April: It’s going to be so stressed and all

Start of a new semester, 2 new students, and my wallet getting thinner and thinner. With April having 5 students, equates to stress, stress and more stress! Now with the vacation looming past, with 3 more weeks, there is so much thing to do, but so little time. Pardon the English please. I've yet to finish the biennale, explore the Singapore Flyer's food trail, finish all the books I borrowed, compiling the History and SS notes, finish "Only You", watched Morning Glory, Carmen and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Have yet to touch-up on my photos, and the list goes on and on. Anyone, please change lifes with me. It is getting too out of hand. Perhaps I stop procrastinating.

But perhaps it's the stress that is preventing more stress from coming. This stress which allows you to run away from certain problems temporary. So much for big plans, and so little for small ones.

Anyway, there's this little bubble tea shop at AMK called Super Bubble Tea. Format and all is akin to Koi, Eskimo and Gong Cha (the big 3 in S'pore BBT industry), and the quality is on par with that of Gong Cha. Ok, I requested for Oolong mixed with Green Tea…plus milk. So basically, it is a milk-based Oolong with Green Tea. 100% sugar level. Sweet! And the taste of Oolong with Green Tea complements quite well. I'm a geniuses! Perhaps all other bubble tea stores could pay heed to my advice and sell this range of mixed teas. I've tried earl grey with red tea, milk based. Not that nice, but still can do.

April sees little or no major plans, except for 1 play and 1 musical at Esplanade. Perhaps it is time for a well-deserved holiday. To somewhere near, like Hong Kong. The road is still long and windy and everything.

::: Notes on FRIENDSHIP :::

As I was browsing through my terrible and horrendous messy drawer, I came across a piece of paper filled with quotes. it was not written by me, and I did not know how I have that note. However, the quotes were all about friendship. And I think it is worthy of a mention. Here goes:

If you wish "acquaintanceship", be rich. If you wish for a friend, be a friend.

If you must let someone down, be sure it isn't the friend who helped you up when you're down.

A friend is one who knows all about you and still respect you.

Friendship needs frequent expression to remain alive.

Friendship recognizes faults in friends but does not speak of them.

A good football team relies more on harmonious coordination of effort than individual skills

When you ask another person to do something, it may help both him and you if you tell him what to do, why he should do it, when he should do it, where he should do it and how he may best do it.

Remember the tone of your voice often conveys more accurately what is in your mind than do your words.

There is harmonious throughout the universe in everything except human relationship

Friction is machinery cost money. Friction in human relationship impoverishes both the spirit and the bank account. –I don't get this

If you can't agree with others, you can at least refrain from quarreling with them.

Remember it takes at least 2 people to carry on a quarrel

Mutual confidence is the foundation of all satisfactory human relationship (trust and care) –I don't get this either.

Ticket prices are getting cheaper

Basically, I've made up a minor resolution. And it is not only minor, but is stupid and ridicules. That resolution is to catch a play/musical/comedy at least once a month, in the year of 2011. Actually, it is a follow-up to another resolution for 2010, which is to catch the plays/opera/drama quarterly. Obviously, for 2010, the resolution failed horrendously, with me only catching 3 productions. An orchestra, YOG mock opening ceremony, Fried Rice Paradise and Crazy Christmas. Ok, so its 4. Summed up the average of a production quarterly. So technically, I did not fail my resolution.

For 2011, so far, so good. I need not deceive myself using the average thing. January, I watched Model Citizens. February, I watched the B-boys ballet thingy. March, I caught Ivan Heng's Emily of Emerald Hill. April, the tickets for the hit Hong Kong drama, Murder in San Jose had been bought. Another ticket had been bought too…and that's 881 the musical. May, planning to catch The Expat Wife - The Real Foreign Talent. Ticket price for that is $25(for student concession after Sistic fee) Oh, did I mentioned that the upcoming shows I bought are all STALL SEATS. June..there's the Singapore Arts Festival (but I think there's nothing much I'm interested in). well, hopefully there is something else in stall, like maybe Hope for the Hopeless, the musical. It seemed like I'm going to such places for the sake of ful-filling my resolution. But such musical and plays are so, erm…enjoyable. Model Citizens is nice, and how well could just 3 actresses hold it up, with minimal props and everything. (btw, of the 3 leads, 2 are nominated for Best Actress in the Life! Theatre Awards) catching a play or drama is so different from watching a movie. The B-boys is equally nice too, and absolutely worth every cent. Ivan Heng is quite nice too, with him being nominated as Best Actress. Ponder over it. I don't know about others, but I felt Emily of Emerald Hill is a tad dry. The interactions are relatively forced. But he is able to inject some humor into everything. The jokes are quite stale, but I still laugh at it.

881 the musical, a musical featuring Dennis Chew (is he going to sing?), Nat Ho, Sebastian Tan (from Broadway Beng) and also Judee Tan (she's the foreign co-respondent in The Noose). Woah…it seemed like a mega production!!! Hope it delivers well.
