Happy Halloween! I loved halloween when I was in Japan, all the decorations and costumes and all the fun Halloween activities I got to do with the kids..plus the Halloween stickers in Japan are sooooooo awesomely cute!!I should go dig some up and post the pictures up or something

anyway, before i get more sidetracked...the video has nothing to do with Halloween!It's the band wjx's in - Djezna Stalker's MV! wjx spent a lot of time on it with his crew,shooting and editing and everything..a lot of work went into it!I like it~ but I may be biased hahaha..

What do you guys think?? Leave some comments!

i want to dress up in a halloween costume~~~

By the way, I added a list of friends' blogs on the side..Joy i've introduced..Renee is my Japanese classmate and writes about Japanese related stuff ^.^ Mimi is my ex-coworker who has now gone to India to teach Japanese over there and writes about her life there :). Enjoy~

October

posted by tkl

October has been a hectic month.I thought after September I'd feel a bit more rested. Have more time for myself. But no.I'm not only exhausted but I am also broke.What with weddings, birthdays, having to cancel classes meaning no extra pay from my part time job...

But my cousin's wedding was beautiful. She put a lot of effort into planning it and it's wonderful how her family n her now husband helped each other. They were fully committed into making it a success. And I got a peek into how weddings are planned and I have to say that it is soooooo much work!!it's scary!!

of course, u could just sit back and let a wedding planner handle everything, but u end up with a very expensive fee and may just end up with tacky decor n by then u can't bridezilla ur way into putting things right anymore coz it could b too late.

anyway, i was 1 of 5 bridesmaids during the wedding. one of the funny things that happened during the wedding (yes, there was more than 1 funny thing that happened) was that 1 of the guests, my high school mate was very very star struck by one of the other bridesmaids, Deanna Yusof. He took a pic with her n tweeted that pic TWICE. Once saying 'by the way i'm married' HAHAHA...he's even using that pic as his fb profile pic now! oh well, she's a celebrity i guess she's used to that sort of thing.

I really want to post up a pic of my absolutely gorgeous cousin in her absolutely stunning gown...wonder if she'll mind?

anyway one of my favorite parts of the wedding was of course torturing the guys.

here, we're collecting kisses. i asked my cousin's husband to guess which kiss was my cousin's. if he got it wrong, one of his brothers had to eat wasabi, drink tobasco sauce or drink soy sauce. hahahaha...

This was the 2nd torture:

 my cousin had to learn how to put on a baby's cloth diaper...this was hilarious hahahhaa

n finally we put some keys in a bucket of ice, they had to fish get the right one out.we froze one key in a big block of ice as a decoy n they went out to smash it n got really frustrated after finding out it was still the wrong one hahahahha

anyway, i really think my cousin n her husband are great together. it just seems so easy n comfortable for them to be with each other.the wedding was really fun too.i only wish that i could have been as glam looking as the other bridesmaids hahahaha..


before i go to bed, wjx's band is playing at the Bee Jaya one this Thurs night!info is here. Go show them some love. They're giving freebies away!also, if u dress up, u could win some prizes!wish i could go but i've got short and sweet~~ anyone going?wish me luck >.<

How long would you wait?

posted by tkl

In Japanese class the other day we were asked this question. How long would you wait for these people, and how long would you let them wait for you?

1. your teacher

2. your family

3. your friends

4. your boyfriend/girlfriend

Take a minute and think about it.

From the answers you could really tell about people. One person said she would wait 30 minutes for every person, regardless of which group they were in. One said they would wait for their friends longer than their boyfriend. A young guy, in his teens said he would wait for his girlfriend forever. Did you just go awwwwww....????Coz i sure did!!i kind of went awwww but i kinda also thought 'let's see if u still think the same way 20 years later!' Am I jaded or what??I feel kinda sad that i think this way..although i don't think i was ever as romantic as that guy..our teacher said she could wait 1-2 hours for her friends and boyfriend! I can't imagine waiting that long really and not being pissed but i can imagine her being like this. She's sooooo patient.

But once wjx waited 1 whole hour for me.i won't forget that.i'm so so sorry i made u wait that long!n thanks so much for not complaining or whining or getting angry..

but i hope u don't expect me to wait around for u...hahahaha just joking!

short and sweet theatre 2011

i remember the first time i auditioned for short and sweet theatre. i was really nervous. to the point i was shaking. why did i do it? i'd a lot of time on my hands, was bored, wanted to challenge myself, break out of the rut i felt i was in and so on.

Why did i join again this year? I felt like i had more to give than i did last year, n i wanted to try a different role, a different script. and to have more fun.

So here I am again:

Short and sweet theatre week 2: Malaysia's First Catholic Hippo! And for those of you who are wondering, NO, I'm not acting as the hippo. Or am I? Haha, I guess the only way for you to find out is to come and see~ I've had fun during rehearsals so far, educating Lolo about childhood stuff (the guy doesn't know about teenage mutant ninja turtles, has never eaten gummy bears etc etc the list is so long I fear he will never recover his childhood LOL)

making eggs light up (thanks to the science teacher John)

Ivan's good at playing the guitar. We also talk about music, about theatre, make jokes, laugh, make fun of each other, add strange lines to the script during rehearsals..It's been really fun hanging out and I hope we continue to hang out=D Thanks for writing the script Terence and also helping us observe rehearsals! It's fun having u around :) Keep on writing, I hope to see more of your stuff, and maybe if I'm lucky enough, to be involved as well haha..

Terence will be acting in s+s theatre week 1, in a play directed by John!Break a leg~

Free Flow

I was in Cameron Highlands with 3 of my production crew for a documentary shooting. We celebrated the first night in the hotel room like this.

And we went out for more.

Came back to the room for beer poker.

Damn, I had the sweetest dream.

Zzzz.

If you could stop time...

According to my Japanese textbook, Seiko did a survey in 2004 where they asked 516 20-year olds about time. They asked them 'What moments in time do you want to stop?'.

There were 2 types of directions the answers took. One was positive, where the respondents wanted to prolong their 'I'm so happy and hangfook (pardon my Chinese side but I feel that hangfook expresses this more accurately than happy somehow)'. The other was negative where they wanted to stop time where it seems like they're going to fail at something and they wanted to stop time for everyone else except for themselves so they can figure their shit out.

Alot of those who gave the former happy answers were women and alot who gave the 'unhappy' answers were men, so maybe men have a tendency to be pessimistic?

I tried to reproduce the graph, it's below. It's in no way accurate and it's been ages, if I have ever made a graph using Word. Strange but I don't remember having ever made a graph using Word...how did I get out of doing that ever studying commerce???or mayb i've forgotten...

Before reading the article, my teacher asked us the question and my answer was 'when I'm sleeping and when I'm on a date'. Come to think of it, I also would like the weekend to last longer, they seem to pass by in a flash @.@...How about you guys? When would you like to stop time?

the hero of 'The Moment After'. Nuff said.

Basically only the first few seconds are funny.Why did u stop spinning around???!!!hahaha..but it's worth watching till later to hear the singing...

new art

lately i've been having this obsession with block letters...

See what I mean??I love the way katakana looks in block by the way...although i have to say some characters look way better than others...I love the way 'ki' looks like a lightning bolt *~

Even wjx couldn't escape fr my block obsession and his arm became my 'canvas' hahaha...by the way i blame the ugliness of the characters on him squirming, struggling to get away hahahaha and also coz his skin so soft hard to draw la hahaha

These are the lovely Medina & le princess Phua holding up my ugly drawing and making it look better by just being in their presence.hahahaha..

You may wonder. Why the word moment? Because of 'The Moment After'! Thanks you guys who came to watch~~It was really fun working with the cast, musicians and of course 'God' and Kam (nice semi-god, hahaha)...unfortunately a moment is just a moment and moments always end! at least i still have the pictures~
