for all those who watched Mamma Mia! i think this song is easily recognizable coz its the part where meryl streep helped her 'daughter', amanda seyfried. it almost moved me to tears. and.. i think that's one of my favourite parts of any wedding. the mother and daughter part, just before the daughter is about to get married. its so sweet. a sense of regret and loss, reminscent and in a way, letting go of the apron strings knowing the daughter's beginning a new chapter in her life.
Slipping Through My Fingers
DONNA:Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
With a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
DONNA & SOPHIE:
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
-DONNA:
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

DANCING QUEEN
by ABBA
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen
I JUST LOVE THIS SONG!!!
especially with meryl streep singing it.
actually those who sang in the movie Mamma Mia!,
hats off to them!
they did it really well!
to be honest, i liked theirs better than ABBA's original. =x
but i still loved ABBA's hits.
i grew up listening to them coz my daddy loves the oldies kind of music. xD

was supposed to go gym with michelle today. but then again, was so tired that i could barely rouse myself to sms her to postpone our gym date. ofc, she called me lazy la. -.- me lazy. riiiiiiight. i cant help it leh, Miss. lols.
and and and WJ surprised me today! coz we arranged an afternoon date to watch Mamma mia! or else he wont hear the end of it since i first announced that WE were going to watch it. hahha. okae, the surprise was he bought gold class tickets for us to go watch Mamma Mia! i was thrilled!
so we hadda cab down to vivo coz we were in a hurry. the movie was at 3.20 and i had just bathed and it was about 1.30 liddat? lols. naturally we suffered on the way there coz the cabbie either had super bad BO or he had literally shit himself.
omgomgomgomg. seriously, if i can afford, i'm never going back to the normal cinema seating again! its super plush in gold class. obviously me and WJ were practically kiddos since everyone else there had to be above 25 and working unlike us, students and temporarily employed. hahha.
then we ordered burger, popcorn and drinks from their menu. freaking expensive. -.- btw, GV's concession food standards has gone to the dogs. the salted popcorn tasted like cardboard. surprisingly their burger was really good (but naturally EXPENSIVE) and although WJ wanted to split another burger, i said no coz it was really ex.
the movie is SUPER AWESOME. apparently WJ and my mom were against it coz they kept repeating that it was given a poor review. well, those fuckers who reviewed it cant appreciate it! it was BREAHTAKINGLY MARVELLIUEX. =D tres bien! (i kept singing along with all the songs -i am so gonna buy the CD no matter how much the male actors' singing creeps me out) hahaha.

we are blur people. scurrying around vivo to get to the cinema. then when we arrive, still quite blur until the nice people who work there pointed out that we could just enter without any problem. hahha.

at work now. nothing much to say la. got into a bit of trouble at work yesterday so i was really upset and demoralized. wanted to quit since the beginning of the week but i think WJ likes it and it pays better than his previous job offer so i guess i'm gonna stick with it for awhile more. at least til the end of this month.
tonight gonna watch america's next top model and project runway. i think this season's project runway lacks pizazz sadly. =/
YAYAYAY. WJ promised to go with me to watch Mamma Mia! technically i just started to sulk and he gave in or else he'd had to face a whole week of me glaring at him at work. hahaha!

this is what me and WJ did after work on friday. haha. was really bored and super hyper (we had eaten a super sweet 'imperial red bean soup with rice cake' for lunch) i think it was more like i ate the super sweet red bean soup and jacky ate the rice cakes coz it was too sweet for his liking. lols.
so................. we had a mini-drawing competition. our conversation went something like this. haha.
laura - 'let's draw something!'
WJ- ok.
laura- umm.. draw what?
WJ- dog la.
laura- really? o.0 ooo~kay.
WJ- no, wait. draw rabbit!
laura (non-artistic me) - waa! so hard.
WJ- start arh.
laura - haaaaaaah. ok. -starts drawing-
okae. now everyone can compare and see whether mine or WJ's drawing is better.
AND THIS IS MY DRAWING.
okae. for those who know WJ, he's like a damn good artist la. i get F8. (oh ya, seriously, i had no idea why i chose art for my elective. even when i knew i couldnt draw for nuts) and he's the b3 sort of artsy-fartsy student.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND this is WJ's drawing.
------>
LOLs man. even my mom, who at first commented that surely WJ would win the drawing competition (we asked Christine to judge coz my mom didnt want to). and aunty Christine was stunned.
she later said her daughter, Ethel, could probably outdraw us. and judging by WJ's drawing, i dont doubt that. WAHAHHAHAH.
okae okae. WJ says go his blog to see his explanation -coughs *excuse* coughs- xD

i cant believe i forgot that today was my class bbq. -.- sighs. i thought it was like tomorrow or something and silly me went to work overtime.
i love my new dress! wore it to work today but kinda uncomfortable la. why is it that most of the singapore or chinese brands insist on making the boob area so tight and small? like HELLO~! not every person is part of the A or -A committee. i'm pretty sure there's a bigger percentage of girls (and some men -.-) who are a B or more -regardless if its real or pumped full of silicon. although mine wasnt that tight, it was more like suppressing. heh.

okae. this post is for sunday's avril lavigne concert. quite late i know but its the first chance i've gotten to actually upload the photos ever since that stupid virus.
.jpg)

the concert was AWESOME. the theatre was like totally packed except those lame restricted view seats. i think nobody's that desperate to buy those la. and like, i tried to buy souvenirs (like i always do for any concert i attend -music or otherwise) and seriously, everything was sold out before the concert even began!
so was quite disappointed when i wanted to buy the pink avril lavigne shirt. i had the black and white but i think pink (like my flag) was a more fitting tribute to her BEST DAMN TOUR concert.
anyways thank you WJ for helping take like 95% of the pictures while i was screaming/jumping/singing/waving light sticks and said pink flag. ahaha. he was terribly patient coz i practically ran to the souvenir stand the moment we got to the stadium and then i made him wait after the concert while i fought to get any last minute souvenirs but they were reserved in advance. unfair!
oh yeah. there was two opening acts. the first one was really good. its like something out of 'step up' -the movie. really really good lo. we were all cheering like mad. then the second one was a band with a singer that looked like an avril lavigne wannabe. you know, black dress with high tops. EVERYONE WAS SERIOUSLY UNIMPRESSED. but it was kinda humiliating that the audience all yelled 'NO!' (moi excluded though inwardly i had to agree) when she asked if they wanted to hear more. =x

aaaaaaaaaah. okay. my laptop had a virus so i couldnt post the past few days. super pissed off. and also.. heard that there's a case of sony vaio laptops overheating. hope mine isnt one from that particular batch! but on a good note, my mom's more convinced she should buy a cooling pad for my laptop. hahaha.
FRIDAY
slacked at home until WJ came. then rushed to his house. had to carry debbie's present there, so embarrassed to give her coz i couldnt wrap it coz of its unusual shape.
then cabbed down to WJ's grandma's house for the bbq. hiiiks. no comment about it.
played pool. ate. played with those sparklers stuff. haha. so funny. jordan likes to play with it but he's scared of it at the same time.
then around 9, we went back to the house to slack. then jordan decided WJ was the good korkor and aaron was the bad korkor. so he started attacking aaron with everything he could get his hands on -namely his pillows and toys.
gave debbie her present. and immediately she started eating the gummy bears out of the cute kitty cat container. then the boys started eating from it too. -.-
then finally left. the driver was pretty nice la. normally most taxi drivers would be grumpy coz they had to drive from sembawang all the way to marine parade area.

nothing much to blog about again. played mahjong until nearly 2am. was smsing WJ and michelle. then suddenly michelle called me while i was playing and to my surprise i won the game! hahha. good luck charm. xD
anyways. didnt do much today. coz went out for lunch then saw my relatives off from home coz parents were only dropping them off at the airport terminal then rushing back to work. so yeah.
finally WJ came over after like so so so so long. even my siblings miss his presence. hahha. then went down to parkway to buy a present for WJ's little cousin, Debbie. her bday party or bbq or whatever is on tomorrow. =D cant wait to see them. so unlucky lo. my little cousins tend to be from the outside the first level of relatives so i hardly see them.
forced WJ to see the doctor coz he's been feeling unwell. just caught the doctor in time! coz the clinic closes at 4pm and we arrived about 10mins before that. lol. kept reminding WJ to tell the doctor about his situation coz WJ is super blur about it. haha. not meaning to piss you off WJ but you really are.
anyway HAPPY 22month anniversary WJ. =D
