when you grow up

When you were young enough, doing all that fun kid stuff.

Did you think of what you'd be?

Marco polo in the pool.

Kickball games behind the school.

Playing tag and hide 'n' seek...

When you grow up, what kind of boy will you be?

Oh, what will you be..?

Drawing pictures with some chalk.

Raindrops wash it from the walk.

Summer days it never ends..

Spin the bottle on the ground.

Watch it turning round and round.

Maybe he will be my friend..

When you grow up, what kind of girl will you be?

Oh, what will you be..?

Will you write a book?

or invent a machine?

Will you be an astronaut?

or will you sail th sea..?

When you grow up, what kind of person will you be?

All the things you'll be...

... Happy ...

Fabulous February.

Gosh, I typed out the whole lot of words in this entry and I could not publish it! Got to retype it all out now.

Anyhow... I finally watched finish the entire remake of the huan zhu ge ge ("hzgg"). I believe out of all my friends I am the only one who love hzgg this much. Even rewatched the original hzgg like 3 or 4 times~ So I kinda know the story inside out! I guess that made me thought the beginning of the remake version was a tad draggy as I knew more or less what will happen.

Nevertheless, the show is recommended to those who like the original version of hzgg~! The remake has a lot more funny scenes and it has a modern twist to it. For instance, there is soccer game, chocolate drink and even violin playing! These are due to the fact that Ban Jie Min ("BJM") was included in this version~ =)

BJM is acted by a american actor, Benjamin, who is interested in the chinese culture and he self taught chinese to himself!! Mind you, none of his parents are chinese. BJM role came about when Qiong Yao saw Benjamin in a Taiwan singing competition and decided to create a role for him. In the story, BJM was Yong Qi's (i.e. 5th prince) love rival.. BJM loved Xiao Yan Zi ("xyz") unconditionally. BJM was the palace artist whose job was to draw portraits of people or places for the emperor.

The remake version injected more sadness too~ the parting scenes were heart wrenching!! But I wish there were more to the ending.. even the ending was a little sad.. But the show reminded me how long ago, without handphones, without telephones, without the internet and even without post man, it was so difficult to part with one another!! once part, one will never know when will be the next time you can see the person again. Hence in a way, once part is part forever that kind of feeling =(

Before watching the show, I had my doubts on it cause I was a die hard fan of the original version. After watching, I prefer the remake version story line =X It felt more realistic ba.. But both original and remake version will always have a place in my favourite show list =))

Here are pictures of the cast of the remake version:

Below are BJM, Yong Qi, Er Tai and Er Kang..

Below are the princesses, Jin Suo, "si da cai zi" and "liang da mei nv"..

Below is a video of Zhang Rui (the man who acted as Yong Qi) and Benjamin each singing different song. Listen to Benjamin singing~ =D About 2.45 min into the video.

Back to reality!!

Met up with Serene and Bernadine on 25 Feb 2012 and we went to marina barrage to fly kite. We didn't manage to get the kite to fly for long as after trying so long and when finally flew, it kept getting stuck to other kites! =( but nevertheless, the process of getting the kite to fly was definitely an experience!! =D Made a new friend too! Le.. Will be meeting them again soon to celebrate Serene's birthday.

On 28 Feb 2012, met up with Poh Eng~ =) Went around Tanjong Pagar area to hunt for a dinner place. After walking for quite a while, we settled at a Jap place. The food was not too bad.. We did a lot of catching up there~ that is the beauty of not having to rush through dinner to let others have a chance to sit. =X

After dinner, we went to hunt for dessert. Just when we were about to give up, we chance upon Antionette!!!!!! We hurried in and ordered the cakes and macaroon... and got busy taking pictures =D Aiya, Poh Eng, we should have taken pictures together too~! Next time! We stayed there till it was the closing time. Then we walked to mrt station. haha, Not sure how we walked we ended up walking to Raffles Mrt instead of Tanjong Pagar Mrt!! It was a day where we walked a lot!! Let's do it again soon!!

Yesterday, headed to library on my own. It felt so good to step into the library and search for interesting articles in magazines =D I wonder what will ever happen if there is no more library... I hope that day will not happen!!!

Sian... Tomorrow is the start of another week!! =( and I got to wake up super early tomorrow due to my company's budget seminar! ahhh~ But thankfully I am on leave from thur to the next monday!! That will be what I am looking forward too~!

Till the next time. =)

leap year

Wow, it has been more than a month since my last post~ Been meaning to update but never seem to find the strength too.

Funny how today my colleague asked when did I found out about passion cafe. I told them about a month ago. And I realised from my last post it was a month and a half ago!! It felt so long but it was so short.

Actually I've got like tons of things to update but I guess it will have to be another time. This weekend, I've gotta sort my pics to print, timesheet, blog and update my personal diary. And of cos to make an effort to help out around the house.

Ok, time to sleep...

t.g.f.f

Thank God For Friends!

I wondered what happened to the girl who once love to blog so much, and kept typing so much that she finds that she was typing too much words! lol~

Anyhow, met Poh Eng for lunch today~ she brought me to a side of tanjong pagar which I have never been too!! lol~ ok, probably I know of the area's existence when dad drove past the area, but never went to pay attention to it. She brought me to this place called passion cafe. The miso soup is really not bad, never a fan of miso soup because of the flavour. But this miso soup was just nice. =) I had the chicken katsu curry rice. The chicken was tender! Just that the curry was too much for me~ But I am the weird one I guess, because people would finish up all the curry. haha.

Then before we part, she gave me a surprise~ so sweet! really happy to read long letters written by friends to me!! THANK YOU POING once more for the encouragement!

It has been a week since I went back to work. today felt like the most busy! Heard that I will be focusing more on corporate tax this year, my individual tax portfolio is less than the rest. Hopefully that is the case, then I can start on corporate tax soon. But then, won't it be unfair to the rest? hmm.... but then again I got like 30 more corporate tax! wish me luck man! I've got to be more confident of myself and my decisions. Time to read up more to improve my tax foundation!

Finally tomorrow is coming! =)

calm mind

Kenny G.

Was randomly searching youtube and came across Kenny G. I wondered why he was so famous till I heard his video today!! His songs has a calming effect even though the instrument pitch is high!!

Did a short research on him. Was surprised to know he major in Accounting when he was studying! Had expected that he would major in something music related. Anyhow, he is really talented, he can play the saxaphone and yet has this calm expression on his face, like he is at peace. =)

Time to head to bed! tomorrow is T.G.I.F!
