第一个星期六的值班

连续两晚的 Training 和 Event,还碰到星期六要值班,我只能自叹倒霉。

有人换班。
又有人忘了值班。
有可能是人缘不好,竟沦落到省我一人值班。
雪上加霜。

不过自己值班也有好处:
自己做自己的事, 不必理会他人。
原来自己还有很多事情是不会和不清楚的。
平时,大家都很忙碌,真的不想成为大家眼中的“问题儿童”。
星期六能静静一人,慢慢找寻答案,似乎也不错。

过了这个星期六,应该要 6 星期后才会再次轮到我。(自己安慰自己)

14 Aug: 12 个小时 Rundown

1300
Suppose to meet at Orchard...
母亲大人忘了我的生日,“意外”发现后 insist 要我在出门前吃面线。
By the time 我到 ION, 已经是1320。
幸亏我是主角,才不至于受到 L 的黑脸!
午餐到 NYDC 解决。吃了想念已久的 Mushroom Madness Pizza 和 Mudpie。

1500
DFS Shopping 乐: 有了 L ,就有了 discount。好开心哦!
然后,从 DFS , 到 Far East 、Tangs 和 Wisma。现在,我通常都到 ION, Paragon, 313 逛街,不知道原来 Far East 也有裙子是叫价 $80 以上的。我们走啊走,走到 L's "battery flat"。

1725
Tea Time!
其实不怎么饿。不过真的有点儿 battery flat。要喝喝饮料,recharge 一下。
不过时间好像过的很快。

1845
让人期待的按摩。
足足一个小时。不过,我要 confess。有一半的时间,我是处于“半昏迷”状况,十分享受。
隐隐约约只记得她问我:"like that ok, mdm?"  还有 "mdm, mdm... i need you to turn over/sit up."

2000
S 在等我们吃晚餐,选了在 Plaza Singapura 的老北京。好像一天下来,美做什么,一直在吃。所以,真的是应酬大伙儿而已。S 真是有先见之明,说我们坐的是好位子。我和 X 都一脸的 lost。我们吃到一半,在我眼前突然有烟火!真是好位子啊!原来是 YOG 的开幕典礼。生日时有烟火助兴,也算幸运了。

2215
我突发奇想,提议看午夜场。这3个人看了很多戏了,要一起看个戏还真不容易。讨论后投票一致通过:SALT。

0130 (15 Aug)
我和 X 在 Taxi 上,准备回家。X 才指出我们已经出来 12 个钟了。哇!


p/s: 亲爱的,我真的很爱你们!谢谢你们陪我过生日。

Happy Birthday to ME!




A new way of seeing BIRTHDAY! Quite interesting...




What should we do on this special day?

雨季·就算大雨一直下


December Rains 雨季 the Musical - Promotional Trailer (TVC) - HD from Intuitive Films on Vimeo.



上一次看《雨季》是在1996年,是我中学时代。

终于等到了……再一次看《雨季》,它已有了新的诠释,感觉似乎比较现代化(comtemporary)。与其用生活化的道具来制造环境和氛围,导演巧妙的运用颜色来制造环境气氛,在视觉上有不一样的体会。例如:年轻的英雄和丽青订婚时,没有什么环境的道具,用的是黄色:黄色的衣裳,黄色的花等。黄色除了是阳光的颜色外,也让人感受到他们的朝气和喜悦的气氛。

除了视觉,我更享受的是听觉。对我来说,有很多的第二次。除了是第二次看《雨季》,也是第二次看 Kit Chan 和 George Chan 的 Musical 演出。上一次看陈洁仪的演出是英语歌舞剧,The Forbidden City 中的慈禧太后。而 George Chan 则是最近的《天冷就回来》。过了一段时间再听到陈洁仪的声音,不知是不是错觉,感觉她的声音好像更好了。我只能说 Kit Chan 和 George Chan 的声音有如天籁。

入门前见到梁文福老师,非常兴奋!老师还热心的在特刊上签名。这也是我看老师的第二个作品(除了《天冷就回来》)。虽然歌曲由梁文福和叶良俊两人操刀,但是两人的风格鲜明。妹妹看了演出后也告诉我:“哪首歌是谁写的,一听就知道。” 不过,我可以感受他们的用心,旋律好听,歌词更是写的很美。

请你请你告诉他我永远爱他
就算大雨一直下
心中彩虹长挂
彩虹尽头有个他

这场雨会一直下到 8 月15日。如果你错过了1996年的那场雨,别在错过了,绝对值回票价。

Library Books

Hands up those that are still borrowing books from the library.

While most people would have a deep impression on the Beethoven's love letter in Sex & the City Movie, I remembered something else from that scene. Big told Carrie that she might be the only person that he knows that is still going to the library and Carrie replied that she loves the smell of the books.

I'm one of those still visiting the library now. Not that I like the smell of those library books. One reason could be a habit from young. When I was young, my mum used to bring me to library and I would spend the afternoon flipping through the books, and 8 books limited by the library were definitely not enough for me! Haha...

Other than that, I seldom read a book for a 2nd time cos there's so many books that I yet to read!  Also, some books might not be worth buying. But you won't know until you read it. So borrowing from the library seems more economical.

I just found out recently the last reason why I like to go library. It could be because there's a dateline for me to finish the book. I realised that I tend to take longer to finish a book when there's no dateline. So not discipline? Maybe it's just human natural.

Melbourne Tour 之 City 必吃

Heard of Gordon Ramsay?

He'd just expanded his restaurants to Australia, Melbourne 2 wks before we touch down.
Our initial plan was to eat at Jamie Oliver, but it's fully booked! So Gordon Ramsay was the alternative. Honestly speaking, I'd never heard of Gordon Ramsay before I went Melbourne (Sorry Chef, no offence, it's my fault for the ignorant). We din do any research, it's based on A's recommendation that we went to the restaurant - Maze.

Embarassing moments. The website stated the dresscode: smart causal. I changed into my only pair of jeans that I had brought along, thinking that with my coat on, I shouldn't look overly causal. The usher that brought us to our table and surprised me when she asked for our coats to be put away. OMG!!!

Wat's good on the plates? The Server went through the menu with us. Just the names make me drool. But she went on to say that the portion is rather small, and it's normal to order 4 or 5 dishes per guest! After discussing, we decided to order only 2 each. To prefect the dining experience, we ordered a wine of our choice. I hoped we din look too cheapo-nana. Practically everything was good. The presentation made the dishes looked for like a piece of art.



Haha... Guess the cost of the dinner.
