It's been a while, huh? Well, these few weeks i've basically been saying to goodbye to anyone that i'm clsoe with. Met up with the 4/5 gang last Fri for steamboat then Gastro bar to chill... then on Mon went with (now a very ah lian looking cousin... ha) Ruyi to Kbox. I had to get the urge out of me! Then the rest of the week is just filled with work + home.
Man, I dislike the bus ride home, but i've learned very well to sleep on the bus! I can practically sleep the whole bus ride home (50min+), if I'm sitting inside. Yesterday on 185 home, I got the 2nd last seat and the lady behind me wanted to sit, but this stupid middle aged man but his briefcase on the outside seat. I later learned that he did not get down anytime soon... Anyway, just when I thought chivalry was dead, this young man (17-22) gave the lady his seat. Now, that woman hardly muttered a word of thanks! Urgh... Then the gentleman asked the middle aged man if he could sit at that seat. The gentleman also later gave up his seat to an old man after another young man practically snatched the last seat from him! But... I think the gentleman might've been a bit siao cos he was talking to the middle aged man beside him!
Over the past 2 days, I've encountered some lovely animals! Yesterday while crossing the road to work, a car passed me and there was this terrier just sticking its head out of the window! I just broke out into a laugh there and then! It looked like it was so happy just being a dog and sticking its head out the window! Aw.... Then this morning outside my mum's workplace, there were these 2 robins doing some sort of mating dance! The male was going after the female and the femal was doing a good job trying to eat as he did his dance! Mum and I stood there for a few minutes just watching them! AWW....
21st birthday coming up soon... I thought I might dread turning a little older, but I'm quite looking forward to it. We're going KL for the weekend and anything I buy there is sponsored! Haha... I'm also quite proud of wahat I've achieved over the years. I know its not fantastically much, but I like it. One thing I haven't achieved yet: to lose all the weight and buy clothes! Haha... Well, once the project starts, I'm sure I can do it!
Looking forward to the weekend! Someone said I have presents... :)

The Portrait
Life is grreat right now. Work is fine and I just got my pay! Hee.. Gotta limit my spending if I'm gonna save more! My one (hopefully) expensive purchase this month will be for my hair cut and highlight. Gotta get it trimmed before the next project starts!
I have more time to read now. Recently, I finished The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Unabridged, first edition (copy), mind you... :) Its a book about influence and how Dorian got a wonderful painting done of him, a painting that showed his true soul because everytime he did something bad, a scar would appear on his portrait but he would remain ever youthful and untouched. In the end, it was revealed that the picture was more of Dorian's conscience, hidden behind a beautiful purple and gold curtain. He tried to run away from it, but it was always bugging him. Until one day he decided to destroy the picture. I shan't reveal the end to you now...
I think that is something many people hope for these days. They wanna have youth and a pure-ness about them but rarely anyone can do that now. You see SO many beautiful people but you just never know how their portrait will really look. What's behind that beautiful curtain?
I'm sure we all hide our bad thoughts and deeds away in some corner of our mind. But as the book is trying to say: you can never run away from them. Sure, you get battle scars from life, but when it comes time to face your portrait, will it kill you?
My portrait has a few scars already (of course). Though, they're not really self-inflicted. Someone else did that. As some of you might know, I am blessed to have my life. My portrait is not so different from me right now. I am still young. But when I look at my scars, I know how they got there. Each one. Don't ever lose track of your scars...
What will your portrait look like?

Quirkology
Phew! One down and a few more to go! This is the first time in a month where I got a weekend to myself! Last weekend was the end of my show and this week was the end of another show that I helped out on! I also said goodbye to one of my colleagues, so the past 7 days were really something different...
Boy, this job is un-normal hours, but the things that I get to do and the people that I get to meet are truly unique!
There's a new woman on the job and she's got experience. That's really helpful! I'm so glad that she's here so that she can help out more and I can learn from her too! Now I know, experience is a really big advantage. Even if you have a really good degree or whatever, unless that degree teaches you how to survive in real life, it doesn't count for much.
Aren't the things we learn in school supposed to be useful? They make you memorize so much crap but they never teach subjects like ''how to deal with difficult people'' or ''human-ology 101'' or even ''workplace survival''. Sure, when you go Poly they teach you one step further but is there a way where schools can truly prepare you for the workforce? Or is everyone just supposed have a crash course in learning what really matters?
Ah, enough about work! I met up with Bestie today who is down with an allergy reaction that gives her rash! Darn!
I also watched 3 movies so far this weekend. Knowing, crossing over and the fast and the furious 4. I fell asleep during fast and furious, an action movei, after I had 8 hours worth of sleep. I think that tells you enough... Crossing over is a really intense film about how people are doing anything they can in the hopes of finding a better life in America. Knowing is the best of the 3. This highly un-publicized film stars Nicholas Cage and you gotta have an open mind when watching it. But the visuals are AMAZING. I mean, the last time I had my mouth open when I watched a movie (cos it was visually stunning) was probably 300. It had me crying and just curling up in my seat, wanting to close my eyes but couldn't bring myself to do it. Go watch it. And confessions of a shopaholic, but warning: its a girly movie!
I bought a book today called Quirkology. Another one of those useless facts book. I only read like 10 pages so far but I know that the date of your birth doesn't really affect how you are as a person. I hope to finish my other book, the picture of dorian gray by this month? I've been working on it since February so hopefully I can finish it soon so I can move on to the next one!
I've put a few new photos up on facebook, so guys, go check it out!

go buy 4D
Today, a miracle happened... I came home before the sun set! Because of circumstances... I managed to come home before 6pm! Oh my god... this might sound like the most simplest thing for most of you out there, but for me, it is indeed a rare miracle...
I came home, rested, then...
I did my work from 9.45pm to 12am...
Sigh... I guess work is never done!

Still sick
I went to see doctor yesterday. Finally let myself take an mc after working for the week being sick. I still don't feel too well and doc says that my upper respiratory tract infection is back, but i'm still alive and well, i could be worse.
I met someone interesting this week... Too bad I was sick and didn't bother to look at all decent because I was sick! Ah!
I realised my blog has been lacking of pictures. I haven't been taking pictures at all so nothing for me to post up of myself. I was watching Harry Potter on TV just now and they looked so cute and so different now! So I went through my collection of Potter pictures and decided to post a comparison picture of the lovely Emma Watson...
Wow... she grew up, huh? Last I heard she was looking to go to an Ivy League school! Beauty and brains! Just like Hermione... aw... I'm sure everyone heard about Daniel Radcliffe taking it all off for a stage play. And Rupert Grint has a new movie with a more... adult theme. We certainly are growing up...
Tomorrow's Sunday and I have something work related to attend to at night. Next week's gonna be a hectic one. I already told my mum that she'll be seeing lesser of me. Ha. Let's pray I don't break down again! Keep it together!!!
Take care ya'll!

Hi all
Work's hectic. I had a breakdown on Tuesday from frustration. I'm sick now cos of ''exhaustion'' and i think my upper respiratory tract infection might be coming back. Doing anything possible to not let that happen.
Enough about work.
I watched 3 movies this week. Witch mountain, the tale of despereux and dragonball. All rather entertaining films. Now Saturday is like my mum and I's movie day. We usually watch 2 movies in a day. Can't live without my movies, they're my way of relaxing...
Also celebrated my cousins birthday this week. Too lazy to upload the photos. I barely transferred them. Cousins, don't expect to get the pictures anytime soon! Haha... :)
Alright, gotta go have a quick dinner before I go off to see a rehearsal for the show.
P.S. Congrats to my bestie May Ann for getting the job she wants! :)

What personal life?
I've been working until like 11am everyday for the past week. I just found out that I'm on another project on Monday and the girl left on Tuesday. Thanks for the heads up, ya....
So now I basically just come home to sleep. I'm too busy to even think about missing home. And the only time I can watch movies is on weekends. $10 per ticket. Boy, they really know how to take money from us.
Everyone's saying ''welcome to hell''. We passed by the institue of mental health the other day and my producer was saying that I might need to check in next month. I told him next week can already. Then he said I should probably go book a suite so that I would be comfortable. HA. Well, at least we can still joke about it...
They're also saying that I should say goodbye to my personal life. Ya, I think I really have to do that. But there are the occassional times that I think I can go out with friends and cousins. So my dear lovelies out there, when I can go out, please see me? Cos you'll never know when you can see me again!
On Friday night, I got ''moderately shitface'' with my cousins and the dragon boat team. Boy, after a week of hard work, its quite nice to get high and laugh my ass off at the silly things people do when they're drunk! Met some new and nice people and got to know the old ones better!
See ya sometime people...
