events over the past few days
Sun 23 Nov
Truely enjoyed today's hip hop lessons. Even my colleague had the same feeling. The teacher was rather "high" today,after teaching us the dance steps, he suddenly shouted " Let's battle!"
He divided the class into two groups, and join us (the group with more newcomers) and told us not to make him "lose face"
Seems like the teacher like that song -- "Me against the music" by Britney and Madonna so much that he used it from the previous lesson we attended til now.
Now my head is drilling with that song.
Arghhh. I
am against that music. (playing ard with words again)

Mon 24 Nov
Tired.............
Was involved in a big photoshoot. Had to go down to a photostudio to help out with the shoot (chinese new year theme, 3 different looks).
Really didn't expected the shoot to last from morning til 5pm. Well I am not complaining, as It was quite fun to help coordinating the interior shoots. Me & my other colleague liked some of the props borrowed so much that we were tempted to buy them too.
What really impressed us was that the stylist's professionalism-- although she was five months pregnant, she was often walking around, and checking things to make sure they are alright.
Think I better buck up on my sketching. Today I wasn't prepared. As the photographer told us their company had start using the digital camera, we won't have polaroids to refered to when we are writing captions. So , me as a coordinator had to sketch out the setting of each pictures he took.
Oh my god! I can't draw straight lines very well and yet had to draw pics of chairs, tables, glasses.
My colleague was saying my sketches were rather detailed. Phew! At least they knew what I was drawing.
In the evening, another colleague joined out gang for the jazz dance lesson. She also had the same problem we experienced-- too much turning, head became dizzy.

My sis boyfriend came over our house today.
Well, it was actually my mum ( not on taking terms with my sis), asked my brother to ask my sister to ask her friend ( which she knew is her boyfriend) to come and help to look at her ( my mum's) computer.
The old computered was given my aunt, taken from her company which ahd folded down. My mum wanted to upgrade the computer to Win98, install chinese programmes and want to see if can also atatched a scanner and printer.
So my poor sis bf had to come down and do all these, when he still got an exam paper this week.
Boh pian mah, had to try to please the future-mother-in-law.
But my mum didn't acknowledged him. She told my brother to serve the drinks to that "gor gor" (not "sis's bf").
Turned out the computer was a lousy Pentium R. He formated the Win95, but then found that he can't installed Win 98. So he and my sis when to Sin Ming to check out printer and scanner and speaker first, and returned to our house ard 10pm at night and had to took the CPU back to his house to redo.

Wed 26 Nov
Guess my mind is not functioning properly, maybe due to seeing all those Chinese New Year props meant to be featured in our magazine when the rest of Singaporeans are in christmas mood.
This morning, saw a colleague wore a new pretty pink set of bangles. I wanted to ask her " Did you get them from Little India?", but ended up asking her
"Did u get them from CHINATOWN?" instead.
Needless to say, my statement was the joke-of-the-day.......
Another incident really left me wondering if I am lack of self confidence. My colleague (the one who used to work as fashion designer and illustrator) walked past my table and saw my sketches of the interior shoots. She commented that I drew quite well, but upon hearing my response that "my drawing very bad, I can't even draw straight lines.", she said: "Come on lah, be sure of yourself".
I knew she was't the type who lavish hypocritical praises on people as once she said that I am frank and truthful (as I told her which were her works I like and which were those that I don't) unlike those "very fake people" who always say "Oooooh, I like your blah blah blah".
I looked at my sketch, but still find them unsatisfactory. Either I lack of self-confidence, or I expected too much from myself..........
Still can't figure out.

Evening, on the way home, I start tearing again when I thought of "him".......
Maybe some people are so hard-to-forget.

Sis's bf dropped by at night, to settle my mum's computer. Mum was like bullying him. Even after he had bought the chinese programs CD-Rom for her, she asked him if he had any CD-Rom that teaches people to use HanYu PinYin, because she don't know hanyu pinyin to type the chinese characters. Of course his response to her absurb question was "huh?"
Alamak, Ma arh, dun 得寸进尺(de2 cun4 jin4 chi3). People already spent two days doing your computer liao.
She even pretended to come out of the living room and read newspapers when he and my sis were at the living room sorting out her old computer.
Please lah, u think you come out and they won't sit side by side together meh. When they go out, they still can do whatever they like.
Maybe it is a blessing that both my exes don't have to go through this. & It's ironic that both of them majored in IT.....
