I'm third~ yeah~

Thanks to all who came to support~

Thanks to Doug for the supply of beer~

Thanks sis for the supply of clothes~

Yippee~

I'm in the finals~ It's tomorrow night~ hehe

And I'm finally singing the song that's been playing on my blog for ages~

I'm going to just enjoy myself and see how its goes.

There's only 3 gals out of a total 12 in the finals~ I just wish to be the best among the gals~

Got to go practice liao~

My semis is on sat~ yippee~ no need to take leave liao~

I suddenly remembered why I was so happy with my performance last week. I set a goal for myself and I achieved it~ Thats why~

I told myself (and WC too~) that if I am able to have everyone's eyes fixed on me instead of the tv while I'm performing, then it would be a great and successful performance. And I did it~ Well... not sure how true lah but at least the MC said so~

Anyway, no one has told me exactly what are my strengths in singing. The most common comment that I get from judges are '你唱歌让人觉得很舒服' and thats about it.

But I want to hear more leh~ don't always say the same thing la~ Say something to help me improve??

Finally, some excitement in my life. Joined a competition, went through audtions and quarters. Now going into semis.

But the dumb dumb semis will be on 29th & 30th May~ afternoon 2pm~ Siao boh?
29th is friday leh~ 2pm?? then got to take leave? wah piang~ cannot believe this.

Pray hard I kena saturday one~

And the worst thing is, the FINALS will be on 2nd June TUESDAY LOR~ haha..
If I really get into finals, got to take leave again~ SIAO BOH??

Anyway, see how first lah.. get into finals then decide.

Anyway, now it comes down to songs selection. I've got to submit songs for both semis and finals.

Do I want to do well and sing something that I've sang duno how many hundred times?

Or do I want to just enjoy and sing something that I've just mastered and wanna perform only?

Decisions... and I hate making them...

Been really lazy to blog or maybe its because there's nothing to blog also lah.

The wedding was a blast~ Cant help but be super impressed at myself for planning the entire thing and my timings were spot on! Thanks to all who attended and definitely to those who helped. Really appreciate you all.

The inspiration to blog today came from some events happening in the office. Lots of office politics, no.. shud be department politics. New head come, old head go. New staff outcasted by old staff. Yup, I'm one of the newbie but i'm glad there are more and more newbies like me coming into the picture.

But recently alot of turnovers in the department. The Head is 'banging into the wall' because of all these people. Hope everything turns out fine.

In the mean time, I'm just going to do my part of the job and leave the politics behind me~

Less than 4 days to go~ OMG~

I still havent collected my mass booklets~
My seating arrangements are not done yet~
And the final figure is~ 61 TABLES~ FAINTZ

On another issue, guess what I saw on the weather forecast???
Everyday SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM~ Wah piang~ Dont leh~

Ti Gong, I don't need super super good weather~ I just dont want the rain to come okie?? Scatter the rain to the west lah! THANKS AH!

Please po pi po pi me hor!

Everyone, please pray for me~

Rain rain go away, come again after friday~ Let the 'hor sin' rest one day~

Hello?? Am i the only one getting married??

I sourced and ordered the bedframe.
I went down myself to talk to the wedding card printer.
I went down myself to collect the wedding cards.
I bought the stamps.
I wrote all the invitation cards for your friendS.
I sent them all out.
I alone meet up with my own friends to pass them the invitation cards.
I had to ask your sister to contact your little niece and nephews to be my page boy and flower girls.
I had to go ask around to find flower baskets and ring pillows.
I had to ask your sister to contact your auntie for the church deco.
I went online to find the template of the mass booklet.
I went to meet your cousin myself to ask for her advise on the mass booklets.
I typed the mass booklet myself.
I went down to the printer and check the price. You said too ex.
I went down to Bras basah to check prices. Then you say printer cheaper.
I called the printer to get all the details.
I amended the template to the correct size and mail it back to the printer.
I presume I will going down to collect the booklets myself too.

I only want a simple rehearsal at the church. That's all. Is it so difficult?
You keep saying its very standard.
BUT I HAVE NEVER ATTENDED A CHURCH WEDDING IN MY WHOLE LIFE??
WHAT IS STANDARD?????

So what if you paid for everything?? SO WHAT??

Date : 28th Jan 2008 (43 days to go)

Called the invitation card printers at Excelsior this afternoon and asked for Connie. She is highly recommended in the singaporebrides.com forum for her excellent service. She told me that she was the only one working that day so she asked me to go down earlier. But the lazy me decided to laze around till later afternoon. By the time I reached, it was already 5pm. To my surprise, there was already 2 more customers there~ 1 was being served and the other one waiting for her turn. So I decided to walk around and went back in 15mins later. By the time i got back, there was another couple waiting at the door~ Don't understand why everyone have to go at the same time~

So after serving the 2 customers before me, this couple thought i was there later and cut my queue~ So i was like... okay lah, anyway i'm not rushing for time~ Connie kept apologising.. poor woman haha

So finally my turn came, I decided to choose the simplest form of printing. There were fanciful cards with ribbons, but the thought of having to tie them myself made me drop the design. Then it was between printing on the card directly or printing on another piece of paper then sticking it onto the card. The difference in cost was only $10~ And by paying the extra $10, i do not have to paste 350 pieces of paper on the 350 cards~
Of cos, I chose to pay lah~ Dont have time for this kind of arts and crafts.

So I paid the deposit and got the receipt~ OMG, the numbers were exactly the same 4 numbers as matt's grandma's new 'address' - 6287 ! Though my number was in random order - 6782 but i wouldnt have gotten it if that couple didnt cut my queue~!!

And i didnt realise this until i was chatting with my mom 2 days later~ which was friday! So I immediately smsed matt to buy 4D. and guess what~

WE STRIKE 4D YESTERDAY~ FIRST PRIZE HOR~

Thank you ah ma for your big big angpow~

Date : 21st Jan 2009 (50 days to go)
Went down to the hotel to pay deposit and got all the details i need to prepare. Eg, choice of food, food tasting date, invitation cards printing company.

Next most important thing is the invitation cards. I need to get them printed by 21st Feb coz my mum will be going into Malaysia to pass the invitation cards to my relatives there. So I have less than a month to get everything printed! ARGH~ HELP~

I've confirmed my sisters entourage and I'm happy~ There will be 8 sisters and brothers if nothing goes wrong~

I'm still working on my guest list. Its more or less done on my side. Just having some headaches with my ex-colleagues list~ Hope I can work it out soonz~

Date : 19th Jan 2009 (52days to the wedding)
Today, me and matt went down to Orchard hotel to discuss our wedding package with the planner. Its lucky that their ballroom are available when Grand Copthorne's was not.

Orchard Hotel was our first choice actually but their ballrooms were not available on 26th dec.

So when I first knew that my wedding date has been changed, I called Grand Copthorne but their ballroom was not available. The next hotel in my mind was Orchard Hotel and I'm so glad that theirs were available.

I also like this wedding planner than that of Grand copthorne. She is much more friendly and easier to talk to. Anyway, we will need to go back down on wednesday to sign the contract and pay the deposit.

My package with Grand Copthorne Waterfront is available for transfer. So if you have a friend who's looking for wedding packages.. please feel free to contact me. The package is for 26th Dec 2009.

Though I didn't get my bowl of shark's fin soup, I still had fun performing the song. I do hope the couple liked it.

As the uncle says, its a dark dark performance...

Karen actually suggested that I keep a journal of current adventure...
Planning a wedding in 56 days...

So instead of starting a new blog, I would just incorporate this in my blog becoz I can foresee myself blogging alot about my wedding... so i might as well~

Date : 18th Jan 2009 (53 days to wedding)
My sis and mom accompanied me to the bridal studio to choose my gown today. I wasn't as excited as I expected myself to be but it was definitely fun changing in and out of the gowns. There were a few designs that I liked but it came down to 2 that I prefer. They are not the traditional satin with embroidery style that are so common nowadays. I really like one of it, it was simple and elegant... almost princessy but the gown didnt really compliment me much as the bottom makes me look abit rounder. My sis and mom prefer the other one but it was abit loose on the top and therefore I wasnt able to see the full potential of the gown. Guess I will choose again during my second fitting.

As for the evening gown, it was a really quick choice. I knew in my head the colour that I want and so I just need to try on gowns of that specific colour. I'm sure I will like it more after they amend it to my size.

Second fitting will be on 2/2/09 and our wedding shots will be taken on 5/2/09.

Its confirmed. 13th March 2009 will be the big day~

I have 56 days to plan a wedding!

GOD BLESS ME~

We went to the geomancer and ask him if we could still carry on with our wedding as planned.

He threw us a super big bomb. We only had 2 options.

1) Get married 2 years later which is year 2011 or,

2) Get married within 100 days! He gave us 2 dates.
13/3/2009(fri) or 24/2/2009(tues).

There goes my perfect wedding date.. sobz~

After checking with hotels and bridal shop, it is possible to get everything ready in 2 months and wed on 13/3/09.

I do feel that 2 months is super tied to get everything ready. Imagine having to choose my gowns, take the wedding photos, get the album done, give out invitations, inform the church, collect my wedding cert and everything in 2 months? Its crazy and going to be super stressful~!

His mom and sisters are all encouraging us to wed in march since we already have available hotel and bridal packages.

So now I'm faced with a huge dilemma~ Do I want to get married within 2 months or to wait 2 years?

I have no idea~ Don't ask me yet~

How would you feel having a stranger sing at your wedding?

Thanks to the uncle, I'm going to be the stranger~

A whole new experience for me... scary!

PS: I want my bowl of shark's fin soup.

Matt's grandma passed away on 3rd January. She was admitted to hospital on christmas day due to some infection on her back. As she had diabetes, these kinda infections are not small issues.

While she was in the hospital, she was looking very healthy and almost ready to be discharged. On the morning of 3rd Jan, matt's aunt visited her and even fed her lunch. And at 3plus, we received a call from the hospital, telling us to all go down to the hospital course grandma wasnt feeling too good.

So all of us rushed down and realised that his grandma's heartbeat had already stopped. Apparently, she passed on in her sleep. And the next five days, we were busy with her wake and funeral.

It was her wish for matt and me to go through a church wedding, but sadly she can't be physically there to attend it now. Of cos, we still go through a church wedding to fulfill her wish.

She's had a good life and I'm sure she is somewhere in heaven watching over the Lim family.

MERRY XMAS EVERYONE!

Feel the festive mood~

But the weather is dampening the mood a little~ sianzz

We are the champions~~~! haha

AQUEOUS GEM~ I'm so proud of them~
They won!
And they definitely deserve it after all the hardwork they have put in.

I also put in effort by being the Number 1 FAN and the leader of the FAN club haha~ We had a little fan club going on.

We made everyone wear either black or red. My sis paid for the materials for the banners while I made them with some help from the rest of the gals. Nicole and Jacq bought all the stuff that made a hell lot of noise during the dinner.

We definitely enjoyed cheering for the STARS~ Everyone helped in blowing whistles, cheering and holding up the banners while the STARS performed.

I was kinda disappointed when they awarded the 最佳人气奖 to another contestant. We thought we were the loudest of them all! For a second, Me and Weicai looked at each other with super puzzling expressions. But then I realised, that means there's chance for them to be in the top 3. And indeed, they emerged CHAMPION!

My facebook is bombarded with loads of photos and videos of the event. I feel happy when logging into facebook nowadays haha~ It brings back memories of the same event last year.

A year has past just like tat, and I don't feel like I have made the fullest out of this year. It just went past very quietly.

I hope year 2009 will be abit more colourful~

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~

Today is the quarter-finals for BAS group category.
We only managed to practice last night. Hope its good enough to qualify for semis.

I hope I won't laugh in my partner's face while singing tonight.
I hope his voice won't crack from all the coughing.

It still feels kinda weird coz it will be the first time performing a duet in public.

I realised I sound kinda inconfident after reading what I have just typed.
Maybe its the song choice, maybe its my high notes, maybe its my harmonising,
Or maybe its just me~ the inconfidence me...

SAKI SAKI resume works~~

Found new job liao~ HAPPY~~

Its really time to find a new job. Manager is leaving and therefore I shall leave too. I do not want to waste any more of my time in the army sector. I really want to branch out to the commercial or even retail sector.

I even took the time to update up resume until "SAKI SAKI". Hope this will help me find a new job soon.

I've already sent out my applications and received a few phonecalls. Most of the agencies are looking for QS but I have told them that I prefer to go into property management instead.

I have managed to secure 2 interviews for next week. One of them is with my current client company but of a totally different department. I'm still wondering if I should go for it because I don't know if this will affect my relationship with my current boss. The current company has been okay to me but I really want to get out of the army sector so badly.

Well, I guess I will still go for the interview and see how it goes from there.

Anyone who have lobang for property management positions, please do recommend me.

Thank you so much.

The singing sessions all went rather well. Could have been better. I now realised the most important thing that I lack is stage presence. I can't seem to make passerbys be interested in my singing. I should really improve on that.

Attended Alan's wedding last thursday. We havent really been in contact ever since I left SMM which is over 3 years ago. I was abit reluctant to attend initially but in the end, I decided to treat it as a gathering. I was glad I went as I got to catch up with Cheryl, Vincent and Goh. We used to hang out very often for coffee back in PLAB. But I was kinda sad that all of us did not get to sit together.

Cheryl did ask my why I was so dressed up. hahaha~ Of coz have to mah... I purposedly went home and changed. I can't possibly show up in jeans right? If that's the case, I might as well went straight after work. Another reason is that I seldom get to wear my dresses, so I will try to grab all chances to make my money worthwhile.

So, the next time any of you guys see me in dress, don't ask my why. I'm still a gal after all mah...

haha~

The auditions went rather well especially when you see familiar faces in the judging room. I sang only 3 lines lor!!! hahaha crazy...

I'm supposed to be memorising lyrics for the upcoming event performance. 4 songs!!~~ How to remember so much lyrics!!!??? Die die must remember...

Oh, I hurt my back again. Its one stupid sneeze again. I was telling douglas about it and this is what he replied me...

Must cultivate habit to sneeze out of your mouth (abit loud la), don’t keep the pressure. Very dangerous.

And always keep your head up before sneezing. And don’t slouch. Tighten your stomach muscle abit before sneeze.

Try to maintain upright posture, never bend down your neck too much, as that will channel the burst down your spine.

A sneeze is only a 1sec thing, where got time to so much??? haha

But what he said is very true. He's a 'pioneer' of back problems and therefore I should really take his advice.

July is the month of singing and more singing... haha... I LIKE~

The auditions for BAS 08 are starting soon. Our Solo auditions are tomorrow and I hope we will not be facing much problems. As for our group auditions, it will be a week later.

Regarding LWSSOM's performance, I have confirmed the 4 songs that I'll be performing. I have never perform any of the songs before and I'm really excited about it because they are all my favourite songs!

Here's the details for my performance and do drop by if you are nearby which I doubt haha... cos its all at some ulu places...

Date : 11th July 2008
Time : 7.00pm
Venue : Gek Poh Shopping Centre (Blk 762, Jurong West St 75)

Date : 18th July 2008
Time : 6.30pm
Venue : Rivervale Plaza Blk 118 Rivervale Drive, Sengkang)

Date : 19th July 2008
Time : 7.40pm
Venue : Pasir Ris West Plaza (Blk 735, Pasir Ris St 72)

I'm supposed to perform 2 mandarin and 2 english songs for an event in July. LWS just called up to arrange for a rehearsal next friday night.

I haven't even chosen my songs!! Die liao lah~

Mandarin song should be no problem for me, but english songs... oh no, how how how?? What songs to choose?

The only english songs I sing are those of Stephanie Sun's. I can't possibly sing so many of her songs as I'm planning to sing '奔' as my fast number choice.

Hmm.. any suggestions? Not to difficult ones hor... my english not to powderful...

I'm thinking of Silent all These Years and maybe Ironic by Alanis Morissette. Are they appropriate?

Why do I always fall sick when I need my voice for singing competitions?

Am I cursed or what?? Super zhun lor, I didn't even realise it until Matt mentioned.

Mr Weicai, don't worry. I will always recover just in time.

Be A Star 2008 is here again and guess what? I'm going to be part of it again... haha

Cannot blame me lah, there isn't much excitement in my life and therefore singing competitions do add some spice to my life.

This time round, they brought back the group category. Initially, I wasn't very keen to join the competition but in the end, I decided to dragged Weicai along for the group category. I do find abit of chemistry between us and the most important thing is... Mr Weicai here does not get stage-frights and is super confident. I hope we can do well and I'm targeting the SEMIS.

Last night, we were at KTV to register and choose songs for the competition. Douglas and Gabriel are joining the group catergory too. Them and Nicole are also joining the Solo category.

Itchy-backside me couldn't resist it and decided to join the Solo category too. haha So many kakis joined, I also must join in the fun mah...

So, its $50 down the drain this time...

Well, $50 for some spice in my life, I think its very worth it.

So its back to practicing and remembering lyrics once again... Bless me!

This is super ZHUN! haha

Lets101 - Online Dating

David Cook WON!!!!! Jiez, u support little David heh??? wahahhahahaha

I'm back from HK!! Had a great time eating and shopping and gambling in Macau, Zhuhai and HK.

Gambling was cool in Macau becoz all of us won money!! haha... other than that, I cant recall much from the trip haha

Shopping was great for matt's sis and mom at Zhuhai but not me. Couldnt find anything of my liking over there... But the seafood dinner was superb!!! Thats the best seafood meal I've ever taken!!!

HK was full of good food! Of cos, Disneyland was the most memorable of all! Guess why???

Because Matt PROPOSED!!! I was so shocked! Wasn't expecting it at all! Right after the fireworks display, he proposed. And the next moment, I was crying like a baby haha

So guys, all I can say is...

WEDDING BELLS ARE RINGING SOONZ~~

Frens, start saving for my angpow oh~~~

hahahahaha ok lah... just joking~

Forgot to mention the funniest thing that happened on sat noon...

Some of us smarkys decided to go watch Broadway Beng 3 together. So everything was confirmed and Winnie was assigned to buy the tickets. She was afraid that she might forget to bring the tickets down and therefore decided to pass them to Jane.

So, we were all supposed to meet at the venue about half an hour before showtime. I met up with Huiying and Yanru first who were already having some drinks downstairs. About 10 minutes or less, Meiyin, Winnie and Jane arrived. Yanru started to make her way towards them while me and Huiying slowly walked over. Then suddenly, I realised the 4 of them were laughing super loudly and I could see a super shocked expression on Jane's face.

I vaguely heard the conversation between Jane and Yanru...

Yanru : what u all laughing about?
Jane : How come got 3 more people here??
Yanru : ??????
Jane (pointing to the 5 tickets in her hands) : I only got 5 tickets here leh!!!

bahahahahahahahaha... should have taken a video of what happpened...

So we found out that Winnie only bought 5 tickets!!!! And the best thing is, she turned over to me and told me that she thought I was not joining them for the show!!!!! FAINTZZZZ...

So in the end, we sped up to the entrance and tried to check for leftover tickets but unfortunately, they were all sold out. Well, no fate lah.. First I missed Dim Sum Dollies with them and now this. In the end, they proceeded to the show while I went over to Bugis Junction to hang out for over an hour cos we were all supposed to have dinner to celebrate Jane's birthday.

Anyway, I'm okay with it. Just treating it as if I've saved money since some of them didn't find the show worthwhile. Save money more important... hehe

Well, its not anyone's fault lah.. just some miscommunication only... I won't take this to heart. No one wanted this to happen anyway... But it was sure funny hahahaa

So many happy things to share...

1) MAN UTD is in the Champions League Finals!!! So happy! But was kinda sad that Liverpool lost to Chelsea. So its Man U and Chelsea once again and this time round, Man U better win!!! hehe

2) Ting won! Yippee! Was super happy for her and she definitely deserved it! And she sang my favourite A-mei song! Kenneth did well too! One of his best performance ever!

3) I had a superb time at Lunar last night. We were there around 8.45pm and the guys got free flow of housepour till 9.30pm. And of cos, Weicai couldn't let the free flow go to waste and started to make us play 5-10. Drink until siao! Was high even before the finals started. Crazy man! Heng the free flow was until 9.30pm only, cant imagine what would have happened if the free flow was for the whole night. Guess I would most likely be camping in there hahaha

During the finals, I was screaming for Ting and I was so happy that my screams were not wasted. After that, we went outside to chit chat and chill out for awhile. Went back in after that and then the crazy stuff started... We were all crammed in the dance floor shaking our booties away haha... Havent done that for a really long time and I definitely missed doing that...

Wonder when will this crazy drinking and dancing session be happening again?

David Cook is my new IDOL!! I hope he wins!

I'm drowning myself in this superb single!

Someone (See tag >>>>) is complaining that I'm lazy and boring...

So no choice lor, got to squeeze abit of brain juice to write something..

Anyway, I don't think that papaya over >>>>> is interested in what I'm going to blog about since he is not a fan of it.

Ok, most of you out there know that I'm a Manchester United Fan. Even my name supports me to be one haha (Some friends call me MAN for short and my surname is YUE which is pronounced as U... See I'm MAN U too!!!)

Chelsea just won the most critical match of the season. If Man Utd were to have beaten Chelsea, they would have won the title altogether.

Why the linesman have such GREAT EYESIGHT?? Really can see Carrick's unintentional handball meh? Wah Piang!! I was quite happy with a draw but the penalty changed my entire mood man! Super ANGRY!!! During the last few minutes, Man Utd had like 2 superb shots but was cleared away by Fletcher and Ashley Cole. Why they so smart?? Cannot stand somewhere else meh??? sianzz...

When will LONDON BRIDGE FALL?? come on lah... 3 years liao leh... I'll be rooting for BOLTON hahaha

Since they now have the same points, neither one can afford to make any mistakes. I really hope Man Utd can win the title!!

But still, I had a great laugh when I saw Ballack and Drogba fighting over the right to take a free kick. It was super funny! The very first time I see players of the same team quarrelling with each other.

GLORY GLORY MAN UTD ~~~~

After the 停电 incident, I'm really craving for KTV now coz I only sang like 3 songs that night lor!!!!

KTV, anyone?

The 'suay-est' thing happened to me on monday night.

Doug jio-ed me to ktv at around 6.30pm and of course, I couldn't reject the offer. So I happily changed, made my way down by cab and reached the ktv at around 7.45pm.

We were happily singing and then suddenly, the whole room 停电!!! Apparently, it already tripped twice even before I reached the place. My sis was saying that after the 2nd time, everything went back to normal for quite awhile.

The people there tried to reset it but failed. After they reset it, it will somehow trip again after a few minutes. So in the end, the waiter came in and asked us if we still wanted to continue singing or we can choose to leave and they will not charge us a cent. Since they were unable to get things to work, we had no choice but to leave.

So we lingered in the room for a short while, finishing up our drinks before leaving. While we were doing that, a few thoughts came through our minds...

Doug : OEI! I want my voucher back leh!

SIS : aiya... I want to sing 你是我心内的一首歌 leh...

Doug : Got lah. we sang halfway mah... I want to sing 察肩而过 lah...

But mine was the best!


ME : wah piang! Why didn't we order BEER?!?!?! FOC LEH!!!

hahahahahaha~~~

I had a very good chilling-out friday night.

Matt, Sis and Doug came over to my place for dinner. After dinner, all of crammed ourselves onto my bed to watch the final episode of the CH8 9pm show. I'm suspecting that my bed is going to give way sooner than expected.

After dinner, Doug and sis wanted to go out and hang out with some of his frens. So, boring me decided to tag along with them while my dearest Matt went home to rest as he had to work the next day.

Matt dropped us at Sin Ming where they had a pond of prawns for people to 'fish'. We sat down, ordered some beer, chicken wings and hang out while his friend slowly turned up one by one. After finishing bout 4 bottles of beer, one of his friend mentioned KTV and all of us jumped at the idea! haha So the whole gang of us proceed to IB for a 3hr ktv session with more beer.

After singing, doug (as usual) proposed to have supper at our favourite Mutton soup prata joint. So off we went again. We took his fren's vehicle and then we came to a T-junction where all of us were not sure to go left or right.

Fren : er... left or right huh?? I forgot already..
Sista : Er... I think we should turn left, right?
Doug : wah piang! LEFT OR RIGHT??
ME : HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

When at the prate joint, Doug was telling his frens about the joint's Mutton soup being on his Best Mutton Soup List.

Doug : I tell u ah... never bluff u. Their Mutton Soup here is very good! Its ranked 5th on my list of best mutton soup I've ever tried.
ME : ya... u've only tried like... 5 mutton soup???
REST : hahahahahaha

Hmm... I'm still missing my NIQQI SPECIAL...

I'm back from the movie...

I managed to keep my concentration for an hour, the next hour I was half watching and half day-dreaming. Definitely not my kind of movie. Would prefer to watch horror flicks but my dearest Matt doesnt enjoy them.

But I did learnt a bit deal from the movie. Those character which I mentioned earlier did appear in the movie except 吕步.

Some things that I learnt:
赵子龙 was the hero who saved 刘备's baby boy from getting killed by 曹操's army and went on to become one of the 5 heros of 属国.

The 5 heros were 关羽， 张飞，马超，黄忠， 赵云(赵子龙).

刘备's baby boy, 阿斗 grew up to be useless guy who couldn't continue his father's dream to 统一中国.

关羽's son is 关兴 who (in the movie) was always at loggerheads with 张飞's son 张苞 (reminds me of 荷包蛋.. see I told you I was day-dreaming lor).

曹樱 was 曹操’s granddaugher.

Well, I think thats all I can remember. People who are crazy about Romance of the Three Kingdoms would enjoy this movie. But sad to say, I'm not one of them. Another similar movie is in the making and Matt is talking about catching the movie when its out... Bless me...

On the way home, Matt was complaining about why he will always feel tired after watching a movie...

Matt : why do I always feel so tired after watching a movie...
Me : how I know u ah
Matt : u not tired meh?
Me : I already tired when watching it... *yawnzzz*
Matt : ...
Me : I rather watch horror movie lor...
Matt : cannot! wait I can't sleep after tat...
Me : ..............


What do u wan then?? sleep or no sleep???

I'll be catching 'three kingdoms' tonight with Matt.

Not really looking forward to it coz I'm not a '三国志' fan.

The only few people know are 刘备，诸葛亮，曹操，关羽，张飞，吕步.

Who the hell is 赵子龙??

I can foresee myself falling asleep in the theatre. I hope the seats are comfy... hehe

We were in the car, driving around aimlessly after sending his aunt back to TPY.

Then he decided that he wanted to go to CLEMENTI to buy some plants for his fish tank.

Him : go clementi k? I can show u the shop where I always buy my fish stuff from and also I wanna get some water plants for my tank.

Me : win liao lor... for ur fish, can go allllllllll the way to clementi. But for me, NIQQI special (which is also in clementi) is TOOOOOOOOOOOO FAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Sianz... lose to some fishes...

He and his world of arowanas, plecos and catfishes. Where am I???

Sometimes I wonder how many of my friends actually know about my blog and do visit it.

Drop me a line if u happened to pass by my new garden! haha

Man Utd THRASHED Liverpool!!!

I was at Lunar with Weicai watching the Hark competition/showcase. While watching the performance, I managed to catch glances of the match. I think I was more excited about the match than I was about the competition haha

The match was great! I was so excited when Liverpool was 1 man down haha... I knew Man Utd was going to kick Liverpool's butt. I would be happier if Chelsea had drawed with Arsenal instead of beating them.

Back to the hark competition, I was eliminated from the competition and therefore I get to watch them instead of competing with them on stage. It was nice to be the audience for the night especially when I could feel the tiredness and nerves from the remaining competitors.

Most of them did great, all of them improved. While watching, I suddenly had mixed feelings. I was kinda upset that I did not get another chance to prove myself on stage but on the other hand, I was rather glad to have been eliminated after watching the strong competitors on stage. I'm glad that I was eliminated quietly from the competition instead of facing it on stage.

I got a short 15min chance to the guest judge for one of the PK round. I really though Cherry have improved alot since the first week and would have been happier if she had won the PK.

Sadly, Tat Sin was eliminated in the end. He didnt do well for his PK round and therefore he was awarded rather low marks as compared to the rest. I believe it was nerves that got to him. He should have done much better but I guessed he was nervous as he was facing a very strong PK competitor and the band (YES!! them again!!) played his song slower than the original song.

After announcing that he was to leave the competition, he was asked to sing his PK song once again. But this time round, he did it very well! He was himself, relaxed and exactly the way he would have been. I was rather sad to have played a part for his elimination. Now, I can understand how judges feel when it comes to elimination.

I've changed my blogskin once again! haha.. And i'm loving it!

I'm ready to pop out of my little bubble.

I just need a little push and maybe some alcohol will speed up the process even more...

hehe~

I'm BACK!!!

I am very affected by some sudden unforeseen incident. I know its beyond my control but still it was a big blow to take. I've been too optimistic about it. I know its some external factors that resulted in this but I still cannot accept the fact that this is happening.

WHY ME?
Why did my best song turn out to be such a disaster?
Why did I have to be so affected by the band who played my song much slower than the original song?
Why didn't I try harder to to make it known to the drummer while singing?
Why did I have to get the lowest marks?
Why was I the one who had to go?
Why am I taking this elimination so hard?
Why can't I get another chance to prove myself better this coming week?

There so many different kind of emotions running thru my mind now. My thoughts are in a big mess...

I'm angry and really sad because...
~I blame the band
~I know I should have done something when I know the tempo wasn't right
~I did try to make eye contact with the band but he just didn't see me
~It was supposed to be my 'most confident song' but I screwed it up.
~I did not expect the elimination as we were told that there will be no elimination until much later
~I thought would be given another chance to prove myself but no, there is no more chance.
~My friends are expecting to watch my performance but I let them down.
~I know i'm much better than some of the other competitors

I'm so lost in this situation. I really have no idea why I am so affected. I am a optimistic person and therefore this should not get to me. I should be able to handle this like any other elimination. But no, its not going that way.

I've been to higher grounds and therefore this is a much harder fall to take. I'm refusing to pick myself up yet.

I really was looking forward to enjoying this event but now I'm suddenly feeling so aimless.

Please pardon me as I'll be hiding in my little bubble for awhile.

This is a montage of the Genting Finals. These are all taken from our rehearsals. U have to watch right to the end! Its really funny!! haha

I miss them all sooooooooo much!

Oh, another thing! The song playing is the one that's written by Jay and Ashley. It has all our vocals in it. I'm in the 2nd chorus... But cant really hear lah... haha




Izit Jay cute? He does this rather frequently!! haha...

The whole 'Be A Star' journey will be ending soonz. Mixed feelings again...

Feeling sad that everything will be ending in 3 more days. I enjoyed every moment of it. Its a little preview of how its like being an artiste. We had 2 roadshow performance, one which i've mentioned and the other one on 24th Nov at Hereen. The second show was much more fun and not forgetting the group song that JJ and Ashley specially tailor-made for us. We did our share of studio recording for the group song too. Its weird hearing myself on cd haha... Although everyone have just one small part of the song, its the experience that matters. We also did an individual 30 secs video clip of us introducing ourselves which will be aired during the finals right before we sing our competition song. It feels funny speaking into the camera without any response from a live person haha... Well, it took me 2 takes to get the video right.

My confidence level have been a roller coaster ride recently. At times, I feel rather confident but more of the times, I would doubt myself and wonder how i got into the finals. There are a few very strong competitors, some with strong vocals and some with strong stage presence. I lack in stage presence and also my dress sense is kinda low as compared to the rest of the girls. Stupid thoughts have been running through my head. I would imagine myself being very much under-dressed as compared to the rest. Or, I would slip and fall on the stage... crazy me...

But overall, I'm feeling rather excited about the trip up to genting, the final showdown and of coz, the crazy photo-taking sessions with the rest of them. I will try to enjoy myself as much as possible.

Here's a clip of our performance at Suntec.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvD0E75a5AQ

Yesterday's performance was fun! hehe... I think all the contestants enjoyed their individual moment on stage and of cos the crazy photo-taking sessions backstage!

It was rather tiring because I had to be at beauty world for the make-up at 10.30am! I got abit lost and only managed to reach at 11am haha... so i didnt have to wait too long for my turn. This time round, the make up was so much better than the photoshooting one. At least, we still can recognise each other after the make-up.

After make-up, the whole gang of us went to macdonalds for brunch and relaxed there abit till about 1pm. The crazy photo-taking sessions started in the coach on the way to Suntec. haha.. all of them whipped out their cameras and starting snapping away.. I wanna get a digicam too!!!

The performance started around 2pm and lasted till around 4.30pm. By then, all of us were 'battery-flat' haha... but it was a great experience for me! The first time for me singing in such a big place.

Thanks papa mama for coming.... And of cos nicole, chris and my ah bui for coming too! haha...

Oh, chris commented that, as compared to the other finalists, my looks are average, singing average, dressing average... the only thing I'm strong at is my facial expressions haha.. then he starts mimicking me...

Well, I know I won't be able to win the competition because the rest of them can sing so well! And most of the girls are so much more prettier than i am and they have a great sense of fashion.

I'm not so competitive anymore especially after listening to their performance yesterday. I'm kinda losing my confidence and thinking how I actually managed qualify for the finals in the first place. Its pure luck I guess... hehe

Anyway, I'm contented to be in the finals with the other great singers. I just love to perform and I will definitely enjoy my moment everytime I'm on stage. And thats enough already...

I look so weird in the poster... haha

Complaint about work :

STOP SHIFTING ME AROUND OR I'LL SHIFT MYSELF OUT!!!

Your Karaoke Theme Song is "YMCA"

You're the type of person who can't have fun unless everyone else is right there with you having a blast. You have an amazing knack for figuring out what people want, and you don't mind going the extra mile to make them happy. The spotlight is something you enjoy on occasion, but you prefer that not all the attention is on you. If you've gotten people to sing or dance along with you, then you're song is a success. You might also sing: "Macarena," "Hot, Hot, Hot" or "Stayin' Alive" Stay away from people who sing: "The Greatest Love of All"

What's Your Karaoke Theme Song?

This is very very very true!

Been thinking if I should go and rebond my hair now or later. Rebonding is tiring for me as I will need to sit in the saloon for at least 4-5hrs. I'm also thinking of highlighting my hair again. I like the way the highlights stand out from my super black hair.

Was surfing the net aimlessly and came across this test thingy....

Your Hair Should Be Pink

Hyper, insane, and a boatload of fun. You're a traveling party that everyone loves to follow.

What's Your Funky Inner Hair Color?

Wah piang!!! of all colours why pink?? Everyone around me knows that I hate pink.

Hmm... maybe deep down inside, I do like pink... hmm...

NO WAY! haha

Friends around are obtaining degrees while I'm still a diploma holder. Their salaries are jumping while mine is getting rather stagnant.

Yes, I did try to pursue for a degree too but the school closed down on me after I got my advance diploma.

I should be going for my degree at another school which is willing to accept us with some exemptions but the tuition fee is a headache for me.

I did try saving up for my studies a few years back but a family crisis wiped out my savings in less than 4 months.

Now, i'm a proud owner of a HDB flat but am cashless.

I've just discovered that I am unable to convert my private bank loan to a HDB loan even after 3 years. I'm stucked with a private bank loan with sky-high interest.

So,studying is impossible at this point of my life and therefore I will remain a diploma holder.

After three years of trying, I FINALLY GOT INTO THE FINALS!!!!

WOOHOO!! GENTING HERE I COME!!!!!!!

Wanna thank alot of people leh.... although this is only finals... i already feel like a winner....

Douglas : for introducing me to the thrill of competitions and all the advices that I need to improve myself...

Sis : for the support and time spent on all our ktv sessions.. giving valuable comments from an audience point of view. taking time out to accompany me for the make-up appt..

Matt : for being there and chauffering me around. buying food for us when we dun have enough time to makan.. also asking ur family down to support me!

Nicole : for accompanying me to shop for clothes.. joining ur for ktvs and also helping me last night by making me sing fast songs to open up my vocals...

emme, gab, fab, edmund, jacq, my family and matt's family : for encouraging me and giving me the moral support i need.

Thanks everyone! I will try my best and do all of u proud!!!

Here's a look at my performance at Be A Star 2007 Quarters. My sis had to hold her phone up throughout the whole thing... thanz!

Lotsa stuff to update!!!

Summary:

1) Caught a few musical and theatre stuff.

Caught Ti Tou Dao, not bad.

Caught Broadway Beng Retuns and definitely enjoyed it as much as the first one.

Caught Phantom of the Opera, love the songs but somehow regretted not watching the first run with Sarah Brightman in it.

Wanted to catch Dim Sum Dollies, went to buy tickets and found out that it was already the last day, therefore missed it again.

2) Caught some concerts too!

Went to Ukelele's and totally fell in love with Lim Zhi Xuan's voice. He sings so much better than CD! Didnt like the venue though, never will I catch a concert at Expo ever cos the sitting arrangement sucks and the sound system wasnt as good too.

Caught the best concert ever and that was Jacky Cheung's!!! He sang so many classics and it was 3 half hours long! I cant imagine a better performance from him! He really is god-like.

3) Caught a few movies.

Fantastic four wasn't as fantastic but the Silver Surfer was kinda cool though.

Harry Potter & The Order of Pheonix was not as good as I expected cos I've read the book and therefore expected to see more. But overall, the movie was well filmed.

Transformer was such a big hit and I can't believe that I missed it. gotta wait for dvd.

4) Met up with POH! Yeah, she was back for a month but we only got to meet up twice. But it was nice to catch up and it also reminded me of the fun I have over at her place. Wanna save up and make another trip over again...

5) Met up with smarkys on a few occasions. Enjoyed those gossip sessions and catching up with each other makes me realise how much we have changed since school times. We used to be more carefree, hanging out at kovan after tuition classes, celebrating out birthdays at macdonalds, going sentosa so very often, all our chalets and sentosa huts stays. Nowadays, we have to worry about our family, finance, work, relationships. Well, that's life I guess. Its nice to be able to open up to friends about all these and also hearing it from them. Its comforting to know that they are willing to listen and give each other the encouragement we all need.

6) Qualified for the semis for Be A Star Singing Competition held by partyworld. Its my first time getting into the semis and I was sooooooo happy! And the thing is, matt's family came down to support me and i meant the whole family except his dad and one of his bro-in-law. There were 9 of them! Of cos, doug and sis came too! Doug's bro came too, with a fren of his. Ed and Jacq too! I had so many supporters! When i was called on stage, they were shouting for me! haha.. so paisey and happy at the same time. When I went up on stage, i realised my supporters took up 3 rows of the audience! haha... I did well and I thought this was my best performance ever. Probably because there were so many supporters and they boosted my confidence to the highest level. Come to think of it, the judge might have feared being beaten up by my supporters and therefore had to let me through... hahaha

This summary somehow remind me of how much i have been spending... going bankrupt soonz... :(

300 was great without the part were I had to go fetch matt's inhaler from his lorry right in the middle of the movie.

Just as we entered the cinema, matt commented about the place being stuffy. And soon he started having difficulty in breathing. I volunteered to go get his inhaler cos the adverts were still on but he presumed that he would be fine in awhile. So we continued watching the movie.

About fifteen minutes into the movie, he was still having difficulties and so I had to go fetch his inhaler from the lorry. And it was then that i realised how bloody big VIVO is! I had to walked right to the other end of the building and back. Guess it took me at least 15mins even when i was walking at top speed.

After i got back into the cinema, I was the one who needed the inhaler more than him! I was literally panting from the top-speed walking. Wah piang!

Well, at least i didnt miss the battles in the movie. The front part of the movie was rather crappy though. The battles were great! I kinda enjoyed the movie more than i would have expected.

Next, I'm looking forward to catching TMNT! haha.. they were my childhood heroes! haha.. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael & my favourite Michelangelo!

movies week

Caught two movies during the pass 3 days.

Watched 'Pursuit of happiness' on monday. Its a nice show and its based on the true story, so it cant really get too exciting. I enjoyed Will Smith's acting, and also his son's! His son is really cute! But the show's kinda depressing though. After exiting the cinema, Doug keep complaining that he felt very depressed. haha... overall, i kinda liked the movie.

Caught the Rain movie last nite with my parents and my sis. It was my sis and mum's idea to watch the show and so they kinda proposed it to be a family excursion and so me and my dad were both dragged along to watch the movie. Its a rather dumb movies with lame jokes. I nearly fell asleep in the cinema. And my dad was almost cursing the movie haha... tat was kinda funny though. After the movie ended, my mum was like... "ay, like tat finish liao ah". Well, i wouldn't recommend people to catch this show unless u are a really big fan of RAIN.

Will be catching 300 tomolo night with the ktv gang. I'm not really looking for it cos I dun really enjoy this kinda movie. Oh well, i hope the theatre seats are comfy over at VIVO City.
