I'm in need of singing therapy~

Got to sing the blues away~

Anyone interested?

Haven't got mood for anything recently. Not even ktv.

Something is wrong with me, but I don't know what.

Feeling down, very down. But cant find the reason why.

Nothing to look forward to in my life now. Nothing~

Tired, am very tired. both physically and mentally~

I need rest~ lots of it~

Let me rest in peace. Don't ask. Thanks alot.

Just attended our first smarky's wedding dinner on sunday night at Conrad. Enjoyed chatting and suan-ing each other at the table haha~ And I sort of can imagine the same's gonna happen for my wedding dinner too.

Throughout the dinner, I was taking little notes in my brain... The whole time I was thinking... 'If it was my wedding, I would...." Crazy crazy me~

I liked the way the dishes were separated into little dishes for individuals. That would be nice if not everyone at the table knows each other. But this took time off from the servers and prevented them from refilling our drinks.

There's one thing that I am always very particular about and that is having an empty glass during the toasting. It will be super embarassing to be holding an empty glass and saying YUM SENG but not being to even sip something out of the glass.

During the dinner, I realised that the MC plays a very very important part in the wedding. Its their responsibility to create the ambience or environment of the whole event. If you have a joker as MC, that would be nice as it lightens up the solemn mood. But how much he/she can joke is the key. Funny is ok. Cheesy / crappy is not!

But if you have a MC that reads from the script and nothing more, then it becomes a really boring evening. If I really have to choose between the two... Oh man~ I cant decide~

I have done MC-ing for 2 weddings and I can't say that I belong to the joker category. I usually leave that to the guy and just go along with the flow. But that will only work well if I know the guy beforehand, where I could predict the kind of jokes he would crack.

Anyway, I've been asked to be the MC for my good friend's wedding coming early december. I hope I will be able to find a balance between funny and boring. One thing that worries me now is that I do not who I'm partnering with. Gosh~

Went to DESARU on friday morning and back on saturday night. Cant say that I had a great time but also cant say that I didnt enjoy myself. It was more like a weekend getaway with lotsa walking, lotsa seafood and lotsa babysitting~ haha



This is the view of sea from where we stayed, SEBANA COVE. Its a nice golf resort, very quiet, and nothing much to do here except swimming with the babies.



Thats the pool with the bridge separating the pool and the sea.


this is the view from our room.. theres a pond where guests can fish from... i thought it was kinda lame though...


We went to the ostrich farm.. this is a baby ostrich just hatched~


This is a male ostrich.. male ones have darker coloured feathers. And this one is apparently from africa... worth RM20,000~~~



Theres alot of ostrich there.. from babies to adult ones. There used to be one where adults could ride on but it passed away.


This ostrich here is shedding feathers... they go through this process every 9 months... looks like plucked chicken hahhaha~


These are a couple of ostrich eggs.. we could actually stand on it and they won't break! I tried and it felt like standing on rocks~




We also went to the crocodile farm that was kinda boring. Waste of time and money hahah~ but alrite for me, cos i've never been to our local crocodile farm.


We went to the beach too.. Just for like 5 mins and it started to rain~ sianzz...

Anyway, the best part of the trip was the food. Yummy~ Pictures to induce drooling hahhah





Thats all.. No souvenirs except for the mosquito bites~ haha~

Happy Birthday to ME~!!

Okay... another year older...

Its time to grow up, gal~

Some pictures I took at my workplace. Just the gardens as requested by Cheryl. She doesn't believe that we have alot of greenary over here!!!

There is 2 main buildings at my place. One is old building which has been conserved. Another one is a new building that was constructed about 7 yrs ago. These 2 pictures below is the landscaping found in from of the old building.




Below are the gardens in between the two buildings. Left and right Wing.





This is the main garden in front of the new building. I love this garden. It has a water feature with KOIs in it. Plus they have alot of cool structures and statues in all the gardens.



Taken from the rooftop.


See the greenish roof on the left. Thats the cafe with an external garden too.


Thats not all, we still have roof gardens on Level 2, 3 and 6. I havent finished taking photos. There's also a bamboo landscape beside the old building.

I'm so glad I'm not in charge of landscaping... BLESS ME~

I'm just not feeling well and that's it~

STOP NAGGING AT ME~

I've had enough already~~!!!

Guess what~~???

I finally got something that I've been eye-ing for since last year~!

TADA~

But I don't have a MMC card reader for my Micro SD. So I need one urgently~ If not, I can't load new games into it!

Super HAPPY~

Thanks to my dearest ah bui~ Love ya~

This guy is super CUTE~ And he is only 21!!!! Gosh~ I'm so in love with him!

Presenting my crush for the moment... JESSE McCARTNEY

A video of my performance taken by Weicai.
~Thanks dude~ But stop calling me AUNTIE~!!! I am younger than u hor~



That uncle is going to demand copyright fees from me again~ haha~

Yippee~ I am in the top 10!

And the most exciting thing is that I also got the special prize for 最佳舞台魅力~!!!

HAPPY~ 2 more trophies added to my pathetic collection!!

And thats a total of $200 for my hardwork, though I know that I could have done better.

The floor lah~ so damn slippery... haha

Hey all~!

26TH DECEMBER 2009

Please mark this date in your calendar, your phone or better, your brains~!

Yes, its Boxing Day and also my WEDDING DATE ~!

I'm so motivated by AQUEOUS GEM~!!

So, I've decided to challenge myself for the coming Ulu Pandan CC competition. I will be singing the song that's playing on my blog now~

Those who can't believe that I can sing and dance! I will prove all of u wrong!

I'm going to have fun with this 'challenge'~

2nd day at work.. Been abit boring becoz theres nothing much to do yet.

DAY 1
Took a cab to work becoz I have no idea which bus stop I am supposed to alight.
Reached office at 8.30am sharp.
Met up with the admin who reports to work at 8am during the fasting month.
The rest of the office slowly walks in at around 9am.

Let me introduce my new colleagues~
There's Mr Lai, my immediate superior who is the manager.
First impression : Looks kinda young, probably early 30's, doesn't look like the fierce and strict type. Should be okie

Then there's Soh, the technical engineer.
First impression : The HAIR~ er... how shud I decribe. Example those centre parting ones are 5-5. he is a 9-1.. looks super funny lor but of cos I don't dare to laugh lah.

Then theres Erica, another technical engineer.
First Impression : She reminds me of CHERYL~ Bubbly character but serious at work. Er.. plump plump cute cute.

Admin's name is Ahdar
First Impression : Sounds very nice on the phone. But speaks rather slow haha
Okie thats about all my colleagues and there a total of 6 technicians over here.

So when Mr Lai walked in, he asked me to his desk and sort of chit chat to know more about my previous work experiences. Briefed me abit on the building history and I was sent back to my desk reading the mechanical systems manual...

SUPER SIANZZ~
I nearly fell asleep on several occasions. Luckily, Soh was nice enough to walk me around the building. Then Soh drove us all out to lunch. It seems that this is the everyday routine, as there is nothing to eat nearby.

6pm sharp left. Took a ride from Soh to the bus stop. Took bus to dhoby ghaut mrt stn, then took NEL, then bus again back home. Tiring man~

DAY 2
Took bus to NEL, NEL to dhoby ghaut then bus to MFA where I have to walk up a super long slope before reaching the building. Took me slighly over an hour. This is shorter than what I expected. I was late, reached at 8.45am and as usual the rest starts walking in at 9am.

Mr Lai called for meeting among us. I was assigned to some services finally~ No more reading of manuals. I will be incharged of Pest Control, Cleaning, Lifts and Central Vacuum. Then Mr Lai walked me around the building, pointing out places where I have to prioritise. Walked one round, back to office again.

~Cheryl.. ur expertise will be much appreciated, I will be bugging u if i have any problems haha~

After lunch, Soh handed over Pest Control and CV to me. Walked me around the building again. This time showed me more of the stuff that I need to know. Its interesting to me coz I have never handed this kinda stuff before.

I'm kinda glad that I won't be incharge of building and plumbing works anymore. I'm so sick of them after so many years. Life in MFA sounds so much easier than army camps. I'm glad I got this job as I will be able to learn more things~

This is the superb performance that qualified for the finals~

Cheers to AQUEOUS GEM aka Doug and Gab~

I TOTALLY LOST MY VOICE MAN~ I bloody sound like Zheng Zhi Wei now~!
I am super cursed~ I fall sick every time I'm in competitions~ Really CURSED~
Sianz...
Don't bother jio-ing me for KTVs for now~ Unless u wanna hear someone croak~

RIBBIT~

My journey in BAS2008 has ended with me going into Revival Round and not qualifying for the finals. I was down with a super bad flu and therefore I did not perform as well as I could. Was kinda sad but anyway, I'm still going to genting~!

That's because... DOUGLAS AND GABRIEL are in the finals for the group category~!

Happy! This time round, I can go up to genting and enjoy myself rather than being so busy with rehearsals and stuff the previous time.

Here's the clip of my performance for the semis. I sang my favourite song and I think I did well. And its all thanks to Weicai for taking these clips.

I realised I have never really put up any photos of my loved ones and my friends. So I have decided to dedicate a post to them.

Heres a intro of them... in random order hor~

These are my dearest parents. Without Papa and Mummy, there will not be me and definitely not the following people.
This is the only photo I can find online. Kinda Blur but better than nothing.


This is my Dearest Matthew AKA Ah Bui AKA Ah Bee
He is my hubby-to-be~ hehe~ shy~


Next is my beloved Sis (Michelle aka mic) and bro-in-law (Douglas aka Duck)
Yes, we went to watch Xiao Jing Teng at suntec. My sis is a super huge fan of his. She is my only sibling and therefore I treasure her alot. She and my bro-in-law are both my mentors in singing competition. They will always encourage me and give me tips on improving myself. Douglas is the person who signed me up for my first singing competition. Thanks for introducing the thrills of competitions into my life.


This is my Smarkys whom I have known for more than 10 years.
Not all are present here but these are the usuals lah~
Top from left : Laoda, Win, Aunt snail & HY
Bottom from left : Tort Mum, Me and SZ bride-to-be
Absentees : XT & MIA
All of us are working and therefore we have less time for each other. We will still hang out during bdays and special occasions. Time spent with smarkys are always fun and gossipy hehe~

These are my polymates. I realised that we seldom take photos!! This is the only photo I could find online haha~

The bride is Veron with her hubby Glenn. They are expecting a baby boy in Nov! So excited for them. Now please focus to the 1st 2 gals from the right at the back row. Thats Cat(right) and Pei(left). Cat will be holding her customary wedding this Dec. And Pei is still slogging at work.
PS: the rest are veron's 'sisters' whom I don't really know haha~

Next up are Matt's good friends. We used to hang out rather often until Ah tiong went to Tng Sua.
From Left : Edward, Nic, JB, Matt & Me
I got to know Nic better while he was studying in Oz. Me, JB and him will always be msn-ing each other craps and nonsense. JB is now working in China and therefore we dun get to see him as often now.


Oh and I found a nice photo of me and JB. Decided to post it here since he is my cheonging kaki, I shall dedicate a photo to him.
Anyway, its because I think i look good in this pic haha~ Oh, He is part of our ktv gang too~


And now ~ My crazy KTV GANG which I hang out the most with.
These are the 4 aunties of the gang.

Clockwise from top left : Sis, Jacq, Me & Emme.
While the guys drink and drink and drink, we will usually be sitting at one corner gossiping away. haha~
Emme can sing really high and I really envy her cos I can never hit the high notes. Ah Jacq is working overseas and therefore we hardly get to hang out nowadays.


These are the twins of the gang. We had a hard time telling them apart when we first knew them. But now its as easy as ABC. hehe~
Left is Fab and right is Gab. Fab can sing really high too and he can sound very much like Jay if he wants to. Gab is our indian singer haha~ His singing style is super R&B and he is our designated person to get into finals this BAS2008.


Here's Nicole in the middle of this photo. She's Matt's Bro's Gf or shud i say wife-to-be haha~
She's Fann Wong lookalike and she too loves to sing and therefore she was dragged into joining competitions with us. She is in the semis for BAS2008 too~


Next up is our newest member of KTV gang.
This is my duet partner, Mr Weicai aka BBPPYCKP. Don't ask me what it means coz he will kill me if I am to reveal it. Kinda sad that we didn't qualify for semis. Really wanted to sing 'Yi Yan Shun Jian' with you. haiizzz


Ok, now to end the post, I'm going to put up a favourite photo of myself.



These are all photos I got online. If you guys are unhappy with the photos (not pretty enough or not handsome enough), you let me know and I will change it.

Lastly, I would like to really thank all of you for being part of my life.

I got into the semis for the solo category. I didn't perform to my best this time. I was kinda nervous on stage which makes me wonder why. It might be the new venue that affected me abit. But overall, I'm still glad the I qualify for the semis. At least there is still something to look forward to. My semis will be held on 2nd Sept. Got to crack my brains to choose a good song again.

Someone actually asked me if I wanted to get to the finals. I did ask myself that question too. I can't really answer that. I really liked the experience I had a Genting, though it was a really tiring process. But if I really have the chance to go Genting, I will definitely go give it my best and enjoy myself again.

Me, Doug and Gab went for another competition held at West Coast CC last sunday. Its my first time competing in a CC. There were lotsa really experienced and seasoned contestants. We were having a good time watching the performances by those veterans who sang hokkien and cantonese songs.

All of us qualifed for the finals which will be held on 20th Sept at Ulu Pandan CC. Let's hope at least one of us can get into the top 10 and win some money. haha~

I should have seen it coming. I was feeling uneasy the whole day.

黄金组合 failed.. Or should I say, I failed...

Sorry partner~

I should learn to take elimination easier...

I'm emo-ing again~

Oh and I forgot to mention... I'm a crybaby~
