剃头刀

16 March

As usual I caught this with Min on friday nite, its certainly one of the better play we caught this year so far. It makes me reminisce the time where my mum will bring to me to watch Chinese opera with her at the streets of bugis where my childhood used to be. One thing that touches me was that Mr Koh Boon Teck could blend the love for his mum and his arty passion in this production. There is more to this play which my limited vocabs can comment on.



I can only just say that titoudao is worth catching it, pls do catch it and its running till 31st March. Oh, ya need 80% proficiency in hokkien to truly enjoy it and i believe CAB will have no problem in it.

I love road trips, i will juz fiddle with the ipod select tunes which we can sing or shout out loud to, find nostalgic tunes to talk abt, some songs will juz remind ya of diff stages and gals of the life. The silent moments which i will reflect back on my life. The stop over on mackers for honey mustard chicken wraps.

A simple house with a simple life. I wish.

I love the view from the top of windham, very breathtaking.


Dan in 'cooler' moments

Haiz, wish ya were here.

Went to three different outlet mall and the greatest haul was from this outlet at NJ.

On the way back on one of the many bridges linking to Manhattan.

Feb 24th

Back at Camelbak for the last runs of the season and this is where the only encounter I had with an asian opposite gender for the whole of the trip. Its juz only me and her up the ski lift and i broke the ice by asking where she is from. Shes says she's local but resides in Shanghai most of the time and then i start to converse with her in mandarin. She speaks perfect mandarin and she ask which slope will i go , told her tat i am trying out the terrain. She says she heading there too. Cool. We got off the lift and went our separates ways. While queuing up for the lift again after the run, I bump into her again and she says she saw me crashing while attempting the 2nd slope. I tried to impress her by telling her its my only couple of times riding and that i came from sg where there is no snow. But she seems nonchanlant abt it. We were in the same lift again and we chat more this time. The best thing is tat i didnt get her name throughout and her age but i reckon she is 24 years my junior! ha.... regret not taking any pics with her. btw she real cute for her age.


Till the next season, see ya!
Feb 25th
Got an early flight to catch back home and we barely catch a wink before Ah Zhi send me to JFK. Thanks ya Dan for the hospitablity and everything for making this a nice trip for me.

On the way back enroute at Land of rising sun. Cant wait to get back to work and the regular sat beach-volley gang.
