flutter flutter the fairy passes...

a lil' fairy princess drop by today to my blog and left a lil' note. very sweet and nice to hear from her/them... so i thought i should put up some of the pictures i took of this fairy princess when i was living with them for about 2 weeks...this is the time when she sings "yue-liang-dai-biao-wo-de-xin" we just came from our ballet class, and on our way to Daisy and Tom (her fave' haven) and at Daisy and Tom, she urged to put on the robe and crown.. i told her she could only put it on and stay still for as long as she wants. obediently she did, for a good 2 mins, and she said, "that's enough, take it off"
then... well, it was the world cup fever... can't help it... here she is... trying on her first ballet slippers.. awww... the lil' ballerina-to-be spinning around in the living room... and her obsession with long skirt... and when i say long... it means really really long...

exciting news!!!

1st news: remember previous few posts ago, i ecstatically mentioned that one of my student, kimberly andrews, passed her intermediate ballet exams with distinction... well, 2 of my other students who also did the same exams passed with splendid flying colours, one scored a merit, and the other scored distinction. I was terribly proud of them, and for their hard work... kimberly and rebecca, who both scored DISTINCTION, scored 77% and 80%.
2nd news:my ex-classmate, clare hamilton was at the royal opera house today, at 1pm (uk time). and she was looking at the ballet magazines, and guess who came up beside her... well, needless to say, EDWARD WATSON. here's her text message to my mobile over million of miles away...

*hi edward watson is in opera house shop with me !!!!* followed by *he was wearing jeans and trainers and he looked as though he had done class i was looking at pointe magazine and he came and stood right next to me...*
i think i probably faint at his feet if i were to be in clare's position... hahaha... it will be so surreal for me... then again... i probably can't stop myself from stealing glances at him... and just simply admire this dracula-looking human standing next to me.. hahahahaha

CARRIE BRADSHAW???


hmmf... words have gone around, and one of my ex-classmates of mine... found out about my publications on Ballet.co.uk... i was trying to keep it as mum as possible from people from school. I thought it was something embarrassing, because of my english being not articulate enough to be on par with the elite professionals of financial times, dancing times, dance europe, etc... anyway... so, she said to me... i am CARRIE BRADSHAW of the BALLET WORLD... hahahaha i thought that was funnie... and hilarious... one writes about relationship and sex... I just babble about dance... if only, i have her financial power, and her never-ending wardrobe (almost like the one in NARNIA), i probably won't complain.. hahahaha... and of cos i can do without mr BIG, or any of her guy interest, which I personally thought none of them was interesting, apart from the very 2nd last guy, Mikhail Baryshnikov... hahahaha the one who acted as the russian/french artist.

mtv movie awards 2006

i am so pleased with this year winnings for these 2 categories... BEST KISS - Heath and Jake's Brokeback Mountain, and BEST HERO - Christian Bale's BATMAN BEGINS. What kicked ass was the acceptance speech. check them out...
BEST KISS: "Thank you not for me, for all the others who are struggling with love, which is all of us"

BEST HERO: "I wanna thank him (Chris Nolan, director), for getting rid of those nipples." "My lovely wife, who is my personal Wonder Woman"

leavin' on a jet plane

simply knacked!!!! had 2 hours of sleep last nite, then when i hop on the plane to return to london, i only slept 2 hours...the worst thing, i ididn stuff my face with all the airline food that was served. to me, i couldn't finish my servings... hmmf... but the big accomplishment, i watch 5-6 movies...hahahahha.... hence i am very stonned now...

dunno wat to name tis...

HMMF... nuthing much to update really... my future flatmates, angela and her sis, karen found a nice place in fulham/putney area.. it seems like in a nice place... (well as long as no spiders)... but before i start whinging about it... i do understand that i dun have a massive budget... but i guess thats the way it is.. small budget, small room.. hmmmf.... after some calculations, and the thought tat financially i HAVE to work to pay my bills and rent... i have not a clue how am i going to afford it... well, it also a bit tricky, my dream job at royal opera house did not reply, guess i am not good enough *bye bye ed*... so i am waiting for the job search papers by the start of September to start sending out cvs and stuff.. hmmmf... i already started missing being a student... i miss the discounts and those last minute ticket deals at the opera house imagine paying purely £10 for a £90 seat!!!

red & white

went to the national day parade (for the first time) with janie and viv... feeling patriotic? hmmf oddly no... to begin with... behaviour of sporeans at the stadium... some were really inconsiderate and selfish... i dun think i wanna parade the embarassing moments online... just imagine the scenarios: giving out free goodie bags, getting a seat at the stadium..leaving and arriving at the stadium 20 mins before the parade starts... use ur wildest imagination...
anyway.. parade started.. 3 of us, went munching away, and electronically fanning ourselves... I would say, we took the outing at the parade as a picnic more than watching a parade.. hahahaha... so.. munch away we did... and watch the splendid arrangment Glen Goei did... lotsa special effects and fireworks display... lots of taxpayer money spent too... *ahem ahem* the singapore songs were singing, everyone dressed up in "uniform' red and white.. it feels like a national day in a primary school... i was in black and navy... cos i dun have any red, and white makes my boobies look big :p the fireworks display was beautiful... was short lived though... but.. better than nuthin.. then again.. i regret to say, i have seen better...

I cannot deny that we did see some awesome sunset skies (as you can tell from our photos). Last but not least, i thought it was the icing for the evening.. the moon lit sky, outside the stadium.. it showed serenity and stillness... Unfortunately i wasnt able to catch the beauty of the moon on my digicamera... but the idea is there.. it felt like a werewolf somewhere out there is just waiting to prance on YOU!!!

....

my macbook and ipod has arrived.... got a bargain for them... let's not discuss them here... anyway... getting used to using a mac, I AM A MAC VIRGIN! hmmf... its not very very nice to me... maybe i am too used to a PC... with a mac, my blogs cannot post pictures at my command, which is very very annoying, and to add to the annoyance, i cannot change color of font in my blog... i feel extremely handicapped... what should i do??? argh!!!!!! i had so much difficulties just to post my blogs!!!! and i cannot video conference on MSN... only on yahoo. hmmf... ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE 88TH POST ON THIS BLOG, AND TODAY IS THE 8TH DAY OF THE 8TH MONTH OF THE YEAR. PURE COINCIDENCE!

HK / SZ

<



yeah, been there and back.... was extremely hot, it was like walking through an enormous busy oven or kitchen... i realised, that most shops had air conditioning. and so were the houses and apartments... and these air cons were built to generate hot air into the open, causing more humidity and warmth in the streets... no wonder it felt like walking through a busy kitchen with hot steam sprouting out... anyway...One thing i like about HK, the city that never sleeps.. LITERALLY... people are in the streets at midnight, with faces as bright as they were at 9pm, and the streets are extremely busy, still packed with vendors and shoppers. Giordano is opened till midnight!!! and the following morning at 8ish, 9, people are back on the streets looking all fresh and vitalised... with such extraordinary sleeping pattern, the people still managed immaculate complexion. Remarkable...
I went on a eating marathon. had constipation during the entire 5 day trip... so it was all INPUT and Negative OUTPUT. my favourite must-have food each day, was a mango drink from xuliushan and yu-dan (fishballs) from those street vendors. yums yums... had a nice refreshing drink from Mcdavis (mcdonalds) lychee drink. and my XO porky chop chuqianyiding was delicious... the dim sum was fantastic too.. those har-kao (shrimp dumplings) oh my gosh.. they were divine.. hahahaha the skin was crystal-like clear and thin, the prawns in it were huge and succelent, the multiple prawns were stuck together with an egg batter which adds extra sweetness to the dish... AAAHHHH.... divine... the shopping was ok.. lots to see, nuthing much to buy... (i was too fussy). as we (travel companion, viv and eileen), got ourselve in Central (zhong wan), we pop ourselves into ON PEDDER, cos i was so attracted by the pair of shoes on display. In we got, and i was erm... cos there was a press conference happening at the same time. I asked the manager if it was better that we came back later, as we didnt want to intrude. He was welcoming and ask us to stay for a drink and have a look around. well, we did have A LOOK around... countless TAIS TAIS, and fashionista people... I won't be surprised if we were being eyeballed... a hongkong celeb was there as well. (findin her pic now, post it later)
One thing i thought was significantly hongkongish was the architecture...
off we head to shenzhen. it was filthy and filthy... nuthin to buy there... literally nuthin... hence we spent money on manicure, and pedicure... and mineral water.. hahahaha (even the water taste filthy)... for the very first time i had manicure and pedicure... and all for just S$8.00.. why not.. and when back in HK, i had to superrush with last minute mango puddng, mango drinks shopping to bring back to loved ones.. to share the yummy food with.. and damns... i had to rush to the airport while tugging the heavy mango stuffs... i swear, i will not do that again... i almost missed my flight, it was FINAL CALL already, and i was literally the last passenger to board...

preflight

off to the land of dim sum and mango pudding!!!! cunt wait... all the gorgeous food waiting for me... shopping??? hmmf... i'm not sure.. i havent been in a 'shopping' mode lately.. as in i havent been a spontaneous shopaholic lately... so we'll shall see what happens when i get back.. will it be full luggage, empty wallet, or will it be empty luggage full wallet.. hahahaha...time to sleep before i do my super super duper last minute packing just few hours before i head for the airport... oh.. got a window seat too, hopefully it doesnt show the wing of the plane.. cos i wanna take pic, and i gonna watch at least 2 films on board.. :p see everyone later then...

THE WHINGING part 1

argh!!!!!!!!! i lost my independence when i am back.. i need to 'report' to people around me where i am going, what am i doing for the day, and what have i done the day before, etc...its so none of anyone's business... on top of that.. i feel like there is a million and one 'chores' to complete (well not literally). pack my room, meet people, meet relatives that i have never meet since i was 16years old, go to temple, pray, etc....these are chores that i relunctantly had to do... why can't i just continue with my personal life, doing things that i like, and being alone... i am in a phase where, i do not like to talk.... i don't mind sms, or msn messaging... but there are times where i just want some "CELINE" time, all to myself.... so shoo away people... shoo away errands and chores... let me enjoy my holiday the way i like it...

heehee... ransacking my cupboard at 3am... guess wat i found.. my collection of unused calenders (they are far too precious to be hanging on the wall, they are just preserving in plastics in my cupboard). They are mainly ballet ones, which frens had bought for me over the years.. i found one, 2002 calender, published by Dance Books, featuring dancers from the Royal Ballet. How fantastic, there was a brilliant picture of ed!!! and pic of roberto bolle, alina, tamara, etc.. it was a fantastic discovery at such a time... i am so happy..hahahaha this is the picture of ed, which i found in the calender.. INDULGE, people.. INDULGE indeed...

Equilibrium - 2002

Just finished a magnificient film on telly, Equilibrium (2002). This is the sypnosis: In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: books, art and music are strictly forbidden and feeling is a crime punishable by death. Cleric John Preston (Bale) is a top ranking government agent responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. When he misses a dose of Prozium, a mind-altering drug that hinders emotion, Preston, who has been trained to enforce the strict laws of the new regime, suddenly becomes the only person capable of overthrowing it. Christian Bale seemed to developed his character of Patrick Bateman from American Psycho (2000), by maintaining the essence of an icy cold killer, and adding more fighting stunts, which i thought put Matrix to SHAME SHAME SHAME. The battle choreography is inspired by chinese kungfu, and japanese samurai fighting, with the use of new-age weapons. This can be a rather disturbing film, difficult to understand in the beginning, but it begin to make sense at about 30 mins later. All the stunts are done without wires, all flips and leaps were done with a trampoline. Highly impressive. Invincible John Preston (Bale) was dressed all suavely and looked exceptionally sharp. It seemed to me, Christian Bale's preparation of Batman was properly prepared with American Psycho and Equilibrium. Definitely recommend this film to BOYS, GUYS, MEN... the fighting scenes were done with style and swiftness. My jaw almost dropped when they show the 1st and 2nd fight scenes. Unfortunately, becos of the plot, there is quite a long wait between the fights. There are some smaller fight scenes, but the last scene was the best. Look out for the lines that were used. Wit, and charm. Equilibrium is the bridge between American Psycho and Batman.

yums to the tums


finally, after 3 years.. i finally got my tums tums to some yums yums... hahahaha... nonya, the restaurant is singaporean operated, by christina ong's princess, melissa. the food proved to be as authentic as it could have been... we (my parents) and i had
laksa (long awaited), har-jiong kai aka prawn paste chicken, and prawn curry... it was yums to the tums.. parents came to visit, for my convocation.. brought them to places that i always wanted to go for food, but never able to bear to part with the cash... and if i did i will probably just reprimand myself for being a spoilt princess for having a luxury lifestyle...

vidx vidx

something to share... posted some vidz on youtube.com u can check it out.. my username is suicidalpixie these are some of the stuff u will see.. i have 2 vidz of ed, and 2 other are my choreography. there is a short clip of CHOCOLATISM, and sun yanzi's music to my DEVADASI. the recording for all the videos are rather crap, so bear with it.. its totally amateur and D-grade. and why i put it up??? well... as you can tell, i was BORED and PATHETIC.



short encounter

was at the opera house again today for a ballet class, as i was leaving the building, i hop on to the lift alone. and the entire place was so big, i was unsure of which level was it to get out of the building. i ended on the Stage Level, and apparently that wasn't right.. ivan putrov and bennet gartside were transporting their ballet trunks (in preparation for their madrid tour) in the opera house on a sunday...well, ending up with ivan putrov, principal dancer of the royal ballet in the same lift. was awkward in a way, cos, there was there uncomfortable silence. i broke the ice, and ask how was he (gosh, i was shocked by my bravery), and asked if he has recovered well. he responded readily, and we end up talkin bout his injury, which coincidently, same as mine, an anterior crucciate ligment reconstruction in the knee (ACL). chat went quite well, i guessed, i bet he couldn't wait to get out of the lift and away from tis pyscho bitch who asked him questions... but i dun really care, i just took it, as a normal thing to do, to ask how was his injury, and wish him well. the thing is, i could easily strike a conversation with anyone from royal ballet, i think.. but not for.. ahem ahem... *wink wink*
