I was really surprised and half-indignant when my CG members told me that Cinderella is the second least favorite Walt Disney Princess! How can it be?! I LOVEEEEE Cinderella, I think she’s the prettiest of all. The gown, people, the gown! don’t you remember the splendid blueish white gown that sparkles?
And what about her cute animal friends that helped her always?
never mind about the prince. who really remembers the prince anyway? as long as there’s a prince, we’re all happy.
but the best part about cinderella MUST be the glass slippers, although they are highly illogical to have. BUT they sparkle!
Did you know that Walt Disney’s Cinderella was actually made in 1950! so when we watched it, it must have been already 30 to 40 years old! But as a kid, I didn’t realize how dated it was, maybe because it really is a classic that never gets outdated. I watched it 2 days ago, just for old time’s sake and I still enjoyed it alot. I love the style of the whole animation, the music and the songs. It reminds me of the “Singing in the Rain” musical film genre somehow, though I am not quite sure how they relate.
ugh, whatever. I just like Cinderelle the best! (lovee it when the mice calls her that cinderelle!)
Terence dedicated this song to me at B&J (after much egging on from Adi, and after dedicating it to “my father and mother”)
He shot me a quick look during the song combined with his deep (emo) voice singing, “don’t let me go”, i almost teared.
I told him if he had looked at me longer, I would have just cried. But in his own words,
“I tried to la, but it was too weird. I think I would have laughed.”
oh well.
but darling, won’t you sing me another song soon? (:
p/s: pardon the onslaught of boyfriend posts here. for one, i am emo and in need of love. for two, we’re 8 days to celebrating our first anniversary. i am feeling the love, i think he is just feeling erm, normal.
thank you for staying up till 3am to watch a shakespeare production and helping me with my level 4000 theatre studies presentation. goodness knows how you managed to think up of all the right answers, and bothering to type it all down when you know that i am not going to use your notes eventually. but you did it to appease your upset and stressed girlfriend.
today S asked me in your presence if you bully me. I replied that I bully you instead. but when she asked if I bully you, you replied no and that it’s always you 自找的。I found that incredibly funny, and sweet too because you never ever make me look bad in front of others.

it seems as if this year/season, i am highly susceptible to the thoughts of giving up. but You are always gracious to me, You keep telling me not to give up. truly, when we are faithless, You are still faithful.
Yes, you have suspected rightly – I am feeling kinda emo nowadays. Not because anything major has happened, perhaps just the stress. And maybe there’s something that happened one or two weeks ago that really bothered me, but because it is a sensitive issue, I can’t really talk about it and there’s really no tangible solution either. Oh well. We go through fire, but we shall not be burned. We go through the waters but we will not be overwhelmed.

More and more I believe that we should give grace to people around us. We are all at different levels of faith, but really I believe that everyone is trying their best to love God to the best of their abilities. I am learning to give grace too.

I forgot to blog about this! But last monday I went to watch Polama Herrera dance, live!, in real person! at esplanade with jean (albeit the fact that I was at Circle 3 and peering down at the stage) I have watched her dance Don Quixote a million times on youtube and never fail to be amazed each time. And I was still amazed at her Don Quixote routine – she can pirouette and turn forever. The slight downside was that age seems to have caught up with her since the youtube recording and she doesn’t balance as well (as long). But the other pieces made up for it and the fact that I saw Paloma Herrera dance live is still ultimate coolness!
last night, i dreamed that you were back in the CG. you were just leaning against a couch, listening more than talking. i still remember being a little surprised to see you. it was as if nothing ever happened and that you never left.
then i woke up to reality.
but God!
dear God, hear our cries for I refuse to let him go.
This is one of the church BV’s kid. he has inherited good genes – musicality! i really think it is not that easy to sing Fancy Free when you’re five! still must dance leh.
To terence: sons are very cute too!
Terence has this odd habit of repeating to me that daughters are very cute. (He is of course thinking of Poh’s daughter who can rock it) One day, I couldn’t take it anymore, i told them, “I am not Attributes, i don’t provide pre-order service.” Haven’t marry me, already want to ‘order’ the kids with me. No deal!
hello! do you like my new pretty layout? no more drabby templates!
I wanted to put a picture of terence and i but he refused to let me do so, he’s publicity-shy. nevertheless, here’s to the beginning of prettier things (:
I will place a picture right here on this blog entry then!
And what about her cute animal friends that helped her always?
never mind about the prince. who really remembers the prince anyway? as long as there’s a prince, we’re all happy.
