cloud moves but the sky doesnt

work is officially ending in one hour and 18 minutes and with chorale ended already i guess ill be having alot of freetime when next week comes. well i feel like i havent properly rested (but okay thats a lie ive idled at home watching tv the whole day many a times before i started work) but it just feels a tad fast that my four month summer holiday is coming to an end and that in three weeks' time ill be whisked away to london, once again, and this time for a very long time.

ive watched quite a bit of movies (and also bought quite a few pairs of shoes, but thats another story altogether) in the last week. 881, bourne, hairspray.

everyone shd go watch 881. i watched it when it first came out and its fabulous how its drawing such a great response so proud of you royston tan! go singapore!

now ive got quite a bit to say about jason bourne. its great to be him because:
1. he has an inbuilt gps system in him. everywhere he goes, he is able to immediately know where to go and how to go and where to turn and all that. even through those little small street alleys which are probably not on the proper gps!
2. he seems to be fluent in alot of languages and unlike me he probably didnt have to spend 170pounds to have french conversational lessons and come out still not really knowing french (although at least i passed my tests)
3. he has endless amount of money, being able to jetset around the world at any time of the day and at his whim
and bourne the movie teaches road safety too. when crashing into a car, always wear a seat belt. you'll come out with minimal scratches while the other guy is sure to die.

hairspray was simply delightful because it has all my favourite actors/actresses in it and i swear the whole cinema, well okay maybe just the girls but thats not the point, swoon everytime zac efron does his little wink :D ahh. maybe its time i changed my man.. but then again a girl needs many different types of man so she can choose better right. anw throughout the whole movie eug and i were so afraid that john travolta and christopher walken would kiss. but of course john travolta only went as far as shaking his booty and he was really hilarious to watch. i loved the dresses in the show. wld love to catch the actual musical someday.
and as queen latifah sings:'cos im BIG blonde and beauuttifull!'

next up: poltergay, marmalade pantry( or toast i just need to have that iced lemon tea and nutella cupcake one more time), high sch musical2 (heh) , ulu islands(nus and ntu), suppers suppers, and lotsa family time. ;)
and meanwhile try to be really truly happy until its time to go back london :)

in song!

and so its over.

after many weekends spent in beloved siglap south cc, the concert's over. im just glad for my friends who came (thanks a bunch!) and i really enjoyed singing the songs. after one year in dusty london i can still sing ;) and i knew all my words so double yay!
although everyone said they couldnt find/recognise me in second row.

so thanks chorale for letting me sing with you guys. i love our sound and the way we dont oversing. its such an oldie thing to do that. i love you laolaos! i really think chorale is one reason why id want to come back. :)
and i think we followed our boss quite well on concert day so triple yay.


thanks to eve for taking pretty shots of us putting on makeup :) but yeah youngling sign is quite funny you should see all the laolaos roll their eyes. well the other pics are pretty blurry sorry i think my camera is pretty lousy.

feeling pretty heartbroken that its all over now. glam bling and fun that comes with chorale :) cos it also means that im going back to london soon.
boundd as oneee in ce le braa tion.

free breakfast

this morning as i was queueing up to get my free breakfast this old uncle cut my queue. right in front of me! and the queue was really long okayy. he simply got out of the lift and jumped queue.
for one i couldnt make out whether he did it purposely or was he simply confused by the snaking long curvy lines of people and didnt know where to queue from. besides he looked really happy and was grinning in that oldman's way.
after he collected his untasty plain beehoon(it was just white beehoon with two strands of carrots in it!!!) he even went up to his friend and said 'BYE BYE!'

wah uncle! next time cannot cut queue okay!

3moredaystoINSONG

feeling rather old fashioned today ;) am wearing my new purchase frm ebay, this skirt which im not really sure if its supposed to be that high waisted but hey im wearing it that way(1. cos its small 2. cos it looks gd that way okay) and yay i feel so proud of all my cheap purchases.

had jap food again for lunch and am having it for dinner later on with my parents. my dad was going on about how soon ill be going back and how little time we have together and i just nodded my head in silence. its very true. my mum complains that the only words i say to her are 'good morning' and 'good night'. that is a little sad. but hey whatever it is i still love them.

its funny but i really want chorale concert to be here sooner than it already is. it felt nice just singing through the difficult scores yesterday; i felt like we were some cult gathering together for i dont know some common purpose or smthg. well at least its a cult that leaves you with a gd feeling, although i still feel silly with my hair.
oh then cheryl got me into a panic attack during lunch when she asked if i can fit into my chorale gown. OMG i havent tried it on yet!!

but nevermind. going threading at little india with eug on sat;) yeah before prac abit crazy and rushed but hey beautiful eyebrows winkwink

hair

oh how can i almost forget i cut my own hair (yet again) this morning and i think i cut a hole in my fringe. yippee. lets all play spot the mistake in jy's hair.

yeah right dont you dare!

blow my midweek blues away

this morning as i stepped out of the mrt station i heard this guy singing mandopop in the oh-so-cool way complete with the angmohfied chinese and sleepysmoky eyes and bobbing head. my god i wanted to laugh my head off. he was in earphones, of course.
then celine dion came on my ipod and i couldnt resist humming along.

therefore, deep down inside, we're all the same people. :)

cold cold morning, and im craving for iced milo! too bad the pantry doesnt have milo.

work task for today: memorise songs!

ive also been thinking about what i want to do next year. or okay, next academic year (its really kinda weird how i think september is a new year now) and im thinking either singing or join some club advocating women rights. maybe both. we go girls! i think singing i definitely will do maybe even carolling ;D will be fun to do it in covent garden or brunswick. honestly ill see how it goes.(i think thats becoming my favourite phrase nowadays, which isnt anything to be proud of cos it sounds lk lazyman's talk) if i end up getting a job then i prob wont have time for anything. and cash is king. so it overrules everything. (the irony considering the convo i had with a fren last night, but thats another story STOP STEREOTYPING LAW STUDENTS)

i actually cant wait for chorale prac tonight, then sat, then (WOOHOO) sunday night. :)

which reminds me of smthg funny. my flatmate lulu didnt understand me when i said 'vavavoom'. haha;) that suak.

okay enough wasting the government's money already

victoooo ria victooooria

contrary to my blog, im actually having quite a happening life. i think. :) i had quite a fun packed holiday so far, meeting people, people meeting me. going to lotsa places ive always heard of but had never went to until now. and well discovering that singapore is quite a gd place to hang out if you know where to head down to. working in clarke quay helps.

and so with just days to go before the chorale concert im trying to conserve my energy by getting lotsa sleep ie. bedtime at 9pm to build up stamina for the concert. ( i know its not how you build up stamina but hey i do it my way okay!)

i started surfing ebay and i just got this skirt. its exactly the way i thought it wld be, but erm. its small. so well. DIETING PLANS. and well seriously everyone's (i mean every single one of my fren (frm sec sch/jc/choir/random) been saying how ive put on weight so im pretty immuned to it already(not). it doesnt help when emma and jianhao points at me during prac and asks loudly 'IS JY PREGNANT?'

the class girls finally got to meet up and omg i just miss our group's dynamics so much. we can laugh so hard about nothing at all its so sillyfyingly hilarious. i think ill miss them dearly when i get back.

im just waiting for work to stop so i can start going out LOTS and well meeting all you schooling people!

updates

okay this is super old news, but i think its worthy of a mention on my big blog.

(convo i had with gabriel chow last week)
me: hey gab you slimmed down!
gab: hey yeah, i know. thanks. too bad i cant say the same for you.

yup. apparently theres a limit to how effective amore can be;)

ive been watchign quite a bit of movies lately, although i havent caught potter or transformers, the big blockbusters. dont really intend to. well have been busy going out and spending money. and national day is coming! preview was really gorgeous im glad i got to go. i love the funky bagg. shall bring it to london where no one will know its a ndp bag;)

sometimes i think that 24 hours a day is really not enough to do everything you want in a day. i mean if you start working you'll only be free for lunch or at night. thats really alot of time gone! and seriously man who works hard for all 8hours at work(jiaxun you're not included in this discussion) so why dont companies just require people to come in for say, 5hours a day, make them work really hard, and then let them off for the rest of the day? seriously people. (i shall not delete my computer history so that maybe my colleagues will get to read this. :D)

and ive rediscovered this song that i used to like alot. stars by alison krauss;) thanks genia for breaking the law for me haha.
its truly amazing how i still remember the lyrics after all these years. i remember writing the lyrics and putting it in my file and looking at it everyday. i think i did that with 'fly me to the moon' too.
so i spent sometime reading up on her cds and i wanna get all of them. one day;)

ive also been surfing ebay( i mean, on top of blogging during working hours) and i keep coming across nice dresses and tops but im too chicken to buy any of them. besides they're not dirtcheap considering they're from ebay. so. nah. this fashion still rocks my world.

singing tmr! i like singing.
(sometimes i sing out loud when im working then i stop myself.)
its not on purpose i swear!
