昨晚与几个朋友看了由张艾嘉、郑元畅和王耀庆祝演得一场舞台剧《华丽上班族之生活与生存》。长达3 个小时的戏“延长”至4个小时，而可怜的演员们便从8时演至12时，之间张艾嘉和王耀庆还得重演其中的一场戏，接吻了两次。观众也连续“中场休息”了3次，我想，加起来大家也休息了1个钟头，哈哈！“榴莲壳”的人员只好提供免费的饮料和酒来赔偿我们这些无辜的观众。
无辜，真的好无辜，我无辜地多付了25元搭taxi回家…… :S
好drama的一场舞台剧哦。
舞台剧本身也很drama。
挺不错的，张艾嘉也演得很好。郑元畅在刚刚出场时显得有些不自然，不过到后来他慢慢入了戏，只是中间说台词的时候还是有不小心出错，吃了一些螺丝……
更drama的是，我被activated for work on the next day...which is today...and I have to cancel my dinner appointment with my friends! :(
这场戏很直接地表达了现代人工作时的情景，人吃人、勾心斗角、然后到最后伤害了人，才发现大家一直在争取的名和利根本都是空的，换来的只有压力、伤害，然后还有难过和后悔，中间没有快乐，没有发自内心的真正的快乐。
满沉重的一部戏，不过中间穿插了一些好笑的剧情，所以还不至于那么“重”。可是，作了4个钟头，大家都患了由Joyce 讲的 Economy Class Syndrome...
刚从柏斯回来的我，也在工作时看到了drama……我可怜的同事被上司骂得哭了起来，我也看到了上司那凶恶的嘴脸，完全毫不留情的怒骂……很恐怖、很惊心动魄……在我同事哭泣的那霎那间，我也很想和她一起哭，可是，没办法，还是得工作。她也很坚强，去了厕所一趟出来后，她若无其事的看着我，对我微笑、对乘客微笑……
可是从她的眼神里，我看到了不甘心……Haiz...
为了在这样的社会里生活与生存，大家要坚强啊！

Talk about some trips
Recently I had been to Japan and Beijing, and I would like to share some things that I had seen overseas which are interesting, but may not be new to you all..
I arrived in Japan on New Year day, and they have a tradition of inviting guests to drink Sake on New Year. Thus I had my first experience of drinking Sake, in Japan somemore! I was very excited about it actually, hehe. The hotel offered us one cup of Sake each when we arrived. It somehow tasted like Vodka, but it was less pungent (I think) and very smooth to drink.
Conclusion: It was quite nice, and it should taste better if it was hot. :)
The "mountain" of Sake cups at the hotel.
The Japanese are a very civilised group of people (let's not mention about history here..). Just like the local Taoists who would go to the temples to pray for good luck and good fortune in the year ahead, the Japanese also flock to their temples during New Year to pray. And they are very very "guai"...they queue up to go into the temple! Some of the queues are even in single-file...goodness...I don't think we will ever see that in Singapore anytime soon..
But this is a picture of the crowd squeezing to queue before they reached the temple.
Then on New Year day, the group of us had a gathering at the hotel for New Year dinner, as organised by the company. So for the whole night we ate, drank and watched TV...
Oh next is Beijing...went there with my "training classmate"..was super happy and excited about the flight..cos I do not need to work as much, and it's my first time to Beijing! Too bad, due to time constraints and weather restrictions, I do not have the chance to sightsee over there...
I shall wait for summer, or when the weather is not as cold...and I will brave my way to The Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square! Wait for me! :D

Happy New Year!
Ok ya this post lagged for like...FIVE days...haha! But never mind lah, who cares? It's just another day and year, but remember to change your dates to 2009 instead of 2008, that's all...
New Year resolutions ah, I don't have the habit of doing that...I always don't plan, no organisation, no planning, no goals etc...
I am a very "impromptu" person...haha...that's why, I'm also messy and "anyhow"...
Well, one of my goals that I want or hope to accomplish, is to learn and pass my driving...it's kind of a dream of mine to know how to drive since young, but because of financial constraints, I was not able to fulfil this little dream until now, when I have a job, and I can finally save up some money to learn driving... :)
And one little secret...
Everytime when my Dad or brothers are on the road, if they met some kayu drivers, they will say that the driver must be a lady...and almost 100% of the times, they are true...
So, my wish of wanting to drive is also, in a way, a desire to prove them wrong...that not all female drivers are kayu...
I'm kinda 大女人 in this sense..always 不服气 when guys think in a certain way...about ladies...
Another good example is our sense of direction...recently met a colleague...he asked a lady for directions, and she seemed to be unsure about the area...so he feels that females' sense of direction is very bad...which is what he has experienced before...
I told him jokingly that there's a female here (referring to myself), so don't say this kind of things in front of me because it's kinda rude...then he said, "then you lead the way lor!"
I kept quiet..cos I don't know what to say...I admit my sense of direction is not very good, but it's not that bad...just that I need more time to read the map, get my bearings right before I can get the correct direction...but if all the while I know where I am going, I will be able to get to the destination...
Well...I just feel kinda 不服气 when he said that..haha..yet I feel useless that I was not able to prove myself right...真是不争气！
Next time I shall jiayou! So guys, stop looking down at females ok!
Got one colleague said I not bad cos I was the one who brought him to take the correct trains in Paris ok... but he took me around Paris lah.. haha..
