Mad About English

"Mad About English"

I went to catch this private movie screening this evening at Shaw Centre, Lido 3 with the girls from Tong Building. It was quite a eventful evening for me because I had not seen them for quite a while since I've been going to marquez.

Anyway, I had met up with D at lucky plaza around 5.30. I was excited to see him because before having had met him I had a lesson with Carmen & Bryan Watson. They are two very influencial dancers who are extremely good at what they do. I had managed to spend a hour learning from them both. But since my dancing is not up to scratch I had to start from the basics. But it was a good thing because my basics are not there at all.

As I was saying I met D at Lucky Plaza this afernoon and I had been looking forward to seeing him reason being was because since he had been sick for the last 2 days I have not had the opportunity to see him. But today I was going to be able to spend a few hours with him which was exciting. I was totally looking forward to that.

He definately looked better than what he did on Monday. So after I had met him we went to the office in Tong Building and waited for Ann Ann because I promised her that I would go with her. It was nice to see her because I had not seen her for a very long time. And also it was the first time I had introduced D to her. So i think it had gone well.

We walked all the way to Shaw Centre and got some pop corn, hot dogs and pepsi. We managed to get a few tables because there were a few of us going from the office and we were still like relatively early. So we just sat, ate and caught up which was nice.

We finally went into the movie theatre and made ourselves comfortable and waited for time to pass before the movie started. We thought the movie was good and inspiring for us to see how the people in Beijing want to improve they're command in english. If you ever have time you should definately go and catch this movie.

A non-eventful day

2008-07-29T01:49:00.001-07:00

As you can see Fifi treasures her treasures... Hahaha!

Even though it is black and white she still has a shiny forehead...
Dot....Dot....Dot....

It's past mid-day and Fifi and I are just sitting in the ballroom watching the clients dance they're hearts away. It was a non-eventful day for us. Rather boring if I had to be honest. I am not to sure why this was but Fifi was not able to sit still. Wierd one right? She kept on standing up and sitting down all the time.

Anyway later that evening I headed over to Sunny Low Studio to pick up Mami Aleena. She was quite busy preparing for the Singapore Flyer. Along with that she had to go to People's Park to the Money Changer to change some $ into pounds.

And then we finally arrived at the Singapore Flyer. Unfortunately to me it was not such a big deal. Although it looked grand and such it was not really anything special. The london eye is still way better than this. But of course it's a first time experience for the people in Singapore so they should enjoy it whilst they still can.

Well as you can see the photos proves that it had been a fun night. Indeed it was a lot of fun. I througouly enjoyed the games and the activities that they had in this birthday bash.

It had been slightly slow in the beginning because the clients came in one by one but the more clients came it had gotten more livelier which was nice. The floor got busy with all the guests walking around and at the same time it had gotten noisier too which had made it more fun.

The party had started around 8 plus and of course the birthday boy along with his clients had arrived with some of they're friends. I am not to familiar with who they were because to be honest they do not come into the ballroom much to dance unfortunately.

It was a slow start during the first part of it but like 30 minutes later it got busier as the crowd had arrived. The bar where Aaron was stationed was busy getting drinks for they're client as well as the buffet line.

Chris and Arlene came by to drop off the food and get the buffet ready for all the guests which was rather nice of them. Whatever it was, they had cooked a lot of food for all the party goers. I have to say that Arlene is a pretty good cook.

I personally do not have much to say about this party other than the fact that I had a good time even though I did not participate in any of the activities. Well done George and Happy Birthday!

29th July 2008 - Ben & Jerry's @ Dempsey!

2008-07-28T04:45:00.000-07:00

Ben & Jerry's singlet for ladies!

The two nice sales girls @ Ben & Jerry's (Dempsey Branch)

Rex & Kelvin with they're ice cream.

So we made a afternoon with our Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Don't these two boys look happy with the lollipops? I must say that they were both content with they're ice creams.

But earlier in the day I was in Orchard in Tong building in my other so called office. I had a fair bit of work to do that morning hence, I was not able to show up in Marquez this afternoon. My sincere apologies about that. I hope that it was not to bad today Shirley. Not to many customers coming in.

I had spent my whole day with Ann Ann. A lady who works in Tong building under my mom. She is part of the scientific tradition team. Unfortunately, she was not feeling to good. She had been feeling a bit under the weather so we took things slow. I had not been in that office for quite sometime since now a days I'm pretty much stationed in Marquez. It was nice to be around the girls whom i used to see everyday when I once worked in Tong. I have to say I did miss not being able to see them everyday but then at the same time I enjoyed where I was working now. It's pretty much more relaxed I would say in Marquez, however we are always being watched by the watchful eye.

So after having spent a few hours in Tong, I had waited for time to pass before going to meet D. at clementi reason being was because he had not been feeling well since a few days ago. He had a terrible fever and he definately did not look good whatsoever. I was so concerned and worried for him I insisted on seeing a doctor but being as stubborn as he is, before he did not want to listen to me. He'd rather wait till it's to late before he would go to see one. Crazy right?!?

I reached clementi mrt station just before 2pm and i walked over to his block to see him and pick him up so that I could take him to see the doctor. Unfortunately, he did not want to leave right away so he just snoozed in bed for a while and then about 30 minutes later we had made a move to the clinic. He had been burning up because I did take his temperature and it was like 38.71. I am not to sure if that is entirely correct but I do believe it was somewhere around there.

When we got to the clinic we waiting about 30-45 minutes just for our turn to see the doctor. So he played with his rubix cube and I just sat with him flipping magazines that the clinic had. Some of them were quite useful but relatively old. I had seen some nice clothes and bags in the magazine's but I doubt that they have them anymore in the stores.

I recall they had called our number and we went in to see the doctor. It was a female doctor and the vibe that I got from her was that she was rather friendly. She was quite easy to speak with and had a rather good command of english so in my opinion I found her a pretty good doctor at that. She took D. temperature. She had prescribed him some medicine and told him to rest for as much as he could. He also told him in regards to his medicine he had to finish everything that he had been given, and the worst thing for me was that they were all pills.

I am not to sure how people are able to swallow pills because i for one have difficulty swallowing them no matter how big or small they maybe. We went back up to his place and rested in the fresh air.

Uncle Nasit's Daughter's Wedding...

2008-07-27T01:33:00.000-07:00

This is my good friend Mandy Soo! Doesn't she look so pretty in her outfit. I've never seen her wear such bright clothing before but I thought that she looked stunning!

Elaine aka Jai's wife. Pretty right... Do you believe she's not malay?

A beautiful stage for the King & Queen to sit.

Rita, Nasit, Wife & Tanya. The couple in the middle look ever so happy for they're daughter. Yipppeeeee!

Uncle Nasit and his other half. He's been telling me that she apparently cooks very well.

Photo No 2 : Elaine & Jai. Had to retake because Jai did not like the first one I took which is just below this one. I can't see the difference though. Can you?

Elaine & Jai aka the newly weds.

The newly married couple and the daughter's parents. One big happy family :D

The son in law getting his blessing's from the daughter's family.

The daughter getting her parents blessing. Can you feel the love?!?

Uncle Nasit & Wife getting ready to give the newlyweds they're blessings...

Uncle Nasit & his beautiful family with the newlyweds.

D & I being such piggies grabbed every dessert off the buffet table, and you know what? We had gone back for more :D

And the show goes on....

The people at the wedding banquet looked on at the procession as they had played they're music and sang they're songs for the "King & Queen" for that day.

My only candid shot. I thought I would take this photo because it could show the little girl but one of the audiences head was in the way but anyway, the guy looking my direction is not bad looking : D hahah!

I only noticed there was a little girl I believe in the welcoming committee till D had pointed this out to me. She was pretty good at banging the tambourine. Cute right?!?

The newlyweds were getting they're blessing... Hallejuha!

The musicians from the welcoming committee. The music that they were playing, singing was beautiful!

After the welcoming party for the husband, they were finally sitting together on the stage as husband and wife. So sweet right?!?

This was the station where I got off at. It was my first time to come out this way. I just wanted to have proof that I had been here :D

When I had gotten off the Bukit Panjang LRT. This was my view from the platform. It was the Zhenghua National Archery Range.

I was woken up this morning by my mom. I was supposed to go for breakfast with my parents but I was to tired to get out of bed no matter how hard she had tried to do so. After having disturbed me for the whole 3 minutes she finally left me alone and I contiuned to sleep. Thank you mummy! I love you for letting me go back to bed.

Unfortunately, I have not seen much of my parents this whole week because I have either been at work or hanging out with D. So please mommy & daddy don't blame me as to why you've not seen much of your daughter lately okay?

I had recieved a call around 10+ because Pat had asked me what I had wanted to eat for lunch. I was not really paying attention to her because I was half asleep when she had called. Sorry Pat if I had sounded grumpy this morning. After having put down the phone I tried to go back to sleep for a while which if I am not wrong I was able to do however it was not for very long.

A few minutes later I finally got myself out of bed and at that moment in time I recall my stomach being quite hungry and so I had gone down to the kitchen to rummage for food but as usual we didn't have anything to eat. I called D up and was able to get a hold of him. I believe i possibly could have woken him up. I would just like to say, that I love your voice in the morning D. It sounds so sweet and innocent. I love you!

After having talked to him, I washed up and got online. I had to check my e-mail from Kerry Ball. Thank god he e-mailed me. It was regarding the comedy that my friends and I were going to catch tonight. Hopefully, they have not forgotten about it yet. I am looking forward to seeing them this evening though because I've not seen either one of them for a long time so hopefully it should be good.

By the time i had done all my personal thing I got changed and headed out to the bus stop on napier road. I hopped onto the bus number 75 and went all the way to Bukit Panjang Mall. I believe I waited for D for about like 15 - 20 minutes before he kindly showed up. He didn't look to well I have to say. He was quite faint and not as bubbly as he normally is. But anyway, once he had arrived, I was already in the kopitiam waiting for him and at the same time deciding what I had wanted to eat for lunch. I had my lunch and then after that I had to go to the atm machine to get some money out for uncle nasit's ang pao. I can't disclose the amount I had to give him, however, I am sure he is happy. After doing everything that needed to be done we made our way to the LRT. It was my first time to take one of these but I was throughly excited to be able to try one. I know, right now I probably sound like a kid but truly I was excited. After about 5-7 minutes we finally made it to Segar Road and I could see the community centre not to far away from the station...

I embarked on a new experience today. I was invited to go to Uncle Nasit's daughter's wedding party which was situated at the Zhenghua Community Centre.

D & I arrived at the Community Centre with great surprise there were of course a majority of malay families that have known Uncle Nasit and his family for generations. I've never been to a malay wedding before but I have to say it's actually very easy going. The people I had met but not really talk to are super friendly. I can say one thing about malay's they love to sit together and share they're food and everything. They're quite a warm and loving bunch towards each other.

It was the first time I had gotten to meet Uncle Nasit's whole family. I had seen his oldest son before because he had worked part time in the ballroom. Actually, speaking of his son. He was there last night in the ballroom since his dad was not there, hence because Uncle Nasit was busy preparing for his daughter's big day which was obviously today.

D & I, we had both enjoyed the party and the experience that we had been given. Thank you Uncle Nasit and his family for inviting us and we hope that the newlyweds have a happy lifetime together as a married couple.

I just got back from the comedy night at Howl at the Moon. I would like to give a big shout out to Axis of Awesome! I totally enjoyed the gig tremendously and I would like to say you guys rocked the show by far! Well done! Good luck in all your endevours in the future. I would also like to give a shout out to my dear friend Kerry Ball for handing me the tickets. My friends and I throughly enjoyed it. I really want to say thank you! I also want to say thank you to my friends who showed up. It was nice to be able to catch up with you all. Alex, Ally, Han, Boris & of course D. I hope to make a point to see you all more often if time permits. Thank you guys. It's been a fantastic day. I love you all & Good night!

A short afternoon away, around Holland Village...

2008-07-26T03:07:00.000-07:00

My dear friend Kelvin had a bruise whilst playing soccer. He glady ran into a metal fence inturn he was trying to stop the soccer ball from going into the goal post.

D bought a pair of shoes from Queensway for $72 +++. Affordable right? :D

Robert Masanque : In the ladies toilet trying to burst open the door because one of our clients was stuck in the ladies changing room and was not able to get out.

Marvin Abao, Robert Masanque & Jai all working together to get open the door...

Holland Village : Cold Rock mashed ice cream with 20 over ingredients or toppings depending on person's choice... Looks good right? ~slurps~

The Logo for Cold Rock...

When I walked into the pet shop they only had dogs locked up in they're cages and they looked pretty miserable and sad right? I spoke to the sales girls that was taking care of the shop for the owner and they said that they were taking care of them by giving sufficient food and taking them out for walks twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the night before they close the shop for the day.

I did not think that dogs would even have strollers but apparently in this shop that I had come across they do and I would think it's quite pricey but it looks quite innovative. I am not sure how big the dogs would be before they would not be able to use the stroller but i guess it's a lot easier to use than to carry the dog in the branded dog bags... I would say a stroller is more affordable and all then those bags...

Apparently they have a good Laksa situated from Holland Village. I believe my mom and some of her friends like to go there to eat. I am sure it quite delicious because

I came across another and more professional like pet shop. As you can see i took a photo of the entrance of the shop. It looks more well structured and done right? It was a pretty big flight of stairs to get to the top of the shop however, it did not have the pet shop smell like the one we had first gone into so I was thankful for that. The dogs were placed in they're own seperate cages and full with air condition and was clean so the dogs hygiene was kept well.

This dog his fluff was white as snow. I believe it was a he and he was biting on this purple toy that was put in his cage. He seemed happy being able to play with it because he only had one toy in there anyway. Fortunately he did not care the people that was watching him whilst he was playing with the toy. I must say he had a pretty good character though which was fascinating to watch.

This dog belongs to one of the sales girls and she was roaming around the shop. She looked very contented with the things she could play around with and at the same time the people coming in and out of the shop. She seemed well behaved and cute. I didn't dare go up and pet it because i possibly could have gotten a scolding from the shop keeper.

This dog was napping and he pressed himself up against the glass of the window. D, liked him very much hence I sneaked a quick picture of him.

This brown haired toy poodle was not looking at me because as you can see he was quite busy biting the pink blanket and would not look up at me. But once he stopped and looked up he looked so cute. He had little brown eyes but at the same time he had a twin sister in the cage next to him and she was more hyper than he was so it was nice to see them so called placed next to each other.

This dog had caught my attention because it reminded me of this chinese movie I had seen by mistake which I just found out it's called CJ7. I actually sat through quietly and watched the movie. I throughly enjoyed it and I would watch it again. The little boy is quite cute, do you agree?

Anyway, I am back at work in the Ballroom and thinking whether to go out and meet my friends after work. I may go out or I might just stay in the ballroom. I got to get ready for work...

I am going to blog about nonsense now so please bear with me....

I woke up yesterday morning pretty early because I had a relatively early night's sleep the day before and so in the morning I do my normal rountine. I got my cute little self out of bed and went online to speak to the person I speak to in the morning called anirac aka my good friend carina. Although I have not met her yet I am interested and willing to meet her however, right now it would be kinda hard because of personal reasons I wish not disclose. However, I would love to meet her sooner than later. Or else it would just drag on and on and never end.

I made my way out to the bus stop on Napier road and caught bus number 7 to get off at dempsey so that I could walk up the huge hill to work. I got in but although I had woken up early I had been running late reason is because if I remember correctly it had been raining and I don't know about you but I got drenched. I did not bring a jacket with me that day so I was worried that I would or could get sick since i was not protected. When I had arrived to Marquez I saw shirley because pat had been sick and was on MC that day. I messaged her to ask her what was wrong and she told me that she had a headache and was not feeling good. So i mentioned to her that she should catch up on her sleep and such.

Work, it was alright. The same old thing, quiet since it had been raining and the weather here unfortunately has been rather bad. I dislike it very much. Drives me nuts when it's always raining. I just wished it would stop raining so it would not be such a big hassle for everybody and we could always roam around all day everyday.

I had been planning my night out last night for the whole day with friends online but I did not end up going out tomeet them. Instead I went out to meet another bunch after work last night which ended at 11pm. I had rushed down to Zouk last night and actually to be totally honest I was not entirely in a clubbing mood but since I had not seen ryan, agnes and koji i figured that I would go down and see them. I realize that unfortunately I have not been clubbing and I still feel the same. It's not the same as what it was once and also I find it boring but I guess then it would depend on the company that you have.

But anyway, after like a hour and half of clubbing, D had drunk 3 shots to quick so he was starting to get tired and as for me sad to say I got bored and I was also hungry since I had not eaten so we both walked all the way to Hong Kong cafe and I ate some noodle dish and toasted bread. It was delicious however I ate to much as usual.

Then he took me home and as usual i passed out on me bed...

A scary day for me.....

2008-07-22T00:24:00.000-07:00

I have been asked to go and see a doctor sometime today and I am quite concerned as to what they will do and how much it wil hurt. I hope that it would not hurt at all but we will see. I am not to sure as to why he is so particular for me to go and see this person but he seems to be quite persistant so I suppose i should listen to him yea if not he would not be happy with me. I had a good start for today. I had gotten to sleep in longer than normal which was a firsts for me so to speak.

Unfortunately, the girls in my house mentioned to me before i had left that I was not able to use my bathroom, reason being is because there had been a leak in the kitchen which was directly below my bathroom and they were not sure the cause of it. So they had a contractor come to have a look at it and he had told him to tell me that I was not allowed to use it for 1 whole week. Urgh, what am I going to do without being able to use my personal bathroom. I would have to walk 2 flights of stairs just to use the bathroom. What if i wake up in the middle of the night and need to go to the loo I do not think that I would be able to remember that I would have to go upstairs just to use the loo. it would be a bit ridiculous right? But anyway, I guess I will just have to deal with it for the next one week.

I have been talking to a friend of mine carina who I have been talking to a lot recently. Although at the moment we have not met in person we are able to click. I was lucky enough to see her picture via msn and I have to say she looks like a rather pretty girl even though in the photo she did not have makeup on but that's because I believe she had just woken up that morning and took the photo with her cousin if I recall correctly. I have to say that her boy boy wherever he is looks quite cute too and I hope that it works out for the two of them. I wish her and her boy boy the bestest of luck.

I also just got to know Rex's classmate who has been working part time in the Ballroom on a few different occasions at the moment because we are shortage of staff. He is a rather nice guy from what I can see. He's vietnamese but been studying in the same place as Rex which is Kaplan. Hopefully, I would be allowed to see him again in the ballroom and have the opportunity to get to know him better.

At work it has been quite a quiet day today. We have had like 2-3 clients come in to look at our furniture which was quite good and some of them spent a lot of time here but at the same time they ended up purchasing some of our items in the showroom which was good. Shirley, is a great sales woman and she's a very nice lady at the same time. I really like her and wish to get to know her better as we work together.

So as I had mentioned before D wants me to see a woman's doctor and I am not sure what she would do me since i've never been to one of these before. I pray that I will come out in one piece and nothing major would happen to me. I will fill you in on more later but now I have to go and accompany Fifi because she's not feeling to well today. Quite grumpy at the moment but hopefully as time goes by it will get better.

I have been saved by the bell. I did not need to see the person I had mentioned up above so I am super happy but wait till monday comes along. Wish me the best of luck. "Haha"

Anyway, for the rest of the night I'd just be lazing around at home with him. Nite Nite..

Rexie's Birthday

2008-07-20T04:05:00.000-07:00

Rex & Friends @ the bbq pit - 27

Rexie clapping to the birthday song before blowing out the birthday cake

Rexie & friends

Rexie blowing out his birthday cake

Rexie passing a piece of cake to uncle nasit.
P.S. Rexie well done on cutting your own cake :D

Hello Hello, it has been a eventful two days for rexie. It was his birthday hence I have not bothered to blog until something interesting ad happened to me. Well as you can see rexie has been having the time of his life for the last 24 hours.

The staff in the ballroom had organized a small but meaningful birthday cake from some bakery one of the clients told us about. Mandy aka Bucktooth had secretly arranged this cake for rex which I thought was really sweet and actually i was quite excited for him. I am not to sure why I was over excited but ya know it was quite a big moment in his life because it was his turn to turn a year older. I was extremely happy for him.

Anyway he was lucky to be able to collect some red packets who were there in the ballroom that evening. I have to say some of them did not realize that it was his birthday but when they did they were very sweet of him to give him some money packets.

Anyway, he was so nice to the staff in the ballroom. He bought us some mcdonalds. So we all had a little munch on something except for Aaron Tan. He just had green tea. I am not to sure what's so nice about this green tea but apparently to him it's good.

This Sunday I woke up around 10 am because my nephew liam came into my room asking for some pencils and papers for him to use so that he could draw. It was quite irritating because I believed my mom had asked him to come in every now and then so that i would finally get out of bed but since i got home the night before at around 6am i was to lazy to leave my ever so comfortable bed.

I finally got out of bed and went and got my stuff prepared for rex's birthday bash. Actually I knew i was like mega early but i wanted to be prepared. I was just doing my stuff over facebook and checking things out on the internet it had been quite a productive morning however, for some reason I had not heard from D. till later in the afternoon only when I had called him. Surprisingly he was already awake and had been playing with his neices and also had lunch with the family which was nice because in all honesty he had not been having spent much time with them.

So anyway, as time went by so slowly it had reached almost three and i was getting slightly worried reason being is because as usual he was running late and everytime I had called him he did not pick up the line, and to be honest I am not to sure why. I had gotten into a crampy mood because of him and there was not much that I could do at the time because he had not been answering the call and such he would not even have the courtesy to text me so when he called me back a few times I just totally ignored them until i had calmed down and returned his call.

I had been quite fed up that he has done this to me before and always for some major reason ends up apologizing to me and, honestly it was rather irritating but there was nothing I could really do about it. So i did return one of his calls and he had come to pick me up at Orchard near by to Tangs. I had felt rather annoyed with him especially since i saw him in the taxi looking all happy and innocent although I am not to sure why that is.

He came to pick me up from Shaw Centre before it had started to rain and we headed over to East Coast Park. I was amazed that we were able to get there before Rexie did or his friends. Amazingly, it was not wet however, it had rained a little bit. D and I had just chilled out there until Rexie and his friends had arrived. I was amazed how much food and drinks he had bought. Thank god he had help carrying the stuff to the pit.

We helped him take everything out of the and started to prepare the bbq. Rexie asked D to help prepare the fire because he was not to familiar of how to start one. Thank god D was there then to help them with that problem. Apparently D. told me once before that he was always there to start fires for bbq. I've been told he is quite good at that. Rexie had bought fried bee hoon, fried rice, fish balls and lots of other goodies and did I mention heaps of juice.

His friends slowly came on by one rucked up at the pit with they're things. I met a majority of his classmates. I've seen pictures of them on his blog and such so it was nice being able to see rexie's school life and of course rexie's friends from kaplan. They all seemed like a very nice bunch of people however I was not able to get to know them very well reason being is because D and I just hand like roughly about a hour and 30 minutes with them.

All in all I would like to thank rexie for inviting me and d. to his birthday bash at east coast. I had a blast truly I did and I am looking forward to seeing him at work on tuesday. heh

Busy...Busy..Very Busy!

2008-07-12T20:36:00.000-07:00

Hey Hey...

I am sorry for not having been blogging as often recently because I have been quite busy as usual with D. I went over to his place after having met up with a old school friend from Shatec. I was actually at work and did a very spontaneous thing which was ask my old classmate out for lunch because I have not seen her for almost more than a year and she had to be around Holland village around lunch time reason is because she had a appointment to get a tattoo done by this tattoo artist who worked around that area.

Over the last two days has been hectic, crazy though. I've been spacing time out at work as well as that cousins who are currently here from out of town and of course most obviously D. I know I don't admit that i don't like keeping myself this busy but sometimes it does get a bit stressful.

Anyway I had a good day today. I got up around 9 am or slightly before 10am because I had arrived home at like slightly before 4am and just stayed with my baby in the morning. I had a great time tho hanging out with him. I wanted to stay till morning but I knew my folks would have made lots of noise when they would have found out I did not sleep in my bed that morning so I was rushing home so that I would not get a scolding.

I managed to reach home and went back to bed and snoozed as much as I could. I had forgotten to turn off my daily alarm so like it rang at 9 am to wake me up but I believe I was to tired so it rung every now and then until I bothered to turn it off. I finally got up cos I recall Megan, my sister's kid come over and asked if I had a pair of scissors because she had wanted to cut some pieces of cardboard but if I do recall correctly I was not quite sure because when she came in I was still rather sleepy and not paying attention to her.

I finally got out of bed and took a shower with the hair and facial products that I had bought the night before with D at Ntuc and I have to say it is not all that bad. It makes my hair quiet soft and relatively clean and such, as for the facial wash it would have to be the first time for me to use something like this and I have to say it's not all that bad really. I am not sure though if it does make a difference to my face but hopefully we can see some difference in the up and coming days. I'll just have to be patient and see yea.

After having washed up I just lazed around in bed, checking face book, responding to some e-mails and such as time goes by waiting for D to come and pick me up to go and see Cheryl's performance this afternoon at the Victoria Concert Hall. She apparently had been practicing hard for this competition and now it's like 8.25pm at night and I had just received a call and she mentioned that SMU band got champion so I am really happy for them. Way to goo guys! You lot played really good and I loved the choice of music.

After that we stuck around for like a hour and a half and then we went over into town to meet my cousin who was down from Australia with my other cousin and just met up with them at Wheelock place, The Apple Shop because Chloe had just received her mac book and she was looking for some accessories to buy for her laptop however she was not able to find the stuff that she had been looking for because she did not have the casing for her laptop that she wanted. So i presume we had spent like 15 minutes looking and browsing around till she made her decision of what she had wanted or whether she had wanted to pick up the things that she had seen or wanted to purchase for her new laptop.

We finally left the apple shop and said good bye to my cousins and headed up to Shaw center to grab some lunch because at the time we were rather hungry since I had not had lunch and we ate some fast food. I had mcwings and D ordered himself a fish set from long john silvers which to be honest I've not had eaten in a long time reason being is because there's not many of those outlets around these days unfortunately. But yea, the crispy bits in it was rather delicious i have to be honest. Definitely, tasty but I have to be honest by the end of stuffing myself with so much food I could not force myself to eat anymore, hence I did not take any dinner.

Before having to head home, because i was supposed to have dinner with my family and he with his I had to go and pick up some snacks like bread for them from the bakery in Shaw centre basement as well as that I went to go and pick up some Japanese meat on sticks for them which was they're favorite and after I had done that we went back to Tangs shopping centre and grabbed a cab and went back home.

As i write this blog at the moment D is sitting around Holland V with his friend having coffee and chatting to his long lost friend. I hope that he has a good evening and takes care of himself. Please don't stay out to late and take care of yourself on the way home. Good night....

Last Night's Dinner

2008-07-10T20:27:00.000-07:00

I am so flipping full after the dinner yesterday. I believe I ate way to much but I have to say the food last night was damn good. Mary cooked steak, salad, corn and all the delicious food and to be honest I've never eaten so much in a long time. I am not to sure though as to why my dad threw a hissy fit about the desserts. He totally mucked up my dad which was terrible. I was in such a good mood and then in the middle of it his P.A. gave me a call and started to yak my ear off about me not being responsible and shit like that which totally threw me off and got me really pissed off with her.

Anyway, dinner was good. I met up with Auntie Lyna and her family who was down from the Gold Coast and they were staying over at my brother's place since they would have felt more comfortable there than staying where they had stayed previously which to be honest I am not to sure where that place is. But I believe since they were around family it would have been a lot easier for them all to move around and all that.

So far today we possibly could have had a good day because in Marquez we had a major client who came by to look at our furniture and so like there was someone who came by which was my sister and amazingly enough I doubt that it would be able to happen but like she found some pieces for our home in batam which should would have liked and so I managed to be work productive and like she picked out several pieces of our show room furniture.

Anyway, I am going to see cheryl tonight because she is dancing in the ballroom, and having dinner with Arlette and such and then after that I will be going to see my baby D. He is having dinner with his papa and mama and then he will be coming down to visit me at work so I am pretty excited to see him later. I was not in a good mood with him earlier but I hope that we will sort it out later this evening.

Bye..

A Great Day With My Two Bestie Babes

Cheryl & Dex found shopping @ Far East - 77th Street

A wicked sneaker which is only found in Far East @ Orchard

Fifi loves our water!

Fifi & I have the same watch....

I would like to say thank you even though I was not in the bestest mood earlier today I just want to say thank you so much for having taken time out to spend with me and I really appreciate it a lot. It means a lot for me and I would not do anything to change it. Thank you guys and I love you both.

I had gone to work this morning feeling quite shit because of my stomach upset and the so called cramp I had the day before but thank goodness for fifi saving my life by having bought me like menstrual panadol even though I did not really ask her to do so but she did and I have not said thank you but I want to thank you for having bought it for me. I am definately so touched with what she had done.

Anyhoo after the chicken rice that Pat from Marquez bought for me I took the tablets and after a while I was feeling slightly better which I was definately grateful for. I was so full after having eaten the chicken rice I could not move and as of right now I feel even more full reason being I believe that I am putting on weight and not doing enough exercise. All because of D. I've been eating to much yet he has been trying to get me to eat healthy.

My day actually had gone pretty slow until 3pm came around but like I was happy that I got to spend sometime with Pat and Alan. I managed to have lunch with him which was nice and it was good to be able to get to know him better. I have not really spoken to him until recently so it was a nice change. I got to know more about where he stays, a little bit about his family and whatever else he could or wanted to have shared with me.

I recall whilst the tea dance session was going on today Mikhail came in and he was teaching Cindy who was John Rey's client standard and she seemed to be having fun which was good. I was extremely happy to hear that he was having a good time yea. She I think likes learning from him which I presume is a good thing and so Yipeeee...

So anyway, I woke Cheryl up this afternoon becuase I was not quite sure if I were to meet her at 3pm because I recall texting her earlier in the day but she had not responded back to me as of yet so since i was concerned I had sent her a message and she kindly answered my call when I had called her up which was nice. I am so sorry for having woken you up and at the same time I am so sorry that your dog didn't let you sleep well enough that morning.

I got a bit annoyed with D this afternoon because he was suppose to be near the ballroom around 1.30pm but as usual he was running late so that kind of like pissed me off however I do hope in the future that he will at least try to be punctual or some sort if he decides to say a certain time and such he would stick to what he says and at least have the courtesy to tell me he is late if he is going to be late instead of wondering what would happen to him. Maybe I do think at times I am over reacting but I do not want to be left out in the air wondering what happened etc if that does make any sense.

I of course was running late to meet cheryl because I initially planned to meet her at 3pm but D being late as he was we had probably met up with Cheryl like 30 minutes later and I did feel really bad for having had made her went. We finally got into town and dropped off into Lucky Plaza and walked over to Tangs to meet Cheryl at the bags section. After having met up with her we walked over to Far East where we had spent the whole afternoon and looked at all the girlie shops and each of us bought something whether it was food, clothes for ourselves or something for someone else. I finally managed to find a suitable present for Fifi and I was extremely happy about that.

Cheryl bought herself a nice pair of heels and a top if I am not wrong. I would have bought myself something like that but to be honest I did not have enough budget at the time for some reason my pay was not out yet however I am trying to resolve it. As for D he bought a nice jumper which to be honest some of the di's wear at the place I work at night. Afer having purchased our goodies we walked over to Lucky Plaza and I took them to the chicken rice store which was my favorite place to eat that sort of food.

We stuck around nibbling on the dinner and then after that we went to drop my baby at the taxi stand because he wanted to take a train back to clementi because he had school and I believe he was running slightly late but I hope he did not get into to much trouble for missing his lecture. I wonder how he went in it and I am also curious to find out if he got into any trouble.

So anyway after dropping him off we went to Shaw Centre, the grocery store to buy some lollies and biscuits for ourselves and headed to the bus stop to catch the bus to Napier Road because Cheryl was dancing this evening and I had to work. I found it slightly hard to walk up the hill amazingly enough cos I had eaten to much and I am still feeling quite full amazingly enough. My jeans feel to tight and my stomach feels quite full. Ugh, I cannot believe I am becoming into a glutton pig. It's not a good thing.

When we finally reached my mom called me on the cellphone and asked me where I was and whether or not I was seeing dex this evening but I had told her that he was going to school because he was attending a lecture. So after that Cheryl and I just hung out with the others who were here till a few of the DI's came and took it easy which was a good thing. People amazingly started coming early this evening like around 8.30pm, however I am not to sure why we started so early. I think they were all eager to dance but it is good because it keeps ourselves busy.

Anyway I am still at work... Bye....

I've got the cramps...

2008-07-08T05:04:00.001-07:00

Well I did start of the day with a good start this morning. I woke up relatively early this morning and had gone to work at Marquez as per normal. Weird enough when I got there Alvin called me on the cell asking me questions cos I had dropped him a e-mail regarding my monthly paycheck which either was late or had not come on time. I am not to sure what it was but it was one of the two. So he gave me a brief chat on the phone which was rather nice of him to do so because to be honest I have not talked to him in a while so although it was brief it was nice to be able to catch up with him.

I was not feeling tip top shape because unfortunately today happened to be the first day of the you know what and I believe I do not really need to mention what I am referring to but thank goodness I had bought my tablets will me so before lunch I took two of them and they to be honest did take sometime to take affect but it does work one way or another.

I had a friend who well when we had last chatted we had a fallout and never spoke to one another again but all of a sudden today he messaged me on my facebook chat and it was wierd but sorta like nice to be able to catch up with him although it has been a while.

I got a surprise because April came to the ballroom to pay us a visit but when she had arrived i was passed out on the couch because I had just taken my medicine and fallen asleep to rest for a while before my lesson at 4 pm with Mikhail. I am not to sure what was wrong with my dancing shoes because the last time i wore them it was like about a few months back last year and I am not to sure but the heel has gone all wonky I felt like the heels of the shoes were going to fall off or something.

It was reaching 4pm and Mikhail had arrived in the ballroom. Surprisingly he was not wearing his croc slippers which i am somewhat used to him wearing. Instead he wore some really nice clothes which looked good on him actually. He went to change into his practice wear and I went to go and get my shoes but as I had said found it akward to walk in.

We practiced for about 2 hours flat and it was honestly hard for me because I had not danced it in a very long time but I have to say he said I was not that bad and he said that he was happy I was able to remember the things that he had taught me. I was very happy of course that he gave me all these good praises however I am not to sure if he meant it or was just saying those things to make me more confident. Nonetheless it was not making me confident at all unfortunately.

I was able to get Mr Wee to come and pick Mikhail and myself up from the Ballroom today to take us back which was good but before picking us up apparently he had to go to the hospital because Yasmin apparently had a nasty head injury and she had fallen and hurt herself on the glass in the play room so Mr Wee came quickly to pick us up and drop us off at our designated locations. I of course was going home to rest and take it easy cos I was still quite uncomfortable by night fall.

It is almost 9pm now here and I'm just going to spend the night talking to my baby D till I get tired so I hope it should be a good night ahead.

Been feeling sick lately...

2008-07-05T20:59:00.000-07:00

I've been getting a really bad cough and a sore throat which has honestly been rather irritating. I have no idea why I do not want to see a doctor about this until this morning when I was trying to keep awake at work but that was honestly a hard thing for me to do because I had a really late night the night before but thanks to auntie eunice she dropped me back home which I am grateful for.

I want to also say thank you to my love for taking me to the doctor so that my cough would be better because I have recently been coughing until my head hurts and I am not exactly sure how that works but yeah I just want to say a big thank you for that. I love you for helping me and taking such deep care about me and being there for me so far it means a lot to me. I hope that in times of need I can be there for you too someway or another and I want you to know that I love you so much words cannot express how I feel about you.

I have felt bad for a few days now because of what I did to one of my office mates in the Ballroom. I know he is upset and he has not really been talking to me so I would like to take the opportunity to apologize to him for what I had done and I hope that sometime he will start talking to me again and patch up the mistake I had done earlier although I do think it's such a small thing to get upset about but then again I believe if I was in his shoes I would do the same as well.

I am sorry this has to be a short post but I've been quite busy lately I will write more next time.

A good night out..

Rhea @ Thai Xpress - Holland V

D @ Thai Xpress - Holland V

Arlette & Cheryl

D & I

White Rabbit Interior

Unfortunately earlier this morning I was not feeling to well because I believed that I was coming down with a bad cough and a fever so I called up my baby I begged him to let me come and see him and although he slept really late or should I say early this morning he had allowed me to do so and I was super happy about that. So I managed to take a bus all the way down to clementi and i was happy with myself because i was able to recognize when and where to get off the bus or else who knows where I would have ended up?

So after having spent the whole day with my baby I had decided to meet Rhea for dinner at Bueno Vista. We decided to meet her at like 7.30 but we were all running late. So we most probably got there at like 8pm ish. We could not initally decide where to go for dinner so in the end we went to Thai Xpress and I have to say that food there was not bad at all. I enjoyed the food alot and I believe the others did too.

D was being offered to learn latin for a rather inexpensive price. I thought it had been thoughtful for Rhea having had asked dex about it. I do hope that he does think about this offer and maybe perhaps pursue it. But we will see because she has like 1 month here and yea does not really give much time but we will see yea. We had fun being able to hang out with Rhea and we enjoyed the food at Thai xpress D decided to get a discount card so like if we were to go there again we would get a slightly cheaper discount which is fantastic and I was happy that he decided to do so.

After that we headed down to Ballroom because John Rey was waiting for me to show up. So by the time we reached was almost 10pm and as I walked in John Rey confronted me about his budget I have or am getting rather irritated by it I am not to sure what I should do. It is always the same situation and I get slightly ticked off for no reason whatsoever. So I went out of the ballroom with no mood at all to dance instead I just wanted to hang out with D whilst he was having a cigarette so that was what I had done.

I just waited for my mommy to show up and then she would have sorted out the issue that I had with the guy and it was all sorted out so I was happy that should have done that for me. Thank you Mommy. After it was all sorted then I was in a slightly happier mood and I had gone to dance like a few dances with JR before having gotten a message from Arlette saying that she was going to be at White Rabbit so I told D and Cheryl that we would like head over to meet her and her other half.

We walked all the way to White Rabbit and apparently there was a birthday party happening there which happened to be a family friend so to speak so that was quite fun. A lot of old faces I have not seen for quite a long time so that was rather nice seeing they're faces once again and amazingly enough some of them had known about my boyfriend. I am not to sure how that happened though but I did not mind introducing dex to them.

We then had some drinks with Arlette's other half had bought for us which was really nice of him to have done so. Thank you Calvin. I did not realize that he happened to be good friend who's name is the "Urban Man Whore". He does not like to be disclosed as in his real identity however he is a really nice guy and I would have to say even though he is a friend of mine on facebook it was really nice to finally get to see him in person.

So we chilled out at White Rabbit till like about 2-ish and then we got hungry so we had decided to go for supper which was nice. We went to this place where they served like pork ribs and such which i have to be honest is the first time for me to eat there but I have to say it was not that bad at all. I rather enjoyed the food since it had been the first time I had eaten food like that. We just sat around and chatted about Cheryl's school and such it was quite entertaining and I was happy being able to get to know him better.

Fifi's New Set Of Nails

Fifi New Set Of Nails

So I spent the whole afternoon in the Ballroom after marquez with Pat. Marquez was rather quiet surprisingly but it had gone smoothly though so it was a relatively easy day for myself and I was happy about that. When I had arrived I managed to get there before Fifi so I was rather proud of that and I did see Dennis 2 sitting outside on the stool waiting for someone to let us in to the ballroom.

I had see the dog "Gani" from the furniture shop across the road from Marquez and so and his owner walked over to me and I introduced his owner Debbie to Dennis 2 and since they were both filipino they could have spoken to each other which was nice because it seemed to me like they had gotten along with each other and he even managed to get Debbie's number. So I am glad that they got to make friends and just hopefully that they would get to know each other better as time passes. Who know's yea?

I am thankful that Fifi had let me buy her lunch since it is going to be her birthday tomorrow and she will not be doing tea dance tomorrow but it reminded me that I had to go and do some shopping for her tomorrow but to be totally honest with you I have no idea what to get for her for her birthday. Perhaps, I will ask Dex for his opinion on what I should get for her. So far she's gotten two different types of necklaces. One from Esther and one from Mandy which I have to admit looks so beautiful and I hope that she would wear them.

So I ordered a couple meal from Pizza hut and 10 pieces of honey chicken wings. Fifi had the pizza and I had the pasta which was not that nice at all as well as that I ate the chicken wings and finished them off because it was the nicest thing ever. So delicious. I am totally inlove with they're honey glazed chickens. It took the delivery guy from pizza hut about a hour to deliver us the lunch because unfortunately he got lost but he managed to find it. He did try to call but I was not quite sure where exactly he was when he had called me but nonethless I found him and he found me so I was happy.

I was happy that now during tea dance the air con is on however I did not realize it would have been that cold because well as of right now I had managed to get a cold and that is definately not a good thing to have if you know what I mean. There were quite a few di's teaching today in the afternoon so it was quite nice being able to watch them learn, practice. I was surprised to see Arman back in singapore but it was like really nice being able to see him here. I was like so happy. I had felt bad because I remember when I had left for my vacation I could not have danced with him since my flight had left the same day as the night I had booked him but thank god I was able to get cheryl to dance with him that evening.

I am currently at work right now at 8.16pm on a thursday evening and I believe i am catching a cold because I am sneezing and my nose does not feel good at all. It is like totally blocked up and like as per normal I have to breathe through my mouth. I did fall asleep on the couch earlier and like I recall there was drool all over the couch but I was totaly embarrased and I believe i was way to tired so like I started to snore really loudly.

I miss D. so much even though I was with him till the wee hours of the morning which was about 3ish am. It was so nice of him to drop me home. I am currently chatting to him via msn whilst at work but I wish I could literally see him in person. I can't wait to see you tomorrow my love but as for tonight I will be good and I hope that you get a lot of work done. Love you. xox

Bye...

We were at the ballroom and it was a rather quiet night if I remember correctly. It was just Mandy, Fifi & I. We were just lazing around the ballroom and she had bought a big bag of chips as you can see above so we started to munch on it and we were happy just doing that.

After my birthday bash at the ballroom we all went out and had continued our party at Ministry of Sound. I do not recall the last time I had been there. I believe it possibly could be when I had met D.L. and his friends. So yea it was nice to be there with my friends.

Although I do not see them very often it is definitely a really nice thing that they did which was to come out and party with us. But in all honesty I was rather tired and I think everyone else was but they made effort to come out and party some more. Thank You.

P.S. We had gone to Spize after MOS and just chilled out till 6am. We basically ate and talked and I satisfied my Honey Prata craving. Yay!

A day in Sentosa with Ockey & D.L.

2008-06-30T08:26:00.000-07:00

I am scared of snakes...especially this one..

Ockey, D.L. & Myself @ Cafe del mar

Ockey & Hot instructor

I was called the night before this fantastic day out by a friend of my brother's who had a school friend here in Singapore on vacation and needed someone to take her out so I had offered myself to her. I did some research and I found out that this place was a good place to take her to cos it had a lot touristy things for her to see and experience which by the end of it was a fantastic choice I believe.

So I met her at my brother's friend's house around 11am however I was running slightly late because I had to run a errand for myself before having met her. So I had finally rucked up at the house of which where she was staying at and to be totally honest i had no clue as to who she was because I did not recognize her name or how she looked like but that was not such a big deal. When i had saw her for the first time the vague memories came back. I remembered one incident that she came a few years back that she and her family came to the Asia region and we had met up with them I believe it was in Batam.

We hopped into a cab when we finally got one and made our way to sentosa. It was a beautiful and sunny day that particular day and whilst in the cab we were just chatting away and she had been telling me about what she has been doing and like the last time we had met because as I had said before I had forgotten about it. It was a rather long cab ride but the taxi driver had driven rather quick, but the reason for that was because he had taken another job not long after we passed 3/4 mark of our cab ride.

We finally reached our final destination and we got out at underwater world which i figured would be a good place to start off at. So we paid our rather expensive entry fee to get into underwater world and i would not have thought it would have been that busy reason being it was not any sort of holiday but there was a number of kids there, families and as well as tourist. We saw lots of water like animals which was definitely fascinating for Ockey and I. Whilst wandering abouts Underwater World we heard a announcement on the loud speaker that they were having a Dolphin Show at 1.30pm at Dolphin Lagoon so Ockey had mentioned to me that she had wanted to go and see that show so we basically zoomed through what was left of the underwater world which to be honest was nothing spectacular.

So we went to the Sentosa bus stop to hitch a ride to dolphin lagoon. We reached there 10 minutes before the show started so that was a good start. We managed to get seats although by the time we got there most of the front row seats were taken so we just settled for the 2nd row seats which were good enough. It was so hot sitting out there in the scorching sun but I was relatively happy because then I would have been able to work on my tan. I do not think i have ever watched the dolphin show until that time I had caught it with Ockey and I must say that the pink dolphins are quite cute and at the same time rather intelligent to watch that's for sure. They had to sections of the show where they need crowd participation and Ockey wanted to participated in the events. Unfortunately the first time the ladies did not pick her but when they had called for the second round of participants I made sure that she was picked and she finally did. She and the other lady that had gotten picked was asked to play with the hula hoop and see who could do it better against the dolphins. Obviously the dolphins beat us "humans" at this game. But I have to say it was a fun and good experience for us the crowd to watch them at it. Soon they asked the two contestants to go into the water and play with them. Ockey was so ecstatic that she could go into the water waist deep and touch the dolphins. Ockey was so touched and happy that she got kissed by the sweet dolphin. I was so happy I could have made her day.

Ockey decided the next place she had wanted to go to was to the bird park where there were like parrots, snakes and such for photo taking opportunities. I did not want to take the photo with the snake but ockey made me and I was totally scared out of my wits cos I do not normally like slimy things around my neck. But anyway I got through that experience which i was totally happy about because it made me somewhat over come my fear of snakes. Ockey on the other hand was up for anything and she rather liked having had the snake on her neck. She took it like a breeze.

Soon after the bird park D.L. had called me and told me that he was going to join us shortly so like I was of course happy that he was going to come and join us. So Ockey and I made our way back to the the Siloso Beach and we took some awesome pictures of the lettering that they have when you get off the stop from the bus. We were fortunate because it had the letter O and the letter S so we both took photos of it and it came out beautiful. After our photo taking session we made our way to cafe Del mar however since I did not have bathers I wanted to go and check out the Billabong shop to get a bikini and some board shorts which I totally love but sometimes I do believe it is a bit girlie but what the hey. D.L. arrived to cafe Del mar shortly after three and he had met ockey and we had just been sun baking because I did not want to swim without him. I have to say they're beds are quite comfy and especially on that day there were quite a few relatively young and hip people there so that was nice. We blended in with the crowd just fine so i was rather happy about that. We had some lunch there and also a great time sun baking and swimming.

Before we made our way home we had saw this trapeze thing that looked rather interesting and so what happened was Ockey had wanted to do it so we went in and had a look and had asked the instructor if she could have had a shot and so she waited in line after all the kids for they're turn and it definitely looked like lots of fun although I definitely would not have given it a shot because I would have been rather scared and although I may seem strong and stuff I believe there is a possibility that I am somewhat scared of heights. I do have to admit the instructor definitely had a super hot body but since D.L. was there I could only look and not touch but I have to say Goofy was quite hot too. The guy at the top of the ladder. He had commented on my tattoo as we were leaving. I felt bad because I did not take a photo of Goofy. I should have done so. Oh wells... another time.

I loved that day so much. Thanks Ockey & D.L. for having made it so special.

Jokes

2008-06-24T06:10:00.000-07:00

An elderly man really took care of his body. He lifted weights and jogged six miles every day. One morning he looked into the mirror, admiring his body, and noticed that he was suntanned all over with the exception of his penis. So he decided to do something about that.

He went to the beach, undressed completely, and buried himself in the sand, except for his penis, which he left sticking out of the sand.

A bit later, two little old ladies came strolling along the beach, one using a cane to help her get along. Upon seeing the thing sticking out of the sand, the lady with the cane began to move the penis around with her cane.

Remarking to the other little old lady, she said, 'There really is no justice in the world.'

The other little old lady asked, 'What do you mean by that?'

The first little old lady replied, 'Look at that. When I was 20, I was curious about it. When I was 30, I enjoyed it. When I was 40, I asked for it. When I was 50, I paid for it. When I was 60, I prayed for it. When I was 70, I forgot about it.

'Now that I' m 80, the damned things are growing wild, and I'm too old to squat.'!!

Why Aging Should Be Natural

A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.

While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God she asked ' Is my time up ?

'God said, 'No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live.

'Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospitaland have a face-lift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair colour and brighten her teeth!

Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.

While crossing the street on her way home,she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, 'I thought you said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me

A Good/Bad Day

2008-06-23T20:04:00.001-07:00

I had a pretty quiet day in Marquez yesterday however it was good though because I was able to catch up with some long and over due paper work cos lately I have been rather distracted with someone which is good and bad in both ways but I love his attention that he gives me and also the care that he gives me when i am with him.

My dear friend Rex helped me put some music on my blog which I have to say i am totally grateful for. Now my Blog site is not so boring anymore so I have things for you to listen to whilst surfing my blog. Hip Hip Hoorah!

I feel like today will be a good day. The sun in shining, and the sky is so blue. I believe that I am going to love today. I just hope that I do practice very hard for the last minute but up and coming competition.

Shirley one of the office mates in marquez has like given me some really nice hand made egg sandwiches this morning and I would like to say thank you to her for passing them to me.

I got a beautiful present from my bestie fifi. It's a charming and beautiful necklace from Perlin's silver. It is so sweet and I have got it round my neck and I promise you I will never take it off my neck but I may have to only if my neck is way to fat but hopefully that would never happen. haha

I have been thinking about what Esther had told me yesterday that she is leaving the company. It is quite sad that early next month she is leaving the Ballroom. I am quite sad but at the same time happy for her that she is getting a new job and a better working enviroment than where she is currently and most importantly away from the "THING".

I just hope that she cherishes the time left with us before she adjourns to her new company.

By the end of the day someone made me in a shitty mood because of what had happened but I wish not to discuss it.

Bye...

Rex's sweet birthday cake for me

Esther, Fifi, Rex, Aaron, Mandy & I

I just want to say thank you to my friends for making this whole entire week so memorable for me. I would not have felt so special without them being here to have had celebrated it with me.

All the staff in the ballroom which consists of Mandy, Rex, Fifi, Aaron, Esther. Kaze & Uncle Nasit. I know it is a lot of work to have set up everything since I was or had been away when I had frantically spent very little time to invite all the guests and clients. I am surprised to see a great turn out thanks to all the friends who had come to my birthday party.

Also thank you for my new and dear friend aka Cheryl. She is a blooming flower and if she keeps up the good work her dancing will definately improve. Yay for cheryl. I cannot explain how sweet she is but she is totally sweet. I love her to bits and I am sad that she is leaving in a month or two to Italy. I wanna visit her if I can when she's there. I love you.

I also got to hang out with friends who I have not hung out or seen for a very long time. Or worse than that I honestly have not gone clubbing like I have had in the longest time but between you and me I do not miss clubbing that much. Way too many people, loud music not that I do not get enough of that from the ballroom and lastly but not least so many young people especially at the place we were at that evening.

I love you all and thank you so much for making it so special.

Mwahhh... xoxo

Greek Gods & Gondolas, Voyage 8318 - June 6 - 13th 2008: Athens/Piraeus to Venice

Places I went to visit :
- Athens/Piraeus, Greece
- Kusadasi, Turkey
- Santorini/Thira, Greece
- Sarande, Albania
- Split, Croatia
- Venice, Italy

I had a totally awesome time during my vacation since I got to spend a whole lot of time with my family which I normally do not do when I am back home so it was nice being able to connect with my family and at the same time get to know old friends and make new friends in the process so I am generally thankful for that.

I got to see and learn a lot of history which I would have to say is very rare that I was able to see it. I mean it is good reading about it in history books however it is even much more meaningful seeing it face to face and I have to say that all our tour guides were and are very good and definately knowledgable in the history of they're country.

I am sorry for the delay of this posts since I have not had much time to write since I drafted this entry since I had been rather busy over the last week so I would like to apologize for this.

A Wonderful Vacation

2008-06-14T06:14:00.000-07:00

Hi hi! I know I have been missing for a really long time on this thing but I have just come back from a flippin' good vacation however, at the same time I missed my friends and the going on's here in sunny singapore. One good thing I am really happy about is that I managed to get a tan so that was super exciting.

I have not been able to put any pictures on this particular diary entry however I should put some information of the places I had gone too so it should be more interesting for you all to read when I get back from work.

I am just super excited to be back at work and to be back in the swing of things however there is a small problem I am having and not extremely happy about but i guess I just hope that it will all work out for me in the end.

Love you alls, Bye...

The visual of what pigs we were...

Well here is a visual of how much food the three of us had eaten not to long ago for supper. I am stuffed and I seriously cannot believe I or we were able to eat that much. I think that we would try to get together at least at most once a week which is a nice routine which I've grown accustomed to and being able to spend time in between our pretty busy and hectic schedules it is nice to be able to just chill out with them.

I had a good day at work although it was quiet. Managed to get to see another side of Shirley which I did not know existed. It was good being able to see this first hand. Whilst at work I had the opportunity to make new friends which honestly I was happy about. I was able to get to know them all better as the hours passed. It is like almost everyday I get to learn something new about them.

I am to tired to write anymore but I am sure i will write more tomorrow.

P.S. Thank you to DJ Kaze for the song files.

The Sadest Goodbye..

2008-05-28T09:39:00.000-07:00

My dear friend who I have had the opportunity to have spent a lot of time with over the last 3-4 days is leaving on Friday with his family and relatives and one thing is for sure. I am definately going to miss him very much. I am not to sure what I will do whilst he's gone because even though we had started to hang out with each other it's like I am used to seeing him almost everyday. I just want him to know that if he ever does read this blog that he will be deeply missed.

I hope he has a great time with his friends and family in Penang and I will be looking forward to his return and spending time with him before I leave for a 10 day vacation. I miss you...

Ironman with JR, Cheryl & Bernard @ Marina Square

2008-05-24T04:38:00.001-07:00

Cheryl, Bernard & John Rey

We finally met up at around 12 am this morning and managed to catch the movie Ironman at Marina Square. I have to say I was not sure what to expect however, at the same time I did enjoy the movie more than I thought I would have. I got home straight after the movie because I had been feeling rather tired same as John Rey whilst Cheryl & Bernard had gone for supper somewhere close by.

I had a good and serious talk over the last few days with Esther which is good actually because I can honestly say that she is a really nice and down to earth girl not that I did not know that before but like I realized it just recently over these two days because I have had the opportunity to speak to her more as well as that we have been speaking on a daily basis which is nice.

I guess in general over the last month we have all been able to get closer to one another because of our current work conditions. I am grateful to all for being able to have this opportunity.

Bye...

Pat's Egg-wich

Pat's Home made egg Sandwich

The Parrot Man Rex

Dj Kaze Mommy's Mochi with Peanut

I was feeling sick as a dog yesterday. I am not to sure why but I had not got enough sleep the night before and so by that having happened I managed to get a bad sore throat same as Rex and it has been quite sore ever since so we were both unhappy little children. I had managed to speak to Rex this morning and like he had told me he had a totally sexy voice so it is something forward for me to look to when he comes into work later today. As for myself I have gotten better. Fifi had bought me some Panadol Cold last night and although I had been dancing with John Rey I had felt really tired, with a stuffed up nose and like crap. It was seriously terrible. But I went home and rested early so I felt a whole lot better now which I am really happy about.

So this morning I spoke to Cheryl on MSN. As usual she is busy at her work but she's doing fine. She has lots of things to do before she goes off to Italy. Oh dear, what am I going to do when she's not around. I mean even though I had just met her she's such a nice and sweet girl. I am glad that I have been able to meet her.

At work this morning I had spent time to move things around because we have new furniture coming in so it should be nice to see new pieces of our stock in our showroom. It has been rather quiet this morning but hopefully by the end of the day all I can hope is that it will get more crowd coming in because it is nearly the weekend so that itself should get more people.

I am so happy that i am feeling slightly better now however my nose is still slightly stuffed up but what the hey. I do not feel like crap like last night so that is something I should definitely be happy about.

Pat my friend and office mate from Marquez made a egg sanwich which she insisted me on trying was actually delicious. I enjoyed trying it. Aaron had eaten the other half of it and he said that was not that bad which i agree. I mean it took her time to make it and i have to give a shout out to her. Well done Pat. I hope that she can cook more food sometime and bring them in for us to try.

As for my plan tonight I am going to meet some new people that a friend is going to let me know so it should be exciting but at the same time I am nervous about it. I hope that it goes well.

I have to say this food was rather appetizing even though it had been after 3 plus in the morning. As tired as I had been I had a appetite to eat the stuff that we hard ordered however to be totally honest with you I was not able to munch on the whole plate of the Maggie Goreng. I had ordered the Milo Dinosaur and like I recall when I had asked Fifi what it was she had told me there was the dinosaur toy on it but when I had gotten the drink as the picture I took of it the toy was missing so I was rather disappointed.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the photos. I hope it was appetizing. Nites.

I am having a "Bad Day"

2008-05-21T07:28:00.001-07:00

This morning started off as a good day but when I had recieved a message from a certain somebody it made me feel really shit although I do not think he realizes this. He had some really bad news which was basically saying that he wanted to "STOP" something until he got paid. I totally understood where he is coming from but at the same time i was annoyed that he had told me this and also the way he had told me pissed me off a bit. It got me thinking and of course got me upset and angry with him unfortunately.

I had a good chat to my friend "Rex" about this issue and it sort of helped but by that time it was already late afternoon. It was useful being able to talk to him about this because he had given me some rather good and relative advice so I was happy about that. So I just want to say thank you to my dear friend Rex for listening to me this afternoon and helping me through the fustrations between two certain people.

I got a call form my mom earlier this afternoon and she had mentioned to me that she was going to Monaco that evening which I knew about however I was not certain as the day or time she was leaving so I spoke to her for a while which was nice because as surprising as it may be in I between our busy schedules we do not have much time to chat so the phone conversation was a good thing to have. I was happy about that.

Work is going okay. Since the last weekend it had kept me rather busy because I had a event which I had organized and planned and I am happy to say that it had gone very well. Better than I had expected so I was happy about that. I should have posted pictures up of that particular event but I have not done so because I no longer have them on my hard drive because I uploaded them onto friendster and facebook which took long enough as it was to upload in all three places.

I spoke to Chezza today in between her busy schedule running from the store to the computer and from the computer to the store. Poor thing she has been working rather hard today. And the funny thing was that she did not have much time to speak to me over the MSN. But we did get to speak so I was happy about that. I think she and her company would be rather busy for this weekends events that are taking place. I wish her and her office mates the best of luck with the event.

She was telling me about her dance partner "Bernard". We had gone wakeboarding on Sunday and unfortunately he had a terrible accident and hurt his knee. Apparently he was jumping from the platform to the water and that was how he hurt himself cos he jumped. I am not to sure exactly what happened because I was not there when it happened. But he had gone to see the doctor and he went to get an x-ray. According to Cheryl he has to rest for a week. Sadly, for him he cannot move around very easily and such so he would have to take time and not to strain his knee to much. He is currently on a cruise so I sincerely hope he is relaxing as much as possible and not over doing it.

Anyway. Rex & I will probably go for supper with chezza later so i am looking forward to that. x

Bye...

Cheryl Foong Your So Right

2008-05-19T21:21:00.000-07:00

In dedication to my dear Chezza I finally managed to try the Mc Griddles and you were so right. It was so delicious. Oh My Gosh you have got me addicted to a new food. Oh dear oh dear, and I am suppose to be losing weight not the other way around.

Anyway I had a awesome weekend. I got to spend a fair bit of time with Chezza which was fantastic. I managed to spend a lot of time with the Lucky Plaza Boys due to John Rey's Birthday Bash. Honestly, it was loads of fun having had spent time with them and also Ae Cabando who I had met via John Rey last year. She is a really nice girl it is just a shame we don't meet up very often however facebook allows us to keep in touch which is honestly fantastic.

I am happy with what has happened over the weekend and hope all weekends from here on out will be as fun as this weekend had been.

Bye...

Mr & Mrs Bucktooth

Mr Bucktooth & I

Esther

Fifi & I

We were just mucking around the ballroom waiting for our first customer to start and we started taking photos of ourselves from the "Iphone". I have to say the photos that had been taken did not come out to bad. We all had fun taking photos of each other. As you can see and tell who is more photogenic than the others.

Rex has been talking about the natural disaster in china which is like sad and depressing. Apparently he cried before coming to work he mentioned which I thought was so touching. He had mentioned that he donated $200sgd to the cause to help them. He had mentioned that he wanted to go to China and help out with them if he could but I believe that is highly possible at this stage because he is stuck in Singapore for the meantime for work. But I have to say that he is a very admirable person and I would definately give him loads of respect.

Bye

Donuts.. ~YaY~

2008-05-15T01:34:00.001-07:00

I would like to say thank you so much for giving me this beautiful donut from Mrs Margaret Ong. I think it looks super cute and delicious to eat I thought I would post it on my blog since I do not really have any nice pictures to put on here as of late.

I am currently at work stressing out about John Rey's birthday celebrations. I hope that we have a lot of people that can attend and also who would be able to celebrate it with all his friends and most importantly is that he would have a great time on that day. I know that his house mate are like doing a number for him as a surprise for his birthday so it should be a great performance i am sure.

As for other things going on in my life just been busy catching up with work and planning other parties. I have been trying to stay home as much as possible on the first few days of this week but I was pretty pre-occupied with other things going on so I have not had much time for myself.

I have been speaking to my buddie Lawrence a fair bit over the past few days but for some reason I have not been able to find out about his amazing date the other day with this ultra cute guy. I was sooo depressed that he turned out to be gay but I have to say he is totally cute no.

~NEWS FLASH~

Yay, the date was a sucess. He scored a goal. He got the guy into the sack. I wish i was succesful like he has been. He has conquered his quest.

I wonder what kind of birthday cake to get John Rey. Any recommendations of bakeries?

Mama's Birthday

2008-05-07T19:12:00.000-07:00

I have been stressing over this birthday party for the last few weeks because unfortunately it has been quite worrying as well as stressful reason being because the organization of this party has been all done last minute. We have been stressing very much over the guest list because there were some ladies which was not invited to the birthday party however they somehow invited themselves to the party and unfortunately they did not have the courtesy to tell me about it.

So that is why I have not been able to blog earlier until now so I would like to apologize for that. Well the decorations had looked stunning and beautiful i was happy with it all and so was the party girl. I was worried that it would not have gone any worse than the previous birthday party reason is because everything had not turned out as how the previous party guest would have wished it to have turned out because everything had to be perfect and according to plan.

Mom. Dad, Auds & Megan

My Family

About 120 people came to celebrate and dance this joyous occasion away until we could not dance anymore. It was all a joyous occasion for all who came and I just want to say thank you to all the ballroom staff for making it all worthwhile for everyone who came.

Byeee.....

I hate the word "FAT"

2008-05-04T07:16:00.000-07:00

I know I should not be making such a big deal out of this but it does effects my dancing because my dance partner has complained that I've been getting to fat. It was upsetting to hear this at the time because in all honest I was getting to fat and I wished i did not have to hear it but it was true. He made me feel really uncomfortable about myself and such I did not like the way he had made me felt. But of course I stuck up with it and listened to what he had to say and stuck with it. So from the day forward I just basically made plans for the next couple of days or months not to eat at all and just drink liquids.

Too depressed to talk... Bye....

I am crazy about Bubble Tea

2008-05-01T04:13:00.000-07:00

Bubble tea is a beverage of Tawianese origin that is popular throughout Asia and gaining popularity in the West. In the West the term usually refers to Pearl Milk Tea. In Taiwan, "Bubble Tea", a literal translation of a Chinese term, refers to a modern method of beverage preparation; to efficiently and homogenously mix various ingredients in these drinks (e.g., sugar, powdered milk, tea, and ice), drink makers often shake the tea up as bartenders do with cocktails. Thusly, prepared, a layer of foam forms on the surface, and any tea is prepared can be called bubble tea. After Pearl Milk Tea was bought to non-Asian countries, it was given the name "bubble tea." Since the most notable difference between bubble tea and the other tea is the tapioca at the bottom of the drink, some assumed that the "bubble" in "bubble tea" referred to these pearls, though the frothy layer created from shaking the drink is what gives "foam" (or bubble) tea" its name. The pearls in "pearl milk tea" however, do refer to the tapioca "pearls".

Friend's from the Phil are in town....

2008-04-28T00:17:00.000-07:00

Ello Ello,

Once again I have been pretty slack. Lots going on right here and also friends are coming back from other parts of the world so I have not been able to talk to them which is quite sad but at the same time I have been having a rather busy schedule and I am sure they have been busy too themselves.

Last week I've been busy with work and I danced like 4 nights in a row and by the end of the whole dancing in the afternoons and nights i was definitely danced out but I was happy about that because I had been done even worse than that before it did not make much of a difference for me. However, the last week when I had danced I got a few scoldings from John Rey because it was quite bad that I was not executing as much as I could have or should have done.

~ThiNkz~ What else have I been up to... I have been spending a fair bit of time with my Mom over the past weekend. I saw some of her friends when I had not been at work and such which was honestly quite relaxing however, when I had gone to Batam I got a ton of mozzie bites which I am not to happy about. They sure were so darn Itch I did not like it one bit.

I was also told my Dad's secretary that she got mumps which is a terrible terrible thing to have. I was not familiarized with what it was until I wikipedia it and found out that it had made her whole face swollen up like a big bee had stung her. I did not get to see her but I saw the effects of what she would have looked like if i had seen her by images i had seen when i browsed the Internet for it.

John and Josephine was on the Sunday but unfortunately I was not able to watch the competition however I was told there were a lot of people were there to watch but not to compete compared to last year's competition. The reason why I had wanted to watch it this time around because I had a few friends who were competing for the first time and they had come to support me in my competitions however there was conflict between my mom and J & J hence me not being able to go. Anyway I was told I was not missing out on much and surprisingly some friends from the Phil did not make it into the finals which I am sure they are totally upset about. I feel for them but then again I am sure they are used to get into the finals.

I would like to give a shout out to my friends who competed in John & Josephine which are as follows :

- Luyi Ong & Antonio

- Michelle Liem & Jun Jun Marante

- Arkardy & Rosa

- Livanne Jo & Bianca

- Boodie & Doreen Kng

- Lisel Mok & Neil

- Gina & Dennis Sy

- Elizabeth Sam & ?

- Ralph Victorino & Zeny O

- Jefferson P & ?

- Kevin L & ?

- Reynier Mercardo & Dearlie Gerodias

- Mai & Noel G

- Erolle Melencio & Judith Anne Melencio

I am sure there were lots others but I am not to sure who else had participated.

On Monday evening after work I met up with a friend for a meeting and I saw his wife who just came from the Phil and we had gone to Chijmes for dinner which was great. We had Japanese food which was absolutely delicious. I loved it and so did everyone else who was there I believe. But actually, I wished I did not have to go because I was pretty knackered as I was from the long day at work. I was like sitting half way through the meeting trying my hardest to keep awake.

On Tuesday I woke up really early in the morning and headed to work. I cannot recall as to why I had woken up that early however i woke up really early and went to meet a colleague of mine and grabbed some breakfast. Breakfast to me is like coffee so yea that was what I had. I realize it is not the healthiest thing in the world I had it anyway and it buzzed me up and it would have kept me buzzing for the next 3 hours just like "RED BULL". I do not know about you but I loveeeee "RED BULL" aka "SHARK" as they serve it in the ballroom.

That should be enough for now... Bye!

Slack...

2008-04-23T03:02:00.001-07:00

I realize I have been slack. I've been having late nights and busy days and to top it all off it has been raining a lot especially today but I do have to say it's good to be back in Singapore where the Sun Shines and where it rains a lot. It is just my luck.

I have been running from office to office as per normal which is always fun. It has been rather stressful somewhat and work has been keeping me rather stressed out since I had just arrived back here in town.

I am glad whilst I was on the Gold Coast that I was able to meet up with Phil. The last time I had seen him was when he was in Singapore and he only here or a couple of days to help his brother Julian to get a job so yea that was good. Was happy to hear that Jools managed to get a job in the Hyatt so I am sure he is totally happy about that.

Anyway, I've been speaking to Sven a fair bit today which was nice although we only started to chat about 2pm because I was out for most of the morning and at the same time he was busy with his own work because he has a event coming up this weekend.

As for Dex, we have not been talking much because I guess we are both busy with things going on in our little lifestyles but I am sure that he is doing fine even though we are not speaking. Although he should know that he is on my mind most of the time except when I am sleeping.

Since at work right now in Marquez it is totally quiet even now the fact that it is raining and pouring here. It just makes me want to sleep but obviously I am not allowed to that. How I wish. The Ballroom tonight should be busy and good I hope because i noticed quite a number of people had reserved tables which is great.

Back In Singapore

2008-04-21T00:09:00.000-07:00

Woooo, I arrived late last night and spent my evening un-packing my suitcase and catching up with friends on the phone which was good. I was happy in a way to be back in Singapore. I was happy to be back home in my room but I felt like shit reason because whilst I was gone in Australia I asked the singtel boys to come over to my place to fix the internet which they have to meddle with my phone line and such which was good but however when I had plugged in the modem and such last night it had not worked as well as I though it should have. But I've made a appointment for them to come tomorrow to fix it for me which hopefully they can. However, I will not be able to be there when they are at my house because I will be at work at the time so I just hope that they can fix it for me. ~prays~

Well.. I am at work right now. I've got a lot of things to do and people to call and friends to catch up with and meet so it should be good. Yay! Stressed though with work because I have deadlines to meet and I should have done most of it whilst I was on vacation but I can honestly say I never got round to it.

I got a sweet phone call from dex this morning. Actually, I called him up early this morning however, he was not awake at that time because he mentioned to me when I did speak to him over the phone that he went to bed at like 3am yesterday and like woke up around 1oam. Talk about like a really cute & adorable piggy yea. I am excited for him because he has his first dance class this evening in a studio which I cannot remember the name of but I am sure he would do well and at the same time have loads of fun. I wish you all the best. xx

Well for the rest of the day I will just be at work so not much to blog about..

P.S. It's really hot here in Singapore & extremely humid... *grumbles*

My Dedication

2008-04-17T05:52:00.000-07:00

I know I know I've been slack. I've been spending my days on the gold coast bludging, sleeping and eating and stuff and it's been loads of fun at the same time boring, I am totally enjoying myself being back in Australia though. This must be the longest or one of the longest times I've been staying here in Australia and trust me I totally totally love it.

Anyway I have to make this short but I have a dedication to a dear friend of mine who's name I shall not tell but he should know who he is :D

The Title Of The Song Is : No Air by Jordin Sparks Feat. Chris Brown

"No Air"

(feat. Chris Brown)

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake

It's 'cause you took my breath away

Losing you is like living in a world with no air

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave

My heart won't move, it's incomplete

Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how do you expect me to live alone with just me'

Cause my world revolves around you

It's so hard for me to breathe

[Chorus:]

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

It's how I feel when I know you ain't there

It's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gonna be without me

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

It's no air, no air

No air, air

I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew

Right off the ground to float to you

There's no gravity to hold me down for real

But somehow I'm still alive inside

You took my breath, but I survived

I don't know how, but I don't even care

So how do you expect me to live alone with just me

'Cause my world revolves around you

It's so hard for me to breathe

[Chorus]

No air, air

No more

It's no air, no air

[Chorus x2]

No air, air

Bye...

Finally @ The Gold Coast

2008-04-14T05:39:00.000-07:00

Revamping of my Blog thanks to my distant but good friend Mr Antaran had made some changes as to how my blog looks and I love the look. Thank you for taking some time out of your busy schedule to help me work on my Blog. I will definately treasure and admire the changes for many days to come. Thank you friend...

As I have mentioned at the title of this new Blog Entry I am now on the Gold Coast. Arrived here around 1pm this afternoon and am tired now but however I am not able to sleep for god knows what reason. But anyway last night after the comp I was not in the best of moods and so I stayed up till about 4 am catching up with friends and such and just chatting to them online and also speaking to some of John Rey's ex room mates in Thailand which was enjoyable being able to catch up with them even though it was online. I am sure John Rey has missed his old friends from there.

I have not been doing much but relaxing, sleeping and catching up with friends and such over msn and such. Just taking it easy really and my mom as usual is super busy with work and such so I have not really spent much time with her but I am used to it.

Actually, funny I should say this but I miss Singapore. I want to go home but at the same time I don't. I realize this does not make any sense but I know that i miss my friends and such..

Bye...

I found out earlier today that unfortunately after a long period of courting/dating one another than a friend of mine and his girlfriend broke up

I Did A Shit Job At Crown

2008-04-13T08:02:00.000-07:00

Well today was a big day cos we did the Crown Championships but the results we had gotten because of my dancing was totally shit. I was not impressed with the way I danced. I was really not happy with how I danced this evening and the thing was that we just entered one category. So we spent the whole day resting and wasting away in the venue waiting for our event to come up. I have to say now I totally understand as to why it is tiring waiting for the event to happen before it does like you just sit around and get pretty tired as it is. It's crazy I tell you.

I have to say I have never seen as many people as I had today packed in one place like that before ever in my life. It does make a major difference tho and the ambience is a whole lot nicer. It is now like almost 2am in the morning on the 14th and we just got back into the hotel room and I am or have just ordered some food for ourselves and I would have to say we are pretty hungry as it is.

I for one have not eaten so much today and actually the more tired i get the less hungry I become which is a good way to lose weight I believe but I could always be wrong.

Anyway, I know this is not so interesting but hopefully I will write more about today when I arrive on the Gold Coast later today.

Bye...

An Amazing Night

2008-04-11T17:40:00.000-07:00

Heya it was a good day yesterday. We had a early start to the last day of practice. It had gone pretty good. We woke up repacked all our things and like got ready for moving into crown. I had wanted to pack and move into crown to stay one more night there instead of staying at my aunts place so that John Rey would feel more comfortable and also he would not need to spend teaching my aunt dancing for the very last time yea.

So we packed all our things and then brought them to the main entrance of Alice's house and then headed off to the studio for our last lesson before our competition. I hope that we would or I would benefit from Julie's lessons that she has given me or else it would just be considered to be a waste of money and time for me, her and John Rey.

We decided to take the tram down to the city for the last time since we could always walk from then on in since we would be staying in Crown. So we got onto the tram after like 5 minutes wait for it to come down towards our direction. It was taking quite a while for us to travel down to the city cos the tram for some reason was extremely slow and like I had so much stuff in my bag which was making it extra heavy it's crazy to carry.

We finally reached the city and like we were 1 hour early but John Rey insisted on going early so we won't be late so we hopped onto the train at Flinder's Station but before we got onto the train we got some credit for John Rey's Phone because he had used a lot of it from the other time so we had to reload it for him.

I am rather p/oed right now because I have bought quite a lot of things for him this trip and like the money which my dad had given me has nearly gone and I feel shit because I have not been able to save money and like I can honestly say I have bought a few things for him so like yea it's just gone haywire. Shit I know....

We got onto to the train for the last time to take our last trip to Thornbury. I will surely miss the 30 - 40 minute train ride daily but I am grateful that we won't have to train it down anymore. We got there early and when we reached Ydance it was not opened yet so we went to the cafe near by and grabbed lunch whilst waiting for the group to show up.

Heard that they got like into a like traffic fine for like $220 dollars for speeding for some reason and i was shocked by the amount of it. It was bloody shocking and irritating. God I would be pissed off with the officer that had given me the fine. Julie was discussing whether to bring the officer to court and I believe that she should but I am not to sure if she should go through with it.

So we got to the studio and waited there whilst waiting for them to show up we went and grabbed some lunch. We went and had lunch at this Antz place which we passed every day on the way to the studio. As usual John Rey ate heaps and I only had a sandwich which tasted like shit but there was not much of a choice for me to choose from but I did not have much of a choice oh well. We waited for about like a hour for them to show up and it was ridiculous having to wait this long reason being the weather since we were sitting outside was getting really hot and shit so it was a hassle.

They finally showed up and headed to the studio to have our lesson. This would have been our last lesson before the competition and so we practiced really hard for the final time. Julia corrected some of our samba routine and also our rhumba routine and looked at our paso routine. She made us dancing all 4 dances one after another and that was tiring in itself. I was told before the lesson though by another dancer called Mario that in the evening they had a practice session at night but I could not be bothered to stick around and wait so that we could practice however I was told it was good.

I am getting rather irritated by John Rey. As much as he nice and shit he is really irritating and it's driving me nuts. I have no idea how to explain it but just the way he is getting on my nervous unfortunately I just put up with it and like he does not know how i feel and i can't be fucked to tell him how i feel. I am pissed as well for having spent so much money on his shopping for jeans and shit. It's ridiculous that i spent a shit load of money on him for clothes and shit and i didn't even bother to buy things for myself. I do not think he is even grateful for the shit I've done for him this trip and being considerate to him. He just annoys me sometime and I guess it is something I am going through and hopefully I will get through. Why does he have to be this irritating. Bah. I hate feeling like this and no one knows.

It was a amazing night last night. We had gone to fusion this bar in the Casino. It was our like first time to go clubbing like how we had since we had been in Melbourne and it was good. The place we had started off before fusion was shit but i enjoyed fusion because there was a guy talking to me but like nothing happened because the others were there. But overall it was good fun however by the end of it my feet were killing me.

Anyway, I got to go. Bye...

Busy Bee....

2008-04-09T19:01:00.000-07:00

Yes I know I have once again become rather slack and I have a good reason for it. For the last 2 days since i last logged in here I have just been plain ole lazy.

Well here is the rundown of what I have been doing since I last logged in. Nothing really interesting. Just been doing some shopping but not for me for someone else and also sleeping and eating and meeting up with friends. So far since i have been able to meet up with like 2-3 friends and hopefully I could meet up with more before i head over to the Gold Coast.

I hope when I am over at the Gold Coast that I would be able to spend sometime with Phil and such which should be exciting yea...

Well the weekend should be rather busy since the comp is coming up so we have been practicing or semi-practicing hard for it and also but I wished we would spend more time practicing harder for it and such cos like I feel a bit upset that lately especially this week we lost track of time and were late for the lesson with Julie yesterday and i got into a huge fit with myself and cos really pissed off because I was looking forward to practicing and such.

So anyway last night when we were supposed to be having a lesson we just hung out in the city and then went to toorak village to pick up some food and then over to my other cousins house aka ian and like was just nice to be in his house because I have not been in his house for quite a long time so it was nice to be there however i was missing not seeing derek since he was in the united states.

I know this is really short and slack but I don't have much to say today. I hope to fill you in with more over the weekend.

Bye....

2008-04-06T17:54:00.001-07:00

It has been a busy day over the last two days. I have been caught up with things happening hence, I have not been able to blog at all that much so i am sorry about that.

So well let me give you the rundown on what I have been doing. We had some dance practice over the last two days but I have to say not that much than what we should be doing. I wish we would practice more but John Rey for some reason does not want to but what can I do? I guess for the next week though before competiton hopefully we would be able to practice hard.

On Saturday we woke up pretty late in the morning If I recall correctly. We went into the city and had a wonder before our lessons at 1pm in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day on this day and I was rather loving having to walk around the city. I was quite nervous about like meeting Julie & Andrey's teacher cos I was honestly not sure what to expect. After having walked around in the city we finally made our way to the studio at Thornbury.

We rucked up at the studio half an hour early and there were quite a few couples and such having lessons so it was nice to see. They were practicing New Vogue. I have never seen this dance being danced before until I went to Tracy's Studio on the Gold Coast last year and learnt how to dance it with Don Don and such and it was quite weird however it was not to bad either. I do no really understand though as to why people would want to dance it.

We started our lessons at 2pm with Jim. I found him to be quite joyful to be taught from and he corrected like a fair bit of our rumba routine and made it stronger. I like what he did for us and he helped us with our connection. He fixed some of our steps in the routine and made it stronger too so I was really happy about that. He was very impressed with John Rey's body movement. He had given John Rey good praises and comments on his dancing so he was happy.

After our lessons we stayed there and practiced our Samba and such but not to seriously unfortunately. I wished we would have been more motivated to our practice however he was looking at some young chick dancing with her partner. I know I should not go into so much detail but still :P He does get distracted pretty easily. He is a boy. What can i do?

After our practice we made our way home by tram. We've been getting good by travelling by the tram. We travelled all the way home via the city. It was about 30 - 40 minutes by tram. We had to make a few stops along the way and the tram was getting more and more packed with people.

We finally reached the city and walked around for a bit more before going back home. We were kinda like dreading to go home reason being is because he knew that he would have to teach my cousin and Aunt which they unfortunately realize it's his job to teach them and not for free but of course they do know this and we just had a discussion about it yesterday night before going to bed. Unfortunately I do not know how to tell them and such if they want him to teach them more.

So we have been eating out a fair bit as well. Going around the town of Melbourne. I took John Rey to the St Kilda Sea Baths which was absolutely beautiful. We were there for about almost 3 - 4 hours. We met up with a friend of mine Jess yesterday and her boyfriend and had lunch in a italian restaurant at Acland Street I believe it is called. It was a beautiful and sunny day however it would not be possible for people to go swimming at the time at least not in the ocean yea.

So we walked along the market whilst waiting for Jess to show up and we saw some really nice things that had been done and made by the locals but they were unfortunately rather pricey. I picked up a coconut like bracelet which is actually quite nice. It reminds me of the bracelete that Lindsay Lohan wore in the movie "Mean Girls" John Rey had picked up a really wicked ring and something small for his wife which was nice.

We finally met up with Jess and walked towards the restaurant. It was a nice atmosphere and ambience in the place that we had gone too. It was more like a chilled hang out place but on this particular day since it was the weekend it had a few families and such. But overall it was a nice restaurant with good bread and dips which the four of us loved lots.

We ordered like two pizza's and 1 pasta which was not that bad. However I was not that hungry at the time so I just had two slices of pizza which I ordered. It was delicious. We managed to finish the pizza that I had ordered but there was only one slice of the pizza left. So we just left it with the other pizza that Jess had ordered and her boyfriend took it home. After lunch we went to Apples which is like a ice cream company which I do not think was that good. I would have rathered trampoline but I go a ice cream along with Jess and soon as I stood out of the store it had stared to melt which was not very good at all.

So we went back and walked along the Sea Baths and then we met up with a filipino which John Rey was totally happy about. He had seen so many motorcycles which he loved at the Sea Baths I had been asked to take photos of him with them. As crazy as it sounds it made him happy so I did it. And then we say something else that he loved which was the Kite boarding. It was a big thing that was going on that day and there were a few people doing it mostly men riding the waves with they're kites.

We had finally left St Kilda by about four and caught a tram back into the city cos I had arranged to meet Aunt Alice and such for dinner around 6.45 in the Marriott Hotel in the Lobby. We had time to kill cos it only took us about 20 minutes by tram to get to the city so we walked around again before some of the shops closed we had managed to see some nice things but however we did not buy anything from any of the stores we had gone too.

Whilst making my way to the Marriott Hotel I was getting a bit lost so I had to ask people for directions. It was rather irritating because John Rey was being in a irritating mood once again. He was getting on my nerves however I would of course not tell him. He's just like that I realize.

So we finally met up with my cousins and hopped into the car and went to Frankston for dinner. We went to have some Vietnamese food. I loved the Rice rolls that they had. They had put chicken in it and it was delicious however I did not quite like the leaves that they put in there. Other than that the others ordered they're own dishes but I have to say that the chicken in chill and garlic was also delicious. We were all pretty hungry and tired especially John Rey and I so we did not have much mood to eat at a slow pace.

After dinner we stopped by a milk bar aka gas station and picked up some ice lollies. I did not really like mine because it was rather heavy and rich at the same time so I just nibbled a little bit of it and then chucked the rest at home. When we got home it was intime to catch So You Think You Can Dance Australia. I had to say it was my first time being able to catch this episode and like it was good. I saw some pretty good dancers and I loved they're routines. It was beautiful to see them being so flexible and versatile. Totally impressive.

After the show had ended I headed back to the room and crashed on my bed as well as John Rey had crashed on his for about an hour because he had to teach my cousins and aunt again some music. This time he was focusing on Hip Hop and corrected her movements and gave her some new steps to practice so yes she benefitted from it a lot I would say.

Whilst John Rey had been busy teaching I was just checking my e-mails and such and then not to long after I headed to bed...

Another Long Day

2008-04-04T05:06:00.000-07:00

Once again I sit infront of my laptop expressing my thoughts and feelings about the day that is nearly over which I have 1 more hour to go. I got a few texts throughout the day today because my friends who have been trying to contacted me sent me a text message which was nice.

We woke up this morning around 11 am and so I had gone downstairs to see where everyone and what everyone else had been doing. They were all in the lounge room lounging around and I suppose waiting for us to wake up because I believe it was almost time for they're lunch. When I had gone down I was told that they were heading out for lunch somewhere in Carlton. We had gone to eat some pizza but on the way to the actual restaurant we had gone elsewhere to see whether or not we would want to try it instead of going to the actual destination.

We stopped at this rather hip kind of suburb called Frankston which I have to say in the years I had been going to school in Melbourne I had never been there before so it was a nice change. We had all rucked up to this restaurant which seemed to me like a vege kinda restaurant. They had a pretty nice layout and crowd of mix ages. The food there did not see to bad either and rather big servings however I don't think Jonathan felt like eating there cos they I presumed would have been craving for pasta and pizza which this restaurant clearly did not have. So we left that place and made our way to the place we had intended to go.

We rucked up at this restaurant which I presumed was built around ferrari's because that happened to be the theme of this particular restaurant. It had pictures of the cars and the Ferrari team and such it was rather entertaining. Even the waitress were all in red. It was rather nice to see them all dressed up and matching the decoration of the whole place.

We had a good lunch I have to admit. 4 small pizza's followed by a garden salad. By the time we had gotten the food we were all pretty much very hungry I have to admit. We gobbled it down like hungry monsters because the aroma of the food and such that we had smelt from other people who were eating there made us even more hungry.

After lunch we had gone to the New Melbourne Museum which once again I had not been there even when I had gone to school. It was definately interesting to go and have a look at because I have to admit there were a lot of things to see although we did not enter the museum proper we did get to see some of the exhibits and such. We came across a research center where they had laptops and particular exhibits such as minerals, fossils and what not so we spent quite a bit of time having a look at that. I found that rather interesting and educational because since i had not been in school for quite a while I have to say I have forgotten some of the things that I had learn whilst in school.

We walked around and came across the garden exhibit. They had taken a whole lot of space next to the museum and they had secured it off to the public. Unfortunately, the only way to be able to go in is by paying an entrance fee but we did not feel like going to spend a few hours looking for or at flowers and such so we walked by the park and took some candid shots of the buildings and such whilst we could. I had to say by that time the sun was shining and it was rather hot but beautiful.

We walked towards the car and headed over to somewhere near Thornbury to pick up some typewriters for Uncle Danny from the "Tyoewriter man". It took us more than about 30 minutes to get there reason is because Alice was not exactly sure how to get there and we were instructed by Jonathan and the good ole melways. In the car I was getting rather sleepy and Lauren had passed out but the only reason why that was is because I do not think that she was feeling all that well unfortunately. It took us all in all about 1 hour to go there and back so I figured it had been a waste of time to do that silly errand but of course I did not tell her that out loud.

By the time we got home it had been around 4pm or slightly after and I personally was feeling tired and bored. Unfortunately I had a bad stomach upset and so I dashed to the bathroom as soon as I had entered the front door. I don't know what it was but I believe it must have been something I ate which I was not really happy about but I was good after I had made my deposit. After that I went to room to laze a bit and then John Rey came up and asked me for some help because he had decided earlier in the day that he would cook for my cousins and me.

So we were getting down to business. Johnrey was cutting up all the ingredients and all I basically had to do was to peel the potatoes and also the carrots which seemed like a pretty easy job for me actually however I do not know why it seemed so hard. So I left John Rey to fend for himself in the kitchen with all the ingredients and I had gone to chat to a friend on my laptop for a while which was quite fun. Besides I realize that I know John Rey does not like to be disturbed whilst he is cooking a meal. He likes it to be pretty much empty and clean yea.

His cooking was almost done and so I headed back up to the room to change for practice in the ballroom that they had in the house. We just did one round of each dance and by the end of it we were both pretty knackered. I know it may be surprising however we were showing Alice our routine. I found the floor rather slippery but we managed although I know John Rey was perspiring even though the room temperature and such was rather cold.

After that Alice danced a little bit of Argentine Tango with John Rey since she had not danced it for the last 6 months so she gave it a shot. She put on her dancing shoes and dance a bit with him and thank goodness he taught her the basics to some of the tango moves so I was happy. She was very satisfied with it all.

After the dancing episode we sat down for dinner. It smelt so good. The adobo and the chicken. I think most of us walloped the chicken because it was really tasty and very delicious. I ate some rice and some of the chicken and the pork adobo which I absolutely loved.

After dinner I had a shower and then sorted out some personal issues and then went down to the living room where Lauren and Jonathan were and watched tv followed by putting videos onto my Ipod which was not that hard to do so I was happy with the results I got. So far I've got 2 videos on it so I am pretty happy about that. They are both dance videos. *Yay*

Well I got to go and head to bed because I've got a lesson at 1pm with Jim so hopefully it will go well. I am not to sure what to expect.

A Tiring Day

2008-04-03T04:50:00.000-07:00

We happily slept in today not knowing that my time was 1 hour behind the actual time. I had woken up this morning around 9.30 not knowing that it was actually 10.30 till I had gone down to say hey to everyone who was still at home at the time. I did not realize that our lessons with Julie today was at 12 and I had assumed that the studio was in the city somewhere but like I was so wrong. It turned out that I had to go to a far our place as far as Epping to get to the studio Crazy I tell you!

Anyway, it was the first time for John Rey to take a train in Melbourne and I figured it would have been a good experience for him since it is obviously the fastest and most convenient way for him to travel. So what we did we set of on foot to the Kooyong train station and waited a bit for the train that would have to take us to the City. It took us let's say 10 minutes or so to get to the train station although my cousin said it would only take us 5 or so minutes to get down there from his house. I guess we just did not walk fast enough.

When the train came we noticed whilst sitting down in one of the carriages that there was this really cute red-headed girl with her parents who were absolutely adorable. She was sitting directly opposite John Rey and was playing around with her father's mobile phone. She was I think only 5-6 years old and totally cute. She had caught John Rey's attention and was like giving him cute little winks and such in his direction which he totally loved although he definitely would not admit it.

So we finally made it into the city after 30 minutes train ride and like when we got there to Flinders Street station there were a lot of young drug like people which was not a pretty thing to see unfortunately and John Rey I would have to say I am sure he is not used to see this sort of thing not like in Manila or Bohol where he is from. I would think it is a eye opener for him.

We rushed to meet my Aunt in Collins Street because I had to print out the map that Julie had sent me on the directions of how to get to the Studio. I had asked one of the guys in the shop called Ian on how to get there and he said that it would have take about 30 minutes to travel to where I had needed and wanted to get to. So he said to go back to Flinders Street Station and go on the Epping line which was not that hard to find. He said that it would take another 30 minutes to get there. So I quickly dashed out of the store and gave Julie a call to let her know that we would be late. Before rushing to the studio we dropped by vodafone on Collins street and registered for a pre-paid sim for the both of us and finally we then proceeded to make our way to the Studio.

We got to Thornbury almost 2pm which was just intime for class. We had a bit of trouble finding the studio unfortunately. We like walked out of the train station and then towards the main road. We were not to sure whether or not to go right or left to get towards the studio. So I gave Julie a call to ask for directions but funny enough she was not to sure herself which way we should be walking towards so she had to ask Andrew on directions for us to be able to make our way to the studio. We finally walked down the main road and saw Andrew and then walked even further and saw Julie standing on the side of the road waiting for us. So we met up with her and started our lesson.

She had drilled us on our paso doble routine which I still feel a bit funny and akward about because I am not used to the hand movements and such. When I do it like if i do a stupid hand movement it just makes me feel odd and funny and to make issues worse is that John Rey laughs at me and if I get it wrong he would just squeeze my hand and that way I would know if he is upset or angry with me. So we worked on that for the first hour and a half and I think it was fairly productive in a way in such that she had fine tuned some our movements and steps especially on my part because John Rey knew how to do his well enough he didn't need much help.

We had a break inbetween so what we did we went and grabbed some lunch. Or should I say he went to grab some lunch a few doors down from the studio. We went into this little outlet run by a indian guy and he had some rice and chicken which apparently was very good but that was just because he was hungry. However, I was put of by the smell of the restaurant. He took his own sweet time eating as he does but that was only because I think he was tired at the same time yea. After he had eaten his food we went to the nearest grocery store because we were in search of some universal plugs so that we could use our phones and charge them. We found safeway and picked up some donuts and such for John Rey because one thing is for sure he would get hungry in the middle of the night and search for food but unlike last night he had rumaged through my suitcase for the biscuits that I had bought for Auntie Helen. But tonight if he got hungry he would just have to look for the bottle of water and donuts that we got so it would not be so bad.

Our next lesson was at 4pm so we headed back to the studio and John had crashed at the couch in the corner. So when Andrew showed up at the studio he had asked me where John Rey was and i didn't realize he had fallen asleep so we both walked towards the couch of where he laid and Andrew woke him up by feeling his arm. Whilst that was happening John Rey had a big smile appear on his face which was rather amusing. So we just sat there in the corner and started to talk about the couples that were going to be coming to Australia next week. We then started to talk about Bangkok because Andrew & Julie were going to be going there tomorrow for competiton and Andrew was asking John Rey about things that they could do and see whilst they were there. So John was telling him about the places he should check out if he had time. Some of the things that John had said was rather amusing to be honest. Then Julie had come to join us speaking about the comp and the categories as well.

We finally got down to our 1 hour and 30 minutes worth of practice. We worked on our Samba because little did we know our 4 dance was samba not Paso and I know that I am not good at it however like we've been working on Paso even when Julie was in Singapore thinking that Paso would have been our fourth dance. Terrible I know but what can we do. We just got to work and fine tune it as much as we possibly can before the comp and just do our best if and when we can. I just hope and pray that before this competition at least we do our bests and not worry about the results however I do hope we get slightly better than the last competition.

Finally, we had finished our lesson for the day and we sat down with Julie to schedule the rest of the lessons for the rest of the time we are here and we set it so that we would have lessons pretty much every day from the time she comes back till the following weekend and with all the practice and everything else I have been doing it should go well and smoothly. All I can do basically is just pray and hope it all goes well and of course practice hard. When our lesson was over we made our way back into Flinders and rushed towards David Jones to go and grab some universal adaptors which was finally found so we were totally happy about that. John Rey was over the moon because ever since we arrived in Melbourne he has been asking me for it and I did not know what to say or do to be able to shut him up but finally now I have been able to so I am pretty happy about that.

After getting the adaptors we were walking along the main road somewhere near Chinatown and we had passed some restaurants so I decided why not have dinner in one of the places we had just walked pass. John Rey had seen a Thai restaurant so we went on in. But for that moment when I sat down I got really tired and was not in the mood to eat any food unfortunately. So John Rey had ordered his dinner and I just sat there and watched him gobble up all his food. Amazing yea, he's so darn skinny but eats like super quick. I wonder if he ever gets indigestion??

Soon after we walked back to Flinders and hoped on a train back home. And now we're just chilling out. Actually John Rey's passed out in bed so I'm going to go...

Plane Ride

2008-04-01T22:52:00.000-07:00

Mr Wee had taken John Rey & I to the airport last night so we would not miss out flight. The check in and shopping spree that we had was not to bad at the airport. We had gone to get some toiletries and also I went to pick up some books which I am currently reading. One of them is called the Kite Runner which I actually went to watch the movie but I was told that the Book is a lot better than the movie so I picked it up and so far from what I have read I do agree it is good. Thanks Rach for recommending it to me. I really appreciate it.

Anyway i tried to sleep whilst on the plane and John Rey as annoying as he is stuck like plastic paper from god knows where in my mouth and that made me irritated and woke me up all the time because he was saying I slept like a gold fish but whatever :P

Woo Woo, I am live from Melbourne. I am staying at a cousins place here in Toorak and to be honest i feel a bit like an outsider. I have not really been in touch with this particular group of cousins for quite sometime so you know being with them like this for the first time is something new to me.

We had quite a while to wait at the airport before we could get through customs which totally sucked. It was like a 2 hour wait and that was absolutely ridiculous for the customs/declaration would have needed to take less but unfortunately they were not working efficiently or effectively. But we finally made it out of the airport around let's say slightly after 10am close to 11am. I know crazy as it may sound that was how long it had taken us.

So we got to my cousins house and we just totally crashed in our room and passed out because we were not able o sleep very well on the plane hence the babies crying etc. You know the usual stuff. Unfortunately, I was getting cramp so I had to cancel my lesson today with Julie and instead I just stayed in bed and rested my poor and sore tummy.

So being with my cousins is actually quite nice. I find them a rather quiet sort of family but of course I do not or have not spent so much time with them when I had been attending school in Melbourne when I was younger. Hopefully this time around I would get to know them better especially my two younger cousins. I have to say that they have definitely grown a lot and it's a good thing.

We went to the grocery store around 5pm and got some food for the day that we want to cook. It had gone pretty well but by that time John & I had not eaten lunch so we grabbed some bread rolls and munched them whilst waiting for Auntie Alice to return from the gym. Since I've been in her house I've been able to spend time with her and get to know her better and also go out dancing with her once or twice whilst I am staying in her house.

I am sorry for the delay of the posts recently because I have just been quite busy and settling in to my new accommodation.

Gearing up from Australia

2008-03-31T20:06:00.000-07:00

Hey, I know I know I've been rather busy over the last 2 days gearing up for my trip to Australia which is finally happening this evening. I am rather excited about the whole thing. My flight tonight is around 11pm so I've got quite a few things to do from now till then. For the last 2 days I've been running around town and certain places grabbing things that I would know that I would need for the trip that I could get here and would not be able to find there.

I am a bit sad to leave at the same time because I would love to take time to spend with my friends who I don't get to see much which I generally would not have time to see anyway but you know being in Singapore amongst them is always nice.

My flight it leaving around 11pm this evening and I still have not finished packing my things as of yet. I have not told Dale that I am leaving to make issues worse. I am rather stressed out by the whole thing but I hope that when I do eventually go home it all works out for me and I don't get to stressed out by it all.

The weather has been quite bad because it has been raining here today unfortunately and I don't like it when it rains as much as it had. I am feeling sad about having to leave the staff in the ballroom for like about three weeks but knowing that I will not seen them for such a long time I am not to sure what I would do. I am worried.

I cannot wait to go back home and finish packing of my things which hopefully get ready to head to the airport. Yayyy!

Bah, I think I am becoming speechless...

My Day & Movida...

2008-03-29T23:48:00.000-07:00

Woooah, it has been quite a while since I partied like I had last night. I went to Movida with some dancing friends of mine to celebrate Rosa's Birthday and it was a awesome night. There was a whole bunch of us there and the crowd was absolutely fantastic. I had gone with my dance parter aka John Rey and met up with a whole bunch of people through dancing there so it was a lot of fun. The group of us were there only started to get happening around 1am because then was when the party really started because by that time most of the people were pretty much high/drunk and it got rowdy so that made it even better. Well it would probably be the last time I would party before heading over to Australia.

I am quite worried to be honest about my australian trip now because last night I had recieved a e-mail from Julie to let me know that I would only be able to stay with her till Friday reason being is because she is going to Bangkok to compete and would only be back on Monday so tomorrow I would have to scramble to find time for somewhere for me and Johnrey to stay when Julie is not around. Oh well I better let my mom know and also find accomodation for us when Julie and Andrey is not around.

I am happy though with some of the buys I have had this weekend. I bought some jackets from G-star for myself which I could totally use whilst I am in Australia. It's perfect and stunning for the weather and all. I also picked up some new cd's which I have not gone to collect as of yet so my music collection is getting slightly bigger and such as it is I have a wide collection of music as it is due to my rather big cd collection which i am totally happy about. I am getting into lots of different types of music due to xue the nicest helper in ThatCDShop from Paragon. I've been going back most of the time since I've discovered her and she has introduced me to lots of different types of music which i am totally happy about.

I had a good chat with my mom last night and it was nice to be able to talk to her since I had not really been speaking to her. We had like about a 30 minute chat before I headed over to Movida and it as good because we caught up since I had not been able to have a proper conversation with her throughout the whole week. I am not to sure what I would do without my mom around when I am over in Australia. I hope when I am there though I will have a good time and at least do some shopping cos it should be slightly cheaper.

Random Thoughts Going Through My Head

2008-03-28T01:12:00.000-07:00

This has been one of the longest day of my life so far. I can't believe how slowly is has gone. I did have a eventful kind of day I would have to say. I got some stuff which I much needed to get done done so that I presume is something to be happy about.

Things I had managed to get done

Hair Cut

Buy Jackets

Make an appointment with Browhaus

Find Scarfs

I was happy I had managed to get a lot of work done in between all these running of errands which I was totally happy about.

Unfortunately I have developed a even worse ulcer than what I have right now and it is quite uncomfortable. I am not to sure how I had managed to get them but they sure are very uncomfortable however when you put salt on them the sensation I get it's great! I absolutely love the feeling.

I was able to speak to some of my friends thought out the day when i was not to busy. I will miss them though for sure when I am over in Australia. I do not know what I would do stuck in a place without them around or without having had contact with them. I think that I could possibly go loopy. Who knows??

I had a good time getting my hair cut done by a great stylist who goes by the Ann Lin. I met her about 2 - 3 months ago and I love how she cuts and styles my hair even though it is quite short. I have cut it slightly shorter since the last time I had gotten it cut so it's a lot cooler in a way and much easier for me to maintain so I was happy and satisfied with the service I had received.

A few days ago a friend of mine who I worked with just had her last day in one of the companies I had been working with and ever since she has left this particular work place to me it's just not the same. I miss seeing her face every day when I go into work. She was definitely someone very accommodating and also very sweet I really enjoyed having her here but I totally understand that there are other priorities in her life which she must fulfill so I just hope with whatever she does she will enjoy to the fullest. I miss her sooo...

Talking about last days it was another friend of mine's last day who has been working in the same company for the last 20 years since I was four. She has finally been released and free as a bird working for that company she had been attached too. I am sure it is a pretty sad day for her because she had been working in that company for the longest time and like without having her around just won't be the same as well. I think whoever her replacement is should be as efficient or yet even more efficient than her if possible but I doubt that it would be possible in anyway.

As I had mentioned I had gone shopping with John Rey and picked up a really nice jacket from G-star Raw which I totally love and the color of it is totally striking. I am so going to use it when I am in Australia. I managed to pick it up with good prices. Although generally G-star is a rather pricey brand the jackets I had picked were affordable and I had a special discount privilege so I was happy with the purchases.

At about three pm we had lunch at Pizza Hut in Lucky Plaza. Unfortunately for me I have been recently been put on a strict diet which is 1 slice of pizza followed by 2 honey glazed chicken wings and John Rey aka "Mr Gobbles" my personal nickname for him ate everything up. Gosh, I wish I had a metabolism rate like his because he is really skinny unlike myself.]

I am getting quite annoyed with him because a few days ago he had received a package from his wife from the United States and she had put Spam in there which apparently is not possible to get in Singapore. The immigration had to open the package and remove the spam and we had to go through so much trouble by writing a letter, followed by calls and e-mail just so that they could remove it. I wonder why the Singapore immigration has to make such a big deal just to remove a few tins of spam. I mean come on it's just meat.

The more I think of Australia I believe that John Rey and I will definitely have a great time whilst we are in Melbourne before my Mom to meet up. I do not understand why she does keep on changing her mind like she does but in all honestly I am totally happy that she is not going with James. He's just a really strange person or should I put it nicely a strange character to me anyway. I do not understand as to why she puts up with it.

I am at work right now anf the time is going by very slowly. I am not to sure why it is like this but today it seems like time forever is always going by very slowly and it's only 11pm. I know its crazy don't you agree.

I am contemplating in my next blog entry to put images up but I have not figured out whether I would want to since I gave never done so before but I guess I will just have to ask Rex for help for when I put images up.

I will probably head to Newton later for supper "MAYBE"...

Thank You To Kaze & Rex Lee

2008-03-26T23:52:00.000-07:00

I would like to say thank you very much to Kaze and Rex Lee from the Ballroom for helping me purchase my Blog and also for helping me set up my blog for like the 10000th time. Thanks a Million.

Today has been a busy day because I have been running around town running errands and also arranging my flight details and accomodation for Melbourne, Australia where I will be out of Singapore from the 1st of April till the 18th April. I will be spending about 2 weeks in Melbourne itself and then 4 days on the Gold Coast so that should be a nice break before heading back to Singapore.

I hope whilst I am in Melbourne even though it would be JR's first time there I would still have time to catch up with my school friends from St Catherine's as well as that show him around Melbourne as much as possible. Alongside that I would be spending a fair bit of time practicing so hopefully we as a dance couple would improve as much as possible. Oh and not forgetting seeing and spending some time with my relatives and cousins who are both in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.

~Thought Of The Day~

The weather has been horrid over the last few days. It has been raining rather heavily but surprisingly today was nice. It was like hot, sticky and sunny. Just the type of weather I like it made me feel like I wanted to spend my day on a sunbed on one of the beaches in Sentosa.

P.S. Fifi when will your blog happen by the way... www.waitlonglong.com. Anyway thank you for the technical advice you had given to me.

P.S.S. I would also like to say thank you very much to all the new friends I've made via Colloquy and I am sure that all of them are nice people and definately a start of something new. Thank you guys for making this a pleasurable experience so far.

2008-03-26T21:21:00.001-07:00

It's past mid-week and it's almost lunch time. I've been spending a lot of time this morning whilst doing work getting help from Ting's with the revamp of my blog. She has definitely helped me in more ways then I could ever do myself so I would like to say thank you so very much for her help today. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

I have been rather busy with work at the mean time working on a event that will be held next Friday whilst I am in Australia for a women's organization. I have got most of the details down for it and the things that will be taking place and such should be all set and prepared I just have to make sure my co-worker will be able to take care of it whilst I am away.

Other than that I've also been planning my 3 week trip to Melbourne, Gold Coast & Sydney. Apparently it turns out I am going to be in Sydney so I hope to meet up with a few mates when I am there. I'm excited to be able to meet up with them because when they were in Singapore last time round I was not able to see them unfortunately. It would definitely be a surprise to see them though I have to say.

I have been spending a fair bit of time talking to a group of people of this random site and I have to say although I do not really know them very well since I just joined it and started to talk to them I have to say they are a nice and friendly bunch of people however you do have to be careful especially on this site whom you choose to speak to you if you know what I mean cos I've been told and warned that some of them are just plain nasty.

I met this really nice girl though on the second day I met her she's been a really nice girl. Her name happens to be Anabelle. Although we've just gotten to know her I sense she's quite a easy going girl and fun to be with and totally outgoing. I mean come on from what I hear she going to Mambo every Wednesday night at zouk. I wish I had stamina like her but unfortunately for me I am stuck at work.

I am not satisfied enough with my dancing right now. Actually, I feel quite shitty about it I mean I know the steps but unfortunately for me though I cannot do the actions and my hand movements correctly so like my dance partner scolded me a few times this afternoon and he had told me I had looked stupid cos of course I was lazy. I do agree with what he says so hopefully I will work on it, watch a lot of you tube videos as well as practice my steps and movements myself from now on so that my dancing as a whole would improve and also so that he would never scold me again.

There are many new couples coming up though I would have to say. I would say that yes they are improving and also getting better I am totally happy for them that they have been training hard with they're respective partners and getting better because I believe the more you train the better you would definitely become. So I would like to wish the up and coming couples the best of luck.

I had just spent a hour watching dance videos hence because it was quiet in Marquez so I hopped onto You Tube and watched Paso Doble routines so I know how I should act and be whilst I am at practice or dancing with John Rey. Well all I can say is that he should be happy that I am doing what he had instructed me to do instead of wasting my time chatting to other people :D

I had come across a really nice Paso Doble routine on You Tube with nice music not like the usual kind of music you would hear. I would have to say it is rather catchy and the routine itself is not so bad at all. It is a show dance by Michael and Beata.

As you can see I have once again changed my blog layout because unfortunately for me I am not able to choose the right blog layout for me so all the things you had done for me Tingz has gone to waste and I am really sorry about that.

Oh dear, one of my gel nails just came loose and so I had to chop the whole thing off. So my friend Pat removed my nail for me with worry cos it did hurt at certain parts when she was clipping away at my nail. I would have taken pictures however the outcome of it when my nails were removed did not look pretty so i quickly covered it with a handyplast as what Pat called it.

I am not to sure if all of you know about Facebook but I am totally addicted to it and it's totally not funny. Hence other for work purposes I had purchased a blackberry. It's like Facebook compatible so I am over the moon about it.

I am currently in the dance hall now waiting for the crowd to start pouring in. So far we have only but in the mean time a girl friend of mine from Melbourne is speaking to me over facebook so that I suppose is keeping me occupied. I hope that if I could we could meet up whilst I am in melbourne. We are just speaking about dancing, work and you know the usual chit chat.

I had this crush that I liked for quite sometime and he just came back to Singapore and like everytime he comes back here I always spend time seeing him even though I should not but this time around since I won't be around for a very long time and he only just came back here I won't be spending much time with him, Another thing it's like totally impossible for me to be with him under our circumstances which is really sad but it is personally a good thing for me.

I just got home and now settling into bed as I write this blog. This has truly been a long day for me with a lot of scolding unfortunately from my dance partner. I did some practice again this evening and unfortunately I

was not dancing my best because for some odd reason I had kept on forgetting my routine for some of my dances which totally pissed off my partner which made him stressed which inturn made me stressed too because I was not quite sure as to why I had forgotten some of my dance steps. To make matters worse when i danced and like the jeans i was wearing today had been well worn and washed a many times. Well when i did a particular dance and had needed my legs to become somewhat flexible my jeans tore and the hole got bigger and bigger each time. I am just glad it did not get too big that I would not be able to dance in.

Anyway, I am knackered. Good Night & Pleasant Dreams To One & All.
