31st October 2006 Tuesday
Last day of October... Waiting for holidays
to come..

Yawn.. Jus woke up frm nap. Been taking nap these 2 days cos it's exam period so I can come home quite early. Haven been blogging for sme time. Need to do sme updates... Been always telling Brandon that I wan to post but simply jus do lazy to do so... Anyway, jus do a quick one here...

Friday 27th Oct
No sch for us cos it's a off in lieu for Deepavali. (Dun envy... ) Met up with my NIE friends for dinner. Though only 5 of us, it was nice catching up with them. Really miss those days where we had lunch/dinner together in NIE, outings every now and then. But all these have gone away cos everyone is busy in their new sch and lives. Well, jus hope tat these few of us can keep in contact. It is really great to come out now and then to discuss topics like how to handle irritating students, how to do things more effectively, different teaching methods/techniques, etc and of cos to complain and vent our frustrations.... Anyway, took sme photos too cos really sianz.. nv take much pics recently.

Me, Yuping and the NYDC gorilla

Mr Nice man, Yundeng

NIE friends.....Those were the days....

Saturday 28th Oct
It's our 3 yrs and 8 mth anniversary... but din really celebrate it cos we dun usually celebrate anniversary... Anyway, dear jus got back from U.S so he was still adjusting to the weather and sleeping hours. Thus, he was a bit sick that day so we only shopped around in town. Supposed to buy heels for my waltz class but in the end couldnt find anything tat suits me. Mayb will consider buying from the instructor. Oh ya, I rem I told u guys I wanted to buy a clothes rack from Ikea. Ya, I really got it @ $15. Cheap but then super unglam and dust will fall onto my clothes. But heck lah... I really need to organize my wardrobe during holidays. So in the end I spent $45 in Ikea. Actually I really like to shop in Ikea though sme furniture are quite lousy... Hee:)

The clothes rack I bought at Ikea.. Looks unglam right? Like selling clothes at home...

Sunday 29th Oct
Started Waltz class with Jane, Willy and Francis. It was v fun... totally different style from salsa. I simply LOVE it. Have persuaded dear to go see us dance this sun and he can consider if he wanna join us. Really hope he does so tat we can do things tog and I feel more comfortable standing so close to smeone I know better. Aft starting waltz, I realized tat I am smeone who mus have leisure in life so next time when i get married, I will still wan to learn dance, language or any skill and even go clubbing when free... (Dear, dun kill me when u see this. U shld know my character...) I cant stand boring life....
HOPE one day when I master waltz, I can be like this.... Haha...

22nd October 2006 Sunday
Too cool, too talented, too 帅.... Who is he?


Can you guess who m i describing?

It's Lee Hom....

Spent a different yet meaningful sat yest. Supposed to go shopping with Kate @ BV (Bugis Village) but in the end went to watch Lee Hom's 盖世英雄concert. And it's free... Hee.. Kate's colleague's (Candice) church friend, Kenneth worked in Starhub (I hope I din rem it wrongly) and he got free tix to the concert. 托他们的福, i got a chance to go to a concert, smemore a 帅哥's concert for free... I was quited excited and played my mp3 in the aftnoon and see wat songs do I have so that when I could sing along @ the concert.

Met Kate and her colleagues at Braddell, got a free ride to indoor stadium. Hee.. Felt quite lucky yest... haha.. aft grabbing a quick bite, we went to queue up while waiting for Kenneth to cme. Oh ya.. saw Eunice there too. I know she is crazy over Jay but din know she likes Lee Hom too. So was surprised to see her ther. She "joined" our queue as the queue was really v long..

Our bags were checked b4 going in. I knew tat no photography was allowed but din know I cant bring my camera in so I had to deposit my camera at the counter. They din find Kate's "pinky" so her "pinky" could sneak in secretly. Tat's y I couldnt post much photos of the concert. Have to wait for Kate to send me the photos we took using "pinky"...

*"pinky" is the name Kate gave to her camera, sony T10. Indeed a v nice camera. Make me gian to buy a new camera too.*

We got quite good seats, facing the center of the stage but a bit far so we couldnt really see Lee Hom. Can only reliable on the big screens. But it's enuff for me... He sang many songs, such as 不可能错过你,永远的第一天,唯一,盖世英雄,龙的传人,心中的日月,大城小爱,FOREVER LOVE, JULIA, KISS GOODBYE and of course my fav song - 一首简单的歌. I love all of them lor. Was happily singing along with him and the audience. Oh.. And he is really really v talented. I would say as talented as Jay Chou but Lee Hom is more good looking. (opps.. Jay's fans will sure kill me if they see this). Lee Hom can sing well, dance well and can play piano, violin, drums and even er hu. Me and Kate really felt like going to KTV soon and would sing all his songs. And Candice wished that she had a bf like Lee Hom... Ya, if there's smeone like Lee Hom, which girl dun wan?

I was really v happy and touched. Tears almost dropped down lo
r... dunno why, prob i can feel the sense of satisfaction Lee Hom will feel aft the concert. Do you how one feels aft of a successful performance? I had tat feeling b4. I cried non-stop aft my drama performance during JC.

Anyway, really had lots of fun and felt v v happy. A different kind of happiness. dunno how to describe... Prob bcos I nv been to a concert b4. Dun luff hor...

Really have to thanx Kate, Candice and Kenneth for letting me enjoy to the fullest yest...
I guess I will go to another concert again if I have spare money. (Dear, you see this?)


Here are only 2 photos to show u guys... Need to wait for Kate to send me hers... Anyone who went for his concert can share your thoughts here too...



Cant take pic in the concert so can only get them on the web... Those who love him enjoy....

Can sing and dance..

Plays the violin well and he looks so 迷人

And drums too.. so cool..

Really shocked that he can even play er hu... *jaws drop*

15th October 2006 Sunday
Super UNLUCKY yesterday....


Jus finished chatting with my bf on webcam. He went to sleep and I wanted to nap too. But there are piles of 作业 to mark.. Haiz.. Bcos next week is PSLE marking, I wont b going to sch so I have to bring the books home. But I m so lazy now. Think will blog awhile b4 really starting to do marking.

Went chinatown to shop with Kate yesterday. Everything went smoothly including no spending of money, i.e we din buy anything. B4 we went separately to meet our friends for dinner, we dropped by the flea market behind cineleisure. Damn suay... while walking under the trees, smthing wet and stinky dropped onto my head. Guess wat... BIRD SHIT!!!! Damn it! I was so freak out, used the whole pack of tissue to clean it. Bcame so paranoid even aft Kate's assurance that there was nothing on my hair. Really so unlucky.. 1st time in my life man. Really got to buy 4D. Haiz... anyway, calmed down aft I met Edwin at Marina Square.

Had dinner and watched "The Departed" with him b4 heading home. Wow... the show is really an english version of 无间道 (Internal Affairs) but the ending was too abrupt and abit lame. Plus, the show is super long lor, near to 3 hours. Wat's worse, we were seated on the 2nd row from the screen. When the show ended, my body was aching and my legs were cramped... haiz... If u guys really wanna watch, choose a better seat, have sme popcorns and drinks. The show can b boring at times.

Took a cab home alone aft tat cos Edwin was going to join his friends at TPY SAFRA for snooker. Got into the cab but the uncle din ask where i was going so I jus told him. Initially he drove v fast and smooth but when we were at SLE, he kept yawning and putting one hand behind his head and the cab was at a v slow speed. He wasnt driving in his lane, now and then he drove in 2 lanes. I was abit worried but din say anything. I was v tired too but I told myself I had to keep myself awake. I guess he dozed off now and then but I couldnt see. I was only worried abt my safety. When we were reaching at the junction b4 my blk, he dozed off at the traffic light. I could see his EYES CLOSED. The lights turned green but he din move. I called out, "Uncle, pls stop at the bus stop!" He opened his eyes and drove. I din dare to scold cos he's fat and big size. I quickly paid and got off. He din drive off immediately, I guess he was taking a nap. So suay... got into such a cab. My life was in danger last night...

Friday 13th is not unlucky. Saturday the 14th is.... Haiz...

Hope everything goes well this week if not i really have to go 拜拜! Wish me luck, friends...

Will be going to Grandma's house later. It's her bday. Probably I can take sme pics and show u pple next time...

10th October 2006 Tuesday
Are you our family member?

Really got to pen this down. Have been pondering for v long abt this qn? Is she really part of us? share the same blood as us? live under the same family as us? our family member? my sister? Was quite pissed and irritated during dinner jus now. Really cant tolerate her nonsense... Only my parents can take it and allow such things to happen. I guess many of my friends have already listened to enough complains and disgusting stories abt her.

Anyway, this is wat happened: my parents bought dinner for us frm outside. She requested noodles but the stall wasnt open and I guess she was sleeping, that's y mum din call her again to ask wat she want
. So mum bought her fried chicken wings rice instead of noodles. When she woke up, she saw tat it wasnt noodles and she flared up.

Her: I wan noodles. Why is it chicken wing rice?

Mum: the stall wasnt open so I bought this.
Her: I dun wan to eat. I hate chicken wing.


Me: (thinking: what is wrong with chicken wing? Will die is it?)


Mum: Ok, u eat mine and I will eat urs.
Her: DUN WAN! I dun wan to eat... YOU EAT BOTH L
AH!
Mum: (remain cool) I give u some veg and pork lah.

Her: NO! DUN WAN!

Mum:
(getting abit pissed) How can i eat both?

Her: DUN EAT LOR!

Mum:
(I can feel tat she is feeling more pek chek but I feel worse. Jus feel like slapping her)
Dun eat then waste food leh. And also waste my MONEY! Her: DUN WAN LAH!

Me: Heck care lah! Dun eat then dun eat lah. THROW AWAY LAH.
(that time I really feel like punching her lor.)

So my mum heck care her and put the packet of rice on the computer table. She ignored and continued to use her laptop. I really feel like telling her off: Dun use the internet accesss if u dun wan to eat. I pay for the internet and since you think u so rich and waste food, then pay for urself lah. Earn so much but so selfish!!!! In the end, I din say all these cos I dun wan to pick up an arguement with her. I m jus pek chek that y can my parents remain so cool. Is it simply that they jus dun care or they jus pamper her too much? I really agreed to wat Brandon said today: shld jus chase her out of the house.

Oh ya, she is joining Miss XXXX pageant.
Oh pls... it's all fake. One kind of behavior at hme, another 假惺惺 behavior outside. Yucks... so disgusted. Cant imagine I have such a sister. But nvmind, I nv regard her as a sis since dunno when. Friends of her out there might say tat she is an angel. But to many pple esp me and my brother, she is jus a devil in disguise.... Let u guys see her disgusting face...

The one is white, jus in front of me. Got a 欠打 face... Dun u think so?

The one in pink. Trying to act friendly to her fellow contestant... Big face and big smile. Yucks... I can imagine her saying those politically correct but fake ans during next pageant again...

8th October 2006 Sunday
A good day for marriage...


Jus got back from Caihui's and her hubby - Alvin's wedding. Feel happy yet shocked cos I was only informed 2 weeks ago. I guess bcos Alvin is going States soon and she is going over with him so tat's y they are getting married so soon. Anyway, really happy and touched for her. It's a really simple wedding cum lunch reception at Rochester Park. A v nice place indeed. Nice ambience... The food was good and the service wasnt that bad too as they really served many different drinks. You want soft drinks, they have. Juices, they also have. Needless to say about wine, liquor and beer...

Oh ya, I think it is also one of the rare occasion that I see Ah huay in dress. V pretty bride cos she is slim and t
all... Will show you the photos later. Anyway, we (001, 003, Kaye, Edlyn, Joyce and me were the last to leave the place) haha.. we were really enjoying the drinks, food and atmosphere there and at the same time catching up too. It's really nice to have friends around...

We left the place abt 3pm and got a lift from E
dlyn to AMK mrt. Heard frm the radio tat today is a good day to get married cos the DJ's 2 friends are going for wedding dinner tonight. And Joyce also said tat she will b going for another wedding dinner later at night. Oh.. these 2 days are really auspicious to get married is it?

Anyway, it's Monday tml again... Hope time flies pass and I really cant wait for next week to cme cos there will b
4 days of PSLE marking, in other words, no need to teach and my dear is finally coming back from States on 20th Oct. I hope his boss wont change the date again. Cant wait to see him and his presents.. Hehe... Ok, enjoy the photos we took at Ah Huay's wedding...

Oh ya, went Vivo City with Jane yest. A really big place but many shops were not open. There's a place for pple to view the scenery jus like HK's the Peak. I really like it but jus tat yest haze was really bad, cant really see much... Will go there again aft the grand opening...

The bride and the groom...

Exchanging vows and rings...

Me, 003 and the flowers (ther's lime on it, so interesting...)

Me, Kaye, 003 (Cheryl), Edlyn, 001 (Xiuyong) and Joyce...
