Hailed as the “concert of the decade” by critics and fans in Hong Kong, this two-time Golden Horse Best Actor Award winner will mesmerize you with his enchanting ballads and chart topping favorites. (from www.sistic.com)

Looks damn damn good..

And after this concert, I shall not bother anyone anymore. And I shall save money!!

So anyone wants to come with me? I shall be grateful for a long time...

Contact me on my mobile (or email if u are that unfamiliar with me by clicking my nick under "About Me" section) by tml 31 Aug ok? Cos I more or less will confirm go leh.. maybe go alone.... I may change my mind last minute lah if no one wants to go with me...

Looking forward to ANYONE to reply me. =)

Video Addict

Shit lahz.... not doing any work at all loh. Watched videos all day long... haha.. Recently after watching the 美女厨房 (Beautiful cooking) with Grasshopper and Jolin Tsai's episode I went on to find other episodes of that variety show and I got addicted lahz. Damn funny... Can watch the show, laugh and actually learn a bit of cantonese!! ( I kept irritating Irene and Jul recently with my damn lousy cantonese lah...) Hahaha...

Due to somewhat-popular demand, I shall post the links of the show's better episodes...

(All from http://www.crunchyroll.com/ because they have all the episodes and in its entirety...)

With Jolin Tsai in it, Grasshopper as guest judges (sorry arh the quality is the same but at least there is no missing part):
http://www.crunchyroll.com/showmedia?id=25987

With Gigi Leung as a participant (she cried at one point):
http://www.crunchyroll.com/showmedia?id=34736

With Ada Choi 蔡少芬 and (I mentioned to some people already) the burning of a wok... really must watch:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/showmedia?id=9176

This episode quite funny lah, though I don't know who are the ladies:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/showmedia?id=9528

Basically that's it lah. Damn addicted lah cos it's kinda funny... esp Ronald Cheng 郑中基 but only for people who can read chinese or understand cantonese lah. (SORRY!!)

And there is this guy 方力申 who is damn shuai lah.. (sorry my weird habit or 癖好 is back...)

In other episodes, he mentioned (more than once) that he is 方太 (The Hong Kong lady who used to host cooking shows in Singapore...ard the time when Yan Can Cook was around in Sg too.. maybe known as [???] Mdm fong's) son!! Hmm... my mum said he does look like her. He used to be a swimmer representative for Hong Kong.. I remember seeing his pictures back in Sydney Olympics...

There is another picture that I don't even dare to put on my blog lo... if u curious u can click here
I heard that he is still the record holder for some swimming records?? No idea...


But don't worry Grasshopper is still my fave... =)

And talking about all that, I got another handsome man picture to show... I got this picture from my DVD screen capture (from the FOREVER GRASSHOPPER COLLECTION 2007 DVD)...

Don't really dare to put it up cos I think or else my blog will look damn pervertic le... See why I say he is NOT UNCLE?? Haha, I know I damn pervertic, but he does look good!! LOL...

Anyway...

I don't like u* for not being upfront to me. It's really awful to know that u* kept me in the dark for something that concerns me. Please, at least, spare a thought for me. If something concerns me, I would appreciate it if u* just ask.

I don't like the dynamics we are in. I don't like the fact that I am always fighting, defending and trying to find out what's going on. If I am part of it*, I shouldn't feel all these at all. U* make me feel damn insecure.

U* still smile at me after all these, as if nothing happen. Does all these means nothing to u*? Am I paranoid again?

The worst thing is, I don't remember unhappiness for long. I will forget all these again till the next time u* make me feel the same way again...

Anyway, my almost 1 month old cousin damn cute lah!! I wanna pitch his cheeks cos he's just so cute!! And sorry to HUITENG cos that time I show u the baby pictures I told u it's my nephew but no... he is my cousin!! I got the relationship mixed up!! Sorry!!
Cheerios xoxo

** I learnt 不行不行,垃圾桶,死了,煮菜,放盐 in cantonese!! Damn happy lah!! And of course the 1, 2, 3, .... , 10!! An achievement cos of course, I actually don't know how to speak cantonese A BIT!!
** First Alex Fong's picture link, second Alex Fong's picture link.

After-thoughts

"I am those kind of people who have a problem of letting go certain things. I need to learn how to let go.."

"You come from a very sweet family. This is one of the reasons why you have things that you can't let go..."

"You have great pride and that is why you can't explore certain things that you want to do. You have too low self-esteem to handle failure..."

Does this correspond to my previous post? That I need to let go of my family and my worries to pursue my dreams? Does it mean that when an opportunity comes, I should just grab it without thinking?

"You are a creative person. New ideas always comes to you. You also have a x-factor, which is why you are most suited in glamour-associated careers. Eg, photographers, modeling, entertainment, events mgt..."

CREATIVE?! I don't know about that... it seems weird for me as I can't even draw for nuts. But I thought of that for some time to go into events management. But entertainment, photography? MODELLING?! Are u kidding?!

But it kinda proves that my choice for major is correct. That marketing should be my primary major and nothing else.

Wow.

Food for thought.

Grasshopper cum Jolin Tsai Videos

After I read my yesterday's entry, I find my previous post damn depressing now. I know I was moody yesterday, but I didn't realise the extent of my moodiness until now.

Time for some little laughter in our lives!!

The title of this post tells all, isn't it? Haha... people who know me knows that I don't really care about the Taiwanese artists... haha.

But I happened to find this video when I was looking for Grasshopper Cao Meng's videos. It's damn funny.

The videos shows Jolin appearing on a HK cooking show whereby the pretty celebs are invited to a few cooking challenges.. And Grasshopper were guest judges of that particular episode.

Watch out for the last video. It's really damn funny... reactions to Jolin's cooking is really funny.

And Part 3 is missing... Hmm...

Part 1....

Part 2...

Part 4...

Part 5...

Didn't get my first choice of tutorials, which was a pity. But at least I don't have more lessons on Mon, which is a relief. Sighz. I am not complaining about my tutorials this time because I can still take it. But got to wake up early on Wed morning for the 9am lesson... shit.

Oh well. Just enjoy the videos... it's really good.

Cheerios.

Me being Self-centred

I am not so intelligent.

I am single.

I am tied down with responsibilities.

I am not born with a silver spoon.

When all these stands alone, it doesn't sound so bad.

But when all these are put together, it does make my life a tact depressing.

Don't get me wrong. I am fine with being single, not so intelligent, not dirty-rich and with responsibilities. It makes me feel somewhat powerful and important because I am able to deal with responsibilities without being clever and without anyone helping me. But still, sometimes a person has a right to think otherwise.

I just sent Yiwen off, like a couple of hours ago. She's off to Sweden with my sec school cum guide friend Aya!! As I was on my way home, I thought, it almost could have been me with them. Yiwen and I were talking about SEP briefly but she was the one who went ahead with it. I couldn't.

Truth to be said, as much as I can be in love with this little island, I am tired of staying in Singapore. I am not asking for a vacation but rather a long term stay in other countries. I need a new life. I dreamt about studying in overseas universities. In US, UK... I dreamt about working in other countries since I was 13. In Hong Kong, in Japan. In recent years, even in Shanghai or Beijing. In London, in New York, in LA. I wanna work in these countries for at least 2 years.

But when I looked around, I saw my family. My parents getting on with age. And I realised that, as much as I want to be selfish and chase my dreams, I can't leave them behind. I am worried about them.

I never told them about my dreams. I know that if I ever put a word to my mum, she will let me go. She will try all ways to let me have my dreams. But I can't go. It is not like I have any siblings that I can trust to take care of them.

And this is the moment I realised that, I am tied down with responsibilities at home.

SEP could have been a great chance for me to leave them without much worry. But without the silver spoon in my mouth, I can't go either.

My hands are really tied behind my back.

And at this point in time, I realised that, despite all my childish acts and faces and masks I put on in public, I have finally grown up. I am no longer thinking about myself but rather the big picture.

I looked at people around me. People leaving for Canada, US, Sweden, France, Beijing. Yada Yada... People who came back aboard with stories. I realised that how life can make jokes of people.

I hold on to the belief that life is always fair. People gained something, but they will lose something. Perhaps with all these 'sacrifices' I made now will in turn exchange into something in my later life. Without this belief, I don't know whether I can ever forgive myself with all the sacrifices I made today.

This is one of the few very honest posts I have put on my blog...

I have to apologise to Rostina. I didn't really make conversations with her on our way home because I was thinking about all these.

It's been 6 years since I last sat on a plane. I think maybe if I can, I shall go overseas for a vacation. Siew Lian and I wanna go HK for christmas and New Year... we shall see whether this dream of ours can be fulfill.

That trip is not the only thing I need to save up. I need to buy the following:

  • Ipod video
  • New digi cam
  • Black pointy heels for presentations
  • Another blazer and skirt combo
  • My Grasshopper Cao Meng cap (I decided on the yellow one)
  • A new big branded watch

I am so screwed.... And Joce, Eleen, Nicole and our dear Ryan Huang asked me not to think about buying the Grasshopper's cap cos it's too expensive with all the other fees... but Irene knows me best. She said I won't rest till I got it. =)

Anyway, I am addicted to another Grasshopper's song. It's called 二人世界(World of Our Own). It's damn sweet lahz. Love it.

二人世界(In Cantonese)

彷彿聽過 誰的家中
床邊遠望是純白鋼琴
遼闊的天地難容納兩個人
幸福半生

只須跟你 情深得很
留些距離來凝望你眼神
無分細或大長或窄有情人
無論再擠迫都可以相親

*最美的戀愛是情
和最暖的一次熱吻
不留痕從來不留痕
隨心所至隨時地誕生

世界很細 你我很細
有愛的空間卻並未見底
能愛你一世 如佔有一切
如欠缺你即使有多少呎多少個家
多浪費*

天空海闊 藏於心中
成千上萬誰能做偉人
完美的生活是能令你變成
幸福女人 (才是滿分)

不須家裡 如海般深
能安放無窮無盡個鋼琴
仍須渴望著壯畔聽眼前人
移近說早安的親切聲音 REPEAT *

家即使多細
有了你深不見底
離開家中一切
欠缺你這地球多闊落都會浪費

二人世界 (In Chinese)

打開CALL機 寸步不離
就怕遺漏了你任何訊息
我要你每分每秒都能感覺 我的關心
翻開日記 自言自語
字裡行間的話題都是你
愛上你的笑 你的淚 你的唇 你的發
和你說話的聲音

△ 每晚反覆的溫習
你的吻和你的呼吸
一遍遍 一遍又一遍
就算失眠也覺得甜蜜
你睡了嗎 夢到我嗎
夢裡的我和白天一樣嗎
我拿起電話 又輕輕放下
怕不小心把你吵醒會把你的夢打斷

曾經幻想有一個家
有日出有夕陽靠近海灘
可是卻只有女主人的模樣
無法想像(有點遺憾)
夢幻拼圖 加上了你
才能拼出完整美麗的圖案
當清晨醒來有陽光 有音樂
有溫暖 還有你做的早餐
repeat △

有你在身旁
彷彿已經身在天堂
做什麼都可以
既然已在天堂做什麼又有何妨(有何妨)

This is the lyrics. Can see the lyrics in the video.

Better concentrate on the match now. Cya guys ard.

Cheerios.

**Shit this post and the damn song kept making me feel like crying..

Birthdays

Ah...August... it's the birthday month...

Went out to buy Jul's present but she could not find the dress she likes...

Supposed to buy birthday cake with Miyuki but I couldn't make it... but in the end we both didn't buy (hahaha...)

Celebrated Yun Ting's and Library Boy (Harvey)'s birthdays at Waraku!!

Haha.. the food was not too bad. But the Wasabi Zhong Ji Mi Ma was crazy!! (All Ian's idea. His idea of forfeit is disgusting... and he has a majong chip in his pocket!!) I was the second last person to kena.. Haha..


Before Jenny and Christopher arrived... and I don't know what Miyuki is doing...


With everyone who can make it.





And the last is our wasabi forfeit...

Oh boy... the fun we had... Cya guys on 31st!!And ppl, those with pictures... I want them arh. In full size if can. Thanks.

Sighz, school starting soon. I haven't really rested enough. After my last sem exam, I went to teach tuition almost everyday (cos the boy got exams). Rested one day then went for my internship le. Worked all the way to last wk before I got a decent break. Now it's school!! Shit, my room is still full of last sem things. Argh...

I wanna a break...

Sigh. Nothing can be done about it. I hope this sem goes well...

I am thinking about buying a Grasshopper (Cao Meng's) Cap. Don't start grumbling at me!! It looks kinda cool and I wanted a new cap anyway.. I like the Remus's Yellow Cap series or the Grasshopper's Black series (shown below). Should I buy it?? Images taken from the official grasshopper eshop website, which is here.Well, I shall continue thinking about it.



Cheerios.


**Btw, I am kinda addicted to the chinese show on ch8 now. It's on at 10.30pm from Mon to Wed and the guy Cheng Shifei is kinda funny!! Haha...

My Last Day 3 Aug

I should have posted long ago but I don't have the time.

Finally, it is my time to leave. Don't get mistaken, I am not itching to leave. It's just that I badly need a break. Well, after handing over the project, I was relieved!! Haha... no more workload for me!! In the end, I was clearing up the room that I had been working in the past 12 weeks and I made Hui Teng to come back to help me!! Haha... We took lotsa pictures ard the room because it is most likely going to be our last time in there.


We were sitting at where we usually sit when we were working... Haha. As u can see, I was sitting on the director's chair all along.


Pretending we are doing work.... but we just posing only lahz.




One side of the room that we rarely used as our picture-taking background!! For some reasons....


This is my fave picture... missing Yun Ting because she had to rush back to NUS cos she forgot to have her medical checkup...... ~duhz~ And I noticed that Vian's hands really damn long... Haha...

From Left: Miyuki, Emiko, Kaori and ermz.... Vian? (Vian, get a jap name from Miyuki can!!??)


Minus Miyuki in this picture...



The view of Bugis Junction from our room - The leftmost, the centre and the rightmost.


Then, we went out for our intern-cum-temp outing again... Went singing and eating and chatting. The singing was funny because Ah hock picked a MARK LEE'S SONG to sing!! Hahahahah.... I have videos of Ah Hock singing but I promised him I won't post here unless he annoyed me... Hahaha... Reached home about 4am in the morning. DAMN SHAGGED... haha but fun.


At Miss Clarity Cafe for dinner...


Miyuki and Ah Hock angry at each other



The sister of our grp... Xiao Yann!! And Yun Ting is the one holding the microphone



For some reason, Xiao Yann and Ah Hock were damn fascinated with my waist belt and they tried it on...with disastrous results...

There are more pictures but it's with Vian... need to get from her...

Hey people, we must do the outing again another time ok guys!! Haha..

Fun Fact: Yun Ting said that during her camp (or something, can't remember where) she heard a Grasshopper song. And she thought of me!! Hahahahaha.... shit I am known as the Cao Meng girl in the group le...

Then Sun went to Eleen's 21st birthday party.... haha. No pictures with me. The theme of the party was headgear and Cher went as a robber!! She bought stockings and put it over her head!! And even brought a toy water gun!! Hahaha... super funny. Forget how we guides used to do that le.. laugh at stupid things. Haha... Vian said I was noisy and crazy. She hasn't seen Cher yet...

If I have the picture I shall post here.

Cheerios xoxo.

**To Yun Ting, I hope u get jap studies too!! Can take with me!!
