Open your mouth and say AHHHH....

Meiyi held her wedding on Sat and Sun. This is the 5th wedding for the 4/6 girls. Was fun catching up with the rest. I still don't understand why our RJ prom photo appeared in the couple's from-childhood-to-now slideshow! Horrible photo with bad makeup and dress sense! Anyways...

TOP ROW (L to R): Jill n Eug go "ahhhh" cos that was the couple's fav pose; the couple's walk-in and me back view...kekeke; FY trying to grab Karen's breast, lucky for YH.

MIDDLE ROW (L to R): All normal pix except for the last one where Sooty tries to do a booby-grabbing-FY. Tsk tsk.

BOTTOM ROW (L to R): All normal pix. Phew.

Thanks to Sooty for the lovely montage. :)

Jump 離開地球表面

Great time at Krabi with Kartaly. I've perfected the jumping shot there.
1 2 3 JUMP (on the seashore) *snap* voila!
But too much skin exposed lah, so cannot post here. Unless I got supermodel figure of course :)
Kartaly took great artistic shots of me though...so for the first time, I actually look nice and slim in my bikini.

I used my jumping skills again at the museum yesterday (see pic). And I quite like my jump :) Maybe I should send it to Mayday, as an interpretation of their Jump album.

Milk Chocolate Boy's friend speaketh

I get another SMS as I write the previous post. This time it's MCboy's friend from the same percussion band.

S: Ms D, u go thailand cheap rite? u must buy 4 our band sumthing ah..like shirt or wat...hahaha...Then u go there, watch SEA GAMES ah??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Milk Chocolate Boy speaketh again

My percussion band boys (now with an extra girl) are performing outside Ngee Ann City, near the Christmas tree at the 7-eleven kiosk, tomorrow (Dec 7) between 5pm and 7.30pm. They are really excited cos it's a public performance! Haha. I think they really feel like celebs :)

Unfortunately, I won't be around cos I'll be flying off to Krabi later. Yaayyyy!!! Finally the holiday is here!!!

So anyways, I'm sms-ing the band that I won't be around, and Milk Chocolate Boy (MCboy) strikes again.

MCboy: Hello Ms D...

Me: Yes?

MCboy: Ms D, you go Thailand arrr? What time you flying? Why you never see us perform?

Me: 6plus.

MCboy: Aiya Ms D, you come lah (see us at the practice later)...one hour late never mind lar...last time I also one hour late for my flight...

Me: Aiya you got lucky star...if I miss my flight, you pay for me arrr??? You want anything from Thailand?

MCboy: (Silence. Thinking hard.) Elephant.

Me: Hahaha. Ok I get you elephant keychain.

MCboy: Doh wan lah... I want baby elephant. Or, got orang utan??? Thailand got a lot of orang utans!!!

--------
Yesterday, MCboy called me too. This time, for a noble deed he wanted to perform for the country.

MCboy: Ms D, you know tonight the Hougang MRT there got terrorism...you know the civil defence save the passengers from terrorism???

Me: (Thinking hard why on earth he would ask me about civil defence exercises. Do I look like the civil defence???) Errr....I donno.... why ah?

MCboy: I ask my brother if he knows, then he said maybe the CC (community club) will know. Ms D, your there is CC right? You know or not arrr?? Because I want to go and be the passenger...

Me: (Trying not to laugh.) Errr... my here not CC lah... we counsellor leh... wah... you so good, wanna be injured passenger ah??? Hahaha.

MCboy: Yar. I want.

Why is your life so happening???

"Why is your life so happening?"
That's what Sooty said just now over msn.
Hmm...actually it's true. I think my life is quite happening now. It's not clubbing-meet-lots-of-people happening (cos I don't club), but simply, happening.

The breakup has been good for me. I was way too comfortable in the world that I was in - just the two of us. I was feeling snug, cosy and safe. Until I was finally shaken out of that safety net and flung out. Life simply went on (more God-centred, which is good) and life just took a shape of its own. I didn't have to purposely cram it with stuff. All the good things just happened, and are still happening.

I must feel a lot friendlier and open to people nowadays I think. I have actually widened my personal space to include more of them, and I think they feel it. I can be the warm and amiable me, if I want to. And I'm doing this because of effort. Not contrived effort, but just normal effort, which comes more naturally now to a supposedly introverted me.

Like Sy Rogers says, I must take advantage of this season. And for now, I'm in season.

Curled up in the House

Was helping ethan mummy with her flea market stall some weeks back, at House in Dempsey Road. Caught a shot of tired lil' ethan curled up asleep on the couch, totally oblivious to the thumping music spun by the DJ nearby...lil' ethan adapted well that day. If not, ethan mummy would not have survived!

listen to the rhythm 2

A few days before the youth concert, one of the five 13-year-old boys called me to ask what he was supposed to wear for the drum performance. They had all agreed to wear all black.

S: Ms D, I don't have black pants.

Me: Hmm...What's your darkest coloured pants?

S: Peach.

Me (trying to control my laughter): PEACH? [trying to prevent myself from asking who in the world wears peach pants] *cough* eh...what do you mean by peach ah?

S (pausing for some time to think): You know, like milk chocolate?

Me (suppressing my laughter even more): Milk chocolate is dark brown right?

S (very serious): Nono, it's lighter than dark brown!

Me: Ermm... you don't have other colours???

S: Got. I got one blue one. But Ms D, it's shiny.

Me: !!!!!! Eh.. how come your pants all so special one???

S: Aiya, it's like sky blue lah. Can or not???

Me: I think you wear your milk chocolate pants better lah...

Thank goodness he found some decent grey cargoes the next day! :)

listen to the rhythm

The Rhythm Kiozk boys put up a great drum performance during the youth concert on Saturday night. So proud of them :) I've witnessed first-hand the wonders of stress and intimidation. The bunch of 5 boys, all 13 years old only, were really intimidated by the stylo mylo older bands present. They were so scared that they ran back into the dressing room when they saw the bigger boys approaching. So funny! Then they started to practise their drums for the next 8 hours, pausing only to play the fool (read: hiding in cupboards, switching off all the lights to scare people and looking for other 13-year-old girls to bioh...sigh...boys will be boys...) This was the first time I saw them take the performance so seriously... they just banged and banged on the drums throughout the day.

Thank goodness my colleague brought UNO cards (meant to entertain bored social workers who turned out to be very busy instead) and the boys gave my eardrums a break from more drumming by playing the cards. Thanks to my sporting colleagues who cheered, clapped and whistled when the boys performed, cos they really responded to the support through their playing! :)
