Angelic Music

Hee i was crazy about music created by Glass materials.

When u wet your fingers and glide it on the top of the wine glasses, you get this glowing, haunting and soothing sound. different size cups will give out a different tone.

So... 1 day i was at the Esplanade library, i came across a CD that has a compilation of music pieces made using an instrument made of glass!! Haha my lucky day. Love that CD. It sounds really medieval. It feels like you're walking in an few hundred years old castle... walk past the corridors and spiral staircase.

ANYWAY, there is a concert coming up and i'm so DARN excited!! Haha it's by this group from Australia. They will be performing at the National Museum if i'm not wrong. Just started sales on the sistic website so.... i'm SO gonna go!!!! So awesome. Never thought that something so "cold door"(in chinese)/ unsual will be shown here.

Anybody wants to check it out too??? :)

Heee i have watched the Harp recital with Wen few years ago. It was totally awesome too!!! Love these heavenly, mythical, beautiful instruments. They are just so one-of-a kind. You can tell that it is playing, the moment the harpist strums her fingers through the strings.... Makes we float! haha. Brings me to the clouds and the angels straight away!

Useful Intro to Twitter - Tweety tweet

Getting to know Twitter

What is it?
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages. People write short updates, often called "tweets" of 140 characters or fewer. These messages are posted to your profile or your blog, sent to your followers, and are searchable on Twitter search.

The Official Twitter Text Commands

Did you know: you can perform certain actions, like following or marking a friend's update as a favorite, by using the designated Twitter commands? Use the commands listed below from your phone, the web update box, or your favorite third party application.

Turning Twitter off and on: device notifications
ON: turns ALL phone notifications on.
OFF: turns ALL phone notifications off.
STOP, QUIT: stops all messages to your phone immediately
ON username: turns on notifications for a specific person on your phone. For example, ON alissa.

FOLLOW username: this command allows you to start receiving notifications for a specific person on your phone. Example: follow jeremy

LEAVE username: this command allows you to stop receiving notifications for a specific person on your phone. Example: leave benfu
Fun Stuff: friends, favorites, and stats!

There's more to Twitter than OFF and ON! Use the commands below to send private messages, mark updates as favorites, or even remind someone to update their Twitter page if you're wondering what they're doing!

@username + messagedirects a twitter at another person, and causes your twitter to save in their "replies" tab. Example: @meangrape I love that song too!

Whisky and Wawa

Hee, Whisky and Wawa are too cute to be left out from my blog. Wawa is Grace's Chihuahua. It's white from head to tail and is easily bribed by food. She's not that friendly to strangers (me included) but nevertheless it's great that she can understand Grace mum's instructions! haha

This is Whisky lying on the lime green sofa --->>>

Yes Grace, i was jumping around when you announce the arrival of the new pet! hahaha
http://d3i-gratia.livejournal.com/tag/pet

Made a trip to Grace's place just to see Whisky the furry, mini, adorable pup.

Those photos with green background are some photos Grace took!

This photo shows Wawa claiming her throne on Master's lap. Poor Whisky have to make do with the cold hard sofa. ---->>>

Douglas took great photos of her too! :)) Absolutely beautiful! They look so dreamy under his lens. Dun Whisky look half Papillion? Love her fur!!

Now i get it when Grace says that Whisky is very mischievous.

I'm happy just to be able to carry it around. It remains silent and obedient when i carry it so... it doesn't matter what happens before and after to me. hee.

Shall post up the photos i took with her when i remember :p

Flea Titan Experience

Took a paragraph from Grace's blog and her photos. She has a great write up of the flea so i'm just gonna document it here. :) Hope you don't mind, Grace! http://d3i-gratia.livejournal.com/73837.html

"Anyway, took part in Revenge of the Titans: Flea Titan 2 with Brend, Anna, Steffie on Sunday. It was horrible. After the morning of logistics hard labor, I immediately caught a running nose and was feeling damn sick the whole day. To make things worse, the organisers of the spree tried to pack so many vendors into the building that customers had NO WHERE to squeeze, and of coz, freaking humid and stale air. Super sick, was feeling so sticky and uncomfortable that I think i was practically hyperventilating. had to make a trip back home to take a shower and at the same time bring a mini fan down, thanks to Doug's ingenious suggestion =D. Thank goodness though we had a corner store with power supply. tee hee."

Yes it is that crowded!!! Even i don't have the mood to shop in such crowded, hot and humid place... hence e bad sales revenue.

I was so fed up with the aircon and with the crowded space that i just grabbed a few clothes and hang it up using my car. Car Boot Sale!! Most people didn pay much attention to the stuff.... Well only managed to sell 1 jacket. Well, at least i have fresh air and some space...


This is our flea shop front. I know it is really messy but what can u expect from a flea stall used by 4 girls?? haha.


Haha we are really happy to be out there in the open. See how unhappy Grace is in the picture at the bottom.


Brenda, Grace and Steffe did the DE SHOPPE poster. All of us brought our clothes rack. Yeah the dress at the top left is Grace's followed by Bren's Sailor-inspired top, followed by Grace's hot zebra print tube top and lastly my mum's ReAL vintage cobalt blue dress.

They are still up for sale!!

All in all, think the organizers are terrible. Don't think an apology email will do... They caused all of us to fall sick and waste our time there laboring and sniffing.

11-12 July Sand Castles & Basketball Game with Family

Hey hey!!

Want to share with you my new hideouts and how my weekend went.



Think now the time that i look forward to is the weekends. They have to be spend carefully as they are so precious.


SATURDAY

We had company team building day. Everyone have to go to the east coast park and enjoy a day out together. We were split up into teams and were assigned to build sand castles!! It was super fun. The facilitators provided us with the equipment like the pail, spade, mallet and moulds. The moulds were so facinating!!


This is what 1 of the mould could do. Hehe no sculpting needed. Just put in wet sand, press it in and cup it down. Knock a few times to lossen the sides before lifting the mould. Easy! Now everyone can build their own castles with the kit for $38. I'm definitely looking forward to try that with my family or with my lil cousins.


i did not manage to take the mould as i was too busy completing our own castles but here's some photos i manage to rip of a photography forum. hee.



SUNDAY
Had a awesome time playing basketball with my family!! Glad all of them were game for it. I went to play netball with my friends the week before and had lots of fun. So i though i can enjoy sport with my family as well. We can all workout together and have fun snatching the ball from each other.

Borrowed a deflated basketball, borrowed a pump from neighbour and scouted for a basketball court. Think the most unpredictable aspect is the court. I can't book those open public court, i don't really fancy sharing court with ah bengs who maY tease us for our lack of skill, i don't want to disappoint my parent after so much hype for not able to find a court to play in the end. Luckily everyone know that the courts' availability depends on our luck, they all try to recall the areas with basketball courts.

The weather was cloudy and cooling!! no scorching sun and no rain! AwesomE!!

YEAH!! We were really lucky. We drove around kembangan, eunos and then to chai chee. There was this school and the small gate wasn't locked. So we went in and had the whole court to ourselves!! haha. After 15 min of game we felt tired already. Haha everyone was panting and i cant believe how energy consuming it is... I jog every week and i'm tired as well.... seems like we all have low stamina.

We now look forward to next week's play at the same time and the same place. You're always welcomed to join us for some simple fun!! If you dont want too vigorous workout, you can always just shoot loops. :))) you'll be surprise how tiring it can get just by shooting loops. :p


love my weekends!

5 July - Wen and Joy at HK cafe

Ripped from Wen's. Hee.

My complexion is evidently darker.... by few tones!!! Darn.

"
Last Sunday, I met up with Anna and Joy for a dinner out. We were planning to go for a swim but it was raining heavily and the weather was perfect for sleeping! So what was a swim turned into a dinner and hanging out at Joy's place and getting a free therapeutic massage from Jolly.
Xi Nai Cafe (formerly known as Hong Kong Cafe at Joo Chiat)
""





Dessert from the shop next to the eatery. Caught Joy sipping on Wen's dessert... JoY!!!


Yes, we were supposed to exercise and ended up eating and pigging out. After pigging we went to Joy's place. Got a soothing massage and went home with a medicinal herbal smell from the oilment. haha happy with a free massage!!

3-4 July Netball and Dessert with JE

Friday night went Haji lane for dinner we A. E place was really nice n cosy. The triple cheese pizza was awesome and there weren't much people around. So we could talk n enjoy a meal. I wanted to play game of Upwords n it turned out unfun... Disappointed with the date.



Sat morning was supposed to go dental at 9 am but I overslept till 12. Missed it la.










Invited A to play netball with my fren Jed but he wanted to go gym. So too bad, I went ahead with my plans n played e game! It was fun n e sun was scorching. Played from 3 to 6pm. Time flew by really fast. Went for a sumptuous dinner at Shaw. Awesome Thai food for a really affordable price. Will definitely go back again to feast w my family :) then went to Mind cafe to play games like snorta quelf n rabbit symphony. The 9 if us were all friendly n fun Loving so we all had a great time. Good to know more new ppl as well. Looking forward to e next outing!! Really want to thank Jed for organizing!!



Forgot to bring sunblock to apply so i ended up having a black face for the rest of the time.... Arg. only realise it after 3hours in the sun. :p


















Sunday was good too. Slept in late n no bud studies. Hee then went to Funan IT mall to shop for a new laptop. spotted one with 8250 processor 2.15 Ghz 4 GB Ram HP Compaq for $1400. So its a pretty good deal! Think it's too big a decision to make with first research there so didn get it straight away. Then bro went of leaving Jimmy with me. It rained heavily so we went on to walk a bit more. He parked e car a few minutes walk away but i dont want to get caught in the rain. So we just chatted for a short while.

Thereafter, caught up with Wen and Joy. Supposed to swim but due to bad weather we have to replan our gathering. Hee we end up pigging out at HK cafe at east coast rd and enjoying dessert soups. It was a really fun weekend! Glad i planned it beforehand!
