Wuz goin on?!!

I haven't been updating properly about my life because A. I've been busy and B. I'm actually finding it a bit difficult to actually put interesting and potentially incriminating bits of my life up on the internet for the public's viewing pleasure. but then again what are the chances that anyone actually cares?

Anyway, it's Chinese New Year right now so basically the office is... dead. No one is here. Oh right before I forget Happy Chinese New Year!!


This past weekend, I spent Saturday catching up on doing nothing, Sunday meeting a boy for coffee in the morning and having Chinese New Year dinner with the family, on Monday meeting another boy for tea in the evening and on Tuesday watching Valentine's Day with my mom and going for a Chinese New Year party at night. So I'm guessing the whole - had beverages with a boy sentences - didn't escape you. Don't worry I didn't suddenly acquire a life by being really outgoing and asking out people/having people ask me out. Let's just say that there's an arrangement for me to meet different boys and I guess we have to see if we get along and then I suppose we are eventually supposed to get married, have kids and then grow to resent each other. In any case, if you want more details please just message me personally. Not on Facebook and not on my wall please. Because some of these boys might just be on my Facebook. So please, discretion is key.

So far it's been alright, stressful though. I guess that's expected since I'm not exactly the most laidback person on the planet.

On the first weekend of February I judged SEA Forensics at ISKL again. Duet and Solo again since they are basically the only things I feel fit to judge. It was fun. Really nice to see some acting onstage again. Of course it was inevitable that I had the whole, "You know... I really think that I was better than these kids during my time... not that I'm jealous or anything!", feeling. Which I suppose is probably explained by the fact that I am bloody jealous that I'm no longer the one acting up there and also because I'm bloody BETTER! Dammit.

Caught up with Laetitia and Ching Wen for lunch that day and I also bumped into Alycia an old, old friend from my SFS days. She's now a reporter at The Star so I guess I can add another person to my meager Malaysian friend roster.

That's about it I suppose. Ooh and I lost 1 kg!

I'm 17 again!

This weekend was a fun fun weekend because I actually went back to ISKL (The International School of Kuala Lumpur), my high school, to judge Solo and Duet Acting for the SEA Forensics Competiton. For those of you who don't know, although I bet you do since I talk about it a lot, I actually won both Solo in Duet Acting in 2004, my last year of school. I also won the whole tournament by most points and as a result won the Anne Russell Award. So basically, it was like the BEST day of my life and there was some chanting of my name involved at the Awards Ceremony.

So fast forward to now, 5 years later, and I went back and I judged the thing. I have to tell you guys it was soooooooooooo much fun. Also I got to catch up with Sahari and Richardson and it was just so great. BTW for all of you in the golden '04 year of ISKL, Sahari still refers to us as the 'special year'.

Ok and a quick recap for those of you who really don't know about this comp, the SEA Forensics tournament is held annually in ISKL. A bunch of schools compete in events like Debate, Original Oratory, Original Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, Solo and Duet Acting, some other stuff I can't remember... The schools that compete are ISKL, Assunta (yes I remember them because they scream A LOT), La Salle PJ, Victoria Institution, St John's, Hong Kong International School, Garden International and some other schools I can't remember.

So anyway I judged for this, I woke up FREAKISHLY early, like 6:00am and got there to judge Solo at 8:30am. I was so damn tired and I didn't have a pen so I asked these super obliging kids behind me, from I'm-sorry-but-I-don't-know-your-school, for a pen and they like all panicked collectively and found me one. Thank you nameless kids. Solo was overall okay, I had problems with them and liked them. I was definitely more positive about Duet which had some really good pieces. I mean basically if you pick Neil Simon or David Ives its gonna be entertaining.

The school looks good, kinda scrubbed and spiffed up. Makes me really want to do something in the education line... *hint* *hint* * wink* *wink*
