New Shoes. Mooncakes. :)

Eh.. realised i haven't been blogging for a few days... well... cos lately i've been spending more than half of my online time to play ard with Facebook. =P It can be quite fun for ppl having a bored life like me. haha! Many different things to do..

Not going to blog much today either... Cos i'm tired already.. But i'm very proud to announce that I've gotten myself a new pair of shoes!!! Puma! YEAH. Finally... after i left the broken pair in HK... i've got one less choice whenever i go out and when i feel like wearing sneakers or covered. i just have nothing else comfortable. but now. no worries. Heex! Ok... apparently i'm not very sure if mummy is going to sponsor me with that... she promised! but she said now i started working le.. got pay so dun need liao. dotx. mothers. but ahem... i'm going to sa jiao at her until she does. haha! Er. i think so. =P

Thanks sylvia for shopping ard with me. But we were both happy when we settled down at Ikea restaurant with meatballs, poached salmon, chicken wings, daim cake and cheese cake. and green tea. wah liao. i think we ate a lot lor. haha. Was very full after that. but that was really satisfying lah. =x

Then er-jie came back with mooncakes! YEAH. hahaha... mid-autumn festival is coming. but wun be able to celebrate with the big grp of ppl (mum's friends) on 22nd cos of the gig Anthea offered me. But well... i'm looking forward to the gig too. so what's to complain? i can come back right after that to join them for the last bit i guess... lol. Nvm abt that... what's more impt is we have mooncakes to eat! finally cos we finished the box i bought from HK like more than 1week ago... should've been faster. how nice if there can be like East Ocean's snow skin mooncake throughout the year? haha!! But maybe if it's like that i wun appreciate it as much? Hmm... well.. who knows cos we know that mooncakes dun exist in the market throughout the year! ok.. crap. enough crap i mean.

All in all.. today (thurs) is a happy day.. hopefully tmr too.. and the rest of the week too! Time to sleep. nitex.

Last SYCO performance for the year!

Wanted to blog when i came back... but i eh... felt asleep while i was watching tv instead... haha! Was watching bruce almighty... but 20min into the movie or lesser... be4 he became 'god'.. i already felt asleep on parents' bed. and i could hardly open my eyes. haha. i was really tired...


Anyway... am really happy today... the fun always comes when it's the concert day... 2nd time on the Esplanade stage... and we took photos on the stage! Yeah.. :))) haha. Boyi and sylvia's idea... but quite fun. cos we were watching the perc ppl practising their drama at the same time... Yiheng and Kangren so funny lah... i think they redo the front part for 8000 times... trying to improve it under Ms Teo's supervision.. haha! But i guess they did quite well during the concert itself... although we couldn't hear them from the back stage at all.. too bad. But time passed really fast.... it was only the start of the concert and soon it's the end. But well done all! :)

Met the whole big grp at city hall mrt and walked over tgt with them... cool. thou waited for a while... got to talk all along the way... speaking abt hk camp with des and changle again. tsk tsk. plus jojo as well... and realised some funny stuff... haha.. but anyway... end year hk trip idea is scraped cos of some difficulty encountered by some of us... me as well.. cos been there twice this year. next year i guarantee i can make it. :)


The concert itself was ok i guess... except for some small mistakes here and there... hopefully not too obvous. haha! but i think the effect was good. :) And response was good too... i didn't rmb we had so many audiences the last year... i was really touched at the end of the concert when i saw the no. of hands clapping for us. This is the first time i saw so many ppl watching our performance.. Am really happy! Happy that i know most of my classmates were there watching us too... getting to know and listen to chinese music.. letting me have the chance to share with them my interest. :) On the other hand... feeling a pity that everything has come to an end.. like the one hour passed so fast! Be4 we realised... the whole thing ended. haix. Thou i could safely say that this year is not as fun as the last... i treasure the time with all these members, friends that i managed to make. Looking forward to our next outing! :)))


Just like that... another year of syco passed... marks the end of my 3rd with the grp... Hmm... i asked my mum abt still joining next year or not... she asked to continue. maybe she's right... after all when i get to level 3 mos probably i wun be able to join anymore cos of all the night classes... nonetheless.. i'm feeling very uncertain abt this whole thing. i dunno why. Perhaps due to the conductor issue and abt who's joining and who's not (this is impt cos it determines the possible level of fun and standard)... But if i'm really going... i make sure that i'm performing my best for the audition. if not.. forget abt it.


Just be4 we left Esplanade... and be4 we have to say goodbye to our conductor... we had grp photo.. like finally. cos he refused to let us take grp photo during the annual concert? it should be a better one then... hmm.. anyway.. haven't get hold of the pictures yet.. till then... we took this with ku laoshi be4 the concert started..



Gaohu section with jinjia coming in at the very last second. haha!

Subway with the usual ppl... plus some ppl who came to support us.. joel, zhiwen, junyuan, jessly and zixin.. Thanks for coming even thou prelims are tmr! Good Luck for the papers.. whether they need it or not. heex. laughter and all again.. take photos... and drag time and whatever... but i think it's always fun with them... even though when there's trouble... they are being forgotten for the time being.


Ahem... the 2nd happy thing. Thou i couldn't make it to the JJ party 2.. Dunno how fantastic it is... must admit that i want both physical and mental memory of the event lah. but can't help it that it has to be such coincidence with our performance. I must thank my dearest sister for making the effort to do this for me... HEEx.


The 2nd album i have with his signature! :)))


Anyway... they're back... hmm... nice weekend anyhows... be it at work or at home or at performance. not many customers at work... but nice chatting with the colleagues and stuff... but dunno why i'm still the target of bully. it's weird isn't it? dotx. dunno where i working next week... hopefully somewhere nice. haha! Suntec? i really dun mind there.. more fulfilling thou tiring.


Seriously u dun want to know what time it is now... 1.10am. Lol! not that i spent such a long time typing... ok.. quite long but be4 that i was talking to a few ppl at the same time on msn lah. haha. so after all the silence then i start typing. anyway... should go now... lessons tmr morning... haven't do my stuff yet... shall do it on the bus journey. =x Nitex!!

Just random. Internet reborn.

Finally i'm back with blogging... Haix. Encountered lotsa problems... Know what happened? The day after i blogged the last entry.. The next day.. the modem went dead again.. the person says might be adaptor prob.. Then i dunno what happened... the whole modem just went blank.. then went to the service centre AGAIN. To our (the technician and me) horror.. the modem started to smoke when i he plug in his working adaptor. DOTX. I think i geiqiang.. haha! Anyway the conclusion was.. i should buy a new modem... being anxious in getting my internet back... i went on to get one on my own... $100+ gone again... thankfully er-jie sponsored $100. heex. i'm really broke liao... even be4 my pay and allowance come to me. haix!

But the problem didn't stop here... i called Singnet twice and my com technician once... and aztech numerous times (w/o them picking up at all)... be4 i can really connect to the internet... in the end was singnet solving my prob. dunno why the first time the person didn't attend to me with the same qns. Well... at last i got my problem solved! :) And now... back to normal surfing life. heex!

Anyway... Freedom again.. just for 2 nights... dad and mum and da-jie went genting plus KL? i dunno where exactly they went lah... with a whole grp of ppl. leaving er-jie and i at home anyway... so her bf came over. well. so much for it... expected lah. but ok.. i got the room to myself.. for once. perhaps i will feel what i yearn for.. and decide whether that's really what i want... Well.. maybe. :) BUT too bad... work tmr and performance on sun... not much time at home either. Been out since early for most of the days this week. well.. last week too... hope next week will be better. haven't got any work shifts yet. dunno why. sianx. hopefully can get more shifts and well... in turn more money. haha!

Getting really tired. esp. when there're 3 syco practices this week. super tiring lah... But well... can't complain... Performance is this sunday... and today's (fri) the last practice.. For the performance and for this year as well... After sunday.. we say goodbye to syco 2007. Will i say hello to syco 2008... it's still a mystery.. even to myself. Should i stay for another year? or should i just let go? i know there's something, some reason that i wanted to stay.. but what if after staying for one year.. i want to stay for another year? i dun want to dilemma to come all over again. Maybe beautiful sunday can help me decide... how? only my heart will know.

Ok.. that's all for now. Nitex.

If There're Seasons

I think the happiest thing that happened over the weekend was... i went to watch this with via and ling.. It was their last show for this season. It's not a delibrate decision to watch the last show. but we were actually left with not much choice. or rather. no choice. But glad thou.. at least we got to see it. :) My sisters and my mother got so jealous when i came back and asked me how come i didn't buy tickets for them or didn't ask them to go... But i hinted so many times already! dotx.




After much anticipation... finally and unfortunately.. it's over. the songs are cool. that's no doubt. the actors are good! My fav is of cos 陈瑞彪 (Sebastian Tan)... er. ever since long ago lah.. and that's one the reasons why i insisted on watching this show cos i missed too many of his musicals already... and i dun think i can afford missing another one. Moreover.. in my memory i haven't really seen any chinese musicals be4. After watching this show. i really have the urge to start getting in touch with the company and such... And in fact. i'm going to do so. :)


Ok.. back to the show. Even though Sebastian (A-Qiang) not like the main main character of the musical... I still like his singing lah. A singer after all... A winner of a singing competition after all... Yeah.. :) George Chan (A-Le) was not bad too... had to switch between current and pass for a few times. Ok. This is becos his ex-girlfriend (Xiao Jing) was dead already. In between, there was some recollection scenes. So the thing is that the actor(s) has to change their expressions and mood in a split second so that the audiences would know what's happening. And i think they did it quite well.. But of cos in addition, the lightings changed when he start thinking of the past scenes lah. Joanna Dong (Rose) sang very well.. I think everyone already said that when she got into the 30finalists of Singapore Idol 2005. but i didn't watch SI.. so i will just say it now.. She got a really clear and powerful voice. Every word and note is clearly projected and presented to the audience. The cast wasn't very big... but i felt that they brought life to the stage. with all the chorus singing and dancing.


The one thing that is more touching is to know that this LOCAL CHINESE musical is getting a full house for their shows. Even the Drama Center wasn't big like Esplanade.. it has its numbers. and i think it's commendable for a chinese musical. what more to say a local one. Yes.. we see typical singaporeans in the show.. the typical way a typical singaporean will speak and act. But they are mature actors and actresses too! As the papers (Lian He Zao Bao) has published and say that there's kinda like a revival of chinese musicals with the recent Li Da Sha and this If There're Seasons... i would like to agree with it too.. And i'm excited to see more of such works coming up...


The music for this musical.. what more can i say abt them? They are all written by the established song writer.. Liang Wen Fu. my sisters' fav. I was too young then. All the XinYaos... thou there were some i've nv heard be4... most of them were familiar to my ears. It's like a reminiscence time when the actors started singing older works of his. Wow! like they made use of so many songs in this short 2h show! 35 in all! Some of them were my favs too. haha. Great gratitude for his contribution to the chinese music industry!


Then for the script.. seriously we are amazed.. he actually wrote and arranged the musical out of so many songs of Liang.. was thinking of how he chose them and arrange them and write a story that could link the songs together. Becos the songs are all ready-made.. it makes it more difficult to fit each song into a perfect situation. After reading the interview with the script-writer in the prog booklet. Got clearer of the picture. 50 songs out of 100+ to Liang's preference were chosen for him to write the script with. It makes things easier but still.. not that easy. But i think everything flow every well... there's no question mark of why is the song used at that very moment of the musical or whatsoever. So i'm totally impressed.


If i can work with them for even once... i'll be floating all over. haha! Anyway to those who missed it like my sisters. Well... u can wait till 2009. Think they will rerun the show again... WEll.. hopefully again. Perhaps i will give it another shot. :)



ps: you dun want to know how long i took to type all these.
pps: 'If There're Seasons'... I dun want Yeo's. LOL!! ok. i like yeo's better =x

Some domestic matters.

Yeah!! Miraclely... my modem is working now!! Wasted my time to bring it down to the service centre... i was so pissed cos it seems working fine using their adaptor, cable and everything. Then i dunno what happened but the other lights just suddenly lid up after i connect to the laptop for a while... so i tried with my desktop again. well! Tada. :) Sudden magic. haha.

There's so many things i want to blog abt!! Anyway. School first... These 2 weeks. we got 2 attachment talks to listen to... and of cos.. we will be attached to 2 different events in Oct. Feeling quite excited and looking forward to them thou i know that it's really going to be a tough period to deal with. But I do like challenges. Or at least... i have to learn to like challenges. and i think somehow it developed a bit ever since i started working at samsonite cos every day is really a new challenge. I rmb not liking changes of any kind to my life.. to anything i planned. i think i need to adapt to it for the sake of my future. :)

It was an early day... walk out of school with caiwen, khai and weixuan. walked all the way to dhoby ghaut since we went to get rochor daohuay... well... it really feels good to be able to spend time with friends. even for that little while. what mattered the most was the interaction made possible through all these little times.

Anyway... last week our lecturer introduced this website to us during our lecture break.. after seeing khai playing facebook. haha. Ok.. Facebook is quite fun... but i dun really have all the time and energy (mental) to play it... just like once in a while kind of thing. Anyway... the website she gave was really quite cool and it's called 'wefeelfine'. click here to access. u'll be surprised. go explore when u have the time and dunno what to do online. :)

Attitude problems?

I promise to go change my modem soon.. so that i can blog properly at my desktop... i really want to blog everything that happened... happiness.. tiredness... frustrations and whatever. By wed i promise lah. argh.

Sometimes i really hope i could read ppl's mind and have a solution for anything that can change them for the better. I didn't mean to be so bu shuang... but well... if that's the attitude some ppl want to give.. why can't the other ppl give back the same attitude too? I believe in 'do unto ppl as you want ppl to do unto you'. Serious. ppl who are in the wrong first have the cheek to well... blame the person who merely show the accumulated frustration. I couldn't tell what made the changes in attitude.. well. perhaps the change in OUR attitude first.. Of cos. it wasn't their fault.. but if they had came more frequently.. the mistake might have been changed earlier. Isn't it? So i dun see why the kind of lousy attitude upon being asked to change it. Sometimes it doesn't feel good to be pulled down by the others... but afterall we are all in the same grp which IS SUPPOSED to bring everyone together... ok. used to be... dun really feel it anymore.

Of cos... when i started typing this. i'm well aware of any lousy consequences... but i believe in speaking my mind. so i dun care.. like what ppl always say.. this is my blog. if other ppl can say anything in their blog. why can't i? Moreover.. i didn't use any aggressive language and extremes.

Haix. what has the world become? 有时候人生真的很无奈。也许大家需要一点冷静的时间。也许一切以后都不一样了。好可惜。

Nothing else to say le. it's going to end soon. I really have to give serious thoughts abt the future. haix.

Missing the teachers..

Of cos... today is Teachers' Day! Well... i so wanted to go back to sac... i think i miss my teachers there... should have woke up earlier ytd morning to go over to sac be4 heading for work... but i totally forgot after work ytd... HAIX. When will i have time to go back... and when will the teachers have time for me?

It's really been years since i last went back to my former schools... ALL of them... rss, sacss and nyjc. of cos it applies esp. to rss... the last time i went back.. i think it was sec1 or 2... =X omg... so bo xim right. haix. actually i do miss the teachers who taught me be4.. but then again. i always wonder where are they now... still teaching? retired? I'm only sure that han laoshi is still teaching in rss. Hmm... i decided that i'm so going to get her contact from liu laoshi. since we just mentioned abt her lately...

I miss ye laoshi's interesting and engaging chinese lessons.. i miss mr tan's full of laughter science and english lessons... mr gan's fun maths lessons. miss the times we smuggle food and drinks into class and worse.. eating them during class... miss my maths teachers.. instilling the interest for maths in me... and the chinese teachers too... and mr khoo who left after teaching my p3 class. he's really nice. and those relief/temp/trainee/ teachers... always managed to get in contact with them pretty much! and of cos miss the times in co! with mingyan... with my seniors, juniors, and the days i played double bass... and the days we were learning from mr low and mr quek... evening thou i met them and learn from them later... it's just different... really. that's so much abt pri sch?

Sec school.. what more can i say. i miss my sec3&4 teachers!! Esp. Mr. Robb.. cos i know that it's rather impossible to see him again since he already resigned and went back to new zealand... and then.... ms chua, mrs heng, mrs boo, mrs yong, ms tan, ms lim and many others... tsk tsk. I wasn't really a good student back then lah... but it's very good to know that the teachers are very forgiving and i think they already forgot that i always sleep during class... =x

Finally when we talk abt nyjc.. who can replace lin laoshi, xu laoshi and mr bong? reminds me of the accounts lecturer for my accounting module now. his name is like TL's name and bong's surname combine. lol! but i think he's far less interesting than the above 2... and that's not very good. cos lessons are very dry... till only a few from the class turned up the last time. at least very few came on time. dotx. anyways... side-tracked. haha!

For all i hope... wish the teachers who taught me before a very very happy teachers' day! And now is their one week hol le... hope they will enjoy the weekend at least.. and hopefully seeing them coming to Isetan and buying luggage from me. lol! =P Eh.. teachers of lim wan ying... pls come to Scotts Isetan on sat from 2 to 9.30pm 4th level Event Hall... and see me! haha. ok. crap.

Ok lah.. tired liao... but i really hope that my teachers.. pass and present are doing well... And have good students like me. haha! ok lah. i'm not one... :)

Nitex. And well.. happy birthday to chinteck and my godma.... and happy belated birthday to jocelyn and jianyuan! :))

Hairspray! Pssss...

Anyway... amidst all these busy days... i still managed to catch a movie. in the expense of a dinner at home. and of cos.. some money. haha! but i'd say i didn't regret it.

(picture from Hairspray blog)

It's a show full of actions... not the pew pew bang bang bom bom kind lah... haha. but since it's a dance show... it starts with a partly song, partly dance and partly jumping and running... then ended with a dance and kiss too. Nikki Blonsky (acting as Tracy) is very adorable and i wonder if she was really that big sized cos her butt is really big... but the thing is that she really give all her might to dance... with passion and rich expressions. makes ppl want to dance along.. haha. John Travolta (acting at Tracy's mother) was super funny. esp. after all the stuffings... he/she is really BIG. He/She (wah liao... i dunno should address the character or the real person. dotx.) has a very wide range of expressions to perform... i think the most memoriable one was he/she being shy. really funny lah. Zac Efron (Link Larkin) is very charming... and he really has blue eyes. wow. i think that's the reason ba. cos i dun like his hair in the show... looks like superman to me. lol. makes me want to watch high school musical badly cos he's in it. Had always wanted to watch lah... well well... presenting to u... Link Larkin. :)

(picture from official Hairspray movie website)

But hor... after looking at some of his pictures hor... i think like that more charming leh... or at least.. he looks better with short hair... heex.

Err... sorry... back to the movie... It seems something similar to Dreamgirls... full of music and dances.. It's again.. a movie abt the blacks and whites. but something is a bit different.. dreamgirls is really extreme whites for whites and blacks for blacks... while in Hairspray... Tracy loves the blacks' dance and music... crossed the borders and went to the blacks' town... helped them march to the tv station.. and changed the whole discrimination thing going on for the tv show. BUT but but.. she's one of the only few that supported the blacks... of cos we have to include penny for falling in love with a black even with the total dissapproval of her mum. Not as touching i would say.. maybe cos i was too tired... maybe it's not meant to be touching... aiya.. i didn't find any crying point lah... (maybe there wasn't any) unlike dreamgirls... u should see the way somebody laughed at me when i took out tissue paper. dotx.

All in all... I think it's still worth watching after all lah. esp. if u like dance.... and i still think it's magnificant to see a lot of ppl dancing the same steps altogether... very nice! :)

Argh.. so many movies to watch... dun really have time this coming week.. unless at the expense of another home meal... :( Btw... Evan Almighty will be the next.. or maybe Ratatouille... Well.. must they come out on the same day? And after all.. i didn't watch Jay Chou's The Secret... so i dunno what's the secret that cannot be told!!! DOTX. i'm w.o.l.s. sianx.

Ok.. tired liao... it takes a lot of resources to type this entry...

Bad life.

Ok... i so wanted to update ytd... abt lotsa things... but i couldn't connect to the net... kept on saying that my network cable is unplugged... i was so angry... i went to sleep.

Then today u came back and called singnet.. after all the talking to the person... he said that he think it's my modem's problem.. so i think it died. DOTX. After less than 2 years. haix. and the thing is i dun have time to handle it during office hours for the next few days... how?!

Anyway... other stuff... i also lazy to type leh. Lessons on mon to wed as usual lor. but tues was quite bad cos mary told me that i should sleep earlier on mon nights. haha! But i guess i can't help it... even i sleep enough... i dun think it will change anything. Haha. Shhhss....

Well... just one more week to go be4 beautiful sunday... BUT. i dunno if i mentioned this. even if i did... i want to say it again. BUT i can't go to JJ party 2!!! ARGH. So sad and angry. WHY MUST IT BE ON BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY?!?! bish. why like that? after waiting for so long... haix. it's already a truth that i wouldn't be there... unless i can cut myself into 2 lah. dotx. and so i offered the entry pass to my sis. but she very dotx cos she's her friend but i doubt she can sing his songs lah. and i wonder if she even knows what songs are in this album. haha. ok.. i shall force her to listen be4 she goes... and bring along my cd.. in case she managed to meet him. lol. =P must make up for my absence. haha.

Today, tmr and sat (maybe) going to work.... at Isetan Scotts.. having a fair there... wow... first time i'm working out of suntec for samsonite... it's like i know nothing out of suntec branch lah. really lor. cos i really dunno anything when i get there... like where's the staff entrance.. what things i can do or cannot do... and whatever rules they have in departmental stalls lah. dotx.

Busy days yet over

I realised that i have very busy mondays to wednesdays. dotx. 10-6 for lessons on mondays.. (with some stupid long and useless break in between)... then some tiring sy prac which a lot of ppl don't treat it seriously in my opinion... like hello?! we get all the scoldings cos of the ppl who dun come regularly.. or worst. didn't come at all. so in turn making the music even worse when they actually turned up once or twice. well... i'd rather they not come at all. dotx.

Anyway. back to the topic. then 10-5 on tuesdays. that's tiring lectures.. seriously. it's not easy to sit thru the two 3hours lectures without even spacing out for a while. haha. then wed is yet another late night back... Wow.. and this is going to go on until next week. but finally.. sy is going to end this year. cannot stand the 2nd half year of this year's syco. the ppl left are like. DOTX. they make so feel like not joining next year. haix. moreover there are a lot of unseen stuff next year. can i risk it?

OMG. i think i'm sort of addicted to movies. haha! cos i'm going to watch hairspray tmr (i mean tues). =P

Argh.. tired. update again another day.

Magic words.

Did i say i was tired? ok.. i lied. Since i'm not going to sleep yet. shall blog abt this. It's more like a reply to Via's post.. she asked how much do ppl weigh 'sorry'.

To me... i would say that it depends. I realise that it's easy to say 'sorry' and forgive someone who said 'sorry' when it's just a passing matter.. like if i knocked into someone or stepped on someone... i would immediately say 'i'm sorry' without even thinking. sometimes even saying 'sorry' twice. sometimes even when it's not my fault... i apologise too. which i think it's a little stupid lah. dotx. BUT..

When it comes to a serious apology... it's really difficult for me to admit a mistake i made... it really takes a lot a lot of courage to say that word from inside the heart. Not only once in my life i made a terrible mistake or made someone angry... but i dunno how many times did i actually apologise properly. I think it's kinda ironic altogether. the ppl who said it most were nv sorry while the really sorry ones couldn't bring themselves to say it. dunno if i'm still like that now. dun rmb doing anything terribly wrong.

That goes the same for 'Thank you' too! The other one is 'I Love You' lah. these 3 are often deemed the hardest words/phrases to say. well. totally agree. if saying them is that easy... congrats to the world. but no! it's the challenge within the heart. easy to think of... hard to produce it out of the mouth. dotx.

Just to say. when saying 'sorry' (or the other 2 words/phrase.) mean it too. i think they do magic when real feelings are put into them.

*now i'm really tired. eyes closing le. =x

YES933 街头爆唱会 + work stuff

Suddenly i think i have quite a happening lifestyle.. haha! cos i went to Yes93.3fm 街头爆唱会 after work today (sat)... thou it was raining i still think such events are cool... maybe if i have a friend with me... i'll be even happier... nonetheless... i'm glad i went... thou halfway thru i really feel like giving it up and coming home. cos obviously Yanzi is going to be the finale artist... plus the rain plus my feet are really aching from the day of standing already... plus a lot of other reasons lah.. but in the end i stayed till the event was over.

Anyway i think it's worthed ba.. at least listened and watched something exclusive.. i.e. 孙燕姿 and 伍家辉 singing 一人一半 tgt on stage. how many times can u witness that? i think just this once. :) Then there's this *asTARD who came right in front of me just as yanzi waved towards the direction i was standing. then moved back to where he was after that. TaMaDe. so rude lah. and i was trying to take photo LOR. And she's so cool cos when she knew that she's one of the nominees for 最佳本地歌手 for 新加坡金曲奖 this year... she kindly declined and requested that she be the 颁奖人 instead. well well... i would just say that she's very 大方 to give the award to someone else cos she'd probably get it again afterall... and all other singers' morale would be low cos they know that they will not be 'the one'. so Ahem! does it mean that this year JJ got a very high chance of getting it? HEE.

Comparing this year's 爆唱会 to last year's... it's quite evident that we have lesser audiences this year... probably half of them were staying at home watching the campus superstar finals. but i feel that nothing is better than being at the event itself... so if i can be there.. why should i be watching tv at home? hmm.. i dunno. But it could be cos of the rain also lah. or... it could due to the staging artists... last year we had some 大牌 that could convince her whole church to support her.. so what do u think? sheeehhs... =P

Seriously i hope i'm going to WOMAD tmr. hmm... as expected.. both Swan Lake and Russian Ballet are down... haix. the dances. Argh.. i really want to watch them lah... why like that? if anyone has spare tix for swan lake or the russian ballet troupe for dans festival... erm for free.. PLEASE. approach me. I WANT TO GO! Thank u. :)

I think i said that work place was very different from last time and i felt like i'm starting all over. but after all... it didn't really change much lah. Eh. i dunno leh. i can't make up my mind whether it changed anot. well... it's not as fun as it was... i could still laugh at the colleague trying to irritate the ex-supervisor... and he in return try scolds him in anyway u think is funny. and the days always playing and joking ard with the other 2 guys closer to my age. shall not put their names down. i think i mentioned this be4... the thing abt my ex-supervisor was.. he nv scolded me be4 as far as i could rmb. probably cos he still needs me to help him dabao food quite often. haha. anyway i think he just quitted not long ago thou the others didn't tell me anything. and now the store supervisor is none other than the guy who always got scolded by him in the past. well. expected cos he's a perm at the store and i think he's the best candidate for it too.. thou he's still young. hello! only 2 years older than me? but he's in the company for 5 years already lah.

Aiya.. getting tired. and my dear sis is not back yet... and she promised to bring some donut back for me. DOTX. well.. i'm going off. nitex!

It's Friday! :)

Wee! Using laptop in the living room with wireless and watching tv (恶作剧之吻) now! yeah. Thanks to er-jie who called and figured out the whole thing. heex. Now can online anywhere in the house. heex. :)))



Anyway.. how's first day at work u might ask me.. not exactly first day lah.. like as mentioned... back there after more than a year... and super not familiar with their stuff... like i forgot everything liao lor.. but then i'm not like super memory lah... so cannot blame me also.. anyway i felt that the day went away quite fast.. not bad lah... wun be against the idea of working every weekend then... the other reason is of cos the pay lah. haha! =P



Then went over to WOMAD after work. It's interesting. Would've been there if not for SY's beautiful sunday. Of cos i'll be more happy to be part of event... but i guess i played my part being a half audience half stall-mender... the main stage area is really very high by the time the last grp of the night was performing... however. that's the end of it lah.. he dun need us to go anymore since the response wasn't up to his expectations. And be4 i left just now... i spent half of tonight's pay to buy a Clube De Balanco's cd.. cos i heard them when i passed by the main stage today and i think their music is really nice. and cos they have 2 CDs on sale.. i even asked the person which one would be a better buy. so i took the advise and.. tada! i bought it and got another calamity pop cd for free.. i dunno how. anyway i haven't listen to it lah. Will listen to it be4 i go to womad again.. (if i am). so that i can consider if i want to get the other one or anything else. $30 leh.. hopefully it's worth the money. heex. afterall i struggled for quite some time be4 deciding to buy it.



Tmr's another day of work.. And thinking of going for the Yes! 93.3fm 街头爆唱会 at millenia walk after work... dunno if anyone wants to go. but i think it should be quite high also.. well.. anyone for it? Msg me by 7pm. :) (thou i doubt so anyone would) haha.



Anyway... talking abt 恶作剧之吻.. my sis came back ytd while i was watching ytd's epi... and she asked me how many times must i watch the show... i ans.. 'countless times'.. haha! it's nice what. thou some parts are quite crap and a bit draggy. but overall i still like the show... makes me laugh out loud and cry hard too... heex. anyway.. it's showing towards the end liao. sad.. nothing to look forward to at night next time. unless of cos better shows coming after that. Today's epi ended liao... so going to sleep le.. update again. bye! :)

Starting work.

Supposed to be sleeping liao... cos the weekend is going to be a long one... tmr start working at samsonite again... but i think the experience will be a new one altogether.. cos after all.. even thou it's at the same place.... i guess many things have changed... and i've haven't been there for more than 1year... so it's like starting all over again! And no more casual dressing for work anymore. sighx. Well... good luck to me. :)

Then after that will be going over to WOMAD. supposedly till 10pm.. dun think i will leave that early.. since i know that my AM classmates will be there tmr. but.. i have to work again on sat. erm.. dunno if i can tahan... Still.. endure ba... afterall both aren't easy to come by.. Jiayou ba!

And now.. my phone still charging.. all cos of da-jie.. use my charger. tsk. ever since i put the charger in our room linking to MY table for MY convenience... the other 2 have been using... w/o even asking. dotx. shall change to other phones next time. LOL! so evil. but now what.. have to wait for it lah.. hopefully my dad will wake me up earlier. haha.

That's all lah.. i'm off to play some game michelle introduced for a while.. haha. quite fun.

Life Story

Found out something quite interesting/weird. The most common way of ppl coming to my blog is by typing lyrics of 'Life Story' or anything associating with that song like 'dick lee' or something like that in google... and then to my blog. and they are all over the world... i didn't know that song is so popular. haha!

I've uploaded a very nice a cappella (singing w/o instrument) version of Life Story by this grp called Shwing!.. it's added to my playlist... can listen to it. the lyrics is just a bit different i think... can't rmb which part. but enjoy! so in case anyone who came across this post looking for the song.. u can try ask me for it. i have 2 other versions as well. :)

License to Wed

Since laoshi postponed today's (wed) sectionals... I decided to ask sylvia to go for something else...... A Movie. Heex. And so we decided on this..

Oops.. the picture a bit small... i got it from flixster.com... from my facebook.com page.. sounds a bit complicated. haha. Anyway... It's the typical kind of romance comedy anyone can expect after watching so many.. however, it has its laughing points and touching parts. There's a good mixture of reality and fantasy in the movie, of cos making it more interesting. Although i wouldn't say it's the best show ard at this time.. the concept is still something new yea? Don't u want to find out how they got their 'license'? And don't forget... Robbin Williams always promise to evoke ur laughter. So why not? Seriously, just relax and watch. there's nothing much to think abt in the show. Well... Enjoy. :)

School. Arts.

My school is super good lah... on the first day we sat into the classroom/small lecture theatre or whatever room u call it... the newly installed chairs were spoiled.. like dotx right. But well... at least the aircon is working well... unlike ytd at the other room. totally no aircon or ventilation of any kind. dotx. have to say that the interiors of the school are not completed yet... the whole school is like covered in dust or something like that... dusty floors and chairs and toilets. haha. So much for complaining.

Anyway... coincidentally Michelle from CFA happened to be one of my lecturers for this sem.. taking us for a few weeks on history of music in singapore. and coincidentally she chose SYCO's beautiful sunday for our class excursion/field trip... of cos.. i think it's becos the performance is FOC. haha.

So many arts events tempting me lately... WOMAD's this weekend.. and i must really thank peiqian for this... that i can go to WOMAD! :))) Yeah. Then i finally bought tickets to If There's Seasons. Well... i hope it's a good show.. cos it involved a lot of checking and heartbeat-skipping during the booking process... haha. nearly no tix to buy at the desired day.. and dunno if it's a good or bad thing.. we are watching the last show. but still.. looking forward to it! :) Then for swan lake.. not so successful either. if my sis or my friend is not coming with me... i think i'll have to give it a miss... Then the dans festival.. wanted to go the Russian Ballet show... and guess what... most of the categories were sold out! and the ticketing only started like 10days ago. Big dotx.

For other arts events. forget it... i'm super broke now.. haha! BUT if u are going for some SSO performance and need company. PLEASE. ask me along. :) And if u are going for some free shows. PLEASE. ask me along too. Thank u! :)

Ruan Xian Ying Xiang

I thought i wasn't in any sleeping mood.. so i wanted to blog.. but i just yawned... dotx. so i'll just make this fast.

Basically nothing much happened today... just went out for breakfast with er-jie at the market... meeting our parents there to join them for the big feast going on for all the stadium friends... And amazingly... i sat there with them for almost 3h... doing nothing.. just chatting lah... what my parents do every morning. Came back and i was still so tired... i fell asleep while trying to find something to watch on the tv. haha. Finally woke up ard 2pm... erm... missed lunch.. but i think no one in the house had lunch today since the breakfast was hearty enough... it's been ages since i last had a good breakfast. Then it was tv for another while be4 i started to prepare to go out. that was already 4+pm. =x

So left home with that heavy rain happening outside... but.. no use of umbrella and just a few drops of rain due to edges of buildings and bus. of cos... reached parkway safely in the shuttle bus... :) And waited for sylvia to come. hohoho... i wasn't late and she was! =P Anyway... KFC for dinner and went to SCH for the ruan xian concert. Saw TaoKaiLi on 196 too... wasn't sure if that's her... but confirmed when we all alighted at the SCH bus stop. haha. so qiao.

Ok.. the concert.. the opening and ending combine songs are nice... esp. the last 3 which sounded more familiar.. at least to me. the solo songs are perhaps just not my cup of tea. it's not that they are not good lah. i dunno how to appreciate lah! dotx. but overall they are rather good. Expression of the music and everything. and i was so smart! i guessed the encore piece will be ruan zhi huo lah... haha! at first i was still thinking why they dun want to put that song to the last since it will really spice up the spirit of the whole concert. but well.. since they want to use it as encore.. they didn't put it to the last. I would say rather smart programming. including other songs too. 异想天开 by peiqian and shenfei was good. that song is cool. heex.

After that was obviously home sweet home lah... and now i'm going to hug my boster. haha! tired liao... school at 10am tmr. Haix. humans are always like that... during hols feel like going back to school... school starts already feels like having hols and staying at home. what dilemmas ppl live in.. dotx. i really wished i have no school tmr cos i need to carry that 2 instru to school again! and 3h break in btwn. tell me abt it lah. dotx.

Jazz up with Brubeck and SCO!

Realised that i have nothing much to blog abt lately... but i hope life is going to be exciting too. haha!

Anyway... today was an enjoyable evening... with the company of wonderful jazz music by Brubeck triple play... with our very own SCO. It's really amazing how the 2 combine... the few soloist from SCO - Yu Jia, Huang Chen Da and Han Lei are really fantastic... u dunno that chinese instruments can do that... i'll just say that they are pro. Han Lei's guanzi sounds exactly like a western instrument... how much work is that... the other 2 should go play fastest fingers first... they nv ever stopped... Harmonica was superb.. i think he can blow like almost everything with that little thing... i can't even get my scales right on a harmonica... dotx. The guitarist was good too lah... thou there wasn't many pieces that he has solo parts in... i must say that i admire every guitarist cos i can't play it... haha! Then.. needless to say abt Brubeck... i can't call him any -ist cos he played like 3 instrus for the night - Piano, bass trombone and electric bass... interchanging within a song... like so busy lah. But AWESOME! :))) A concert worth buying the tix in Feb.. although it was only until these few days that we heard recommendations from sco musicians.

So the conclusion is... I enjoyed the concert... it was cool and everyone likes it! :)

881

Apparently... i didn't blog when i was back... er... expected isn't it. haha!
It was a slack day... just went to watch this at cathay cineleisure... with the rest of the theatre mostly filled with aunties and some very loud uncles.. but of cos.... it's a show appealing to their age grp anyway..

Quite an interesting concept i must say... most of the show was conversed in Hokkien (usually not allowed to be broadcasted in sg)... if it wasn't my dialect... i will have to follow closely with the subtitles... and u know... subtitles dun always tally or fit totally... Then there was this initial qns in me that why Qi Yu Wu didn't even speak a word at all in the show... and even thou he's deaf and dumb... he can listen to techno music... knows how to do scratch... and can even drive!! Then i wonder he's call Guan Yin 关音... like 'off the sound'! dotx.

Anyway a rather funny show... from the way it starts... but has a very sad ending... esp. when 大木瓜 'sees' 小木瓜 downstage every year thereafter her death... and 关音's 'voice' saying '现在更期待七月的到来，因为这样才可以看到小木瓜'.. err... something like that...

Well... i see it as another breakthrough for the local film scene... and the other side of 歌台.. to speak the truth.. i nv liked getais... esp. when i wish to have a peaceful night after some long day... the thing is.. maybe they needn't be that loud... and cos i really dun like techno music... and recent years all the songs they sing at getais are remixed and blah blah blah... thus explaining my dislike in them.

Anyway.. the vocals in the movie... not bad lor... some doesn't belong to the actors/actress themselves... like the papaya sisters... But forget abt the durian sisters. totally city girls style. dotx.

Lastly.. support local film lah... haha! thou it still can't be compared to foreign films. we are doing our best with the little resource and space we have! we can't have too actioned shows filming in singapore... so what the local film scene been doing was to make films closer to the living habits of singaporeans... and aren't we proud of it?! :)
