Tale as old as time

Was out with the PPGs today to catch a local musical staged by wild rice, Beauty and the Beast


The atmosphere was really good as it happened to be the final show hence the place was graced by the presence of theatre celebs like Hossan Leong and the wild rice director himself who were all coincidentally sitting at the row just behind us.
ooh.. Star struck.

Personally, i am a great fan of local stage productions and i belive they are much more entertaining than the broadway ones cause they would always add a little social satire that we can relate to and laugh about.
However i think this one is really a miss for me at least cause Sarah enjoyed herself very much.
On the whole, i would say that the show was only average
The punch lines if any, were mediocre and all the jokes were just permutations of the Ris Low saga
And come on, there are only so many Ris Low jokes that one can assimilate in a single day
Probably one of the very few highlights of the show were the two ugly sisters of Beauty played by En Lai and some other guy.
They were hilarious.
Yeah. Thats about it.
This one sadly is a "neh" for me.
If i were to rate it, i give it 1.5 soggy styrofoam tasting popcorns tops.

To end, i leave you guys with a final picture on the way home
I swear you wouldnt wanna know the long arduous and noisy process of choosing who was supposed to be the photographer preceding the shooting of this beautiful image.


i promised sarah i wouldn't photoshop her boobs this time.
you should really see the dress below the shoulders man.
Its like...... Boomz.
Literally.

random musings

Take 1
wee wee: jacq, i think you sound damn fierce on sms
jacq: why????!!
wee: cause you always put 1 full stop after every word.
jacq: like?
wee: Eg: nope.
jacq: isnt nope a cuter form of no? and i hate my touch screen phone. so i just put one full stop instead of the usual 3. (shows her my phone and presses madly on the screen)
wee: oh yah. haha!

Take 2
wee: Jacq, i think the nick name u game your friend is damn vulgar

p.s: when silence is not always golden...

edit:
I love x (6.02x10^23) this song
a mole of love



They say its hard to achieve
But cant a girl believe?
Is there somebody who still believes in love?
I know youre out there
Theres got to be somebody
I search around the world
But I cant seem to find
Somebody to love

momma, i just killed a man

is chivalry really dead?
and did women kill it?
today, i mourn the demise of the knight in shining armor
all the independent ladies, wave your hands at me.

Saving the world before bedtime

PPGs outing yet again
this time, we went to the Body Worlds exhibition at the Singapore Science Centre
I remember being all excited back in 2003 when they had their debut exhibition at the expo and i spent half at the exhibition looking at dead plastinated bodies and my mum shopped at the john little sale at the next exhibition hall while waiting for me.

So this time, they held the exhibition at the science centre
i must say, the ambience and concept of the whole exhibition was much better than than the one back in 03
Instead of placing all the exhibits right smack in the middle of the showroom, they have adopted to showcase them through a progressive journey starting from conception to death.
Pretty cool in my opinion
I saw a cross section of a dead couple having sexual intercourse(??!!)
Many hanging male genitilials(melati you sicko)
Something closer to home, was someone with a serious constipation problem resulting in an "acquired mega colon"- note to self: eat more fibre jacq.
Other than the amazing exhibits, we also had fun collecting inked stamps that was located all around the exhibition
The stamps came in shapes of a feotus, heart, brain and lungs
PPGs were running rampant looking for inked stamps to stamp on our hands as well as our exhibition guide

Well, on top of waking up late(melati!!) and hence reaching the science centre only at 4pm, we spent almost 2 whole hours in the exhbit which leaves us basically no time for the uber fun science centre which we paid for as well.
Oh wells, next time i guess
Plans for next week:
Beauty and the beast by wild rice
Mummy egypitian exhibition
Zoo???-melati's idea (only reason for me is to see monkeys, gorillas, chimpanzees and orang utans. and the HUGE orang utan soft toy that i am trying to get. Christmas present? Any takers?? :p)

So after body worlds, we took a damn long hike back to Imm- a mall- with aircon and many outlets- which only begets one thing
Shopping.
Sarah proclaimed that Cotton on is to her what Forever 21's to me, and since they had this enormous sale sign we went stright in and the rest is his toe ree.

Before i forget,
while i was leaving my block to meet the PPGs
I noticed a few kids playing catch in the void deck under my block
while walking past them, one of the boys pointed his imaginary gun(fingers) at me and shouted
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!!! Bang Bang Bang!!!"
he was like what? 4 or 5 years old?

Seriouslly, what are young kids being exposed to nowdays????



Mark Twain: "Aging is mind over matter. If you dont mind, it doesnt matter."
Touche, Mr Twain.

edit:
4.40am
still waiting for hair to dry off before sleeping
i gave sarah pamela anderson huge boobs
reduced my fat legs
gave melati alien huge eyes and flattened her boobs
haha

depressed chimp

i feel like i am stuck in the space time continuum loop cause i swear that my life has been turned into this repetitive cycle which i cant seem to get out of
not to mention my screwed up sleeping patterns which have me sleeping not before 5am in the mornning and waking up after 130pm in the afternoon
i cant believe that i was actually looking forward to all of these after the exams
everything is not going according to plan
and i hate it!

argh!
someone save me from this quasi depression that i am suffering from
ask me out
to do anything!
i'll run errands, paint your house for you
save the depressed chimp please?

edit:
just in case someone gets anal and tells me that monkey is not a chimp,
i dont care.
monkey=chimp=gorilla=orang utan
peace out.

to my future husband

chelsea baby, i got a very bad news to break to you
brace yourself
new york city trip is cancelled cause returning flights are only availble on the 4th of jan and my mum cant make it.
boo
bye bye F21 mega store
i r sorrow

anyway, boo hoo no time to dwell on the sad stuff
i am planning trip to melbourne now
i must get out of singapore
must must must

I have offically added another item on my "things to do before i die" list
It is to
..
..
..
..
Go on a hot air balloon ride!


the idea of standing in a flying basket powered just by hot air makes me all excited and amazed at the same time!
how fun is that???

well since i am planning to go melbourne i did a google on the pricing there
and i almost pee-ed in my pants
its at least freaking 300 bucks per adult to fly on those giant floaty beach balls
like seriouslly?
i can fly to thailand and have tom yum with 300 buckaroos you know?

i guess i'll have to wait till someone brings me up there
you know?
maybe my future husband...
will pop the question...
high up in the evening sky??
that is too good to be true.
but a girl can dream.
Lets hope when the time comes, my future husband to be, isnt a computer illiterate and hopefully finds his way to my blog and read this post huh?
cause kneeling down in a dimly litted restaurant just isnt good enough anymore.
i shall title this "to my future husband" for his convenience
you'll thank me in the future.

You're welcome baby:)

went out to shop with the PPGs today
PPGs are finally exam free
yay!
its down to mojo jojo on thursday
hang in there!!
the damage done to our wallets is HUGE- as usual
melala bought a pair of shoes- as usual
we forever 21ed- as usual
i spent the most at f21- as usual
the person who wanted to save money ended up spending the most- as usual(jeanetic toes)
cannot decide which one to buy, just buy both!- as usual
we played crappy games like turning ur last phrase into a song- as usual
it was great having a girls day out
we should do this more often but lets avoid the malls


we are all happy bees
buzz out.

Giddy up jingle horse pick up your feet

i think my body clock hasn't adjusted back to my pre examinations schedule yet
so im feeling pretty insomnic right now
on a normal exam week,
i would be sleeping around 5 am and waking around 9 am
so glad that's gone with the wind

Anyway,
since reaching home(all hail the aircon and comfy bed!!), my playlists of christmas songs have been on heavy rotation
i am officially in the jolly'ol christmasy mood
I think that listening to christmas songs just makes me wanna do two things

1. go shop for presents
2. look into the mirror, lip sync and dance along to the song

before you burst out laughing
i am warning you.
dont judge me here
everyone stares at the mirror and sings to themselve sometimes.
I cant help it cause the songs make me feel so happy.
My favourite song for now is Jingle bells rock!
The song is so fun and catchy and just makes you wanna sing and dance along to it.
I dunno if you share the same sentiments as i do
but i think the jingly sound that is present in most if not all the christmas songs is THE jolly factor
That sound
That metal "jing jing" sound just makes you wanna dance
Go have a listen and see if you get what i mean!!

Just a random thought,
it is really funny to see how people around me react to my occasional "bitch fits"
while some choose to ignore and let me snap out of it myself
others become super nice and encouraging
either way, i appreciate them alot.
I know it's in me- somewhere.
Have a little faith in me.
I'll get it right.

p.s: i've got nothing to p.s today.

edit/
p.s: marcus and mei mei! good luck for ur exams:))
i knew it! i always have something to p.s abt.

out with the books. in with the fun!

meet your doom damn books
you'll be the fire starter for the bbq on sunday at shaun's house!!

General physiology

May god have mercy on me
Amen.

royal rumble

royal rumble of my stomach that is.
tim tam overdose
the rich chocolate fudge covered confectionery was my only source of nutrition the entire day
the first piece i took, i felt like i was in heaven
the second one, still yummy
by the end of the tray, i wish to taste choclates no more for an entire week

after the super unproductive day of studying
i went back hall,
dropped my baggage and took a damn long walk to hall 9 in hope of finally getting some decent food
not that the food at hall 9 is decent, but it beats tim tam
walked all the way there only to realise all the stalls are closed.
so.....
SARAH!
i stole your cup noodles!
will return you one, i promise.
Please forgive me.
I cant help it cause i was really hungry
but...
the cup noodles very nice arh...
i shall buy this brand the next time
hahah

so i tore the package,
cut the soup base and condiments and poured it all into the cup
there was this small packet of sesame oil which i dun wanna use my scissors too cut cause its too oily and i dont wanna wash my scissors
so i thought i'll take it to the pantry and rip it open before dumping the hot water in.
but after walking to the pantry, i realised i was carrying the scissors and i had placed the pack of sesame oil into my drawer instead.
very smart jacq, way to go!

But....

For dearies like Marcus, Mei mei, Kas, Wee lin, Yanner and Pei Shit
i really know what you guys are going through right now,
AND ALL OF YOU DESERVE IT CAUSE I WENT THROUGH THE EXACT SAME SHIT!!
chillax.... kidding!!
just hang in there and we can all go chill after that yeah??:))

I think i really need to get out of this place
This place- meaning Singapore the little red dot.
I have began to notice this trend that has been going on in the recent years of my life.
Its like a natural instinct or something.
The urge to get out of the country is strong within me whenever the holidays arrive.
Its is an adult thing to do?
Or perhaps i am just nomadic in nature(that is only duriing the holidays)
Anyway, whatever it is i am determined, bent, ascertain that i will go on a well deserved holiday like usual
So i have decided

Nicole Teo Ping!!!
I am so coming down under to look for you!


Can i stay for like 3 weeks or something?
Yay to free lodging!!
No need to pay for hotel, air ticket settled by parents.
Which means that the all useful resuorce my pay can go to......
SHOPPING!!!!

I think i wanna spend christmas and new year in Australia or a foreign land just like last year!!
Marcus... Are you with me????
CALL ME BABY.
but after ur exams, so we can plan our summer escapade!!(cause its summer down under)

when can we go out in full numbers again?



girls.
meet me soon? except for the one havocing in canada.

I really dread closing this window beacuse it would mean i have to open my biology notes again
and i have this bad habbit of falling asleep when i see bio notes.
i shit you not

Strike 1!


Strike 2!


Strike 3! yourre out!



All pictures courtesy of my wonderful bio buddies
I love basking in all my unglamness
cause unglam is the new glam
you can quote me on that one.

anyway.. this is truly random..
but i hate it when i click on someone's blog and some music automatically plays and scares the shit out of me cause my speakers are turned to the maximum.
can we at least have the option of clicking play??
its damn irritating getting shocked all the time.
hah.

I shall now try to flip open my biology notzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

just before i go meet my doom

parody of bad romance.
hilarious!!



wish me luck!

beautiful things to distract me from the pain that i am going through right now







i wish i was on a kayak with dan carter
with adam van koeverden racing beside me
and my pet bonobo chimp is helping me paddle the boat
and with our powers combined we miraculously win the race!

i am so not making sense anymore
can sports psych exaplain this then?
some theory you can cite perhaps?
wordy piece of shit.
i am going

Screw the world!

screw sports psych
screw the snails
screw the plants
screw studying

nah.
because i am a scardy cat
so i'm still studying
heh.

someone told me today that i look like im 26!!
good golly god.
really?
screw you too, for thinking wrong!
but really???
boo!

this is.... so not it

one word.
unimpressed.
wanted so much to leave so halfway through the movie.
lovin all his jackets though
and i think mj's hands are way out of proportion compared to his thin frail frame.
anyone noticed??
his hands are HUGE
and one of the backup vocalist i think,
shares the same nose surgeon as mj.


that's one sharp nose for a black man.
just a thought.
i think i need rhinoplasty too.
ive got a button for my nose.
thats prolly everything that is interesting about This is it.
So not it....

i am totally adding tom yum to my official list of favourite food
the spicy, tangy taste just make my mouth salivate and toungue tingle.
ANd the best part about tom yum is that it goes well with pratically anything
Tom yum soup
Tom yum ban main
Tom yum seaweed
Tom yum instant noodles
feel like having a bowl now already.
Actually, come to think of it, there is no official list yet
So tom yum is no. 1!

p.s: when you turned the corner just now...

zen.

after the rain,
you get the rain-bow.

wished it never did rain,
for now i am drenched in my own tears
so give me some time as i wait for the sun
and when i am dry,
then we can go have some fun


p.s:i just learnt how to delete comments!!
so, comment away cause its going in the trash if i think its crap- you know who i am talking abt "mystery man+obasan".
cause i just deleted both of your crappy comments!!
unnecessary stuff are best left unspoken-period.
