Life’s a contradictory constant

Rice Ball was sorta a blast. It was filled to the brim with familiar faces from Man of Letters, and it almost felt like being backstage again. Although there were a couple of cock-ups, Young & Wilders did fine (I hope!). Wish the rest of em were here *pout*

From top:Juds, Rani and the rest of the girls getting made up courtesy of MAC-ers. 4 beautiful babes all saucy and scandalous! The whole Rice Ball gang complete with Jon post-Auntie get up *phweet*  Auds is beginning to feature as a regular on my blog *grin* The costumes, courtesy of Mo & hair, courtesy of Ash. The Young, The Wild & The In-Between!

Hello,

just as a teaser trailer to the upcoming posts:

1) Japanese/Chinese/Korean history (all this from watching a crazy Korean flick)
2) Chinese/Taiwanese/Hongkie culture (and all that from watching too many Stephen Chow flicks)
3) Americans and their “Pro-dramas” (and all those from watching too much late-night Channel 5)
4) Post Rice-Ball Pictures!

Also just random things about how much I love wheat grass drink with 17 fruits inside and rice for that matter. Muahahah.

Later! Tata.

From Top: Me and Auds get dressed up Old-Skool. Grocery shopping with the peeps - my favouritest thing in the world. The "Golden" Kids at the MOL afterparty. Nice picture from a great designer!!

Last two photos: Me with my Ipod Nano! (I wish) and my baby nephew..in his very first assertive-masculinity sleeping position.

"Er….where is Kushinbo arh? Suntec right"

"Yeah I think so leh, which floor ah?"

Silence…

"ORH I KNOW!!"

"KUSHINBO, DONGDONGDONG, SUNTEC TOWER LE-BEL TREE!"

Oh yeah we love Kushinbo alright, all thanks to that genius who invented THAT.

I am feeling restless. Impatient and totally lost. Grr

Well, think about it this way. The less stuff you desire, the less you take away from what you really need. And thats the key to living life in the best possible way. When you are content with what you have, you don’t spend so much time and energy looking over fence desiring the grass on the other side. You have more to give to others, more for yourself, more for what you really need in life - your family, your friends, a nice cup of coffee in the morning and the paper in your hand. These things are more then enough, then say all the nice shoes and great things that you strive like mad to have. Say if you have,

nA = all the things you desire (a nicer skirt, a better boyfriend, nicer house etc it never stops)
5B = all the things you need (You don’t need that many things to survive)

and its divided by

C = all your time, energy and effort (which, mind you, is limited)

means

(nA + 5B)/C = Walau it never is enough lor, this equation can have so many permutations.

You will have too many things dividing your attention - so how on earth do you actually function? You are over stretched because you spent so much time hankering after what you want that you don’t spend enough time enjoying what you have.
Well of course it depends on the priorities you have in life (if you are the power-hungry, money grabbing crazy type sorry this entire thing does not apply to you because you are NOT human) Basically, if you have less numbers to divide C over, the more there is to each part you have. It saves you more time and space, not to mention your sanity.

Sidenote: I finally realize the reason why God invented Maths. He uses it to explain abstract concepts like this to civilized, scientific people like us. He sure thought far *wink*

Well i said that cos I can never spell bloody "diarhorrea" or whatever the hell is that word. Since I am in that state right now, I thought I might as well go with the verbal version.

I have big bones, so no matter how I slim down, I will still look like I have a huge ass. Crap.

I like looking at airplane food. go to www.airlinemeals.net for your inflight kicks.

Hate to sleep cos its a waste of time! *yawn*

I want to spend a month in Italy just going around and eating authentic vongole and fritto and gelato and gnocchi! (Inspired Jamie-I-want-to-marry-Oliver)

Industrial design + theatre = visuality at its best.

Brad Pitt isnt exactly THAT cute.

I have a scar near the fringe of my forehead, brought about by a heavy log falling on my head. Imagine the brain damage it did *grin*

I like pink more then blue. For some reason.

Did you know that Sesame Street has HIV positive puppets now? Like what do they do?*think*………then again*vomit*

People always ask me why not go for braces. SORRY lor, I like my little vamp tooth.

I LIKE MOO MOO COWS!! Anyone got the sticker? Gimme k!*jumpjump*

Never finished any of the drama/animated series-es that I wanted to watch; like Inuyasha and Da Chang Jin. Heh.

I confess! I am a gossip-whore. Read www.hollywoodrag.com, www.thesuperficial.com, www.perezhilton.com for fun *sheepish look*

Cant sms with Issy-isms on my new phone. The ** are too difficult to get to *grumble*

Ok if this thing is working, I’ll put up visual lao sai later. bye.

I was supposed to put up pictures. But. Friendster is NOT being friendly, so don’t blame me for being boring *yawn* I wanna be in another production! My body is itching to go….I just wanna be someone else for now. It would be nice to be some other person, with little quirks and idiosyncrasies. I need to be in a new environment and take in new things. I just wish I had the chance to do a full play again - Twilight was the last time I was a complete character-person and I really miss that. So many wants!! *sigh* the cravings of a growing kid.

Rice Ball rehearsals are underway, the songs are so fun! Can’t wait to squeeze the funny bits out of the songs. Song list includes "Comedy Tonight", "Instructions" & some other song that reminds me of Fossey’s "Big Spender" *shake ass* Jon is just jumping because everyone seems to be having fun with the songs. Imagine all 7 people going "You can UH! You can UH! You can UH UH UH!" in a utterly angsty, deep throated, orgasmic way *laf* Also doing NUS commencement dinner for MOL, which came along as a surprise. (A nice one of course) but right now I’m really stressed..what if i zhao sia? *bite nails*

One thing at a time really has been the way I have been living, and I’m really glad the Big Guy is watching over me this entire while. I mean I could be totally broke, but I’m not. I could be totally jobless, but I’m not. I could be absolutely fucked right now, but I’m not. Im surviving and depending on Him one day at a time and I think thats the reason why I am in this line (ahahha I know it sounds nice to attribute me being in the industry with some higher, divine power at work *roll eyes*) I guess if I were working a proper job with nice pay, I would be happily spending it on the bloody GSS (which sad to say, I cant really, although I have been waiting for that moment for a long time now) rather then asking "how ah?Jialat" *grin*

Point is, I am doing ok for someone who hasnt been in this for not longer then a year, but I do hope I move along. (I know I’m impatient, but all the good fun shows are this year!!!) And bloody neh neh, every-bloody-where I go, got soccer. One house 5 TVs! Also all neh neh soccer. WTF! I mean goddammit ball-crazed monkeys - can you at least not watch soccer and brush your teeth while looking furiously at the screen betting away? Eh!? Somehow, when guys are within sight of round, spongy things, they cant function like normal human beings. I wonder why *peers under top* Sigh. Oh well.

Here is a moment of silence to my beloved Toshiba laptop, 2002 - 2006. It has served me well in its 4 years of existence; illuminated my life with its brightly-lit screen, provided me with stress relief pounding on its trusty keys, gave me access to the wide, wide world, shared with me all that great video/audio and most importantly helped me struggle through those horrible years of essay-writing.*throws head in silence*

*sob*

OK! Time to get a new one…anyone wanna start a Give-Issy-A-Lappie Fund? You will totally help a needy person..(really i am, i can’t live without my laptop *faint*)
