my 1-time-self-shot success... :D
a group photo of us with the poster
we went in just in time(8.35+), they were going to start dy.. when we sat, the orchestrians were just about to go to their places.. the beginning of the musical was nice,in the middle of the 1st half of the show, we had rain effects.. hehe.. seriously, we were looking at each other in d line as if to ask 'did you feel that?' silently.. den when there was an intermission.. we were talking to each other about the rain drops.. mr. beh suggested we use the umbrella we brought along in the theater.. open it up.. and sit there.. when ppl think where r we from and all, we say "Helpla! Sunwayla!" haha.. but at the end of the show, there really was 'rain' on the stage.. it's to show that it rained when Dr. Ismail died.. I wonder if the story is based on facts.. its weird that he could get his wife pregnant at such an old age(well, he looked old).. and that he had a very flirtatious lover from aussie in the 1940's... haha.. interesting.. this will definitely not be the last play I'll go to.. will go to more when i have friends and ,money to accompany...
thurs, we had to hand up the proposal for 48 hours challenge and it took us 1 whole day.. first it was getting it done, den signed by members of the committee, den it was sending it to DSA officer, Mr. Chiang(din know how to spell mr anthony's full name, so just continued with mr. chiang.. den mr chiang say this cannot, that cannot drove back to PF, got every mistake corrected, signed by mr. beh, by us etc. send to mr. anthony, den we went into the torture room.. where we had to sit for almost an hour listening to crap b4 'she' told us to correct this.. cannot approve.. she was crapping so much about things exco members should know and i'm there listening(i'm not exco member, i'm organizing secretary) jean was super fired-up, coz' morning till early evening (about 4pm) tak makan.. me oso.. and i can't believe i lived on candy for the whole day until i ate at about 5 something... den mr. anthony told us about a talk near our campus.. so we agreed to go.. after sending Chi Yee to lrt, me n jean went to KFC and makan puas-puas... after that, friday she wasn't in, so no point to correct the proposal...
den on friday, 29th me, jean n CY, went to a talk by Wing Shya.. a renown photographer from Hong Kong who's worked with Wong Kar Wai, one of the top directors in HK whose works include 2046, and In The Mood For Love...he was there to talk to us about his experience and style and content.. we got reservations for this coz' Mr. Anthony, our DSA officer for Film Club invited us to go.. so many photogs+designers there but 3 sesat broadcasters.. haha.. the whole talk was in cantonese.. luckily i understood it.. after the talk, about 11... we went to Murni to makan.. 1st time bring Chi Yee go, Jean second/third time liao.. eat until 12 something, send them 2 back to PG, den chiow-ed back home and slept...
on sunday, went to malacca in d afternoon to go to my uncle(father's blood-cousin)'s wedding.. 1st, my bro came to pick me at 2, den we went to my distance-cousin's place to pick my aunt, den we went on the road to malacca via north-south highway.. we went south, of course.. bro drove fast as he always does.. we stopped for a re-fuel and lunch( bro n i at mcd) before entering the toll.. father n aunt talked non-stop for about 3 hours.. we took so long coz' of the soldiers going back from the parade were hogging the fast lane... they were going so slow, putting their hazard lights on and going on the fast lane.. no common sense one.. den, we went to my cousin's tofu factory for a visit... met up with my 'niece+nephews' who call me by my name actually.. hahaha coz' they're older than me.. by about 10+ years.. so u can imagine how old my 'cousin' is... she's even older than my mum... haha.. but still according to family history, they should call me aunt, but hey.. i follow the western way.. whoever's older will have the respect.. haha.. my 'nephew' called me aunty 5 in a jokingly manner, which refers to my mum.. which i despise.. it makes me so old... but they were talking about how my mum looks young and not me looking old and that i've put on weight etc. den we ate fresh fried toufu... with nothing.. it tastes so nice.. i ta-pao-ed a bit and a bit of toufu-pok home.. slightly pass 6, we went to my father's another cousin's place... near the dinner place... chat for a while, den we went to the restaurant.. food was up-to-par, the smallest wedding dinner i've been to.. only 11 tables, but i like it this way.. small but all family.. met up with some people i've never met who claimed "you've grown up so much and look so much like your mum", and some people i think i've met, but cannot recall.. haha.. that's the thing with meeting with distance family members... after food, about 9.45pm, the ceremony ended.. we started our journey back at about 10. reach KL about 11.45pm.. well, with my bro's driving and the clear night highways, it's no wonder that he could get back in KL so fast la.. i reached home about 12.30.. changed, talk to mum for a while, den hit-the-sack...
monday was replacement holiday, went to mid v with mum and aunty sucy, shopped a while, at 2pm went to amarin in MidV for lunch.. food was spectacular... maybe i've never eaten thai for a while so it explains why i ate about 3 bowls of rice... we had, green curry, fried platter for appetizer, beancurd and basil leaves, and deepfried cat fish with mango salad.. had the red ruby(water chestnut and nangka in coconut milk) and chendol for desert.. the chendol there uses real gula melaka and it's very tasty... the bill came up to 100 bucks.. but very satisfying and filling nonetheless...
tues, we came about 10 to finish correcting the proposal and get it done with.. after mr. beh sign, we signed etc. we sent it to her again.. this time, with mr. beh.. surprisingly, this time she talk much littler compared to the other day, but she still crapped.. she appreciated that mr. beh took the time to come to see her... everything finished at almost 12... den mr. beh brought us to lunch.. his treat.. :D at 1st, he wanted to go my elephant, but it was under renovation, only open for dinners that day.. den we wanted to go to the 100 dishes malay corner to try out.. but bulan puasa.. so 'so heng'... in d end, we went to the 17 market.. the one with a 'toilet-like' building.. to have our simple lunch, called kuey tiao forgot to ask the lady to not put the clams in.. so had a big spoonful of it wasted.. at first, we thought we'd pay for ourselves, den mr. beh said it's his treat, so we thanked him.. den we went back to PC, bid our goodbyes and thank yous den we left for MidV... haha... study week, but still can go midv.. walked a bit, drank san francisco coffee, walked somemore, shopped a bit, and ate a bit.. Chi Yee don't like animals, so she went to her california fitness gym instead... den we went pet's wonderland for a while, mum called to pick her up.. den headed back to PJ... i'm sorta lucky coz' everytime i go to shopping complexes.. i don't tend to get caught in the traffic jam side of the road... hehe.. on the way back on jalan university, i was following jean's father's car, which was supposed to pick her.. so when her dad stopped, i stopped behind him, she got down, i went to pick my mum, we went for Sri Paandi and headed home.. watched tv till 1 something, den died on the bed (not literally).. :D
wed, this morning, i woke up, washed up, and brought my car to wash.. MYSELF that is.. washed and waxed it for a full 2 hours.. 1st round is washing with car detergent and all.. the tyres were the parts i paid most attention to.. den rinsing with water, i wiped it dry, den started to wax it.. my 1st successful time waxing.. the real 1st was a disaster.. in the end, i went around the car for about 10-15 times.. after everything.. my 'dear' looks so shiny now.. only to come back to find out that my mum wants to use the car.. the whole day!!! so much effort for nothing? i hope not, let's wait until my mum comes back with the car...
until then, this is jOyCe signing out at 6.I7 p.m. , 3rd September 2008
