I was up and awake since 7a.m. today, despite having gone to bed at nearly 1a.m.. Yesterday was my birthday! Thanks to everyone who remembered, for your well-wishes via calls, smses, Friendster comments and emails. My students from 2E2 actually bought me a cake from Bread Talk. It had a sticky, chewy outer layer of THICK DARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE (-drool-) and an inner layer of whipped cream and fluffy chocolate sponge. Mmmmmm. I had 2 slices and shared it with the people in my staffroom. Later in the day, a few more students from another class knocked on the staffroom door: "We want to wish Miss Ong Happy Birthday!" It was kinda embarrassing, buy nevertheless a sweet gesture. :-) Of course, Pearlyn's birthday won't be Pearlyn's birthday without a shopping trip right? Okay, shopping TRIPS to be exact. Mummy's wallet has lost a lot of weight with the numerous "Birthday Shopping Trips"...there's only supposed to be one, really. :-p
Went to watch Tuan onstage in his SMU drama production, titled "Lao Jiu" or "9th Born" in Mandarin. Okay, must help to promote abit:
"Written by the late Kuo Pao Kun, "Lao Jiu mirrors the struggles between pragmatic materialism and the pursuit of artistic excellence. It revolves around the youngest 9th child and the only male descendant in a Chinese family. You Wei, better known as Lao Jiu, is expected to shoulder his family's expectation of a 17-year-old -- excellence in studies; and honour to the family. On the brink of receiving a prestigious scholarship, Lao Jiu discovers the dying craft of puppetry and the excitement that it brings him...." (taken from the synopsis page of their programme booklet)
Not a bad production, with some hilarious moments and excellent actors. Mr "8th sister's boyfriend/ puppet" didn't do too bad, but he looked like he was trying hard not to laugh during the first bit :p! This made Tiang Lim started to snigger next to me. We also spotted this guy in the cast who looks ALOT like Adrian Pang the actor, facial expressions and all.
Four of The Girls/Horny Ladies left for Hong Kong the day before yesterday. I miss them...booo. I finally pierced my ears, something I wanted to do since sec 4! I was super excited after I was done, so I smsed Yoggi, Angie and Cheewy. "I finally pierced my ears! Not very pain! HAHA! Now you all can buy me earrings. :p"
Their replies: Angela: You Loser. You lost to Janice. Wei Yen: Haha finally pearl! You still lost to Jan. Yoggi: Finally. I'm not going to be mean like them and say that you lost to Jan. ' ' ' ' You can imagine my reaction right? It turned out that they were all together during that time doing some planning for their trip. -_-"
Going to lunch with Ozy later. It's gonna be quite a fun week ahead, with the return of Han, Yoggi, Angie and Cheewy from HK on Tuesday, and Tuan joining me at work on Monday. I'm a happy, happy girl.
