I'll stop the world & melt with you.

It was peaceful and by far my best day in a really long time. You know how I mentioned that we were both getting weary about how busy we were? Today was the same. But after his tutorial, instead of doing other stuff, we just went out and relaxed somewhere really nice. Simply kick back our heels and do nothing. And we couldn't have gone to a better place. The Jamaican songs playing in the background, the refreshing Raspberry drink, the soft and sugary Cinnamon Roll and the many tourists made me feel like I was on holiday again. Back at, say, Pangkor and that any moment now, we could make our way to the soft sand and feel the waves lapping at our feet.

The best part of it all was that I was really really very touched that he had no complains about the abrupt change of plans and the "kicking back heels" was his idea.

I whistle a happy tune.

Heya world! A quick update while I'm waiting for Mr H to finish his tutorials. The King and I ended yesterday. I'm a little sad, I've gotten so used to the songs and such. Last night was the final performance and we all managed to get tickets to watch. And what a performance! I found it alot better than the previous musical I watched, maybe because I know almost all the songs by hard, but probably because of all the humour injected into it. It can pretty much be renamed "The King of Siam and the Women who Loved Him" because at different points of the musical, you can really see how everyone really loves the king. They [especially his wife] acknowledge that he's stubborn and sometimes spoiled but they had such moving words to describe the man beneath all the facade. And yes, he IS very lovable! Him with his "Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." Kay, you probably wouldn't understand unless you yourself saw the musical, haha.

And the part that they had the "play" was incredible too - the costumes were dazzling and the dances were so coordinated and so in tune with the music. It was really really awesome.

I teared up at some points, laughed aloud with the rest of the audience at others. I think another thing that made it nice was being able to meet some of the cast. They are gorgeous in real-life, I tell you. The pictures in the program don't do them justice. And the kids are all so cute!

Sales wise, I think we did a pretty good job since we sold all the soundtracks and most of the music scores and books. Before we left, we were given some souvenirs to keep, so hurray! :D

So that's that. Last night marked the end of the musical but if they ever come down to Singapore again, you can bet I'll be there. ;)

Half the fun is in finding out.

I cancelled tuition this morning because I feel like everything's such a whirlpool - waking up early in the morning for this and that followed by this and that. Hahaha, my elaboration skills leave alot to be desired, don't they? ;) I think Hasyim's starting to feel weary too. It's like.. we just want to stop, roll over on our backs and stare up at the sky, doing nothing.

Anyhoo, met up with the girls yesterday morning. It was so much fun! Despite them all being later than me [haha ey, but at least Huda's there to balance the status quo, right, Shaza? =P], despite my breakfast to consist almost entirely of vegetables, it was good, not-so-clean fun.

We're meeting up on Friday again for some cheese-lovin' and I can't wait for that albeit the fact that I'll probably be really broke. Haha.

I don't have to tell you what this is all about,
'Cause baby half the fun is in us figuring it all out.

I'm excited to go for SnB Welcome Tea, hopefully it'll go well later.

Yesterday I sat with the twins for lecture. Meghna saved a seat for me, thanks darl! It was funny, cause when I went in, I met Madhuri [who isn't even taking the lecture] and I wasn't sure whether there was a seat saved for me and when she asked another girl, the girl was saying there's a seat for 'Meghna's friend', and Madhuri turned to me and said, "That's you. Go!"

Haha kay, it doesn't sound as funny here but yeah :D.

Work yesterday was pretty good. The crowd wasn't alot [weekdays, waddya expect?] so I managed to squeeze in some quiet time between the shows.

Alrighty, it's time I get dressed.

So why don't we go,
Somewhere only we know.

Fuuh! The Cardio Sculpt class was lots and lots of fun! Although it isn't as tiring as Amore.. but I guess the instructor's just trying to pace us. It's refreshing being in a room full of girls, sweating it out, [pardon the pun] again.

Tomorrow I'll have to work. :(. The sad face is cause, no matter how much fun I have while working, firstly it's not as fun without Hasyim and secondly, I hadn't planned on working tomorrow - it's just that they're really in need of people, for tomorrow night. Oh well. I wonder what the crowd will be like on a weekday.

Hello Young Lovers



Hello young lovers, whoever you are,
I hope your troubles are few.
All my good wishes go with you tonight,
I've been in love like you.

Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star,
Be brave and faithful and true,
Cling very close to each other tonight.
I've been in love like you.

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels,
And to fly down the street in a trance.
You fly down a street on the chance that you meet,
And you meet -- not really by chance.

My my baby, please.

Finally got my tutorial registration done. Well, kinda. I'm on the phone with Hasyim now, trying to coordinate our classes. Well, he is. I'm just listening and nodding along with whatever he says.

Instead of helping me lose weight, the prospect of being so near Mrs Fields and fast food outlets at Marina Sq is just way too tempting! Especially since we Esplanade people get discounts. :D.

I actually feel like getting The King and I original movie soundtrack, [my my, our customer "persuasion" means is starting to influence even me!] and we keep singing along to the songs. Come on, we've been listening to the tunes almost every night!

I've been so busy that the issue of Cleo is still unopened on my table. But the good thing about being so tired is that you simply collapse into bed and have one of the best sleeps ever. :)
