March 31, 2008 · 4 Comments

anyway we got all our focals and decided to go out and have a mini “celebration”. well after all, you worked hard the entire year just to see that number right. whether or not the number is satisfying i think it’s worth a toast.

earth hour 2008

March 29, 2008 · 4 Comments

i’m surprised so many people around me are not aware of earth hour. why la guys Mother Earth needs more attention wey

so when i tell people to turn off their lights everyone was like “you?? so alert of environmental issues? it’s so unlike you!”

hello. i’m WWF volunteer okay wtf

anyway, if u’re not aware

On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund.

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.”

so actually its only in North America. But everytime earth hour happens i would turn off the light. i believe many people all around the world will do the same too.i didn’t want to be home alone so i came to starbucks. surprisingly starbucks participated too and they turned off their lights now. way to go Starbucks! 

starbucks.jpg

when they tell me they’re turning off the light for 1 hour and wanted to apologize for “any inconvenience” i was like are u kidding? u don’t have to apologize!!

starbucks2.jpg

of course we don’t only do this during earth hour people. but every baby steps count. we all should do our part everyday and make Mother Earth a better place to us to live in. yeayy…

it’s your choice

March 27, 2008 · 17 Comments

Okay.. here it is. Your choice, it’s simple. Her or me. And i’m sure she’s really great. But, I love you… in a really, really big… pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. so pick me. choose me. love me.

there’re so many of these things mushrooming like friendster facebook and a lot more unknown ones which i’ve been getting invitation from my friends

i don’t always spend time on these things like i think these stuff are so useless right. esp when one of my ex bfs deleted me from his friendster as one of his many attempts to cut all relations with me wtf then i stopped logging in to all this friendster multiply etc etc coz i think it’s so childish la

if not because my friend asked me to login to facebook to check out her new bf i would have forgotten i even had an account

i don’t know if facebook is really that complicated or i’m just plain dumb. because it’s hella confusing to me? i have almost 250 application requests. take a likeness quiz take a movie compatibility quiz get a drink get a drink from Top Friends request to hug you request to poke u request to play poker buy or sell your friends buy a pet you’ve been bitten by a vampire bite back wtf

like whatever shit u can think of seriously. so after an hour trying to figure out how all these applications work, i finally

give up

now i’m just going to put facebook to approve add friend request. that’s all i’m gonna do.

washington fuji

March 24, 2008 · 3 Comments

today when i was driving back from dance practice, suddenly there’s this car with 2 chinese guy inside driving very close to me on my left side. so i thought they’re trying to give me a piece of their mind because i’m driving rather slowly like at 40km/hr. i ignored them but they’re still going at the same speed with me and i can feel they kept looking at me. i know i’m pretty and all but there’s seriously no need to do so (wtf) i looked over and gave them the super tulan face i can ever squeeze out of myself. they then start to honk me like repeatedly. are u freaking kidding me chinese boy. so i gave them the ultimate middle finger wtf then they started to point in front and then point at their lane.

turns out they’re actually good people trying to tell me i’m driving on the opposite side of the road -_-”

seriously if i was in their place, if u think i would still try to save your pathetic little ass after u showed me your one finger salute. think again.

this has got to top the dumbest thing i’ve done whole week wtf

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

anyway YES i’m back to dancing all revived now wtfand we have a new studio now. there’s a church downstairs and the studio is actually the church’s. they made it for sean so we could practice there weee

KooZA

March 22, 2008 · 2 Comments

if you haven’t heard of Cirque Du Soleil, then where have you been? living in the cave all this while wtf

cirque.jpg

i think i first got to know Cirque way before when i watch CSI because one of the episodes were showing the crime scene in Cirque lol wtf

and then when i go to Vegas there’re so many advertisements around every hotels, KA at MGM Grand, ‘O’ at Bellagio, Mystere at Treasure Island, Zumanity at NewYork NewYork. these are the only shows that i know.

i kept requesting for the guys to go for KA when we were in Vegas but they weren’t very enthusiastic about the idea either because they haven’t heard of Cirque or they think it’s too expensive wtf and i was SO DISAPPOINTED

so when i was invited to the Kooza show in SF, i was thrilled, excited, euphoric, exuberant, excited. did i say excited already wtf i was beaming from ear to ear and it’s dream come true better than sex what do you know wtf

kooza.jpg

kooza2.jpg

KOOZA tells the story of The Innocent, a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world. KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil: It combines two circus traditions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning.”

our tickets!

tickets.jpg

we didn’t take any photos at all *sob sob so all the photos below are from Cirque website. trust me i was there!!!

Contortion. where 2 girls actually danced in unison and their bodies are like rubber. you wouldn’t be able to believe some of their movements wtf its like their body are not attached to their head and their hands legs are not attached to their body.

acts_contorsion.jpg

Solo Trapeze. this girl is the only member from the whole Cirque community who graduated high school.

solo-trapeze.jpg

Unicycle Duo. not very interested but they do fine. it’s all about balance baby!

unicycle-duo.jpg

Juggling. the very classic circus act, only that this one is like a gazillion times better like he can throw anything up and catch whatever shit that comes down so quick that my eyes and brain can’t catch up. and the lady beside him does nothing except coming out once in a while dancing and pass him more stuff like that keh leh feh hurhur

acts_jongleur.jpg

Highwire. 3 of them cycled from left to right then right to left with like a long bamboo stick and the 3rd guy is like balancing on top of the other 2. amazing wtf

acts_fildefer.jpg

these are the few that i remember very clearly. there’re a couple of acts more and there’re a lot of comical acts and singings and dancings.

i had my hands clasped so tightly the entire show because every act was so heart pounding! you would be so scared that they fall because some of them don’t have the safety wires tied to them like that wtf and omg the huge sigh of relief everytime an act is done successfully pheww

i forgot how long the show is but there were intervals in between which is quite long and we had to play domino.

i wanted to buy some souveniers and goodies from the store after the show but i totally forgot about it because someone kept complaining and complaining and complaining that “Wheel Of Death” is cancelled boo WOD oh WOD it’s a pity we didn’t see you because we heard you’re supposed to be the best okay and kel actually go and ask the guy why is WOD not shown and then kept sulking when the guy said “subject to change” lol why is he so cute <3

acts_rouedelamort.jpg

REGRETS okay boo i would have bought anything at any price because i wanted to prove to people that i was there okay since i didn’t take any photo at the site wtf so sad

i can’t wait for my next Cirque show until i finish all of them or until i go bancrupt wtf

have u ever experienced an anxiety attack?

pounding heart.accelerated heart rate.trembling.short of breath.chest pain.dizzy.nausea.choking.feeling like u just wanna die?

i used to have all these. pretty often i must say. i reckon it was due to work stress and bullshits like that. but i haven’t had those in a long long time. since i learnt how to live life happy wtf

yesterday night

i had the biggest panic attack EVER. i dozed off with grey’s anatomy playing on the monitor screen (of which if you know me, i have to watch greys in order to sleep and let it play the entire night till the morning), my glasses still on and a copy of “golden compass” in my hands around… 11pm? 12 midnight?

then suddenly i startled and woke up. it was quiet. the room was quiet. grey’s is not playing. i felt so scared and it’s like what the hell is going on? why is grey’s not playing? my heart pounded so hard so fast so furious i thought it’s going to make a hole and drop out of my body WTF i jumped off the bed and quickly click play on my laptop. and i hopped back to my bed feeling so odd, my hands were shaking i couldn’t think sanely and why is my room so damn quiet!!!!

ok anyway i was back to normal 5 minutes after that, glanced over at the clock. 3.53am. i closed my eyes and tried to sleep.

how weird
