MAY 12

Birthday! Yay! I turned 20! Ahem. quite disturbing actually. the fact that I'm ... ... ... 20! =

But... getting closer to something "interesting" hehehehehehe.

Sooo! This May 12. It fell on a Saturday. and not just an ordinary Saturday. but a Saturday when Hillsong college came to minister, along with Rebirth as the opening, of course. We did 3 songs. I was a ... soprano. =

While we're backstage, one of the Hillsong members spoiled to everyone that that day was my birthday. So they sang "Happy Birthday" song to me.. I can feel my face burning RED at that time. It was really embarassing! Singing a birthday song just for me! Hehe. But it's quite an experience.

MAY 14

Birthday party with the PKs in Tony Roma's. I had a joint birthday party with Fina and her birthday was actually on the day itself. I can't have mine on the 12 coz u know, I have loads of stuff to be responsible of. It's the first time I played "Articulate". During the party, we were playing that! We were so noisy until the waiter shushed us. OOPS! Tim broke a glass. Hanging out with them is so much fun! The jokes, the teasings, the conversations were all meaningful.

A slice of chocolatey frosty cake with funny-looking candles that my sister bought in Ace Hardware that afternoon.

Birthday girls. I saluted Tony Roma's for giving us the chance to celebrate our 20th and 22nd birthdays in a place like that; despite the broken glass and un-demure-ish acts.

The big 2-0 with my sister's manual "O".

The boys get drunk and ... no! They didn't get laid. NOTE: They are under-age.

Oriental Shiva / Vishnu. Who else if it isn't my brother and his faithful Indian fellow buddy!

THE REST OF MAY



The rest of May was another fun part. My stay in Indo actually turned out to be an essential period, especially for the Performing Arts. My previous school was rehearsing for their performance "West-side Story", a musical drama. Usually, after I graduated from there, I helped out in the backstage and also training the students. But this time, it just happened that two of the students were out of the play. It was then my sister and I were asked to substitute their roles as "Jet girls". Not only did we act, we also sing and dance. And the time to rehearse all those was only 1 month! It was really amazing how I can cope up with the dance moves. Omigosh! That's all I can say. I was suppose to dance Mambo, Ballroom dancing...with heels! Dang! Those shoes were loose and steep and BLUE! But I must say, those practices paid off. The play was AWESOME!

to be continued ...

the good ol' days

I'm back!
It's been two days in Jakarta and I really feel like I'm here for good! Woot! Yet, I still have 3 more years to go. In an island. . ... near Sentosa. Haiz...
So what have I been doing but to teach and meet people. First day, I taught Grade 4 Reading.

Then, today I played the keys for devotion and administered Humanities exam for the 12th graders. It's nice to be home.

I met my lil tykes, Janice and Arlene S. They're really adorable. I can see Janice's eyes sparkled when she saw me on stage today. She smiled widely too. Everytime I caught her in the eyes, she would smile and wave at me. Isn't that adorable?

There's also Tante Titia. Still as petite as always and of course, cartoony-type of voice. She's also one heck of a cutie. I feel like pinching and hugging and keeping them all!! They're the ones who can make me smile and destress myself from school work. Grr..

Overall, my days here are supercalifragilistically FANTASTIC! It'll be even better in the days ahead. Rebirth will be singing with Hillsong this Saturday in our church building. That ... we expected a LOT of people to come. Might be full-packed. (2000++ ??) Yep.
Anyways. Enjoy the pictures that I took with my tykes. (=

Arlene and Janice

a revolution with a solution.

The world's changing.
Women tend to be iconoclastic towards men. See those Asian male singers? Or even Western boybands? The image of a macho man is fading away. Here comes the lengthy-haired, cute-faced, and "omigosh-look-at-me-i'm-an-idol" chaps and that's right..they're invading pure maidens' dreams and visions.

"There's no need to be macho to get girls."
Rigghtt.. To a certain extent this builds more charisma in guys, and no offense, it should! Then again, it's quite confusing when they become similar to celebrity images that I've pointed out earlier on. With much respect, guys don't need pretty faces to become charming. I bet if we trace back twenty years from now the meaning of charming is not being pretty-lanky at all.

Girls must be blown away by the gorgeous smile of Jay Chou. Or even, the sweet "hey" from Nick Carter. Must it be them? Just because they combed their extremely silky hair, is there going to be a revolution of women's dream of a Mr.Right?

Take George Clooney, for example. He's the MAN! Too masculine, you say? Well, at least he's not a "go-with-the-crowd" type of being.

So what's this about "charming"? It's not about the looks, boyfriend! It's about being a gentleman.

All these while I've been blabbering and insulting on "feminity". I'll just stay neutral. So to neutralize it ... Even if a macho man has no sense of gentlemanism, oh puhleeze, we girls rather stick with ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... books!

So, to top it all off, this world need no boys nor men. We need gentlemen!
