Gosh! I actually forgot my passwords... Must be having too much coffee. Maybe its the time of the night. I freaked out for 30 mins.... LOL
Finally completed the project. Now I'm looking forward to the non stop parties and celebrations!
Prince and I did our Xmas shopping today. We bought almost 20 items within 4hours. Again as usual, we blew our budget. LOL Not on ourselves but on presents. The largest gift box is 1.5m by 0.5m, and that's meant for my nieces. So you can imagine the poor sales assistant must have had a hard time wrapping the box. The girls did well for their exams, they sure deserve it!
I made no new year resolutions for next year, by the way. My resolutions has always been the same few anyway. LOL
This Xmas is gonna be the most meaningful season and a great start for the coming brand new year! 2010 vacation plans with buddies has been made. This time it will be a road trip so the drivers will take their turn to drive. We are all gonna can sardine ourselves in the car. Hummm.... Actually, I'm the only non driver.... No no no.... I'm gonna be the driver for this trip too. They need me to drive them up the wall... LOL
It's good to keep the child-like wonder going. We don't wanna grow up ( keeping a young heart) so we can keep moving ahead and experience new things in life. That's what makes life memorable, worthwhile and FUN! We all work very hard when its time to work and we sure play hard when its time to play! ITS PLAYTIME!!

Brain full of coffee beans
Noting new to update except the bad internet connections..... LOL
Currently working on a project, so for the last two weeks been lack of sleep and the rainy weather ain't helping to motivate me. I had to dig my brains out and fill my head with coffee beans. So now I'm officially declared brainless. LOL
Just a couple of days more before I finally get my short break....
I hope all is well with you. :)

BUSY
I hope all is well with you. :)
Things are happening well and I'm really thankful to heaven for all the blessings. Now I'm praying to heaven for more strength that is needed to help me walk the rest of this journey.
If you built it, they will come.

Memory Lane
The mini divas (my 2 lovely nieces) went on a movie set for the first time 2 weeks ago. I took them around and showed them every department and the crews were kind to take time to explain their jobs to the mini divas age 4 and 6. Thankfully both of them were well behaved and kept themselves silent when the camera started rolling. For that I rewarded them to share a can of soda.
The set happened to be at my old home, a place were the girls had some fun memories. I am naturally happy that our old home was captured in film because that was where I grew up.
We played at the old playground for a very short while. It used to be my playground too. Then we left after an hour or so as I felt the rain. My mom will deep fry me in her wok if the girl got wet in rain. LOL
I caused a funny NG take on set last week at Pasir Ris, it was an emotional scene and suddenly I had the urge to sneeze. I tried my best to hold but I just blew it. I can't help it. LOL Everyone laughed.
By the way there's a new documentary "Meet the natives" on NGC. I totally love it. The wisdom from the natives is truly wise beyond us. We live in abandance in this material world, we have ipods, handphones, cars and fancy malls. Back in the native's village, they live in simple hut, hunt for food with simple tools and travel on bare feet. Yet our wisdom did not advance as much as our advanced life. Anyway, bravo to who ever came out with this program.

I AM SUPER PROUD TO ANNOUNCE.........
This is a open letter for my older niece who just brought home her report book from school.
I hope she'll get to read/ discover this blog 5-30 years from now.
-----------------------------------
Dear BaoBei,
Time really flies.... I remembered you as the very tiny cute creature the day you were born. You were so tiny and cute that I was very afraid that I would hurt you if I'm not careful when your mom let me carry you for the very first time. I teared for joy. You were my pride.
For that I've always treated you as my own child because I felt my own blood flowing in you. Yes baby, we share the same blood. Your papa is my brother , your grand ma is my mother, so we all share the same blood. How could I not love you? I would even die for you.
Soon later , you started to learn to speak and walk. I was very happy that I was the second word you learn to speak. You called me TUTU. Mispronounced, should be GUGU but very very sweet.....
Then you started pre-school. You showed me many pieces of your art. You even drew me and slide drawings under my door a few times a week. You may not know this but each time when I see your drawings, all my troubles went away.
This day, as a primary one student, you came in 9th in your class of 30students. Needless to say I'm very very very proud of you. Not just because you are top 10 in class but the fact that you did as you had promised me earlier this year that you will do your best and which you did.
If you ever gonna ask me about my expectations of you. I would say, I hope to see you grow into a happy, strong woman who will do her best in life. Always believe in yourself and never believe in anyone who tell you that you can't make it, not even me.
If in any case you felt you had disappointed me, you shouldn't be worry. As long as you pick yourself up and start trying again, that's all I ever ask.
I love your younger sister very much too. I'm not gonna be very much alive 30-50 years from now. So she's all you've got when you grow old who shares your blood. Love her as much as we love you. Xin Gan, if you are reading this too, please love jie jie as much as we love you too.
I hope baobei you'll continue to work hard. Doesn't matter if you are not the best in school or at work when you grow up, as long as you truly give your very best. To me both you and your sister are already the best.
I got the honor from your father and your grandma to name you and your sister. In case you didn't know, your name means, one who gets what she work for. As your younger sister's name means, one who is content and the good hearted believes in hard work. So when put the two of you together, its perfect !!
By the way, please go shower when you are told. Be a good girl for my mother, your very old grandma who had given up her mahjong sessions for you.
Opps I gotta run now. Better stop my emo-ing here. LOVE YOU BOTH!!!!!!
Love,
GUGU

Bananas Diet Talk
I'm now on a experimental one week fruit detox (tested by a friend and supported by some "unknown" well known doctors but its experimental for me at least).
DISCLAIMER: Please do not and never try out this Fruit detox program written/mentioned in this entry/Blog. Please consult your family doctor for a "tailored made" detox program should you wish to detox.)
Today's menu is BANANA for lunch from NTUC FAIRPRICE and PAPAYA for dinner from THE WET MARKET! No I'm not killing myself. Just needed to clear all rubbish out of my stomach. Anyway by day 3 I get to eat fish. Hummm... I think so... LOL
Back on shoot tomorrow, rehearsal the day after for my performance on 20th Nov. Then after that rehearsals for my new singing gig that's happening on 2nd Dec, follow by spring cleaning, another few shoot, lazing around, FB-ing, then endless X mas & new year parties and gatherings.
I hope I can do something special for my dearest friends this year. Really need to thank them for sticking with me through thick and thin over the years.
For my family, coming Chinese New year, I may bring mom and papa to pull the handle of their favorite jackpot machines. The mini Divas will get nice school bags and as for my bro and sis- in law, I expect 2 angbaos from them... HEE HEE
Gosh .... How can I forget the coming Club 21 sale?? (Please let there be one..)
I gotta get back to my half eaten bananas. NOW....

Random Thoughts: No country for old cat.
Flowers bloom under good care of the gardener. The basis of gardening is sunlight, water, soil and love. My mom once told me that our old neighbour's flower plant blossom because he tied red ribbons around the branches. He also told us that plants have feelings. If one truly take care of it sincerely with love, it'll grow and do well. If not, even given the best soil and sunlight, the plant will not live long. It'll turn yellow, dry up and eventually die off.
I guess thats why my tree and plant died on me. I didn't love and took care of them enough. Maybe they felt that I lack of sincerity.
I love being around trees. Someone told me I never get to walk in a park because I never woke up early enough. LOL Odd enough, even when I woke up early I would never get to walk in the park. For 5 years, I've been dreaming of visiting the orchid garden at botanic garden, a visit to CCK farm mart and go cycling at Ubin. Strangely I never got to anywhere. Yes I know, all because I only dream and wait. So to make up for this, I'm gonna do it. Not just gonna sit and wait and just dream. First of all I am gonna enjoy my walk at the green belt near my house.

Slice of my life today........
HiHi! How are you? I'm having fun! Heehee Ronza's here!! (Mousehunt game from facebook.)
No seriously I've been having fun! Karaoke sessions, BBQ, playing kiddy games with my 2 mini divas(nieces), brought mom out for dinner and spending time with my friends.
Looking forward to work tomorrow! This is life!!
Looks like I'm gonna do another singing gig soon. Not too sure yet as this gig may crash with my other up coming work. But I guess I can work things out and get both my pieces of strawberry cake with peanuts on the side. Oh well we shall see what happens tomorrow!
Its quiet in the house today and I'm enjoying it. The mini divas are out with my mom. Hummm... Mom hardly gives me attention these days... (YES I'm Jealous) Guess what? She bought a bicycle for the mini divas! SO UNFAIR! As a child, I remembered I begged her for years and all she said was, "Its so dangerous! What if you get knock down by a car? ".
Not that as an adult now I can't pay for my own bicycle but its just not fair.... So thats the reason why I haven't got myself a bicycle till this day. I just didn't wanna upset her. Okay okay I admit again, I'M A GREEN EYE MONSTER!! Hahahaha

Slice of my life: The aftermath of mini concert
Hello! I hope and wish you in good health as you are reading this. I'm good, a little tired that's all. My mini concert was a blast. Its really fun to "trap" so many good friends in a space to hear me screaming out my bathroom songs. We all had fun.
Just 2 days after my mini concert, my twin bro Will had his surgery done at the hospital. He even "escape" from the hospital just to join me and crews of the concert for dinner and we all eventually ended up at Blowfish for drinks after that. Just 3 days before the dinner my mom was warded for 2 days for medical reasons. Then in between, my bro Rey the stylist, had his toe removed due to infection. Gosh, I know this sounds complicated and confusing. Thankfully everyone is back in pink of health. Bro Will is partying again, Bro Rey is resting well at home and my mom is already planning her mahjong session for the coming weekend.
That's not all, I had a small accident last night at home. I stepped on the fluorescent light on my bare feet..... OUCH! Thankfully its just a small cut. LOL

Just bee
Hello! Thank you for dropping by.
I've been really busy lately as lots of real life dramas have been on going. I always thought chaos is good because it gives me a chance to re-organize my life and a big possibility of bringing it to a higher level. There's always room for improvement. One will never move up when one keep walking on the flat ground as it may take you far but not high.
Nah I'm never bothered about minor setbacks because I think they are the distractions and may cause depressive illusions to whats bigger and better ahead for me. Dramas are good. A test to one's ability to problem solving. So instead of sitting aside to cry or standing on the spot to whine while doing nothing about it I'm gonna get focus of what needs to be done in order to get what I want.
So how many days more to my very mini concert? Let me count the days..... LOL
See? There's always still fun stuffs around. I'm not gonna overlook the goods thats already in my life.

Dreaming..........
How are you feeling today? Hope all is well with you. :)
I've been very very busy as I have so many things going on. Preparations for my "mini concert", Chinese drama shoot, photo shoot, family, friends and lots lots more.
Guess what? A vacation is "in talks" now too.. Hopefully it'll be at least for one week this time. Yes, planning to get back to Tioman island again. LOL
Talking about vacation, I haven't done my big vacation for a long long time. My China trip early this year doesn't count as it was for work. (Spent most my time on set and hiding inside my hotel room.) Two Tioman trips this year were made for friends. So NOT counted!! LOL
Hopefully I'll get to travel to either China (again) or Japan later this year. Of course if I can afford I would very much prefer to fly to Egypt, South America, Easter Island or Jordan. Oh well , hope I get lucky by getting more paid jobs or win lottery. Or at least let me fly to India please so that I visit the Red Fort and be on a Bollywood film set......
I'm feeling very motivated after my rantings/fantasizing/dreaming here. LOL
I shall work hard and I'll make sure I get to play very hard too! This is life! Oki I shall get back to work now. CHEERS!

Strange Funny Feeling
Strange. The more I run, the more it comes to me. I have tried one thousand ways and even convinced myself that this wasn't meant for me. Then, when came many times I knew I couldn't run away anymore, I did all I can to destroy it. I simply threw myself into the middle of pacific ocean just to see how deep it takes to drown me. But strangely, each time I managed to swim my way to the shore. I guess its all because I get many support and love from friends and loved ones who will go all their way out to support me, simply because, they, believed in me.
This little funny feeling of mine, kept fighting on. Listen to your heartbeat! I kept on telling myself. So now, am I destroying it or simply going all out to do it? I don't know. All I know is if I fail, I won't cry. This, I am sure. I'll only give my very best for everyone who believed in me. Come what may! What doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger. I'll survive, I had and always will. I'm gonna enjoy this. :)

Need more energy
I've been very tired and not sleeping well. Guess I really need to upgrade my room. It's time to replace the pillows and get new bedsheets made from Egyptian cotton. LOL How about making some money first?
I've had stopped swimming for one month and not been eating right too. What is wrong with me? I can't use the "too busy/no time" excuse on myself. Just not right, because I believe there's always time for everything.
So I guess I shall put on my swim suit in a bit when the sun is up. I have slept for two days after feeling feverish and the usual eye infection. So I guess it will be good to exercise a bit.
Many friends from all over flew in this month and there are more to come.
Gotta have more stamina so that I can have more energy to spend time with friends , work, family and events. Work in progress for my mini concert. So far so good and I'm thankful to my new vocal coach and musician. I've started to read bedtime stories to my nieces. I do make it a point to do so at least twice a week. Glad I had finally done it.
I'm not a superwoman. But I make sure I make time for people I love and cherish. Sometimes its hard to divide my time because there are so much going on and so many people to share my time but its possible. Now I gotta learn to have more me time. Yep, time for myself like now, this very moment, going for a swim.

The CHIJ Divas are back in town
We were just learning to sing "My Bonnie" & "Forward CHIJ" when we met. We brushed our teeth together after recess. We played "zero point" and barbie dolls. We feared the bees from the huge old tree. We danced and sang Madonna's. We teased each other when the boys from the next school wrote us letters. We ran 3.5km in the jungle of Bukit Timah. We plucked flowers for the nectar after school while we wait for the bus............
Our looks may have changed but our friendship remains the same. Till we meet again in DEC with the rest. Glad to see you girls again. Thank you for all the good memories and many more to come!HUGZ

Sharon's Tip on Pulau Tioman
Pulau Tioman, East Coast Malaysia, Malaysia
To me , Tioman Island is a place to really rest and relax. I've lost count the number of times I've been to the island. The best way to explore the island is to trek. The usual 3days 2nights travel package is not enough to appreciate the beauty of the island. My advise is to stay at least for a week or anything more than 3 days 2 nights. Be nice to the locals. Be nice to the resort/hotel staffs, make friends with them and treat them with respect, you'll be surprised on how much joy they can bring to you. Get back to the basics of simplicity. You'll learn many life lessons along the way. Explore other kampongs/villages.
If you are from the city, my advise for you is to store away your ritz carlton / hilton attitude. However there's one and only 5 stars resort on the island you may enjoy which is the Berjaya Resort. For me, I prefer to opt for a mid range room in any kampong/village. Because I prefer to explore and enjoy the serendipity on the island which is ubiquitous.
Here are the list kampongs/ villages/resorts you may enjoy.
1) Kampong Genting (Island Reef Resort)
2) Kampong Paya
3) Salang
4) Juhara
To me , Tioman Island is a place to really rest and relax. I've lost count the number of times I've been to the island. The best way to explore the island is to trek. The usual 3days 2nights travel package is not enough to appreciate the beauty of the island. My advise is to stay at least for a week or anything more than 3 days 2 nights. Be nice to the locals.

Bee
I had quite an interesting week. Running around as usual, went for shoot, spending time with my two beautiful nieces, met new people & made new friends, hanging out with friends that I usually hang out with, but still I am feeling bad that I kept on neglecting some old friends like Tommy, Christine and Justina. Oh well in 20 hours , I'm gonna hang out with a long time and super neglected friend in the isle of endless joy and fun for 3 days 2 nights. Okay in short, I'm going for a short holiday with my girlfriend to do some girl thing.
Finally met up and discussed plans with Fai & Robert for my very mini concert. Lots of work to be done. Fai and I had a great time jamming at Robert's hive. Yeah I call it a hive because, I love the surroundings and it is super cosy. The hive is a great hang out place for musicians and photographers. Gosh... I lost count of how many keyboards Robert has. There is even a grand piano in his living room. I did play a tune or two with the grand piano using my "three legged cat"(inferior/lousy) skill. I can't help it but to embarrass myself in front of the masters because its a GRAND PIANO!
I am very thankful that I got some vocal coaching from Robert who was very generous in guiding and giving me pointers I need for the concert. There was also this gentleman named Bill who is very talented. I had a great time laughing at his jokes and sang along as he played the piano. Today I almost wanna drop acting for good and start singing... LOL Of course I'm kidding because I want both my chocolate and vanilla.

A Mother's Cry
SUNDAY, MAY 10, 2009
I thought over, probably a couple hundreds of times wondering how to write this entry. At the end of the day, I still have no idea what to write.
Truth is when I first saw the email sent by Dr Aung on the amount needed to bring Charmaine to New York for treatment, I was shocked. $350,000 is the upfront deposit. I weren’t sure what currency it was in. Sent Jolene and Charlene a text message, ending the message with “I would give up if it is in USD”.
And of course, the bad news never ends.
$350,000 USD.
Half a million Singapore dollars.
How would I ever be able to raise this amount of sum? How do I convince anyone that Charmaine’s life is worth half a million dollars? I don’t know how. I seriously don’t know how. So many times, I want to give up. I don’t know how to think. I don’t know what to think. I don’t want to think. I don’t dare to think.
A week has passed since I received the email and I know I have already procrastinated a week away and made no progress.
I am brought up to think rationally and weigh my decisions against benefits and cost. Rationally speaking, I know fully well that half a million dollars can be better spent on saving thousands of malnourished kids in Africa than on Charmaine who only has a 40-50% chance of survival even with the antibody in New York.
But Charmaine is my daughter. No amount of money can justify how important she is to me. And Jase. Despite Jase’s young age and maturity, I know fully well that he loves his mei mei just as much as I do.
I would do just about anything to save her. I thought about selling my kidney, being a surrogate mom. They may sound stupid and crazy but my conscience feels so much better with me earning that USD $350,000 because I cannot think of any rational reason to convince you to help me save Charmaine.
I really thought of giving up. Its so much more easier and I am so tired.
I don’t want to think about anything anymore. Its easier just remembering the next doctor’s appointment, the next time for medication, the next time to pay the bills and just things I can do without thinking…
I even avoided Jolene and Charlene for a week because I have no answer for them. Their suggestion to go public and seek for help. My permission to allow them to publicise the materials.
Even as I am typing right now, I don’t exactly know what am I doing. I don’t know what I have decided. I don’t know the consequences of me typing this.
The only thing I know for sure is that should anything happen to Charmaine, I would never be able to forgive myself for not trying to fight for Charmaine when all she has to help her is me.
This is the very reason why I am typing this.
Dear friends, please help Jase and me to save Charmaine.
Thank you.

Double Happiness!
I had organized a gathering with my primary school classmates on 19th July and we are gonna have curry at Apolo Banana Leaf! Wanted to do a buffet party at one of the hotels but I guess it would be a little too formal to break the ice because after all its been so many years since we all sat at the same table.
I've found most of the classmates/schoolmates I remember of from same batch. This is so exciting!! Met up with Audrey Tan again a few days ago and she surprised me with Aileen Neoh who joined us later but I had to rush off to a wedding dinner. ARRGH.. Aileen must have thought I was crazy as I gave her bear hugs twice. LOL
By the way, I'm working on the details of my VERY MINI CONCERT in coming late Sept. Venue has been confirmed. But we haven't set the actual date as we are now into our pre-production stage. The exciting part about my mini concert this year is that we had managed to get a really cool musician to join our team. I'm really looking forward to it!!

Classmates Found!
Its amazing! I've found quite a few long lost primary school classmates the last few days. Audrey Tan, Jessica Leong , Teresa Wang, Alieen Neoh and Huang Shu Ling! I hope to reconnect with more.
Audrey Tan as I mentioned in a few post earlier that she now lives in Kentucky USA and now is back here for a few weeks. Jessica Leong now working as a nurse lives in Canada, married with 2 kids, Teresa Wang still lives here and married with two kids, as for the rest I haven't actually spoke to them yet. I found all of them from facebook, so it takes time. Alieen is still in contact with Teresa and Jessica is still in contacts with Shu Ling. I'm really enjoying my "detective" work here, finding those missing pieces of my life and reconnecting with people who were part of my life.
Here's a song to my found classmates, to the rest I'm searching for, not forgetting friends that have been with me till this day and all my new found friendship for the past few years.

Happy Bollywood
I used to watch Tamil movies during weekends on TV when I was much younger. Love it!! Bollywood is the biggest movie industry in the world for Bollywood makes 5000 movies a year leaving Hollywood way behind. I've been watching lots of Bollywood movies (Hindi) lately. Gosh They are so good that I teared! Plot , editing, cinematography and music are superb. They just get better and better.
Here is one that I really like:
Title "Billu Barber ": The actor Irfaan Khan as Billu is a fantastic actor! Script is good!!
This film is basically based on friendship between an ordinary barber who runs his saloon and a superstar.
The story talks of a village barber Billu [Irfaan Khan]. His wife [Lara Dutta] understands him and always stands by him during his tough times, his children forever make fun of him. Billu isn't able to meet his daily demands, not even making up for his children's school fee. But things aren't the same, a film unit visits his village to shoot a movie and with the unit comes superstar Sahir Khan [Shahrukh Khan] Billu's childhood buddy.
Billu's acquaintance during his childhood days with Sahir Khan is known to the entire village. Now the villagers make a U-Turn in their behaviour towards Billu. They treat him graciously. Everyone is ready to favor him in all spheres. But at the same time everyone starts coaxing him to meet the superstar, all for their own benefits. - (From http://www.whereincity.com/movies/bollywood/7820 )

The Evil Aunt (Edited)
I just have to do it even though my nieces already knew San Zi Jing (The Three Character Classic, Trimetric Classic) by heart at the age of 4. Blame the education system here. I just didn't want them to end up like me, neither good in English nor Chinese. Oh well, both of them wanna be High Court Judges when they grow up (Thanks to TVB Drama). So their language power better be not just good but perfect.
This June school holiday, my mom made me coach them time table (Maths), spelling and Chinese. By the way, the elder one is very talented in drawings. She has been getting Aces since Feb. She did well for this semester. Maybe not good enough for all parents and all evil aunts but I thought its good effort since she came in 13th in class. I am proud of her. I told her since the beginning of the school term that I'll be glad as long as she did her best in school and I believe she did.
The younger one is still in her kindergarden so I'm pretty relax on her so that she can have some childhood before she starts her crazy competition in primary school.
For me its a good practice for parenting in future. Prince told me not to push them too hard if not they might end up hating school someday. I am more worried about them having low EQs than anything. Anyway, I got the elder one read a book on history and species of cats since she loves cat. Of course there are many words she didn't understand but I had showed her how to go online to find the right pronunciation of those words and now she even has her very own gmail account. She sent her very first email to me just to say "I LOVE YOU!". Awwwwww..... I melted.
But I'm sorry. I still gotta be that evil aunt for her own good. Right now at this moment she's learning Zhong Yong - Jun Zi Zhi Dao (The Doctrine of the Mean). All I know is its gonna be good for her.......
---------------------------------------------
I decided its best to let my elder niece learn to write San Zi Jin (The Three Character Classic, Trimetric Classic) instead, since she already knew how to recite by heart. Today she learned 12 new chinese characters. Surprisingly the younger one was very interested to learn. Now both of them can write the first 12 characters of San Zi Jing!! Tomorrow I'll teach them the meaning behind those words before we move on to the next 12 characters. I'm enjoying this because I'm learning too!

Life
There will be a time one would come to a point that you are oh so certain that even prayer won't help. That's when you know you've had totally lost faith in what you had used to believe or had been trying to stay in believing.
That's just sad.
That's just sad.

June Celebration
In the month of June will be an interesting month that's filled with celebrations. 2 weddings, 3 birthdays celebration, one pub opening of a close friend and return of a good old friend from Nashville the music city.
Here's something I wanna dedicate to my two nieces for their birthday celebration this month.
My dear sweeties,
I was at the Flyer yesterday morning and saw an interesting quote on a gelato booth. "Life may not be the party we hoped for but while we're here we should dance."
So its done, I've danced my heart out all these years and am still dancing. There may be people who disapprove of my dance but I know at the end of the day and at the end of my life, I know I'll be smiling because I lived my life the way I want it.
Never let anyone stop you from doing what you want. Not even me. However both of you need to know the consequences of the wants you want, just like how I always taught you about effect and consequences since the age of 2. Be willing to face and bear all consequences and never cry or blame anyone for the choice you make because you already know what's coming when things didn't work out.
When you've made a choice to run you know well that you may fall and when you fall you should get up all by yourself and start running again. The need to be pity upon is worthless. Only inner strength is admired. Help yourself first before you deserve help from others. You should always appreciate a helping hand and do bear in mind that all help given shall never be taken for granted.
No one in this world owe you anything. Whats given should be deem as bonus. When you start to feel someone owes you something, you are taking life for granted because when you give something, you should never expect any returns. Should there be any returns blessed upon you, accept and appreciate it with a smile using your heart.
I wish both of well and find joy in life always. Happy Birthday my little warriors! Happy running and dancing!
Love,
Your evil Aunt :P
PS: Yes, I'm taking both of you out and you may enjoy Gelato.

Blame it on the hot weather
Its so cool to know my classmates made it to act in CSI Las Vegas(Yes, the American TV show by CBS)as episodic cast and the other made it to Apple's worldwide commercial. I'm so happy for them. It's like one in a million chance to get work like that in Hollywood as the whole street down at 3rd Street Promenade alone are filled with actors. Yep, almost everyone in Los Angeles are somehow in the show business. Its Hollywood after all. I hope the rest of my classmates will make it too.
Talking about classmates, I finally met up with one whom I had lost contact with for donkey years. It was great to see her again. The last I saw her was when we were in primary 6 and only until recently we hooked up again through FACEBOOK. She now lives in Kentucky and came back to Singapore two weeks ago. I wonder what happened to the rest of my primary school classmates.
I missed everybody.......
Here a sexy video for all my classmates. Please focus on the song not the images. LOL Leave me a message if you are one of my long lost class/school mate. Call me old fashion, this video is not/may not be suitable for age under 18.

Usual
Just finished watching a Hong Kong TV drama and was totally blown away by (林保怡) Bowie Lam Bo Yee. I must say he has superb screen presence and acting skill. I've got a 5 stars respect for this actor for he is really great at using his inner power on his craft. Charming work.
I've been having a great time hanging out with friends. The usual. The weather been driving me crazy. I can never function well when surrounded with still air. There has been quite a bit of dramatic happenings among friends but I know everyone will be fine.
It's time to stop pondering over what should be done but time to do what I wanna do.

Childhood Dream (Episode 1)
I learn to ride on the rented bike at the age of 12 at East Coast Park. Like others, it took me a few visits to the park before I got it right. I'm losing my youth day by day. Its now or never. I've been too busy all these years with other dreams that I almost forgotten the joy of cycling on a bicycle. The sense of freedom from the wind that clears my mind and blow all the fears away.
I wonder if they still sell that famous BMX bicycle from the 80s. It was my childhood dream to ride a BMX from home to AMW for a Root Beer Float! LOL Of course I ain't getting myself a BMX. Now I prefer to ride on a BMW and make my way to BMS (Big Mall Shopping). LOL Too bad I can't afford a BMW but I'll be just happy with a simple bicycle to cycle to the mall!!
My point is, I am getting my very own bicycle next week!! Don't worry mama, I'll be careful and will not fall. I promise you I will only cycle in the park but never in the dark.

Random Rain
Its all in the mind although imploding inside. Still waiting for the time when the dance feels right. The wind maybe cold, but only the skin will know. Hidden rain drips by droplets maybe just right for the eyes that couldn't lie.

I must have heard this a million times in my head. I never knew what it means. It all started when a passerby in my life told me this and after that it just kept playing back. Yeah It doesn't have to end up this way. Bla bla bla.
It's funny when it comes to human relations. It just gotta be funny for after all this world is all about human relations. Language, culture, civilization and all human race will not be formed and continued till this day should everyone had lived in isolation. What would have happened if Adam and Eve had preferred to live 5000 miles apart? Then I wouldn't be siting here typing on my laptop and there wouldn't be the word "I". So "I" was made up of two person who decided to live together to create life out of love.
ANYWAY......
Men are born hunter and protector so that women can care for the young. I once read somewhere that mice had the best instinct/sensory when it comes to choosing its mate. The female can tell by sniffing if the male had ANY bad genes that may lead to defects to the young. It will be wonderful if all females of the human race is born with that instinct/sensory. LOL

My date with spring ........
Nope I didn't go to Kuala Lumpur after all. I had let go my chance to be in my dream musical. There's no explanation. I guess its not meant for me yet.
Finally acting school is over. Met a few interesting characters from all walks of life. I didn't really put in much effort to make friends. Maybe I do sound a little "proud". Not that I'm not interested to make new friends but my main objective there is to learn and re-learn my craft. After all an actor is a lonely profession.
However, there were a few interesting people who reminded me when I first started acting many years ago. They have so much life and passion for the craft. Not that I've had lost mine but by being near them, their passion energize me whenever I almost fall asleep in class because I was so tired from shoot and being ill. There were also a few experience actors and they are pretty good. I learned so much from everyone.
Anyway, I am gonna go for a very short holiday on the 16th Apr - 19th Apr. I'm also not gonna work (no matter what) from 16th Apr - 22nd Apr because its my very own special week every year. Unless I get paid 10k per day for that week. LOL
So where am I going to? Somewhere with sun, sea, sand and of course lots of coconut trees for shade and hammock....

Random Restlessness
I'm happy that I'll get to sing for the old folks home sometime in mid of May. Nope, I'm not doing karaoke style but a two piece band. Just me and my guitarist. Gonna sing mainly in Cantonese and Mandrian oldies and I'm doing it for free.
Tonight I'm feeling very restless. I guess I am mainly upset about the fact that I couldn't get my bedroom light fix. Its been 4 months since I've been relying on my table lamp. ARRGH Two of my toe nails broke a few days ago. OUCH!
And I wonder who called me at 4am just now. No caller ID.
Someone actually put up a camping/sleeping tent below my apartment block. I wonder who's sleeping inside. Must be the hot weather.
Mom has been coughing very badly every night. I hope she gets well soon.
Can't wait to bring grandma out for dinner next week.

Drained but happy
I attended Harry's ROM ceremony early this afternoon and gonna go celebrate with the newly weds later at Simon's pub which also happens to be the first day in business. Went to see doc with mom just now. Both of us are not feeling well. I'm still coughing and mom had fever. Today I received words from my actor friend who I met in china. Glad to have him added on MSN. Puppy is doing well at Mdm Tan's so far. Glad he found a job.
I'm gonna slow down a bit for the next few days. Gotta really nurse my health back. Latest thing is I had eye infection. Cosmetics allegry. LOL
I just wanna eat, sleep and play all I can for the next two days before I get emotionally drained with work again. On the whole, even with cough, eye infection, emotionally drained at work and school and being tired, I am still very happy.

Home at last
I got off the plane at 5pm yesterday and rushed to my acting class which starts at 630pm together with my luggage and "trophies" from the duty free. I had missed 2 lessons, can't afford to miss anymore. Yeah, I looked dramatic the moment I arrived at school.
I couldn't sleep last night even though I was really tired, only managed to fall asleep at 5am after I switched on the A/C. I guess my body is adjusting back to the hot weather here. This afternoon the heat was almost unbearable for me. I couldn't get myself off the bed. Mom made special tonic soup for me during dinner.
I just woke up from a nap. Gotta go prepare myself for tomorrow's chinese drama shoot. There's still big chucks of lines to remember and character work to do for tomorrow's class too.
I maybe tired but I'm happy because there's work. It's really good to be home.

Home coming
My journey to the east will soon come to an end in 2 days time. I can't imagine what will it be like without help and guidance from my new friend who is a veteran actor from Shanghai. I address him DaGe (Big Brother). Also I made friend with a 20 year old beautiful (intern) actress who is currently understudying TV hosting. I hope she'll do well in the next few years.
Even though I got a small supporting role with only 3 episodes, I'd gained more than insights on filming in China. This wonderful experience will stay with me forever.
Its something I can talk about to my grandchildren many years later. Yeah, I want to be that grandmother who shares her life journey as bed time stories to her grandchildren. LOL
Now I'm all dressed up in the hotel room, waiting for the PAs to send me to the location. I'm happier to wait in my room than on location. LOL I'm feeling sleepy now. I guess its the time of the day, its almost 5pm now. Last I heard, extra scene were added today so we are expected to be super over running today. Also, tomorrow will be the last day of shoot for the whole production.
I hope I can make it back to the hotel by 9pm tonight so that I can go for a nice hair wash at the in house salon. Really good and cheap at 38yuan that includes full head massage, ear cleaning, mini neck and body massage. We can never get such services back home.
I think I really need to take a nap...........

The Flying Diva 2
Just realized that my phone the charger part is broken because of my bus accident.....
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Nevermind... The best thing I can do now is to laugh about and forget about it.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Nevermind... The best thing I can do now is to laugh about and forget about it.
Flying Diva
I didn't know my little 2hour exploration in the Xiamen (Amoy), city of China can be this interesting. The first mall I went to is Walmart! The second shop I visited was Watson in another mall. LOL China is really modern. A new phone that comes with sim card cost only RMB270. Got myself a hot water bag for only RMB17. Shoes in the mall are only RMB69. I should have brought less clothes to save space!! ARRGGH
The most interesting part is , I thought they had MRT (train/subway). So I went to the supposed "train station" that looked almost the same back home. Then when I got onto the platform I was shocked. There were no tracks but roads. Then after a really short while, the BUS came. My goodness they specially built these long line of roads for these what they call express buses. It did look very much like those electric train tracks from below.
I wanna get back to my room before the sun comes down so I took the Express bus back again. Anyway its only one stop away and it takes less than 2 minutes. When I arrived at the stop, the driver didn't open the door. Then suddenly he speed up and break! I flew 2 meters inside the bus!! The wonderful people in the bus quickly help me up, I thank them quickly and got off.
Now my body is aching from the bad fall and now also I know why I got the hot water bag from Walmart in the first place.

Moved to the city
After living at the resort for 3 nights, today I moved to the city area. I'm thankful that the production put me up in a 5 star hotel. This time I was given a super king size bed. I'm so gonna swim in the heated pool later because today is my rest day.
Last night there must be 200 people (crew and fans) running around outside the resort as we were filming right inside the resort cafe.
I had done most of my big scene, I shed a few tears, screamed at the top of my voice, lots of running and broke up a fight. Now I'm left with only 3 simple scenes to do. So far, I've shot at salt field, city's lower income area and cemetery that is built upon a hill/mountain.
I'm looking forward to my next scene tomorrow but meanwhile, I'm gonna explore the city area.

Amoy (XIAMEN) China
Yep that's where I am now, shooting a TV drama. It's a minor supporting role but I'm very glad to be here. I like my room not just because the room is very nice but for the fact that I have internet access. Glad I brought my laptop along. I'm very sleepy now because I didn't sleep the night before but my coffee and the excitement to be in Xiamen keeps my energy level up.
Arrived here today at around 12noon and was driven to the resort. Before I could even put my luggage in my room, I was hurried to do my make up and to get myself ready for the scene. I didn't even have time for lunch. I didn't even know what role I'm playing. Then finally I got my script and was driven to the seaside which is near to the resort where I'll be calling it "HOME" for the next few days.
Now at 5pm I am being sent back to the resort because my scene is not ready yet and I needed to use the toilet urgently. Finally I can eat my club sandwich which I had ordered much earlier on at 2pm. The AD was nice enough to let me wait in my own room till my scene is ready.
I didn't know what to expect when I got on the plane. But I'm sure having fun now.
I was told on Sat that I maybe booked to work here but I didn't think too much about it and my phone battery went flat the whole day. It was until my manager finally got hold of me at 9pm last night and told me my flight is at 0810am today. You guess it. I was rushing like mad to pack and to buy my last minute supplies and stuffs for this trip, and worst of all it took me 30mins to dig my passport out from the pile of "I don't know what anymore" in my room.
Will be back to do more updates. This is sure an eye opener for me.
Latest update: I may be moving to another hotel tomorrow and may not have internet access... :(

My disappointments
I simply detest people who think of themselves as GOD. Especially when they think the whole world is indebted to them. Wost of all they talk down to you in front of others to make themselves look great while shamelessly claim themselves as your close friend.

Breakfast at Hermes
I am recovering from cough really slowly, thanks to the weather. Nothing much for me to update here except I met a few interesting characters in my acting class. The coach is from New York so the style of teaching is "angmoh pie" just like the acting classes I took in Los Angeles.
I felt like they are trying to coach 2 years worth of classes into 8 lessons. But I had fun in class. Acting classes are always fun. Today I "stole" my mom's iron for an activity in class. LOL Of course I did return the iron and I laughed really hard because of the look of my mom's face when I took the iron out from my bag! I could only explain myself later after laughing for two minutes. Luckily my nieces were both asleep, if not I can imagine them especially the younger one wanting to bring the iron to school. My nieces love to mimic me.
Now I'm "licensed" to daydream as part of my daily assignments for acting class. Today I daydream myself as Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's . Only thing difference is, I was standing in front of Hermes shop at Orchard road eating my favorite strawberry shortcake. In the end, I walked into the Zara shop next door instead. LOL

Excited!!
I am because, I'll be starting to shoot Chinese drama sometime next week and acting school starts on Monday! To me, an actor should keep learning and it should be a life long process. Even if it means burning a big hole in my pocket I should never stop learning my craft.
I have had shamelessly setup my own page in Facebook and all photos and updates can be found there. For anyone who is interested to know a little more about me, please kindly join and support my page. Thank you.

Road to recovery
I'm feeling much better after seeing the third doctor! Anyone who needs to see a GP I would recommand you to see Dr Quek Mong Seng at Carelink Family Clinic (Tel: 62545287) Nope, I'm not hired to do a "product placement" for Dr Quek here but so far he's the best doctor I've seen and the medications he prescribed for me worked wonders.
I slept for a good 3 days. I think I should be fully recovered in another 2 days. I should be getting my wages today hopefully, can't wait to bring mom for a short vacation. I can't wait to get myself a cheap bicycle, haircut and a pedicure!! Also I need to hire an electrician to fix the light in my room. After all that, I would be broke again... LOL
I kept feeling hungry but I guess its a good sign. But everything taste blend, tasteless... I think that's why even though I felt hungry all the time but didn't feel like eating. However I did force myself to eat, at least a little so that I can take my medication. The good news is, I lost some weight!! heehee

Fallen ill
I still haven't recover from cough and had gotten worst. Seen the doctor again yesterday morning. I've decided to go for the anti flu virus jab after I recover. Don't wanna be taking meds and be in a drowsy state again.

Random Sugar Rush
I over ate in the last two days to celebrate that I had managed to lose some weight. HAHA! Back to square one! Warp party for my sitcom should be on this coming Sunday. It will be fun!!
Now that I'm so free, weird ideas been coming into my head. Planning to attend some workshop during mid of March. Violin lessons, pole dancing and ballroom dancing are on top of my to do list too.
But Prince told me otherwise...... He said the first thing in my to do list should be spring cleaning! haha Agree totally. CC came over to my place a few days ago to teach me how to make honeycomb. So there were many people suffering from extreme sugar rush effect as a result. LOL
I'm going to walk to the mall tomorrow. Its about 10 bus stops away!! This should help me burn some fats and keep fit.

Dreams , Fantasy and Good Hope
Sorry everyone! I have been enjoying myself too much to blog. LOL So after ending the 45day (plus or minus) sitcom (which will be broadcast on TV in year 2010 on Ch 5), I locked myself in the room to play computer games and facebook myself till almost "end of days". I did try to log in here to write but my Warlords, Warbook, Be A Tycoon and Friendstocks in Facebook refuse to let me go. LOL
Last night I had second thoughts about a character I'm soon gonna play in a Chinese drama. I'm not so worried about how to play the part but something about it made me uncomfortable. Oh well. I should stop over worrying and focus on my work instead. Come what may. Be grateful when there's work.
Anyway, I did went for an audition yesterday afternoon for an art film. Hope I'll get it because its a Cantonese film! I've always wanted to be in a Cantonese film. It's a fantasy since I was a young girl. It will be a dream come true for me, hopefully.

Vision
I had a vision about a week ago on Friday 13th. Nope, noting scary but was very real. I was on set doing at a "haunted house" scene, yep tell me about it, shooting zombie story on Friday 13th night till next day 3am. It was very fun actually!! I was chilling and was in position waiting for the lights and camera to be shifted before the camera roll. I saw it. I saw myself playing computer games and "Facebook-ing".
The vision came true on 15th Feb. I have been doing almost nothing but spending time on my laptop till this moment, today 20th Feb. (Of course I did spend time with my nieces and attended two birthdays BBQ. ) LOL I guess that's because I've been working non stop since 7th Jan. And haven't had much ME time since Dec 2008. What happen to everything in my "to do" list?
Gotta get back to life. Tomorrow will be my last day of shoot in this project which starts at 0700am. I'm well rested. :)

Slumdog Millionaire
If you haven't watch this movie "Slumdog Millionaire" , I suggest you do so. I was just talking about traveling India in my last post. The movie was so real. It fed my hungry soul almost without needing me to be there. I know many sub plots in the movie are real as they were told by my friends who had been there seen that. But still, I hope see it for myself, to see the real life of real people.

Questions We Deny
There are questions we ask ourselves from time to time. There are also questions we choose to ignore or simply pretending they never exists. But sometimes at some point of our lives, those questions we deny surface itself right to our hearts. Its our heart we simply cannot deny.
Running away as we deny. We deny because we didn't want to admit defeat. We didn't admit defeat because we wouldn't let go or just afraid to let go?
Only blue.. Only blue.... Dramatically romantic. Things we never achieve are always the best and romantically unforgettable.
I'm looking forward to my next trip to somewhere in time. Somewhere, someplace that I can feed my hungry soul with colors of life. China, Vietnam or India perhaps.

Valentine's Day
Everyday is a V day if you know you can trust and count on your partner to be there to stand by you and to protect you. Once a trust is broken, it can never be mend by any roses or lavish dinner, for love can never be bought with money. It's the heart, actions and thoughts that counts at the end of the day.
This Valentine's day is just like any day, I'll be working......
This Valentine's day is just like any day, I'll be working......

Life Happenings
In just about two weeks I'll be done with the sitcom. After this I'll be moving on to work on a new chinese drama then I'll be out of job again. So this means its audition time again. There's an audition locked for me this friday and I really hope I'll get the job. Crossing my fingers.....
And, I'm still coughing.
My elder niece who just started primary school this year get to spend $1 in school everyday for lunch. This is so unfair because during my time I only got $0.30 per day for school and its only enough to get myself a bowl of noodle... She has the cheek to tell me that she bought strawberry cookies and a bowl of noodle with EXTRA ingredients. AGGRH!! Oh mother!! This is so unfair!!
On the other side, I'm happy for my niece that she got much more than I did during my time. I hope to make enough money to make sure I see my nieces through university. But first of all, they gotta stop eating my drumstick during dinner and stop stealing my chocolates!!!

On the other side, I'm happy for my niece that she got much more than I did during my time. I hope to make enough money to make sure I see my nieces through university. But first of all, they gotta stop eating my drumstick during dinner and stop stealing my chocolates!!!

Sugee Me
Since I can't keep buying premium chocolates to comfort me, sugee is my next best choice. Yep, I'm munching my sugee now.
Brob left on the 3rd day of chinese new year. I had to leave Boss's house early to send bro off at the airport. I guess boss is not too happy about it but well, my brob will only be back in April or May for a week. And now, I miss him already. Hope this little brother of mine will be fine.
The first 3 days of chinese new year was crazy but on the whole I had fun. So now its back to work again. The director for last night's shoot gave us angbao for good luck.
I should be sleeping soundly at this hour, 7.48am but somehow, my eyes are wide open. Even though my call time is at 6pm later today, I should still get some rest. Perhaps this is a good time to remind myself that peace begins when expectation ends. Not that I'm unhappy. Maybe I'm just too tired to even feel tired. Maybe it's the cough, yeah I'm still coughing and it has been more than 3 weeks.
I shall just get some sleep now. Good nite and good morning to you.

Rest
I get to take a 3 days break from work. I'm still coughing but I'm feeling much better. Yep I'm only gonna get better because all scenes that were needed to be shot in the freezing studio were all completed. Finally from today, we have started to move outdoor for shoot. It was nice at the beginning, away from the super air condition in the studio but it was no joke to shoot under the unforgiving sun either. With melted makeup on my face and sticky sweat on my body.... eeeeek.
Now I'm starting to miss the studio.

Wait
It's bravery or foolishness? It's blind faith or plain old hope? One of the most painful thing to do is wait. One waits because there's simply nothing one can do anymore. You can cry all you want. You may scream and even curse all you want. But when one can only do nothing but wait, just wait.

One Moment In Time
There maybe a few times I wished I could just have 2 more hours of sleep but the moment I got out of my bed there will always be an excitement imploding in my heart. I just couldn't wait to get into the studio and start working.
Looking back the years, the uncountable days I earned hard for my cup of coffee and packed rice from the studio. The super cold temperature in the studio are meant to keep the lights cool. Every drop of coffee as precious as gold keeps my heart pumping and every grain of rice as hard as stone keeps my body functioning.
I've seen a young plant outside the make up room that had grown into a tree over the years with roots deep into the ground yet now slowly withering. I've seen cats that fought rough for territories at the open parking lot and yet were replaced by younger cats each year.
Every studio has its different sets of footprints and every story presents itself the moment someone switches on the TV.

Comedy comes from suffering
VO stands for voice over. Looks like that's what I'll have to do to save all my scenes after the whole shoot because after dinner break today at the studio, I lost my voice.
The bill for my medical fees at Thomson Medical Center was $119.70 (after 10% discount for DBS/HSBC card holders). My antibiotics alone cost $49.2 for 6 tablets to be taken over 3 days. I knew I just have to see the doctor right after work at 10pm. I told the doctor that I urgently need my voice back. There's no way for me to take MC. So I requested him to give me the best and strongest medicine possible to speed up my recovery.
Today's shoot was fun during the first part until I lost my voice after dinner. I tried to "conserve" my voice till my last scene by whispering when I need to communicate. I was kind of "lucky" that my two other scenes needed only my facial expression. Still, I couldn't make the words out of my vocal chord when I was speaking my lines. ARRGH!! I felt so lousy that I couldn't even look into the eyes of my EP/Director. It wasn't even a difficult scene to begin with and I had to screw it up.
I will do better tomorrow.

Fallen ill
Falling sick on job really sucks. My soul had left me. I'm not paid to perform with my outer shell. I'm paid to bring life to a character. I shall summon my soul back with all the strength I'm left with now. I will pull through.

Work & Learn
It's a pity that one of my projects have to let me go due to my time constrain. But I guess it's better this way because at least I know the team do not have to delay any shoot for me anymore. Still I felt bad. Bad in the way that I had caused trouble for the team.
Anyway......
Yesterday I finally met HIM on set!! But for the wrong reasons.... I wasn't informed that the shoot was canceled today due to some miscommunication, so everyone was surprised to see me in the studio. But the good news is I'll be really doing a scene with HIM later today!! Can't wait to learn from HIM!!

Cheers!!
I'm actually gonna really act opposite HIM this time. Not that we haven't worked together before but never on a large scale and long term base like this. I can't tell you guys how excited I'm feeling right now. I was just telling HIM 2 months ago at someone's wedding dinner that how upset I was when I lost the chance to work with HIM. LOL
Anyway, I have been having fun on set. It's always great to meet new people and not forgetting those that had worked together on many other projects.
Hummm.... I wonder what will be HIS respond when he sees me tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I do not have a crash on this person. He is someone whom I have lots and lots of respect for thats all.
Good nite and have a wonderful week everyone!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
Happy New Year everyone!!
I'm sorry for not being able to update my blog as often as before because I've been really busy with lots of personal things such as Xmas, new year, wedding and gatherings.
For the month of Jan, I may also not be able to update as much too because I've got lots of work in hand. And yes, I'm totally thankful for that. It's always good to be busy with work especially in times like this. This also means I'm one step closer to saving enough money to get back to acting school. Not to mention I'm also a step closer to get myself a 19inch LCD HD monitor.... :P
So what do I hope to accomplish this year? Seriously, I don't know. Not that I do not have life goals but my life lessons had taught me not to plan too much and just go with the flow and to live with appreciation to what I already have and never to feel lousy with what I don't have.
BUT then again, it's good to think about what I want at times so that when I'm lost along the way, I can remember what and why I have been working for.
My little wishes for 2009
1) Get my nieces more educational toys
2) Bring my mom to a cruise ship for holiday
3) Change my hairstyle
4) Eat all I want but will never get fat
5) EAT GOOD CHOCOLATE!!
6) Buy 30 pairs of shoes and 10 new handbags!!
