Channel 8 Dramas & Personal Vendettas

With all the frenzied studying going on around me, I have taken to entertaining myself with Channel 8 dramas on tudou. Am currently watching Housewive's Holiday. 

"Mummy, I don't understand this question, come and explain it to me."

"Which question is it? Let me see."

"Mummy, do you know the solution yet?"

"No PORBLEM de"

"Mummy, it's no PLOBERM."

Good job, Mediacorp, good job.

In other news, Daddy had some friends over for dinner tonight and Mummy cooked up a storm. I ate too much durian cake again.

"If she asks for white wine, give her water.

If she asks for red wine, give her bandung.

If she asks for the thrash bin, show her the mirror."

I really think I am getting way too bored these days.

My phone is still being weird. Still can't receive messages and calls unless I repeatedly restart my phone. But this porblem ploberm only exists when I'm in Singapore. So I'm not sure if it's my sim card or the blackberry.

Tempted to buy these phones for fun:

The LG Ks320, it's cheap it's pink and I like that it has both the qwerty keypad and a touch screen.

LG ice cream phone. Produced specifically for girls like me. What can I say? It's pink and slim, and it's got way cool LED lights.

Why do we always collide, stuck on different sides?

Rachel Yamagata was fantastic!!
Her voice has such a soothing quality, mesmerizing and haunting at the same time!
And on top of her fantastic musical talent, the woman's a riot! She is so so so easy going, funny and (according to Max who stayed back to get her autograph) friendly!!
I have been you-tubing her non-stop!!

Anyways!!

On the day itself, we still hadn't collected the tickets so Max wrote D an authorization letter to pick them up as he might be late due to training. When we got there (later than planned) D went to park while I ran off to find the Sistic counter.

When I got there I started digging into my bag for the letter & his credit card, when I heard someone call "Girl!!!". Turns out Max made it there before us. My Punctuality, something to think about. Anyway, as it turns out when he first saw me, he thought "who is this chick?" haha and then "oh.... damn it's my godsister". So yes, my retarded godbrother for you. Read his letter for a re-emphasis of my point:



After sorting out the tickets, we had just enough time for a quick quick dinner if we wanted to make the show on time, so we settled on Gluttons Bay. And of course a little bit of camwhoring.





As it turns out, we were still relatively early. We were also four rows in front of my brother heehee (we had pretty good seats!!) And my boys know, nothing to do / free time = camwhoring. So they hammed up a few smiles.



Jack & Rai for the supporting band. They were not bad. Tried to make jokes too.



And then Rachel Yamagata came out and just wowed us all. She is mad talented. And so funny. I the first picture, she's actually turning backwards cos she said she hid her guitar pick in her bra and had to dig it out. Throughout the night, she told us a whole bunch of funny anecdotes like about her past relationships or how she "plagiarized a ghost" in one of her songs :) And cos the esplanade was also featuring Cats the Musical at the same time, she made jokes about smoking with them and having "cat fights" and stuff too.



After the show, D & I left because he had to rush to send some files to his project work groupmate. Max stayed back to get an autograph and he was actually waaay far back in the queue so I didn't think he'd get it as the autograph session was only scheduled for 30 mins. But in the end, she stayed on till everyone got an autograph! Like when Max left, he had already waited for two hours, and he wasn't even the last in line! She also made an effort to talk to every single person, apparently.



I haven't really been doing much else. Almost everyone's having exams.

We do have lots of study dates though! For a change of environment:


And while the boys mug away, I lounged around and soaked up the sun, reading a bit of chick lit. I don't need to tell you that OF COURSE I HAD TO CAMWHORE, right? I had to keep myself entertained!!!




Around 6+ the boys called it a day and we left, headed to La Nona for dinner. Foresee myself going there alot this vaca!! Yums.


Some randoms. With the little ones. And then some night the boys and I went for Jap buffet.





Ice Cream with the Buff Bong before he left for his Korean holiday. Lucky!


The waffle at haagen daaz was mad disappointing :( So small and hard. Not like the B&J one, crispy on the outside and soft&warm inside. Especially disappointing cos usually I'm more of a haagen daaz girl. oh well.


Rain is mad cute. YES YES YES?



End off with some videos I took at the Yamagata concert... Watch them!! She is SO TALENTED, and SO FUNNY.I can't stop watching her you-tubes!!

Duet (which is meant to be sung by a duo, duh) but as she was performing alone, she harmonized both in female/male tones. SO funny.






Worn Me Down - my brother's favourite.






Be Your Love






Reason Why - her closing song (encore), one of my favourites.
