Happy New Year!
9:57 PM
1 janvier 2008 - Bonne Annee!My New Year resolution is:
To Drive.
I had a smokin' start to 2008. Was feeling so emo. Good thing for the bus ride.
C'est la vie.
Life is like a piano. The white keys represent happiness, and the black, sadness. But as you go through life's journey, remember the black keys make music too.

28 decembre 2007 - 4 days to the new yearToday I made someone laugh when I said 'I have no affinity with balls.'
Today I laughed enough to live another day.
Today I confessed and said 'I love you'. Twice.
I love Starbucks time with my Eastie Buddies.
29 decembre 2007 - 1am
I love Theodore! He's the true star of the show!Favourite scene: When Theodore asked Jason Lee's character if he could sleep beside him because he had a nightmare. The Theodore ended up on his face the next morning.

Carrot cake is not a good supper companion. But Christophe makes funny company for a hungry night. I realize most guys have alot of ambitions, but is talking about it enough for it to come true? And I love my dates who can drive ;D Hee.

I love Fairmont Hotel. OMG. Especially the spacious bathtub! And the room is HUGE! 2 sofas and a bed to fit 5 people comfortably. I'm definitely going to come back someday.

MISScommunication
7:07 AM
26 decembre 2007I fucking hate miscommunication. Messages don't get passed, people get left out, people don't understand each other.... And each side has equal expectations of the other. WTF?!
I don't have to be involved but get frustrated enough to see it happening. Seen it with my childcare teachers. Been involved with miscommunication among family and friends. Alittle too often. And being the canon I am, I shoot off faster than I can think.
I wish you fucking *sshole will leave my cousin alone. Go sort yourself out first before you try to sort your kids. FUCK U.
Leave me out of your discussions. Leave me out of your plans. It's fine. It's fine.

Criticisms move the world.
7:07 AM
23 decembre 2007Criticisms move the world. Always, I cry after hearing a brutal comment about me doing something that I enjoy, yet I know I'll emerge better soon after. But then hearing those honest words made me feel better than hearing a string of praises as I wonder about that person's credibility.
I was telling my dad about the future I'd decided; to take up music in University and be a teacher. Then my dad threw these at me 'I don't think you're suited to teach music.' *GASP* I really wanted to cry so very much. But I held back my tears because I know it's ever so true. Reality Check. It's difficile to mope around after hearing a comment like that so I'm going to buck up. Anyway back to the topic.
I went back to work after some 3 weeks break. Last week I dropped by to give my boss some cake. And the first thing my boss had to say to me today when I started work again was 'Your cake is not nice.' Surprisingly I just laughed. Well I think it's good that at least I'm finding humour in criticisms. I already know that the cake is not that good. But before you shout 'BASTARD!' at me, let me explain: I'm not gifted with a 'taste-tongue' -as I would like to call it- whereas there might be others whose tongue is sensitive enough to know what's missing in my cake. Watching Yakitate Japan made me even more concerned about what I cook/bake. Talk about food reactions. So far I've only 2 constructive feedback.
Addiction to Yakitate Japan!
C'est la vie.
Mariage
7:07 AM
22 decembre 2007 - 3 days to ChristmasI remember I told my friends I wanted to get married at 24. I think I change my mind. I can't be sure that I like this person enough to get married when I'm only 24. My Daddy says to make lots and lots of new friends and slowly build friendships into relationships. Anyway, looking at this generation, the average age for marriage for guys is almost 30 already; after 2 bloody years in NS, a couple more studying and working. Who am I competing with to get married early? Now mariage scares me.
But I think I'll follow in the steps of Angelina Jolie. Have kids, enjoy bringing them up with the person I love and then settle down only when we're ready to. Got one fat baby at home already *snuggle snuggle*
Ah well. Why am I thinking soooo far ahead? I'm looking forward to Christmas with Cucalamonga!
C'est la vie!
Joyeux Noël, le monde!

Shattered dreams.
7:07 AM
20 decembre 2007
Have you ever had that vision of your dreams shattering in front of you? I did.
I was so convinced I've got my future planned out and yet that dream was shattered because of brutal honesty. I don't blame you. You might be right; after all things are always better seen in others' perspectives.
Now I'm back to square one. But at least it's still keeping me thinking. It's as if this decision making is helping me stall for time, for the right opportunity to come.
Alright. I believe you. And I'm going to do my homework. Just you wait and see.
But I still love you.

Went for a little window shopping today. Stopped at Kopitiam near SMU for a light snack, then....
Hey, he looks familiar.... Ah! *waves*. And he waves back then walks away. Ok, bye....
'Hey!' Then he sat down. 'So when are you going to Movida?'
'Soon I promise!'
*nods* 'What's your name?'
'Denise.'
'I'm Gustavo.'
I'm glad I finally know the name of my charming crooner.
We talked through dinner and found out the basic information about each other. Pretty cool. Then he said something sweet, 'You know, I meet so many people everyday, but I remember you. I must have your number. You want mine?'
AWWWW....
*Kiss-kiss* 'Call me, next time you are coming [to Movida], I'll put you on my guestlist. And I promise I'll come [visit you at your workplace].'
'Alright. Bye!'
C'EST LA VIE.
Flirting with music.
Merry Christmas, Paul.
Jewellery
7:07 AM
13 decembre 200712 days to Christmas.
After class today, Pamela, PeiPei, Peiling, Fazelah and I were 'Oooo-ing' over customized jewellery. It got me thinking that Hey, it'd be nice to receive such a luxury from a guy I like. But.. I haven't got a guy who feels the same way as I do towards him. Then I thought again; is it receiving the gift I wanted that'll make me happy, or receiving a gift I wanted from the person I like that'll make me happy? If I received the same gift I wanted from someone else, would I feel the same way? Hmm.... It got me depressed for awhile and suddenly I got really disappointed. Then I decided that no matter how small a gift I receive from the person I truly love, it doesn't really matter because I'll still be very happy :) Yay. Happy again.
Now I'm blogging from my bestie's house. Been such a looong time since I bummed over a friend's place. Janice, Cheryl, Adrian and now Peiling. Yay! And karaoke-ing with NSYNC and PeiPei.
They're sleeping now. I'm going off too!
With love,
Denise Rachel
Enchanted

7 decembre 2007 - Peiling's birthday celebration at Cookie MuseumPictures speak a thousand words. Enjoy!
And, Happy birthday Peiling!
This movie is really entertaining for the first few minutes! I was laughing at Pei Pei laughing at the movie. HAha. But I really love Disney cartoons. So I'm alright with the Princessy songs.
Favourite scene: Giselle and Robert danced together in the ballroom with John McLaughlin's So Close. I cried.
Erm part: Queen Narissa died really easily.

A Crazy Christmas
8:13 AM
8 decembre 2007 - A Crazy ChristmasI'm sooo glad that I never let fear of solitude stop me from going to A Crazy Christmas because it was a FANTASTIC concert!
Whoever said Singapore lacks talents are rubbish themselves. A Crazy Christmas is a rearrangement of well-known Christmas songs which I think are wonderful, original remakes. Think Christmas songs with Singapore's flavour. (On the twelfth day of Christmas... and for once let me strike 4D... HAHA)
Cast: Emma Yong, Sebastian Tan, Denise Tan, Robin Goh, John Lee, Tan Kheng Hua, Lim Yu Beng, Lim Kay Siu, Selena Tan, Hossan Leong and Pam Oei
The show started with a group acapella act. I had trouble breathing after because I was holding my breath to keep quiet so I could hear them. Subsequently there were more acapella songs and each are as good as the other! OMG!
Each person did a solo act. I loved Denise's performance; All I want for Christmas is you. I've since gotten the song and now it's what wakes me every morning. Another favourite (actually all the songs are my favourite), but my particular favourite was Lim Kay Siu's own song, Dancing Monkeys, which he said he's written when he was 14. And I really, really envy John Lee. Especially when he performed his original song (written by his brother Peter - John is Dick Lee's brother), I was speechless! And at that point I really, really, really wished I could play the piano! And I really wish I had a boyfriend like him :(
Hossan Leong did a stand up comedy before he sang a song dedicated to the children of the world. Pam did a hard metal version of I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus. And Lim Yu Beng did a unique soft rock version of Noel Noel.
OOO! And how could I forget! I thought of Pei Pei when Sebastian Tan came on stage and started crooning Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, Hokkien style. And calling Santa 'pui kia'. HAHA.
Rating: 5/5 cotton buds (what Hossan Leong got as a Christmas present)

Fatiguee

7 decembre 2007Christmas is 18 days away. I haven't done any preparations yet; presents planning, shopping and earning money. Argh.
Je suis fatiguee. Pourquoi? Qu'est-ce que ce passé? J'aime mes amis. Sigh.
Ce n'est pas la vie.
