Long time no see(eat)..

I used to eat Wanton Noodles from this store at Aljunied hawker center every sunday morning(before visiting my grandma) since I was young, till my grandma pass away when I was 13.
I always remember, an old auntie and uncle preparing the noodles while another auntie will send to our table. I always look forward to the noodles as it has very nice ketchup taste.
Theres nothing fanciful in this noodles. No other sauce but ketchup and (i tik homemade) chilli.
Today, I returned to this store to have the noodles(wow really been yrs). Since I never liked char siew, so I ordered the dumplings noodles instead(no different to the noodles anyway).
Seriously, though there are alot of nicer wanton noodles than this store, but I guessed its the memories that added the taste to it. ^_^

Im tired.. Very tired

I am getting tired. Very very tired.
Dont
know is it coz Im growing old or wat, Im getting tired easily.
I felt I need a long break, a long long break.
Break from irritating work
Break from irritating people
Break from irritating noise
Break from this messy and selfish world
I just want to go back to simple and innocent days when people are simpler.
Not full of violence
Not filled with unnecessary problems
Not filled with selfish and defensive people.
I am very tired...

スカーレット・ピンパーネル The Scarlet Pimpernel ~2

This is a snapshot of different different parts of the show.. The starting part? Hahaha so funny... This is the part where everyone kept laughing n laughing.. Everyday, Aran will come up with different script to disturb Yuzu... And this day, Aran asked Yuzu if needed a strange suit to go to the party and said will count to 3.. When Aran counted to 2, Yuzu got pissed and shouted 3... Hahaha So funny.. And many times, Yuzu must be trying the very best not to laugh at Aran's funny script...

Still I want to say, I loved all the songs!! I thought they were very very very well sang!!!
I just cant get my hands off from the DVD!!!!

Grand Finale! Niceee....

スカーレット・ピンパーネル The Scarlet Pimpernel ~1

After long long long wait, the DVD for Scarlet Pimpernel is finally out!!!
The is one of the best show (I personally felt), Takarazuka had produced ever since Elisabeth.
The story line can be found here : http://takarazuka-revue.info/tiki-index.php?page=The%20Scarlet%20Pimpernel%20(Star%202008)
The songs are wonderful wonderful wonderful...

This song is called, Into the fire. The last part so funny where all the Otokoyaku dressed as the laundry ladies... Its funnier when they try to recuse some royals and make a joke out of the French army by doing skipping with them, then tied them up...

This is whr all at a party and Percy and his frds purposely dressed strangly so that they dont get suspected... Haha...

A Message by George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways , but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stock room. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by themoments that take our breath away.

Shin chan as musumeyaku

Accidentally found this clip..
I kept laughing and laughing..
Its about Nene chan wanted to be trained as an otokoyaku so that she could join Takarazuka.
So during play(or is it break) time, she dragged all her poor kakis to the hall to practice with her.
Its so funny as they tried to represent something(looks like paper cardboard) as the feathers.
Last part is the funniest where Nene chan gave up and said she do not want to join Takarazuka anymore and Shin Chan say I want to go, Kazama kun replied, u r a boy cant join and shin chan shocked! Hahaha I liked his expression.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkBP7I-mPXY
Its pretty good as they even use Sumire no hana song to play in the anime.

I bought the first two books. They have some new comic script which super funny. Some put the characters into modern world that ironically reflects to the original story. Example, theres a comic that was drawn as Marie wore Kimono for New yr's party. But the next page will more describe the actual story like how much dress did the queen Marie had and how it affected France spending then. Its very very informative and entertaining at the same time. I still couldnt get Kids 3 book as its sold out in SG Kinokuniya. Must try to get it from Japan... T.T

Darn, I lost the 3rd one somewhr, Marie in Green dress, I hung it on my bag. I kept the other pink dress Marie and Ferison till I find a place to put them where they wont drop again. Hahaha!! I can hang them all on my phone though. The luck wasnt there for the last 2 Oscar and Andre which I wanted. T.T I went online to search and seems that ppl are selling the whole set from SG$100!!! It only cost SG$2.40 each turn!! I dont know.. Still tiking if I should get the whole set!! But the Oscar(as if shes falling down) and Andre(cross arms) are very cute!!

Besides Elisabeth, Im very very much in love with Rose of Versailles Story too!! This is about french revolution. This is a historical fiction. Of coz Marie Antoinette is the real person, but my favorite character in this story, Oscar and Andre is fiction, but they r the couple I loved the most!!
Recently they release a series of products featuring the main characters of Rose of Versailles. My dear frd Sayuri san know tt Im hopelessly in love with the story bought me a couple of it..

★ This is the bath salt series (only series with all the loving gentlemen on the package). I loved the Andre(1st one) most. On the packet the story line from Andre to Oscar ''Its ok, I will always be by your side." I had used all 4 and I liked the 2nd pack too. It has very nice milky scent.

★ This is the body scrub series featuring the ladies. So far I only used Oscar's pack(2nd one). It has a very pleasent scent. It has natural salt, very good to the skin. :D I do not have the 3rd and 4th pack but I dont mind to get them.. The 1st one? Marie Antoinette, had not use yet..

★ Hahaha!!! Me, who dont use make up, yet I just cant get my hands off the Mascara featuring Oscar!! Ok ok, again, the scent is good and it really curls and extend my eyelash!!!! Though my eyelashes cant be tt long like Oscar, but Im near to it!!! Hahaha thick skin.

★ This is the only mask they released.
I didnt know its that expensive!!! I only have 1 and I used it 1 of night at the hotel during WTC. Its really good good good!! Ok its not jus coz its Oscar and Andre on the packet(well though 70% is the reason). :P It make the skin feel really smooth.. But too ex liao la!!!

★ They had just released 2 more item. 1st 2 is eyeliner, last 2 is for eyebrow (not really pencil I tik).. I dont have them yet, but I dont tik I will use even if I have.. I guess I will keep them and stare at the package. Hahaha!!!

WTC 2008

Wow, nearly another yr had passed. This is the 2nd year that we helped to run the conference. My first day back to work after 2 mths break. I saw many ppl i know, especially the instructors both from local and overseas.. I was very touched. They were very concern bot my injury. Guys thanks so much! No worries Im bot 70% recovered! :D
Forget to take picture with most of them.... Well.. Hopefully I have another chance.. :p
This yr I learned something new, being a proctor!
Its interesting but back pain la.. Coz got to bend down to type the necessary thgs... But well, very interesting. Under the care of Lead proctor, Helene, 5 of us learned many things from her. I was very nervous at first especially I was the first one on duty, when there were so many of them at the same time, I was quite worried if I could handle, but Helene came to my "rescue". Thanks!! Shes still such a sweet lady.. I knew her since last yr conference.
Thanks to KL, we get to stay in hotel nearby so that we can get enough rest instead of traveling to and fro... On the 1st night we only rest for 2 hrs... I liked the hotel very very much.. Haha a huge bed with 3 pillows...
Its my 2nd time staying in this hotel.. The view? Super!!!!!!
Look fwd to next yr... Meanwhile, wking hard to make sure thgs get by smoothly.

「スカーレット・ピンパーネル」CM

Aran san's new show, Scarlet Pimpernel.
This is a broadway show, music by Mr Frank, which had been showing in places like europe area for years and had been nominated for several awards.
The Story is about France after the revolution where situation still not stable and people fear for their life especially the royals. Aran acted as a England royal whom is racing against time n frenc new govt to save the royals including the prince with the help of his frds.
This is the first time Japan is showing the play and I think Hoshi Gumi members did a super wonderful job.
All the tickets for Tokyo had been zapped up...
Cool Right...
The song in the CM is a new song written by Frank specially for Aran... He praised her for her wonderful n passion in voice.

My dearest one - 14th Jan 1983 - 14th Jun 2008

I went through mental struggle to decide to do this post on someone whom left and is(still) very very dear to me, Rayner Lim Ruixiang. We were together in the same class in sec 1. We got very close over the years and I started calling him "Ah kor" and he called me "Ah mui". By the time we left our sec school, we were still very closed. Hes someone whom is more than a frd, more than a brother, and even more than a lover to me. Though we had never been a couple, but our relationship is better than any couple. No one could ever replace him in my heart.

He, whom I go to when Im happy, sad, angry.
He, whom the first one I called to when I need to talk or bitch.
He, whom I go out for supper with till wee hours.
He, whom walked with me during my lowest point of my life.
He, whom had the common opening sentence with me, "free?" and we knew tt either 1 of us needed to vent out.
He, whom answered my call in the middle of the night despite he already asleep to hear me cry my heart out.
He, whom willing to rush down to meet me despite the time whenever I need a shoulder to cry.
He, whom willing to be my "bf" when I needed someone to help me out.
He, whom shared all his great findings, games, videos etc with me.
He, whom always helped me to carry my heavy bag or shopping bag w/o me asking for help.
He, whom nv forget my bdae.
He, whom share my food when the portion was huge.
He, whom lend me his jacket when Im feeling cold.
He, whom could go shopping with me and not feeling bored, coz we can always find somethg for each other to try on.
He, whom could talked with me for hours and a couple times of a week w/o worrying topics run out.
He, whom bridal services liked to ask if we want to buy package whenever we walked pass a bridal shop.
He, whom joked with me tt when we aged n if we 2 still single, shall share a house and stay together so that we can take care of each other.
He, whom took care of me very well and will get angry if someone bullied me.
He, whom even though left the world already, came back to take care of me when Im having a fever while in ICU. I knew he came, coz I felt the warmth of his hands on my head n telling me to inform the nurse that my fever is gone. I woke up and still feeling his warm hands and my fever gone. He still worries bot me coz he said I nv know how to take care of myself.
He, whom came to my dreams last week telling me what he need and could even joke with me when I asked him, "Do u want orange color?" and he used his usual eye roll on me n replied, "Since when did u see me in Orange?" and he laughed. I woke up feeling comfort that he is doing well on the other world.

Weeks before the unfortunate day, he talked frequently about death to me especially after his frd in CO left the world. He said he hope to die w/o pain, best if in the sleep. Though Im very very sad that he left me, but I find comfort in the fact that he left the way he wanted, though I didnt want him to go.
He was sleeping when the accident happened and he left in his sleep.
I remembered the last wds he said to me before the accident, "Im tired.", and he slept forever. Rest well, my dear Ah Kor, hope you wont be feeling tired anymore and thanks for taking care of me still.
