Slice of life this day

That must be a power shortcake even though the size is only 1.5inch by 1.5 inch. (Thanks to Cherlyn who bought it from HongKong for me) Yep, that's all I ate yesterday. I still didn't feel hungry when I wake up at 4am this morning but I thought I better get myself some food from the kitchen. I ran out of instant noodle... There's no bread on the kitchen counter but some left over food, vegetables , a piece meat loaf and rice. So I heated up the meat loaf in the rice cooker. Then I changed my mind and made myself a cup of coffee and ate another piece of short cake.

I still don't feel hungry. In fact, I'm feeling full now.

My elder niece visited her primary school for the first time yesterday. Awww..... Maybe I should get her something for school before her first semester starts in Jan. I think I'm gonna bring my nieces out for a walk in the park later in the morning. After all I haven't been spending time with them for a month.

Dad's operation will be tomorrow. I'll be there for him. I know he needs me.

I don't get to watch TV.

Many may not believe me when I say I hardly watch TV because of my profession as an actress.
But it's true I don't get to watch TV. My TV is shared by my family of 7, on 24/7.

7am-8am : My two nieces would watch their cartoons or DVDs.
8am -1130am: My father (Animal Planet)
1130am -2pm : My nieces and their cartoons again.
2pm-5pm : My mother's Chinese soap opera.
5pm-7pm : Father's Animal planet again.
7pm -10pm: Mother & Father's Cantonese TVB dramas on DVD
10-3am/7am : My brother's sport channel/ ESPN. (He would usually fall asleep on the sofa by 3am unless there's FIFA /EPL or worst, the world cup. )

The only day I MAY have the chance to even touch the remote control would be on Sunday afternoon, that's only when I get lucky. It is because Sunday USUALLY means mahjong day for my parents and as for my nieces, it's family outing day with my brother and sister in law of course. However I'm hardly at home on Sundays too. Where would I be? Hanging out with friends of course.

So now you see how I don't get to watch TV.

A Scorpion And A Frog

Last night JT told us of a very interesting story/fable he read from the world wide web.
Here it goes....

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too." The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."

Zero Hour @ Club 21 sale

The Club21 sale was fantastic. Pity, I could only made it there during the last 30 minutes. Everyone went crazy there, both men and women. I think I must have shocked a staff member or a fellow shopper with my madness by talking to myself complaining loudly about having no mirror... haha

It was like war zone at the sale. Everyone was being super focus. This was the only time I saw all people in the same room came to life. No jaded eyes, no sad faces. The hall was filled with so much excitement that the energy level deemed enough to power our city for a week. All ages, the young and old, male and female, for the first time in the same space and time had the same and only objective in mind.

With deep regrets, I had only 30 minutes to do my retail therapy but I am glad at the same time for the very same reason that I, did not over spend.

I got a crush on Obama........

Hummm.... Maybe I shall do this song on my up and coming mini concert?
Only in America sweetie! Just kidding.....

Here's another one.....



I must say the special effects were good. Love it. Enjoy!

Heat Wave

Lately the weather has been really stuffy... The A/C is my new best friend even if it burns really big hole(s) in my pocket but that's what friends are for, I guess.

It somehow made sense when one of the new potential world leaders had taught us that Russia is a neighbouring country to Alaska. I suppose as we all live on the same planet so we all are neighbours. So if my friend who lives in Perth invites me over for tea, I shall have no problems getting there on time. After all Australia is our neighbour. Its just crossing the Pacific ocean that's all. Hummm I think I'll give it a pass on the baby shower party tonight at Ang Mo Kio. Too far from home.

Gosh.... It's Christmas season soon. Times are bad, so I won't be spending much on gifts this year. In times like this we do need to change. It's really time to change our spending habits.

I better go get change into something comfortable now. The weather's too hot. The cold wind that was supposed to be blown here from Alaska somehow got lost in the middle east. I ain't switching on the A/C tonight, can't afford to sew on new pockets anymore.

MIRROR - (Work in progress : Draft 2)

Mirror
A Monologue Written By Da Diva
(Work in Progress DRAFT 2)
---------------------

Woman(late 20s- early 30s)walks into the bathroom talking to the mirror.

You're so careful with things, people you'd care. No I mean to people you think who are worthy in your strange hidden world. You certainly took extra care with gifts people sent you as you'd always say, every gift is a thought and well wishes. You always get upset when things broke down, even for a cheap pen. How's that for a person like you? Sweet, wonderful, charming. How's that I never get to understand, the part for the only thing you'd break is me, no second thoughts. How strange... Its amazing how you could love and hold on to someone you hated? How's that? (beat)

And then I remember your little black book that you recorded all your hidden rainbow coloured life, the very reason you resented me for. (Beat) But how could you? How could you resent me for a choice you made? Maybe you have never made your choice. I don't know but I'd like to believe you did. I always believe you, I did, I still do, for all these years, can't you see? (beat, beat)

Sometimes I felt my life could end the very next day. Maybe I even wished for it. I don't know. But if it happens, I know I get to keep your love for eternity, I'm sure and that will be nice, more than... wonderful. This is really funny. Nope I'm serious, no I'm not. I mean really, funny. You know what's the funny part? (long laugh)(beat beat beat) Me. (beat) MEEEEEE! I knew it all along. You fu*king hate me! You FU*KING hate me! (Calms down) Yet I'm still here. (Beat, beat, interrupted by sound, turns her face to the door then puts on her smile) Yes honey!? In the bathroom! Just two more minutes please! (faces back to the mirror, beat) I don't know how you do it. I don't know how I did it. (Looks at herself at the mirror.Beat beat,beat. Quickly tidy up her make up and leave the bathroom)

Happy

Just read on yahoo news that "they" maybe taking off PUSHING DAISIES due to bad ratings. Noooooooooo! Yeah, just when I'm starting to kind of enjoy it.
Now I'm really looking forward to the new season of HOUSE and 90210.

I was at Scarlet Hotel for tea with Prince, Liz and JT last night. Nice place with sexy deco. Jones at Dempsey serves really good tea at very affordable price. Love the surroundings at Dampsey totally. Yeah, I've been having lots of tea sessions, be it day or night. Thats what my friends and I love to do when we hang out. Nothing beats interesting conversations amomg friends over a cup of tea and dessert. Love those discussions and debates from fashion to politics. A great way to learn from one another too.

I'm so gonna go swimming tomorrow with Mag. Its gonna be another fun day. I'm counting down the days when Brob and ML come back from UAE and States. Really looking forward to see them in a few more weeks. This christmas will be fun with all my love ones around me. I love my life.
