HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HUA!

Its been one hell of a weekend, but let me start with Wanhua's Birthday first. Many thanks to Chris who managed to organise this thingie & pull it off successfully! Thanks for bringing us to HelioCafe too. Which serves fabulous food! :) You'll see the dessert pictures later. Unfortunately, we were too hungry (& too greedy) and thus i dont have any pictures of our starter & main courses. We were well-stuffed though. The food is really really good. Havnt had such a satisfying meal in ages. Lunch lasted me till Midnight that day (because we were too busy running around & filming on Sunday).

Blurrr picture, but i still like the look of it.
Mad & I kissing Wanhua (the birthday girl).
Here's wishing you a sweet 20th!
Hope you like your presents. Haha. *wink*

This warm chocolate cake was not only WH's Birthday cake,
It was the HIGHLIGHT of the meal.
Gosh, it was soooooo nice.
Its full of authentic chocolate flavour and its not too sweet.
Apparently its sugarless because the sweetness is only from the chocolate.
The texture was crumbly and moist at the same time!

Look closely.
Now DROOL.

Mango flan cake i think.
A little too sweet for my liking, but it was still enjoyable.

This is like an angmoh glamourised version of the 汤圆 filling!
Its sesame seed paste + peanut butter mousse i think.
Lovely presentation, but not my kind of thing.

So that was my Sunday Lunch. Sunday Morning was spent travelling to JasonGabe's house to do our Breakfast scene for CT. Haha. Then after a few shots, we went back to school. I was charging my handphone at the Sess benches near MrBean, then this dude on the other bench came over to talk to me. He's called Lawrence, hes 28 years old & hes from the Bahamas! All the way from those idyllic sunny islands to our sunny island here. I really wonder what made it so attractively to him. He told me he really appreciated its small land area which makes commuting around town very convenient. I suppose I take it for granted now. (& I bet he thinks I complain too much. Haha.) In fact I'm reluctant to travel to the East if u asked me to. Haha. He also said hes gonna study or work here. Blah blah & he thought I was 22/23 because I looked that old. Haha. Thanks. So far from what I've gathered, I either look like a kiddo, or i look like I'm 20odd. Not bad at all. Anyway it was really fun talking to him, we had this whole inter-cultural communication thing going, u know?

After lunch, i rushed to Groove Dance Studio for 3 classes straight. I almost died. Advanced bachata first. Then the super killer Reggaeton! It's fast, fun, energetic & tribal. I really like it, but i think i look like an idiot doing it. By the time I went for Salsa shines & styling, I was so dead I couldnt do double spins properly.

Next after all that, I rushed back to school to continue filming. We did an evening post-dinner-date stroll at Chijmes, which featured an argument scene with myself & Noel in it. Hahaha. It was really hilarious to make because Noel looks suppppeeeerrrrrrr nice & instead of him being the unreasonable ass-hole boyfriend, I think I'll do better bullying him. But he can do the part of an abusive bf cause he threw the keys at me too enthusiastically accidentally which bruised & cut my ankle. Haha. After more scenes, we flew to Changi to Joe's friend house to do the gay bar scenes. Due to Joe's terrible sense of direction, we went from Changi to Tanah Merah to Pasir Ris to some god-forsaken place.

We were planning to visit Taboo at first, but due to the lack of funds (cover charge of 24bucks!!!), we had to change our plans. That castle we visited was damnnnnn creepy. It was eerily quiet, extraordinarily ULU & in 90% darkness. We had fun scaring ourselves in the full-length mirror along this dusty & dim corridor though. In fact, I was pretending to be the star of the horror movie. Hurhur. So eventually this action ended at 11pm and i got home close to midnight.

On saturday itself, we had already started filming at 8+am at Marina Bay MRT. I think its a really novel idea to poledance in the MRT, which was what I did. Haha. A little exhibitionist streak in me probably, even though I was a little paiseh at the same time. Nevertheless its cool, heck those people who were staring! Hurhur. I enjoy CT & my group members' company, but its really tiring to have it at this time of the year.

On the topic of CT, my CT class today was unusual. Kwang made us do his SMU StarSearch. So the characters I've played today include a Bellydancer with an uncontrollable Itch. Haha. it was really unglam doing that one. I also played a Jane who was being held by a grizzly bear (Suffian), and then i was rescued by Tarzan (Young). Hahaha. Apparently they found my chest not ample enough to be Jane. Haha. BOO! If I had sat next to Dixi or Young ( They were planning to sit on my left so that they can instruct me to do stuff.), my fate would have been worse. Haha.

Lastly, Poledance. Arghhhh... I'm so disappointed with my progress for that. I've been having quite a few problems learning the tricks, especially the inverted swing & the cradle. I get tired really quickly and then my muscles go lazy. I wont be able to climb properly, I cant do the boomerang & carousel nicely too. :( And poledance HURTS LIKE HELL. Fire doesnt even burn this bad i think. Haha, okay nevermind. I'll keep trying, its an addiction which i have a love-hate relationship with. Wish me luck. I'm hoping its not one-sided.
