Typing speed test

My mum told me that she like listening to me typing sometimes. So bored at home, I decided to take a typing speed test.

I just did one and the result is :

Your speed was 50 WPM with 1 mistake (adjusted speed 49 WPM)

Then I took a second test:

Your speed was: 53wpm. You made 2 mistakes.

Erm.. so I guess my average is 50 wpm but I can't continuously type like that for more than 10 mins.. my fingers will break!

My IQ~

I just did an online IQ test which Amai introduced to me and here are the results! hahaha:

Your IQ score is 105. This means that you are smarter than 64.0% of all other Super IQ test takers.

This number is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on the Tickle Super IQ Test.

But there's more to intelligence than a single number, a single score, or a single label. Tickle uses 8 distinguishable dimensions of intelligence in the Super IQ Test. By analyzing your individual scores on those 8 scales, we are able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you process information, and which intellectual strengths you're best at.

Your test results indicate that the way you process information makes you an Information Organizer.

You have a great eye for detail. Within seconds, you could scan a page and find the one mistake on it. You're also able to organize things in a sensible way, arranging and structuring information so that it's easier to understand. This set of strengths makes you a very valuable resource for others who don't see things systematically or who don't have the patience, focus, or interest in catching their own mistakes.

Generally, people with your eye for spotting inconsistencies or disorganized information, are more inclined to want to edit or rework rather than create. Rather than write for the sake of expressing new ideas or read for the sake of obtaining knowledge, you're more interested in the structure of the information and what that might imply. Be aware that sometimes it's hard for traditional intelligence tests — unlike this one — to pick up your particular set of abilities because the talent of spotting inconsistencies and organizing information is much harder to measure than other abilities are.

Results on each scale yo~:

Your organizational ability score is 99 out of 100.
Your spatial ability score is 88 out of 100.
Your verbal ability score is 84 out of 100.
Your logical ability score is 76 out of 100.
You mechanical ability score is 73 out of 100.
Your visual ability score is 66 out of 100.
Your numerical ability score is 62 out of 100.
Your abstract reasoning ability score is 42 out of 100.

Very bored

Xmas day and 26 Dec, I am very bored. No one asked me out! Haiz.. Really bored to tears man. As i said before, because I spent too much time doing opera, I have neglected lots of my friends. Hence, on a fine day like this, I am at home... *sobz*

Sad, just smsed my friend to ask if she is free to come out, but she did not reply yet. :(

人言可畏

人言可畏！

真是人言可畏呀！

自古至今，有多少人败于人言。唉，悲哉。

X'mas is coming~!

This weekend is Christmas. Time flies! I can't even remember what I did last christmas! Did I went for a countdown? Hahaha.. I remembered, I went to Maldives where I almost met the Tsunami. So good to celebrate Christmas somewhere nice and relax.

This year, unfortunately, I have a performance on Christmas Eve. I wanted to meet up with my ex classmates thise Christmas but because of my show, I can't. I will probably meet up with a good friend to count down, that is if I can't reach town area in time.

Details of coming show:

Title: Mr Xue and Miss Fan (I translated the title! :P)
Date: 24 Dec 2005
Time: 7pm sharp! (Teacher says, we will start at 7pm sharp regardless if the audience are in or not because we need to clear the place by 10pm)
Venue: Tampines East CC
Price: $10 ($15 sold out already)

In case anyone interested, can go and see.

This time, I love the costume that Ang is going to let me wear. I think it's really nice though the embroidery is not delicate enough, overall, I still like the design. :D

Hee hee, I find that some parts of the show is very funny! It is funnier than the last time we did it as Ang added some songs to it. The originally 1hr 15 minutes show is now 2 hr 05 min. Ang added some very funny songs for Susan and Wanxin and I can't help laughing when I saw them rehearse. Especially Susan. She is a born San Hua.

******************************

Lastly, a poem which I have always liked.

相见时难别亦难，东风无力百花残。
春蚕到死丝方尽，蜡炬成灰泪始干。
晓镜但愁云鬓改，夜吟应觉月光寒。
蓬山此去无多路，青鸟殷勤为探看。

Taxi Driver 3

It's crazy that I can actually keep running into weird taxi drivers.

Yesterday, after a long singing session, I was really tired so I took a taxi home.

Some bastards as usual kept walking in front of me to get the cab, these kind of people should go to hell.

2 bangala overtook me and were standing a few feet infront. Pissed, I overtook them (and glared at them in the process) also and managed to get a cab.

Immediately when I board the cab, the indian taxi driver said,"Welcome to my Taxi!"

I just laughed and said,"Hougang St 11, please go by CTE."

The indian taxi driver asked me what I was doing so late in Chinatown etc. I wasn't really keen to talk to him as I was very tired.

He asked me if I am living at block 150+, I told him no, I am living at 140+.

Taxi: Give me any street in Singapore and I can tell you the block.

Me: Oh really?

Taxi: yah, go on and ask me!

Me: well.. ok.. Serangooon Ave 2.

Taxi: *thinks awhile* Blk 200+

Me: yeah... correct.

Then I kept quiet hoping that the driver will leave me alone.

Taxi: Guess how come I know all the blocks in Singapore. Go on guess..

Me: I don't know.

Taxi: come on. Just make a guess.

Me: Because you have been driving for a long time.

Taxi: No. wrong.. I have been driving for 9 years only.

Me: You deal with properties before?

Taxi: No... wrong.. I was an electrician before...

(quiet for awhile.... good.. I can have peace... but i guessed wrongly)

Taxi: Ask me questions. Any questions.

Me: I don't have questions to ask. ( I hope the driver will leave me alone if i said this but hell no.)

Taxi: Go on! Ask me something.

Me: Really nothing to ask.

Taxi: (quiet for a moment) Ask me something.

Me: I can't think of anything to ask.

Taxi: It means your brain is limited.

Me: (what the hell) Not that my brain is limited but I am afraid you cannot answer my questions. I have too many weird questions.

Taxi: No problem, go on ask me! Any questions.

Me: Any question? Fine. (I am ready to ask him something he won't know) I love Chinese opera and really I think that it is a difficult art to master.

Taxi: Oh Chinese opera. Do I look like a chinese to you? But Chinese opera is indeed a difficult art.

(hahaha.. he must be surprised I popped a question like that. I hope he will leave me alone so I popped another question.)

Me: I am interested in Cosmology.

Taxi: (quiet)

Me: (bet he didn't know what it is) It's about the study of the universe. Gravity, the big bang, Worldline. I think it is really wonderful.

Taxi: Yah.. science is an interesting subject.

Me: ( seems like he can't really contribute anything to my topics. hahaha.) Uncle, please go by Serang....

Taxi: Don't tell me what to do, you are not trusting my profession. I am professional you know. I know where to go...

Then he rattled on about finding difficult places before.. and....... he drove to the way which I didn't want.

I wanted him to go by Serangoon but he went by another road. Ya right, trust your profession and you went the wrong way.

Finally, I reached, I said,"Stop at the condo infront.'

Taxi: That's not a condo, that's a HUDC.

Me: Yah, I live there, I know it's a HUDC. (fedup)

Taxi: You want to know how come I know all the blocks in Singapore?

Me: Yah why?

Taxi: I used to fix the cables for the televisions in Singapore and we went around to all the block in Singapore to fix it.

Me: Oh. That's good.

Taxi: Yah So I literally went to all the blocks in Singapore but I am tired of a job like this. My kids are big already, no need to work so hard.

Me: Yah, enjoy life. (opened taxi door)

Taxi: Hey, what's you name?

Me: Miko.

Taxi: Nice to talk to you, Miko.

Me: Yah, good night! (closed door)

Please.. I want peace in taxis...

My friend's weird habit

This is a short post about my friend's weird habit.

One day, I was in a good friend's home and I saw something weird in the toilet.

My friend lives alone, how come there are 3 tubes of toothpaste and 3 toothbrush?!

The reason is very ridiculous:

One set is for the morning, one for the afternoon, one for the night.

I can only say that it's madness.

One Big Rainy Day at SL

I went to Sl for singing practice a few weeks ago. (Yes, i took the photos a two weeks ago but I did not blog it till now.)

As usual, Steven and Feiyou were there. BTW, FY is in the army now, serving our country, protecting our homes. Hahaha.....

I went on with my singing lesson and they went on practicing their instruments or goof around. Then our little princess arrived.

Little princess, bao bao. She was making a phone call to Biyu's son. Heard from Mei-E that bao bao and ming feng are good friends. She has a really cute voice and she seems like she really had fun talking to Ming Feng on the phone. hehehe... BTW, if you are curious about the pair of legs at the background, those legs belongs to FY.

After my singing class, Mei-E suggested to go drink beer. I don't drink but I went anyway. They ordered 2 heinekens and they insisted i drink abit. So they filled about 1/4 of the mug with beer. I took a real long time to drink up.

After that, they insist that I must 'yam seng' with them. So I said," a little bit will do!" but they still fill up another 1/4 mug of beer for me... #$$%$#%

They ordered some fried squids to go along with the beer but Mei-E thought that fried squids sucks. Anyway, she got her own sour plums to go with the beer. Steven and FeiYou thought it was funny to drink beer with sour plums but Mei-E said it's a common practice in China. *shrugs*

And then something unfortunate happened! *KABOOM*

It started to rain.

Aaaahh.... Now we are stuck in the coffee shop!

Very bored, we started to talk rubbish and Mei-E decided to tell them about my distorted fingers.

Mei: You know Yuying's fingers very flexible, can be bent to a funny angle!

S,F: Issit?! Show me leh!!

So I 'performed' for them and they were like.. 'wooo...' 'ahhhh...' and tried to do the same thing to their fingers but they can't. Steven even took a photo of my bent fingers! Mad!

Then Feiyou told me that he has really big hands and he showed them to me.

That is not a big hand. Those are very long fingers! Now then I know that Feiyou has got super long fingers. His thumb is a bit distorted and bent because he plays too much Er-hu. Not bad.. hardworking.

Now you compare Feiyou's hand with Steven's.

See the diff? hee hee, Steven is a flute player but his fingers are not as long as FY's.


FY is very interested in photography and he took a few pictures of the rain. I decided to take some too. Hee hee.. Rain rain go away, come again another day.

When the rain got smaller, I think it was almost 11pm, we decided to go back. I wanted to go back earlier but they insisted to wait for the rain to stop.

*****************************

Digressing abit, Biyu's mother, tiam soh, thinks that Steven is very suitable to do Xiao Sheng for opera because of his looks. So she kept calling Steven, Xiao Sheng. hahaha. I think it is a funny name. At first I was bewildered how come Tiam soh call Steven as Xiao Sheng. hee hee....

Both me and Mei-E agrees that FY is more suitable to do San Hua. He is not very tall and I think he got a comical face. Steven, on the other hand, is quite tall but he may need to lose some weight.

However, these 2 guys said that they are not interested to act because they are scared. Everyone will be scared on the first attempt. That's normal but they said that they will be too nervous and forget everything. Too bad, if not, we will be able to recruit 2 potential students.

:D

My office

I have a few things to blog about today cuz I accumulated alot of photos.

Alrighty, the first thing is about my office. One fine day, I was too bored in my office so i took some photos.

This is my desk and the red thing you see in the picture is my neopet, Shoryu. Hee hee... Isn't he cute? Cutey! muacks!

The pink waterbottle is what I use to hold my drinking water. I don't have a mug over there so I cannot make any milo or coffee. I can only drink water in the office which is a good thing also. Milo and coffee will make me fatter I think.

My father gave me the golden horse. He believes that the golden horse will bring me luck in the office. He told me to place the horse with the head facing the door. So I did. The other misc stuffs are my charger, pen and calculator, even part of my handbag is in the photo. Hahaha..

I know this entry is very boliao. hahaha.. but that's what I am.

Time travelling?

Recently, Channel 48 on SCV is showing 'Xu Qin Ji'. It is about a man who traveled through time and went back to the qin dynasty.

After watching the first episode of this show, I was baffled by how can a man travel through time? I know that according to Einstein's theory, travelling through time is possible if the object travel faster than light. Bu how can travelling faster than ligh allows someone to go back in time or go into the future? How???!!!! I am really very very curious about this and i want to know why!

I know that it has got to do with Einstein's theory of general relativity but the article is too hard for me to understand.

I saw in Wikipedia all the graphs and pictures explaining the world line. It is very interesting. I saw this following line:

'Points in an observer's present are inaccessible to her/him; only points in the past can send signals to the observer.'

It means that what we see now is infact not really exactly NOW. What we see and what we hear happens in the past. For example, we look into the sky and we saw the sun but the sun is not what it is now, it is what it was 8 minutes ago because the light from the sun takes 8 minutes to reach our eyes.

Imagine that there is someone on the sun and the someone wants to go back into the past to see what it was like, so he has to travel faster than light to reach earth so that he can see what the sun was like 8 minutes ago? But can we not travel into the space to go back into the past? Can we travle on the spot to go back?

I think i will print out the article and hopefully one day, someone will explain to me.....

Something happened at Pizza Hut

I remembered something which happened at Pizza Hut some time ago but i did not blog it. I think we were in the Pizza Hut of Heartland Mall. At first, we were happily looking at the menu, deciding what to eat.

It was a happy day but an accident happened. My sister tried to eat a slice of pizza with the 'slicing pizza tool'. I don't know what's that called. My mum was shocked! Immediately, she stretched our her arm and BAM!

She knocked over a glass of coke.

Right into the empty pizza pan, fortunately.

Look at the coke in the pan. Maybe it is not so clear, so i took a shot of the crime scene.

This is the crime scene, you see the ice?

My mum is very pissed off with my sis for being an idiot, causing her to knock over the glass.

My sister is also very sian about getting scolded.

And my mum showed a back face too!

That's my mum's black face and my sister's glum face. :D

Hahaha.... anyway that day all 3 of us were wearing red t-shirts! They are copy cats!

Cactus at the junction

There was once i went to lunch with my colleagues at a kopitiam. This kopitiam is situated at a corner of a junction. My friend told me that the cactus is there to block away all accidents. As the kopitiam is at the corner of the junction, it is more prone to accidents.....

That is the first time i heard of something like this so i took a photo of the cacti.

Cryptozoology

Cryptozoology means the study of hidden animals.

I love cryptozoology because I am curious.

Ok ok..... first of all.... Let me introduce the most famous cryptid. (cryptid=hidden animal)

Mr Loch Ness!

Loch Ness monster is also known as Nessie. Loch Ness is the largest lake in England, Scotland, and it could reach a depth of 900 feet.

Nessie is a monster living in the Loch Ness Lake. It is believed to have a long neck and 2 humps on its back like a camel. Its skin is grey and it has 2 flippers. Sightings has provided information that this monster can grow up to 40 feet long. Some people believe that it is Plesiosaur. Plesiosaur is a term for marine reptiles with long necks and flippers. However, Plesiosaurs are believe to have extinct 70 million years ago.


There are many sightings for this monster but no one was able to capture a truly clear photograph yet. However, there are some exciting videos. There was one which show a creature swimming in zig zag across the lake with 2 humps on its back but the film was not clear enough and it did not capture the head of Nessie.

Anyway, believe it or not!

Bigfoot

I am sure many people have heard of the bigfoot. It is believed to be a man-like ape which walks on 2 legs which is often sighted in North-west America's forests. There are alot of sightings for the Bigfoot and many unusual footprints were found.

There are other bigfoot sightings in other places too. In the peaks of the Himalayas, some hairy man-like apes were sighted too. They were named 'Yeti'. This cryptid is similiar to the bigfoot and i think they belong to the same family but it is still strange that one can live in North-West American forest and the other is all the way at the peaks of Himalayas.

Alot of photos were taken of the bigfoot but none was clear enough to tell if it is actually a Gorilla or a Bigfoot.
Thunderbird

The Thunderbird is a legendary creature in North America which is said to bring thunder and rain. People claimed to have seen the Thunderbird with a wing span of 15 feet. That will be the largest bird in the world.

I will quote one of the sightings in Alaska where a massive bird was spotted. The quote was taken from CNN.com.

"At first I thought it was one of those old-time Otter planes," the paper quoted Moses Coupchiak, 43, a heavy equipment operator from Togiak, as saying. "Instead of continuing toward me, it banked to the left, and that's when I noticed it wasn't a plane."

The Daily News, the largest daily in Alaska, said scientists had no doubt that people in the region, west of Dillingham, had seen the winged creature but they were skeptical about its reported size.

"I'm certainly not aware of anything with a 14-foot wingspan that's been alive for the last 100,000 years," the paper quoted raptor specialist Phil Schemf as saying.

I can't find any pictures of the sighting though.

Champ

Lake Champlain is situated in North America. It is a big lake with a depth of 400 feet. Quite deep. The lake itself formed around 10,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age, so it is a very very old lake. I will not be surprise if there is something unusual lurking in such an old lake.

The description of Champ is very much like the Loch Ness monster. It is also believed to be Plesiosaur but some people believe that it might be just a large sturgeon fish. Most sightings describe a 15-25 feet long creature with a long neck and a dark coloured body with one or two humps.

So tired after typing, I will continue if there is other new findings or sightings! There are other interesting cryptids which I didn't include because it is hard to find pictures.

Until then~

Taxi driver (2)

I already said that 'crouching tiger hidden dragon' among the taxi drivers in my previous post. It is true! I met another one 2 days ago.

After shopping, my friend and I decided to take a taxi together. I dropped my friend off first and then set off for my place. As i was a bit sick, i keep sniffing in the taxi. The taxi driver ask me if i am sick and i told him that i only have a small flu.

Driver: Try putting your palm on your forehead for 15 minutes. You will feel much better.

I thought that was funny but i did it anyway because i don't know how to say 'no'. So paiseh.

Driver: Trust me, you will be able to breathe better after 5 minutes. This is part of Qi Gong. I teach Qi Gong when i am not driving.

I can't believe it, the cab driver is a qi gong master.

Me: Oh really?

Driver: Yes, because i go the student's house to teach so i thought it will be better to be a taxi driver too, the expenses not so high.

Then he gave me a piece of flyer with his number and the benefits of qi gong on it. He told me that he used to be one of the instructors in the top qigong school in singapore but they later decided to retrench him.

He told me that he charge $300 for one month's course and the fee is shared by the number of students. If there are 3 students, each person will pay $100.

Well well, i saw that one of the benefits of qigong is to avoid premature aging.. hee hee.. maybe i should go for it.

Black Hole

I am now into this serious topic about the Black Hole. Maybe you can't tell that someone like me will be interested in Astronomy but you are wrong. I am basically interested in everything in the universe.

At one point of my short life, i was very interested with the Black Hole. I want to know what it is so i did alot of researches from the net and from books. I have quite alot of astronomy books in my home now. :P

BLACK HOLE

Mysterious name for those who do not know what a black hole is. I do not know in details about the black hole but i can generally tell you what it is.

A black hole is a concentration of mass with a gravity so great that nothing can escape from it. The gravitational field is so strong that the escape velocity is more than the speed of light. Meaning, anything that is within the gravitational field of the black hole needs to travel faster than the speed of light to escape it.

Since the escape velocity of the black hole is more than the speed of light, it means that even light cannot escape the gravity pull of black hole. Hence, we canot see anything emmitting from the black hole. It will be invisible, just black space.

This is not a photo, it is a computer generated picture.

The imaginery surface of the black hole is the event horizon. At the event horizon, the escape velocity is the speed of light. Therefore, the escape velocity inside the event horizon will be more than the speed of light.

For example, you may see a star not moving , hovering at the event horizon but it is in fact travelling at the speed of light away from the black hole. If it is travelling slower than the speed of light, it will be sucked into the black hole.

Another example, imagine you are watching an astronomer approaching the black hole. As it approaches the black hole, it starts to move slower and slower and finally it just stops there not moving.

What you saw was actually the light reflected off the body of the astronomer. The lights gets slower and slower to reach you when the astronomer reach the event horizon as the gravity pull gets stronger and stronger. Finally, the astronomer gets sucked into the black hole but you will still see the image of the astronomer at the event horizon because the light got stuck at the event horizon.

Types of black holes
Black holes are formed when stars collapsed and squashed themselves into a high density mass. It will thus increase the gravity of the space around it. For example, if our sun is collapsed into a star with only 3km radius, it will be a black hole as it deforms the space around it causing a very strong gravity pull.

There are 3 kinds of black holes:
- Stellar mass black holes
- intermediate-mass black holes
- supermassive black holes.

Stellar mass black holes have the mass of a typical star, about 5-15 times the mass of the sun.

Intermediate-mass black holes have the mass of a few thousands times the mass of the sun.

Supermassive black holes have the mass of about 1% of a typical galaxy! That is really super massive. Supermassive black holes might form when a few intermediate mass black holes collapsed into each other.

It is believed that in the centre of all galaxies is a super massive black hole, including milky way.

What will happen if someone falls into the black hole?

I have a memory that i read in a book if someone falls into the black hole, he will see nothing but then the gravity pull will tear him apart within 7 seconds.

If someone was to put his hand over the event horizon, his hand will be chopped off and pull towards the centre of the black hole.

Well.. I am not so good at explaining such stuff but i hope you guys more or less understood what i am trying to say. If you are interested, you can look them up in some astronomy books!

Wang Li Hong

Recently, i have been listening to Wang Li Hong's songs and i think his songs are pretty nice! :D

Please don't think that i only listen to opera for 24 hours everyday. Last year i bought a CD of his and i didn't really listen attentively to it until recently, i listened to it while working in my office. I think the words in his songs are quite nice, unlike most of the pop songs in the market now which are just gibberish.

I start to even think that he is quite handsome leh! hahaha

F*** UP Day

Totally.... f*** up yesterday, totally.

It is a super long story and i wonder if i should tell the whole world here. Anyway, the whole world is not reading my blog so i guess it's ok.

First, i happily set off to Joo Chiat CC after my work for the OBMC. I even brought my 2 long spears which made it very difficult to travel.

Along the way, i bought some bread to eat as dinner as I don't want to be late for class. Finally, after much travelling and difficulties, i arrived at Joo Chiat CC.

no one here yet, so i smsed CS.

'I reached, where are you?'

he replied,' I can't come.'

Fine i thought. So i called Shu Fen.

'Are you coming?'

'No, i got a company dinner, can't go today.'

Fine again. So i called Peiru up.

'Are you coming?'

'Nope.'

Isn't that great? Isn't that just fantastic? No one is coming and no one gives a damn to tell me about it.

I called up CS.

'Isn't that great? No one is coming and no one tells me about it.'

'Did teacher know?'

'I don't know. I thought we already confirmed it last week that this week's lesson will be on Wednesday.'

'Yah. Why not you get a room first?'

'I am not sure, but i will try.'

So i proceeded to the office with fire in my stomach.

'Hello, i would like to get a room for the opera class.'

'What class?'

'Opera'

'Under what name?'

'Xi qu xue hui?'

'under what group?'

'I don't know.'

'how come you dont know?'

'Because i am a student, (bitch)' I didn't say the word bitch but i would love to.

'I have to know what group you are under.'

'I dont think we are under any group.'

Anyway that bitch refused to give me a room so i call CS.

'Erm.. which group are we under?'

'What group? We are xi qu xue hui.'

'Yah i told her, (the bitch), that we are from xiqu xuehui but she don't know about it. She insist on which group we are from.'

'We are not under any group. Is Mr Yap there?'

'No, only one person, (the bitch), is here.'

'Who is she?'

'I dont know'

At this time, the bitch butt in. 'How come you everything also dont know?'

I retorted, ' He asked me your name and i said i dont know. (how the hell i know your name? I only know you are a bitch.)'

'Tell her we are from xi qu xue hui and Mr Yap already knows that we are coming.'

She said,'What does your xue hui do?'

'learn about opera.' Isn't that obvious from our name? what a dumbass she is.

So i told Bitch what CS told me. She finally gave me a room and mumble something about if someone comes, i will have to give the room to him/her.

Whatever. I just mumbled something and went off.

In the office, i saw a notice on the cupboard. I took a picture of it but it wasn't clear. It says:

We are committed to high quality service and continuous improvement to meet the needs of our residents to achieve the PA's ojectives.

Yah right, please don't make my toes laugh.

Bitch.

Anyway, i went to the room and i realised that she gave me a room full of chairs and tables. What a shit.

So i moved the tables and chairs to one side and sit down awhile.

I smsed Jiali that i am in room 203. She called back.

'Did you sms me?'

'Yes.'

'I don't know about the class leh.'

'I thought we decided last week?'

'I called Shu fen yday to confirm it and she told me she will check with CS and confirm again with me but she did not call me back so i didn't know there is class today.'

'That is fine. Since there is only one student today, i guess you don't have to come.'

'I am sorry.'

'It's ok.'

Totally F*** UP right?

I am so fedup, i put back the tables and chairs, i returned the key to the bitch and i took a cab home. I realized i don't have enough cash so i used my debit card to pay.

I smsed ShuFen about it and told her that i will not join the class next year.

It is a F*** UP CC anyway.

I am sick and tired of my suayness which has been with me for a long time. I don't know what the hell is wrong with these people and why the world is so fucked up.

Fortunately, the VCDs i bought from china arrived yesterday and i had a great time watching it at home. Yah, i should have returned hom to watch the VCDs instead of going to the fucked up CC run by a bitch. To think i was carrying the spears around too. Fortunately, yesterdays was the last lesson.

Singing and Taxi driver

Today, i got another singing session at Tanjong Pagar Complex, Qian Xi Lou restaurant. It is the 81st anniversary of Hui An Gong Hui and Hui Hua Wushu association (the names might not be exact as I did not take much notice of the names). Anyway, I had a grreatt time. There was fabulous food, wushu to watch and we sang some songs.

We got 3 tables which adds up to around 20+ of us. How come so many people? Because, part of the chinese orchestra was there too. I was very hungry and we only started eating only at around 8+pm leh.

This is the photo of the first show, actually we played a CD for this piece and the performers up there just played relaxly and Mei-E sang relaxly. Of course we can't cheat the audience with CD all the way. So the next one is the real thing.

The trio singing, this is the real thing. haha...

Aiyah.. i should have taken some photos of the wushu ppl. They are kinda cool and one of them is in the National Team.

After the show, i helped to pack the stuff and long bang SL coach to Geylang so that i can take a cab there. So i flagged this cab near the bus stop and the kancheong spider taxi driver ask me to 'quick quick, got bus behind!'

In the taxi, the driver ask me if i bought this new dress. What new dress? Then i realised that i was still wearing the chinese style costume!

Me: I just had a performance.

Uncle: What performance?

Me: Nanyin singing.

Uncle: Oh.. is it .. Xiang Ying? At chinatown there?

Me: It's Xiang Ling not Xiang Ying. You know Xiang Ling?

Uncle: My brother used to be there long ago.

Me: Oh, so coincident ah!

Uncle: You know the monk of guang ming shan like to listen to nanyin also?

Me: Yah, we go there once a year to sing.

Uncle: yah, got one lama like to listen to shan ge. Actually all these Lama are very clever one. Got one Nepal Lama learnt to use the computer in one month.

(hee hee.. this uncle is getting a bit too far.)

Uncle: You got hear the tibet song before?

Me: Nope.

Uncle: You want to hear?

Me: Ya sure.

Uncle: Ok ok.. let me test the key first... Aaahh... Aaah... Te ba xin trrr.. la ma ni ba som.. ......... Err.. i forgot the lyrics...

(he thought for awhile...)

Uncle: Te ba xin trrr.. la ma ni ba som ( and continue to sing)

Actually his singing was not bad but its strange.. to hear a tibetan song in a cab! haha.. this reminds me of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Don't look down on anyone. Everywhere there are people Wo Hu Cang Long.

Performance at Simei

Today, i had a performance at Simei and guolai did a lovely make up for me.. Take a look!

I had more photos and details at my opera blog, www.liyuanxi.blogspot.com~

Harry Potter~

YEA! I am going to see Harry Potter GOF next monday. Hee hee.. I didn't want to see it on it's premier cuz it's a thursday and it will cost me $8 to watch a movie on thursday. So I will be watching it on Monday, $7! (I know I only save $1 but each dollar counts ok! hmph)

And I purposely chose Lido theatres so i can watch it with the mega big screen. I wanted to watch it at GV grand at first but the timing is not good, 9.30pm, it will 12am when the show ends.

I am very excited lor~!!! ok!!!

Because GOF was my favourite book among all the 6. It was the most exciting book in the series and I cant wait to see the magnificent Triwizard Tournament!

The boy who did Harry Potter is getting too old for this role. I think he can't continue with the Order of the Phoenix and the Half Blood Prince cuz he will be too OLD!! He already look awkward in this GOF movie but if they get someone else to do Harry Potter, i can't accept it also because I am used to imagining this boy's face when i read the book. (Yah yah, i don't know the actor's name, call me sua ku if you want but i don't care cuz i only care about the movie.)

I wish that this boy can grow slower, so was the boy who did Ron.

Woohoo.... Can't wait to see it.

Caresse sur l'océan

I was listening to a soundtrack and i reminded myself of the French movie 'Les choristes'. It was a nice movie and there are beautiful songs in the movie. The song I love most was 'Caresse sur l'océan', meaning, caress on the ocean.

The movie was funny and the children in it were very cute!!
The movie, there is a teenager who has a wonderful voice but because he is a rebellious and autistic boy, he refused to join the choir organised by his teacher. The teacher tried to open him up to accept friends and join the choir. Finally, the boy opened up to the teacher and learnt singing from him. He then became a famous singer.

In the movie, there is another song 'Cerf-volant', meaning Kite. I like this song also cuz its cute. :D

J'aime beaucoup ce film!

I am PISSED

I am so extraordinary suay recently and i am fedup! I lost alot of money this mth for stupid reasons!!

1) My hp earpiece is gone, i put it in my hp box and when i want to find it, it's gone. I dont know where is it.

2) My hp original battery is gone too. I put it in my bag cuz i know that the unoriginal battery is going flat soon. Who knows when i want to change battery, i cant find it anywhere.

3) My camera spoil.

4) My phone just dunno why called up my mum and my mum dunno why just answer the call and never hang up. So the call lasted 3 damn hours!! Putain. I called my mum about it and she say she dunno anything.

I am so freakin suay! So suay that i cant believe it myself! What the hell..

I am going to skip lunch and dinner and scrimp and save from now on to cover my lost.

I hate this world.

Opera Photos

I think my liyuanxi.blogspot.com is overloaded with photos so i decided to put some opera photos here too.

Found some really nice photos of new version kunqu. I realized that they are now more modern in their make up and dressing. It's a good change but don't forget the traditional one too!

Modern dress and hairstyle.

Very classy right.....
This is the main character. not very pretty but is a good actress. I like this dress.

I like this dress.... also.

The king.... Not handsome. anyway this show is about ugly ppl.. haha....

The new version kun qu 'Yi pian tao hua hong'.

P72

I think there is seriously something wrong with P72. I don't know if there is something wrong with him or something wrong with the batteries. I charged the batteries full and when they couldn't last more than 1 hour. I am really pissed off with P72 cuz he is not behaving himself. I already spend $80 bucks to cure his sore eyes and now he suck the batteries dry whenever i on it.

Once I was at Kusu and P72 threw a tantrum. He suck the batteries dry and off himself without shutting the lens with the protective shutter. He just stone there. If you saw my Kusu island blog, you will notice some are taken with P72 and some with D500C.

Now I have to rely on my D500C to take all the photos for my blogs. D500C is not really good at taking photos.

If P72 still continue to behave like this, i am going to dump him and find another camera this christmas.

SL Packing Day

Today is a public Holiday~ so i went to SL to pack the costume. It was quite a hard work cuz the boxes are quite heavy. We took out everything and categorised them into their respective boxes.

Some of the costumes taken out and packed into pastic bags.

That is susan, taking out the costumes from the boxes. Actually SL has got alot of clothes becuz everytime SL do a full length, big production show, they will order a set of costumes. So far, we have got costumes for 'Bei He Ji', 'Mu Lian Jiu Mu', 'Ci Mu Lei' and some other misc excerpts.

Pack pack packing...... La la la... we had a good time!

While we were packing, the 2 very enthusiastic guys who painted the store room were clearing out another store room. We have 4 store rooms in SL. 2 for costumes and props, 1 for instruments and 1 for these books etc. Alot of stuff right?

We started at around 2:30 and we finished at 6pm. I forgot to take a photo of the newly painted leisure room upstairs. Will take a photo of it when i go there again. :D

Crappy Halloween Night Party

It is Holloween Night and it is also the eve of my friend's birthday. He asked us out to have a drink together at a pub in boat Quay. I seldom go to pubs but I love hanging out with them so i decided to go anyway.

i met Lock first at 7pm to watch a movie and after that we went to meet the birthday boy, Vincent. Vincent is a crappy guy. hahaha...... After that we met Henry aka Meekiah. Meekiah was a good friend of mine in Poly.

The four of us went to the pub together and the first thing meekiah did was to pick some songs to singing. Singing is meekiah's favourite hobby and he is a good singer.

This is Meekiah~

Vincent, the brithday boy, ordered Chivas and they started drinking but i dont like to drink so i just drank one glass of diluted Chivas. Vincent is an alcoholic!! He is also a very crappy guy and he always make me laugh like hell. Second to Vincent is Lock, then Henry. Henry used to make me laugh so much in poly. It is from them that i learn to be crappy myself but my skill is still far from them.

This is vincent. He always act some seh. See this shot not bad right..... Finally i introduce Lock.

Locky, showing me this disgusted face. Actually he was saying,"Your flashlight very glaring leh!"

Lock is another crappy guy cuz he told me that there was once, he gave toothbrush as birthday present to a friend!!!! -_-" quite unbelievable. Guess what he is giving to vincent for his

HAIR GEL!!! Somemore it's Amway's one. This is super hard wet look hair gel which Lock chose specially for Vincent. Hahaha.... It's indeed a funny present. Ok la.. it's a xin yi from Lock. Last time lock gave me Mooncakes for my bday......

Vincent posing with his gel! hahaha... After waiting for a long time, Henry got to sing.

Meekia the singing king.

Vincent told us that he has been thinking of creating a short film since all of us at this table is so talent.

Vincent: don't waste our talent mah, right?

Me: Sure or not, not so easy one.

Vincent told us that he missed those days when we were filming a short film for a school project. It was a very fun time.

Finally at 3am (Yes! I stayed there till 3 freaking AM!), we were about to leave. At this moment, Vincent said something that was very funny and i decide to blog it.

First, look at this picture.

Vincent say, if you buy a box of cigarettes, you have to be careful which picture you get on the box because after you smoke, you will end up as in the picture.

The first one shows this ulcer thing in the intestine or throat. Pretty disgusting.

And the last one show a guy in coma. So the best one will be the middle one with happy family.

Vincent: The one die is you family not you mah, so you can happily continue to smoke.

-_-"

Saw the dice? Saw the liquor? hahaha... it is a picture that depicts our 'duo luo-ness'!

hahaha... see this?

Super Mega Big Rain!

Happily we were finishing our OBMC yesterday when dearest Ah May say," I think it's raining cuz i feel cold."

So I looked out of the window. Holy @#$%! It's raining heavily. After the class, a new student, Lilian, went to fetch her car so that she can give us and the teacher a lift to the Paya Lebar Mrt. So 4 of us actually crammed into the backseat of her car. That includes May, YH, Peiru and me.

Lilian made a few mistakes with the directions, guess she is not familiar with that area but it was kind of her to make a trip especially to the MRT just to drop us. Finally, we arrive at the MRT station but that was not the end of our disaster. It was now raining as heavily as it can be.

We wanted to wait for a cab under some shelter under the MRT railway. We waited.. and we waited... but we realised that we can never get a cab under that shelter becuz some freakin bastards with umbrellas were always in front of us, standing under the rain to catch a cab. Hence, we will be get a cab under this shelter. YH suggested to the take bus but that idea wasn't appealing. So anyway, we decided to dash to the bus stop which is about 10m from the MRT.

YH ran... first time see her run so fast, and May ran too, with her heels and then i ran also with my slippers.

Finally we reached the bus stop. We thought we can get a cab by flagging in the bus stop but hell no, i was wrong. There were once again some freakin bastards out there in the rain with the umbrella in front of us. That really pissed me off. So I shouted, "get out of there you freakin bastards!"

Anyway, that aside, I have to comment about May. Cuz at this point in the bus stop, she suddenly blurted, "My bag is dripping wet!"

Me and YH don't really care about our bags as ours were those school bag kind. I looked at May's bag. It looks like a Burberry bag. I said," Is that real?"

May,"Of course! I don't take fake branded!"

Me,"Your bag is really wet."

May,"Yes, it is pratically dripping!"

YH,"To know if it's real or not, we have to send your bag to an expert to check."

May,"You can tell it's real by just looking at it."

YH,"The fake branded nowadays looks very real lor!"

I don't know why the hell are we discussing this when we are still stuck in a bus stop with the mega storm and bastards continue to appear in front of us.

Me," I think we should just go and stand in the rain in front of those bastards."

YH agreed with me but May was reluctant to wet her bag futher and she felt super cold. After some struggling. YH took the lead and walked over followed by me then May.

Cool~ We are walking in the rain!

Those bastards just open their eyes big big and stare at us as we approach and we walked past them, don't giving a damn.

Fortunately, we only stood there in the rain for awhile and a taxi happily came cruising along. Ecstatically, we climbed into it.

That kinda end our little adventure you might think but no.

There was a mega traffic jam. Mega storm and mega traffic jam makes the ultimate sucky day.

May was so cold in the cab and YH offered May her 'Shui xiu' to cover herself. Little did we know that YH had a motive.

YH,"Do you feel better now?"

May,"yes"

YH,"good, then you can take back my shui xiu and wash."

Me,"So you had a motive!"

Anyway, YH still took back the shui xiu to wash it herself after her motive was exposed.

PS: Our dear YH said she wanted to start a blog like 1 month ago and till now i didn't see anything yet. What are you waiting for?! May said that she will take 3 months to start a blog and blog for 3 days at most.

SL Painting

Today, I was supposed to go to SL for singing lesson. When i arrived at SL, I saw that 3 guys from the chinese orchestra is trying to turn the storeroom into an office! The store room is like full of cockroaches and spider webs lor! But by the time i arrived at SL, the boxes of costumes and props have already been removed from the storeroom to the hall downstairs.

Looking through the boxes, i found alot alot of costumes and alot alot of props! The costumes are so new and beautiful! Anyway, we are not going to use those costumes cuz these costumes are made especially for some big show. Anyway, the costumes will be put back to the half-office, half-storeroom after we repaint the place.

I went up to see the storeroom... and wow.. it is so clean now, they removed all the spider webs and chase out all the cockroaches.

I was really touched, these 3 guys treat SL like their home, willing to sacrifice their time and sweat to help clean up the storeroom. It is the first time i see something like this. The director didn't ask them to do it, they just did it on their own will when they saw the state of the storeroom.

2 of them painting on side of the wall. They were very enthusiastic about it. It was 9pm and they have not eaten dinner. They told me they will go to eat only after finishing the job.

And the painting goes on.....

I am very bad hor, while they paint, i was taking photos. hahah... i got help them paint abit la.. but not much cuz i did not bring clothes to change.

We finished painting the room at around 10pm, then we went to a coffee shop to eat dinner. The guys decided to go back to SL after eating dinner and stay overnight at SL to clean up the place and move the furnitures back in place! They estimate that they wil finish at around 3am.

Well well.. i was really surprised at their enthusiasm...... SL is lucky to recruit students like them. :) I think they are still in SL working while i am here blogging.

BBQ!

I took a long time before writing this blog. The bbq was held last Saturday just outside my home. Luckily it didn't rain, it has been raining everyday now.

Yeah.. got photos to show you.

This time, i got Richard to buy the prawns. I told him that he will buy whatever he want to eat himself, then he wont complain that we don't have this, don't have that.

The opera gang. I didn't see Wanxin and Wanzhi since Ang went back to TW. Oh yah... Speaking of Ang, she is finally coming back on 28 oct. After so long, she finally is coming back but i don't think she will be staying for very long. Maybe until December.

Yuxian...

That day i bbq alot of marshmallow. Very long never eat marchmallow liao. Though it's nice, i think it is very toxic also.

May's favourite food is chicken skin.

I realised i didn't take any photo of YH again!! Until now, she didnt appear at my blog at all! That won't do because everyone around me should have appeared in my blog by now.

YH also wanted to start a blog. She already told us that she will be starting a blog at our previous bbq but until now, she hasn't start anything yet. During the bbq, she took alot of photos and she told me she gonna blog about it. May said that she will not blog for more than 3 days. hee hee.....

**********************************

Sianz.... Until now, my voice is still very muffled. How am i to sing tomorrow??!!!
