Apples and Trees

scary looking couple i noe. but this was the puppet show i went to last weekend with the family at act3 international. free tickets courtesy of my sis in-law. the plot revolves around a loving old couple, an alcoholic drag queen, a zombie and an apple tree. but the fingerwork of the performers were smooth and the music + lighting was perfect. i love the music. have been googling and asking at music stores but cun seem to find any. it's a uk band, scary looking trio producing great music, if falsetto's ur cup of tea.

so are u loving it already?

Dinner for Tonight

not to sound like an ungrateful daughter but this is not the usual for dinner, Mum.

wat can i say, my mum's got some sense of humour. though the only thing missing next to the plate is the can opener.

Visiting the Garden

while it could be insufferably boring for some, visiting the singapore botanic gardens for the very first time was quite an experience for me. throwing myself into the arms of mother nature after a full week of crap at work and repressed anger was quite liberating. all the greens and flora, how could it not be?

more exaggerated details at xuefang's blog. =p but really, the day was productive. having the company of a great fren, soaking up the sun (and rain), meeting new ppl (like somewhere there's a father with his hot lawyer son working in spore), shopping in town, and completing a whole season 2 of sex and the city. all in a day.

Nation's 43rd Bday

while wat may seemed like the whole of singapore was at the marina, the group of us found ourselves at viv's love nest (yet again) - but for the same purpose of celebrating the nation's 43rd bday. yes, happy bday singapore, can we start with wii already? ok so they (or shd i say we) put up a good show for the parade, but really, its just the same thing over and over again so much so that jeral could already tell us wat's happening next. and i mean besides the fact tt its way overshadowed by the olympics opening? wii's more interesting indeed. but somehow, someway, the siao-on host still got us to sing along to the national anthem, waving the flags and reciting the pledge - much to winnie's astonishment. well, im kinda thinking its the water.

//was supposed to start on my performance review, which is coming up this thurs. and here i am blogging online and watching sex and the city (ironically loaned by the manager). certainly hope i dun start on season 2 tmr.
