Harlem Gospel Choir @ 3:36 PM

I've always wanted to watch a Gospel Choir live, though I know it kinda contradicts with my religion, but I always see in movies, the church scenes

where there'll be a black choir singing on stage and it seems so much fun.

Like that Whoopi Goldberg movie in the 90's.

Well I get to experience it today and no, I didn't go to a church.

The world famous Harlem Gospel Choir came all the way from the US to perform in RP Studio. Since Khairul wanted to watch it too, we went there.

Right from the beginning, the choir was really passionate and soulful. They got the crowd standing, dancing and clapping. I have to say, I have never clapped so much in my life! Almost every song we were clapping, 2 hours straight!

But it was fun though. They sang some familiar songs and interacted with the crowd. It felt like I was at a church on Sundays with all the Hallelujah and Jesus. Haha. At some point, I felt like I was betraying my own religion and wondered if this is a sin.

Khairul told me lucky Sue didn’t join us cause if she come, sing-sing,

then afterwards go for madrasah, like contradicting. Haha, true.

They end off with a MJ song, We are the world, which most of us knew the lyrics.

We finally tried the double quarter pounder. I love it cause I’m a double cheeseburger fan and making it fatter means making me happier!

And all these while, I never knew you can actually order extra cheese for your burger.

Khairul just told me that. Wish I knew it sooner.

Chicago @ 4:26 PM

I was supposed to watch Chicago with someone else but he had work.

So I watched with Khairul instead.

It was a last minute thing cause we bought the tixs like 4 days before the show.

I was soo excited also because it's my first time watchin at Esplanade, normally at Indoor Stadium.

We reached Esplanade on the last call for the show.

Thank god we could still enter cause I know Esplanade is quite strict bout their shows.

It was a blessing in disguise too cause our seats were upgraded

from the 4th floor to the 1st floor.

Both of us we like grinning, actually more like I was, don't know bout Khairul,

or maybe he was showing internally.

We had a really good view of the stage.

The stage was quite small surprisingly.

A very funny and yet sexy show.

The guys were super hot with their bare chested abs & extremely tight pants.

The girls were equally sexy with corsets, panty hose & heels.

With a live band & amazing vocals, we were all entertained.

After the show, we went shopping at Raffles City and Orchard.

Bought a book & mag at Kinokuniya, Levi's bag to replace my almost koyak school back,

Chicago tee, New Look tee.

I didn't intend to spend much but luckily I had some vouchers to use.

Total = $211.30 includin my tix.

I went home a happy girl.

What A Day @ 11:32 PM

I had an unbelievable day.

In the morning, on my way to work, I took the usual 961.

An old lady sat on my right halfway through the journey.

I'm talkin like really, crinkled old.

But at that point I didn't realise cause I was drowned away by my music and book.

Upon reaching Bukit Timah, the bus made a (maybe sharp) left turn.

And to my horror, the old lady lost her balance and

LITERALLY FELL & KNOCKED HER HEAD!!

It was like in slow motion the moment she fell off.

The China couple behind me and I quickly helped the old lady up.

But I was like afraid to touch cause she seemed so fragile.

The China guy shouted at the bus driver to stop.

At that point, I saw that the old lady's head was bleeding!!

I was like FREAKING OUT!

People were offering their tissues to her.

I immediately exchanged place with her so that I would seat at the outer seat.

I was beginning to feel emotional but I controlled.

I've always have a soft spot for the elderly.

Of course the bus driver called the ambulance but I left before it came

since I was already 15mins late for work.

I wouldn't know what happened to the old lady after that but I hoped she's alright.

I was still in a state of shock at work.

I'll never ride 961 the same way again cause

I would always be reminded of that incident.

The scene replaying at that particular seat.

It's like a phobia whenever I see old people.

Then at work, something hilarious happened

but I can't say it cause it'll ruin MJ's rep.

Met my grandma and cousin after work at CWP.

Had dinner at Banquet.

After that, we wanted to go to the toilet and suddenly I suggested

if we wanna catch a movie.

My grandma was like really?

Haha. So cute.

So end up we watched REC 2 based on impulse.

Sis joined us for the movie and it was her first M18 movie,

watchin with grandma and me!

Hehe.

REC 2 is actually the second part of Quarantine, in Spanish.

It's better with more camera angles and zombie effects.

It has a bit of humor too.

Should go and catch it.

My Rating: 4/5.

Freestyle Run @ 12:11 AM

I joined the Starhub Urban Freestyle Run with Khalee.

It's actually a 6.5km Freestyle run with 9 different obstacles.

I planned to warm up by running 2 days before but that didn't happened.

So basically, I suddenly ran 6.5km after months of not running(other than running for the bus).

Halfway, I was like what did I get myself into.

I stopped a couple of times and

I pity my friend who has to lower his pace cause of me.

It was a good experience cause its not like a normal marathon.

And I've always wanted to try something like this.

So it was good fun.

Oh, and I like the goodie bag cause it's an Adidas tote bag.

And now I'm suffering cause my legs and arms hurt.

The Forty-second @ 9:47 PM

Mum turned 42 today.

The day started with a dental appointment for my sis near SGH at 9am.

She's gonna get her braces soon.

Then it's off to KK Hospital for my doctor appointment.

I'm finally discharged but I'm kinda sad cause I'll miss going to KK.

Lucky we finished everything by 1pm and we headed to Far East for our lunch.

Before we even step out of Ion, we were already shoppin.

Up till now, I've yet to fully explore Ion.

We bought stuffs from Levi's, Bershka, New Look.

I didn't even intend to go shoppin but u know,

once you're in the shop and something caught your eye, u tend to give in.

Haha.

Bout 3 hours later, then we had our lunch at Ramen Ten.

The food was not bad.

I liked it.

It has been a long time since we had our girls day out.

It's nice to go out just the three of us without my dad once in a while.

HAPPY 42ND BIRTHDAY MAMA!

LOVE YOU!
