weekend whizzes!
the weekend fizzled by in whizzes. and the whizzes come bite-sized!
went off from work early on saturday to the night festival at the national musuem. woohoo. caught the 1971 adaptation of charlie and the chocolate factory.tho i never watched the one starring johnny depp, the older movie gave me the creeps from time to time too. esp the oompa-loompas and their strange song. eeek. for a girl for hates clowns, it wasnt too great watching short men in thick, bad make-up prancing around chanting "oompa loompa..." wonka was good, better than johnny depp i would think.. :) but also a little freaky. disturbing!
as a child, i loved roald dahl and his works. i still love it. but never have i ever EVER portrayed mr.wonka as freaky. why do they seem to see him as a dark character? perhaps its because he's lonely? hmm. well, i didn't get any nightmares thankfully. (go read the roald dahl books darling!)
the light-up at the musuem was fabulous tho! i have yet to upload my pictures, but when i do, i'll post! drats, i should have brought the DSLR! but i took pics with the lomo and the 860, cant wait to see the printouts for lomo. haha. i am reverting back to film photography. eeps.
sunday! grandma day! :) was spent watching tang xin feng bao with mom in the morning. followed with a short chat with the bf online. had lunch with grandma too.
laters, brought wally for his grooming session. he must have suffered there, for he came home all jittery. thinking that we'd abandoned him or something. i swear he has that look of neglect in his eyes. so i decided to give him a treat and switched on the aircon. :)
and after the serangoon garden episode w wally, brought ben to macs and chomped on some stuff. haha. im watching my weight! lost 4kg after the trip, and i attribute that to the weather. much too hot! sweating helps, now we know! but i like myself 4kg thinner. hahaha.
and evening, headed for ballet under the stars at fort canning park! ive been wanting to catch this since 2000. tt doesnt sound so long ago does it? but that's freaking 8 years ago! so i told myself by hook or by crook i must go! even if alone! was blessed enough to find ticket from someone who couldnt make it.. got discount some more. haha. and the performance was really worth my money. happy. ambience was great too.
imagine: 4 little girls on my left. 1 lonely dancer-like man (or maybe wannabe like me again) on my right. and a lesbian (old) couple in front of me frolicking and being all touchy. what's there not to love for an evening under the stars? all that lacks is a boyfriend who happens to be still asleep in philadelphia! i am inspired to take up dance again. yup! i miss the plies and the allegros. and so impulsively i emailed a ballet instructor. haha. but im also considering other genres. belly dance? chinese dance? back to basics eh. haha.
just want to keep fit la! and have some fun while working and making the buck! :) oh yea. im no longer teaching tuition too. :( will miss the little ones especially.
