haha, i was just thinking aobut my church choir retreat to malacca, and one of the funniest things had happened. we were having dinner in an open-air restaurant famous for it's signature chilli crab (and I, crab connoisseur extrodinaire, was not disappointed) and we were talking and laughing when this stray dog ventured near our table, and afew of us squealed in alarm, and afew of the boys tensed up, and nicholas, this brave, brave boy of 14, said-

"wah lao, you all so scared for what? it's just a dog what!"

he gets up, follows the dog, tries to pet it and sings "hello, doggie!"

BOWWOWOWOWOW RAAAAWRGH

nicholas pauses for a split second, jumps about a foot in the air, screams until the malaccan straits start to vibrate in response (imagine the response of you droping a cockroach on your little sister's lap. yes, that's it) and sprints towards the table we were sitting at. a half hour later our chilli crab had come and i was still in tears. and i STILL giggle at the memoory.

have i blogged about this before?

haha, if i have, sorry, dilligent readers. it was just a happy memory.

alright, here's something i want EVERYBODY who read this to do (and BE HONEST)-

5 simple things that make me happy:
- funny memories that make me smile to myself and look like a right idiot on the bus
- good friends :)
- naughty toddlers
- dinner with relatives
- plucking out my leg hair.

prelims and O levels are coming, and although this is abit old-songish, i think remembering simple things that make us happy in life mkaes things a teenzy bit easier.

agreed?

adios, muchachos. my next blog entry will come wednesday night, after social studies.

DUM DUM DUM....

hello once again, adoring public!

i haven't been blogging for a while, but i probably would'nt have started this soon if not for the DEVASTATION that NOBODY HAS BEEN TAGGING MY BOARD! such heartache.


oh yes, ANYWAY, a bit of EXCITING news, I GOT AN AUDITION FOR THE DRAMA ELECTIVE PROGRAMME IN ACJC AHHHH, HOW DELIGHTFUL! the two audition pieces are pretty intriguing- one's from anne frank (i find it highly amusing that i am about to play the part of a starving jewish girl, whilst in real life i am an over-fed gentile.) and the other's from a very complicated french soap "Cyrano de Bergerac" where i am a stunningly attractive girl (snort) who has fallen for AND won-over a stunningly handsome man (snort snort) of whom i THINK writes brilliant poetry, but it is actually from a man with a big nose who loves me madly, but pretends to be big handsome man so he can openly express his love through him. see? told you it was complicated.


i wonder what i'll say if the ask for my dance background. "oh yes, i did ballet when i was young... although the evidence is lacking, i assure you it is true... i still have the stockings... that have since been eaten by moths... but i assure you, i have done ballet before. oh yes, and in primary 6 i did a bit of line dancing. does that help?"


goshdarnit. talk about a moment to throw away the pudding ang dig out the carrots.

anybody got the number of madonna's personal trainer?

here you go, becca :D!

last saturday, i walked into ACS(i) with very low expectations of the school musical, caused by disappointments such as, ahem, Anne of Green Gables, the likes. The Musical in question was called 'Haven' and takes place in war-torn Singapore, in the early 1940s. The Japanese had just occupied Singapore, and the story revolves around a group of youths and their way of life in a school called 'Haven', how they learn to trust, depend and look out for one another. A heart-wrenching story, but balanced out with good-ol' Singaporean humour and girly crushes. Julian and Victor, the two (cough) 'heart-throbs' were very popular among the girls, and watching them deal with girls (Victor actually getting himself a real-life girlfriend) provided light humour, and was very well done.

The Choir, who kept appearing out of nowhere to provide back up to the songs, stole the show. I laughed until my sides SPLIT when there was this particularly tense scene between Victor and some other dude, and the background suddenly lit up, and there the choir stood. How exhillarating!


Rebecca was Aunty Lian, the chinese ah mah whose adopted son was Julian. i must say she spoke impeccable english for an ah-mah. But she was GREAT anyway! and becca, i had no idea you coud dance!

put simply, haven was SPECTACULAR! the songs were great, the acting was great, the sets were adequate, the singing was waaay above average, and it was such a good plot! Sorry to those who missed it.

in a rare flare of artistic inspiration, i wrote a song in the final minutes of the Chinese B exam, make of it what you will!


This, right here, is a simple tune
Composed while staring at the moon.
Well I must confess, that was not true,
I wrote it, thinking about you

A pathetic lie, I know I told.
But alas, my love, i'm growing old.
I need someone for me to hold
By the Fire when it gets to cold.

Dear Joseph Jeremiah,
You set my heart a fire,
The light of my desire,
Is you.

Dear Joseph Jeremy,
You're the knees of my bees,
You hold my hanky when I sneeze,
Love me, please.
