so please excuse me mister

once i popped out from my bed i started searching youtube for videos of last night's concert. this girl, erlisa, has AWESOME SHOTS!! i can't imagine the torment of wanting good videos versus the desire to rock out. *respect*

here, check out gwen stefani's stamina, and singing prowess - she just kept dancing, jumping, gyrating, yelling, and didn't even miss a note! and also! look out for tony kanal's mad bass skillz in 'Ex-girlfriend'. there're chills all over my body now, just watching these vids. :D:D:D

Sunday Morning (YAY! YAY YAY YAY!!!)

seriously man, they gave us such a great time. i hardly stood still, and just kept dancing on the spot during the reggae moments (*good shudders*) or headbanged or leapt on the spot with my hands raised up high (OH. that's why my right arm is sore!). it also helped that the girls around me were complete fans and we sang along until our ears rang from each others' screams. heh.

as alvin said, the experience was surreal; we can't believe it was that good. and that they came to singapore. omgggggg.

RAWK STEADEHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

oh my flippin' goodness - No Doubt was incredible!!!!!!! they really blew my mind, coz they were so tight and i totally lost it once they walked onto the stage... i kept screaming my head off.

'GWEN! GWEN!!!'

it was a really, really good full blown concert (almost a full set already!) and N.E.R.D, Simple Minds and ZZ Top simply whet my appetite before No Doubt floored us all. T_T

but our concert going days are coming to an end: i almost fainted at one point coz i was yelling so loud. i felt myself slip to the side and snapped my attention back to Gwen. then once i could, i turned to alvin for some of that Coke he had left. apparently alvin almost blacked out too! i only found out after the concert. no wonder he was so quiet at one point - i thought he was just busy taking loads of shots.

well, for a full review (with pictures) i will leave that to alvin. but i just really need to shout on my blog how much i DIG NO DOUBT.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! come back soon!!!

no doubt

i'm freaking out coz i'm really excited. see ya tmr morning! with a scratchy throat! :D

claire, oh claire (creepy song)

yesterday while alvin was driving me home, i heard this song playing on 90.5FM. at first, i was quite captured by the tune, and smiled as the man sang... then i began to catch snatches of the lyrics... slowly, alvin and i got creeped out.

here it is; italics are the creepy moments when our skin crawled:

Gilbert O'Sullivan - "Claire"

Claire. The moment I met you, I swear.
I felt as if something, somewhere,
had happened to me, which I couldn't see.

And then, the moment I met you, again.
I knew in my heart that we were friends.
It had to be so, it couldn't be no. (me: 'aww this song is nice dear!' *alvin nods absentmindedly*)

But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why.
You get to me in a way I can't describe.

Words mean so little when you look up and smile.
I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child. (me to alvin: 'wait... did he just say that?' *peel ears back to listen more attentively*)

Oh Claire. Claire ...

Claire. If ever a moment so rare
was captured for all to compare.
That moment is you in all that you do.

But why in spite of our age difference do I cry. (me and alvin: OMG)
Each time I leave you I feel I could die.

Nothing means more to me than hearing you say,
"I'm going to marry you. Will you marry me, Uncle Ray!" (alvin: 'HE'S UNCLE RAY!!! UGH UGH')

Oh Claire. Claire ...

Claire, I've told you before "Don't you dare!"

"Get back into bed."
"Can't you see that it's late."
"No you can't have a drink."
"Oh alright then, but just just wait a minute."

While I, in an effort to babysit, catch up on my breath,
what there is left of it.

You can be murder at this hour of the day.
But in the morning the sun will see my lifetime away.

Oh Claire. Claire ...

Oh Claire.

signs of bipolar disorder

no way. i think at the most i suffer from what they call hypomania... but then again, how right is it to term every mood/emotion as a symptom? i reject this labelling!

depression is a spirit

the past three church services have been wonderful experiences. i've been wanting to blog about it but kept putting it off.

---

honestly, only when you start work will you fully relish a one day holiday. you can accomplish so much in a day! been watching glee (it's a great musical series), started watching Fringe season 2, cleaned my room, planned ahead for the wedding (of which the date still has not been set), and later i will tidy up my computer. if i sleep before 11pm, i will jog tomorrow morning. :D

week 1:

during worship i suddenly turned to natalie who was right beside me and said, 'you know, i think God wants me to tell you that there are other ways to worship Him aside from singing... i think i will see you on stage someday.'

after saying that to her, immediately i started to doubt myself. oh man, what if that's not really what i'm supposed to say? what if i'm encouraging her to love her instrument more than worship? what if, what if...

then i stopped. i need to stop doubting what i thought i heard. if it's wrong, so be it. i let it go.

worship ended and we all sat down. normally, after the announcements are done, the sermon would begin. but that day, pastor melvin said there was a special performance...

about 10 drummers from fcbc suddenly burst onto stage and started a percussion performance. it was really, really good! and guess what... at the end of it, the performance was a recruitment drive for a year-end percussion performance.

i turned to natalie with my eyes shining. she knew what i was thinking too - this is it. this was what i was talking about! in the end we both signed up for it (i joined in order to be her moral support... and because i've always wanted to play on drums. i went mad practicing on rock band immediately after that, haha.) oh and alvin also got dragged into this, thanks to me.

i am so glad i heard, and acted upon it. :)

---

week 2:

i can't really remember the exact happenings, but i do recall being really happy to go for service and telling myself to do more quiet time whenever possible. i also reviewed my days when i was 20 and going to church, and contrasted it with the present.

that week's sermon was about doing quiet time, and reviewing the days of daniel's youth and contrasting it with who he was 70 years later. still doing the same thing, praying three times a day.

it's like reinforcing what i'd already heard on the way to service. also, during worship i heard an 'i love you' and had first thought that was meant for my girls, but i got a little shake and heard 'that was for you'. how many times have i stood there and prayed for my girls, that i've forgotten to quench my own thirst?

---

week 3 (last sunday):

i had a really bad saturday. it scared me a little when i just suddenly burst into tears in the cab ride, and lost all interest in rock band... i just stopped being able to play, and stopped wanting to play mid-song.

my body sagged, and i knew that my demons had resurfaced. i pretended nothing was wrong, but when i got home i started to crack. then just as i closed my eye to welcome sleep, i just couldn't. all the fatigue that i'd felt before turning in left me, and all i had were my dark room, and thoughts and words running over, and over and over...

i started crying and sobbed so hard that i couldn't breathe. i tried calling alvin but he was not there, so i cried even harder, believing that i was all alone, unloved and friendless. i still remember my state of mind at that point - it was hopeless and very bleak. funny thing was, i knew that i was being attacked, but it didn't help that they were all half-truths.

eventually i calmed myself down and blacked out. the next morning i woke up feeling disoriented and i knew i had to tackle the problem. i wrote my email, read it through twice and clicked 'send'. then i knew - I HAVE TO GET TO CHURCH.

it was the week when the paradise band came down to preach. i worshipped my heart out, willing myself to feel better. i felt a little more perked up by the time worship was over, and the sermon was very apt. praise God first, ps ashley said. in all obstacles, adversities, disencouragements, praise God first.

when they made the altar call, i suddenly froze. then i thought to myself, if alvin comes down to look for me... maybe i'll go. for the record, alvin never comes over to nudge me for altar call. but of course, this time he did. when he popped up next to me, i started, and asked him why he came down to look for me. 'nothing, actually... but are you ok?' i shook my head, then tentatively told him about the altar call deal. he laughed and encouraged me to go.

but i didn't respond to the call in the end, and just stood there with alvin next to me. interestingly, ps khong suddenly made a second altar call for people who were feeling depressed. i raised my hands with no hesitation. pray for me please, i really need this.

alvin prayed for me at the same time ps khong was praying for those who'd raised their hands. i wasn't feeling anything, but my tears kept running from my closed lids.

when he was done, alvin stopped, and i opened up my eyes.

it was gone. there was nothing left... i didn't feel an ounce of sadness or fear. nothing.

i'm free!! :)

it's like a spirit which fled and is no longer torturing me. i do still need to confront my problems, but it's a lot easier without all that paranoia suffocating me.

it's been so good walking with God, hearing Him and experiencing His power. it really beats resting on my laurels.

WHAT THE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait, let me start this on a calm note.

this morning i got an update that the Great Singapore Treasure Hunt on Facebook was organizing another hunt at 3pm today.

'ooh the prize is a product from apple. nice.' so since it's an online hunt i called alvin.

'hey dear, it seems like it's a fastest fingers first thing. you're good at this kinda thing... wanna try? ... if it's an iphone i want it! :D'

at 2:45pm alvin called, and i talked to him abit while he sloshed his way home in the heavy rain. i was even joking with him that maybe we'll get the apple tv.

at 3pm we both refreshed our pages, and then followed the fb updated clue.



we both emailed gmail with the email address provided. i got nothing...

but 1 minute later, alvin msned me.

MY FIANCE IS AWESOME. AND REACTS AT A SUPERSONIC SPEED. :D

unfair

i come from an average family. i don't earn a lot, my mom doesn't earn a lot, and neither does my dad. so every month, i give my family $600 a month, and save $400.

when my parents opened our bank accounts, they gave us 10k each to start us off when we started work in the future.

but due to the lack of funds, i had to dip my hands into that 10k to last me through university. it paid for my books, travel, my allowance. that 10k only lasted 2 years. the next two years i worked during the holidays and gave tuition so i could stop asking my mom for money.

but of course, i had friends who organized overseas trips every once in a while. i could never go anywhere except KL, all of two times. everytime i mustered up the courage to try asking my parents to fund me, they gave me a 'can't you be more sensible?' remark or it'll end up in a squabble. eventually, the only trips i took were guilt trips.

now that i'm working, i keep trying and trying to save money so that i can get married because i no longer have that 10k. it's not easy, but i'm slowly getting there. i'm in charge of my finances, and together with alvin, we will have enough for a small ceremony.

then my mom comes in and says she wants 10 tables despite me telling her that alvin and i will be footing the entire bill. it's extremely frustrating because... let me show you how our conversation just goes in circles:

mum: i want 10 tables.
me: what? that's 10k mummy. 10k of me and alvin's money.
mum: that's the guy's problem.
me: ?? what guy? i'm paying for the banquet. me and alvin. not alvin's parents... there's no such thing anymore.
mum: that's the guy's problem what.
me: BUT I'M PAYING FOR THE BANQUET. ALVIN'S PARENTS ARE NOT PAYING FOR THE BANQUET. ME AND ALVIN ARE PAYING FOR THE BANQUET!
mum: i'll let the guy side settle that.

*breathes* ok, so whatever. if my mom really wants it, maybe for face reasons or whatever 'earning back from rearing a daughter' (i feel like a prized farm animal.) she can take those 10 tables. she can't hear me, it's ok.

then i walk out and hear my brother talking to my mom about going to korea. wait, they're funding him? it's almost 2k for just the ticket, right? and hasn't he already gone to hongkong twice, all funded by us?

suddenly i understand. we're obviously rich enough to fund adrean's trips. that 10k in his bank... i see... that money is for him to travel while he's not earning anything. to me it's like, i save and scrimp to give you money (despite the fact that i'm getting married and losing 10k) so WE CAN USE THE MONEY FOR LEISURELY THINGS.

i'm done giving you anymore money. besides, the 10k next year in october will more than make up for it.

and don't give me crap like 'don't get married if you don't have the money'. didn't all my money go to you?

sometimes, i really wonder if i'm loved.

---

adrean i'm not angry with you. i just think it's extremely unfair. and as your older sister i've really had enough.

a step back into caveman times

this totally shows up my irritation at the CEPAS card. HOW IS IT MORE CONVENIENT??! TELL ME!

Chuu says:
nus is annoying
they keep revamping their website and make it HARDER to use!!!
stupidity

Ms. Moo (@) says:
chill chill
don't u know? we're retreating into caveman days
the cepas card replacing ez link is stupid
the cels security is so tight nobody wants to use the faster lift anymore

Chuu says:
exactly!!

Ms. Moo (@) says:
now NUS has undecipherable websites

Chuu says:
wat's the diff between the 2 cards rite?

Ms. Moo (@) says:
how wonderful

Chuu says:
stupidity!!

Ms. Moo (@) says:
oh just a huge step back into inconvenience
did u know
that alvin and i, who're giro users
have waited so long for the giro thing to be set up for cepas
only to realize that giro auto top ups are now charged at a VERY CHEAP $0.25 per top up
they call it a convenience fee
the previous ez link system was FREE, mind you
and THEN
if you want to use GIRO
you need to pay a refundable amount equal to what you want to top up
e.g. my giro amount to top up is $20
means i need to pay $40 FIRST
then consequently it's $20.25 at each top up

Chuu says:
wat...

Ms. Moo (@) says:
so i thought

Chuu says:
that's so silly

Ms. Moo (@) says:
screw you. i'd rather manual top up
but ALAS
THERE IS NO INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF TOP UP MACHINES
SO EVERY MORNING
THERE IS A QUEUE AT SIMEI MRT STATION
OF PEOPLE WANTING TO TOP UP THEIR $@&#$ CEPAS CARDS
WHICH ALSO NOW STOPS YOU FROM ENTERING A BUS/TRAIN IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN $3 IN YOUR %&#*^%$ CARD
*enraged*

---

i'm not sure if i read my piece of information sheet from CEPAS correctly coz i was so irritated after seeing the key words '$0.25 convenience fee', and 'refundable deposit of the same amount' that i (accidentally) tore my sheet into two.

please correct me if i'm wrong. thanks.

déjà vu

from CarrollBlog:

Rain is good for romance. Walk through any city on a rainy day and you're bound to see this: couples close and happy under a shared umbrella, one's hand wrapped around the other's on the handle. Or getting gloriously drenched together, usually grinning and soaking wet, the hell with an umbrella. Or head to head at small tables under outdoor cafe awnings. Pretending they stopped here to keep out of the rain, but really using the excuse to sit close together and touch a lot. Others enter a store laughing, laughing at their wetness, delighted about everything. They don't want to buy anything; they're just using this dry place as an intermission. A happy older couple across the restaurant helping each other dry off. They're chatting animatedly for the first time in days, comparing notes about walking hand in hand through the storm to get here. They're both famished now. Something about walking in the rain. They'll eat like champions.

Days like these stay with you. A long time later you'll ask-- remember the crazy time we got caught in that storm? And their eyes will light up. Of course they remember. Guaranteed.
Rain is good for romance.

Nirai Kanai Okinawan Restaurant

alvin and i have been deprived of leisurely dates recently, so since we're really free this week (no meeting of friends/interior designers/marrying pastors etc) we grabbed the chance to have a good meal.

and since we haven't been spending too much on food recently, we raised our budgets quite a bit.

...

i feel like i'm justifying myself to you.

anyway! after an extensive search on hungrygowhere (it's my foodie companion! though the chances of me getting turned off by a particular restaurant are higher) we decided to go to Nirai Kanai Okinawan Restaurant, Tanglin branch.

it's nestled at a corner of Tanglin Shopping Center's 4th floor (not Tanglin Mall, ya?) so it was really quiet. alvin and i were the first customers. we took a look at their menus, but i already knew we had to try their pork belly, pork ribs, pork knuckle, fried bittergourd and peanut tofu, so we ordered all of that. plus alvin's asahi and my grapefruit cocktail.

the waiter squatted down to take our order (how japanese! *claps hands with delight*) and then walked away to the kitchen.

BUT HE CAME BACK.

AND TOLD US THEY HAD NO PORK KNUCKLE THAT NIGHT~!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

so alvin replaced it with fried fish.

here're some pictures of the restaurant:



the focus is on the shelves of sake/spirits behind me. they're all labeled with customers' names.



another shelf full of alcohol, already 'choped'.





here's my hamburgler face:



OH AND MY CURLS! i permed my hair last week and it's frizzing up a storm alright. well done.



alvin's asahi:



dish #1 - the peanut tofu



at first i thought it was like what i had for breakfast at hyoe, which was cold tofu and spinach in peanut sauce; simple and heavenly.

but this one looked more like just cold tofu in soya sauce. i approached it tentatively. hmm. the sauce is sticky... and the tofu seems to have the texture of a mango pudding.

i ate it.

and loved it.

OH MAN! it was so smooth... and although it was not soft like the usual tofu, it had this really interesting pudding-like melty feeling on the tongue. AND THE SAUCE! :D~~

dish #2 - fried bittergourd



there were pieces of pork belly in it! gosh.

the bittergourd pieces were so small and cute, i think the size of the entire fruit was the size of a pickle man! the bittergourd was CRUNCHY but not undercooked and flavored so well... mmm mmm.



i want more!!

dish #3 - stewed pork belly



one word: SOFT.

and melted in my mouth, and full of porky flavor. but out of all the dishes, i thought this one was the one i could skip. not that it's not good, but everything else was just better, you know?

i love japan's pork. it's just different.

dish #4 - pork rib soba



that was not the soba we're used to, but nonetheless still one heck of a dish. i loved how light the noodle and soup were, contrasted with the flavor from the soft pork rib. i'd take one nibble of pork rib, then wash it down with soup.

dish #5 - fried fish

it arrived looking like this.



so pro looking right? by the way i'm not fond of fish, unless it's really SOMETHING. or cod.

this was really something. there was a bowl of sauce which we dipped the fish into before sinking our teeth into... the crispy fried up outer layer and... fish meat candy floss??!?!

wow! the meat just melted in my mouth and it was so fresh! i really did not expect that!

!_!

alvin even ate the bones and the head... and attempted to steal my portion. :(

all in all, the meal came up to about $76 in total and we walked out of the restaurant knowing we ate a lot but not feeling stuffed at all.

after that we spent about 20 minutes raving how wonderful everything was. hahaha. yep, all the way as we walked to zara.

OISHI-NEH~!! :D:D:D we'll definitely go back for more.

best times in my life: 10 weeks of nursery

i think throughout the whole marriage prep course, the most i learnt was during nursery. in a sense it was a good time-out from service, of which i was beginning to get a little jaded of... but by the 8th week i couldn't wait to get back to expo for sermon! absence makes the heart fonder, ya?

and yet, those 10 weeks of waking up early to meet alvin for breakfast before changing into socks and stepping into David's Club, and helping them to prepare for worship, registration, clean up and taking care of children was so fulfilling.

out of all these activities, i think alvin and i excelled at worship, but i know i was terrible at storytelling, haha! alvin's Mr. Bible was pretty funny though. here're the children from touch centre!

playtime!



coloring activity before we begin, and that's en hui and grace!





both are them are SUPER guai. everytime we meet en hui out of class she keeps staring at us so she can wave whenever we look over. she's adorable.

alvin playing bowling with jeremiah and angus:



jeremiah is a gem. he's cute, listens to instructions, loves to hug, and has a great grin. and he loves alvin to bits.

angus... he loves you and leaves you. HAHAHA!

alvin gets overpowered by gracia:







elijah and gideon - brothers who are soooo cute together:





here's fu yi with his bowl shaped hair style trying to help us pack up; omg he's so cute. he also has an undecipherable accent... that week he had a mosquito bite on each cheek. HILARIOUS!





shana is my favorite. she's very smart. and she tells you 'no' and 'cannot' in the most earnest manner. teehee.







and here is jedidiah - she's really sweet, really smart, and loves to play house. everytime i played with her i had to collect ingredients so she could cook a meal. THEN SHE'D GIVE IT TO ME! *melts*



here's us getting overpowered by children and love:













gracia!!! she keeps snatching the things i am giving out... only to pass it to someone i'd apparently missed out. OMG THESE KIDS ARE SO GUAI!!! T_T







after this set of photos we got chided for letting the children get so rowdy. :P

our bad! sorry! heh.

---

here's our last week in David's Club - the craft session for that week was a tough one!



national day celebration - we gave the children some milo and they were extremely happy. they kept sitting at their seats quietly sipping at their cup and trying to prolong their drink. ahhhh so cute...



JEREMIAH!!





gladys and gerard; it was quite sad for me because gerard had finally become friendly with me... on my last day. :(



more jeremiah. he's really too cute la. oh when we sing and dance in a circle, he loves pressing his face into alvin's butt. i was highly amused; alvin - not so much.







isaac! he always has a foolish grin on him. :D:D:D



gerard doing his ultraman impersonation. just look at those intense eyes! he's really into it. :D



the other boys have their super powers too:







joyce who is the naughtiest and most ADHD out of all the children. and worst still, she's the gang leader. but i think she was the first i bonded with, so when she was disciplined by me, she really listened! YAY I CONTRIBUTED YAY!



aww, gerard. :(



hello, shana! :)









oh no, where's fu yi's bowl hair cut???

well, here're the two boys who are part of alvin's posse. :)

seriously, who wouldn't want to have a lion around them??



grace - super well behaved and sweet. her smile will absolutely melt you.



tse yang!



shana is not as tall as she looks here, she's got michelin legs and doesn't even come up to my butt.



busy eating her marshmallow:



that week's helpers!



AND I FINALLY MANAGE TO GET A PHOTO OF JOYCE AND HER SISTER JOEY (with the sweetest curls in her hair). dunno why they suddenly act shy, it's so unlike them. :)



packing up with rachel and jerry:



ARGH I MISS NURSERY SO MUCH!!!!!!!
