Just went to the Talking Cock website and had a jolly good laugh about their recent posts! Damn funny man! =)

Had a lovely afternoon watching Ublues in concert at The Esplanade lunchtime concert. They were damn bloody good man! Very very shiok to listen to them! Realised how impt it was for the band to be present. As much as it seemed more like a jamming session for them, the music was still damned gd. The company was also very nice(even tho I was late! ;p) and it was definitely worth the darned blisters that I got from rushing there cos I woke up late :/ Oh well, better to test the shoes out now than later! Then had to go and buy plaster all cos they were really blistering. *grumble mumble*

That's also why I decided to come home early...and also to practice my parts for the choir thing tmw. Am a bit worried la cos apparently all the pple singing are like damn zai...and Norman was telling me tt they're really talented. Oh well, if nothing else, I will get to rub shoulders with these 'stars' and perhaps learn abit from them. It should be an experience since I've never done choral singing before. The music is really beautiful...just hope I don't kill it when I start singing lah.

Cantoring on sunday was...kinda good...in the sense that apparently my singing was alright...and many pple thought it was nice. But then, I didn't achieve the 'emo' look...or as Samuel tells me, - to emote. my mom said I just looked emotionless! =( Oh well, and then I also slipped after putting the book/bible thingy of gospels on the altar. Nearly sprained my ankle. So unglam!!! But I suppose what really mattered was the singing lah. But as long as it managed to touch the congregation I shld be content!

Oh! And had another lovely morning playing badminton yesterday and afternoon by having a meeting with Jo, Wayne and Bern for the CGL recollection and it was so fun!! It's gonna be damn exciting man! =)

Sigh...a lovely afternoon suddenly spoilt by this lady calling me up whose story I shouldn't mention. I shall not make myself unhappy. Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts!! =)

Decided to put up some photos!!

Here's one of the whole family...during the Father's Day "Lame Jokes Fest". Check out how my bros are trying to look tall beside me. -_- They damn bad rite! The ones on my left are tip-toeing! Lidat also shiok! But I think it's a nice photo =)



Then there was tuesday's lunch at Equinox. A bit dark...but still nice!



And finally what happened today!

Us at Haagen Dazs!

Went with the CGLCs and Shane to Haagen Dazs at Esplanade today. Took a few nice pics... The one thing tt I really don't regret abt this year is the fact tt I had the opportunity to work with such wonderful pple like Wayne, Jo and Bern. I've never enjoyed myself so much before! Love u guys!

After the ice-cream went for mass at Novena with Shane...then met Mr PWC to watch The First Disciple in church. Lets just say I really hope Francis doesn't turn out like tt. But somehow, there's always some sort of a flaw in every production. The First Disciple had very nice arrangement and good music..but the directing and singing cldn't quite make it la. Oh well...we'll c...

Ok..now it's taken long enuff to upload the darned new photos this week to webshots. Time to sleep! Dad's having 'take-home' exam tmw...so helping him type it out in the office. Lets hope I don't fall asleep man!!

Quite a few things happening recently. Mostly happy stuff...but they're all swimming inside my head in a kinda happy swirl so abit difficult to write it all down.Also been thinking quite a bit(so the thought hamster is still running in the wheel)

Enjoyed tuesday immensely with Marie at Equinox for lunch. Thank you for that lovely lunch dear! Took lotsa photos and went for the Tower New Zealand Youth Choir concert. That was quite gd I must say! Not absolutely fanastic but there were parts where the music was so sweet I wanted to cry.

Yeah..then we walked past the Linkin Park concert(which was already disturbing the shit out of us in the concert hall cos it was so nearby and the sound was so amazingly loud).

Well..so rediscovered my love for Maori music and New Zealand! As well as David Tao cos we sang so many of his songs tt day at KTV with Weilin.

Had a jolly good Father's Day with my family....and had a "Lame Joke Fest" during lunch which was hilarious! But yeah...it's nice to spend time with the family!!

Umm..in other news...went to play badminton in Bishan this morn, which was nice...together with some arts pple whom I haven't seen much of...pple like Jo and Wayne It's always nice to haf a gd wk out during badminton(altho I'm like damn tired) and it's always nice having company all the way frm Tanah Merah to these damn far away places. *blink* :) And yup..been seeing lotsa Shane recently. Hmm.

Currently listening to: David Tao - Black Tangerine

Hmm...feeling thoughtful as in full of thoughts. Yeah. Hmm... =)

*Post specially for Nick Netto who thinks I went to pak tor again today*

I went on a "date" again. And we met up early in the morning to have breakfast then went for lunch time mass. So holy-ly romantic right? Then we had lunch and spent most of tea at Pacific coffee gazing into each other's eyes since there was really nothing to do.

This was also why I decided to wear nicely today and dress up a bit.
Ok, if your name's Nick Netto you can stop reading my post now. NOW! =)

*rolls eyes* I didn't go on a date today and was actually dressed up cos it was needed for the FOC skit in sch which I just attended. Forgot my dance steps and must've looked like a cock. But oh well, my standards are different from everyone and I should just stop having such high expectations cos then I'll just make everyone unhappy.

Yeah...twas nice meeting up with old man today. Haven't seen him in such a long time! And as usual...the target of the conversation was me -- the usual suanning of Andrea. :/

Can't believe tt my mother was actually telling me abt my 'shelf-life' and saying tt it'd be best tt I found someone within the next 5 yrs cos then if not it'll be too late liao. And she just reminded me tt the older I get, the smaller pool of guys I have to choose from. So I'd better go overseas and start looking for those good guys. Oh, and they must be Malaysian cos she feels tt they're not as pampered as our S'porean wusses here who don't have to worry about money and have the govt looking after them.

Well...i guess she has a point somewhere but then...it's just strange tt I'm supposed to be on the lookout now. And she was giving me this analogy about Fish in the Ocean and how we should not always fish at the same spot...(which also means go overseas)and how if I don't fish now then later on I'll only be left with the type tt's small and lousy or the type tt I don't like to eat. *double roll eyes*

As if I don't have enough to worry about already!!!

Hmm...slept too much liao..now my mind is swirling with thoughts and not giving me any rest!

Maybe also worried abt the Theatre Ministry skit tmw...we must give them a good impression! And not foul up dance steps!!

And in other news...meeting up wit Old Man tmw! Yay! =)

Had a good reason to go for mass today...cos one lady wanted to collect her tix and pass me a cheque. Well, I suppose tt cld be God's way of motivating me to go for mass when sometimes I just can't get off my lazy ass.

But then in a funny way I was late...is tt God's fault? I made it early to the bus stop..and yet the straight bus just wouldn't come! Yet there were so many of the other bus tt I cld take but had to change la. =( In the end I still had to change bus cos it was damn late and I was still late for mass! I wonder if He's trying to tell me sthg.

Then the Homily today was very good. Compared to yesterday's mumbling priest (cos he was so old) today's was Fr Paul frm Novena. Abit slow too but his sermon spoke volumes for me. Something like "God said we had to love our enemies, but he didn't say that we had to like them" haha...something very useful to think about. And the reaction of anger or resentment or huge dislike for a person is only a feeling. There is nothing wrong with it...but the thing is what we do with that negative feeling and change it into something positive.

Yup...so the thing is to pray for your enemies or the pple you dislike. Makes sense. =)

Another long day...which was actually relatively fun in the sense tt I didn't have to stress very much. Finally watched Potter! But the book is really so much better.

Had lotsa time in btw appointments so cld wander around...go shopping...go for mass. =) So my evening was really quite nice esp spending it wif Mello... it's a nice change not to talk abt Francis at all!

Yeah so anyway....felt a bit inspired to put up a rather angsty song. Hmm...sthg which was my anthem quite a few months ago. It's from Forbidden City the musical which I felt was damn gd and the way Leigh MacDonald sang it (with such energy and all) was very nice. Hmm...which reminds me...she's teaching a course on musical theatre...dunno whether I shld go and sign up or not. Only thing is tt it's damn ex and might not really help me in career or stuff....juz for my interest....

K la anyway...here's the song before I go off to sleep till 2pm tmw! All those who think it's pig-like -- too bad la! I haf been awake and out for more than 18 hrs liao! Tmw is my day of rest!

(Oh shucks...can't rem the title of the song...nvm lets hope I manage to get all the lyrics. Hmm..haf a feeling I can't rem all either. Nvm..if it's wrong I'll just edit tmw)

Falling in love is just that, falling -
Out of control of your heart and your soul
Falling in love is just that falling-
That's how it feels falling head over heels...

Why love when love hurts?
Why love when love ends?
I know how it feels when it turns and pretends...
It ends with the pain and the making amends
Why love when there's peace in the making of friends?

Losing your heart is just that, losing -
Too high a cost, when it's given it's lost
Losing your heart is just that, losing -
Been there before I can't take anymore...

It's been a long long day...started off not too well..but then it just got better as the day progressed(altho i was also progressively tired) and then fell into shambles at the last min.

Was just telling Shane tt I have an anti-shopping mechanism which auto gives me quite a bad backache after having shopped for more than 2 hrs. So lousy!! Which is why I rather detest shopping!

Yeah...juz did a major POK thing by inviting PWC along to the Stiff Gins concert which Shane told me abt. And when PWC asked me what I was doing tonight I just stupidly told him. Aargh such a POK man!!! And as it turns out...things were awkward. Thank God for my dad's car!! If not I'd hafta haf gone home wif him.

So I felt like twas all my fault for ruining what was initially intended to be a nice night out. Bah! Crap! But oh well, no use crying over spilt milk as James was telling me so no pt feeling shitty anyway.

Yeah...so I shall focus on what I bought today! For the amt of money we spent I think we got a really good deal with lotsa clothes! And my goodness! I didn't know dresses are all the rage
now! Piangz...i must be really aunty lor...super haven't been shopping at all...Isetan was just chock full of these super duper girly thingies..which I eventually got persuaded by my mom to get a few.2 to be precise. Heh....I think it must be a conspiracy -- she's trying to get me to be more feminine!! And we nearly bought a pair of happening shoes except for the fact tt it was a bit uncomfortable. Oh well..tt juz means more shopping in order to complete my incomplete wardrobe!! kekekeke

Alrighty...after all tt bimbo stuff I shall go and sleep. Tmw still need to get up to go holy fam and issue tix. Sigh..there goes my sunday morning! (Well at least I got gd company la I suppose!) =)

Feeling rather photo happy...so decided to upload a few pics onto my blog!

Here's what I did over the weekend -- Went for Ballet Under the Stars!(BUTS) And here's a lovely photo of us gan1 bei1-ing!




I felt tt last yrs perf was better, altho the company wasn't tt fantastic (and I don't mean you Weilin!) cos they did a more classical piece. This year's one was abit too abstract and boring...except for the Queen segment which was more funny and entertaining than beautiful la. I'm usually awed by the beauty of the entire thing.

But anyways the food was great and as I was telling most of them tts the most impt part of BUTS!! Haha...tts the pig in me speaking.

Then monday went to sch to settle my honours stuff and then for rehearsal...

Hmm..here's a totally out of pt picture but I thought quite cute cos my bro was trying out new things with the camera and he was trying to be funny. heh




Went on a 'date' on tuesday...which was really quite enjoyable(and not as scandalous as it sounds)..but more abt tt some other time. =)

Then basically nuaed the whole day at home...had a very good rest I must say! haha....very relac ah!

And lastly (as I run out of things to say) and wanna go and sleep, here's a pic of me trying to look cute. Er...or actually...i was juz grinning away...not really trying to look cute la! ;p




Heh...and the most unglam thing is tt u can see my extremely messy study in the backgrd.

Some pple are just so cute!
hahahaha

Thank you God for giving me friends who both give me 'wake up calls
' and make me laugh. =)

Been so busy this week!! Plus with all the dance rehearsals for the FOC play...my body feels like it's gonna shut down any moment now.

Well....seems like a v difficult time for most of us...all I can say is pray hard everyone..and let us take strength from the fact tt we're doing all this for God. Don't give up!

It's been quite a lovely weekend...and day...Bintan was relaxing and restfull...as well as quite fun together with Marie! Didn't bring my digicam so no photos...cos I also got no scanner to scan in the ones we took on her camera. Well....too bad! U all can't get to see me in my bikini!(yeah rite...as if!)

Hahaha...am still trying to figure out the reason for my sudden spate of madness tonight. Could be a couple of reasons...maybe also cos it's late at nite...tts when i transform into this siao charbor. Or mostly the stuff tt happened today, some tt lifted my spirits more than others...guess the main thing was...hmm...many main things. Ok la, in short

1) Mass at St Ignatius...brought me a great sense of peace and joy today...even tho it was a bit strange sitting alone but tt was gd cos it gave me more time to reflect on my own. There was also this guy with a very nice voice sitting behind me..so I was enveloped with this lovely sound whenever he spoke or sang. =)
2) The wonderful company esp for foc play rehearsal, lunch, and then later francis rehearsal(altho tt event was one of my main peeves too) and not to mention the CGLCs.
3) Somebody thought i looked cute (today only)!*wink* and someone called me Andrea Bocelli hahahahaha

Yeah. And I have managed to improve a bit more on the FOC dance...wah lau...my thighs ache every single time we practice! But it's fun learning wif u guys! Next thing to work on is the 'say' or the style man...I'm so unfunky when it comes to dance lor! Cannot make it man.

I just think how gd it was tt I decided not to be lazy and go for mass. I think I need it before going for every rehearsal man. Will need a lot of prayers for strength and patience and understanding! I think it's a major occupational hazard having studied TS. There were so many things tt juz needed to be done properly tt juz wasn't. It is a real bad idea to go down cos then I'd juz end up worrying abt so many things, getting angry/irritated wif pple. Plus it also means spending less time wif my mom. Oh well, mass helps. It is most comforting....perhaps it's a time for me to draw closer to God. Maybe then I'll understand his plan for me in all this. *sings*In His time....

So anyway...it's late again and I've started off the whole series of sleeping late again..cos keep having happening nites out haha. Sigh and I have to go for camp tmw...Gd Nite world!
