Right....so now I have a routine....and sadly said routine has me waking before the clock hits the double digits in the morning.....a big....OH MY GAWD to the night owl/burn midnight oil clan......I barely get enough sleep from some of the worrying I do...not to mention the sleepless nights lost to depression.......I haven't seen or even talked to the new NLD for a week and I think I'm going through infatuation withdrawal symptoms coupled with PMS............
I haven't been able to put in time in GuildWars which means my Ascalonian Mesmer/Ranger is still at a lowly Level 11 and my Canthan Necromancer/Elementist is I think.....it's been a while.....at a lowly Level 13 after 5 months of play.............ooooooo it's bad..........
I've got a script to memorise....Wayang moves to figure out...costumes to buy and make.....friendship to worry about.....jobs.....and Taiwan.......
You know this Pavilion gig is starting to look like more effort than it is worth......I'm beginning to lose interest...the worSt thing that can happen.....
Urgh...it's already 2:25...and I said to myself that I'd wake up early tomorrow to go to Globe Silk Store and Masjid India to look for fabric and costumes for Lao Jiu....urgh...now that is a project I really should have thought through first before agreeing.......but that was before the Pavilion gig confirmed their rehearsal schedule.......that coupled with my Japanese classes...is insane.......if I don't go to Masjid India and Globe tomorrow...the only time I can go is........Wednesday....or Tuesday morning........or should I cancel Jap class on Tuesday? Now there's a plan.............
Frus!

Bitch of a Living
The Bitch of a Living - from Spring Awakening The Musical
by Steven Sater & Duncan Sheik - yes THAT Duncan Sheik......
MORITZ
God, I dreamed there was an angel
Who could hear me through the wall
As I cried out, like, in Latin “This is so not life at all
Help me out, out of this nightmare.”
Then I heard her silver call
She said, “Just give it time, kid. I come to one and all.”
She said, “Give me that hand, please, and the itch you can’t control.
Let me teach you how to handle all the sadness in your soul.
Oh, we’ll work that silver magic,
Then we’ll aim it all the wall.”
She said, “Love may make you blind, kid, but I wouldn’t mind at all.”
ALL
It’s the bitch of living
OTTO
The bitch, just the bitch
ALL
With nothing but your hand
OTTO
Just the bitch, yeah
ALL
Just the bitch of living
As someone you can’t stand
GEORG
See, each night it’s, like, fantastic
Tossing, turning without rest
‘Cause my days at the piano
With my teacher and her breasts
And the music’s, like, the one thing
I can’t even get at all
And those breasts!
I mean, God, please, just let those apples fall
ALL
It’s the bitch of living
OTTO
The bitch!
ALL
With nothing going on, nothing going on
Just the bitch of living
Asking: What went wrong?
Do they think we want this?
Oh, who knows!
ERNST
See, there’s showering in gym class
HANSCHEN
Bobby Maler, he’s the best
Look so nasty in those khakis
ERNST
God, my whole life’s like some test
OTTO
Then there’s Marianna Wheelan
As if she’d return my call
HANSCHEN
It’s like, just kiss some ass, man
Then you can screw ‘em all
MELCHIOR
It’s the bitch of living
And living in your head
It’s the bitch of living
And sensing God is dead
ALL
It’s the bitch of living
And trying to get ahead
It’s the bitch of living
Just getting out of bed
It’s the bitch of living
And getting what you get
It’s the bitch of living
MELCHIOR
And knowing this is it
ALL
God, is this it?
This can’t be it
Oh God, what a bitch!

Of barbies, soirées and indulgences....
So yesterday's barbie ended on a mad note.....the Corporates were having a roaring time getting drunk.....Alyson was near passed out on the floor! Generally I got complements on the food...from the goat's-cheesed-filled burger patties to the humble vege skewer mushrooms....tho that could just have been Ken buttering me up for gawd knows what..........just teasing love, no!!! SAYANG..... haha....like Ken reads this blog..........but nevermind....
Aaron brought to my attention that it's pretty much been 2 years since we've first met....and since I've had a barbie for the peeps at Sunway.......and as I recall.......it's also been quite a while since I've had a barbie for any of my other social groups either......sad really since barbies at mine....is quite a fixture..in not just my mind too!...nice to know that...
Anyways.....I've been telling people who couldn't come for yesterday's shindig that I'll be having another one before I leave for Taiwan at the end of the year....but now I'm not so sure......coz truth be told......as much as I like doing the preparing for the barbie thing.....with the money I spent on this one....and my penchant for soirées.....I'm prolly better off having a party at a restaurant......Relish or Rahsia anyone? And since it's my party....maybe I can finally get Paolo Delfino and the boys to perform........okay....that maybe stretching it for a farewell party..........but yea...with the money I spent...I really might as well have a party proper......if I can afford it........
Yesterday night...or actually more precisely this morning....or actually just now...it has come to my attention........that I can be very indulgent certain people.....Aaron for instance...bunny....he doesn't walk all over me...but I actaully once beboned his Nando's for him..not to mention bought him a soft toy bunny for no other reason other than...well...it's Bunny.....now I'm on the look out for a giant pink furry one.....Aaron sized...anyone know where to get one? I pamper the chilfd...really.... Then of course, there was NLD.......I lent him verything...from car to money....yikes......then of course finally......there's new NLD...I put up with his incessant insistence that he is perfection incarnate and has prettier hair than me, his remarks on me being bourgeois, him raiding my alcohol store and.....worst of all.....creasing the spine of my book!!! Sacrilege. But I just take it in.....tho I have to admit...his does earn his keep and he himself is an indulgence on my part....so I suppose it's a fair deal........yes...the new NLD is a decadent little dish...all long bony limbs, sardonic eloquence with a highly intellectual mind to boot......all my lonely little heart could ask for....... *wink*
Speaking of indulgences...I'm currently sitting here with a box of my favourite belgian chocolates...GuyLian....you know the ones...the seashell shaped ones.......yummy......I just feel ferociously hunger...have been all evening........must be exhaustion........

Game and Action..........
Oh and did I mention I got some last weekend........? ; ]
Despite a rocky start..........
Despite a rocky start..........
The Vapidity of Life
From the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary -
vapid
Pronunciation: \ˈva-pəd, ˈvā-\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin vapidus flat-tasting; akin to Latin vappa flat wine and perhaps to Latin vapor steam
Date: circa 1656 : lacking liveliness, tang, briskness, or force : flat, dull (a gossipy, vapid woman, obsessed by her own elegance — R. F. Delderfield) (London was not all vapid dissipation — V. S. Pritchett)
synonyms see insipid
— va·pid·ly adverb
— va·pid·ness noun
-----------------
That is not to say that my life....is vapid...far from it...my life.....is rather emo....
But vapidity is what one would expect from beauty queens...no? I mean if you make it your life's career to be a beauty queen.....vapidity is bound to follow........having to look pretty all the time.....does 'wonders' for the brain cells one must think......at least...that was what I was half expecting going into a beauty pageant myself.....
My, how low must one stoop to fulfill one's dreams of stardom, some might say.......and perhaps that is in part...true.......the Asian entertainment industry is nothing if not superficial........beauty queen turn actresses are a dime a dozen.......whether they are good actresses...actors!....is another matter all together...and more often than not....unimportant.....
I'm pleased to say tho...that I was.........partially wrong...for the most part.......there are bevies of young women with reasonable good heads on their rather well adjusted shoulders.......and I've got to admit...you have to respect them........it's takes quite something to do what they do......and competition is at times harsh....and totally unfair.....
But enough about that and being philosophical....and back to me......
Today was a emo day for me...and I have to thank Paolo Delfino but especially his Short-Attention-Span Band for helping to cheer me up.....you guys may not of course realise it....but I was really bummed before coming to the show.......but good music's always good for the soul....and so was hanging out with EuGene, Edwin and Anne after the show...... ; D
Truth be told......hanging out with Z prolly would have done the trick too........but boy, you need to get it together man! Sorry mate I tried......I got all dolled up for near nothing!!! YOU OWE ME Z!!! Plus I really wanted to see Twilight Action Girl!!!
But how the evening eventual transpired was still great........nothing beats just plain hanging out and getting to know new people....and getting dish about others.......
FYI Ed, and I know you read this sometimes......what I didn't say at the mamak just now was...... tho from EuGene's teasing you might have gathered.....I had a thing for JC for a while.....okay, quite a while....but really, with his antics, which sane girl wouldn't??!!!...it's actually one of the reasons I came for that gig at JamAsia that first time.......but I'm glad I went coz you guys are awesome...and I really mean it......I heart you guys man......but anyways.....so yea...I had a thing......but I'm no longer in the fan club coz I got shot down.......so right now...I'm kind of keeping my distance........so yea........but then...that shouldn't really be that big of a revelation should it?? hehe......this is a 'public' blog afteral.........and somethings I just can't say.....coz it's not my place......
Okay....enough about that........here's a plug......
If you aren't coming to my party tomorrow...or tonight.....that's the 15th..........GO CHECK OUT PAOLO DELFINO at BB Park at like....9-ish pm...........coz they rock!....in a mellow sorta way......
Eugene, Anne and Edwin..............WE ARE SSSOOOOOO GOING KARA SOON!!!! *wink*
