tAke 5

having my much needed mid-week, mid-day five minutes ME (and my mags.) time
am in a dilemma as to what to get The Boy this Christmas (i know!!! Christmas is only 8 weeks away!!! YAYNESS!!!)
what would you like for Christmas darling?
*goes back to flipping through pile of mags.

sir andrew lloyd webber and the phantom of the opera

Surfing the Net this afternoon, i came across this piece of news.
Have loved Sir Lloyd Webber's works since learning to appreciate Musical Theatre.
Cats.
Jesus Christ Superstar.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
The Phantom of the Opera.
The Sound of Music.
These are just some of the amazing works of Sir Lloyd Webber i've caught.
Have been looking for his Starlight Express and Sunset Boulevard for ages. No luck so far :(
During the sec. sch. days when i was like, totally involved in band, we also got to learn and play some of the music from his amazing works. Especially loved the music to Cats! Who could possibly not love and feel for Elaine Paige's Grizabella when she broke into Memory.
Tonight, i dug up the 'ol Phantom CD. Can't remember when i got 'em but i reckon it must have been a good 10 - 12 years ago; the bits on the CD casing which were white have all gone yellow. hurhur.
I love, love, LOVE that he had Sarah Brightman in the role of Christine. She sounds absolutely amazing! And every time i hear Michael Crawford's Phantom, my heart goes out to him.
The sister and i were really excited to learn of his working on Phantom: Love Never Dies, a couple of weeks ago. Now, having read about his current health conditions, we're really praying for him, and his being able to complete work on Love Never Dies.
*touchwood. if he, you know..., we will forever have one less magnificent, genius of musical theatre.

HAPPY

One of those random Sundays when i'm feeling ridiculously HAPPY!!!

I woke up smiling to myself (hmmm... maybe i had good dreams last night... can't remember), the early morning call from the Boy made me happier, i went to Church still smiling, and i was in such a rare happy mood i suggested driving-thru maccas for lunch! The family knows i VERY RARELY agree to having maccas... let alone be the one to suggest it. omg what's happening to me? =PPP anyways, my suggestion made the baby sister happy, which only made me happier, so yeah, guess things just work 'emselves out ya? haha.

[oh gawd, re-reading what i just wrote... making absolutely little sense! not that i care. im too happy to care. i am weird like that sometimes. crazy moods *roll eyes]

The Boy is finally back home from work after having been away for over a month. And to say i'm happy that he's set to come visit in another 2 weeks is an understatement. I'm absolutely thrilled!!! Can't wait to see him... a-ha! That's why i've been so happy! HE'S COMING! yay *dancing round the room like a deliriously happy girly.

abrupt end to my random happy post :ppp

*tunes back to watching silly happy taiwanese entertainment programmes on telly.

I HATE THE BLARDY MRTS

the sister and the girlfriends know how well i HATE [H.A.T.E. HATE!!!] taking the train, especially in the mornings.
the girls often get my very angry sms-es in the morning declaring my annoyance/anger (depending on my mood that day) at
the train that's late, the fat-ass who's pretending to sleep and refuse to give up his/her seat to the pregnant woman, the idiots who push their way onto the trains every morning even when after the platform attendants (or whatever those peeps in the ugly red uniforms are called) have told them to "please wait for the next train", the tmd well-dressed Shenton Way/Raffles Place/banker-looking (no offence to my banker friends but wtf im plain annoyed now so i don't care lah) type of men (MEN ok? MEN!!! wtf) who push their way past others to empty seats, the trains that are supposed to be air-conditioned but blardaaaaay hell are just plain HOT AND STUFFY (wtf!!!), the trains that seem to be foreva packed, the incosiderate people who can't seem to understand what it means to let passengers ALIGHT first, before boarding...
honestly i could go on and ON!!! and while i do know that a good bulk of my annoyance comes from the PEOPLE who take the trains, there's the other bit that comes from the fact that the trains (and the system) just aint that good! [think: hot, stuffy cabins. frequency of trains...]
the sister and i waited a good five, FIVE (OMG!!!) trains yesterday before we managed to get onto an eastbound train to work. that was a good 20 minutes spent just standing on the blardy crowded platform WAITING!
and to think they keep increasing fares and shite. wtf do they do with our money???
gawd i pray darling moves here soon and we can get a car in future. not that i can drive (hurhur). but i take comfort in the fact that he can =)

lOneliNeSs

the fever/flu/cough meds helped me get to sleep the past few nights... but tonight it doesn't seem to be working.

it's way past bedtime but i just can't go to sleep.

lost.

lonely.

empty.

that's what i feel now.

some "things" just don't feel right.

i wish i knew what exactly...

can't go on tossing and turning in bed night after night now, can i?

not helping me get through the days at work in any way...

dear God, please help me understand and prepare (and accept) what's to come next.

oH if oNLY i were hOme for a diFFerEnt reAsoN.

home at 3:30pm on a thursday arvo...
and sick :(
pooh!!

diStuRbiNG...

am not sure what's worst:

their not giving two hoots on what's happening around the World, or the fact that they just don't care enough to find out;

them having a poor command of the English Language, or them thinking nothing of using Singlish, anytime, anywhere;

the fact that they have such limited general knowledge, or their indifference to knowing and learning......

.........

i may be reading too much into these, but sometimes i really can't help but wonder if i'm mixing with the right people.

there was mum's birthday dinner at baa baa black sheep.

the one where we sat down to yummy naans and curries, fish 'n' chips, hoegaardens and asahis, and were happily eating away, when the rains came in a flash, and had us all jumping up, grabbing our plates of food and joining the crowds of peeps rushing indoors to continue munching and drinking away. heehee!!

there was Jayne's very belated bday evening out @ Sun with Moon (Wheelock).

once again i was teased heaps... this time bcos of my sua-ku-ness =PPP

of not having been around Ion properly since its' opening, not having been to our choice of dining venue that evening, not wanting to have to "rough it out" while our hols' [we were trying to decide on a place to go visit tgt in 2010]...
