WHAT A LONG WEEKEND!
And I wanna celebrate the fact that it's the last day of April today -
because May is a cause for celebration!!!!
1st May is my lil nephew's 1 month old party.
I simply love my huney boy.
He's so lucky, 'cause I'm definitely NOT his ONLY aunt.
gawd, he got tons.
HAHA.
Coming end of May is my grandma's birthday dinner.
It gonna be the event of a lifetime.
And.... School's reopening!
Hooray!
... Uh, crazy am I?
Haha, I miss da fellas mass commers.
Can't wait for Dan to return and go bowling together.
Ayu and me shall "bowl" him & Josh over!
How's work for everyone?
I saw some fella mass commers at Esply last night.
Gawd, it was like a Masscommer night or something.
But I'm certainly pleased to see familiar faces.
And of course, I had a hell of a good time @ Esply.
Gawd, why have I found sucha wonderful place to chill?
Though a pub will be cool as well, I just love my Esply.
So sad that they gonna build an IR there soon.
And with a casino.
Sigh, it's no longer the same old place I know years ago.
Let's talk about MY work.
Sigh, sometimes I wonder, is it 'cause I'm too incompetent,
or they don't wanna me to work too hard?
They are publishing a magazine for the play.
And I really wanna be part of it!
I wanna help to write, do interviews, give ideas.
I really want!
And I offered to help, but to no avail.
The director (my boss!) got someone else to help my Production Manager 'stead.
Urgh, I feel so sad-ed.
I mean, I'm also given work to do,
like finding food sponsors and blah.
But I wanna do MORE!
Can I?
Oh well, just 3 more weeks to go.
Can't believe it,
4 weeks into ITP and I'm still ALIVE.
Gawd.
Oh, I wanna thank my MSN kahkees.
Like Siti, Trina & Ayu.
If not for them, I'll prolly die from boredom.
Thank you darlings. =)
I simply miss ya people.
And guess who I saw??
The Kelly from the other cohort!
What's the surprise, you must be thinking right?
I went to visit my ex-neighbour today.
Damn ex 'cause we used to live in Jurong.
In fact, I was born and grew up in Jurong!
Anyway, we were in the lift....
I came out from the lift, and saw her.
I was staring at her.
And she was staring at me too.
It was SO FUNNY.
The world's so small.
Everyone's everywhere.
It was great, to reminsce the past, sometimes.
It feels great to know that I'm growing up.
Ha, growing up.

... and boss wasn't around!
Me & Kavitha, the Production Manager
We were crappy, aren't we? And she was driving then!
It's dangerous to drive and play!
Us and Kumar, the "intern" who gonna take over me once I leave.
Kumar freaked me out.
I shall remember, remember, remember, and remember to bring cam to snap the artistes in action soon.
SOON!

Because they are ALWAYS blue!
(It has nothing to do with myself being a bluebird, Weicong.)
When many people think that my job is glam (but no glam-er than some others),
they fail to see the dark side of it.
Now that boo and I are on it,
let me bring on the dark side of MY job.
Dark side:
Not the long working hours.
I don't mind tough job, really.
But the dark side is,
I HAVE NOTHING TO DO!
Just like today.
I practically sit in the office,
let the air-con gets into my head ( and make me air-brained),
chat with Bong on MSN (or rather, crapped),
and just slacked my day away.
I have really nice colleagues, I shall say.
Because they don't really treat me like kids.
And the artistes I've met are really nice & friendly - and weird too.
But our bad points - we love to eat.
That's bad, no?
Haha!
So there are BOOBOOS for every job.
I probably would think this is the best job if I really stayed in NP CorpComm.
But right now, I believe that every job has its pros and cons.
You can never find a perfect job,
like you never find a perfect one. =)
And thanks Bong, for your nice MSN company today.
All of a sudden, my MSN chats were overwhelming after I came back from buying my lunch.
So busy "chatting" I had my lunch an hour after I bought my lunch.
Hee.
All about "busi-ness".
Take care people!

filming in the house seems more tiresome.
but we had nice "breaks".
11 am - we had thosai & prata feast.
3pm - we had a good "spicy" lunch.
and i always have lotsa fun with the crew.
they always bring me laughter.
yesterday, they tried to include a fish in shot.
so it meant that the fish had to "act".
it was so funny to wait for the fish to come out!
=D
they are the people who mix work & play together,
and still produce good results.
they are really a bunch of... uh, playful & crazy monkeys!
hee.
---------
somehow, i wish i am somewhere far away.
like weicong, dan, dowell....
and i wish to meet some people up.
right, trina?
and.... i wish... i never exist.

my little nephew, Xu Kai.
his long fingers - my jerene sis wants him to learn to play piano!
my sis feeding him.
he's enjoying his food.
i'm an Aunt - again!!!
i've been looking forward to "meet" my little nephew.
jerene sis showed me some video clips in her labour ward.
the amazing thing about new life.
haha!
but what pained me was the sight of the nurses being rough to the baby.
they were not gentle at all!
my heart wrenched at every touch.
ouch.
anyway, it was fun-
hearing labour story.
i wonder how would it be like for mine....
met a very pretty girl today -
and i snapped her photo (secretly).
she's really cute, & pretty.
my grandma scared her by saying,
"xiao mei mei, ni hen mei leh."
(loosely translated as "little girl, you are very pretty leh.")
it's as though the girl was posing for me.
i can't wait to see my nephew again.
he's so pretty handsome.
his features are so defined.
he's really handsome.
and, he looks like his father!
haha, almost like a photocopy machine!

-Monday-
it was a hell long day,
cos' i got nothing to do and i spent 3/4 of the day ALONE in the office.
that was how bad it was.
it was HELL for me.
-Tuesday-
they had rehearsals for the play,
so the fellas came.
whenever they are here, there's always crap.
haha!
and the production manager kavitha came as well.
i joined vadi, kavitha and prakash on a island-wide run to publicise the play in schools.
so we went to the west side, after lunch @ harbourfront.
but we did not manage to cover all the schools.
but i went to ngee ann poly.
haha.
sure miss school.
it was a hard ride,
cos' vadi drove hard!!!!
haha, but it was fun during the journey cos' we really crapped a lot.
anyway, it was a fun experience.
and walking with vadi was stressful.
cos' he's so well-known -
that tamils would smile at him & walk up to him to shake hands.
and pasting posters all over serangoon road.
haha!
that was fun too, though tiring.
okay, tmr's my off day.
and i'll be visiting my new born nephew tmr.
YAY!
finally i'm seeing him.
oh, and i think for the next few working days,
i will be running around often.
it doesn't matter cos' there's a car!
at least i'm not cooped in the office.
hee.
okay, 4 more weeks of ITP,
unbelievable.
i sure miss my ITP -
the non-office moments.
HAHA.

Literally we "spring-clean" the tombstones of our ancestors.
Well, we used to set off in a big group and early in the wee hours.
It was a lot of fun, because we were doing things together as a big family.
Now, it's quite different.
We tried to go separate ways,
but we always ended up unable to find the tombstones.
Call it superstition, but there are some things which cannot be explained.
So we decided to go together,
but in a smaller group now - together with my uncles & cousins.
on our way.
me & surene sis, using her new Canon digicam
grandpa's homeground.
my grandpa's tombstone.
my grandpa.
our religion, our practice.
we gather to pray.
burning the joss paper.
I call it challenge,
cos' we always have to climb up & down the tombstones to get to my great-grandma's tombstone.
The tombstones are too close to each other, that there is no moving space.
great-grandma's homeground.
my great-grandma's tombstone.
my great-grandma.
My cousin, Yaozong, is one traditional man.
So traditional he gets to my nerves!
Yaozong: You want uh?? Cannot lah, you are a girl!!! Only males can!
I was like, "WHAT THE HELL?!"
When my uncle (his father) said I can as long as i am not married......
Yaozong: Nah! Give you lah!!!
BUT i refused to take it. Too late bro!
the joss papers flew.....
and while the cleaner was sweeping... this was what we did!
See what all the walking did to me.
When i was still young, my cousin Yi Li would piggy-back me cos' it was hard to walk.
We reminsced the past.....
Yi Li: Come, come....
Me: Uh, i very scared leh.....
Me: YAY!
Yi Li: Wah, so heavy!!
My Dad, and his two brothers. Alike, don't they?
On the way home, we snapped photographs.
My youngest sister and Yi Li look very alike......
...and they are not real sisters.
So i joked about their parentage when my mummy was just beside me.
Guess what i got?
Thanks MUMMY!
My eldest aunt-in-law & my grandma!
Dad & Mum.
So, you can see that the bus was really shaky!!!
Me & my brother Yaozong! The bus was REALLY bumpy, lah.
We were boasting who will be famous first...
The true, display of a hungry "ghost".
It's the time when the cemetery got really crowded.
And i still remember the time,
when me, Manoj, Darryl, Kelly & Ailing went to my grandpa's tombstone for Locvid.
My Dad was with us...
I can never forget, that we could not find the tombstone until my uncle arrived -
and we realised our cab just stopped right in front of the tombstone!
And of course, Ailing's screeching scream when a dog tried to flirt with her....
Ah, those memories.
Time spent with my family is always so short, it seems.
But with 1 month to my grandma's birthday,
family meetings can only increase.
Heh.
