GIRL-INTERRUPTED

I'm BACK!!!!!

2009-09-16T10:32:00.002+08:00

Okay so I've taken a long hiatus from blogging!!!
Sorry!!!
Now I've got soooooo much time today, mainly because I had my WISDOMS out-YIKES!
Where do i start??

1)I've been Religiously watching the F1, when I am at home! Last week in Italy was a nail biter and an absolute shame Lewis crashed out on the last lap, that means F1 in SINGAPORE in 2 weeks!!!
Woohooooo!!!!! I think this year it'll be watching the whole race from a hotel room with dinner included, drinks etc! A totally different experience all round! Last year was amazing, and I think no better way to experience for the first time in S'pore in the Paddocks! this year will be chilled and less hectic, but maybe a probability i will be working during the F1-so fingers crossed!!

2) Wisdoms- I finally made a choice to get my wisdom's removed. I have a bad history with dentists! Stick 200 needles in me at the same time ANY DAY! Teeth and gums -
LEAVE me out of it! When I mean Phobia, its worse than that!
I absolutely FREEZE up in the chair and have panic attacks. So i made a conscious decision to get my worst fears! I made an appointment at Alexandra Hospital and 2 months later= yesterday, I went in, had my drip attached, got the lovely white stuff to knock me out and got all 4 wisdom's pulled and crack!

What I don't understand is WHY would ANYONE Keep your teeth!! I got 6 pieces back in a tiny in a lil container-FLESH and all! Friends are like keep it and clean it!!! BLeh!
Well I woke from surgery and got wheeled into the day ward and was giggly for a bit, but was made to change cloth gauzes in my mouth every half hour for about 2 hours. Idrifted off to sleep but I woke up panicking for some reason and CRYING! What a BABY!!! I felt claustrophobic and insisted to walk outside for a bit but they didn't allow me those Swines!!!meh! But they were doing their Job!
thank goodness though- I woke up this morning and was expecting to see massive swelling-but its a rather pathetic attempt on my faces' attempt to SWELL! But great for me! And i guess great for people around me!! hahaha they can get a rest from my constant nattering about random nonsense!!!!

okay gotta run

PS look out for my VIP magazine this months issue for October!!!

Remember to Smile

2009-07-08T15:44:00.005+08:00

I still can't believe he's gone.
I stayed up till 4am to watch the entire ceremony at staples center.
I think the most heartfelt and captivating performance was by Stevie Wonder when he sang,
"Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer."
Real grief was seen and felt when he said it was a moment he wished that he didn't live to see come.

Other Powerful words by Rev Al Sharpton which resonated through out the performance hall:
"There was nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with, but he dealt with it." (skip to 5:20)

I think he spoke for all of us for what we couldn't put into words!

Rest in Peace.
Remember to Smile.

Smile
tho'your heart is aching,
Smile
Even though it's breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky- You'll get by,
If you Smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through- For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide ev'ry trace of sadness,
Altho' a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile- What's the use of crying,
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

At the Zoo - Simon & Garfunkel

2009-07-05T19:45:00.003+08:00

Someone told me
Its all happening at the zoo.

I do believe it,
I do believe its true.

Its a light and tumble journey
From the east side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.

But you can take the crosstown bus
If its raining or its cold,
And the animals will love it
If you do.

Somethin tells me
Its all happening at the zoo.

The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
Theyre dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.

Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! you gotta come and see
At the zoo.

I Do Believe it's True, Only at the Zoo!

2009-07-05T19:10:00.006+08:00

Yesterday was a well spent Saturday, gallivanting off to the Zoological Gardens on Mandai Road!
i spent a good 3 hours there and I can't wait to head back again! I haven't been there since i was like 12 when I first came to S'pore. The only thing I remember was some theatre and it had baby animals preserved in glass jars-charming!

It was s flip between the Butterfly Park on Sentosa and the Zoo. Of course only one song came to mind and it was from an old audio tape my parents used to play- Simon and Garfunkel way back in the 80's, but the song is from 1967 or 1968 called "At the Zoo."

Here's a couple of pictures from that day, in which I only snapped some from my BB. I'll post up the lyrics and song in the next post! the lyrics are so catchy, I only wish more people grew up listening to them!

The BEST Cheap Jeans in Town

2009-07-04T00:21:00.004+08:00

I found my new favourite off the shelf inexpensive jeans.
I've never been able to wear random branded jeans that cost less than $50 bucks.
I've seen some amazing looking ones like at Queensway, Chinatown etc.
Problem is I don't exactly have the Asian body in total, I've got a proper ass,
so even if i can fit into the local asian jean sizes, it's usually tight in the derriere!

That has forced me to wear better cut jeans with shape, such as Miss Sixty, Miss Me etc..
which are roughly S$300-S$500.

One day though, 3 years ago, I saw a dancer friend wear a pair of amazing jeans with a big Yellow button.I tried it on once and bought it in about 3.47 seconds.
Where???
PULL & BEAR

I wish I had bought 2 of them at the time, becuase I never did find another comfortable well cut pair of jeans again, until I went back into their stores 2 weeks back and bought my first white pair of jeans for $70 and even better still 3 days ago,
in their sales, $39.90 caught my attention!!!
YES the sale is still on!!!!

I just went straight to the rack , picked out a light blue faded denim pair, size 26 and bought them on the spot. No need for fuss and fiddling around,
waiting 15 minutes to get into the waiting room.

I knew straight away that the cut was so good,
(hailing frm Spain and trust me , some Europeans do have some ass on them)
that I didn't hesitate. I had to share it because for you other ladies with a little bit of curve to your body, and you can't fit into the straight cut boy fitting, mid range Levi's , don't BOTHER!!!
PULL AND BEAR!!!!!!
TRUST ME!

I would have bought more under the SICKO19 jeans range,
but it was a sale and the size 26's were lacking in numbers:(

So if you need a quick fix for your wardrobe to match something
and you need cheap jeansand $70(the non-sale price) is within your range, go GET em!!!!!!!

P.S. the pockets and cut makes your ass look proportionate and smaller!!!!
How I don't know but a bloody god send!

Day 5: Love affair in Ho chi Minh

2009-07-03T00:05:00.006+08:00

Breakfast at 6.30am-favouritist thing in the world- buffet beakfasts! YUM!
8.30 am , at the airport and checking in to the chaotic whirlpool of people, pushing, shoving
and cutting queues which seemed the norm of life there!

We get on the plane and fly to Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon
where we have 4 hours to weave in and out of
the rubber chords of the linked up city!
Choy had friends from the city so we had a nice river side lunch at a restaurant called The Deck!
After spending an hour to get there, and 45 minutes or so over lunch we decided to leave to grab our luggage at her friends place and we made our way back to the airport, where i got hit by a taxi by the way trying to squeeze by i kicked his van!!!

Triple indicator!

Lost amongst work!

By the river with pineapple juice & plus sized fries!

Finally we were on our way home after our whirlwind travels to and fro from beautiful Vietnam!
I absolutely can't wait to go back again and go soo some war time memorials, tunnels etc! I'd definitely recommend Vietnam's quieter resorts liek Hoi An for perfect beaches and blissfully unpopulated seas...

Vietnam Day 4: Tick tock tick Tock

2009-07-01T21:09:00.009+08:00

After having dinner at 8pm, we got word that we were to rise and shine
for hair and makeup at 3.30am! YoUZaH!!!
We needed to get as much sunlight as possible for the whole day filming
as we were to fly of the next day early in the morning!
As sun rose at 5.30am, we had to be ready so we could film till 5.30pm!
It was a long, hot day, but we made it through, thought at times it actually felt
like 5 pm when it was only 9am because we had been up all morning!!!

Breakfast we sat by the beach and sun-rise was absolutely mesmerising,
while munching down on our prepacked hotel breakfast!

On set 5.30am!

Private unused beach belonging to unopened resort!!!

Feet friends!

sundown at 5pm!!!!

The long day finally drew to a close for filming and i was feeling pretty lazy to head out for dinner but i managed to drag my ass out to the Lantern Festival in Hoi An Town and it was
bustling with life! We were so hungry we let the crew go ahead to walk around and we ate for about an hour and a half, at some road side stall, lit by a handful of lamps, making the surroundings and our dinner all the more sumptuous( as did it smell and taste heavenly)
by darkness and all the better we couldn't see what we were eating
and even more so what we were eating in..Yikes...
By almost 10pm we were totally floored by tiredness and took a quick squinty at the festival and made our way back to the hotel to pack our luggage...
i can't wait to makeit back to Vietnam in the near future hopefully!

Busy streets!

Prayers!

Full Moon!

Vietnam Day 3: Work!!!

2009-06-30T13:54:00.007+08:00

I Love morning Buffet Breakfasts at Hotels.
Day 3 I had my hair and make up done at 10am, then at noon we set off down the road
to an unopened resort to film our scenes!
In short, basically me and Choy are sisters who are drama queens and we are those sort of girls
who constantly join pageants and who think they are all that!!!
Was hot!!!!!!!but great company makes a big difference!

LAck of Updates!

2009-06-24T21:22:00.005+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates- had a busy last 2 weeks, my Grandma unfortunately took a turn for the worse and passed away on the 14th this month.

It was my first proper funeral including all the rites and cremation etc. It's a terrible way for a family get together but hopefully this is something that unites all. I recorded and photographed her entirely funeral for memories sake and to pass on to my children.

My grandfather on my mum's side left in 1981 before I was born, but I sure wish I could have met him after all the stories my mum told me.

This is in dedication to her:
A celebration of her Life!

goodbye from her Great-Grand Children

Yes we skyped with family overseas who watched the ceremony the laptop!

Vietnam Town

2009-06-08T12:43:00.002+08:00

DAY 1

So last Wednesday Choy and myself flew off midday to Vietnam. It was a 2 hour flight to Ho Chi Minh City and then 1-Hour to Danang and a half hour ride to Hoi An's Victoria Beach resort and Spa!

Of course, things never go totally according to plan and in between our transits we had an hour to spare. But by the time we handled our Visa and got out of the HCM airport it was 2.30pm, we ran with our luggage in hand across to the Domestic Airport. We were the last to check in and the guy at the counter was pacing up and down slowly taking his time to wayang around and he finally said," No need to check in-no time, no time!"

Me and Choy insisted but he said no need. So we get through, where people in Vietnam have no idea what a queue means, pushing and shoving is quite common! We then get onto bus to take us to the plane and of course we are stopped saying my luggage is to big, and having to explain what the man said.

I ended up leaving my luggage by the stair case into the plane and praying that it makes it to Hoi An, whilst standing in the pouring rain!!!
NIGHTMARE!!!I swear it was the amazing Race....

Anyway,we made it in one piece and got to the resort which was beautiful but cosy.Not too huge that you have to drag yourself to breakfast, the gym, to the pool, everything was within comfortable reach. I spent the rest of the evening
in my room chilling and on the internet with a nice long hot bath for 15 minutes!

Day 2:TO be Continued....

Vietnam

2009-05-29T01:09:00.003+08:00

Next week I'm off to Vietnam, Danang beaches (click here).
For 1week in the sun, i'll be filming with a fellow Kosmic artist, Choy, on a French production.
I'll take some good pictures and hopefully the hotel has internet connection etc.

I'm staying at Victoria Hoi An Beach and Spa Resort and looking forward to being busy 24/7, being at the gym, sauna, swimming .Ofcourse it would have been a great getaway with the other half, alone, but ah well.....

other updates-
Caught Night at the Museum 2, just now, and it was pretty funny, especially with the Oscar the Grouch scene. Definitely lived up to part1, if not better! Other than that been sorting out a side business and with the familia.

My June getaway has been pushed to July, and i still haven't been to the new Butter. I live somewhat a sedentary life and hardly go out. Sleep is a waste of time and i cant wait for each new day to begin, to erase the recordings of the previous days so as not to dwell on them.

Well will ponder till i sleep, been some what tumultuous evening.

Much Ado About Nothing@ Fort Canning Park

2009-05-23T13:08:00.004+08:00

The weather seemed to be against us, but it held off the rest of the still night.
Adrian Pang was wickedly brilliant in his mannerisms..but the rest of the cast shone just as brightly in particular Wendy Kweh.....who played Beatrice...

The settings minus the pressure cooker heat was beautiful with the set brightly lit.
Here are details of the play, please do try catch it under the stars, on the grass greens, with blanket and picnic in tow , though there is food available!

"Much Ado about Nothing is of one of Shakespeare's best known, light-hearted comedies. The play follows the obstacle filled courtships of two romances - Hero and Claudio, and Benedick and Beatrice. The brilliance of the main plot witnesses Hero and Claudio falling in love at first sight; but as with any immediate attraction, they have a lot to learn about each other. This is accompanied with the humorous bickering of Beatrice and Benedick in their “merry war” of the sexes.

The quintessential romantic comedy is layered with witty and hilarious character interaction between the two couples, as well as a streak of darkness from Don John who conspires against Hero and Claudio’s wedding. In the end though, does it all turn out to be "much ado about nothing"?

Click on SISTIC to buy tickets for this MUST see play in the park!
The play is until the 31st May!!!1

Star Trek's back and Sexier than hell

2009-05-12T19:09:00.003+08:00

SO besides having the sniffles and being somewhat overnight sick out of the blue-
Star Trek was absolutely AMAZING!!!!

though i thought Zachary Quinto's Spock character was a constant reminder to his Heroes character, nothing bad can be said about the movie at all. It had the perfect proportions of Drama, Laughter and Love in it, none to much nor little.
Having an alternate past defnitely leaves this movie for more prequels in addition to this 2009 movie. I htiught the charcters were absolutely perfect!

Must WATCH!!!!
One of the Best movies this year, if Transformers doesnt blow me away with its visual, but this movie had more depth to it and made you think more than the Latter!
