a*mei concert

A*Mei rulezzzz!!

Her concert @ the indoor stadium on 4th Oct was a blast! She was saying that we, the audience, were shouting and screaming all the time, not tired meh? But she herself was so energetic throughout the concert, how can we not be high??

Some memorable ones...

1. When she sang “后知后觉” in memory of Zhang Yu Sheng, i personally felt that she put her emotions most in this song.

2. She had some chicken rice and tow-geh before her performance... she was asking how to pronounce tow-geh and she had a whole plate of it to herself! Mel asked "Taiwan dun have beansprouts meh??"

3. She had the audience high with her fast songs, especially “3天3夜” at the end! How come people can sit down throughout her fast songs one?? "Bad Boy", “姐妹”, “牵手”, its time to dance!!

4. She sang Alicia Key's "If i ain't got you" and some Jap song, which were a Singapore special! Oh and an impromptu chorus of Stefanie's "Tee Oh Oh"!

5. She involved many SG in her concert e.g. kewei and lin qi yu as her backup vocals!

3. “维多利亚的秘密” had the intro with 4 hunky strippers stripping!! Haha! And they had this naughty "bed scene". Oh she was facing our side =PPPPPPP

I like where I was sitting, coz she faced our side quite often. Too bad we couldn't see her face clearly (2nd most exp liao)...



Me and mel, high and shagged after the concert! Erm maybe not that shagged since we still went somewhere to play after that... ^^



Dav had a little grouse though, coz he was waiting for "牵手", but the song that was performed was a less rock version.




Wil and Dav's frd also went for the concert! From what I saw, they should be having fun too!

Eh no, I didn't take any photos of the concert itself... It's in my memories!

hari raya!

I love public holidays! I get to sleep in, catch my TAR, ANTM and Survivor on youtube and go to the gym for a while. (oh btw, Selamat Hari Raya and Happy Children's Day!)

Speaking of gym, I see Mr Julxxx Hxx quite frequently in the gym lately. He's really quite tall and hunky. U know gyms have those TVs playing Ch 5, 8 and U, so I was wondering what if Julian happens to be working on one of those machines facing the TVs, and the TV just happens to be showing a show with him himself in it?

How would he feel? "Arrgh!! "? Or "I look so good!"? Or "My acting.... *sigh*" (oops...)

If it were me, I think I would be quite awkward to see myself on TV in public.

But then again, it will not happen to me -_-

Sometimes I go to work via those premium bus services. I love it 'coz I get to sit and sleep to work, the bus is hardly crowded, it's very cool and it takes only about 30 - 40 minutes to reach my office.

And the bus captain is also very friendly. On one certain day...

Bus Captain: (smiling) Good morning everybody! Good moring! And sorry for yesterday ah, so sorry...

I was also on the bus the previous day leh, but I really have no idea what happened on the previous day. Too premium service, too confusing...

monday in office

It's easy to get hungry in office, so sometimes I'll just buy a loaf of bread and eat in the office at my own seat. And share with my neighbour.

So today I bought a loaf of bread and brought to work. And at work...

Neighbour: *takes out the bread on the table and eat*
Me: Wah so fast!

I thought she automatically open my bread and eat (we always very automatic one...), but when i look into my bag

*gasp*
Me: I thought u opened my bread!
N: What? No i bought it!
Me: *took out my bread* We bought the same one!



Gardenia Banana and Walnut bread!

And my neighbour's birthday is just 6 days after mine. Maybe that explains our similar taste!

+++++++++++

Later in the day, I was telling my neighbour that Kylie Minogue is coming to SG for concert.

She dun believe me when I told her how much the most expensive tix were going for.

U make a guess?

S$550!!!

That's called the DIVA pricing...

Traning

Was on external training last thurs and fri and also this thurs and fri. As understood from my colleagues who went for it previously, it's good. (Where got training not good one??)

Colleague: Shiok right?
Me: Yeah! Lunch break 1.5 hrs, got 2 15-min breaks with snacks and tea, go home at 4.30, can wear jeans and casual! And the questions they ask, more or less we know already...

But... honeymoon period ending soon =(

=.=.=.

Having bouts of diarrhoea these few days. I wonder if it's due to those China food... But I checked all the food labels, appear to be safe... Or maybe it's just something I ate.

=.=.=.

Got a call from a client who was questioning our bill. I just should not have put that dubious item in the first place. At least client was not that nasty, but made me spent time on it... Sigh. Wonder if it will be resolved when I return to the office on Monday. *prays*

Client management. Not easy.

guitar?

I learnt how to play the keyboard, I also know some guitar, but if i have to compare, I think my guitar skills are better than keyboard.

I know both instruments, but am a master of none.

I wanted to learn the keyboard/piano before, coz I thought it's very romantic to do so, especially when playing for someone. But now, I somehow prefer the guitar more. Maybe it has to do with how portable it is. I can bring it with me everywhere I go, more convenient than a keyboard. I can play it unplugged, I can play it standing, siting ot walking around, and I realise there is so much depth in guitar playing.

不同的感觉。

Just some thoughts.

People go

With the peak over, a typhoon of white letters swept across my dept. A SM, 2 seniors, 1 admin staff (for other reasons).

And I was one of the last to know coz I was not in office for the recent few weeks.

Oh well.

The straits times special feature - transsexuals

I was quite surprised at today's The Straits Times' special feature on transsexuals.

The GLBT (stands for Gays, Lesbian, Bisexuals, Transgender) society has traditionally not been put in a good light by the local media. Sometimes I'll read a few comments or articles which are positive (which I deem that the media finds it necessary to maintain a balance) but largely, it's still mostly unbalanced.

The special feature in the papers talks briefly about why transsexuals want to go for the sex change op, the problems transsexuals face in our society and there are also a few interviews with some transsexuals. Most importantly, the article brings home the issue that transsexuals have always existed in our society, whether we like it or not, and that we should not discriminate them.

I do hope that the report will open the eyes of many people in the society who do not know much about transsexuals and simply assume that they have a problem. Although our society is termed as one of the more advanced societies in terms of tech and economic development, some areas are still lacking in progress. Because of the various laws and checks and unseen boundaries, there is still a degree of homophobia in our society today.

I think that transsexuals would face more problems more than gays, les and bis. The op will change their lives forever as it's not reversible. Doing the op means out-ting to everyone what they are feeling and threaten them from being thrown out by families and severing of ties with friends who do not understand them. Not like gays, les and bis who can choose to be closetted and to lead a second live at night. Also, there's the high cost of the operation and how society looks at them.

In fact, even gays, les and bis may not understand how a trans feels, what more about straight people... I myself have known more about trans through the report. Kudos to The Straits Times for it.

My home has been very slow in upgrading our cable to digital.

Now when everyone is going for HubStation, we only start to upgrade from analogue to digital. I was a bit embarrassed in the Starhub shop when other customers brought their digital set-up box to exchange for the HubStation, while I brought my old black analogue box to exchange for the digital set-up box.

One reason for delaying our upgrade is that my fanily members are already accustomed to using the old box. The digital one can prove to be a bit hard for them to use, and indeed, it's abit complicated...

Now, still in the stage of switching channels. And determining if the box is on or off.
