Wednesday Greens....

Wednesdays...

Ladies' Night with free drinks and entry to pubs.

For some strange reasons, I receive weekly smses to tell me I get 3 free lychee martinis after 11pm.

I hate these smses.

#1 - it's extremely tempting because it's my fav alcoholic drink
#2 - it makes me know I can't go and chill

I mean, drinking on a mid-week night. Who's crazy enough to do that?

Getting high, drunk, tired, sleepy, hang over and going to work on Thurs. Siao.

Then I realise... man... these smses are just making me jealous because...

... only people who don't need to work, have a nightlife, bitch about each other on blogs, get into legal case because of it, selling their flesh on the internet, peeling whatever little fabric they have off their skin to flash to the whole world, scooting off overseas while the rest of their peers are slogging away...

can down all the alocohol on a mid-week night.

Now... I really sound like a jealous pig!

aWeSome!

I had the most aWeSome time this afternoon at a meeting at everynation church.

Met up with T who introduced me to her lovely team of talents.

Well, T used to act in one of our plays years back and now she's into full time ministry & has approached Brian to help him.

She was extremely encouraging and I could see her heart for God.

On the journey back to office, I reflected on the past six months.

Ever since the start, I've always been so worried about how God can actually use me to make things work...

and I've been so blind to see that everyone that came along, has been teaching and helping me so much.

Indeed, God is amazing.

I never once doubted He has reasons to everything, every person and every situation He puts us in.

It's the process of finding that out is what makes life so interesting.

aWeSome...

The Boy that Got Me

This boy totally blows me away!

Monday Blues for a VEGEtarian

With the first half of the day gone, I have already concluded that this is the most AMAZING Monday.

When I use the word 'Amazing', it isn't necessarily a positive thing.

In the late morning, I was caught in a meeting with three Peruvian ladies.

Believe me, it was a complete meeting of the chicken and ducks.

They are not well-versed in English neither was I in Spanish, 'xcept for Si, Si, Si...

Anyhow, as I closed the door behind them, I just knew it's gonna be a looonggg working relationship with them.

***
Lunch - J handed me a box of Unagi rice with abalone.

My heart plunged and I knew it's going to be another long lunch session.

She's really sweet to prepare my share everytime she makes Unagi Rice but... I'm not sure if I should trade this kindness with rejection.

I AM A semi-VEGETARIAN.

I need to learn to declare that in future and be firm about it.

I eat fish but not ALL.

Strange enough, though my nose is blocked most of the time, I'm still sensitive to the smell of meat.

Unagi stinks and Mackerel is not my type of fish. Abalone bites like rubber. Too much sushi rice is explosive to my stomach.

Urgh........... I hate myself. If only I eat like a junkyard =(

Now, with every spoon i put in my mouth, I feel it coming out in the opposing direction.

I'm feeling crabby now and I know I should not show it.

The only way out - > Blog and whine. COOL.

Mission II

With faith, I say 'aye' to Cambodia Mission trip in Oct/Nov.

With fear, I say, 'yes, no or maybe'

To me, these two SHOULD never co-exists.

Hm....

FOP 2008

Not going to Miss it this time!

Good O'l Peanuts

To all who needs a little answer in life...

God's Miracle Hands...

God works in the most wonderful and miraculous ways, so much so I have to give in to HIM.

TIME is one tool He uses with skill.

And He reveals things at the perfect TIME to knock sense into us & wake us up to reality.

HUMAN is another tool He uses to communicate with us (of course other than the bible).

While surfing around, I chanced upon this blog which I have been searching for a while but to no avail.

Just last night, for some strange reasons, the window popped open with just a few clicks...

It was timely enough to clarify some doubts i had been bearing.

***

Night Festival ended last night with the most awesome crowd yet the whole time, I was pretty much devoid of ra-ra emotions unlike at Arts Fest.

Well, as the saying goes, "with more money comes more responsibility.." duh. maybe that's why.

I gave up guessing what God wants from me and wants me to do.

But He certainly has been watching over me even after my multiple tantrums Him since Jan.

I realised, how blessed I am to be emceeing at Night Festival, to speak to a crowd of ten thousands, to work with different people... to meet people.... how he has strangely placed in situations where I have never been thankful for but were to my benefit.

Right now, I just need to get over the weekend hype and go back to being a weekday OL ;p

O.T.O.T

Neighbours with W.R. isn't too bad either!

While they prepare for Singapore Theatre Festival, their actors pass by ever so often to attend rehearsals.

Just a few days back, D. walked by and knocked on our window, Jen called out to me and I went to open the door.

Strangely, there must be a thousand and one things on my mind and when I opened, I was staring into the face of this pretty boy...

suddenly it was all the weird questions that popped into my head within that split second.

"D isn't so fair. How come he's eyes are smaller? So cute? so... "

Then the guy broke into a smile to break that momentary awkwardness.

OMG. That chinese actor who starred in First Touch on C5. Nick S.

Gosh... i closed the door calmly and then started gushing like mad...

Anyway, now D pops by ever so often and i let slip on that incident that day.

But first, must verify if he's a gay first. =.=

Anyway, I am so going to watch this. To support D on the front, but....

So now you know whom I locked my gaze with?

The Dancing Sky

For the first time in Singapore, the National Musuem brings art out into the garden!

Internationally acclaimed Italian art group, Studio Festi opens the Night Festival with the spectacular performance, The Dancing Sky.

Starting tonight, 9pm, The Dancing Sky will enthrall you with two segments of breathtaking large scale outdoor theatrical performance.

Come to the National Musuem Garden and the SMU Campus to spend your weekend night! Away from the hustle and bustle of night clubs and alcohol.

During rehearsal last night, the moon was gorgeous!

With the huge helium spheres that suspended in mid air, it was a beautiful picturesque night sky.

I thought I could hold out, working from 9.30am to 2am and go back to work again at 9.30am but I was wrong.

Overestimated my ability to work 17 hours and sleep 4 hours :(

Recharging before moonlighting again today.

Well, at least it's something I enjoy :P

Ignorance is Bliss

"With much wisdom comes much sorrow;

the more knowledge, the more grief"

~ Eccl. 1:18

These ancient words are comforting for those who live in ignorance.

As you grow older, you become less happy and gradually you become a disgruntled individual.

The lines that form on your face each has a story to tell, knowledge to share.

Now I know why adults used to tell the young me last time that they wish they are still in school, studying and enjoying life.

Maybe.

Life's so strange.

***

My friend called me up to emcee at NSM this weekend, not mentioning the event.

I found out from the papers which event I will be hosting and almost fainted.

Not exactly jumping for joy but rather confused.

I have been asking God what does He want to tell me...

I hope He answers me. Just don't give me a heart attack.

Anyway, never know what will happen so keeping my fingers cross and will tell more when I'm done with the event.

(in case it gets cancelled, touch wood)

Liberation!!!

10 July 2008
Declared graduated from NUS Arts & Social Science
Major of Theatre Studies & Communications New Media
Bachelor with Merit

Well, 2.5 years is probably enough for me.

I graduated with two majors & am contented till this stage.

Of course, WILL NOT stop at this because truth is - I really Miss studying.

5 months into the working world and i wished I can just do mission work elsewhere.

Not sure why but I'm probably fighting a battle with no destination in sight.

***

Graduation was the day to cam whore freely! Woohoo..


Theatre Studies Nerdies + Funkies Rawks!

Real thorn amongst the roses :P

Yahui aka Chen Xiao Wen & Me aka Lao Lao


Grabbing my cast for Wizard of Oz!

My gorgeous! Man, I really love the pretty face of this girl..


Another thorn but promising director-to-be!


sexy babe I shouldn't miss :)


Missing her for the longest time!!!! :)

My prized possessions :)
They look so cute even though they've aged quite so much.

Pity.. there's so many more of whom I haven't snapped pictures with.

You know who you are and I am waiting for that!

Let's cam whore with the crappy mortar board and the horrid blue gown that 'impregnates' everyone!

Pretty Dolls

Few weeks back we headed down to Suntec thinking there was a toy fair.

So Uncle Sam wanted to search for transformers for W.

Anyway, went down and saw all the cosplayers in naruto, bleach characters and we knew we went to the wrong place. =.=

Went in anyhow and we got interviewed by a Japanese magazine journalist *teehee*

Not a fan of anime/manga but I sure saw some very pretty DOMUYA dolls which I have to share with all :)

This one's look really cool and suave

This is pretty but looks too weak

Love this one! Her eyes, her sensuality...

She is one cool dude, I heard she's an FF character.
Which series, definitely not 8 because I'm unfamiliar with the rest

Nice. Now I wish I look like them.

Time Out

Almost a month since I last blogged.

Yep, usual stuff that kept me away from my comp at night.

That's probably the reason why I really wish to be a student still, at least I can be one 24/7 with no complaints.

***

Saturday was a blast and it was definitely THE moment for me to remember.

My cell had a time out at ECP and we actually did the ULTIMATE frisbee.

Fantastic! It got everyone so crazy and that was THE moment to remember.

Suddenly, there weren't any tired doctor, dentist, lawyer, engineer, students, it was a team of competitive, adrenaline pumping 'youths' fighting for THAT frisbee.

If only the camera could capture THE moment.

I got home with a sore 'tailbone', aching thighs from the speed cycling too.

Gosh, I realised I haven't slept so well after so such a long time =)

***

Just had dinner with PF. 2 days before his enlistment and my commencement.

It's really nice to just chat up with him over a sumptuous buffet spread.

Though the buffet was really overwhelming and definite no-no for me next time, I wondered when will be the next time I see him again.

I won't be able to send him 'off' because that would mean I might possibly miss attending my graduation.

Sad.

But then again, we probably would end up crying like we did at macau airport.

Silly.

We grew up fighting ever so often yet doing all the silly things together like squeezing under the same blanket, set up a 'book stall' with the little books I have on my bed, tricked each other.

Oh.. those days... how innocent.

***

Work's getting ever so challenging and I am still trusting God in many areas.

Yet He's so strange.

Through work, He revealed a different me altogether.

A mediator. A patient comforter. A listener. A dissipator.

All I never thought I am or could be.

Now with all the tension going on between the other two at work, I'm stuck in between.

A position I never wished to be in.

Oh well... He's strange.
