Love Never Dies finally made its debut, and a finale is set for one of the most beautifully bittersweet musicals ever.

Despite scheduled for a later date, it had opened tonight in London West end, and the album is out, which I heard was yesterday.

What awesome birthday present (ahem, I still did receive a present from an old friend, whom I forgot to prepare a birthday gift for, since a fellow Piscean, *utterly embarrassed* so I don’t care it is over!). *BEAMS*

I don’t really care what the critiques said! *Twiddles thumb* If only I have a ticket to it. From what I have seen and read so far, the costumes are amazingly vibrant, and just a burst of pretty colours, definitely more rah-rah than its predecessor.

Now, can’t wait for Chicago to open locally, and when the Lion King takes stage at Marina Bay Sands.

On a side note, it could have been quite a fabulous Wednesday.

But I know I am just knackered.

Minibean, old friends, pole practise (finally made it to pole practise ONCE), L4D2 Expert mode (okay, we are NOT there yet), good food, albeit a bit disappointed when TWG ran out of scones. BAH.

I even blogged. Twice in a span of 24 hours.

I am making good progress here!

It was a fabulous, fabulous end to the week, which saw me turning a year older and feeling nothing about it. I had even wished it would be my 30th!

The feel good factor is still lingering on despite that I should be severely PMSsy, and the aches are fatigue have yet to wear off.

But I am indeed buzzing from this feel-goodness, and wonder when the flow of the crimson tide is gonna destroy all these.

It seems like this month (or years, or decades,or forever as people had sent their well wishes for) is indeed going to carry on with this positive note with the agendas on the schedule.

And this week, is finally the week that I am looking forward to… because it will be my “favourite people” week. Which I would get to see my dad back from his trip, and a whole lot of other people closer to my hearts…

Why not before my birthday? I scared the rejection or if anything went wrong then I will be stabbing myself in the chest over the weekend what! And I wouldn’t survive to see me getting older (like it is a joy to become a prune!).

Okay, I am in a slight daze in this state of fatigue, it might not make sense to anyone, including myself.

Anyway, I am saying this explains why it will be a busy week.

Which is perhaps I haven’t got the chance to thank some people personally, or blog or to remember how this weightlessness of pure, unadulterated joy feels like.

And now, as I always wonder, when am I gonna crash from this high?

Apologies to the down time, this hosting issue is getting annoying and besides me, quite a handful of other bloggers are facing the same problem.

Bah.

Nonetheless, it is a real bummer cos I got the “feeling” back to recap a pretty relaxing and enriching start to 2010.

Uhm, as well as the last half of December 2009.

But now, I am just happy to watch Manchester United play from the comfort of my bed (th0ugh I could imagine being raped by the hordes if I had turned up at the opposing team’s home town if I cheered).

I joked to Jay that I ain’t making my way down (when the match just started) cos I was afraid I might miss the goals Manchester United was going to score soon.

Shortly after, woohoo, they did.

I joked I ain’t gonna risk missing 2nd half goals to make my way down, and I am real smart to stay put.

WOOHOOOOO.

So much to catch up hor?

Like many other things I set out to do I only completed 1/4.

It has been a lovely week. More to accomplish in the next!

I have so many things to update before the new year starts, which I am “quite” determined to improve wholesomely.

Like really, many many many many many many many things man!

How was your Christmas?

I realise counting my blessings really works wonders as I wrap my year up, and not having expectations of it all, had made the Christmas a fabrilliant (what’s with me coining new terms these days?) one.

It might not be the company, but it could well be a change of heart.

Like, dance. Let go and dance.

It has been quite a blast for the past few days, and I am not sure if words could ever describe it, and it is even stranger when I succumbed to a bad flu (which I believe Minibean had passed on to me) and had my taste bud nipped.

It sent my temperature soaring, but it didn’t stop me from venturing out and made the best of Christmas. I might be too stoned out to show how much I enjoy my Christmas, but I want to thank everyone.

Even those I didn’t manage to meet up over Christmas. Somehow, knowing you guys are there with your SMSes, are really awesome enough.

I used to think Christmas should only be fun if it goes according to how and what I want it to be, and I could choose my companions…. I know I ain’t gonna have my wish fulfilled this year, and truth to be told, I was a little reluctant and apprehensive.

But I guess, somehow, the peace was brought to me, and I enj0yed myself thoroughly this Christmas. Simple, no raves, no parties, and I found myself, being myself.

Now with the fever coming back with a vengeance, I doubt I could do this post justice, and do much updates. I had wanted to use what is left of the year to clear all the posts I have been meaning to blog, but I think it is pretty impossible with the airy-ness in my head, no thanks to a badly congested nose.

Yes, with all these bad flu, I ended up wanting to venture out cos I just didn’t want this joy and positivity to stop.

How to explain huh? I don’t know. But, one day, I will get there.

I hope everyone had a blessed, blessed Christmas and enjoy what’s left of 2009.

I know how I lamented how I don’t look forward to Christmas, but the little girl within me cannot be denied.

The mood is growing on me, and I went shopping without a care for my bank account in the world, because I still believe giving is the best feeling in the world in a time like this.

I know this hasn’t been a good year for many people, especially people around me, and perhaps, I think everyone deserves to be reminded they are not forgotten and very much loved.

I try not to peek into my statements.

I can’t perhaps fulfill wishes with my limitations, but I still hope to bring a little, uh, hope and happiness?

It is not meant to sound like holy damn good or wah-she-so-nice way, but you know, sometimes you just feel like how you remember the last time someone made you feel this way, and you think what great joy it is, and you just want to pass this blessing on?

Christmas is like finally wrapping the year up, and a time to celebrate the good, and perhaps, mellow the bad so that the next year could be looked upon with plenty of hope.

It was a nice feeling to be darting in and out of shops and getting something that you hope and think someone will like, yet a bit apprehensive if the person will feel obligated to like it?

Aiyah, it’s the thought that counts lah.

Nonetheless, shopping is a freaking bitch. 2 hours of walking and shopping is enough to drain me of ALL the energy, and I can’t understand how people derive great joy from it.

So tiring until can die!

Hello? Online shopping is the way to go!

And now with the mood growing on me, I can’t wait to go out and live the next couple of weeks

Good news? I am getting my VS loots tonight! Woohooooooo!

Plenty of awesomeness.

I wish everyone plenty of joy, plenty of hope for this Christmas, and it is often the most simple things in life, like a game of mahjong last year, a friend who remembers you, a great clique of friends to hang out with that would bring greatest satisfaction, and it doesn’t need to be plenty of partying to bring that. So to those who complained to me that they never got invited to parties, hey, really, it is the company that really matters and a quiet night in will surprise you

Me?

I am spending it with Minibean in less than ideal ways, but still, with Minibean around, that’s all it matters right?

Have a great Christmas eve everyone

Merry, merry Christmas.

Time to change to head out.

Gee. Did I forget to do some wrapping? Darn.

Just a tip: When shopping for wrapping paper, do remember to read the fine prints! Someone bought 2 gifts for his male colleagues, and when I saw the packaging, I burst out laughing.

It read sentimentally: I will love you forever, and more than anything else in the world.

How, uhm, touching.
