anyways, i'll be going to hong kong in june with my ah lian sister. hehe! it's gonna be uber fun! im super looking forward to combing the streets of hong kong and taking millions of pictures. we promised jeremia that we would go see them so we're looking forward to that too! :) woohoo! and i've also just only realised that i havent been putting up photos on my blog since like 100000 years ago. so i shall update with pictures now.

i am currently in possession of two creatures that cheer me up when im the grumpiest person in the world. lemme introduce you to my two dogs: socks and zeus.

so my sister just turned 30. omg. time flies. we had quite an adventure trying to find a place to eat on her birthday, cos pple were out celebrating mother's day, so basically, restuarents were filled with old ladies and ladies with the rest of their family (some of whom you could clearly see, did not want to be there.) so anyways, we ended up going from bugis, to east coast, and then finally to terminal 3 changi airport. and we went from wanting to eat at billy bombers, to sea food and to finally our last resort, maccers.

so before the month of may, my ah lian sister, pamela and i had quite an exciting 2 -3 weeks in the wonderful month of april. i went to watch the musical we will rock you a total of three times. i am totally in love with every member of queen and i absolutely adore 99.9% of their songs. so basically, when i first heard of the musical, i was thinking to myself, 'oh god, shit they're so gonna ruin all their songs and im just gonna be so damn angry.' but eventually, i plucked up my courage and went to the musical on the 13th of april, going to the esplanade with a heavy heart. we walk into the theatre and i see the queen logo painted onto the curtains, so i go into a very enthusiastic explaination as to what the crest means, but my mom didnt seem very impressed. so we were seated 7 rows back. then finally the lights go out, and Innuendo is blasted from the speakers. i swear, i seriously almost died when freddie's voice came thru and very clearly overwhelmed me. and then the curtains lift and there in front of us, there were guys and girls dressed in futuristic wear singing and dancing along to radio gaga. they changed the lyrics to suit the theme of the play! but nevertheless, i sang along to radio gaga according to the orignal lyrics. then the scene finally ends, and the lead guy (galileo) comes out and all the girls start screaming. omg, you're kidding right. they were obviously teen girls high on their puberty hormones gone wild, it was ridiculous. so anyways, the rest of the play went on, and i got won over despite going their full of skepticsm. halfway thru the play, they paid tribute to all the fallen rock stars of the past. thinking of freddie mercury and how his life got cut short, how the world was not worthy of him, how he was so passionate bout his lyrics and music. i shed a tear. yes, i do love freddie.

after that first show, i had to see it again, i managed to convince my sister, jonathan and pamela to go along with the second time round and we also bought second row tickets. craning out necks thru the whole 3 hour show was totally worth it. we could see their reactions and stuff so clearly it was surreal. after that second show, my sister and pamela were hooked. we went a third time and this time, i 'bullied' shaun into going with us. and then shaun got hooked too. i made signs and held them up at the end of the play. so in total i made 4 signs. one said 'i heart pop' another said 'i heart gas', the third said 'pictures after the show?' and then finally shaun had a sign that said. 'please pardon my friends.' HAHAHAH. that was hilarious. anyways, while mig was on stage, he agreed to take pictures with us and pop flung a kiss at me cos of my lovely sign. :) anyways, i managed to get a high five from neels (commander kashogi) , whom i think is totally awesome.

so yes, back to after the show, this was to be our first 'back stage' stake out. i know we're crazy, but hey, you only live once. while waiting backstage, i had the intention of only taking a picture with pop. but then out came neels, and it took be a while before i recognised without all his stage makeup, he recognised me first. HAHA! he saw me and said..' hey!!!' and only then did it click in my head that 'omg, neels just recognised me.'

after neels, out comes jeremia (cyndi lauper in the play) and so we take a picture and since that eventful one single photo, we've been in contact thru sms. after cyndi lauper, out came mig. he said he was expecting us to go into the changing room to look for him, but yes, we are shy half asian girls. HAHA. anyways, while taking the photo with the three of us, he said we could make up the band like queen.

anyways, he told us to come again tmw cos we didnt get to meet pop. he said he would tell pop to come out and see us. but deep in the very core of my being, i had an uncanny feeling that he would surely forget. we still came again the next day, and lo and behold, he forgot. no surprise there, but he felt really bad. us going the next day wasnt much of a bummer cos we had a fresh round of photographs with neels, jeremia and mig again. and yes, the other girls werent very happy, esp. when their idol mig remembered our names.

after that day, mig told us to go again the next day cos this time he absolutely promised that he would remember to tell pop to come out and meet us. and yes, he held true to his promise. we saw neels again, but saw that he was in a hurry, so we didnt call out to him. but he noticed us anyway, and airkissed while saying good bye. sigh. i miss neels.

so yes, that is the full update on my very exciting jobless life. feel free to judge.
