if only life could be easy (-ier)

My Barber of Seville duet performance is on this Saturday (31st May) at MGS.

*edit: oops, it was at the Methodist School of Music; confusion confusion!*

Its going to be interesting, visiting my alma mater after so long. I have not gone back since leaving in Secondary Four. Did not go back for graduation too, thus my 'O' level cert is still with the school. Maybe not.

Strangely, I do not feel the need to practice for the duet, I just practice when I remember to, which is perhaps once in three days. On the other hand, I have to practice for the ATCL recital everyday for more than two hours. My hands ache, my fingers are stiff and the middle one hurts especially. I hope no fingers get lost in the process.

At least, it will be a nice (hopefully) experience performing... and confidence will be gained in prep for the recital.

Three more piano lessons to the big day.

Make My Day!

Today I saw this cyclist on the way to Fish Mart Sakuraya and he was so amusing!

A slight drizzle was fading and there he was.



Instead of covering himself, he had his bike all suited up! Not just that, it was securely fastened with the help of clothes pegs, to the handlebar and back wheel and pedal etc. And notice the just-passed sign?

(: Some people are just so cute.

What a fantastic new skin.

He used to be my second favourite next to Silly Billy.

I used to hate how everyone at home called him the ugliest hamster of all the five!

Well look at him now, in the prime of his hamsterhood, and looking adorable while he munches some pear.

Being cute doesn't help now.

Too bad cow, you shouldn't have bit me!

Out!

It feels great to head out after being couped at home for a week with flu (:

And I realised this blog is all "prose" no pictures, so here goes!


The happy Bitchy who has finished her exams! Finally!


With her 22nd birthday present (: a DS lite! Lily and I planned it, and I even got her the pretty blue sticker she liked! Also, I designed a Fatter Mommy skin for the game cartridge (:

I passed to her the DS in my dirrrrty case where I always put mine, and when she took it out she actually thought I changed my black DS to a new one! Then she opened it, and *tada*, Happy Belated! She's a bit of a ..... cos she even thought that the hammie wheel was not just from me and lily! and she even thought the game cartridge was shared by everyone. A bit not right in the head, but thats understandable after the exams (:

I don't need to get a birthday present next year anymore, hooray!


Me with staircase bokeh (:

Foreigners, Trouble.

Today I met this irate old woman who was blatantly trimming her nails with clippers on the MRT. And she was letting them drop onto the MRT floor.

So, I politely told her, "Excuse me, you are not supposed to cut your nails on the train."

She looked up at me and replied in Chinese, "oh you mean we are not supposed to?" and continued to cut her nails as if we had never had a conversation.

So, I took out my dSLR and took a photo of her happily cutting her nails.

After she cut finish her nails, suddenly (and finally) her brain processed that I took a photo of her.

She came over and started making a commotion. "You took my photo right?! Why did you take a photo of me?!"

I calmly replied: "You were cutting your nails and littering on the floor when you were not supposed to".

Then, she said, "You took the photo of me before you told me to stop cutting my nails!"

I was like ... ... "You still continued cutting them."

She said (..........) "My nail had something! I had to cut it (and blah blah crap)"

I was like, "You didn't pick them up from the floor, did you?"

At that point she went NUTS. At a loss for words, she shouted: "Show me your camera! Delete the photo you took of me! You took a photo of me!"

I said: "Don't disturb me."

She came to sit down next to me on the two-seater and was fuming inside. The woman kept muttering things like, sell your photos, earn money la! Then when I started arranging my things to get off the train, she tried to secretly start packing but that was rather obvious.

AND. She followed me out of the MRT and whipped out her phone to take a photo of me. Sister was like, "what are you doing? stop taking her photo!" and the mad old China (oops, I DO detest China Chinese) woman said "but she took a photo of me!". And she quickly ran back into the train before the doors snapped shut.

Thinking back, it was really hilarious how she had to scramble back into the train before it left without her.

Go back to your country, you impolite China Chinese who litters in my beautiful Singapore (and fouls it with your Chinese slurring).

What's wrong with the Singapore government? When you let foreigners in, at least screen them.

Misery

I'm currently at stage 4 of flu... the cough-phlegm level. this is possibly the worst stage, okay make that 2nd, I positively detest the stage before fever comes and I just have warning bells in my head ringing full blast that I'm gonna get flu the next day and BAM it hits you.

I feel miserable.

Selfish

What a sister should not do:

when you are sick, spent the whole night trying to stuff your runny nose so you couldn't sleep, think about something other than the painful lump in your throat, have trouble breathing and swallowing saliva, have a really bad headache from fever, and don't have the energy even to move around.

• tell you to stop acting sick and pathetic when you are obviously not sick.
• tell you to get your sweaty hands off her when you hold on to her for support when walking.
  
• tell you you're not sick cos you will not play with your hamsters (which sick owner would want to pass her illness to her pets? well a mentally sick one.)
• tell you you're not sick cos you can watch tv (what am i supposed to do, sleep all day?)
• claims its unfair when you skip going out for dinner when you're not sick.
• come home from dinner and ask, "you've bathed right? i knew it!" - are sick people not supposed to bathe?
• when you've finished watching tv and you've said you have a really bad stomachache from 30minutes ago and rushing off to the toilet, she tells you to switch off the tv which she was watching too and when you say no i need to use the toilet she tells you you're obviously not sick again AND can't switch off the tv too.

i'm sick of having such a sister. she always puts herself before others.
