Sue Ann and I went to CW’s piano concert on Sunday and she was awesome! I’m glad I attended despite risking public embarassment of not knowing when to clap and potentially falling asleep halfway through the classical music recital. HAH. It was good!

Read the news and it reminded me it’s World AIDS Day today. It has been more than a year since our “Hearts of Hope” project with the Patient Care Centre and I would like to take this opportunity to shout out to all SbR readers to support this cause, to not discriminate this group of people and to give them a second chance to live a fulfilling life.
I’ve collected a bunch of these beautifully handmade beaded red ribbons when I was in the project and I would like to give these red ribbons to my readers.
These ribbons will be given free with postage but with one condition, you need to prominently display these pins (e.g on your clothes, as a necklace, with your keys on your bags etc) and , if possible, send me a picture of how you display these pins! International readers welcome! To participate, simply drop me a comment!
A Price to Pay.

Victor , Wai Mun and Me!
Victor and I
Watched Victor/Victoria on Tuesday with Victor and Waimun and it wasn’t too bad! Laura Fygi is sensational! Even though it wasn’t fantastic (because Broadway was way better), I still love their coordinated dance moves set in the 1930s and its non-slapstick humor. My favorite character – Norman Cassidy – King Marchan’s peroxide-blonde, spitfire girlfriend (acted by Australian actress Nicole Stinton) is hilarious! In her first few scenes, you would want to slap that dumb blonde but after a while, her airhead personality tickles the hearts of many.
Airhead and King.
“In “Victor/Victoria”, Fygi plays Victoria Grant, a struggling British singer looking to fulfill her dreams in 1930s Paris. She agrees to play a female impersonator (a drag queen) – Count Victor Grazinski – in a swanky nightclub in order to get noticed and becomes the toast of the town. However, things get complicated when a gangster falls for “her” (a drag queen) and Victoria has to choose between love and her passion.”
Saw these exhibits along the underground walkway towards Esplanade and they reminded me of my sister. She loves gummy bears! Sis, good luck for your accounting paper tomorrow!
These paper bears made of old storybook pages are also too adorable to resist.
If he can stand, he will definitely be bigger than my tiny friend. HAHA.
I played the GS (Goal Shooter) position in the netball match today. But. I did not score any points for our team. HMPH.
I know I know. What is a GS doing other than shooting and scoring?!
Luckily we had a strong GA (Goal Attack) who scored all the points for our team. We came in 4th. No. There were more than four teams. There were eight in fact.
What do I expect? To miraculously become a top shooter overnight with my dysfunctional body??
What kind of Halloween would it be without Trick or Treat?!
I got these Halloween-themed chocolates for my friends and had fun packing them in individual packs! Being really kind hearted, I also gave them a free baby Tarantula (He complained the 8-legged creature is too big to be a usual spider and too small to be a Tarantula. HMPH) ! I only managed to scare one bulky-softie (HINT: It’s the “strong” looking male in the picture below!) with my Tarantula!
My sister’s favorite bear looking silly!
With these goodies, I braved through the disappointing weather (it was drizzling-showering-pouring-then-drizzling again the whole night) to get myself to night safari.
Freaky.
The 3 brave souls and one silly me.
My weak heart (Not medically proven but declared by its owner) almost stopped on my way out of the safari.
This was what happened.
Thinking that the night was over for both the actors and me, I ran (because he was waiting outside) out excitedly while chatting on the phone, a freaking-hideous-and-rude-tin-canned-man popped out of nowhere and scared me to death. It was the most embarrassing moment. I first screamed. Then squatted down (my natural-but-useless reflex to shield myself from the freaky predator) and started shouting “It’s a stupid MONSTER!” over the phone with my tear-choked voice.
I wanted to dig a hole right there and then. SIGH.
P.S. Thank you Love for travelling the distance to the God forsaken Mandai just to send me home!
We had lots of fun at Cat & Chris’s 23rd birthday party!!! For more juicy pictures and extremely entertaining videos (c.f. Classic of Erwin and Bright) please visit my Facebook profile and you’ll see them all there!

Amandina et al. is launching a new collection in The Scarlette at an exclusive Ettusais event. Go look at it and you’ll understand what my sister and I are ooo-ing and ahh-ing about.
I love house warming! Especially when you can meet up with some old friends!
Maxine’s place. Zen-ish. Love nest. Almost like a restaurant.
The Autistic Clam
“Autistic clam” was our group name for the CIMS Marketing competition. We came in first, and instead of announcing our group name, the emcee simply said “the team from Ngee Ann Polytechnic”.
If this name is used during internal case, I am sure Erwin will cast the group into the “reject/loser” pile even before reading.
Wii-ing
Thank you Maxine and Ian for hosting us!
