i'm in love with josh groban.

woke up at 11 this morning, pretty good record for holidy (for me at least).
went with mum, my aunties & cousins for a dim sum brunch at the excelsior.
it was really cheap! but the food wasn't fantastic.

then went shopping in the city hall area.
had a hard time herding the three little cousins around the shopping centres.
they were behaving like lambs. baaaaaaaaad lambs. hmm.

i got myself a josh groban cd!
josh groban's closer!
was at sembawang music centre, planned to get piano songs (advertised on tv), when i heard his to where you are song! my goodness!

he's just great!
i'm a grobanite! (apparently, that's what his fans call themselves.)

my twelve-year-old cousin made a stupid joke today.
but i wonder why i was so tickled.

auntie (to one of my cousin's mum):
"aiyoh, why you let her wear such a shirt? got the words 'touch me'?? later people really go and touch her ahh!!"
gid (that's me if you don't realise):
"yahlor!"
twelve-year old imp:
"you also what! you wear shirts got 'bang me!' one!"
gid (undergoes severe emotional dehydration):
"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!???"

another thing.
i was watching this c-grade hong kong vampire flick on variety vision just now.
as if the show wasn't bad enough, at one point they had the subtitles, "Jesus, what are you doing?"

hello?
i didn't know Christ was that popular during the ages of chinese vampirism, until even peasants used His name as a swear word!

diaos.

just watched the nine p.m. show on channel eight just now. last episode.
i thought it was really heartwarming. beautiful depiction of love and kinship.
the faimly underwent medical crises to be able to finally understand that when everything else fails, your family will always be there for you. how true.
it's funny how sometimes we need problems to see the light.

wouldn't it be better if one doesn't need to be blind before he can truly see?
yet, there are those who have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear, hearts but cannot understand.
the idealogy behind this show reminds me so much of saul.

ok, on a lighter note, some scoop on various happenings this week!

for those who need healing.
i hope this song will encourage you.
and it's for two of my special friends too. :)

when i am down and, oh my soul, so weary
when troubles come and my heart burdened be
then, i am still and wait here in the silence
until you come and sit a while with me

you raise me up, so i can stand on mountains
you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
i am strong, when i am on your shoulders
you raise me up...to more than i can be

you raise me up.
josh groban. closer

this is such a long post.

update:
ok, i stupidly ran my finger over the entire length of a blade while cutting up some soap just now.
i think the cut's quite deep. lots of blood.

ouch!
