A Jolly Affair

Sesame Street was pretty much part of my childhood. These were my favourite characters!
Don’t the songs just make you happy?
*giggles*

“Like Father Like Daughter” is coming to an end soon and I’m so glad most of you enjoyed watching it. It’s very heart warming to know that we’ve managed to entertain all of you for the past month. Thank you so much for supporting the show!! Thought I’d pull out some of the pictures taken during production couple of months back for reminiscence sake.

《宝贝父女兵》快要结束了！这些照片是当时拍的，让我留下了非常美好的回忆。（多谢　“隆弟”　的摄影！）相信你们现在看这些照片也会觉得比较熟悉。嘿嘿！

星期一就大结局了，别错过了哦！

打成一片

亲爱的婆婆

“蟑螂摆尾”

婆婆说她也爱我！

可爱的Akira (真名Nelson, 华语名因为找不到汉字所以没写）
戏里面他唱的歌都是自创的！包括我在戏里轻唱的那首歌。

不难猜是谁吧！

The artist who drew all of Chun Chun portraits in the show actually cut this outline of me within 1 minute. So talented!!
画纯纯肖像的师傅帮我剪的。像纯纯吧！

承熹拿我没办法，只好跟长颈鹿扮鬼脸。

乘他没留意的时候。。。

他也会陪我胡闹，嘿嘿！
我是跳起来的，可是相机捕捉的我已经落地了。

Save the best for last!
最后肯定少不了漂亮可爱的“阿莲”（真名Jaclyn, pronounced jack-clean)

昨天的早报副刊写了关于环保的文章，而我提供的就是自己的环保袋。这些都是我从南非带回来的。我在那儿呆了两个星期，难免需要买一些日常用品和食物。那里的超市提供的塑胶带都要付钱，虽然收费不高，但是目的就是要环保。既然当地的人都自备环保袋，我这个游客也应该入乡随俗，所以就买了好几个，想想回来还可以用。回来之后，这里也开始掀起环保热潮，超市也开始推出自己的环保袋，所以也没有什么新奇的。不过我还是喜欢我的环保袋，因为颜色鲜艳，款式简单。照片里那个绿色的，可以装冰冻食物的，真的很方便。

Anya Hindmarch launched her own environmental friendly shopping bag “I’m Not A Plastic Bag” which got snapped up the moment it was launched. People didn’t mind being put on waiting list or paying above the market price just to get their hands on this bag. It is heart-warming to know so many people are supportive of this cause, but I can’t help but wonder if fashion pursuit is part of the reason for this enthusiasm.

Hmm, that spun off an idea! What if there was a “Design Your Own Bag” contest? Every participant has a plain white cotton bag where they can exercise their creativity, and the winning entries will be displayed at this “Save The Earth” roadshow (if there is going to be one). Otherwise, they can tie in with magazines to raise awareness too. Maybe put them up for exhibition, or auction or as contest prizes? And if the designs are not too difficult to replicate, perhaps it can even go into mass production.

I’ve seen t-shirts designed by famous people, canvas shoes painted by tertiary students, why not environmentally friendly bags too?　Maybe if using these bags actually become fashionable, people might be more willing to carry them around.

Hmm…food for thought!

特别喜欢这张，因为狗狗看起来好像有生命，很可爱！

我一直都想养宠物，只不过家里太多限制，所以还是不养的好。没有真的，只好用玩具来代替。不久前，我也养了一只Virtual Dog，那是在Nintendogs游戏里，而且恰好跟这只玩具的是一样品种和颜色。

虽然宠物可以给予人类无条件的爱，但是我深信人还是需要与人之间的爱。所以我很感激有很多好朋友在身边关心我，照顾我，还有细心的粉丝那么无条件地支持我，鼓励我。

没有小狗没关系，至少我还有你们。

Love ya all~!

真的病了！

在家里休息了一整天，有好多了。谢谢你们的关心和嘱咐，我会多喝水ok?

躺在床上睡睡又醒醒，好不容易看完了由权相宇主演的韩国电影 “Running Wild”.　除了两位男主角卖力的演出之外，觉得没什么看头。故事没有香港的　《无间道》精彩，人物也没有“Daisy”那么细腻，拍摄手法好像有一点怪怪的。

不仅因为他长的帅我才爱看他的戏，我也很好奇他怎么把自己在每一部戏里都变个样。毕竟男人不像女人，可以有千变万化的造型，在化妆，发型，服装方面都比较有选择。老实说他在这部电影里并没有把我迷倒，但在人物，造型方面却有些不同。他的皮肤黑了些，头发乱了点，留了胡须，整个人看上去一点都没有《悲伤恋歌》里那苦情小子样。感觉他的内心戏的演出方式大同小异，不过他在这部戏里很放，让我觉得这个人怎么这么烦，动不动就要打人。嘿嘿，那他应该算成功啦，让我又爱又恨！

哎呀说了这么多，头又开始疼了。可能是药物开始起作用了。

大家晚安！

Just writing to update all my dear fans about the “hey hey, yah yah” song a lot of you are asking about on the tag board. I asked the sound engineer and he said it is made up of of a few songs, created specially for this show, so it will not be available anywhere else except the sound effects library at MediaCorp.

Hee hee, suspense over. Can sleep better?

I think I’m going to fall sick. Sigh, I can feel it in the back of my throat. Tomorrow is an ULTRA long day and I’m so in need of sleep. Will update again soon.

To all of you with love.

记得以前有个朋友说，女孩子真麻烦，买花给她，又嫌浪费钱，不买花给她，又说他不浪漫。哈哈，是哦，口是心非嘛！既然有这样的烦恼，我就建议他不要爱女人咯，反正现在的社会那么开放。嘿嘿！

不过话说回来，给我选，我宁愿男人不懂送花，可是忠厚老实，也不希望他油腔滑调，花言巧语。毕竟花久了会凋谢，可是诚意是一辈子的基础。

今天特别累，头也有点阵痛，所以还是早点睡咯！大家晚安，梦里见！

Heavily pregnant in the drama “A Path Of Gold”

I love our airport!

We were filming one short scene at Terminal 2 yesterday and I come to appreciate how bright and clean and orderly our airport is.

Whenever I travel, I realise there is so much to do inside the departure hall, my only gripe is not having enough time to do so before the plane takes off. Not that I’ve been anywhere recently, and neither do I have the impulse to travel at the moment.

As much as we’ve got a beautiful airport, it’s a place I don’t always feel very good about. Whether I’m there to travel, to send someone off or to pick someone home, the emotional turbulence I have to go through each time doesn’t make me like being there.

I’m the sort of the person who wants to travel, but when I know I’m going to be leaving home, I start to lose all excitement. That is not to say I don’t enjoy my trips, but I guess maybe our airport is too homely, it makes leaving difficult.

If I’m there to send someone off, needless to say, this person means a lot to me. And usually it also signifies absence for an extended period of time. Parting is painful and on days like that, the airport always seems colder than usual.

When someone is coming back, the wait at the arrival hall always makes me dizzy with anticipation. I’m happy the person is coming back, yet sometimes the dynamics are a little awkward, because it’s been too long since we last met.

So you see, while I am proud of our airport, its facilities and infrastructure, it is also a place that stirs up a concoction of feelings I don’t derive anywhere else.

昨天我们黄家办喜事，我还是第一次下跪敬茶。

结婚会被称为喜事我想代表着那应该是件快乐的事，不过要把一生寄托给另外一个人，然后长乡厮守还真是有一点让人害怕。

以前小时候，我希望自己在二十四岁结婚，因为我喜欢恋爱，也喜欢过安定的生活。
现在当然不可能二十四岁结婚啦，问我什么时候我也不敢说。思想成熟之后，越多顾虑，越多负担，越多自己规律的习惯，要和一个人一起生活，白头偕老，就变得更难。

这不代表我不想结婚。只是没有对婚姻抱着任何憧憬。对我来说，家庭排第一，工作排第二。我还是比较传统，喜欢安分的守护家庭。工作也只不过是为了让自己的脑筋灵活，不要与世隔绝，而不是为了证明什么。不过话虽然这么说，但是我相信夫唱妇随，所以要知道我的造化，就也得看我嫁的是个喜欢不抛头露面的贤妻良母，还是拥有自己事业的现代女性。

哎！反正感情的事可欲不可求，等时机到再看风使舵吧！

到处都要贴上双喜

可爱的大哥

笑的多灿烂的妈妈，和背后的“阿燕姐”

和我一起下跪的新郎

大哥还真会找镜头！

Nat actually said this picture is typical of post-marriage syndrome. Haha!

Which brings me to share, the other day, someone told me she ran away before she got married. I didn’t used to understand why, because I’ve always wanted to get married at 24, and have babies before I turn 28, so that by the time my kid is 20, I’m only 48. Plenty of energy left to sit back， relax and enjoy old age. But these days, I realised that somehow getting married loses that wholesome appeal once you pass a certain age and that it can be quite nerve-wrecking to bind yourself to someone for the rest of your life.

My ex-college school mate got married on July 7th and I was truly happy for her. But before all the congratulatory hugs, I asked her how did she know for sure?
Suddenly, getting married at 24 seemed too early.
She shared that when they’ve come full circle, ultimately the security and comfort from someone you have been with long enough is good enough reason.

I guess it’s nice to know there’s someone who’d always be there for you “to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish ’till death do [them] part”.
