Weekend bonanza.

SO HERE'S THE UPDATE OF THE WEEKENDS.

I crashed Jerry's place on Friday. Hmm, spent most of the time singing, talking about rubbish and FBing. Hahaha, played the falalala song a few times. (: Jack and Rai are influences to me now. They rock! And we had pizza and sushi for dinner. :/ Kinda sucky that we couldn't go eat at Astons but what the heck. And when supper was arriving Jerry asked me to go "nap". I fell asleep. -.-

Then Saturday, went skating with Jerry, Mark, Ee Seuu and Ynex. Jerry and I met Ee Seuu at Bedok MRT station where Jerry's parents sent us to ECP. I got nicer skates than the last time, although I still want the FR1...): Or maybe I'll go for another model. But I spent most of the day assisting and training Jerry on the skates. Felt quite mean, but he improved a lot. :D Kudos, to my aunt's reckless training methods! Hahah, she is evil. >:) Anyway, went to work after that. And work was relatively relaxing. Cocktail event so only had like 80 people and we slacked a lot. I felt closer to the people who worked on that day. Maybe it was because we had a lot of freedom to chat and people like Ravi were not there. :P

Sunday was quite similar. Haha, 170 pax. But it was more eventful cuz we had to do service while the race was on. So we sneaked peeks. One of the race crashes happened at the turning where we could see it. I saw debris fly...like imagine race parts flying? Hahah, what a joke. And after the whole event was over, we had like a mini buffet spread in the kitchen cuz of the leftover food. And the whole clean up was kinda fun. Lol... Here are some pics:

Our veiw....

Haha, I know you can't believe it but the car is turning.
Photobucket
See that blur? It is a car.

Photobucket
The crash site...kinda...wasn't focusing on it. More of the veiw.
Photobucket
Road block...so...
Photobucket
...We all wait...
Photobucket
...at 12 midnight...

Bartender wanna be director.

OH and I trimmed Cookie's nails on Sunday too. And for the first time in all of the 2 years I have owned her, she licked my hand! OMG. COOKIE LOVES ME. Hahahahahaha~~~~~~ I could cry. XD
Here she is having her pedi & mani.

Photobucket

My prize for being such a good kid!!!!

Photobucket
Seems like a normal door gift...
Photobucket
..is it just a die-cast F1 car?...
Photobucket
SWEET! A USB THUMBDRIVE!!!!! I ROCKS!!!

Anyway, nights now people. Just worked...25 reservation shift. Yum Yum buffet food. Hahaha, sushi...salmon...beef...blackforest cherry cake...brownie with marshmallow...mmm....nights. (:

Wondering why I try.

I thought people learn from what others feedback to them. Apparently, that will not happen in my life. I am just not important enough to be taken seriously. Me, myself and I should always be the most important. Why do I even try?

Just got back from work. Wanted to give ya'll a quick update. F1 looked nice.(: And work was easy. Yep. I'll update more about my weekend when have the energy to. Probably going to work till 2am tomorrow. Then Monday got to go Arts Kidz to do admin work at 10am. My life rocks.

I know a girl;
with her misty pale skin,
she shone like a pearl.
And it felt hard to come clean.

I know a spirit;
with its ever faint presence,
soft and meek.
Yet, it rarely made sense.

I loved her.
Yet it is not allowed.
I want to be with her.
But it will never be said aloud.

Hope, a funny thing.
A single breathe gives life;
yet the same can change everything.
What do I do with mine?


She takes the same knife everytime. Cutting my emotions and ignoring my pain. I thought she had learnt. I thought she understood. I am a fool. I deserve better, everyone says so. I guess, somehow I'll find the heartlessness to let go.

"It is better to know that she is happy with someone else, rather than be unhappy with you."

Ciaoz.

Speed clears my mind.

Hey all. (: Quite a number of things have happened this week. Well for starters I am back working at AQ again. My manager is amazing, just kicking us aside when reservation is down and calling us back when it is up then make demands. -.- What the hell la.

Look at my new editted uniform code for this season! (:

Photobucket
This is a 5 star restaurant in Marina Mandarin mind you.
-.- I felt like a pizza delivery boy. But it was a good night nonetheless. I managed to get through the night quite smoothly. But I broke 3 plates. Sigh...that sucks. But oh well, what is anyone going to do about it. I was down and not really ready for work.

Yesterday I met Jerry at Clarke Quay, then went to buy guitar polish. Lol...that's about it. Then met Jos and went window shopping. Headed off to ECP after that to meet my family and go cycling/skating. (: And Jos came along. Haha, while there...my brother got into a bicycle crash...): Owww. But other than that skating was fun. Haha, and I ran into Ee Seuu and Lilian. What are the odds, I mean I know they skate a lot but ECP is a big place to run into people...Hahaha. Well we had a feast of a dinner...and I queued up for 45mins just for satay bee hoon. What the hell. -.-

Pics!
Photobucket
Damn I look fat.
Photobucket
Hahaha, angry duckie.

That's all folks. I'll cya next time.

APPLIED THEATRE

Hey sup people. Today has been a slow day...super dry...super bored...and generally just being alone. It sucks. I want to work more. I need the money.

Anyway, yesterday I had a workshop with Dr. Peter O'Conner from New Zealand, he owns an applied theatre company. Nice...he is a Dr. cuz he has a PhD in Applied Theatre work. Cool right? Earn money doing fun stuff. Well, we had a lot of work and did a lot of image theatre. Learnt new stuff about Boal and theatre of the oppressed. I like that kind of work. (: Get me all revved up and focused on wanting to do more work and change.

But here was what we had during break time!!!
Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
Hahah, posing for the camera...

General lazing around...and we did more fun and lighthearted stuff after lunch. It was a day well spent. And I really feel that I have made the right choice for my educational and career path doing this. (: Drama isn't always about lights, glitz and glamour. And no one can walk away from a applied drama session without doing something about change.

And we learnt the HAKA at the end of the day. How cool is that?! Hahaha, video is on Facebook. :P

Sigh, don't feel like typing a lot today. I'm just...listless...


The mask of flirtation is a mask that is fun to wear. But to savour the true character of the mask, one must be quite heartless upon others. Maybe, I have too much of a heart. - Just a random something that I felt like writing...Total nonsense, I don't see how people really think that I am a flirt. ABSOLUTE FAIL. I don't even have decent looks for crying out loud. -.-''

Photobucket
This was taken after the classes were over. Lol...sigh, it was tiring.

Photobucket
The toys corner...kinda. Lol...

Sigh, it was quite a disaster la. I need to learn more nursery songs. (: And get the kids to sing along.

Well, have an applied drama workshop tomorrow. Should sleep soon.

I wanna do my Grade 7 Trinity Guildhall PFA exam at the end of this year. Sigh, here comes the season of hardwork!!! (: Gonna learn new stuff and apply my confidence by practise!

Sunday, September 13, 2009
lovin' someone, don't make em' love you...

THE PERFORMANCE WAS!!!!.....QUITE A SUCCESS!!!! Save for my part of it. -.-

Anyway the weekends have been okay for me. Not too good, not too bad. I'll live.

I don't feel like posting much today. A lot of emotions and thoughts running through my mind right now. Anger, Jealousy, Negativity, Happiness, Self-Indulgence, Self-Resentment....blah blah blah the list goes on.

"What happens when a person who is unworthy of attention wants to have the very attention he craves?"

I'll never be a better me. Ever.

Well, anyway I did have a blast with the DADP people at Escape for Min Yu's 21st birthday.

HAPPY 21st MINYU!!!!! (:

need for Skate!

Hey guys, went skating and had drama rehearsals today. Oh yea...and a bit of work to do. Sigh...work sucks. As usual.

One of the wheels popped off while I was skating. Resulting in injury due to fall. ):
Photobucket
Bear on skates. hahaha...
Photobucket
newbies!
Photobucket
Haha...busted wheel.
Photobucket
Note: the wheels are still spinning. I took this while skating back.

Had 3 hours of rehearsals, got my costume done...great. I'm all set for tomorrow. Nights ya'll.

(P.S. I am not good at much. Just great at disappointing others and breaking my own day. Ah well, sweet dreams.)

Psychology 101.

2 DAYS OF PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING WITH HPB!!! OMG OMG OMG...

Well it was more of a refresher + crash course on mental wellness. Full day...it is really exhausting. Haha, but at least the lunch on the first day was good. I overate I think...):

Here are the pics of today!

Photobucket
At 9.45am in the morning...lol
Photobucket
MINDMAP!!!
Photobucket




Photobucket

Breakfast!!!!....hahaa

Well, today was quite fun. We had 2 roleplaying tasks. 1 was in forum theatre style. Super funny. But it was tough portraying the right things that a friend should be doing. Because the audience would tend ot focus on the victim coping, rather then his/her friend. Ah well, we all think about different aspects of things.

Had CASS yearbook meeting too. Lol...CASS club room under FC4. XD

Photobucket

Photobucket
So this is what we do during meetings. Lol...
Photobucket
Lol...messy much? :P

Well that's it for today folks. Super tired. And I need to do my costume...buy foil...):

Gonna go skating tomorrow. (: YAYness! Cyaa

Work is going to start soon. I am looking forward to it!!!

I am actually excited about going to work now. Well, I haven't really started. But the kids seem brilliant. Oh yea, went for the Arts kidz Pre-school today for application of the job and to take a look around. The place is surprisingly serene, given its proximity to the Tiong Bahru food centre. Well, I applied for Asst. Teacher post for Speech & Drama. But apparently,I am assisting no one...but myself. Oh the stress!!!! Argh!!!! *gurge gurge* But at least most of the staff there are friendly and accepting. (: I will not disappoint! Hopefully. :P

Well, at least they are paying well. Now I need to prepare lesson materials and files for the little kiddies to bring home. Oh yea...stickers too. Hmm...overdoing it?

Anyway...I got training for the HPB project for the next 2 days. Depending on it, I may or may not blog about them. Well, so far this holiday has been kind to me. At least job wise, where I still get to do what I love to do. Speech and Drama. (:

And I am super worried about the performance on Saturday. Argh...FORUM is such a noisy place. And we got to compete with the noise to get the children to watch us!!! And I need to go practise the song now. :P Ciaoz.

till next time folks!

REMEMBER MY NAME! FAME!


I WANT TO WATCH FAME!!!!!! (Movie pick of the month...it better be good.)

Haha, what's up ya'll? the weekends were quite boring. But I manage to hang out with the cellgroup more. Hmm, I don't feel really close to them somehow. It feels like there is a barrier between me and the church culture now. But the message on Sunday sure was a good reminder of how I should live my life, no matter how "secular" I become.

I'm starting to feel more and more shallow as a person as I go through the year. Somehow I have lost the part of me that likes to spend time alone thinking about stuff that will never really make sense in the end. And I also found out that I am rather bad with people actually. I will never be Mr. Popular, simply cuz of my opinions and veiwpoints. Well, that and the fact that I need to start thinking out of the box and come up with solutions rather then find flaws in another person's solutions. I have recently been pondering on how people and culture co-relate, like how will a person impact culture and why would it be that some people hold the power to influence it, while others just can't seem to do that. And well, everything eventually becomes a rat race and the "real world" isn't really all that different from schools. Politics are there, people are there, cliques are there...why heck, even the fact that no one really would give you a second chance is there. Oh well, I'll just live a simple life and be contented.

Watched G-force today!!! Rate it 3/5...just of the cool hamster ball-car chase scene. Lol, that's about the best part of the movie. I felt kinda sad wasting $6 on it, then wasting $7.10 on my popcorn dinner. T.T Why was I such an idiot?! Hahaha, but it doesn't matter. It was the people I was with that counted. (: Oh and before that, I went to Kenneth's house to watch 300 with him and Fred. Lol....Frederick Lee Yew Wee is obssessed with Spartans and Greek culture. Like totally. I mean 300 is cool and all, but I wouldn't watch it 5 times over. It friggin' gets boring. XD To each his own, I suppose. Played Halo 2 for a bit...lol...I miss playing Halo and I wanna get an Xbox 360. Yet reason tell me to say no cuz I don't have enough time anyway.

Ah well, my mission to start working enters into initiation tomorrow!!!
Note to self: DO NOT SCREW UP INTERVIEW. And start loving kids more, for their's is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Oh gosh, I feel so angelic. -Insert twinkling eyes and wings-)

I'll seeyuh when I seeyuh people!

The words repeated over a thousand times...lose their impact.

The holidays have been rather entertaining so far. Well, for most part of it anyway. Picnic with the Comperes people rocked. (: But I felt a bit too anti-social. Sigh...less vocal about myself I guess? Hmm...need to get more comfortable in my skin. Haha, we had a picnic at the Botanical gardens. Haven't been there in a LONG while. Hung out near the Swan Lake. Lol... here are the pics:

After that it was off to JG for make up lesson. We had to redesign and ended up integrating our two original performances into 1 for EYBS...gosh I hope we can pull this one off well. I don't wanna mess up on stage with the first Performance Arts piece.

Spent today packing the house...watching Final Destination Trilogy...and going to Orchard. Had Starbucks, Burger King, Ice cream...definitely over spent. And now I need to really start scrimping and saving. (: Job Interview on TUESDAY!!! To teach little monsters speech and drama. [GOD HELP ME!] I'm sure the kids will be super adorable and cute to work with. *Fingers crossed* Well, I'm off for the night. Ciaoz.

The whiff of a freedom...not matter how short. IS SWEET.

HEY PEOPLE!!!! The deed is done! I am officially on my School Holidays!!! Yay!!!

Well, I celebrated it by watching Band Slam with Lucas, Wong Chong, Ke Li, Nick Yue and Jos. It was quite alright, I expected it to be super disney...but turned out...well, normal kinda geek flick. Haha, kinda made me want to do the whole band thing. But I probably won't have the brass section of it. And I still need to find a bassist and lead guitarist. Hahaha, oh yea and not forgetting a sound man. Sheesh, oh wells. Then I sent Jos to work. -.-'' And my day was done.

Today...how eventful. I woke up at 12nn. Had a dream about some gig then something about guitar fret being too small, loss of fret markers and anti-gravity. Hmm, anti gravity is a common thing in my dreams. But apart from that I did my CV, which is short for Curriculum Vitae, or a.k.a Resume. Took me the whole damn day. XD...Ah well...this was a short post after all!

My souvenir from Vic:
Photobucket

Right...XD

COMPERES PICNIC TOMORROW!!!! CIAOZ!
