Few days ago, Iris visited me in Shanghai and we suddenly remembered we had this batch blog, which has really gone defunct.

Now we've all grown up and it's so much harder to keep track of what everyone is doing these days. So much has changed. We're no longer those little girls in pinafores; we are now doctors, investors, civil servants, auditors - professionals in our own industries. We are masked in make-up, grown-up clothes, totting around in high heels (yes, even tsemin :) ).

I'm glad we still keep in touch, and I'm glad for the blog (and the batch book - where's the batch book!) that still holds memories, and reminds me of the little girls we once were.

(If Clarine reads this, she is gonna smack me for calling her a little girl.)

WRONG. actually the last time we met up was at banana leaf apolo at racecourse road (=
and also, i'm in the uk, shunling is in uk, huichong is in japan?, isabel is in america, iris is in australia, liurui will be in the uk soon but for 2months only.. is that it?

i watched the les mis 25th anniversary concert at the o2 stadium over the weekend. it was incredible! the moment the first chord opened i was like OMG. and the horns (and sometimes the trombones) were the best ones i have ever heard in my life (maybe comparable to the studio ghibli concert at budokan, but they had something like 10horns, whereas les mis had 5-6?) i tell you the entire orchestra was just a surfer riding on the massive tsunami-like wave that were the horns. the oboe solos were also dam dam nice (altho at one point i swear he was just quivering on going flat). they changed the orchestration for the concert so it was a bit odd, like too much of the melody was being carried on the harp i felt, and no windchimes for on my own was like a big hole! but you can get used to it i suppose. and i guess also cos normally the pit orchestra doesn't have much, so now they zenged the bass parts and i think maybe the cellos and double basses couldn't really keep up with the intensity, or maybe cos i was sitting in the nosebleed section the acoustics weren't that great. but it was amazing anyway! when they started do you hear the people sing i just kept thinking of all of you guys (= and marching in the sun and all that. (= i'm going to get the dvd so at our next gathering we can watch (=
OMFG. this blog is so defunct x.x
the last post was mine and that was (very)nearly a year ago! ow.

we don't meet so much nowadays I guess. nic's still in the UK. but the rest of us are in Singapore right? RIGHT?

to recap, last we met, if i recall correctly, was when nic dated me to butterfactory though she didn't attend. and we were all at raffles city. ate at the sushi tei there. at a lovely private cornerish place with fake curtainy things. and we ssampled mooncakes. much.

we should meet up.
AND revive the blog.

woooooooooooooooooooooot~

I miss you guys :( Reading all the old posts :) And laughing at hy's new post. What? Have we all become aunties already? :) Hahas.

Wanted to post the other day. Cos I dreamt of the rg band peeps. All in Europe. Haha. In a snowy kind of place. Guess we were holidaying or something. And it was like kind of an adventure climb or something. Cos we were all clambering over some rocks covered with snow. And as usual, the sporty and brave people like Rui and Inez are like shooting ahead, and disappearing into the white wilderness. And like me and most of the gang (HAHA) were like panting and trying to get ahead. And then trying to call them (the people ahead) back cos we found a shelter for the night and didn't want to go further HAHA! Well weird dream but quite cool.

I am doing my dissertation. I'm such a boring geek these days. All I talk about or do is my dissertation. Lala~ Went to London for the Halloween weekend. Londoners are so not adventurous about costumes. Bleh~ And went to watch Avenue Q cos Wicked (which I thought was a great Halloween thing to catch) was full. It's so funny. Haha. I just laughed and laughed. I don't know if there's a youtube thingy or whatever. But go watch it. It's quite cynical and yet hilarious. I do think it's the kind of thing we like x.x (Do tell me if I'm wrong)It's about how screwed up life is basically. And quite true it is. Maybe that's why it's funny. There are some explicit muppet sex scenes (which I found highly disturbing) and quite a bit of vulgarity. But it's all in good fun. I do recommend it if anyone's bored and sick of life. It makes you see the funny side of things :)

Well - before I write a bloody long essay - tata~
