It's another goodbye. In times like these, I really appreciate whatever was done for me.
As you walk towards your deathbed, you slowly bid goodbye to the people around you. The moment you stepped into this world, you are already predestined to die. It's just a matter of how long your path is.

It was Granny's birthday yesterday and I was looking forward to see her. She was in all smiles and I couldn't help laughing at how happy she was. She looked fabulous with her red traditional Chinese buttoned shirt and little beaded nonya-liked bag and bedroom slippers. Her white hair was neatly combed and styled, just like a young chic.
When the 9-course buffet came, I was ecstatic! The spread was awesome. We had birthday buns to birthday noodles to suckling pig to herb chicken and even mutton curry! Dessert was yam paste. I couldn't wait for all to be present and start dinner! :D
You know you are lucky and fortunate when a family of 4 generations gather together to celebrate their mother's / grandma's / great- grandma's birthday. I was waiting for the group picture. It's like a family tradition where we gather together for occasions and celebrate as one big family.
It hurts when 1 family member is terminally ill and all you can do is to see your loved one float away. As he grew thinner and thinner each day, our hearts break wider and wider each day. I could see those lumps on his forehead. It's scary yet heartbreaking.
This might be his very last occasion with us. We ate the best food that he bought (He paid for the buffet dinner) and yet he was lying in one corner in his room eating porridge, vomiting out whatever went in. It hurts. It really do.
I'm fine. I have come to terms with it and have accepted that he will leave me one day. As you grow older, these things are inevitable and you have to go through it. Life goes on the way it should be. Your heart will mend itself as time goes by. We grow up for a reason, to think, to learn and to mature.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL. I have not really set any resolutions for 2010 yet! :D

It was a dream come true for me yesterday. Able to listen to the legendary CHARICE PEMPENGCO live on stage is a lifetime dream come true for me. It was the most awesome night ever.
I am a HUGE HUGE fan of Charice and immediately fell in love with her powerful vocals after watching the youtube video that brought her to fame today. Her first single, 'Note to God' is set as my message ringtone. (Please message me more often!)
Alright. Back to the amazing, wonderful, beautiful day. I am so grateful to be able to get hold of Singapore Idol final tickets and of course, to the producers of Singapore Idol 2009, THANK YOU FOR INVITING CHARICE to Singapore. :)
Though I was seated far away from the stage in the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the star presence from Charice Pempengco was able to drown me. I was screaming like a small kid who seen her favourite childhood superhero. Rather, I felt like one of those Micheal Jackson fan who would cry with a single stare into the eye. Ahhhh!
Whenever Gurmit Singh or the muttons mentioned her name, I would SCREAM, jump and clap my SI clappers continuously. Honestly, I was almost in tears when Charice sang. I was so touched, mesmerized by her performance! Ying Ying who was seated beside me said this: "Ok, Flora, you are scary!" Haha. I laughed. You should have really seen that sight of me. I was literally jumping on my seat. My mind was too starstruck to really sit back and listen to her. And I definitely annoyed the people around me with my incessant screaming, jumping and standing. Oops! Sorry.
You can tell how amazing a singer can be with just listening to the roaring cheers from the audiences. After performing a medley of songs (I have nothing and I will always love you). Charice had a standing ovation by all. A unanimous agreement from a 8 thousand strong crowd. As she belted out her last few notes, the number of people getting up from their seats just kept increasing. I apparently was jumping.
Note to God was amazing. I was singing along, swaying from side to side at my seat all the way back. I even shouted "Charice! I LOVE YOU!" Haha. So not me yeah? I'm amazed at how fan-gal I can be too.
If you do not know who is Charice Pempengco and have no clue why people like me will go Crazy over her. Just check these few videos out and you'll know why.
And yes. Needless to say, I'm buying her new album! :)
Her performance on Singapore Idol which made me went CRAZY!
Then theres her "Note to God"
Her first appearance - Star King in Korea
Then on Ellen Degeneres
And on Oprah!
Shes Just Amazing lah.
Oh. Did I mention that she is only 17 years old?! With a voice like that, the future of this girl is a priceless one. A gift from god.
And personally, I felt Sylvia should win the title of Singapore Idol. Oh well.

I was lucky to get hold of tickets to the Gala premiere of Bodyguards and Assassins last week. Thanks Xin Yi. :D
Bodyguards and Assassins AKA Shi Yue Wei Cheng is AMAZING! I absolutely LOVED the film and it's those kind where you'll keep talking and analyzing the movie with your friends after watching it.
The director, (Teddy Chan) producer ( Peter Chan) and casts (Fan Bing Bing and Tony Leung Ka-Fai) were down in Singapore to promote their film. As we were seated at B rows, I had a clear view of them! :D
I don't want to be a spoiler. So watch the movie if you have not! Jovis and I couldn't help talking about the film on our way back from Vivo. From the amazing set designs to the star studded casts, brilliant script with powerful punch lines (read from the papers that it has gone through about 1000 drafts!). It's fast-moving action/ fighting sequences with swift camera pans to capture every magical moment makes your eyes grow. Even the music, visual effect of this movie is near perfection.
What really amazes me is that its just about a group of bodyguards protecting Sun Yat-sen, a world leader that would lead them to a better democratic future of China from assassins in 1905 in Hong Kong. I mean, just a simple plot and it can last for about 2 hours?! Just this and it tells you how good this film is.
I think I might just purchase the DVD when it's out.
Apologies for the low quality. It's from my phone.
Have a wonderful day! I'm blasting my Christmas playlist. Woosh! Party yesterday was AWESOME! And presents to make my day. Haha.
Btw, I'm making some really cute christmas gift tags/cards! I'm proud of myself. Will show you the different cute designs later on. ( After intended receiver receives it. ;P)
Gotta collect the games from sis later on and my satay for party no. 2! :D
