Time waits for no man

It doesn't even wait for women. Now ttz gender equality. Unfortunately, it isnt on my side right now. There is waaaaaaaaaay too much stuff to be done. and it's entirely my fault. Ah well.

Went for dick lee's 30th anniversary concert yesterday. 3 intense hours - not even an interval. Pretty well done, although the lightings and sounds ppl were a bit off, and it started off kinda slow. He brought on a couple of guest performers: Abigail Samuels, Jacintha, Kumar (he stole the show - in a sari), Koh Ching Mun, Ella Fernandez and 2 other guys i forgot their names, 3 new young Chinese singers, Sylvester and Taufik (i'll come back to this soon), his brothers Peter and John and even his mum. He sang quite a few of his well-known songs too - Fried Rice Paradise, Life Story, Mustafa (hilarious - with Jacintha), Home, Rasa Sayang...and quite a lot more.

Sylvester and Taufik were an expected item - what was unexpected was how nervous Sylvester was. Taufik performed like a pro (which he is, but then I may just be biased) - but Sylvester was really stiff. He hadn't memorized the words, so he had the lyrics with him, which is ok i guess, but he hardly sang. He just mumbled into the mike. I think Dick Lee didn't let them practice much - and Sylvester looked terrified. Thank goodness Taufik won. Oh - and he sang I Dream too. VERY nice. I love that song.

And thus begins the busiest week of the month - the week before Christmas. Add to that NYF, as-yet-untouched homework, Christmas shopping, French and 3 unread books and we've got a recipe for total, utter, complete exhaustion come 27th. Because there's a family gathering on the 26th, and exhaustion isnt allowed until after. Haha.

Ohhhh and i need a new school bag. My red one is falling apart at the seams. Literally. I liked that bag. Sigh. And OP's new bags aren't nearly as nice...so I'll have to go bag shopping too. *grumble* Wallet searching as well - my pink one is getting black, and the other one I have doesn't hold coins. HOW am i gonna do this before school starts? haha...i do this every year - i KNOW procrastination is evil, but for the LIFE of me i cant kick start myself. Hrm.

Maybe I should just log off and get started. Yeah that may be a good idea. *grinz* Ciaoz kids. And if I don't blog till after - MERRY CHRISTMAS. God Bless.

I dream

Don't you? Taufik's good though. I've said that before, havn't I?

Anyway. I realize that I'm so behind on hw, it's gonna take a miracle for me to catch up. But I believe in miracles too. So there. *grinz*

Last song heard: I Dream
Song playing now: Shakespeare in Love
Station: Class 95. Contrary to popular opinion, it plays new songs too. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

Homework to be done:
1) Gothic project
2) Boey themes
3) Hardy portfolio
4) Maths questions
5) Maths paper
6) Econs case studies (FIVE. Argh.)
7) GP essay
8) GP file

I am, officially, screwed. So much for my holiday timetable. lol. Focus-ing isn't one of my strong points evidently. Procrastinating is. Hmph. Let's see if we can change that.

This blog is kinda becoming too self-centered, dont you think? As in, it's a run-of-the-mill lookatmelookatmelookatme kinda blog. So im gonna be posting less here and more in my other blog, which is more of an opinion based thingy. Despite that, the function of a blog IS to assure the writer she's being read - so if you have comments on my entries over there, feel free (please?) to leave a comment. Just so that I don't feel abandoned and alone and unloved. And stuff like that. *grinz* I'm at www.cornership.blogspot.com

That's about it for today I guess. Brain drain. Haha...gonna try to finish all my Hardy stuff today. Wish me luck!
