Night alert

Do you leave your handphone switched on throughout the night or do you switch it off?

I used to switch it off every night until my paternal grandma fell very ill. Started to leave my hp on during the nights, just in case relatives wanted to contact me about anything. So from then on, my phone is never switched off.

Never knew that this would become "useful" one day again. Ok, I wasn't asleep yet but almost going to. And then I got the bad news....

Shall not mention it here for those who dunno.... All I can say, I hope kor found his peace and happiness...

Rockapella

Went for Rockapella concert at esplanade on Wed. They are an accapella group from US.

I can only say.. I love the concert!!! They're good.. really good... Very entertaining too. They do not only stand there and sing. They move, they turn, dance, shake. Good sense of humour while talking too..

it's really hard to explain why they're good. The guy imitating the percussions, drums, etc was good. At the end of the show, he had a minute or so to do his solo performance. Just amazing.... Another had a really low but magnetic voice. And 3 "lead" singers can singer really well.

All i know was that I really wanted to buy their cd while listening to their concert. Only managed to get 1 of the 2 different types though. =)

More accapella concerts to go!!

Grand Copthorne

It's a bit late for this post, but didn't have time and energy to type beforehand.

Went to Grand Copthorne Waterfront hotel for the buffet during lunch time to celebrate colleague's bday. There was a 1-for-1 promotion by HSBC card.

Anyway, here are my reviews:

- Variety of food not bad.
- Cold food: The sashimi and oysters not bad. There were fresh prawns too.
- Salad: The range not bad! Actually I quite like the appetizer section
- Soup: I tried the tom yam soup. Can only say NICE. I was even thinking about it the day after. hahaha....
- Main course: I didn't try much main course, so can't really comment. According to colleagues, it's ok lah.. The grilled lamb wasn't fantastic. Prefered the one at Triple M.
- Desserts: Quite a variety. The cheesecake is good! I even got to make my muah chee. Use tong to pull out some muah chee and cut it off. Then use scissors and cut into small pieces and drop them into the pail of peanut. Really feel like 'muah chee' auntie. Tiramisu not bad too!

Overall: I think it's definitely worth the money with the 1-for-1 promotion. Promotion ends at end nov though. If not, you can decide if you want to pay full price, or wait for another promotion!

bridesmaid

I just realized something.. I'm going to be jie mei in dec.. Think Ali chop me to be jie mei too, when she gets married....

That means I can only be jie mei for one more fren!!!! Unless I get married and then I can be jie mei many many times (which is unlikely to happen)

So who's the lucky fren? One more slot only..

Korean shows

Just reflecting on the 2 korean shows that I watch: Jin San Shun and Gong. Found something similar in both plots.

Gal like guy. Guy doesn't like gal at first. Then guy starts to like gal but the ex-girlfriend comes in the way. Then the relationship problems drags a bit, guy can't express feelings, etc..

It's nice to have a happy ending in the show, but the process can be terrible sometimes... Why can't the guy be slightly more decisive? Somehow the show always makes the guy so indecisive.. Or maybe I need more korean shows that depicts the gal instead..

在你心中有这样的一个人吗?

Found this on yj's blog. Think it's quite nice... (for those who see funny things, go to view>encoding>unicode. I also dunno why it's like that)


在你心中有这样的一个人吗?

你们可能相爱过, 你们也可能喜欢着彼此, 但是, 为了什么原因你们没能在一起?

也许他为了朋友的义气, 不能追你...
也许为了顾及家人的意见, 你们没有在一起...
也许为了出国深造, 他没有要你等他...
也许你们相遇太早, 还不懂得珍惜对方...
也许你们相遇太晚, 你们身边已经有了另一个人..
也许你回头太迟, 对方已经不再等待...
也许你们彼此在捉摸对方的心, 而迟迟无法跨出界线...

不过即使你们没在一起, 你们还是保持了朋友的关系... 但是你们心底清楚, 对这个人, 你比朋友还多了一份关心... 即使不能跟他名正言顺的牵着手逛街, 你们还是可以做无所不谈的朋友...

他有喜欢的人, 你口头上会帮他追, 心里却不是很清楚你是不是真的希望他追到...他遇到困难时, 你会尽你所能的帮他, 不会计较谁又欠了谁...男女朋友吃醋了, 你会安抚他们说你和他只是朋友, 但你心中会有那么一丝的不确定...

每个人这辈子, 心中都有过这么一个特别的朋友, 很矛盾的行为... 一开始你不甘心只做朋友的, 但久了, 突然发现这样最好...

你宁愿这样关心他, 总好过你们在一起而有天会分手...你宁愿做他的朋友, 彼此不会吃醋, 才可以真的无所不谈...

特别是这样, 你还是知道, 他永远会关心你的...做不成男女朋友, 当他那个特别的朋友, 有什么不好呢?

你心中这个特别的朋友, 是谁呢?

很多的感情, 都因为一厢情愿, 最后连朋友都当不成了... 常常觉得惋惜, 可惜一些本来很好的友情, 最后却因为对方的一句喜欢你, 如果没有反应, 这一段友情似乎也难以维持下去... 这也难怪有些人会因此不肯踏出这一步... 因为这就像是一场赌注, 表白了之后不是成了男女朋友, 要不就连朋友都当不成了...

有些事不是你能预料的, 或许对方不在意, 你们还可以是朋友, 但却已经不如从前的好... 也是可惜, 也是遗憾!

但还有没有可能是另一种情况, 你可能永远都不甘心只是朋友...

Tripod

I've got a new tripod!! Those who went with me to fireworks outings in Aug at esplanade might have heard me complaining about my spoilt tripod. One leg can't extend fully anymore.

Just got a new tripod today.. The legs are metallic pink in colour.. So interesting!

Happy happy... =) Feel like a lucky gal...
