Spring Day

Watching this super sad korean drama every night... Y i bought this? Well... it's starring this guy me and zhi absolutely adored in Ba Li Dao De Gu Shi... It's actually a pretty dumb show... but the one bright spark made me pore through the entire plot was because of this actor Jeong Jae-min... Boy can he act...

Anyway the show I'm watching now is called Chun Ri... Yup... spring day (Speaking about Spring... CJ is going there...mmm)... except that it's not a happy idiotically impossible happy love story that I have watched before... It's more layered... and the characters are multi-dimensional and impossibly sad.

It's about this guy (Hao) who found himself in love with this girl who's actually his brother's girlfriend. And this all happened after his big brother got himself into an accident and was lying in a coma in the hospital right after he managed to find his mother whom he was estranged from since he was 10 because his parents divorced and his father married his mistress. And then... this is the interesting part... big bro woke up.... but lost all memory of himself after 13 years old... meaning he kinda went back to the past and became a small kid again... except that he's a 32 year old adult. Sounds all complicated... but the story is really very beautiful. Hao was forced to revisit his past because of his brother's illness... and come to terms with his relationship with his brother and father.... while gazing longingly at the girl who he can't have... very pretty.. and sad... ah well... this is what stories should be made of.... Life isn't always a bed of roses...

Jia You Go Go!!!

No more feeling down and tearing at the slightest things. Must be positive and work hard on my job and stop thinking crazy things. Jia You Go Go YH! Cannot be sad! Must be like the hopelessly cheerful girl in the Korean Drama!

I'm full of foolish songs and out my songs must pour....

I am super tired. Been singing the entire day and the day before in fact. And I must blog this today because this is a very interesting day in my life and in case I go senile and lose my memory tmr.

Day started at 10.45am. Met fellow choir mates at Tanjong Pagar mrt station. Walked to Ocean Butterfly recording studio (where a choir mate is a music producer there!!! So exciting!), and the choir practised in one of the dance studios there! WOW! Imagine! I was in the same room as where JJ was once before he got famous :)!!! Anyway, I have tons of pictures which I took with my inadequate phone camera and I will upload them on Monday when I can infra-red to my laptop. The excitement was high! We were going to compete later in the day at 4.30pm.

Since we were still early, we went down to the pacific coffee... Yes... ocean butterfly studio is located at the cool fire engine red building in shenton way. And it's a refuge from the madding working crowd. If you enter the bright blood red building, you will see gorgeous graffiti splashed all over the walls. Beautiful. I think this is what art is all about. (I suddenly remembered the graffiti we carved into our old NYJC benches... I think that was a work of art as well. Too bad the school decided to throw those all out... Sighs... the vandalism of countless batches of students gone just like that...) Anyway, we ate our late breakfast snuggled in warm cozy armchairs and talked about rubbish, which is how a great day should be spent. Then, at 11.45am, we went up to the studio and started to do some warm up exercises for our beloved vocal chords to get them well oiled and functional. Then we did a run through of our songs. Had a few hiccups here and there which had to be rectified. Our conductor looked abit worried and reminded us to follow him (meaning his actions) and the cheeky guys suddenly burst into " I will follow you, follow you wherever you may go...!!!" Hahahaha! The fun thing about choirs is that everybody is passionate about singing to the point of obsession... something which I was never able to link with anybody else in the past because nobody else I know like to sing. It's cool!

Finally lunch, which me and some girls decided to skip and we went around exploring and taking pictures of hai1 die2. JJ!!! Why didn't he appear?!! Sobs!

After that, final rehearsal and then... tada! Costume and makeup time. Walked into one of the rooms where the guys were changing and really caught a guy in the act of putting on clothes. He mocked scream and I went out.... -_-'''.... This is the first time I saw a whole row of women putting on makeup infront of the dance studio's huge mirror... Talk about vanity... Gee...

Competition.... everything was a blur... tried to remember to smile. Tried to be as alert as I could. Conductor looked like a dancing monkey. Haha :). But it was great. Once backstage, everybody were all high. We did an MPYC WHOOSH and thought that we did okay. So well... let's wait for the results tonight and see how we do. Cool....

Another wuliao conversation with the toopid bro...

Both of us were watching Hai1 De1 Er2 Zi3 in our living room...

Bro: I saw her (meaning the actress in the show, you know, the one from Malaysia) yesterday.
Me: Woooo... is she pretty?
Bro: No.
Me: Woooo... I'm prettier.
Bro: No.

After a pause...

Bro: Li Nanxing is the prettiest.

Me: ....

"I'm Hot" *roll eyes*

Came home from another musical (a much nicer one by kids), saw my idiot bro preparing to go out wearing a long sleeved black tshirt and black bermudas... and I said "You look hot."... which is a matter of fact comment that it's too hot a thing to wear on such a humid night. And he said,

"Yes, I'm HOT!"....

Yeah... and pigs fly...

OnE CraZy DaY

Woke up at 5.30am. Went to Work. Searched for Korean song sheet music during teleconference. Concussed at 8.30am. Big Issue came in at 11am. Headache and starting to worry a little at 11.30am. Tried to debug at 12.30pm but made little progress. Debugged and debugged and debugged but luckily there's help from team members :). Managed to know that it's not pca issue at 5.30pm. Dead Tired. But with a strange feeling of euphoria. Maybe cos' I don't have to go back to work tmr. Got a free ride from ah beng to Hougang Mall. Met my dear old NUS friends. All 4 of them, exactly the same as if we are back in our U days again. And our conversation topics seem to revolve around the same things too. Hehehe. Korean dramas and hunks... Hehehehe. Especially Tantan... EXACTLY the same but with manicured fingers :). I'm glad I'm getting more into the hang of Korean dramas and chinese music.. I feel that I can connect better with them all now... since last time I was the kang tan....

Tmr will be a bz day too... Gee... How can I keep all these up?... I need a week long escapade....

Cabaret Suxs... (Stupid Sian Suxs Bloody Hell)

Can anybody tell me what all the big hoo haa about Cabaret is all about. Gee... 2 times... it's the 2nd time I've been hoodwinked into watching a musical that sucks... ok... maybe not hoodwinked... but... the tixs dun come cheap and I would expect high returns from forking out my hard earned dough on these. Next time, I'll think twice about going to a local production that's untried and untested (unless Adrian Pang is in it), and will go for those that have raving reviews worldwide. This can't go on... please drop all those gimmicky, controversial, confusing ideas when choosing stories for musicals.... Please... the word musical spells good old healthy fun. No nudity, unnecessary sex scenes, or reference to erhem parts for goodness sake especially when it doesn't lead the story anywhere. Gee... I love musicals... but now... i'm kinda sick of them. But I like Emma Yong.... she was the one bright star in the show.... but she was bogged down by a script that's even weaker than Basic Instincts II....

Please bring the good old charm back into musicals...
