After 3 months of posting drought, I'm finally back. It doesn't mean that nothing significant happened over the course of these 3 months
(far from it in fact). It simply means that I'm either too busy or too lazy to translate my ever-changing thoughts into words, mostly the latter. However, this is a very different occasion. =P
Obviously this entry is not posted on the 06/11/06 -I'm already dead beat by then- but who can ever leave this significant date out?
heeheehee 5 more days and 5 more years huh? Lucky my parents don't know english that well. It's no secret by now after Shuangru's 'tell-it-all' dvd.. not that I'm complaining. It's too wonderful a gift for me to have any protest against, despite the very 'revealing' shots and shoots.
This 21st birthday party is really huge! I had the socialite jitters at the beginning, having to run around entertaining different groups of people, making sure everyone is comfortable, fear of being a bad host. I probably could have done a better job introducing people to each other if I wasn't so busy.
Can you believe, I, Gracias Sim the Gluttony, did not eat anything at all through the night?!.. oh well, partly 'cos I was going to burst that piece of spilling corset coupled with my running around. Meldy's jacket came in very handy at one point in time, till I was ordered to strip. I bet it couldn't be too boring a night for anyone - after all, there was food, a striptease show, a raunchy video, and of course, a very 'soft' live performance
(which may I add, required quite some courage). The first time 'Ms-Singapore-Idol-reject' had this much audience to perform to.. although the limelight was stolen by my dad - "平时讲话那么大声， 现在这么小声!"
(normally talk so loud, now sing so soft) Haha. I love my dad. How he calmed my nerves with his timely antic. For those who didn't catch the song.. Here it is again..
still a little soft and out of tune. As you can hear, my guitar skills could do with some practise as well. Oh but give me some credit, would ya? It's 2am in the morning now. I really don't need the police knocking on my door 'cos of my neighbour's complaint.... again.. -private joke- Heh.TK Anthem!
A big 'Thank You' to those who came, made my day and shared my joy. As I have said, seldom do I get these different people (though most were netballers) from very different aspects of my life to come together -
(and everyone knows how much I dread 'THE' School of Design), makes it feel surreal, yet so real at the same time. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for 'gracing' my party, especially my dearest family, cousins and friends
(you know who you are) for helping me this way and that, and -more importantly-, for loving me so selflessly. Even though I'm no christian, I still believe that I truly am blessed. You guys are my angels in disguise. =)
Gracias so so very much..
P/S: Really wished some of you (BHPs & TKGians are never forgotten) who couldn't make it were there to share my joy. No matter, we shall create more happiness ahead with time well spent.______________________________
Angel in Disguise
Corrinne May
I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and i stumbled out of bed and
dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody loves you'
But out on the street it starts to pour
and before i get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly
Take a look at the ordinary
Dont need to look at paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But i forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea
But out of the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatter for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new.
