I am still waiting...
so since I was on Youtube, something caught my eye.
The code was disabled, so I cant embed it. Go search for it on youtube "Grimm's Fairy Tales Classics Rumpelstiltskin Part 1/3"
Sure bring back memories of childhood. But realities of adulthood put the characters in a different light - 出尔反尔 的国王和皇后，和吃亏的小精灵.
Just read the video comments..hahah!
The next video that I watched was Rapunzel..I can never forget the phrase "Rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair!" But gasp..the prince spent the night with Rapunzel and jumped off her bed in the morning?!!! and there was kiddo at the end calling Rapunzel mummy?!
I think fairy tales all have dark hidden meaning behind them and really meant for adults rather than innocent kids..
The Mojito Life - RUM for the soul, A sprig of fresh MINT for newness, A dash of sour LIME that puckles up your face, & Sweet SUGAR to keep Life going.

Unusual Instrument
I am sitting..and waiting..and waiting..for one email. Which contains what we gg to show to the big honcho tmr morning.
Which was supposed to be reaching me at 630pm..and then 15 mins later..and then 20 mins later..and then 15 mins later..and so on and so forth. It is 1045pm now and I am still waiting for the supposed email which is supposed to be reaching me in 15 mins time..
Now I wonder the possiblity of that.
With an throbbing head + aching body + warm hands and cold feet (signs of onset of yet another fever) + 3 tabs of triple guard..the only thing is to wait.
And of course surf the net and read blogs which I keep on my favourite list.
And that was when I read the rambling librarian's entry on the theremin. I have never seen this sort of stuff before..but it's real amazing. The sound the stuff emits resembles some classical instrument; and if I had never seen the machine before I would have never believe it came out from something made of metal.
OK..the video of the person who played using the mini-version is really kinda irritating with the buzzing sound it makes..but I really like the ones where the jappy looking guy and the geeky professor were playing.
And then I found the one with the cat.I think the cat played not bad :p
It continues to amaze me that there are so many things that we dont know even though they exist.
And if you are wondering..its 11.10pm and the email is still not in yet..the sms says another 15 mins...

呼吸也不能呼吸
呼吸呼吸（快抓狂 快抓狂）
要怎样 不然你想要怎样

谁怕谁 看谁先让谁投降
谁怕谁 谁叫你要让我抓狂

MAYDAY!!
WoOOHOo~~!!!
Had a baking session with a lot of friends this afternoon..but that is another story altogether. All I can say that is that it's so easy to bake nowadays! (though still falling short of my sister's passion in making so different types of cookies/muffins/etc..). My cheese cake was real easy and a sold-out..shall try the japanese cheese cake recipe soon!
The highlight..
Gie bought the tickets online..trust that she would get us good seats..
We were practically next to the stage! For the record, next year shall try to get the front row seats on either A17 or A16 for the closest encounter - can touch them one!
Before the start..audience hyping up..I should have taken a photo of my sis and I with our night sticks!
ANd we got to see the group moving in and getting ready on the stage before the curtain drop. 怪獸 was standing on the raised cage and turning on the bulbs on his costume. There were a few times which 怪獸stood at the stage where we were like only 5 metres apart:))
And that was 石頭
阿信!!!!!!!!!!
It's time like this that I wish I had a state of the art camera!
it was a solid 3 hours of non-stop mayday...and I was standing 80% of the time. Think they might as well sell me standing tixs :/

But the amazing thing was that there was this early 20-ish couple sitting beside me..they sat thoughout the whole concert, looking bored, didn't even talk to each other..I kept bumping into the guy's knees..I was like huh?! why would both of you pay more than $300 to sit there and yawn?! I bet I'm prob like at least 5 years older than them lor but I ended up being more enthu lor ..
Then I was wondering..does 30-ish ple go to rock concert? well..瑪沙had his 31st birthday yesterday..hmm...I wanna grow old with 五月天！！！suddenly I was imagining myself going to 五月天concert like those aunties going to 温拿五虎concert..hahahah~!
I regretted not buying the t-shirt which they wore for the encore..

Enhance
I was helping a colleauge to proof read some articles, when I realise that the word "enhance" or its variation "enhancing" seems to be omni-present. Developmental projects are to "enhance" current operations, new tools are to "enhance"our capabilities, implemented measures are to "enhance" our relationship building with our counterparts.
Regurgitation makes me uneasy. So I sought out my online saviour.......
From www.dictionary.com :
en·hance
–verb (used with object), -hanced, -hanc·ing.
1. to raise to a higher degree; intensify; magnify: The candelight enhanced her beauty.
2. to raise the value or price of: Rarity enhances the worth of old coins
So much for the definition. But the issues came back to ..are we intensifying or raising the value?
There are so many new things out that "enhance" our life - new tech toys with endless geek-thrilling improvements, new fusion gourmet recipes which combines the best of a little bit of everything, new diet formulas that promise instant results..
What happen to the basics they are supposed to satisfy? Soul gratifying simple stuff - my fav phone is still my old sony-ericsson which allows me to take great pics so far anywhere and anytime, comfort food is always home-made soup and my mantra for well-being is always moderation and balance in everything (though it's a stuggle to keep them so)
Perhaps I should just get a thesarus to solve my problem..well, there is always still www.dictionary.com which "enhances" my reports' vocabulary display...

I permed my hair. Think this is the first (actually it's the 2nd cos I think I permed once when I was like 6 or 7..funny why would my mum perm my hair when I was so young?)
Not used to the curls. I have always been the wash&go - no fuss girl.
Anyway my stylist started her own shop after working at her former salon for 7 years. What amazes me is that I discovered during my last trip that we are of the same age, just that she is already a mother of two, worked since 18 years old. Whereas I am still enjoying the freedom of singlehood.
命。运。时。
决定人的一生。
Anyway I gotto see her again next week cos I arrived really late today (7pm) and didnt have the chance to do colouring (we finished at 10pm). She has always been so nice to close up after my - her last customer - way after her normal hours.
xxxxxx
I am hopeless at changing blogskins!!! Gotto find Ms Doughnut for help liao.

Stepping out into the Sunlight
I am ok :) Really thankful for people who understand that things like that still hurt..no matter what or how the whole thing started or ended.
Just don't pull the scab which hasn't really form yet. This time round I wont even want to touch it until it drops off by itself.. Somebody* tried to do that - prying the wound open, coupled with caustic comments and it really didn't go down very well.
Forgetting that I'm still human, forgetting that I will still flinch from pain.
I pray for patience and strenght - to tide me through, and to step out into the sunlight. I need more happy stuff to blog about - my blog is getting more goth-like!! bleh~
Anyway I need a cheerier blogskin..someone tell me where to find?!
*The Leo - it wasn't you, so dont worry. (in case you still reads my blog)

Double Whammy
(1) Remnants of a fever which refused to go away
(2) busted right knee which was screaming through the night
How miserable can a weekend be..this will probably have to be it.

Succumb of the body
I am having a fever.
It's a sign that things are too much...running too many things at the same time, long hours. I cant even remember the last time I had a fever..could have been easily before May 2006 since I dont recall having taken MC since then. I learnt today that driving with a fever is not wise, cos I was like dozing off at the wheels while driving home from work at 6pm.
Sigh..really bad time to be sick..there are so many things to done over the weekend. Respite from the heavy schedule doesn't look it's coming anytime soon. Bo pian.. in the end have to succumb and search for fast relief - popped paracetemol and panadol. Think they are going to cruise in my body for the next 3 months or so...
The only good thing I can think of is really the rare occasion to climb into bed at 7pm. Hah.....~

Mad (and musical) week
This has been a mad week. I dont have enough time for sleep, not to mention blog...my bed and pillows miss me..they have been left alone for too long....... :((
Two uplifting events (which coincidentally are music related)
(i) Joanna Wang playing on repeat everyday of the week
I still cant believe that she is only 19..with her sensual and jazzy voice. Almost everybody who came into my office was asking who's the artiste. The only thing which is missing is a beach chair, the beach, the sea, a pair of sunnies.....
This is the only show that I have not read the sypnosis before watching it, so didn't know what to expect (and thank god I didn't, I would have put off by the storyline and dismiss it!). The music, setup was beyond what I expected. Although Mama Mia's story was better, but the energy of the songs, the acting made up and brought the energy to a high towards the end of the show, with everybody stomping and clapping to "We will rock you" and of course.. how can they leave out Bohemian Rhapsody?! which was the finale after the curtain call.
But I was quite let down by my phone cam..didn't do the poster justice :(
Another musical event is coming up end of the month....五月天！！！！！阿信！！！！ :p

Lost in Paradies - By Joanna Wang
I know that it might sound strange
But you made my seasons start to change
It happened so suddenly
Like heaven has waited up for me
I've just been looking so long
Kept meeting my Mr.Wrong
In every model and every size
Now my fantasy
Is staring at your eyes
Sometimes you think I'm beautiful
But I don't know
I'll keep it to myself
You say it,
It feels wonderful
My smile can show
I'm lost in paradise
The letters you wrote to me
Showed me the songs
I've never seen I thought every man I'd want
Falls out of a dating magazine
But I know that with you
That was so far from the truth
On every page and evert line
Now you're my everything
I guess you know how to read my mind
I know I guess that it shows
The message that flows to me
Makes it more worth than make believe
Digging this song now..feels like something good for a lazy afternoon at the beach.
