Little borats

SO ,for the past few days I've found myself a part time job which i'm working together with Chong tuck. The Job scope revolves around ushering and back stage support for the SYF 2008 dance competitions. While Ct handles the ushering scene, I found myself providing right stage support on the back stage itself. Its a pretty neat job I'd say for myself. I get to experience the Little mellow drama unfolding behind the curtains when the lights dimmed out and best of all, I get to see their performances closer then any one else could.


So for the entire of this week , it was the Primary school Indian dance competition. As much as i'm overwhelmed by the distinct differences in fragrance , I'm as amazed by the choreography put up by this little borats.


From the ankle bangles to the seemingly seamless face paints to the ridiculously blinged up costumes , I feel that the Indian dance would outshine the rest of the forms of dances in the week to come in the form of their vibrancy. Well, probably I'm wrong and I do look forward to be proven the other way with the fact that I would anticipate every day of my work more then any one else.

A little clearer vision

Well, its just slightly past 12 midnight and we're into the early minutes of 17th the march, my birth day.Well, the past year was a pretty hectic one i guess. The last year in any course of your study is always the most gruelling part of the whole ordeal i supposed, so people, forgive me if I've neglected any of you for the past year . Hmm, probably that sound just too hypocritical to any of you but i really mean it .


With the official graduation from Sp, I'm also grown passed my teenage years as i hit 20. Jeeze, i think birthdays are great for reflecting on the past , and now that I'm at it, I think its been such a long way through out my teenage years. Now that I'm here, I felt that I've learnt more, adopts a different perspective and of course, made plenty of new friends .


I think it was last year that I embraced failure worst then any time before during the time when My Fyp project failed on the day of the presentation. It was also this that made it one of the most memorable times where by I had friends to fall back on and to support me after the fall. Of course, it was also last year that i met this wonderful lady named Eleanor Tan Yi ling who gave me hope when every thing was in a nought and stayed by my side to listen to my day to day complaints and love me the same still after I end my un-controlled anger rampage.Whats more, she even baked me a birthday cake on her own!


Well, I've not much to say here any more , just a big THANK YOU to every one who celebrated my birthday for me , especially the stupid girl who made the effort to call all my class mates and organized this lovely bbq session , full of surprises, and the peeps who managed to rendezvous a handful to have a warm evening of steam boat at my place. Thank you thank you thank you, i feel like I'm at the Emmy's already. Happy birthday Jc boy~

Situations

I believe in many times of my almost 20 years of life I've experienced situations whereby , an action is required to be performed by myself , how ever , I've got restrictions that clearly forbids me to commit .


To simply type it all out here would be rather, too vague of a description for this sensation I'm talking about. Its not the case that its just a rare phenomena that just disappears into the back of my head . However, it happens at such a rate and impact that carves itself into me such that I could still feel that very sense of awkwardness .


Maybe I'll give examples from part of my daily experiences , perhaps that would make a better sketch of the picture.


Now, take for example some one is throwing a surprise party for you and you are not supposed to know about it. Then some one , who misunderstood the information and come up to you and ask,"Hey, why didn't you invite him along?" Him is some one who i don't really know but i still know him only at the spot where by I've only seen him once. However , this him is a very good friend of the person asking you that question and it really meant a lot of if he was present. Now, this is the catch, you are not the organiser and you are not the one who is inviting people over to the party and now , you are flabbergasted with the question thrown at you. Him , don't know any one from the party except for me and the person asking me the question. OK, from an extrovert point of view, meeting strangers and all is something like a blessing. How ever, you do know that HIM is not an extrovert of a person at all and it will be hard to initiate a conversation without feeling bored. You want to reject your friend but you just couldn't find the right words. That's the feeling.


Probably it happens to you at work as well. Lets say you drew up this banner for a client and it has this tiger you got your inspiration from a water color painting which is worth a few zeros behind a certain amount. So, when your client open up that article she went hysterically laughing and say it looks like the logo for tiger balm.Your team mates were all dumbfounded and some made circles with their index finger around the side of their heads. She went on and asked her colleagues about the article and none of them agreed with her. You know you've done nothing wrong and your conscience tell you so. HOWEVER , your client then asked" Do you think you did a good job" After witnessing such display of emotions from her, what do you think was my reply. That's the feeling.


Now, what is this now. One of yet another defect of man kind again?




What to do

I can summarize life in three words, it goes on...

How does that quote seems logical to you? Simplicity with so much depth and maturity to it , sweet.






The impression I first derive from the ads and previews is that it would be just some other ordinary love show that would be forgettable. However , having sat my ass down for the 1 and a halve hour proved me other wise.

It was a show made of twist, dramas and a light sense of humour between the dialogues. The use of the various quotes from nobles was a work of brilliance and creativity. I won't say that all the characters had carried the role well enough to leave a lasting impression but despite the fact of being out of the stage for such a long period of time, wong lin lin surprisingly played her role magnificently well.

This movie seriously brought much life for me back for the big screen and to think that this is an authentic piece of art produce locally , I just couldn't find any critics in my vocabulary (if any ) for this film.It is touching, I've got tear stains on my shirt for evidence to prove my point! Go watch it . =)

Meet Jj- The grape thief!





This is JJ( Jun Jie) AKA Bee bee (note the similarity from the previous post) . At first glance he seems like any ordinary 1 year old out there so filled with innocence. How ever, I saw him performing acts which one would deemed queer , for a kid to do at such age. Hmm.


So JJ came over to my place this morning which seems like part of the ingredients to make today a great day. He came walking up to my room , bubbly and curious about what i was doing on my desk top. Fooled by his sweet looking face , i let him sat on my lap while i was doing my work and i opened a work document for him to type his gibberish rubbish in. It was something like this ,



ad asdfukfih4iadsjsdm,nhkl3rm;;=-


I decided that i wanted to do more work and leave him alone so i put him back on the floor and expected him to totter out of the room. Well, instead of doing that, he had to press the restart button on my cpu.


Since he is laughed so adorably after doing that , i decided not to chase him out of the room and let him play with my phone. Bad move.


HE started pressing the green button on my cell over and over again. Lucky he was just calling my mum who was at home then.That when I chased him out of my room into the living room where this basket of grapes my mum just washed laid. Then he started picking the grapes and throwing them around the hall looking like some eccentric.


Thats when the house warden came in and held him under her custody. This small kid causes trouble , big time. Cute ?
