Tuesday, July 12, 2005 0 comments Post a Comment i am laying on my belly on new bed. Laying on your belly makes you really warm somehow. I think that's cause our belly and our 'front-er' half our body is used to being exposed to air when we are lying down. I get really warm and i'll actually start sweating even if i am in an aircon room. But i have to lay on my belly cos i'm using my laptop on my bed. i could sit up and use it but my mouse and mousepad would not be at the same height and i don't like that. oh for all of you who don't know yet, i've moved out from home. i'm known as 72 Fang2 Ke4 to my family members cos i moved over to my granddad's place which is only 5 min drive away from my place. No no i didn't run away from home or anything, its just that my brother returned from Sweden and i no longer have his bed anymore. My granny and my maid take my room now and i cannot sleep on di2 lam1s anymore. So i decided to take up this vacant room in my uncle's semi-d. So i'm on my laptop now. IBM T43. I think its cool. Who says black is boring and ugly? Its BLACK - come on. its the most consistent colour ever. Professional and hardy. That's all i need. Remembering what all my friends said bout IBM being ugly.... *sneers* Only kids like white and silvery laptops. Cannot make it. haha. So i get to stay up to 3 am as and when i want to. Come home at any time i like. Its like a sneak preview for my next four years of overseas' studies. My only concern is whether i spend enough time with my granddad who lives here. I go home almost everyday so don't worry about me not seeing my parents. Weekends are for them too. It has been quite a mad rush lately. All the MOE ahem... work and preparation for our (paul and me) gig @ muchuan and stuff like laptop claims and files transfer (PC to laptop) and meeting for mahjong sessions and yaterdididdi god knows wat. And what's coming is worse. This week Wed(tmr) - gig @ muchuan (not without rehearsing @ 3/4 pm w paul) Thurs - bringing my cousin keean (yep the cute little rascal) out as i promised (or should i say , "COS i promised" haha. aiya. really a bit busy mah....) i intend to bring him to beach road army market cos he does love army stuff and er... i need to get my solid fuel. (lou> i know u're going to lompang me when u see this. gr.) Fri - Induction programme ( many. many. talks. and more rehearsals. TIAN ah.) Saturday - Monday - 3 Day OBS (yes. obs again. don't ask.) Next week Tues - Predeparture programme Wed - MOrE Predeparture programme Fri - Class outing! yay! 01S21 (zzy> PLEASE REMEM THE DATE) ok but i seriously hope i can make it... i might not cos there might be MOrE rehearsals. Sat - Cooking classes (part of MOE's predeparture programme) Ok that's for these 2 weeks. Now the muchuan gig. I really hope i didn't lose my voice cos i stayed up all night last night for mj at jj's house. (won $9! wooooooo~) I get real jittery before such stuff, yes yes believe it or not. (contrary to MUILIAN'S belief ... *snarls*) well being song ic for hcjc just made me less stage-frightened (haha. cute term) but still i get all these insecurities (my voice not anything else u nincompoops) before the actual day. i even get nightmares. haha. its quite exaggerating. I still don't know who i can be expecting besides Melod and Zhao(?) who confirmed they are coming. (thanks babes. melod for being diehard. and zhao for not minding to come down although you gotta fly off in a few hours) Expecting a few "Oh zy, i'm sorry i can't come! i really really want to come...but i really have sth on" or the equivalent. Not that i mind, haha cos i am pretty stressed already. I don't mind cocking up in front of strangers. I wonder if everyone's like that? I think most ppl mind cocking up in front of strangers but i dun give a damn for strangers but i want my friends to have a good time. So if noone comes its good. If people come its good also. Basically im just happy im performing and as yangwen told me once , " Just have fun. " which is true. not going to let all the performance stress get to me but that doesn't mean i can eat durians. I hope mu chuan can find a way to fit in all the guests since there will be a few groups of performers, i'm sure its going to be quite packed with respective supporters/friends. hmm. my extended family might be making a excursion down. (covers face and groan : they get REAL wacky. even more than you kids.) a month and a week before i leave for shanghai. nothing seems to be setting in yet. not that i am expecting anything. haha. except my grovelling friends with their teary farewells and endless ding1 ning2's from my family. *wink* -PLEASE DON'T THINK I'M HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!!- i think people really don't understand! they think that just cos ppl say I can sing, I will want to sing every song! I have preferences too! Zou Wen Sen (Boon Seng)! ( as i described it to him : its like asking you to direct PCK e musical.) the person who SABOTAGED me and nominated me with a very innocent straight face saying (in all sincerity) : I think zheng yi can sing. Its just cruel. I absolutely abhor the song. It is tuneless. the lyrics are bullcrap and i hate singing songs i hate! this is retribution for all the bitching behind the scenes. (looks sadly at lou) Okay okay. it isn't THAT bad. it is BAD. but not THAT bad. cos i'm lucky that my REAL friends (ie not boon seng) like K managed to get another friend to sing with me: T! *smiles spastically at lao po. smiles again. more spastically* but still. im a grump trump now. i have been dragged into the ... dark side. *mourns* and on tis topic, its just sad to see people with nice voices who so desperately wants to show their voices off regardless of whether they like the song or not. its distasteful. its an insult to people who like to sing. so you may be sarah brightman. but you're singing toxic. good fer you. i am drowning in this... sea of love. (private joke) (looks at adele and zhao and makes a really sour face) oooh i better scoot. meeting melody and zhao to watch Sekai No Chushin de, Ai Wo Sakebu THE movie. I love having movie cliques. If only dele was around too. :| 7/12/2005 05:16:00 PM
