Updates!


1. met kh on thursday for dinner at imm and shopped around for cards for jie shan. really quite long since i last met up with him! and he looks like he slimmed down too, soooo irritating can, i thought normal people are supposed to put on weight while on industrial attachment or internship! we went to look at all the handicraft materials for jieshan's bdae and i bought so many useless things because of my impatience(not being able to find the exact thing i was looking for and lazily settling for other things). before he finally managed to spot the the flower shaped card that i was desperately trying to find. at popular shop! i am such an idiot. really. why didn't i just be like any normal person and look in the most common place for all kinds of stationaries! y did i think it was such a cool idea to go daiso instead. in the end, i refunded the stuff i bought in exchange for the cards. taught me a lesson --> impatience gets you no where.


2. And today i went to watch the musical, AVENUE Q --> it's awesome! it's sesame street with a twist! sesame street with an NC 16 rating; adult content like homosexuality and nudity. ironic but all the more unique! the cast was amazing, i was a lil' apprehensive in attending the musical intially cause it's a filippino cast but they turned out really good, with fake(or real) american accents. AND the main actor/puppeteer was gorgeous-looking! wahaha.


Trekkie Monster (one of my fave characters) - the monster obsessed with porn.










and one of my fave songs in the musical, "the internet is for porn!" (lolx, i guess i am gross and a super perv.)

KATE :Finally, I get to teach a whole lesson all by myself! And I'm going to teach something relevant! Something modern! The Internet!The internet is really really great!


TREKKIE MONSTER:For porn

KATE: I've got a fast connection so i don't have to wait

TREKKIE: For porn

KATE:What? There's always some new site


TREKKIE:For porn


KATE:I browse all day and night


TREKKIE:For porn


KATE:It's like I'm surfing at the speed of light!


TREKKIE:For porn!


KATE:Trekkie!



Bad Idea Bears - irritating duo/ antagonist who are forever putting bad ideas into the characters' heads

Princeton - the fresh-faced college grad looking for a purpose in life

Rob - the investment banker who's a closet gay (another of my fave character)

i realised i have a soft spot for people with issues.

Kate monster - teaching assistant and Princeton's lover

there's many more characters, like Christmas Eve, the japanese therapist to Rob, and then there's Nicky, the roomie of Rob who happens to be kinda a slacker too.

and...

a new word i learnt.

Schandenfreude!

it's german for happiness at someone else's misery!

i totally get it, i'm sure everyone had a moment of schandenfreude in their lives at some point of times. whether we like to admit it or not. i feel happy knowing that i'm not like the beggars on the street, i feel happy when i don't have as much troubles as people who are depressed, i feel happy when i see someone else injured and it's not me (lolx, actually what am i talking? no i don't, of course i don't feel happy that someone else is injured. it's just an example.)

4. went to CLUB 21 sale at the S'pore Flyer! marni shoes, ck bags, armani exchange, dkny, sass & bide, donna karen! it was a branded good galore! at amazingly cheap prices! 20bucks per top, 80bucks per dress and for very high end brands like marni, the shoes were going for 100-300bucks when they were previously selling for 1000+. and the crowd was just crazy! i practically queued for 40mins? that's just to get into the showroom. the queue at the cashier was just beyond belief. everyone was frantically trying on clothes, desperate to get their hands on all the discounted designer garbs.

3. JIESHAN's 21st BDAE!!! just got back from jieshan's bdae, and it's almost 3a.m now. finally i get to say what we got her, a gorgeous red marc by marc jacobs wallet!! so nice can, my fave fave fave brand of all time! and it doesn't hurt that marc jacob happens to be the hottest and coolest gay on the face of this living and breathing planet earth! but, ahem, that's beside the point. we had the bday celebration at essential brews and the whole scss gang was there, vien, toilet gang, wan ping, kat and all the buncha guys. it was aik siang's bday as well.

clumsy me did another horrible thing that day. i can't stand myself. sometimes. most of the times actually. i accidentally tripped over a vase that was supposed to be given to jieshan as a gift, up till now i am so guilty over it, felt like i practically ruined the whole night. really felt like killing myself there and then. went out to get a box for them to store all the cards and sweets inside. but it's not the same any more. it made me feel like shit (for lack of a better word) the entire night. the lethal combination of lethergy and guilt. not such a good thing. oh well. i just hope that other than me breaking the vase, she had a good time. cause she's such a dear friend and i just want her to have an enjoyable 21st bday...
