虧贊助商位子上的觀眾,說他們沒勁,以後不要給贊助商那麼好的位子,也太大膽了吧。
讓人激動的是他們在台下的時間也太長了吧! 倒是家凱來到面前是讓人興奮的!哈哈!後來青峰也有走到我們的區塊,算是有看清楚。在2012年看來,也是我期待以及滿意的演唱會之一!
看過了演唱會,我更清楚我會繼續的愛蘇打綠,繼續支持他們。有些歌我更是從演唱會重新認識,從頭愛起!很驕傲我看了這一場,很高興我實現了自己的諾言,有一次我錯過了,說道:‘下次蘇打綠來新加坡,我一定去要去看。’ :)
One of my most crazy and high concert of the year. Truly enjoyed. :))) And you won't believe I'm actually thinking of going to HK to watch their concert in April 2013. But I think I will be busy during that time. How sad then.
BTW, this post is VERY outdated I know I started the post long ago but seriously I don't know why I don't have the motivation to finish typing it. So there it is, done 3 months after the concert. The concert was on 19 October 2012. HAHA! :D

First Post of 2013
隨便一晃,一年就過了。想一想,那三十岁的目标已经立了两年了,完成了多少,我们回顾一下吧。
[直接轉過來的]
1. 完成出国留学/工作的梦想. 「沒成」
2. 在最短的时间内考取驾照. 明年华人新年前可能有点难, 但尽量吧. 「駕照拿到了,但沒機會開車」
3. 存钱买车, 因为上班真的很累. 听说姐夫会买辆车给二姐架. :) 「沒成」
4. 希望可以找到心仪的对象, 不像一个人过一辈子. 看到太多的例子, 不想和他们一样. 我希望有自己的家庭, 也可以让父母不必为我担心. 毕竟他们也不年轻了. 而且, 我也不年轻了. 「沒成」
5. 去一些我一直很想去的地方. 「寫的太廣,很難決定是否做到了,下面再說明」
6. 希望我可以一直坚持梦想, 做我喜欢做的事. 「算是還在堅持中」
第一項應該是不可能了,暫時沒有任何行動、計劃。也沒什麼好說的,只是覺得人生好像應該做其中一件至少一次。現階段應該不會了。是我渴望的。希望以後還有機會,但讀書應該有點難吧。
駕照是去年的8月拿到,但到現在在路上開車的次數一只手大概可以數完,所以好像說我會開車又很牽強。哈哈!也因為沒錢買車啦,所以當然第二項和第三項是緊緊相連的。
第四項,不知道今年有沒有機會,但很奇怪的是,突然有幾個人都想為我幹「相親」這件事,告訴我有朋友可以介紹給我,有告訴我同事很適合我,媽媽說要為我介紹?也太神奇了吧,就這幾個月,真的是這樣。我也不排斥,只是不敢相信,畢竟沒有一個做到啊。哈哈!但是,我知道青春寶貴,當然坦誠的希望那日子不遠了。加油吧!
很幸運的,不知道為什麼2012年下半年出了三次國;珠海/澳門,北京,曼谷。而且都不是和朋友一起出的國,都是和家人一起。珠海澳門跟姐姐們一起去的,雖然因為天氣差沒做什麼,但三人一起還是第一次。北京是全家出動,二姐結婚後也算是第一次。曼谷就和二姐兩個人去,多年前去的通通都忘了,真糟糕吧。也是第一次和二姐兩個人出動吧。全都是第一次,還算不錯了。北京也是這些年我很想去的地方。說一說我一直很想去的地方,也太多了!美國,英國,歐洲就要多久的時間才可以完成啊!
最後一項,至少到現在還在堅持著,這一年裡當然也有茫然的時候,想放棄的時候,但我知道,走出這個圈子我也不知道我對什麼還有興趣,所以也一直不敢離開。知道有些時候是吃力不討好,但也找到裡面的樂趣。希望至少還可以一直坐下去,多幾年也好。
既然有做到了一樣,也是最容易的一樣,就換掉它吧。哈哈!而且是超難的。重新組合一下:
1. 存錢,也許在眼前想買的是車子,但最終要買的是房子。如果沒結婚,35歲時可以存夠錢買房子搬出去。
2. 希望可以找到心仪的对象, 不想一个人过一辈子. 看到太多的例子, 不想和他们一样. 我希望有自己的家庭, 也可以让父母不必为我担心. 毕竟他们也不年轻了. 而且, 我也不年轻了. 「這個就不改了,我對這個的心還沒變。不排斥任何人介紹朋友給我認識喔!哈哈!」
3. 去一些我一直很想去的地方. 像前面說的,美國,英國和歐洲,也不是說其他的國家不能去,但以這三個地方為目標吧。要在30歲前達到的目標 - 至少一個。
4. 希望我可以一直坚持梦想, 做我喜欢做的事.
5. 不玩音樂後可以完成更多想做的事:學跳舞、重新參加運動(的俱樂部)
6. 多點時間給家人,也希望在乎的人能多點時間給我。一年至少請家人吃一次大餐!
就這樣了,新的一年,我們開始吧!最大的願望就是運氣變好。以現在運氣的指數,好兩點也不為過吧。加油咯!
新年快樂!:D

Esplanade is 10!
I was quite surprised when I first heard about the whole event. "You mean Esplanade has been there for 10 years already?" - My first thoughts about the 10th Anniversary event. The method of participation in the weekend's 'Dedicated to You' programme changed from time to time. In the end I was quite involved in the whole thing!
At first my role was just an audience for SCO's programme and staff for DYMC's programme. And then I left DYMC, so that left me with just being the audience for the former and I was still contemplating for National Broadway Company (NBC) because I didn't know what it will be like.

Zhuhai & Macau (Typhoon) Trip
(My long owed post: I started long ago but just didn't set down to complete it) Hope this helps!
Kind of a short getaway for the sisters from 23 Jul to 27 Jul. We went on our own because the parents already went at the start of the year without us, and the friends all couldn't make it to the dates in the end. And the funny thing is, in the end the friends are also going, all at different timings. Haha!
Another reason was to kind of clear some of our leave. So we didn't cover any weekend. HAHA!
Let's start then!

王力宏's Music Man II 《火力全开》

A weekend of fun!
A very eventful week. Enjoyed myself and used my time to the fullest.
Last Saturday was SYCO's July Concert. Happy to hear that the tickets were sold out at the very last week, and even open up the gallery seats. Although we felt we weren't very very prepared for the whole concert before the actual day, everyone was really motivated and did well during the concert itself. Esp. when it was a coincidence that it was Mr Quek's bday the next day so everyone was extra motivated? But actually that should be the way. I wished it was more competitive so that everyone is more hardworking. Whatever it is, really glad that the concert ended well. I was totally drained after the whole day and my back and waist was aching like hell. Had to force myself to sit straight throughout the concert but it was super tiring. Almost died. HAHA!
Sunday was time for 《老九》. Frankly speaking, I wasn't very sure if I should watch it at first, but since sister was interested to go, I decided to give it a try. Actually, it was better than I expected! Just that the first half was kind of draggy, as it always happen in musicals, but the songs were good. And the actors were better than I expected too, esp. the lead Sugi. He did very well, together with some other veterans in Theatres, I like the '大马' acted by 刘俊葳, he was really good. The special moment was when 老九 narrated that his teacher passed away after 3 months, a kid behind us said 'huh!'. We all giggled at that point. 很有效果.
And was dinner with the JC peeps. Also a birthday celebration for my buddy - von. Sometimes I feel that if not for her and yuhui, i will bid goodbye to them. Haha. Nah, just joking, I'm happy to have such friends who have gone through jc life with me and have become so close since then. And even happier to receive good news from one of us. Got to prepare for it next year. But sometimes I feel guilty that they treat this grp of friends the most important but I didn't. But I really appreciate all those we have come through these years and I think we will still be friends for a long time. :) The reason why I said the above it plainly because I think they although they may feel I'm important in the group, but I'm not that important too, because I don't think they ever cared what I'm doing and how I'm doing. All we do when we meet up is just to talk about them, and I don't know, how on earth we can always talk so long and loud without addressing to everyone. I mean unlike my other groups of friends who will remember what I said and ask me how I'm doing or what. So, I don't feel as attached. I mean, they didn't even remember that my birthday is during their bali trip when they plan, and didn't even remember I can't make it on certain days even though I've said it so many times, and didn't even remember I mentioned that I going overseas on whatsapp. But the good new was, our dear han is getting married next year! :)
Then was on a trip to Zhuhai and Macau after that weekend! :) Will blog about it in another post.

田馥甄
Caught Hebe on her 2nd tour concert to Singapore 《田馥甄 To My Love 演唱会》, held at RWS Compass Ballroom. My first time attending a concert there. But don't really like the place though, ceilings too low. And space too wide, so sitting at the sides really cannot see much. :(
田馥甄的唱功真的是没话说,而且人也比我想象中的亲切。我以为她演唱会上不会太多话,但是错了! 哈哈! 说话很顺、很诚恳,也很有趣。有歌迷一直喊话,想引起她说得更多,但有时歌迷的话却让人觉得有点不舒服?其实一听就知道这样喊话的歌迷应该不是本地人。她也说了她以为新加坡的歌迷都很保守,没想到会这么开放,其实那个人就不是啊!
刚才说到唱功:很惊人。就算是没听过的歌,也能从她的口里感受到什么。而且背后只有一位和音天使,是很厉害了!连阿妹的《开门见山》都能有完全不同的诠释;先是利用音效变声,有种遥远的距离,后来又回到了原版的摇滚。这身材瘦小的可人儿,不简单啊!
这场演唱会没有过于华丽的舞台,服装更是简单 - 她只换了一次衣服,而且还是天使型连身裙,美!没有舞群,也没有烟火或之类的舞台效果 (也是场地的限制关系吧),但也有吸引人的灯饰,像是下着雨一样的灯光,配上她的情歌,我觉得是很有小室内舞台设计的心思。
曲目方面,只能说由于只唱自己的歌的话一定达不到演唱会时间的总长,所以唱别人的歌是必然的。可是我们田小姐喜欢的曲风也不是热门的那些,所以结论就是 - 有好几首歌都听不懂。不是语言的关系;是cannot appreciate。 真是不好意思。
最喜欢的还是《寂寞寂寞就好》,《My Love》,《花花世界》,《还是要幸福》,《魔鬼中的天使》,还有最近突然喜欢的《妳》,当场听到真的就想哭了。
I really treat the concert as a birthday celebration though nothing else special happened, but I was happy enough. Really had a great time, though there were times she was so far away that the view was totally blocked. Well, I say, a good saturday night spent! :)

Singapore Arts Festival 2012 (SAF)
This year, I'm purely an audience at the festival. I hoped I was asked to be a festival ambassador, but thankfully I wasn't selected, if not I will be feeling even worse to have to reject them eventually due to my horrible work load and schedule outside work too.
Anyway I chose 4 ticketed shows out of the many, which is considered the most shows I have watched for SAF.
1st show: The Flight of the Jade Bird. It's the opening act of the festival. I was having high hopes on the production although I have the slightest idea what is going to happen. I was more excited to see the musicians by the way, as we have known a few of them. But I feel it hasn't really reached what I perceived it to be when it started and when it ended. (Sad to say).
2nd show: The Languages of Their Own. I say it's an eye-opener. I've never watched a show ONLY based on words and voice expression. There was very little direct physical contact between the 4 actors (or should I say performers), the only one I was and remember was when Daniel came out and gave Ming a hug. To speak the truth, I was quite taken back at that moment, because there wasn't any close contact in the scene(s) before that. But I would say the character build, atmosphere build was really good. And at the end when they were cross speaking their thoughts, so separately but so together at the same time. It's amazing timing. I didn't know it's originally an English show long time ago until I read the reviews. I was quite surprised that it doesn't feel weird listening to it in Chinese, even though usually 'gay' is associated with the English and more open-minded society, like the place the play was set. But the idea of 4 guys with different background, having the same identity and understanding each other, makes people think a lot eh?
The conclusion of the play is: I seen some friends attending the show and then I'm quite certain of some things?
3rd show: End of the Road. It's kind of a musical but with no story line, sang and performed by a UK group Young@Heart. All the performers are at least 60 years old and the oldest is 90 years old! 90years old and still could sing and dance on stage! It's probably one of the most precious and memorable one. I was so touched and inspired by the whole show. And very impressed too I must say. The effect is kind of the same when Lu Chun Ling came, just that I didn't watch the actual. But, I really have to say I'm very impressed with everyone's voice and energy.
And then I thought, what will I be doing at their age? Not to say in the 90s, I can't imagine what I will be like in my 50s and 60s already. Will I even have the energy to still do what I like and perform like them? Will I even continue to love my passion like I do now? I would definitely wish to. The power they tried to project is so unbelievable. Very very impressed. I really love to be like that when I'm old.
4th show: I didn't watch it in the end. Because I double-booked myself for that day. There was another concert going on elsewhere and I thought it would be more worth to watch a world class percussionist who seldom comes to Singapore to perform. Sorry OMM and Rite(s) of Spring! :/

The Avengers Movie
My first superhero movie ever. Never ever watched any of those movies before, be it Ironman, Captain America, Hulk, Batman, X-men, Spiderman or whatever man. Except for half of Thor (or more, or less) on the plane (I fell asleep, haha), it was nice, but I couldn't be bothered to re-watch it again. So I kind of went to the show without knowing any of their abilities. Haha! Luckily I'm quite receptive in the sense of drama, so still can understand.
Anyhows, if you ask me what kind of superpower I wish I'd possess, I will say 'Reading Minds'. Not sure if I've mentioned before, but that's what I've always wanted to have. But well, superpower doesn't exist in the world, right? I have never believed in them, either, and probably that's why I don't really watch them.
For a first-timer like me, I consider it a remarkable movie though, and although I never had any prior knowledge of the heroes, I can relate to the context of the one yea. Okay, if I have a chance to see the other movies I may watch them to fill in on the details all right?

Draw Something?
It's been a long time since the last update? Been busy anyway plus there's no exciting things happening in life! How sad.
Lately, everyone is in the craze of playing DrawSomething. I was quite resistant of it at first, because my drawing sucks all time. But in the end I succumbed to temptations to download the app. And well, it goes that I'm drawing something! And I think i'm quite okay leh. At least i'm drawing instead of writing.
And at least I Feel I'm slightly better than some of my friends. HAHA!

The Lucky One with Zac Efron :)
My first time watching a movie premiere, and it's a Zac Efron movie! I was so excited! Too bad the cast wasn't here to promote for the movie, if not I would have seen Zac Efron in person. HAHA!
Anyway, I was kind of lucky I guess, to see the contest on fb, and joined it and then got picked randomly to win the tickets. :) Dragged a friend along to watch the show.
I have always enjoyed every single Zac Efron movie I watched, so do I have to further elaborate on the movie? I don't think you will believe me fully anyway, so I shall save my breath. But I must say I was taken away by him. HAHA! Go watch the show for yourself lah. :)

SYCO makes my life complete 2012
SYCO has gone into another year. I think I say this every year, but it's really kind of different every year, isn't it? And especially when more and more friends have left us for greener pastures. Nah, just joking, they left to other matters they have to cope in life. And sometimes it's not like they really wanna leave, and I understand, one day I will leave too. Sooner or later.
The funny thing is, I'm treating every year like my final, and still the same this year.
But somehow, the feeling is not so strong anymore, even though I know that eventually when I leave, I will still feel sad. I feel so emotionally attached to the group, we are not just people who play in the same orchestra, we are a group of close friends, a family. And I know I will miss everyone there.
Actually I kept on have to convince myself that it's time to leave, and I really do feel so, but I feel so attached to sy that I'm afraid of the emptiness I will get when I really do leave. Everyone is saying that next year is the 10th anni of sy and it should be quite cool to be there for a 10th anni. Same sentiments, but will I really be able to commit. And to be truthful, sometimes I see it as a hindrance to whatever I want to do in life. Seeing people with so much freedom without commitments like this, I'm envious. However, the fear that things will not be as I see it worries me. Oh wells, I blame myself for not being young enough. HAHA!
I think I got sick of myself talking about the same things every year after sy concert, so I'll save that for now. But I'm quite glad for this year's concert, erm, somehow, haha! I admit that I haven't been practising much (which is also one of the reason I feel that I should go already). There are so many more worthy of staying inside than me, though my attendance is probably better. But I was quite surprise that at the end of the day, we got to where we should be on the stage, and could see Mr. Quek is quite satisfied, by the expression and gestures he made. The sy miracle we always say. Everything comes alive on the stage itself. :)
And so, we still made it. And in fact, I was kind of touched during 边巴 that I nearly teared, thinking of some friends I miss and will miss in future (kind of silly also), but eventually I resisted, knowing that I really shouldn't tear on stage. But the music was just so good, really love the song.
Then, ironically, this is the first year I totally don't feel like performing for the finale song, because I didn't have time to practise and I would have a bit more free time if I wasn't involved. Plus, I've been in for ALL the years I was in sy, so I don't feel there's any regrets, unless if you want to consider the completeness because I did. Actually this part was quite funny, we were rehearsing with the SCO musicians for the first time and Zhangls thought I'm sitting with him since I already did for the past 3 years. Then I got to break the news that I'm not. LOL! He was a bit shocked. I had to go: '老师,今年我不是坐你旁边! 哈哈!' and he went: '啊?'. Ok, my worth proven. hahaha! Just kidding. :)

iLight, iSee, iShoot. :)
Went to iLight Marina Bay 2012 on the last weekend of its exhibition.
Glad that I went, and it gave me some feeling of Vivid Sydney we went last year. And they are still doing it this year. If you are going to Sydney during this period please go to the festival. :) http://www.vividsydney.com/.
The only downside of the visit that day, was that, Earth Hour was also on that day, thus the site was all dark from 8.30-9.30pm. So we also stood in the dark for quite some time before everything got lit up again.
It's a nice walk through the installations though. Luckily the night wasn't too hot or cold. But the walk is so long we got rather tired at the end, and we still didn't finish all the installations before the lights are off at 11.30pm. (Supposed to be 11pm, think they extended due to Earth Hour).
Quite a few interesting installations along the way. The site is so far away long the whole coast of Sg river, from the floating platform to merlion park. (from the longer way). And so it's the first time I actually walk through the whole MBS (outside), to a park I've never been before, and go through the river bank before reach Fullerton Bayfront Hotel, where there were a few interestingly made white park benches, some which can't even be sat on, then back to Merlion Park. By right the merlion itself has one of the installations, but we were too late lah. So we walked back to city hall to take train home after that.
I say, a very worthy trip. Although I wished more friends joined me.

林俊杰之《学不会》
好像又好久没跟大家分享音乐了。不好意思,因为我的人生有太多不同的主题,还真没办法一直往一个方向走。
在12月31日,我最喜欢的林俊杰终于发了新创作专辑《学不会》。还没发我就很期待!虽然没有第一时间买到专辑,而且还因为已经预定了台湾版而斟酌了一下要不要买新加坡的,最后为了帮偶像榜上有名还是买了。还是在出售的头两个星期内买的!哈哈!(现在等着台湾版到达我的手里)。
[Edit] 26/2: 今天去拿专辑了~ 有亲笔签名,还写上了所有人的名字,诚意100分!:) [/Edit]

There goes Rabbit, Here comes Dragon!
I think I never failed to post about CNY every year, so this year will not be spared as well. This year was a bit tough because first 2 days were Monday and Tuesday. So the weekend before it was kind of wasted because it wasn't new year yet.
But this is quite a special year for us as we had relatives coming over on 21st, 22nd and 23rd. HAHA! 21st was lunch after paying respect to our ancestors at the temple. Ever since we don't have a common house, we have been roving around a few houses after the session at the temple. And so, we lost our usual reunion dinner place as well. So from last year, reunion dinner is at my place. But it's kind of not everyone is here anymore. Still, we had a good time with the families. And we had kind of a reunion dinner on 21st already, just my family.
And this year, the only different part is that Erjie is no-longer just a 'Lim'. She's also a 'Wong' now. So she wouldn't be with us all the time. I miss her! And so, Dajie and I made our way to 三舅's house and then we went to 大舅母's house together. And my cousin asked if they will see my Erjie because this is the first year they are going to receive angbao from her. And commented that it's kind of different without her around. Eeyer, want the angbao then say lor. HAHA!
So back to my place, sit and talk and eat. Forgot that we should use the time to take photos. haha! And didn't have the time and energy for Wii also. In the end Erjie came with Bro-in-law to 三叔公's house. Yay! And joined us for the rest of the day.
Should have tested my luck that day. But I'm too scared of losing. Totally don't like the anxiety of gambling. So I didn't play at all. But I still gained a Magnum from it! hahaha!
At night was as usual the Lim Family visiting our place. Truly speaking I was totally tired at 10+pm already. Still, tahan-ed till all the guests left.
2nd day is again as usual, go to the temple for my grandma's death anni, then travel around, really nothing much, except for all the little conversation I've made? I think I did. haha!
3rd day! Boss gave holiday. Hohoho. So no need to wake up early, had another day to slack and regain energy. Very important you know, because CNY is so tiring. Da-jie also on leave, so it was good food for lunch. Hee. :)
And so back to work, and then.... visiting on the weekends again!
The first sat, to 团拜 with NUSCO peeps. Long time since I met them. Steamboat at Kevin house, and then to Andrew's place. Meet-ups with this group are usually associated with games (cards or console). This year we had a new game - Dixit. Quite fun! Got to be imaginative, creative and a little scheming to win. Haha! But quite a interesting concept and nice drawings on all the cards. So impressed. And the usual 三国杀! We have quite a few experts there lah!
Sunday was with family again, supposed to be with SYCO ppl too, but planning was so bad and since they don't really care if I was there, then be it lor. So I was with family to 3rd Uncle's place for lunch, which is really good! :) Then to 8th Uncle's house and to 7th Uncle's house. By then, it was nearly evening! In the end, we decided to watch 'We Not Naughty' that night, and I went to Laoshi's house with Via before the movie. It was a short one, but at least we did. haha!
Last but not least the last weekend. Sat was a totally busy day at work for our season launch. And dinner at night with the Royals. Nice dinner at Hua Yew Yuan although the place was a bit noisy. It was full the whole night. How amazing.
Sunday was a day out with Beloveds. Accomplished quite a lot I feel. Had a good steamboat for dinner at Dj's place too! Thank all the mummys for cooking/preparing the nice desserts for us! We had desserts from morning till night (before the steamboat). LOL! :)
I hope every new year will be as good, or, even better! :D

And we had kind of a reunion dinner on 21st already, just my family.
And this year, the only different part is that Erjie is no-longer just a 'Lim'. She's also a 'Wong' now. So she wouldn't be with us all the time. I miss her! And so, Dajie and I made our way to 三舅's house and then we went to 大舅母's house together. And my cousin asked if they will see my Erjie because this is the first year they are going to receive angbao from her. And commented that it's kind of different without her around. Eeyer, want the angbao then say lor. HAHA!
So back to my place, sit and talk and eat. Forgot that we should use the time to take photos. haha! And didn't have the time and energy for Wii also. In the end Erjie came with Bro-in-law to 三叔公's house. Yay! And joined us for the rest of the day.
Should have tested my luck that day. But I'm too scared of losing. Totally don't like the anxiety of gambling. So I didn't play at all. But I still gained a Magnum from it! hahaha!
At night was as usual the Lim Family visiting our place. Truly speaking I was totally tired at 10+pm already. Still, tahan-ed till all the guests left.
2nd day is again as usual, go to the temple for my grandma's death anni, then travel around, really nothing much, except for all the little conversation I've made? I think I did. haha!
3rd day! Boss gave holiday. Hohoho. So no need to wake up early, had another day to slack and regain energy. Very important you know, because CNY is so tiring. Da-jie also on leave, so it was good food for lunch. Hee. :)
And so back to work, and then.... visiting on the weekends again!
The first sat, to 团拜 with NUSCO peeps. Long time since I met them. Steamboat at Kevin house, and then to Andrew's place. Meet-ups with this group are usually associated with games (cards or console). This year we had a new game - Dixit. Quite fun! Got to be imaginative, creative and a little scheming to win. Haha! But quite a interesting concept and nice drawings on all the cards. So impressed. And the usual 三国杀! We have quite a few experts there lah!
Sunday was with family again, supposed to be with SYCO ppl too, but planning was so bad and since they don't really care if I was there, then be it lor. So I was with family to 3rd Uncle's place for lunch, which is really good! :) Then to 8th Uncle's house and to 7th Uncle's house. By then, it was nearly evening! In the end, we decided to watch 'We Not Naughty' that night, and I went to Laoshi's house with Via before the movie. It was a short one, but at least we did. haha!
Last but not least the last weekend. Sat was a totally busy day at work for our season launch. And dinner at night with the Royals. Nice dinner at Hua Yew Yuan although the place was a bit noisy. It was full the whole night. How amazing.
Sunday was a day out with Beloveds. Accomplished quite a lot I feel. Had a good steamboat for dinner at Dj's place too! Thank all the mummys for cooking/preparing the nice desserts for us! We had desserts from morning till night (before the steamboat). LOL! :)
I hope every new year will be as good, or, even better! :D

我見識了蕭氏精神
蕭氏精神,你見識過了嗎?昨天(1月14日),我見識了。很了不起。
每想到他跟我同齡,就覺得自己落在後面,然後很想朝著那方向走。對一個年輕人來說(對,我們都很年輕),是很了不起的事。當然,前後兩個星期都看了演唱會,一定會比較一下吧。以我各人的評價,上星期的Amei依然在我心裡蕩漾著。我想,在看到下一場更震憾的演唱會以前,Amei的那場還是我最懷念的。但是, Amei 怎麼說也是唱了十五年的唱將, 這樣比好像對老蕭很不公平! 哈哈!
雖說如此,我也好喜歡這場‘有一種精神叫蕭敬騰’演唱會。開場是我很喜歡的Four Seasons,利用了4位美女拉奏小提琴與大提琴,好爽!還在想為甚麼要用這首曲的時候他的開場曲便是《狂想曲》。歌詞讓我明白了,舖好了梗。

AMeiZing 太 Amazing!
目前為止讓我最high的演唱會,而且也是讓我最感動的演唱會。
Photo from xinmsn
本來就好喜歡Amei, 所以很多年前就好想到現場聽/看她的演唱會,但是以前還是學生,又沒賺甚麼錢,所以一直都沒有實現。這次,毫無考慮的,我知道我一定要去,結果很快的,買了兩張票,請二姐一起去。果然,是個不可能會錯的決定。演唱會現場,我們兩都瘋了。

2012, Let's go!
Why do we have to set resolutions every year?
I'm still sticking to the 三十岁的目标 I've set somewhere late 2010, because I only completed one of them which is to get my driving license. The rest, some I'm trying to keep, and the rest, not fulfilled yet. And if I were to add anymore to them, it may take me my whole life.
So to keep it simpler, I just want 2012 to be better than 2011. And somehow I need this to happen to me. That day I posted on fb that 2011 was so bad that things can screw up even when I was overseas, eg. missing planes in aus, caught in typhoon while taking cable car in hk, and getting bites so badly in hk also. Thus, this year has to be better, please.
But well, I will just try to remember the goods. :)
I'm not having a far vision for this year as well, or rather, I didn't dare to have a far vision for this year, after what had happened the last, in my least expected circumstance. But it's ok, I'm ready for 2012! Let's go! :)
At least I've had a great start with one of the best fireworks experience and a whole day and night of fun. :D

那些年,我想到的人
你看過今年最多人關注的《那些年,我們一起追的女孩》了嗎?你也有跟我一樣的感受嗎?-想起當年喜歡過的人或被追的那個人?還有跟一群死黨一起讀書的日子?
我想到了很多以前在讀書時的事。中學也好,高中也好,都是我會回味的日子。有很多好事,也有很多不好的,但我想這些都是人生的一部份吧。雖說讀的是女校,但慶幸認識一群好玩的朋友,有時也會做出瘋狂的事。雖然都不是戲裡的那些, 但是感覺是一樣的.
高中又不一樣了。高中的我好像有點平凡無奇,好像又有點荒唐。有很多值得回憶的事,又有很多不想回憶的。而矛盾的是,有些事是一樣的。總之,是心情很複雜的一個時期。不知道是好是壞,有很多的遺憾,又沒有好好用功,又沒有很瘋狂。

Sister's Big Day! :)
Finally my sister is officially married! After all the engagement, ROM and finally the custom ceremonies over the past 2 years.
It's quite fun but tiring having a family member getting married. Why didn't my eldest sister get married leh? And I've met so many people I haven't met for a long long time. Okay, let's start from the morning.

朋友到了极乐世界
最近有认识的人过世了。虽然和对方不是很熟,但在社交网上有互动,所以还是有所感触。而且我根本没有想到这样的事会发生在一个还很健康的人。她好像和二姐一样年龄,结婚刚满三年。最近因为发烧住入了医院,以为只是小事,结果因为细菌感染而去世了。很震惊。也有些许的难过。
知道消息的时候,朋友已经出殡。也许我也不会出席,只是看到她弟弟因为这件事影响很大,也会有一点感慨。而且,这也再次提醒我们要珍惜身边的人。因为谁都不会料到这样的事会发生。前几天还好好的,结果就这样,离开了人世,真的好可惜。想起来还是觉得无法接受。而且刚开始心情还难以平复。
结果,只好跟这个朋友说再见了。希望她一路好走。

Hong Kong - Revised.
Feel like talking about the Hong Kong trip and the camp.
Been to HK so many times and I haven't felt sick and tired of the place. Every time there is something new, every time there is something for me to look forward to and enjoy. And I think I will continue to go to HK. I even ever secretly hoped that I will be able to work there, even though my Cantonese is really cui. Haha!
Anyway, we took a midnight flight to HK because it's cheaper (we are trying to go all budget). But we still took a Cathay Pacific so as not to sacrifice our instruments for the strict rules of budget airlines, moreover, Jetstar wasn't any cheaper.
A-Inn Hostel
We got ourselves very cheap hostel, 4 in a room with private bathroom, and allowed check-in at any time of the day. Perfect for us since we are reaching that early and it's quite impossible for normal hotel to allow to check in at 8am, no? It's the first time I actually took a public bus out of the airport - something new for me. Haha. In the end we still got to the hostel so early that nobody was there yet. Had to call the number at the door to get someone to come. Nevermind about that, at least we weren't left there unattended for hours.
I realise I have quite good memory on what's here and there. I could recall the cafes, restaurants I've been to, pretty much. Heh.
Dim Sumsssss
Dim sum is essential. So we went to 好彩海鲜酒家, 莲香楼 on first day and second day morning respectively. Both of them looked the same from the last time I went. 好彩 back in 2007, and the other in 2009. LOL! 莲香楼 is really good for experiencing traditional local dim sum practice. We practically shared the table with 2 other group of people. Although they were quite nice, we didn't manage to get any desired food at first try. They guys were shocked at the speed the food was taken off the trolleys that just came out from the kitchen. But in the end we still managed to eat quite a number of different dim sum, after they got the hang of getting the food from the trolleys. Haha!
Other Foodsss
Okay, it's kind of unfair to list the rest just under 'others', because they are very nice food and very important in the trip too! haha!
Wanton Mee
I'm not exactly a fan of Wanton Mee, but knowing it's quite famous in HK, we went to try the one Von went before. Not bad actually. The portion is kind of big and there was a lot of people by the time we ordered.
Mido Cafe
I swore to go to the cafe again ever since I saw it being featured on 刑警. hahaha! But seriously, the food aren't really cheap at all the 茶餐厅s. But the milk tea is really good. :) and the 菠萝油! Love.
Porridge
Generally, I loved the 海皇粥店 there. We went to a shopping mall too late to meet the closing time of a eating place so we just stopped at a random porridge shop on our way back to our hotel, and it's actually just opposite the place. Randomly, the food is nice everywhere around there!
Fast Food(s)
Actually we had quite Mac quite a few times, KFC once. And there's more variety in KFC than Sg, and more drinks selection in Mac. They have the HK milk tea in mac. haha! Quite cool. Nuggets are nice too.
Bubble Tea(s)
It's a blessing to drink the 贡茶 there. It's the large cup at a price cheaper than Sg's smaller cup. And it's nicer! And we have one just around our hotel! :) Oh and we have a 歇脚亭 right outside our door. So we tried too. Not bad lah. Haha! Basically, usually the milk teas there are nice. :)
Dessert(s)
Tried 高记甜品 and 满记甜品. Can't remember the rest. Mango desserts are love. :)
Ok, I got to confess now that I can't remember anymore details. =x Blame it on the procrastination.
Other than shopping, we only went to visit The Victoria Peak, Madam Tussauds Wax Museum and Ocean Park. The last time was really the wrong company to go to Ocean Park. Had so much more fun this time. Esp. at the Marine World, we were there for such a long time looking at all the fishes and such. Still didn't see the panda this time round. But played more rides, took the cable car up to the theme park area, and the express train down at the end. And we were so 'lucky' that the typhoon came halfway through our cable car ride. How coincidental is that?! So of course we had no choice and had to tahan till the end of the ride and still got stuck at the station. Luckily we had poncho and we ran out with it on when the rain got lighter. And luckily the weather became better afterwards, if not we wouldn't get to play those rides and wouldn't be able to watch the animal show as well.
Ya. There's just so much I could remember about the shopping part. =P

Batam Stayover - Done! :)
Had a getaway to Batam last weekend with some beloveds. (Note: I didn't use 'trip' because it's not long enough to be considered a 'trip' for me. Haha!)
Been long since I last went to Batam. And I've never been there on my own without any family member before. And never ever done free and easy on my own with friends before also. Everything I go there, my cousins will be driving us the moment we reached till we leave. Ok, for a tour like that, it's the same lah. We got coach to bring us around (to places I've never been to I think) and to and fro the pier.
It was quite ok, one of us couldn't make it last minute, but it was good that we can cancel out the name easily. Of course the package money is paid, but at least we saved the fuel charge and all that. And it was fun because of the company! :)
Apparently we went to this seafood restaurant for lunch and everything is so familiar, like the one we've always gone to in the past. The settings and environment are all the same, but I couldn't be sure if that was the one. Next time I go again must ask them. Lunch was ok if we weren't in such a rush. And I'm still harping over the fact that I only had 1 pathetic piece of calamari out of the whole big plate because some auntie whom we shared a table with scooped all the remaining pieces onto her plate without even asking or noticing other ppl. Totally sian-ed after that. The aunties are seriously in their own world and totally in the spirits of Singaporean aunties.
Seriously, how coincidentally one of the auntie approach yih to ask a stupid question on mer's tattoo, and then secretly cut the queue to clear customs. And then happened to be on the same coach as us for the whole holiday, and share the same table for lunch. Gawds. Luckily that was the ONLY meal we had to eat together. Thankful for that.
But at the end of the day, we saw something which we couldn't understand. Seriously don't know what the aunties are trying to play with. Disappearance? My friends only do that when we were in sec school. And at this kind of time. Not very funny. Ok, so the auntie who approached us actually told her 2 friends to wait at the departure area while she went on to eat and shop. She might be kind of wrong in this but I reckoned the 2 friends didn't want to walk because at the shopping mall the previous day I saw the 2 aunties resting at the stage area (with chairs) for quite some time. So the auntie came back nearing the boarding time to look for her friends and couldn't find them. So she asked if we've seen her friends, well, of course we didn't lah. So she was quite anxious and worried - her stuff are with them I think, and obviously if you can't find your friends you panic lah, moreover in a foreign land right. So the auntie couldn't decide if the friends have already gone in, so she queued to clear the customs (she cut the queue btw), while she was doing that, we saw the 2 friends actually inside a waiting area and didn't want to let her know, keep asking us to keep mouthed about it. Hello, we are not interested in your game. And please, how old already still play this kind?! Eventually, they entered the departure area at different time and cleared the customs with some interval in between each other, a bit weird I say. And they still sat together in the ferry. Weird kind of friendship I say, or if you even consider that friendship.
The worst part of the trip was on the return trip, trying to get out of the building to go on the ferry. We were all squeezing actually. Initially, we queued up because everyone was queuing. But towards the boarding time, everyone just crowd themselves around the gate, and so the queue dissolved once they announced for us to board the ferry. It was crazy and aunties are really good in all these, they encouraged younger people in front of them to squeeze and not give way. Typical. At least in the end we still managed to sit together. Credits to daijing who was able to squeeze out the fastest with the help of an aunties pushing the 2 girls behind daijing. haha!
Best part of the trip is at least we get to eat some good food, get some cheap clothes and buy cheap tidbits! :D Though didn't buy a lot, but we had our fair share of fun, esp. when we were playing saboteur in our room at night. It was kind of crazy and fun.
And I had a big bed to myself!! Woohooooo! :D
I'm actually looking forward to the next time I go back there to find my cousins again. But probably it wouldn't be so soon, and I wouldn't be able to get on such trips again easily, because I'm trying to get more students to earn more money. It's hard to give up some things (fun and rest) for such, but it's the age to do so and I'm going to heed the advice from my teacher to make it a break before I don't have the energy to do so. :) And so, I want to save up more for future better trips. :)))

The next trip?
Last week one of my friends asked me, if I could only go to one place, where is the first I want to go. And you know what, I can't even answer this question. In the end I still had an option answer. i.e. Shorter period (1week) - Japan, Longer period (2weeks) - US. So it depends on how much time I can afford. Oh, and probably how much money I can afford too. Plus, if I can afford, I would really want to go to London. One of my dreams to watch some musicals there! Omg. I can't wait for myself to go already.
The thing is, there are so many places I'd want to go!
So now I've got to start saving. =.=
They say if I stop going to all the short trips to HK, I will have the money to go to these places. But but but... I <3 HK! And I seriously don't mind going again. Esp. for the camp or just shopping. Okay, maybe not the camp anymore because I believe that those memories are the best to keep. :) But shopping, yes!
You see, I haven't been to HK that often. The last time was 2 years ago. HAHA! And I haven't only gone to HK mah. And I visited other places before. So it isn't fair to say that.
Ok. Got to plan for next year soon. So that I can save up well. :)))

End of 7th Year!
10 Sep Chamber Series concert marks the end of SYCO 2011. (Ok, there's still the reception). I hope I won't get emo then.
I remember 09 I wanted to stop because of the possible clash in school lessons and practice days. But somehow the schedule allowed me to go for practices, only to fill all my weekday evenings. Definitely one of my hardest year but I pulled through.
To be truthful, I can't really say which year I enjoyed the most. Every year there's something the same, something different. Every year there's a different feel. But I can safely say I became more and more attached to the group every year. And that's the exact reason pulling me back from the most cruel decision, and the thought of 'I should have done it earlier'. But I'd say I have never regretted anything for SYCO for the past 7 years.
And now, it's time to make a decision again. To stay or to leave. I very much want to stay, then again, I had to consider some other things happening in my life, or I think I should be doing. Esp. when I know that some things are too difficult to achieve in the orchestra. But if I leave, it means I'll be left with no orchestras at all! And that is sad.
I don't know exactly, 2 voices are shouting out very loudly to me. 1 saying, 'Stay! Your passion, your friends are all there!', and the other saying, 'No, you should spend more time building your own career and stop wasting time because you are not young anymore!' Both are like damn true.
Like I always say, it really takes a lot of courage to give up something. Esp. when I don't even know if it's worth giving up yet since I haven't got any solid plan that will be happening for sure if I do. But if I do not give myself more time first, how do I execute any plan? Ahh!! Still a dilemma after all. I need more time.
Anyhows. I <3 SYCO max. Thank you people, again, for another wonderful year. :)

Don't ask.
Ending my 3rd week.
Think about it, I've done a lot but haven't really done a lot too. Maybe there's just too much. And sometimes I just feel a little depressing looking at the current situation. But that is so not me, so I decided to take it in stride. Do what I can and take what is there for me.
Everyone kept asking me the same 2 questions of the past and current, and I already feel very sick answering them all the time. I wouldn't say what they ask, quite sensitive issues. And to speak the truth, I feel a bit embarrassed answering them. I hope they will ask me no more. :)
Perhaps, it was never a good decision from the start of this whole life. (not referring to this current job)
I'm enjoying what I'm doing to be honest, if only the returns are slightly better. And I'm not asking much anyway, so I need to do something more in my life. Just got to work harder i guess.

Bah............
Sometimes life is just full of irony.
As I was reading through some of the entries for the past year, I realised how much life has changed for me, how much things aren't real for me, how things just go off course so suddenly, how different it is now than what I thought they would be like in the posts.
I didn't have a job for the past 3 months but my expenses are the highest during this period. 2 Overseas trips plus driving lessons and PT is enough and plus all the other misc expenses like minimal shopping and such. I already very control. But well, I want to be strong and not admit to my family what I'm facing. And well, I owed my sister quite a bit of money to begin with. =x You wouldn't believe the amount. haha.
Then to make things worse, students left one by one. And it had to happen when I'm in need of them. I'm kind of disheartened to not teach anymore. But how leh? I think I'll give myself and the music school another month.
And then, more and more things coming up. I really need to settle this soon!

Journey to Driving
Dragged for almost a year. Wasted a PDL because I was too busy when I first applied for it, and totally wasted it without using it for even once. Finally started the lessons when I lost my job. Yup. To be truthful, it's a lost to me. But anyhows life went on, and so I might as well make use of the time. About $1300 - every single cent out of my own pocket even without an income for the past 3 months.
I was very nervous and anxious because I do not want to drag it longer, and I do not want to spend more money on it. I have to say I'm being lucky today. The tester was nice. And the tester might be rushing for time. But still made a few mistakes here and there. The worst was on the road. Didn't filter across ALL the lanes fast enough. And caused a car behind to brake. =x Wasn't really hoping much. But we returned to the school right after that. So no more chance for mistakes and that's why I passed? Haha! Luckily he didn't mark that as 'caused near accident'?
Other than that, the rest of the points came from the circuit. Can't believe some of the mistakes I made. Like on the slope! Tsk. I was kind of confident for that. But I don't know why I lifted up my foot from the brake pedal before releasing the clutch to biting point. I think my mind was in a blank. And the E-brake too. I totally forgot and reacted too slow plus wrongly. I can't even remember now which pedal did I step on first. =.=
Anyway I'm glad I passed, although not the best. But I did! :D Tyvm now I'm a P-plate driver. :)

HK Camp 完zor :(
Sometimes I do not know if that was a really good decision to go to the camp. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have so much feelings about it and wouldn't have this real feeling of missing it again. But if I hadn't, I wouldn't have met so many nice people, wouldn't have so many new friends added to my life.
回來後,有一種空虛感。有一點小遺憾,一點不捨,一點小傷心。很多事,我清楚我知道的。就好像一場夢一樣,沒想到我真的還能有機會回去,沒想到能遇到一些舊朋友,也認識到這麼多新朋友。真的很高興,我並沒有白去。但,我也知道,夢終究是要醒過來的。夢做完了,就要回到現實。
現在,我得回來了。

HK I'm coming!
It's been almost 2 years since I last went to HK and 4 years since the last HK music camp. I'm feeling both a little excited and a little uncertain. I'm not sure why either. Maybe because I also don't know who exactly I will meet again. But well, I know exactly who I wouldn't meet, because he isn't part of CO. Ah... what a pity. But ya. I guess I will still enjoy myself much! :D
All that said, I'm flying tonight! :D And returning on 7 Aug. Of which, I shall try to be worry-free (though kind of difficult because the pieces are kind of worrying, and my driving test is kind of worrying as well). Omg. But I'm really just gonna enjoy! Happy MUCH! :D
Bye! Actually I hope I never have to come back again. LOL! =x

4 things to do in half a day.
Today marks the end of SCO 10/11 Season. One very good concert I say, however, I only watched the 2nd half of the concert because I have too many things going on today.
But the concert was decided 1 year ago, while the rest of the matters just came in. Then it was Von's birthday party. I was really apologetic that I couldn't stay through. Initially I even wanted to back our from my attendance, because I must go to the concert. But she's already so nice to shift the cake-cutting forward! Omg. A friend I want to keep forever. :) So in the end I agreed to be late for my concert. And I think it's worth it. :)
Then before that was movie and high-tea/dinner with my buddies Via and Mel. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, the much awaited one. I would have watched it earlier if not for the early arrangement. Haha! Many might have felt that it wasn't up to their standard, but I think it was good! I have my anxiety moments, my touching moments, my happy moments. Seriously I have nothing much to ask for. And don't you feel like watching Harry Potter all over again?
Then a meal at Sun and Moon @ Wheelock Place. Nice! Everything we had tasted good! Great sushi, sushi mixed rice (it's really damn good), and dessert!! The crepe cake is really nice!! I still have a slice of it in my fridge. Haha! Next time Hokkaido fair must buy more. :D Ok, we can always go back to Sun and Moon to eat it. Heh.
Ok, back to the concert. The pianist is totally too awesome! His fingers are like so fast! And played so clear. Omg I love the 4th movement. I was totally looking at how his hands move over the keys. How did he even do it. I wished I had learnt a bit of piano last time. Never could do it myself. He was quite nice too, took a group photo. Reminds me of the Lang Lang concert too. Hais, why are these pianist so zai?!
All rights. I have my share of fun these days. Shall update more soon! :D

Sydney/Melbourne 11-21 June: Prologue
It was a great trip, even with some hiccups here and there. We are probably not experienced enough, well, I'm supposed to be the most experienced traveller among us, but I guess I didn't do enough during the trips with my parents to apply it here. Some unhappy moments but we all learned from it.
A lot a lot of activities. In fact, we planned too much for us to take. So it was kinda insufficient. I may want to go back again. But not anytime soon. Too many places I want to go.
But there were some experiences so nice I think I will never forget. :)
Stay tuned for more! It could take some time. hee.

电视迷上身了
最近事情少了,能做闲事的时间多了。能追看电视的时间也多了。
我本来就有点‘电视迷’,而且喜欢做couch potato, 平时工作的时候,加上每天不同的业余,根本没有时间看电视一眼。现在既然小有时间及闲情,当然要看够本啦!

The hot topic
It's the General Elections season, so being a Singapore citizen, I should be concerned right?
Too many people, too many concerns. Oh, and some complaints too.

SYF 2011 - 2
两年一度的中学中央评审就在今天‘放榜’的时候画上句点了。今年因为有时间,所以三天都准时到场,56所中学,只有一所没看/听,因为太累,太饿,所以先跑了。
Like my FB status, "OMG. 3 full days at SYF is likea crazy. I listened to 55 征s, 3 秦兵s, 3 movements of 拉萨行, 3 out of four seasons, 2 太阳s, 2 飞天s, 2 阿佤山s etc etc. Yup. There's only 1 school i didn't catch. HAHA!"
Even I'm amazed by myself. LOL!

SYF 2011 - 1
Even though it's only after the 2nd day of CO SYF Central Judging, I have to say that CO standards in Singapore is really increasing like don't know what. We no longer have the situation whereby you twitch at every other school because of their super out-of-tune suona. Most of the schools could handle their suonas decently. Definitely a good thing. I'm totally not a fan of the instrument, but since it's inside the orchestra, it shouldn't be bringing the overall down. Luckily, we have quite tremendous improvements in handling the instrument now. I'm quite surprised actually. Apparently some schools performed out of our expectation! Usually good. Wow.
But of course, here, we are excluding the fact that they practice for this SYF only and they might not be able to play any other songs. At least it shows the potentials.
We'll see the last day, it's where a number of past Gold and GWH schools meet together. Almost the whole day is like exciting!
It's really tiring to listen to all the schools. The judges are really li hai. haha!

It's the end of it.
Everything seems so fast. I think we all didn't have the time to react. At least not me. It feels like I still have a lot of things undone. And haven't gotten everything settled. Looks like I have to go back to at least tie up the loose ends. Some stuff i haven't really hand over? Hmm.. Omg. Sometimes I think I'm a irresponsible worker. And maybe that's the reason why I wasn't given the offer anymore? It's not officially the end yet, but quite there.
Anyhows, 看开 already lah. It's not the kind of things that is in my total control, whatever comes, I just have to take it, right? 现在是抱着‘船到桥头自然直’,‘水来土掩,兵来将挡’,还有一点听天由命的心情看待。真的,说的是容易,做一定做得到吗?But then again, 一直以来我的工作运都还蛮烂的,可以一辈子不工作吗?=x But I need a rich husband first. That's like harder than looking for a job, because my 财运 and 爱情运 is even worse I think. Omg. I don't know what I can depend on actually. Kind of sad to know. Bahhh....
But I hope that the rush in leaving everything there doesn't affect their work. I guess they will still do well, without me, and with a new staff. I'm not irreplaceable anyway. And true enough, it's time for me to move on perhaps. I tend to stay in my comfort zone if I can. And I could have just 赖着不走 even though it's a 不怎么样的工作. HAHA. Maybe I should start getting used to moving around.
Erm. I don't what is installed for me in future yet, or if there's anything installed at all. Actually more like what I have installed myself for. I hope I'm not going to have any regrets giving such a big promise to it. :)
I'm tired. Need to sleep. Forever also can. =x

累
I wondered when I could be relieved. I hope soon. Everything going through my mind is so uptight. 真的,眉头会不知不觉的深锁。等我发现的时候,不知已经锁了多久。我并不喜欢这样的感觉,也应该没有人喜欢吧。如果发现自己的眉头有锁起来了,我会用手把它匀开,还提醒自己不要一直这样,但没办法耶!
Do some homework, waiting for responds. Definitely not the period of time I like, but yup, like I said before, no choice. Have to continue to find and then wait again.
I don't want to explain so much and again anymore.
That's it. I'm tired.

Pre-concert 2011
Support SYCO Concert - Dauntless Spirit 2011! :)))
Last rehearsal tomorrow before concert. I hope it's going to be good. I'm actually having quite high expectations for the concert. And I'm glad that my sisters and close friends are coming. Parents not going because my mum can't go so my aunt is going, and my dad gave up his ticket for my aunt's friend. I was quite happy to hear that my aunt wants to watch actually. :)
Nice songs we are going to perform and I'm so looking forward to Minhui's concerto. Preparing to see her shine on stage! Omg I think I totally sound like my child is one performing. HAHA. Anyhow, I think the concerto are going to be fantastic! And I think the whole concert is going to be cool!
Anyway it's the 3rd consecutive years I'm sitting with Zhangls. So lucky right. No matter where I was sitting these 3 years, I met him at the seats. Haha. Such coincidence can. Can't believe my luck. But it was all right, at least not as stress as the first time. And the song was quite all right. Some parts I need to keep reminding myself. Heh.

Time's up, game over.
I believe that everyone will meet with changes in life. Somehow I just have to face it more often. I don't like changes as often as this, but I will take it with stride. I mean there's nothing I can do to stop it now anyway right?
That day I was still talking with Via and saying like it's almost a year I'm here. And indeed, the 1year is ending and never continuing anymore. A bit disappointed, but it serves as a good decision making point. I wouldn't say that I'm prepared to stay in this job for long, but I didn't expect that it would be this fast. And the reason why I didn't want to leave as yet was because I wanted the whole experience of the work from the starting of the year till the end. Involved in a whole year's work. And I can tell people, 'yah, I've been through all of it'. But it's not going to come true then. It's fine, it's just life and people telling me, 'yes, you need to change'. Actually I have friends telling me that all along.
After this I actually hope I can jump out of the box. I hope I will still be able to remain in the arts. But hopefully not in a different field of arts. Erm, yup I hope. And then I'm thinking of the other thing that I have been wanting to do. Maybe I can start doing it already! Since I will no longer be associated like now. Hope so! :)
Okay, I'll start looking. And thanks to friends whom shown your concerns (you know who you are), I appreciate it. But I must say I'm the kind of person who is not good at both the giving and receiving end of consolation. And the more consolation I get, the easier I breakdown. So it's okay, just pray for me k. Thank you very much.

Plans to Fly
To prevent myself from forgetting to blog about my trip this june, I've decided to bring my lappy there. And hopefully we'll have places that have wifi for me to use. HAHA or well, at least I can save all those stuff in my com first. :)
I'm super looking forward to the trip and it still seem so far from now. And I'm going to meet my cousin there too! I haven't seen him for the longest time! Excited to see everything there!
Plus that day I was chatting with my colleague, asking if she's going anywhere after this very busy period for them. She spoke about where she's going and we talked about some of the places we've been to and about my coming trip also. Actually I'm really happy that I'm going on a trip like that, with just a few close friends. (Finally got rid of my sister? lol I'm evil but well there are already 4 or us the optimal number of travelers so we are fine) And we did all the planning on our own! (Although I kind of phased out last week towards the end of the day with the 2 girls haha paiseh) But I'm sure all of us are looking forward.
And it's the 2nd time I'm traveling with exactly the same people! The last time was 2002! WOW! And that was only a 3D2N (I think) at Malacca. Still during our schooling years. With Via to HK a few years back, Genting with Ling and Horng last year. All the short trips. So this time it's the furthest and longest we are going so far. All hail to our friendship all these years. Actually too bad the others can't go with us. Well, can only say it's really difficult for a big group like ours to be moving around together.
Anyhows, there's still some finalising and planning needed. Time to sleep first! Nights.

What does Expensive Hobby brings
Aiyo.. This is so irritating. Why is my hobby so expensive?
And worse, I know I will feel damn bad if I miss any of them. Like just how I had regrets for some of the shows I didn't have chance to attend or don't have money to attend. Now that I'm financially independent, I can, just that is that all I want to spend on. The fact is that I've spent a lot of money lately and I haven't even paid for my air ticket yet! I'm screwed. :(
First there are pop concerts. Then there's musicals and there are concert! like OMG. I want to watch Lion King for sure. But the most affordable + still can see price is like $125?! What kind of affordable is that? :( But I'm sure I want to watch. It's like my favourite cartoon! And I remembered how I was introduced to the show plus my favourite Simba soft toy (which was lost already) :(
Yup then after listening to 933 today, talking about 881, it seems interesting too! They say it's the musical which runs the longest up-to-date. And one of the important actor is actually... My favourite again! hahahaha. So how to resist you tell me?
Then after that another friend asked if I want to go watch The China Madman - Dick Lee recital. RAH! Hello, stop giving more things to watch. How to miss Dick Lee's performance when I already missed once the last time. But then again, it's the first one I would consider to miss. Afterall, it's because I love musical that's why I never like to miss the previous 2. Difficult decision(s).
The saddest thing: I have very little resistance against things like that. Well, I can only say, sometimes when a Gemini have doubts in things like that, actually he/she already made a decision. Hard to understand? I keep saying I don't know if I should go, don't know if I want to go. In fact, I already had a decision right from the start. Just that I feel helpless having that kind of decision?
It's just like I was deciding whether to buy a MacBook Pro or a normal PC, I actually already had my decision. But I wouldn't admit until the very last minute? I guess that's how we work.
Right. I'm really like tired now. Let's make the decision another day! (Remember: the decision has already been made. HAHA)

The I AM night WE ARE waiting for!
The 3rd time he's staging a full length concert in Sg, and the 3rd time I'm watching a full length concert of his. :) I'm happy and excited ttm prior to the concert. I don't need to have any expectations of him because I know it will be good. :) And just hoped that he will sing all the songs that I would like to hear although i know not all of them will be sung. But no matter what, I AM there. :D
It was truly a high high high night! :D Enjoyed myself so much, it didn't feel like the night has passed. I'm sure no one there would want the night to end. HAHA!
I know that it's a non-photography event but usually they allow digital camera, so i had some photos in low quality. But most of the time I'm using all my energy to look at him and listen to him.

Apple!!! I Love! :D
Actually I've never imagined that I will really buy a MacBook. But I did! And to my surprise, I actually have quite a few Apple products. HAHA. And the addiction for Apple products came from the first one I ever got - iPod Nano 1st gen. I would have never gotten it on my own. It was a free gift from signing up for the internet connection. Never regretted doing that. And it lasted me for about 3years? Good enough i guess, because my friend who had the same one already changed to a new generation for quite some time by then.
And then I gotten a iPod Shuffle free (again), from doing a survey in Lasalle. And it was kind of a lucky draw. So I guess I was lucky for that once. HAHA. Now it still can be used. But not so much in usage, because of the next in line.
Finally I bought my first iPod (Touch). :) It's a total love really. Although can only use wifi but I thought of all these when I bought it. Got it about 2 months plus into my job. The first expensive thing I bought for myself as a reward, (just an excuse actually. Heh.) But it was really the best buy I had then. :))) But now it's a different story already! Haha! Oh, still loving it anyway. Just that shortly after I bought it, they launched the 4th generation. TSK.
And then now, I have a MacBook Pro! :DDD I really took a long time to decide on which one i should get. And sua ku me didn't know that there's no normal black MacBook anymore. -.- And seriously I loved that MacBook ever since I used it during internship at Lasalle. But that was so long ago. Yup. So things do change. HAHA. And then i was contemplating to get the normal white MacBook since it's so much cheaper. But in the end. 反正都要花那个钱了,就一次过吧。Yup, which is really so much of a one time spending. Later will explain.
Last one is iPhone 4! And actually the phone is supposed to be earlier than the lappy, but I did something a bit stupid, so yup, the phone will only come on Monday! and I can only use on Tues then. :( And even sadder because my phone is really dying. And I very scared it cannot 撑过这个周末. :( Ok, I'm waiting for Monday to come! And welcome new Apple product to the family. HAHA! When it's here I will post up photo of them together, but need to go and find my old one first. Heh.
Ok, that's all because my lappy is going to be empty batt in like 8min. Nights folks.

难以抉择 1 - 不开心的事
Today is the day i really felt like strangling my student. I really felt like asking him to get out of my class. I would have done that if he's my private student. Seriously. If the student don't see the need to listen and learn, then what for I waste all my energy after the already long day at work?
I take teaching as a passion and something I like to do. I'm happy when I see the kids learn and are able to play a song properly. However, I don't know if I'm just really that unlucky to get students of such. The 2 that were gone are also like that! I seriously don't know if it's just the kids nowadays or is it me.
So to speak the truth, I was really very disheartened when the kid treated the lesson like that. Although I'm sure he's rather scared after I flare up and didn't want to talk to him. He quieten down and immediately played better though not fantastic. I had no choice but to tell his mother about that. And I really felt better, it's like at least a 交待 to the parents about what is going on in the class. I would very much like his parents to sit in the class. But it wouldn't be a long term solution. And kids tend to hate this kind of things to happen?
Nowadays kids are just getting smarter and smarter, which leads to cheekier and naughtier too. Or is it just my students? 4 out of 5 are like that! So kudos to primary school teachers. Luckily I didn't go for the NIE primary school teacher interview (I may not get it as well). I remembered when I go and learn violin last time, I didn't even dare to talk back or defy my teacher. I don't even dared to talk to my teacher unless he asked. And strict training means strict training. I didn't like it 100% but i learned well! Like what are the kids doing today?
Even the quiet student doesn't register whatever I say. Many times, I told him that if he reaches earlier than me, take out his violin to practise! And I only think it's logical because to speak the truth, I don't think any of the students are able to fork out the time to practise at home everyday. So I'm already giving some chance to self-practise and get a little more recollection before the lesson starts. And I told them straight, they don't practise enough at home, so might as well use the time to quickly take out violin and start practising! I remember that's what I always do for my lessons whenever I didn't practise well enough. I would pray that my teacher doesn't come into the room so soon so that i have more time to warm up and look at the notes again. Then my student, every week I go into the room, he will just be sitting there doing nothing. Why ah?
Then 15min into the lesson or less, you can see signs of student showing tiredness, keep hinting through the painful sound, and can't wait to keep. Naughty one will just start talking, start playing a fool, and start pressing the piano. (I never ever touched my teacher's piano when he's around unless to tune). And keep wanting to sit down! Why do I meet such monsters?
I nearly cried in front of my student. Too stress I think, and I was thinking of something else also. But perhaps he'd be scared at the sight and start to listen to me? I don't know. But I don't want to take the risk.
And these students are the very reason why I'd rather give up the income from teaching and the joy to teach, compared to SYCO. If only they knew how to appreciate the effort. Plus, I don't stay in Yishun, rather, not even anywhere near, and I've been going there faithfully to teach all those demons. But every time I felt so drained from the lessons I think they are not worth it. But i know that SY is the place that eventually I will have to let go, so it's just a dilemma altogether. But the thing is if I continue to stay like that, I will never be able to progress well enough for both the CO and my own lessons. I feel guilty for not playing every time I go to lesson. Why don't my students feel that? :(

Change of blog add!
A sudden decision to change my blog add.. It's been with me for the past 6 years! Not exactly, but it was also in the month of March! Such coincidence.
And this happens to be the 701th post? So, time to do a little change.
Reason to change the add: (1) To move on for what i've experienced in life for these years (2) A little change to how i want to present myself in the blog
Yup, so if you have come to this page, thank you for still following me. :)
