I'm waiting for someone to sponsor me a pink PSP.. ;p



K.. honestly, I'll just like 1.. not really needing or "dying" for 1.. ;p

Hmm.. so far no one has sponsored me 1 yet.. I'm still waiting.. ;p

Yeah.. call me spoilt.. but well, since some people don't mind spoiling me, then I don't mind being spoilt.. ;p

After all, I've received gifts like a Braun Buffel wallet.. DKNY watch.. an Esprit bag.. etc.. ( lost count of expensive gifts given to me ).. And the best gift I have ever received was.. my very expensive Dopod 838 Pro Pocket PC phone..

So what's next?.. ;p

Hmm.. so why not a pink PSP? ;p

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee

To Kill A Mockingbird - by Harper Lee


The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Putlizer prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.

Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behaviour - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 15 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American Literature.

Why the above introduction? :/

Cos' I'm reading this book now.. hehe.. ;)

Managed to visit the library last Sunday.. :)

Last Sunday, I managed to have the time to visit the library for awhile.. :)

After browsing through the shelves for awhile, I picked a book to borrow.. ;)

Guess what I borrowed?

I know it may sounds kinda "kiddy" but I picked Lewis Carroll's paperback Penguin Classics of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. ;)

3 classics all in 1.. :)

‘Contrariwise … if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic’

‘I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole … without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,’ wrote Charles Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one ‘golden afternoon’ in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. His dream worlds of nonsensical Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom depict order turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a disordered tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a seven-year-old girl a Queen. But amongst the anarchic humour and sparkling word play, puzzles, paradoxes and riddles, are poignant moments of elegiac nostalgia for lost childhood. Startlingly original and experimental, the Alice books provide readers with a double window on both child and adult worlds.

This is the most comprehensively annotated edition available and includes the manuscript version of Alice’s Adventures Underground and Carroll’s essay ‘”Alice” on the Stage’ written for The Theatre in 1887.

20th Singapore International Film Festival..

I managed to catch 2 short films at the 20th Singapore International Film Festival held at the National Museum on Tuesday night, 24th April, courtesy of Clement who gave me the tickets..

I caught Boo Jun Feng's "The Changi Murals" & James Leong & Lynn Lee's "Aki Ra's Boys"..

Nice.. :)

I, especially like 'Aki Ra's Boys" as it's a docu- feature on the life of the landmine kids in Cambodia.. :)

Aki Ra's Boys:
Boreak and Vannak are Aki Ra's boys. They are considered the luckiest boys in their families. They live in a home in Siem Reap, along with a dozen other young landmine victims. And despite both missing a right arm, neither child has time for self-pity. They're too busy exploring the bleak and beautiful world that is Cambodia, too busy playing, learning and dreaming of a day when they can be just be like Aki Ra - a former Khmer Rouge soldier turned anti-mine crusader.

What I'll love to do when I'm on leave, not working etc..

I met up with Clement last Monday night at Vivo City for dinner & just to hang out..

While waiting for him to turn up, I spent 1 over hour browsing the books in PAGE ONE located on the 2nd floor of Vivo City..

I love that place.. it's a mega book store which carries an extremely wide range of books of different categories & topics.. :)

I just love spending all my free time reading books.. I can spend endless of hours reading in a library, bookstore etc..

Most of the people close to me will know I'm a crazy bookworm.. once I start reading a book I enjoy reading, I can read non-stop.. oblivious to the world around me.. I can skip lunch, dinner, sleep etc.. just to finish reading the book as soon as I could..

I'm really looking forward to when I could take a day off again, so I could again do the things I like to do when I'm not working..

Like.. hmm.. let me see..
- Spending my free time reading books..
- Browsing in a bookstore / library..
- Taking strolls ( anywhere ) ( alone or with a close friend / soulmate )..
- Having a cup of hot tea in an alfresco cafe & with a good book / watching the world go by around you
- Catching a movie / play / film alone.. ( can be very therapeutic.. trust me.. )
- Visiting a place you've never been to ( alone or with a close friend )

Judging from what I do when I'm free or on a day off, it's kinda hard to believe that I'm a sanguine person, ya? ;p

Well.. I'm not that "noisy" as you guys always think I am, k? ;p

五月天 - 天使

This song is specially dedicated to both my dearest "brothers", Clement & Jason..

My drama workshop started since the 22nd of March..

My drama workshop started since the 22nd of March..

It's a very interesting workshop..

I've been acting since I was a kid..

I've taken part in drama since I was in Primary & Secondary school.. I've even took part in some drama productions in church.. & even though I've had so-called much experience in drama, I've never really "studied" drama from the very basics..

What we "covered" during the 1st lesson of our drama workshop was really useful..

They were very basic stuff, yet very useful & helpful to us to understand, to "feel", to "read", to "capture" drama better.. ( ok.. it seems like I am getting "chim" here.. ) ;p

We learned to keep the "energy" going in dramas & plays, we learned to read thoughts through actions, we learned to express our emotions through acting, to improvise etc..

We even had an interesting homework given to us.. ;)

To all my dearest blog fans..

To all my dearest blog-fans..

Hmm.. I wonder if you guys have noticed I've been blogging lesser & lesser as the months go by.. :p

Yeah.. I admit I've been blogging lesser these days & in fact, I hardly mention about my personal life for some time already..

*Sorry for not being so open as before about my personal life.. but I've learnt my lesson after the ugly experience I had when I shared about it many months back..*

Well.. of course, there are many reasons why I hardly share about my personal life anymore..

1 of them is that there has been many changes in my personal life.. my personal life has not been the same for some time already.. especially, recently..

In fact, for the few of you who have been my close friends & "brothers" for many years, do know what's going on in my personal life, ya?

All I can ever mention here is.. I've finally made a decision, after all these years, & I am finally "sticking" to it..

No matter what people say..

I don't care about what people say, how they see me, or even dare point their fingers at me or put the blame on me anymore..

I'm human.. so is everybody..

They may say I'm selfish.. but they don't see that people had been selfish towards me all these years.. I've tried not to be selfish, to be selfless, only care for others all these years, that's why I went thru' what I went thru' all these years..

We all made mistakes some point in life.. And I dare say everytime I made 1, I always dare own up to it & try to make amends for it..

Surprisingly, the decision I've made this time, my family members are no longer that affected cos' they are also for it.. guess they got sick & tired of seeing me going thru' the same cycle over & over again thru' the years..

In fact, now that I'm happier, they are happier to see me happier too..

I know what I went through, been through, gone through, tolerated through, suffered through, but I also know how much I've tried, did my best etc..

I've had good times.. appreciated it.. cherished it.. loved it.. will always remember it.. hoped it had lasted.. did my best ( I myself know I did )..

But sad to say, I've had more bad memories than good ones..

That's why I've finally made the decision.. after so many years..

I'm tired.. really tired emotionally.. emotionally drained..

Everybody has got their needs.. so do I..

All I know is I've did my best.. in everything..

Come what may..

I'm gonna make the best of the remaining years of my life while I can..

My cell group members, colleagues & buddies celebrated my birthday in advance yesterday.. :)

Took these photos of Shawn & myself ( using my Dopod 838 Pro ) last Sunday evening..

What am i?! A mutant?! Another symptom i have of maybe being one?!

I was so frustrated.. wondering if I am a mutant or what.. another symptom I have of maybe being one? :/

Maybe I should share with you guys why I said so.. then you'll understand..

Remember I told you guys, like a month back, I went to pierce another earhole on my right ear?

Well, that was about a month ago right?

Can you imagine my frustration when I removed my earring ( i wore in that earhole ) last night & when I woke up this morning, I couldn't find the earhole?!

I mean, how on earth could a earhole closed overnight?!

Moreover it was not my 1st time removing it!

I've removed it several times before.. & nothing of this sort happened..

As usual, always being so defiant & unafraid of pain, I always remove the earrings that were used to pierced my earholes with just a few days after the piercings were done.. :p

Even though the person who pierced my ear then, always advised me to leave it on for at least a week to prevent any infection.. :p

Even though i've never heeded their advice & still went ahead to remove the earrings just few days after piercing, those earholes have never ever closed before!

I just couldn't bring myself to believe how on earth could a 1 over month "wound" ever heal overnight?!!

Scary! Beats me! :/

In the end, after spending the entire morning trying to "dig" thru' the closed "wound", I succumbed to the fact that it had "healed" overnight.. :/

Thus, I did another daring feat by going back to the shop where I got it pierced, and got it pierced again.. thus, "opening" the "wound" yet again.. :p

A bouquet of 12 white roses..

Someone sent a bouquet of 12 white roses to my office on Thursday morning..

I wasn't even in office..

I think one of my colleagues signed the receipt for it..

So imagine my pleasant surprise when I returned to office that evening to see a bouquet of 12 white roses on my office table..

;)
