HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNISE!
sunday's gym was quite good.
but i took 20 minutes to run 2.4km on the treadmill.
aaah my fitness level is dropping.
after that we went marina square to eat after starving the whole afternoon.
and i stupidly went to bet with yy about the name of the shop.
now i owe her the next gym entry.
昨天新书抵达门口，忙了一个上午的internet，一个中午的
家务，终于在晚上阅读了它。
《太阳溶化了他那双蜡造的翅膀》。
我是因为封面取用了ah mi的照片而买的，老实讲。
花了两个钟头多，把它读完了。
当我从书中明白书名的典故后，就已经差不多知道会有怎样的
结局。
女主角确实有点ah mi的影子，但男主角却一点也不像郑伊健。
在我的想象中，男主角比较像个男孩。
既然应该不会有人像我一样，买了这本书，那我可以放心地说：
这个故事是个悲剧。
不过，故事胜在作者写得好。
就算结局有多么在预料之内，她还是写得感人。
听过李敏写的歌词，这是第一次读她写的故事。
its quite sad that the news travel faster at night, especially when now i dont go online at night.
the internet saved me.
i cant and dont dare to imagine what would become of me if i dont have access to the internet today and tomorrow.
but its good that some things have to happen in the day.
ive been going around in circles because i want to keep it hush-hush.
if you know, you know.
if you dont, you will know tomorrow.
if you know, you dont have to tell me, because i know.
tomorrow is a 3-in-1 day: mariane's birthday, mahjong day, and hush-hush day.
im excited.
too excited that im complaining that today is passing by too slowly.
and i am to make sure i wake up at 8am tomorrow to warm up the internet, and dont fall asleep while waiting.
to end off, i say, "im excited!!!"
前天，当我身在热闹拥挤的bugis street，仿佛觉得已经
跳越时空，回到去年在香港you know where的情景，像是
很自然地，而处在这种到处是便宜货的地方，我自然地有
股狂购物的冲动。
幸而，我只买了一件t-shirt。
okay, time for english.
went to watch the simpsons movie yesterday with gujie.
it was nice! we stayed all the way to the end and caught maggie saying "sequel".
after having dinner with my grandparents, we went toa payoh to shop.
the show mi boxset is selling for SGD88.95 at cd-rama. grrr. cheaper than everywhere by 95 cents.
gujie was appalled by the price of the boxset, and was surprised i have it so quickly.
luckily i didnt tell her i have TWO boxsets.
when i was browsing through the anita mui book on popular, i chanced upon 《骨感天后郑秀文》, and i was hesitating to buy it.
because 1) the china fans said the alignment and stuffs are terrible, as it is a ykw production, and 2) ive already compiled my own version of the book with all mi's articles from mantown.
but because it's rare that i actually found it, and also because it's cheap, i bought it.
i usually type in english when im pissed.
after reading the first third of the book, i was utterly pissed!!!
越读越生气!!!
the first half of the book is written by... let me check. okay its written by 龙翔, self-claimed to be from the music industry.
the first half is a description of ah mi and her works and her life story. and the second half is the true blue short articles that ah mi wrote herself, all of them ive read before when i was compiling my own version from mantown. wahlao, i read until i boiled.
so many factual mistakes!! i cant be bothered to list out every mistake, otherwise it would take up all my space here. song names wrong, movie soundtracks wrong, spelling errors, and the song descriptions are frigging wrong. as a book publisher, its ethically WRONG to not triple check your facts before you print it out, and especially when you intend to release it to other countries. especially when you write about a celebrity, usually only the fans would buy the book, and if the fans can point out thousands of factual errors, then the publisher and author can exchange roles with the fans.
真係激到我扎扎跳!
second problem: the alignment and formatting. im particularly fussy about the formatting in formal situations, like when there's supposed to be a space in between a word and ("), then there's got to be one coz it looks hedious with terrible formatting. and it reflects badly on the publisher, and it indirectly affects ah mi. then there's the inconsistency in puctuations. argh.
last but certainly not the least, the pictures. the pictures are nice and pretty, yes, because the pictures are all of ah mi. but it's so unprofessional to leave the source of the pictures ON the pictures, with half the website name cropped off. and oh. my. goodness. the wuyen movie poster is in thai. hello?!?! you cant find a movie poster that is in chinese?!?!
im super irritated by this book. it's no wonder even the china fans are dissing this book. it's all the lousified author and publisher's fault. i shall only read the parts that are written by ah mi.
uber annoyed by the book and have been taking so long typing my complaints here that im so going to be late for gym later.
great. now it rains. =(
Thursday, July 26, 2007, 12:49 p.m.HAPPY BELATED 21st BIRTHDAY EILEEN!
it was yesterday but i didnt come online. plus i sms-ed her so i wasnt late. haha.
i had written stuffs down but im lazy to refer back so i'll just type a brief entry here.
monday:
went to kino but didnt buy any books!
i eyed a few but couldnt make a decision.
then when i went back to choose the book, i forgot which ones i wanted.
went for yy's birthday buffet at sakae.
our table was eating non-stop.
at the end of it, i practically gobbled down half a whole watermelon.
tuesday:
finally did some housework coz sailo wasnt home.
then went to mediacorp to work.
in the previous post, i said i'd probably not finish until it was 12am.
i did better this time; i finished at 11pm.
haha but if i went for dinner i would finish at 12am.
so after work i gulped down the few slices of bread that i brought there in case i dont have time for dinner.
wednesday:
vacuumed the floor, but it became dirty again after that.
so i was quite annoyed.
nothing much yesterday.
today:
鄭秀文Show Mi 2007演唱會(2CD+DVD)(珍藏版) is out for pre-order from yesasia!
the release date is 3rd august which is next week, but dont know when it will be sold in singapore.
yay! i want to buyyy.
i just bought a book online.
im spending so as to get the 3 dollars back from paypal.
i just pressed a wrong button and now ive lost 89 cents.
yay my favourite mahjong session on wednesday.
hahaha.
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY YIMYIU!
昨天笔录了心情，现在想放上来。
当然，这是cut过的版本，uncut的是不会在这里出现的。
“返归路上，望着雨点轻落在巴士窗上，各自沿着自己的道
路，奔向玻璃的尾端。
像人们走着不同的方向，但最终结果会一样。
雨点有些交叉，有些直落，有些弯曲而行，有些则和其他
雨点融为一个大雨点。
但有些雨点，根本没有机会依靠玻璃窗而生存。
想着想着，眼眶两度盛满了泪水。”
待会儿，会去kino找些书买，之后去阿尧的生日不肥吃个痛快。
对于明晚的cna工作，有点迟疑。
以自己transcribe的速度来看，若4点开始，没有到12点是
做不完的。
看完《布袋和尚》了，现在重看《妙手仁心》。
没有自己的电脑，确实不方便了很多。
用着一台internet随时会中断的电脑，百般无奈。
每次有着大大地整理家里的念头，却常被次次pon课的细佬碍事。
他在家，使得自己无法尽情整理。
真讨厌。他在家，也霸占了看电视的时间。
昨晚笔录的后记：
“不知是否自己敏感，仿佛洗也洗不掉那阵气球塑料的味
道。以后势必不吹气球了。那种气味真臭。”
two days ago, the computer guy came to check, and said my hard disk is failing.
"末期癌症", that was what he said.
i quickly transferred my files into sailo's external hard disk.
so now i use papa's computer in the day, and watch tv, vcds and read books at night.
my lifestyle is slightly changed because of a spoilt computer.
wanted to buy new books yesterday but was lazy to leave the house early.
im probably not writing about the past few days.
either its the same every day, or im past the mood to write about previous events.
if i feel like it next time, i might.
but since now im borrowing papa's computer, it feels awkward.
plus my photos arent here so never mind.
some countdown since i have nothing to do:
3 days to eileen's chalet.
4 days to yy's birthday.
6 days to eileen's birthday.
1 week to the simpsons movie.
1 week + 1 day to two years in the new house.
1 week + 5 days to kennise's birthday.
1 week + 6 days to mariane's birthday.
2 weeks + 4 days to school reopens.
3 weeks to national day.
3 weeks + 2 days to something i wont say.
4 weeks + 3 days (one month) to ah mi's birthday.
4 weeks + 4 days to mummy's birthday.
5 weeks + 4 days to laozhao's birthday.
okay thats about it.
i skipped a few birthdays coz no point listing them out even though i remember.
im pissed with the person who promised to buy my show mi cd, and also pissed with the person who bought magazine from auctions.
they never reply my emails.
grrrr.
Monday, July 16, 2007, 01:55 p.m.
hi everyone.
my computer went crazy on the night of friday the 13th.
i have no idea what went wrong, but ive been unavailable to find the repairman yet.
saturday there was jonathan-gor's wedding.
sunday papa wasnt home.
today i have to go down to mediacorp again to finish my work.
hopefully tomorrow the repairman can come.
and hopefully my stuffs in the computer are safe.
so now im using papa's computer in the day.
and i get bored at night coz i have no new books to read.
everything's just crammed up this weekend.
seriously, EVERYTHING.
hopefully mediacorp does not want me back this weekend.
i'll go nuts.
haiz.
Thursday, July 12, 2007, 11:01 p.m.前晚看了文芳旧时的照片。
心血来潮，昨天抽出《星锁》的录像带。
不难找，因为前天刚刚收拾一整箱的录像带。
又开始发闷了。
也许最近甚为无聊，会胡思乱想。
昨晚还感到彷徨。
有种迷失方向的感觉。
不知为什么，脑海里浮现异样的念头。
非常害怕。
幸好，有个护身符的陪伴。
相信这种异样的感觉会快快消失。
望着它，好平静。
握着它，好安全。
结果昨晚，手里握着它入睡。
谢谢你。
是时候找些东西做了。
找到了!
我刚才想起要找andox的资料，点知给我找到andox妈妈的blog!
正确来讲不是blog，而是他的网页。
我读了读，andox好可爱啊!
嘿嘿，又多了我钟意的艺人的文章读了。
andox的部分像是个漫画故事。
yay!
andox是一只傻傻的小牛，它妈妈是个男人，而且是个天王巨星。
不说你不知，
andox是它妈妈在拍戏空档时，一针一线亲手缝制出来的。
因为它很趣致，加上矜贵的出生，很快就像它妈妈一样红。
它的塑胶复制品，在台湾限量发售300套，结果一个钟头内被扫清。
andox的妈妈- 華仔。
明天势必去租看《布袋和尚》或《金牌冰人》。
想看些古装港剧。
my paypal account has been restored. yay.
yesterday went for dinner with shisanyi, yy, boon, tracey and cui.
thank you shisanyi for the slippers and clothes peg. =)
today i arranged my stuff.
took out more magazines to sort.
realised i have a heap of tapes.
i can only wait till school reopens to window dub my tapes.
cui said she cant see my blog.
shisanyi said she can.
and now more people are unable to see it.
我的天啊。
i can see it perfectly fine so i wont know how to solve the problem.
doesnt seem to be pitas' fault either.
must be singtel. argh.
realised i have a few photos at yahoo photos.
apparently i forgot about its existence.
speaking of photos, i was saving the las vegas photos from a mifan's album, then all of a sudden the page was gone.
grrr.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!
《Show Mi鄭秀文Las Vegas演唱會2007》
was afraid to be late today.
so i woke up at 930am, left the house at 1130am, and reached there at 1245pm.
i watched doraemon immediately after waking up.
so anyway i made my way there without taking a cab.
the hill that i thought wasnt actually a hill; it was just a slope.
if you happen to not know what CNA is, it stands for channel newsasia.
meaning i worked at mediacorp today.
hahaha.
i reached early so i sat around at the reception, waiting for lin to arrive.
she came and led me in.
seriously, if i were to be left alone there i would probably lose my way.
upon hearing that i havent had lunch, she brought me to the canteen to buy food to eat while working.
and she paid for my food.
=)
she brought me on a tiny tour around the area, which i have been to during the spectrum trip.
so i started the transcribing at about 130pm.
i had 4 tapes to transcribe: one was 40 minutes while the rest were about 4 minutes each, and was told to start with the long one first.
from 130pm to 5pm, i only completed 33 minutes of the first tape.
i could have completed all four tapes if i stayed till 6pm, but lin had to go off at 5pm so i couldnt finish my task.
so sad.
transcribing was okay; the interview i transcribed was quite interesting.
but i was so busy typing away that my food was left untouched.
i didnt even have time to take photos of the work area or even my pass.
anyway, it was quite fun an experience to work there, even just for one day.
didnt see any artistes today, unless you count the newsanchors for CNA or you count lin.
the house is filthy again so im going to vacuum it again.
show mi in las vegas was held this morning.
the photos are similar to the toronto concert, so im not posting.
HAPPY BELATED 21st BIRTHDAY ZONGXIANG!
it was supposedly yesterday but i didnt feel like blogging.
but i've sms-ed him yesterday.
we are a week apart! haha.
realised that there was a piece of meiheng news on my birthday.
but now its unretrievable coz im not a member of the newspage.
anyway today's news is not considered news.
it was about meiheng buying coffee.
there's a photo too but im not posting it up.
my neighbour visited us around 845pm with her granddaughter.
the toddler is ultimately adorable!
cute cute cute.
no photos coz her grandmother was there and i was embarrassed to take photos.
really. super cute. =)
next week is cousin jonathan's wedding and i dont have a formal dress.
ive worn my only prom dress to so many cousins' weddings that i feel weird wearing the same dress again.
got to shop for a new but cheap and nice one.
tu sms-ed me if i was interested in working for one day at CNA this weekend.
i said yes twice without hesitation.
thought it would be tomorrow but they called and said it was on sunday.
means i cant go gym with yy and mq on sunday. =(
but im quite excited about my one-day stint at CNA.
im supposed to transcribe tapes.
hopefully i wont take so long to transcribe, coz i havent done that since 105.
promised geraldine to go for her performance.
but im quite apprehensive about the after-performance stuffs.
saw the east asia compiation album in music junction today.
im surprised that cd-rama doesnt sell it.
cd-rama is gradually declining ever since the intrusion of parallel imports from ykw, and cd-rama only sells the original stuffs.
vic-zeh said the show mi CD will be out this month!
hopefully it gets here around next month, since it took a month for the compilation to reach here too.
yay. =)
四天没写东西了。
因为实在没什么好写的。
我平时在家，不是做家务，就是上网，看电视。
有时也会觉得闷。
现在勉强写下这几天内我觉得值得记下的事情：
星期天。七月一日。
香港回归中国十周年。
晚上TVBJ有现场直播的烟花盛会。
烟花好美丽啊。
不过之后的歌唱表演就真的不怎么样。
可以说，比星期六的那场更无聊。
所以除了烟花，这天没什么好写的。
星期一。七月二日。
好久没有扫地了。
（好久=几天）
索性开始清理我的家。
却又懒得用我家那把用到烂掉的畚箕。
所以，登登登登!
吸尘机出场了。
我家的Philips黄色吸尘机，又小又可爱又好用。
只是我平时懒得安装它。
以后该改用它了。
扫把畚箕可以荣誉地退休。
星期二。七月三日。
闷闷地。看了《无间道》。
昨晚睡前阅读了i周刊，所以今早梦到文芳。
而且还是故事性的梦，不是乱七八糟的那种。
最奇妙的是，听了个电话后又再回去睡，那个故事竟然可以继续。
现在有上班的朋友，请不要因为我能睡到午后这么享受而打我。
特别给十三姨：欢迎回来新加坡!!
星期三。七月四日。今天。
昨晚睡前重读了一篇一年前的fanfic，所以今早梦到美珩。
又是一个故事性的梦!
做完例行家务后，已经汗流浃背。
干脆到楼下跑几圈。
从楼下跑到地铁站。
平时若用走的，需要十分钟。
结果...
我从楼下跑到地铁站，却已经开始喘到不行了。
回程只好用走的。
又爬十层楼梯到门口。
哇! 差点挂了。
这次的经验，让我知道，不可以在下午4点多跑步。
也不要逞强，累到要垮了就应该搭电梯。
现在的我，悠哉坐在电脑前写东西。
旁边风扇拼命为我解热。
但我还是不断地流汗。
手脚都湿了。
最近的我却偏偏超爱喝温热的水。
热开水万岁。哈哈。
看了《鲁豫有约》（上集）鄭秀文的专访。
访问是在香港《景福Show Mi鄭秀文2007演唱會》后做的。
超好看。
让我更了解mi。
可怜的她，家里的窗帘完全不能打开。
一打开就很危险，狗仔队立刻开工。
我觉得这两个月在放假的我，挺像两年前放假时的mi。
好些日子真的很纳闷。
又常常用文字来寄情。
也不管写的东西别人会不会看得懂。
只要自己明白就好。
而且，访问当中mi讲了很多次“习惯了。”
看看我前两个月的entries就不难发现我写了好多“习惯”。
真的，很多事情，做久了，便习惯。
很多感受，若时常有，不管好坏，也会慢慢习惯。
原本今天也没什么好写的，就因为看了这个访问才有灵感。
哇，好热啊今日。
----------
依稀记得我曾经写过一篇“习惯”的文章。
回看上个月的entries, 才发现我原来没有把它发上来。
唔好意思。
不过我确实曾经用了很多“习惯”。
在这里发一发我当时废掉的文章中的几句。
其他的，我不想放上来。
废掉它是有原因的。
anyway, 那时的我写道:
习惯可以改变一切。
习惯了难过，所以会特别珍惜开心的时刻。
习惯了流泪，所以会特别回忆微笑的霎那。
当时最贴实的感受。
现在依然觉得如此。
