Had a delicious lunch at open in the pan or out from the pan or whatever it's called.

i'm a sucker for smoked ham and cheese crepes man.

and also one for good company and good ol dirty gossip.

met my JC bud,
and caught up over a couple of diet cokes,
it was fun.

she filled me in on her glamourous IBanking life,
and I her, on my lacklustre one.

cos of her 5 digit salary,
she generously paid for lunch.
I promised her a treat when I hit paydirt too.

i love such lazy afternoons...
then it was off to teach my 2 taiwanese kids.

i actually emjoy teaching them....
weird... but true.

and I'm waiting for Brian to ferry his dad home from CHangi airport.
i'm staying up to see if Uncle bears any gifts for me.

been nursing the bloody cold for the past few days.
think dripping nose, heavy eyelids, and lethargy.
well,
i just blew a bubble outta my left nostril.
hooray for mucus!

i'm getting better...
thank goodness

but yesterday was absoultely horrid.
a 1-3 class,
followed by a 3-6 break.
and my 6-9 china class.

wah... i don't even know how i survived it.
altho many ppl said that i looked like one of the walking dead;
i'm still kinda proud of myself.

on the upside,
i got a new 'do man.
ok.. new red layered highlights. esp the fringe part.
it's not that frankenstienish, more of haute couture okay..........

darn.

i think i should do a montage of all my different hairstyles.

so that i can show my granchildren one day.

I have had enough of listening to or reading about people who diss Weilian.

To the uninitiated,
He's the blind finalist in Proj Superstar. (not cross eyed, corinne :p)

I know that he's visually handicapped.
I know that he's not everybody's cup of tea cos he has a nasal voice.
I know that he's not as aesthetically pleasing as junyang, who is 1.67m tall.. like can we say EWWWW!?!!
(hey, if some people can have a preference for non-blind singers, I do believe that I have every right to state mine for non-short male singers.. guys have to be 1.7m and above thankiew very much.)

BUT give Weilian a break already.
he's got what it takes, else he wouldn't have made it this far.

and yes... we sympathise,
there's defintely an element of pity,
but wtf.
the judging was totally kelong and the judges were rooting for the other guy even though he sang worse, enunciated the english words like a PRC and went out of pitch.
like, hello?
i read from a reliable source, TODAY, that junyang already has a contract with the botak judge cos he came from that school..but whateverrrrr.

this guy has come so far!
not only does he have to grapple with issues we able people, can't even begin to imagine,
he had to face all the narrow-minded people who want him out of the competition.

Singapore, a gracious society?
I think like in a million years time, perhaps.

impartial judging was non-existent.
and that counted for a fair share of the result.

what does it take to be a star you say...
I'd say not only does it take talent, it takes a helluva lot of luck and perseverance.

My support for WL is not baseless, and not purely because he's blind.
How do I put this?

He is a busker.

In Singapore, we come across buskers of all shapes and sizes.
You have the blind guy at Orchard underpass,
the one without the limbs at Wheelock
and a variety of senior citizens selling tissue while performing in some way.

I've seen him perform twice at Jurong and Clementi Mrt stations.
And to say that he sang well would be a gross understatement.
I actually caved in and gave him two bucks, which was all that I had in my wallet that day.
and if you know me, that is so uncharacteristic cos I don't pause or stop when I'm on my way to somewhere.
I brush aside pesky secondary school kids who ask for donations. (cos I donate somewhere else and I don't appreciate digging for coins or having to stick an ugly circular sticky contraption somewhere on my outfit)

He sang that ou deyang's song...
and he made me LIKE the song.
how is that possible?
i hated that cheesy ass song at first.
but that;s the power of his singing.

listening to his singing inspires me.
it brings hope to a hard cynic like me.

he's gonna win the grand final too, i'm sure.
brian's already bought his EP for me.
Piao already bought one this afternoon.
and we're buying more to give to our friends.

To all the haters who say it's unfair that a blind guy won this competition,
Unfair is when you are born visually handicapped.

He won this fair and square.
DEAL WITH IT.

I finally met with the ever reclusive or as he likes to say 'SHY' Weirong.

oh wait.

no no no...

He's called DARREN now.

U know... He's cool and all dat.. and that's why for the past year, whenever I asked around the law fac for 'Weirong', all I drew were blank stares.

and turns out that Tat and Darren are super tight.

I feel like an idiot for asking everyone for a 'weirong' who no longer exists. humph

I should do a disappearing act too...

I shall call myself Bianca.

I mean.. I don't know how else to explain the fact that for the past 3 nites in a row, I've been having trouble staying asleep. I can fall asleep, but I have weird nite mares of Brian's dad being a zombie and chasing me and brian around the house while we hide in the toilet, of me meeting Gwen Stefani while carrying two LAMB bags and getting scolded by my parents for being so mad-obsessive with her or of random stuff like being back in the old campus of NYGH.... So I wake up feeling like there's a ton of bricks on my forehead, and I try to sleep in the afternoon but I get inundated with phone calls, messages, my sister's screams, my stoopid curtain slamming on the window grille or whatever.

Why am I so irritable........

WTF is wrong with me!!!!

OMG.
Who would have ever thought that LIMIN, YUNJIA, VIVIEN and YUJIAN and of course me would get together in K BOX and belt out songs and actually have fun!?

Min staged a mini Jay Chou concert of her own...
then it was a Steph Sun one.

The rest of us had to wrestle the mike away from the Judo Black Belter.

We massacred all of the songs.
Let's see what...
S.H.E., JJ, Jeff Chang, Jacky WU and Chueng, 999 roses song, zhang hui mei and alot more.

Yujian has lost a TON OF WEIGHT and I'd never thot I'd say this, but he actually looks not too bad now.

Yunjia can really sing! We're gonna sign her up for Project Superstar next year whether she likes it or not.

Limin should have foot 80% of the bill, since that was how much of the time she spent ON HER FEET singing.

We have already made plans for a holland village dinner,
and are gonna conviniently exclude those people from our 00s62 who went out on an outing last week without inviting us.

This was a nite that I'd remember for years to come.

You know that he loves you when he volunteers to go to the pharmacy to get you sanitary pads because you have run out of them, braves secondary school girls giving him the up-down while giggling at him when he calls me to asks me whether it's the ULTRA regular or overnight or extra-overnight ones that I need.

That's what I call a real man.

Love ya sweetie.
