Wheeeeeeee!

Hmm..

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

When we say best friends forever, we mean it.

Just to catch up on what's happening..

Meeting up with the Mountaineers! Tea at Oriole's Cafe

Farewell Thor! Take care!

Jotting down some quick notes.

I'm stuck at home, sick of some viral flu infection that I caught. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be back at work and moving around! Yay! It's quite boring to be stuck at home while sick. Fever saps wayyyyy too much energy... euck..

Meanwhile.. temping ends this week. Whilst I will be glad to have some time off before I start work officially, I will miss the funny funny people and the PAY. ha..

This Sunday is the 4.5km run! I hope that I will recover in time for the run or else I train so much but come to nought in the end. *cross my fingers*

Too much office work has caused me to contemplate taking up tennis. Seems like quite a fun sport. Maybe I will buy myself a tennis racquet once I've confirm taking it up. Mandy, are you game? haha

And.. I'm flushed anew. Time to go shoppingggggg! I have 3 weeks before work to lose weight and to buy more clothes. Office work and no control really causes me to put on weight. A lifestyle that is too sedentary is NO GOOD! Need to work out!!

Hmm..

Also..

MJ is dead.

The King of Pop has passed on and the world who knew him mourns for his passing.

The world that did not know him, grieves for the lack of knowing for another like him who has the talent for song writing, the skill of artful dance and the ability to touch your heart through his actions would not come so soon.

Artsy..

There's one thing that is quite sad about not having enough money is that you can't go on holidays overseas...


And stuck in our sunny island of Singapore, what is there to do, besides the never-ending movies shown at the theatres, the GSS that we are supposed to be actively spending on in order to stimulate our economy?


*ponder*


Why not see what does the local arts scene have to offer?

In the past couple of weeks, I have been to Own Time Own Target (OTOT)as well as Ballet Under that Stars (BUTS).

In OTOT, what I have come to realise that the Singaporean brand of humour is unique to its homeland. This is of course assured by Singaporean's own tourism campaign whereby we are Uniquely Singapore. Why is this so?

The first show of OTOT, Full tank!, a story whereby a runaway tank captures an escaped terrorist reveals the depth of Singaporean humour. We laugh at others who are representative of ourselves (Am I paid to do your job for you?) and glimpse at the political criticism with regards to the dealing of escape of Mas Selamat. The 'sex scene' was crude and totally uncalled for. The political tirade unleashed on the reporter was not further developed on and the escape of the 'fainted' terrorist was not funny. Along with half the story being scripted in vulgarities, I wonder if Singaporean humour is just that much or did I miss a more subtle message encrypted in the story.

The second story of Botak Boys provided a look at the BMT days of freshly recruited boys. I felt that this story was more reflective of the Singaporean society. The inter-racial mix of an Indian, Malay and Chinese much better than the flamboyance of the Full Tank team. The three Chinese boys also carried the sterotypical Christian boy, the Ah-beng as well as the overseas educated Kantang (Potato). It made the show more relevant as we would have encountered such characters in our daily lives, Perhaps I am biased by my enjoyment of the songs in the second show but I felt that it was more interesting compared to the first where there was too much unknown and angst underlying the reason for the runaway tank. The freudian scene of the dreams by the gay BMT boy was a little overwhelming although the plot of friendship was sweetly poignant.

I have to say that I expected more musical than play and this probably contributed to the letdown of Full tank in my opinion. That being said, I felt that the Botak Boys made up for it and made the price of my ticket worthwhile.

Ballet under the stars (BUTS) was my first time at a concert in a park. The comfortable atmosphere of a picnic in a park, together with an appealing performance of ballet was awesome! It took away the cultural pompousness that one would expect for a ballet performance for those not educated in dance. The performance was graceful and beautiful although at times the classical ballet items seems too long and draggy. Contemporary ballet was more interesting and captivated the audience more. Company of other picnickers who brought wine, food or families also helped to make the overall atmosphere more friendly. However, I felt that the lucky draw was too much and too boring despite understanding the rationale behind it. The ballet dancers needed some rest and needed to change but the emcee could have prepared more for it. Lame jokes that failed to engage the audience made the audience restless and was incongruent with the whole graceful and classy performance of the dance theatre.

Overall, considering that we split the cost of one ticket of $21 between the three of us (Leong redeemed another two free), the performance was quite worth it. Particularly since the weather was good and thankful that there was no rain, the picnic was also a fun-filled experience.

As for paying full price for the tickets in the future, I wouldn't mind going with a bigger group of friends, a larger picnic basket and a more comfortable seating(Now I see the need for the group bringing lots of cushions and pillows, despite sniggering at their trouble prior to the performance).

Next up! SINGdollar~

Birthdays

I lika lika!
Nice catchy sound to it.. ahaha

This year.. I'll be reluctantly 23.

Japan.

今年の五月からの休みに日本へ行きました。友達と私は大阪と京都と奈良と東京へ行きました。大阪と京都はとてもきれいです。私たちは大阪城公園へ行きました、でも桜を見ませんでした。そして、私たちは京都の八坂神社へ行きました。夜の寺は静かですが、きれいです。東京はとてもにぎやかです。

日本の生活は楽しいです。日本の食べ物はおいしいですが、高いです。私は日本とてもが好きです。

来年の五月の休みに北海道へ行きませんか？:)

Bcos Adam Lambert is sooo smexy..

Mad World lyrics
Songwriters: Orzabal, Roland;

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

Children waitin' for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sits and listen, sits and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever hadI find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever hadI find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world
A raunchy young world
Mad world
