Omg, I've neglected this space for far too long!! So ultra sorry people!! If I could I would dance Sorry Sorry for you now haha :D So anyway, let me just err update what's been happening, hopefully some with photos to show yall..

Okay what has happened so far? Oh yes, I shall start with err crashing orientation with the OG heads! This year, if y'all didn't already know, the SCs have decided to change tradition and instead of naming the OGs after VICTORIA, they named it VJSPEARCA. Don't ask me why how who and when. I'm puzzled too T_T
Anyway, I crashed with last year's OG heads! Feels good to meet up with them again :):) And we like camwhored in front of our respective OG colour. The other pictures are up on FB!

I swear this year's banner girl for the red OG looks alot like my costume last year LOL!


2009 OG heads :DDD (minus Aloysius, he couldn't make it!)

And a very random event. My mom brought home this monstrous BANANA from Sarawak. Omg la it was ginormous??!?! Look at the photo I took in comparison to my hand o_o



Anyway, on sunday, I went shopping with Celeste! :) Bought ALOT of stuff from Bugis, including two pairs of really nice shoes xDD So so happy :D And after that I watched Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (6 stars) alone. Well, I can sum the movie up in one word: artistic. Haha okay maybe 'abstract' can work too. I didn't really get the whole storyline while watching the movie, only when I came back and IMDB-ed plus wiki-ed it then I understood.. The plot is really nice I must say, but it wasn't clear enough in the film. Or maybe their dialogue was just too heavily accented. The acting was VERY GOOD. Hello we're talking about Heath Ledger, JOHNNY DEPPPP, Jude Law, etc. I actually watched it to see them act haha. Well, I think the dreamland visuals deserve praise. It was really believable and beautiful! But because I didn't really enjoy the movie that much and was left abit clueless at many parts, I give it 6 stars.

After that, I met up with Sef so that he could see the autographed SNSD and SuJu CDs that Tiong and Kenickie won from the Seoul Infinite Dream contest using our Nobody video!!! xDD It's reaaaal!! The autographs are reallll!! :DDDD All the SNSD and SuJu people have touched the CDs before OMGGGG. And we totally camwhored with the CDs LOL!! Okay I won't post much of Sef's photos here, later he paiseh ahhahah! I took with all the SNSD members (except Tiffany cos I don't like her) but I shan't upload all la. Uploaded Taeyeon's one on FB. I'll show you my pic with another favourite of mine, Seohyun! She's sooo adorable! Her personality is so cute la omg haha.

OMG. I just blogged this morning that there were only 300plus views. Now, at 3.40pm, there are a whopping 98089 views!!!?!?! o_o they sure are popular! Anyway the more I listen to the song the more I like it!

Update on my 'exciting' day, Melody came into the office just now haha. OK I'm like cheap-thrilling -_-

Wao. Something mildly exciting happened today. I spoke Melody Chen on the phone, the actress that you always see on Kids Central. Hahaha I have her number LOLOLOL.

SNSD'S OH! MV IS OUT!!! WATCH IT!

My views: I think the song is quite catchy. Very techno, very Japanese and the concept is also very American. Are they trying to pull off another Nobody stint and get them famous in USA? Hmm we shall see. The video was only released yesterday, and I'm surprised at the low hit count on youtube, only 300plus? Maybe it'll start to spread on FB and skyrocket like crazy. Their new album is out this sunday!! I'm gonna order it :) So exciting haha. Can't wait to learn the new dances :)

Btw, thank you Sef for teaching me Sorry Sorry and Wedding Dress! Now my repertoire of Korean dances include, Gee, La Cha Ta, Chu, Mirotic, Sorry Sorry and Wedding Dress! :D I'm gonna learn Genie next :)

Just a quicck update on something exciting that happened yesterday. I was at Starbucks, listening to my ipod and reading, and at the left corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of an angmoh man and a chinese man talking very loudly to each other. I couldn't really hear very carefully and when I took out my earphones, what I could make out was that the chinese man's bag was blocking the angmoh man's path. And I think the angmoh asked really rudely for the chinese to move, and of course the chinese was pissed and he didn't want to move. Then the angmoh just stepped over the bag and went to get his straw.

THEN on the way back to his seat, he realised the chinese man still left his bag there blocking the way, and the angmoh PUSHED the chinese man off his seat. He almost fell, but instead got up and the two of them started FIGHTING. YES. The angmoh like pushed the chinese against the wall and like their arms were all entangled around each other. The most exciting and cool part was when two quite big sized men got up on the other side of the room, ready to intervene and pull the men apart. But before they could move over to help, I think the angmoh guy apologized or something, and both guys like lifted their arms off each other.

WAH so action right. I think both men must have had bad days or something. And I thought only girls were legitimate to have pms lol.

Okay I'm going for my relative's wedding dinner tonight! As some of you know, I have ZERO cousins, so weddings are like really rare for me. Excitinggg yo.

Today marks the 4th day of a season of fasting and praying that our lifegroup has embarked on. I think the passage that really spoke to me today is Ephesians 2:8-9.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.

Recently, a friend of mine told me that since visiting a fortune teller last year, she's become vegetarian every 1st and 15th of the lunar month, and even changed her chinese name. I asked her what's the rationale. And she said maybe it's cos she's been very sinful previously in her life and she has to sacrifice to 赎罪. I was quite sad when I heard that cos many people really don't know how we can 赎罪. In fact, the truth is that we can't. Nothing we do can atone for our sins and I can promise you that we, as man, will continue to sin in the future. What then is the solution? Well the problem has already been solved, and all we have to do is to accept our saviour and repent before Him. It is by God's grace we are saved and can go to heaven.
Now then, is it true also that the nicest and kindest of people who are not christians are not able to go to heaven, while ex-criminals who repent and turn believers are? This may be a very controversial topic, but the answer is yes, only if we accept God can we join Him after we leave our physical body. Because all man has sin that separates us from God, so only Jesus can save us from receiving the punishment for our sins.

Yesterday we had a discussion on crowds versus disciples. It is really sad that there are many 'christians' out there who are not living to what being a christian really is, and are also tainting the image of christianity. There are many antis around, and while many of them simply do not believe, some are so because of what they see in their christian friends. Sunday christians are just 'crowds', christians by name and not by action are not even 'crowds'. I don't want to be living in a christian shell without a genuine heart for God that manifests in my actions. I want to be a disciple. From one point of view, there are many non-believers or even christians by name who are afraid of committing to 'discipleship' simply because they are afraid of letting go of some parts of their life. They want to hold on to what they currently possess and know that giving up some or all of it comes with committing to God. Worldly treasures are but temporary and will fade away. It is heavenly treasures that we should all esteem. God please give me the wisdom to know what you consider as treasures in my life.
As a sidenote, I've been asking God to show me His heart and teach me how to feel for others. I'm able to put myself in people's shoes, but I lack in empathy and I admit, I'm very self-centred. I really need to grow in having a heart for others!

화이팅알디아!

----------------------

Haven't been updating on how work's going for me. Well, all I can say is nothing much has happened haha. Went for my first event on sunday at Pioneer. Yes that's the stop after Boon Lay T_T it was a HDB block party and was quite hectic, that day. Giving out balloons was the worst. I don't know what's so fascinating about a stupid helium balloon. Once I step out of the room with like 30 helium balloons in my hand, I get swarmed with kids and parents and I suddenly seem like the most popular person in the estate. But like 3 mins later, I'm alone with no balloons. -_- This went on for like a good few hours. Waah those kids are fierce man, grabbing and whining when they don't get the balloon. Lol. There's gonna be one more in Bedok, dunno when. Thankfully it's nearer my house T_T

My company has a wedding branch and I get to observe how they plan weddings. I must say it's really interesting. If I had a chance I might venture into wedding planning :) In my free time I get to watch videos of past wedding and read wedding mags and books. Waah so inspiring! But strangely I don't feel like getting married even when seeing all these nice weddings. I feel like wearing the dress, but not going through the whole thing. I think I'll confirm cry at my wedding hahhahha. Omg ok I'm thinking too far -_-

SATs are this saturday and I haven't studied much for it hahah I'm so dead I'm gonna do worse than what I got from last year.

K back to work now bye.

[Something I got from Kim's blog.]

"Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes in the trash. Mobile phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth and mum was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were about who ran the fastest. War was only a card game. And the only drug you knew was cough medicine. When wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn’t wait to grow up."

Guess what I just saw on the internet:

"...With such an impressive popularity outside of Korea, it is only fitting that Jang Geun Seok travels to the appropriate countries and promotes the drama even further. As a result, he is scheduled to hold fan meetings in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore..."

JANG GEUN SUK IS COMING TO SINGAPORE. OMG. HE'S FREAKING COMING. AHHH MY BOYFRIEND IS COMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

*goes into crazy mad fangirl mode*

Waaa all the sai gang I've been doing for the past few days was worth it for today man! I got to follow my boss to 2 meetings. The first one was in Shangri-La. Some Huawei company planning a dinner thing. If you google the company, you'll know they're quite big I think. They work with SingTel StarHub M1 all these lol. And they're having some thank you dinner with M1 so like they want designs to be in orange HAHA. Reminds me of the very funny and good M1 tv ad where they purposely made the stupid designs red and green in the ad.


Then we met TFD himself. Yes I finally met him in person cos he doesn't come by the office often. And I sat in his car. Omg right!! Who gets to do that man hahahahha sit in celebrity's personal car. Lol. Ok then we went to another client, guess who was it.
Jamie Yeo's boyfriend. Gosh man I was like sitting in a meeting room with Jamie Yeo, her angmoh boyfriend, TFD, my boss, and I was abit starstruck lol. Like very surreal. Aiya ok I know I very cheap thrill but how often do these kinda situations come by for a mere student like me right? Haha!

Later in the afternoon after I went back from the meeting, I had to deliver photo frames from the office to Four Seasons hotel, and guess what, (no Zan I didn't take a cab there) TFD drove me there. LOL. Had a little chat with him and he's really friendly haha. Cool not? Cool right! Hhahahaha. Then somehow right, when I was in the car earlier, like on the way to here and there, I saw two Mediacorp actors along the road at different places. One was this not so famous uncle who always act as like a father figure. You know the Malaysian drama with Jessica Liu as the 2nd tomboy sister, and the oldest and youngest sis are Malaysians, showed quite awhile ago that one..if you rmb, I saw their 'father' in the show, that guy. Then I saw another even more unknown actress. But I recognise her la cos she got act small roles here and there. Lol so coincidental lor.

Oh and I got my first 'freebie' today. It's a organiser from Far East Organisation cos we helped them organise some event for Vivo and Square2 last year. Lol yeah la abit the cannot use cos it's so big and thick and heavy, but it's a freebie anyways hahaha. Cheap thrill leh really.

So yes, today was pretty exciting for me. I finally finished my company profile slides. They are abit too animated, but well I'll see what they say when I do my presentation on monday..

After work I met the 07 Lynx people. Haven't seen them in A YEAR. Really the last time we met was my birthday last year lol. Super long can. As usual, they were ALL LATE. I was only like 10 minutes late but they were like more than 45 mins late -_- so I queued at Astons first. Waa don't try to go to the Cathay one during meal times. I queued for like 1hr 15mins or maybe more. And the food took damn long to come. Anyway, it was sooo nice to meet them and catch up. We need like a longer catch up time people! :):) Gonna upload photos to fb soon. Oh man I have so many overdue photos :S

Random: Kpop rocks!!! English songs are getting boring, so are chinese songs. I keep playing my Korean playlist in my pod. Current fave: Barae by F.T.Island!! Though I don't understand what the lyrics mean, it's ok cos I appreciate the music more than the lyrics. That doesn't mean I don't think lyrics are unimportant, but I seem to notice the melody more. I guess that's why I can appreciate classical and new age music. I LOVE new age music! Ok now go listen to Barae!! 바래! :) It's 'I Hope' in english.

Gotta go sleep now, dance at 9.30am in the morning. Oh. Man. @_@

Omg I feel so stupid hahahhahah. I was calling up hotels to check ballroom vacancies for some event, then the people asked for my contact. I panicked and stupidly gave my own number and email HAHAHAHAHA. Turns out I was supposed to give the company's email and office number, which I conveniently HAVEN'T memorized. How I know right. Omg I'm so noob and amateur hahahahhahah. And when the office phone rings I'm so scared to pick up. All I can say is "Hello Flying Dutchman" and whatever question comes next I won't know the answer. LOL. Ok I'm going off to VJ now for lifegroup. 下班了！

I bet yall are wondering how my first day of work went! Ok maybe you aren't that bothered but I'm gonna tell you anyway haha. Actually, it was quite boring. Cos I think first few days nothing much to do. And currently they don't have many events up ahead. The next one is this sunday at Jurong West lol. I shan't go into little details, in case I come across as gossiping or like badmouthing then if one of them chances upon my blog somehow I'm dead! Haha. But I've got nothing bad to say about today lah actually..the people are really nice lol. Hope I get to do something useful soon, or go some cool place or start running around. I wanna do a running around job. Like get busy and sweaty and get some exercise while on the job. Anyone know what kind of job does that? Hahha don't come tell me marathon runner, thank you.

And I need to think of a way to start eating healthily. If I have to eat lunch at Chinatown every day for the next few months, and spend the whole day in the aircon office sitting down, I'll grow FAT FAT FAT. So maybe I'll like pack bread or cereal to eat in the office. But then hor, lunch is a good time to talk to the other colleagues and like get to know more. Aiyah I'll see how heh.

Btw, I think my sis is most likely gonna end up in VJ. Look out for her k, she's Astrid Lew, Althea's sister MUAHAHHA beware man. The Althea legacy will not end so soon ;) I've got a successor hahhhahaha.

Hello, I'm gonna blog on my last few minutes of holiday before I start work officially tomorrow. Yes I'm gonna be a peanut intern at an event organising company, The Flying Dutchman, earning peanuts. Hahhah. If you're wondering, it's the same FD, the angmoh Class 95 DJ that started the company.

And I've officially watched my first movie, in the cinema, on my own! Actually I did that like a few days ago. Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. The storyline is the most predictable storyline you can ever imagine. Lol. I prefer Theodore in the first movie, this one not so cute. I think they did the movie on a low budget really. Even the actors and actresses not very good looking hahahha. The experience of watching it alone is, well ok lah. I like to be alone :) Just that I got a 'waah loner' stare. Who cares man, I'm cool lor :D

Oh and I'm aching like crazy today!! BUT I FEEL GOOD. Led my first ever contemp prac with Ydance people. And stretched like siao! That's why today super super achey, walk abit also pain pain :( BUT I LIKE hahahha. I thrive on pain mannnn. Ok that sounds wrong but it feels good to know your muscles are working it :)

I hate wearing work clothes cos I look 25. Urgh. Oh well, I can already pass off as a 21 year old as it is right haha. K I'm off to sleep. Hope the other office people won't bully me too much ><

I've made a decision, I'm gonna go for it. It wasn't an easy decision at all, and it definitely isn't the easier path to take. I could've chosen the route with more free time to myself, with my flexibility to give to my other commitments, but as usual, Althea chooses to busify herself. I hope the experience and lessons I learn will be useful. I'm ready for tiring months ahead, still learning to rely and depend more on God for strength and guidance. Thank you to all who I've bothered during my period of dilemma, Chia Jloh Kim Jiali Zan &Mummy thanks so much lol. 감사함니다!!

Dilemma dilemma dilemma. Or as I would say in korean, 어떡하죠?
God please guide me to choose the right path ><

Wow today was just amazing, I had the whole day free so I decided to go to this ship, called Doulos, which is like a missionary ship that sails to every corner of the world to spread the gospel and help people. But it's like super old, built in 1914, just 2 years younger than Titanic. So it's gonna be scraped soon, and it's just docking here so that people can go in and tour the place. I got to meet so many different Christians from so many different nationalities, it's so super amazing. Heard their life stories and all, learnt a few words from various languages, and made new friends. Wow it was a day well spent really. I wanna go back again, talk to more people. Really makes you open up your eyes and well see for yourself the different kinds of people in the world. It's truly amazing how one God can unify anyone from any country or culture. I'm so amazed!!
