*edited*
i decided the first part was MEAN.
so deleted it. HAHA

anyway, went for training yesterday before meeting sel to get my pay and watch THE NUMBER 23.
well, i decided to take part in this competition in may.
have no idea if it's a wrong decision or whatsoever.
i haven't been training much, and am so omfg lousy.
still, for the sake of jacket + experience + possibility of subsidy for cca tee + 0.000001% of getting the cash prize..... well, i guess it may be worth the embarrassment of getting K.O.ed.
ok, at least it's reason for me to diet again. YAY!
and here's some camwhoring of sel and me!
you can grab it here dear.
HAHA


















































see! he's so greedy. after eating up his beef lasagne, he gobbled up another 3/4 of my carbonara.
LOL but thanks anw.




















this is while waiting for the movie to start. and after sel gobbled up many eclairs from the tea reception.
thanks to dad who got tix at $5 apiece for us.

if you can see, his 2 bags were occupying one seat, and him the other.
like wtf, right?
he could just slide one bag under the seats, and put the other one on his lap.
rather than denying one person of a seat.
if he decides that doing so would be real troublesome, THEN STAND UP.
get your bags with you and STAND. so two people can sit.
still too inconvenient? well, there's always such a thing called the TAXI.
go get a cab, m'dear.

seriously, i think singaporeans are extremely in need of courtesy lessons.
today while eating at the market with my mum.
there was this guy who came and sat at the table without even asking!
that's not all though.
my table was surrounded by 5 other empty tables!
so.... hello mister, what's the rationale behind sitting here, WITHOUT EVEN ASKING?
man, i was really pissed.
so when my mum came back, i said really loudly.
"don't know what's wrong with this guy. so many other empty tables and he had to sit here. NEVER ASK SUMMORE!"
the guy looked up, stared at me, and continued eating uncaringly.
^$@$%@!!!

see!
no matter how much singapore improves on its outlook -- building casinoes and the like.
if its people are like that, without courtesy, without BASIC manners.
it wont be able to be ranked too high globally.
but then again, considering it's SINGAPORE.... well, these uncouth people would be licking the angmoh's shoes.
*shrugs*
how prideless.
how embarrassing.
that singapore, the aspiring global hub, is in need of much culture lessons.

~ 3/27/2007 03:54:00 PM ~
LOL.
went to buy stuff with my mum just now.
and ended up shopping a lil as well.
i got new leggings! a top! and flats!
whee~
and $10 worth of sweets from 7-11 too.
(i think i sound like a kid now)
but anyway...

had a little tiff with weiric this morning.
walao.
really kinda ruined my day lah.
anyway, here's the sms-es we exchanged.
=.=
WEIRIC: "Hey tell me what time you going to collect the shirt tmr.. i'll go with you haha and peggy and joyce the bucks how? Haha"
ME: "You get from them la. You're the treasurer lehz I already help you post on blog ask ppl to pay you. It's your responsibility to go chase after them. And i alr said i going after 5."
WEIRIC: "I know after 5 but what time la! Give me an exact time not that."
ME: "I wouldn't know the exact time i end right! You think i sports camp committee ah. If you not free after 5 then forget it. I can go alone one dunid company."
WEIRIC: "What the? Did i say anything about you not? Asking you for the time only what... And i'm free after 5 and i'm not accompanying i'm going to pay for some ppl.. dun make it sound like i'm forcing you... i'm just asking you for the time k? peace?"
ME: "You can transfer me the money. It's kinda like... common sense you know. this kinda thing obviously i wouldn't know the exact time right. be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear."
WEIRIC: "Oki oki you win they'll be transferring the money over anyways.. and you sometimes should check on your attitude.. seriously you should. i was just asking you."
ME: "Well, you should think before speaking too. And this applies all the time. why do you think ppl sound irritated talking to you? because sometimes obvious stuff have to be made even MORE obvious. i'm telling you this because everyone feels this way, not only me."
WEIRIC: "Maybe i should do that. Anyways i'll give you a call or msg you tml after 5. peace ok? dun because of small little things and break the committee."
ME: "You dunid to THINK you should. It's quite obvious that you got to. Otherwise whereever you go people will just get really annoyed at your apparent idiocy."

yeah. that's about it.
actually i was feeling kinda guilty about this after the exchange.
but when i thought about how irritating he was... well, the sympathy and all fled.
PFFTT.
and he keeps asking me to go for training. SCD and all.
walao.
it's not my fault i can't go lor!
you think i dun wanna go ah.
i also wanna train. it's not like i dunno i'm fugging lousy.
i happen to have zi4 zhi1 zhi1 ming2, unlike some people.
*cough*hint*cough*
but i have sports camp and everything.
have enough pressure already, and i don't need anyone else to add on.
especially someone who isn't all that close to me.

~ 3/26/2007 11:46:00 AM ~
last day of natas fair yesterday.
(:
had a blast!
HAHA made plenty of new frenz, though we didn't find out each other's name.
we just called each other by the company's name.
well, other than 3 dynasty travel people whom i knew of the names..
others... *cough*
called them like "eh tenet!" or "tradewinds!" or "dynasty de..!" or "anglo-french!" and they all called me "bayview!"
cuz bayview sounded relatively nice, i felt like those miss universe contestant you know.
like "MS...... BAYVIEW!"
HAHA. ok. dream on.
it was really fun though.
yesterday was like an auction.
those korea people were like shouting "han guo! korea!"
and i was going "malaysia australia newzealand singapore!" in a sing-song voice while promoting bayview... and while helping others, it was like some breath training lah! "australia europe us japan china korea india and many more!"
hahaha
and during the last few hours, i guess we traumatised many of the visitors.
we were all stationed at the entrance, so when they came in, we just rushed forward as one huge group shouting "THANK YOU THANK YOU!" and dumped flyers into their arms.
LOL.
some of them could take this understandingly.
and some, when they don't take, if you go "please please please! just take one!" they'd take pity on you and help.
but others were MEAN.
haha i even had to resort to "PLEASE TAKE ONE! FREE BROCHURE!" and "FOR YOUR KARANG GUNI" and such lah!
pfftt.
HAHAHA.
but lotsa fun all in all.
it was a fantabulous experience.
i wanna work at more events!
(with uob redemption counters would be best.)
LALALA~

Saturday, March 24, 2007
~ 3/24/2007 10:07:00 PM ~
i hate the holidays.
they aren't hols at all!
especially now that it's nearing the end of them.
hols have been filled with camps, work and such.
=(
i have a niggling suspicion that i'd be burnt out by the time the new sem starts.
argh.
help! someone. anyone.
and sel's not online.
QUICKLY GET YOUR LINE LEH.
LIKE THAT DAMN IRRITATINGLY SIAN LEH.

*edit*

TODAY WAS GREAT.
had work.
and made new frenz.
though they decided that i was a siao zhar bo cuz i kept laughing nonstop.
PFFTT.
haha
and found a guy who's in NP! IT course.
(: he had no cca so i tried pulling him into kickbox.
failed though.
and he decided that he was scared of me.
oh. ONE OF THEM CALLED ME A TOMBOY.
*ROAR!*
ah well..
i can't wait for work tomorrow.
although it's gonna be very tiring.
my auntie came to visit today. gave me cramps and all.
and YEAH YEAH YEAH.
those who're thinking of going overseas, come visit the NATAS fair and look for me ok!
whee~

oh. time table's like.. OUT.
and it seriously sucks.
i mean. can't the people who arrange the timetables LOOK at where we stay before deciding on the timeslot for us to start classes?
like wtf! my classes start at 8 or 9 am.
and on thurs, tv production is from 8-11. and i'll have a blooding 7 hours before kickboxing starts.
FUCKED UP, ISN'T IT?
not enough time to go home and sleep, and neither do i want to stay in school for 7hours.
kns.
i wanna rent a room in clementi or something.
but my mum is being MEAN. she keeps thinking up of excuses why i shouldn't go stay in other people's houses.
first she told me that i can stay at my dad's aunt's place.
then she said extra expenses. and too many criterion.
so i said i'll WORK to pay the rent myself.
and she said how to study like that.
SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP LAH. BITCH.
it's crazy to expect me to wake so early and rot the 7hours off in school while waiting for training to start right.
brainless.
she'd go crazy if she were me too.
so put yourself in my shoes, and STFHU!!!!!!
*throws tantrum*

Thursday, March 22, 2007
~ 3/22/2007 10:02:00 PM ~
today was kinda great.
had fun kayaking.
and cycling in the rain.
to take a look at the pictures... check out NPKFC'S BLOG
mr bean's holiday after that.
i dunno if it had to do with my mood, or if the show was just downright stupid.
frances was laughing till her facial muscles hurt.
and i was only well.. laughing at like.. a few tiny parts in the movie.
i think it was so dumb it wasn't funny at all.
moreover... some parts of the movie had no continuity.
(will let you guys figure out what they are yourself)
while walking out to wait for my dad to pick me up from tanah merah, i could feel the tears burning up again.
f*ck them.
if only we were born without tear glands.

Wednesday, March 21, 2007
~ 3/21/2007 08:40:00 PM ~
kickbox outing tomorrow!
i cant wait.
hopefully i feel better after kayaking and such.
it kinda sucks when you are too busy wallowing in your misery till 3-4am before you finally manage to drop to sleep.
imu. many many.
maybe, just maybe..
a slash.
drops of blood.
will relieve this ache.


and i miss my sel too.
=(
he's not online and has no handphone currently.
*sulks*

You are The Moon


Hope, expectation, Bright promises.


The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.


The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.


What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

~ 3/20/2007 11:38:00 PM ~
stop thinking about it.
it causes nothing but misery.

crying is a sign of weakness.
enough.
crying doesn't change anything.
i'm sure there's a way to keep the tears in.
find it.

Monday, March 19, 2007
~ 3/19/2007 02:50:00 PM ~
i love sel and my family.
they're the only ones with faith in me.
fuck the rest of you.
just a backup, am i?
go ahead, think the worst of me.
who the hell are you to treat me like you do?

~ 3/18/2007 10:08:00 PM ~
it just hit me that whoever who said everyone is given a second chance, is full of shit.
it's human nature to remember the faults, and forget all the good that one has done.
in fact, once a mistake is made, that incident would be deeply imprinted in everyone's mind, with all the other nice/good things you've done thrown aside.
it's when you've erred, that everyone will remember you.
as it's then when people feel disappointed/sad/angry, and these negative feelings are more inerasable than the happy ones.

a quote i just saw "by ignorance we mistake, and by mistakes we learn".
yeah. you learn who your friends are, who the ones who really believe in you are.
it's then when you know who knows you well enough to see through what you've done to the real intentions. or know if you're misunderstood.
someone said that "memory is a complicated thing, relative to truth, but not its twin".
when looking back, you see things more objectively, and maybe then, you'll be able to tell if you misunderstood someone.
there's a crack in everything, that's how light gets in.
i really hope that cracks start appearing in bad memories fast.
maybe then, when light appears, it'll be friends again.
but then again, with the amount of faith you guys have in me, i think that that is a very faraway hope.

don't you think the chinese saying "一失足成千古恨" is said by someone who understands human nature more than others who spout "second chances" kinda bull?

IM DEAD BEAT!
just got back from sports camp.
though i only stayed over for one night.. it was REALLY tiring.
not to mention feeling really melancholy at times cuz i dunno like.. 9/10 of the people there.

alright.. so yday we had nightwalk at lim chu kang cemetery.
gosh.
i was freaking out man!
could feel my goosebumps rising once i got near the cemetery.
and after the long waiting time, i calmed myself down.
HOWEVER... when it was my turn to go in with lindi...
i started shivering and all.
it was only then did i know the meaning of COLD SWEAT.
cuz i was really sweating... COLD one summore.
oh oh.. and after the entire walk, because lindi and i held hands, our hands were damn wet.
cuz my palms were sweating non-stop.

ya... so we went back after that.
thank god for people like joyce and nicole...
took away the loneliness i'd otherwise have had 24/7 at the camp.
oh.. and for some reason, i forgot wad we did, but lights out was at 3.45a.m.
i just totally conked out lah!
*crosses fingers and hope i didn't snore*
yeah. and at around 6plus, the extremely nice CCs had to have a FIRE DRILL.
kns.
they think we superhuman ah?
i need my sleep!

but at least today was relatively slack and fun.
aiya.
i lazy to blog alr.
had loads of stuff to say when i was on the bus home..
but forgot alr..
cuz am so very the sleepy.

goodbye.

it's all sel's fault i woke so early to check.
PFFTT.

slept at 3plus last night.
stupid slimming pills.
i wonder if it's just a psychological thing or the caffeine in the pills doing its work.
HMM.
*snores*

anyway... since nicholas wanted more rocky quotes...
i shall be nice and give him more.
NIC. YOU OWE ME ONE. ;)
"I mean maybe you're doing your job but why you gotta stop me from doing mine? Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something... and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!... You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table... is what's right."

"Rocky: Hey yo, champ. Aren't you a little scared?
Mason Dixon: I don't get scared.
Rocky: [turns and walks away with his son] You know, I think you try harder when you're scared... That's when it's worked best for me."

"It doesn't matter how this looks to other people. If this is something you gotta do, then you do it. Fighters fight."

"Theres always somebody out there. Always. And when that time comes and you find something standing if front of you, something that ain't running and ain't backin up and is hittin on you and your too damn tired to breathe. You find that situation on you, that good, Cuz thats baptizim under fire! Oh you get thru that and you find the only kind of respect that matters in this world, Self respect."

okay.. there you are. =)
you should watch the movie, nic!
it rocks pebbles scissors papers stones! HAH.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS.
sheereen just told me that i'm gonna be the only girl in my grp for gl camp!
gosh.
this just makes things WORSE.
i wasn't looking forward to it in the first place...
if im gonna be the only girl.....
URGH.

well, anyway...
went to watch music and lyrics with sel the whale/pig just now!
and it was nice.
hahaha. i think the cora girl looks quite sweet.
though she's really bimbotic at times.
there was one part when she told alex and sophie "i wanna show you the roof! it's upstairs"
and sel went "OMG. that sounds like something michelle will say."
TSSSSKKK. mean guy you are.
oh. and i ate pasta mania after craving for it for sucha long long time!
i think the staff at tamp pasta mania for TODAY were quite.... *cough*
lets just say i think they aren't really experienced.
they were rather... blind and slow.
there was this girl named pei zhen (sheereen, do you know her?) who did stuff REALLY slowly. *rolls eyes*

hmm...
i wanna buy a backpack!
thanks to frances lah.
the backpack she brought to camp seemed so convenient... unlike the HUMONGOUS sling bag i brought.. which nearly caused my shoulder to.. erhm.. DROP OFF.
backpack. backpack. backpack.
great. another item on my wishlist.
and i haven't even started working yet!
ARRRGGGGHHHHH....!

oh.. results out in about 8 and a half hours!
*crosses fingers and hopes for the best*

p.s.
sorry for this EXTREMELY random entry.
hhaha.. i seem to have too many thoughts crowding my mind at the same time.
oh.. btw.. in case you guys are interested in what happened in kickboxing camp..
check out the LOADS of pics i uploaded at http://npkfc.blogspot.com

kickbox camp rocks!
it was seriously fun fun fun, albeit really tiring.
haha. not enough sleep.
and the room was FREEZING.
although i had a sleeping bag for myself, was still shivering away.

well, training during camp was exhausting.
HAHA.
shan't elaborate much on that and bore you guys.
but training so much after much slacking on my part was really..... o.O
even in my sleep these few nights, i'll suddenly kick and jerk myself awake lah!
LOL. peggy had the same problem too.

i'm missing the camp already!
bleahh..
i think it seriously rocks pebbles stones!
we seem much more bonded now.
though i think a common.... erhm... dislike for a particular person helped in bonding us.
HAHA. whee~
how i wish the sports gl training camp is another kickbox camp.
PFFTT..

here are some pics, btw!
there was seriously LOADS of camwhoring going on..!
(peggy's fav pasttime. LOL)


















joyce the ju ying/my bolster/laughing partner, peggy the ah ma, and me!
this was on the first day during training.. while we still had the energy to go crazy.
note the pics as the days pass... my eyes get smaller and smaller. LOL




















one of the many photos taken on the FIRST night.




















and the camwhoring continues....






















and continues.....




















everyone decided to join in!



















pretty pretty. ;)
u-jin looks like the.. erhm... long-jawed guy from popeye the sailor man... (whose name i've forgotten)





















gym training on the second day.
see all the hunched backs?
we were all dead beat by then.




















frances, purple, cheryl and peggy rolling around the mat.
IT WAS DAMN FUNNY LAH!



















bbq on the 3rd day!
it was uber fun with lame jokes coming from joyce, frances and.. erh.. peggy.
peggy's idea of a joke: which place in singapore is an ex-teletubbies town?
frances' one cant be said here.. cuz it'd be too obvious.
=)

i absolutely love these ppl.

Thursday, March 08, 2007
~ 3/08/2007 04:00:00 PM ~
whee~
it's off to training camp tomorrow!
and the asshole that i'm buying hydroxycut from has still not smsed me on the exact place and time to meet up later.
f*cking inefficient he is.
am so tempted to leave a negative rating for him.
he said somewhere on the nel after 6.30p.m.
ha-ha. apparently he thinks he's the only one who matters.
don't i need time to prepare and travel?
does he think i'm at his beck and call?
f*ck it man.
just that i don't wanna pull out cuz he's selling it REALLY cheap.
have no idea why guys seem to be such assholes most of the time.
ROAR!
no matter how much they claim they arent MCPs, they still have the traces of one deep down inside.
doing things that they think are right, without thinking of others.
PFFTT.
so our conclusion?
pigs = guys.

ok. digressed.
well, anyway, i'll be off to camp from tomorrow to sunday.
and won't be blogging.
if i'm not too tired, i'll blog on the 12th!
however, if i am... then i wont be blogging until the 18th.
keep checking in though!
=)

watched ROCKY BALBOA with sel just now!
with all the hype from weiric, i wanted to see just what was so great about this show.
and the verdict is....
IT'S BRILLIANT! WATCH IT PEOPLE!
it's a really inspirational show.
although it's about rocky not giving up on his dreams even though he's really old (in the boxing world), the things the movie is trying to put forth does not only apply in the ring.
take this for example. it was rocky speaking to his son:
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"

Here's another.
"Who am I kiddin'? I ain't even in the guy's league...It don't matter, 'cause I was nobody before...I was nobody. That don't matter either, ya know...It really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed. And if I can go that distance, ya see, and that bell rings, ya know, and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, ya see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood."

okay, last one. i promise.
i think this is really lovely.
if you really want something, make sure you're willing to sacrifice.
"No, maybe I can't win, maybe the only thing I can do is just take everything he's got. But to beat me, he's gonna have to kill me, and to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me, and to do that, he's gotta be willing to die himself and I don't know if he's ready to do that. I don't know, I don't know."

nice, isn't it?
for more quotes such as this, go watch the movie!
it wasn't only inspirational.
it was really touching.
i used to think that sylvester stallone's acting was quite wooden, but he really impressed me in this show!
make me drop a few tears, even.
highly recommended my dears!

you know what?
i think taxi drivers should go for customer service lessons.
don't tell me taxi drivers are just trying to make a living, and yada yada.
hell, you're making a living as a TAXI DRIVER, in the SERVICE line, so you'd jolly well have a good attitude.
i mean, be hypocritical for all i care.
god knows i'm hypocritical too. can be smiling at the customer one second, turn around, and mutter a "fuck you".

cuz my mum was still at the bank at 10am today, which was the time i was supposed to leave the house.... so i decided to take a cab down to tanah merah mrt.
well, so everything went well until we reached tanah merah.
the fare was $2.90. so i gave him a five-dollars note lah.
the driver then told me "AIYA. i got no small notes leh. you got exact amount anot."
i then told him, "no, i don't."
so he just sat there, stoning.
i very nicely said "uncle, i'm rushing for time leh..."
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FUCKTARD DID?!
he started shouting at me!
say what "so what!? i'm already trying to think of a way to solve this problem lor......" and he went on and on.
bloody hell, i was so damn pissed lah.
he's a TAXI driver leh!
he think what, people's fare will definitely zhun zhun 10 dollars or something ah?
you will definitely need 2 dollar notes and coins and such what!
i haven't even started on him over that and he dared to shout at me!
so i told him that to his face.
and he went, even LOUDER... "YOU THINK TAXI DRIVER OPEN BANK AH! NO MONEY MEANS NO MONEY LAH....!" and went on and on...
all this while the passenger window was opened you know! and everyone walking past could hear that BASTARD shouting at me.
fuck lah.
i'm not even his DAUGHTER or anything.
he had no right to yell at me over a matter that was obviously HIS fault.
after that, i tried to butt in while he was ranting to tell him off, but he was like a fucking bullet train, going on and on, and getting more incensed as he spoke.
=.=
oh, not to mention his SPIT flying everywhere too.
i pity the next passenger who takes the passenger seat.
his/her pants would be sooo contaminated by the driver's saliva.
but anyway... i wasn't as pissed when he shouted his first sentence.
it was his ceaseless self-righteous yelling that pissed me off. BAD.
still, i get the last laugh.
yes, mr tan soo kwang, you fucked up old bastard, i lodged a complaint against you.
*sweet smile*
















i'm basically a nice person..
but step over the boundaries, and you know just how mean i can be.
tiny parts of the complaint was exaggerated.... still.. *shrugs*
he stepped on my ego, screaming at me when the taxi window's open.
since i couldn't do the same thing back to him..... this is the next best thing.
i'm proud of myself.
*smug look*

my cousin's getting marrieD on 30th march!!
goodness gracious, time passes really fast.
(and it also means that he's now 30 years OLD.)
it seemed not long ago when we got together at my.. erhm.. grandma's wake and got really bonded...
it was then when he told us he was getting married in 1.5years time.
to think that one and a half years is now over!
anyway, his fiancee is REALLY pretty.
really REALLY pretty.
lucky guy he is.
HAHA.

and there's only like.. about a month of the hols left.
sigh...
but camps are coming up!
i'm gonna be so so SO busy man.
9-11mar: kickboxing training camp
14-17mar: sports camp gl training camp
19-21mar: SELWYN <3
of course, with only a month of hols left, i've gotta find a job. FAST.
the work at saf yacht club is really exhausting.
not the things i have to do, but the distance from my home!
imagining taking the train home from work at SEMBAWANG like.. 11plus...?
even if we OT, and end up having them to fetch, i'll still reach home about 1-2am.
sucks, eh?
must get a job fast!
i owe ppl MONEY MONEY MONEY.
like sel. =(

oh.. my dad just sent me an email of a poem written by a young girl with cancer.
it was her dying wish, and she wanted to write a letter telling people to live their lives to the fullest, since she never will.
well, the poem is entitled Slow Dance.
have a read, guys.

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

nice, isn't it?
if only everyone will think this way and slow down.
take a look around them and appreciate their surroundings.
but we all know that this is quite impossible.
why?
cuz once people even THINK about stopping, they banish the thought from their head thinking that they'll lose out when that happens.
okay, maybe this applies more to adults, but anyway..
we may claim that we aren't rushing through life, and yeah, that we're savouring every nuance that life gives.
but how much of that is really true?

went to watch nyjc's bai yun gang drama performance today.
it was REALLY great meeting up with lina menghow and christine!
and it was really comforting to know that im not the only one missing them, but is a mutual feeling.
sigh..
alright, on baiyungang.
menghow dearest was the vice-producer!
good job love!
here's wishing you all the best for the last performance tmr.
only we who've gone through it would know how much sweat and blood was put into such a performance.
i'm sure you're really proud of yourself, and i am of you too!

as for the acting and all...
haha.
the 2nd ju was much better than the first.
the first was, erhm...
okay, lets say it still had loads that could be improved.
i think the storyline was good, but the actors couldn't pull it off.
couldn't feel the emotions and all.
and many of the actors didn't enunciate the words properly.
EH! CHINESE DRAMA LEH!
how can "shi4" become "si4", "shui2" become "sui2", "chu1" become "cu1" and all?
must go for more chinese lessons.
the second ju, however, was really good.
i so totally love the butch girl who acted as a guy!
HAHA. reminds me of my 2 fan3 chuan4 experiences in sec 1 and 2.
and to think that then, i was SOOOO excited acting as a guy.
and the stint in sec 2 when i acted as a father, people actually thought that i REALLY was a guy.
you have noooooo idea how glad i was when i found out.
haha. cuz of my hair and erhm.. lowered voice, it's not difficult to see how people could have been mistaken.
after watching baiyungang... i really really have the urge to go back and act.
never realised how much i could miss acting.
while watching the first ju and picking out all the mistakes, it suddenly hit me that i've never looked at the technical aspects of ju-s while watching them in the past.
ahhh well...
i wanna act in ahs xiang ying `07!
=(
but i think it's too late to ask for it now.
bleah.

anyway, i cant wait to eat belated cny reunion dinner with menghow lina and chris!
(although chris is like... so separated from us now that she has her bf. *sniffle*)

i decided to try for the promoter job afterall.
cuz the $20/hr proved too tempting to resist.
work one day can get $80 already.
working hours is either 7pm - 11pm or 6pm - 10pm.
turned out that it's to promote the tuborg beer.
the beer that is being advertised through the steel teeth commercial.
but i kinda doubt i'll be selected lah.. although the guy said with make up and high boots should be no prob.
but look!



















so pretty right!
this is the benchmark set by the boss lor.
oh.. and that's the uniform. it's a .... dress i think.
anyone wanna join me?
GIRLS ONLY. and gotta be taller than 165cm. =)

im officially irritated with my mum.
seriously, she's just so dense sometimes i feel like banging my head against the wall.
why mine, and not hers?
cuz i decided it isn't too filial to bang HERS.
and i'd feel guilty if i said i felt like banging HERS.
pfftt..
i've never seen/heard of anyone who's so dumb before!
while chatting halfway with weiric about kickboxing and standards...
she had to go off the darn modem.
after i screamed at her..
she was like "oh.. i thought you using wireless?"
HA-HA. very clever ah, mummy.
you think use wireless dunid modem ah?
you off the modem where i get the connection from?

other than her ignorance with technology...
i have NOOO idea why she keeps wanting me to clear up my room.
ya, so my room's messy as a pig sty.
but so what?
i like it that way.
it's more COSY lor.
she should just stfu and leave me alone.
whole day nagging about me going out and all.
FUCK LAH.
never even ask her to fetch or gimme allowance lor.
even if i ask her to fetch, she refuses, so me going out has nothing to do with her.
and even if i stay home, im just rotting my ass off in front of the laptop.
not much better, innit?
she should learn to mind her business and stick to watching television QUIETLY.

oh.. i saw this job ad up on a forum..
sounds like a really good deal.
female promoter for 4 hours.. $80 bucks basic.
but... still, im kinda dubious.
see!














sekali it's promote our bodies.
LOL!
dangerous, no?

oh. and shit balls.
my mum just asked me when my chalet was.
o.O
gotta think of an excuse to give as to why i'm not going for it man!
kns.
maybe i'll just go sleepover at someone's house for those few days.

P.S.
lol!
qiquan introed me to this thread in the keeptouch forum just now.
it's damn funny.
the thread is "why sg so many places got cum smell".
