I AM SUFFERING FROM INSOMNIA AND JETLAG. Damn pissed because I am super tired but I woke up like more than 5 times in 4 hours. And when I finally checked the clock it was 3.51am. Kill me. Now it's 5.35am and I cannot get back to sleep. And I have to be awake at 9am. Omg jetlagging sucks. I think my body stil thinks it's 10pm.

Want to do some productive photo-sorting but too pissed. Ugh.

So need your love so fuck you all

2011-06-16T23:06:00.004+08:00

Well hello! I've been back for a month and a day and am FINALLY making the effort to update! Haha evidently I have not soaked up the diligence that the Laotian people possess. I'll post a separate entry about my Laos trip.

Now, updating about life because I don't want to forget. (:

Been slacking ever since I got back until this Monday. Haha tuition is damn good money so I've practically been living of tuition. So besides tuition, it's just going out, watching movies, going cycling, going to the Botanic Gardens, meeting up with people and having good food, mahjonging, going to the library and reading.

READING, yes reading. I never thought I'd fall in love with reading again but I have. And since tuition is either at Bishan or Serangoon, I always have a library to go on the way home. Very awesome. So I must say, life in summer is truly awesome. (Shall not mention the opposite. D:) And if anybody has books to recommend or even better, lend me, PLEASE DO. I want good reads. And in return, I can uh, lend you my hard disk for it's collection of brilliant movies, TV shows and music. :D :D :D Besides Take That and RDJ-related stuff, believe it or not, I do have stuff by others.

My summer plan to lose weight is proving to be futile since I didn't really have a plan in the first place. I wanted to swim and run more but my lazy bum is stuck to the chair when I get home, not wanting to get up because I have so many movies and shows to watch. D: More rock climbing isn't helping too, because it's not aerobic. Besides, now that I've started work at my only friend in SMU's shop (it's her Dad's shop but I'm too lazy to type), I haven't been to climbing anyway. -.- And I'm not playing badminton either - it's been MONTHS since I last touched my racket. Sigh. Luckily 08S54's meeting this Saturday to play! :D

Speaking of Saturday, I'm proud to say I'm going for Pink Dot 2011! :D

Wanted to go last year but couldn't find time. This year, thankfully, I can make it. And I'm going with the wonderful ASCs so that's gonna be awesome. Everybody please support this cause! If you're going, let me know but I guess I'll see you there anyway! :D Now, I need to find a pink top. Hahaha fail.

What else. Oh I've quite USS and it's like a very big thing to me, because my last day is 19th June, which marks 18 months and 1 day since my first day there. I've never lasted so long in ANY job (Hahahahaha how old am I only) and to be frank I have mixed feelings about it. But ultimately I am happy because I've finally found the courage (not the most accurate adjective) to tender my resignation and move forward. I've made amazing friends like the ASCs and I hope we'll be friends forever. I've also learnt a lot about leadership and some sort of politics and a massive lot about customer service. But I think I have been overstaying so it's really time to say goodbye. No more free entry into the part, but seriously, it's time for money to get out of my perspective regarding this issue.

One last picture for memories' sake!

Oh and the Cedar Rockwall is (re)opened! :D It's a damn nice wall and I'm damn proud of Coach for making it possible and everything. Best part is current and ex-Cedarians can go back to climb so now we have a new place for gatherings! :D Hahahaha. Well at least for me that's exciting.

LOOK AT IT IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

Except the tiles are new and hence VERY rough. But my hands are rough too so they get a good fight on the wall to see who wins. Eventually of course my skin peels and I admit defeat, but omg it made me miss climbing SO MUCH. And yesterday, about a week or so after my last climbing session, my skin starting shedding like nobody's business. Reminds me of post-CCA days in VJ, after we'd all stopped climbing to mug for the bloody As. My skin peels like a snake too. It was horrible. But yesterday it was kinda noctalgic. Hahaha okay gross.

Went to check out Kinetics and Onsight, two new climbing gyms, too! :D Didn't take pictures at Kinetics (even though it was damn ulu and shiok to climb with the walls all to ourselves :D) but Leonard took some brilliant ones at Onsight!

The walls are wooden and polished (not good for smearing) and the tiles are damn colourful and nice. And there are a lot of routes (hahaha but now I cmi so cannot do already boohoo). But it's HORRIBLY STUFFY with almost no ventilation and the toilet is wet and gross so I try not to pee. Hahahaha. Who knew such things mattered to a climbing gym. -.-

After the climbing session, we headed over to XuRong's house for a BBQ! :D Oh but before that I dropped by Adlin's house to take the chicken wings, and prepare the prawns and squids. Omg cleaning squids is the worst job EVER - its intestines are damn gross and digging them out with my bare hands was like preparing food for fear factor contestants. > < But yay the BBQ was a success and despite buying very little food, we still had a bit of leftovers, which is still considered good since usually there are A LOT of leftovers. :D Then we couldn't take the heat so we decided to venture towards Udders@Siglap. And funnily enough, also due to the heat, we decided to go Ice-Cream Chef instead because we'd walked past it and decided we could walk no more. Haha. We saw our old photos:

Hahaha the childish and retarded things we used to do. ♥

Then FAT met up again (after Jayne's little escapade at NUH) at Novena for Baskin' Robbins! :D

We have learnt that colourful ice-creams usually taste the worst, like cotton candy and bubblegum. D: Stuff with chocolate and coffee are safe choices. Oh and gummy bears should never be suggested at ice-cream toppings. Ever. Actually besides Baskin' Robbins we also had Sakae Sushi, where we literally just ordered what we liked as if we were rich taitais. HAHAHA. But in the end also not a lot la, as we slowly realised we'd overordered. By the end of it we were so full omg.

Another meet-up was with Exco! ♥
We went Abi's house and when we got there we were lik asdfghjkjhgd HOW COULD SHE NOT HAVE INVITED US THERE BEFORE. It's like a small cosy English cottage, decorated heavy wooden furniture with intricate carvings, lots of porcelain, white lace curtains and antiques everywhere. According to Abi's mother, it's like a mini-museum and I completely agree. It's a really beautiful place and we must've spent more than an hour touring her house and exclaiming at EVERYTHING because it was just out of ~~this world~~ Singapore.

So naturally, photo-spamming.

We're standing in her front porch, with lovely brick tiles, low lights and an antique chair made out of a single tree trunk. :D

After all the oohs and ahhs we retreated to Abi's kitchen for some food and drink. HAHAHA the picture makes us look like we're drinking stout (eew) or some hard liquor (that amount = siao) but actually it's iced lemon tea. HAHAHAHAA. And we had them with some lovely cookies Vicky and Abi made. I like. :D

After or rather, during washing up, we started playing games. One of which, Monopoly Deal on a Monopoly board. Hahaha somehow amusing but not quite.

AND WE PLAYED SCRABBLE YAYYYYYY. :D

But it wasn't so fun because dear Jennifer plays competitively and puts words like AO and OI until we were all a bit zzz. I still treasure traditional Scrabble where putting 7-letter words was the highest accolade. Or like putting three tiles down to form a word from conversational english, and at the same time earning 45 points because those tiles were strategically placed.

Btw I really love this picture.

I think it's because it represents how the youth of this generation (I still consider myself one haha) long for freedom and non-confirmity? We want some kind of organisation in our lives but not to be forced to make a decision or go down any path against our own will. We are hedonistic and obviously more interested in satisfying immediate pleasures like watching movies and eating good food. I think I'm truly guilty of being short-sighted and not planning for like say, the next five years or something. We long to travel and be free, visit pretty places and take pretty pictures. We want freedom of speech, freedom of actions, freedom of thought.

Yeah and I guess that's where Tumblr comes in. Hahaha.

Met up with ASCs on Monday for dinner and it was amazing catching up. :D Haha we tried to escape Singapore by like taking pictures (or rather, A picture) against an European background.

See what I mean? Every chance to not look and feel like we're in Singapore.

Alright this has been a post. A very long one.

P.S.: Take That in 15 days! ZOMG.

One and only

2011-04-23T21:56:00.003+08:00

Been listening to a lot of Adele again. Her music is good for thinking.

So regarding the Maroon 5 competition, Suria said she heard my name announced as one of the winners. But today when I asked Universal about it, they said they'd contacted all the winners. So since I have not been contacted, I guess I didn't win it. Sigh. Kinda expected but how come I still feel such disappointment. Not a good thing to get excited about something which isn't mine in the first place.

Anyway, went for City Harvest's Easter service today with YuMei and the production was, as expected, brilliant. Not as funny as previous years but the set was incredible. The screens behind were so huge and HD it was magnificent. Plus they totally knew how to utilise them so the whole service, not just production, had a very polished and lush feel. During the singalong at the start, all I was thinking of was how it felt so similar to a concert. HAHA. And how I wouldn't come each week just to 'enjoy the concert'. But of course, being a Christian is much more than attending service each week. It was kinda nostalgic but then I thought of how young and un-skeptical I was back then. HAHAHA. I was the kind of person who believed what anyone told me. I am still gullible, but more critical.

I realised that going to Laos will make me miss a lot of things. Not miss as in pining, but miss as in unable to attend.
- Election. I'm too young to vote but all the guys are complaining that they can't exercise their right as a Singaporean citizen. HAHA. I'm just waiting to see if more opposition parties will be able to WIN certain GRCs.
- RESULTS. Sad as it may sound, but I am quite sad that I can't check my Sem 2 results in Laos because there is no internet there. -.- So I'll have to wait like one week till I'm back in Laos.
- Water for Elephants. Movie with Christoph Waltz. Sigh I won't be able to watch it on its opening day 5th May. Oh, and Thor too, though I'm not THAT dying to watch it.
- HURTS. The saddest thing. And it just reminded me that I did not win the Maroon 5 tickets. Sigh.

Can't think of anything more for now, but I'm sure I'll be missing out.

Still, musn't complain.

Steal some covers share some skin

2011-04-22T15:44:00.004+08:00

Went to the Singapore Biennale at Kallang yesterday with JiaLing! Haha she went to see her sister's drawing:

Huge butterflies there.

Haha the caption for that picture had something to do with dreaming of being with horses or something. It sounds cute because it comes from a child. Sigh which is why I miss being younger. I'm so old. ):

Anyway, out of all the art works, I found myself most intrigued by either the short films, or those which I could relate to. So some of them I really didn't understand, probably because I cannot relate to what the artist is trying to say. The films were pretty awesome (and depressing, the kind that I like) and I really felt like staying to watch all of them once through. But, the weather was disgusting and I think that watching ALL would take too long and bore us anyway. D:

My favourite one, which totally threw me off and was SO HILARIOUS is the Bad Music Manifesto by Song-Ming Ang! :D It's brilliant and so true and I find it so relatable! HAHAHA. I took photos of it shhh.

READ IT. IT IS INCREDIBLY FUNNY YET TRUE. (Hope it isn't too small.)

And the music playing in the background was seriously just noise. It was the random plucking of strings, strumming of some unidentifiable instruments, and I'm sure I heard the piano somewhere. No drums though. Drums would prolly introduce order to the bad music. After taking the photos we stayed for like another 2 minutes and couldn't stand it, so we left. That was how bad the music was. BUT it's so true that if played down at a restaurant, it kinda acts as a good background music for dinner conversations. I can imagine it playing out in a movie or something.

If the weather was better, I think I would've enjoyed it more. The coolers in each room didn't really help and the MAP didn't make our viewing any easier. We just walked to whereever we thought there were displays. I'm not even sure we covered everything. But there were a lot of artists being featured and I think we saw most, if not all of them.

Overall a brilliant day!

Plus I actually read one third of Water For Elephants. I'm enjoying reading again so much. HAHAHA I shall bring a book or two to Laos with me. xD

Speaking of Laos, I feel so unprepared. D: Like really really unprepared. We just had a meeting today which is the final one before we fly off next Thursday. I brought home some stuff to pack, and got the booklets and packing list. SO MUCH TO BRING. If I bring a huge luggage it will be so weird 'cause technically we're going for a Community Service trip, not a holiday?! But the bulk of our costs will be for the holiday part in Bangkok. HAHA. Freaking slack I cannot take it.

Seems like I won the Maroon 5 thing. But I'm not too sure if I managed to win the tickets, or just the autographed CD. I actually don't give a damn about the autographed CD. I mean okay yay if I win it, but what I REALLY want is the tickets. /: Okay end of ungrateful ranting. Thanks to all who voted btw! (:

Can't be arsed to think of a title this time.

2011-04-20T19:21:00.004+08:00

After pestering everyone on Facebook Chat to vote for my picture, I have decided to stop. I think I can't catch up with the rest, and the decisions by Universal won't entirely count on the votes anyway. Simply put, I think my graphic is rather nice, and has sufficient votes to make me one of the lucky winners. HAHA.

But the real reason behind my giving up hope, is that I'm working so hard to satisfy a temporary sense of happiness. I've been through this conversation with people and it's true - people of our generation (or maybe it's just me) are obsessed with these fleeting moments of happiness. Or maybe it's because I don't know how to find everlasting happiness that I'm resorting to satisfying wants that are right in front of me. All the concerts, movies, shopping do nothing but let me escape the mudanity of life. It's really sad when I think about it. Haha so you can say I've been emo-ing the entire day today, thinking about how sad my life is.

And the thing is, exams are over and summer is here! Which means no more sucky school and I'm supposed to do everything I've always wanted to. Or maybe do nothing - which is also a luxury for many. But, summer is so overrated. It's been summer break for five days now, and all I've done is watch movies, shop, eat good food, use the computer, get people to vote for my stupid Maroon 5 graphic - NOTHING TO CHANGE MY LIFE AS A WHOLE. Summer or not, I am still unhappy.

And I'm very afraid going to Laos won't change a thing. Moreover, I'm in the so-called emo-mood now so I'll probably be some anti-social freak during the trip. I don't even feel like talking to anyone now. I haven't started packing and I don't even think I want to bring my camera. I will just go there, and HOPE it ignites something within me. Like maybe the kids will make me see colour in life again (like how the pill allowed Bradley Cooper to see life in a bright light in Limitless). I'm not even feeling the high for my UK trip. It's like, life has so much to offer me, and yet when I zoom out and see my life from say God's point of view, I see the same old fucking life. Can I even call this life? Do I deserve it?

I think of my happiest times and I think I was happiest when I was part of something. Like in Cedar, when I was in the Prefectorial Board, OAL and whatnot. It's not that I want to relive that time, but I think I was happy because I was part of something. I created something. I felt important? I could see and feel success when things went right. I was in a process and part of a group of important people. So maybe all I need is a sense of belonging. And the reason I'm so unhappy now is because I am nowhere. I belong to nothing. Not even SMU. I think I can even say I'm living in the past, since all my affiliations are from the past - VJRC, Exco, OAL - I have nothing now. Nothing. I am nothing now.

I think if I died tomorrow, things will still go on. Actually, it's the same for everyone, isn't it? Even if someone extremely important died right now, people will find a way to work around it. Adjustments will be made and that person will become nothing but a Wikipedia entry at most. Haha all I have left behind will prolly be this silly blogspace. And maybe my Facebook account. People will resume their busy lives and maybe remember to remember me during my birthday or anniversary. And it's not wrong to do that. It's perfectly normal. It's just that when I think about how insignificant a person can be, it get sad.

Okay no more thinking. That's enough morbidity for a day.

Put your hands all over me.

2011-04-16T00:58:00.004+08:00

HELLO PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE ABOVE AND SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM AND Like THE PICTURE! :D
A million thanks! Good Karma will come to you!

Hahahaha gonna try my luck at winning tickets for Maroon 5! No money to buy so must do all these things which take up time. But of course, I have loads of time now. Hahahaha. And please spread the word, if it's not too paiseh. Ask people to Like the picture for me! HAHA.

Btw, the graphic was made from

and

So it's not like I stole it. I did do the photoshopping okay. And I think it's not bad for ten minutes of using PS on a laptop! Haha.

-----

EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER AND I WENT SHOPPING TODAY WITH GRETCHEN! :D YAYYYY. Okay I'm not supposed to spend any money on shopping since I'll be going to Bangkok but I couldn't help it and bought a pair of shoes. But they were worth it so I shall forgive myself. Hahahaha. I really need to save money for all the trips I'm going for. D:

And I need a job. ):
Anybody got lobangs please let me know.

Gonna watch Take That now! :D

I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing

2011-04-13T22:49:00.002+08:00

Feeling depressed now because I'm watching videos of The Script live in Singapore from last night. I should've been there.

I really should've been there.

We'll do it all, everything, on our own.

2011-03-30T23:03:00.002+08:00

I'm feeling damn annoyed by the weather. Seriously. It's gross and humid and I swear it is killing me as time passes.

Even though everyone says it's like hell week, I must say I have been having a rather slack schedule. I did not study during the weekends and rehearsals for presentations have been rather okay since we were rather well prepared for BGS and MC did not require that much effort. I stoned through Stats tutorial, managed to get 2.5 marks during AS (I think), did pretty okay for BGS and MC presentations. All that's left is mugging a little for FA quiz on Friday. Don't think mugging now will help but ohwell, it's the last lesson of the week so I shall try not to screw it up.

I don't even know why but I managed to watch and catch-up on about 7 episodes of The Good Wife during the past week. I actually shock and disgust myself for being so slack but there, I did it. Now I'm in a slightly depressed mode because I have no more episodes to watch and I'm back to waiting every week for a new episode. I hate waiting like that but I like the feeling of catching up. Sigh and I am a loser for being so affected by TV shows.

According to Glee, being a LOSER is okay! HAHAHAHA. Their Originals episode was pretty good. I like Hell to the No! :D Okay - no more TV.

Like my rant last year before the sem ended, I REALLY WANT THE SUN AND THE SEA. I want breeze in my hair (omg this, so bad, right now) and clouds not sun.

I'm really looking forward to summer this year!

But please tell me what there's to complain about

2011-03-22T21:36:00.004+08:00

I am blogging now because all of a sudden, I feel free. Not in the liberated way (SUMMER OMG I WANT YOU) but in the idk-what-else-to-do-now way. Tumblr's not having new updates as quickly as I refresh it and te tumblrbeasts keep coming to annoy me, and Facebook is getting increasingly boring I'm starting to think it will just slowly fade off like Friendster did.

Anyway, my number one feel-good song at the moment.

I've been hooked onto it since the album first came out and I was sure it would be a great single! Thank God it's now out as a single and hopefully it will catch on. Then again, I hope not many people find out about it because I'm selfish like that. I like it when it's exclusive to people who really love music, like me! Hahhahhahhaa.

Anyway, the song totally reminds me of summer and I CANNOT WAIT FOR SUMMER omg. I will be lost after the Laos trip 'cause I won't know what to do for three months, but even doing nothing seems like a great idea. I could stay home all day, read a book (first time in agesssss), have movie marathons, go to the beach, have a short getaway and MEET UP WITH FRIENDS. And I wanna pursue something new too. Like this sem I learnt swimming, well kinda, so during Summer I want to take on something new too. Hmm.

Hurts is officially coming on 10 May. It's listed on their website and I cannot begin to say my depression is setting in again. I still can't believe that the dates clash. I don't even go overseas often, and NEVER ever have I been away for like 18 days. Plus I'm done with Laos stuff before 10 May and will prolly be shopping in BangKok during their performance. But people will just say I'm dumb for flying back first instead of shopping at Bangkok. Thing is, different people have different priorities and personally, I can go Bangkok any time but I cannot see Hurts whenever I like! ): Gah. See, karma biting me in the butt AGAIN. I swear this is retribution.

I spent the past weekend helping out with the mum's performance at Theatre for Seniors, by The Necessary Stage and I must say it's sparked off a major hiked interest in theatre in me. Not really acting, but the whole production of it. The script-writing, the backstage crew, the admin stuff - just everything. There's something very intimate and real about theatre that you can't find in movies. If plays were as cheap at movies I would go watch one every week. Hahaha.

Speaking of which, I haven't watched a movie in ages. GAHHHHHHHHH. The last one I watched was The Adjustment Bureau and that was like two Fridays ago. I really need movies because my life is sad and movies allow me to escape into another world. HAHAHAHA. Even though my favourite type of movies are usually depressing dramas that move me so. Doesn't really help, does it? /: Never Let Me Go, for example, was extremely depressing but I loved it. And my all-time favourite movie is and probably forever will be A Single Man.

Yesterday while walking to the venue for one of my group meetings, I walked past the Quiet Reading Area in the SMU library and saw a DVD collection. Like what?!!??!?!?! I thought it would all be documentay-type films but NOOOOO - on the eye-level shelf, on its own was MAMMA-MIA. Wth?!?!? Hahahha don't get me wrong, I love Mamma-mia - because it has a stellar cast of Colin Firth, Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan amongst others - but it's a comedy-musical and isn't exactly expected to be found in the SMU library! Babel also caught my eye but I walked past too quickly and was in some kinda shock to get a good look at the titles the library carries. So there, next time I'm at the library I will go borrow some DVDs to watch. Haha beats downloading right. xD

Even though my number one music group is Take That (forever and ever), I think I do love Robbie William's solo songs more. And I thought of the reason today - it's because his songs really represent how I feel sometimes. And his lyrics speak what my heart does too. Which sort of means I have a depressing life, and if I'm living in the UK or something, would mean that I'm prolly covered with tattoos and taking drugs. (Hahhaa fallacy ttm.)

Take a bite of my heart tonight

2011-03-16T22:26:00.005+08:00

Too lazy to update properly.

Today, I wanted to ask Prof for a solo speech slot during next week's MC lesson. I'd even thought about what I wanted to say. On the bus ride home, I was thinking of talking about why we should count ourselves lucky to be Singaporeans. HILARIOUS RIGHT? Because anybody would know I'm like the most anti-singapore and pro-UK person or something. I even imagined myself saying 'My friend sitting over there, Liu Kun can testify that I have said "I hate Singapore" countless times'.

Okay, I digress. Thing is, on the long ride home, I could think of so many places I could be that are worse than Singapore! Japan, for example. Australia (Queensland)? I wouldn't want to be in the US either, because of the 2008 economic crisis and the fact that they're almost known as stupid people thanks to Bush. And for practical reasons, I won't wanna be a permanent resident in the UK simply because their standard of living is too high. I won't want to be in any other part of Asia, really, because they're either too poor, too crowded and/or too full of other races that I'm not sure I'll be comfortable to live with. I might wanna reside in the other parts of Europe but they, too, sound a little politically unstable. So even though we often complain about the mundanity of Singapore, and how we're so uninteresting and "safe" and law-by-law, I kinda like it that we can focus on our studies, enjoy movies and concerts, walk on the streets safely and have good rest at night. Yes, I am complacent like that. I don't really like planning for my future and would prefer it if things were taken care of. I guess that's what Singapore has brought her people up to be, but I seriously don't mind.

Okay I won't elaborate further about my apathy.

Anyway, life.
Got back results for midterms this week and they were all good, except for presentations. Contrary to my own belief when I came into SMU, I suck at presentations. I do better for my muggable tests than presentations. Damn.

See how life is so unpredictable? That's why I think being hedonistic is not wrong.

What is wrong with me?

2011-03-13T03:01:00.002+08:00

What is wrong with my life?

HTHT with the ASCs (well, half of ASC) didn't seem to help. I don't know. We are self-proclaimed angsty and I guess evidently so. But somehow we can't pinpoint WHY we are angsty. We sort of identified WHEN we became angsty but that isn't helpful, is it? And of course we couldn't come up with a solution to become less angsty. I mean, saying that we SHOULD be more optimistic sounds like a great idea but we have no ability to do so. I we had, we wouldn't be angsty, right? I guess these feelings manifest, in a bad bad way. And they're more than quadrupled when we come together. :O Not a good sign.

I've just watched a movie called My Life Without Me.

It's a COMPLETELY ASC-movie omg.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

2011-03-04T01:27:00.003+08:00

If hell exists (P), I will burn in it (Q).
But since hell does not exist, I guess I won't have to face such a horrible fate.

Well that ain't true either, 'cause I'm Denying the Antecedent. (Not P, then not Q.)

I think I always knew I was mean, but not THIS MEAN. Today I really accumulated TONS of bad karma. The best part is I'm not sorry about it, really.

I wouldn't be surprised if I screwed up the FA test tomorrow. But PLEASE PLEASE let me get an A for my AS midterm. (To whoever is up there listening to me, if you even exist.)

Never give up, it's such a wonderful life.

2011-02-22T22:30:00.003+08:00

About one hour ago I was whining all about how I won't be able to see Hurts when they come to Singapore on 10th May because I'll be in Laos. I even said stuff like I am so depressed I could kill myself now. Or cry my eyes out. And then I had all these thoughts about how Singapore sucks and how living elsewhere is definitely better. Like in London, I would be able to see all my favourite artists throughout the year or something. And then I started to think how easy it is to be sad and how difficult it is to be truly happy. All that kind of bullshit.

Then I went on Tumblr and saw this:

I can die now. Because I ought to be shot. I am so disgusted with myself right now.

Safe in your arms, you've kept me in line; no cause for alarm, new york city you're mine

2011-02-20T00:12:00.002+08:00

I always have the sudden urge to blog in school during lessons because that is the one thing that I want to do badly, and have the time to do so. Like, during lessons, I can't do other subjects' homework, watch videos or anything that involves something other than typing. Hahaha. But yet I never do it, BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THE PERSON BESIDE ME WILL JUDGE ME. Hahahahah so superficial I know. But, I'm afraid they will scoff like 'omg? Blogger?! That's ancient!' Damn.

So anyway, I feel kinda free (at least fora while) since it's the mid-term break. Though I must say, I will seriously need to spend much of it mugging because I'm so backward for FA and Stats. Gah. Thank God AS is a bring-home test this time. At least I won't have to study for it.

I am now a fan of Oak and Gorski! Teehee. YunJing asked me to go see them perform last night and they were brilliant. The cello adds something really special to their music. And Ken Oak is so cute omg. He smiled at us as he walked past! And they were so nice to autograph our albums and take a picture with us. Ken put his arm on my waist! HAHAHAHAHA Omg fangirling ttm but it's so fun! :D And this fleeting moment of happiness makes me happy when I think about it. Not so fleeting anymore huh, YunJing! xD Anyway they are really awesome. I hope everyone listens to them. And when they become mega-huge in a few years' time, YunJing and I can be proud to declare ourselves fans from the start. YAY.

Speaking of fangirling,
I now have the following poster in my room! :D :D :D It's 118x218cm. If you can't measure, it's about the height of my wardrobe/ceiling and the length of a super-single mattress. Yes it's amazing. And I love it.

It's amazing. I smile to Robert Downey Jr every morning I wake. Hahahahahaha.

I think Katy Perry's song 'Not Like The Movies' will describe my life in some years down the road. Sigh. Then again, I might be forever alone. HAHAHAHA.

Watched Closer on Thursday night with the ASCs. I shall not give a full review but overall it was entertaining. Not as good as the movie, since the casting was not all that suitable fromthe start. Or maybe I brought with me the portrayal by the movie cast (Jude Law, Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman) that I wasn't all that impressed by the (mostly) local cast. But I still think Adrian Pang did a brilliant job. I might be slightly biased there though. Hahaha. Nevertheless, a wonderful night spent with the ASCs! And all the more so since all of us had to skip something just for that. HAHAHA.

The Oscar movie season is kinda blowing over even though the Oscars aren't even here yet. Haha. More good movies coming out in the next two weeks so we shall see how it goes! :D Remaining on my list are The Kids Are All Right, Rabbit Hole and 127 Hours. And also Never Let Me Go (why wasn't it nominated?!!?? 2012?) Black Swan is still the film of the year though.

I miss a lot of people to be honest.

Smile, though your heart is aching.

So let's just take a deep breath, hold it, and push through, because all this will be over soon.
- Gretchen Lee

That is EXACTLY what I feel about school. Okay about life too. But yeah, no matter what is in our way and making life living hell, let's just believe that everything will be okay in the end, because things always do, once they are over.

So hello everyone. This is my sad, sad life.

I think I don't actually have the right to say that my life sucks because I have a really slack timetable this semester. Hence, I am able to meet up with a lot of my friends and watch plenty of movies etc. I've also picked uo lucrative tuition with a Primary six girl who is cute, chubby and really smart too so I really should have nothing to complain about. I get to watch my TV shows, sleep early and basically do whatever I want that I feel makes me happy. But then, it is constrained by the fact that I NEED MONEY and I AM STUCK IN SINGAPORE.

If that's the case then everyone should be depressed. (Well, honestly, why not?) Hahaha point is: I WILL NO LONGER BE SAD AND DEPRESSED. I am not making a resolution to be optimistic (like I was before, really) and NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT LIFE and be happy with what I've got. I will attempt to do this for 2011 and continue for the rest of my life.

YES. I WILL BE HAPPY.

I will, though, still be critical, but with the most objective of minds. And I will still fangirl and hence, still have the right to bitch about people too. Lastly, I will still say stuff like 'I'm tired' and 'school sucks' because these are truths. I will simply stop manifesting in these thoughts. Hahaha. Sounds like a good start to me.

Okay THE END.

In other news, I've picked up swimming! :D Kinda excited for it, the lessons start next week! And I finally made the payment and registration today so the dust is settled. I WILL KNOW HOW TO SWIM BY THE END OF 2011. Woohoo, another resolution settled. :D

I WANT TO WATCH THIS SO BAD I CAN'T STAND HOW LOCAL CINEMAS TAKE SO BLOODY LONG TO GET IT HERE.

And Black Swan and 127 Hours. Seriously.
I also wanna watch Rabbit Hole and The Kids Are All Right very badly. February can you come already?

I haven't shopped for CNY clothes yet so I'm seriously dead. Except I'm going shopping tomorrow so I'd better get something! I think I'm prolly only visiting on the first two days so I don't need a lot. Besides, it's not as if I don't shop on regular days. Hahaha. Need to save money and go for more flea markets.

Anyway, MAJOR PHOTO UPDATE AHEAD. :D

Went out with 08S54 the other day! Well to be exact I think it's two saturdays ago. And almost everyone was there! I don't know, maybe not, but that was how I felt. Haha. Anyway, we went to this Jap/Western restaurant at Liang Court and their steak was fantabulous! I would go there again just for the steak srsly. Hahaha the guys went to WenKai's Commisioning Parade before the dinner and they said that it was damn dramatic, with the rain and them still marching on. Oh, and Mr President who also carried on
inspecting them even though he was getting drenched too. Commendable.

This was like three Sundays ago or something (8th Jan?) Celine and I were slacking in the break room while waiting to go home at 1430 when Gretchen came in (she was early for work?). Then Sume also came in since she started at two. Then suddenly, YunJing came in and we instinctly gathered for a group hug with screaming and crazy bouncing up and down! YunJing and Gretchen had a slight head collision, afterwhich we continued our crazy group hug. It was insanely funny and we went out of our minds. Hahaha we were also fussing about Sume's boots (which seriously belong to nothing but the bin by now). Haha unforgettable day. Also the last group photos EVER of the five of us in the JPR break room in our uniforms. ):

Met up with the Exco some time near the start of January. 2nd Jan I think? And it was awesome having a full gathering. Even though Arica and Ely took turns to be absent, the random conversations, bowling and WEIRD ANTICS we were so used too and I so miss, were awesome. Arica's sister, Angel joined us too and she was SO CUTE I swear all kids should be like her. Then again I'm too cynical so I think she was cute only when she was with us. The diaper-changing and crying and tantrums were probably more of the reality, which would've been a major turn-off. HAHA.

This was taken during the New Year countdown at ShuHan's. Somehow I like it a lot. Hahaha. Even though it shows how bad my eyebags are. D: Anyway, we played Twister like crazy and the guys were so fun to watch! Then we played Pass The Bomb which was hilarious shit. Sherlyn and I are the BEST. Team. Ever. :D Hahaha. Oh how I love 08S54.

Met up with FAT on my first day of school and it was so good to see everyone again! WanLing you have been missed! We went to Food For Thought and I like this picture I took with Jayne. :D Hahaha we have another photo we took at the Bugis Dessert shop but this one's nicer. I miss climbing with FAT so much. I don't think I can bring myself to climb with others but I need to do something. I need to have a regularity in my life and I'm not sure a new sport would do it. SMU Climb Team? Sigh.
Anyway, the food at FFT was disappointing. I fear that I will never go back again.

I loved the Golden Globes and I'm glad the Oscar season is coming! :D Life should be good again! Hahahaha.

When you get what you want but not what you need

2011-01-08T00:18:00.005+08:00

I cried while watching Grey's. Again. The new episode is a reminder of last season's epic finale so naturally I cried again. Sometimes I hate myself for being so involved in TV shows but Grey's really gets me all the time. I like how it's dark and twisted and everybody has some sort of personal issue, or loads of them, and are trying to straighten themselves out. And a little part of me feels fortunate that at least I haven't been through what they have, but another part of me starts to think: what if I'm slowly being psychologically-demented and when I grow up I will be as screwed up as them? Okay, no way, because of many reasons. One major reason: I AM NOT LIVING IN AMERICA. Things like that don't happen in Singapore. Not in the one I know.

Okay sorry I'm rambling about TV shows AGAIN.

During the People's Choice Awards two days ago,

YEAHHHHHHH. They better order the back nine now and renew LTM for a fourth season.

Okay no more TV shows. I need to mug mug mug. Printed hell lot of stuff today so tomorrow I will mug without a laptop! :D I CAN DO IT.

I made it through week one of school! :D

I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired

2011-01-06T23:40:00.000+08:00

Silence please 'cause I got something to say

2011-01-05T16:41:00.003+08:00

Today, my Prof Carla Lim mentioned Lie To Me! :D HAHAHA it got me kinda excited and my dear OFISMU (hahahaha bet you can figure this out!) asked me to write it in the 'Tell me more about yourself' thing. I'm really tempted to. xD Because of my caucasian profs, I think lessons will be very awesome this sem. I have Brian Mooney for AS and Carla Lim for MC - hopefully they will make me want to work hard for these writing subjects that I usually don't do so well in. I mean I love the lessons and content but somehow I cannot articulate my enthusiasm during the exams and assignments. Sigh.

School's been rather interesting, just that yesterday really took a toll on me. Back-to-back lessons for about ten hours, with just one lunch break made me sooooo tired. Thankfully I had dinner with FAT! :D But by the time I got home I was really so tired I slept for another ten hours or so before today's lesson. HAHAHA. Now I gotta really do my Stats tutorial before I forget.

I'm finally doing more stuff for OCIP. Hahaha. And it's making me re-love the organising of project and events even though it might mean a little more work. I kind of like small responsibilities and being part of a team to accomplish stuff. I had perhaps too much of that in Cedar but definitely too little of that in JC, all the way till now. I still love Event Planning, even though it is obviously not a very good prospect in the working world. /:

ALL THE TV SHOWS ARE COMING BACK THIS WEEK. AWESOME. More Grey's puhleeeeese.
(Although, sigh, In Treatment has ended for this season, and LTM will only be back next week)

Okay off to do Stats. The school library is eerily silent. D:

I'll turn temptation down, I'm asking you to take me to safety

2011-01-03T23:15:00.002+08:00

School's starting tomorrow! In less than nine hours to be exact. I can't believe I'm going to start my week for the next fifteen weeks with Stats but that is the honest truth. ): And it's an 8.30 lesson so KILL MEEEEE.

Looking back on 2010, I
- met ASCs
- worked at USS
- went to five awesome concerts
- entered SMU and survived the first term
- kept in contact with 08S54
- got an awesome friend who is my only friend in SMU (HAHAHAHAHA)
- went overseas with acquaintances
- kept in touch with good friends from the past (well, most)
- battled some family crisis
- got a new and personal laptop
- spent all my savings at one point
- went to a lesbian club
- got drunk but did not lose all sobriety (thankfully)
- participated in Chingay (hahaha idk why i'm even including this in the list)
- became punctual
- acquired a taste for foreign films, or should I say, dramas
- attended three plays (and they were awesome)
- became more critical and practical
- think I developed a depressing view on life and youth and people.

Overall a happening year. Not so sure if I can say that it's good. I guess on tangibles, yes it was, but not very so in terms of the intangibles.

Ohwell. Let's see how 2011 goes.

It's a Bingo!

2010-12-31T18:14:00.003+08:00

So there you go! Movie ticket stubs from 2007 to 2010. Well there are only two from 2007 and maybe five from 2008? Hahaha shows how I've slowly developed into a movie buff, most so in 2009 and 2010. This year I've really watched a lot of movies. Based on the movie stubs, I've watched 51 movies this year. Actually, it's just one movie a week... it's not so bad, right?

Oh but counting those I've watched on the computer then it's gonna be tons but I'm not gonna further prove how piratey I am. HAHAHA. Anyway, today I had to mood to you know, document some stuff and tie up 2010 and do some reflection, so that I can enter 2011 with a fresh new perspective. I've yet to come around doing that though. Scanning in the movie stubs were fun I must say! :D I think I'm really too free.

I should be out, but nua-ing at home feels amazing. Then again, I really chose the wrong day to nua at home. Usually I'm all about going out but of ALL DAYS, I chose today to nua. Bad bad. See how, I still feel a bit like going out.

Reflection post coming soon.

P.S.: The second movie stub from the left in the first row on top is Stardust! The film which allowed me to discover the greatness that is Take That. :D Btw Jamie and LeeYooKoon, thanks to you two, I NOW OWN THE TAKE THAT DELUXE PROGRESS BOXED SET! :D Oh and help me thank you sister toooo thanks. :D

And breathe me.

2010-12-23T12:55:00.005+08:00

I should totally be packing my room but ohmygod I am so lazy. And so tired too. I can't be arsed to update but I think I should because the next time would probably be after Christmas already.

By the way, can I just say, life is seriously better with music. Life should have background music, and I want to decide the soundtrack to my life. Or maybe, have the music people of Grey's to decide the songs that suit my life. Ahhhh too much TV again. D: But seriously, I want to decide my wedding song, my funeral song etc. And I also want music to be playing in the background when I'm walking, or having a moment with my partner or during some celebration or what. You know, just to set the ambience and everything. Hahaha I think I really imagine my life to be a movie.

Milky Way this time round was a success again! Or so I felt it was. Hahaha. Good food, and great company are enough to keep us going! :D Too much junk food though! Next time we should just rely on the good food around Gretchen's house and buy less chips. Fat Boy next! Oh and a satisfying breakfast. :D

YAY US WITH OUR CALENDARS. :D

And omgggg the Christmas Exchange was undoubtedly the highlight of the night! :D Hahaha love Christmas gift exchanges, especially when we have a designated santee (HAHA Celine's new word! xD). And I was right when I guessed Huda was my Secret Santa! She was like my FIRST guess and I got it. Hahaha. Best part was, she got me a Take That calendar, which I'd excitedly bought for myself a few days ago. Now I have two of them and I can't think of anyone worthy to give it too. I mean, they won't even appreciate it please. Maybe I'll pass it on to Simei, who is a newly-converted fan, thanks to me. :D

See Huda, who looks silly, as usual. And there's me, with the super-excited look as I saw the Take That Calendar. HAHAHA. :D

For the next hour I took the calendar everywhere I went, and even played the HA-HA game with them! HAHAHAHA. Omg I am such a crazy fan it's not even funny. D:

Then we play I Have Never, Truth or Double Truth, and oh, prank-called Edwin! HAHAHA seriously damn funny. He was, as expected, very polite and blur but got a little agitated when we mentioned his modelling stint for RWS on their website. xD Hahaha. HTHT was awesome because it just feels like we can talk about ANYTHING under the sun. I dunno how to describe that feeling exactly. (: But omgg Facebook is evil and should be banned when we HTHT because someone you might not know might become someone you know. INSTANTLY. D: Hahahaha. Whatever happens at MW stays in MW!

The rest of it, was just Scrabble that got worse as we progressed, and very uncomfortable sleep. D: I am officially going to sleep at the couch next time if I cannot sleep properly on the bed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :D

You say we're both little people and you like it that way

2010-12-18T21:00:00.002+08:00

Writing and sending Christmas cards now! :D I really hope they arrive on time. And shit I think I have too few cards, but buying a new box will mean too many. D:

I can feel the Christmas spirit already! :D The air is cold and my toes feel icy. I'm in the mood for scarves and coats. If only I stayed in the UK. But okay no, it's bitterly cold there, not the optimum.

Jamie's coming back tomorrow so that means I can go and collect my Take That deluxe set from her on Monday! :D OMG EXCITING. I seriously cannot waittttt.

Oh and I'm getting a new study table, new curtains and new chairs on Monday. Woohoo. Maybe after this, the prospect of me studying at home will become reality. I also need to repack my wardrobe, throw away all the old stuff and clean out. All before New Year.

I don't know why but I feel very ready to venture forward this time.

Still waiting for the snow to fall, it doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.

2010-12-14T00:03:00.002+08:00

I love the Christmas songs this year. :D There's this amazing one by Coldplay, another one by Hurts, and the entire Glee album, too, is amazing. Hopefully listening more to these songs will make me feel the Christmas spirit more. Because it's true, the lack of snow makes everything still feel like smothering Singapore. (HAHAHA alliteration)

So anyway, changed my blogskin BECAUSE MY BLOODY CBOX WAS BEING SPAMMED BY ahem spammers. Kinda annoyed. So from now on, please leave comments instead. :D And I still don't really love my blogskin but I think it's alright, too lazy to edit anyway. I am a Thatter, that is all. :D

Stuff to do this week:
- Settle Christmas cards. Maybe that will put me more into the Christmas mood! :D
- Get Christmas exchange presents. This will seriously require some thinking.
- Pack my wardrobe.
- Clean my hard disk of stuff I've watched before and will prolly never watch again.

Have a good trip, leeyookoon!

No antibiotic can save us now; we are the virus that we talk about.

2010-12-13T00:12:00.005+08:00

I wanna go to The 13 Cells! But the people I've asked so far are all too afraid. WHY? ): I haven't asked S54 yet but I think they will say no too. Is it really that scary??!?! Even if it is, that's the fun part, right?! I think I should fear more but I don't. /: Anyhow, if you're reading this and you think you wanna go with me, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

So, most people who see me irl will know this, but I think I'm gonna blog it down to remember. I've already ordered the Take That Progress deluxe set from the UK which is gonna cost me like $80 or something. So, because of that, I haven't bought their Progress CD from like gramaphone or HMV because it will come inside my deluxe set. But but but, that day, while walking past Gramaphone (Cathay), I SAW A POSTER OF THEIR ALBUM. And it said something like 'Stand a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to catch Take That on their Progress Live Tour! See insert for details.' AND I WENT ALL INSANE. I managed to like calm down and visit the washroom first, but I zoomed into Gramaphone the moment I was out. And omg there it was, the CD, with the insert inside. And yes, I bought it. Okay technically PX bought it for me as a birthday present. :D But thing is, I'm gonna have two copies of that now. BUT OMG, I WILL WIN IT I SWEAR. If I don't I will email Universal and like I dunno what. I just, I WILL WIN IT. And omg if I do, it means that PX will have bought me the tickets to their concert. o.O

Losing all coherence now. Forgive me. But that is what Take That does to me.

Okay update about REAL LIFE. No. more. fantasies.

Starting from long ago... with pictures.

Went out for dinner that day with ASCs to (kind of) celebrate YunJing's birthday! Haha. I watched The White Ribbon with her and uh, we don't understand how it managed to get five stars. Maybe it's just us and how we do now appreciate such genres. Which reminds me, I think I should watch Lust, Caution again because I probably didn't fully understand it when I watched it when it came out. Hahaha I got reminded of it while I was at Unload today. I'm amazed at how random that was.

Anyway, we decided to try out Nabins! It's gotten some really rave reviews on like hungrygowhere so we thought we'd give it a try. But ohmy, the utensils and all seemed dusty, and the food was only mediocre. The meat wasn't even piping hot to begin with. The kebabs were the saving grace but seriously I think I won't go back. /: Maybe those who shisha will appreciate it more. And I know I should be less critical and annoying by telling everyone about it, but it's better to share, right?! HAHA.

Food that looks better than it tastes. Seriously.

Then after that we were craving desserts, brownies especially, so we tried to find some at Haji Lane! There was a brownie shop but it was so late that they only served drinks. We found out only after we climbed to the second level and set down. -.- But it's okay because we discovered a cute and funky ice cream shop up front that had waffles as well! :D The ice-cream flavours were pretty cool, I think I will be back to try them. Shouldn't stick to chocolate all the time. Besides, I think Tom's Palette's chocolate ice-cream is one of the best so I should try others.

The best part about this little cafe is prolly the board and card games they have on each table! HAHA I'm a sucker for board games, because I grew up on them (besides Pokemon) and would take board games any day over Wii, PlayStation or RockBand. I am serious. I can play Scrabble all day. And I guess that explains why I like to go Settler's or Mind Cafe too, because it's totally what I love to do. :D

We played Old Maid (HAHAHAHAHA) and then Uno! Sume was being all anal and annoying about the rules (hahahe she won't read this I think!), making Gretchen, the first winner, and I, the second winner, become the LAST TWO in the end. And yes, she was the first legit winner, by HER OWN RULES. We took foreverrrrrr to finish that last bit with Gretchen and I omg I think that makes me hate Uno, at least for a while.

Outside the shop front! Sume and her green top. Haha.

Thing about ASCs is we don't really take that much photos? Hahaha. I think we meet more often than photos reveal, but I guess it's okay, too. Everything ending up on Facebook just makes it less special, in a way I find difficult to describe. Haha.

Photos of Sherlyn's birthday surprise thingy! Hahaha. We made a card, bought dinner up, and of course there was a cake! :D

Hahaha the card with random doodles and scribblings. I ran out of stuff to doodle halfway through but I guess the crappy parts are the funniest. Like GHOST RIDER. HAHAHAHA.

This is the back on which we wrote messages on. HAHAHA I can always trust WenKai and ChinBoon to fill up a card, even when it's only a few of us. xD Many chinese errors and hahaha we didn't know which 'li4' it was so we wrote four for her to circle. Turns out it's mei3li4 de li4. xD

And yay, successful surprise 'cause her roomie is so awesome. We sat in almost total darkness while waiting for them to go back to her room. It felt like hours for what seemed to be twenty minutes. HAHA. And we stood there with the lit candle after receiving Charmaine's message, but they took so long that we blew it out then lit it up again. xD Plus ChinBoon went a little too excited when he got to light the candles so it was all damn funny. HAHAHA. When the doors opened we burst into song and I dunno how to say it but we could sort of tell she was really touched! (: Teehee.

SURPRISE! And I think she was almost tearing up. Aww.

I think, no more surprises next year. For class, for Rock Climbing, for everything. It's tiring. Although the result is kinda rewarding and really worth it when you think back about it, it IS tiring. And I'm always the one organising so, I should take a rest next year.

Went to Porn's and Ah Chiew with JiaLing on Friday but it was so-so only. Sigh. And we didn't take photos! D: But it's okay, because I remember that meeting up to chat, having a laugh and just catching up is so awesome. Happy times.

Okay I'm tired. I will talk about Rock Climbing another day.
And work too - Serene's returned! :D Woohoo.
Oh and I had a haircut yesterday but I think nobody could really tell. And today I tried to tie it but soooo many strands stood out. D:
And I still want to go to the beach. And 13 Cells.

Your voice is swallowing my soul soul soul

2010-12-07T22:50:00.003+08:00

Damn tired now. But happy. Because we went to Sherlyn's hall today to surprise her for her birthday and it was a success! :D Mainly because she has an awesome roomie! And it was good for the guys (cb and wk) to come along 'cause they are just so lame we end up laughing at them. HAHAHA. And we talked about old times in VJ, all the bridge-playing, funny teachers, ponning lessons and dunno what. Haha. And omg I actually remember Sher wore her yellow PE tee, carrying her pink/green puma bag during our first class outing. And I was wearing my spiderman tshirt. Hahahahaa. Wow the power of first impressions is really o.O and teehee we actually remember what each other wore. xD

I love feeling all nostalgic 'cause it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Like, we've come a long way from the first days we met, and looking at all the photographs of us with huge smiles makes me feel so lucky.

Then I look at my life now and it's such a bane. I want the past back. But maybe it's because I only remember the happy parts, or rather I choose to. I choose, instead, to forget the never-ending mugging and mountain-pile of homework, failing Chem countlessly and being so afraid of MonicaWong, and actually worrying about being retained and all that crap. Is that why people are resistant to change? Because they always think what they had or already have is awesome? I mean even now, I think my life is sucky, but I'm still not in the mood to embrace change. I dunno.

I really need to sit at a park bench and contemplate about life. HAHAHAHA.

Went to East Coast yesterday evening with my family to dinner at Jumbo. :D Food was awesome, like really. We couldn't find ANYTHING to complain about. I want to go back, or maybe like Pasir Ris park or somewhere to chill. To stare at the sea, to listen to my music, to think, to people-watch. I'm so sick of town. And a little sick of people.

Speaking of which, nex is horrendously crowded. It's worse than Orchard and I really hate it. Too crowded and too packed with old people and kids. And ill-mannered people. HAHAAHA. I think it's just my judgement. I find myself finding fault with everything now. Like everything can be improved, why weren't they? I feel as if my eyebrows are always furrowed. No, not good. D:

Been spending a lot of money too. And I feel like whatever I earn can be spent within half the time or something, Like, I earn maybe forty/fifty bucks a day (of like six hours' worth of work) and that can be spent in one evening on a good meal and a movie. Why oh why do I spend so much money? I hate how I feel spending on certain things are worth it. I hate how I have so little self-constraint. But then again, I love that there are things to hate about me. A person cannot be too perfect also, right?

I think I'm watching too much In Treatment. It's bad for health because it makes me want to rethink my life and connect scenarios, dreams, family background, reasons for my actions and reactions and my past and my future. It's so complicated that I'm starting to think I should see a therapist. Not because there is something wrong with me, but because it just seems to be healthy to have one. HAHA. Go away Asian stigmas.

Ricky Gervais' stand-up show, Science, is BRILLIANT. For a good laugh, do watch it. :D

LOOKING FORWARD TO XMAS!

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine

2010-11-27T00:21:00.002+08:00

I've just installed Photoshop CS5 but I find myself still using Gimp because I've gotten used to it over the past three months? Very bad. 'Cause PS has wayyyyy more functions than Gimp. And it's interface is way sleeker and less annoying in terms of user-friendliness. But still, I'm now a loyal customer of freeware.

So anyway, EXAMS HAVE OFFICIALLY ENDED!
No I don't want to discuss exam papers or answers. I just know I'm through with this semester, and yay, seven more to go. Well, yay because it's three and a half more years before official working life and full-time jobs start. How about that?

Okay I need to think happy thoughts while happiness lasts.

SO FOR CELEBRATIONS, Liukun, Sylviane and I decided to go for simply a lunch and a movie. Hahaha so cedar-days but ohwell. Movies aren't really considered a treat to me any more, but of course, I appreciate watching a good movie any day. ;D And today we did watch a good movie, Easy A! Yes it's a rom-com but the plot is fresh, and the language is modern and many pop-culture references were made so it was very engaging! :D Hahaha it dissed twilight, made social networking sound rampant and scary (very true pls), made high school look like a hell hole, showed us good teachers and crap counselors exist, made parents cool and did not make all american teenage girls look like either bitches or losers. There actually are normal-ish girls who actually look decent and can study, nothing like the dumb blondes or nerdy geeks that we see on Glee. Hahaha.

Sad thing about this viewing, as was the same in my first viewing of Due Date, was the bad audiences. Weekday movie slots suck because 1) It is not full-house and 2) Audiences bloody hell cannot catch jokes for some reason. I don't know why that is, but I find myself laughing almost alone. Thankfully the people I go with each time can catch the jokes and laugh along too. Otherwise I think I'll just hate the whole experience. Well I guess this applies only to comedic movies, but still, I think it's very important. The second time I watched Due Date, on a Saturday night at The Grand Cathay, it was glorious. Everyone laughed their heart out at almost every moment which intended to make us laugh. IT WAS AWESOME.

Gonna watch Confessions on Sunday! Excited! :D

Oh I haven't eaten since lunch today, which was from 12nn to 2pm at Rendezvous Hotel's in-house restaurant Straits' Cafe. HAHAHA totally an indulgence and my real spending of money these two weeks. Okay the food was so-so but we still talked and laughed a lot so I would say it's worth the money for a leisurely lunch. xD Hahaha I officially make better popiah than sylviane (thought she definitely won't see this, damn). HAHA. And it was confirmed today that Liukun finds living in a temple, like those on a hill where people meditate and stuff to be, I quote, "Cool" but totally and utterly resents the fact that someone living there could only live on vegetables for all three meals. HAHAHA. Why lk, why?

Next week's gonna be a good week!

Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike but now we'll last the day.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR EXAMS TO END.
Hahahaha many people go wth when they realise my exams only last two days - Thursday and Friday - but mugging for exams go way back so this is still considered a stressful period! I think I really hate mugging but then again, who doesn't?

Anyway, after exams, I want to

1) Have a movie marathon. Best if it's in theatres. But looking at the upcoming movies, I think I'll be better off watching what I've downloaded. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction await me. Plus that Audrey Tautou movie which Kelly recommended, and the french musical YunJing told me about (YES I DOWNLOADED IT :D). And I think I wanna rewatch a few movies like Fight Club, A Single Man, Inglourious Basterds, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. And omg I have The Wind That Shakes The Barley and Se7en waiting for me. Ahhh movie marathonnnnn.

2) Sit and relax, probably at the beach. You know, just like look at some scenery (limited in Singapore though) and listen to good music, or the sea breeze, and just do nothing. I need to do nothing for a while. Like mentioned in Eat Pray Love, the art of doing nothing by the French is good. I need to relax and just do nothing. Since I don't smoke or drink (much), I guess it will look really uncool, but I NEEEED to take my mind off everything in my life and just stare into space for a while.

3) Go back to watch Kumar. Mondays at Hard Rock Cafe, Orchard. Nuff said.

4) Save money for next year. I'm planning to watch Closer so that requires money. Plus I'll definitely be going for more gigs next year (HOPING TAKE THAT WILL COME) so I'll need money for that too. Still decided if I'm going to just work more, get another job, or just slack (but save). The last option will be difficult but I seriously can't be arsed to work.

5) Rewatch all the Take That concerts and documentaries. HAHAHA I'm surprised this is like number 5 on the list but it seriously wasn't my first thought so yeah. Anyhow, I WILL DO THIS. MUST. :D

Okay the list is complete, for now. And exams haven't even started and I'm already planning what to do after exams end. I think I'm just gonna die for next sem because I'll have four end-terms. D:

Two more days and I'm done with 1/8 of my SMU life. YAY!

Stay

2010-11-20T22:54:00.002+08:00

I love Hurts.

They have really awesome music. And their image and everything is just so sleek and charming. But most importantly, their music is brilliant, raw yet well-produced, and so very touching yet I can see myself nodding to it on the train. I was listening to Happiness on my way home just now and I must say it's one of the best music for accompanyment on a bus ride home. Makes me think and reflect and rethink.

So anyway, I've been busy. Studying. HA HA HA. With LiuKun. I think I'm a ban influence on her since I always end up doing other stuff on the laptop, but I think she's very easily sidetracked too. HAHA. Like today, she left the library at six to get home to watch the Golden Horse Awards!!! D: Which I must say, is NEVER-ENDING. It started at seven (?) and is still showing (it's about 11pm now) and I don't think it's going to end soon. It's way past schedule. Plus the people talking are mostly quite old and I bet LiuKun herself hasn't watched half the nominated movies, except Aftershock and Detective Dee.

Speaking of which, I want to watch 71 into the fire. ):

I've been working every Sunday for three sundays now! It's really hard work too. I find myself crashing on the bed once I get home and I'll sleep from like seven to ten or something. VERY BAD. I'm very scared, with the absence of a body clock, I won't be able to wake up on time for the Biz Law exam on Thursday. D:

Four more days to study! D:

How very true. Is it funny how expectations change? I bet I wasn't looking for happiness this way five years ago. And neither will I be in five years' time.

Everybody hurts

2010-11-18T05:10:00.003+08:00

I think I am insane because I've just spent like the last five hours doing nothing productive. AT ALL. It kinda made me really happy during that five hours but I'm feeling like shit now. I have done NOTHING.

Study week seems to be more like Recess week for me.

Damn it.

Youth don’t leave me, hair stay on me.

2010-11-14T00:11:00.003+08:00

So it's 1211 and I've been alone at home since like nine pm until ten minutes ago when everybody came coming home one by one. I randomly texted Yumei and Mummy at eleven plus to ask where they were and stuff. And then I realised I'm usually home that late too, and they've like stopped asking me where I was yada yada since some time ago that I can't remember. I think, I'm selfish because I can be home really late but when I'm the one at home I'm totally uneasy. And when I'm home, I'm usually just glued to my laptop. It's like I want people around me JUST IN CASE. D:

Shit la I suck. I think I really do.

And I think I'm watching too much of In Treatment. It causes me to rethink and evaluate my life, make connections between my thoughts, words and actions. And I think because of that I'm analysing and thinking too much. Yet I've not come up with anything conclusive. I've just been wasting my time.

And today I've been thinking about my future. What kind of job I really want to be in, what kind of life I wish to lead, the type of house I want to live in, who I want to live with, whether or not I will still be a fangirl in say ten years' time, how my kids would see me IF I were still going crazy over a band like Take That, how they would react if they stalked my Facebook account... all those kind of crazy thoughts. I truly am insane.
And the best part is, I just thought of how things are unpredictable and there is no point overthinking stuff that will almost definitely not go the way I'd expected it to be.

HEDONISM. ALWAYS. (Please google it if you don't know what it is/means.)

Working at LiuKun's dad's shop today, well more like working for her dad, was quite fun. Hahaha the graduates come and go and seriously they are so different. There was this guy who told me the last time he wore a graduate gown and motar was twenty years ago. What made him want to study again? It's not unusual, but I can never see myself doing that. I would either be a constant student studying throughout my life, or someone who gave up studying right after Uni. No way am I going to wait twenty years and make a decision to study again. That's not the way to reconnect with you past, you know.

So anyway Sylviane and I went for lunch at Shokudo and just like that, I spent the $20 I had just made. HAHAHA. So typical of me, I know. But seriously, it's always worth if for good food. :D I need to start saving for my Laos trip already. I always thought I had like $500 set aside for the trip but I REALLY DON'T. And if I don't have the money by then I would be too ashamed to ask my parents for it. D: So, need to chiong work in Dec and save it all up!

And last week was the last lesson for all my mods. Felt kinda sad about it for some subjects. But it wasn't like in JC or Secondary school, where it was the end of the year and everyone starts to be all aww-ish and hug and I don't know, really thank the teacher? In Uni everything is very civilised and formal: The Profs give a speech, the lessons end early, and we all say a simple thank you and wander off. There isn't that nostalgic feeling that is supposed to surface. I don't know I guess I'm just not used to it. I miss having a class together, getting to know the teachers and stuff. And the thought of the last part of my education journey being in this kind of system kinda sucks. D:

I think I'll be lucky to get two As this sem. And hopefully no Cs. That would be good enough. :D

Okay off to watch more In Treatment, sleep, and then work!

But don't you know, there's something I can feel when I breathe

2010-11-09T13:02:00.003+08:00

I have been a terribly bad student today. First, I overslept so I told my group that I would not be able to make it for the group meeting already. Then I went back to sleep again, and woke up at 1204, to much shock. Then, thinking it was the day of Grammer Test, I texted two of my classmates to sms me the password for the test so that I can take it from home. When they both replied that it was on Thursday instead, I was totally relieved and continued to stay at home and do nothing. See, I've been a horrible student. Completely and utterly horrible. D:

So AW is due soon and I'm seriously dying over it. I mean, 2000 words isn't a lot, right?!?!!?

And I have a non-existent body clock. Well I usually don't have one already but this time it's really bad. I sleep at four, wake up at twelve, and the cycle goes on. I don't wanna be late for Biz Law tomorrow again. D:

Okay life sucks. I can't wait for Sem One to me overrrrrr.
And I think I need a new job during the holidays. Working at USS has *gasps* become mundane. I never thought I'd say that about a theme park.

You better check yourself before your wreck yourself

2010-11-04T09:26:00.003+08:00

I am awake really early this morning! :D And that's a lot because other than for Biz Law classes, I'm never out of bed before ten. Plus I did the laundry and cooked barley. :D Seems like a good start to the day!

I'm doing my Research Paper now and it's killing me. I have no idea where I'm heading. And even when I've got the ideas down, I need to find supporting evidence. After that, I must synthesize and come up with a connected paragraph then string it together to form an essay that flows. GAH. Why didn't I work a little harder and get an A for GP last year!?!?! ):

After this week is over, I will be rather freeeee! Other than the RP due next Thursday, I'm only left with end-terms. So time to mug mug mug, but also time to play. Hahaha German Film Fest starts on 11 Nov! :D Woohoo.

Okay byebye. I'm blogging 'cause I wanna escape from doing my RP. HAHAHA. And Facebook is stagnant and so is Tumblr. D:

OH AND I AM WATCHING DUE DATE TODAY. MWAHHAHAHAHHAHAH. EXCITING OMG.

And I'm on my knees looking for the answer

2010-11-02T00:31:00.002+08:00

I was just thinking: Job satisfaction, or higher salary?

About half a year ago, after working at RWS, I kinda decided that a higher salary was the way to go. That means that I would have to put up with work until I knocked off, and then go eat good food, attend concerts and musicals and all those entertainment sources! :D Hahaha good life, right? That's better than working my ass off for a worthwhile cause, but not being able to do what I love even more - going for concerts etc.

But then again, is this considered temporary happiness? Take my life now for example. (Okay I'm not exactly rich, but) I am able to go for movies and the occasional concert when I want to. But life sucks as a student who has to mug and have project meetings on Sundays. So I do feel happy, but it is temporary. And when people ask me how's life, I would prolly reply 'Life sucks' or that kinda reply. Thing is, I go for movies and concerts and all but yet I still say that.

I don't know. This is confusing. And annoying.

You won't ever hear me hit the ground

2010-10-31T02:18:00.004+08:00

HELLO I'm at LiuKun's house nowwwww. And we are super sociable people because we're sat in the same room, each using a different computer, separately commenting on Facebook and shouting to each other to Like and Comment and dunno-what. SUPER SOCIABLE. Look what technology has done to us. D:

Anyway, went for Sentosa Spooktecular just now! :D Best Halloween party I've had because I bothered to dress up! Hahaha and it was scarier than the Night Safari one because the shock factor was higher. Many strangers asked us to take photos with them! Shows the success of our costume. WOOHOO. :D

Photos or it didn't happen! :D

LiuKun, Deborah, Kelly and I! :D

Hahaha one of the groups of strangers that asked us for photos. xD Kinda exciting. HAHAHAHA.

The indian sari woman?

I'm supposed to be invisible. HAHAHAHA. xD And a midget too.

The friendly ghost! Hahahaha he was really quite funny and we kept bumping into him. HAHA.

And I met Clarice! What a small world. HAHAHAH. Best part is she approached us four and asked "CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU?" Then I excitedly took off my mask and said "OMG IT'S ME!" Hahahhaha. On hindsight I should've waited till AFTER the photo then revealed myself.

Mario and Luigi! Hahaha cute.

They kept DISCRIMINATING me for not knowing I should be saluting with my right hand. ): Not from UG my fault meh. From Sports more cool lor.

Hahahaha and we forgot to bring our slippers so we had to wear these bedroom slippers home! WITH OUR NORMAL CLOTHES. Hahaha cui ttm.

Best part was we still went to Xing Wang HK Cafe for supper after that, wearing those slippers. And I happily took them off during the meal. Like my own home. HAHAHA.

So yeah, Halloween 2010 is awesome! HAHAHA. Spent with fantastic company and I was actually (kinda) scared and shocked during some parts. Good good. Okay done blogging. HAHAHA. Now we gonna play mj or monopoly deal. (And to think I always complain about the mountain-load of homework Uni has. HAHAHA brilliant.)

Oh forgot to mention how we were very pessimistic about our costume while we were just leaving lk's house. HAHA. And when we reached Sentosa we were so ashamed of our pink PJs that the first thing we did was to buy the masks, which turned out to be the best five bucks we've ever spent I think. HAHAHAHA. And after Clarice's praises about the costume, lk went gaga-yaya-papaya (whatever the correct phrase is) and went all high. HAHAHAHA. She even told this guy "GOOD TRY" for his costume. (Y) Damn win. HAHAHA. Talk about being mean lor. Lk you beat me hands down. xD

Okay I'm back to blog about the past week since both Kelly and LiuKun are busy blogging and stalking people respectively.

Went for Vampire Weekend concert with Huda on Tuesday! MOST AWESOME TUESDAY THIS ENTIRE YEAR I MUST SAY. :D :D :D

Chris! HE IS MINE. HAHAHHAHA.

Then on Thursday, ASCs went out again to watch Little Nicholas! It's full of little french boys and they are seriously too cute! The dimples, the hair, the well-dressed-ness, the language. OMG it's just so goooood. And the whole movie is so funny. xD It's the best family movie of the year. (Y)

Hahaha after the movie, we specially went somewhere to sit down to TALK. Hahahaha that's putting it too nicely, but it was damn funny. "BUT HE'S SO FAT!!" will forever be remembered. Srsly. HAHAHAHHAAH. xD

Oh and I FINALLY took a picture with RDJ! :D Teehee.

OGAY IMMA HAPPY GURLZZZZZZ. BUHBUAIZ. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

In the years to come, will you think about these moments that we shared?

2010-10-25T02:16:00.003+08:00

I suddenly miss Cedar.

Wel, not really sudden. I was talking to Adlin today during Climb On! (and I'm so glad I went :D) and as usual, we mention Cedar during our conversations. Plus, there was this young climber who was like fifteen or sth, and the emcee asked the crowd "What were you doing when you were his age?" or something along that line. Then Adlin and I looked at each other and gave that UHHHHH face. HAHAHAHAHHA. And I think I said sth like L-shaped position when spotting. HAHAHA. And like how we needed to have 3-point contact when climbing, the A-shaped pose and whatnot. It was ridiculous.

So thing is, I spent the past two hours just watching cedar-related videos on youtube and facebook etc. Omg I really miss Cedar right now. The old school campus, the people, the culture, the uniform. So much has changed, and as a typical human being who resists change, I hate the state of the school right now. But, who am I to speak?

I was watching the video of the making of National Day 2006, uploaded by Novabelle I think. I was so much thinner, with short cropped hair and in the beautiful Cedar uniform. And there was Abi and Ely planning with me too, along with Mr Yau. The so many hours of discussions and rehearsals omg. And there were scenes of the practice of the march-in of the outdoor parade by the UG in the huge courtyard. Now the courtyard is almost half the size or something. ): And omg the hot hot sun burning everyone but yet we still continue rehearsing. I remember our year's NDP Celebrations were one of the most awesome 'cause the indoor celebrations had a mass dance, which we taught during reading/jogging so people could skip these sessions (HAHAHA), fireworks in the backdrop, and confetti launches at the end. Not forgetting the lights Cedarians had to switch on in sequence of colours (and Mr Yau making the 'pointing' action during rehearsals) on top of our very high community singing. OMG I RLY MISS CEDAR. Because of Cedar, I love event planning, team work, staying back in school and everything about an active school life. But, I've seem to lost that. I've lost that feeling of I-should-do-eveything and I-can-do-anything. ):

And then I was watching this video of free hugs in Cedar. It was a really touching video but ended with them saying it was banned by Ms Nair because a student leader complained. HAHAHA. I really don't know which PC (I suppose) would have been so bo liao (for lack of a better word) to tip Ms Nair off, but I can simply conclude people hate PCs. D:
So anyway, point is, I miss all the random hugging, and covering eyes and all that we used to do in Cedar. It was really a very happy time and NOTHING such as awkward moments existed I swear. I miss that fact that we're all girls so we were kind of entitled to mood swings. And I absolutely miss the letter-writing and the AMAZING Valentine's Day. I remember I ordered 50 roses in Sec Two as gifts. And that's not counting the candles, boxes and chocolates along with little notes. We would go to school with a huge bag, and return home with an equally huge one 'cause we'd have received gifts too. :D Then there's all the other kind of special days like Racial Harmony Day where NOT dressing up would be weird and unfun. We would take photos like nobody's business and even with the teachers. AND OMG TEACHER'S DAY was a massive celebration and we would start planning it in advance (right after National Day ended I think) and get all the monitresses, and basically everyone, to help out in making gifts and coming up with performances. There are just so many events to list I can't possibly mention them all. But omg, I miss how we went all out to celebrate. There was just, no reason not to.

I don't really miss OAC to be honest. I miss LTC more. Being camper is the best in any Cedar camp I think. No responsibilities, no acting fierce, and most importantly, no excessively long debriefs. I think most of us look back and think of how silly we were when we were in those positions. Like, why is it even logical to ask for permission to enter the dining area? And why should we EVER use fear to do anything? We should have gone for LTB back then to learn about leadership and team buiding seriously.

I do miss being a PC, but now because of the people and event planning. I think I enjoyed the elections because it was quite fun - I mean you'd never get a chance to do all that again - but I must admit it was a stressful period because I was planning NDP as well. And I remember SuTing, QiXuan and YinXue helped me design my flyers! :D One thing though, I should have let HuiYi do my 'friend's speech'. Now that's one regret I can bring up during self-intro next time. /: The people were also great company. Exco was awesome, and even though we don't really meet up any more, I really hope we do keep in touch. Hahaha I still remember how we stayed in the PR clearing files, reading old, hand-written proposals out that had like scary horror storylines for camps. And the security guard scaring us when the school was about to close. After that, we went to Macs to continue our meeting, and then when we got home we continued to have online mass conversations. Oh and The Click Five was our jam when we walked out to PP. Omg those were the days. I kinda miss walking out to PP really slowly at about 7pm. The sun would be setting and we just talked and laughed and occasionally walked into lamp posts.

I miss having a class. I miss dumping my bag on my table every morning then running off to do errands and then returning to class about five minutes late due to meetings. I miss Jennifer, my laopo (HAHAHA) and tablepartnet because she's just awesome. Haha. We sat in the first row but were ALWAYS late for class so it was very embarrassing to suddenly come in. We'd both be sleepy (and then I'll be sleepING) and try to do PC duty during reading period so that we won't have to read ourselves. HAHA. I miss having Jamie and YinXue sit in front of me in lower sec too. Somehow. (Random) I think I really miss 4P and even though we only meet up like once of twice a year, I feel like I can talk about ANYTHING under the sun when I see them. It's like we can still talk like old friends. I mean technically we are, but there is no awkwardness AT ALL.

And I really miss you, HuiYi. Hahaha looking back I think we were soooo childish but during those times I really didn't think so. Hahaha. I miss Ikea trips with you, doing to the beach, watching movies in which you sob, giving you nice nice birthday presents. I don't miss but I remember we used to quarrel about things like me pangsehing you, or not having enough time for you, but look where we are now? Haha. And I remember how you helped me through my tests and exams and mugging together half-productively. To think we became close being of Angel and Mortal. xD We even had a blog together but it's been so freaking dead since years ago. HAHA. I don't know if we will be BFF but I sure hope it will be a long long time.

I really think, apart from post-As, I miss life in Cedar the MOST. Okay maybe those two are comparable, I dunno. I love how I was motivated and how we don't really judge, the teahers were awesome, the school food was cheap and I did what I loved. I REALLY REALLY LOVE CEDAR. More than I thought and can express. And I thing being a PC gave me all that. And yet, that is something that I'm not exactly excited to share now. Hahaha tell me why.

Okay done talking. I just think I need something to excite me in life right now. I cannot just go to school everyday, meet up for projects and all that. I need an exciting commitment, somethink like a CCA of some sort, to make me love school and love life again.

Never forget where you've come here from

2010-10-22T00:48:00.006+08:00

Okay now a proper post. Hahaha. If I don't blog about this, I will forget it soon.

So last Friday, I WENT FOR HALLOWEEN WITH JPR PEOPLE! :D Woohoo! It was highly-anticipated because we haven't been out in so long! And it was my first time to the Night Safari since like kindergarten and my first Halloween party (major)! But in the end, uh, it was kinda disappointing because I wasn't scared. Plus my slipper broke during the violent ten minutes inside the Haunted House. -.- So it wasn't that great an experience, but still, I must say, THE COMPANY WAS GOOD. :D

Photos! (Some only, since Yun Jing has yet to send me those she took. TSK.)

NURAAAAA. Who was hot as hell with that hair. Not forgetting the whip too.

Hahaha that's Raymond, Mahathir and I! HAHA it's amazing how they're like not exactly young and yet so outgoing. Now I must think of how I can be more creative than them. HAHA.

Nura spanking Nolan makes up the second-best moment of the night. The best moment is, of course, when Huda screamed during the tram ride. HAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

The tram ride was super predictable. The lights would turn green or red when ghosts were approaching, and then it would be dark when it was the animals' appearences. So I don't know why Huda was scared. But I think it was because the ghost did some staring or boo-ing on Gretchen's side of the tram, which Huda saw from the other end and then screamed. HAHAHA. To think we all thought it was Sume. xD Yeah Huda has these moments, which we'll prolly remember for life. HAHA. Or at least Facebook has it embedded in history.

So anyway, took some pictures and that was it. I think it was because we were too late. Ohwell. The car ride home with Serene was nice. I haven't seen her in so long! And we caught up and chat about stuff. Nice nice. Sigh I miss the leads: Serene, Jasmine and Edwin. They will forever be the three JPR pioneer leads and the best imo.

On Saturday, 08S54 went to Mellben to eat CHILLI CRAB! ;D

LOOKS AWESOMEZZZZZ RIGHT! :D :D :D It wasssss! The chilli sauce was so good we ordered more mantous to dip it in. OMG. I'm salivating now that I think of it.

The vegetables came first before the crab, and it was nice too. Hahaha I love cai, maybe that's why. xD

Girls present that day. Somehow I think we've stopped taking class photos because it's firstly, inconvenient, and secondly, not really demanded because we meet so very often. Hahaha. But I think we should take class photos because next time we can use them for birthday presents! HAHAHA. For memories' sake you know!

Went to play pool after that. Hahaha still remember pool used to be our favourite past time. At Paradiz, Marina Square and now AMK. HAHAHA. And it's fun every time we go! Because the girls are very lousy and the guys are very pro. But the easiest shots, taken by a girl, still has a 90% chance of not going in. HAHA. Unless, of course, we tyco. xD

I feel kinda bright here, but I tried to make up for it by making the 'heart' shape. HAHA.

The guys! Don't know why they always look so sian. No wonder we have so few photos of them. -.-

Okay there! My eventful weekend.

Oh and not forgetting Sunday! :D I shift swapped to work closing and had a wonderful time talking with Huda and YunJing! :D HAHAHA YunJing complains non-stop but it's funny, just like how Gretchen's monologues are. HAHAHA.

Quoted from YunJing:
"melban sharing + "LOSER" + descent in front of control rm + starry starry night + "NO WOR O_O" + .... = funny working times! but tiring. but still funny"

HAHA let me try to recall this. Loser came from my telling that to someone. HAHAHHAHAHA. Which I still think is inappropriate and funny, but heck, 'cause she kinda deserved it. Descent in front on controls was just epic, just that stupid Huda didn't do it so it was kinda spoiler. And I apparently did it better because I was shorter, wth. I shall skip starry starry night to avoid some embarrassment to YunJing, although I must mentione "WE ARE WAITING FOR MICHELLE!" was toooooo funny! HAHAHHAH. No wor was also hilarious because it's the first time I've heard someone say NO WOR when asked if her team member ID is supposed to be hanging out of her bag. Like, what kind of expression is that!?!?!!?? Hahaha and dinner at Long John was just the usual laughter and jokes and sharing of stories.

So yay, I like working on Sundays if we talk like that. Woohoo.

Alrightey byebye. Leave a tag if you got something to say! xD

Through our love-drowned eyes, we'll watch you sleep tonight

2010-10-21T23:57:00.000+08:00

Omg the new Take That single is amazingggggggg. :D Woohoo. I think I've listened to it about 30 times now. Hahaha. I don't really think I'll like an electropop record but it might surprise me! Maybe I'll finally hear them in clubs or sth! HAHAHAHA.

Okay let me get the fangirling out of the way first.

While waiting for Life As We Know It to start yesterday, I watched the Trailer of Due Date on the big screen! :D Omg HD HD HD. Damn it we were late, but at least we managed to catch the Due Date Trailer! :D Hahahaha I was so excited pls, even though I've watched it like twenty times or something.

And and and, at the bus stop outside SOB today, I was the billboard thingy of Due Date. OMGOMG. I wanted to take a picture of/with it but I was alone. ): Hahaha shit.

Okay that aside, I've concluded life is going to be great in November! :D Because Due Date is out, along with a lot of RDJ interviews etc, and Take That's album is out too, so that means loads of interviews and coverage too. HAHAHA.

Fangirling is scary when I type everything out. D:

So anyway, I watched The American on Monday with my sister and it was really good! :D Kinda slow-paced at the start but towards the end, it was really intense. Plus George Cloone is just pleasing to the eye so no problem staying engaged throughout the movie. xD HAHAHA. One thing I noticed was that everyone in the movie was shown without hint of hiding their age. The female supporting actresses and George Clooney himself all had those wrinkles and they did not try to hide them with make-up or anything. AND YET THEY STILL LOOKED SO GOOD. Sigh.

Life As We Know It was quite the typical rom-com. After watching Katherine Heigl after so long, I really miss her on Grey's Anatomy! ): The way she rambles when she speaks, the way the smiles and gets annoyed, all reminds me of Izzie Stevens. Even the way she is a control freak but still looks so amazing is SO Izzie. Sigh, I want her, and Burke, back on Grey's. ):

Okay by now I don't think anyone is reading alr. HAHAHA.
School has been quite slack this week, as seen from the fact that I've watched two movies! :D HAHAHA. Plus I'm watching Detective Dee tomorrow. It better be good! Le Petit Nicholas soon pls, YunJing! :D

When I'm in school with a laptop, everything online seems to come to a standstill. Like, I will refresh Facebook or Tumblr and there are NO NEW POSTS. And I'll be dying for any kind of updates but no, THERE IS NOTHING TO DO ONLINE. Sighhhhh. School makes me addicted to the internet because when I try to stay awake in class, I will go online. But even going online isn't helping. -.- And Tumblr is annoying because all the updates will come when I'm sleeping, because that's when the other side of the world is awake. Why am I in Singapore? ):

Okay byebye. I'm tired.

You're just like an angel; your skin makes me cry

2010-10-18T16:44:00.002+08:00

It is apparent that I don't update when I get busy!

School reopening is... depressing. HATE IT. Sigh but still gotta live with it. No choice. But then again, we desire so much freedom and choice; is it a good thing? Like I would choose not to go to school but obviously in the long run it's a bad bad thing. So maybe some rules and conformity are necessary to ensure society doesn't just degrade? I dunno.

Anyway, lk ps-ed me today to go home to do her business. ): So sad. See now I'm slacking like nobody's business. I have to read Biz Law, catch up on last week's lesson and do my AW draft. This is so not going to happen. Sigh. Why am I such a procrastinator?

And I've decided to go watch An American with my sister later so that is making matters worse. D:

You think that I'm strong. You're wrong, you're wrong.

2010-10-10T22:26:00.004+08:00

This song really explains how I feel right now. Well, at least the chorus.

Sigh. AW is literally making all my hair turn white. My sister just plucked a disgusting strand this morning. I swear I didn't have white hair in the first sixth months of this year. I'm almost done but cannot help procrastinating. WHY AM I ALWAYS SO LAST MINUTE. ):

You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.

— Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy

Why oh why do I find this so applicable?

In spite of all the heartache that you may cause me

FIRST THINGS FIRST: Happy 70th Birthday, Mister John Lennon!

Watched Baby Love on Wednesday! :D

The lead actor (guy in the middle in the above picture) is soooo charming omg. He has the sexiest accent, with killer eyes and smile. And the way he's so affectionate to his gay partner and also the female lead (without much of an ulterior motive at all) was so sweet. Sigh. And he's just simply hot. Yes, another hot, old man. But seriously, guys who age well ooze natural sex appeal.
Anyway, besides the brilliant cast, the story was very good too! It was a fresh idea, especially for conservative Asian viewers like me, and the drama was very well-balanced with humour. The supporting characters, too, played their roles with perfection. Good, good movie. :D

How come the movies I have high praise for somehow involve two gay men? A Single Man first, and then this? I think there's something very special about two affectionate men somehow.

Yesterday, LiuKun and I went photo-journaling! Along with Kelly, the helper. Hahahaha. Well, she mainly helped LiuKun but she did help me choose good photos. :D And spot the nice red water hydrant outside Roxy Square too. :D

Peektures!

This photo was so candid, none of us can remember what they were so flabbergasted at. HAHAHAHA.

Wrong focus. /:

I think this picture is damn nice. :D

Couple making out by the beach. TSKKKKK.

TIM ROTH FTW! :D Woohoo.

The weather was so humid throughout the day, along with the constant drizzle, so we were damn annoyed. Kelly had like a patch on her back 'cause of the sweat. Eeew. And we walked from Parkway to East Coast and then to VJ! Walked so much omg. But it was nice 'cause of the greenery, sand and the sea. Somehow, even at the ugly beaches in Singapore, such non-urban landscape was kinda enough to make us feel like we've escaped reality. Well, at least a little.

On our way to East Coast, I stopped by piles of leaves and trash to take photos, near this uncle and aunty who were talking. Suddenly, the aunty started asking us like what we were doing, and for what project etc. HAHAHAHH it was quite funny 'cause she was sort of fascinated with us taking pictures of rubbish. HAHA. Then there was a rubbish truck across the road and she told us to take a picture of it la, then Kelly replied 'Oh no la it's moving too fast." HAHAHHAAHHH WTH. Why are there random aunties along East Coast slacking while sweeping leaves and talking shit to strangers? Tourists should go there, 'cause at least when they smile to these old folks, they would be greeted back with a smile, or even some banter. Unlike those at Orchard or sth.

Anyhow, LiuKun kept getting into my pictures. Tsk. Hahahaha I prolly got into a lot of her shots too, but hers is from the perspective of a dog so it's okay! I think shots taken from low angles are much nicer than from our usual height due to the near-far contrast. Damn I should've used her idea. Hahaha. Turns out our photos quite similar I think?

We were so hot and it was so early for dinner that we didn't know where to go before dinnering at Thaipan. THEN WE HEARD NOISES ETC FROM VJ, and realised it's the open house! Hahahahahaha. So we wandered in and one of them exclaimed 'Milo truck!' HAHAHAHAH zds ttm. Sad that I couldn't really see any Cedarians or even Victorians I knew except the rock climbers. Sigh it means that I'm even older now, since I'd graduated so long ago. ): LiuKun called Ms Tee (while she was in the PT and got shushed hahaha) and we went over to find her! Had a good hearty talk with poor Kelly sitting one side and knitting, but all the while dissing LiuKun still. Hahaha sorry friend. xD

Thaipan dinner was... disappointing. Very filling, but it was pure quantity not quality. ):

And thennnnnnnnnnnnnn, I went home and slacked and did not do a single shit except watch videos and listen to Take That's new single The Flood, which got it's first airplay last night and will be released in November a few days before their albums. Mwahahaa exciting ttm though I so-do-not have time for fangirling. The rate at which I fangirl scares myself but I rather enjoy it.

DONT JUDGE ME OKAY. FANGIRLING IS GOOD 'CAUSE IT'S NOT REALITY.
Anything not reality is good because life sucks, take drugs.

P.S.: Teaching Facebook today made me realise how important it is to keep learning. I don't wanna be a old, useless person who cannot keep up with trends in the future. ):

Still a weirdo after all these years

2010-10-06T03:18:00.003+08:00

Had a wonderful dinner with Rockclimbers on Saturday! :D But sadly we all cui and nobody brought a camera. ): Keok took some pictures with her phone but I doubt she'll be uploading them 'cause they're few and of mediocre quality. /: Still happy that we still catch up, just that LUM WANLING I MISS YOU SO. Don't even think you'll see this but, you NEED TO TURN UP for our future outings! ):

Koi's Aloe Vera Passion Green Tea was very good! :D Glad they have new flavours now and again. :D XuRong was being annoying by complaining that we should take the bus. He even wanted to walk underground from Bras Basah to Bras Basah just 'cause of the aircon. I think he doesn't realize by now that train stations don't exactly have very effective air-conditioning. -.- Had a good chat with them lads so that was nice. :D

Then WeiLiang, Gabriel, XuRong and I went to watch Nowhere Boy! :D I like the last some 'In Spite of All The Danger' the most! :D Esp the backing vocals. Anyway the film was a good biography of John before Beatles conquered the world, though I was hoping there would be more footage of Beatles' performances. Ohwell. Paul was rather charmingly portrayed too. (: So yes all you Beatles fan please go catch it. :D

On Sunday I went to work and it was actually a rather good day! :D Hahaha the ride didn't break down like I secretly hoped it would. But I think it's a good thing anyway 'cause I think I might feel quite lost not having done evacs for a long time now. Anyway, I didn't feel really tired throughout the day! ;D It's like I could do everything well and not feel sleepy or what. Plus I talked with a lot of people and caught up with matters at JPR and all the gossip all. Hahaha. It was a rather good day really. Just that, I think if I'd stayed and talked to Huda, Sume and Gretchen, they day would've been better.

Monday was spent mj-ing with BGE! :D Hahaha I kept jacking Teddy but too bad, he's nice to bully. HAHA. I lost like 12 bucks but hopefully Vincent won it all back! xD And on a random note, I think it's so cool that Iris can drive? Hahaha it was the first time I'm sitting in a car driven by somebody my age so that is really quite cool. And the way she drives isn't like noob or anything. Hahaha even though she is female, yes. Female drivers aren't all sucky. Serene is another example. So anyway, we had a rather good time at Iris' house! (: Eating and listening to music and playing around with Facebook (hahaha their fave pasttime I swear) and of course, mahjonging. :D Woohoo.

Movie with YunJing, Huda and Zahirah after that! Hahaha Huda does not know how to walk to Cathay from PS! LIKE SERIOUSLY SHE DOESN'T HAVE A EFFING CLUE. HAHAHHAHA. So I was on the phone directing her towards Cathay, and then I realised that I would be walking over from PS too. HAHAHA damn silly.

Then we had dinner at Popeyes which entailed a hilarious conversation! HAHAHA. I can't really list down what we talked about, neither do I want to, but it was really funnny it left me in stitches. My jaw was hurting by the end of it. It wasn't just work, but also loads of stuff about life in general and all. I dunno it was just a damn good time. Oh and YunJing passed me the postcards of Due Date that she took! :D WOOHOO. I should frame it up or something HAHAHHAHAHA.

So anyway, we watched Welcome, one of the selections from the French Film Festival this year. It had a morbid ending I think. ): I mean life isn't all fairy-tale, but the way it was told was just so sudden and I dunno, unexpected? Or maybe it was just me. I expected more continuation than just the boy drowning like that, you know? ): Sad endings are honest but not pleasing, at all. Anyway, I thought that the swimming coach's wife was really pretty. Hahaha she reminded me a little of Will Shuester's wife (HAHHAHAHHAHA VERY WTH I KNOW). Ohwell, anyway it was a good start to my start of the film fest. (:

Hahaha one picture which Huda camwhored.

Oh everyone if you have the time, go watch An Idiot Abroad. On youtube or download or whatever. IT IS BLOODY HILARIOUS HAHAHA.

Watched All That Glitters with Kelly tonight after shopping at Haji Lane with YiRong this afternoon. Hahaha lazy to type the details out; it was another day spent slacking and enjoying life in summary. Only bought a pair of shorts throughout the day because I couldn't find the slippers that I wanted. ): The movie was alright only, maybe that's why it isn't screened at Cathay in the first place. Ohwell. Watching Baby Love tomorrow so that should be a good one! :D

YAY MOVIE MARATHONING THIS WEEK. I LIKE.

Holiday oh Holiday and the best one of the year

2010-10-01T00:09:00.004+08:00

So birthday celebrations this year started when I went out with the JPR girls on 8th September! :D Post is below. Then there was a pause before all celebrations resumed! :D

On the 16th, I went to Molly Malone's Irish Pub with YiRong, SherLi and WanQin! :D Hahaha it's kinda cool how the four of us still go out regularly after the TaiWan trip almost two years ago. Best part is YiRong always finds nice and new places for us to try so it's kinda like an adventure. :D

Pictures!

Hahaha damn it my centre parting is just disgusting.

YILONG!!

Really really loved the interior of the place. (:

Cutting my birthday (moon)cake. Om nom the durian was sooooo good it was orgasmic srsly.

SherLi bought the mooncake from some mooncake fair and really, the durian inside was really really damn good. It was deliciously shiok I think words cannoy describe it. Think she mentioned it was $11 for one mooncake but it's well-worth the money I say! Hahaha during dinner they were saying like how we should try out a new dessert place nearby which served really good durian and I got damn excited. Then when they took out the mooncake I was genuininely surprised! HAHAHA like why would there be a durian dessert shop at Boay Quay right?!?!?! I am too guillible srsly. D:

So anyway, thank you, you three awesome people! Haji Lane and more shopping next pls! :D

Then on the 17th, I had an unintended dinner with LiuKun and Kelly. Haha I thought I would have been having dinner with my Laos OCSP group but no, none of them suggested dinnering so I decided to join these two instead. Haha Kelly brought us to the Si Mian Fo coffeeshop claiming there was damn good Thai tse char there but I don't remember it existed and it really closed down! HAHAHA. (Okay I bet you're gonna say 'You Suck!') So I brought them to the beef noodle shop where my SMUX group ate the other time but LiuKun doesn't take beef! D: So my bad my bad. Then we walked to Shaw Towers 'cause there was good Thai food I remember near Tom's Palette but there was a bloody long queue! D: And when we decided to join the queue, the guy came over to us and said they're closing the queue AS OF NOW. Hahahahah what rotten luck right. Then I asked him if any other Thai restaurant was nearby and he recommended one at Liang Seah street. HAHAHA from there we could see Bugis, which was our initial meeting point. We literally just walked one big round. In the end the food was mediocre only some more. D: Hahaha.

Butbutbut we went for dessert! We decided to try out The Dessert Factory which was above this very busy steamboat shop! OMG it is like so hidden I hope word of it never gets out because I love to be exclusive. HAHAHA. The interior was really very comfy and cushy and they played nice pop singalong music in the background. JUST MY TYPE. Haha. We ordered a brownie and come butter-pudding thingy which I forgot the name of. Peektures ahead.

The orgasmicccccc soft brownie with vanilla ice-cream. SIMPLY HEAVENLY I TELL YOU. I will definitely recommend this to everybodyyyy.

YAYYYY long neck. Plus LiuKun looks like an autistic emo kid at the bottom. HAHAHAHA. (Y)

Somehow I think this photo is nice. Our faces? The colour? I dunno.

Last but not least, PLK! :D :D :D See how much we love you? Hahahahaha.

So as you can see, LiuKun is heavily addicited to Photobooth.

On the 18th, PinnXian brought me to PS Cafe at Dempsey! :D
Haha we were supposed to just go for the Penang Buffet but she wasn't feeling well. What for go to a buffet when you can't eat all you want! Plus, it would've been all spicy or fried food. So we decided to cab down to PS Cafe and ohmy it really is a lovely place!

It doesn't feel like Singapore at all. The secludedness of it, along with the many plants and stuff around along with the smell of bacon and roast bread in the air complementing the aroma of coffee was just amazing. We sat al fresco at first, but moved in because it was getting hot around noon. I ordered this Big Breakfast thing and PX ordered mushrooms with baked potato. The food was delicious and in huge proportions though it left us wanting more! I think it's a perfect plact for two people to have brunch and just talk and chill-out. :D

One of our rare pictures!

YAY let's go for a good brunch again some time! :D

After that, I met up with my beloved 08S54 at Clarke Quay! :D Hahaha in the end we went back to Brewerkz. The journey to Brewerkz was quite scary because there was a TaiWan food fare going on and it was people mountain people sea! D: We had to like squeeze past people and there were little kids running about with the young and old everywhere. Totally didn't look like Clarke Quay anymore. D:

YAY I LOVE YOU SHER. :D

I can't remember what we were talking about but this photo's captured our laughter. xD Haha I like.

Haha ShuHan looks damn read after downing the 3/4 glass of beer.

Class shot! Lacking some people though. But good company nonetheless! :D

Then we decided to go for drinks at Boat Quay. So dear JingWei brought us around, crossing this bridge then walking down this path and tunnel to God-knows-where. Hahaha seriously on the way we were like 'huh are we there yet? Where is this?' and all that. But somehow, prolly 'cause we were talking, we just kept walking in that WRONG direction. So we turned around and made our way towards the flyer. Haha we were saying that by the time we reach the pub, it would've been happy hour (11pm) already. -.-

So our legs took us to Harry's, JingWei's choice again. We sat in the smokers' corner but thankfully we did not have to experience second-hand smoke the entire time! :D

To start things off, JingWei ordered a Jagerbomb and ShuHan ordered a Flaming Lamborghini!

HAHAHA and I look at it in fascination. xD I didn't know how it works: the guy will light up the alcohol, the person starts drinking and halfway through the guy will pour in milk(?). The whole process is rather cool! Hahaha and I sound damn noob. Anyway, she downed it and was still very much sober! PRO!

ChinBoon has an Orgasm (HAHAHAHHAHA) and the rest of us ordered either typical cocktails or fruit juices. Haha Randy was being very cute 'cause he kept ordering iced water for ShuHan 'cause she just kept drinking.

Okay then the girls went on the spam pictures. Hahaha thank you WenKai for taking! xD

ChinBoon and ShuHan shared another Flaming Lambo. And then we ordered another two to be shared. Hahaha this time I decided to try (even though I know I cannot really withstand shots) and it was so shiok! I drank a bit only but turned super red. HAHAHA damn noob la but it's always fun to try! :D

Hahaha JingWei looks really drunk and high.

By the end of the night, I think we spent like $171 or something. Hahaha mainly on shots, and all for the fun of it. I think the one JingWei ordered (with the inverted shot glass) was kinda cool too. Hahaha WenKai "accidently" tilted it such that it leaked and JingWei had to drink it immediately. xD

Hahaha fun fun fun! Hang out again plsss! Chilli crab next time! :D And more drinks!

Then on Sunday, I went shopping with Sher in the morning for the paegent stuff. (: Hahaha it was very fast shopping with an aim, just that it was damn sian when we couldn't find what we wanted and there was no pleasure 'cause there was no browsing. Hahaha.

Then went to Ana's house for Hari Raya Celebration! Her house is so beautiful! Just like a museum of sorts. And the food her family prepared was delicous it could've been mistaken for restaurant food. So anyhow, I really didn't expect them to remember by birthday since the people in SMU don't really know it. But after sitting around and chatting for some time, Ana came with the cake! Jewelry bought it, SO SWEET OF HER. :D

HAHAAHAHA Thaddeus says Linton looks like Elmo here. xD And don't you think Ana is very pretty! I'm amazed at how she can wear her costume for the whole day without sweating like a pig. Or rather, how she can tolerate it. D:

On Monday, the actual day itself, I had a lovely brunch with the Mom at Concorde Hotel! Good food ttm I tell you. Had more delicious bacon and scrambled eggs. (Y) And their chicken porridge was very good too.

Then while I was at PS buying FBT shorts in Carrefour, dear Daphne called! She and Adlin were at the void deck of my house and I was out! HAHAHHAAHAH DAMN JOKE. The day before I'd told Adlin I was free in the morning (since the brunch thing was kinda impromptu). So I excitedly rushed outta Carrefour and when I reached Carl's Jr., I realised that I HELD THE FBT SHORTS IN MY HANDS, WITH THE HANGERS. HAHAHHAHAHAH wth right! Like, the exit didn't even beep when I left! So being the very honest person that I am, I went all the way back to Carrefour and on my way in the barrier beeped. -.- Wth right. I could've just taken off with two pairs of short and hangers. HAHAHA zds.

So anyway, I was quite worried to allow Daphne and Adlin into my home 'cause it was BLOODY messy. Like one of those messy rooms the taiwan shows introduce, where there are mountains of clothes and stuff lying all around the room there's no space to walk. Yeah that's my room. But the worst thing is, my messiness had spread to the dining area and living room so my whole house looked a horrible state. D: Shall not put pictures of my house.

Turns out that they brought breakfast for me! :D Teehee so sweet. Reminds me of WanLing's birthday earlier this year, which was more successful. xD I was very full already so we just talked while they ate, and took pictures of my house. ): Then we took nice timer photos on my dusty cupboard. HAHA.

Hahahah this one damn funny.

Adlin's handwriting always so nice. Teehee.

Then at twelve, I HAD TO GO TO AMK CC FOR LTB. D: We had to meet Albert, the guy in charge of our project and do some recee as well as discuss details. So sian right, to do project on my birthday. But then when I compare it to previous years where I spent my birthday studying, or worse still, sitting through exams, I'm thankful for this year. I mean, even though my birthday is on a weekday, I HAVE NO SCHOOL ON MONDAYS. :D

So in the end it was a productive meeting so I guess that was good enough? Then I cabbed back with Roy and Yujia to school so that I could take a bus from Prinsep street. HAHA I refused to step into school grounds on my birthday so I went to the bus stop once I got off the cab. xD

Then met LiuKun at 5pm to shop at Orchard! :D :D :D Haha been craving to wear long-sleeved tops to school recently so I bought two tops from Uniqlo. I also bought another dress from this shop at the basement. Hahaha money gone just like that. Sigh. But that was to make up for weeks of not shopping so heck it!

Lk had booked places at Hard Rock Cafe so we walked over all the way from Somerset 313 and when I got there, I SAW KELLY AND DEBORAH! Hahahhaha shit I didn't expect it AT ALL. Like really, I almost wanted to cancel the shopping with lk in the first place 'cause it seemed so inconvenient for us to meet with her other appointments and all. But omg? How could I have not guessed that there was a surprise for me?!!?!?

Hard Rock truly lives up to its name and brilliant music was played throughout the night. Hahaha they played mostly live performances but I remember one really gay video by a vengaboys-type group and it was srsly damn hilarious. Hahaha too bad they mostly showed performances from American music festivals (even though there was James Morrison). It would've been awesome if some Take That was played. xD

So after dinner, I STUPIDLY WENT TO THE TOILET. And when I came back, the Hard Rock Cafe people announced to the whole cafe that it was my birthday, and requested for me to go onstage while everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. EMBARRASSING TTM. D: Plus their chair was very shaky and I was wearing a skirt so the whole getting up process was quite difficult. Then there was this angmoh lady sitting right in front of the stage who totally gave me a kb face but I had no choice but to smile back since I was involuntarily smiling to everyone 'cause I was so paiseh. D:

But, thankyou LiuKunnfor choosing Hard Rock and making it so memorable! Not a good experience but a unforgettable one nonetheless! xD

Oh and thanks for the flowers all of you! (:

Haha five random people. I realised our only connection is Cedar. Or we can say we're all leaders with the exception of lowly camper lk. HAHHHAHHA.

Oh and we found out Kelly's ring can be used as a fish-eye even for normal digital cameras! :D Hahaha so cool right. I would so buy her ring pls.

Hahhahaa I dunno what we were doing.

Hahaha didn't realise Kelly's fingers before.

Deborah

Sharron

So yes it was a wonderful wonderful dinner with awesome people! :D
But dyknow what! IT BECAME MORE AWESOME BECAUSE WE FOUND OUT KUMAR HAS A SLOT ON MONDAYS AT HARD ROCK! :D :D :D He was supposed to come on at 10.30 pm so we stayed for him. But in the end he only came on at 11.30. Fashionally late huh.

Still, it was WORTH THE WAIT, simply because he is Kumar. His stand-up is hilarious and the flow from joke to joke is just so seamless I wonder if it's rehearsed. I think it still boils down to experience 'cause surely he was very noob when he started out. Haha. Anyhoot he wishes to be called a she and SHE is very skinny! And very gorgeous too. Haha she took off her killer heels once her opening number was over but was still towering.

KUMAR FTW! :D I can't tell her jokes as well as her so I'm definitely going back again, and this time for the full set.

Ahhhh Hard Rock Cafe = AWESOME.

The next day I had dinner with Sher and LiXuan at the 3 Monkey's Cafe at Holland V. Hahaha it wasn't really meant to be a birthday thing so it was intimate and simple. And we just chatted about life and stuff. Good times. I really miss daily conversations, especially with Sher.

So there! MY VERY EVENTFUL BIRTHDAY 2010. It was the BEST birthday I've had in years, maybe ever, and I am very thankful for all the friends I have!

You guys make me love life! :D

P.S.: It's been a bloody long post so congrats for making it to the end. xD

I am in misery; there ain't nobody who can comfort me

2010-09-29T00:42:00.002+08:00

Biz Law test tomorrow and I swear the past week has been all about mugging about it. I am now a SMUGGER and no it isn't something that feels good. It might be good, I mean the results and the fact that I'm productive and absorbing what I've learnt during lessons. But the lack of going out and movies is slowly killing me. It's been two weeeks since my last movie and the last I watched was Grown Ups. Like seriously KILL ME.

Bought tickets for Welcome today! :D French Film Festival ftw! :D Hahaha. I wish I could catch more films but I guess it's good enough being able to co-ordinate one with the ASCs. And thank God for the recess week that is incoming! :D Woohoo. I also wanna watch The Infidel, Nowhere Boy and also Wall Street (even though most people say this last one sucks). Ohwell. Movies next week please. I need to have the right to do what I love.

ADAM LAMBERT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING. The 20000 of you who were there will know what I mean, and words do no justice to what this amazing man does. So I shall stop here. Hahahaha. The many hours of queueing were all worth it because of the one hour of pure entertainment he gave us.I sang along to every song with all the breath I had and jumped like nobody's business despite carrying my backpack. And not to forget waving around the blue lightsticks which represent Glamberts! And I helped this girl from the SG Glamberts to raise the sgglambert banner when Adam first appeared on stage. Hahaha I was really damn high omg I wanna relive it.

Concerts are expensive, many people say, but to me, they are worth every cent because for that one to two hours, I get an experience that I cannot get anywhere else. No, watching videos on youtube are not enough. And definitely not just listening to their music alone, because their physical presence is all that matters once I'm at their concert. Their songs are embedded in my mind already so singing along is involuntary. My eyes are fixed on them and for that period I am enthralled by the talent they possess and display. Plus, the queueing and meeting of like-minded people make the whole experience even more worthwhile. It makes me realise I'm not alone in tiny Singapore, though people like me are few.

Now I need to save up for more concerts. Money is hard to earn, even harder to save and EASY LIKE HELL TO SPEND.

Btw YenTing hope you liked the present! (:

Why does your pride make you run and hide

2010-09-23T21:30:00.004+08:00

I WANNA BLOG ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND SO BADLY BUT I HAVE NO BLOODY TIME. I PROMISE I MUST AND WILL DO A FULL POST OF IT WITH PICTURES AND COMMENTARY BECAUSE I DON'T EVER WANNA FORGET ONE OF THE BEST BIRTHDAYS I'VE EVER HAD.

THANK GOD 20TH SEPTEMBER 2010 FALLS ON A MONDAY AND I DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL ON MONDAYS! :D

Okay end of caps spam.

(The only disappointment this year was not being able to meet PNGHUIYI who is alwayssssss so busy! ): Plus I really wanted to go surprise you on Tues but NUS is really so far. How I wish you were still at SK. ): Got present for you you know. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your 19th! :D)

On the other hand, I fell sick on the 21st. HAHAHHHHAA. Just one day after my amazing weekend. So loser right. Seriously cui because I just recovered from a bout of fever and sore throat about three weeks ago and am supposed to have better immunity but no, I am down again. And with the same shit - fever, sore throat, head ache and body ache. Damn loser. So on the 21st I was out with Sherlyn and LiXuan for dinner at Holland V, and after LiXuan left, I went to sit down with Sher at Coffee Bean. After sitting inside for barely ten minutes, I was SHIVERING. Like those kind of teeth-chattering, chill-to-the-bone type of shivering. And mind you, I was wearing a cardigan and all. I WAS SO SO SO COLD. So after sleeping at home the whole of yesterday (and missing Biz Law and TWC, the two important classes I die-die have to attend every week, which also happen to be the two being tested next week omg -.-), I decided I was well enough for school today even though I had a two-day MC. So I wore a white t-shirt with another long-sleeved shift over, thinking that, as usual, school would be damn cold. By the time I reached school - and I didn't even run, much less brisk walk - my white t-shirt was soaking wet. WTH rightttt. All of a sudden my sweat glands were working at full efficiency. Gah. Luckily the school aircon didn't fail my expectations and I was practically dry in about twenty minutes. Argh hate being sick. Only good this is I really slept a lot yesterday, so despite the drowsy medication I took today, I was still super-duper awake. :D

By the way, Kelly, I've been to your new blog (linked it from lk's haha) and I can't find my link there so I dunno what you're talking about. HAHAHA. But it's okay I think it's just hidden, no need to show me. Anyway, by tagging on my blog, YOU WANT ME TO LINK YOU BACK IS IT. HAHAHAHAAHH. If you want just say la. xD

Okay done with short update.
Now, on to CT Journal, LTB slides and AW Assignment. Seriously, work just piles up.
I'm even going back to school on Sunday, and naively I was thinking after Adam on Saturday night, I could have a good sleep and stroll to work at two the next day.
Life is NEVER that easy.

Nobody knows just why we're here
Could it be fate or random circumstance
At the right place at the right time
Two roads intertwine

And all that went away was the price we paid

2010-09-14T03:16:00.003+08:00

It's a quarter after three, I'm all alone and I need to mug. (Hahaha taken from Need You Now. Sorry, low-level joke.)

Sigh I need to embark on my 21-page article on how to create creative dialogue between sources. -.- And tomorrow I will have to mug really hard for Biz Law. Sigh need to make notes and get ready for the test in two weeks. Everything is rushing by. ): And Facebook and Tumblr need to stop having updates because I just keep refreshing them. Correction: They don't need refreshing in the first place. Omg I need to get away from the laptop. Pronto.

Mugging with LiuKun was not very productive today. She kept watching her show and reading 8 days! D: Hahaha okay fine she did practice for her presentation, but!!!

Sandcastle was not bad, and very Cannes, as I had expected. Many slow pan shots and prolonged scenes of still life. The acting and all was rather nuanced, and I've never seen the boy before so that was good! Haha I would be quite sian if the lead actor was one of them from I Not Stupid or something. I think the Mother, especially, acted well. Oh and I kinda hated the chinese girl. I think the only reason why they chose one from China instead of a local one was to have someone read the traditional chinese (Fan ti zi) characters, which to me, is not a good-enough reason. Overall, it was a good movie la. Go catch it! (Because it will probably not be released on DVD and quite definitely won't be uploaded anywhere online. xD)

Alrightey. I should stop fangirling too. But I won't. :D

See I'm a young soul in this very strange world hoping I could learn a bit but what is true and fake

2010-09-10T16:06:00.003+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim friends! Hahaha.
I want to see Huda in her baju kurong. Why oh why won't she wear it to V Conference? ):

So since I'm very free today, slacking around and stuff, I blogsurfed to the Prefects' blog. Hahaha the one which Arica created when we were Sec 2 I think. And I remember posting in multi-coloured letterings with sometimes huger and smaller font, talking about how awesome we were and to jiayou for the upcoming projects. Yeah, those were the days. And today, as I look at the sidebar, I no longer see names I recognize. Even the Sec 4 PCs are strangers to me. Sigh, how old have I become, really? I'm almost 19, three years since I've graduated. That isn't very long, right? How come I don't see the Cedar that I knew before anymore? So so so much has changed. ):

Change. We don’t like it, we fear it. But we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But here’s the truth. Sometimes the more things change the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh sometimes, change is good. Sometimes change is everything.
- Grey's Anatomy

How true is that.

On another hand, I miss Grey's Anatomy. But no worries, because it's coming back! :D ALL THE SHOWS ARE. Glee, Big Bang Theory, Grey's, Private Practice, Good Wife, and all the shows, they're coming back this September. Only show that's ending is Lie To Me. ): But it's okay, because Grey's trumps everything else.

Celebrated the birthdays of September babies on Wednesday with the ASCs! :D Woohoo. I'm just generalizing ASCs because we know who we are! :D

YenTing the best organiser ever! :D Love you!

Our amazing birthday cakes. Baked by the dear YenTing. Mine has cute balloons. :D And after a while the icing started to melt so the cake said "Happy 11th Birthday YuSin!" Hahaha totally made my day, that. xD

HAHAHHAH seriously the main focus of this photo should be Huda.

And I don't know who was playing at Timbre that night but they were awesome. We were there for the first half of their set and they played brilliant songs. Hahaha it was only during their intermission that we could hear ourselves and others talking. Then the songs they played during the second half were even better! :D Don't Look Back In Anger got YunJing and I all high simply because, uh, Oasis ia awesome? And it was the first song we sang together, during the cycling period. Oh, memories. Then they played Creep which got me allllll high because it's my number 1 depressing song. HAHAHA. Sume kinda hated it I think but I insisted we stayed till the end of that song at least.

Throughout the night they also played Dancing Queen and other songs. Haha can't remember already. We thought they were gonna sing Nothin' On You but they didn't. Ohwell. Oh and before their set, while songs were just played over the speakers, they tastefully played Back For Good! OMG I wanted to fangirl so bad but I couldn't because it was kinda embarrassing. Hahaha I wanted to wave my hands in the air for the entire song at least you know.

Okay I don't know how to describe the night already. All I know is that is was the most brilliant time I've had in ages. :D I love all of you who were present that night! And I really really hope we stay this way.

I don't wanna die, but I ain't keen on living either

2010-09-08T17:04:00.004+08:00

Prof believes in JITT! :D Just In Time Training, where you go for training only when you need it. SO SO SO TRUE. I believe in it toooo. It's also known as last minute chioning but, isn't it true? We study it only when we need it, unless, of course, it's fumdamentalr or life skills or stuff like that. Hahaha. But for now, isn't it enough to just learn for the moment? We can always revise (and should too) when the situation requires ir.

Actually Prof Foong is very funny. Why doesn't anyone wanna laugh as much as me! Almost EVERYTHING he says makes me want to laugh, because his face doesn't change AT ALL when he makes a funny statement. Hahaha like srsly. I think I'm one of the few who practically doze off during other groups' presentations but stay wide awake when Prof starts to preach.

Lessons learnt in TWC:
Never say no. Esp to big bosses.
Singapore sells ideas to the world. We come up with the idea, and let other countries do it with their resources. We provide the brain power.

Hahaha just now this group showed this video of what Singapore will be like in 2015. Taxi drivers and little boys were using iPad-sized tablet-y gadgets that has a transluscent screen (like those Tony Stark used in the Iron Man 2 courtroom). HAHAHAHAH SRSLY?! I really hope that day will come, because RDJ makes using such gadgets wayyyy cool. :D

Went to Everything With Fries on Saturday with 08S54! :D Teehee I love how we're still going out frequently. (: And I love ShuHan's camera! It's almost like a DSLR but in compact form. Cool shit.

Yay the photos are so good. :D

Dinner tonight with JPR girls and SMUX group! :D YAY.

Light up, light up, as if you have a choice

2010-09-06T18:04:00.003+08:00

This is what I encounter while Tumblring after reading a chapter of Biz Law.

HAHAHAHAHA. YAY Iron Man 2 DVD is out this month! :D Woohoo.

Going to LiuKun's house in a while to finish up my 1000-word critique. Sigh. GP all over againnnnn. But, we're determined to finish it! :D

September should be a month of saving for me. Hahaha.

I'm only dreaming, I'm only by your side.

2010-09-03T03:11:00.002+08:00

YunJing you suck because you disabled comments in your latest post! >: (
Anyway I wanted to comment that I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU MEAN when you say there's something surreal about listening to music blasting in your ears when you're travelling home at night. Especially for buses. There is a sort of un-singapore feeling to it. Very dreamy, and just feels like you've escaped out of life. I get that too. :D Esp now that I'm busing home more often from school.

Anyway, Biz Law presentation is overrrrrrrr! :D

My Biz Law group.

Hahaha we were so against wearing white/black and suits at first but on the morning itself, it actually felt very awesome to be in it. :D Hahaha. Think the other groups were rather impressed too. Oh well, we're the first group so I think the benchmark should be set high! :D Prof didn't really seem to like it initially so we were quite worried. But I think the skit parts bought us some brownie points! xD The Q&A part felt quite screwed up but after the class, a few people came up to say it was a high standard to follow, so. Well not sure if they're just saying it. Hopefully not!

Anyway it's over so whatever. Hahahaha. Now, back to STUDYING for Biz Law. I totally didn't read Chapter 8 just to prepare for this presentation. And had a fever. AND BLOODY LOST MY VOICE. Yes that is right, I cannot speak now. ): Very sad. I hope I get well before Sunday.

Went to town today and my wireless@sg couldn't work AGAIN! ): So annoyed.

Grammar test was plain spot-the-difference, except for one question. Well, hopefully I get more than 80% for that additional 3 marks! (:

I need to make school less of my life. I WANT MY LIFE BACK. But, what exactly is 'life'? Doing things we like? I think I like non-routine things in this case. I like to randomly catch a movie. I like to go for a good concert every once in a while. I treasure the times I manage to catch a rainbow or a really beautiful sky. I get excited when I hear good music that I haven't heard before. I flail when I hear Take That in a supermarket or random shop just because. I like it when someone asks me out for dinner impromptu and we have an enjoyable one together. I dislike having obligations like turning up for lessons or work (though I really love the company :D).
At almost every stage of my life, I will say 'I want my life back'. But seriously, all this IS MY LIFE. I have to stop feeling so dissatisfied with school. I need to love it again, at least half of how I love Cedar (still do).

Oh, can I just say how much I love Awesome Sunday Casuals? :D :D :D

TEEHEE.

Now I'm excited for work every Sunday again! xD And it's totally hilarious how PeiLin bumped Sume out just to take photos with us. HAHAHAHHHA. This Sunday I'm not working though. I think I deserve a rest. :D

Words come easy when they're true

2010-09-01T01:04:00.002+08:00

Excited for Robbie and Gary's new single. :D Shame is awesome. Haha.

Wanted to say how I'm going to sleep now (0106hrs) and waking up at six tomorrow (well, technically TODAY). Sigh. Still must iron white blouse and blazer. Lazy leh. But must, because it's Biz Law presentation. Haven't done this since forever.

I have had the Emmy's downloaded in my computer since yesterday, but OMG NO TIME TO WATCH. It's been more than half a year since I've had that trouble. Plus, the new episode of Lie To Me just got here today and no, I cannot watch it also. Feedback I've seen so far says that this week's episode is damn good. SIGH.

Okay must chill. Must believe that after tomorrow, life resumes. Well, kinda.

Biz Law presentations really take the life outta me. Saying Uni does so kinda generalizes what sucks, because really, Biz Law is what takes it to the ultimate level. My TWC group is wayyyyy less up about our presentation. Haha.

Oh and I have observed and concluded when I'm really sick. When I feel unusually cold and have solid-y phlegm along with severe headache, I am prolly too unfit for school. Plus the confirmation of a fever of more than 38.5 degree celsius, and also the fact that an 8-hour sleep does nothing to help. Yeah, that's my seal of approval not to turn up for school. (Esp so if it's just a 1.5-hour AW lesson.)

Okay goodnight. I'm off to catch my forty winks.

Everybody does it cause it feels alright and it's more polite

2010-08-24T02:59:00.002+08:00

Long post ahead, but I'm gonna type it anyway 'cause I think it's worth remembering?

School has started and it sucks so far. I mean the friends I've made are awesome and I'm glad everyone else is very ready to make new friends as well! I have new lunch buddies on Mondays from my Academic Writing class and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have people to eat and sit with in between lessons. That's not bad. And Fridays are spent with LiuKun at Creative Thinking so that's awesome for me, because that's one lesson in which I have the most Class Part and also make funny observations and comments with her. :D Hahaha flattered or not, lk? :D

But Biz Law really sucks my blood out. Prof Melvin Chew is very good, as in he is rather funny and his perfect enunciation of words really makes me want to listen to every word he says. I can sit through his seminar of three hours, having not read the text (which btw, is TABOO and the stupidest mistake I will make a point never to commit ever again), and not fall asleep! The old me from VJ would never have been able to do that. But I guess it's the nature of the class that keeps me awake. Since Class Part is important, I have to listen carefully in order to give my inputs, or else my ten per cent would virtually vanish. Scariest part is that he will tick against your name whenever you answer or ask a question so that makes everyone much more uptight. The quantitative style of grading causes the more vocal to shine and people like me to panic, because I don't freaking understand what he is asking, NOR WHAT THEY'RE ANSWERING. It kills me. Bottomline is, I dislike Biz Law now but I hope I grow to love it because I think the Prof is brilliant, and I don't wanna waste it. Besides, I usually do well when I like the Prof.

TWC is currently confusing me because I want to send in questions for Q&A (which kinda replaces the Class Part segment for my Prof) but I don't know when to do it. In his email, it's stated that no questions are allowed to be sent before the class. So we have to do it during the class? And they'll be read out at the end? How will we formulate good questions in such notice? Since we are graded qualitatively for this one, I sure am going to prepare before going to class on Weds. One thing great about Prof Peter Foong is that he DOESN'T BELIEVE IN VISTA. Hallelujah. He passes around a CD with all the files that we'll need this Sem for us to copy into our laptops. Brilliant. And attendence is taken by ourselves through Vista, even though he warned us against doing it even when we're not in class because he knows. Well, I'm not very sure about that but with two TAs around, it pays to be safe. Anyway his lessons are rather interesting because he is an old man and likes to show us old stuff. Well, at least he did in the first lesson. Stuff from the 60s interests me. A lot. :D

I have Academic Writing class tomorrow and I need to read four articles and choose one to do a critique on. That's like so GP and English-y that I can't really stand it. But, it's the easiest task amongst all the homework I have from the other modules and I shall do it. Lesson is at twelve so I will read it earlier. Prof Shirley James is the motherly-type figure and I can tell she really just wants the best of us. You know, that kind. And she goes slow so that's good as well, as opposed to the intense Biz Law class I have. Yeah, I've always loved English lessons. :D

Okay so that's about it for school academically. Projects are starting soon so I foresee a lot of group meetings and powerpoints and presentations. Typical SMU-style. I think I'm good at it, but relatively it might be another story. Somehow, EVERYONE in SMU looks eloquent, smart and capable of doing things much better than I do. I will need to work really hard! Which is why I went mugging with LiuKun today at The Heeren. I read through Biz Law and I must say reading the textbook before class really helps! I think I'll just need to listen during his class for this week to fully understand the topic. No need to re-read.

Anyway, watched Step Up 3 (without 3D, thankyou) with LiuKun, Sharron, Deborah and Kelly today! :D The dances were wayyyy beyond awesome but the script sucked big time. All the emotional scenes were carried out with poor acting and at such a slow pace that ruined the movie a little for me. But THE DANCE SCENES - OMG. So many genres within one movie! The body-popping by the lead actor was amazing, like the dislocating of his neck and shoulder and whatnot. And I don't know all the technical terms for the various dance styles but there were so many displayed it was a feast for the eyes. The co-lead actor with long hair did an awesome job in the opening dance sequence and an even better job during the second round, with all the water. :D His long hair certainly played a part. Hahaha. Oh and his sweet dance routine with his girlfriend along the street was so cute! Taken in one take, as observed by Kelly and I and seriously so cute. The girl can dance too. We kept laughing at how they were so condescending towards Asians because the asians portrayed either have poor attitude, are gamblers, have a speech problem or cannot stop sticking their tongue out. It was BADDDD. D: But ohwell, I guess we have a slight prejudice against ourselves in the first place, so we can't exactly blame those from Hollywood. So conclusion: Watch Step Up 3 for the fantastic dance routines, and ignore the rest. :D

Studying in SMU allows me to try the good food in the Bugis, City Hall and Dhoby Ghaut area! So I shall share my findings. :D

I've had lunch at Aston's, Swensons, Koufu and Kopitiam. Well the first two are actually worth it if you have the time to walk back to The Cahay or PS because they aren't over ten bucks, and the food and ambience is good! :D
Aston's is, as usual, affordable and the food is good for the price paid. I had Roast Chicken with two sides (potato salad and garden veg) and it was filling and satisfying. :D No drinks though, so I went to Starbucks after that to chill and use laptop and erhem, study.
Swensons has a one-for-one lunch deal so that makes everything worth it! The food is not bad, as usual, just that the waiting time can make everything so much worse. We had to wait quite long for a table. After we sat down, took orders, iced water did not come. The food came one after the other with a significant time difference (and I don't eat before everyone's food is served) and still they didn't serve water even. All the food finally came and when it came for time to ask for the bill, they took eons as well. In the end, we just walked over to the counter to settle the bill. Well I guess they're busy, but they should be prompt in clearing tables, in my opinion, so that the queue outside the restaurant can be shortened as soon a possible, no?
Koufu is small and crowded so head over to Kopitiam instead when you can. (: Food is not bad and with the Kopitiam card, everything's slightly cheaper. More seats also so more comfort. Well food is average but I heard the chicken rice is good.

For dinner, the spread is better! :D
Ate some beef noodles (forgot the shop name) at this place in between Bras Basah and the National Library. It was rather delicious and the shop interior was quite nice too. :D The lady whom we asked to take photo for us was very friendly and kept saying the background was nice. Hahaha. It's five bucks for a big bowl of noodles so that's very worth it as well.
For dessert, we headed to Tom's Palette for some ice-cream! Their Chocolate flavour is mmm! Very rich taste. The cheesecake one was good too. Well my two favourite flavours actually. I also tried the horlicks (I think ICC's one is better).
Then we didn't wanna go back to Ice Cold to drink so we went to Toast Box at Bugis instead! Omg their peanut butter toast is seriously win. It literally melts inside your mouth and the fragrance is overwhelming. :D Love it.
So yeah went to three food stops with my SMUX group alone! :D We have an amazing time together each time. I think it might be because Linton is such a SNAG, or maybe because Ana makes the funniest comments and tells the funniest stories. I don't know, but I really enjoy their company. :D

I also ate at Shokudo, Bugis on Friday and their Rosti is good! :D No need to pay an extra three bucks for their curry cause, because the plain rosti with sour cream is enough. And the tako yaki was not bad too. Dessert-wise, skip the red bean cheesecake. The red bean was an overkill and I could taste no cheese at all. Next time, just try the NY cheesecake or something. If they do have it, that is.
Btw we wanted to go to Republic of Steak or Nando's but both had a insufferable long queue so, being famished students who've been using our brains all day, we decided queuing was not for us. Hahaha. Laziness results in lacklustre food. Ohwell. /:

Okay I'm going to watch Lie To Me again. Heehee. I'm at Season 2 Episode 15. Catching up! :D I think Tim Roth is so badass and that kinda draws me in. Shit I'm weird.
Think I'm gonna watch Inception with my mum again tomorrow! HAHAHA. She has a free ticket, so why not? xD I kinda wanna watch Heartbreaker though. YunJing, if you're reading this, wanna watch together? :D

2010-08-18T18:48:00.002+08:00

HELLO.

I am sitting beside Gretchen now, waiting for my Sports Camp group! She's showing me how emo she was back then by looking at her blog archives. TSKKKKKK. And she's saying YunJing should invite her to read her blog! (HINTHINT)

School today was good and bad.

Biz Law was completely scary. I DONT LIKE CLASS PART. Everyone's so hiong and asks questions like there isn't a next lesson. Wth.

TWC was very slack though. I like. We listened to old music. Hahaha prof was saying sth about us wanting to be born in the 60s. I think I'm one of them. :D

i don't like school because it makes me feel as if there's nothing to look forward to in life anymore. like seriously, WHERE'S THE FUN! and yu sin thinks i'm being too emo so i shall stop.

SCHOOL SUCKSSSSSS. I feel stupid all over again. And I'm actually quite tired of making new friends. Hahahaha omg sounds so loner. D: But I did make new friends yesterday dureing AW and we're gonna be lunch buddies for every week. Quite cool.

OKAY BYEBYE.

You fell in love with a broken heart

2010-08-11T23:49:00.003+08:00

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS.

This movie has got to be the most exciting one coming out this year. After this, The Hangover will be history! Well, I might even have forgotten about Inception. Hahahaha. Omg watch the trailer too please.

I wish I was special

2010-08-08T04:28:00.004+08:00

I've just finished watching Okuribito (English title: Departures) and I don't know what to say.

My eyes are puffy and my nose is blocked like nobody's business. Thanks to YunJing I decided to finally watch this film after it's been in my hard drive for a long long time. And I must say it's two hours and ten minutes of my life very well-spent. Not only is the music brilliant (and I say that in every sense of the word), the cast is amazing and more importantly the screenplay and direction is indescribably beautiful. I cried like mad from the scene where he encoffined the lady from the bath shop onwards, only stopping during some parts. And the ending was so good too. Saying it was 'good' is a total understatement. The only other movie that's made me rethink my life so much is A Single Man (which you should know by now, is like my movie of 2009) so that alone says a lot. Point is, everybody should go and watch Departures. In fact, we all need to watch it multiple times at different stages of our lives 'cause I'm sure it will mean something different each time we see it. It's somewhat like A Little Prince.

On a sidenote, I think I like depressing movies in general. A Single Man, Departures all deal with the same theme: Death. These movies touch my heart the most, and it doesn't help that the direction for movies of such a theme are usually very elegant and beautiful. Nobody likes Death in it's ugly form, we only love it when it appears not to be an end but another beginning.

Even for music, I like depressing ones. Out of my Favourites playlist, I think about eighty per cent of the songs deal with loss, sorrow, inadequacy etc. Listen to Creep by Radiohead and you will know what I mean.

Anyway, back to reality. Sometimes I think I'm easily affected by movies that my life gets taken over by them, even if it's for a brief period. Like, when I close my eyes I think of various parts of the movies and start imagining what it would be like if any of the events happened to me. Well, that, of course, is only for good movies. I think Departures will be on my mind for a good few days.

Okay. The end. Movie is brilliant - period.

Went for Short+Sweet tonight with YunJing and it was really a wonderful way to spend a Saturday evening! :D Basically ten short plays, each lasting ten minutes, were delivered to us. These ten plays are the finalists of the competition which had hundreds of entries. The most mind-blowing part was that every part, from the directors, cast, stage crew and so on, were auditioned! It means that total strangers who were all talented in their own respective fields came together to produce a stage play from a script they've never really seen before. Sounds cool right? It is. The result was a brilliant buffet (hahaha) of short plays that felt more like a ten-course meal to me, the viewer. :D

Now that's money well-spent, though I think I really need to save from now on.

I've been recording my expenses for the month of August (should've adopted this habit from eons ago) and things aren't looking very good. I'm obviously overspending now that I'm not having any income! Plus, instead of choosing to work tomorrow, I've decided to go shopping with HuiYi instead. NOT A GOOD IDEA. But, the thought that I would shop less once school starts validates my choice so I shall just accept that instead of feeling bad. Mwahahaha.

I realised that I didn't really blog about Night Festival so here goes.

The highlights of the night were definitely the World's Slowest Billboard, Drag Queen show and Paraboles 2.0 (a mass display that words cannot describe). Pictures will do the talking.

So this is the world's slowest SMS billboard. Basically, people text in their messages and these people will put it on this giant billboard, of which each letter is as tall as a human. (You can see two people standing beside the word 'FOUND'. Yup it's pretty cool, though we couldn't stand the fact that we didn't know when our message would be displayed. I actually asked the girl when it would and she gave this long crappy talk about how 'Uncertainty' is also one of the messages they're trying to bring across. -.-

Next up was Abusement Park. It was only for Adults and featured some pretty disturbing stuff. One of the scariest parts was the music, which is eerie circus stuff so that scared me a bit. Other than that, visually it was also very disturbing. As you can see, a girl is chopping a doll and ripping her insides out with a knife in the picture above. There were also parts of a baby doll floating about in the fountain, people having their heads chopped off, chaining and other sorts of physical punishment methods and tools. Hahaha we didn't really know what to do in there 'cause it kinda creeped us out so we left after a while.

Then we went for a 1960s exhibition! :D It was pretty cool looking at all the oldschool, vintage stuff. This record collection shown in the above picture impressed me particularly. I saw a vinyl CD with the words 'Parlophone' on it. That's the same label as Coldplay's so it's pretty cool knowing it has been in existence since rather long ago. Restaurant menus were also very elegant and the porcelain stuff they used were simply lovely. We also saw old newspapers on display (not original copies though) and they had Cathay cinema ads (so oldschool seriously) and more alarmingly, cigarettes ads. That was a time when cigarettes were advertised instead of being portrayed as the cause of all cancers to do with the lungs, mouth and whatnot.

Then we decided to queue for the Drag Queen show called Diva Siva and it was well-worth the half-hour queue! We had seats in the middle, nearer to the front and man they put on a thoroughly entertaining show full of dance, song and energy. It was also lovely to see how they embrace the fact that they're man and woman at the same time, and how they feed on the crowd's energy to put on an even better show. The photo shows us with one of the four Drag Queens and I think she's the cutest 'cause she blows imaginary kisses to the crowd randomly and frequently! They all wore really high platform heels so they look extremely ginormous beside us. Easily the highlight of the night yet!

But then, we decided to go for Paraboles 2.0! It was uhhhh-mazing and words cannot describe it's awesomeness. Giant circular screens that looked like signal-receivers had images projected onto them, while a conductor was controlling the music and a dancer accompanies it. I don't know how to describe it but visually it was so stunning that at the end of it, it left almost everyone speechless. Haha Gretchen mentioned something about it making her question her existence. I'm not sure I fully feel the same way, but it sure did shake me up a little. Huda thought it was a damn good piece of art (an understatement interpreted from what she expressed). Overall I think it was an awesome end to an awesome night!

Random group pictures next.

And to round it off:

Goodnight!
(Even though it's almost six am. I'm glad my eyes no longer feel puffy though. And oh, the newspaper guy came by half an hour ago. The last time I heard him throw the newspaper through my gates was the A Level period. Wow. It's truly been a night of many thoughts.)

You light the sky up above me

2010-08-07T01:40:00.004+08:00

Alrightey I decided to blog about random stuff and just abandon the task of talking about all the camps I've been to. It's like how I posted about Mika's concert much later. HAHAHA. I guess I'll be talking a lot about my fandoms so don't mind me. xD

Been listening to nothing but Take That for the past few days and it feels awesome! :D Hahaha. The Abbey Road Studio Sessions are seriously amazing. I'm ashamed to say that yesterday was just my second time listening to it fully without skipping any track. I wanted to post some of the more awesome ones on Tumblr (because the acoustic versions really gave me goosebumps of some sort) but I couldn't choose so I gave up. Everyone should buy, or at least download this album. Or just ask them from me. HAHA. :D

I shall embed this just because it's bloody brilliant. :D

Anyway, today I froze at Lookout from 1730 till closing. That's a duration longer than the whole of Take That's The Circus Live. D: I cannot believe I didn't fall asleep. Moreover it was without the aid of my Lakerols so that's an achievement enough. I don't understand how Gretchen survives without sweets. Haha.

I just watched Stigmata (on my computer). It's a film from 1999 and the story's quite questionable but I watched it for Gabriel Bryne and he is seriously so charming in the movie! Omg. His hair, face, expression, clothing etc. It's all so gorgeous. I fell in love with him in In Treatment, in which he was BRILLIANT. Ah I need to rewatch In Treatement, especially the episodes with Laura.

Oh and I watched Salt on opening day and to my dismay the movie is so overhyped and totally didn't live up to expectations. Sigh. I guess after Inception, almost every movie will be considered lackluctre, but Salt really didn't even meet the minimum benchmark. The story was disconnected and there were so many unnecessary scenes that could've been cut away. Hahaha Angelina Jolie's gorgeous hair probably made up for some of the shortcomings, but seriously, there were too many. So no, don't watch Salt. Instead, go watch Inception again. :D

Singfest was awesome! :D Well I guess all the local reviews were all accurate about how most of the acts were disappointing except for Tokio Hotel and Katy Perry! But then again, most of us turned up on Day 1 for the both of them so I guess there's nothing really wrong! The other acts got to gain 'cause Singfest gave them exposure. Now I've actually listened to The Like and Orianthi. AND I've downloaded Inch Chua's CD from her website (for free! and fully legit.) and am starting to appreciate local artistes. Not bad for a day's work!

By the way I'm still looking for Max Shanti's album so if anyone knows where to get it, let me know!

Back to Singfest, Katy Perry was a worthy headliner 'cause her stage was so cute with coconut trees and beach balls and all sorts. :D Plus she wore a bikini throughout her set adjkldjslkdjS like how many artistes can pull that off! After the concert, I'm even more against her being with Russell Brand. Like seriously he doesn't deserve her. She is vivacious, hot (and yet cute at the same time omg), talented, daring, outgoing and all things good. Hahaha. This lucky girl (who was smart enough to wear a blue wig at a KP concert) went up on stage to dance and kissed KP on the lips for Hot N Cold! Like wtf! SOOO LUCKY. Okay but not like I would've had the guts to do it if it were me. But still! I can't wait for Katy's new album!

Oh and on Wednesday I actually went down to Bugis for Tokio Hotel's autograph session! Maybe it's 'cause I've never been to any autograph sessions, but I really feel like it was literally a few brief seconds (and that's me being very generous) of interaction! Well there almost wasn't any 'cause the music was so damn loud. I shouted 'You were great last night!' to Bill but I think he didn't hear 'cause he merely glanced at me and said 'Thanks for coming' or something like that. I don't even care 'cause prolly he said the same thing to everyone. And I couldn't sign anything besides the CD sleeve so that sucked as well, 'cause I wanted him to sign on my Singfest ticket at least. Imagine some crazy groupie who made presents for them and were unable to pass it to them! D: That must suck. On a sidenote, Tom is really cute with his cornrolls and stuff (though I think cornrolls and studs are a major clash) and Bill is REALLY FREAKING SKINNY. I still like him with the long hair during Monsoon times. Aww. He was wearing a red plaid shirt on Wednesday, which made me kinda sad 'cause I wanted to wear that but wore something else instead. Imagine how cool it would be if we wore the same top! :D HAAHAHA.

Okay fangirling over. No pictures 'cause my camera sucks and I don't think I should post pictures I found online which others took. See, no plagarism. :D

It's like three am now and I'm rock climbing in about eight hours. I should sleep 'cause I'm now damn noobshit at climbing. Going without energy would be suicide. Plus F.A.T won't be around so I'll prolly leave after climbing a while. ): Just glad that we're meeting this Thursday! Cannot wait! I still remember how simply being with F.A.T and drinking Chamomile tea at Starbucks Marina Square cured me of fever/cough/flu. (: It warms my heart just to say that.

Oh and on Wednesday, after the Tokio Hotel meet (but no greet), PinnXian and I went to chill at Starbucks. And out of the blue, this african-american guy came to talk to us! His name is John (if my memory serves me correct) and he started chatting with us and sharing his experiences! Like how he's currently writing a paper for some University (either that or UN thingy) but he has to do it handwritten 'cause during the 'learning computer' era, his assistants would type for him. One of his assistants was from Wharton (like omg seriously) and the other one was a brilliant Asian. John (hahaha call by first-name alr) was from Cambridge and used to do pro bono lecturing at Yale. I was seriously impressed. And he asked us questions about education in Singapore, which Uni we were from, and starting sharing about how he just visited the region to promote some programme. The vice-president of JP Morgan had just treated him to lunch the previous day and he was in Singapore en route back to New York. Like wow really. He was staying at a suite at the Intercontinental Hotel, wanted some coffee, and ended up at Bugis Starbucks. Haha according to him, Starbucks is almost the same in every country he goes to. (That's cool 'cause I'm pretty sure that's not the case for McDonalds.) Okay anyway my point is that he is rather awesome and somehow we got to speak with him. That must be fate and I don't know what it means but I kinda wanna lead his kinda life now. Haha.

Alright I haven't mentioned SMU at all yet 'cause I wanna blog about camps in another post and so far most of what I've experienced in SMU are the camps. But I just wanna say, I AM SO GLAD MY BOSS BIDS ALL WON! :D All bidded mods are not loner-ish and I hope I won't be a loner in pre-assigned mods too. School is reopening and that partly scares but mostly annoys me. Because I love the life I lead now, just that I know it isn't a long-term result that I would want. Ohwell.

Popped by PX's Kent Ridge Hall yesterday to take a look! Haha her room is so orange/yellow and sunny! I like. Plus the study table is huge and shelves abumdant. I kinda want a room like that since I've been sharing rooms since the day I was born. But then again, I think it would be weird sleeping in a room alone. I dunno, but I kinda felt isolated when I slept in MaoJia's room in TaiWan and it was not a comfortable feeling. /: So anyway, didn't get to talk much to HuiYi or go to her room at all 'cause she had RAG, Sigh. She's soooo busy with RAG. ): I wanna date you Png Hui Yi.

Oh and for the first time in three weeks, I returned to work today! Well I would say it didn't take me long to learn any new procedures, but I guess if an 11-1 really happens, I prolly won't be able to remember all the new protocol at RCS. What I liked a lot was the break room banter. We'll just talk about guests and issues and simply life's complaints and re-enactments and it soon evolves into lots of laughter. I like. :D And there were two new full-timers so I guess the situation is improving? I say that though I'd been freezing since lunch time by the time I knocked off. D:

Okay watching good stuff with YunJing tomorrow! (:
Finally, I'm going to turn in.

I don't tell anybody about the things that we have planned

2010-07-22T01:11:00.002+08:00

We sang (and Kenneth danced) to Parachutes during Smoove. Hahaha and the song is kinda stuck in my head again. xD

SMOOVE turned out to be more tiring than I thought. I blame the booze on Day 2. And also the lack of a sleeping bag, that caused me to have a fever on Day 3. Thankfully Day 3 was damn chillax for my group so I actually managed to have a HOT vanilla latte plus a scone! Oh, how it saved my life. Anyway, tried a lot of sports but not as many as previous years I think? Plus I didn't get to try sailing and water polo 'cause I can't swim. Thank God I did dragon-boating, not 'cause I haven't done it before, but 'cause I would have had to wait alone at the shore while EVERYONE was rowing away.

MANY THANKS AND MUCH LOVE GOING OUT TO ALVIN AND LYDIA, MY FACIS! :D
(Hahaha doubt they'll see this but heck.)

Pictures are with me actually but I'll upload them again another time. My sister took my camera cable. -.-

I'm blogging 'cause I can't get to sleep. I slept too much last night and now my body doesn't want to fall back into slumber. If I sleep now, I'll have to wake up in less thank five hours for SMUX. Wow. I hope my body can take it then.

Shall blog about Night Festival the next time, too.

Oh I love the ASC as well! :D :D :D

I just want you back for good

2010-07-17T15:26:00.004+08:00

Did I mention that Take That is returning with Robbie Williams? :D
Not that I'm extremely excited by the fact of Robbie rejoining. The announcement of a new album is enough to make me very high. Hahahaha. November 2010, COME NAOOOOO. Plus they're definitely touring next year so I'll need to save up for that. One hundred a month. I CAN DO IT.

Anyhow, I watched Inception yesterday! :D AND IT WAS BRILLIANT.

The story is superb. I wonder how Christopher Nolan even came up with the idea (pun intended, for those who've watched it xD) of this film. And I bet nobody could direct it except him since nobody would prolly put across what he wanted to. So, well-worthy of five stars and EVERYONE should catch it. This far surpasses The Dark Knight please. And the cast is rather good too. But it's the screenplay that truly blows your mind away. Awesome.

So my 'last day' of work was on Wednesday. Bt not exactly my last 'cause I'll be working on 15th Aug onwards and remain on as a Sunday Casual. From a Full-time Casual, I'm now converting to a Sunday Casual. Butbutbut we are all still awesome Casuals! :D Hahaha. Gonna miss the people and I bet I'll feel damn left out when I log into Facebook or go back to work only once a week. But so far YunJing seems to be coping quite well so I guess it should be okay? I hope we have frequent meet-ups! :D We like to go for artsy stuff together so that's sweet. :D Like tonight, we're going for Night Festival 2010! :D Gonna be awesome.

I think I'll need to expand my reading drastically if I wanna survive Academic writing in SMU. D:

Sports Camp starts tomorrow, then SMUX Camp starts on Thursday! I hope I have enough clothes and that they'll wash and dry magically on Wednesday. Hahaha.

By the way I am very pissed about the Water Proficiency Test (WPT) because without passing it, I CANNOT TAKE PART IN WATER ACTIVITIES. Not being able to go swimming or diving is fine by me, but I wanna kayak! And wth I have a bloody one-star cert for kayaking okay! But no, by SMU regulation I must pass the WPT before I can go for kayaking. Srsly wth. What are life-jackets for then?! Plus I don't have goggles nor swimming caps so I'm so gonna fail the WPT. YAY. Andandand it's on the 20th, which is the last day of Sports Camp I don't even know if I can make it for the 1030 time slot. Omg kill me.

Before Uni starts on 16th Aug, I NEEEEED to meet up separately with FAT, HuiYi, Sher and EXCO. Sigh whyyyy does time flyyyy so fast.

I will hold and believe that this love leads to more

2010-07-16T02:44:00.004+08:00

OMGOMGOMG.

Take That is back! :D Like finally!
NEW ALBUM WITH ROBBIE WILLIAMS. -HYPERVENTILATES.

Click on the picture pretty please! OMG I cannot wait for this to come!

My inner fangirl is creeping out again! And I'm lovin' it! Hahahaha.

You've got to know when the highest are high

2010-07-09T01:10:00.003+08:00

I'm working at 0815 tomorrow but I think I should be able to wake up. (:

I'm feeling better now, to all concerned. I've learnt to move on. Life is all about moving on, right? (:

Spent a wonderful off day today! :D First I met PinnXian at Orchard to watch Despicable Me. Not the best choice of a movie but I don't know why I was so excited by it. During the movie, I actually thought of A Single Man, but that's prolly 'cause I'm madly in love with the movie. Anyway, coming out two weeks after Toy Story was not a good move for Universal 'cause the storyline for Despicable Me was sooooo predictable. And I don't know why I chose to watch it in 3D, which wasn't very apparent till the credits. Ohwell. I should never spend money on 3D movies again until they make a new major breakthrough.

Then HuiYi joined us at Ion! :D Been so long since I saw her! :D So we walked around and kinda shop-shopped. Hahaha it was kinda funny 'cause HuiYi steps into shops and slowly browses while PinnXian wanders off and out of the shops in search of what interests her. xD I just uh, made sure we were all still in sight. Hahahaha. I want to buy new shoes! Vans, yes/no? And I'm looking for affordably-priced shorts which have good cutting and are comfy. If anyone has any recommendations, do share! :D

Then I walked to Mandarin Gallery 'cause the restaurant Kelly chose was there. It's so atas the whole place! I wanted to step into the shops but I felt like the salesgirls would stare me down with the you-can't-afford-it face so I didn't. D:

So anyway I found out Ippudo was at the fourth storey so I ventured there with a Breadtalk cake. The Japanese Manager was very cute la! xD He was like trying to communicate with me, telling me no reservations are allowed and we can't consume the cake in their restaurant. But I kinda took the latter as 'no lighting of candles in here' so there was a bit of communication breakdown. Hahaha.
Kelly's handphone is freaking screwed so the whole while I was sending her text messages and calling her, whichever could reach her with/without LiuKun realizing. But turns out LiuKun already knows so we should've just spared all the trouble. -.-
Sharron came then we tried to light up the candle! xD We were deciding between one or nineteen candles. Hahaha and we chose to put one only 'cause we realised we have difficulties with lighters! xD HAHAHA. In the end, even with the pretty and just-press lighter the restaurant staff lent us, we took very long to light the candle. So long until Kelly and LiuKun saw us and walked towards us, stood there chanting 'DAMN FAIL DAMN FAIL DAMN FAIL' and laughing before we finally lit it up. AND we all didn't bring cameras except LiuKun so we had to ask HER for camera to take shots of her with her cake and us. HAHAHHAHAH MAJOR PHAIL. D:
Dinner was delicous! And not very ex also so I think I will prolly go back. :D The queue was bloody long when we left at like close to eight though, so lesson learnt: Must go early, like today. :D Hahaha.

We decided to give the free Swensons ice-cream a miss and proceed to Orchard Central to eat our cake. But turned out Heaven's Loft imposes a charge of $25 if we wish to consume cakes not served by them! WTH SRSLY. So even if don't touch their food, we have to pay $25!! No way man. Hahahaha being typical teens we went to Burger Kind, ordered a drink and ate our cake there. Very ZDS but total pleasure. Hahaha. Talking with these people is just damn enjoyable. :D
And we visited Deborah twice at Urban Write! Hahaha her uniform is so cute. And I arranged the markers in a rainbow so that she can arrange them back; give her something to do. xD

Went back to Somerset 313 Taxi stand and all three of us waited for LiuKun to get on her cab. The line was so short but there were no cabs in sight! Annoying to the max. But meanwhile we chatted quite a lot so it was lovely, hahaha.

P.S.: There is Jones The Grocer in Mandarin Gallery too! :D OMG I should go there and try out the other restaurants inside some day. ;D

I wanna watch Chloe! Anybody wanna join me? :D

Oh it's been long since I've had a narrative post. Haha. Tired.

It's just that I've been bleeding lately, internally.

2010-07-06T00:12:00.002+08:00

Cellphane around my mouth
Stops the anger seeping out

Lyrics in this song very aptly describe my feelings now.

Rewatching A Single Man didn't exactly help to calm me down but I guess it did achieve my aim of isolating myself from people. I am now anti-social. YAY. I can rewatch A Single Man so many times without pausing or skipping parts to the extent that I think I am chronically depressed. I just put on a front every day.

Well no, maybe not. I don't know. The thought of that is just too sad.

Sometimes I think I live in a world where I think self-denial can carry me through. Not talking about it sort of makes the issue non-existent and hence I escape it. I'd rather ignore it if I can't find a direct solution. So yes, finding a solution to solve the problem is my first and foremost strategy. But if that fails, I'll just proceed to attempt to forget the problem until it isn't even a problem any more. I let it pass. It becomes part of my life such that it isn't problematic. I simply live with it.

But, is there any wrong with that? Isn't that what people mean when they ssy 'Time heals all wounds'? I mean, that's what time is for right? To make whatever hurt one is feeling to gradually numb and stay under the covers. The hurt does not go away, it simply subsides. And sometimes, I think that is quite enough. Absolution is not always possible and definitely not always for the best.

I am going to squeeze back into my shell and watch Lie To Me.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

2010-07-05T19:41:00.004+08:00

Shit. I wanna cry now. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED.

I don't care who will be reading this, but, SERENE CANNOT LEAVE JPR. I am seriously going to cry my guts out this Sunday. I am overwhelmed with sadness now I don't know what to say. Fuck. What the hell happened. Why are the arrangements so fucked up? I really see no point in staying now. Seriously. And I can't believe Jessy can let her go and I cannot believe even more that Serene would agree. Like seriously wtf.

JPR will officially be dead once Serene leaves. I don't even feel like staying on.
Fuck this. I am seriously so upset right now.

Is it worth the aggravation to find a job when there's nothing worth working for?

2010-07-04T20:02:00.004+08:00

I wanna watch Charlie St. Cloud! Watch the trailer if you haven't! And don't judge! 'Cause I think it's not just another teen flick. Hahaha.

And I can't wait for Inception and Cemetary Junction to reach Singapore. :D

Working morning shift today made me very free and I surfed around ONTD after a really long while. Hahaha. All the celebrity gossip and stuff. And Tumblr too. xD Reminds me of a post I read today discussing Lady Gaga vs Madonna. It was mentioned how the two of them are just two separate individuals and should not be compared because the way music is sold and consumed is totally different considering their eras. Let them be who they are. I CANNOT AGREE MORE.

Okay enough of celebrity talk. Oh though I would like to mention that I cannot wait for DUE DATE and Water For Elephants to finish production and come out too. Hahaha I salute you if you know what movies I'm talking about. xD

Off days are love. I'll be off for the next four days! I'll be spending money and loads of time playing! HAHAHAHA. Finally a long break. And hopefully I'll be watching a few movies! xD

I shall go and eat chocolate now.

Oh and thank you to Serene, Celine, Michelle, ShuXuan, Huda, YenTing on Friday. You know what I'm talking about and you know I love you. (:

There's something about you that's like the sun: You warm up my heart.

2010-06-30T01:37:00.002+08:00

I just found out that Ben Stiller is a left hander! And that shouldn't excite me 'cause I'm not a fan of him, except, HE WAS IN TROPIC THUNDER WITH RDJ. Hahahahaha. Okay I'm going crazy. Again.

I just discovered this new tumblr which posts awesome pictures of RDJ. Oh to live in such bliss. Hahaha.

Work today (Tues) was great. I really love morning shifts that end at 1415 because I get to have a life after that. Besides, mornings pass really fast because after the opening checks are done, and the breakers come in at eleven, it's just about two more rotations before I get to go home. Plus there isn't much crowd early in the morning so I get to slack just a little. Hahaha. I feel sad when I think about how the full-timers have NEVER felt the shiokness of ending work at 1415 or 1430. Their earliest days end at 1745. And that is, sad. D:

Went to play the park today with Sume! :D Really thankful that she came all the way from home. I'll never visit the park with colleagues if I'm off. I'm too lazy to travel all the way back to somewhere familiar. Anyhow, we couldn't think of places to go. Ate Goldilocks again and it was so-so only. I can't wait to go to Louis's on Thursday! :D There's is where you find the best food in USS in my opinion. Then we took The Mummy, which is always an awesome ride even though we've taken it so many times, with lights on or off. I don't get how people can prefer JPR over Revenge. Took Enchanted too and it was also awesome since I haven't taken it in a long time. Canopy was kinda great too. Hahaha and we made the worst mistake by going for Pantages AGAIN, as if we didn't learn our lesson the previous time. It gets almost the same rating as Donkey Live in my opinion so I think I'll prolly not go there again. Okay maybe I will, when LiuKun and Kelly go. But, urgh.

Received the schedule for the next two weeks and I'm only working four days in total. I guess I should be sad 'cause there will be less money to be earned. But I'm sad also 'caue I'll stop working soon. I know it's coming and I also know I'm not exacty quitting, but I definitely won't be seeing my awesome bunch of colleagues in a long while. SMU Camps will take up all my energy and make me tired to even work on non-camp days. And I won't have time once school starts I think. Depressing depressing. I will miss everyone.
Looking at photos of Jasmine leaving doesn't exacty help either.
Andandand I feel bad whenever Serene asks me to work more. Best part is the reason for next week's manpower shortage on Wednesday opening is due to MWP so I feel even worse. Damn.

I think this is one of the rare times I'm full-blogging about work so bear with me. Hahahaha.

I've downloaded the soundtrack of The Full Monty and it's so good. Big Ass Rock has the funniest and more saddistic lyrics! xD And You Rule My World (not to be confused with Take That's Rule The World) is just so awwww. I wanna watch Full Monty again. But it's so ex. And sold out. /:

That reminds me, Sume and I got tickets for Boeing Boeing today! :D Something'd better not crop up on 10th August. Boeing Boeing > Anything else.

Picture of the day! :D

'Cause all of the stars are fading away, just try not to worry - you'll see them someday

2010-06-29T01:42:00.002+08:00

Hahahaha mini mass-convoing with JPR people are hilarious. We laugh a lot and I swear I've LOL-ed a few times. So YunJing, Sumedhaa and Huda: YOU GUYS MAKE MY NIGHT VERY ENJOYABLE. Hahahaha. We need to meet up in real life and visit those fancy cafes and eat good food. :D I'm so looking forward to Milky Way!

I've just downloaded Oasis's hit singles album thingy and I think it's gonna be on replay for the next few days. AGAIN. Everytime I hear one Oasis song, I'll end up listening to more of their songs and on replay.
But ohwell, better than the new songs that radios play nowadays. It's all shit.

I should be sleeping but I'm not and YunJing keeps asking me to do so by instruction. Hahaha and she spells mother as Mutha so that's damn funny. Prolly 'cause I'm now slightly racist though I still don't think I'm racist compared to most Singaporeans.

Okay it's 0151 now and THEY ALL SUDDENLY left the conversation. Thanks ah. Now I will peacefully blog.

I cleaned my room today! :D That's breaking news because I haven't done so in more than a year. I don't clean my room every month. And I certainly did not do so after As. So today, while I was literally dumping my Chemistry notes into the recycling bag, IT FELT SOOOOO GOOD. Now I understand what Adlin meant when she threw away or burnt her notes. Like omg, it's really cathartic somehow. Like some kind of farewell, and at the same time I'm thinking "To hell with you, crap!" And it also marks how I survived A Levels and managed to get into Uni. All these thoughts while clearing notes made me have the I've-come-a-long-way feeling. Hahaha. I kept Econs and Math notes, hope they'll help me a little in Uni.

Speaking of which, I'm not going to take the Stats exemption test 'cause I might be taking Quantitative Studies. Which is so math-y and geeky, but, I know I'm good at it. But I'm also afraid that I would hate my job in the future. I was something fun and artsy (well, I love to watch and appreciate but I don't think I can participate though /:) and also earns me a lot of money! I'm so money-minded I can't stand it. But, pay DOES matter right? I just don't wanna be one of those who drag my feet to work every morning and dreading work. Maybe if my colleagues are like those from JPR, I wouldn't mind.

But, I think I'll never find colleagues like them. Everyone says so anyway.

So anyhow, my room floor is now walkable! :D :D :D You can see the white marble and there're no strands of hair lying around (HAHAHAHHA GROSS RIGHT, I KNOW. xD). All my souvenirs from Primary School and Secondary School and JC are neatly packed inside my drawers. All the bags are either inside the bag box or sent for washing. Books are neatly inside a huge orange box which also accomodates my stack of notes from JC. Oh and my Take That collection is inside a drawer, books and CDs stacked carefully and separately from each other. :D Clothes will have to wait a while 'cause I'll need to clear more old clothes before I fit the new ones in, but yes, they will be packed by the time school starts. I need to start off well. (:

Alright this is a wordy post. And I must say typing with the laptop is way more enjoyable than doing so with the keyboard. I don't know why. xD

Okay give you a picture! xD

Hahahaha RDJ is CONSTANTLY staring at me as I type! xD How awesome is that!

New things, new dreams, new faces.

2010-06-27T16:37:00.003+08:00

I haven't been posting 'cause every time I log into Blogger, I start typing stuff into the Mika entry. But I'm giving up on it now, and blogging on other stuff. Like finally.

I just busted a lot of money signing up for SMU camps! And that's not inclusive of the two hundred matriculation fee. D: I foresee spending a lot of money in the next four years, but who am I to complain? Thankfully the mom is understanding and is paying for most of the academic stuff. :D Speaking of which, I'm only paying for half my new laptop so that's awesome as well! :D I LOVE MY NEW LAPTOP.

HAS EVERYBODY WATCHED TOY STORY? :D :D :D
It's the best movie I've watched this year. (Not including my on-the-com viewings of old classics.) I actually cried like twice, but I'm not ashamed to admit it. I mean, it's so so good. The writers, John Lasseter and all at Pixar are just so damn good. And Woody is so pretty! Hahaha. Please, if you haven't watched it, GO.

Went for MegaFlea yesterday at Old School with LiXuan and Sherlyn! It was awesomeeeee. I spent like a lot of money, but for the amount of stuff I got, it's well worth it. I'm like so happy. Hahaha. Hopefully with these new stuff, I won't spend that much on other stuff at retail price. Not even the GSS is gonna make me spend! xD Anyway, I bought like three tops, two bottoms, two sets of bangles and other random stuff. Ohman soooo much. :D Going to flea is always fantastic 'cause I'll feel like I've spent little on a lot. xD Next month again! :D

Need to meet up with F.A.T. Badly. I've not seen us for very long! ):

Oh went to Jones The Grocer at Dempsey on Friday with PinnXian after watching Toy Story! It was so homey and lovely. If I had money I would definitely shop there. xD We need to go back for brunch or something 'cause I think it would be better than dinner. Drive me there the next time! xD

Sadly, I'm not very into World Cup this year. I wish I was. But when I don't subscribe to the channels and am too lazy to watch it outside the comfort of my home, I'm not just into it. Ohwell.

This is not surprising, but I'm really afraid of Uni starting actually. New rules, new people. And I'll have to make decisions and deal with bigger consequences. I think this will be the four years in my life when I'll mature the most. I'll change, hopefullly for the better.

Gonna watch The Full Monty later with Gretchen! :D YAY that will make this weekend reeaaaaaally awesome. :D

Everybody's gonna love today, love today, LOVE TODAY!

2010-06-15T22:54:00.011+08:00

MIKA WAS BRILLIANT!

Seriously the most colourful concert I've ever been to! I think the only artist who can beat him in that aspect is Take That! (And trust me, that comment is NOT biased 'cause TT's Live shows are really awesome x 10000!) xD All hail amazing British artists! Hahahaha.

So I'm going to recount the most amazing Monday of my life. Bear with me and my sometimes-unimportant personal thoughts and irrelevant comments. xD I'll try to add in pictures along the way. (:

I was supposed to meet the other MFCers at the Singapore Expo at twelve noon on 14th June 2010 but as usual, I woke up late. D: So, thinking that I'm late anyway, I decided to drop by Tampines to buy some materials for making Mika a large banner and also some food. Then at Popular, guess what I found! THE MIKA ASIAN TOUR CD WITH THE TOFU DOLL! Omg -hyperventilates. And like any other fan, I couldn't resist it so I bought it, also hoping that I could get it autographed before/after the concert later on.

When I arrived there, there were about twenty-odd people standing or sitting around. I met Sherilyn, who has been very helpful and welcoming to my joining of the Mika fandom. xD I wrote 25 on my fist for the purpose of orderly queueing and sat down to begin making my banner. Beside me was Fifi and two girls making a Mika doll. LIKE OMG A MIKA DOLL. They were sewing away and it was amazinggggg. Mika fans are such creative people I tell you. A banner is the least-creative thing anyone could make for him alr. D:

Letitia and JiaLing making the doll. Ignore me making the lousy banner in the background. /: (Picture taken by Iona)

And this is the final product! Hahaha faceless but nonetheless awesome! :D I absolutely loooove the hair of Mika-doll.

Shortly after I got there, Mika's mom came out to ask for glue-gunners and girls who wish to become Lollipop and Big Girls! I didn't even know what that was about so I didn't volunteer or anything. Kinda regret it, 'cause I would love to be just the glue-gunner without being a lollipop girl. Hahaha. Being one of those to decorate the ridiculously beautiful piano would be wayyyy cool.

So while I was making the banner, the other fans were chatting and we were sharing stuff like when we first started to love Mika, our favourite songs, other gigs we've been to this year blah blah. Arielle wants to play 'My Interpretation' during her funeral. I kinda wanna do that now that I think about it! It's the perfect song. xD And Jassmin was like filming this video thingy for Kick-Ass so it was mad fun. All the chatting made us really excited! Hahahaha. Only downer was this idiot who kept lurking around our area, doing weird stretched and asking for our drinks. Like srsly wth, GO AWAY. But we kinda learnt to ignore him after a while, even though the thought of him still annoys the hell outta me. -.-

Here's (click) the video! ENJOY. :D

Then at like four plus, this security guard told us to step aside. Us, as in all those from MFC. Like is that awesome or what? I was expecting some Meet & Greet or like backstage access! xD Mwahahaha. We gladly did and there was a small commontion about who was or was not from MFC and if we did RSVP on the forum. I think in the end there were about eighteen of us. And there was this guy (prolly gay xD) who was from MFC but he bought a seating ticket (dumb, or what) so he was frantically looking for people to exchange their standing ones with him. Sad case.

We waited around and talked some more, ON THE ROAD. Hahaha there was this security guy who came over to us and asked "So you girls still wanna watch the Mika concert right?" We were thinking like du-uhhhhh and he said "If that's the case then you might wanna sit inside here (points) 'cause you won't be able to once a lorry comes along." HAHAHAHHAHAHAH OMG FUNNY SHIT. He is so humorous omg we all just laughed out loud, literally. See how Mika fans risk their lives to see him! xD

Then we passed some food we had to clear around, including Bah Zhang (rice dumplings). JieMin brought it I think. Iona actually tried it and said it was delicious! xD Hahaha. Oh, how we love eating good food in this country. :D While waiting, we also took photos with the VIP entrance thing and other random stuff. (:

MFCers in Singapore. You can see me holding my 'Mika You Are Beautiful' banner! :D

And a picture of our cute shoes. Hahaha those who weren't wearing covered shoes really suffered during the concert I think. D:

The time to open doors finally came and we got to go in five minutes before everybody else! :D We did a quick bag check and the staff quickly checked our tickets before we started to run in. But we soon realised that there was no need to run so we walked in and settled comfortably in the first row! I was at the very centre (very very near the gorgeous piano!) and I felt really lucky! And we noticed steps on the other side of the barricade so Camen and I were totally fantasizing about Mika walking up those steps and us being able to like touch him or something! HAHAHAHA. But Iona told us that Mika never comes off stage so poof! We put out bags on those steps instead and waited for other fans to settle while LAMC played horrible pre-concert music. -.-

Concert began and as they say, the rest is history! PICTURES BELOW. (Click to enlarge)

It was seriously the most colourful concert I have EVER witnessed. I am so lucky to have been with the MFC people! Thank you gals! We had so much fun queuing together I swear it wouldn't have been the same without you. Screaming and singing every word to each of Mika's song in the front row with you people made the concert awesome, along with Mika's awesomeness of course. Hahaha I'm running out of vocab.

After the concert, some thirty of us (not just MFC-ers) went backstage to try and catch Mika! We waited for almost an hour and it was almost twelve midnight before he came. While waiting, someone actually brought us orange juice and iced water! How kind is he to fans?! All the waiting was made worthwhile when he signed on my Tofu-doll and The Boy Who Knew Too Much Asian Tour Edition CD! :D

It took about two weeks for post-Mika blues to disappear but boy, I wish he would come again. Till then! :D

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fliest of them all?

2010-06-09T19:21:00.008+08:00

Ask me anything.

I'm spending wayyyyy to much money I'm feeling so guilty. Shit. My savings for a new laptop are seriously going to food and clothes and shoes and whatnot. I AM SO GUILTY.
And there's flea this saturday. Oh kill me.

Went to Haji Lane with YiRong on Sunday! It's a lovely place to shop and hang out!

YiRong supposedly did her research but it was kinda useless. We ended up walking the whole place and going into every interesting-looking shop. Haha. Best part was that we could browse without crowds and try without queuing for fitting rooms! AWESOME. Lesson learnt: Go after 2pm 'cause going at one plus made us realise many shops weren't open. And the graffiti on the walls were amazing. I only took a picture of this one:

The Hulk.

How I wish there was an Iron Man one. I would camwhore with it like crazy, I swear. xD
& I think Take That needs to have more new updates before they lose me to the RDJ Fandom. Hahahaha.

Anyway, Xtina's new albums is awesome! :D :D :D

Love it love it! Ahhhhh. And her performance on MTV Movie Awards was uhhhhhmazing.

I leave the best for last:

I don't want our regular meetings to end.

I'm going to watch Glee's finale now! (Oh and JOKE OF THE DAY - Ch 5 is showing the first ep of Glee today. Hurray for our fabulous TV stations in Singapore.)

[Lyrics of the whole song are awesome so just click, damn it.]

2010-06-05T00:34:00.002+08:00

I like old songs. Somehow, sometimes, I think I was born in the wrong era.

I just realised USS has this $2 thing every evening from 7pm to 10pm! Like, guests can walk from Hollywood to New York, while taking pretty pictures and eating from the Hollywood China Bistro, Celebrity Cafe or Mel's Drive-in! SO WORTH IT OMG. I think all of you who do not dare to take the ride should go for this. Plus, it's at night so the lighting is amazing. (:

Went out with PX on Tuesday for lunch and Prince of Persia! Katsu Don is very very nice! :D I didn't eat the don but the chicken katsu I ate was delicious! Hahaha and she loved her bowl of egg and rice and pork. xD Money well-spent on good food. :D PoP is seriously lame and the script just sucks balls. Jake Gyllenhaal is hot and he's the only good thing about the entire movie! xD Hahahaha "We are no longer pure." OMRDJ JOKE OF THE DAY. And there's this paper shop selling all kinds of paper-products and they have these conversation-starters! Haha! Like which loser will buy a box of these stuff and take it out during an awkward dinner! xD Hahaha answering some of the questions were fun though, sometimes ridiculously fun. Hahaha.

Went out with Exco on Thursday! (: Kichn is kinda cool with the ambience and decor but I hate the fact that they appear so eco-friendly and yet are NOT at all. D: But the food was good and filling, plus the SHAKES were awesome so I guess it's not all bad! Plus the ordering part was kinda fun, just that I don't have any artistic sense in me so mine was just hearts. xD Yay times spent with Exco is always a fun mix of nostalgia and also new adventures. Listening to stories by everyone just made it so entertaining. xD And it also shows how far we've come I guess? Like how we've changed, remained the same and the various lives we're leading right now.

I think Uni will be an exciting new chapter. Not all positive, but not all negative either.

Met up with JiaLing today! It's been so loooooong. Hahaha I told her about my no-carbo diet and she mentioned it THROUGHOUT the night. D: I can decide what I wanna eat okay! So heck the diet if I wanna. Hahaha. (And that reminds me, I ate rice on Thurs night anyway.) So we ate at this Jap restaurant called AOBA and it was not bad! The soup was very good (albeit oily) and the char siew was heavenly. The ramen itself was so-so only though, so I didn't finish it. Hahaha then we walked to Vivo's balcony to see USS and it looked kinda pathetic and small. D: Could only see Hotel Michael clearly and that was obviously not what we wanted to see anyway. -.- Then we decided to have dessert and I must say the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CAFE is lovely! The ambience is amazing and the food is very reasonably-priced. I will definitely go there again! :D Haha we sat there for like three hours just chatting non-stop. I like. (:

PX: Congrats you passed your driving test! :D :D :D Muzzle toff!

Okay pictures of my recent life are on Facebook. (:

F.A.T we NEEEEED to meet up. I miss you!

I can tell you now without a trace of fear that my love will be forever

2010-05-30T23:34:00.002+08:00

I'm having Grey's withdrawal symptoms. D: This is bad. I am a TV addict and I need to stop it 'cause I'm kinda like wasting my life away.

Work today was goooooood 'cause I worked morning shift and work ended at 1430! :D Plus, I was at Grouper in the morning so that was awesome. No boring stuff and constantly interacting with guests! Time kinda flew by at Grouper. The same cannot be said for Lookout omrdj. It was sooo hypnotising. D: Then YenTing, Celine, April and I went to eat at Louis' Pizza! :D It was the whole pizza shared by just four of us so it was filling ttm. (And there goes my diet but ohwell.) We had Hawaiian (yes, typical) but it was damn good cause the baked mozzarella cheese with a generous amount of ham and pineapples totally rocked the pizza. I was reminded of cycling days, when like twelve of us went there to eat. I think I paid like five bucks for a slice of pizza, soup, and the tiramisu. Hahaha. Kinda miss cycling days now that I think about it.

I think I'm going to stay home for the most of this week 'cause somehow my appointments are badly planned and I can't be bothered to like ask people out. Hahaha. And also the fact that I have to save money after busting like eighty bucks yesterday. D: And another fifty bucks today 'cause I didn't wanna take money from my mum when I went to Sheng Siong just now. Sigh. I musn't forget that I'm saving for a laptop.

Speaking of which, IT Fair coming! :D I think I'll be going with the sissy. I think I should call Randy before buying just to make sure I get a good laptop. Haha.

Anyway, pictures from that day at USS with HuiYi!

YAY I FEEL LIKE A TOURIST. I LIKE THAT FEELING. :D

SATC2 with 08S54 was kinda lovely and yet DAMN HILARIOUS. Can't believe our IDs had to be checked before we could enter the movie. D: But ohwell, that's kinda cute, isn't it? xD Shopping for the picnic was so fun! Hahaha we kept stopping at places to talk, and we kept losing people along the way. Or maybe it was just me. Travelling to Barrage was torture. Why didn't they include a Barrage station for the Circle Line?! I mean, Cl goes to places like Indoor Stadium and Esplanade; why did they exclude Barrage?! D:

Anyhow, class outing = SUCCESS. :D Yay. I think we're meeting again this weekend! (:

Life's too short to be afraid; So take a pill to numb the pain.

2010-05-28T23:15:00.006+08:00

"If you find a job you really love, you'll never work again."

I wish I could study films. Like, I'll spend a year watching all the good films ever made and next time, I'll be hired as a Film Encyclopedia or something. Or maybe I could study Pop music such that next time I can be hired as a Song-Selector for all events and occasions. If only, if only.

I made the decision barely two days ago and I'm regretting it already. I think I was kinda impulsive, but then again, I think it will do me good in the long run. I guess I have my family's support and that's a great deal.

Sherlyn Ho! No more dramatic ramblings like "fate has dealt me with the worst possible outcome / fishsmell is leaving me ):" okay. You make it sound like the end of the world. PLUS, I AM NOT LEAVING YOU. I think you'll be the one leaving me in the end please! I know the future is uncertain and all that, and that we will more probably than not drift apart, but I want you to know that: If I am Cristina, you are my Meredith. Hahahaha I know currently you love Cristina, but don't care, you be Meredith. xD

Class gathering tomorrow. Cannot wait! :D

&&& I miss you a lot, F.A.T! Can we please meet up soon?

Oh Lord, hear me now. Could you put a good word in somehow?

2010-05-27T03:07:00.002+08:00

Today was a good day! :D I LIKE. I like off days a lot and today was one of those very productive and happy ones! xD

Had lunch with Sherlyn. Well not exactly lunch 'cause we baked cookies and stuff. Hahaha. Trying to fatten me up only. D: But yay we talked a lot about a lot of stuff. (: Impromptu lunches are good. People, relationships, Uni, and just generally stuff. I'm ramblimg now prolly 'cause I can ramble with her. xD

Then went to Science Centre for the Pixar Exhibition with PinnXian! No photography or video-taping was allowed. (HAHAAHAHHAH OMRDJ sounds like a JPR spiel. xD) So we don't have photos. I did take a short video of a T-Rex outside the Science Centre entrance though. That was kinda cool. Hahaha. Anyway, Pixar is soooo cool. I'm gonna have to catch up with some of their productions.

2010-05-25T00:24:00.002+08:00

Ugh Tumblr has this error message thing so I cannot see anything! I need my dose of RDJ damn it. Plus, everyone's posting about Grey's finale and I wanna see! Anyway, go here if you wanna have an awesome coverage of the finale. (This is kinda for you, Sher. ;D)

Phuket was R&R TTM for me. Hahaha spamming abbreviations here but heck. Photos soon! (:

Okay short update only so nothing much.

As of 0135 (two hours later), Tumblr is finally up. YAYYYY.
And Uni stuff is killing me. I don't like to make life-changing decisions like this, damn it. Help.
I need to exercise more. And eat less. And lose weight. And eat more iron-rich food. HA HA.
Also, need to save more money. Need to spend less recklessly. Not as if I've retired you know. I've barely started. But, I wanna (and kinda need to) meet up with people. That requires some moolah. I miss people and in the past week, I've only really met HuiYi (well that's kinda enough if I really think about it) but I wanna meet up with more people to talk. I like H2H. Haha.

Okay. Goodbye.

This is the part where the curtains fall and the daydream ends it all

“Yes or no. In or out. Up or down. Live or die. Hero or coward. Fight or give in. I’ll say it again to make sure you hear me. The human life is made up of choices. Live or die. That’s the important choice. And it’s not always in our hands.”

-Derek Shepard

I'm supposed to be enjoying myself in Phuket right now, but I'm sitting at home instead. Just watched Grey's Anatomy Season 6 finale and I swear I was a mess all over. This is depressing, more depressing than when I watched A Single Man or whatsoever.

The BEST Grey's finale so far.

Even doin' nothin's so hard to do.

2010-05-21T01:25:00.002+08:00

I'm so so so tired.

But still, I wanna update this blog 'cause I haven't for days now and I'm (YAY) flying off to Phuket tomorrow! :D Hope it'll be a total Rest & Relax (see, I've learnt some army language here)!

JPR Chalet was awesome. We need more overnight sessions like these. I like. And more awesome people like that night. Hahaha this will sound weird but having guys around during chalets is so different! Especially when the age group of everyone is kinda varied. Not a total generation gap, but you know what I mean.

I wanna watch Blue Valentine.
MUST. REMEMBER.

And I wanna watch Away We Go. I think it's only showing at Picturehouse though. Someone please ask me out for that. Oh, and Mika too.

I think I'm completely blabbering and YenTing is my best witness to what lack of sleep does to me. Being at Grouper with her with the E-stop cover is ze best. :D I LIKE.

I'll be awake again in four hours. & I need to load new music for the flight. Argh. And I won't be watching Glee (which is already in my computer) nor the season finale of Greys (OMGGG!!!) until Monday. OMRDJIDONTEVENWANNAGOPHUKETANYMORENOW.

Good night, people.

Didn't know how much I would miss you until you were gone

2010-05-13T02:10:00.007+08:00

Hellooooo. Pictures of Class BBQ first! :D

Making the fire. I was VERY HELPFUL in holding the grill!

ShuHan!

Guys who were there.

Barbequeueing.

Aww!

Our main event planner cum host! :D

I want more gatherings like that. (:

Watched The Runaways with Huda, Gretchen, Kellie and Claire on Monday and it was good! Hahaha more M18 than I expected but I think the biography was good. Not the best choice of movie after work, so thank God I went from home. :D Joan Jetts music is awesome so I think I'm going to explore more Bowie or some old music. Hahahaha I bet that 'passion' will die down pretty quickly. Kristen Stewart was surprisingly good in the movie too! I think Twilight kinda killed her career as a credible artist although it did give her a huge fan base. She's more indie than that and I'm glad this movie gave her a chance to prove her talent.

Then on Tuesday, watched Kameleon (2008) with Celine, Sume, Huda and YunJing! :D IT WAS AWESOMEEEEEEEEE. Duh right, it's featured in the European Film Festival. There wasn't any moment where the movie was boring, and the whole plot was so well-thought and original. I like! :D Plus the direction was so brilliant that they made everything look ridiculously beautiful or tragic. Ahhh. Next year I must watch more movies during the festival.

Work has been kinda alright only. |:

Training is draining.

That's what I concluded after training like my fifth crew. Can't remember. It's good to take a break from being in position or Controls, but talking to the same person for three days on end about work can be really tiring. I could talk about life but it's restricted, plus it's only during lunch time. /: But yeah Jasmine's alright and she passed the MCQ and Jessy's test well so yay I'm a happy trainer.

Kinda miss Controls now though. And it's tough getting assigned to Controls 'cause there's so many of us now! D: Hahaha. Actually I only miss the air-con, regular rotation and talking to the Techs. Oh and the fact that Bernard watches Glee amazes me, even now. :D Hahaha.

I want off days and I want more moolah! How? D:

& I love the way you know who you are and for me it's exciting

2010-05-09T18:14:00.002+08:00

I'm damn high now 'cause Ep 21 of Grey's Anatomy is pure awesomeness. It has the good feeling of older eps with much more twists and turns so omrdj I like. :D I like complicated Grey's. Saddistic, but I like things to be dark and twisted. Ah.

Last week's Glee was so good too. One of the best since that stupid hiatus.
Okay I'm off to watch Private Practice now. :D
And Gravity is a good new show. I like.

I need to stop watching TV. And Movies.

Yay I present you with nothing but the best,

Oh and class BBQ was nice. Missed some people but overall it was good. I like. Much thanks to Randy! Hahaha like Sherlyn says, we were hot last night, literally! xD HAHAHA. And talked a lot, I like too. ♥

Okay enjoy what's left of your weekend! (:

This love's for gentlemen only; that's with the fortunate only

2010-05-08T12:18:00.003+08:00

Ip Man 2 is awesome! :D :D :D I like Donnie Yen. Hahahaha another old guy I know, but he really got his breakout in Ip Man so I know I'm not alone in that thought! xD Adlin, right?! HAHAHA.

I watched Ip Man for the second time last night with my family. Haha, it's part of our Mother's Day celebrations. We ate at The Cathay (this chinese restaurant) and the food was really good. Not too salty, fried/braised/boiled to perfection. I like. Hahaha I like Chinese food actually, 'cause it's one of the healthiest cuisines you can find, well, excluding all the deep-fried shit they show on American shows. Anyway, we had dinner, then walked around while waiting for the movie at 2150. So we went inside CLIQUE and their stuff is so lovely! The wallets, bags, t-shirts, household items were all so nice, BUT SO PRICEY. ): So sad. I wanted to buy this bag for the mother but it was wayyyyy too exorbitant. ): Then we walked along the booths and went inside Gramaphone! Hahaha there were so many of those one-dollar up till ten-dollar CDs that I wanted to buy one just to like check out the artist and explore new music. HAHAHA. But I was told it was a waste of money, which I kinda agree with, so I gave it a pass. And Take That's CD from 2005 was going for like i-forgot-how-much. Pity I already have it. xD

Anybody wants to go for Mika's concert? LET ME KNOW!

Oh and I watched Animal Farm this week. It was a brilliant show! I'd say it's meant for a Singaporean audience but definitely meets international standards. It was well-balanced with lots of irony and humour and also kept very true to the story. It's gonna end it's run soon so if you still wish to get tickets, hurry! Haha and no, it isn't as boring as what Lit lessons made it out to be. xD

Class barbeque tonight! VERY EXCITING! Been damn long since I saw everyone.

Have a nice weekend! (:

I'm only gonna let you kill me once

2010-05-04T00:49:00.005+08:00

I have this strong urge to watch a RDJ movie right now but I can't 'cause I've to photocopy my supporting documents all over again. SMU needs so many things. Sigh. And I've been facing the computer for two hours already, doing all kinds of random stuff but that. AND I haven't decided what to wear tomorrow so I think I will likely look quite horrid. Plus it's a group interview so that interviewers will probably compare me with the others and I will look even worse. I also haven't really studied or read through much for the interview so I'm feeling really unprepared and noob right now. I hope everyone is nice tomorrow and nobody tries to screw me up. Hopefully there are a lot of act-smart people whom the interviewers will grill and then I'll magically come up with the correct answer. :D Hahaha. I wish the written test will be about something I know, and that they won't ask me about what I write 'cause I really do better in speech than in words.

I'm supposed to be very confident about interviews. What happened to me? D:

Today, my life was like an action movie. o.O
Celine, Sume and I were running late for work so we were damn excited to see Shankar the Tech if he could drive us to JPR in his buggy. He was like 'I knew it.' and said yes, so we excitedly climbed onto the buggy's back seat (something like a lorry's) and I told Sume to go first. So with one of my feet in the car, Shankar started driving off! I WAS TOTALLY FALLING BACKWARDS ~~OMG~~ OMRDJ! Then Sume and Celine pulled me up onto the car like some freaking action movie where those good guys fall off a cliff then someone miraculously grabs on to their hand and pulls them to safety! HAHAHA. I was panting like nobody's business in the buggy and all three of us were just in stitches. It was surreal but sure as hell was hilarious. xD

Omrdj. See, contrary to popular belief, I have an exciting life.

Iwannaquitthisjob. Iwannaquitthisjobsoon. I wannaquitthisjobassoonasican.
The people are nice and the job's kinda cool. But I've seen most of it. I guess JPR won't be the JPR I know when (almost) everyone leaves. Sooner or later.

Yay more RDj love.

[edit]
I WAS MOMENTARILY DEPRESSED TODAY WHEN I SAW THAT THE HUMONGOUS POSTER OF IRON MAN AT HARBOURFRONT MRT STATION WAS REPLACED WITH SHREK 3D'S. SERIOUSLY, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? ):

[/edit]

Don't think, drink!

2010-05-02T01:13:00.002+08:00

IRON MAN 2!

Words do no justice to this movie so just watch it, folks! :D

It's a MUST for all you techies and geeks, but everyone SHOULD watch it because of Robert Downey Junior! That's enough reason to do ANYTHING. Hahahahhaa.
RDJ is just genius. Everything he does it wayyyyyyy awesomer than what awesome stands for. Hahaha.
I swear I'm gonna rewatch Iron Man. (Since I rewatched A Single Man, this is quite duh. HAHAHA.) My movie of 2010 definitely!

Chicago on Friday night was swell. Cell Block Tango still trumps 'cause it's just so well-executed (pun-intended). I prefer the movie overall but the musical was good too.

Okay these few days have been very luxurious 'cause I've been watching all these awesome stuff. Next week is still gonna be great 'cause I'll be watching Ip Man and Animal Farm (yes, I'm not sick of it from Sec. Two Lit, hahahaha). :D But the following week will be one filled with withdrawal symptoms. ):

Okay tyvm for your time.

Too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

2010-04-30T13:11:00.005+08:00

I'm feeling nostalgic today.

Was looking through all the old photos. Like really old. Cedar days are dearly missed.
Sports Day, National Track & Field (with the PCs omg), all the outings I had with HuiYi (♥♥♥), Racial Harmony Day & Valentines' Day (IN CEDAR IS, BTW, UNBEATABLE), Prom etcetc.

And I suddenly recall incidents when we stayed back in school till really late having those meetings and proposal-discussions, AND THE SECURITY GUARD SCARING US. D: Plus sitting in Ms Poon's office listening to the changes made to Obstacles proposal. Hahaha and the interviews we had outing the Second-Level Empty Corridor in the rain, while each having funny names like Maria. I miss slacking in the Prefects' Room talking about BUSHBEAR and using the Ikea stool leg as a baseball bat. Those times when I used to sleep from ten pm to twelve midnight, and then work on the Teachers' Day powerpoint until it was time for school, all the while listening to The Click Five. I miss us decorating the Hall with pretty balloons and wrapping the handrails with lovely ribbon, while making Investiture souvenirs on the floor of the Hall, and at the same time watching the workers arrange chairs. I don't miss the rehearsing of speeches and walk-ins but I think about them. Haha.

And to HuiYi, I remember you used to text me like crazy. All the little quarrels we had and all the nicknames we shared. Hahaha I look back on our photos and we were so cute (not in a narcissistic way). The stayovers, Ikea day-trips, Sentosa outings and birthday dates - I miss. And not forgetting the letters we used to write. I remember during one of our quarrels I gave you a crushed-then-uncrushed paper you were so pissed at me. I also remember this lovely postcard which I wrote for you which you took a photo of and circled it. (Hahaha to save us both the embarrassment I won't post it xD). We talked about boyfriends and marriage and anything under the sun. We still do. (: And I hope we always will!

Okay nostalgia all unleashed.
I like to look at old photos and feel all nostalgic. (:

A human being's made of more than air
With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there
Unless that human bein' next to you
Is unimpressive, undistinguished You know who. . .

Rewatched Chicago today and it was awesome! :D Can't wait for the actual musical this Friday! Omg exciting.

Work nowadays has been mostly boring. But there are still interesting guests (nasty and polite alike) and funny stories. Haha if you go out with me, I'll most probably be talking about work and how you should NOT go to USS this year but wait 'til next year or something. Hahaha. Time flies and I think it will be soon before I quit my job. Shall see how with the other A-Level kids.

So on Tuesday, finally met up with LiXuan! :D Along with Sherlyn and SiMei. We met at Somerset and went to this quite nice Jap restaurant (but with horrible service omg) at Cuppage Centre. Haha sounds ulu? IT IS. But the food was not bad and reasonably-priced! (:

At the Jap Restaurant. (:

Then we walk-walked and went to Cold Rock for some ice-cream even though we were kinda full! Haha. I got reminded of ICC and F.A.T. Anyway, saw Deborah Yew! It's been so damn long. Hahaha, we used to be in the same group for Music in Sec One and Two, and we also did some Sungei Buloh thing together before. xD HAHAHA. She recommended the Ferrero Rocher combination and we mixed the other one ourselves.

Haha as usual, SiMei doesn't eat raspberries but she does accept strawberries. Tsk.

ICC.

Today, we celebrated WanLing's birthday! :D :D :D

Met at Punggol MRT at seven-freaking-am this morning! Omg I woke up at six. But I think it's worth it! Haha. I was early! Keok was late and while I was trying to describe where I was, I realised it's damn difficult! 'Cause it was grassland and lamp poles and cranes everywhere so everything that I described was all over Punggol! D: Finally I used a green car and that's how we managed to meet. -.-

Walked slowly, under the guidance of Jayne and Keok, to WanLing's house. Hahaha I really just followed behind them. xD Then we got to the void deck and waited for Adlin to arrive, before going up! Hahaha exciting ttm! :D

WanTeng, WanLing's lovely sister, let us in and we creeped into WanLing's room! xD AND WHILE I WAS TAKING THE SECOND PHOTO, SHE WOKE UP! Like suddenly, without disturbance etc! Didn't know she was such a light sleeper! D:

Then she explained that she was woken up by her mum at around seven to brush her teeth, WEAR HER AHEM and change from her peejays to other clothes. HAHAHA. So means she kinda knew! TSK. But I still think she was surprised la! xD

We went outside to eat the delicious, warm APPLE STRUDEL Adlin made! :D

She made it with green apples. So cute. Hahaha. And she was lazy to peel the skin off. But it's okay, it's alright, 'CAUSE IT WAS DELICIOUS! Ahhh. And topped with Raspberry ice-cream, it was gorgeous and scrumptious. I bet WanTeng liked it too. HAHA. We ate it with Yakult (to make it healthier xD) and it was damn filling.

PICTURE-SPAM! :D

F.A.T = ♥

We went to Compasspoint Starbucks after leaving WanLing's house and talked and talked. I like. Plus, with Vanilla Latte (which was lovely) and waffles (at only eighty cents!), it was perfect!

YAY we're meeting again on Tuesday! Can't wait! :D

I MISS TAKE THAT! ):

I want a new album. A world tour. SOMETHING! Argh.

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

2010-04-19T23:20:00.004+08:00

Glee's new episode has nice songs! I LIKE. Hahaha.
And omg I'm slow but they're on American Idol! I cannot believe this. And can't believe Ryan didn't interview them. Matthew Morrison looked hot. Ah.

On a sidenote, American Idol is not worth watching anymore 'cause Andrew Garcia is out. And it was so damn sudden everyone was just stunned when Ryan announced it. Like wth. At least Siobhan is still in, but without Andrew, it's gonna be a whole lot more boring. But no matter what, Crystal will probably win or something. She's cool.

Went back to Fairfield today to belay for one hour. WanLing and I were supposed to lead up, set up one lane, belay two boys, put retriever lines in both lanes, pack up then go home for twenty five bucks each. In the end, we reached at 0910 but left at 1105. D: OT ttm.
The one boy who turned up climbed and reached the top in less than three minutes! :D So we were damn happy.
Then WanLing top-roped up the right lane and set up the retriever line in the left wall. Then when I was changing the rope back to the retriever line, IT DISCONNECTED. D: Like omfg both lines just fell and we stunned. Then WanLing top-roped up again and we got it up. BUT when I was changing it back to the r. line, it broke AGAIN! D: LIKE SERIOUSLY OMG. Then we became smart and decided to top-rope up with both retriever lines. And we did it! :D :D :D
Then while we were pulling the rope back down, William shouted to us "Hey girls!" So we paused and looked up, then continued to pull the rope down. And when the rope was down and both retriever lines were up, he actually said "Can this boy go?"

OFNMLNLJBHJLKWBNDMLWNFLMWNMLBNLMBRLOMFGOMFGOMFG!!

Like seriously?! You HAD to say it NOW?!!?!? Damn damn damn annoying. But in the end, being the responsible and nice people we are, we let the boy climb. And the changing of ropes to retriever line was damn successful this time, so yay. If it dropped again I would just be so damn pissed.

Sometimes, really, LIFE'S A BITCH.

Had lunch with Adlin and WanLing (yay we're so nice) and talked. (: WanLing didn't know creamer makes tea turn into milk tea and also tried stirring her tea with the sachet/string! HAHAHAHAHAHA. Typical WanLing! xD

Then met up with Sherlyn to chitchat and help her prep for her interview! Hahaha she's gotta be the hardest-working interviewee I know! All the articles, questions, answers and prep is just amazing. I don't know how people can not detest mugging after As. I mean, I would do ANYTHING not to mug. D:

I wore my pleated blue shorts that look like a skirt to meet SherLi, YiRong and WanQin! Hahaha I think I looked weird but I think the shorts are cool. xD YiRong was really late (even though I was late too) but she didn't have to treat us to anything. HA HA. Shokudo was awesome as usual and we ate till we were really damn full. I like Macha. And the omelette and Chicken Katsu Don were superb too. (:

AH I like off days like today. I don't wanna wake up at 0530 tomorrow for work! ;'(

I should've known you'd bring me heartache; Almost Lovers always do.

2010-04-18T01:55:00.003+08:00

FFFF was awesome today! :D
I love flea markets. I'm gonna go every month or something, and not shop for the other days of the month. HAHAHAHA. Anyway, met Keok, Jayne and Andy and we went to NYNY. Hahaha it was funny how Keok kept complaning she was damn broke, but yet she was craving for the Wild Mushroom and Sausage Baked Rice from NYNY. xD Anyhow, the food was rather good! :D But we found out about the unhygienic utensils that it put us off a bit. Terrible. Now I'm never gonna get that image of them cleaning the utensils with a cloth only outta my head. D: Adlin joined us, and once we were done eating, we headed over to the Flyer! It was awesome that Jayne could join us for some shopping! :D

It was like a damn far walk to Flyer from City Link. D: Next time we should just take the shuttle bus or something. Anyway, once we got there, it was like AMAZEMENT. Hahaha. Like, the whole place was just filled with booths and clothes and accessories and so many things to explore and purchase! AH. And we only (kinda) budgeted fifty bucks for the whole day of shopping so it was like 'see first, then come back again at the end of the day.' We had to try clothes in the not-so-near toilet so I didn't try a lot of clothes I thought were good buys. In the end, for (ONLY) 43 bucks, I bought a bag (OMG THIS ONE RLY DAMN COOL), a bangle, two tops and a bottom! Omg I've not felt like such a wise spender for a long long time. xD

So yay, new clothes to wear for the next month. And a new bag to use. All I need are new shoes. HAHA.

Anyway, Huda if you're reading this, they played The XX during the Flea! :D Hahaha.

And then I met PX and we went for Reverie V! :D This year, we got flowers and were early! Awesome right! :D The dances were okay. I loved HuiYi's dance the most! But those with Dicky were generally very good. Hahaha.

Photos!

♥

YAY she's damn happy with the sunflower! It's huge and gorgeous. I like. :D

And now I'm so darn tired. I wanna go sleep already.

I wish money would have sex in my pocket and multiply.

Disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak warfare.

2010-04-17T00:05:00.003+08:00

I remember picking these when I was younger. From the huge Saga tree behind my house. Now the tree's cut down and the whole place is new. Sometimes, this is why we hate improvement/development. Feeling all nostalgic again. Ohwell.

Listening to John Mayer all day! :D I like.

Work today was tiring. I was just so drained I kinda dozed off while my trainee, Relle, was doing her MCQ test. But yay, she passed! She's considered signed off the moment Jessy comes back to test her. Uncle Lee refuses to test her so argh. Sunday! (:

We're having so many newcomers I feel a little like leaving already. I see so many new faces. They're not unfamiliar, they're just not the people with whom I spent good times with. I can create new memories, but I want to hang on to old ones. If everyone leaves, I will too. So, we shall see how many of us do stay on. Like Sume says, there's this (imaginary) list of people with whom you will leave with. So if they do, I do.

WHY IS NTU NOT SENDING ME A LETTER! ):
I wanna be offered so badly. And SMU still hasn't called me. I am so sad. I really hope I get into a good local uni in a good course.

I really think I grow stupider as I grow older. (There's not even a word such as 'stupider'. See?!) I miss PSLE and O Levels. Why the hell did I slack in JC? I want to work hard again. Please please give me the chance to do so. I don't want to be stuck in a job where I'm super excited to get more than one thousand a month. ):

I MISS YOU F.A.T! Hahahaha damn old photo. o.O
I miss the days where all five of us would be present. Rockmasters, okay? We will reunite and be F.A.T (full) again.

EXCITED FOR FFFF TOMORROW! :D

Love you but I don't like you right now

2010-04-14T00:02:00.005+08:00

Happy 19th, Hudy!

Hahaha funny photo of us sleeping on the ferry back to Singapore from Batam. But, I like.
Keep moaning, being childish, having issues, vomitting expletives and anything verbal and funny. Just stop the violence, like hitting me. Thankyouverymuch.

So, we organised a surprise birthday party for Huda today! But Jessy spoilt all the surprise when she asked Huda "Are you going later?" -.- Like duh, it's her birthday, so of course she'll turn up! Haha but cute la. Anyway, nineteen people turned up at Ramen Tei so I guess that's not bad for a last-minute party? xD But damn it, we forgot Huda dislikes Jap food so I think she kinda hated it. It's all probably gonna be puked out when she's home. D: CHEESECAKE WAS GOOD AS PROMISED. So well-worth the money, although it's more expensive than I expected. Ohwell.

So now we have a Fun Committee Fund! Hahaha. Everyone pays five bucks. This totally reminds me of birthday fund during S54 days. xD Organising suck outings is fun but getting money back isn't. The same goes for rockclimbing actually, it's hard to get the money back. /:

Pardon my digressing - I think Huda loves our present! Hahaha the card must've been so epic. Her Zone 4 picture is absolutely classic-her and the message is hilarious! xD Oh and thanks PeiLin for the drum sticks. And Mahathis and PeiLin both for making the card what it is. (: Plus we had as awesome chat at Long John's. I like. (:

So, for the song for the day, click on my title.

Deceptacon; is a woman who appears attractive but is actually ugly.
Can be found in a number of situations or for a variety of reasons: Clever use of make-up. Drunkenness in the eye of the beholder. Darkness in a club. Nice from afar but far from nice. If you've only seen a very well taken photo. Looks good but has an awful voice/mind/personality. Anything that might deceive you into thinking she's buff but she aint; Comes from Transformers - robots in disguise.

I'm a little bit lost without you, & I'm a bloody big mess inside

2010-04-12T23:58:00.002+08:00

So hello, check out the song I posted today. I like. :D

Watched A Single Man AGAINNNNNNNNN today. I really think it's superb. The way it was filmed by Tom Ford was just amazing. Yes I think I'm crazy to spend money like that. But no, it wasn't a waste of money. I should've watch Inglorious twice too, damn it. ANYWAY, watching A Single Man has made me much more certain that in a couple, it's the relationship that matters. It's the souls, the characters that make it so ever-lasting. Yes, the outer-shell is important because one must find his/her partner gorgeous, but ultimately it's the inside that ensures eternity. And that's why gay or straight, it doesn't matter that much, does it? I'm a Hedonist so that's what I believe in anyway.

To all those who are reading, I ask that you leave a tag. (Just felt like saying that, but please do it anyway.)

NTUBS interview was alright. I hope I get in.
And SMU hasn't contacted me so I'm depressed. I hope my supporting documents got delivered 'cause I only put a $1 stamp. D:

Wotk starts tomorrow after a three-day break! I hope I haven't missed out much, since there aren't many status updates on Facebook by my fellow Game Wardens. xD I think I'm Trainer again tomorrow but I'm not sure.

No more Monday blues since I'm not on a regular job. I have day-after-off-day-blues. ):

Let's spend tonight on top of the world

2010-04-11T03:26:00.006+08:00

So we had a surprise partaye for Jayne's 19th today and it was a smashing success! :D :D :D YAY I LIKE.

Hahaha except for the fact that while we were hiding (waiting for Jayne to enter), I did not know she'd entered the house already so I shouted "Eh when do we come out?!" and she heard me. HAHAHAHHA DAMN LOSER. But she was, nevertheless, pleasantly surprised, and that's all that matters! :D

Adlin, Keok and I met at Bugis at 1430 supposedly. Hahaha but everyone except Keok was late. We went shopping for party stuff at these shops near National Library and they were awesome. Haha shopping for parties is fun stuff, except when you're calculating how much the bill wound amount to. xD Who knew planning a party was so expensive?! Like, filling up one regular-sized balloon costs one dollar! That means a roomful of it can easily be thirty bucks! D: And all the cute plates and cups and utensils are totally overpriced. D: In the end, we just bought a Happy Birthday streamer, party hats, balloons and the plates/bowls. It was simple yet pretty. ♥

The HAPPY BIRTHDAY streamer! The guys put it up. (:

XuRong being (not acting) really gay while waiting for Jayne to arrive. OMG Eeeeew nightmarish ttm.

The Jayne came and I totally spoilt it during her entrance. But ohwell. And I missed the moment she blew her candles. ): I hate my camera for being so lag sometimes. Sigh.
But yeah, JAYNE WAS SMILING FROM EAR TO EAR! :D

Jayne is overcome with glee! :D

Then we finally started the steamboat at around nine fifteen! I think everyone was kinda famished. We had no rice left after the first round! D: But towards the end, we all realised that one bowl of rice was enough 'cause the other dishes and soup were filling enough. Hahaha. Jayne didn't eat so she was the COOKING MAMA! Literally. xD

And we start steamboaring! Look at the pretty table-cloth and plates/bowls and cups! I love it!

Pink + yellow = perfect combination!

F.A.T (yayyyyyyyyy! :D)

Group photo. I like. (: Everyone so cute. Haha.

Oh and we played the Truth game. Hahahaha we managed to trick Jayne by directing all the questions to her. But omg the XuRong questions were epic ttm. I should upload the video taken by WeiLiang. Haha some of the questions were kinda hilarious so everyone just had a good laugh out of the entire night. xD

After cleaning up (a lot of eye-power during that. /:) we went downstairs. IT WAS SO DARK. Scary. We went to the fitness corner and ate Coach's ice-crean until we couldn't stomach it and cabbed home. We were lucky tonight 'cause five people got into the cab, thanks WanLing. Hahaha.

I like gatherings like this. The planning is like damn fun already, but the event itself is more fun 'cause you're spending it with more people! Loads of talking and sharing and catching up. (: Plus we had steamboat so it had a CNY/family feeling there. I'm really thankful we're so bonded in that way, and that we're still in touch and hanging out.

Class mj last night left me dead beat. I can't believe I've been awake for about twenty hours. D: Goodnight happy people of the world. (:

A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity

2010-04-10T12:52:00.006+08:00

Yay just got back home after hanging out with 08S54! :D It's been some time. Okay, maybe just one week or two. Hahaha. But yeah, good times at JingWei's house though we all fell asleep at around four after really draining mj. D: And talked a lot so I like. The sharing and catching up is awesome. :D I really hope this kinda continues for a long long time. Haha.

And oh, found out that Sherlyn Ho you read my blog, still. xD

I'm off for three days, but I'm busy. I need some good, uninterrupted sleep. My eyebags are seriously horrid and I "look ten years older". ): Depressing. I should probably start those face masks thingies that my sister does. And of course, sleep more and err, drink more water. Hahaha.

I think I'm falling sick soon 'cause my phlegm has streaks of blood. I'm freaked out. D: Seriously. But it's happened before when I was in Primary 3 or so. But that time, was the time when my voice became from the high-pitched-kiddy-voice to the low low one I have now. D: So, I'm wondering how low my voice will get. HAHA. As if I don't sound like a guy enough.

Anyway, I watched A Single Man. ♥

Just look at the sadness in his eyes. )':

It's so visually stunning, that the screencaps would make an amazingly beautiful photo-book. The whole art directions is so brilliant. On top from that, the story is simply bittersweet. So depressing that I think I'm still a little 'emo' even though I watched it two nights ago. Colin Firth is brilliant as usual, and the supporting cast was awesome too.

Ahhh I want to watch it again. Not a waste of money.
(Please watch the trailer by clicking on the post title if you haven't watched the trailer/movie yet!)

George : A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

Tom Ford - A Single Man (2009)

But it’s just safer to keep you in this heart of mine

2010-04-08T01:22:00.002+08:00

So, I'm trying to blog everyday. :D

Went for dinner with the mother today. It turned out lovely! I like. Hahaha. We went to eat cheap (thought not-so-nice) food and Yami yogurt. Haha and I learnt that Yami's been around for twenty, if not thirty years now. Wow, the things we discover from the older generation. xD

Then we went shopping and bought lovely new heels! :D Hahahahaha I'm not one to love heels, and I know the previous line sounded really bimbo. But those heels were really nice and amazingly comfortable. I might just wear them. xD And then we went shopping for bags for the sister's birthday and POA has this grey bag that's like ninety-two bucks but yet it feels so worth it. Then we popped by Springfield and there was another suitable bag for seventy-nine. Uh and we decided to consult her first. Haha.

Dinner this Sunday for the birthday celebration and I've got work. And I can't swap with anyone who can allow me to go for the lunch at 1330. ): Saddening.

Oh and I finally bought my basic tops. White, yellow and red! :D No navy blue so I was a little disappointed, but ohwell. Marks and Spencers has these nice shorts that are totally adorable! But they're forty-nine and the mother says that's not the way to spend money. ):

Today, I was trainer for the newbies of JPR so that was kinda cool, except the fact that I was in slippers 'cause I forgot to bring my bloody shoes. D: Really embarrassing. But I'm a good trainer (or at least I think so) so I think it offsets everything. xD Training resumes tomorrow and hopefully they can be signed off! Then maybe I can be in position again or something. It's freezing inside the break room. I think no matter what position we get, we'll still complain, hahahhaha.

And my Havaianas broke! D: Like, really just broke. I bought it for like more than forty bucks and it broke in like six months. Not even one year! I really feel like going back to the shop to demand a refund or something. Gah. Never gonna buy slippers from NUM again. I saw nice Levi's slippers for less than twenty bucks but the sister says Levi's slippers won't last too. Urgh. I'll go back to wearing my lousy Cotton On ones then. ): Sad.

Rock climbing BBQ this weekend is gonna rock the house! :D Excited ttm!

And can more Unis and faculties please call me? Although I totally don't know what to wear for interviews. I think I need new clothes for that, no? xD

I'd rather be with you; say you want the same thing too.

2010-04-06T13:49:00.002+08:00

I'm choosing to think that I have at least one Anyway Friend. ♥

Why did I change the pace, hearts were never meant to race.

2010-04-05T18:32:00.002+08:00

Support Andrew Garcia for American Idol! :D "Forever" was seriously good.

Anyway, I'm updating for you, HuiYi! :D Yay gonna see you tomorrow! ♥

Okay I'm going over to Gretchen's house to stayover tonight. I think it'll be awesome! Gonna play ROCK BAND and uh, watch Jurassic Park? Hahahaha. We always organise so many things that it tires me, but I'm happy at the end of it. xD

And the belaying thing is finally over! No more annoying little kids and useless teachers! I guess it was fine sometimes, and after all, I'm getting paid for around sixty bucks a day with just three hours of work... but I guess seven sessions in two weeks is really enough. William was nice and all, but the OT without pay is annoying, especially when we have kids that are rude as hell.

Been meeting up with a lot of people lately! I think it's because it's post-A-Levels. And also people are working, which means they are also earning money! This means that we all have money to spend! :D

Okay got to go. Haha.

WATCH GLEE, IT'S COMING BACK ON APRIL 14! :D

I'll be the one you call your lover every now and then. ♥

2010-03-30T01:20:00.004+08:00

Saw this today. HA HA HA.

And this is the one I just did:

HAHAHAHAHAH OMG. And this is Google Singapore! xD Funny shit.

Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

2010-03-25T02:59:00.002+08:00

Okay I feel like blogging tonight! :D

So to all those who still bother to check for updates, I guess it's a good thing? Hahaha. And don't worry, I should still probably be stalking your blogs too, unless I don't know of your blog or you don't even have one. xD

I realised I haven't spoken about my job is Universal at all 'til now, so here goes! :D

So here's an old old photo. We used to wear these orange t-shirts until we get our uniforms. So I'm kinda lucky to have had mine. :D Back then, we did stuff like fence-watching, patrolling, greeter trainings (which I miss!) and all other sorts of training that totally took up time. Haha. And we could tap in before changing and making our way to JPR so that was cool. Hahaha. And I miss graveyard, a lot. ):

And so we had a Batam trip with the few of us! :D Haha this is Huda (YES YOU SHOULD BE HONOURED YOU'RE GETTING SPECIAL MENTION) and below are the others. I tried a full-body massage which is pretty awesome considering I cracked bones I never did. And I also had a try at driving in the deserted streets of Batam so that was incredible too! :D

"Batam people" at Go-Cart.

And we also have mega outings! This one was us watching Alice in Wonderland at Cine. We bought 14 tickets so that was kinda scary. And it's only the ones not working that day. But we had a great time. :D

And this is the 40-people outing we had at Sakura (Dhoby Ghaut)! It was massive, and scary. But it will probably be the only one we will have, and I will attend, so it's more of awesome than scary. Haha.

And the send-off for Klaus. I miss him already. He's out dear manufacturer from Germany. I can't wait till he's back in May! :D

Okay I think that's it for work. In other news, USS is already open so please come and see me! :D I'm at Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure (inside Lost World). YAY. Would be awesome and worth it if you bought the annual pass! Hahaha.

I've been listening a lot of Ke$ha. Don't judge me. HAHAHA.
"Your Love Is My Drug" is really dope. Give it a listen.

This year's been a year of meet-ups, thanks to the end of the bloody A Levels. Photos are on Facebook but for memories' sake, I think I'll put them here. :D

With LiuKun and gang! Hahaha. I think I'll call us IGC?

Four of us from TaiWan. Hahaha I think it's cool that we got close only in that five days or so. I kinda miss you YiLong (HAHAHAHA. And I know you won't see this.)

My dear nv er! Hahaha. I know you wanna meet up again, and we will okay! Eh, I'm not sure if this photo was taken this year, but I think so? Hahahaha.

Hello lovelove! :D I could talk about so much with you so I won't say much here.

Dear Exco! I'm so glad we got this meet-up thing going again. And YAY we're meeting next monday! :D

And how could I forget about the Rockers! :D We need more gatherings, yo. The belay job thingy with FAT (without Jayne thought D:) is great, but we need more team things, with RongHui included. Hahaha. Maybe Rockmasters? I need to start climbing thrice a week again. Muscles instead of fats!

And my amazing class! :D We've been having less and less outings since the dudes booked in, but we'll keep having them alright! I will try to organise I guess. /: I kinda miss seeing them actually.

Hahaha my dear Sherlyn. This is a tourist-y shot but I don't care. I LIKE. Hahaha. I miss you! And I've got a present for you! (:

YAY shall end off with this hilarious picture. Which I also like even though we look retarded (which was the point anyway). xD

To anyone who is asking about Uni applications or results, I would've told you if I wanted to by now. (:

Peace. (Hahahahahah so act cool, I know.)

We are the kings and queens of promise

Thanks for loving me, you're doing it perfectly.

2009-12-13T23:56:00.007+08:00

Oh hello. It's been two weeks since A Levels have ended and it sure as hell feels longer than that! Let the picspams do the talking!

I think anyone with a Facebook account can see the photos, so, enjoy! I like the album covers for each of the albums, especially the Prom one. xD Haha.

I guess words do not do these events justice.

SherLi's birthday was celebrated in a post-exam style. Haha. We were all in school uniform some more. But, post-exam celebration is better than during-exam no-celebration. So we had cake-cutting, lunch, MIND CAFE then 2012! Haha lots of money spent in a day but heck. xD Mind Cafe was a blast. Haha Dirty Minds, the dog bone one, and the truth-telling one were the most fun. We should go again someday! :D I like. :D Haha should go with Rockers also, confirm damn fun. xD

KL trip was awesome!

To the max.

I think it's totally down to the company. And the homeliness of Traveller's Palm plus the gorgeousness of Camp 5. I don't think I expected to miss KL so much. It was like one family of friends going out on a trip. Like how we were all concerned when Jonny was sick like shit, or when the girls momentarily freaked out on the first night when there was a sharp scream. In the end, the guys were still playing drinking games down at the hut. Haha. We are family. :D

We would've died without Jayne! She plans absolutely everything to anything. Really, she's Momma Jayne. :D Haha and Adlin was damn pro 'cause she totally knew her way around One Utama by Day Two. Still kinda regret not getting the overalls from Pull & Bear, but I guess shopping at Times Square made up for it! When are we going to pass WanLing her pretty pretty present!

F.A.T is incomplete without you. ):

BBQ tomorrow. Can't wait! :D
But, sad that WanLing cannot join us again. ): Have fun in Malaysia!

Happy birthday, person-of-whom-I-have-no-horrible-nickname-because-I'm-nice!

YAY I love it then you loved your Eighteenth! Lots of planning! But I won't steal the credits 'cause China-girl and Aline and more importantly your dear sisters did a lot of it! (: And the class was lovely to come. Oh and KengJuay booked the restaurant (which I chose. Teehee.)! And of course, SiMei and LiXuan who were supporting roles with me, and for sitting through New Moon with you. HAHAHA. So there, everyone needs thanking, and has been thanked! :D

Still owe you a present though. But yay, the birthday itself is more important. And it felt super good that yours was a good one. Love you! ♥

To mark your turning 18!

Prom was... let the photos do the talking.
The dinner itself was rather boring, except for the times when ChinBoon went up on stage for failing to inflate, during the tie-thumb-and-ten-other-objects game, when JingWei won the supposedly Louis Vuitton (actally it's Le Coq Sportif) Handbag and when Randy won his camera. Oh, and photo-taking time of course. xD

Supperclub was unexpectedly fun! :D I choose to think that it's usually that crazy and crowded even when no JC holds it's post-prom there! We totally packed the place, along with TPJC and MJC. The cocktails were pretty mild, and music was rockin'. I LIKE. :D Too bad we missed Bad Romance, TWICE. And uh, that's the first time I liked Low so much. Hahahaha. Yeah it was fun alright. Tiring for the feet in those heels (which were lovely and kind to me on Prom night. :D), but fun! Zouk or St. James next time! :D

Oh announcement time, I got a job. :D
I'm going to be an Attractions Crew at Universal Studios Sentosa! :D Hopefully they let me on the rides! Haha. There will be training but I'll be paid for those hours so it'll be fine, I hope. Omg this is exciting! Looking forward to it! :D Come visit me you people! :D

Blogging needs momentum. Once I stop, it's hard to start blogging again. Reason for today's post is WAITING FOR GLEEEEE TO LOAD. YAY everybody go watch Glee! :D

The morning brings a mystery; The evening makes it history.

Hello world! :D

I'm living life as if A Levels are over, but they're not! Let's see, on Tuesday, I went out with the class. We went to Xin Wang HK Cafe, Mind Cafe (HAHHAHAH OMG it was damn fun! Pity we didn't take pictures. D:) and watched 2012!

The movie was absolutely mind-blowing. It's the kind where you can't download and watch at home. Two and a half hours was kinda long, but I think we were on the edge of our seats for most part of the movie? So yeah, worth the watch.

Then on Wednesday, lunched at Fish & Co. and watched The Informant! (Yes, with the exclamation mark. xD) with PX and SweeLeng. (: Matt Damon was so good! Haha. And it was written by George Clooney, that's why it felt a bit like Burn After Reading. But nah, although it was a bit of a dark comedy (sadly, Singaporeans didn't really laugh at the funny dialogue), it was not that dark. Matt Damon is just brilliant. It's the kind of movie where you have to sit through to understand I think!

And yes, for those who've watched and understood it, it's really UNBELIEVABLE. xD

And yesterday, went out with HuiYi! :D Haha we were supposed to go picnic but in the end we just went to town. Tsk, I was in T-shirt and shorts. D: I was really hoping I wouldn't meet anyone! Haha in the end we met Lynette, Michelle and Charlene. The three of them so cute, now still such good friends. :D Anyhow, the two of us watched A Christmas Carol at Lido and I fell asleep! I'm so sorry, but the beginning of the movie was just kinda sleep-inducing. And I was probably really tired. D: The end was a bit better. ANYWAY, LIDO SUCKS! The seats are so freaking short that my head is not supported! So when I dozed off, it was horrid. Plus, the fat ass in front of me kept dozing off too, and kept knocking my knee! Bloody hell. Oh and the seats recline, like they actually rock and stretch and bounce. Okay, I think recline is a better word. D:

So there, three movies plus good food. Hence I AM BROKE. D:
Haha, reminds me of how KahWai thinks that I always complain of being broke. But, its true, no? xD

Oh I watched Paranormal Activity online (well, to be exact, I downloaded it), and it wasn't as scary as rumour has it. But Adlin says the online and cinematic versions are different, in terms of the ending. The one in theatres, from what she described, really seems horrifying so I'm glad I kinda watched it at home with YuMei. HAHAHA. Not that interested in horror films anyway.

AND, I finally wathced An Clockwork Orange!

It's a film from 1971, but it's brilliant. It's with colour and everything, if you would've liked to know. Haha. By 1971, they'd developed that technology. xD Please everyone, go watch it. It's for mature audiences, but I'm sure we all can appreciate it. It's a brilliant film.

OKAY! THE END OF MY MOVIE REVIEW THING. Sorry to bore you all with this. Haha.
And that also means I haven't studied at all these past four days. So to all those who are mugging at home, thinking that you can gain an advantage since everyone else is playing, you people are RIGHT. People like me are going to die for Physics Paper 3. D: I think typing this pricks my conscience a little, so I'm going to do some MCQs later. At least one A Level paper.

Oh and I went climbing today! Haha no smiley face because I'm not happy with today's performance. I was seriously pumped up by just warm-up, and that was just going from right to left, not even going back. D: I didn't even want to try endurance routes. And I didn't complete a single boulder problem today. So, sucky sucky sucky day. D: Only good feeling was wearing my shoes and feeling like a climber, that gave some good memories, as well as staring at the wall, and watching the guys flash routes after complaining how hard the routes were. xD HAHAHA.

And yay, finalised the details for KL trip! CANNOT WAIT! :D Best part is my mum has agreed to sponsor it so I'm well-covered. Now I just need to be able to cope with Prom costs. I cannot ask her for more money already, so I'll have to scrimp and save. Haha. A little don't-wanna-go-prom feeling is coming from within me, but I think eventually I would regret not going, so, I'm going! Haha.

So anyway, I'm in KL from the 3rd to 7th of December.
Prom is on the ninth. I hope we'll have a blast! :D

Talking to Adlin and Keok today was so lovely. I really miss you, F.A.T.! And I miss Coach. I wish we still had a Coach. And it's not as if we don't need a Coach. ): Would I be willing to pay for Coaching? Yes. And I really would love the ten or so of us hanging out together every week, pushing each other on, doing annoying highwall and difficult routes, getting demoralised and get pulling ourselves together again. And getting nervous as hell before comps, comfort each other during comps, and hanging out after comps. And the adrenaline rush we get from watching Live Rock-Climbing. All the sick shit. Gah. I miss miss miss. ):

Really hope KL will be a blast!

The new Take That DVD is out and it's going to be delivered to my house! I can't wait to retrieve it from my mailbox, to feel it, to unwrap it, to put it into my DVD player, to watch it in HD, to sing along, and to witness The Greatest Show On Earth! Can you feel my excitement!! Hahaha. It's supposed to be delivered by 30th Nov, which is like so damn coincidental right! Last day of exam = watch-Take-That day! But, they haven't sent me the 'dispatched' email yet, so I'm slightly sad now. Sigh. But IT WILL COME!

And the new Take That books are out too! Haha this is such an expensive year for Take That fans. The books are a bloody $61 bucks EACH from Borders, but if I order it from amazon.com I can get both books for less than seventy bucks! Because there's a Christmas sale. Ah, I'm so tempted. Money money money.

To earn more money, I think I'm going to be a relief teacher! Applied to be one already, but not sure if it's confirmed. If it is, I will most probably go back to Cedar to teach! So it'll be kinda awesome, back in the old school campus. And maybe I can help RongHui with any rock-climbing stuff, or help in LTC/OAC matters. Oh, how I miss Cedar.

It's Cedar's open house today and I didn't go. ): Missed my chance to see the new school campus. Ohwell, I will be back for the Homecoming thingy, which starts really early, so I think I will go late. Haha. Wear your lovely blue-and-grey, yo! Cedarians unite! :D

Time to arrange gatherings now. Exco, Badminton, 4P, 2I, Primary School... all my old contacts. We have to meet up, surely.

OKAY I'm ending this post! Haha it's so bloody long because I'm waiting for my mum to pass me the computer (with a perfect sound system) so that I can watch the amazing Grey's Anatomy! HAHA. And Facebook is boring and I can't do anything else online besides watch stuff. Haha.

Happy birthday :D

2009-11-22T21:47:00.002+08:00

To my dearest buddy Melissa,

Sorry, I tried to text you but it couldn't be sent. My gifts are on their way! :D You'll get them soon, if you haven't already.

Haha I know you're shy, but this HAD to be done! (:
Happy birthday, and keep in touch!

I hope you see this on time. If not I'll be so sad.

I'm contemplating thinking about thinking.

2009-11-05T17:50:00.002+08:00

So, hello world! :D It's been really long! One month since I last blogged.

Life has been cruel. It's been studying and eating a lot. And some recurring headaches and dozing off due to the lack of sleep. And yet somehow, I still feel like I've a long way to go before I'm prepared for As. D: I should read notes and stuff more right, instead of doing papers. But then again

So anyway, just wanna blog before As start. And to have like at least one post a month so that my archives won't be so horrid in the future. HAHA. So lame right, I know. And also I think my typing has deproved greatly. I type with so many typos now I can't stand it myself. I think even my English has deproved. For example, there's no such word as deproved.

The new Take That Circus Live DVD is coming! :D AHHHH. This month is supposed to be a great month for Thatters (Take That fans, haha) but yet I'm stuck studying. Life just isn't fair. ):

Shoutout to all those taking As:

HANG IN THERE!

Being happy is more important than getting As. That said, I hope getting As isn't all that will make you happy. (: Life's greater than that.

HAHA. Bye!

Bodies making chemistry

2009-10-01T13:49:00.005+08:00

I look like Michael Jackson now. ): No offence. But sigh, it's horrid. D:

I self-proclaimed Children's Day Holiday for myself today. Hence I'm home now. Well, actually I felt too ugly to leave the house. It's true. I feel really ugly now. I don't wanna leave the house for like a week. But I guess tomorrow I'll have to go to school again. ):

Sentosa was great. But the after-effects are the worst of my horrors. D:

Check out Sherlyn's and SherLi's expressions. :D

And we all look sunkissed. Okay fine, sunburnt. ):

YAY! I'm glad it was awesome for Sherlyn. Haha her first time, so must make it special. :D And JingWei was very cute to send an email to us. HAHA. I think it's sweet. (:

Now the whole class looks burnt and baked. Haha for the past two days, every time anyone we know sees us and asks 'How come you so red!', we'll just point to the whole class and say 'Oh we went Sentosa together'. HAHA. We're all in this together, yo. :D So cute. And my shoulders hurt like crazy so I can't carry any bag. It's that bad. And why do girls have to wear bras? ): It hurts like hell for me okay. Gah. So anyway I've been carrying this file to school. HAHA very primary school, but, necessary!

If there're any memories to make me not regret coming to VJC instead of a Poly, it would be my lovely class and Rock Climbing. Okay and TaiWan trip and definitely getting to know Sherlyn. Haha, honoured or not?

Okay actually I treasure everything besides the studies part. That, I'd rather not have at all.

"I told you so."

Anyway, to all who have watched Inglorious Basterds (or not, who cares?), presenting to you, Christoph Waltz!

His smile is just sooooooo nice.

Omg the pictures don't do him justice. He's just so charming! Okay everyone should watch Inglorious Basterds 'cause of him. He steals the show. Completely. Please please, before you pass judgement, go watch the movie! He is a linguistic genius who can speak German, Italian, French and English. If that isn't enough, I guess the fact that Brad Pitt is in the movie should have some appeal (but seriously, Waltz STEALS the show).

And I know he's an old guy and I'm liking another old guy. But I can't help it! They're charming!

Okay enough. I should be studying.

P.S.: My mum was watching Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, and the question was 'What is the last day in the week in alphabetical order?' OMG. -.- And she was damn happy when she could answer all the questions. HAHA. All I said was 'That's why this show can only survive in America'.

On a sidenote, I think my mum is damn cool. She has an artpiece on display at the Singapore Art Museum. :D
