A Day in the Life of...

"Zhong Hua Ying Xiong" (aka Chinese Heroes) night is approaching in 11 days' time! I'll be acting as Mulan in the Region A drama. Still feeling a lil' jittery 'cos this is my first time acting in church so if you can, come for the event okayee! Ask me for more details!

And Yee, I don't think we are allowed to videotape the drama 'cos I think it's prohibited so you'll have to go if you wanna see me "live and acting like a woMAN"...haha!

Actually, it's an adaptation of the Disney Film, a more contemporary setting without losing its essence. For now, the cast and the script is more or less settled...the soldiers are really a motley crew of...hmmm..adolescents...haha! And the Good General's not as bad as I thought (phew!)

Did part of the choreography at Pastor Quee Beng's place just now, even though I feel that they could be a little more synchronised. This might get better over time though, when the guys are getting more familiar with their roles. Hmmm, better not reveal too much lest it breaks the suspense! XD

Class gathering yesterday, mainly cos Rach's back (another excuse to meet up!) Waraku's food sucked! Miso Ramen was so salty!!! Maybe that's why they used the big,ostentatious-looking bowls to make up for it....argh! And Paulaner was great but I was slightly groggy by then...


More pictures on FB!

Moon River

This version's one of the nicer ones found so far. Makes for some good late-night listenin' (except for the part at 0:44 where she went off-key!)

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going, I'm going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

Updates, downsides,uphills,backtracks...

First of all, to the people who asked about the Mt Faber Run, thanks for your concern and support! :)

The run was definitely more challenging than the previous one due to the slopes. Because of them I couldn't endure as long as I would like to and I ended up stopping to walk periodically! And cos of that my timing deproved! :( Anyway,it was a good experience....too bad I couldn't linger to appreciate the scenery from Mt. Faber! Saw many more fit people who had iron and steel for muscles and bones. They ran like clockwork, not to mention the "unique" warmups they conducted prior to the race! XD Thought I saw Kai Ning there but my eyes might just be playing tricks on me....

Anyway, this week might be my last week of freedom, depending on the circumstances....haha...

Sab's doing her recording for the vocal demo tomorrow, can't wait to see how it's like! Was really inspired and motivated when I saw her live during the dance recording. She's gonna teach me one day! Woohoo!

Gotta run now, stay healthy everyone! The weather's a killer these days...

YAY! I GOT NDP TICKETS FOR THE ACTUAL DAY! :D:D

Almost screamed into the phone when the person called to inform me about it. Imagine how the winner of Miss Universe must have felt, or even the winner of Singapore Idol! XD Could tell Charlie Brown was ecstatic too cos he was the one who told me to try balloting for it :D

Sentosa yesterday with Elizabeth. My sunburnt arms are tingling and starting to feel itchy...Realised that I haven't been to Sentosa for ages so, many changes made! (My first time taking the Sentosa tram from Harbourfront. Quite noob I know!)

My favourite shot! XD

Wanted to be all touristy and explore Fort Siloso and Underwater World but can't bear to part with what little cash I had...I wonder how tourists will rate Sentosa man. Nothing much unless you love the beach, at least until the IRs and the theme parks are up.

Anyway, church camp was great although the place was a lil' too secluded, which means no shopping (the nearest mall was 15 mins' drive away) and no late-night suppers. Actually there wasn't a need for supper cos the frequency of our buffet-style meals and the quantity and quality of the spread, ensured that we remain as healthy and prosperous as prized pigs. Sadly, the only form of exercise I got was a 2-hour leisure swim with Wenyi, Norina, Christine,etc...which didn't really help much. Could have gone to the gym like the others but I had limited clothing.

Another interesting fact: the hotel had a manual wake-up call service. Usually, when we dial Reception and ask for wake-up call, they'll just set a programmed call for the next morning, but this one actually sends the staff to knock on your door to wake you up! XD

*Doorbell rings at 6 plus in the morning*
Me: (shuffles to the door in my PJs, complete with messy hair and sleepy eyes, opens the door)

Who's that?

Staff: (in a cheery voice) Morning! This is your manual, wake-up call service! :D

Me: =_=

Morning and night services were great, wished I had more energy cos strangely, I kept feeling tired and lethargic throughout the camp even though I didn't do much (I suspect the sudden change in my sleeping habits could be the cause) Nevertheless, it was an insightful experience...

My sister got stopped at Singapore customs on the way home due to her higher-than-usual body temperature. In light of the H1N1 incidents, they have this heat scanner devices at immigration to quarantine anyone who falls in the high-risk level. Could tell my sis was shocked but they released her and gave her the usual advice to lower her temperature.

Missed home a lot though and I'm glad to be back! :D

Ps: Imogen Heap's album "Ellipse" will be out in August...WOOOHOOO! How timely! :D
