Haven't post anything for a long time so just felt like adding a post. Tho I got nothing interesting happening in my life. I not really doing anything with my life oso. Just slacking all the while. Wonder how I going to survive this sem.
And bcas I have been slacking, i cant keep up with work and have been dragging other ppl down. This is not gd. No matter how much I slacked in the past I kept up with work. Sigh. I need to start working harder. At least till i get back to a normal standard. Slacking is fine, drowning is fine. Dragging other ppl with you is not. Can't be so irresponsible. Which is how I have been behaving lately.
Apologies to those I troubled. I will buck up.

Dance Performane
My friend invited me to watch her dance performance. I was kinda upset when I sat down actually, cas the theme was hiphop so that means loud music and bright lights; and my seat is like in the third row from the front, so was wondering if i'll get to see anything but legs.
As it turns out, I got a great view of the stage. Could even clearly see the features of all the cute guys. :p The music and lights were still bearable so it didnt affect me too badly.
I liked the performance. :) Quite a bit, in fact. They included dances with storylines and those were the ones that I enjoyed the most.
duet "Where did my baby go?"
A lovely story about a guy missing his wife while he is overseas away from her. The twist in the story is that the wife has actually died while he was overseas and appeared beside him while he was thinking of her. Was wondering why he didnt notice her around, until they added the news report to reveal that she died in a fire. I especially like the part where the wife suddenly realises that shes a ghost. She tried to touch him but her hand went 'through'. Not for real, of course, but her expression and body language was great, like she was shocked, amazed and fearful all at the same time.
But the star attraction was the male dancer (naturally, since the wife was dancing as a memory or as a ghost), and his skills were fantastic. I mean, have you ever since a guy roll from the floor onto the sofa!?! And his movement was so fluid, as if it doesnt cause him any difficulty at all. I like the dance style used as well, elegant, fluid and graceful moves, making all the difficult moves look like they are done with ease.
Fatal Blunder
My friend was the main heroine in this dance, am like absolutely delighted for her. :) I believe she needs more of such roles since she is going to focus on dancing.
The story is about a love triangle which crossed nations, with two kings or warlords or the like fighting over a woman (acted by my friend). Ending up with the hero who started the war to snatch the woman killing both his rival and his love.
The storyline was clear cut and the dance was beautiful. I like the part where after the woman was snatched away by the rival, they did a split act, with one side acting out the woman being abused and the other showing the king being advised to start a war to get his love. But I wished it were a slight bit slower, as I barely managed to take in the details on both sides.
The finale shows the king commiting suicide and being buried by (what I believed to be) the souls of those who died in war. I found that part more amusing than dramatic or horrifying, really. Think it might be better if they didn't bury the king.
My friend and the Choreo. Same guy for the duet by the way.
In the limelight
About a famous movie star's life. I like the choreography for that as well. They gave the whole thing a very hollywood effect. The bodyguards were the ones who really reinforced the feel. And the main dancer, who's also choreographer, was great. The finale, in which he commited suicide by shooting himself in the head had a very real feel to it. I actually jumped when he "shot" himself. I am very glad I dun often scream when startled. But the timing of the finale act was really superb, the way he fell as well.
Wonder if I should get tickets to this coming weekend's dance but I got no one to go with. *sniffs* anyone interested in watching dance performances?

果然“哄堂”大笑
今天，和教育学院里的同学一同去看相声演出“哄堂”，演出实在精彩。我整场都在笑，而且越笑越失仪态，真是惭愧。
尤其喜欢《好学生、坏学生》、《我的手机》和《子字歌》。《口吐莲花》也精彩，但由于是传统相声，所以比较在意文采与展现表演者的能力，趣味性不如现代相声高。
以下，和大家分享《我的手机》的一小段：
甲：我已经练成了一指神功，一分钟能传三十个简讯。
乙：哦，真的吗？我们来数一数吧。
甲：好，这第一则是b-r-b。
乙：这b-r-b是什么意思呢？
甲：我去去就来。
乙：怎么说到一半要走了？你要去哪儿啊？
甲：我去去就来。
乙：你到底要去哪儿啊？
甲：我说着b-r-b的意思是，"be right back", “我去去就来”。
乙：哦。那第二则简讯是什么呢？
甲：第二则简讯是i-d-k。
乙：那i-d-k的意思是？
甲：我不知道。
乙：你看这人怎么这么奇怪？自己发的简讯怎么回不知道意思呢？
甲：我是说这简讯的意思是……
乙：是什么啊？
甲：我不知道。
乙：怎么又忘了呢？你们看这个人。
甲：我是说i-d-k的意思是“I don't know",也就是“我不知道”。
乙：哦，我懂了，我懂了。那接着呢？
甲：第三则简讯是y-e-s。
乙：这个我知道。
甲：哦。你知道？你知道那你说说看。
乙：这y就是you；e就是eat; 那这s就是sh……
甲：呸呸呸，你在说什么， 这像什么话吗？告诉你，y-e-s就是yes。就是知道了的意思。
乙：那我以为跟前面两个一样嘛。好，我们在说下去吧。
甲：没有了。
乙：咿，这刚刚不是说传三十个简讯吗？现在才几则啊？
甲：好，刚才我们说有b-r-b, i-d-k, y-e-s。那我把这三个简讯都传给十个人，那不就是三十则了吗？
如何？精彩吧？：）
可惜的是位子不是很好，坐在一群小学生的前面。他们嫌我们太高，他们看不到；我们嫌他们吵闹，没礼貌。小朋友们看表演却不会欣赏，偏偏记得一些无聊的内容。而且，有好几个一直踢他们前面的椅子（也就是我们坐的那一排），好像不知道这会干扰到坐在椅子上的人似的。
下一次，青少儿广播演艺组还有表演时，我还想去看。 ：）希望那时会有比较好的位子。

Wondering about relationships
Put my foot into my mouth again. Was teasing a fren a little and it turns out that she broke up with her bf. Aiyo... really shd slap myself for being so... aiya, dunno the right words to say but its a really bad habit like that. Like ppl dun have other things worth mentioning.
Its really hard to maintain a gd relationship. You see couples happily married and you see breakups and you see ppl managing in between. A lot of factors have to be taken into consideration. Any common interests? Are your views on the future the same? Each others' habits, likes and dislikes. How much are you willing to compromise and what you abolutely cannot accept?
What do you do when things clash? Give in or insist?
What do you do when u all get distant? Say in a long distance relationship or simply bcas you've been dating for too long and things got a bit stagnant?
I think there's no correct answer. It all simply amounts to how much does it matter to both parties and how hard are they willing to work for it.
In novels, the heros and heroines dun have that many mudane problems. Why? because then no one will read it of course. Therefore they are usually rich or in cinderella situations. All monetary problems solved. Dun have to worry if you earn enuf to buy a house, pay wedding dinner and bills. They all get along very well. No fights over who does housework and who has to stay at home and look after kids. You have money, you have servants. You and ur love can happily spend time doing anything you want or blissfully doing nothing but enjoy each other's company.
Reality is a lot different.
Do you follow your dreams or do you want to eat? Can your love really be substained on water alone? Or even on basic necessities?
Sometimes ppl are so blinded they bit off more than they can chew. And sometimes ppl are so frank they hurt each other and ruined what they have. Sometimes its a single party fighting a losing battle.
Love has been a popular topic over many years. I think the reason its still popular, its cas the perfect solution doesnt exsist. Everyone must search for their own solutions, and you will nv noe if it is perfect. You will only know if it is not.
Right now, I must mention that I am really impressed by my parents who have been happily married for over 20 yrs. Its not easy and I want to thank them for maintaining their relationship so well and giving my sis and I a happy and complete family.
Really want to thank my bf too, for hangging in there with me. I know i'm troublesome. Let's continue to work hard dear. And thank you very much for loving me.
Sorry to all those who are reading for getting kinda mushy. :P

Fussy but responsible bus driver
Do not stand on the upper deck of the the double decker bus. That's the rule of Singapore's Public Bus transport. Today the bus is super crowded. I managed to get a seat but after that the bus was totally filled up. So some ppl started standing on the upper deck. You know how its like with singaporeans. We know ppl are doing something wrong, but we dun really dare to tell them off.
On my ride home, the bus driver came up to the upper deck to tell ppl of 3 times. Each time, he stopped at the bus stop, and climbed up to the upper deck to get the passengers to go down. Hmm... he wasnt too nice about it, since he shouted at them a little. But its nice to see ppl doing their jobs and being responsible about it. Good job Mr Bus Driver. :)

I tired
I'm freakingly tired. Spent two days running around. I better have slim down a bit after helping to carry stuff and running about. Sigh. Its not so physically draining then mentally draining tho. Caz we did take taxi when carrying the heavy stuff. Lol, in fact I took taxi 3 times in these 2 days, and the last time I took taxi was like say April maybe? And as usual, I've started ranting before explaining what am I ranting abt again. Okay, let's backtrack a little.
I've been helping my mum. These 2 days have been doing a lot of buying, carrying, rearranging and some cleaning. My mum is a very last min person. She suppose to start work on coming Monday and she left so many things till last min. Sat and Sun she's not free some more, so these two days were a mad rush to try and finish everything. And since we had to buy lots, and there were rather bulky stuff, we had to take taxi. No way a bus would work and I must say I'm very glad we didnt have to attempt that.
Anyway, she cant start on Monday now, due to some problems. Personally, I think its a blessing in disguise, cas she gets one more day to prepare. But she seems to be put off by it.
Sorry if all these is still extremely vague, but its mainly my mum's business and I dun think I shd say too much. But still I wanted to complain a bit. Two days all gone! *sobs* And I'm so tired. Sigh.

Sigh
Took some random photos today, wanted to put them as today's entry but forgot to bring the cable. Oh well.
My bf is angry at me again. Sigh... wish he doesnt get pissed off so easily. We havent settled plans yet oso, need to confirm by tmr. Wonder if can manage.
I'm tired and slpy but I dun feel like slping. So sian. Why must I have lesson tmr? I really dun like the cher. And need to bring laptop oso. So troublesome. :(
I wonder if I should change the setting on my blog so strangers can find me after all. Its so boring when no one comments. I know my blog isnt very interesting. But I'll like a bit of interaction too. Or am I the only weird one in this world so no one noes what to comment to my stuff?
