How do you differentiate between opera or musical?
Here's what I've found out and putting it in layman terms...
Opera uses music to tell the entire story, even when two actors are speaking to each other, they use lyric and music to express...
Musical is plainly using music as background of the story... they also sing some parts of it, but also have some normal conversation speaking moments...
Recently have been a little artsy... I listened to this great Boston channel on classical music and their website has this recorded opera singing on "Madame White Snake". Feel free to listen to it...
Someday I should spend my time and money to go watch an opera...

The History of me and SE
Me started knowing SE in 2003..
and ever since then, we were never apart...
hehe...
what were u thinking?
SE is Sony Ericsson... haha
My first SE:T100
My dad bought this cute little blue display submarine guy when I first entered university...
He's been with me from 2003-2006...
Talk about first love...
I've started to fell in love with SE.
My second SE:K750i
It was my last day of industrial attachment with the company and I was so determined to use my last paycheck to buy this camera phone :)
So memorable...
and it's still in use now... not by me though...
talk about the durability... :D
My third SE:W910i
Due to some reason, I needed to change my hp number. So might as well change to a new hp right?
I've wanted to try out a new walkman series... And also I've always wanted to try out the sliding phone as well...
Ta-Dah!
I've chosen this one...
Still ok-ok... though sometimes I've been abusing it when my hands are itchy and keep sliding it on and off... my bad...hehe
And this June, I'm so gonna change to smartphone...
Yea... everybody's been owning an iPhone these days...and heard that it's coming out a new one this June...but then, it's too much when u see almost everyone has it... nah... I want something different...something out of the ordinary...
My heart is still with SE...
SE going to launch out this one pretty soon:
Introducing XPERIA X10!!!
uber cool!!!
4 inch screen, SE 1st android phone, 8MP camera...
so wanna have this one... hope it's not that sluggish...

And I don't think it's cheap :(
Gotta save save save!!! but how to save?? when this coming month got...hmm...let me see...1..2..3..4..5..6..7..OMG!! 7 ppl birthday??

Saturday Hang Out @ The Central
Spent the whole saturday afternoon at Clarke Quay The Central.
Met my usual buddies for lunch there. One of the buddies recommended the expensive Japanese ramen, which was really like Maggi Mee. Haha. But the taste was not bad, the soup was thick with lots of ingredient mixed to get the taste. I tried Aka Ramen which they stated have 7 nuts mixture in the soup. But it was really expensive for a bowl of noodles. It costs $15 for a bowl.
After the lunch, we went for shopping there. One of the buddies had costume party that evening and looking for some accessories. The shops there doesn't seem to have lots of business, especially when it was a saturday. And some of the shops were not fully occupied as well. It's like last time Berjaya Times Square shopping mall in KL. Anyway, most of us bought something for ourselves. Hehe... I bought a few pairs of earrings, dangling ones. It was cheap, $1.60 per pair. Bought in bulks are cheaper, especially sharing with friends.
After that, we hang out at TCC for some coffee break. Had Oreo Mocha Frappe (can't remember the full name, but the name definitely starts with Oreo and ends with Frappe. haha) with vanilla ice-cream topping. Shared a few cakes with friends. Marble cheesecake was my favorite. We also ordered Devil's Chocolate and Green Tea cake. Had some talk with friends 'coz they curious about the drama that happened to me lately. Anyway, the place that we hanged out was cozy and definitely have the ambience there. So, go check it out that place. Though the tables are abit high for such low sofas, but still the place is very very nice.
Still walking around after the coffee break. After that, I went back home and wanted to take a look at Ipanema sandals at JP. No discounts for the one I intended to have. $19.90 for the normal ones. Still decided that go back Malaysia and hoping for some discounts there. haha...
And for today, lazy Sunday. Lazing around at home :p

Weekend Shopping Spree
*wink wink* hehe...
Spent my weekend on shopping spree with mom and sis...
Finally got something that I was looking for my birthday present...
Bought 2 pairs of earrings, 2 pairs of jeans, one T-shirt and one pair of shorts...
Thanks sis for the jeans as my birthday present :)
Well, strike off some of my birthday wishlist...
And now, gotta save a little bit because this month overspend a little already...
Will be going back home often lately and need to save some money for my best friends' wedding...
Hmm.. speaking of shopping, we saw an old man who was like 70 years old, limping while walking, with 2 young chinese ladies, probably in their 30s. The two ladies were busy choosing their shopping stuff while the old man tagged along with them from behind and helped them to pay at the cashier counter. I just pity that old man. Why would he fell into this situation? It's like a trap to him and yet he fall for it. Imagine that he had his own family wife and children at home waiting for him or his family situation is not that well-off... but he spend his money on these chinese girls and not his family. Just pathetic. And furthermore, these chinese girls just wanted his $$. But then, couldn't blame them, could we? This is what called as “你情我愿”or "give and take".
I just felt that sometimes people can be quite stupid, okay stupid is quite a strong word. People can be quite blind and obsessed with what they are into. That's why we don't act rationally sometimes. There's always feelings inside people that they act irrationally. "Go with your heart" saying is a definite no. Although sometimes the advice is like that. But I think we must always go with your brains and act with your wisdom. In the end, there will be fruitful result once you acted with your wisdom.
Let's work hard in attaining our own wisdom and not be blinded by your heart. Of course not blacken your heart. If not you will become a heartless person. haha
