The Week
It was an eventful week.
Not that i didn't want to blog earlier but physically, it was impossible.
Tired leh.
Monday, the photoshop creative class at BTC.
Arrived uber late from work and only played a fool with the rest of the 'classmates' in the midst of the lesson.
Bonny was never naughty in class, i cross my heart.
But a serious class after a hard day's work was no joke.
That explained why i slept through 3/4 of my uni days. Oops.
Tuesday, movie number one - I Love You, Man.
It was h.y.s.t.e.r.i.c.a.l.
Simple plot with an atypical yet real story. Complex.
But for just its humour, it's worth the $8.50.
Wil entered the theatre with zero knowledge of the film and i think he's a bit skeptical even. But he came out, thumbs-up!
Wednesday, movie number two - Duplicity.
I think Cathay made a mistake by setting its genre as "comedy" and i was conned thoroughly.
I was hoping that the love affair of the spies-turned-corporate operatives would be witty enough, even if it's not the hilarious kind.
Unfortunately, it was far from a comedy.
Not even an action-packed, perhaps...hmm..i don't know. Ahh know i see the problem of the classifier.
Bengz and i took turns to snooze (unconsciously) at the long draggy front part but thank God the pace was picked up towards the end.
Seriously for such storyline, i would expect the plot to be a bit cleverer.
Thursday, ex-colleagues day!
Met dearie Celyn for lunch and boy, i missed her so much.
The one hour lunch date was totally insufficient and we've agreed to have another session next week!
In the evening, met the CBT group and we had a terrific time reminiscing the days when we were working in the travel agency.
It's so funny to realise how the same tour guide, at the same destination, could result into two significantly different tour-leading experiences.
It was nice catching up.
Not forgetting this sweet little surprise which i received in office one morning.
Hidden under my laptop cover was this black classy box which got me really excited.
I knew it was my uber belated birthday gift which i've been chasing for the longest time. Hah.
But i really didn't know what to expect.
It was after i mentioned that i was searching for a pretty hair accessory for the upcoming weddings, and i got this.
Very pretty isn't it? =)

Happy Mummy's Day
When i realised i had only one free weekend in the month of May, i quickly recalled the things that i've put on hold for the longest time.
We have agreed and planned for dinner at my place way in advance but when the Easter production and other events came along, we just had to postpone the gathering for a while.
In view of the constant reminders from Tecky on how he missed Mummy's braised pig trotters and that Mdm Toh's delivery date is round the corner, i had to put this on my top priority.
With one week's notice, Mummy planned the menu, did the marketing and whipped up a feast for my dear friends!
Seriously, other than being uber hospitalble (somtimes even more than her daughter), i think Mummy is a great cook!
She never fail to delight my friends with her cooking. It's hard work man.
Hence only reserved for the priviledged! Hah.
Today is Mother's Day and i wanted tocook buy her a nice dinner.
But she has deserted me to go singing with her friends. K lah...as long as she's happy, i'm happy.
Before she left, my dinner was nice and hot, ready in the kitchen. Awww...
世上只有妈妈好...
I stood in the congregation today and boy...i miss worshiping so much!!!
Ever since i had to park myself at the back of the auditorium three months ago, i somehow could only make sure that, others, can have a proper worship.
Keeping a watch at the ushers, making sure that the latecomers are not blocking the projectors and they each can have a seat - are the things i've to manage, as i drift in and out of worship.
We took a moment to show our appreciation to the mothers at service today.
Presenting flowers to them and P. Tiak led the congregation to pray over for them too.
Then i made an observation.
I realised the median age of the mothers in Brighton is getting younger!
Most of them are actually my peers! Wow...
Or the problem lies with me? Oops... =p
Happened to come across the old song by my old time favourite singer 苏芮.
Touched my heart to the max.

《天冷就回来》
两个月的期待，终于等到四月三十号。 看《天冷就回来》的那天。非常之久没看舞台剧，而外兴奋。
再加上小女子是梁文福博士的崇拜者。 想当年我中学时期就听他的讲座，阅读他的散文。 他的音乐作品，我怎能错过?
很庆幸有人能将他动人又具有故事性的曲子搬上舞台，串连成一出扣人心弦，属于新加坡人的作品。
听着一首首熟悉的歌曲，感动不只在当下，而是它们留下过的脚印。
所有的点点滴滴，通过歌曲一一地重现在脑海里。鸡皮疙瘩简直掉满地。
田伟鸿 (饰阿乐) - 是吸引我的理由之一。与他插身合作过一次, 对他的才华产生了小兴趣。
这次的表现, 加深了我对他的肯定. 出生自华校的他，对中文的掌握果然不是乱盖的。 喜欢他温柔的声音。与他壮硕的身材，成了对比。
董姿彦 (饰Rose) - 将会是我接下来瞩目的演员/歌手. 声线透彻清亮, 角色演诠释得非常仔细。她的出现，简直照亮了整个舞台。去youtube搜寻她的相关影片，发现她曾在2004年参加过Singapore Idol但只入围了30大。 或许如果她当年成名了，今日的舞台剧圈子就少了一个好演员。
石欣卉 (饰小静) - 中觉得她不适合舞台剧这块。 演绎方式有点油, 唱腔也太"流行化". 和其他的演员, 也有点不搭。
吴罗宾 (饰强) - 记得他参加<<才华>>时, 是我最挺的参赛者. M3 - 吴罗宾! 哈! 过后的电影作品<<轨道>>, 我更是看了几次. (离题 > 突然有股从动就把<<轨道>>的原生带挖了出来, 才发现是1997的作品! 12年了!!! 天啊！！！) 超爱他的歌声！
《天》的制作严谨, 演员都很专业.
故事虽有点简单，但剧情的编排与制作却富有创意。
尤其是那出乎意料的同志情节, 更让我顿时停止呼吸.
精彩的舞蹈更为一些单调的情节增点了许多意外的色彩。
演出后，我无法自拔了买了它的原声带，把美好的回忆永远收藏。
期盼第三次的演出!
找到两年前首演的MV.
《天冷就回来》 If There're Seasons...

放开了拳头 反而更自由
The strange thing about blogging is that if the momentum is lost, it's difficult to get back again.
There were many times when i was overwhelmed by thoughts but all i could do was to stare blankly at the blinking cursor.
I guess my ability of translating thoughts into words has deteriorated a bit. Sigh.
Anyway.
Almost immediately after the drama production, i hopped on the ferry and arrived at the familiar Nirwana Resort at Bintan island.
I was glad that i chose to depart on late Easter Sunday when most holidaymakers would have returned.
The resort wasn't totally quiet but at least i didn't feel as if i was at East Coast or Sentosa chalet.
To see the pool crowded with Caucasians did add on to the mood of holiday. K that's me. Anyway, i've gone and i'm now back. Not totally rested but better than none.
On my way home, i started thinking...Australia or Hong Kong??? Hmmm...
There wasn't CG yesterday and for a moment, i was lost. Didn't quite know what to do with a sudden break from the routine.
Then i remembered that Jac and i have been planning for a karaoke session for the longest time.
Albeit the claustrophobic room we were placed in where we could hardly stretch our legs, i had fun with this new friend. =)
Ended the night with supper at the noisy Hong Kong Cafe, understanding each other better and realising much of our similarities and differences.
In the midst of all these, i wonder how were the rest doing?
Feeling a little down today and the reason is not obvious.
It could be the remnants of the office politics or it could be just weariness or....
I'm just hoping for this to past.

情歌 - 梁静茹
时光是琥珀 泪一滴滴被反锁
情书再不朽 也磨成沙漏
青春的上游 白云飞走苍狗与海鸥
闪过的念头 潺潺的溜走
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默
一整个宇宙 换一颗红豆
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久而渐渐温柔
放开了拳头 反而更自由
慢动作 缱绻胶卷 重播默片 定格一瞬间
我们在 告别的演唱会 说好不再见
你写给我 我的第一首歌
你和我 十指紧扣 默写前奏
可是那然后呢
还好我有 我这一首情歌
轻轻的 轻轻哼着 哭着笑着
我的 天长地久
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默
一整个宇宙 换一颗红豆
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久而渐渐温柔
放开了拳头 反而更自由
长镜头 越拉越远 越来越远 事隔好几年
我们在 怀念的演唱会 礼貌的吻别
你写给我 我的第一首歌
你和我 十指紧扣 默写前奏
可是那然后呢
还好我有 我这一首情歌
轻轻的 轻轻哼着 哭着笑着
我的 天长地久
陪我唱歌 清唱你的情歌
舍不得 短短副歌 心还热着
也该告一段落
还好我有 我下一首情歌
生命宛如 静静的 相拥的河
永远 天长地久
时光是琥珀 泪一滴滴被反锁
情书再不朽 也磨成沙漏
青春的上游 白云飞走苍狗与海鸥
闪过的念头 潺潺的溜走
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默
一整个宇宙 换一颗红豆
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久而渐渐温柔
放开了拳头 反而更自由

All about Life
With the appointment of our new CE, the Board just had its major restructuring after the last one six year ago.
In a re-org, people will bound to be affected, whether positively or otherwise.
Most of the time, otherwise conquers the bigger fraction.
As much as i believe that my department is a 'safe' one, we didn't escape the consequence of the re-org.
The conclusion is that one of us is sacrificed.
Thankfully, not a retrenchment, but a mandatory transfer to another division.
F was the unfortunate one and i almost had the same fate as her as my name was mentioned too.
When LL broke the news to me reluctantly, i was pretty worked up but i managed to press it down.
I was more frustrated and disappointed with the decisions of the management than feeling relieved that i wasn't the one being transferred.
The whole thing was pure stupidity and uncompassionate.
Well, i shan't bore you with the details. Not worth my effort too.
As i was venting my frustration to Bengz, he had to remind me not less than six times that at the minimum, i'm blessed with a paycheck every month so that my standard of living need not be compromised.
Sounds bimbotic and i wouldn't deny a bit. =p
Therefore, i made it a point to give thanks every morning and it definitely make my day a lil better.
In any case, i decided not to be bothered by my job after working hours.
Life is not just about work alright!
I guess it'll just be a bill-paying-tool, at least for now. Before i find my passion and inspiration again.

Received a surprise call from Korea on Valentine's Day!
How not to love Jer??? =)
In Korea, the culture is for girls to give gifts and guys are the recipients.
He thought he would have the priviledge too, with a Korean girlfriend and living in Korea.
Unfortunately, she overruled the idea with the justification that her boyfriend is "international".
Hahaha...try harder, Jer.
Anyway, Jer really made my day with that distant Valentine's wishes and he hopes that he can save a call next year.
MmmMmmm........SO! I was saying......
This pic was taken during Jer's homecoming this CNY and that's my new Korean friend. =)
She's such a sweet girl. I like her. =)
Uber looking forward to their wedding.

Didn't quite catch the serial when it was showing on Channel U. Not even its repeat telecast.
But the couple of times when i managed to watch, i loved it!
Besides the interesting surgeries for the purpose of beautifying oneself, 《一切完美》 portrays the deep being of human nature and behaviour.
It talks about loving ourselves, forgiveness and of course the reality of the world.
Instead of the usual fairy-tale kind of story lines, i like the fact that it slaps people with the truth and acts as a wake-up call.
I often ended up in tears at the end of each episode. Sounds dumb, i know.
I'm trying to complete part 1 online, while getting ready to welcome part 2 of the series.
Did i mention that i was completely swooned by the charm of Thomas Ong?
Gosh...he has the face that i like! *hurhur*

Monday Movie
The approach of the lunar new year holidays indeed has helped people at work loosen up a bit.
At least i'm hearing conversations out of the formal work context and it includes the making of pineapple tarts and love letters.
With the commencement of the corporate planning exercise (it's NOT the organisation doing Singapore Workout as suggested by Persi), it kept a lot of people away from their desk, including LL.
And since the UAT has to go on even when she's not around, i had my very first meeting with the vendors ALONE.
It didn't dawn much on me at that moment as the meeting was called for in an impromptu manner.
I only laughed at my behaviour after the meeting as i reflected.
Subconsciously, i realised i was actually feeling a lil intimidated by my minimal IT knowledge and afraid that i would ask dumb questions in which might turn out to be a joke.
Hence during the meeting with the IT guys, in the midst of trying my very best to understand the technical terms they were throwing around and the scenarios they were illustrating, i turned the table around and confused them a lil. Haha.
I secretly heaved a sigh of relief when they paused and pondered and concluded with a "we'll check" after i rattled a chain of comments.
I almost got choked by the smoke. =p
As you can see, i wasn't quite bothered if i've convinced them or confused them as long as i get away.
I can imagine more of such situations happening in the near future, i think i better buck up.
Caught "Rachel Getting Married" with Ivana in the evening.
It talks about a girl, Kym, who returned to her family from the rehabiliation centre, for the wedding of her sister (Rachel), bringing along with an unhealed and unresolved heart.
And...........................yah that's about it!
Well, yeah....it has a unique and atypical cinematography and insipiring theme but i thought they could work a bit more on the story development.
I was kept awake as i was eager to find out "what's next" but it never happened.
Disappointingly, the movie ended in a "that's it???!!!" note and five of the patrons didn't even sit through to see that.
I would very much prefer the factual "Australia" and 《赤壁之决战天下》.
I fell in love with the ingenious 孔明 and was reminded on the beauty of the Chinese language.
Now i really regretted for falling asleep in my higher chinese class at college.
Would a kind soul give me a quick tutorial of 《三国演义》 please?
Oh just one thing...i thought it was just a lil awkward with the existence of a taiwanese-accented character in the history of China. For goodness sake, please dub 张震's voice. =p

Classic Great Hitz Part II
I posted the videos onto Facebook and surprisingly, it was a good old great hit for some.
Hence i decided to continue explore more of 陈百强's works.
As i was reading up on him, i found this!
I almost forgot about this!
First came across this song during the madly-in-love-with-Daniel-Chan time, as well as Gigi Leung.
Both were featured in the movie 《初恋无限touch》 and Gigi sang this.
I remembered owning two of the vcds just because they have different covers and i watch not less than 25 times.
I could almost memorize the lines at each scene.
Perhaps i should bring it out to watch again. Heh.
Shall continue my CGH search!

让平静的生活泛起涟漪
Occasionally, Jer will take me by surprise when he started displaying his ah pek homesick phenomena.
He showed me this.
Not long later, i discovered this under the "related videos" column and i was THRILLED!
I couldn't remember how i was introduced to this song, not through the movie of course. It definitely left a uber deep impression in me.
Interestingly, i also learned that the scene where 许文强 was killed (at 3.35) was ever awarded the Best Gunshot Scene.
Jer said he was mesmerized by how slowly Chow Yun Fatt took to collapse after being shot.
Speechless.
Then there was another one!
I first heard this song when i was deeply in love with 陈晓东 during my youth days.
He sang it at one of his concert and i love it instantly.
I like 陈百强. If only he is still alive.
一首歌，一个人，一段回忆，让平静的生活泛起涟漪

五月天“真正的快乐”新歌飙唱会
经过一番波折, 终于来到五月天"新歌飙唱会"的场地.
兴奋. 期待.
天色慢慢的变暗, 凉风微微的吹着, 好像真是为五月天而来的.
没有壮观的开场, 没有铺张的舞台, 也没有绚丽的服装.
讲的只是心.
用心来聆听. 用心来感应. 用心来沟通.
第一次搞个露天的开放式演唱会. 不知是哪个天才想出来的.
这本来就是五月天的专署演唱会方式.
什么室内体育馆, 什么舒服的椅子, 什么凉凉的冷气.
都是多余的.
五月天属于大自然, 散发出的热量绝对是四面墙无法局限的.
我们也被这股热量给感染, 凉风再也没那么凉了.
从第一张专辑直到最新的<<後期青春的詩>>看到五月天的成长.
不过也只是音乐里的成长而已.
他们是群大孩子, 还是那么好玩, 那么的可爱.
冠佑的缺席让我感受到他们对兄弟的情义与谅解.
透过海风传给冠佑的祝福, 我深信他能听到.
冠佑...要加油!!!
不知为什么, 我是有够陶醉, 有够感动的. 不时强忍着泪水.
每行歌词, 每段旋律仿佛都深深的钻入我心坎里.
对他们的熟悉而感动, 对他们的思念而感动, 对他们影响着我人生的歌曲而感动.
唱到<<温柔>>时, 更勾起了当时的回忆...
兴奋. 期待.

范玮琪 《沒那麼愛他》
女人可以坚强。
女人可以果断。
女人可以独立。
“编织过的梦想 自己也可以抵达 谁说一定要有他”
女人可以果断。
女人可以独立。
“编织过的梦想 自己也可以抵达 谁说一定要有他”
沒那麼愛他
詞/曲:徐婕兒
你有權利情緒化 你不一定要堅強 但有些事情
不能偽裝 別為自己設了框
我懂失去的悲傷 也懂進退的掙扎 但想起過去
都是失望 又何必要放不下
是習慣還是愛 不放心 還是不甘心 只有你自己知道解答
其實你沒有那麼愛他 真的不需要那麼想他
編織過的夢想 自已也可以抵達 誰說一定要有他
其實你沒有那麼愛他 沒有深陷到不可自拔
認清了真心話 你就放得下
深呼吸 抬頭望 發現天空很寬廣
這世界那麼大 幸福總會在某個地方
其實你沒有那麼愛他 真的不需要那麼想他
擁有過的計劃 留給值得的對象 你知道 不會是他
其實你沒有那麼愛他 沒有深陷到不可自拔
認清了真心話 你就放得下

五月天 《你不是真正的快樂》
《你不是真正的快樂》
五月天
人群中哭着
你只想变成透明的颜色
你再也不会
梦或痛或心动了
你已经决定了
你已经决定了
你静静忍着
紧紧把昨天在拳心握着
而回忆越是甜
就是越伤人了
越是在手心留下
密密麻麻深深浅浅的刀割
你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是 你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了 也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂 关在永远锁上的躯壳
这世界笑了
於是你合群的一起笑了
当生存是规则
不是你的选择
於是你含着眼泪
飘飘荡荡跌跌撞撞的走着
你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯 完全的癒合
我站在你左侧 却像隔着银河
难道就真的抱着遗憾
一直到老了 然後才後悔着
你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是 你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了 也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂 关在永远锁上的躯壳
你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯 完全的癒合
我站在你左侧 却像隔着银河
难道就真的抱着遗憾
一直到老了
你值得真正的快乐
你应该脱下 你穿的保护色
为什麽失去了 还要被惩罚呢
能不能就让悲伤
全部结束在此刻
重新开始活着
完全体现了人性的脆弱
活在过去的阴影
成为过去的奴隶
释怀吧！
世界可以更美好
快乐可以是真的
选择在于你。。。

I am the Dancing Queen!!!
Monday, Persi and i spent our Bonapers on Mammia Mia!
Since Hairspray, i've grown a fondness for musicals.
I like the exaggerated facial expressions and the expression of emotions through music and lyrics.
Most people know that i love to sing but the desire of acting and dancing has always been a secret. Oops...now you know! =p
Albeit the slim chance, I hope to be able to persuade Ken to do a musical for the next D&D.
I shall beef up the publicity for Music in Motion and hopefully canlure attract more people.
Anyway, the movie. I was enjoying so much that i wasn't quite bothered about the rest of the audiences and sang along with Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried.
Hmmm...Pierce Brosnan was unarguably suave but his singing was...err...put it this way...i thought he was talking. =p
I fell in love with ABBA songs instantly and i regretted for being ignorant to them for the longest time.
My favourite was Dancing Queen and i love the scene when all the women were dancing on the deck.
I couldn't control my shoulders from bopping along with the groove. Ooooo..oooo...oooo...
Persi and i left the cinema, still not getting enough of the songs and dreamt to having a wedding like the one in the movie. It's gonna be so fun! If only the guests are as fun too.
But first, we need to get a man, each. Hah.
The air in office has been pretty still lately.
LL wasn't at her best of mood and somehow, it got us a lil tensed.
On an usual day, she would be rather bubbly and her hobby at work was to engage us in small talks. Not the case since last week though.
She must be stressed with the papers for the meetings and we hope we could offload her a bit. Not as simple as we thought.
Just before i left office yesterday, she managed to talk a bit on her experience at the F1 race which i thought it was a breakthrough for the week.
Hopefully she'll loosen up a bit more for the later half of the week.
It's not the best of news when your boss is moody you know. =p
Made a trip down to Replugged after work yesterday.
It was three years ago when i frequented this shop house at Bugis Village almost every week.
Not a bit has changed. Just that the back room was transformed into a training room.
Bengz wanted to pick up an instrument and i proposed the keyboard initially.
But later we realised a problem (which i shan't divulge for the interest of the involved party) and he had to make a switch.
As we explored, we thought flute might be suitable and it got him so excited after hearing the demo online. He wished he could sign up almost immediately.
Therefore we headed down to Replugged hoping that he could try on the instrument otherwise sign up for a class.
However, things didn't quite work out and we left the school in disapointment. Oh well, at least we knew the place where he could purchase a flute in the mean time. If you are keen, visit Eason Enterprise.
We ended up at PP (again) and dinner was at Mini Steamboat (again).
Not long after we settled at Mcdee for the night, the monsoonstorm rain came and almost got the both of us drenched as we insisted on staying put at the outdoor seats.
It was so cold that my lips trembled as i spoke.
The weather is turning cold i guess. Yay!
When we got comfortable with the weather, a weird indian ah-pek had to choose the seat next to us to rest himself.
He was behaving very strangely and had a huge travel bag with him which got me suspicious of its content. Smiling to himself and throwing occasional stares at us too.
We were constantly keeping a lookout as we talked, in case he barge.
Later then we realised that he was waiting to hit on the leftover food on the tables after the patrons left. And so, he ended up hopping from table to table.
Quite a tragic sight though.
When we got used to the the indian ah-pek, a chinese ah-pek, who was sitting in front of us, started to scatch his head so vigorously that i could almost see tiny stuff flying out. Ewwwwww...I felt itchy all over too.
And our eyes turned to this man again.
What an eventful and multi-tasking night.
With the previous night that ended at 3am, i could only regain consciousness at noon today.
I was a little shocked when i woke up. Didn't expect to have slept for so long. Scary.
And for the rest of the day, i did almost nothing.
The most constructive thing i've done was to revamp my blog.
Nice??? I love it! So sweet hor.
Other than that, if you consider the 1-hour nap constructive? Heh.
Work tomorrow. Good night.

曹格 Welcome to my World
我从来都没想过我会那么爱曹格。
之前是带着平常心来的，毫无任何兴奋的感觉。
打从两年前的校园演唱会，就知道他很能唱，所以就以为纯粹来听唱而已。
直到他开场的几首歌，我还是保持着一样的态度。
怎知，出乎意料，当昨晚的一切结束后，我希望能嫁给他！
有史以来让我情绪起伏最大的一场演出。
一开场的Superwoman，台风有点僵硬，实力显然的有所保留，现场观众也热不起来。
坦白说，有点后悔及失望。
接下来的“劲歌热舞”环节，真让我怀疑我当初（买票）的决定。
跳舞。。。真的不是Gary的那杯茶。
终于开口说话了。
很自然的开口就溜英语，我喜欢！
他说他很紧张。我相信他。
他要我们鼓励他。我大大声地为他欢呼。
咦。。。好像有点效。
不久后，我不知觉的陶醉在此。
看着他跟“黑皮公主”和特别来宾 - 卓文宣的互动，跟让我为之疯狂。
不经迷上这个叛逆浪漫情人。
彻底败在“男人不坏，女人不爱”的理念里。
毫无顾忌的为当特别来宾，易杰齐，当和音，凸显出他对朋友的义气。
或许习惯了环境，习惯了观众，习惯了自己，他开始说教了起来。
无理头到！！！ 我shut-off了好几次。
不过他这种冲突的性格，更让我感到好奇。
自小就重洋的Gary，作风自然大胆。
因群众要求，在Encore时，脱掉了上衣，现场顿时失控。
看到他背后的G-A-R-Y纹身，让我更加激动。
到最后，他也唱开了。
不多在乎技巧，用最原来的声音，也是我的最爱。
Sharon说他有个“咸湿”的脸。 会meh？
没办法，我对音乐才子，又是喝过洋墨水的那种特别的溺爱。呵呵。。。
糟了。。。有点背叛阿信的愧疚感。=p
号外号外！！！ 观众群里，意外的发现扬综伟的踪影！

Academic Misery - Day 16 [ISORG] + Gong Gong
I hate to talk about the ISORG paper today.
I thought it's crap. I meant ME.
Only two words to describe - 假强, commonly known as gei kiang.
Guess i was too complacent and probably too hong sim [can't think of a more appropriate word].
And now, sigh...
I is so STUPID! =(
In any case, i shan't dwell in my stupidity for too long.
One more paper to go and i'll be a freebird beth!
Later in the evening, i met up with Persi to watch Made of Honour.
It left both of us pondering on the existence of platonic friendships.
We held differing views. She doubted and i thought it's possible.
I was like her previously but in recent years, i kinda treasure buddy-buddy relationships, which explains why sometimes, i'm more comfortable with guys.
I don't have to pretend to be as soft and gentle as the girls coz i'm not like any of them and most importantly, i just can't stand petty clashes.
Often i suspect i'm a man deep within.
Anyway, i give a 7/10 for the movie. Quite hilarious at some parts.
After the movie, we made a impromptu visit to Mustafa, with compliments from Uncle Chua!
It has been the longest time since i wanted to get a personal suitcase and was told that i could get a good variety at Mustafa.
No joke at all!
The army of suitcases were packed like sardines and it was quite an effort to go through all of them.
Finally found a suitable one and i was pretty pleased with my purchase.
Being my maiden trip to the mall, i was simply amazed by the range of products they are offering.
From apparels to electronic gadgets to fishing rods and not forgetting the interesting talking toy parrot and the irritating evilly-laughing witch. Fwah!!!
It also left Persi smiling gleefully with her good catch of the handheld blender.
I shall anticipate the day that i can taste Persi's Pumpkin Soup!
______________________________________________________________________
After service on Sunday, i received a text message from BB.
"Gong Gong was warded into the hospital ten days ago and is currently in critical condition."
For a moment, i didn't know how to respond.
I tried asking for some details but obviously BB was completely clueless.
Later in the afternoon when i was napping, Mummy woke me up and told me to call Aunty Elaine right away.
She was crying when the line got through.
"Gong gong cannot make it already. Can you go to the hospital to see him perhaps for the last time?"
I got the details and hung up and was left in a daze.
To be frank, i really didn't feel much.
The last time i saw Gong Gong was more than 10 years ago.
I was just uneasy that the fact that i have to face the relatives again.
Not that we have sour relationships but it's just...awkward.
If you know what i mean.
I got to NUH close to midnight and fortunately, the nurses on duty allowed me into the ICU ward.
Aunty Elaine introduced me as the "long lost grandchild" to the nurse and i thought it sounded strange.
He was still unconscious but i thought he could sense that i was there.
He had tubes and ventilators all over him and he looked petite.
Aunty Elaine said when he was semi-conscious earlier, he had specifically requested to see me so that was why she contacted me.
I was taken aback by this remark coz i didn't think he would remember me.
Something was stirring up deep within and the memories started coming back.
The times when i used to visit him at Pontian, Malaysia when i was a kid.
That was the Gong Gong whom used to carry me and now he was bedridden right before my eyes.
Aunty Elaine told me later that he was robbed in JB 4 weeks ago and was pushed into the drain and injured his leg with an open wound.
In a morning 3 weeks later, the neighbours didn't see him in his bike one morning [he was that strong and healthy] and sensed something amissed.
They got into his house [he's staying alone] and found him unconscious.
They sent him to the hospital and contacted Aunty Elaine whom tranferred him out to seek treatment in Singapore immediately.
The reports of the tests done on him were all negative of any major findings and he was pretty well and chatty during the week's stay.
However on the night of last Saturday, he went into a coma all of a sudden and some organs started to fail.
The doctor informed us to be mentally prepared for the worst.
Aunty Elaine said that Gong Gong has got a strong willpower and he was fighting hard.
I could see/sense that too when i saw him.
I didn't think he would go.
We prayed with Aunty Elaine [a Christian] and Cousin Grace [her daughter] before we left the hospital.
I tried studying when i got home at about 2ish after midnight but i just couldn't concentrate.
Emotionally very drained.
I couldn't sleep that night.
Praying hard and crying out to God for help.
I really didn't want Gong Gong to die.
Next morning, BB texted me.
BB: "Ey you all prayed for Gong Gong last night huh?"
Bonny: "We didn't pray in his ward but outside. Why?"
BB: "Coz he woke up after y'all left. =)"
Thank God! It was a huge relief.
Later i heard from Aunty Elaine that he will be transferred to a normal ward the next day if everything goes well.
Was that a miracle or what? I don't know.
But i'm sure God made it happen. =)

五月天《回到地球表面》
我喜欢那熟悉的感觉，就好像见老朋友似的。
我喜欢演唱会一开始大家就不约而同的随着音乐嘣起来！
我喜欢演唱会一开始大家就不约而同的随着音乐嘣起来！
我喜欢那色彩斑斓的大屏幕，让简单的舞台不单调。
我喜欢怪兽和石头弹吉他耍帅的模样。
我喜欢那股对音乐浇不息的热忱，不时强烈的感染着我。
我喜欢大家秉持着的团队精神，手舞足蹈的比着L.O.V.E.的手势。
我喜欢阿信的背影，那么厚实，那么亲切。
我喜欢他肉肉的脸蛋和那深邃的眼神，曾经那样注视着我，没有骗你！
我喜欢冠佑的呆滞，永远搞不清状况的样子。
我喜欢粗狂的怪兽，浪子般的魅力。
我喜欢能拉近我们距离的天降舞台，赞！
我喜欢献给玛莎的《垃圾车》版《生日快乐》歌，这是专属五月天的创意。

我喜欢五月天回到地球表面。
