Post Joey Concert

finally got my computer fixed. but still not fully functionable yet. i mean wat gd is a computer w/o microsoft office and a sound device?? kns now i cant watch my Heroes online. sigh. well, at least now i can find time to blog.

so. joey was fantastics. her singing. her dancing. her costumes. her figure! only thing was we were seated quite far back to see her and i was also abit controlled, dun wanna scare my new fren with my screaming. heh. but at the end of it i dragged him to the front (most ppl were leaving anyway) and had to stand on the chairs to get a better view of joey. so pretty lor. ok will stop, sounding abit of a groupie here.

anyway, im desperately wanting to go the grasshoppers concert on 9 may. had a fren who backed out last min. sigh. so if you noe of anyone who would wanna go, pls let me noe! willing to go with anyone (sanity intact, non-psychopathic-looking and err, other conditions apply) yes yes, desperate times calls for desperate measures! so hear from ya!

Joey Yung Starlight Singapore Concert

yeah! im gg!! =D

Post Bazaar

tts all the pics i have for now. will post more. but one thing i have to say, selling old stuff is fun. you'd always be surprised at wat ppl buy. kk more in a bit. seriously need rest. running 2 bazaars within a week is taxing. and i suspect more will come.

Fashion Bazaar

This coming weekend i'll be at Kallang Leisure Mall to lelong my pre-loved stuff on both sat and sun from 11-11. i've cleared out half my wardrobe of mostly new and worn-once clothes, bags and shoes just for this. so pls come support, drop by to say hello or show your disapproval of my shopping habits! =p And if you are interested to sell your stuff, you can follow this link to the organiser's website for upcoming events. Cya this weekend!

Gender Issues

giving my ears a break. damn it hurts, and my earrings arent even real gold. these days, i can't go out without bigass earrings to feminise myself. (wearing skirts is really not an alternative option) that so if i dun wanna end up being mistaken for a boy for a third time. yes, it happened a second time in the ladies. sigh. i think im getting used to it already. but sometimes i swear i get stares from people. like they're taking a second glance to make sure im not a man in drag. hahaa! i find this hilarious, comparing myself with those psycho ah peks. wats up with these uncles anyway? like the world is not in enough mess as it is now.

speaking of mess, here's a song-of-e-moment video to share.

Earth Hour

Turning your lights off for an hour is not much. but its still a start. Make a difference. http://www.earthhour.org

got caught in the rain. again. and got totally drenched on both counts. time to bring out the umbrella i guess.

oh yes! HAVE to share this. favvie of the moment, Khalil Fong. His Orange Moon album is awesome! this song with fiona sit is from another older album though. enjoy!

方大同- 四人游

On Turning 26...

that dreadful number. i get a shudder everytime i see it. yes, getting quite sensitive abt digits recently. the age, the weight, the waistline, the cash balance. omg its depressing. the only good abt bdays is the gathering of frens and family, feeling the love, stuffing ourselves with food and of cos, receiving presents!

lunch at kushinbo. yes, mr leong, the foods not really fantastics.

dinner at sis' place. lovely food by chef j. kwok.cake cutting! the kids love to blow candles btw, i wonder y.

dim sum at chinatown with the gals. (sorry no better pic to post)

so although i may complain, i still love bdays. cos hey, at least im still alive ritez? hahs. anyway, thank you all, for the bday wishes, gifts and being such great ppl! love ya~ and to some, although i may forget urs, jus noe that i wish u well in everything that you do. =)

and before i forget again, Happy CNY to all!

Niece & Nephew's Bday

year end is the time for celebrations. xmas, new year, and bdays. this year, sis decided to hold the kids' bday on the same day. good for her, good for me. cos me no need to decor twice. heh. anyway, i recycled last year's banner but added some color to it. dun ask me abt next yr, i dun wanna think abt it yet.

the bday banner.

the bday cake.

the feast

the bday boy and girl.

the family.

From all of us:

Happy Bday, Nicole and Jayden! Muaccksss!

Last Post for the Year

after ages of inactivity, i tot i might sneak in one last post for the year - or infinitely. so xmas this year - nothing elaborate, just a simple dinner with the family on xmas day itself and lunch with frens on the 3rd day of xmas. did some seriously last min shopping on xmas eve and hence the bo sim gifts (sorry frens) and lack of pictures of handmade gifts this year (apart from a couple of knitted purses. another post next time). *sigh* truth is, im not inspired nor in the mood for the celebrations or anything for that matter. think im getting old and all the energy and enthusiasm are somehow being sucked outta me. yes, i am in need of some excitement. anyone wants to go bungee jump a cliff with me or sth?

Halloween Day

friday at work was abit crazy. i reached the office to find a whole bunch of scary characters running wild - fallen angels, witches, wizards, monsters, devils, phantoms, supermen.. there's even sweeney todd and mr. bean. well, the staff at the store decided to make halloween big and play dress up for the day. i, in my tee and jeans, obviously didnt prepare for it. someone just threw me a hat for the pic. hahaa.. but it was rather interesting, seeing my colleagues gg all the way on this day for the customers. ok more pics soon.

Spelling Lessons?

this is nicole and she's turning 5 in a few months. and the piece of paper proudly pinned to her bedroom door carries the names of everyone dear to her. and according to nicole, we love to play *heart*

but having taken a closer look at it, i was saddened that i do not feature in nicole's world. everyone's in it. jasmin, her 舅母, jeffrey, her 舅舅, cynthia, her mummy, derek, her daddy, jayden, her brother, poh poh, her 婆婆. by golly, even her plush toy, pig bao bao, had its name on it. so feeling slightly indignant, i asked her abt it. and you nv would have guessed. her response threw me off completely.

nicole pointed to the extra 2 "E"s on her name and say "got lah, its here! Yi Yi!"

sigh. im thinking someone needs to send her kid for some spelling lessons soon.

唯独你是不可取替

short update. been busy watching my 管家仔. i tell you, the show's hugely addictive. i find myself tearing away from the tv every nite and dragging myself off the bed in the morning. and rite now, im sick due to lack of slp. yes, the evilness of the show but im loving it. few more episodes to go and i shall savour every last min of it. anyway song of the day. cun get enuff of it, it's on repeat single track on my player for the past few weeks.

唯獨你是不可取替 - Sammi Cheng

and just when i tot im getting tired of it.. i found this and fell in love...

youtube his other videos pls. his name's 黄嘉威

Train Man

so its october already. seriously, i hafnt a clue on wat i've been doing for the past mth. work's been kind of a drag lately and i wonder how long i can stay on in my current position. there's no challenge, no excitement, no satisfaction, and obviously no pay increment. just the same thing over and over again. even my gay boss' jokes arent that funny anymore. the only slight pleasure i get is in the morning when im on my way to work, sth reminiscent of the Train Man. its all very silly but wat do u noe, me aint the only one being silly. *nudges winnie* anyway, will bitch more abt work another time. and also on my first (and last) walkathon, the trials and tribulations of knitting and my stupid aching jaw. but slp for now.

Let The Engines Roar

i've finally decided to be kind and stop scaring u visitors by updating this god forsaken space. i noe, its the same fucking puppets everytime u enter this page.

and speaking of tt, congrats to my dear fren on getting herself a baby! though its not under the ideal circumstances that this was announced, i am still very happy for u. dun lose slp over tt issue lah, we'll meet up soon ok? but its weird how ur name pops up when i come across books at work, particularly titles tt run along the line of controlling ur emotions during pregnancy.... ok bad joke.

emotions also ran wild at work for me the other day. i nv really knew how it would be to jus lose it without considering the consequences. now i noe, though nothing really bad has happened right in my face yet. and to think of it, work's not really a popularity contest where u haf to win over everyone to ur side. no, i do not have a problem with tt, though i shd haf realised it sooner.

and i've come to realise tt people ard me are slowly, but surely changing. and i mean apart from some who seemed to have expanded and grew more distant. take tis fren who i've not spoken to for quite awhile and prob the last person on earth i tot would tok to me abt marriage. and there the other nite, he's preaching to me abt the importance and responsibility we have to marry and procreate. and i tot soccer and gaming were the most impt things in his life.

funny it seems im on a roll here, picking up relationships where i've left them. just hope i'll start where i'd stopped.

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.
