hello hello

hello helllo omg i was almost gng to abandon my blog again UNTIL i rmbed i actually had one! hahah. hmmm anw, just an update on the more major events which has happened recently :)

let's see hmmm i'd try to rmb as much as i can.

8th aug - finally met up with tong and dora two of my bestest dance buddies after LIKE SO LONG loll. we went to bishan junction where we ate and talked and walked :)

anw, an extract from dora's blog on that day:

We met at J8 and had lunch at Pastamania! :D haha the place reminded Joce of Joanna (the cheese I think HAHA) :D we talked a lot a lot a lot and though it’s been a long time since we met up, we were still very comfortable with each other :) that was a super nice feeling :) *smiles to self*

Okay so after some aimless walking at J8 we headed down to Plaza Singapura ‘cos Jocepoce was meeting her colleagues there. So Miss Lew and Miss Goh just went to join the fun! :D it was still quite early, so why not right :D haha in the end we took lotsa pictures :) haven’t taken such funny pictures in a long time…

hahah yeah man, sentiments exactly :)

at night was timber with ig and chenghung. i came to learn that the good band i heard previously is called good fellas, and they're really not bad. but this time it wasnt lah. so we just had some drinks, listened to the band for awhile, then zao already...

and so i went ahead to celebrate national day the next, met up with shiguang in the aftrn; we went to play vball at sentosa..WAH TWO PERSON REALLY DAMN HARD. next time must jio qj and cheryl also man! hahah. at night was spent really really nicely tooo. i went back to that huge amazing sound-transmitting structure at marina bay sands which stilll continues to fascinate me even in this 2nd time. wanna go back to play at the structure again! haha.

OG outing at sentosa
met up with the orien peeps- we had a chalet at sentosa. this buunch of pple are really reallly funny and interesting lah. despite me not really being myself when im with them (dun ask why!) and not as crazy as they are, and though there wasnt vball, but i enjoyed the cards and the circle of death, which was omg FREAKING funny! too bad i had to leave early for KL...but anw i was feeling very shag already cos i havent been sleeping well for the past few nights sigh. the most interesting was when andrew and wanting sent me out...hahah. i found myself laughing after i left =D

KL trip!!!
yay KL trip was goood :) with my dearest xiurong and zuxin! :) it was the very first time i sat on a plane without any adult supervision! hahaha. the morning was abit sian though. aquaria wasnt very enjoyable and i knew zx and xr felt my sianness, so paisehhh >.< but then it got better when we started shopping (LOLLL) we went to berjaya times sq, freaking HUGE shopping centre with a great variety of stuffs. had a few good buys. too bad we cudnt shopped longer. and HTHTs with them are alwaysss so good :) later at night we went to this skybar at the hotel. with xr's mum and her colleagues. i was down there hoping there was a dance floor -.- but there wasnt, too bad! haha. i had orange juice cos i thot i had been taking too much alcohol. but zx and xr took majarita (however way you spell it) and mohito (or mojito?) which has a stronger alcoholic taste than those ive tried before o.O so anw! the next morning, zx and xr sent me to KL sentral, where i took the express train and boarded the plane bound to singapore (MYSELF!) lone time on a plane, for the very first time LEHHH...hahah! had a good rest on the plane:)

i arrived in singapore feeling VERY VERY tired and sleep deprived. took an extremely short nap before i rushed off to cityhall to meet marg and ernest to talk abt ep camp. it was SOO embarassing becos marg noticed that i wore my shirt the wrong way and i was like O.O HOW DID THAT FREAKING HAPPENED O.O and i dint even noticed it on the way there?? i must be really tired lah...

i headed off to the yog opening ceremony next, the reason why i came back from KL early >.< anw, some of the impt thoughts which i captured from my experience as a volunteer usher(plus rehearsals and stuff):

1) back stage effort is always one of the most admirable ever. that includes all the performance preparations, invitations, volunteer coordination and blah blah blah. i managed to catch one of the combined rehearsals, i rmbed there was this particular segment MONSTER that i felt was a little childish, in fact not very impressive at all. during one of rehearsals i was stationed at where the eye monsters performers (they belong to the MONSTER segment) are stationed. the kids are stuffed in those hot and stuffy (and likely smelly) costumes. the teachers kept on ensuring that every single detail is okay (which reminded me of my dance days) - safety pins, crutches okay, light bulbs working, feet wear correct size, etc etc....the kids really poor thing. and i realise i (much like other audiences) hadnt gave them the appreciation that they deserved >.< *pangs of guilt* anw the monsters are reallly really cute, i managed to take a few pics with them, and they are officially my IDOLS for the show! HAHA =D

2) communication is really important. so many a times have i observed things not being accurately and efficiently conveyed before we were deployed to our positions that led to confusion and chaos...but they cudnt help it i guess, it's singapore's first time!

3) it's pretty amazing how things always turn out so much differently from the initial plans. when faiz briefed us on dispersal, we prepared ourselves to react to predicted circumstances. the actual situation was just SO MUCH DIFFERENT. ive encountered things changing from planned during my past events but this was the MOST EXTREME ive seen thus far. but well, the most impt thing is to have the flexibility to react swiftly and appropriately and to understand that change, is the only constant. :)

4) our singapore english 真得很丢脸. when i was ushering, i went like "welcome to singapore 2010, this way to the opening ceremony please" with my brightest smiling face man HAHA. then this ang moh was like "is this english?" WTF lah >.< sigh our english is a total mockery =/

5) friends are one of the best things one can meet at any occasion! my i/c, faiz is a really really nice guy to talk to, that i find myself telling him much stuffs. his advice was vrey good also. cool dude from NUS nursing! met another magic enthusiast cum beat boxer cum entertainer who showed us some tricks during our otherwise boring waiting time...and i picked up a trick from him! :) well, really enjoyed talking to strangers (initially) and listening to their short yet interesting stories of what made them who they are today... :)

they were other reflections too, but i guess they're too jumbled up, not so significant...small...yeah anw, things always turn out better than i thought :)

the next day i did taxi survey at centrepoint. finally found time to do it after so long. was pretty boring as usual. in the aftn i decided to drop by project ID,which was held outside NLB, where i met chujie (yay!) and chong tiang, who was in a very cute bear costume HAHA. was quite interesting lah.

omg then at night this SUPER EMBARRASING incident happened =/ i shant elaborate cos im too paiseh to talk about it. but anw, moral of the story is
1) if you think you see someone you know on the streets, it'd be good (maybe basic courtesy) to approach the person and say hi
2) wear my specs next time i go out? (not likely but perhaps i might need to wear them more often?)
3) (note to self) please be more alert the next time, NO MORE sending wrong msgs or do wrong copy pasting -.- it almost costed a frenship last time, thank goodness it dint happen this time =p anw, it reminded me when tommy once sent a sms about ME to ME (who wasnt the intended receiver) -.- and woah, i still rmb what it was about...O.O
4) please THINK properly before you act

well anw, i acted according to my feelings, which sigh, i dunno if it's a good thing or a bad thing =/ well anw, JUST IN CASE, if you're reading this (i hope you knw who you are) im rather apologetic for the misunderstanding，the way i reacted wasnt very appropriate..and...i have so many qns gng thru my mind, yet i really have no answers to them >.< SOMEONE TELL ME TO STOP THINKING SO MUCH AND MOVE ON =D
