CATS + 天冷就回来

最近看了两部歌舞剧 - CATS + 天冷就回来。。。

两场完全不同特色，却让我陶醉其中的

CATS 生动艳丽，平日对猫并没太多好感的我却被舞者精湛舞技吸引

天冷平实感人，一首首改编后的新谣感动了我一整夜。。。

Bull year

My bull year did not start well, i was febrile+bodyache on the very first day of lunar new year. The symptoms persisted till the 3rd day and rashes was all over my limbs, doctor suspected dengue fever and did a blood test on me. sigh, result wasn't good, and i need to go back in 3 days time to do the second blood test.
Finally, the signs and symptoms subsided on the 7th day, and the diagnosis was viral infection...phew~
Sigh my new year holiday ended up with sick leaves....Hopefully the bad things are all over, and i have a good year ahead =)

Lunar New Year 2009

with mom and dad at midvalley@thegardens doing some last minute shopping....

my recent changes

pierced finally...3 months ago, i had my ears pierced and now i can put on nice dangle, stud, chandelier earrings =)
Had an eye-check recently and ended up with a pair of (astix+myopia) glasses....

i passed!

Nothing to boast about, but im really happy for passing my basic theory test...after years (2 yrs to be exact, ever since sis bought a car) of wanting to have my driving license converted. I was perpetually delaying, gave all sorts of excuses i.e. laz to study, no leave to sit for exam, the exam is tough, timing not right .... all lame excuses i could think of.

Finally, the mission accomplished, and i'll be on the road soon ~~

My first emcee on stage

A very good evening ladies and gentlemen, a very warm welcome and thank you for joining us on this special day of Jasper&Seeyin.... thats how it begins......

It was Monday at the wedding banquet, I was supposed to be there at 6 pm for the debriefing, rushed from my office 5:30 sharp hope to reach on time, aiks i was late and my partner was there rehearsing himself when i reached. Quickly i changed and got ready for the last rehearsal...oh my, its almost 7pm then and the guests were coming in soon.

I'm not used to public speaking, even worse this is the first time emceeing, quite nervous and heart beating fast..90rpm?. My worrisome came by... but with the help of my partner, we managed to run through a few times, and i was wee bit relieved.

It started around 83o that night, was slightly delayed. Standing on the platform, facing the guests, i felt adrenaline rushed through my veins at first. Slowly and steadily, we carried through the first session, then the second. I like the toast session best, the "yam seng" cheers from heng dai was like eveready batt, long and powerful. Finally, we made the closing and banquet ended at 1030.

It was a wonderful night, and i had great time, gave it a 99% =)

I'm back

Never posted for such a long time, but decided to pick it up again.
Have experienced a lot for the past few months, alone, with family and frenz. Hardly remember everything that happenned but vaguely some which i would like to blog it. First and foremost, departure of my dearest hong hong to Australia in Jan, it was hard initially, things didn't turn out as smooth but have settled down eventually. All the best to you and we are proud of you!
The next event which came immediately was Chinese new year and visited some frenz up north. It was a short yet memorable trip. March and April weren't good, was busy preparing for some exams, didn't do well, as i have high expectation of myself.
Went into a transition phase in may and june, shall i stay on or leave my job? It wasn't an easy decision to make, as I'm moving out from my comfort zone into an unknown territory. Anyway, the decision was made, I'm on the way out, and seeking new adventures in the next month.

10 dollars cut

10-minute haircut is shrooming everywhere in town, EC (ExpressCut),QB (QuickBeauty) The idea was originated from Japan, which you can have a 10mins hairdo for 10 bucks. At first i was a lil reluctant to try...but in the end i decided "why not?", if didn't look nice, just wash a few more times and it will grow.
The first cut was quite good, and satisfied, not much of styling basically just cut and trim. Was impressed by their speed and neat-clean concept, no nonsense services. Thereafter, i started to visit them on regular basis, once every 6 weeks. My hair is short, not much to style. most importantly i saved up a lot, used to pay 25-30 bucks per cut. Amount that i save 52/6 x (25-10)= 130bucks per year! (by no mean of calculative):P

New Skin

It is not the season molting; I lost my skin couple of days ago, the whole site was not loaded properly, turned into html format.
Hope the new skin is fine, back to simplicity.

Touch

The sense of touch is wonderful. My heart leaps everytime i touched, it gave a sense of excitement and curiousity when it slips away from me.
Guess what that makes me feel the pleasure?? Its the fish in the water that i touched today. I have never experienced this before. Had a good trip at Sentosa Island - Underwater world. I felt myself so close to the nature!

HK+SZ trip - Aug 07

Day 1 - 16 Aug 07,
We were told to be at the airport at 4:45 AM! Gosh, our flight is 6:45 am, do we need to be there so early? Obediently, i reached there on time and checked in luggage. Wandering around the airport till the time to board. Everyone was so excited on the plane, as the plane was moving towards the the runway, the captain announced "We are returning to the gate for checkup due to unidentified smell in the air-conditioning" 30 mins later, announcement came again "We have detected and fixed the failure, ready for take off". I was not scared or worried, but astonished cz never had such encounter in my life.
We touched down at noon, and checked-in to the hotel. My first meal in hk is wanton mee with milk tea at 茶餐厅. We walked around Mongkok later on. So happen that dad was travelling in hk also, had dinner with him that night, seafood feast at gold coast.
Day 2 - 17 Aug 07,
Morning call at 6am, we had dimsum at restaurant, then half day tour in hk. Went to few places like repulse bay, golden bauhinia square, madame tussauds etc. We had teochew lunch at noon, then transfer to shenzhen by train. Second half of the days was spent in shenzhen, 东门老街. Thats the heaven for my fellow buddies, because they shopped for loads of shoes, bags and clothes.
Day 3 - 18 Aug 07,
Shenzhen one day tour, as usual, they brought us to see jewellery and TCM - bored, then window of the world, 小人国 and cultural village, which we have to walk under the sun (temperature was 35 degrees) i melted and tanned! We had 2 shows at cultural village, first being china costume show, it was great. However, the second was unforgettable, 15 mins after the show, sepat typhoon arrived. The performance was abandoned and we were trapped in the rain.
Day 4 - 19 Aug 07,
Back to HK, it was free and easy, and i decided to tour around admiralty and causeway bay before meeting Flora (my hk fren) at the food fair. The exhibition was huge and crowded, but i enjoyed so much, cz have tried lots of food there. Flora brought me around, went to avenue of stars, 庙街, and had lots of nice streets food(smelly beancurd, curry fishball, fried oyster cake etc)
Day 5 - 20 Aug 07,
Slightly exhausted after a few days, but my stomach still hyperactive, and craving for good food. We had dimsum, tried hk mooncake, egg tart, etc. Spent another half day in HK before travelling back to SG.

The King And I

The King and I musical is in town! Have seen this on movie twice, different version, first is "The King and I" by Yul Brynner, and the second "Anna and the King" by Chow Yun Fatt. This is the third, which i caught on Stage of esplanade!

Quite like the storyline which tells about the story of a school teacher, Anna who was hired by the King Mongkut of Siam to teach his wives and children, although it was claimed to be historically inaccurate.

I was fully indulged in the songs, "Getting to know you" and "Shall we dance" being the favourite, funny play of the King, with his famous utter - et cetera, et cetera, et cetera... hehe..
Good play!
