Lovely Pink Rose

Surprise from No.10 last Friday... came to my office to pass it to me.. hee

Thanks Baby... So sweet of ya... Muackz! =)

P.S. I Love You

Finally caught this show over the weekend... Heartwrenchingly sweet and witty.

Exec Summary: Holly (Hilary Swank) was robbed of her loving husband, Gerry (Gerard Butler), due to a brain illness. Hibernating herself in their love nest in grief, she was only able to begin snapping out of it after she received a surprise voice-recording and cake from Gerry himself on her 30th birthday, and subsequent letters from him. Each letter was meticulously planned to the tiniest details, creatively written and sent, while encouraging her to get herself together and move on... before his death. Gerry even planned for a trip to beautiful Ireland for Holly and her 2 best friends... As the title suggests, all letters ended with P.S. I Love You... (Am not gonna tell you the rest of the story! Hiak hiak)

Love this scene especially:



Holly was @ Ireland as planned by Gerry... She got another of his letter from his parents who were residing there. As she was reading it, Gerry was 'beside her', narrating the content and longing to be there physically with her...

A couple of surprises from the actors/actresses: Hilary Swank is prettier than I thought... love all her outfits in the show... Gerard Butler is HOT!! Now then I know he's actually King Leonidas in 300... **Sizzle sizzle**

The show's definitely worth my 2 hours of cranking my neck at the front row of the theatre. To have a husband who's so sweet, loving and 细心, not just till but even after his last breath is just so out-of-this-world... Maybe I'll get the novel... Catch it while you still can!! (",)

What is Your Most Embarrassing Moment?

Was just watching American Idol this week and all of them had to tell their most embarassing moments prior to their performances... Little did I know that I'll add one to my list the very next day...

Went for a jog on Friday evening. Had brought just 1 key (gates) out for my running convenience, and I left the lights of my house on on purpose. Came back after a while and saw my dad's cab downstairs and I was still thinking "Eh, how come he came back?" when I saw him coming out of the lift. Exchanged a few words briefly then I went up.

In the lift, I was thinking with his pattern, he'll sure switch off the lights.. then a nightmarish thought struck me. Once the lift opened, I ran to my unit and pulled the handle of my door. My fears came true - My dad locked the door and I have no key!!! Walau!!!! I looked downstairs immediately, in hope that he'll still be there but alas! So, I'm left stranded right outside my door but yet I couldn't enter ("So near yet so far" was just so terribly apt at that moment), no key, no money and no handphone!!! Completely helpless!!!! ARRGGHHH!!!!!

Well the next make-sense thing to do would be to borrow a phone from my neighbour but too bad, I don't really talk to the 2 other families beside me and they did not seem to be around anyway. Went to the void deck, still no one seemed to be around. SO, what I did, was to pop into the police post next block, in my still-red-from-running-face-plus-perspiration and full running gear. I hope I did not smell!! Pushed opened the door and Mr Friendly Policeman was like "Hi! How can I help you?" I sheepishly asked if I could borrow his phone. Next best thing? I can't remember my dad's hp no and had to call my brother to ask. As I repeated the number after my brother, Mr Friendly Policeman took a paper n pen to help me jot it down - It was then i realised he is a Chinese and understood all my near-hysterical conversation with my bro!! WALAU!!!

Called my dad after that, he already went past Aljunied. Asked him to come back ASAP, hung up, thanked Mr Friendly Policeman and flew out of that place. Waited for another 30 minutes before my dad reached...

Haizz... So long never blog, to think this would be my next entry... Nwayz, seems like I've already been building up 'the list' since young... like falling into the pool n scaring the hell out of my mum, rolling down the escalator, etc... Betcha didn't know huh... Heh.

恭喜恭喜!!!

Wishing All My Dear Friends & Family a Prosperous, Healthy & Happy New Year!!

祝贺您与您的家人天天开心, 身体健康, 鼠年’数’旺旺!!

恭喜恭喜!! HUAT 啊!!!!!

Had tea at Gloria Jean's after lunch today... After you placed your order, they will ask for your name and later call for you when your drink is ready. Yours Truly's name was spelt like this:

SYNDEY

Interesting and amusing... Made my name sound so much more sophisticated yet complicated. Heard of Sindy, Cyndi, Sindee, etc but this is a first haha... (FYI, I really hate my ang moh name and very much prefer people to address me by my chinese name... But, oh well.)

Toilet Maid

Scrubbed my dad's toilet like crazy last nite... If my toilet is the airport or hotel's toilet, his would be that of a kopitiam. So, I tried my darndest to elevate its cleanliness status to at the very least, that of a shopping centre or my office toilet hee... Ignore the clutter yah, coz I also don't know what could be thrown. Went shopping for my tools first... The photos do not do justice to the 'Before' toilet... coz it's way much dirtier and grimer! And photo of the 'Before' toilet bowl was purposely not taken to prevent loss of appetite. Just imagine the inside is as dirty as the outside of the 马桶.

Before and After:

Scrubbing is a tiring workout! Appreciate the clean toilets that your mums maintain at home! Haha =p

想

"今天有回来吃吗?"

"这样晚了还不睡?"

"厨房有凉茶, 去喝."

"今天不懂要煮什么."

"去拿 piriton 吃."

"起来了, 去吃了再回来睡."

"不会帮忙一下啊?(!)"

Coming home with more than 2 sets of eyes in front of the tv.

Not the silence.

The Squabblings. Scoldings. Chatting. Laughter. Tears even.

All other 人与事 which makes It Complete.

下雨了. 荷尔蒙在作祟吧. 哈.

1st Post of 2008!!

Shall begin with a meaningful and worthy cause. Last Sunday, me n some volunteers from my company trooped to Jln Bt Merah to do house-cleaning for some old folks. Did you know there are some blocks catered just for the elderly? Well, knowing is one thing, but to be there to see for yourself is really another matter...

These units are so tiny and cramped, with 1 living room that serves as a bedroom as well, and a corner as a kitchen with a tiny toilet. The most heart-wrenching part comes when you see this elderly folks... some are ill, some have to take care of their bed-ridden partners, some are abandoned by their kids, etc... But there are some who are old but still v strong ones of coz... Thank goodness there are home services who take care of these folks. We were told that many donations and contributions of basic necessities and food keep pouring in for them.

Anywayz we were assigned to the unit of this 92 year-old 阿婆 who looks like she's just 80. Friendly with a very positive attitude. Her house and furniture were quite dirty and old though. Was wiping her brown wardrobe and wondered if it was white initially (-_-") and she has a cupboard which is 80 years old! Changed her lightings, wiped everywhere, washed the toilet, swept, mopped, etc... Ain't easy, but it sure was fulfilling and a great sense of 满足感 at the end of the day... Not 阿婆's cleaner house for her to live in, but her happy and smiling face. =) The other team went to a 99 year old Uncle's place to clean. That Uncle is alone and taking care of himself despite his age, but he couldn't control his bowels so have to wear pampers... The stench in his house was just so you-wouldn't-want-to-know....

Other stuff now! Had a nice new year chalet @ Aloha Loyang with my vball mates, a yearly affair for us for abt 3 or 4 years now? The place was quite spacious, with 2 bedrooms, 1 living room and 1 kitchen. 1st nite was pot-luck then 2nd nite BBQ and countdown...

Went to Jacky Cheung's concert on 5Jan.. basically its a encore session from last year, so 90% of it was the same. Preferred last year's performance though... nvm, coz its FREE! Hee...

Fish Leong <<今天情人节>> Concert 29 Dec 07

First time got free tix for a concert! Had 6 some more... The pre-concert feeling was v different from all the other concerts that I've watched though.. wasn't excited at all, felt like I was going for a movie instead.
Stage setting was by far the nicest I've seen; more unique and aesthetically appealing. Perhaps Fish's songs are the more lovey-dovey and slow type, seems like her fans are the same genre - damn quiet and boring! I'm not saying her songs are boring, but the ambience was really quite dead, unlike those of Sammi, Jacky Cheung, Jolin, Grasshoppers, etc., where the crowd was already screaming like mad way before, during and at the ending of the concert. Even the few of us were just giving courtesy applause...

Due to Fish's not-much-stage-antics, the performance was enhanced by stage props, acrobatic acts from China, some cheesy cheerleading acts and lotsa balloons... Her voice was good though! Clear and pitch perfect. She sang lotsa familiar and nice songs.. <<分手快乐>>, <<如果有一天>>, <>, etc... Quite touching when she sang <<勇气>>... 阿信 from 五月天's guest performance was great! Rockish and explosive.. seems like it garnered the most screams and applause that nite ha...Me & Zozo actually turned to each other and said 'Now this is what I call a concert!' in unison...

Anyhows...This concert had also 为 my crazy concert spree this year 制造了一个完美的句点... Don't think I'll be this crazy in the near future... yet. Heh.

My No.10
