{ Dance, DANCE, DANCE, plus i like Jojo's "Not that kinda girl" }
Ta da and I'm ah listening to Collide by Howie Day!!! Wooh The lyrics are so meaningful... Plus I've got chinese literature test tmr and this Econs template thing, which is rather extensive [includes reading 20 pages of the textbook and filling in the table-->please try to imagine haha), plus 1 essay, 1 comprehension, and many other chinese pieces of writing for hols. Luckily I sorta enjoy doing Chinese homework at my own pace, cos i find them really thought-provoking, but thinking about all the make up lessons during the hols, with lectures that go on for 2 hrs, and 2 or 3 in a day, i'm giving u a gun to shoot me...
NONONONO! I'M NOT HAVING SUICIDAL THOUGHTS! To be honest, i wun want to die so young, i still have many things to do. Like dancing for pop stars like J Lo (oooh), Britney Spears ( i like the steps but dun really like what they wear and the kissing involved between dancers) and of cuz, Elva haha... That would be sth really far-fetched though. I'm abstract in thinking, which means I'm idealistic, i have this idea in my mind, this vision, but the prob is i dun really know how to go about doing it and i'm scared, example, the Tapestry thing. Refer to my previous previous entry....
Actually, many things happen in school all the time. Recently, I've started taking them down in my orange cheer-me-up notebook for schoolwork ahha... but dun think i'm ever gonna write them yet and I'm gonna try Dance tmr. Good luck to me! Plus, before i forget, i do feel that relationships with people(eg Cybell and HY) in school just improve all the time, cos it's through the spending time together and chatting that brings people closer to each other. Guess this again proves to me that there is no use in "forcing yourself". Just "let nature take its course". And i like Stace more and more. If you're here, Stacey-gdger(this is what she saved in my phone book) you're really nice and cute! Haha, we have a secret --> U saw me today for the first time and i noticed ur specs is purple for the first. Hope you get me...
Well, talking about dance, I just asked that Malay dancing group if i could watch them again. This time, i took a step further though i took a lot of time to make myself go up and ask if they would mind me tryin to learn some of their steps.(As if it's so easy to learn ha, cos really very fast, I think the leader is rather experienced.) They let me and the leader even talked to me a little like my school and stuff and asked me about their dance, and i really think it's nice, but somehow it's a bit monotonous. Maybe cos i watched it repetitively just now. Plus, i watched them dance the first time ever when they were practising for Anti-drugs and i knew the girl from there la. But a bit weird, cos this time round, she's the only girl and the rest are guys but all of them can really dance, especially the leader. Though he's skinny, he's kinda muscular and his speed is really amazing. But can tell he's the leader type, so confident and keep yelling "Let's Go, let's go" when they start training again aha...
Haix, then i sorta overheard them saying they are given a chance for performances because of knowing this guy who's in the hip-hop club in singapore and gives dancers, amateurs or not opportunities to dance... At that point of time, i really wanna ask them if I could join them but i took so much courage to ask them if i could try to learn their steps and i was thinking it'd seem as if i'm intruding on them cos i dun belong with them in the first place. They are all Malays too and i have the feeling they are trying to make themselves this dance group to make it big, cos i can tell the leader is rather ambitious and it's true that they all have potential being so young and all, confirmed they below 20 yrs old ha.
But i understand perfectly well that opportunites are around us all the time, it's just whether if we know how to grab it. And anyway during jazz just now, instructor Derrick asked us if we were interested in performing and we got really excited, except maybe Mariah ahhaah. Her expression really funny la... I'm just wondering how fun it'd really be! Well anyway, so at least i know that would be something in the near future and i dun think i dance as well as them, but i a bit think i might if i go all out but the point is i dunno the steps so i can't be that confident at like only seeing them 2 times and they seem to be quite close, cos of all the training and stuff. So there... Talk to ya later... I have to go study for the test anyhow right, unless i really wanna flunk it hahhha.... But that will come l8r! M_M

{ "Are you A Leader" --> Title for the newsletter thingy! }
Well, I guess I really wana post all that MAPP stuff, newsletters i receive on a particular topic in terms of character building and stuff, though it's really about career.... If anyone wanna ask me what's MAPP, go ahead!!! Enjoy!
[Want to have some fun? Go to the book section of Amazon.com, enter the keyword "leadership" and see how many hits you get.The last time I did this I got over 12,400 hits. Twelve thousand four hundred! Why is there so much material on this one subject? The law of supply and demand would say it is because people are buying it. But I suspect there are other, more subtle reasons.
One of those reasons is the underlying belief that leadership can be taught. With enough training, anybody can be a leader. The thesis is that leaders are made, not born. Or are they?
The other day a woman told me that she sees definite leadership traits in her son. I asked her how old he was. "Six," she replied. Too young to have been through any leadership training. So areleaders born or made? The answer is both.
The problem is that we often get fuzzy about what can and cannot be taught, and at the heart of the fuzziness is the difference between talent and skill.
Talent is what we do well naturally. It is our bent. Talents are inborn, and can be discovered and developed. They cannot be taught. However, skills can. Skills are simply how to do something. They are learned and transferable. When we confuse talent and skill, we set ourselves up for disappointing expectations from training.
What does this have to do with developing leaders? Everything. For example, the ability to create vision and strategy is a key leadership trait. Some people have a talent for it. They do it naturally and continually. Others don’t. Both can learn some skills that will help them do it better. The difference is that the one with the corresponding talent can be excellent at it, while the other one can be adequate at best. Talent is required for excellence. Who wants more "adequate" leaders?
Here’s the bottom line for developing your leadership potential: become the leader you are designed to be. Discover your natural motivational talents, and build on them. Volunteer for assignments and training that complement your natural giftedness. Get on the track to excellence by aligning your development with your talents.
There are all types of leaders. Some rouse and inspire. Some organize.Some are strategic, and some tactical. Some spot opportunities, and some protect against disaster. All are needed in this world of ours. What’s the best type of leader to be? The type you were designed to be.]

{ Tapestry or not? Haix... :-( }
Well, believe it or not, i'm not really sad, just for the sake of making my blog entry look more realistic and alive ha... Well, this tapestry thing is something like an event for street performances in Singapore, my country... So, I was thinking of joining it, with our secondary school seniors and juniors, or those who have left the school already cos i really miss the days when we practising together. But the thing is we have to go thru an audition and it's not guranteed that you will go in. Funds raised will be for a charity organization, a good cause at least. The prob is i'm apprehensive so i'm scared i can't do this, as in anyway you say it, i initiated it. Ha, funny that i got the idea after seeing this poster at one of the boards at the staircase landing in my school. I saw another poster long ago about this environmental dance or singing competition too haha. Makes me feel as if Jurong Junior College is like an advertisement agency, like publicising stuff, but good in a way.
And actually, i wanted to write the things that happened today as i jotted down the quirky stuff that happened but time's running out for me. I'm supposed to have 2 essays, 2 geog test, 1 chinese 'A' test tmr haha. By right, i should be working on my portfolio, sth like an essay for GP (General Paper, something like English) and I'm not ha. Just got off the phone with Eve and son of a bitch ha, it's like gonna be 1am soon! Well, actually before i came home, on the way, i was thinking about how i should really try restructuring my life again despite efforts earlier on, cos sometimes i'm too ill-disciplined, in terms of myself, that i can't do the things i want myself to do. Hence, i would just heck care everything and do what i please, which will cause my homework to pile up in a heap like a mountain of some sort and come crashing down on me one day. HAHA, A FINE DAY, DON'T U THINK!
Well, so i checked the website of the tapestry thing and i sat around watching tv and thinking what i can do about it. Then i discussed this with Hippy and ended up saying this might not work in the end after making it sound so fun and all since we're gonna be dancing together again if we pull this off haha... Anyway, sometimes my decisions and thinking waver cos of my mood swings. Actually today going back to JSS to collect the cert with Nyleve, Pam, Dabao and "Da Bi Zi"(big nose) was nice. HAHA!
Plus, i was so troubled over Dance or Drama but i think i'm gonna join Dance after all. It's like after all the tormenting myself on issues like being fat, being exposed if i were made to wear revealing costumes (SLEEVELESS TO ME IS!) ha, when i'm in a bad mood that is, and being tired and having little time at home. It just comes down to one question. So i asked myself this simple question, "Grace/Kyla/Kaya, do you wanna dance?"The answer is yes so i shd just go ahead and do whatever i have to do to dance... Hee hee, it's so nice, after making a decision. "Embrace your uniqueness!" Well, i actually have this whole stanza about listening to yourself when u make decisions but i forgot where i placed it so i'm gonna find it and type it here. Hail Blogger, if it promises to never fail...
Dammit, it's 1am soon. And was listening to Bond's "Explosive" as i started writing, now it has ended a long time ago and my Ares haven finish downloading it haha...

{ Burnout and sth ABOUT MOI! }
This is just something I get from my mail on a regular basis. Hope this can be some help to u people out there as well as I can rmb it myself too, if Blogger doesn't crash one day haha....
In some ways it was a typical breakfast meeting. The waitress was pleasant, the eggs were average, and the restaurant was full of busy people. We shared a cup of black, coffee-like substance, and the first few times my client took a sip he managed to spill quite a bit of it. His trembling hand was just one of the symptomsof his burnout. That’s why we were meeting. He wanted to know if Icould help him.
I picked up a fork and explained that as long as I used it for eating, the fork would last indefinitely. However, if I began to use it to drive nails or dig trenches, it would soon break. The key was to use it for what it was designed to do.The look in his eyes told me he got it, but I still went on to say that people are like the fork. When they do what they are not designed to do, they eventually break. Sure enough, his MAPP showed that he was designed to work on projects where there was a definite goal. He derived immense satisfaction from reaching goals. He also needed to work by himself about half the time. He was a scientist and enjoyed lab time, doing calculations, and interpreting test results.What his job required on a day-to-day basis was another story. His primary task was to supervise a dozen people and maintain operations.No goals. No projects. No time alone. Consequently, his job was sucking the life out of him. Much credit for his recovery goes to his boss who was willing to change the job content to fit the design of a valuable employee.
So how do you know if you, a loved one, or someone who reports to you is suffering from burnout? Here are the early warning signs.
1. chronic fatigue - exhaustion, tiredness, a sense of being physically rundown
2. anger at those making demands
3. self-criticism for putting up with the demands
4. cynicism, negativity, and irritability
5. a sense of being besieged
6. exploding easily at seemingly inconsequential things
7. frequent headaches and gastrointestinal disturbances
8. weight loss or gain
9. sleeplessness and depression
10. shortness of breath
11. suspiciousness
12. feelings of helplessness
13. increased degree of risk taking
Haha, something interesting to note here... I realize I had symptoms 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13 during the first 3 months and when I was doing stuff as an ogl haha. Now i finally understand why and for now, thr's reason for joy cos the symptoms i have has reduced to only 8 and 10 haha but i'm telling you that 10 is a killer. Not getting enough breath is really hard. It's so suffocating, i thought i'd just die. Though my dad has told me before that my shortness of breath is caused by my crouching with the side of the body with the heart lying on the back. That means i don't sleep with my back. Well, just sth to read about which is kinda interesting. It's interesting to me, at least.

{ Hu LA LA, my brain goes on vacation at times! }
Hahaha, this is funny. I think i got this from Kyra. About ur brain taking vacations and wandering around, so u can't concentrate. Well, it's just that these few days, i have short term memory and thr's this morn before going to sch, whereby i went to the kitchen to get sth, but ended up turning around in a few circles b4 i rmb what i wanted. Really stupid, hahhahahahha...
So, that day during Chinese, I was like listening but I dunno what the teacher means. Like a sieve, but I like to say that my brain has gone on vacation. I finally understood what it meant. So I was telling Synn that the brain has gone on vacation and that it's in Hawaii dancing ahah and a while later, it's in US playing snowballing with Kyra. It's like only my brain alone playing snowballing with Kyra. THAT WOULD SURELY FREAK HER OUT! PLAYING WITH A BRAIN!!! AHHAAHAHHHAHHAHA... Yup, so juz wanted to mention this too. Oh ya, um... I wanna say studies doesn't really mean too much to me. Cos June, when she was studying my 16PF for me asked me if i was stressed or nervous juz before i got my O level result slip and I was like "no"and she haha, laughed and said, "well, that means that you don't really care much about studies." And I was like, "yah, that's true in a way." So she was asking me under what situations will i feel really stressed out and my answer very naturally is, social situations ahha... So there..
And I'm also listening to jojo's "Not that kinda girl"and J.Lo's "Hold You Down", Howie Day's "Collide"--> Really nice songs and meaningful lyrics... and Tyler James' "Foolish"

{ I'm late 3 times and It's such a sorry way to be late for the 3rd Time!!! }
Whew, it's been a long time, my dear readers. hahaha... Well, today's post can be said to be juz for the sake of posting... or not? I know I'm crap though and cos I really have this inclination to jot down every single thing tat I think I want to remember 4 life. But I'm scared that Blogger will just crash on 1 fine day and everything will b lost. Which is y I haf a diary + a blog. But the prob is havin' a diary is not so easy since I type faster than I write and I love typing. (Woo Hoo!!!) Plus, sometimes to think of writing aft a long day at sch isn't tat enticing. But never mind, we'll juz c hw it goes. But can any1 tell me whether is thr a great possibility tat Blogger will crash sumhw and everybody's thoughts and memories will be gone wif it too... Haix, that prospect is really scary. But that's juz e way wif technology nw...
Well, abt my lateness, for e past 2 weeks n dis week, I've been late for a total of 3 times. It's as if i'm late once a wk. Ha, and e worst thing is yest, Fri. It's only a half day bcos our sch's volleyball girls won e finals for the 1st time ever ha. So they made Fri a half-day as celebratory efforts ha. Thus, sch ends at 10am and ur free to wander ard like lost kids wherever u wan. My only lesson starts at 10.30 but i went to sch as i thought i had to do sth as the geography rep and also to pass up homewk. I really planned on escaping sch but thinking about the homewk i owe teachers, I had to go. Plus, I can't afford to write any more parent excuse letters in such short breaks in between cos i had skipped sch 2 times. The first: to escape cheering on Wed last wk and 2nd: i was late on Mon and stayed home.
Eve said thr's this pact for us to tie 2 plaits to sch. So i tried to tie 2 small ones. Tat took a bit of time but i failed cos my hair was juz 2 excited to lurve doing standing ovations too much... But nvm, i'm not blaming my lateness because of tat n many things else like cos i woke at 7am and had to pack stuff. But nvm, I'm late and that's a fact. My neighbour also late ahha.. We like quite often have adrenaline so much cos of lateness together ahha... Cos he also like to be late, i think, it's either that or he moves very slowly... No offense though. ^_^ Hence, in conclusion, the 3rd time i was late is for something really unworthy. No lessons, i come to sch, late for the 3rd time and by right, I'm supposed to serve detention but no one approached me or sth like that so i dun care too haha. I mean how much can a person really care? He/She will just go berserk if everything is his/her business right??
Other things are really fine for me. I don't have any major problems. Well, maybe just cos i dun have Microsoft Word, I only have this Microsoft Works Word Processor which can't view what the general majority of people use -->Microsoft Word. And to be honest, I don't really like photocopying unless it's pics or diagrams. So I borrowed the notes frm my classmates tat we're supposed to get frm the LMS( dis sch webby thing tat you get notes frm ur teachers) cos i CAN'T view the ones in Microsoft Word. So, i finished typing 3 sets of Chinese literature notes already but there's still 8 to go. Ha, I really enjoy doin' it, it's juz tat to others (to myself at times too), I'm wasting time. According to my 16PF, I do routine tasks tat don't exactly challenge my intelligence and curiosity. HAHA, i juz love doin those things anyway but I think i'll do lesser of them or do them once in a while ha. So Mum saw me at the com yest so much and i kept saying I was TYPING. She even offered to buy the Microsoft Word CD for me but i declined her offer, cos it's really a waste of money... It'll cost at least 50 or 60 bucks i think, for the original one hee hee, I don't really like pirated stuff nowadays. that explains my $54.90 REAL sims2 cd... So nvm, we'll see how it goes.
+ Juz feeling kinda sad that I'm starting to lose a bit of passion or my addictiveness of the Sims 2 ahha. But that's gd in a way, I won't waste too much time on it. Plus, my body is sorta aching all over. That's cos i've been eating Mars Bar (i fear i'll be addicted to it) for the past 3 days and as i was eating it on the bus home yest (just don't throw litter on the bus!), i saw that it had 1157kJ --> FREAK OUT! I din know there was so much in juz that overly-sweet bar. So, i alighted one more stop before my usual bus stop and thought I really had to do something cos my belly is expanding everyday! Thus, I came home, started dancing like crazy = sth i haven done for some time except from the weekly 1 hr of jazz, which is why i'm what i am now. Cos i nv cool down whenever i'm at home and warm up is juz light dancing. I either forget or dun care hee, cos that's like so rare now tat I spend most of my time either with e com, in sch or juz lazing ard... Tell ya pple a secret, "I'M LAZY!" Well, another thing is hmm... i dun forget, by the way. Oh ya, i've been trying to talk to Michael for a long time cos i wanted to say happy birthday to him but i either can't get thru to his family or his bro, Gabe. But nvm, so much for a short post ha...
Currently listening/fave songs: What you Waiting for --> Gwen Stefani, Nicole Kidman --> Sparkling Diamond from Moulin Rouge, includes a bit of Material Girl haha. Quite cheesy, sometimes, i mean Moulin Rouge songs cos they copy a bit from everywhere. And I like Rich Girl from Gwen Stefani too haha... So thr...
And DAMMIT! IT IS RAINING HEAVILY NOW!

Well, abt my lateness, for e past 2 weeks n dis week, I've been late for a total of 3 times. It's as if i'm late once a wk. Ha, and e worst thing is yest, Fri. It's only a half day bcos our sch's volleyball girls won e finals for the 1st time ever ha. So they made Fri a half-day as celebratory efforts ha. Thus, sch ends at 10am and ur free to wander ard like lost kids wherever u wan. My only lesson starts at 10.30 but i went to sch as i thought i had to do sth as the geography rep and also to pass up homewk. I really planned on escaping sch but thinking about the homewk i owe teachers, I had to go. Plus, I can't afford to write any more parent excuse letters in such short breaks in between cos i had skipped sch 2 times. The first: to escape cheering on Wed last wk and 2nd: i was late on Mon and stayed home.
Eve said thr's this pact for us to tie 2 plaits to sch. So i tried to tie 2 small ones. Tat took a bit of time but i failed cos my hair was juz 2 excited to lurve doing standing ovations too much... But nvm, i'm not blaming my lateness because of tat n many things else like cos i woke at 7am and had to pack stuff. But nvm, I'm late and that's a fact. My neighbour also late ahha.. We like quite often have adrenaline so much cos of lateness together ahha... Cos he also like to be late, i think, it's either that or he moves very slowly... No offense though. ^_^ Hence, in conclusion, the 3rd time i was late is for something really unworthy. No lessons, i come to sch, late for the 3rd time and by right, I'm supposed to serve detention but no one approached me or sth like that so i dun care too haha. I mean how much can a person really care? He/She will just go berserk if everything is his/her business right??

{/Tuesday, May 10, 2005, @12:40 PM.
{ I finally got my 16PF. It seemed as if a Paleozoic era had passed. }
I finally got my 16 PF report today. I guess i'm the one out of people i know who has the most things to improve of. The list was really very long. But gotta know that i'm suitable for the helping and creating career fields. One of the suggested jobs directly linked with my interest is actually a religious leader, ahha... No offense to the religions and their leaders but i'm a freethinker and i would never think i could be a religious leader... Well, it even suggested i get professional counseling help. The common stereotype of people who seek counsellors is that they are mentally unstable people haha. But that's not always the case. Some people are naturally more tense and anxious than others but it's also these people who achieve but i'm really not one of these lucky ones ha...
But, no matter what, whether i like it or not, the 16pf is very accurate, as in for me. It's juz so true that I hate myself as depicted in the report. Okay, not really hate la, but it's like i know i've always had problems, mostly personal concerns that are actually redundant but it's just hard for me to let go, but i din know i had so many problems. And they cause me my misery. Nevertheless, I'm born to be a teacher, according to the 16 pf scientists and psychologists haha. Eve told me that Jesse and Kailing thought from the start that it's a waste of money. But that's just another example of how different and diverse human beings are. Because for me, I've been waiting for such programmes since I knew about things cos I'm constantly on the journey of self-discovery. I even make it a personal goal to understand myself, but i know that would be hard, really hard. Okay, I'm sorta doing deep thinking here, so as to amend for my lack of deep thinking time according to the report haa. Maybe i do sound kinda sarcastic... But it doesnt matter right? Shit, i'm uttering nonsense again.
Yesterday was Mother's Day. We ate at this place somewhere on the outskirts of a park in Choa Chu Kang. There were many Malays and I thought it's a Malay restaurant and I admit i really din want to eat there at first. But, I really have to be less self absorbed and even more accommodating. (According to the report, I'm generally accommodating wad. hee...) And, the food was really not bad, so dun judge as u will misjudge. Oh gosh, this is really true but i always forget in times of need and i already made my judgment before i recall it ha. Bought this grape seed oil shower gel and orange loofah from The Body Shop. In the end, my mum and dad were sorta against the loofah, they find it a waste of money haha. But never mind, I can use it haa. I even wonder if that was my initial motive, to use what i buy for my mum. Most probably, the answer is yes. I think i'm really self absorbed, 16 pf told me... Haix, it's like the report mentioned that I'm an extreme worrier ha... But that's just me and my leadership skills is all below 5 except permissive leadership. It means a motivation to lead when there is harmony and without conflict or sth like that. And I'm in the artistic and social views. Can you imagine this? I'm warm, with a score of 8 but I'm shy, at a 3 on the socially bold scale haha. Such contradictions. Again, the wonders of the world.
But something baffles me, the report constantly mentions that I'm afraid to deal with problems because I'm not optimistic or objective enough. Well, i'm not sure what's the exact term but something about me being kinda pessimistic. But I think this is a problem that has greatly improved. So, well, it already stated that it's not 100% accurate, as like nothing is definite and "nothing is impossible, impossible is nothing"-->Eve's favourite quotation hha... Really funny! So, i think i was quite sad about the counselling thing. I mean i've told my parents since young before that i need counselling. They say I'm crazy and why don't i pay them and they counsel me. Which shows that they spout more rubbish than me cos they are the ones paying after all as i can't pay them with anything. Maybe my teeth that have fallen off or hair that i pluck out. HAHAHAHA!!! Well, sorry for the interruption by my overimaginative mind. I got 7 on the imagination scale ha...
So yup, don't wanna mention more about this. And yesterday, Cybell only laughed at me at one point during PW when i asked her why she dun want to take the 16 pf test. Cos we got our files back at that time. I asked and provided her the reason after that. I said that is it because she was scared of knowing about herself. Haha, she laughed and i dun understand why at first. Only after she said she din take cos her edusave no more money and she dun want to pay cash then did i understand. Yup, i guess it was the Monday blues that made me kind of moody. And maybe it's like i feel more detached to Cybell and HY cos i haven seen them for like a weekend and sometimes a bit awkward when we have nothing ot say but it's juz me, basically the two of them have many things to talk about la hah... Guess i'm a weirdo and Eve's found other weirdos like Jesse and Kailing, Pamela's found Sheena, and PL ahha...
During GP module, I really perked up by Liling. She even asked me if i was coping well in JJ. That either shows that she's really very sensitive or that she really notices me and cares for my well-being. The politically correct answer and the answer that averts self-pity is "okay la, better now." But she said cos sometimes she see me look quite sad. And I replied, "Everyday?" She said, "No la, not everyday, but some days." This reminds me of when Eve they all say i show everything on my face but i think i don't. But it's the fact that i dun hide my feelings well. I guess this links me to the artistic or self-expressive fields because it's hard to hide ha... Well, i better go sleep. Just wanna say I'm still having fun playing Sims. Maybe just a teeny weeny bit less enjoyable just now, cos i keep family skipping to ensure they have high birth rate haha... So that the ageing population problem will be improved haha.. Nvm, it's too much to say everything. Oh ya, and I realized another method of expressing my feelings to my mum. That is through txting hhaa.. Cos i txt her about the giro form for our school fees yesterday and she replied. Then later on, i went to tell her that I still feel rather alone at times even when I go around with Cybell and HY sometimes. And that I love her. It was like 3 plus in the afternoon before she said me too. I dont' even know what she was referring to as after that, she asked "1 2 buy dinner" haha... Well, enough said. And i'm really glad knowing Aloysius and Danielle la hahha...
Wow, these are 2 really nice stories.
P.S. It's so weird that I actually kinda like Gwen Stefani now. It's like I din like her cos she seems kinda trashy and i'm biased towards artistes that can dance, but she can't do jazz + hiphop, like those dances shown in MTVs. Haha, but her songs are really nice after I watched her on this Billboard 04' on Labour Day TV special. My hands really hurt now, bye. And to KYRA!!! THE BUMBO -- I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU! Maybe i should leave a comment in your blog everyday to let you know i haven forgotten you but FAT HOPE!!!

{ Lord of the Dance... Celtic.. Woohahha! I really had FUN!!! }
Woah, so me, Pam, and Eve went to watch Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance haha... It costs us $51 inclusive of the Sistic charge of 2 bucks. It was rather exciting too. I had to admit the front parts were kinda sleep inducing. Well, we were tired too so we almost dozed off. But, as the show progressed, it got more and more exciting with the faster fancy footwork and in the end, that was the longest time I had ever clapped up till now haha. So i was rather amazed and impressed by myself! Ta tika tata datika ta... Ha, i'm trying to make the sounds out but apparently, i fail... It was quite funny too, you could see some of Michael Flatley's favourite step ha, the elbow in front of you as if you are crossing your arms but you're juz putting one arm over the arm, oh shoot, i duno how to say it. Then, at the end of the show, only one Caucasian lady did a standing ovation. We were sitting at the very back and it's upstairs and i think she was the only one who stood as we could see. Later, Evelyn joined her and only 2 did standing ovations ha. Well, maybe thr might be somemore standing ovations downstairs, i mean directly below us but i actually doubt it. Okok, that was juz a brief intro about what i thought about it. Now, the exciting part. hohoho...
We tried to sneak in backstage, cos i wanted a bit of excitement. But, i can say all 3 of us weren't exactly the most socially bold people on earth. Well, Eve could be, depends if her mood is in hysterical mode or not haha... But nevertheless, when we tried to go down the steps, (maybe some of you wun know what i'm saying by referring to the stairs or wad but juz hang on and follow) 2 guys in front of us told us that if we are finding the exit, we should be going upstairs. We sort of showed skeptical faces and they tried to reassure us that they are the crew, and they went our desired path after that. Haha, but in the end we went down anyway and we treated every turn with apprehension. Especially when we really got to the backstage and the dancers were walking by and we said hi and they replied and one of the guy called the other guy a bitch and that guy called him a bitch in return too ha. Irish people are really matured! But before that, one of the guys whom we saw selling programs ($10 for 1!!!) saw us and he was all perky and cheery, "Can I help you?" and we were like "could we get autographs of the dancers?" and he told us we had to go out, go up the stairs, go in from the other exit, the stage door ha. whew that was really long! Then the bad guy, the head of the warlocks, he's kinda chubby actually. Well, he came out and I was hopefully, whispering to Pam and Eve that he's the bad one right? And so, that man who was selling the programs added, "Yup, he's the bad one, the bad guy." ha, and he walked out of that small place. So, social boldness took over me for a millisecond cos i asked him if he could sign for us. He actually said YES! but in the end he disappeared when we were in a frenzy of finding the pen.
Another incident was after we gave up been sneaking people, as we were hiding around the bend and all the dancers were going somewhere. It was only after when we went back to where we came from and we positioned ourselves at the box seats ha. So, we were sneaking from a higher view at the dancers who were doing some rehearsing again. I bet that was for the later show at 8pm.
Okay, i think i really should stop this writing style. It's like I always include the details and i feel uneasy whenever i dun include everything that happened. I'm gonna try to be brief now. Well, we didn't stay at the box office seat for long because everybody was gone by that time, except the janitor who was clearing the hall and the tap dancers were going through their stuff on stage, which was why we were there, to watch their interesting rehearsal. I mean it haha... A security guard came in after a while and he was eyeing us so we really had no chance but to go out of the auditorium. We then went to the toilet, and found the stage door. We approached it and just before we were going to push the door open, it was pushed towards us instead. That security guard emerged and I really suspect he's wearing a WIG!!! HAHAH! But i found it weird that none of us noticed it or we would have talked about it. Well, i noticed it but i din say anything. So, we asked him if we could go in but he said they had all gone to the back of the theatre for dinner and none of them are on the stage. He even offered to show us that they were not in the auditorium hah, of cuz we took it and really, he didn't lie to us. He then told us to go to the back of the theatre to find them and there was a burly security guard there haa. We then asked him did he get to watch free shows and he said in a really unexcited tone, "we've watched it till we dun wanna watch it already" but that they watched the first show everytime ha.
At that point of time, we were going to give up. But as we reached the curb outside Kallang theatre, we saw 3 of the dancers running like mad and it appeared as if they were going to catch the bus at the other side of the road. I asked one of the girls when she neared me if i could... I din even finish and she told me to "hold on a sec". As far as I know, that second never ended and they boarded the bus eventually. I was kinda disheartened but not for long cos as we were walking to the bus stop someway further down, we saw some other dancers hanging around the back of the theatre and the "burly" security guard was there haha... Again, we struggled to decide if we were to get the autograph a not. In the end, we did and we managed to chat a couple of lines with mostly Bernie haha. Then we discussed about how blue her eyes were. It's a really nice blue, clear and as if it's translucent. She's warm and friendly and has no airs. Actually me and Eve felt that 2 other girls who seem to know them personally but they are obviously Singaporeans were those who "judge" people and they give us the feeling that they dun really wana associate with us cos they din look very natural when we asked them to take a pic for us with a few of the dancers including Bernie using pam's digicam. But then, both of us realized we are judging too hhaa, so we stopped all that nonsense today. Well, i was really glad to have known Bernie. She wasn't the one whom we talked to at first but in the end, we talked the most with her. By the way, Eve even told her to dance a couple of steps for us. She sorta avoided the question but she managed to say that her legs hurt so... Ya, you get the idea like us right?
They had to go in and rest or sth and it's not early, almost 6 and we had to go too, considering the next day was a school day and you get the Monday blues. Haix... haha... but anyway, a little way down, there were 4 caucasians and we could see that there were 2 couples, older couples actually. Middle-aged, to be exact. Eve in her hysterical mood shouted hi to them and of cuz, they were taken aback but recovered faster than Asians (ooops... stereotyping here!) The older couple seemed more friendly and the lady from the other couple sorta gave a fierce glare but we were not sure because it's a distance away. Well, we walked to the bus stop and i sorta talked to this lady who waas selling the programs just now. It seems as if she's a part time usher at Kallang Theatre. Woo, interesting right??!! haha... Then, a little while later, 4 of them walked towards us. That lady who gave a fierce look was rather stout haha, and i really thought she was going to come pummel Eve. I warned Eve and the look of astonishment was really too funny for words haha... in the end, they were asking for directions and we chatted with them too haha. They live in a place near Southampton, it's actually the husband of that lady who talked to us more, saying they live in Singapore and the other couple are relatives coming to visit. That lady usher gave them the better directions ha... Which is to take bus 16 and u can reach Orchard directly but bus 11 only brings you back to kallang mrt station.
So, i can't remember much anymore except the Europeans seem to have something with each other. What i meant was every boy seems to have a fling with every girl and vice versa. Ooops, stereotyping again!!! But it's hard to change this mentality la. Whew this long entry is finally finished ha. I took 2 hrs, can u imagine? But I just downloaded Ares and is trying to get it to give me soothing music to relieve stress from school ar!! haahaa... So there...

But before that, one of the guys whom we saw selling programs ($10 for 1!!!) saw us and he was all perky and cheery, "Can I help you?" and we were like "could we get autographs of the dancers?" and he told us we had to go out, go up the stairs, go in from the other exit, the stage door ha. whew that was really long! Then the bad guy, the head of the warlocks, he's kinda chubby actually. Well, he came out and I was hopefully, whispering to Pam and Eve that he's the bad one right? And so, that man who was selling the programs added, "Yup, he's the bad one, the bad guy." ha, and he walked out of that small place. So, social boldness took over me for a millisecond cos i asked him if he could sign for us. He actually said YES! but in the end he disappeared when we were in a frenzy of finding the pen.
Another incident was after we gave up been sneaking people, as we were hiding around the bend and all the dancers were going somewhere. It was only after when we went back to where we came from and we positioned ourselves at the box seats ha. So, we were sneaking from a higher view at the dancers who were doing some rehearsing again. I bet that was for the later show at 8pm.
Okay, i think i really should stop this writing style. It's like I always include the details and i feel uneasy whenever i dun include everything that happened. I'm gonna try to be brief now. Well, we didn't stay at the box office seat for long because everybody was gone by that time, except the janitor who was clearing the hall and the tap dancers were going through their stuff on stage, which was why we were there, to watch their interesting rehearsal. I mean it haha... A security guard came in after a while and he was eyeing us so we really had no chance but to go out of the auditorium. We then went to the toilet, and found the stage door. We approached it and just before we were going to push the door open, it was pushed towards us instead. That security guard emerged and I really suspect he's wearing a WIG!!! HAHAH! But i found it weird that none of us noticed it or we would have talked about it. Well, i noticed it but i din say anything. So, we asked him if we could go in but he said they had all gone to the back of the theatre for dinner and none of them are on the stage. He even offered to show us that they were not in the auditorium hah, of cuz we took it and really, he didn't lie to us. He then told us to go to the back of the theatre to find them and there was a burly security guard there haa. We then asked him did he get to watch free shows and he said in a really unexcited tone, "we've watched it till we dun wanna watch it already" but that they watched the first show everytime ha.
At that point of time, we were going to give up. But as we reached the curb outside Kallang theatre, we saw 3 of the dancers running like mad and it appeared as if they were going to catch the bus at the other side of the road. I asked one of the girls when she neared me if i could... I din even finish and she told me to "hold on a sec". As far as I know, that second never ended and they boarded the bus eventually. I was kinda disheartened but not for long cos as we were walking to the bus stop someway further down, we saw some other dancers hanging around the back of the theatre and the "burly" security guard was there haha... Again, we struggled to decide if we were to get the autograph a not. In the end, we did and we managed to chat a couple of lines with mostly Bernie haha. Then we discussed about how blue her eyes were. It's a really nice blue, clear and as if it's translucent. She's warm and friendly and has no airs. Actually me and Eve felt that 2 other girls who seem to know them personally but they are obviously Singaporeans were those who "judge" people and they give us the feeling that they dun really wana associate with us cos they din look very natural when we asked them to take a pic for us with a few of the dancers including Bernie using pam's digicam. But then, both of us realized we are judging too hhaa, so we stopped all that nonsense today. Well, i was really glad to have known Bernie. She wasn't the one whom we talked to at first but in the end, we talked the most with her. By the way, Eve even told her to dance a couple of steps for us. She sorta avoided the question but she managed to say that her legs hurt so... Ya, you get the idea like us right?
They had to go in and rest or sth and it's not early, almost 6 and we had to go too, considering the next day was a school day and you get the Monday blues. Haix... haha... but anyway, a little way down, there were 4 caucasians and we could see that there were 2 couples, older couples actually. Middle-aged, to be exact. Eve in her hysterical mood shouted hi to them and of cuz, they were taken aback but recovered faster than Asians (ooops... stereotyping here!) The older couple seemed more friendly and the lady from the other couple sorta gave a fierce glare but we were not sure because it's a distance away. Well, we walked to the bus stop and i sorta talked to this lady who waas selling the programs just now. It seems as if she's a part time usher at Kallang Theatre. Woo, interesting right??!! haha... Then, a little while later, 4 of them walked towards us. That lady who gave a fierce look was rather stout haha, and i really thought she was going to come pummel Eve. I warned Eve and the look of astonishment was really too funny for words haha... in the end, they were asking for directions and we chatted with them too haha. They live in a place near Southampton, it's actually the husband of that lady who talked to us more, saying they live in Singapore and the other couple are relatives coming to visit. That lady usher gave them the better directions ha... Which is to take bus 16 and u can reach Orchard directly but bus 11 only brings you back to kallang mrt station.
So, i can't remember much anymore except the Europeans seem to have something with each other. What i meant was every boy seems to have a fling with every girl and vice versa. Ooops, stereotyping again!!! But it's hard to change this mentality la. Whew this long entry is finally finished ha. I took 2 hrs, can u imagine? But I just downloaded Ares and is trying to get it to give me soothing music to relieve stress from school ar!! haahaa... So there...
