I'll be back with venegance in my final year!!!!

PS:If you fight hard in NUS, u can only manage a mere two A's. That's for idiots like me...SIGH:(

HoHoHo...Merry Christmas

Hello world. Haven't been blogging since i came back home. Well, I did enjoyed being pampered at home. Daily routine has been the same: Sleep, Eat, Computer, Sims, TV till wee hours in the morning combined with ocassional rehearsals and caroling sessions at various places( Genting, KLCC, and some high class restaurants)

It has been very stressful in terms rehearsals and all. Sometimes having different opinions in which people do not always agree is tough. But with only two days of caroling left, I'm so gonna miss caroling with the gang. Considering the next year my final yr(meaning my last chance), I shall consider whether I want to..and of course whether I'm asked to!!!!

After Christmas, my i-don't-wanna-know results will be out. I really hope that whatever my results be, I won't be disappointed since I reallllly tried my best studying the "shit" out of it, and pass through every painful finals.

Urgh...Exactly a wk more till I leave for Deutschland...
:(:(

Sem 1, 07/08: Reflections

Ah, today marked my freedom. Not totally free though. I realized i had so much to do, and i wanted to stuff it all in a day.
First I collate all my files, since i wanted to reformat my comp. I'm finally done with that. This is sucky if you done really clean up ur comp that often. Next I need to prepare a checklist, pack..AND READ UP my Harry Potter..its soooo overdue.
Hm speaking of which, I have some overdue pics which I will show later.
Hahz, here are my holiday plans lemme list down so I dun forget

1. Finish the Deathly Hallows
2. Revise German 1 (Urgh, Study!)
3. Christmas Caroling plus rehearsals(sure is gonna be fun)
4. Celebrate my belated birthday with a key shaped cake or whatever :)
5. Pack my stuff and hope everything turns out fine
6. Buffet @Jogoya (a mustmustmustmustmust)
Shall update the list if anything pops up

Well since the title said reflections so now i shall do one
This sem...phew...is really a rough one..I'm glad I'm over with this sem
There were obviously many ups and downs, wished I could turn back time and turn those bad things around.
It started out badly, when I found out that in week one, I wasn't as keen to study as i was the past two sems. I remembered my yr 2 days was spent at the library daily..non-stop RBR-ing...haha those were the days..i remembered returning those RBR books 2-3am everynight just to chiong..Glad it did paid off..
So I hoped when week 2 or 3 came, I may slowly get the pace..but NO..it still din come through...Sighz..so i tot..maybe change this sem's strategy a little
so i decided to implement the CHIONG LAST MINUTE Strategy..while still reading lecture notes after every lecture(Immediately after one)
Unlike last sem, I did not touch the textbooks as much as I did before. It was very minimal, which worries me
So came the day in wk 6 where i had two exams. Surprisingly, they turned out quite ok, and I was very surprised with Biz Policy. So i thought studying last minute paid off huh.
Then right after sem break there was this VERy DIFFICUlT Financial Market mid term which had a 40 percent weightage. Immediately after the exam I had a bad headache, thinking I did badly. But a month later,I got the results and was quite satisfied:)
Then came the wake up call, when I screwed my Investment mid term. Coz i got below the class average, which made me supppper worried.
From then on I sooo hate investment banking that i vow not to take up a Investment Banking job (Banking job like in OCBC still can ler)
Then after those crappy exams were the projects. Out of 5 modules, four had super loadful of projects, which I suppper hate...
Then the feeling of working with ppl u dun like makes it even worse..BAH..shall not elaborate here
Then came the final exam: Investment wus OK, Strategy totally sucked, Today's Service ops..I'm just speechless man..Oh i forgotten Cybercrime and Financial Markets totally sucked as well..i tot both was goin to be easy..but NONO
So with all the sucky exams, I guess I'm prepared to get sucky grades huh
But I took away some lessons to be learnt this sem
NEVER STUDY LAST MINUTE
STUDY RIGHT FROM WEEK 1
Hehe, i will follow this religiously in my final year, after I enjoy my lovely holiday
I guess the challenges this sem was the transition from level 2 to level 3 modules..and loads of projects, it made me totally worn out lor

Ok i guess that's it..nid to map my modules, harry potter, so mannny things to do...PLS give me more time..and alot of pppl to meet too

PS: If you try very hard to read my blog, then u know why I always get B+ for essays and never A's coz I never organize it properly muahaha
we will see my results soon to prove it :(

Oh shucks i forgot my overdue photos hehe
I rewarded myself by having a sirloin steak at Aston's Express, PGP with pasta salad and baked potato as my sides. Tell you the steak was quite flavourful, but I was rather impressed with the baked potato which had butter smothered over it and the pasta salad..MMM..i LUV steak..i heart steak..so now I'm goin to try Hog's Breath set lunch keke..soup steak and MUD PIE..yums..gona be fat now..so bler.Hm but i cant afford to eat there anymore, until my SEP is over. PGP's so happening now lor, got good food, probably during my final yr will ask Ah Sze go PGP every Saturday night and try their Hongkie Baked Rice(mmmmmm), Beijing noodles super yummy slurp
and SOYA BEAn YUMMY my favourite..will go back to Aston's..will eat up the whole PGP..but make it cheaper la PLS>..i'm so poor..:(
Oh there's chong pang nasi lemak and cheese prata shop too..hehz

Two weeks Two weeks

Hm Today is me laundry day. So when I do my laundry, I always thought to myself" Wah, one wk flies har"
Anywayz, that terrible day is over. Two modules cleared in one day. What can I say?First I screwed my FM presentation, coz i totally went blank that day. So damn embarassed. Hope I dun leave a bad impression on prof, since I was his "good" student with "good" mid term results :D
Then came the so called "easy" 20 percent final exam. I mean it was OK. Expected questions like this, but can don so twisted or twisty or NOt. I don understand forwards and futures la wei...So that's the end of my crappy FM..Donno can get A or not, was counting for an A since i got "hee" for my Mid Term.
So my other potential cybercrime, guess what? Tony Chew did want us to fail. I studied "quite hard" for his part, and yet those answers which I was pondering between A and B. In the end, i got wrong since I circled A then B later on...FIVE QUESTIONS potentially gone!!!I cud have gotten 45/50...sobz..Well what to do
But good news is everyone did much poorer in their second test. So median 73 ME 8- U think can score A or not?A minus at least la plssss

So there you have it, three more papers, 13 more days, one survivor, who will survive??? MEEE!!!I've been slacking. I can't even study properly for one hour then i will either go down and read newspaper, go toilet and walk walk ...do whatever it takes to make me happy..sighz..i will try God i will try...

Ok try hard...
Ohz, the main reason i blogged was to show my mum this (Yea like she ever reads my blog, but will show her the pics nevertheless)

I want either this or this ok for my bday Ok..heee...so LOOOk up there properly and look at the design properly..NO mess ups :P



OK lucks for exams everyone, and ME TOO..i want all A's or 3 A's la..at least better then my forever 2 A's per sem..PUI

Counting the days

Haih 24 days..seems short..but yet so dang far
well..i'm taking a long and slacking tv break..
I got one more Financial markets report
I managed to overcome the super tough mid term
Now I'm just worried about the report, worrying how the lack of communication with four exchange students will jeopardize my chances of getting my Apple.
Mid-term shud be quite do-able
I really hope everything turns out fine eventually
Then comes cybercrime, argh..second half is terrible..what is the hell with hash functions, signature algorithm..its mashed..and i dun geddit..none at all
I know what is currency crises, but u call me to write some crappy report on it..i dunno how to start..and lack of cooperation just makes me worse..
NO HELP..NO TEAM WORk..SO FACK..
I will worry bout IA, Biz Policy and Service Ops later man
I dreamt that i got 43 for IA test 2..sucks..hopefully that its the opposite in reality
Let the the 14th come sooner..and 29th too

Project woes

I'm so facking sick of Project and the fact I have to face project members with different facking personalities....AH FUCK!
Today there was this small issue over me "wrongly accusing" some ppl for HEAVILY PLAGIARIZING...i mean DUH...its HEAVILY PLAGIARIZED alrite...so do i give a fuck?
I was soo tired from editing the crap u gave..so duh..i have to say its plagiarized..word for word copied from the article
Isn't it the same as copying someone's work...wth...anywayz
This person gave me the first impression of arrogance, think she's on top of the world, smarter than anyone's ass...
This is what u get when you work with ppl who are also studying in the so called top ranked university in the world..or at least the top 20 in the world
Well i had woes too with my second project group
It's not like I'm an unapproachable person (My other two projects group presently is doin fine)
So i don't see why I can't work with other ppl. Or it's just that I'm having a badbad sem
Working with shitty ppl. Whom i think are fucking arrogant, act like they know everything. But inside their shitty brain they know nothing

Muahahah...nvr have i felt and think so badly of project mates..NVR IN MY TWO AND A HALF YRS IN UNI
Probably i hated someone last sem. But it wasn't the hate that i'm feeling this sem
Well, i guess i just need to pour myself out here. And well if someone comes shooting at me the next few days. I will just say..Fuck!I didn't mean to say that..
And its just a vicious cycle coz i will start bitching about this person who said things bout me etc

OKAYZ...More project stuff to do and lecture notes to catch up
52days more to end of school and arrival of Germany
:)

Just another day

Well it's wk 5.

I suddenly had an inspiration. By staring at my "goals of this semester" hoping to get myself Apples, I had not much probs Studying(grammar error intended, pfffft)

But, Today my spirits had gone down.

U might probably wonder why????

Well. First, I was being sensitive, when I'm the LAST ONE TO KNOW about smthing petty. And my Good fren told me "You din even bother to ask"
WTF???U MEAN I DIn BOTHER TO ASK????
WHEN I ASKED No one can give me a reply. And when I try not to be so kaypoh, then no one even have the COURTESY to tell me. AND SAY i dun even BOTHER to ask...HOW NIIIIICCEEE....
So yes, i will be extremely sensitive, if you as a friend, dun even bother to tell me stuff...which is actually pppppeeetttyyy:P lol

Now then, came the nxt petty thing which made me a lil pissed. WHY would you choose to dump me all at once??HUHHUHHUH???
If I'd knew, I would have gone down with someone else, INSTEAD OF PATHETICALLy WAITING, and in the end , expecting NO ONE To TURN UP???

GRRRR....anywayz...back to Studying mode...

Gonna catch HairSpray tonight.

Two mid terms nxt wk:am gonna mug "hard" i guess...weee..mug smart

Air tickets this Saturday. Hope I land on a gooooodie deal...then followed by much detested Insurance purchase and Visa and TADAH..Ohz stupid application too

Boarwing Day

Wk 2 has ended. And I'm already stressed like mad. I really hope i can chiong all the way frm Wk 3 onwards till 29th November.Really MUST!!!

I'll just develop a bad headache or somewhat after only one-two hours of studying. And that's not it. Sleeping is my NUMBER one enemy. The computer is my number two. I will give myself at least till tmr to destress myself and switch on my study mode. Really hope I dun screw strategy for starters. The 26 pg Starbucks case is killing me.

I am thinking alot about SEP. Huuuurrr...about how nice life will be there. All the eye candies I can spend looking at...Huuuurrrr...*Slaps self* Better focus.

Ok. Here's wishing me(and you, if you need some) LUCKssss for this semester OkayZZZZZ

Transparency in HALL-Payments should be made clear!!!!

Yo dude. Three days to be exact till the end of my internship!
Still hate my XXX though, last wk supposed to enjoy somore give me more work. She's gonna miss me coz no one goin her dirty old work. I still got loads more to do tmr. Shall do it like a tortoise.

Anywayz, I'm here to rant...Yea i know AGAIN...shall call this a rant/complaint/whatever blog

So this is the story. Saw Raymond's MSN that says temasek website is up. So being the curious me, checked it out. Went through the committee link, looked at tech crew, then rag, then DND
Found out that the theme this yr is Heroes. Checked out when was the bash(Although I'm not a bash goer). It was on the first wednesday of school. Hm in zouk somore. Then i read on..."Tickets are available $12 for girls and $16 for guys" Well obviously coz Wednesday's ladies night.
So then something came into me...I was so FREAKING PISSEd(AS USUAL :P)
WHY, u asked?

Well coz the orientation pack since yr one includes a bash ticket. Not to say like i LURVVVVVVVE bashes or what BUT HECK I PAY FOR IT DUDE. So, the OC member even have the guts to tell me "OC welcome pack price also din increase what"
My business instincts tell me that, distribution of bash tickets by first wk is technically impossible. Moreover they even put the price on it, so i guess that it's not included? I may be wrong. And if so, i shall recall this post then.
BUt until then, I am not satisfied. What if the $70 does not even include a bash ticket, worth around $14?I guess DND wouldnt be so $%^&@ not to make it compulsory by collecting the bash funds. Or probably they want us to pay more!!!

So what is inside the $70 welcome pack. Piece of crap( Although i must say this yrs goodies are good)
But what the heck..THE GOODIES ARE STILL FREEBIES sponsored by companies. I dun expect them to be charging for teeny weeny samples rite???
Content inside the goodie pack: Biscuits, Cosmetics...
The ex stuff are the orientation T(I dun mind that, it changes every yr), POLO T(3rd one and counting. I'm so not goin to receive my fourth one), URGH LOUSy TOWEL THAT DOESNT even absobr water...
TTS ALL!!!!
And heck i havent even started complaining about the hall meals. $40/ week for ALl MEALS EXCEPT SAT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH...WTF?????
Lets do the math. I'm charged $21/wk for six bkfasts and dinners. Which is also ex by stds.Coz i dun nid to spend $1.1 for bkfast nor $2.4 for dinner.
So there are six bkfast, six lunches and seven dinners in total
So the six bkfast&six dinners=$21...CORRECTY?
One dinner is equivalent to $2.4
So take the balance which is $16.6 and divide it by 6 (Coz six lunches ma)=$2.76
WHAT $2.76 for a piece shit of lunch..WHICH IS EXPENSIVE THAN DINNER???
OR THE MEALS ARE OVER PRICED DURING ORIENTATION?
Whatever it is, I dun get the theory and the logic.
Is it fair, for the seniors to pay $200 for two wks of orientation, where its not obligatory for them to show up. But it's compulsory to pay?I know convenience for Hall office n all. But shudn't the Hall Office, and so some holiday comm involved in this thingy, think of the seniors' welfare?
HOw many ppl can afford this? A hall is still a place for ppl to stay. Not to wallop ppls money and all. AND AFTER THREE YEARS, (Erhem shud be two yrs) NOthing has been done to stop this. I'm sure MANY PPL have already made their point, complained like shit. BUT TO NO AVAIL!!!!IS THIS HOW THE HALL OFFICE AND WHOEVER can earn their money out...to cover losses or whatever in their comms or bla???
I'm sure the caterer only get their $$$ based on the number of coupons they have received. And what about those who din check in? Where does the money go???

Sensitive issues like $$$$ irritates me. Dun blame me, I'm a practical person, and money means everything to me. Sounds like a true BUsiness Student INDEED....

HOpe someone can enlighten me out of this.
I'm so not gonna stay in hall nxt yr...and i bet no one cares HAHAHA...

Day 59@Work

Sighz.Work was terrible today. Had non-stop work till 4.30pm, where I can finally read like A FEW PAGES of Harry potter...Dang slow lor...

I was quite sad

1)Someone told me my written English is bad for a typical NUS Business Student. Lousy std...Sighz..but i think it was the sake of my good..(Grrr...took so long to think of this sentence, which explains my LOUSy english)
Ok i'm still thinking whether my last sentence is correct
Anywayz, Haihz...i can nvr score when it comes to essay questions, which shuns me away from Taking essay based cross fac modules..to avoid these at all cost. Scared might get a BIG FAT C or D...nvr want that to happen anymore...FIRST yr academic memories BEGONE. So i guess, i nid to read more harry potter..even i nid to read it over and over again(just that sentence) to understand what it reall means...SIGHZ...WE WILl SEE...i will work hard on that and improve

2)My frens make me wait HALF AND HOUR FOR THE DINNER!!!!....But it was damn fun lar...more on that when the pictures are ready...Im WAITING XXX HEEEEE


Happie thing (But abit sad) is I got my SEP results
I got my fourth choice(AGAIn!!!!Last sem too) which is Koblenz otto Beisheim School Of managment Germany. Unlike my fourth choice last sem, which was otago University.
Come to think of it, I donno whether abandoning my choice last sem kill me or benefit me. We shall see when i end my sep experience...Hopefully

Think i'm gonna accept it. I am "quite...abit" disappointed...probbaly coz i din even get my first three choices
Uni Melbourne...sighz..fat hopes of getting into that one..coz there were only like two places and i had to fight with the whole of NUS...grrrr...so there goes my melbourne chance
Uni of otago...apparently not offered according to my coordinator..but i still applied..looks like it's not offered then...since i din get it
I TOT i was goin to get UNC...since it had FIVE places..and was only open to business Students..But goin to US is not easy..and the chances of being selected are slim..especially when it comes to UNC, Kenan Flagler Business School...(Reputable one lei)HAIHZ
So Here(Insert fourth choice)
Followed by fifth choice Manchester Business School
My colleague said Manchester GOod wor..well I nvr fail to choose the best schools in the world:P:P
But looks like they want me to go Germany..or maybe they just dump me there..i realli hope got khaki with me lor
And i always trust what God gives me...He knows best as to where i shud go. I shud say its a blessing in disguise.
1)Uni of Melbourne is a good plc.Near and all..butttttt...i think all my first three i din get..it all comes down to money. Melbourne is freakkkkking expensive, I cant imagine even just an apartment costs u about 180-200 PER WEEK...so u go figure the monthly rent..and it doesnt include meals..WHICh ARE QUITE Expensive in melbourne...then u Know la..what it adds to..heeeee
2)Otago was really around my budget(Oops sorrie for the mistake in number one) but it was definitely out..Din know why it was listed under the university choices though
3)UNC was also another expensive place. The air ticket, needless to say is exxxx...to and fro..but it was a good choice..and i thought i cud actually go to new york..catch a broadway show..and if possible, meet Hugh Panaro:P
If i compare it to Melbourne, I'd rather go to UNC. but my mum asked me to pick the nearest place first, so....:)
UNC's accomodation is about 2400 per sem..considered cheap compared to Melbourne(DUH)..but the exchange rate for US is slightly higher than australia, so with air tickets..and food..yep i will have to spend around the same as Melbourne. Which makes it abit uncomfy for me
4)the blessing in disguise. This school only has one faculty business...Not really sure about the school..(simply chose it and read through their biography) I always choose schools with"reputation"..and I think accomodation is my main criteria..Coz accomodation makes the bulk of where my money goes..together with food...So monthly rent here is 230 euros..and when u compare to Melbourne and north Carolina...freaking cheap rite..which means..i can even think of travelling around europe..Bad thing is..i nid to start "loving" europe..coz i was more keen in Australia and US...which is something i can "relate" too...unlike Germany, where their first language is not the language i speak
5) Manchester Business School(Bleugh) Out of my topic

On the brighter side. i can travel. I've studied basic German(Mum asked me to brush up my Deutsch)
So yup, i guess it will be a anew beginning..start learning to love Europe...Ich liebe Europa...blablabla

Yups till then wish me all the best

PS:This post was written unintentionally long to improve my English. hope it helps YOu and ME:)

Friday the 13th-BAD DAY

I think the title pretty much says it all. Loooong story. But am not gonna disclose. It will be etched in my heart...for at least at yr?

Think what Sze said is right.I nid to toughen up. if i'm gonna be a woochibaby when i'm still working then it will be bad. probably tts y i dun like being under the control of ppl. I like doing things myself. I feel quite at ease when My XXX is nt ard most of this wk. So at ease, but stress, but feeels not bad. When i did HR last sem, i did this survey thingy. And it came out that my emotional stability is 2.5/5, which is very true for my case. I'm so emotionally unstable, when will I ever overcome this?Seems like it will never happen.COI!!!Haha will la. Well, I shall reflect this during th wkend.

On a happier note, I'm going East Coast tmr for some time with friends, enjoying life. Life is short..REALLY...
Bad things just need to go away frm me. I don't want them near me

So about the east coast thingy, hm about more than 5 ppl..having fun cycling, probably picnic or bbq if that is gonna work..chatting away in lalaland..
I feel that I start to spend more, which is good in a way that i enjoy myself with my salary. bad is..spend too much

Haiz..feel so ...dead..

well good days are coming ahead...JOo Chiat here i come!!!
Goodbye perverts, idiots and what not!!!!Grrrrrrr

Raffles Place with friends

Argh...I'm whining now coz I didn't put my camera phone to good use eh. Sometimes i just forgot that I DOOO have a camera phone. Or maybe i'm just not a photo person/person who doesn't like to take fotos...

Well, we were supposed to meet at 5pm at Raffles Place MRT. So i left at 3.45pm frm Hall. I know I know.It's so stupid that I left so freaking early lor. Coz if i leave half an hour later, It might be too late, plus i wanted to catch the NUH Free shuttle.
So went to NUH. GUess what?STupid BUS doesn't operate on Sundays...DAMN..have to walk back to the same bus stop. Good exercise tho lol. Then wait forever and ever for 95 to come.Reached RAFFLES MRT sooner than i tot 4.49pm.

Passed by Mr Bean http://mrbean.com.sg/product.asp
Slurp, (btw i dun fancy Soya Beans, but....) So i went to check it out. Slurp, I bought a Soya Bean ice -cream. Taste exactly like soya bean, love the cone too. I must start loving soya bean now, coz i wanna have good complexion.Siao!

So I walked one big round and got lost around Raffles Place. the place is so freaking quiet during the weekend, and it is very busy wkdays la coz ppl work der ma.Finally saw teahouse@China Square. saw Erik. was so happy:)

Teahouse wasn't open for dinner till 6pm so...we went to Village Wok to eat PoPiah..6 pieces for 18++ lo..EX!!!
BUT!!!! It was super nice lo.Haiz, I wished i took the DAMN pictures. K imagine it visually urself, got prawns, eggs, chinese sausage, dried stuff(sesame, blablabla)
OOh i love the chilli and garlic, the garlic especially(so garlicky and hot, mmmm)
Then there's the black sauce, the POPIAH skin was so aweeeesomeeee....and the turnips not to forget..was nicely done and not to overly tasty. And YESH!!THe popiah skin din tear this time..coz i think that kind dun tear easily. As usual our special guest Erik gets to eat the last one (Bwahaha, Im waiting when I'm on exchange, then i can be treated like royalty too!)
Slurp, so nxt round-went to Teahouse Lo. Slurp the DimSum is like aweeesome can?
Too bad we din go for the buffet coz the price is abit steep $28. Hi Tea shud be better at less than 20 dollars. we ordered the usual:HarGao, Siew Mai, Char Siew Sou, Prawn Mango thingy, and Turnip Cake(which was a pathetic one piece), Oh then the nxt round we ordered less: Char Siew pau and Beancurd Skin Rolls with Prawn(wow so yummy). I sinned:Coz i ate lots of prawn and yam. Dessert wus: Ou Ni( Yam Paste thingy with pumpkin thingy with Gingko Nuts(my fav Gingko) and Creamy Peanut Paste with Tang Yuan. Quite a decent meal for five of us. The price:$8.40 per person. BUT STILL: I dun mind paying $28 for it. But some ppl would not pay for that price, and that i CAN UNDERSTAND. Haha, coz when u pay that much, u can have a more satisfying meal i guess. Blurgh, took photos and head home.

Talked alot to Erik and the rest(Hui En, Steph and Kok Soon) about life at UNC, US and in general. Haha, it's quite fun and knowing that all of us can still manage to talk and talk and talk. It's good. Coz the problem with me is, when i dun see that person for a long time, I will have two worries: I will have damn alooot of things to tell them, or I donno what to talk to them. This will depend on how close you are to that person, and whether u can open up and talk this kind of stuff with them, and how sociable they are.

Well if u wanna head for good DimSum go to :Teahouse @China Square...i ... MUST...bring my Mommy there...provided she eats more

Kristin Chenoweth-Glitter and Be Gay



Music speaks louder than words.

This is from operetta Candide by Leonard Bernstein. THere are other notable opera singers who did this: Sumi Jo, june Andersen, and Natalie Dessay. But this is the first for an American Broadway Singer who is a coloratura soprano too. Her voice is light but very interesting, maybe not as dramatic as the other singers interpretation wise. Mind you, this song is super difficult. If u listen to the hahahaha part, very fast and all the sliding notes in scales.

Idol Part II



Grr i suck at embedding youtube videos on my blog. I donno how to do and i Just dun bother to learn. Oh mymy. Pardon me for being such a long and winding story teller. I guess yam pau would be interested since I'm talking about ah peks here. But they are hot lei mind you, as hot as char siew pau k:P

Hugh Panaro:Ohz, this is the guy i adore so much.My recent idol. His voice just give me the chills man. RJ has been my idol for five years. And somehow this new one is so amazing that i can find nothing wrong with his voice.his path was abit similar to mine but the later part was different. His mother was a piano teacher(like me), so he started on piano very young (organ too!). Developed a penchant for singing. Has a BA in Voice frm Temple university. So yep, that sums it all. It's just i took(and still taking) a BBA and RJ ad BS in Maths. So this guy is a well trained super duper singer, which explains why his voice is sooooo flawless. Hahaz.

How it began: Phantom of the OPera like duh!No, he did not come to Singapore for that. Apparently it was Brad Little who starred as the Phantom. Unfortunately, he didn't give much of a goosebump like Hugh( But I still love u n ur voice, Brad)So that was when I went to do my "research" right after phantom, about the show, the cast, who were the singers. Using youtube and the www as my powerful tool, I stumbled across Hugh's Phantom scene. PS:I have this BADBAD syndrome after a musical, that I will go agaga over it, keep looking for the songs, learning them by hard and LOVELOVELOVE them even more. So once i heard, WOW this guy's voice is cool. So as usuall google the feller's name to c how good he was, profile and all. Haha the picture showed up on Google Images. WOW HOT, since then he was my all time favourite phantom thought I din get to c him in action.
So u Know la, my modus operandi is the VOICE first, THEn if that person LOOKs damn GOod..Voila, he becomes my idol eventually LOL

Well if you're gonna youtube him Hugh Panaro. You're to find manymanymany songs on him. Yumz. Unlike RJ only got four, sobz. Lemme recommend u the best ones.

www.myspace.com/hughpanaromusic

Woh u better listen to Make our Garden Grow on the myspace player. ITS DA BOMB. MY Favourite of all his songs. Even including the phantom..WAHSEH..this is frm Candide the operetta. So it might sound abit operatic but not the heavy ones. But by far his operatic side..VEry Good..then you can compare when he sing other songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AolVLEysOcY
This is from Sweeney Todd. Some broadway stuff la in US. PLS LOOK at how much energy he use Sing ah..look at the veins on his neck..ewww. i hate his hair and style there. But the voice is SUPER DUPER GOOD..wah..two songs..two contrasting mood. Ah Miss dies down to Johanna. Pls listen the whole thing. Very GOOD!!!


Trivia:Hugh was in Lestat, Elton John's broadway musical about vampires. But it closed after one month.WTF!He was really disappointed. and i Hope he does come back and star in POTO. If he does i confirm go watch one. hugh said acting as a phantom is FUn BUT VERy TEDIOUS..the make up and all
Ohz he touring Barbra Streisand now all over Europe. So break a leg, Hugh. He's one of the brodway Boys singing with her. Cooooolio
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l75hBIIHLYk
Haha Hugh is hideous here in the Final Scene of POTO. BUt he sings it with full of emotion. Very different from the movie(Movie version sucks). When he explains about his poisoned face blablabla, i love the way he expresse it, with Singing. the last part with the music box, he sounds all childish, singing to him self. Yummy. If u wanna watch the whole thing letme know la HAha.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=uj1KEi0pv7Y
Woh dude this is a must..Slurp..Anywayz Susan sucked.Hugh rocked.That's it.Oh dear i had goosebumps after listening to it..ALOT

i send the links to my friends and all were positive. So those who say he sucked.Go dig up ur ears reall clean!!!!

Till then tata booboo
OHz pictures:My favourite headshot there. Got more hot pictures but go google urself.

Idols are for me to look at



RJ Rosales: I got hooked to him after Chang& Eng in 2002. The musical originated in S'Pore and it went on tours to China, Bangkok and (phew!) Malaysia. The show ran for one wk in Msia, and guess what? I got last minute free tickets(Courtesy of National Choir Msia) and it was the LAST SHOW to watch Chang and Eng lo. And i remembered that time, my granny just pass away like few days before the show, so myy mum was too depressed to come(and she missed it haiz). It was like something gifted sent frm my granny from heaven:A new idol to worship
He played Chang. So I was naturally attracted by his bright, tenorly voice...(Slurp! But of course i couldnt get any closer and c how'd he look like coz its too far). I remembered at the end of the show during the curtain call, I cried coz i was so moved, considering the play was just simple, came from Singapore. Anywayz, din get his autograph after that coz i had skool the nxt day
So the following day, Monday, I went for choir rehearsals at the same place. This time the sneaky me, went to this room, unlocked, and i saw many post show pictures (I SHOULD HAVE STOLEN some of his pics HAHA), and of course the programme booklet inside there. Yes i stole the booklet (Coz it wus on sale prior to that at RM25). So basically I saved RM25 and I committed a crime(Oops, guess I'm going to jail soon). And toodlelah, so happy read his biography BS in Maths..wow i love math too..siao me

So later i was desperate, so i went and get the album at RM80 nia(till now i donno where the heck it is sobz). I had to go all the way to One Utama to get it lo, coz i wanted it desperately and the show's over.Luckily they still have the CDs for another month

2003:That was when i got my internet, then only i got to know much more bout him. Google la (That time no youtube). Since Chang and Eng originated in Singapore, he was in S'Pore for quite a while. Prior to that was Sydney and after that was back to Manila(Now he is back in Aussie doin Miss Saigon as Thuy, Kim's husband from an arranged marriage).


What makes him hot: He is sooo sweet. I almost had chances to go watch him perform. Eg. Esplanade performances, or maybe even work with him.Coz he needs accompanist from time to time. AND he is doin Miss Saigon in Aussie...and I MIGHT be goin there nxt yr...sobz..wasted opportunity


I think that's what i wanna say bout him..Before I Go nah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRaMqxqs2rA
I managed to youtube this song yesterday. Its very Filipino, and it's a very different side of him. Coz when i listen to him singing English, he will tend to have this bright high clear crisp voice. IN this song Tulad Ng Dati, his voice is sweet but not too overpowering.Coz u wudnt want a bright theatre singer showing all his poweress in a Filipino pop song Haha. But it's not my favourite, although I love the tune...so soothing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUaA9o03Zmo
Hm i like this song, Home(conincidentally he sounds almost like Michael buble, another fav

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBHOZmmO0p0
ShE my SURNAME..he performed solely for him HAha...just kidding.This is nice too
yup another one coming soon. Oh he's handsome. What a good thing to go with that marvellous voice
He's the on on the left ok..Taken in 2002. I even have a Hotter picture for him.Erhem, but not for public show yah..DUn think sideways..it's a decent one but not decent Haha
nxt is hugh

Wednesday Update

Haha i finally have some attention on my blog. I realised ppl do read my blog. But maybe some din leave comments la. (Yam pau came too. I'm glad)
So the weird thing that happened today was, YamPau and big Tree acted weird..Yup weird. Coz they felt uncomfortable playing tennis with Kim(my not so close friend-senior). So i was practically in a dilemma. And in the end the game was the best we've ever played since the first day(when we din even noe how to serve that time). So Wasn't that bad after all rite.
Then hor somore want me to treat them ice-cream when we played so well today. Wanna grow fat and lose it nxt wk again ah, then how to lose the cutlet we ate today wor lol?

And the best thing of all my back din hurt as it did last wk..Double yippee, still praying for it to heal though(haiz)

NOw, I'm being frank here. Although i wrote so much about how i detest this internship with crappy work. I realised havin intern friends has made my life so much fun-NER..yes i have 3 more friends. BUt what makes me so special is, after two months, we act like we know each other for quite long.(BUt ah sometimes i donno what to talk to yampau HAha kidding only la)
It just makes my internship even more meaningful. We had the GooD..and Bad Times (Yalah the day they made me cry, Yep Go On and call me a crybaby la)...Nevertheless..i will always cherish this friendship(mothership,pauship,sistership or whatevership la) we've had forever

Haha c this is a dedication post lei. Anywayz I still havent finish my research on Harry Potter Soundtracks. Can't wait for the fifth movie soundtrack to release on the 10th

Oh , I got into the BBA Honours Programme upon my mother's request. Also, I did that for the sake of goin on exchange given that i rejected it last sem. So my last chance lo. Like i have a choice liddat!!!So two more boring years(minus half yr of fun at some angmoh country la)

Wish me luck and nitez

PS:Nah Yampau, dun say i dun write about u...Maybe I should open up the Story of the Pau blog la..Coming realll soon!

Monday Blues

Yep as promised..
I woke up this morning, contemplating on whether should I go to work, since i feel abit drowsy headachy bludy..whatever!!! I decided to forgo my$31.8 per day work, sms my frens and told them to pass the msg to my supervisor. Then sleptsleptslept till about 11am only dragged my ass out of bed. So my phone had sms-es (so sweet of you two, u know who u are), Mei Hui Jie told me my supervisors havent come. One actually came late coz she just arrived from Tuas, then the other holiday guah. (Crosses finger that HR wont Know i din come, so i got yummy pay still:P:P)
Well I finally solved my SEP thingy. My rankings are as follow
1)University of Melbourne
2) University of Otago
3)University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
4) WHU Koblenz Otto Beisheim School of Management, Germany
5)University of Manchester Business School

Of course, I would diedie HOPe i get into Melbourne, coz I have Not so close friends there..at least easier to have a social life...Though cost of living is like DAMMMMN ex...of course i also wish i was in Otago, but the plane ticket costs me a BOMB...and yadah yadah yadah
North Carolina is so freaking far.....butttt...i can go to New York(provided i do SAVE up enough), Go LOOk at Statue of LIberty, Trump Tower, BROADWAY...(Haiz, wish Hugh Panaro was performing somewhere), Pensylvannia(HUgh's hometown)...blabalbal...again ...NC is also EXPENSIVE...not to mention the plane tickets la
Germany...I think cost wouldnt be MUCH of a problem..but HECk German..i mean i did German 1 before..but still i dowanna talk and speak in German..GUten Tag...Ich Liebe Hugh Panaro...yea riiiiiite...and European Education might not suit me...Manchester...good place...BUT looking at the exchange rate..i had to put it as my last choice..the Pound just keeps appreciating against SGD..WTF...and the modules there suck

So why I wanna go on exchange? CAN SU la duh, Fun, Travel, Social, More FUn
So Why i Detest exchange?The process is a pain in the ass, have to save up since I'm going to angmoh countries...MAPPING MODULES is a pain toooo...ERRR..the conclusion is, if i Got a personal assistant and tonnes of $$$..i wouldnt have a bad headache regarding SEP and SKipped work today...URGH
Ok whatever...I just hope that God will show me which number is the one for me...:D
When the time comes, I will be ready to commit and so forth

Speaking about work. I'm so freaking happy that i only have ONe Month, before the dumb internship ends. Means money..and :(:( SCHOOL!!!Dang, three months FLIES eh?
Why do i detest work now?Work is boring(so enjoy school life now)
As a Logistics intern, You can't hire them for long. Coz they only need you to do those stuff that is needed urgently. Ok at some point, I do things wayyyy too fast. So it probably accounts for me being efficient:), so that u give me anything, I finish for you before u blink.
So what happens after two months of work there, You HAVE NOTHING TO DO...SIghz...I wus just waiting for work...And then boring work..until my eye balls wanna pop up liao
Then after that got work..but ITS SHIT WORK..i cant believe I'm ask to go IT work..like testing the SAP system??WTF is that?Then testing some other crap. Then i heard the other day that I'm supposed to do what the Company's help desk is doin now. So i guess, being free is NOT a good thing at all har..if I'm free i will be given shit work..and u know that..I even once sorted recycle paper..coz i realli got nothing to do???BLABLABLA
Of course I cant wait for the stinking month to end.

Hopefully at the end of the year. I will have more lobangs..Probably a short stint as a Finance Intern would be good. Good pay is a must..I nid more $$ for SEP
Hope the Christmas thingy is still on..
HOng BAo frm CNY..heeee

Yep that's about it

I had a bomb back Home..went to celebrate the cousin's bday.Which means KFC Pizza, noodles yummy but i din have much ler...Yummy Cake..too sweet

Ok i guess that's it...More Update if i feel like it

PS:PLS DUn EAt US's Kitkat. Hershey's produce Kitkat there..and i Tell U ..Nestle's still the best
If You Don't believe, get a US kitkat and Msia KitKat..Eat the msia first, then u will puke when u eat the US...But i guess it might be individuals taste. msia has wafer inside. US is just two gooey gross chocolate..EWWW

Toodles

Why are people so picky?

Be it food, job offers/choices, People are just picky. I had to write this cause as of late, people around me are so freaking picky that it just gets on my nerves. No offence. But I'm quite a fuss-free person unless its so bad/horrible etc. that it just puts me off.

Scenario 1:I have a fren who is really picky on food. She will comment anything on the food each and everyday. So IRRITATING la!!!Altho she is my fren, i would be quite irritated by this behaviour. Coz maybe for him/her, he/she lives to eat. BUt ppl like I think i Eat to live. Therefore I treasure food, and I dun waste food, or dont comment much on food UNLESS its so inedible that a rational human can puke his/her food out.(Although I do waste some itsy bitsy stuff which are small in size)


Scenario 2:Pick when it comes to job choice. (Err..i mean internship).
Yep, now tis the season for internship coz we are 2nd years(sophomore year)...oops i mean end of 2nd yr goin to 3rd..So everyone's hunting for a good internship. For me, this is my very first internship, so I was very eager to get any internship i could get my hands on. I thought i lost all hope when by late March I tried applying for more than 10 Internships but No reply. Soon, all came calling one by one. To be frank, some companies are unheard to me, unlike those KPMG shit and blablabla. But I still tried, knowing I could stand a chance and i dun give a damn(wanted to say f***) whether its a big or small company. Tadah, two were logistics company, one pays about $900(good money eh) another which Im working now is and MNC listed in NYSE (current stock price$50.48)...beat that...also there were one for finance intern at some art exhibition company and another from Singapore Sports Council. So now i Know the job market isnt really hard to break through, and come to think of it, i remmebered my resume was like a piece of shit when I submitted to these companies and yet four offers come in. Imagine if I submitted my newly improved and pretty resume the nxt time round.
Now the thing is, I nvr knew that the company i work for, CommScope could turn out to be an MNC listed in NYSE. You see, nvr judge companies by its look. There maybe many MNCS lying all over the world, some are big, some are small, some are unheard of, but in fact are very successful but they just nvr build their brand name as memorable as PnG or Ernst and Young.(LIKE I CARE!!!) And for me getting an internship is already an experience. So PLS dun go saying u wanna reject ur internship bcoz the job scope sucks..doin admin job...or it doesnt match YOu...
I despise People who are so picky. And i can imagine them being jobless even one year after they graduate. If there is an opportunity for you, just take it..OR LEAVE IT...dumbo...after all ITS JUST A DAMn INTERNSHIp...accepting and doing it for three months wund DIE my dear. This is to my so called friend who is so picky about his/her job choice. That it gets on my nerves.And please dun keep looking at famed companies...U KNow what happened to Arthur Andersen do you?Enron case was related to it. It used to be a big five of all accounting companies. So i tell you, working in famed companies doesnt mean anything. Accept what God has to give you and DUn BE PICKY OR FUSSSY>.....PUSSY CATS!!!!!

PS:Apologies for past and present emo posts..I just feel like blogging when I'm angry

Mother's day Gift/Before and After

Went to IMM again(Yes again since I went there the night before. Had dinner at Bay Street..Yummylicious) to shop for Mother's Day Gift. Was supposed to meet the aunt at Clementi but apparently shesaid some jewellery shops were closed down for renovation. You see, they wanna match their newly renovated shop with the newly renovated Interchange lol.
It was noon by then , so we headed to the Kopitiam. Had mushroom creamyspaghetti..slurp..
So off we go shopping for Mother's day prezzie. Had asked Momma what she wanted.coz i dun really pay attention to what ppl wear and bla.
Exterior


So i got her this REALLi expensive..(according to my definition) earrings. Its realli unique..i show u..its got pearls, blue topaz, and also a tiiiiny diamond. the aunt thinks it unique, so I followed her preference and bought it. price ard $150-$200 shall not tell u...The aunt got herself a slightly cheaper earrings too..heart shaped earrings with pale red on one side and diamond on the other half.
Mum's present

Didn't hang ard IMM coz i did some walking yesterday night already, so boarded the bus to Vivocity..Yes again this place(I went there last week with my hallies)
Went to Candy Empire(my fav hangout)...argh no more Kitkat Mint..sold out..coz the family back at home wanted coz it was soo nice..and they were sooo nice they didnt leave for me ah thx...Later i bought me bus tix Harbourfront Ctr (SGD94) lucky there were seats left for the wesak day Holidayz
After tt i went to check out Daiso..super hate that plc..so packed..looked for smthing the hallies wanted..laptop bag at $2..but i think it looks small so i din buy it. Before that I wus in Daiso talking to my mum for half n hour. So i was just walking ard Daiso aimlessly for 30 minutes. Talked alot...I called her 3 Times a day can u believe it?(I just bought my $10 call card last wk, and tadah left $4 only damn!!!)..She was talking bout the shitty day they(and her) had on the stupid Public Holidayz that govt take as Wesak Day..so bludy dumb..i mean if Wesak Day is on 31st then let it be that day la..what for put on 2nd May and make that day so Suay..since all the foreign workers(construction) will hv fun during holidayz and go house breaking...Pissed man
Apologies..got distracted..so chatted about family problems ..the ups and downs..No family has a perfect life OK...there are bound to be problems..If you say ur family is sooooo perfect with no bumps at all Good for You...OR Probably you are just lying...
Well put those worries aside. I went to Carls Jr, and finally got a decent burger..i havent eat it ..its still bside me waiting to be eaten for dinner. I wanted a famous star combo, the greedy me wanted to super star..HUh?No la not enuff..Portabello Mushroom burger...damn $11..EX...but american food what..this price one..thEN i DONNO why i Wus so DAMn BLUR...and it seems the counter girl wus trying to make me pay more..
"Single, Double or Triple?"
Clear minded me said "Single.."
"Do you want extra Bacons and Mushroom sauce"
"err...yes?"
"so that will be $13"
WTF!!!!!Damn ex la..so i showed her my proudly displayed NUS card...donno what stupid discount i got..in the end is $13..later i checked the receipt..extra $1.50 for the dumb bacons and mushroom sauce...damndamndamn...but nvrmind la come to think of it, its just $1.50 tho i can have a decent lunch in NUS d...bla....
Hope it will taste good..tho i heard its huge..so probably nid to work out now haha...
Well that sums the day. OH...yes my old passport photo sucks to the core(terrible face, winnie the pooh lousy t shirt) I imagine how wud PSA think!!!Yes, in life, image is very impt. I objected this view till i came to NUS...working is all about image..and later job performance..so i brought my top and blazer to Business School...(Yes my faculty) and took a passport photo at the photo machine..what to do so desperate..but photo machine quality sucks..and i purposely wear nice..do me hair..put on make up HAha..so it bcame like this..Before..After..
Before After

Tts all for nw
Toodles

First Day at Work/House Burgled

So today's the first day of my work as logistics intern. Got up at 7am works at 8.30am. Spent bout 10 minutes waiting for the free internal shuttle lo. Dress way toooo formal But still love it tho. But seriously, I had to stare at the computer during my work. I almost fell asleep zzzzzzZZZ...guess Im just tired. Sooo boring just key in data lei...then sked make mistake. But quite fun la. Got to sign some contracts blablabla, got my card so i Can get into the office. Got my own computer, stationeries, got own email account, computer account etc.Good thing is i finish my work at 5.15pm and my supervisor said its enough for the day. And my stupid comp just wont shut down so i turned off the power from the plugs to save trouble. Was doodling happily called home and told father bout my work.Then later my mum called just before dinner. Did u know what happen yesterday?? she said.I was FUCKINGLY shocked i tell u. FARKING burglars went through the back (Speaking of which, I wonder my VERy FARKING inconsiderate neighbours didn't even bother to help out or listen, or the burglars were just to quiet??), broke down the grilled door lock, removed the window glass pieces, and open the door from the inside with thEIR FUCKING hands.TADAh...so what they stole har:FARKING LAPTOP, which means MY sisters CANNOT Go ONLINE LO. So NO COMMUNICATIon NOW...FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK..K Im just angryThe whiskey or alcoholic stuff my parents bought in LAngkawi...FILTHy THIEVES...AND OF COURSE THE GOLD JEWELLERY and ALL...ARGh!!!!AND SING DOLLARS...WATCHES earrings...So there You have it. Ppls indecent act of stealing. Sometimes I wonder why People just LOVE to steal. Our family is sooo short of cash and assets. And yet u take over our very basic/essential needs. For example:I saw this calculator (Texas Instrument somore)lying at our pantry, (obviously someone doesnt want it), but I had no intention of stealing it. I just saw and try whether it still works. Last time someone left her hp in the pantry. I downright knew who the owner was, and she's so bitchly arrogant BUT STILL I returned her hp..I cud have take it and USE IT..Since i lost my damn hp at that time. FARKING THIEVES again..this Time in Singapore. Lucky i assumed that my Phone is "free". Coz i paid nth for that bludy new thing.BUt the fact is now so much of the jewellery AND LAPTOp...thats my concern..dun care they drink the FRUKing whiskey, coz they will die drinking it anyway. So i think insurance, alarm, strong grill door, renovation might help. BUt it will depend on my father lo..very grumpy la he anywayz. JUst hope no more mishaps this year PLSSSSSS...need good luckAND GOD BLESS MY FAMILY PLS...CURSE UR ASSES THIEVES...tell u...if i ever c u IM GONNA#$%%)^((!@#@)#($%



Signed,
Freaking pissed lady

I got frightened by the Phantom alright

Ah finally had enough energy to blog on my yesterday's outing and abit of todays.
Well we headed to Esplanade for Phantom of the Opera. Quited excited coz 1)I havent been to the Durian (Blame me for being ulu after 2 yrs in SG) 2) the show DUh!
Collected the tickets and do a bit of shopping. Did some window shopping and no sooner, had lunch at New York New York. We didn't have much choice tho, coz CityLink Mall is such a small place, not much eateries around, and mum doesnt fancy American/Western food. No pics to show coz this restaurant no website de.
By my mum's request, I ordered the BBQ Spare Ribs. She doesn't want it for herself but wants me to have it instead grrrr. She ordered Penne Aglio Olio with mushrooms. Being the greedy me, I ordered Roasted Mushroom Cappucino Soup. Sounds wierd rite??Being the greedy mum:P, she ordered a waffle with honey ice cream.
The spare ribs tasted like char siew la. Donno why is it called "american" food when the food's so oriental. Oh dear and the ribs were HUGE!(k la with quite alot of bones). Imagine big ppl like me cannot finish what more YOu!!! The soup wus...err..creamy??Wierd taste tho, coz there's cappucino with the froth and cocoa powder on top. Confirm lose to TGI's. Mum's waffle was good though although abit sweet (Honey ma). Waffle wus nice( the very big squared waffle not the semi-circle one). I like the honey and the ice cream too!!Total:$40 plus. Mum said "If we everyday it liddat pokkai loo" I wus like "Haiyah, today we quite greedy ler" She said "Yahor"

Then it was just time to head back to Esplanade to catch the show *Warning:long story below*
I got the restricted view tickets at $40 each, so you can predict how our seats were like. LouSY!I just have no idea how the heck did i chose the seats and pardon me coz i havent been to esplanade so i dun really have a good gage on the stage and all (BUt NOw i DO).
The balcony "restricts view" on the left side of the stage. So yea i couldnt watch what wus happening on the left side. I had to sit side ways lo, no leaning. So u can imagine the backache i had after 2.5 hours of the show. Programme booklet was $25 la. Ex..but I would love to have it tho,Din buy. Ok so the show started off with the auction scene, and when the ppl displayed the Chandelier (I cant remember whether it popped or smthing) and the Chandelier went right up with the orchestra playing. Really amazing man that chandelier. Although this is a musical, their singing is more towards to opera direction. NOtice that the female lead herself is a lyrical coloratura. I really love Brad Little as the phantom. He played Raoul when he started out and he's the phantom now. The Phantom needs this very loud and deep voice and of course, TECHNique la! The ladies:Christine and Carlotta were very operatic one lo. I think their highest note they hit was probably C or E. Carlotta tho good singing, disappoints me. When they start hitting their high notes then confirm cannot hear what lyrics they singing. When chrstine sings in her normal speaking range its ok. Then when she starts going to the high notes, using full vibrato then her lyrics will sound very muffled. This is really tricky but it's the amateur who is COMMENTING here. Raoul looks handsome guah (cant really see their faces from my view). BUt his voice cannot beat the Phantom's. BUt i guess its meant to be liddat coz Raoul's voice is supposed to be sweet. There were quite a few scenes where many people sing together: One is where they were questioning those whether those similar looking notes were from the Phantom (Raoul, Carlotta, Christine, the managers,etc) and the memorable one towards the end (Raoul, Phantom and Christine). Nice chords and all, BUT yet again disappointed, they somehow just sound muffled to my ears. Oh and did I mentioned i freaked out during certain scenes?Chicken me lo. I mean the Phantom is quite a dark musical, even u read the novel you will know that.
There were blank gun shots during a few scenes. Scared me la, poppop sound (That's why I'm afraid of balloons too). Then the Phantom will just appear out of nowhere scary la. And the best part wus the last scene. Got magic somore. the Phantom covers himself in the cape. And when Meg opened the cape he was gone.Magic hor.
Anywayz the sets were also amazing. One thing that intrigues my curiosity is how do they move the sets so swiftly and how are they built blablabla (I know technology la). Coz in hall they built by scratch looks..errr..nvm.then all manual one. The river scene in the undertunnel was nice la. They used loads of smoke.Guess the conductor smell so much for two months also will faint la. Then there's this bridge that leads to the undertunnel. Then the MIRROR-which has the phantom's image but he's not there. And it flips too. So freaking cool la. NOt to forget the chandelier. the phantom also hides at the back of the stone angel and SO MANY places. Ok shall stop now.Pictures...

The magnificent Chandelier.Notice the golden statues at the side

Interior of the theatre

These pictures weren't easy to come by as supposedly No PIctures were allowed in the theatre. There wus even a security check in Esplanade. They use sticks to check what's inside your bag. It's a good thing they have security, which i thought was totally LAME though. So during intermission i took some pictures la or not i wont have pictures to show. And these lady usherer came over "Excuse me, can you delete the photo that u have just took coz it will infringe copyrights" WTF!!!i took a few olredi, and i thought that was my last shot. Anywayz *evil grinz*, I pretend that i Wanted to delete but in the end i didn't. Dude or AUNTY or whatever, if you think stopping ppl from taking pictures due to COPYright will lead to less IP disputes, then go act on YOUTUBE first la BIatch. *K nvrmind just trying to act angry* And if the photos are going to be used for personal reasons, then I dun see the need for us NOT to take pictures. Unless we were going to sell the photos or whatever. Then later she went happily catching ppl who flipped their phones open. Like nothing better to liddat. Then I observed, every level got those usherers fixing their eyes on those like me. Then when the show resumed, the guy bside me kena too. she tot he taking photos but he said "BUt i didn't take photos". In summary, the whole balcony got saboed ler!!!So i think rite this usherers are downright stupid!!!Really STupid..Baka..blablabla..*End*
More info on the musical:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera_%281986_musical%29

Next up we went shopping la of course. Went to Marina Square see see looklook. Then later went orchard coz aunt said OG has a 20 percent storewide discount. It's a good thing i went there coz i bought a dress from Arthur Yen there. Nah show u. Dress cost $63 after discount. Considered quite reasonable. BUt Today at VivoCity they have dresses at $39 ok!!!Dang!!!

Me new dress. Pls say it's nice

So later I saw ISLand Creamery in Orchard, issit Centrepoint or smthing? Then I quickly dragged my mother, she was about to leave the shopping area. "Wey got teh tarik Ice-cream, the one i wanted you to try" Then we had ICE CREAM b4 dinner..(dun do this pls) Teh tarik and chendol.
Authentic flavours rite. And nevertheless, we had problems finishing our dinner. Teh Tarik and Chendol Ice Cream

Today, we went to VivoCity cum Harbourfront Centre. Went windowshopping, seriously starting to get sian with shopping. Had lunch at Sushi Tei with Mum's old friend. Chicken don, Oh the salmon so small lei, but was a nice restaurant, the ambience and all. The view is amazing la, overlooking Harbourfront. Keke you can see the sushi belt and the guy making them. My mum says their Sushi looks bigger than those at Don Sushi. argh and I had Macha ice cream.*Mum said too much ice-cream these days*

Yep I'm quite tired now. Going to do what I'm supposed to do in the next few days: Haircut, work preparation(hope it won't be too bad), Desaru trip with friends. Till then

toodles

Friday marked my freedom

27/04/07: I stayed up till 3am just to finish my chinese revision and past yr papers and woke up at 9am. Later I had to visit the doctor at NUH. Argh, I forgot to bring CASH!No money to EAT! so can taupau for me and my mum who's coming later. Blurdy doctor ask me to take blood test, and i thought i wus supposed to take it the next visit. I angrily thought to myself"u want me to pening my self b4 my 2.30pm paper meh?". it took blurdy long b4 i got back to Hall at 2pm and my mum was already waiting for me.Passed her the keys and went for my exam.
Dang the exam was damn hard la dude!The susun ayat part ah...KILLER..anywayz wus so happy when the thing's over. Went and had subway with mum since we all din have lunch.
Met up with aunt and family for dinner at IMM. Dinner sucked-Can u imagine pan mian cooked halal?The pan mian (or rather, mee hoon kuay) were like in lumps, good MHK don't stick together. Later went shopping, donno spend how much. Two skirts, two pairs of contact lenses, and a pair of shoe. Speaking of contact lenses, the optometrist checked my power, it wus 4 yrs since i changed my specs. So, my right eye had a 50 increase in power. Left eye 100 increase.WTF???When i always change to a new set of specs then few years it will increase. So i rather not change it..so after four years it will stay the same.
Ok might be a stupid plan but STILL...
Very tired.Altho exam's over, i slept for like 6 hrs a day. So many things to do, so little time. Dun even have time to blog also.

Shall reserve the good stuff tmr:Phantom of the Opera, Orchard spree, more Island Creamery haha

Toodles

PS:I needed tonnes of support lei. Know my blogging skills not so good. But keep the comments coming.:)

Yesterday's trip

Yesterday(Friday ler), me and Hui En went to BTC law library to Study. I woke up earlier than my usual wake up time and we left at about nine. Ok, the real reason for me going there is to err..look at the beautiful campus AND have some ISLAND CREAMERY ICE CREAM. More on that later:P

I thought I cud catch some sleep on the bus but apparently the bus was so fast (like 15 minutes) and tadah, we were in BTC olredi. I realli love the buildings, looks colonial, like heritage buildings when the British was here. I guess it was there since their colonial rule haha. Just that the buildings were given new douse of paint, better architectural design, abit of touch up and fixing..a BEAUTIFUl CAMPUS. I thought I would sulk coz at first BUsiness and Law were to move together to the new BTC. BUt after that, they decided the only LAW will move there. There's a really big field in between buildings, used to be a soccer field. Back in those days where SMU and NTU had BTC as their uni campus, i think that served as a sports field.
It's really so quiet and comfy, but boo I didn't snap any pics.
You shud go take a look at their seminar rooms: the exterior, nostalgic interior so modern.
But the law library not as good as old one la..plus i dun like the chairs..so not comfy
The food there...SOSO..i went for the makansutra stall, apparently they were on Channel U b4 and serve BeefBall Kuay Teow and the like. I really love the beef balls, but consider overall not very good la..sososo..Variety of Food also very limited, chicken rice stall, chai fan, and this noodle stall plus drinks..BOORING rite?
Anywayz, I wasn't doing much studying that day. I'm just so bored circulating the same topic APB, i really think reading further won't help cuz its an open book exam. We're supposed to think on the spot.
The highlight of the day:ISLAND CREAMERY got me really excited. Feel so bad for pulling Hui-En into eating ice cream with me b4 dinner(and that definitely spoiled our appetite during dinner haha). I was quite shocked to see that the parlour was damn FULL. All the JC kids having secondary school reunions according to Hui En. We got the TEH TARIk Ice cream and HOrlicks Ice cream. The TEh Tarik ice cream is their signature flavour-and this was the one that wanted me coming to try. Where else can you get Teh Tarik dude? the Horlicks was well, HOrlicks la nothing special, but its interesting. Teh Tarik really has this strong Teh plus Condensed Milk taste in it, every bit ur Teh Tarik drink made into an ice cream.
Hui-En said it was equivalent to going to Mamak, but in ice cream portions lol. Besides, they also have burnt caramel(funny name), black forest(ooh i wanna try), soursop(hui-en's nxt trip flavour), nutella, reversO(chocolate with oreo bits) and many more la.
I heard they even had TIGER BEER sorbet which was only available during NDP. BUt i dun fret not having it coz i dun take alcohol. Ohoh i forgot they also have PULUT HITAm flavoured ice cream, but i dun recall seeing it yesterday.
Single Scoop$2.50;Double Scoop$4.00;One tub$8
If you want to share with ur fren get the Double Scoop (Duh!) and i think the Tub is really worth it. I donno how many ml's the tub but i cant imagine only having four scoops in that tub considering two scoops is $4.
I'm so determined to bring my Momma when she comes next week so she can have a taste of Teh Tarik Ice Cream.

Ok back to study mode. bored to the max.

Next trip: Botak Jones, Deep Fried Mars bar at Chippys plus THREE MONTh INTENSIVE WORK OUT to burn those unwanted calories:)
