I've found myself to be in the state of nocturnal madness again for the past few months. Insomnia started out for a reason, now it's just become a habit. I love the night, it's quiet and peaceful, best time to do editing but the late nights are eating into my days. Well i figure there are 2 options....Migrate to a different time zone or just fucking get to sleep. Anyways it's been an exciting weekend. KTV with God bro on friday, KTV is like a break up ritual. We always do that KTV thingy when someone breaks up. U either kill yourself from an overdose of breakup songs or just enjoy the silliness of your friends and feel better after that. Well he's still alive so i guess he felt better. :P Saturday we shot for an MTV, well this is work stuff so i shall reserve this portion for my working blog. Sunday was a big day. F1 last race in Abu Dhabi which i didn't finish watching cos I promised to do Halloween night. We've been planning it for years and every year i'd either fall sick or just constipate. This year we had to do it by hook or by crook. V last minute plus the fact we were so tired from the Saturday's shoot we decided to just go as ourselves...scary enough. haha.


We just had to steal a picture with this door bitch. The love child of Yue Niang and Mr. Vampire.....how freaky is that!!!!


The NUM welcoming mascot. He couldn't really move much in tat outfit.


Oh boy....there was really gross gooey stuff in this guy's chest cavity...and yes i put my hand into it....gross...


One of my favouritest ppl in the world. What would i do without Ryan??!!!




Some random gay man we pulled over for photo opportunity :P

Supper and drinks next to the junk yard....lol tats a first for me.

End of the night and super shag from lack of partying for a long long time.


Photo op with "Paris Hilton" ??

Now that my hair is all dried up, I'll wrap this blogging session here. I had a blast this weekend. Back to a busy busy week of endless editing now.

Ha haven't blogged here for a year plus now. Tot i should start. Had a wonderful night at KTV with Aileen, Bro, Ken and friend. What better way to heal a broken heart then piling the Mr Emo Guy with loads of sad break up songs. Thats kinda like our ritual. Break up... Go KTV. Today's ritual was for my wonderful God Bro. what can i say...sigh Her lost.

So i found my new fav song of the season. Thanks to Aileen, now i just can't get enough of it. So here it is. I absolutely love the lyrics.



爱爱爱爱了几回
也明白其中滋味
付出的从来不会等于收回
我却还在等待着谁能出现

伤伤伤伤了几回
也曾经为爱憔悴
爱情里好人总比坏人狼狈
我却还是学不会狠心对谁

男人男人多希望你是好人
多希望用你的真让我不必再心疼
女人女人我答应做个好人
我答应用我一生来换你的快乐一生

爱爱爱爱了几回
也明白其中滋味
付出的从来不会等于收回
我却还在等待着谁能出现

伤伤伤伤了几回
也曾经为爱憔悴
爱情里好人总比坏人狼狈
我却还是学不会狠心对谁

男人男人多希望你是好人
多希望用你的真让我不必再心疼
女人女人我答应做个好人

男人男人多希望你是好人
多希望用你的真让我不必再心疼
女人女人我答应做个好人
不会再让我(你)心疼一等再等
你就是我等的那个人

男人男人

多么希望你是对的人

Ahhh seems like ages ago i last blogged. Been too engrossed in the new addition in our family and of cos everysince we set up the kitchen couple of months ago i've been in a culinary indulgence. Good for my housemates and Justin. Well our kitchen is not exactly Jamie Oliver's kitchen. It's got the basic (cheapest) stuff u can find in Ikea. Then again, it's not the kitchen. It's the "CHEF". So why a series of unfortunate events?

This house!!! It's 40yrs old. Every brick, tile, column...it's 40yrs old. In fact it's been rented out for something like the past 20-30 years. It's cosy... no complains bout that. We did a great job. Or at least i have 2 house mates who are obsess with cleaning. I'm not so fond of the cleaning and keeping things tidy part. Well recently ...especially during the 7th month, we've had a series of encounters, esp in the kitchen. And of cos....my "electronics-die-on-me" curse is back!!! Everything is dying on me. Damn. Laptop, HP, wireless adaptor and quite a number of light bulbs had died on me last month. I'm trying to hang on to whatever i can, i've figured if i threw my phone on the floor, the number 8 and backspace would work again. I wonder how many more throws it can withstand. Contract only up in Jan....re contract next month...so i'll just cross my fingers and wait.

Yes back to our "dark dark" kitchen. Sharon has had a couple of burn incidents when she cook. I had oil popping, of all places....in to my eyes twice while i was deep frying my ngo hiang. A rat that keeps coming in to steal Paulo's food, broke a jar and ate our rice too. (We caught it btw, Justin abandoned it in a car park between 2 cars somewhere in Hougang HDB area.)...It stank so badly, we couldn't keep it in the car any longer. It was huge i didn't want to release it and have it chase me back to the car....so we left it there... in it's trap, in a pail i decided to ditch.

Anyways major unfortunate event. The friday before, i decided to make my very famous Prawn Noodles and why not make seow bak too. I was happily marinating my seow bak on the chopping board when suddenly the seow bak slipped and fell, i was quick, managed to save the seow bak from our very dirty kitchen floor, but wait.....the chopping board.....landed straight down on my big left toe. The pain was just undescribable. I threw the seow bak in the sink and cradled my poor toe which was throbbing with pain and swelling significantly. The pain got pretty bad but i managed to cook the whole dinner. Went to the hospital...phew....nothing broken. The pain did not go away still. It got really fat ugly and black by the 3rd day.





Not pretty at all! Anyways on Sat i went for a minor surgery to remove all that horrible liquid stuck in my toe, doc says the nail is probably going to drop...:( FREAK TOE!!!

This mv is really quite cheesy but very catchy, sunny and infectious. I am soooo addicted to it.




Lalalalalalalal SUNNY DAYS!!!!! lalalalalalalal HAPPY DAYS!!!

One of the nights last week i was HOME ALONE...Sharon and sylvia were all not coming back to zzz. There i was doing my lay out and suddenly at 1145pm.... the door bell rang. I got a shock. Decided to ignore it... after all who would be visiting me at this hour?? (shudder) and if it's the girls, they will call me on my mobile first. 5 mins later. It rang again. Now i'm a little worried. Peeped thru the window of Sylvia's room, no vehicle outside, the main gate was shut. Feeling a bit edgy by then but still decided to ignore it. 10mins later... DAMN... it rang again. This time i decided to call the girls. Sylvia was not going to be home tat night and Sharon had just wrapped up her shoot, she will send her production ppl down to return the chair at the same time check who might be outside. When it rang again i totally freaked out... .I mean who would be outside ringing the door bell for a whole 20mins in the middle of the night. WS offered to drop by to check out. after 20mins the production guys was still not here yet. How far was AMK to Serangoon right. My imagination started to run wild... wat if a crazy murderer was downstairs and had murdered the two of them. When the door bell rang again at 1230 am i took up ws's offer to have him come check it out. Even told him to bring a parang just incase there was a psycho killer outside. When he arrived he confirmed there was not a single soul downstairs...ermmm Person... then we started talking and he suggested i tooK out the batteries of the door bell, maybe a short circuit. Then again he said... if after i take out the batts if it still rings.... i know wat is it... DAMN.... I did not dare to take out the door bell tat night. I couldn't even sleep tat night. It's a very old house after all. Over the next few days i decided it was a short circuit after all, it would ring on intervals the whole entire day after raining especially. It usually starts from 11plus am or pm. i don't know why thou. Mostly it would be just 2 rings... sometimes it would be a continuous 10rings. But i have learned to ignore it now.

2 nights ago i had a dream. A really strange one. I was staying with my parents in our old 3 room flats and my mum kept a big shelf of cats. I never really fancied cats very much due to my allergy to them. My mum loathe them but in that dream, she felt they had healing power, the cats would lick the wounds or anywhere tat is ill and it would heal. My mum tried to explain to me tat the cats were special and i should understand tat they were magical, so i went into the kitchen and checked out the shelf of cats. One of them was dressed like goldlilocks, pink and all with a bonnet even. I mean they were really very pretty lOoking cats. Very colourful. there was this twin cats, they both had beautifully designed Gucci scarf wrapped around them, it was almost as if the scarf was part of their print. I petted the Gucci cat for a while. The dream kinda ended with the Gucci cat. So here is a collection to my very very strange dreams. Maybe i'll turn into CAT WOMAN soon. :P

Had a little BBQ gathering over the weekend. Was actually pretty excited about it for a week then when i could not finish my sunday's edit on time i was kinda panicking...... by 7pm i only had 2 pages up, I was suppose to finish them by Friday actually. Then i tot i needed a little break since i was slogging over the last edit till early morning the day before.... damn, had barely 3 hours of sleep. Decided to just relax and enjoy the party and work on it thru the night again.

I decided to just order some stuff from City satay... not too bad. They even have the saba bbq too, prices were really reasonable, Susan made her famous chicken wings, it was really good. And finally we met bryan's latest flame Bala. Very nice chap. Thou abit quiet, guess first meeting bah. First one and probably the only one to get drunk was Brad. He was totally gone and sprawled out on the lawn before midnight. I was left with Ken chatting while waiting for him to sober up. And the last party guest Lucy called to check if the party was still on and he would like to come. So our very last guest arrived at 1245am. HW had warned me earlier he was a huge eater. 2am.....Brad was still sprawled out on the grass, tossing and turning and occasionally farting loudly..... Quite a funny sight actually. SO UNGLAM thou. Thankgoodness none of the girls other then Sharon and Zm saw him in tat state otherwise how to find him a gf???? haiz..... Amazing thing was that he and HW was wearing the same Tshirt.....hmmmm it's a SIGN!!!!

By 3plus am Brad finally woke up from his coma, i didn't want to tell him tat he was sleeping on a piece of cat shit i tried to disintegrate with water this afternoon but cos he had pulled my hair so hard several times i decided to be EVIL..... Shortly after he and ken left....tsk tsk tsk didn't even offer to clean up. Thank goodness Lucy stayed to help me clean up everything, I was going to rely on Alan the next day but client was coming early and thank god i did not cos Alan house got termites infestation and couldn't make it. By 4am all was cleaned up and i could start on my work..... I only had 2 hours sleep tat night.... Yawnzzzz.....Slacked around and slept most of sunday away. My body clock has kinda gone haywire after those few late nights.

Met Sylvia for a movie tonight. Rule #1, i had not wanted to watch it after the last 2 disappointing movies by Kelvin Tong but a couple of friends had swore that this one was good and very different.
It wasn't too bad. Alot better then the last two, more scary too but it was terribly similar to Fallen by Denzel Washington in 1998. Actually it is the Asian version of fallen. Ekin looked terrible in that movie. I couldn't even recognize him. Of cos...Fiona was abit off. She seemed to be an odd piece in the movie, wrong casting. We both agreed she stood out like a SORE THUMB. Some parts of the conversations i found rather weak too. We both loved the part where Sean Yue stubbed out his cigarette on Fiona's shoulder blade. Think we are just too tired of her fake ants infected sweetness. shudder.... indeed horrifying.

It's been a while since i last blogged.  So much to talk about.  example my NZ trip, it was awesome other then the constant fighting we had to tolerate from one of the couples.  As much as i would like to write about my trip.... i'm not really in the mood for tat today. 

It's been a pretty tiring week, between edits, fencing, clients and dealing with "people" issues.  Yes i'm aching all over from the last 5hours session this evening.  Been coaching with our new jap coach.  Her style is pretty diff from coach.  She does alot more precision training.  So during free fencing session today i was trying to adopt what she had taught but it was so difficult.  Getting the wrist at a precise angle and making my move at the exact right moment. Not easy with the guys hard hits on my sword.  My wrist is so strained from all tat hit.  Selangor open is next weekend.  I'm not really getting any competition jitters yet.  Just go have fun and fight bah.  It would be quite fun since a whole bunch of us will be there.  Wonder who i'll be bunking with. 

During my 10 days in NZ i got to evaluate relationships between 2 couples.  It was an eye opener and gave me some time to reflect on my own rs.  Rs are really not easy.  Communication is really an important point.  And many times miscommunications occur and giving-in does not always solve the problem.  It takes 2 hands to clap and takes 2 ppl to learn how to identify and satisfy each other's needs.  And 2 diff ppl have very different needs.  It takes alot for each to understand the other's.  Sometimes when 2 person cannot understand the other's needs conflict occurs.  Well solving the conflict is usually the most difficult especially if there is stubborness in between.  This 2 couples communicated very differently.  One of the couples... omg gave me headache everyday.  They were constantly quarreling over the smallest issues.  Problem was the girl wanted something done but instead of putting it across nicely or explaining a reason, she just shouts her head off.  "BRUSH YOUR TEETH"  "TAKE OF THE WATCH""DRIVE SLOWLY" "GO AWAY" "COME HERE" the list just goes on.  The husband of cos abided her more out of fear but abide very unwillingly and always with a screaming match of "WHY MUST I?"  She has good intentions but he doesn't know.  He just finds her demands rediculous.  Whereas the other couple.  Although you could see the wife was of a more dominating nature but she puts her point across with a softer approach accompanied with reasons, of cos husband abided cos he knows there is a good reason for her demands.   My man, hmmmm he does not take any kind of approach.  He prefers to just leave him be and let him learn from his mistakes.  Usually it takes 2 tries before he truly learn.  He's just got a rebellious streak.  It's difficult sometimes when we don't agree, sometimes i wonder if i am not seeing something wrong i am doing or is he just rejecting everything i say cos he's feeling rebellious.  Just cos i say no he would want to say yes.   Are rs ever smooth and easy?  I always tot it should be.  If 2 person truly love each other wouldn't they consider the other party before acting?  Maybe not everyone.  Maybe human are selfish creatures after all. 

Oh and Thanks dude for the Marie Antoinette DVD today, i've been dying to get tat dvd...... ehhh... since the plastic has not been unwrapped i assume tat it's "GIVE" hor????  Or must i return you one??  :P  I had planned to watch it tonight but after fencing (ended at 1130pm)  i don't think i will last the whole movie. 

Well good news is my website is FINALLY in the making!!!!! After.... hmmmmm damnnnnn LONG ...... and the effort i put into yesterday's edit did not go to a waste at least.  YEH!!!!

I was feeling nauseous pass few hours and had no idea why and just realised i forgot all about dinner.  Damn......... Think had too much fun learning and teaching bad words to Yukari at class today.  I'm too tired for supper now..... guess i'll just wait for breakfast.... :D  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Today started out just like any other day, abit busy, abit laid back, very HOT and rather quiet day.  Made a dinner date with Sylvia last night and we decided to climb the drain and dine at my regular coffee shop.   Yes how cool i'm a regular with all the uncles & aunties at our HDB kopitiam.  The minute i sit down in the morning they know it's Milo kosong and 2 eggs.   Anyways Cleo joined us too, Sharon couldn't cos she had shoot.

Few days ago Sylvia spotted a RAT in our garden..... yes A RAT!!! yikes.  I hurried and bought a rat trap and set it up with a little piece of CHEESE flavoured nacho.  So 3 of us went for dinner happily.  Great dinner.  Mince pork omelette, sweet potato leaves with fermented bean curd and the super yummy assam fish head.  Very satisfying.  Headed home and all of us decided to watch a sappy korean drama and which else would i chose but my FAVOURITE........ A moment to Remember......ahhhhhhhh.... Jung Woo Sung...... :D.  I nvr get a JWS overdose..... i think i can watch 100 reruns and i'll still be engrossed.   After the movie told sharon we should check the rat trap....... it was really dark..... the trap lOOks empty..... BUT ...wait a min.... the trap door is closed... OH SHIT.... "ON THE LIGHTS HURRY!!!" i yelled.... Once the lights was on i let out a scream.... OMG there was a rat in the corner...... it lOOKed pretty dead... curled up.... oh fuck..... did i kill a rat?? just like a accidentally kicked a snail to death in my leaving room yesterday???  We stood there for a whole min trying to figure out if we had a DEAD rat on hand...... piCked up some courage and shook the cage.... it moved!!  Ok... wat do we do now.... we were trying to decide in between squeals and screams and pacing around the garden nervously...... both of us had an idea.... Sharon went into the house and i went to the corner.... both of us appeared with a LONG umbrella.... we'd drag the cage far far away to release the rat.  we took turns to drag it out of the gate.....then i tot... shucks.. wat if we accidentally broKe his leg while dragging..... so decided to take turns lifting the cage with the end of the umbrella.... it was HEAVY.... and very terrifying experience..... my toes were curled in and i was just hoping the door does not accidentally open up. 

So we walked and walked .... Sharon suggested tat we released it on the road..... GASP.... but wat if.... the min it runs out it gets run over?  I mean i don't want to be responsible for killing an animal.... even if it was a rodent...... then i suggested.... how bout we release it into the school.   So.... tats wat we did..... .....

I've set another trap.... i hope we don't have to dispose any rodents tomorrow...... if not the school might be infested by the end of the week :P

After 3 months of fencing training of which i devoted 2 months into epee.... the final moment came... today.  At the National Novices competition. The anxiety started building up since the day before.  Lost of appetite... nauseousness....palpating heart....wind in the stomach.  I had to slap so much "Ru Yi" oil on my stomach the night before.  All tat could flash thru my mind were the different scenarios i would face and how i would tackle it all.  I ran thru the whole competition in my mind the night before lying awake in bed for 2 hours.  The night was filled with lotsa silly dreams involving me robbing Tiffany's with Andy Lau..... using a toy ball bearing gun and Andy lau using a bow and arrow which has suction at the end of the arrow.....

The morning came and i was feeling fresh and positive.  Went for breakfast after a quick stretch, packed my bag and showered..... still 1 hour left.... decided to take a quick nap just to make sure i'm fully charged.  Reached Clementi Sports complex at approx 130pm.  And realised tat damn..... the matches started late due to computer problems and the women's epee was going to start 2.5hours late.  We started fencing about 5pm.   The red bull has worn off by then and i was just HOT HOT HOT.  4 layers of clothes... THICK ones..... in a none air conditioned sports hall with more then 100 fencers.  It was nightmarish.... still..... we had to acclimatize.  At 4pm the competition schedule was out and I was in Poule 2... not too bad means i didn't have to wait too long to start fencing.  My Poule consisted on 2 strong fencers, the tallest as well as the shortest girl.  The round robin went well..... I managed to get 3 victories.  My first match was with this really really short girl, it was like fencing a kid..... i was kinda "disoriented" at first cos my sword had to be positioned differently to hit her.  Since i was using the french grip, victory came easily.  Then the 2nd girl i was abit worried cos she seem to be really fast in the earlier match she had with this other girl.  I remembered wat coach told me.  "Look fierce... don't smile.... intimidate them before the match".  Thats what i did..... and surprisingly the win was a swift one too.  Then came my match with the TALLEST girl.  I always have this mental blockage when i fence with tall fencers... mainly the boys.  Cos my parry sucks and even with a french grip..... their long hands will reach me faster.  I lost tat match........ DAMN!!!  Then the next match was with Han wen.... a fellow FM classmate.  She's been fencing for 3 years and this is her last year to get her Novice medal.  She's fast and she's good.....and doesn't help tat i was fencing with a faulty sword and didn't know it at all.  Only during my last match i tested my sword and realise it was sounding off slower then normal and intermittently.  DAMN.... no wonder i swore i hit but it didn't sound off. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... anyways 3 wins out of 5 matches qualified me into the Direct Elimination rounds.  Managed to get into the top 20 place out of 43 fencers.  Quite satisfied with that. 

I went around to check out who i was fencing in the final 16.  It was a girl from CJC and everyone told me she is good with her circular 6 and can only do circular 6 so i have to keep a distance.  I was nervous.... so nervous i was having stomach cramps.  It wasn't good.  Finally, it was my turn at the piste.  Tried to focus hard and played my distance very well for the first min.  But none of us was attacking,  she was just backing away and when she came forward i moved away too....then the umpire stopped us... gave both of us a yellow card due to "INACTIVITY" .... wtf.... I tot i would only get a yellow card for swearing.  NO... For INACTIVITY?????  Anyways after the yellow card i decided to be more attacking.  Ran forward and pOked her twice.  Mananged to score a 2 point lead and the first bout was up.  During 1 min break, my coach and friends gave me advice to just attack cos she seem scared of me.  Of cos her coach was there to advice her too.  The 2nd bout, i was feeling aggressive and ran forward for attacks but sword kept getting locked and killed instead.... so 2nd bout ended with a score of 4 - 7.  I had 3 points to catch up which was not difficult to do over the next 3 mins.  But the umpire said... End of game.... i was blur... but we only had 2 bouts.... shouldn't 15 point game be 9 mins?  Then the empire said.... the Yellow card was considered end of one bout.  DAMN!!!!  I was pissed.... the minute off piste i was cursing like mad.  Yes yes bad sportsmanship :P  but i really wanted to move on to top 8.  URGHHHH.  So you see.... watever can go wrong sometimes DOES go wrong. 

So.... i have another year to really practice hard for my novices.  2009 NOVICES..... GOLD MEDAL.... HERE I COME!!!

I should have posted something about New Year... u know... how's the party... wat's your 2008 resolution kinda stuff.... but i didn't.  Maybe too busy.. maybe too engross.... maybe too......

Well.... did i have a good New Year... Yes i did... It' possibly one of the most memorable New Year Eve... New Year day i've had.  Popping champagne... getting rowdy.... and the unexpected.   Thank God i have nice neighbours.  No one complaint about the screams we had during countdown.  Nevertheless.... it's a once/twice a year affair.....

It's the Novice open this saturday..... i feel so unprepared..... having less then 3 months of fencing experience and really wishing and hoping to get at least a silver medal...... Training has been pretty demoralizing this week.  I've lost more then won any matches.  My Octav and circular six is just so messed up, always executing it at the wrong timing and failing to lock the sword... but my sword never fails to get locked and i get so gan jeong my disengaging just go all messy and end up... KILLED.  DAMN.   Doing drills with coach is fine.... i get it... but when it comes to the actual match.... I am so affected by trying to defend myself and hit the blades away many times i fail to attack.... and if i do.... it's always off target..... and the irritating thing is ... in epee... the whole fucking body is THE TARGET.... but my blade just ...SLIDES off.  damn.  Doesn't help tat i get so angry at myself i scream "FUCK" which will earn me a yellow card (2 yellow cards = 1 red card = 1 point to opponent)..... Fencing with Su san is tough..... she's so fast.... or rather i'm too slow.... and she gets me all the time.... imagine... I only managed to kill her 3 out of 15 points... wtf.... and fencing with HW..... haiz.... she's going to be in the novices too and probably going to take home the gold since this is her last try and she's possibly the most experience fencer in novices.  I hope she gets her medal this year.  I know coach says take this as an experience.... my lack of experience is the result of me not reacting quick enough or at the right timing and aim for medal in next year's competition.   But being super ambitious.... i hope to outdo myself and get a medal this competition.... Looking at the rate i'm going... it seems impossible.... but still i'll stay positive and just try my best bah.  ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

The intensive training recently is really draining me physically.  My muscles are aching ALL OVER...... all i can think of is fencing scenarios....problems i face..... how to avoid those stupid mistakes which i always realise one sec too late.  I replay the solutions in my mind...... but when on the piste it just doesn't turn out the way i've visualized.  It's just so darn frustrating. 

Tremendously sleep deprived and still partying.  I've learnt tat i go on a natural high mode during parties without any need of alcohol.  I've quit that since i can't hold it anymore.  I'm probably the only soul around who clubs on orange juice..... ideally if carrying water bottles to clubs were cool i'd do tat.  I've also starting to really dislike sweet drinks..... gosh i'm losing my sweet tooth.....At the party today i asked coach for bottled water instead......  Had a game of balderdash... or wat ever it's called.   Not too bad.  Test your bluffing skills..... think i'm not too convincing yah.  very similar to Taboo but more fun.  Su Sun made the best beef stew i've ever eaten..... I just couldn't stop picking out those juicy mushrooms.  Yumz..... better then the ones at canele even.  Coach decided to play a movie and guess wat, it was Music and Lyrics.   I love tat movie.  Tacky song Pop Goes My Heart.   the dance moves still tickles me.   And the beautiful song (Don't write me off just yet) tat Hugh sang for Drew during the concert was just moving.  I know.... I'm a total sucker for anything with Drew Berrymore in it. 

Urrgghhhh i'm totally party OD..... and once again i did it!!! I have stuffed my 31st full of activities again.   I just couldn't reject a fencing practice and sparring session with su san........ and rushing to buy stuff for the night's party... OMG..... i AM a superwoman after all.....  Why did i agree to shoot tomorrow????  I need a break!!!!

It's been an absolutely eventful 2 days.  Of cos yesterday was the much awaited for  24 hours fencing camp, we had 12 hours of fencing till 5am in the morning.  Coach put on a really old b/w pirate movie after tat..... i was worried i'd be too tired for the next day's shoot so decided to just head home to zzzz.....  Su san got her collar bone poked really badly during the tournament tat night.  It was bleeding and bruised.  Quite drama.  She's always been a fierce fencer.   Wasn't v proud of my results yesterday.  All of them are really good.  I guess i will just go for novices for experience this year, will think of Gold medal for the 2009 one.  I'm the newest fencer among the group.  Of cos those long leg long hands guys totally kill me.  We even did a 2 on 1 match...... Its' fun to be on the 2 side.... but when you have to fight against 2 at the same time...... GOSH...... very exciting loh.   I was killed almost instantly.  Suppose to be training your focus.  Had only 5hours of zzzzz before i headed off to my shoot today.  Told coach i wanted to train for the national team.  If tat happens.... means more training.... well i dont' mind.  Fencing = fulfillment.

 Another super eventful day.  Never knew fencing would come in handy as self defense.

There was a crazy looney indian man at the shoot today.... on of the guest.  Apparently he was drinking his ass off thru the evening.  He had already pissed me off once by grabbing my arm and pulling me aside rudely while i was shooting.  And there was space on both side of me to get to the dance floor.  Then he went to the DJ and told him "From the way i see you, you can't go far in life"  Of cos the DJ got fuming mad and want told him off, then he pulled the DJ's collar and started to talk nonsense and taunt him to fight.  Hannah told me and Sharon to go hold and distract the DJ while he handle the indian guy. So off we went to make small talks but we got really worried when we saw tat Indian man approaching.  Anyways, the hotel staff came too and the indian man was shouting loudly he want to call police...."DUH??"  All this while the couple was oblivion to their psycho relative.  The hotel staff somehow managed to calm the situation and the indian man left. 

Hannah offered us a lift out of Sentosa.  So 4 of us gals entered the lift and i spotted tat psycho sitting at the sofa near by.  He PSSST us.... i told them to hurry in the lift and just close the door..... TOO late.... that stupid guy got his foot at the door and kept wanting to have a 1on1 talk with hannah.  Of cos she refused cos he's just looney.  I kept asking him to take his leg off the lift and let us go.  Got abit worried cos we were in a disadvantages position.  Then asked Sharon for her monopod....... figured if anything happens.... tat would make a pretty solid weapon mah.  : P  Anyways the florist ppl came past and called us to the ball room due to some broken glass, which was not too bad as tat got us out of the lift into a more crowded area, but that guy was still not giving up.  As we were talking to some ppl on the other side of the ball room, he went forward to hannah and started grabbing her hand and wanted to talk to her.  I rushed up and poked him back with my monopod.  Actually feeling very kanjeong but someone had to be fiercer then him bah.  If not dont' know wat else he will do,   I was in my fencing mode leow..... he grabbed my monopod and was thinking next move...kick his balls, poke his eyes..... Luckily the manager came.... Then he said he want to call police again...... ..... DUH........ anyways the hotel staff escorted us to the car park while some other staff restrained him and drove him out.  He just kept shouting at us "You are not taking my comments, how can you improve?" Sharon too shouted back at him tat he wasn't getting our msg as well..... I was so tulan and figured u can't reason with psychos so threw my Ah lian pattern at him "KNNB CCB.." :P

Wat an eventful day........ i'm sooooooooooooooooooooo tired now........ going to crash..... another big party tomorrow.....hmm actually... later.  Yawnz.  Hope su san recovers and fence with me tomorrow..... : D 

What an eventful christmas. 4 christmas parties attended. I've tot tat christmas would be a quiet affair this year, but it's just not possible when you have a bunch of crazy loony friends. So here i am all partied out and totally hung over.... not on alcohol...on fun and sleep deprivation. Well in a happy way thou. Hoping to catch up on sleep today since i'm having a fencing camp tomorrow but looks like i've packed my day out AGAIN..... -_-", haiz.

Christmas eve must be the most happening event for me this year. Had all my friends over for a "little" house warming party on monday. Everyone who had been a part of my life in the last one year or more were there. Friends who made a difference in their big and small ways. For a change, decided not to cook this year. This year i'll just relax and be a glam host for once. Only regret was i was too lazy to bring my camera down to take photos.... thus can only steal shots from other friend's cam.









Thanks to all babes and dudes who attended and bringing Joy & Love to my humble little abode. And of cos not forgetting to thank my mum for the super delicious abacus seeds whom 3/4 of you kept asking me..."wat kind of chai tau kway is this?" For those who asked and when i was too high on laughter to reply soberly..... it's this yam seeds fried with mince pork and some other dozen of goodie stuff . Want more info....call my mum.

Total alcohol consumption countdown... 12 bottles of red wine, one white, one lychee wine, 20 cans beer, 1 tequi-la (Christmas no Turkey... how can? Just tat this Turkey is STUFFED with Alcohol LA.) and finally tat bottle of belverdere vodka i bought ages ago.

Most ppl left at 3am. So we ended up getting real comfortable sprawled out on my new carpet grass. WS kinda fell asleep.. curled up and snoring on the grass while God Bra and me were talking shit till 530am. Thanks Braddy-bra for staying behind to help me PACK up all tat mess and fetching all tat last minute shopping for me, you're a GEM!! We were very tempted to pack ws into the trash bag as well.

Christmas morning i woke up actually.... in the afternoon. Felt kinda hungry and remembered Yang Fa gave me a christmas pavlova and told me specifically to keep it in the fridge and to eat it alone cos too small to share. I set up the table infront of my tv for a Christmas breakie treat. A can of drink, fork, and my nice pavlova. Switched on the TV, "Wow... great a Narnia re-run" Wat a treat. Opened my Pavlova excitedly, wow... the grapes look so perfect i tot. Tried to pull out the grape with my finger.... weird.... how come so hard and stuck.... Pulled harder.... The whole pavlova came out from the box.....I touched the pavlova........ NABAY...... it's a freaking towel loh. And it's a COLD towel..... then i tot back at wat Yang fa said the night before...."Gal... must keep in the fridge ah" I burst out laughing for a long time. so... Thanks Yangfa for a good laugh on christmas morning.......



And thanks dear friends for all the lovely presents.


And quite a few bottles of alcohol which we have consumed the night before. 
Thanks guys, i love everything i got.  SERIOUSLY!! 



Thanks Alecia!  I hope so too :D.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!! :D

What a day!! Since my shoot was postponed today due to bad weather, i decided to spend the day christmas shopping with Vickie. Was in a mood to dress up so wore my new diesel top and wat goes better with it then my very fierce high heel. well... BAD MOVE..... high heels and shopping is lethal. By 8pm i felt i needed a wheel chair. We were both struggling and gosh, it's not easy to shop for so many people. After a whole day..... i'm not even half way thru yet.... ARGHHHH..... The thing about shopping in Vivo is that , everything u can think of is there, but the walk is just...torturous.

Well... one thing for sure, hiring an assistant is the best move i've made in a long long time. U can just switch your phone off with a voice msg tat directs everything tat has to do with quotation and scheduling to the assistant. Of cos i'm so blessed to have found someone so responsible and dilligent.

Well back to fencing. Thanks to Su san for taking time to practice with me, i've finally made reasonable improvement. I managed to beat 2 of the guys in the league yesterday and gaining confidence too..... of cos the super tall guy... i still can't figure how to beat, he kills me before i even get close to him...... thanks to my short hands and legs... BLEH.... and Mr. "Robot" he's hard to win.... i figured with a 4 points lead i just have to hit him everytime he hits me... and i will win him in 3. Hell NO..... he doesn't move much... if not at all.... but his defense is lightning fast. There was no way i could get to him. I'm so getting a huge blue black on my thigh and my collar..... damn. BRUTAL!!! Although i didn't make it into the semi finals (thanks to Mr. "Robot") but i'm still glad tat i managed to win 4 matches out of 8 during the league yesterday. Looking forward to practice next week. A friend who is into martial arts has volunteered to coach me in focusing and gave me this E book to read on swords play. I really want to get a Gold medal for the novices match in Jan. But there are some really strong fencers there, if i can't get Gold, i rather not get any medal so tat i can try again the following year, each fencer has only 3 tries in the novices and you cannot participate once you win a recognized medal. So i'm keeping my fingers crossed. And have "forced" coach to pump me up with as much lessons as he can before the match. I want a GOLD..... GOLD GOLD!!!

Ok... back to the not so exciting editing now..... "yawnz"

Feeling kinda xian today, not sure why, but it's probably one of those days. Overdosed of editing and just feeling rather disorganized lately. Maybe feeling abit lost not fencing since last wed. Well at least i'm going to have a 4 hour session tomorrow. Hopefully everyone turns up for the weekly tournament. It was only me and Su San last week, but it was a great experience fencing with one of the fiercest female fencers even the guys are terrified of her.

I've finally hired an assistant, so tat i'll have more time to focus on fencing and editing and churning out new ideas. I should really be relieved and happy now but i'm just feeling abit melancholy tonight, maybe just worried about W's album, i have not have the "mood" to get it done and it's due this week. WHERE IS THE CD???? URGHHHHH God help me!!!

One thing tat make me happy, looking at my pretty christmas tree. I've finally put up the christmas tree with the help of Vickie, she's such a perfectionist, my tree look so.... "organized" and she braved great heights to get the tree topper on PERFECTLY!!... u know... me and heights is a big NO NO. It's so pretty..... bigger then last year's. I got a 9 footer this year. The smell of fresh pine fills the air. A reminder tat Christmas is just around the corner. A big party to plan for this year. I'm excited, hope i don't tire myself out before the big party. This year, Christmas will be dedicated to all my most precious friends who have made my life beautiful. All the precious friends i've missed out last year. A celebration of 2007. To all who made 2007 a wonderful year after all.

For friends who can't be here ...... here is something to spice up your christmas.... on my expense... : P (Takes awhile to load but it's WORTH THE WAIT!!!!) Go on... laugh your ass off!
For friends who are coming...... NAH.... you're NOT going to see me do these silly moves other then on this website yah. : P Feel free to jiggle thou!!

Post Christmas greetings from Monzee.

2mths ago all i wanted to do was fill up my space. Now i feel so tat so much thing is happening and there is really no space to breath. Not tat i'm complaining. I'm really happy with my "colourful" life right now. But today was just abit hectic. Started the day at 8am for an early early shoot. Not good idea to have packed my day so tight taking into consideration i've had only 4hours sleep last night..... and 6 the night before, the competition has completely tire me out, but i guess i was abit too ambitious today.

Decided to just chill for the day and do recreational stuff. So went down to Pat's to get my christmas eve dress made. While waiting i tried on a few gowns and totally fell in love with this one...... but abit too drama for Christmas right....



Not suppose to take any photos there actually, so have painted out the details. This is a rough shape of the pretty pretty dress.


Love the plunging neck line. elegantly plunging. :)

Well in the end decided on a nice black bustier dress, leaving it to Pat to decide wats best.

Went home, rested for 1/2 hour then packed my bags and off to fencing practice. I am so hooked on fencing i don't know why i never took it earlier. Trying to get as much lessons/practice as i can for the Novice competition coming Jan. You're only allowed to enter 3 times within 3 years. After tat you're not a novice anymore. They had foil matches today and realise tat Jonathan Leong is a fellow "school mate" too. But we're fighting diff weapons. Haiz.... he does look alot better in real life then on TV lah. Anyways i was sooooooo tired by the end of the session and there was still Driving lessons.....which i totally screwed up cos i was just too tired and the bloody instructor was just so fucking aggressive and impatient. Does he has to ORDER you, I just totally messed up. My car was winding left and right on the road. The changing of gear and engine brakes method was totally diff from wat i've learned. And every instead of explaining and correcting properly, he was just fucking hostile and all he can say is... MINUS 2 points... MINUS 4 points... FAIL FAIL FAIL.... Hallo!!!! this is my 2nd road lesson only, gimme a break lah. Don't give me 5-6 instructions within few seconds. wtf loh.... so impatient don't teach. FRUSTRATING!!!!! Anyways i'm totally flat out right now.

Bought the Northern Lights trilogy, i'm going to totally immerse myself in it before catching the movie. Arhhhhhhhhhhhh going to read for a while and zzzzzzzz.....shoot tomorrow.... I"M SO TIRED and bloody aching alll over. Need a GOOD massage badly. yes yes.... more fencing practice tomorrow!!!! YIPEE!!! :D

I remembered the last time i felt like tat was when i came in 2nd during our Sec school's badminton tournament. And today i was thrown into a fencing competition with women fencers who had 1-4 years experience. I was quite worried to come in Last.... then again i'm new so i would have all the excuse to come in last. And i've only done Epee lessons..... 3 times? First half of the day was quite xiong cos there were quite a few matches for the singles segment. But it was great work out thou. Verdict. I came in 26/32 and got eliminated during the direct elimination round. I was quite happy with the result thou cos had to fence with Yvonne who is really good, she came in top 3. But manage to score 7/15 points. So tat was not so bad lah. I expected a big 0 actually. I was really lucky coach put me with a great team for the group competition, i only fenced the first round and left the semi and finals to the experienced gals. Thanks to them, we came in 2nd. Thrilled thrilled thrilled! :D
Here are some pictures tat dear Sam has painstakingly spent 13 hours taking...... well some hours he was oogling. But i'm really really thankful tat you stayed for 13 hours. HUGZ!!!! sistazzz 4eva yah!!! : P

This is the first Jolin album i bought,  I always tot her songs were the Ah Lian fast pace kind (72 Bian) then heard this song at the karaoke a few times and fell in love with the MTV.   Actually most of the MTV in this Love Mission album is really nice but i particularly love this song.  Maybe it's the melody...maybe the really cute protagonist :)
