Fringe was on!!

I don't believe myself that I plunged into the Fringe and became a helper as well. Fringe: lots of music, comedy, rides, performance, show.... Time to chill out, have drinkings with friends and family.












I WAS A SURVEYOR FOR THE FRINGE!! How I came about being one is such a loop that it began with myself -.- . A few friends were looking for jobs and I just randomly sent whatever I see to them. The Fringe was one of them. The lady called my friend,R, and asked her to bring a friend; guess who was "the" friend (in case it's not clear enough, it's me).

It has been 5 years since I have done survey; walking to random strangers and hope they can spare 5 minutes to do a survey. 5 minutes is just an estimate; truth for most survey "as long as you say yes, the 5 minutes will stretch to 15 minutes... hehehe". Well this survey really took about 5 minutes, I've done one within 2 as everything was a no.

I guess it's easier to do a survey with a friend rather then walking alone and asking strangers to fill up the forms. There are people who don't want to do surveys and some don't like to be asked about their household income. It is true that it's tedious but surveys do help the organisers to understand the progress of this event and improve it for next year.

Anyway, after 3 hours I finished my assigned 25 forms and got paid $50 Fringe voucher. Got myself the Fringe t-shirt as a remembrance. Will I do it again?? Once and never again for this year... I'll reconsider next year... hehehe

















A colleague gave me 2 tickets to Sammy J the comedian performance which is held in the Bosco Theater inside the Garden of Unearthly Delights. The show was about 1999.. when everyone was panicking due to Y2K... and him; a life of a teenager... very unique quirky show...

Happy Chinese New Year to Me!!

Reunion dinner by myself... I have to say that this is the most expensive instant noodles that I've ever eaten; roast pork, roast duck, bbq pork, bak choy and abalone... hehehe



ps: slow post.. just uploaded pics from camera... =P

In to the frenzy....

I have become one of the little fishes that plunged into the "Stephenie Meyer" pool... I have finish reading all these books and I LOVE FULL MOON and BREAKING DAWN!!!

Twilight was a slow read for me as I try to recall who acted as who in the movie and trying to remember the scenes from the movie. It wasn't as exciting to read as I'd watched the movie already. The movie squashed a few conversations from the book into one scene in the movie. BUT I love Full Moon. So much more emotions and actions.. the intensity of the love between the main characters... Eclipse was okay I think, after the peak in the second book, the third one seems a little bland... But Breaking Dawn is superb!! It makes me wanna be a half human half vampire too....

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautnar are definitely a good cast for this teenage lover story movie. While every teenagers going fan craze at Edward, I prefer Jacob; he is very upfront about his thoughts and much more dependable. I am not about to go crazy at Taylor; 1st he is 11 years younger than me while Robert is only 4 years... I think I would prefer to go crazy over Robert than cradle snatching Taylor... hahaha... but never say never =P
