at least and i miss...

today was suppose to be day 2 in shanghai... suppose to be touring ard after last nite's Eason Chan's concert... but here i am stuck in singapore... i wonder if they are enjoying themselves... must have been fun over there... i was i am there too...

at the very least, i met up with lousia yesterday, she is going thru a bad patch... not easy for her i guess... esp when one plucks herself out of her own world and rebuilt it ard someone whom she loved dearly... not easy... not easy... one really feel for her, tried to make her feel better... but things are not in her hands... i think i know that feeling...

at the very least.... i managed to play soccer after so long.. so happy...

somehow i am missing C... was suppose to meet up 2 days ago... but she fell ill... wonder how she is doing now, esp when she still has to go to work... funny thing is why am i thinking so much about her when we haven even gone out yet...

i merely wanted to be friends with Leia, but i guess intentions misread... Sarafina tried to matchmake us but keep joking and teasing about it but i think it hasnt gone too well with Leia... now i dun even dare to add her on facebook... just wanted to be friends, i guess good intentions can sometimes go bad...

imbalance...

feeling very imbalanced...
things dun seem to be happening right...
quarrelled with dad recently... the bad blood between us always has the same root... to me... he is always trying to spend my money... to him, i am a selfish brat who has serious attitude problem, enuff said... add these 2 together, a super potential recipe for volcanic eruption... just that i have been tolerating all these while... keeping quiet... but this time, i answered back once.. only once.. but its enough to create a big enough problem for me to have to forsake my shanghai trip with kwanhua, joanna and candice...

worst thing is i already changed money and had the itinerary planned out... we were going to Eason Chan concert... going clubbing.. going to Westlake and Hangzhou... all these gone up in smokes... partially cos of the quarrel.. i had to stay back to settle the issue... the other thing is i couldnt get a return ticket back to sin. all the flts that i can take to come back in time are fully booked... total sadness. was so looking forward to westlake and hangzhou...

C cancelled on me 2ice... cos she is in bad mood i understand... i wish to share her burden but apparently, not so easy... when she is not letting anyone in...
just did flt with C's roommate... Grace... din work with her.. worked with Peiying all the way thou... can click quite well.. thot can be friends... so i asked her for her number, but got rejected... not thoroughly, but bad enough... she said she will give me when she sees me the 3rd time, cos she dun give out her number to colleagues... its stinging me... grrrrrrrrrrrr.....

the issue of Kunda and Korean came up again.. one girl just msg me.. omg u look like kunda..... did anyone tell u that? er... ya... you are not alone...
she said she saw energy's advert on tv.. Kunda came on... thats Jingpei!!!! hmmm... okies... it resurfaced again... my batchgirl oso said i look like korean just now...

C.A.T.S

watched CATS last night...
was widely anticipated... cos we were talking about it for half a year...
but was dampened by the news that joanna and kh's friends said its boring..
nonetheless 3 of us still watched.. cos we bought $140 tics...

it was nothing like Avenue Q that we watched.. but the sets were impressive... the costumes, singing and dances too... Andrew Lloyd Weber really lives up to his name..
but the first segment was really slow... the singing was really hard to catch and there are only a few highlights... so for someone to go after work.. it naturally act as a lullaby... :P
but at least i manage to watch most of it thou i dont quite understand whats going on... not like joanna who was nodding off all the way... hahaha... kh oso struggled and fell prey at times...

the highlight was the performers tried to integrate the audience.. we got cats running amongst us at times.. and one of them actually came out to let us take photos during intervals... pretty cool

2nd half was much better... faster paced and everything came a little more to light... at least i caught some ideas of it... so more action = an awake jingpei...
its good thou, i really enjoyed it thou i dozed for a while... would like to catch it again to really know whats going on... wanna watch more musicals man!!!

Greek Mythology finally... Athens...

Was lucky enough to finally get to go Athens... initially planned to squeeze the tours and tried to go to Santorini and Mykronos...was hoping that i can manage it but it proved not feasible...

to start it off, the first venture out to the famed Acropolis started on the wrong foot when we went in the afternoon, after lunch. We were busy snapping pictures of the magnificent structure.. the Parthenon... marvelling at how rich the Greek Gods are when they are able to pave all the pavements with marbles.. Finally the trek up brought us nothing but disappointment when the Acropolis is closed.. at freaking 230pm.. all thanks to that, we didnt get to see the Parthenon.. and we are flying off early next morning to Santorini..

we managed to book flt and transport and lodging at the hotel we are staying at.. albeit its a little costly but it was not to be missed...

thankfully we took a flt anyway, cos we reached early and the weather is good and the place is beautiful... we cant stop snapping photos even right at our balcony... that took us a while before we manage to drag ourselves out to rent a car and look for food before we start exploring the island. our lodging is at this little town called Firostefani.. we drove down to Fira, the main town for some food before deciding to go to this black pebble beach called Kamari and a nearby town called Pyros where there seemed to be the highest concentration of Churches.. Churches seemed to be everywhere on Santorini and they are easily recognisable by their blue dome...

nearer evening, we rushed over to this place which has supposedly the best sunset view on the whole island... called OiA... for a while, it seemed like the whole island is congregating at that spot because its simply packed with people... but i must say that the view is really breathtaking, we went crazy taking photos and came up with quite a few nonsense photos of ourselves. pity the sky is too cloudy, we din get too nice a sunset... but the people disappeared as soon as the sun set. we trooped ard looking for food at some restaurant to rest for the night, planning to wake up early the next day to catch the sunrise..

the weather next day turned bad actually, it was all gloomy, foggy and rainy... we din manage to get out of the hotel till close to noon time... we rushed to cover as many places as possible... first stop was to visit the only port on the whole island... as the island is very mountainous, the port is situated at one of the lowest point on the whole island... there were doubts whether our little Piccanto can climb up after going all the way down... but it did nonetheless. luckily...

next we visited the black volcanic sand beach and the supposedly red beach... before rushing over to the lighthouse... we run into a group of fellow travellers 2 times.. before making friends with them only to find out that they are malaysians on a holiday... so coincidental...

the sky turned really overcast when we are rushing back... we lost our way and got trapped in the fog on top of the cliff... cant see more than 1-2 metres in front of us... and almost drove over the cliff twice... lucky we got out of it alive and made it back to the hotel. by then the rain was super heavy and the reception was nowhere to be found, leaving us really worried about missing the flight.. one of the fellow stayers was really nice and offered to drive us to the airport to catch our flt... we were more concerned if we can make it back to athens on time cos we are leaving the next day. the weather is not helping but luckily we covered the most impt places on the first day.

the ATR propeller plane greeted us at the airport, did nothing to lift our spirits as it was old and rickety and most certainly not comforting but its quite an experience sitting thru it afterall...
