Busy Busy Me

goodness.. im so busy right at this moment that i just decide to snap out of reality and blog a lil..




I'm so busy that Kylie Minogue's 25th November 2008 Concert reminded me that i'll be turning 21 in less than a month! ( not as excited as i was 5 months back!) \





Updates that makes me wanna just fast forward to get it OVER and done with!..WTH!


Well.. I have countless rehersals for the next two weeks to prepare for 4 performances!


St Andrew's, Xinghua and Bukit Timah Primary!


This is really interesting cuz collegues of mine would just ask me, " You are seriously gonna make this your full time job?"


And I just go speechless since Im left breathless by some of those monkeys!!





Projects..


Man...


Some people are better of as friends, i mean acquaintance and NOT groupmates.


I'll just be politically correct to just put on a shirt that says " I have enough friends already."





Examssss... Urgghhh...


I know i shouldnt be complaining cuz i only have 4 papers but all 4 are just so effin demanding CAN?





Updates that makes me wanna smile like the guy in the SunKist Advertisement!



More work means more pay to fund my Aussie getaway come this Feb! Woohoo.. Then, I'll so called have my well-deserved break!

Well, even though my job's gonna be mentally, physically and emotionally demanding, I'd be ensured a job for 4 years upon graduation. Now, that i'm entering the Working Life, The issue of recession is REAL indeed.

Look at the above ad! I was a little frustrated that the snow ski class is fully booked! *Bleah*

But amusingly, I got a call to be reminded to turn up at 8.30 this Saturday! ahah!! I hope it's fun coz it sounds fun already!! yay Yay YAY!

Silly me, i was one of the early birds who signed up with my Gym Buddy, Stelllaaaaaaaaa!! HAHAHa.

yes, i know... Little things amuse little minds!( i heard you!)

After this trial snow ski session, i'll head to the esplanade for AVENUE Q!! Yipeee.. As to spark the birthday month thingy going on, he even got VIP tickets!!!

This is getting so good that i totally forgot about the hours of rehersals and exams!

The morning Prata breakfast with Stella n Nic at Alif's at Gombak should be a weekly thing! :) I'm a sucka for the Cheap Good Food idea and the overwhelmingly Melayu feeling!

Sunday will be.. DUH... MUGGING DAY! Starbucks.. here i come!

oh Damn. gtg.

Thursday, Friday pass me by quick for me to welcome the weekends!

Women-ly Weekend

Ah.. 11 and 12 oct was a Celebrating Women Weekend for me.:)

The Saturday.

As you can tell by my squinting eyes, it was the early morning sun where Lala, my gym khaki and I hit Ngee Ann City for our Hi-Lo, KickBoxing and StretchFit exercise routine together with about 16438217381273761 Women to celebrate Women's Day out! The highlight would have been the BellyBlitz class right after all the Cardio which made me slip nicely into my Kebaya later that afternoon!

The earlier event was a Mother and child duo exercise routine which i find really cute! ( goodness, my shrinking vocabulary!)

When the winner was teased as to how did he end up in a women's event, the little boy said " Coz I love Women!" ahah.. Aint that Adorable!

Wont mind having some of these Romeo in my class when I start teaching!

12 Oct- Vaginal Monologue by Eve Ensler (R-18)

Eve Ensler’s celebrated groundbreaking play was given a local flavour by director Loretta Chen, produced by Zebra Crossing.

The monologues are basically a series of short skits telling different stories of women - of love, of sex, betrayal, relationships, empowerment, femininity. Well, he watched the original play in New York and told me all about it and I was as excited when i heard that the play was coming to Sg and given a local twist. ( Thankfully, for a newbie in the Art Scene, i was able to relate to it!)

I was moved by certain skits like that of Hair which involves an Indian woman's torment after her Brazilian Wax so as to save her marriage since her husband found hair to be unpalatable? (what a word!) Another interesting piece was Because He Liked to Look At It which is a nostalgic account of a traditional and conservative woman's sexual awakening who finds it such a taboo that each time she refers to her vagina, she would held her fingers to make a "V"sign! aha.. CLASSIC! Not to forget, The Coochie Snorcher that could, how the experience of an older woman that was shared to a young traumatized girl who was sexually abused in her early years was that able to find pleasure and love being a woman again! A female dominatrix account of giving up her job as a lawyer and find her job giving women pleasure HER Pleasure. A Malay Transsexual( definitely based on a true story!) sharing which left me dumbstruck intially but hell, i came out of the theatre much enriched and conscious.

A great finale on childbirth and tribute to Mothers defintely left an impression and will be ingrained in the audiences' mind for a long,long time.

meanwhile, as the Raya mood is slipping away.. here I am signing off.

Aidilfitri 08'

What can I say.. i feel like Raya this year just pass me by like a Formula 1/ezlink( touch and go)
I was feeling sorry for my cousin who had to bring his econs notes to all the house visiting and the younger ones who were dead tired and have to go to school the next day. The timing this year for Hari Raya, isnt student friendly at all, i must say.

For once, I wasnt even so hyped up on what to wear especially when my brother realized his baju kurung was too short only on the morning of Raya! ( which, even my mom the seamstress cant do much to help!)

I didnt panic or anything( It's a miracle I tell you!!) and went to the closet to pick out something from yearssss back... to be exact 6 years back!

Heez.. i can still fit into a kebaya which i wore when i was 15!

Hari Raya 2002 at Grandma's Place


See! i even wore it for my Sec 4 Racial Harmony Day( gosh i miss my sec 4 buddiess!)

Finally, a shot taken just yesterday, 1st October 2008. At the EXACT same spot taken in 2002!

In a kiddy candid way, this shows the element in Hari Raya that touches me alot.

Seeking Forgiveness.

This year Raya was all about forgiving.. After all the emotional drama that went in the family since my grandfather was admitted to the hospital and given his condition now, we are greatful to still be a close-knit family.

The Haji Yusof's

(sadly, 4 more members were not in the picture)

To all celebrating Hari Raya, I wish you a Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin
