anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn’t he danced his did
Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain
children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more
when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone’s any was all to her
someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then) they
said their nevers they slept their dream
stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)
one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was
all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.
Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain
(the poem that 小静 and Rose recited)

Ichiban Boshi @ Velocity
Was starving after the workout and 15 shots at archery so ordered the Sukiyaki Zen set. Also shared soft shell crab tempura which was ordinary.
But my jaw almost dropped when i saw my Sukiyaki set. The set comprises of claypot beef with assorted vegetables and mushrooms, a small portion of udon, appetiser, 4 slices of salmon sashimi, miso soup with an enormous serving of kelp, rice and 2 slices of watermelon. Not to forget a raw egg dip for the beef. The portion is BIG! Enough to feel two girls!
Special mentions:
Sashimi - very fresh, thick and crunchy! oishii!
Sukiyaki - the beef was very tender and succulent. my only "beef" (pun intended. :D) was that the slices are cut too longish and the whole lump was dumped into the pot before serving. i had to take out the whole chunk of beef before it was overcooked and became tough. it might be better if it was like the beef kaminabe that my friend ordered where she did the "cooking" herself. The soup was a little salty. Other than that, I really could not find any other fault in the food today.
Cost of the Set: $15.90 ++
Satisfaction on my face after finishing the set minus half a bowl of rice: Priceless! :)

Archery @ Velocity Novena
Tried out archery in the mall! yeap! that's right! no typo mistake. We were surprised to see this indoor archery range while walking around the mall after gym. With just $20 spending at the mall, you can have 5 shots. We simply grabbed the chance to try it out! Archery happens to be one of the items under my endless want-to-try list! My very first shot was a bulls-eye! Hehe! Robin Hood in the making i thought! :P but sad to say that the rest of my 14 shots were dismal.... guess its only beginner's luck ba..... had thought it might be similar to air-rifle.... but then it's been ages since my shooting days too... and after my workout too.... arms aching... haa.........
i think velocity is trying to build up its image as a sports niche. there's going to be a beach festival from 5-9 sept where they'll bring sand to the mall to play beach volleyball! yup! there's really nothing they can't do! after the wrestling in cocoa powder, archery and beach volleyball! lol. i guess the management is trying very hard to bring in the crowds.

Movie "881"
a roller coaster ride of emotions... filled with fun, laughter and tears. i enjoyed myself thru the movie. a pity on the handling of emotions though... the build-up to the ending was a little too rushed imo... i was like "huh? ended le??" hee.... overall, go in and enjoy the elaborate costumes, glittery sets, getai songs and the hokkien jokes.

《天冷就回来》 If There're Seasons...
赞。非看不可！
我的第一部本地音乐剧。真的让我大跌眼镜, 喜出望外。故事的每一首歌都丝丝入扣，拉住我的心旋，让我跟着音乐旋律，演员的生动表情一起起伏不定，紧紧地扣住了我的心窝！《天冷就回来》是一部值得捧场的新加坡舞台剧。值回票价！
故事的灵感来自于梁文福的一首《天冷就回来》。音乐剧的每一首歌都是由梁文福写的。每首歌都钩起了许许多多的回忆！如果你生长在80，90年代，你一定不会对这些耳熟能详的歌感到寞生。
A musical feast that captures your heart, a lyrical journey beyond imagination! I didn't expect the show to be so good! MUST WATCH! I love all the songs in this musical. Superb acting by the cast! The main characters are very good! I was very impressed by George Chan (perhaps better recognised for being one of the judges on the Dance Floor competition). Excellent diction, great singing. But the best performance has to go to Joanna Dong as Cat and Water! Really impressed by her expressive body language! Hurry go grab your tickets now! The musical runs till 2 Sep 07. Don't miss it!
Oh ya. Feeling nostalgic and having thoroughly enjoyed myself, I bought a collection of songs by 梁文福 autographed by the man himself! :)

A-Mei - 如果你也听说
My fav A-Mei song in years. Frankly, her songs in the last few albums really cannot make it!
