Yet Another..

yet another post on songs im currently crazy abt. i wonder if there is a term for my condition? anyway i didnt noe jeff chang could speak in cantonese. but his rendition of 习惯失恋 is the best i've heard so far. 草蜢 has also performed it before. nice stuff too.

old news i noe, but jacky cheung is coming for yet another concert. and im going! again! tell me im not out of my mind. ok, relatively sane cos i bought the $88 tickets. though i really would want to pay for front seats if i could. cos the best seats were snapped up so fast we tot it wun be worth paying tt much to be seated rows behind. and guess wat, after the tickets were bought, another show was added on the 5th! jacky jacky, i love and hate you so.

x'mas is round the corner and gifts need to be decided on. not that im running short of ideas, in fact there's quite a few options i dunno wat to do! hmm.. maybe i should just create one of each and let them choose. hah!

The Little Black Dress

cool little book. with a chilly price too. $73.44. i think it's bcos of the word VINTAGE/TREASURE/BOTH that's imprinted. hah. but i bought it at a sale for $20 at bras basah. still unreasonably priced i feel, for a 30 odd paged book. but i guess its quite a steal. the dresses featured were lovely, am hoping i can re-create something from it. and oh, did i mention the book had a full picture of audrey hepburn too? now that, would be well-worth the $20.

sat with miss zhuang was quite a pocket burner. apart from coercing me to get the above mentioned book, she wanted lunch at some fancy restaurant and high tea at some other pricey cafe. seriously high maintenance lah she. i was just glad SAM was entrance free. dun get me wrong, im not actually complaining, just trying to save up for my "spinster" fund (private joke) hahaha!

Shooting Stars

Friday evening was sth new. i went for a musical with someone cantonese, and quite an expert in canto oldies too. anyway, the musical was staged entirely in cantonese, and it was a really good show. the actors were great and the songs were awesome. some were even delivered like it was a concert. and yes, tt includes the actor running down-stage to shake hands with the audience, along with security to hoist off delirious fans. totally amusing.

i would think the team banked heavily on the names of the 2 great singers to draw a crowd. and clearly it did. most of the audience were in their 30s - 50s, who like me, were drawn by their songs. but at the end of the show, despite the glitz and all, a message was brought across. i guess i can never listen to leslie cheung's 追 the same way i had before. tt particular scene of him sinking into depression and with each word of the song affected me somehow. *emo emo*

all in all, i enjoyed the performance thoroughly and am hoping that they'll bring more of such shows to s'pore. but for now, i gotta go google for the awesomely nice songs sung during the show.

軟硬 Long Time No See

wahahaha! i almost died laughing after having watched this! esp the individual dance highlight, tt kot guy is hilarious!

Intensely

"The pain is so intense because the joy was so intense."


How true.


Being robbed of the joy pains.


But sometime, somewhere, somehow, the pain will cease...


... for joy and hope to come through.

Oh The Drama!

the past few days have been an emotional roller coaster ride for me. ya, things arent exactly going well. im keeping my fingers crossed at the moment, that the worst has come and GONE, and that better things WILL come my way. (say, my bonus? hehe.) im jus glad that i was out with frens after the news was delivered, helping me to take my mind off the dreaded fact/decision to be made. ya, in times like these, frens, abit of mahjong, food and laughter helps. thanks, pals. =)

was at northpoint for lunch on sat and saw someone who i've not seen for ages. (and there you go thinking nothing interesting could ever happen in plain ol' northpoint.) would have missed her completely if mum hadnt pointed out to me. funny that mum would say she's the xian qi liang mu fren i haf, and that she was actually quoting me. i dun rem saying that at all, to me, she's just hoonie. i would have smiled or waved, and things might somehow develope. but well, i guess its all fate.

anyway, anyone noe the titles of the songs here?

okayyy, just trying my luck.

//The 3rd song is 誰可改變 by Alan Tam.

Oh Holly!

guess wat came in today?

muahahah!


i was positively ecstatic abt receiving the posters since the day i won the bid, but the t-shirt threw me off completely. thanks fren, for the somewhat pleasant surprise. though i think u wouldnt be expecting the gesture to be returned (soon or at all), too short a notice to be in time for ur bday. hah!

// i bought a magnet the other day at suntec. tell me, y am i spending so much money on her?

Life Expectancy

despite my scepticism abt the possibility in the miraculous development of a superhuman reading speed, a miracle has indeed occured.


not to sound boastful or inflate this 'miracle', i have finished reading a 400 odd paged hardback by dean koontz. within 4 days. tts fast, by my standards. hmm, i might get to complete a third of wat i hope if i keep this pace.


and if you're a book buff and have not read any of his books yet, i recommend that u start now. though his works are mainly thrillers, i was laughing out loud while reading. no, not at the tragic and often gruesome end of the psychopath's victims (im not perverse in that sense) but at the dark humour he slips in almost habitually.


as u can tell, im not really good at giving a book review, and i shall not attempt any further. just go grab his books from the stores, write a review on it on facebook and expect a tinkle from me soon. *winks*
