amendment

dear readers (esp those from nus chi dance),

i made a mistake. "five lucky" was zm's ex.

sorry if my mistake affect you psychologically, physically or emotionally.

and most importantly, the white mazda 3 belongs to zm!!! my god. rich girl.

dance practise

we had dance practise at kevii dance studio.

so during the dance practise, i went to the toilet, and i saw this guy, dressed smartly in pants and short-sleeve shirt, waiting patiently at the stairs outside the dance studio. and then the next few times that i went to the toilet (no thanks to the bladder), he is still waiting there. so i guess that one of the dancers is his gf, but i dunno who the dancer is, but i must say that this guy has damn lots of patience.

at the end of the dance practise, 谜底终于解开了~

he is my choreographer's bf. haha. and he owns a mazda 3~

so when i was walking to the 200 bus stop with yidi, i told him:

"等一下他的车经过我们，最好载我们去 mrt station, 要不然我就刮花他的车!"

of course i said that jokingly, but true enough, a few seconds later, the car stopped beside us, and he gave us a lift to clementi mrt. woo hoo~

so we chatted in the car, and found out that he is working as an engineer, and his name is 五福. haha. can tell that he is a really super nice and gentle guy. very compatible with my choreographer, who is a nice and demure girl too.

told hw about this, and hw said should invite him to my house, then will be 五福临门. huat ah!!!

ok nvm. tomorrow is preview of the dance concert! laoshi is coming to watch! wah lao damn stressed.

before i start the post proper, i will like to announce that i finished my essay yesterday midnight! must thank dashimon and the chio colleague at my ex-workplace for giving me some points. most importantly must thank darling for giving me the motivation, cos i did the essay at her house yesterday night. haha.

ok, to start on the post proper, i have decided to join this collage competition. i have made a few collages, but dunno which one to submit, cos can only submit one entry.

not a good student

ever since my jc days, i was nv a good student.

during my uni days, i pon lectures. i hate reading textbooks. i hate writing essays. i do assignments at the last min. i study for tests last min.

right now, i dun pon lectures. actually i cant pon lectures, because if i pon, my pay will be docked. i still hate reading textbooks. i still hate writing essays. BUT, i love being a student. haha.

and right now i am doing a super difficult essay:

Explain how the growing 'marketisation' of education in singapore might affect your work as a teacher in attempting to provide more equal educational opportunities for your students? you will need to explain as well what the term 'equal educational opportunities' mean to you.

how to write you tell me? how to write?

i might as well go and die.

-------------------------------------------------------

but hor, because now still cny, shouldnt post such 不吉利 stuff, so must put something else to counter.

新年快乐！吉祥如意！龙马精神！学业进步！身体健康！写文章快乐！

ok back to my essay.

sunday post

hi readers! sorry for the long long absence. nv update blog = nothing happening in my life. haha.

this morning, i went to sentosa with darling, to see the sentosa flowers exhibition. the exhibition is held at two parts of sentosa: imbiah and palawan beach. you can just take the monorail from vivocity and alight at imbiah station and beach station. but now i tell u also no use, cos today is actually the last day of the exhibition! but well i dun think they will like within a few hours remove all the flowers, so if you go today or tomorrow the flowers may still be there? well i dunno, you can go try ur luck.

so at imbiah, these are the attractions you can look out for:

Giant Floral Wall, Golden Harvest, Land of Blue, Land of Pink, Orchid Treasures, Zodiac Plaza, Trees of Life, Land of Gold and Colours of Love.

you can guess which are the places from the photos below.

and the attractions at palawan beach:

Festive Market, Learning Journey, Schools' Gardening and Sculpture Display, Giant Turtle, Land of Green, Giant Recycled Sculpture Display, Spring Walk

we thought that it will take quite a while to see finish the whole exhibition, so we met at 10 am, but we tour finish everything in two hours. -.-'''

so since we come all the way to sentosa, might as well spend more time here, so i decided to bring darling to sit the skyride. its my second time, and her first time. :)

after the skyride, we took the monorail back to vivocity. we had our lunch at fig & olive cafe. the cafe food is still not bad, but got this manager with screw-up attitude. we were standing at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for someone to bring us to our seats, then the manager come over, then i ask him whether the student meal is available for today, cos one meal is 9.90, inclusive of a main course and a orange juice, very wu hua.

so guess wat? the manager's expression, initially smiley smiley, like machiam maths test got 100 marks, and then once i pop the question about the student meal, his face change to sian ji bua look, ma chiam i am the maths teacher that took away the ONE and the ZERO from the 100. wat's up with him man.

but nvm lah, heng the food still not bad and the waitresses' service quite good, so nv spoil my mood.

ok after lunch, we go and watch movie! we watch PUNISHER!!! wah i think is very very nice. but shouldnt have brought darling to watch it, cos is M18, not because of any particular sex scenes, and i must stress that there are NO sex scenes, but because of the violence in the movie. damn gory. the PUNISHER can just use a gun and shoot at the bad guy's face, and the bad guy's face will just blow up with all the red bloody flesh flying everywhere. hahaha. and the number of F words that they use is countless. but overall i like the movie! cant say the same for darling. haha.

the final activity of the day is dance practise at night. presenting to you the dancers:

some are missing, because one went overseas, one busy doing fyp, the other one for some other reason that i not sure of.

this dance is a 25 min item, and got 5 segments. i am involved in 3 segments, which is the 3rd, 4th and 5th segment. the title of the dance is called WOOD, and this dance together with another item, which is also 25 min, will make up the whole performance. its at ucc dance studio, on 28 feb and 1st march. time i dunno yet, but its confirm at night. but the turn-off thing is audience have to sit on the floor.

the majority of the dancers are actually from nus chi dance. then got this small group of dancers which is outsourced by the choreographer, and one of them is my sister's school mate at temasek poly. i watched her dance perf before, she watched my dance perf before, and now we are dancing in the same item. talk about small world.

ok i shall end the post here. bye~

ahem

for chio outdoor enthusiast, gorgeous grace, and all the pple spending too much time doing fyp in labs, which include my lovely darling, although it will be your turn one year later.

--------------------------------------------------

suddenly i find myself freaking busy again, with all the presentations and essays stacking up one by one. not to forget the two performances.

tomorrow going to ucc to watch kevii's hall play. i am not into english plays, and the reason i go is simply because to accompany darling. hope the show wun bore me to sleep.

but as a performer myself, i will be super pissed if the audience fell asleep during the performance. so i will try my best not to fall asleep.

yueniang is god

koped this post from chio outdoor enthusiast.

There is this Little Nonya Fan club on facebook and got this thread on Yueniang (acted by jeannette aw) being God.

Why? Because of the following stuff she did. hahaha

Yueniang is God.

She can just walk out of fire and don’t let other people see.

She can eat bird nest and revived.

She can speak English so well after only a few months. She can even understand the ang-moh slang!

She can understand business opportunities and bargaining trends etc even without a university encyclopediac guidebook on Business & Administration.

She can get thrown out of the ship into the sea with her equally God-ly mother Juxiang and still survive.

She can cook heavenly (yes HEAVEN-LY) Peranakan food that will turn every other mortal being to tears upon entry into the mouth.

She can get abused, whacked, and humiliated by people all around her and still practise “Forgive and Forget”. No other human being can do it.

She can pray to the moon and Chen Xi will wake up.

She can sing pantun beside Chor Chor then Chor Chor will wake up.

She can yell at the Japanese soldiers “I want my father’s body back” without getting shotgunned to death on the spot, and she just a little girl

She can make the Japanese soldiers not only refuse to kill her, but agree to give her back her father’s corpse. Here’s the juicy part - they even help her carry the corpses and bury it properly!!!

She can survive a kidnapping and escape just in time when the bad guy is about to take the gun and shoot her.

She can make Liu YiDao, a big grown fierce man, listen to her word for word and even cancel their marriage!

She can escape the planned rape by the workers in Huang family (under orders of Tua Ji). And she didnt even struggle when they about to try and rape her! Just sat there and cried her “miracle tears”… poor yuzhu struggle and struggle so much also cannot escape the evil robert zhang!

though she is illiterate and super young, she can travel all the way from singapore to melacca. THE NEXT IMMEDIATE SCENE SUMMORE. yes, melacca. 300KM from singapore

when she is accused of stealing the gold banglet, then she used the candle and burn her hand in front of the ancestors, then she is still ok! She is champion! Thumbs up! We salute her!

tao jie is god too! haha… so many people died! even after juxiang, yueniang, tian lan… all died… TAO JIE STILL SURVIVED! she even offered prayers to yueniang's funeral!

YUENIANG IS A GODDESS!

TAO JIE IS AN IMMORTAL!

大年初一

the clothes that i wore for today:

both tshirt and jeans bought from hong kong. and wat a coincidence that there's a bull on the tshirt. btw this is a euro 2008 spain soccer team tshirt, and i think bull is spain's national animal, because of the bull-fighting? haha i dunno, just anyhow speculating.

first place that i went to is my grandparents' place. i love going there, cos can play with my adorable cousins. haha.

both of them are siblings. both can only speak english, and cant speak mandarin. but surprisingly the older brother (wearing blue top) got band 1 for his chinese! he is in pri 2 now. both are very intelligent, but sometimes they say the darnest things. the older brother say his house cost one million dollars, but is very small, and he dun like. as for the younger brother, he dun like watching spongebob squarepants and casper the friendly ghost, instead he like to watch the dinosaurs in jurassic park, and he noe almost all the names of the different dinosaurs that appeared in the movie. seriously amazing.

next two homes i went are the relatives from my mother's side. both homes got prepare popiah, and i eat one big popiah with super generous fillings at each home.

tomorrow i will be going darling's house to 拜年! i miss darling so much, even though the last time i saw her was on sat. another thing to look forward to is the sumptous steamboat dinner prepared by her mum! yummy~

early in the morning of 大年初一

slept at 3 am yesterday, but already woke up at 720 am. cant get back to sleep, because of a bad running nose. :(

anyway i slept so late yesterday because i was trying this new collage software, called photoscape. and its quite user-friendly.

woo hoo!

first of all, happy 牛 year to everybody!

新年快乐，恭喜发财!!!

btw do you noe that some 新年贺词 are taboo?

so here are the 贺词 that you should avoid:

财源滚滚 - (裁员滚滚)

招财进宝 - (招裁禁饱)

心想事成 - (薪饷四成)

财源广进 - (裁员广尽)

anyway, wish everyone enjoy your cny holidays, eat more more food, win more more money, and when its wednesday, everything will be back to normal... sian. hahaha.

saturday post

today happen to have two anniversaries.

firstly, is me and darling's 27th month anniversary!

and secondly is my 6th year anniversary of my enlistment into the army.

thankfully today my dad no need to work, so i got to use the car, which made my life today so much more convenient, because i have to go to quite a few places. first i drove to my tuition place. now i got two tuition classes every sat, one sec 4 class and a sec 3 class. i prefer the sec 4 class to the sec 3 class, cos the sec 4s are more serious and more attentive, but at the same time they are quite fun. as for the sec 3 class there are a few brats who dun pay attention and try to act cute, which i seriously dunno why they pay money and come for tuition in the first place. these brats should just scram away from my class and use the money for other useful purposes, like buying sch uniform or stationery.

after tuition, i drove to old airport road hawker centre, since its quite near to my tuition place. i bought the super yummy fried durian and fried 年糕. if you ever go to the hawker centre, must definitely buy the fried durian to eat, and must eat when its hot, and its damn shiok. after buying the fried durian, i drove to hall for dance practise. btw, i have agreed to dance in one item for nus chi dance. so i will have two different performances coming up. the dance steps for this item are still ok, not that difficult, but the music is super fast.

finally, went to vivo with darling to watch red cliff II. very very nice! although the script in the movie is a bit different from the actual storyline, but not that 荒唐, so still can accept.

lin zhi ling plays a more important role in part II compared to part I, and i must admit that she is damn gorgeous. haha. tony leung and jin cheng wu are also damn suave in their roles.

ok i am super tired now, going to sleep, here's wishing everyone a prosperous chinese new year! happy ang bao collecting and goodies-eating!

friday post

i think my little sis is the luckiest girl in the world.

u noe who is this guy?

he is 郑嘉颖!!! the hk celebrity!

my sis was working in the duty-free wine shop at T3, and then he walked into the shop!

he wanted to buy a bottle of don perignon champagne, so my little sis ask him where is he bringing it to, and he said he bringing it to the maldives. so my little sis told him its impossible (maybe the country dun allow tourists to bring wine?), and then he replied in very perfect english: "nvm, i will take the risk."

and my little sis said she melted. -.-'''

so who is he going with to the maldives? isit 佘诗曼? haha.

anyway, today is my parents' 26th year wedding anniversary!!! so they got married in 23 jan 1983, then on that night do that thing, and i POP out on 11 nov 1983. talk about first time lucky. haha. or simply because my dad is damn power. hahahaha.

tmr will be a super packed day for me. tuition from 11 am to 2 pm, go to KE for dance prac from 230 to 530 pm, then rush to vivo to watch red cliff II with darling at 7 pm! :)

dance

some of you may be puzzled why i am dancing in school. well its because i took a dance module in this semester.

for pe teachers rite, we must take some sports modules, and they will give us quite a few to choose from.

last sem, we have to choose between basketball and rugby, which i chose basketball.

this sem, we have two groups. one group is dance and track & field. the other group is soccer and netball. so we must choose one choice out of each group. i wanted track & field and soccer, but hor, too many pple want track, and dun want dance, so bo bian some pple have to go to dance, so i volunteer myself since i have a bit of dance experience.

anyway next sem also have two groups, which will be gymnastics and swimming, and the other group is badminton and volleyball. most likely i will choose gymnastics and volleyball. haha. as for the last sem is to choose one sport out of hockey, softball and tennis.

ok i am sure all of you are very curious wat i learn in this dance module. well, my instructor is this very nice lady, who is also a professor (WOW!), and the dances that she teach us so far is folk dances. we will also be learning rock n roll and cha cha later. hahaha.

so to let you see a few examples of the folk dances that we learn.


Mayim Mayim, a folk dance from Israel (not Maxim Maxim)

a group of chinese learning mayim mayim

Korobushka, a folk dance from Russia

(just register in your mind this scenario: me, dancing those dances with a big bunch of muscular guys.)

haha. i think you will be highly entertained if you see us dance, LIVE.

weekend post

nothing happening in my life right now, so got nothing to blog.

i treasure my weekends alot, and try to stay at home as much as i can, to accompany my parents. but the thing is i am teaching tutition in the afternoon on saturdays, and sat and sun nights are sacrificed for dance rehearsals.

btw let me provide some background information on this upcoming performance i am involved in. the theme is on deforestation, so there will be 3 different types of roles in this dance: the trees, the natives and the loggers.

i am one of the loggers, and i have lots of interaction with the trees. so i must cut them, chop them, push them, lift them, 摧残 them. haha.

i think this will be a very nice dance, with a very good concept to begin with, plus the nice dance steps. the performance will be held at ucc studio, so can only house around 60 pple, and the most cock thing is the audience must sit on the floor. yes very turn off i noe.

right now i am in hall, and my new roomie has shifted in. he is a prc, very nice guy, very soft spoken, very humble. good lah, seems that i got an angel, luckily nv get devils from hell. haha. hope that i am able to click well with him.

cny is coming very very soon, and seriously i think its coming too fast. the next holiday after that have to wait until april, which is good friday.

nevertheless, i am still looking forward to cny, where i can eat steamboat with family and relatives, and all sorts of goodies. yay!

lastly, to my partners, just eat everything you can and enjoy all the nice food. haha. i will lift more dumbells to build up my arm strength.

ponyo at jurong point

went to jurong point with darling this evening.

jurong point has just finish renovation, and is now super big. now got jp1 and jp2, where jp1 is the original jurong point, and jp2 is the extension. alot of new shops and new restaurants, and the most outstanding shop has to be the ntuc fairprice on the 3rd level, which is GIGANTIC, similar to carrefour (dunno how to spell), where it sells electronics other than groceries.

we watched ponyo. very nice anime. encourage everyone to watch it. if you want a movie review, pls go to maxim's blog, oops sorry, i mean max's blog, aka ah yam.

as you noe, gv shows damn alot of commercials before the movie starts, and one of the commercials is a trailer from jack neo's latest movie.

his movie has alot of funny lines, and here's a portion of it:

but before i start, first, you must imagine you super 艳福不浅, and just got yourself a very hot gf, looking like this:

so this guy A is telling you:

刚在一起的时候，她就会说：不！不！

不久后，就会说：不要！不要！

当你们结婚几年之后，她就会喊：不要停！不要停！

HAHAHA.

super funny lah.

once again i must stress that these lines come from jack neo's latest movie. not from my brain or watsoever. :P

我死定了

i am in deep trouble.

.

.

.

my tummy is getting bigger and bigger. :(

i really dun understand why.

on mondays, i have one hour of dance and one hour of soccer.

ok tuesday is my nua day. so i will try my best to go jogging.

wednesdays, i have two hours of soccer, from 330 to 530, which is the hottest time of the day.

thursdays, i have two hours of dance.

friday is also my nua day, so i will also try to go jogging.

saturday nights are for dance practises.

sunday mornings are for soccer sessions, and nights are for dance practises.

i work out so much, why i still have such a big tummy?! haiz this is so saddening. so it all boils down to my diet.

i cant possibly cut down on wat i eat, cos i love food. but i shall try my best to cut down on suppers.

so i have to do more exercises in order to lose the excess calories.

i have a classmate, during the dec vacation, he jog everyday, go to the gym, and now he lost 7 kg! wah i must look up to him for inspiration and motivation.

so from now on, i will try my very very best to do 100 sit-ups everyday, and jog 3 to 5 km for at least twice a week.

hopefully this will be the end product:

haha.

weekend post

went to watch takraw ihg in the morning. the reporter from the 橙宿舍 summarise 红宿舍's performance in 3 words: outwitted. outplayed. overwhelmed.

honestly speaking, i still think the red hall put up quite a credible performance, despite their so few trainings plus poor attendance. takraw is a very technical game, which requires lots of practise, and bonding among all 3 players in the regu. but the other halls' standard are improving by leaps and bounds, and the red hall's standard still 停滞不前. haiz i cant help but feel a bit sad.

did not watch the final between orange hall and yellow hall, cos have to rush to my classmate's daughter's bday party, which was at sengkang. wah taking NE line from harbourfront to sengkang is no joke man. nzj now i realise why you die die want to stay hall. haha.

this is the classmate, and her daughter. the 大姐大 of our class. she was an ex-obs instructor.

dance practise just now was quite fulfilling. at least i know better the whole sequence of the dance, and recognise the music better also. i think it will be a good show, but seriously we really dun have much time left. hopefully all of us can do a good job when the time comes. and hopefully my chemistry with my pdd partner will peak at the right time. haha.
