happy CNY!

i took this picture from kitty's facebook.. eeek! it has such CNY feel i decided to post it in here.. all of us miss u, kitty..

ooooh, i found more CNY pictures to add on..!! what's CNY without the God of Prosperity? woohoo!! check this..! stole these from idiot's page.. harhar..


Choy Sun Yeah

omg, i know..


Charity

old folks home at sikamat, seremban

some of my friends & i went to pay the folks a visit.. thought i'd share the pictures.. the old folks looked like they have absolutely nothing to do.. they all had a bed and a wardrobe each.. and when we arrived, they were just sitting around on their own beds, minding their own business.. actually, they were more like Not doing anything but Just sitting..

they plant their own vege..

one particular old folk sings..

we tried to bring cheer by bringing over some vegetarian food and talk to them.. my friend, ryan, brought his laptop and played some chinese new year songs.. some of us attempted to dance but it was quite horrid we stopped after a while..

chatting..

we went to another home - vinashini home.. where there are 53 inmates & some of them need special care..






his nickname is Jumanji.. a very cheerful and helpful boy..



notice the boy seated 2nd from the right? he holds a bear wherever he goes because he keeps thinking that he is Mr. Bean..


it was a heartwrenching experience.. at the vinashini home, so many things were happening at one same time.. it is quite hard to keep things under control..

2 children suffer from cerebral palsy.. all they do is lie down all day long.. food in the form of liquid is being transfered into their body through tubes..

there was another girl who had an epileptic fit.. she was moving in an uncontrolled way on the floor.. she accidentally bit her own tongue, resulted in bleeding.. what more, she puked out some white substance too.. =(

there was 1 kid who becomes really hyperactive and aggressive when he has taken too much sweet stuff.. he ran away from the home that day and some caretakers had to run after him.. they were running around a car parked about 10 metres away..

1 indian lady is mentally ill.. she was actually quite funny.. she laughs & talks a lot.. at most times she was standing apart from the wall by 5 cm facing it.. and then she walks towards us and said "the drink is black in colour. it isn't coffee. the drink is black in colour. it isn't coffee." and honestly, i thought it was funny i burst into laughter..

anyway, this is about all.. sometimes i wish there are a few of me's so i can send 1 over there to help out & other me's to do all that i wish to do before i meet up with my late sister.. ggrrr.. so much to do, so little time? well anyway, as poosy strongly suggests, i should really cut down on my napping time.. i sleep too much i may miss out on valuable time that can be put to good use.. this shall be my new year resolution.. it's weird though, coz i have been deprived of sleep lately.. as if this resolution worked itself into my life.. hah!

oklah. happy chinese new year all. have a good holiday! much love, girls.

my wednesdays

my wednesdays will be different..
with this group reappearing in my life
i will once again be entertained like before..

feeling the occasional twinge all over
being mesmerized by part of the performance
having a chance to share some of the contestants' sentiments

and oh, with the new judge
i can finally identify with someone from the panel now
kara seems like she can balance out the judges' topsy-turvy critiques
and somehow would say the right things
in line with simon's ideas but not as inherently rude..

kara rocks
*doing the air guitar thing*


Von Torappu Trio

Sharon - Pianist/Bassist, Yvonne - Vocalist & Melina - Guitarist/ Percussionist

once again i attended a gig by aristo's sisters.. this isn't like the gig from last week's though.. it was held at Bangkok Jazz.. they call themselves Von Torappu Trio.. made from a 3 piece.. they played 20 songs throughout the night (and an additional 2 songs after the crowd screamed for an encore).. they did a few covers in japanese.. one of which is by Bird (a japanese solo artist), and others like jamiroquai, moloko, portishead, cranberries, yeah yeah yeahs.. and others whom i can't remember.. ;p

an addional member to the band - Savy - Violinist

during the second set, the band grew into a 4 piece.. throughout the performance, the crowd cheered & clapped in awe.. after the last song was performed, the crowd seemed disappointed at the fact that the musical night has come to an end.. some one from the crowd screamed "encore! play me a love song coz i think i'm in love with u..!" err.. haha.. and the crowd burst into laughter.. it was nice of the band to perform 2 bonus songs, 1 of them being Fallin' by Alicia Keys.. once again, as expected, vyonne was able to pull it off.. *clap clap clap*

garf, aristo & mag (aristo's hometown friend)

and as a tradition, i approached the girls to have a picture taken together.. i put on a smile, like usual, hoping that there was nothing in my demeanour that suggested i was a crazy fanatic..

of course aristo had to be squeezed in within the camera frame too! after all, she grew up playing Rumah, Masak-masak & Tahi with the girls beside her..

wahey! the world just gets smaller.. bumped into an old friend, michelle, who happens to know aristo's sister..

oh, i'm just so thrilled.. here's a video clip of a japanese song they performed.. there are a few others recorded.. i would bombard those in a later post because it takes very, very, very, very, very, very, very long to upload..

Pomelo for you?


This is my attempt with the tattoo machine on a pomelo. Hahaha.
As you can see some of the lines are crooked (ack)!!
Will be tattooing this onto Ju's calf. *revenge is sweet*

Ju and I with the Black Cat crew attended our first ever tattoo convention over the previous weekend. It was indeed an eye opener for many of us. Singapore is hardcore with body modification I must say. I didn't snap many photos, but it should be pretty okay for you to feast your eyes. Enjoy :)

This is most of the Black Cat crew on the 1st day

Joshua (boss/sifu) and his girlfriend, Janine

On the left is Kevin and Elton, the two other artists
from Black Cat.

Ju the junior artist.

We had a good time there.

Last Rites (Paul Booth's)

Meet Paul, he is a celebrity in the industry

This is Paul from the side.

Paul doing a freehand sketch first on Malaysian
tattoo artist, Kinki. He costs SGD500 per hour.
Exactly, he is that terror.

Then this is Xiao Long, his hired artist
from China. He does freaking awesome
work too. Slightly cheaper than his boss,
he commands SGD350 per hour.

Xiao Long's work. I know Bee, scary... but his work
is damn good ler.

This is Bob Tyrell from Night Gallery.

The back of his head, Made In Detroit. :)
