SBG said bye when i said "Bye SBG"

Hahaha! Yes the superboy genius replied when I said "Bye SBG". Funny.

Princess Hours

Oh dear... new obsession... This is bad....

Fly Away

Fly away to another skin.
A tough one, a pretty one.
That won't let the madness in...
Won't let the sadness in...

I heard David sing this song in this video clip I downloaded. It sounded very sad and I think (I use the word "think" because the clip only had David sing a part of the song, hehehe) it's about this woman who was jaded with life. And it's times like this when I listen to it over and over again. Yes, I feel down and tired, though I try not to be :). But well... it's hard to stay cheerful all the time. Ok, yes yes yes, I know... I should be grateful for my doting parents and idiot bro, my bunch of wacky friends and the new friends I have made recently... and I'm glad. Glad to really know CJ (those Uni days don't count), Robarto Hantari, the Darth Vader Khoo and Ah Beng whom I'm glad is working hard now and seem less sian. Hahahaha. Plus, getting to go ktv with this bunch of crazy ppl who sits in the NEXT aisle for 3 years and yet hardly tried to get to know one another better till only recently. Fate sometimes work in funny ways, don't you think. Like me only getting to know Bao, Ms Lai, Zhi and Chunyu in JC (and we weren't in the same JC) and Uni even though we were classmates for years before that. Or that I'm drifting apart from my buddies who I chatted nonstop on the phone when I was a kid. The reason why I am talking about all these? I have no idea either... But ah well.... life goes on. Gambate ne! Tmr is another day.

A big big patch of earth with lots of grass would be very comforting now.... but since I can't have that, let's have David croon me another sad song. Tonite is wallow in misery night. Kekekeke.

A Big Big Piece of Grass and Not a Little Bit of Earth

A colleague mentioned to me one day about wanting to just lay down on the giant piece of grassland and just laze there the entire day.... which made me remember that long ago, whenever I felt sad... I would just imagine that I'm alone on this big piece of grass (with just a nice big tree) that extends miles and miles and that's all that I can see.... no buildings, nobody around. And the air is nice and cold... and I can really breathe...

Which brings me to my point. Bao, can we Perth in october? Please please please, pretty please with sugar and chocolate sprinklings and a Mraz cd? Haha.

A Little Night Music

The dinner at Hougang Mall with my daughter has been fruitful. I found a Lea Salonga broadway concert DVD selling at 12.90 bucks. Wohoo. It has all my favorite songs in it. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. This is what singing is all about. It's to pull the audience into another world :). And it kinda made me remember why I took up those musical theatre classes ages ago. Frightening to have to sing in front of a class.... alone. But... wooo... thrilling. Now I'm even more deteremined to go audition for the NAFA class in Nov. Wish me luck!

Anyway, Lea Salonga is the voice behind alot of the disney cartoons like Mulan and the Little Mermaid, plus she is the original Kim in Broadway's Miss Saigon. She has beautiful beautiful voice and the repertoire of songs in the dvd are the ones I like alot :-

1) Someone Else's Story from Chess
Heard this first at the Leigh McDonald little cabaret at esplanade and thought it was gorgeous.

2) Someone to watch over me from ... erm... no idea...
Been singing this for ages. I think I heard it in a Michael Ball album... But Lea Salonga did a wonderful job of this one. It was sung pretty softly with just a guitar. Never heard it sung like that before. One of my favorites in the concert.

3) I've Never Been in Love Before from Guys and Dolls
Pretty.

4) Nothing from a Chorus Line
Funny... and a little sad.... but it's a positive song that shouts if you want something so much, don't sit there. Do something.

5) I Don't Know How to Love Him from Jesus Christ Superstar
Wooh... I heard this a long time ago when Joanna Ampil came to town in a one night concert. She has a lovely voice and I think I like her better than Lea Salonga. My friend cried when she heard her sing On my Own from Les Miserables.

6) Sun and Moon from Miss Saigon
Ok... This song is not in the dvd but I like it alot. Initially I thought the lyrics were dumb... and maybe they are dumb... "You are sunlight and I moon. Joined by the gods of fortune. Midnight and high noon. Sharing the sky"... ok... right... first impression counts. The lyrics are dumb. Haha. I heard Lea sing it with David Campbell on the producers concert dvd. And they kissed! No wonder I like Joanna Ampil better. How dare she kiss my David. Erhem...

Sighs... I love good singing... Anyway, I bought a Rob Thomas cd too. Hehe. My musical tastes are extreme.... Gee... but Lonely no more sounds great. Plus he's cute.

Pirates of the Coffeebean vs Monkey Island

I vote for Monkey Island anyday! In case you have no idea what monkey island is. Well, it's a computer game about pirates by LucasArts that absolutely rocks... or rocked... since they haven't had any new monkey island game out in ages. Ever since I was a kid, I had an affinity with pirates. U know... like I get to play Monkey Island and know about the cat and nine tails and the jolly roger. Then I was enrolled into this British Council course (and mingled with rich kids) about pirates and even wrote a manuscript stained with coffee and burnt at the edges to talk about my make-pretend life marooned on an island by pirates (It was the best manuscript ever made I tell u!). Then I wrote a play about pirates and finding treasure and TA DA! Won the first price in the class for our fine piratesy acting of the play! Aye Aye Captain! All hands on deck!

Later, I moved on to reading this book called Frenchman's Creek by Daphne Du Maurier about the handsome frenchman pirate. Wohoo.. and now Pirates of the Carribean. SEE! I have an affinity with pirates. I must have been one in my past life... Not that pirates are fine creatures... Mmm... Anyway.. the show is too long. It has it's fine moments... like... whenever Johnny Depp goes onscreen as Captain Jack Sparrow, the kooky anti-hero to Orlando Bloom's handsome and bland erm... whatever his name his. Anyway, the story goes as what is expected... except towards the end where Elizabeth, played by the Keira Knightley, started to show abit of her dark side. Yes foolish men! Pretty girls are scheming! Bwahahahaha! But anyway, Bloom's marriage to her was interrupted halfway, so he still has a chance to call it off. Haha! Gee... these young ppl shouldn't rush into marriages without knowing each other well first....

Ok... out of point liao. Getting groggy. Catch the show. It's pretty good.

The Korean Drama Obsessed Freak Mum

*was forced by mum to remove unflattering pic*

Please... my mum is degenerating into a couch potato drunk on korean drama. See.... seee!!! She's like totally glued to the tv. My gosh... If she stays like this, she will be senile by the time she's 50. Gosh.

Random Bloggings....

Aiyoh. Dear friends, please don't read too much into my blog. It's just some of my thinkings at some particular time on a particular day and they fade soon after. Frankly, they aint really meant to be discussed (and I don't like to talk about them as well) but please drop a little comment online if you have things to say, preferably nice things. Bloggings are just random musings and well... not very important. Take them with a pinch of salt please. :)

My Little Bro

Little brothers are so perplexing. They hide in their rooms, come home only in the wee hours of the morning, make us so worried, stay immature even though they are in their 20s and yet we still treat them like the apples of our eyes. Argh. Idiot Bro.

2nd Teenagerhood

It has been ages since I've been so hua chi... And to think that I have mocked girls who are kooky over Korean stars. I'm one of them now... Gee... Anyway, I asked my mum how come S'pore dun have guys who are so handsome and nice. And this is what she said, " Got what! My son lor." I was like... Huh?!... Parents are really delusional... But I think the world's sexiest boy would be happy to know that at least one "girl" in this world thinks the same as he does himself. Hoho...

Save the Last Dance for Me

Yes... I'm totally obsessed with this show. Can somebody get it out of my system? I mean... it's like a little over the top but well... they tried so hard to be together that you die die have to root for them. The girl is those sweet sweet demure kind and the guy is *swoon*. Well... you get my flow. They are made for each other!!! Hope they end up together!!!

Musical BBQ at East Coast

Hoho, went for a bbq at East Coast today with my choir mates. I must say it was a good bbq. Usually I don't like bbq. I don't like having to cook in front of smoky hot charcoal and getting my face oily and my hair stinky. But well today, we have chefs. All the guys cooked, and all the girls have to do is to sit there and get fed. Feels really great. Haha. And not only do the guys cook... they sing and cook. Which is pretty great, cos' it's like an outdoors cum live band dinner. Cool!

Anway, we played this game ... u know.. the lian zhi game... example you say a chen yu... then somemore has to use the last word to say another chen yu... ok... we wuliao... but it was fun. Anway... i suck at it... i am so bad, i think i totally massacred the chinese language. But there was one time I was really proud of myself. I had to think of a chen yu with the word "Qu4"... u know... as in GO in english. So I said, " Qu4 ni ma de"... kekekeke... ok... there goes the image of a nice sweet girl i've been trying to portray going down the drain again. I blame my colleagues for polluting me.

Ok, tmr is another day to celebrate kong's bday... then back to work. Sighs... nevermind, I will think about work on Mon morning.

Boy with the red umbrella bladed off into the sunset.... with another girl... sobs :'(

Ah well....

Should have known that knights with red umbrellas don't exist for stepsisters.
