梁静茹签唱会

Went with Mangojo to the 梁静茹签唱会 compliments of tickets given by Shanster. :) thanks gal!

Mangojo came to pick me up and we arrived @ Expo ard 3pm admist the pouring rain. As we towards the Hall, noticed a lot of ushers helping to control traffic and blah. Intially thot "Wah, so happening ah, they expecting so many pp dat's why need ushers" but then realised it is coz there's a church there... which also explains why, the ushers "disappeared" halfway along our journey hee. Was expecting a looooooooooooooong queue so q surprised that the queue was NOT that long, guess it was partly coz of the rain bah.

The time stated on the ticket read 4pm so we were anticipating that we would be able to go in by around 330 pm. Good company helps in times like this when time seems to c-r-e-e-p by... and of course the crowd around u. There was this lady standing behind us and I intially thought that she was a Malay coz she had this scarf which she used as a head scarf... and she was q dark. Anyways she kept complaining about how the organisers couldnt let us go in and sit down first... and apparantly she q playing w her scarf and it kept "flicking" on Mangojo haha!! And @ ard 330 thereabouts, seeing how we were still not allowed into the hall, she actually went in to ask the organisers when they r letting us in!!! gosh!!! Reminds me of last year when I went to Star Awards w my colleague; there was this guy who kept on complaining about waiting n scolding the gf 4 dragging him here n how he was not goin 2 come next year; goin 2 leave half-way n blah... but we saw him @ e end of the awards haha! :P

True to the organisers' words, trickles of the crowd were let in @ 350pm. As they wanted to let the pp in in batches, the crowd was stopped from entering the hall about 6 pp in front of us, which resulted in the aunty in front of us commenting why pp we were stopped fr goin in!! Alamak... ugly singaporeans ah!!! Then when we were inside, somehow 2 queues fr formed before the entrance of the main hall and lady w pink scarf kept asking the hubby/bf “为什么有两条？我们可以排那边吗？”and she asked this a few times within the short 3 min we were there and got frantic when she saw pp joining that queue!!! And when we finally got into the main hall, she was rushing in front whilst Mangojo and I were happily strolling to e less crowded area n finding seats. PIANGZ!!! Bet she wld haf rushed RITE to e front :P

So much of complaints... really did enjoy the showcase presented by Fish. (although was a little pissed intially coz we were forced to move due to the messy planning of the organisers which resulted in having 2 tall men sitting in front of Sleepy n blocking her precious view... luckily the guy in front finally decided to slouch a bit yipee!!) She sounds as good as the CD and she seems warm and sincere, and u cld tell that she really enjoys to sing :) Q like the songs in her new album as well... muz rem 2 borrow the CD fr Dar's fren as well as 2 pester pp to make the ring tone for me hee hee. She's gona haf a concert next year... feel like goin heh... Shao Ye helped to duplicate her previous convert VCD 4 me & I thot it was rather gd... but muz see if the hole in my pocket can be sewed up first :P or anyone wana sponsor???

And had a really gd time w Mangojo... hafnt seen her since Deepavali & so was exchanging gossip and telling her about my latest encounter w CB. & I know we r gona meet up soon... to go shoppin when the sales r here or 2 go HelloKittyland rites??? :P

Twitch Twitch

The skin juz below sleepy's left eye has been twitching for the past couple of days. Not that it is uncomfy... but it juz feels strange having it twitch on and off the whole day :( I tried to massage/press my fingers to the area to "calm" it down but it still comes back after a while. 1 of my colleagues say it is due to lack of sleep whilst another says that i am goin to strike lottery/toto!!! But then... I don't even buy them!!! I have heard before that if your eyebrows twitch, it means that something bad is goin to happen but not the area under the eye leh... anyone has any probable suggestions??

Was on course on Thurs & Fri; good break from work and the course ended v early on both days so it was double plus points. Unlike in PA where we could choose which courses we wanted to go to; now we don't have any choice. We only have certain dates that we can go for courses and that in itself is planned by the manager. Which sucks coz I don't like going for courses where I don't know anyone. But luckily this course comprised mostly of young officers who joined within the last 2 years and some of them I knew so all in all it was q fun. Got to know new people as well so now I have more kakis when goin for courses/briefings :) Realised also that everyone is v disiplined (not like me!!) arrive for course on time; don't take too long for breaks; don't chat whilst the coordinator is talking and don't give silly answers... unlike the PA courses... heh heh... issit the culture of the organisation or the influence of friends?? :P

Conversation Tool

It is funny how some things can become a conversation starter. Like a piece of clothing, having the latest gadget hairstyle... blah blah blah... how about a $50 note??

Darling picked me up from tuition today coz lazeee me cldnt b bothered to go home and get the car (and anyways the tank was close to empty... AGAIN!!!) and as I havn't had dinner and he only ate a bit, decided to grab a bite @ the Circuit Road food centre next to MacPherson CC. We didnt have very much choices as there were mostly vegetarian stalls down there and we didn't exactly wana eat vegetarian. Anyways in the midst of my meal, passed Darling the old $50 note he wanted and he conveniently put it on the table as he didn't bring his wallet down. We were chatting away when I noticed the drinks stall uncle eyeing something on our table and I thought he was looking @ Darling's phone or something. Then he picked up his spectacles and walked even closer to our table..
Uncle: "那个是旧的50块啊？”
Dar: “是啊。。。”
Uncle:“哇！现在很难看到这种50块了hor。。。”
Dar: “A nor... (pointing to me) 她在银行做工，人家进钱给的。。。”
Uncle: “Orrhh... 难怪啦。。。”
Me: “Uncle, 你要吗？”
Uncle: “我跟你换50对50就ok。。。”(laughs)
Afterwhich we didnt answer coz uncle went to sit down liao. We continued to chat and then this cleaner lady came up to us with the same exclaimation and roughly the same story goes. But this lady is v cute, when she heard that I work in a bank, she actually asked me to keep a lookout for the $50 bird and ship series for her and left her contact number with me so that I can call her if I have it!!! And she insisted that she would treat me to coffee when I come and pass her the money heh heh. Now I am worried that I don't have enought of these to circulate around as Dar and his best fren also ask me to keep a lookout for them... *frets*

Btw, have any of u seen the orchid series before?? It is a wonder that some pp still have these notes!!! They muz be when I was just born coz I can only remember the bird and ship series...
