Sunset

It's so delicate!! Just tints of red in the big blue sky...

So Funny!!

I've been watching a J-drama intro-ed by Zak called Kekkon Dekinai Otoko about this architect who cannot get married...it's so funny!!! He is a loner, and he likes to do things alone, and he is very, very eccentric. His smile makes babies cry. He knows a lot about things which don't matter.

So funny!! And he likes classical music and meat. Lots and lots of red meat and milk.

I can relate wahahahaa...

Oh, and he looks like Tsuto!!! Not as good looking, though...hahaha...but he's awfully tall...

Ohh, he must marry the doctor!! Not the young thing!! (Geesh, I wasted 9 hours on this thing already...)

Oh no!! What a love triangle!!

Argh!! The IDIOT!!!

Finally!! YAY!! They kind of ended up together haha...sigh, okay, back to work-o!!

I can imagine him saying: Kaneda...LOL

If I Could See You Again

Okay, this is a very strange sounding blog title! Well, there are some people whom I would love to see again, but that's not the point haha.

YIRUMA is the point. LOL, I'm addicted to his songs!! They are perfect study songs. I can have it going on and on in the background and study very well, when even Buble would distract me.

I am thinking of getting an ipod. Should I? I am loath to spend so much on a single object, but I should treat myself for my birthday, no? Haih. I dunno. I don't really NEED one. Too bad I still can't afford a DSLR. Still, I probably won't get one. Years of thrifty spending won't turn me into a sudden big spender overnight. I can go out with a large amount of cash and buy absolutely nothing. I don't know if this is a good thing. Hey, do you know that consumer spending HELPS the economy? So it is good to spend. If everyone is thrifty and don't spend unless necessary our economy will collapse. I'm not sure how it works, but I think it's logical. Thankfully this won't ever happen, not when there are ladies around haha.

Speaking of cash, I am now a Scale Bar-iste!! Only I deal with toner rather than coffee beans lol. 8 dollars an hour isn't bad, and I only work two hours a week. Pays off my weekly meals just nicely. Not bad, not bad at all. And Scale Bar is just 10 feet away from my studio lol.

I HAVE to write about concert...

A wonderful performance this year, as always. The plot was really good, kept me on my toes wondering who killed Alfred Black. There seems to be more major roles this year compared to last, and quite a bit of good acting, especially by the lawyer (he has to be the most bombastic character I have ever seen (reminds me of the Brain in Pinky and the Brain)) but it was really in character, somehow. Each actor put a bit of themselves into the character, so I am a bit worried for the butler, lol. But the 'love' scene between Housekeeper Plumley and the butler was one of the funniest scenes I ever sat through...and their love for dancing kind of sent shivers down my spine, it's just scary. Rather perverted.

The singing was okay, but not quite as nice as last (Eheheemmm). Sets were good (some were just HUGE) though I realize there could be a little more things done (Sets is a whole new world of designing, come to think of it, it's more like creating little toys that you can mix and match and reuse and put together. A fascinating field of design) but it was quite effective throughout. I wish the billiard table was cleaner and more posh looking, though. Hm, if the sets looked posher the whole show would have come through even better. Still, sets were better than last year's, I think. But that's just my opinion.

The songs? Well, truth is I couldn't hear some of the lyrics especially those sung by the guys (why?) we need another Akash. Anyway, some of the girls had nice enough voices, I guess. The lawyer sung quite well, and all his words were articulated very well. He had to be the best actor in the whole play. He's made for stage. I think that bombastic acting doesn't go for movies, but I think he can adapt. I must get his autograph, lol.

The whole thing was very interesting and I liked the feel of it because I LOVE AGATHA CHRISTIE!!! And somehow there was an Agatha Christie feel throughout. And I loved the Roald Dahl touch with the lamb shoulder. That was one of Dahl's twisted stories. Macabre. LOL, I wonder who thought of it.

I think the script was simply amazing. If the actors were professional, and there was a huge budget for the sets...then I have a feeling that this show could be commercialized. It was THAT good. Something like the Mousetrap.

I guess it's just that I miss Agatha Christie.

The biscuit scene. LOL.

I can't say which song I liked best in this one, I rather liked the one between Aidan and Gabrielle, call me a bit silly, but then I liked it. Shy Aidan and Flashy Scarlett. I always liked those scenes in Agatha Christie. Oh yeah, it was super funny when Aidan asked Scarlett: How is love? Or something of the kind...and then Chun Heng said: Love is hungry...cos Luv was sitting next to him...LOL

I felt that the thing has potential to be great, and what better praise can it be for a musical produced and acted by non-professional actors? :D

Oh and PUB, PUB WAS SUPERB. Could be improved upon, perhaps if they had a larger budget, but then what they did come up with was absolutely duperly amazing. :D :D :D IMPRESSIVE.

Well, just my thoughts on the matter!!! :)

Aha!! If any of you have noticed, my profile pic has changed...it's the fairy tale-est dress I have ever seen!!!!

Ooo, and also, if you've noticed, there is a little picture at the side of the blog below my profile, and that is where I post my latest drawings, paintings etc etc hahaha...this horse was drawn in 3 minutes flat, so that's why it's called the three minute horse. :D

Apt Pic

Pic by JM because I didn't want to get one of myself...but not bad sia...this can be my motto for the rest of my life: Don't look at me, look at my Bible!! :D

Never mind! It's been a lovely day...I was going to write a cynical post on spending my 21st bday at the Botanical Gardens (beautiful, though, in the early morning) (it's in one of my journals, maybe I should publish it, it's really cynical. Haha) and I have to produce a design by tmr so I better work on it. :D Thanks everyone!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

How nice, my studio got a little cake for me and celebrated my birthday for me too...was it PS' idea? Haha...thanks guys. Thanks Jia Hui for letting our group go first, groups who go first get to leave earlier, and get better ideas from Patrick cos Patrick isn't tired and hungry by then (One thing to note is if you want your tutor to stay alert and have full attention on your work, you better get him food and drink lol)...

Thanks Gail for arranging my birthday celebs for me!! It isn't easy to organize these things haha. :D And the going around shopping for ME really makes me feel so blessed and cared for and loved (don't really have to do that one) and thanks so much to all the people who were involved, Shereen and Thierry who weren't there, Wing Mei, Piang Piang for inviting the float team (glad for you guys) and them making time to come...thanks thanks!!

And everyone got one bite except for Kling because she had a stomachache from laughing too much, I think :D Well, thanks so much campus group for all your kindness!!!! :D

Yiruma

Lovely music, his. Times like this I wish I could play. :( I've tried, but it doesn't work out. I have no ear for timing. I love playing, of course, but it doesn't come out very nice.

Maybe if I practice very, very hard.

Maybe


One of my favourites. :D So, hopeful, isn't it? Remember last time I wrote about music I loved? This pianist will always have his songs there. Music is so beautiful!! They really tug at the heart. And music can always move me, and change my view of life. So glad God created so many senses so that we can enjoy so many things!!

Ode to a Nightingale

Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.

Random

Haha, PX, LR, HY and I stayed up three nights to do the model and the sunpath lol...the trees are cool right, the shadows actually look like trees!! Hahahhaha...

Priorities

Sometimes I wonder what my priorities are. I think it's beginning to skew badly in the wrong direction. My studies are important, but then there are things that I should do too.

I, me and myself. That's all that seems to be important to me.

I'm glad for Albert korkor's post on CEFC's "kindness team" where CEFC Youth go out and help a family in need. Way to go Pastor Noah, if that is one of the activities he suggested. It's back to earth. Quit the intellectual discussion of things we never do. Go out and do things. I wish I were back there.

Singapore is a rotten place. That is how I feel NOW. Haha, don't take it personally.

I guess the system is such that it causes 'jungle' mentality, 'dog eat dog', 'survival of the fittest' etc. I find a lot of Singaporean kids have too much of a good thing, so they are kind of disconnected from reality. They don't understand how it is to be poor. But then I don't either, so I can't say very much.

GAH.

Haha, just come back from the Botanic Gardens. I WANT A DSLR!!! I borrowed LiRan's DSLR for the day, and he's right: once you get used to the DSLR, your little camera seems like a toy, a poor imitation. I want one want one want one!! I like photography. Sure be nice to make a living traveling and taking photographs for National Geographic huh...I wish I had the talent though. It may come with practice... Though sometimes you can take a thousand photos and only one will make it.

Okay, enough already. got work to do.
