 Another week, another Monday, another work day, another day of stress. Another day of an overload of thoughts, another day of an overload of pressure.

I wish I could take a break, I wish I didn't have to work. I wish I could see the boi face to face and have him tell me the week's going to be alright.

I miss you.

Sunday has almost come to an end, a new week begins with work that was left unfinished. So much work, so little time and no motivation. Tell me what am I supposed to do? I know. WORK.

I'm only halfway through the year and I already feel like I need a break although I had one last month, and I am comparatively less busy than the last year. Bah. Some pampering in line for myself this week, shall go for a nice pedicure just for the sake of making myself happier.

I miss being pampered by the boi.. Sigh.

Ciaoz.

Something happened this week that warrants for a nice entry from me, complete with a picture montage which I have not done in AGES! The last time I did this was when I was still in Perth and actually could spare the time to slowly downsize photos and put them together in a montage. But well, I just had to do it for this, or rather, Mr Mraz! :D

So yes, after the crazy madness at work for the past few weeks, I'm glad I got to unwind and enjoy some extremely good music on Thursday with darling Marie and of course Mr Awesomeness himself, Mr Mraz! Woot!

We went there tired from work, but got into the mood once we got to the indoor stadium and saw the hoards of people. I was pretty excited the day before and the day itself 'cos I it's been a looonnnggg time since I attended a concert and what made it more exciting was it was Jason Mraz!

I was expecting an opening act, but no, he came out straight away and gave a solid performance right from the start all the way to the end which was slightly more than 1.5 hours, WITHOUT HIS VOICE CRACKING A SINGLE BIT! Now that's what I call a pro! He played his guitar, shook his booty, gave funny faces, danced around the stage, teased the crowd and sang his way into every girl's heart I must say, and with a powerful voice that sounded exactly like he does on the CD at that.

Plenty of highlights that night, with different renditions of his hit songs, which were AWESOME by the way. But i must say, the one that took my breath away was when he came out without his guitar and sang Curiosity. Woah! Blew me away with his voice, just his pure voice and that opera singing, just like on the CD. AWESOMENESS! I will never ever miss another chance to hear him sing live again if I can help it!

Anyhoos, some peekatures for you to peek at :)

Would love to share with you his performance, but I only managed to upload one video to Facebook so far (yes, it's him singing Curiosity), have no idea why I can't upload the rest! But well, nothing beats the real thing lah!

Okay enough gushing about Mr Mraz, now onto Mr Humpty! 
If you haven't already seen the ads on the trains, read about it in the papers, or received my e-Flyer, The Living Courthouse is next weekend! Go to the website to find out what's it about if you don't know!

It's the one event that I've been slogging my guts out at work for, traded many hours of rest at home for, become mentally exhausted for and been terribly excited about when the publicity started to go out. It's good to see the hard work pay off and people start to pay attention to it. Quite a number of articles on the event came out on Friday, and after I did some googling yesterday, I found quite a number of random people talking about it on their blogs. So woots! Come say hi if you come visit The Living Courthouse next weekend yah! :)

Oh and yes, if you happen to go to the website, the opening flash animation is done by my wonderful Jojo Teo who's been hard at work doing some very important slides for us. And because her birthday was last week, she deserves special mention and a picture on this entry! Thank you woman! Love you muchos! :)
 

Okay and with that, I end my entry here. It's a long one but I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I had fun writing it. It's been a while since I wrote entries like this, and I do miss writing. Hopefully work will spare me a little more after the event and I'll be able to share more with you folks again on this miserly LJ of mine.

Till then, toodles! :) Off to watch Wong Li Lin in action!

P/S: I finally went running again today because the boi FORCED me to! But I'm glad he did :) I must say he's really been a great support during this crazy period. I love you baby!

I don't know if you guys read the news about this British boy who impregnated a girl and he's only 13, and she 15. Like hello!! What were they thinking and were they that sex crazed? And then there's another article talking about whether this boy is the father 'cos she apparently had sex with another 2 boys, AND HER PARENTS CONSENTED TO HER SLEEPING WITH 1 OF THEM. What are the parents thinking too?? MAD! Seriously. I just cant fathom what else is happening in this world.

Anyhoos, hello! Been very tired recently so this could just be another 1 off entry for a while. I'll try to blog soon again!

Oh and yes, I've been hearing a lot of good news recently from good friends, CONGRATULATIONS!! :)
Makes me feel old ya know, like suddenly so many friends are moving on to the next stage of their lives! Haha. But yes, happiness all around, so it's all good.

Okay, time to call the boi and time to sleep! Ciaoz.

Thank you dear friends for all the well wishes for me Birthday :) I got a pleasant surprise to see email after email of notices from Facebook on my yahoo mail telling me someone posted on my wall. Heh.

Anyhoos, it was a really great birthday spent with the wonderful people from the office and a great dinner with the boi in the evening. And in that span of 1 day I also got 3 presents! Woot! :D

My colleagues got me this!

The Kate Spade Jane St Holly Card Holder, but in Gold (can't find pic of it in gold lah). Preeedddyyyy! :D

And the boi bought me this watch that I've been thinking of getting but didn't.

My limited edition Adidas Candy White Watch! :D

And my 3rd present is a book i wanted from Roald Dahl (Yah lah, relive my childhood can?) that the boi got for me too. Woohoo :D Yes yes I'm a happy girl.

And besides all of the birthday celebrations, another good news is that NIcholas Teo aka 张栋梁张栋 has got a new show out! Woot! 无敌珊宝妹 (Invincible Shan Bao Mei)! More of him to watch. Heh.

Okay and now to end this short entry, let me share with you my favourite poem from Roald Dahl. I remember using this poem for poetry recitation competition in Primary School and I memorised this poem and acted as Red Riding Hood. Hoho, so fun I had a fake gun summore :p

Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf

As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, ``May I come in?''
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
``He's going to eat me up!'' she cried.

And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, ``That's not enough!
I haven't yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!''
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
``I've got to have a second helping!''
Then added with a frightful leer,
``I'm therefore going to wait right here
Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood.''
He quickly put on Grandma's clothes,
(Of course he hadn't eaten those).
He dressed himself in coat and hat.
He put on shoes, and after that
He even brushed and curled his hair,
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair.
In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,

``What great big ears you have, Grandma.''
``All the better to hear you with,'' the Wolf replied.
``What great big eyes you have, Grandma.''
said Little Red Riding Hood.
``All the better to see you with,'' the Wolf replied.

He sat there watching her and smiled.
He thought, I'm going to eat this child.
Compared with her old Grandmamma
She's going to taste like caviar.

Then Little Red Riding Hood said, ``But Grandma,
what a lovely great big furry coat you have on.''

``That's wrong!'' cried Wolf. ``Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway.''
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, ``Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat.''

Roald Dahl, Revolting Rhymes
