Dim Sum Dollies!

Went to watch dim sum dollies yesterday. It is sooo soooo soooo soooooo good!!!! Everybody must watch! I laughed till my sides ache. It was so damn funny, all the short skits that tell everything singapore and our daily lives. It was caustically mocking at first loves, singapore's politics and current entertainment scene. Wah seh...and I heard from wy's friend that their first production was even better than this. I seriously thought this was really excellent!

There was a scene where Lucy Liu (Killbill) was challenging Zhang Ziyi (crouching tiger hidden 'bitch'). Then Lucy was asking Hossan Leong (Bruce Lee) to translate what ziyi was saying then when he was trying to translate what Lucy said in English to Ziyi, she said she understood English. They went like 'ooh'. Then she said..."The salt is too salty." I was like...hahahahahahaha.

Then there was this part where Pam Oie started to sing on her guitar...part of the lyrics went like this...at thirty, this man promised me a bag from hermes, and in the end he gave me herpes...loads of crap!

All the acting was super lame...highly recommended. Can't wait for their next production to come. Too bad I watched the last show yesterday...and somebody walked away with a honda jazz!!! So lucky. (got lucky draw one)

I MISS SCHOOL!!!!

Bwah hooo hooo...was taking the train back from bbdc after taking my final theory test to work when I saw so many bloody ppl on their way to sch! (I passed theory! first to leave...looking damn smart and ozzing nonchalance!)

Oh man! When was the last time I had the feeling of waking up in the morning just to go to school (other than bbdc...driving sch!) I miss my nice little room...i miss the sumptious suppers...i miss running to jj's room and buay pai seh de plop on her bed. I miss hanging around ppl in sch!!! I miss irritating peisze during econs and i miss sleeping in the lecture halls! I also miss running around the sch late at nite! Arggh! Does anyone miss it as much as I do? Why do I feel so difficult to let go? Wy say everyone has left so no point staying...true...but I feel so so lost in this corporate world! Arggh.

Grandma says work comes independence...you can make your own decisions and buy stuffs you've always wanted. I dun crave for this independence at all! I find no joy outside school boundaries. I find no joy coming to work with four walls enclosed, looking at the comp, thinking when I can reach my quota and be gone for the day! I hate to go home just wishing the next day was the weekend. Gross. Childish. Yes i agree. Very very childish. Arrgh...why is life so lost?

Sometimes I wish I can travel around...like travel within singapore also can! No need to come to the chair that awaits me like hell's gate everytime I step into the office! Been trying to make my life exciting until yesterday when it just struck me. Things are not gonna change. Like when my granny ask me how's work...i say gave her a look and waved my hands horizontally in a straight line.

I hate the feeling of getting stuck in a situation. Never thought working life was great. Never never never. arggh.

Sometimes I miss everything so much I just want to enclose myself at home so at least I wont see so much changes when I see farmiliar faces.

Did you get my message?!

Been hearing loads of relationship problems lately...sometimes makes me feel so weird. Ppl are in relationships and yet they seem most of the time not happy. Why is that so. It's realli difficult to make two worlds into one. Been through done that and still trying =)

Listened to Jason Mraz cd and it is realli good!!! He's like mocking at relationships from the front to back. Both hilarious and upsetting and the same time. Sacarsm at both men and women work sometimes. The music's like chapalang! Whatever comes to his mind he writes...and I think there's some abt his sexual raves as well (eh hem..premature ejacu...haha)

Men are from mars. Women from Venus. So true. This is a nice song. Think quite funny too.


Did you get my message

JM: Did you get my message, the one I left
While I was trying to condense everything
That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess
And make all of my stresses go bye-bye

TP: Did you get my message, you didnt I guess
'cuz if you did you would have called me with your sweet intent
and we could give it a rest
'stead of beating my breast
making all of the pressure go sky-high

JM: Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
And come back together again
with a whole new meaning In a brand new sense,
completely unrelated to the one I sent

Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, oooh oooh ooooh
Did you get my message, yeah, oooh oooh ooooh hooo

JM: Uh oh, where did it go, must have by-passed your phone
and flown right out of the window
TP: ooh well, how can I tell?
Should I call the operator
JM: Maybe she know the info
or whether or not if my message you got was too much or a lot to
reply
TP: why not try this for a fact
JM: well should you ever call back
I'd relax and be relieved of all my panic attacks


JM
: Did you get my message, the one I left
while I was trying to convince everything that I meant
TP: Now the moment has passed
JM: Not much sand in the glass and I'm standing to lose my mind

JM: Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send
Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take
and come back together again
with a whole new meaning to the matter of our loves defense
at least be sympathetic to the time i spent


JM: Did you get my message...
TP: Oh no I didnt hear a word, baby
JM: Did you get my message...
TP: and i'm not gonna believe your lies anymore
JM: Come on and, answer the question now
TP: I dont hear a thing from you and you keep saying you'll call me
JM: Ahhhh did you get my message now...that I wanna get back with you
JM: Did you get my message love...that I wanna reconnect with you
JM: did you get my message suga now
TP: I did not hear one thing you say you sent to me
JM: Ohhhh did you get my message
TP: so why dont you, answer the phone

Amazing isn't it? Still dun get the message after so long.

外婆

今天是外婆生日 我换上复古西装
载着外婆开着拉风的古董车兜兜兜风
车里放着她的最爱 找回属于是她的时代
往大稻埋码头开去把所有和外公的往事静静回忆
外婆她脸上的涟漪 美丽但藏不住压抑
推动了爱情只盼望亲情 弥补回应
大人们以为出门之前桌上放六百就算是孝敬
一天到晚拼了命 赚钱少了关怀有什么意义
外婆她的期待 慢慢变成无奈 大人们始终不明白
她要的是陪伴 而不是六百块 比你给的还简单
外婆的无奈 无法变成期待 只有爱才能够明白
走在淡水河衅 听着她的最爱 把温暖放回口袋

记得去年外婆的生日 表哥带我和外婆参加
她最最重视的颁奖典礼 结果却拿不到半个奖
不知该笑不笑 我对着镜头傻笑 只觉得自己可笑
我难过 却不是因为没有得奖而难过
我失落 是因为看到外婆失落而失落 大人们根本不能体会
表哥他的用心 好像随他们高兴就可以彻底的否定
否定 我的作品 决定在于心情
想坚持风格他们他们就觉得很欧颗
没惊喜没有改变 我已经听了三年
我告诉外婆 我没输 不需要改变
表哥说不要觉得可惜 这只是一场游戏
只要外婆觉得好听 那才是一种鼓励
外婆露出了笑容说她以我为荣
浅浅的笑容 就让我感到比得奖它还要光荣

Was taking the train back from Amore yesterday when I sudddenly thought about my grandparents. I remembered the time my grandpa used to take me for piano lessons and he would wait 45 mins outside the piano teacher's house then he would bring me back to granny house again. He might sometimes take me to the hawker centre for breakfast and he would tell his friends that he was taking me for piano lessons should anyone ask. I remembered my granny used to come my place to stay overnight and I would definitely love for her to come and stay again. Occasionally my grandpa would fetch my cousin to my place for playtime if I was unable to visit. My granny would take me to the market and she would buy me goodies...and that was the part I looked forward to every market trip.

Suddenly, all these seemed damn far away. I was really close to them when I was young. Brought up by them since my parents had to work. I'm not sure how long it has been since I drifted. Althought I still make it a habit to visit them once every week. My grandpa can't travel. The furthest he can go is around the neighbourhood, usually sitting at the void deck where he thought was cooler. My granny only visits church and sometimes she gets so tired she doesn't go at all. Sometimes I think about them and I feel so guilty. It's like I made them old by not spending time with them. Is that what happens when people grow up?

I wish they were younger again. Those were the carefree and happy days.
