September 1st has come and gone...

I know this post is late, and long overdue... although it's labour day here in Bermuda, we celebrate teachers' day on 1st sept. there have been many teachers through my 27 years that have left an impression... let's see now.
  1. Mrs Gay - my first piano teacher who caned my knuckles
  2. Ms Hsu - my 2nd piano teacher who taught me that short fingers need to "jump around" faster
  3. Qi Lao Shi - my guzheng teacher who i still can't believe is married with 2 daughters
  4. Mrs Simon - my first ballet teacher who taught me the word "spastic"
  5. the many ballet teachers i had at SBA - i cannot remember their names now except for the last one Mei Sing.
  6. as for school teachers... in primary school there were Mrs. Helen Chong (P1-P2), Mrs. Doris Lee (P5-P6), Mrs. Ang a.k.a. Hong Lao Shi (P4-P6)
  7. in secondary school, i only liked my math teacher - can't rem name but can definitely rem her face
  8. in jc my 2 favourites - Mr. Ho Shen Yong and Mr. Ng Pak Tee - they're the reasons for me taking math at imperial. Mr. Ho was from imperial and Mr. Ng majored in math. muahaha.
  9. in college - Dr. Wilson for being so frail and yet nice. Dr. Gordon James for being so precise everytime.

these are the people i credit for shaping me into this wacko. hahaha. what i really wanted to say - in my weird convoluted and nonsensical way - is that i remember you because you've really taught me something. and i just wanted to say THANK YOU.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
