Singapore Arts Fest'08 is here..!!!

Just visited its official website....
http://www.singaporeartsfest.com/main.asp

and goodness me.......

i need the $$...

So, guess for my birthday presents, just shower me with $$$$..hahaa..then i can watch many many dance and threatre performances..!! =p =p
hhaa..just joking...!

but wow..ever since I've watched the dance performance "Aware", i simply love to watch more dance performance of such genre.

And hmm..the price is relatively reasonable... =p

hahhaa...goodness me goodness me..!!

Not only the Great Singapore Sale awaits me, Singapore Art Festival is seducing me...!!!

Hmm..if i were to recommend a threatre performance, I would love to recommend this play "Rhinoceros" to all of you.

http://www.singaporeartsfest.com/event_new.asp?t=3&pid=16&xaxis=-301&yaxis=0

Synopsis:
What would you do if you realize that slowly, one by one, day by day, your neighbours, your colleagues, your loved ones and everyone around you start turning into rhinoceroses? And everyone now works for Rhinoceroses!

A seemingly normal town starts to fall apart at the seams as rhinoceroses start appearing and run amok everywhere. Friendships, families and even colleagues are all torn asunder by the sudden appearance of the rhinoceroses.

Filled with characters as strange and fun as the Logician and the Old Gentleman with a skewed love affair thrown in for good measure. Rhinoceros by Romanian playwright Eugene Ionesco is an absurdist play written in 1959 about the illogical realities of modern communal life. This intriguing play was written as a response to the totalitarian regimes of Nazism, Fascism and Communism, providing and incisive commentary on group behaviour, peer pressure and the price we pay to belong: the power of membership.

Serious in its questioning but hilarious in its approach, Rhinoceros will be Zizi Azah's contribution to Full Frontal posing the age old questions of self versus society, and whether ‘to rhinoceros or not to rhinoceros!". A nominee for Best Original Script at the 2007 Life! Theatre Awards, writer-director Zizi Azah makes her Festival debut on the Full Frontal platform for emerging directors, with dramaturgical support from two seasoned theatre practitioners Robin Loon and Kok Heng Leun.

read these in a korean comic book.

By coincidence, or God's mini arrangement, I've come across a korean comic book which has been translated into chinese.

anyway shall share with u all in the future, when my tcm exams are over.

=p

One paper tmr..arg..!! i'm so nervous..!! very scared about how the paper will be like..
and my chinese is still not good...scare that i will not be translate the paragraphs well... (T_T)

alright, wish me all the best..!!!

My mum has a new identity.

I suspect she's a werewolf.

She will transform herself into a werewolf when the moon is full (when my dad is not around). And the 3 fluffy rabbits will have to seek refuge in their respective burrows. As for now, these 3 rabbits will gather at a common base occassionally to discuss strategies, in order to minimise the risk of injury.

It's a warzone right now, and these 3 bunnies are united.

And they call themselves the "Band of Bunnies".

They will come out of the base and start to dance around when the coast is clear.

But what really excites the oldest bunny is when she can really sing the song "Freedom".

So never hear bunnies sing? and u wanna catch the bunnies singing live?
Catch them live at Changi Airport's Departure Hall..!

When?
Hmm..still in the process of negotiation.

Alright, shall not blog too often these few days. This bunny needs to stay low for a period of time.

Feeling a lot better.

This time, I'm really on my way. =)

And I'm glad. Really I am for this time.

Haa..and I had a chat with LA to share with him my newly-realised (not new-found) happiness. =p
It's nice talking to him. Cos each time when i talk to him, i feel myself growing up to be wiser and more mature? and more realistic? hahhahaa...

*******************************************************

For some reasons, i tink my intuition is right again.

A heavy downpour in the evening just now. And seriously, something intuitive striked me for a short moment.

Maybe you all will tink i'm nuts. but hmm..i just feel God's telling me something again. Giving another valuable lesson to me, in His subtle way.

As mentioned to all of you before, I'm not in a good mood. So went for a drink last night with a trusted friend and another friend of his. Made a new friend last night..hhaa..n was prett surprised to learn that she is from NTU's school of art, design and media. haa..

anyway went to ice cold beer bar to drink paulaner. realising that the beer didn't have the effect of making me drunk and forget my problem, got my trusted friend to bring me to Lunar Bar in Clarke Quay.

To drink Chivas..!! =p

the bar has live band and the vocalists sing very well..and the first few songs which they sang kinda made my new friend cry (she's juz broken up) and i kinda teared when i saw her cry and when the vocalist sang a few ballads with the depressing lyrics.

Din cry though. But drank cups of Chivas until i got myself very tipsy. But haha..this time round, no souvenir for my friend. hahaa.. =p

Think this time round, i drank a lot more than the previous time when i was in ice cold beer bar. Could not have a good sleep. Could still feel myself in drunkern state while sleeping. And got my skin to develop even more rashes.

At least i feel better after drinking. At least I dun feel the pain which seems to embed within me these few days.
Dun wanna state my tis problem over here. Cos it's just the same old problem which many of my friends have been trying hard to embed cruel facts in me.
Just that, this time round, tis problem has new and recent spices added to it.

AnYway...here are the photos..!

In the Lunar Bar...





The things which have been brought from HK..!! =D

hmmm..should i say an eventful day today?

or insightful day?

I dun know myself. Probably all of you could judge that for me.

hmm..oki, good news first.

My dad's back from HK today..!!! YEAH..!!

I was so excited in the arrival hall that i just shouted "daddy" across that arrival gate..and of course, was waving frantically at him when i first caught sight of him.. whahhaa..

it's been 2 weeks since i last saw my dad..!!

yeah...was very excited of what he had brought and bought from HK. hhaha..and he's bought packets of Gong Zai noodles and DVD of McDull the Pig...!! haha..will show u the photos tmr..can't upload them tonight...

Was very happy when my cousin gave me mickey mouse plastic models from canada..!! =D
Initially when i heard my dad telling me that he's brought some plastic models for me, i was basically shaking my head and told my dad solemnly that i am going on 23, i'm pretty too mature for that...but when he specifically added on that it's mickey mouse, hahhaha...my eyes SPARKLED...!!! hahaha..immediately, with no hesitation, i accepted it with glee...hahhaha..

i'm a mickey mouse fan. =p

********************************************************

Hmmm..ok, bad news?

hmm..received news from a friend.

hmm..wouldn't wanna say much here.

********************************************************

Have the urge to drink again.

To drown myself in the wine of sorrow.

Was given an advice about some rule number one thingy.

Haiz, wat can i say?

I can't say it out. But it's really very tiring and painful to hide them within. So drink to forget sorrow is what i wanna to do.

I only know I'm the world's most naive and foolish girl.

But well, I'm still learning not to be foolish.

*******************************************************

Oki, back to good news!

Nat, my jc classmate, has a new pet..

and guess what name she's given it?

hahhaa..she's calling it "Man Tou"...!! I was like...omg...

I din know that i am only well-liked, but i'm heavily adored...

whahhaa...

*******************************************************

I din know that i've that "cancerian" face....hhaa..tat's what my friend managed to get it accurate at his first guess..!!

haa..

*******************************************************

Had another nice idea of decorating cheesecakes..can't wait to try it out after my tcm exams.. =p

伍家辉 虽然我愿意 (Another of my favourite songs)

请让我靠近你轻轻对你说
别让我每个夜为你受折磨
是多么不容易才默默放手

为了我就当作这次为了我
别让我因为你被回忆折磨
而空气凝结了我们的脸孔
我别无选择

* 就算我们之间有什么问题
依然想念着你
虽然被放弃
虽然我愿意
就算我们之间有什么难题
黑夜我还想着你
心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意
(心还想着你)

再让我靠近你轻轻对你说
当我说我要你从此好好过
是真的否则我怎么肯放手

为了我就当作这次为了我
赐给我你现在幸福的笑容
别让恨冻结了我们的脸孔
请你做选择

Repeat *

心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意

Repeat *

Been another busy day.

Ah.

Once again,
think I'm at another crossroad.

haha...kinda miss drinking. =p The thought of the first time when i got drunk was really hilarious.

I need to wait after my tcm exams.

LOL..

Watched "Two weeks' notice" juz now. Love Hugh Grant. =)

ARG. So many things to do. Still have not arranged dinner session with HB for thanking him in helping the 4 of us with our fyp projects. ARG.

Kelly Clarkson's "Because of you" (love this song)

Because of you

I learn to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt.

Meetup with a trusted friend for a drink. haha..

Wasn't in a good mood since monday cos of the negative thoughts which have been harbouring in me. so hahaha..have tat sensation of wanting to get drunk (but not totally drunk) and jio-ed a very trusted friend to drink with me.

So this is the first round - Hot sakae.


Next, the rest of the rounds took place in Somerset's Ice Cold Beer Bar.

2nd round - a 'tin' of Stella Aritos beer.

3rd round - as shown in the 2 pictures below, the "Flamming Lambogini". Super nice...

4th round - a shot of a drink which is also flamming as well. I can't remember its name. =p

5th round - which is my final round. A few sips of "Palandori" (can't remember its spelling).

And what's next?

A souvenir which i gave my friend - for free..!! =p

But felt very embarrassed.. hhahaa...but ok la, a trusted friend whom i'm very comfortable with. So it's ok to see me in such an awful state. =p

Anyway was glad that i regained the soberness quite fast cos i needed to show a glamourous me to my mum, otherwise she'll get very worried and paranoid. =p And haha..at least i was sober enough to talk about work with my attachment company's colleague and sms-ed to a few people.

Hhaa..will jio my trusted friend again, next time round. and probably my ntu clinque in the future.

But getting drunk can be a headache... =p

Went for graduation chalet in sentosa on monday n tuesday. And i was surprised to see LA there for the bbq. Din manage to talk much though.
First time stayed overnight in a chalet. haha..

On our way to sentosa via the monorail

In Sentosa

Visited Ronn's blog just now, and came across a quiz which he had done.

Very interesting quiz and so I tried.

And haa...the result speaks 99% truth of me.

You all could try it too! http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Received a sms from Sars.

Find it pretty meaningful, so wanna share with all of you..

"It's not the presence of a friend that brings meaning to life. It's the way that a friend touches your heart that gives life a beautiful meaning."

Thought-evoking. A lot of thoughts and memories. Haiz.

*****************************************************

been watching 《妙手仁心III》...learnt a lot...

*****************************************************

Gathering with ZJ they all in bugis. it's been 3 months since we've met..!! Was glad to meet them again..!! =)

Went to Jack's Place.

And this was what i had.

Grilled Cod Fish Fillet.

Love the fish..it's tender..!! yum..! it's glorious food. =)

And this was what Sin and HM had.

Hmm..can't remember the dish name.. =p

And more photos of my dish. =) =)



Went Esplanade and had a drink with them.
This was what HM, Sin and Jac had.


And this was what ZJ had - Martini.

And this was what I had - Mertol 2007.

Been a long time since I had wine. Personally i prefer wines to cocktails, partly cos I like the subtle taste of wine - 耐人寻味.

And haha..as usual, rashes.

And as usual, I dun care.

=p

Oki, gonna sleep...very sleepy now...

Was pretty happy when i attended today's 医古文 lecture. =D

I was among the selected ones whom my lecturer complimented me and my assignment (the one which i've shown all of you previously). hahaaa...

And from what I've heard from my classmates (I was absent when she was giving the compliments), the compliments were like "woww......"..hahha...i was totally flattered...hahahahaha...when i heard from my classmates, my only response was like "WOWW.....hahaha..." heard that the lecturer compared me to an ancient famous tcm doctor (i really doubted for a moment whether it was true.)

Nevertheless, i was utterly happily flattered. LOL.

Definitely her compliments make me even more motivated to continue the course. hahah...and of course, i still have to continue to work hard. 所谓一山比一山高.

And i need to do better for this semester's examinations. Given all these compliments, they can be a pressure. hahahaa.. =p

**************************************************

Had a glimpse of the manga "Monster" in Arts Central just now.

I love its drawing style, its manipulation of lighting, atmosphere and positions of the characters. Loving it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_(manga)

**************************************************

Arg. Gonna write an essay just to convince the company to consider me to attend the second interview.

Wish me luck, again.

hahaha.. =p

Went to the campus Sakae Sushi after the presentation. KH treated all of us - HM, QL and me. haha.. =p


And this is my good friend, HM.

***************************************************

Thought over some issues the whole night.

And I have made a few decisions today.

Finally done with FYP presentation.

The presentation's relatively okay. Was pleased with myself that I was not nervous at all, given that I did not do any rehearsal at all, besides the one on Sat.

Think I might have found my style of preparing for my presentations. Hopefully there'll be more chances for me to try out in the future.

Haa..and I'm impressed with HM's presentation performance..! She did not display any obvious stage fright at all and she was presenting with that kind of confidence which I hardly see..!! Was very happy for her..!! =D

but i dislike the "Question and Answer" session. The russian prof asked super lots of questions and i found him being biased in his posing of questions to HM and I. =(

And I caught him dozing off during my presentation and had kinda hinted to him not to doze off during my presentation though i can understand it's technical and tends to be boring.
:p

But thank goodness..my fyp prof saved HM and me from the russian prof's never-ending questions.

*************************************************************

Saw my 2 eye-candies - "water membrane tech" lecturer and the "econ and finance" lecturer.

(^^) (^^) (^^)

Furthermore, the "water membrance tech" lecturer approached me for help.

(^^) (^^) (^^)

hhaa..realise that all my eye-candies are professors in their 30s.

whahahaa...omg...

but for these 2 profs, i simply like the way they smile..and think cos they are my type la...
muhaahahahhahhahaha...!!

Ok, right now, I am feeling so 花花痴... LOL..

It's a nice way to have my school life ended in this way though. (^^)

**************************************************************

Was very tired and ended up dozing off during my TCM lesson.

And TCM medical diagnosis module is getting harder..!! arg...so many different signs and symptoms etc...
omg.

**************************************************************

Gonna be busy again.

I totally have no complete rest. very tired.

right now, i'm still contemplating whether i should take up my ex-student, CX, tuition offer. To teach her younger sis.

Right now, i'm thinking that i need to leave red cross's detachment 9. Cos I completely have no time for voluntary work now.

Right now, there are too many important things in my agenda.

Doing my presentation slides now..haha..yup, still doing.

basically made changes here n there... =p

=p

=p

can't wait for tmr's presentation, man...!!

hahaa...was listening to these few new music...which i've uploaded here in the music player..
and

EUREKA..!!

got an instant inspiration on how to make a nice impact (i think it'll be nice) on the introduction of the presentation.

No video. No music. No skit as well.

Just a subtle help from my project mate, aka my good fren HM. Had quite a time convincing her to help me. =p

whahaha..

Excited excited excited...!!! =D

********************************************************

Was visiting GL's blog juz now, and i came across this piece of instrumental music "Copa Cabana" by Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. Love the percussion..!

The track's in the imeem music player. so u all can go listen. =D

*******************************************************

Oki, wish HM and me luck..! Presentation tmr..!!

Decided to change the music of this blog. Dun know what's wrong with the imeem music player..can't play the full version of The Beatles's "Please Mr Postman".

So haha..decided to change to this instrumental piece.. "Minor Swing" by Roby Lakatos..if i did not remember wrongly, this piece can be heard over this movie "Chocolat'.Love this piece of music..the way how the string instruments are played and manipulated..tink there're violin, cello and probably acoustic guitar? (correct me if i'm wrong)..generally i find it playful, novel and delightful. Whether it can induce me to enjoy chocolate, guess that'll be another issue. Cos I'm a natural chocolate lover.

Anyway hope u all enjoy listening..!

A short biography about Roby Lakatos:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roby_Lakatos

********************************************************

So many movies i wanna watch...

"Chocolat", "Love Me If You Dare" etc etc...

Currently, i'm watching 《妙手仁心 III》...nice nice nice......!!!! At least i dun have to be engaged in those super complicating romantic relationships.
I can't stand long-winded, draggy romantic storyline. Put me to sleep, and definitely a high degree of frustration and criticism.
Tat's why i can never stand watching local chinese serial dramas.

********************************************************

slacking right now..n HM is coming to my place later..!! haha..for fyp presentation...

hmm..the moderator's the russian prof...Arg...still remember that he refused to accept my biotech assignment.. =(
but
i'm not scared of him.

humpf.

Been another hectic day for me.

Interview at my IA (Industrial Attachment) company in the morning. And there i saw 3 of my course mates coming for the same interview. And definitely i was very nervous. I want to attribute this anxiety to the "grad-blues". =p

Anyway hmm..it does feel great to go back to the company. The security guard at the building still remembers me. The clerk at the HR department's counter still remembers me and I had a short chat with her to find out a little bit more about the interview. Hmm..guess the offfice girl in the department which i was attached to still remembers me? hahahaha.. I am glad that i am still remembered. =p

Talked to a new attachment student who is also from NTU and same course while waiting for my colleagues for lunch.

Back to the interview. The interview was short and that kinda worried me. Saw the director of the department which i was attached to and he was in the interview panel. Glad to see him and haha..did feel better and reassured when he recognised and smiled at me. hmm..basically the whole interview was kinda filled with laughter? Right now, i only remember there were more laughters than serious talk. Though the director seemed to be giving me a reassuring and satisfactory smile after the interview. oh, and he told me that i have looked more mature now(whahaha..i'm so happy..).

Still, the interview was making me feeling worried. And almost all my colleagues seemed to be giving me that kind of confirmation that I will be back to the department. ARG...

=s

Can't get to see one of my colleagues today..he has a very cute and handsome baby son..!!!! I miss his baby son...and i simply love looking at photos of his son...i just can't help going ga-ga over his baby son la...he's super duper cute and i love his pair of eyes...so so so beautiful.....hahaha...simply adore his son.. =p

****************************************************

Then later in the day, met up with DT (not refering to dennis, fyi) for a short gathering. Think it's been a super duper long time since i met him, feels funny to me...ahhahahahhaa..

****************************************************

FYP presentation rehearsal later in the morning. ARG. Going to present without any script or preparation. I dun care so much at this moment.

Wish me luck, man....Been a long time since I stepped up to give such last minute presentation.

****************************************************

Next week's another busy one for me. Love keeping myself busy with all the gatherings and other stuff. At least i feel my life's been very fulfilling.

And yup, I'm trying to stay happy. I know many of my friends wanna me to be truly letting it go and they, especially KH, have been psycho-ing me for the one whole semester, using both hard and soft ways. Thanks, guys.. =)

I will try my best to keep the rainy days away.
