smile and laugh

I absolutely enjoyed Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs yesterday. :)
All the political jest and the cross-dressing.. i was laughing my head off! Singapore government should grace this event!!
Crawl out from the grave!!!!! ohmygoodness.. that one completely left the audience screaming with laugher!!
Queen, PM, MM... i laughed till i was almost in tears. :')
Miss Jurong and Jessie/Jesse had so much character that I had to applaud loudly during the curtain call.
I was utterly amused with the script. Thought it was well written. However, felt that the lyrics and the costume for Jack and the Bean-sprout was better than this year's. Ah well, I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Somehow, I rather save money and watch a few plays a year than to watch movies every other week. :) Feels more substantive, thought-provoking and casts that I love to support. haha. <3 I am one year slow.... i bought last year's pantomime's cd! Trust me to do such a thing. Simply couldn't take my mind off the medley love songs. It was utterly brilliant.
Can't wait to watch Another Crazy Christmas and The Importance of Being Ernest next year!! Ayeyaya. :D Oscar Wilde and his astute books.
Talking about books and plays..
Was reading Brave New World some time back and this quote left such an impression in me.
"They learn to associate topsy-turvydom with well-being; in fact, they're only truly happy when they're standing on their heads."-Brave New World
How true is that? How often have we known the consequences of our decisions/actions, yet we still persist on. On top of that, we take much delight in that short-term pleasure and gratification!! Are we stupid or or we stupid? Blinded by sin? Hardened heart? Ignorance? Because no one told them there is a world whereby everybody walks upright, with their two feet? These were the questions that ran through my head as i reflected on the one year that zoomed past me.
In the midst of preparing for Christmasing, Christmas preparations like the gift list, the card making, stealing a glance at the not very impressive Christmas light.... I love Christmas. Not because it's holiday (heehee), but this Christmas it will be extra special to me, because come 21st december, I'm going to be baptized! Yeah! Gets me all revved up for Christmas. :)
Birthday celebrations, interior designing, ikea shopping, catching up with friends from kc and nus. I really enjoy every second spent together. Maybe it was the cab ride back from Serangoon when this i recall those late nights in school, climbing the gate like monkeys, attempting to squeeze through the bars of the gate, my tear stained uniform, sara's comforting quietness, messages from helmet and monster... Never knew/imagined/thought i'd miss art this way. I detested art, i wanted to drop it and pursue Science because it was well, practical. But God works in amazing way. Through art, i grew a lot especially in terms of dependence, understanding the meaning of perseverance, and who would have thought that through art, it was always to prepare me for my ministry?!?!? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT COULD HAPPEN? WHO???? hahha. I am thankful for all the blessings that have been showered upon me.
Few months back, a friend of mine emailed me and the conversation progressed beyond my wildest imagination. I sat there grinning like a silly child so contented with an offer of a sweet. :) Although there are times in which i hate technology to the core, i cannot write off the benefits. Bring it on baby!! What would i do without it? Write letters. So old-school! Love it. When i was hanging out with dazz at her house this morning, we actually talked about our future home! Better still, i actually said that i can't wait to settle down and have my own house. (i meant own house to design ok) Feel like we're all growing up.... last time our conversations was mostly about clearing exams, going out, watching movies, then it progressed on to ministry, relationships, now, still relationships, but future house, man, and so forth. Freaky, but exciting.
I can just imagine my own house to have a lot of posters, art works, interior design that reflects my personality. When i told this other friend about my ideal interior design, he called me a dreamer, and an idealist. Oh. :( So back to reality-return to room of blue walls. Bleah~ (can't one imagine the huge canvas in one's hands when he/she gets his/her own house?? =)
So sleepy. Shall do some reading then oh sweet bed.
