OKAY I THINK I SHOULD GET DOWN TO UPDATING.
no more excuses since i'm done with papers some.. 5 days ago. hahaha. okay what have i been up to?
1. watched Phantom of the opera with Joseph, his parents, his sister and sister's boyfriend. (family event, so they call it.)i think i was more impressed with the sets than with the main cast. the lighting, the sets, the sound. able to better appreciate it after being in a production. the amount of work put in was tremendous, and just imagining the sheer elaborate-ness (oh no my english is gone.) is.. WHOA (for lack of a better word.) the sets. IMPRESSIVE is all i can say. and it's exciting having a live orchestra. haha by first. sheesh i think i sound like a country bumpkin.
2. received letter from MICHAEL DUNSTAN FENG.was so so so so happy to receive a letter from him! don't be mistaken, he's just a good friend. sadly, a better one than mark. but oh wells, one cannot be too greedy. so back to the point, he wrote me a letter from australia, perth, and it's in such a michael-style that i couldn't help but smile the whole time i was reading it. being the traditionalist that he is, and the obsession with the "old rite", everything had to be authentic, down to the writing, and the paper. pity i didn't receive my letter via a horseback rider or a dove but via airmail. but then we shouldn't be too greedy aye? (:
3. read jeffrey archer's FALSE IMPRESSIONS.this guy is brilliant i tell you. he's a man for details and often on reflection, you'd find that he actually left clues all over the place to the final story. looks like i'm not cut out to be a detective. heehee. but it's a darn good read, many twists and turns, unexpected, yet expected. i can't explain it to you, except to say, READ IT FOR YOURSELF.
4. shopping with joseph.wednesday was the first time we went to orchard to shop (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! after nearly 4 months together. hahah) it was fun, though i found out that he was the greater shopper between the two of us (not too good news for me). but i really enjoyed myself.
5. shopping with joseph's mum and sister too.thursday we went pants shopping for joseph's work clothes. got his pants from john little's and we ended up at marina square cos his sister wanted to get a dress. we went and his mum ended up getting me a dress too (a formal dress/gown for the phantom).
felt quite paiseh cos the entire day on friday was paid for by his family. and i mean ENTIRE. from my dress that i wore to the production, to the dinner at ichiban esplanade before the dinner, to ice cream at häagen dazs, to drinks at Harry's bar, to my transport home (his mum drove me back). gosh his mum picked me up from King albert park to his place and later on, his maid even ironed out my dress for me! =l
oh wells. this is how being spoilt feels like -> GREAT! =D
okay off to bed now. need to meet joe at 9.45 at clementi tomorrow for him to pick me up to go to church. good night world! i'll be blisfully asleep... soon.
oh yes one more thing. i'm flying off 17th may (next thursday) via emirates EK344 to germany. just so you know. BIG HINT. teeheehee.
