Sometimes I know I behave in a way that'll give wrong signals and impressions.


Don't conclude about me.


YOU- DON'T- KNOW- ME.

2200HRS-0000HRS last night.

Joy and I.....and our encounter with HUGE grasshopper and speedy cockroach.

MAN~ (hair stands**)

X'mas Eve. Singapore River. Orchard Road. Kallang River. Home.

8.30pm. 3.00am. 3.32am. 4.15am.

Tranquility. Serenity. Calm. Peace. Purity. Simplicity.

You bought me a Tiramisu! I loved it! And you're the first person to ever give me a hair accessory because you knew my nice hair would have done justice to it. Haha! (Really wat..not everybody can carry this kind of thing off you know~ haha!) It was something unique that I wouldn't have expected. Moreover it took the aeroplane home from Paris! (Better not let me see the same thing here-haha) I just hoped it wasn't expensive! Thanks again..I really like it alot. =)

I got you a black cum silver namecard holder (I didn't know whether you'd like it but I seriously liked it alot!). Haha! Anyway I hoped you really liked it even though you've said that like 479 times last night. Haha. Put it into good use! Professional image!

I've never drunk wine straight from a bottle man, but well, it does feel different to drink it directly from a bottle than a glass. haha. The turkey you brought was tastefully good! And not to mention those fruits which you probably spent a long time cutting. Haha. Yes I see the effort.

Sorry you didn't get to go clubbing yesterday. =)

We were road blocked by Police yesterday...as expected. That was probably around 2.45am. And of course I flashed my sweet mega watt smile and drove through. Haha. Lucky the whole bottle of wine was in the boot!

My beloved bling bling belt "broke" and I'm really upset over it...hopefully now that I managed to join it back, it'll stay.

Reached home at 3.00am. Safe and sound. Haha.

Phone rang at 3.32am. You called to tell me you reached home already but I'm sure you sped! Please drive carefully and slowly ok!

Tired and drowsy at 4.15am. Time to sleep. Heh.

Thank you very much.. I enjoyed myself.

Christmas Dinner

Kailing and I celebrated Christmas at Hotel Plaza Park Royal's dinner buffet! Wooh I must say it's really good. My all time favourite salmon sashimi!

We were so stuffed after dinner and I suggested that we take a walk for some distance before catching a cab somewhere along the road...it was already 10+pm then, so no shopping malls, just enjoying the night breeze.

And at the road junction...I nearly fell. Haha. I slipped because there was a small slope that I didn't notice... well it was pretty dark wat...but luckily I didn't fall. Clumsy right! haha, but I did have an enjoyable dinner alright.

I just came back from this 2D1N stay at Hotel Marriot Singapore (again!)..haha. Nah, not lucky draw this time, but some points exchange thinggy from credit cards that my parents had. Well, just go and enjoy lor! And this time I really took a lot more photos! Room number doesn't sound so er...pleasant? Sounds like hungry until die in hokkien. Haha.

"Free one wat, what do you expect?! Still want nice number?!" Heh. =)

Okie lah, it wasn't that bad after all! We had such a scenic view of that road junction.....

And the pool.....nah, no "Baywatch" here. Sorry guys! =)

How could I miss this beautiful huge tree at the hotel lobby? You should've known me by now!

What's Brenda without cakes? Should I get a Tiramisu? Blueberry Cheesecake? Mango Moose? Chocolate Truffle? Blackforest? Coffee Cake? Er.....

We were so lucky to be able to witness the opening ceremony of some X'mas event along the whole of Orchard Road, and there were like Chingay style "vehicles" and the ministers gracing the event. What a bang! I should think these 3 hearts symbolise Love, Hope and Faith?

Walking down....we caught this Indonesian Church group carolling. Can't stand the fact that they're all blessed with such angelic voices. ARGH!


And there were LOADS of people....and more people. But I liked it! The atmosphere was so so so right!







Such a pity there's no winter here! Man, it was so humid that I think the Ice-cream stall was making big bucks. Oh, there's dad and mom joining in.

.....More lights.....
.....More Trees....
Now that's something different! Aunt Tina and cousin Sarah also joined us for shopping, and we couldn't resist this beautiful Gingerbread Man cookie in the tin, and so Sarah managed to get her mom to buy her this! SO CUTE! But ex leh....from Marriot Hotel itself. Cost? $18.90!

And so we had a PARTY with all the foods we bought from the Tangs Market. Brought them back to the hotel room and feast!

Right....haven't taken a nice picture with Dad yet.

And then Clement and I had nothing to do after dinner. We wrestled! Haha...(oops, my image spoil liao) Err...I'm actually very demure. I am!

I still managed to pin him down! Whahaha....call me....THE ROCK? Haha.... eh no I high class, I'm diamond.

Man....So much walking, shopping, eating, play wrestling tired liao...gonna sleep! Good night!

Sleeping beauty eh? Haha....wondered who took this. As usual....early dozzer... =)

Sniff the air now!

Hey hey! The air is filled with the joys of Christmas! Look at all these presents? NONE of them are mine. Haha...

Well, these are all the gifts that I've prepared for my piano students, colleagues and of cos, the most important BOSS (Principal) of the music school that I'm working at. (No choice! Gotta PR abit...come out to work is like that one wat...)

Hmm...anyway Christmas is the joy of giving and sharing, so I shall be happy to give! I am in the midst of organising some "Girls Night @ Home" thinggy with both my dearest gal pals, sometime before Christmas day itself, and we're gonna feast and spend quality time together!

• And I haven't got their presents....
• And I'm so broke, cos I just paid fees for my class....argh. No sponsorship this time. Heh.
• And my pay for piano will not come in till Jan 2006...
• And dance teaching has no business cos it's the school hols now.
• And that means I gotta scrimp and save!

It's gonna be a wonderful Christmas anyhow! *sniffs the happiness in the air*

如果。爱

如果。爱 Perhaps Love.

Caught this show at Bugis Junction with Kailing yesterday.

Didn't watch it because of Takeshi Kaneshiro, mind you.

Well...it was more like a chinese version of Moulin Rouge. Awhile story drama, awhile song and dance with glamorous costumes and effects. Yes, the visual part is all there. Well....I would say it's something different from the norm, and I don't think anyone and everyone can appreciate such apporach of a love story, especially when you had to pay $9.50 for a ticket.

It didn't touch me as much as the normal type would...like the female lead dying of cancer or kena bang by car kind of thing....so I went into the theatre and came out feeling very much the same. haha.

But then again, I always analyse the story and was thinking, would you spend 10 years waiting for someone you love? Not being able to forget him/her? Well, sounds so soppy and cliche right....but that was what exactly happened in the story.

I was thinking...if it was love, it'd be more than just waiting.

Anyway, We had dinner at Billy Bombers-Kailing's favourite mah, so well...okie. But kinda realised the food wasn't that good. And it was pricy. This place definitely isn't on top of my "favourites" list. Haha. Punggol Nasi Lemak, Junction Kopitiam, Serangoon Gardens and Jalan Kayu's Porridge would be better off anytime. =) Haha.

I think I understand.

If you know the consequences of doing something, would you still do it?

If it's negative, would you?

Would you?

I'm just having fun. You're just having fun.

When fun's over, game's over, everything's over.

You reminded me again.

P/S: I'm not blaming you for hitting that raw nerve. no worries. =)

W-O-W!!! My all time favourite...FIREWORKS! Awwwwwww....... =)


Ooh! Mount Faber. Haven't been there since dunno when. Hence, Ivan took me there after lunch cum tea at Taka. We took cable car there leh! It's been ages and I don't seem to remember the last time I took one. It was so fun! The newly opened "The Jewel Box" was a place where you could enjoy dinner and christmas light show of the world's tallest man-made christmas tree at the same time!


However we decided to go for a drink at Altivo Bar. Just look at the superb ambience! Romantic! Pretty! Classy! Chill!


I didn't know night could be so beautiful...just look at the lights and colour combinations!


Ivan had dry martini while me had my favourite Cosmopolitan of course. The Star light's so pretty! It really suited the whole place! I wanted to bring it home....


Light shows of this 61 metres tall tree. We caught both the 8pm and 10pm one. Spectacular! Actually the light show is just having the tree lighted up, that's all. hahaha.

Fun. Fun. Fun!

You really really irk me time and time again. You really really behave like an immatured idiot even when I gave you so many chances to change my conclusion about you.

When I asked you serious questions on MSN, why did you have to ignore me when your status was "ONLINE"?! Would it just kill you to let me know you're busy (if you really were) or give me a proper answer, so that at least it solves the problem or I could have made alternatives or changes?! I mean, do you think you're so damn great enough to ignore me? P-L-E-A-S-E! Can't you just handle things in a more professional way!

Let's just call it quits, but I am really damn hell f*cking pissed with you and your behaviour. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Never ever.

I regret being nice and generous with your 24th birthday gift. You can't even be bothered to reply me if you've received it in the first place. Just get out of my life, you moron.

I don't mix with faggots.

The music school I'm teaching at had this annual in-house concert for all students and teachers (optional) to showcase their talents and of course, to also give budding talents exposure and to account to their parents that they have somehow learnt something.

It's THE BIG DAY kind of thing and so, just look at the fancy dressing for this concert. Parents should be the busiest people, all came equipped with digital cameras, video cameras and even last minute image touch-ups for their kids.


Oh, this guy here isn't my student but I thought he really played very well..everything was well taken care of, technique, dynamics, speed, accurate counting, rhythm, mood etc...GOOD!

P/S: there's more to just sound when you're playing the piano you know.. or else it'll end up as noise. He even played from memory. Impressive. He's got future. =)


Ooh..and here's one of my students, Zhengwei (Grade 1), with his mom...and me of course. Wasn't feeling well (had headache but still made my appearance at the concert), so looking kinda pale here.


And there is Zhengwei on the stage! Although not perfect, but I'm happy with his performance. =)


2 of my students couldn't make it as they had something on so here's the remaining 2 of my students, Marcus (Grade 3) and Gennie (Grade 5). They did well too.

I should think the concert was a success. But I was struggling with my headache half the time. Argh.

I feel so cheated.

OK I'm gonna emphasize this AGAIN.

Well....it definitely sucks big time to find yourself in a "I-give-my-all-but-you-don't-reciprocate-and-i-just-have-to-accept-it" relationship.

I really hate it, but time and time again I find myself in this damn situation.

And I'm NOT talking about unrequited love. It has absolutely nothing to do with romantic love.

I'm talking about love between my brothers and I, to only realise that I am actually quite redundant in their lives.

I'm talking about love between my friends and I. I thought they treated me as bossom pals too, only to find that no, it's not me. It's someone else they treat as their bossom pals.

You'd say I'm thinking too much, too sensitive and what nots but if it weren't the least true, how would I have felt it? The one-way relationship had to be somewhat present in order to trigger me what!

I'm so sad. =(
