definitely a nice feeling to be awaken to a nice sunny day(despite the heat), looking out to the green park and breathe fresh air, and not have to go to work! haha!

some very random thoughts to fill up the space.

• spent the first half of the day doing bits and pieces of what i’ve always wanted to do since started working at the mosque, and havent had the chance to. the room looks more…well like a girls room …
• helped to clear the kitchen and ….
• was thinking of doing more of the gifts deco but ended up…
• reading The White Tiger (Aravind Adiga). speaking of which, i just realized i tend to enjoy Man Booker Prize-d novels…
• and i still prefer Yuna to Zee Avi
• 4 more weekends to go
• and i’m actually doing the Gifts do-it-yourself way!! and i think it turned out pretty nice with some hot glue and laced ribbons here and there and you have a themed set of Gifts.
• and then i remembered i have many other things to do work-related but i refuse to do anything…
• because i’ll be working on the weekends. (right…welcome to working saturdays AND sundays, albeit half day) just like the ‘good’ old days — although i hope this will change come July

and throughout all the chaosness,

i had the opportunity to appreciate art although very much a newbie and knowing pretty much zilch of what’s in the scene…thanks to dear with the heart of gold~

there’s orchestra on Final Fantasy, and since our seat was on the second floor(or was it the third?), we got a good view of the screen where they show scenes from the many Final fantasy episodes and a bird’s eye view of the talented talented musicians.
(i think they should soon have one on Lotr + orchestra!)

first time ever watching the performance of young shaolin martial arts, although very much contemporary.

and tricky Seven Boards of Tricks. i mean seriously tricky. with triangle and square boards to make whatnots..although we got pretty sleepy since some of the songs were in chinese and we can’t for the heck of it understood what it all meant.

i know there are meanings behind every moves and dances but i couldn’t figure it out, just like the cullberg ballet..although there’s some sort of a storyline which i could follow but in all i can appreciate just how much talent and the energy and time put in to come up with a 100 minutes performance. all those passion they put in. pretty amazing. never had the chance to view performances before but it’s a ‘new breath of air’ to be able to catch and see what’s the hype is all about. have always wanted to experience them and you have given me that chance. thank you.
