So what if she's strong? Does it mean that because she's stronger she'll have to accept all the injustice? that she'll have to put up with the unfair treatment and decision u made? She's strong but it doesn't mean she won't get hurt, it doesn't mean she has to be hurt. Being able to take it doesn't mean she has to take it...

When me n my bro are alone at home again...I thought I tou yun...haha He thought he had too much coffe haha! only to realise it's not when he realised the towel in toilet was shaking (yah he was in the toilet) and I heard the lil chyme on my fridge clinking continuously....

Sly-ia

First must complain I got bruises from cleaning e floor during rehearsals today! See how bad my director is.... Shh dun tell him! haha

Anyway saw Sly and Maia today, with her kid. They were taking a rest at some eatery and Sly was like sooo busy packing this and that while Maia was happily tucking into her food. He had his shades on while she was e usual hot Maia with halter neck that bears from below her chest(to her pants of cos). I see them as a compatible couple. I mean why not? He's cute, she's hot. Otherwise u c them as the ah lian with the ah beng. I have nothing against or for them. Many ple see Sly as the wimp, to annul the marriage but well he's after all dating a gal who has a kid. Can u and are u willing to take up such a responsibilty, esp when there's bound to be intense pressure ard u? Maintaining a relationship isn't easy, what's more with a kid in the picture. So u prolly cant criticize him on that. And yah I actually admire Maia alot. She's one cool chick who really have a mind of her own. Many ple may dislike her or even despise her. But like what she said, she leads her own live and how do u actually define rebellious? And I agree, some ple prolly dislike her cos she has done what they had secretly wished they could do but cannot and will not do for their entire lives.

I actually heard that they are ard when i happen to pass by this stall with the aunties exclaiming to one another that Sly's just there. Not oni is he a teenage killer(yah those crazy lil gals), auntie killer he too is.

The Racer

It has been awhile since i last watched the rain from behind the window panes. Plugging into my ipod shuffle, watching the rain and ple in the rain, thinking of stuff(or rather not thinking);it was a nice feeling, one I almost forgot.

It started pouring heavily when i was on the highway. I saw how one motorcyclist had stopped by the emergency lane, putting on his waterproof jacket and pants(yah believe it pants as well) slowly and carefully as the rain got heavier. And how other motorcyclists had parked under the bridges or shelters cos they didnt have any preparations for wet weather. I suddenly remembered how my biker friends exclaimed how much they love riding on their bikes, how they are more of a biker than a driver(of cars). Aww they must really hate the rain! N yah I do agree that bikers hv "the biker look" though. 2 bangladeshi workers were sitting at the back of the lorry. With no shelter above them, they were totally drenched, laughing at their own plight. I kinda pity them, tt's the kind of treatment different people get with their different status.

When was the last time u had time for yourself? When was the last time u spent time with u and yourself? From reading a book, to taking a stroll, even to watching a movie. There are so many things we can do alone but we are so used to having company that we are now handicapped. We just feel weird about being alone and we cannot do anything alone. We need company for everything. The work, the pressure, the pace of life has caught us up and sometimes we plan our time so well among everyone and everything that we forgot what we left out on the list was actually ourselves. Regardless of how closely knitted u are to ur frens, ur family and even ur lovers, u need time to ur own. Sadly, many atimes lovers don't c this pt.

After all it's ur own time to manage, it's ur own life to lead. But there's gotta be a balance somewhere. There's gotta be a balance to everything....

The Passion

Today was the first rehearsal i had after my public performance in 2003. Wasn't really much of a rehearsal anyways. We were actually going thru the lines and discussing how we felt abt e script and how it can be improved. Didn't give much idea cos it was the first time reading the script and cant digest/absorb much. And I think i lost touch as well. I guessed the director had wanted an element of surprise tt's y he gave us the script only today. I was trying to read the script carefully paying more attention on the words and flow of sentence, rather than throwing emotions into it. Realised my standard of chinese had dropped. Couldn't read some words and was slow in recognising some. But my director didn't point out that I had to brush up on my chinese haha so i guess it was still passable...

This is jus the first version of the script. My role had been changed a lil. But I din feel too strongly for my character cos she's not tt outstanding. Was abit disappointed w e role but this play is more towards hmmm how do u say... feelings? I dunno how to translate the cheena drama terms here. It's like something u wud feel for rather than jus watching and laughing it off... I was actually aniticipating a more lively and vibrant play to be casted in. Cos i think all my drama life, i had like only acted in one comedy, which wasn't really a comedy actually was abit lame haha and it was only a 10 or 15 min show. What we call "xiao pin". The other alumni play wud be something closer to what I had hoped for. I dunno but maybe I have been stereotyped as an actress who acts in such show haha. Wasn't given a chance to prove my "xi gan". And well I felt I haven had my breakthrough yet, none of the roles i had was accredited. And I know this role isn't either. Sad to say but this will prolly be the last time i will be involved in a production as an actress since i will be too busy to cope with the rehearsal schedule once i start working, unless i decide to do freelance theatre performance. And also cos a sch production is unlikely in the coming yrs. But well the alumni has plans to put up a solely alumni show in 2007, so we'll see abt tt.

The only reason I had agreed to be involved in the production was the passion for acting, or performance. Both applies here. I love the stage. I like to perform with the attention of the audience. It gives me a sense of satisfaction. Jus like anyone of u would feel when u accomplish something that u r passionate about. But of cos it only applies if I had performed well. I know I would feel sad when the performances are over and i would miss rehearsals but for now it's not tt excitable yet. Looking at the rehearsal schedule, i'm starting to worry about having no time for myself, to go on a break or get away before stepping into the corporate world. There are actually free slots but I'm just afraid it's hard to fit the timing.

Well actually had a lil gossip session abt e students and teachers over dinner at 85 mkt with my fellow production friends. Haha rather fun!! Talked for like 2 hrs plus i think... Drama ple owas do tt! haha dunno y... Thou not much feelings abt e role yet, i'm pretty excited abt singing in e play haha. N this song i'll be singing will be specially penned for my role. Wow! a song for myself! My own song! haha really looking forward. But i'm not abt to reveal what my role is exactly. Think my director will kill me if i did! haha Anyways there'll be 3 performances in all, in July. Used to be only 2 in e past years. So dun give me excuses that u cant make it! haha See you there!

Back! W much to share...

Dear Dear I'm finally back! haha N u noe i'm definitely gonna write on my trip to GuangZhou... haha ok so here it goes..

Went for a week and it's a nice relaxing trip thou i went sightseeing and shopped and ate alot! The weather was damn cold thou it was spring! It was cool on e 1st 3 days... Dun even need to wear long sleeve... was ard 10 odd degrees... But on e 4th day e weather turned bitter! drop to ard 7 or lower...and it rained so heavily with e strong gust of wind blowing we were freezing! we weren't prepared for such bitter weather but we managed to shop haha nx few days was ard 5-7 degrees.. *Brrr* Well to add, everyone in guangzhou speaks cantonese, since it's so near to HK. ple in guangzhou like to go HK over e wkend thou they hv so much of shopping themselves! So i try to converse in cantonese when i go shopping haha. k la stil can handle lol. But they do speak mandarin as their second lang so they hv no prob understding u. i kpt on blabbbering in my broken cantonese to my dad. haha he was so annoyed and amused! Every morn we wake up not too early... den out we go til dinner time 7 or 8pm n we'll hv dinner n back to e hotel, it was drinking n enjoying music at e lounge haha.

It's been sometime since i took e early noon flight... cant rem when was e last time i took a noon flight, i can rem e dawn n night flights better haha. so this time rd, in e plane can c e clouds again... Beautiful view. Oh n i managed to catch e movie Ray on e plane!! Save my money on e movie haha They were showing Sideways too so i decided to watch on e return trip. But arghhh e return plane doesnt show Sideways! Heng my bro bot e dvd der haha. Watched Bridget Jones II, a movie I had wanted to catch but didn't... So my aunt came to fetch us with her hotel mini van when we arrived. the reason we choose to go Guangzhou instead of Shanghai was cos e latter was more ex and was colder! N anyways my parents had been to Shanghai with my cousin n in law. They left us for shanghai for 2 entire wks! And well oso cos my aunt was working at e hotel. So e hotel expenses wud be cheaper. We knew she was holding a rather high post for she had been working at the Holiday Inn hotels in diff parts of China for e past 10 yrs... But we din noe she was such a BIG shot! ermz not until we saw her designation at e hotel lobby... Marilyn Tay, Director of Finance and Business Associates. So every thing we spent in e hotel was at a 50% rate. And she call e shots. Food not nice, add extra bed bring more pillows etc etc e services were immediate haha. Enuf said.

So on e very 1st day we reached ard late noon and my aunt asked her secretary to bring us to shop a lil... din buy much except for a pair of shades.. 1st day mah... haven got e momentum yet haha but i did try a bowl of those pig internals fr e rdside stall... damn nice! sizzling hot! haha yah i'm not afraid to try stalls at e rdside in fact i think der food taste great! lol So after tt we went for dinner at this jap restaurant. Damn ex 200+ bucks but tt's wat jap food usu cost...

Ok so 2nd n 3rd day we went sight seeing. U'll c e pix i post in my blog... went to some temples, bai yun shan n visit this buddha structure at e top of a mountain too and also to Fo Shan. Yah tt's where Huang Fei Hong lives fyi. Arghh i'm disappointed! From his sculpture and drawing, he's botak, big sized and ermz dun look good... how can he be agile with this size? A far cry fr e yandao actors who in his movies... lol mayb Zhao wen zhuo left too deep an impression.... Oh and all e temples r indeed vvvv big! Looks small fr e outside, but it's so big inside i dun think we ever covered e whole temple...There were so many beggars along e streets outside these plcs of interest, with some scribbles of how pitiful they r on the floor... Some of them even left their toddlers along e streets to beg, out in this cold weather... I bet the parent must be hiding somewhere, just making use of their children to gain sympathy. Many also had deformed bone structures, amputated arms n feets. Heard fr my aunt tt these ple r mostly fr some syndicates whereby they were kidnapped when young n was abused or tortured to become handicapped and made beggars. Once u gave to e first beggar on e street, e rest will noe somehow and as u walk past they'll come up to u to beg...

Day 4 and 5 was shopping shopping shopping!!! haha like i've said it was damn cold! so I bot a thick jacket once i reached. They hv like a huge plc with all shops along a few stretches and u jus shop from e 1st to e last shop!! N e stuff der r quite nice, trendy. Dun think cheena ple all ah lao lah... e ple der dress til quite hip and hehe der r quite a few cute funky guys haha. Oh e stuff r soooo cheap!! esp e shoes!! like oni 10 sing dollars per pair! So i bot 3 pairs! haha too lil rite? but almost couldnt fit my lugguage... My bro bot 4! e rest bot at least one or 2 pairs. they sell lotsa boots too cos it's cold. N there's so many pepsi stuff ard, a pavillon made of pepsi cans with e artistes face on dem and pepsi stalls and they even hv pepsi sports selling sportswear!!! There r so many diff clothes label like those of S&K pattern endorsed by many different artistes like Jay, Vaness etc etc. These labels u nv c in s'pore...and there r many HK actors who endorse e labels oni sold in e shopping malls.... Realli alot! Oh e CDs and DVDs r soooo cheap! I bot Leehom and Kenji's cd, tension's vcd and my bro n cousin bot alot of albums n DVDs too!! including Sideways(e one i missed on e plane) Million dollar baby n more! haha So i'll tell u my zhan li pin... From head to bottom(for myself oni)... I bot a pair of shades, a mascara, a jacket, a top from Meteor/Bonwe(endorse by Jay), a belt, 2 pairs of bottoms and 3 pairs of shoes... Dun sound alot lah actuali... nx time mus bring bigger lugguage or extra baggage liaoz...I'm gonna go da cai gou in summer! hahaha

Yup and on e last nite, I was dragged on stage to sing at e lounge by e singers haha my bro had performed before me and i jus came down fr my bath in my room. haha sang 2 chinese songs the Fillipino singer chose for me.

So on e last day we din hv much time e flight's at 320pm.. so we did some last min shoppin near e hotel, buy foodstuff for relatives/frens... I kinda miss my aunt... after all she's my fav koh koh(tt's gu gu in teochew) and i dun spend much time w her... this is e 1st time i spend almost one wk w her... she's so farnie! haha thx for taking 2 days off to entertain us! Like u said, we entertained u too! haha

Did I mention i went for foot reflexology? This one isn't painful...My mum says e one at Batam is e one tt will make u yell... But my feet feels very smooth! haha
And I forgot to add that we ate alot!! Every meal at e restaurants... quite cheap considering so many ple, 100 plus only some were even cheaper but we ate alot of gd food haha n i think i put on some weight... BUt i oso tried e Mac der(in between meals haha) they hv diff types of burgers just like mac in diff parts of e world offer diff burgers... and i tried those stalls which sells like sotong, maize drumsticks etc etc on satay sticks... much like e pasah malam in s'pore... Hmm these food makes me think of Taiwan!!! I wanna go TW!! and yah somehow e streets of Guangzhou reminds me of Japan.... I swear I'm gonna visit Japan again!! I miss Japan!!

wow tt's quite alot from me...took me almost an hr to write this post... Will add wateva i miss haha i'll post some pix on my blog but for more pix pls visit my photo album! e link's provided on e right...

Career Talk

Yup, more on career talk. So i've been to the Career Fair, bought a career guide book and looked up the gov sites. Definitely, they have helped to inform me abt greater career options but then again, tt doesnt mean there are vacancies for these jobs.But I did come across some which I think are not bad. So i've been thinking and planning for my change in status. As I browse through the female magazines, I feel i'm beginning to pay more attention on the fashion wear and accessories for the working classes. I have a feeling a large part of my monthly salary will be exchanged for what u c on me and what i carry a few months later. But then even before I draw my first salary, I'll have to spend on the clothes for interviews and the first month of work. Not forgetting cosmetic and skincare products. Before u call me a bimbo, u'll have to understand that make up is basic courtesy. Looks may be born but u can definitely try to make urself look more presentable and pleasant. And with the layer of cosmetic on you for the whole day, u'll definitely have to seek help from the skincare products. Well if i can afford SKII i definitely dun mind gettin tt, cos it would mean that I earn alot! I feel ple turn materialistic when they start to work, esp gals. And I c myself along tt track... arghh bad bad. Ok enuf of Girl talk.

Back to career talk. Actually recently, i've been picturing myself in an executive suit, preparing myself mentally as a working adult. Haha I'm actually rather excited about steppin into this new world, facing new challenges and taking on a new role in life. Yet at the same time, I dread it. It's not abt adapting a new environment or forging new relationships. I'm a person who can adapt well and i welcome new things, it's the thought of the mundane life and the office politics/making use of one another/stepping on one another, all this hidden agenda that stops me from embracing this new role wholeheartedly. After all, this is a role that I have to take up for the next half of my life. I've told my friends who will stil be schooling that they'll prolly feel v young if they meet me for lunch or dinner on wkdays, while i'll feel the opposite cos i'll be donning my working clothes.

Well I definitely hope my job will be interesting and of cos i hope to earn big bucks while not slogging myself. I dun wanna sell myself to the company. I really hope I'll love what I'm doing and i hope to learn things. I've already been told by friends that I should pay for the meals and booze once I start working. Yes the guys! who wish to live off working ladies! Yah i'm referring to u YK haha. n DW. Wish me luck in job hunting k? I wun mind treating if i'm blessed with a good job which earns me big bucks. =D

Getting Closer...

Men want to know the truth. When they are told the truth, they cannot accept it is the truth.
-- message from Closer

This was one of the messages i got after watching Closer today. Yes finally! after a long wait... It's a rather slow movie i mean it's not long but slow.... But it realli sets u thinking abt man and woman and abt relationships. Ok so back to tt msg. My fren who went with me told me this. So it's sthg like they want to noe, yet dun wanna noe.. confusing huh. They already know it is the truth but they just cannot come to terms with it. But they stil wanna noe it! Tell them e truth and they wud rather u lie. Hide the truth and only to be called a liar later.


And he also has to agree tt guys, unlike gals are usually less guilt ridden and can carry on w life as if nothing had happened when they hv done sthg wrong in a relationship.

No comments on tt. U guys noe urself best...
