Shop Shop Shop...

After work, I met Dawn at Marina Square to shop around at the Wing Tai group of companies since Dawn is a member of Dorothy Perkins and received an email about the exclusive 20% discount on items at all their companies - G2000, Fox, TopShop, Warehouse, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Adidas, etc...

I didn't manage to get anything from the Wing Tai Group of Companies... most of them were pretty expensive. I liked a few of Fox's tops though.... but mostly tshirt materials...

I managed to buy a top from BEGA.... and I saw that pair of shoes I wanted to buy from URS!!!! DRATS!!! They only have size 39 and I tried it, but felt that its a bit loose.... I wanted to try 38 but they don't have it there! BASKET! They had to deploy the shoes from Takashimaya to Marina Square... I sure hope 38 is a better fit since the shoes will expand with more walking.

Strange though... I'm beginning to look at shoes which are a bit frilly... and blouses or skirts too!! Is this a sign of ageing?? YIKES!!!

This Sunday is Godson's 1st birthday party!!! We had already bought his present for him. Right now, we are having a headache as to what to buy for the mother, our good friend, Yen.

We also don't know what she can do for her birthday celebration.. sigh... life really changes when you are married with kids! I think marriage and kids are not options to me now... I still want to enjoy life and travel and do things I really want to do!

Let's hope I can do more shopping tomorrow and over the weekends! HEHEHEHE

Shocking!

Today, my CEO sent an email saying that my GM resigned and that her last day is just next week! WOW!

I really wonder what's wrong with my company.

And we were very pissed off today by one of the Directors who came and made us work on a pitch when everyone of us have so many things to clear! What does he take us for? Sitting around waiting to take orders? We have exisiting clients' requests and campaigns to handle, and he just dumped the work onto us like nobody's business!! Why can't he have the decency to ask us what's on our plates and if we could help out with a small portion of the pitch! BLOODY HELL!!!! Made me work till 8pm this evening when I had to rush to the library to return my books!

I was glad I managed to borrow 2 books, and at the same time renewed my book on Digital Photography which I had borrowed last month.

Tomorrow I am going shopping with Dawn & Ah Leng. I hope I can go off on time!

Cinderella - The Musical

Went to watch Rogers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella" with Dawn this evening.

Lea Salonga stars as Cinderella, but she is so petite that we were so worried the towering prince (Peter Saide) will have difficulty dancing and kissing her in the later scenes! PHEW!

The 2 stepsisters were super clumsy and disgraceful! haha... the costume Portia wore was damn hilarious - it made her looked like a pumpkin and that Joyce has joints that will creak and needs oiling!!

The stage was really pretty, and I particularly liked the horse carriage (though I think the 4 horses looked scary!!!)

Although this sounded like a fairy tale, children are best advised not to watch as I saw too many of them lose focus, start to fidget about in their seats, or WORSE, kicked the seats in front!!! I think its really too DEEP for them to understand (even though its Cinderella, but please bear in mind this is a MUSICAL).

Disappointing Ending to Little Nonya

Sigh... the 2 of them never got together, but I am glad Yueniang had a happy marriage despite her 2 miscarriages...

The shocking thing is --- are they short of actors? The baddy (Robert Zhang) became the 'adopted son' of Yueniang (who happened to be the son Yuzhu 'left behind' cos of her mental illness).

Anyways, I think Robert Zhang and his father died too EASILY! Basket! Should be more dramatic than that man...

I was quite amazed when Yuzhu can 'recognise' Yueniang during the fire... She was so hysterical when she thought that Yueniang perished in the blazing hut...

I also don't understand why that Xiujuan came back to return the money she 'squandered' from the Huangs...

Oh well... I think the ending was pretty badly laid out and not very dramatic.

Mayday Mayday!

Today's concert was a BLAST!!!!!

OMG!!! Guanyou's father-in-law passed away, hence he did not make it to the concert today. But the stand-in, who is the drummer for "Champion" did a good job! HAHA... poor boy! He had to dye his hair darker and wear a black-rimmed glasses so that the crowd below can't make out that he's a 'stand-in'.

Anyways, we had lots of fun jumping and singing along to the songs just now. Right now, my whole body is aching.... especially my legs and arms....

We've already booked the tickets to their concert at the Indoor Stadium on 29th August 2009!!! HOORAY!!! They are coming back again! I really missed them although the last I saw them was on 29th November 2008 for the "Lee Guitar Concert".

Today is definitely a night to remember as this is the first 'open-air' concert Mayday held in Singapore!!! We were really sweating like mad! Like wat Masa said "Having it in the Indoor Stadium where its fully air-conditioned has already made us sweating like mad! Now, having it in the outdoors will make us MELT!"

Haha... I really hope 29th August is just next month... but FAT HOPE!

Ashin has recovered from his bad flu slightly. He was being criticised by the media for singing out of pitch for the New Year Countdown concerts. However, I think he really performed better tonight... well, at least he managed to remember the lyrics!! ahah.... but there were still some parts where his voice was quite strained...

Monster and Stone really showed off their guitar skills during the solo parts. OMG!!! Monster can play the guitar slung to his back lor!!! Genius!!!! Look at how deft his fingers were... I really admired their passion for music!!!!

Heng the dark clouds were blown away this evening as it rained in the afternoon :)

They will be having their autograph session on 5th Jan 09 at Central 7pm. However, I don't think I would be able to rush down after work. Tomorrow happens to be the last episode of "Little Nonya" too!!!! OMG!!! I really wonder if Yueniang and Chen Xi will end up together, happily ever after?
