it just feels that i have to post sth since its the 29th feb.
out of the 6 leap years that i've been through, i never felt the day so special before. not till i hear class 95 and they keep talking about "The Leap Year" repeatedly.
rarh. my tummy is so warm and fuzzy.
so anyway, here's a post, a complain, and a birthday wish.
happy birthday mess!! :D

dim sum dollies
i watched dim sum dollies today :) and it was a $68 well spent. made me laugh so much, practically fighting with the aunty sitting behind me on who can laugh the loudest. haha. most importantly, it made me forget certain issues.
of course, a nice version of the history of singapore and who we are today.
especially love the Indian talking to his cow, showing him his dance moves
".. and sometimes we hold hands"
but of course, what seem to left a deeper impression was the scene of the Irish missionary sisters and the convent girl and how they broke out in an Irish river dance.
haha.. i felt insulted but amused at the same time. It seems that the stereotyping of convent girls will stay that way forever. and i guess i can't blame for the stereotype.
Was just thinking about the hall's bazaar the other week, when iskandar was psychoing me to buy ear rings where i was at this stall, and i bumped into one of my secondary school class mate, which he was friends with as well. With a bewildered face, he exclaimed how surprised he was that i was a convent girl and refused to believe my alma mater. he even said "how come you didn't "come out" like them?"
i get that question a lot. and i always give a puzzled face: why must i "come out" like them? not that i have any hard feelings against them (i love them very much!), but i still dun get it. is there only 1 look for convent girls?
There goes the same for the behaviour of convent girls as highlited in the play. do convent girls behave the way they are not suppose to? in my convent years, i experienced having friends behaving in that way. and i totally understand where these stereotypes come from.
but i guess it is important for the general public to realise that not all convent girls are like that. majority or minority- there are still some traditional convent girls that benefited from such a missionary type of education.
for one, there still are girls who are not as open as they are to guys regarding certain matters. it is hard for them to bring out to discuss certain issues. and they just tend to avoid it. as liberal as society is nowadays, whats innate cannot be changed. perhaps, over time, gradually, things might change.
but the underlying still remains: there still are traditional convent girls that exist in this day and age.
...and you just have to accept them for who they are.

nice guys come in last
The crazy days are finally over. :) and i'm glad it is!
i remember having this conversation with winnie and lian before, a year or so ago on this floor of this very building i'm in right now. they were singing this chinese song about how girls like bad guys, and not good guys, and they just kept singing and singing it all over again.
and so it started from there, where we started discussing if the statement was true or not.
based on past events that occurred, both nice guys i know seem to have suffered because of their same trait.
and i wonder how this works.
sigh. this is sad.
----
sp full dress rehearsal! :)
worbert = me
yay!

salt
the nearly forgotten wound, rediscovered all of a sudden, had salt poured on it- 1st in a small tea spoon, 2nd the whole bottle.
and then.. scream.
silence.
and u reflect, again.
