A post that was meant to be published in January
Like I said previously, this was my unpublished post from last month. Can't remember why I didn't end up posting this but oh wells.

I think this is one of the rare times when I'm blogging in the day, 12:16PM, to be exact. Haha that's cause I've no school today! :D So anyways, I've been busy and a little lazy to blog so this post is probably gonna be long. haha.
13 Jan
If I remembered correctly, we had steamboat today! I spent my afternoon watching movies at Josh's place and we had dinner with his sis and her boyfriend in town :)
Headed to Di En's place to chill after dinner, luckily we went force fed with more satays but we had kinder joy instead! which was fine by me! hahaha and look at them and the toys. Baby cooked noodles for Di En and BG before we started watching some movie. I can't remember what was it but it starred Chow Yun Fatt. hahaha. yups. Pretty chill night.
16 Jan
It was the first time Ally experienced my driving today. hahaha. I picked Ally up from home after work and we drove to Upper Thomson for supper. Yeah, it was great spending cuzzy time together :) Had mengs and after which, I needed something sweet so we walked over to the prata stall for Milo Godzilla! Damn shiok, I tell you. I never knew there was such a thing until I saw Tan Kheng Hua on TV @ Josh's place a few days ago learning how to make it. omggg. HEE :D
So anyways, I've been really busy with work last week and, it was by far the craziest week I had since working in MBS. Jersey Boys' curtain call was just last Sunday and you know how people are like, rushing at the last minute to catch the show when it's in its final week. So basically, it was full house every night and the theatres even had time to hold Grandmaster's movie premiere on one of the nights. Yup.
A few of us ushers' goal of the week was to meet the cast of Jersey Boys. hahaha. It's the first time I worked for a resident show throughout its run here. And I know it's kinda weird, but somehow after working for it like, two, three days every week, you tend to feel a lil 'attached' to the show? Does this make sense? hahaha. It comes to a point where ushers start singing the songs before the show, along the theatre hallways, in the toilet and we can even remember their dialogue!
Honestly, I didn't like Jersey Boys when I first watched it; I didn't even know Franki Valli was a real person! But yup, the more I watched it, the more it grew on me. And so last Tuesday night, Melissa, Faraha & I made a spontaneous decision to wait at the backstage door.
Melissa!
Kenneth Meyer (aka Bob Gaudio)
He's effing tall.
Emmanuel Castis (aka Nick Massi)
the funniest of the lot.
Daniel Buys! (aka Tommy DeVito)
He's the hearthrob of the show. haha.
Grant Almirall (aka FRANKI VALLI)
The main star of the show!
Mel & her fave Jersey Boy. haha.
Tired but happy :)
Tuesday was supposed to be the last day I work for the show but I decided to pick up one last shift for JB last Friday and I'm glad I did :) A pity it didn't run til 17 Feb as it was supposed to but it was a musical to remember.
Ces soirées-là.

Haha been extremely lazy to blog. Wrote a post a month ago but I haven't posted so I'll post that the next time. Buuut, I'm just gonna spam photos of my 22nd for nowww! :D
Happy birthday to me!
So Joanne & Bry decided to count down to my birthday. hahaha. Bry was practically just on the guitar the whole time singing songs from Desperado to some Phantom of the Opera and Joanne just kept screaming at him to stop singing songs we don't know. We only knew 3 songs he sang -.-
Of course, we had mild alcohol to accompany us. Cider was our new favourite.
And my silly bestfriend's being annoying by rubbing it in that I'm 22.
22 and still young okayyy.
My mummy, daddy, lil bro and my boyfriend at my birthday dinner at Carousel :)
Thank you, daddy & mummy for bringing me to one of my fave restaurants :)
Thanks Dwayne, for the neon yellow dress from F21 :) :)
And of course, my boyfriend who loves to pinch my fats,
Meant a lot that you came along, baby. It meant a lot. Mwa.
and for the days that followed :)
Day 2 of birthday celebrations! The CRMCC family.
They were the ones who kept me sane (& sometimes insane) when we were cooped up in the call centre during our TEP days in NYP for almost 8 hours for 3 months!
We totally went ANTM crazy during the days without data to call. Think we watched almost all the cycles, spent time laughing at models stumbling and falling off runways on Youtube, and did the never ending quiz. It was really called the 'never ending quiz'.
The 8-inch candle was super cute. hahaha.
Headed to CHIJMES for a drink each :)
Thank you, girls :)
...I'm still waiting for Jam to post the photo of the IJ bunch and their surprise for me at Arab Street. but they truly did a good job of surprising me that night. I kiiinda suspected (hehe!) cause every year my birthday falls around CNY and every time they'll use a reunion dinner as an excuse. hahaha. But, I truly appreciated & loved every effort and thought put into planning the surprise for me :) Jam ended up scolding me when I claimed it was weird if it was just 2 of us having reunion dinner together. hahaha. THANK YOU GEN, NIC, JAM & ALLY :) love y'all.
Think I'm going to bed soon. I just spent my evening watching HIMYM & American Idol... and then Brave and Jungle Book with Joanne! Hahahaha. okay night night :D
