Coca-cola cups..

2009-10-26T08:22:00.000-07:00

okay okay.. i'm obsessed with these cups.... some of them are just so pretty.... especially the purple, blue and lime cups.. the green is a disappointment.. and the black is sophisticated.. now the only sore point for me is that i haven't managed to get a pink cup.. which i'm quite disappointed.. I would love to get a pink cup to add to my collection.. anybody have a cup to spare to give/sell/trade with me?? please?? pretty please???

prawn fishing.. 17th oct

2009-10-25T09:07:00.001-07:00

okay I know it's been ages since I last came onto this blog.. a year plus to be exact.. I guess I haven't had much to really say so I have been really quiet... plus who would actually read my blog save a couple of really good friends? I suppose it would help ginchee to keep up with my rather unexciting life..

now the most exciting thing I've done lately would probably be the prawn fishing I did last weekend.. 17th October.. went with Nat, Serena and my sis Katherine. I guess my expectations wasn't that high.. I mean me fish? never touched a fishing rod before so I was anticipating no prawns caught.. I think Nat was more optimistic than me. =P

well we managed to catch a total of *drum roll please* ....

25 prawns!!

yep 25 big yummy looking prawns... they were really big.. bigger than our expectations.. we kinda just expected medium sized prawns but these were huge.. if i figure out how to put pics on to this blog then u'll see..

after that we decided that 25 prawns would not fill us .. so we headed off to McD's for some takeaway.. always can count on McD's.. though i think i'm gonna boycott it for a bit till they manage their staff a bit better.. especially the McD's in Tesco Puchong.. but that's another story.. =)

so we went back to my house and put the now dead prawns on display on my kitchen table and took loads of photos.. i think my dad thought we'd gone insane.. =P and we fried them up to eat.. and they were yummy.. yummy.. yummy.. =)

Nat attempting to look bored.. her fishing rod was tugged the most.. and she did knock a few prawns unconscious along the way.. quite the murderer i tell ya.. =P

Serena was the first to catch a prawn.. gave the rest of us hope after that..

Katherine's successful attempt at prawn fishing.. and being her kiasu sister whenever she caught a prawn I had to as well.. well i did say i was kiasu..

YAY Nat finally caught one prawn.. (she was rather successful in the end with 3 in succession.. whereas my end of the pool was taken over by this guy who was a pro so i didn't catch very many after that)

urs truly catching a prawn.. and very proud of myself too.. hehe..

our catch!!

everybody sing!! 1 little 2 little 3 little prawns!! hehe..

this pictures tells it all.. happy faces.. 25 dead prawns.. yummy dinner coming up..

now was i lying.. isn't that yummy?? =D

ideas

2008-07-12T10:15:00.001-07:00

just got an idea for a monologue.. it's still fresh in my mind.. i'm gonna write it one of these days and send to ppl for their opinions.. =)

i need to get more ideas for writing.. and keep writing.. dun ever stop..

2008-07-12T10:06:00.001-07:00

ok i have been away from this blog for a long time.. and i have not updated on what is happening to myself.. well there have been lots of things happening.. for example my bday.. which means i'm a year older now.. booo.. quarter life crisis already.. hahaha .. which also brought me to think what do i want in life? i mean is this it? working in a kindy..

anyways.. i do have pics to put up but i am on the wrong comp at the mo..

brief updates:

1. my vitara is busted.. my bro drove it and didn't realise the water level was down in the radiator.. blew the engine.. it's gonna cost $4.5 K to fix.. money money money gone done the drain..

2. didn't go to the UK.. which is kinda sad.. but there have been loads of problems from that UK project thingy which is making my life rather tiring at the mo.. i've been collecting some info.. won't tell what they are till my case is over and done with..

3. as i said b4.. my bday has come and gone.. my sis' bday has come n gone too.. we're all getting old.. i can see grey hair on my head already.. time to die it again!

4. i want a holiday.. but i kinda feel guilty about it becos my parents want me to work loads.. and they think holidays are not important.. well my dad does.. i need a hol..

5. went to watch a play tonite.. pretty good.. laughed a lot.. had no idea what it was b4 i went.. just went with a uni fren to watch.. it was worth it..

anyways.. i'll post more soon..

3 days more to school opening again..

2008-06-05T09:37:00.000-07:00

as my title says.. 3 more days till i go back to work.. i dun wanna go.. *pouts*.. it's hard to get motivated to go to work sometimes.. i feel like i just wanna have hols all the time.. but is that possible? only if i marry a rich guy.. hahaa..

been listening to carrie underwood quite a bit lately.. she can really sing.. best of the american idols i think.. not including this season's brilliant singers la..

wanted to write more.. but am too tired.. will write more later.. =)

2008-05-26T08:25:00.000-07:00

am listening to the american idols on youtube.. the final 6 guys together.. michael johns sounds so cool.. he shouldn't have been kicked out so early.. now listening to both davids singing hero.. wooo! they are amazing.. still think david archuleta should have won..

anyways.. this is to declare that i'm bored.. bored bored bored.. haha .. i need things to do.. lagi this week school hols.. sigh.. bored bored bored..

will update again soon.. was distracted from updated just now..

more pics of the play.. =)

2008-05-25T20:24:00.000-07:00

more pics! i think i might have put this at large.. my official pic.. plus my cast n crew pic.. we had lots more.. just need to find them all..

production crew

2008-05-25T19:59:00.000-07:00

i think this is the coolest production crew in the world.. they are so awesome.. i didn't need to worry about things getting done becos i knew i could rely on them when they said they would do something.. i had an awesome time working with them during this play..and hopefully working with them for many more! =)

2008-05-21T08:44:00.000-07:00

gosh.. i'm so depressed.. not because my play is over.. but because of this UK trip thingy..i mean i was so excited to go on the trip in the beginning.. but now it's sounding less and less fun.. and they've been having more and more meetings on days when i can't make it.. and they say this should be my priority.. yes that would b in the ideal world.. but lately i've been doing so much more in the kindergarten that it's almost impossible to get out more often.. even for my play i could not direct due to the fact that i just did not have the time to do so..

i really dunno what to do.. i'm in such a dilemma now.. i know they are all pissed off with me for not being there for this life time opportunity.. yes it is a life time opportunity .. but i also have my career to think about.. my parents need me at work.. and i can't just keep cancelling due to the fact that parents do not like it.. i mean say for example u r paying for something and it keeps getting cancelled or moved.. what would u say? of cos u'd be peeved with the teacher..

i just don't get it why they can't have meetings on days other days.. yes it does sound selfish to be wanting that.. but most of the others are not working.. still studying.. which means that they have more free time than those that work.. isn't that logical? i dunno.. maybe i'm being unreasonable..

oh well.. tomorrow nite.. 9pm.. i'm probably gonna get into deep trouble for not being at the meetings.. i need to keep a straight face.. not cry.. dun break down..listen to them.. let them talk more than me.. i mean no matter what i say they are going to take it the wrong way anyways and argue back.. so what's the point of arguing?

maybe i shouldn't have put my classes at night.. but that's my income .. is it too much to ask for that i have to earn a living? i dunno.. well tonite there is gonna be no sleep for me again.. i'm gonna be sooooo nervous.. how ah..

too many things have changed.. maybe i'm just in a different zone from all these others.. as i talked to some frens earlier.. maybe they are just too into what they are doing to see the big picture at times.. when i compare them to my Livewire buddies.. they fall flat all the time.. my Livewire crew are just awesome.. i can walk into a room with them and within a few minutes be laughing my head off.. and really having a good time..

i find that i'm not the type of person to stay in a project for a long time.. with Coming out of the closet i found myself wanting to start on the next project just as that one was ending.. maybe i'm the restless type.. hmmm...i dunno..

ok i'm fearing tomorrow's meeting more n more now.. how la like this? i can't sleep now.. crap.. why didn't they sms me in the morning.. i guess tonite is time for a lot of prayers and just trying to find my way thru all this already.. i feel so blind all the time.. need to think clear.. but how to do so if i'm exhausted.. hmmm...

Coming out of the closet..

2008-05-19T09:27:00.001-07:00

the play of cos.. gosh.. i can't believe it's all over.. from start to finish.. it's all over.. i think i'm getting post production depression... which is so not good.. i can't wait to start on the next one!! this production has again confirmed that theatre is definitely the way to go for me.. yes i know it's not very good in malaysia.. and that it's basically impossible to earn a living here.. but it doesn't mean that it cannot be done.. it can.. it just needs a lot of hard work and effort..

anyways.. back to the play.. this was the first play i'd written and produced.. gosh.. it was hard work.. but it was lots of fun too.. from writing to casting of actors, to all the production meetings, to rehearsals, to show time, to confrontations, to putting together a piece of theatre that i am truly proud of.. this is my first attempt.. so there was always going to be problems.. but as my team says.. 'livewire ppl cannot do anything the easy way.. everything must be done the hard way' *laughs*.. that is so true.

i want to thank each person individually.. i usually write up a whole thank you list on my blog.. except nobody except adlina knows about it.. any suggestions on how to show my appreciation?..

back to the show.. we had 2 sold out nights.. and the rest were pretty full.. which was a relief.. ppl are really supportive to come and watch my play.. including nat nat!.. even tho u thought it was long.. i'm glad u still enjoyed it..

to the next play.. it might be in december.. then gin chee can come watch eh? =)

will update more again with pics next time!!

2007-11-24T08:24:00.000-08:00

it's been a week liao.. and boy am i tired.. i just feel exhausted.. and we haven't even started to film... it's just so much preparation.. not only on paper.. but also to prepare the actor and actress to know what they have to do.. to analyse the script.. tho i must say the writer isn't very accomodating.. so we are now making two films.. one for the writer.. and one for us.. the best thing tho.. is that my tutor is very much for our version of the story rather than the writer's ... isn't that cool.. a tutor who supports us rather than the writer.. :P

was asked today by a (younger) friend about why i dun have a bf and whether it was my choice.. i replied my expectations are too high so that's y i probably dun have a bf.. but yeah.. it did get me wondering as usual..

anyway.. my short film is titled The Illusion.. it's gonna be pretty cool if we can pull it off.. it's about this girl who's being forced into marriage by her mother and doesn't want it.. she wants her freedom to go ard the world.. to go to university to get an education.. she has this illusion that her mother has arranged for her to marry a village boy.. so she kills herself.. little does she know this village boy is a well education, handsome young man that will give her whatever she wants in the world.. it's kinda morbid and sad... oh well.. the writer wants it that way.. so we'll do it that way la..

2007-11-13T07:56:00.000-08:00

*drum roll please!*

*runs ard room dancing*

holidays are soon.. yippie!!

2007-11-02T09:19:00.000-07:00

ok post number 2.. and thanks everybody for ur comments on post number 1! =)
jean how did u find out about this site? i haven't told anybody else yet! =)

random facts for today..

anyways.. i just got well and truly hooked onto facebook.. i'm frantically finding people to add to my list.. and it's like friendster.. so addictive.. and i can poke, scare, spank, throw something at ppl.. it's kinda fun at the mo.. but i think it'll wear off soon enuff...

saw on tv that ppl who like to eat salty stuff are stressed out a lot.. well that could kinda be about me i guess.. i always have stuff to do.. things to accomplish.. and year end is always stressful.. and i'm always tired.. hmmm i need a holiday.. hehe..

i dun understand why malaysians don't seem to know how to use their indicators on their cars.. it's so simple.. yet many refuse to use them and it infuriates me when i'm driving and waiting for a car to pass at a junction and they just suddenly turn.. malaysian drivers!

just applied for the astro-nida short course.. i'm not confident of getting it cos i think i wrote a pretty bleh essay as to why i would want it.. oh well.. just have to wait and see i guess ..the timing suits me fine.. it's just that i can't ever seem to write a decent introductory essay..

currently just finished reading The Mysterious Affair At Styles by Agatha Christie.. *sigh*.. i've probably read this book a lot of times but i can never remember who did it! but this book is good.. kept me interested till the end..

just recovered from the flu.. kiddies gave it to me.. bleh.. always getting sick in this line of work..

moving house...or site for that matter..

2007-10-31T09:24:00.000-07:00

first post! and i dunno what to write.. *laughs* and yes. i have moved from xanga to here.. i will be keeping my xanga open for now.. but i think i'm too bored with it already.. it's been a while since i've been using xanga...need to tell ppl i've changed i guess.. so malas to actually.. wat a malaysian thing.. to be malas to tell ppl about stuff.. oh well.. i guess for now the only two ppl that will know about this is gin n nat.. *waves at gin n nat* .. hi gals.. hopefully i'll blog more now that i'm on blogspot.. plus i need a new background.. any ideas?

also i'm guessing this site will be more for me to write and nurture writing rather than just write about daily happenings.. my life is so structural that i think it's not worth writing about it everyday.. i will write if anything interesting comes to light.. but if not.. then u'll have to make do with my amateur writings instead.. feedback is welcomed..
