OMG… I wonder how long have I not been updating haven, not to mention visiting it. See… the whole list of tags that I haven’t reply… OMG… I’m really sorry, my friends. Common tests, job auditions, performances and a whole bunch of stuffs shagged me a lot. Finally, I get to update a bit about what I’ve been through lately…

What a mistake?!
One day (16^th May, if I’ve not mistaken) when I was on the way to Marina Square for my job audition, I saw this advertisement at the Raffles Place MRT station which caught lotsa my attention. I managed to snap a shot before the train leaves the station. This is an advertisement put up by the Singapore National Leukemia Fund to raise awareness of people about the illness leukemia.

Please pay attention to the second line of the advertisement, namely, 与您拼肩抗战血癌. Anyone noticed the errors? Firstly, the 拼. If I’m not wrong, the person meant 并肩 which means cooperate or work together. Using the wrong word made the pronunciation seriously distorted from ‘bing jian’ to ‘pin jian’. Secondly, the phrase 抗战. The phrase ‘kang zhan’ means resisting aggression. However, it cannot be used before a noun, e.g.: 抗战病魔, kang zhan bing mo (resisting/fighting illness) and 抗战敌军, kang zhan di jun (resisting/fighting enemy). Literally, it may seem okay but for those who know Chinese Language, you guys will definitely find it weird to read and phrase this way. It is in fact a grammatical error in Chinese. The correct way I suggest to put it would be 对抗血癌, dui kang xie ai which also means resist or fight leukemia.
Lol… Have I been too busy body to comment on these stuffs? I hope I’m not, to you.

One Night in Japan…
On the 20^th of May, year 2006, I went to support the Ngee Ann Polytechnic Concert Band at their annual “Pops ‘n’ Classics” concert, themed One Night In Japan held at the Ngee Ann Convention Centre. This is such an ‘auspicious’ date as when you put the date together… it’d be 20.05.2006, thus 20052006… Lol… Am I too lame? : P Two of my friends, Brian and Chee Hao were performing for the concert. Brian played the French Horn while Chee Hao played a Trombone. Congrats lots to them as it was a great success. I enjoyed the concert a lot. Met Johan who was sitting behind me too… Some photo shots taken during the concert…

The full band with the conductor, Mr. Tan Aik Kee.


The gigantic wordings for the theme of the night, One Night in Japan.


The interesting and lively percussion ensemble performance by Baracuda Batucada.

For the programs, I myself prefer Hidamari no Uta, theme of the famous Japanese drama, Under One Roof, Yagi-Bushi, a traditional Japanese Min’yo and lastly Mononoke Hime Medley by Joh Hisaishi (宫崎 骏) especially the Legend of Ashitaka part… Lol…

Singapore AIDS Candlelight Memorial
On the 21^st of May, I went out with Daniel… Lol… Watched the animation Over The Hedge at The Picture House of Cathay Cinemas. After the movie, we went to Sim Lim Square to check on Daniel’s com but it seemed that it’s still under repair. At night, we proceeded to the Campus Green of Singapore Management University for the Singapore AIDS Candlelight Memorial. It was suggested by Daniel actually as I really know nothing about these activities… Haha…
Some of the shots I took…

This was the emcee welcoming the people with another guy expressing the content with sign language…

The program book… part 1

The program book… part 2… showing the logo of the Action For AIDS group and the luminous stick held by me… It was used as the candlelight to avoid fire… Lol… They are really considerate.

The people, the crowd…

The guest of honor, Professor Howard Hunter from SMU giving a speech along with the sign-language man.

The Procession of Light… People go around the Bras Basah Park with the ‘candle’ while Daniel and I remained at the canopy… we were too lazy XD

Well, I guess that’d it be for the time being, although I still have some more stuffs to talk about. I’ll leave them till the next entry then… Take care peepz… Lastly… Thanks to those who tagged my haven when I wasn’t around… Really thanks : D
