2009 Chinese New Year

Every year without fail, on chinese new year eve we would head down to Chinatown to sweep out those cheap goodies. Actually not really, we just wanted to have the feel of Chinese New Year that kind of thingy.

Not leaving out this year, we went too. However, only when we stepped out of the building we realised that it was drizzling. Not to be dishearted, we hold the thought that maybe its not raining there. But to our dismay, it is. And there's no point holding a brolly and squeezeeeee right. So we went back home. Somehow its a pity, but on the other hand i was completely drain-out so going home was not a bad idea afterall.

2 days of house visiting has got me all hype up. Don't ask me why, coz i have no idea too. Have been stuffing myself with all the chinese new year goodies. (read sidenote)

Sidenote: Diona must be swearing "sinful sinful sinful"

But personally i dont think eating is sinful and instead its a blessing. But still, it depends on individual. Chill diona :D

On Sunday, the entire lot of my relatives came to my house for dinner as well as "Lao yu sheng". I'm glad that they are very satisfied with our new home. Its always heartwarming to see all my relatives gathering together. And the best thing about tonight, my grandma is happy. She has been smiling and lauging all the while. Its been awhile seeing her so happy.

I enjoyed my new year. do you?

Updates

Im back after a long, tedious week. Here i am, going to recount my activities for the whole entire week. Sit back and enjoy.

Sunday, 18th jan

We'd officially moved to woodlands after a week of washing, and painting. Yes, our stuffs are back where we had deposited them at some warehouse when we were back staying at hougang.

Monday, 19th jan

School. Afterwhich, headed over to aljunied together with xvan. Throughout the journey there, i was doing all the talking. As he was feeling rather low with his 'lack of fringe'. Hence, we trained down to far east to have his hair extensions done. Immediately, there's an evident 360 degrees change in his mood. And he became very chatty after that.

Late in the evening, met up with gillian and sister at Raffles City shopping mall. We brisked walk over to Raffles Hotel. We thought we were late for the full dress reheasal. Eventually, when we reach there the piano ensemble was still rehearsing. And guess what? Our turn for rehersing was only at 10pm!!

Tuesday, 20th jan

Skipped school. Curled up cozily under the sheets and was woken up by my daddy. Late in the afternoon, the sofa, my brother's and parents bed arrived.

Left house at 4pm. Met up with sis at CWP and then trained down City Hall for the SMU concert! To my delight, my maid smsed and said that she would be back in singapore at ard 11pm. Hence, after the concert, my dad came and fetch us and together we went changi airport to fetch my maid!

Hectic Week

School, new home and SMU rehearsals has successfully conquered my week!!

I even cancelled my work due to SMU rehearsals as well as helping out at the new house as a painter. Thanks to that i've got aches all over and apparently lots of paint stains all over my body. Woooots, body art just rocks.

As soon as i got back home from SMU rehearsals, quickly bathed and scribbled some words for RJ and here i am sitting right in front of the notebook blogging and munching on my fillet-o-fish!

Having music theory tomorrow in the morning. Afterwhich, gotta head to my new home and help out again.
Later in the night, gotta go to SMU for more rehearsals! Basically thats my day for tomorrow. Cheers for that? Hah.

Seriously need some weekend fun!!! Besides, ive yet to shop for my chinese new year clothes and get my hair done. Darn.

And not forgetting my date with Xvan this coming Monday!!!

Mr A-Z, my remedy

Guess what? Im over the moon!!! Emphasis on the exclamations please.

Jason Mraz is coming to Singapore for a concert on 5th March!
This news has been known to me a few weeks back and ive been checking Sistic net every now and then for the release of tickets and i'm proud to say ive already gotten them today!!

Some of you might already have known coz ive been broadcasting around like a broadcaster. Pardon me, im just too high over it. Coz its Jason Mraz, mr A-Z and not Mr. Tan Ah Gao.

Weee. Finally a Solo concert from mraz!

The top seats ive got! Ha.

$148. I think is worth it.

The Joy of Working

I'm back at work at Lucky Plaza with a pool of fellow customers from my hometown, Philippines!
I'm no longer at the shop that i used to be at when i was working in Lucky Plaza the other time. The dealers from both shops are nice people, but the best thing about the change is that I'VE GOT SEATS TO REST MY BUTT. And there's this filipina worker name Rizal, was interesting to chat with.

Me: What's the dealer name?
Rizal: his name is, his name is.
Me: C'mon lah, whats his real name.
Rizal: Peter.
Me: Sure or not?
Rizal: Very sure.
Me: (still doubtful)

At around 5pm, customers coming by the shop was like ZERO. So Rizal asked me to yell out the dealer's name "Peter". And I did what i was told "Peter, peter peter!"

There was totally no response from him. Instead he's eyes was fixed on his PSP. So im kinda sure that his name is not Peter. HAHA. So i waved at him to catch his attention. And asked...

Me: Whats your name?
"Peter": Elgine. Why?
Me: Ohhh, because she (pointing at Rizal) told me your name was Peter
Elgine: Then you know what's her name anot?
Me: Dont know (pretending)
Elgine: Pan. You know why or not?
Me: Why?
Elgine: Coz together we are Peter Pan
Me: Okayyyyyyyyyyyy.

The amount of customers flowing in between 5pm to 7pm was really low. As to kill time, Rizal taught me tagalog and i taught her chinese. If i'd master the language, I would totally be mistaken as a Fillipina! HA. As a matter of fact, the customers stopping by would definitely, 100% guranteed, chop, speak to me in taglog. And i would be repeating, "Sorry, i speak english". In addition, there's this group of filipinas actually thought i was their compatriot!!! Till Rizal told them i'm a chinese! They were stunned!! Followed by a stream of laughter. Ohyeah, watever.

The bra incident was awfully hilarious too. HAHA.

And this is how i end my post.

My Wednesday

Ohhhhh, so hawt sexy Diona actually stalks my not amazing lifeee!!

Sooo, i had this Open House performance for my IG yesterday. I almost passed out when my cellist said she's not going to perform. Ive got so worried coz she was the only cellist playing. Thank goodness, everything turns out well after much persuading and coaxing from meeee!

After the performance, we waited for Gillian like 1,000,000,000 seconds to get back to class to pack her stuffs. I wondered what pentium speed she's at now, even at this modern era.

Three of us, Guoyan, gillian and myself cabbed all the way back to Gillian's house @ Newton.

Back at her house, gouyan was busy messing with her dog, while im busy checking up the net for movies timing. A while later, guoyan started to play the piano while im searching high and low for the dog. Finally i found the dog on his lap. That dog sure know how to chilll yeah! And i really did enjoy playing catching with guoyan and dog. HAHA. It was fun!

He's playing a serenade for the dog!
I bet the dog must be falling in love now.

Alone in his world.

Cabbed down to Cineleisure to catch out 3.30pm movie, College. It was an M18 movie. Soooo. Nudity is inevitable duh! Quite a silly show. Hahaha.

Howdy to 2009

Happy 2009 to everyone out there!

As far as im concern, the start of year 2009 has been great for some.

Im pleased to hear from diona that her 1st day of year 2009 is prooof... incredible! She'd finally pluck up her courage to speak to (I know who). Great start uh diona ;) I can foresee yr love life for the upcoming days, months and for the rest of year 2009!! It will be mind-blowing definitely. haha.

Besides diona, im certain Xvan did receive the greatest gift that he had been longing for. His grandpa condition has miraculously recoverd from critical to save. He's over the moon right now and im happy for him as well. Let's pray that everything goes well for him and his grandpa. hallelujah!

As for myself, i genuinely hope that more moohlah will come stumbling across me, life would be so easy for me (i know thats impossible), the best of health to everyone i heart, my friends, my family. And lastly, i prayed for world peace.

Happy Year 2009 folks :D
